Full body shield - Galaxy Note GT-N7000 Accessories

Hey just came across this full body shield on ebay. The price is very affordable to anyone but the big problem is that they only ship to India. Anyone has previously purchased from them and do they ship worldwide?

Which one can be fully covered device? as I see mostly covered but there are little surface will not be covered by film...

Xtreme Guard's shield does not fully cover the Note. Only the lcd and battery cover - very disappointed.

After I use the hair dryer and some stretching....my skinomi carbon fiber skin covers about 99% of my phone....so I would think that their transparent one should do the same

I went for one of the gadgetshieldz.com clear skins.
I gave up trying to get the side pieces to sit correctly.
I didn't bother with the battery cover option as it would not look right on the textured finish.
In the end I just applied the front cover.
My thoughts after a couple of week usage.
It marks up when using the stylus (which I do a lot) and doesn't heal.
I have not used the stylus for a week (on purpose) and I can still see the words I wrote previously.
The overalll size could be improved, it is approximately 0.38 mm too narrow all round and you get an extra lip which is very noticeable when swiping.
Just my tuppence.
TAD

I tried the iDefense carbon fibre skin. It's very difficult to apply at the rounded edges, and overall it makes the phone MORE SLIPPERY.

[Review] ORZLY fusion case with photos

Hello everyone! I am going to present you my new case.
In the 20th of March I ordered the genuine Orzly hybrid fusion bumper case with the clear rear panel.
The case arrived at my home (I live in Greece, the case came from the UK) at the 24th of the same month while the delivery was estimated between 26/3/2014 and 1/4/2014. So it arrived two days earlier. Excellent service!
The cost was 8.5 euros.
The package was a big folder with bubbles and it was inside a transparent bag with the Orzly logo.
The case had a protector on its back to prevent from scratches, though I had to remove it because it was full of bubbles, so I couldn’t keep it as it was.
Some small defects were on the rear panel, so I tried to remove them with a dry towel. The result was having some very slight rows (like scratches but really small and in hand you can’t feel them).
Then I washed the case with hot water and soap but nothing happened.
I was a bit disappointed but they are hardly seen so I overpassed it.
It is small and does not fatten the phone.
In the hand the feeling is very nice as the black part is smooth and a bit soft. In the touch it is like the original back cover of our Moto G.
The rear panel does not keep many signs of my hand and it is pretty nice. Especially for anyone who have bought a colorful back cover it will be awesome!
The keys are covered by the case but it is very easy to push them. Of course the ports are not covered.
Overall I am satisfied with this case. Far better in look and in touch from others I' ve tried.
Hope I helped with this thread.

I picked up the Spigen case from Amazon. It's built well and fitment is great. It came with the screen protector. Like many others report, it has a lot of issues. Their customer service is a joke regarding the known issue as they request photos and vidoes. Really? All they had to do was read the Amazon reviews to see the first run was faulty.
Either way, the case is solid. Just don't get their screen protectors.
i ended up getting a tpu case for £1.90, its pretty darn good, also a tempered glass screen protector ive put on, im pretty confident its well protected now..

I bought this case it fits great all buttons are easy to use with it on. The only issue one might have is the cut out on the bottom for the USB port may not be big enough for some third party USB cord ends.

You've probably come across this. Its a little bulkier than I hoped but its growing on me. I love the tempered glass but wish I hadn't been so eager to stick it on--no bubbles, just the tiniest piece of lint inside. Its hardly noticeable, and undetectable unless the screen is lighter background, but those things bother me. Next time I'll use latex gloves to apply it.
I like the glass back to but not crazy about the amazon logo being in full view. What do people think about a nice android logo or cyanogenmod decal?
Also...the headphone cut out doesn't leave room for larger audio jacks. It doesn't affect me but Some peoples car jacks won't connect.
Overall excellent buy for the money.

Thanks for the tip. For $9, it's like buying the tempered glass and getting the case for free. Definitely worth a try with no real downside if it turns out to be too bulky.

It was a great deal. To be honest, only reason its bulkier than I thought was because one of the reviews said it was "less bulky than expected..." But the pic in the ad doesn't really mislead. It'll probably be the same size as you imagine--about a half inch thick.
And take my advice applying the glass. Its super easy but read it through first and keep it as clean as possible.

Thanks for posting this. Is the back of this case glossy like the sides/edges, or is frosted/dull? It looks frosted from the photos, but I'm not a 100% sure. I'm looking for a similar case that's glossy all over.

AT&T store case sale
Local AT&T stores seem to be having a fire sale on Fire Phone cases. I picked up a nice Speck case, retail $35 for $5. They had several other cases there too. This has also been mentioned on Slickdeals re the eBay Fire Phone/Amazon Prime deal (the price of the eBay deal seems to change from $139 to $189 depending on the sellers mood).

I got a white case from Speck with the CandyShell design.
http://www.speckproducts.com/amazon.html
They had the Blue and the Pink. They also had a leather case that said 50% off of $35, but when they rung it up it was $5. Leather was nice and small but offered little protection...no raised lip around the display.
There might have been some others...don't remember them all. They were on a clearance rack.

I found the Incipio extended battery case at my local ATT store marked down from 90 to 10. You pretty much just have to go ask and someone will go dig around in the back and find what they have. I also picked up a regular incipio case with the aluminum back, but is kind of warped already and doesn't stay on that well. For 5 bucks, it's not even worth taking back to exchange!
I just bought the Amazon Polyurethane Case for Fire Phone, Blue when I purchased the phone they had them for $10. It works great, doesn't get in the way of the buttons/ports while still protecting the corners, and has a nice texture that isn't too slick but cleans up well. It barely adds anything to the phones dimensions as well.
I bought the Incipio Dual Shine case from an AT&T store for $10 and it has been pretty good. A little heavy, but the brushed metal back looks slick. I've dropped it a few times and it has held up.

ultimate shield glass screen protectors

I have recently purchased a ultimate shield glass screen protector that is case friendly from eBay for £10.99
The first 1 I was sent fitted perfect but would not stick to my phone so the company sent me another.
The second 1 stuck well but let dirt through the sides.
So they asked me to wait another week to try a upgraded version so I did and that arrived today. Although the sides are now black (previously clear) which fixed the dirt entering the side of the phone but none the top edges stick at all and there is far to much space between the phone screen and the glass so there's a clicking noise all the time when in use.
So I of course contacted the company again as I payed £10.99 and still my phone is not protected so I do expect a refund regardless to there help sending more out as they are not fit for purpose, I am thankful for them trying.
So the last conversation I had with them regarding a refund was they have yet another version of the protector they are sending out to me today to try so I shell receive that tomorrow hopefully and if it fits well I will upload pictures ect..
The bottom line is atm the ultimate shields glass screen protectors do not yet work for our devices so you may won't to keep clear for now if you have thought about buying 1.
Any updates please?

New 1 just arrived. I will be installing shortly. This 1 is described very different as a 3d silk printed / black
Just fitted this screen protector and it is the best I've had to date. It fits perfect! There is deffienetly no space between the glass. It fits perfect around the phone. The glue is much stronger than any previous protectors. The curve seems more of a curve than previous but I still am able to use my cafele case without any uplifting.
I'm extremely happy with this protector and deffienetly worth the £10.99!
I'm not sure what cases this will work with as I only have 2 slim cases and originally it's advertised as a case friendly protector so it should fit a variety of cases as there is a gap at the top and rear for the case bumber access. I will try and upload a picture of it fitted later today when I have access to a camera.
Ultimate shields seem to be a good company and will help you with any issues. I would recommend buying this version and if you was to go ahead and buy this model I would message them first and tell them you want the new version vimto25 from xda was sent in case you receive old stock.
Is it "Case Friendly" ?

I think it's a 50/50 situation. The first few I had of them was classed as case friendly and I believe they was very case friendly but as I stated they had issues.
This new 1 looks slightly less case friendly but I have a case on it and it fits to a T so I think it needs testing with different cases that I do not have. It has gaps around the top and bottom and the sides for a case to fit with a open top which I prefere.
I've just received a message from the seller after giving them my feedback. They have said it's not yet in production I am the first to of tried this. But they assured me if you message them with my xda username you will be send this new design of there's.
I hope someone with a few cases purchases this and gives there feedback on what cases fit and what cases don't.
Ordered one today and they are send me a development unit, thank you!
Just need to get the phone now....

Do you have any cases?
Well you've done it the right way a protector should always be brought before the phone arrives in my opinion ?
I have ordered the Nillkin Frosted Shield case based on the positive reviews in the other thread. Phone arrives tomorrow, and screen protector is shipping today so hopefully...... I always like to fit the screen protector straight away while the phone is new.

Anyway i like nillkin case too in red color :laugh:
I got this one from Amazon
http://a.co/azkOIIU
Fits really good and you can see pics I took in the reviews.
I reached out to Devilcase and asked if they were planning any Aluminum bumper cases for the XZ2.
In the first half of May 2018 they should be releasing one for the phone. Just incase anyone else likes those Aluminum bumper cases.
I Have also reached out to Luphie Cases but from them I didn't get any answer as of yet.
DBrand told me they won't be selling any XZ2 Skins.
I might add that I've been using the Style Touch cover for the XZ2 and will until the Devilcase one arrives in late May/June. I don't like the flappy window cover at all. The touch cover is too rigid when you've got the cover opened and I can't hold it comfortably in my hand whilst open. When its closed the cover is not straight on top of the screen and makes it hard for the screen to register touches on the left side of the screen.
Any advice for some shockproof case with display protection? Something like https://m.ebay.com/itm/For-Sony-Xpe...:m:mc31MQr_76OVK-2tnCk12aA&varId=413321369055 (but with display protection I have mentioned).

Nice fit, slim and well built.
I have this Nillkin transparent case and it's fine. I also ordered an IMAK case today. I had IMAK cases in the past the the grip is fantastic, it's like you touch a stone.
I have to say these two look kinda decent....

This Nillkin one also looks kinda neat.
this case is awesome and my phone is well protected in case of drop

Likewise I reached out to Devilcase and asked about a bumper case for the XZ2 compact, the first response was as you mention the second half of may. I waited and the bumpercase for the regular XZ2-model did show up and is available on their page. No sign of the XZ2-compact model however. So I once again reached out and after some back and forth it turns out the XZ2-compact is not available on their domestic market so they will not make the bumpercase available through them directly, it will only be available through their retailers. I am currently awaiting a response for which of their retailers will carry the XZ2-compact model, and will update with their response.

After much searching (I have not yet heard back from devilcase) I believe I have actually found the first batch of bumpercases for the XZ2 Compact (In one of my mails from Devilcase they eluded to that the first batch of cases were branded differently than they normally would be). It seems they went here:
As you can see they are branded DECASE, but it is in fact the Devilcase bumpers, as Croy Mobile is listed as one of their retailers on the Devilcase homepage. So it would seem that a bumpercase for the XZ2 Compact is available, but only in Japan, as I can find no mention of international shipping on the homepage of Croy Mobile.

yeah, that's the Ringke Onyx. It's probably the single, best case available at the moment, if you want any protection for the screen and corners that is. The trend these days seem to be thin cases that just protect from scratches and not drops of any kind. Something I personally don't quite understand (as someone who tends to drop the phone at the gym every couple of months ).
Was quite disappointed in this guy, the Olixar ExoShield. As you can see in this picture I took before I sent it back, while it has great protection for the corners and screen, it's a box that completely ignores the shape of the back of the phone. That ticked me off so much I had to send Olixar a complaint about it asking them what the heck they were thinking.

UK Case thread

Thought I would start a new 'case thread' for the Z Fold 2, as the current one in this forum is very US orientated and the cases discussed there - are simply not available in the UK right now.
I will kick this off though with a high level of frustration, that this is the hardest phone to get a bloody case for! Especially given that it's one of the most fragile. Sure you can pay £80 for a flimsy bit of leather that only protects the back of the phone from Samsung. That's just a crazy price and poor value for money. But as far as I know that's the only case available to buy today (28th September).
I ordered the following Araree Bonnet leather Case from MobileFun 3 weeks ago and it's still out of stock for at least another 3 weeks:
https://www.mobilefun.co.uk/araree-bonnet-samsung-galaxy-z-fold-2-5g-wallet-stand-case-black-82183
There are no other cases available from them, they are all out of stock. Same with Amazon, where you are going to be waiting for several weeks before items are in stock. I really don't understand why, I have never had this issue with a new phone before, there were cases available for the Note 20 Ultra 2 weeks prior to the release date.
Yeah the case situation is pathetic. Just using the official leather at the moment as its better than nothing.

I think Samsung are charging way too much for the leather one, I bet they deliberately priced it so high because the people likely to buy this phone have a bit more cash to splash. Or that they know the cases are in short supply.
I bought the official leather case for my Galaxy Note 20 Ultra. It's twice the size of the Fold 2 case but cost considerably less, £30 (with a discount) and even that was too much in my opinion. I really need one that protects the cover screen, hence the reason I went for the Araree case.

Don't all flame me for this post... but I bought the cheap (China) faux leather hard case on ebay for £5 gbp and its actually perfectly fine. Its also available as UK stock for about £9 with quicker delivery
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UK-STOCK...var=661853030175&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
The rear cover fully protects the camera bump and sides.
The front cover protects the edges of front screen and sides (but does make swiping down from top of screen gesture a bit hit and miss for my big fingers)

Do you have a link? I think it might be one I was considering while I wait for the one from MobileFun.

(My fold2 is my only device so I cannot take a pic of the device with case fitted sorry)

Good to know about this.
The one you bought is not the same one I was looking at but similar:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/392948709396
It's cheap but it's better than nothing, I just ordered it now, because I really need something to protect this phone until something more premium comes along.
So thanks for sharing the link, I will update here when I receive the one I just bought!

So I ordered a cheap case off eBay whilst I wait several weeks for a much better one. Supposed to arrive this week. Of course on eBay, "UK STOCK" posted by Royal Mail that takes over a week to arrive means only one thing of course... they are being sent from China. Which I mostly expected when I ordered but took a chance that maybe someone was being honest. No wonder people claim item hasn't arrived and get their money back and still get to keep the item.
I am getting desperate for ANY kind of case for this phone, but the only one available from Samsung is the leather one (£80) or pay £150 upwards from a shark on eBay who clearly only snapped up a whole load of decent cases to add 200% mark up profit, adding over £100 to a £50 case. Crooks.
So no cases available in the UK at a non inflated price. I checked all the usual online outlets and all citing 'expected' stock in 3-4 weeks. What a frustrating crazy situation, for such a premium and arguably delicate phone, why on earth is there such a shortage here?

Update: One of the cases arrived today, just a hard clear back cover:
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...e=STRK:MEBIDX:IT&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
It fits perfectly and will protect the back glass at least. It seems good quality for the £3 I paid, but like all these kind of cases , it adds weight to the phone on one side. Still it's better than nothing!

The £5.99 cases on eBay UK are pretty good and protect.botg the front and back ... I bought the black one which is exactly the same as the Spigen Thin-Fit case but without the brand name and for a fraction of the price
https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/For-Sams...504442?hash=item48ed93623a:g:SqUAAOSwy0VfZHXS
I am starting to think Samsung, Spigen and others are taking Z fold2 owners for mugs with over inflated pricing on cases...

Yeah, you're absolutely right, the premium cases for this (very expensive) phone, are almost impossible to source, and when you eventually find one they are over-inflated prices. Trouble is sellers know that desperate consumers (who possibly have more cash than your average consumer) will eventually part with their money to protect such a valuable phone. But I am not falling for that. I have had an order for the Araree Bonnet leather case with MobileFun for over a month now and it's still showing at least a further month for stock to arrive. It's a quality leather cover case and is only costing me £35. In the meantime I am just keeping it in a neoprene pouch. The snakes on eBay buying these up and selling them for £180 - I hope someone screws them over at some point.
Anyway thanks for the link to the one you bought. The bezel on the front cover looks very thick though. Is that a bit awkward to use? I ordered a similar cheap Chinese one off eBay just to tide me over.

The only problems are swiping from the edge gestures (eg open side-bar swipe from right or notifications bar swipe down from top) which are difficult and a bit of trial and error at times. I am old school and use the 3 button navigation so not sure if gesture navigation is affected or not.
All things considered tho I prefer to use this (inexpensive) Chinese made case to protect my expensive new phone until such time as mid priced (£20 max) cases from popular brand names are widely available and are actually in stock.
P.S. for the first few days I before my case arrived i used a "sock" or "sleeve" repurposed with the fabric mesh bag that came free with my Anker 10,000mAh portable battery. Better than nothing.

I bought the same one but had to stop using after a few hours, found swiping up and down was more miss than hit.
I've got the VRS Hard Drop active on order, for the time being i'm just carrying it in a 'ShockSock' which to be fair does the job well
where did u order it from

its very expensive to ship from the brs website
I've already chipped my hinge due to lack of protection the back leather on its own isn't enough

Direct from the VRS website, I got a 15% off code (SMILEAGAIN30) when I went on the site, I think it was $53 dollars all in for the case and postage. The discount basically gave me near free postage.
I went for the black version, shipping at the end of the month apparently...so ShockSock it is till that arrives
I just received one of the Chinese two piece black plastic ones that were shown in this thread. The frame for the front part is very stiff and while this means it will stay put, the amount of force needed to put it on has scared me from doing so. I don't want to scratch my phone putting a case onto it! Or am I worrying unnecessarily? I much prefer the softer gel ones.

I think you may be worrying unnecessarily about the front cover I have had the Chinese case on my fold2 for 3 weeks now and no marks visible (I only removed it to check after reading your post ). Also I left the factory fitted front screen protector on the glass so I guess i have the additional scratch protection provided by the film cover.
I'm not in the UK, but the Netherlands.
I'm currently using the Shocksock I had for the original Fold, now on the Fold 2. It doesn't fit as well as on the original, but it's OK.
I bought a Fitbag from Germany, but those things are precision-made, and even with Samsung's very thin leather back cover on the phone, the whole thing becomes too fat for the sleeve.
The VRS case looks nice. Has anyone received theirs yet?
Another nice-looking one is the Spigen thin case.
There's rarely a source for any of these cases in the Netherlands, so ordering from the US is expensive and is often fraught with extra charges at the door.
