So I know every one is into getting cases for theres as am I but in addition to that I highly recommend getting a Bodygaurdz.com sticker system that comes included with a AWESOME screen protector as well. The case is great but when its out of the case its not protected. Just got mine a few days ago and I'm so thrilled! I'm not afraid of those little scratches when setting it down on tables or the scratches if it slides at all on any surface. Not only that but the texture of the carbon fiber one I got makes it so much less slippery and such s better grip for ease of use while holding. Especially if you get lazy like me and use it in bed haha. This is the one I got. There ****ing sexy and great protection out of your case. http://www.bodyguardz.com/armor-carbon-fiber-samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1.html

Ordered. Thanks for the tip - I like the bookcase but am starting to wish I could just hold the tab on its own as the case makes it handle like a far heavier tablet.

I just bought a tab 10.1 today for $350 and it already had that on it .
Zomg!! That looks so awesome!!! If only it comes in blue... -.-
this looks really good, I already have the official Sammy bookcase cover and like Jake suggested it makes the tab heavier than I wish it was. I please report back if you can use this with the bookcase cover, which I still would like to use for longer travels. Thanks i
I have the Skinomi carbon fibre look skin, same as the Body Guard. Works fine in the Samsung Book Case cover, but I only applied it to the gray portion on the back, did not use the pieces for the area around the camera, nor the sides.
If you do use the side pieces, expect some potential wear issues from the Book Case's corner clips on the vinyl skin.
I just ordered the SGP Carbon Skin Guard, quite the same as this one but $10 cheaper.
I ended up with several specks of dust under the screen front so have taken off - will it retain the stickiness if I clean it eg with soap and water to try another application? Back is fabulous.

I'm glad I clicked on this post before posting my own...
I needed a temporary case while I wait for OtterBox to get off their duffs! The Note by itself is pretty thin and slippery for my hands and the back cover was already started to scuff up.
I checked Amazon.com, since I get free shipping through them, and saw the BoxWave DuoSuit case for the Note (which looks exactly like the one posted here, but in black).
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B000H13M2K/
It's a pretty nice case for the money, fit is nice and tight and it definitely makes it more grippy with a little knurled texture on the sides. Definitely not too bulky, I actually prefer it to the naked Note feel. Cut outs are ample so it protects without getting in the way of everything. The power and volume buttons are covered with wide rubber bumpers which is perfect for me because the buttons were too easy to press before. Now it only responds to intentional presses.
Obviously, this won't fit in the dock so it will come off when I put it in my dock at night, but that just gives me a chance to clean the inside of the case and keep it from collecting fluff.
I also dropped the phone just a couple minutes putting on the case and it made a dull padded thud, which I prefer to the clackle of unprotected phone hitting the floor. No notable damage.
I'm pretty happy for a $10 case. It's even almost kind of nice looking (I'm extremely picky).
I have this in black color
I have this case in black and white, and although a very nice case overall, I'm hating it due to it being a lint magnet, the whole screen after a day in my pocket is just covered in felt and dust, especially around the edges of the screen.
I've now ordered a hard plastic case..so disappointed
Received my Trident Aegis case today. Went with the bright green (which I so far prefer to the darker green which they previously used, I had a Cyclops case in this color on my HTC Glacier.)
One gripe is, so far, the open space surrounding the camera on the back of the case. This is an odd decision. Not a big deal to me, though; but still worth mentioning.
The biggest gripe, though, is that the phone is not at all easy to actually get into the case. I'm not saying that it doesn't fit. The problem is that you first place the phone into the colored, gel surrounding piece. You then have to fit these piece (and its protruding buttons) into the very hard and rigid black/grey plastic piece. It's kind of hard to do this since the gel-covered buttons have to fit into the holes on the device, and I ended up hitting the power button over and over again, and botting into recovery because one of the volume rockers was held down.
My Cyclops case, for the Glacier, was designed in the opposite way. The phone first fit into two hard pieces (a front and back piece, basically), and then a black rubber surrounding piece went around the plastic itself. This was really easy to take the phone out of and place it back within.
I know people will ask...I'd say the phone doesn't add too much in the way of size to the already very large S-II, but the only comparison I have is the D30. I do not have the Incipio or Seideio cases to compare.
My aegis case for my vibrant was the same. Its how they all are in terms of getting it on. Waiting for mine to get for the sgs2

my main concern is how well it protects but a close second on how hard it is to get out of the pocket. if im going to spend to cash to get something that would work well i want it to be what i want. any opinions?
So overall how do you feel about the case?
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium
I'd say pocket fitment is mostly contingent upon the pocket. I have been putting the SII + Trident case in the front pocket of shirts and it only sticks out a small bit. It fits in my jeans pockets, but I wear my jeans a bit baggy. It won't fit in the pockets of my dressier slacks. So, I find it easy to get out of most pockets. My Glacier + Trident was actually probably a bit more difficult due to the ribbed silicone surround. The case for the S II doesn't have much to snag on. Keep in mind though, that the Glacier + Case was a lot thicker, front screen to back battery cover, than the S II is. This definitely had something to do with it as well.
Overall I am pleased with the case. I like the color options, shape, and structural design of the case. While I did find the previous "Cyclops" style case that I had for my Glacier to be easier to take off and on, this new case seems, at least at first glance, to provide equal or better protection while also being easier to fit in pockets.
One footnote: I'm using this case along with a Zagg wet application invisible shield and I'm not having any issues with the corners peeling.
What did you pay? Looks sick.

Same question I had, it says on product page that it includes a "Re-Applicable Screen Protector".
BTW, coupon code "holiday2011" gives you a nice $7 off!
does the screen protector look to be of good quality?
I also noticed that the plastic doesn't hold/secure the rubber on the bottom of the phone, is it easy for the bottom corners to come off say when you're putting it in or pulling it out of your pockets?
Thanks!

The screen protector does look cheap. I'm not using it so I didn't really pay much attention to it. The hard case does not wrap around the bottom, so it is just the gel casing. But I haven't had any issues with the case coming off when putting the phone in my pocket
I really wish otter would make a defender case for this phone! I loved it on my iPhone
¤sent by the juggernaut¤
I paid $22 with free shipping using the promo code holiday2011.
And yes, I got it from the tridenteer site.
i just ordered one... ill compare and take pictures comparing it to my incipio silicrylic case when i get the trident
I put the screen protector on. Used a wet install. Looks great so far. Smooth feel and very clear. It is dark outside right now, so I will report back tomorrow during the day. Looks really good in the house. Just a few air bubbles settling. I can tell they will go away though.
Screen protector is great. Really clear in light and dark. I'm sure there's better quality out there but for free its great. Also I have the green case. Get compliments like crazy about this case. Very high quality and looks pretty sick. Great protection. Great looks. Great case.
FYI the Incipio case has the slight gap around the camera as well.
The only issue I have seen, been using the case about a week, is the flap that covers the charging port doesn't want to stay closed. It doesn't hang down enough to cause problems really but isn't a tight fit and would def let dust in. Other than this small issue the case works great.
Ok so i just bought the ballistic maxx case from the at&t store for $50. I walk out to my car to put it on and quickly find out the case is a piece of $h!t. I dont know where to start but ill try. 1st its nothin lime the ballistic HC case i owned for other phones and absolutely loved. All it is is a ballstic sg case with this redicilous removable screen protector. Itd a hard plastic piece that you put on the phone after you slide the rubber gel on the phone. The plastic is hard to put on. I can see eventually scratching the phone trying to do this snd when you do get it on its lose as hell. It sits off the phone so far theres a gap in between it and the screen. When you press it it clicks against phone. The lip on the case is so big you have to curl your thumb to hit home screen. And ballistic has the balls to charge $50 for that piece of crap. This is one of the worst cases i have ever seen. I immediately took it back and got my refund. If you need a rugged case wait for the defender. That case is junk. If you dropped it in water the water would poor right through the cheap screen protector. Also theres no protection for camera. I took a few pics before returning.

I checked it out at a AT&T as well and I have to agree...I thought it was garbage.
I dont understand what it is there trying to do. There HC cases were very good cases. Fit both my evos very good. Ballistics only downfall to me was customer service and they were normally late to the game. This case is just an embarassment to ballisctic. Very cheap not well cut and just dosent go well with the phone

I hate bulky cases on slim phones anyway.
I got the case and I don't see why you guys are giving it such a bad rap. I bought it for when I go over to the desert for the extra protection and it should work just fine. I actually liked the look and feel better than other otterbox cases. Personal preference I guess.
I have the normal Ballistic SG coming from amazon tuesday or wednesday so I'm hoping it winds up being a nice case. if not ill probably check out the trident ageis or casemate tough
Thats too bad, it looks pretty cool
The main thing is that whole removable screen protector. That wws just a dumb idea

I had the same issue! It would bubble up after installing the screen protector. The case is JUNK. That is a fact.
No disrespect meant at all....but I completely disagree with the OP. I have this case and have grown to really like it. OP mentioned the screen protector having a gap between it and screen....it does not if installed correctly. Instructions clearly state to place screen protecter on phone BEFORE applying gel case. There is a lip around the screen prot/gel case that locks it into place (which also greatly aids in keeping water out....not saying go drop it in the washer and walk away but you get what I mean). then the polycarb shell fits perfectly....it's all a tight fit and imo looks good. i added pics of mine installed in another thread(can't remember where at the moment). Anyway, I wrote this reply to let people know it's not a bad case....actually had an otterbox defender on my previous phone and it became stretched out and ugly as hell. this case won't do that bc of the outter poly carb shell and how the gel shell is locked on the screen protector. Just saying don't dismiss this case on one or two bad reviews. It's a great case if installed correctly. I even ordered the Ballistic SG in a different color combo to switch things up since i already have the screen protector and holster. I would NOT have ordered a second if it was crap!!

You also said in that thread that your not using the screen protector. I would imagine its bc of the lack of clarity or something else? Why pay $50 for a rugged case if you dont have the built in screen protector? They need to bring back the HC series. And when the defender is released youll see how making a 3 layer rugged case look smooth and fluid isnt that hard

You are correct. When I posted that I wasn't using the sp. I liked it then. Now I have it on and like other just the same. Its still very responsive and clear. NO gap between screen and sp at all. I have used an ob defender....smooth and fluid are not words I would use to describe it. I liked it bc I could bounce it off of cement with no ill effects but it was hello ugly imo. To r each his own I guess. Just wanted everyone to see how the sgmaxx preformed when installed correctly.

In your pictures it dose look like a nice fit. I tryd puttin the screen protector on before putting silicone on and after and it just was hidious. Also watchin the video review on youtube people really didnt have anything good to say. I just like the HC case and tje Defender because it gives you the feeling the phone is sealed tight and well protected. Ballstic sg maxx to me isnt really any different then a seidio rugged combo case. Layer after layer but no real screen protection

Bought a clone from ebay. $5. Hasn't arrived yet. I still think the Kraken will be the one to beat.
I have a commuter now and i really like this case. I normally hlget defenders but must admit after a while between the dirt that gets under the screen protector and stuff it gets annoying. I have the visor screen protector now and really like the slim case.
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
The case isn't horrible but it is (at least for me) difficult to hit the buttons at the bottom of the screen. The removable protector is not a "bad" idea but if they had a better fitting screen protector I think it would be better for us users. Having the option to replace it is nice but you don't have the option to have the screen face out while in the holster. I saw that seidio has the surface case so I might return this case and buy that. I really wish they would make a waterproof otterbox case which might happen because FINALLY Samsung has a device that is the same shape for all the carriers!
Usually with the Otterbox cases I pop out the built in protector and put one on the screen directly. I had an iPhone 4 that got chips in the glass because of little particles getting in between the glass and the built in screen protector.

I have the same case and I like it. It was not too difficult to put on for me. As for the screen protector, I also have it off and like that it is not like the Otterbox. Why do that on a $50 case? Its the same reason I rip the display cover off the Otterbox Defender series. Because I don't like them. If I ever start scratching my display maybe I will install the removable display cover since it can go on and off. But I get these cases not for the screen protector but for those rare times I drop my device. And for that I am fine with it.
Alright here's what I'm looking for, I'm looking for a clear acrylic shell case that is one piece. Been on amazon and eBay but only found clear cases that are 2 pieces that snap together. What I plan on doing is, I have the protective flip cover and want to still utilize a case to protect the rest. In order to do so I have to cut out a section of the side off the case for the flip part to open completely. With a 2 piece case I'm worried it won't completely close, but with the shell 1 piece cases that typically hold onto the corners of the phone, it should hold.
Any help would be appreciated.

Alright, so I found a acrylic case that's clear and exactly what I was looking for on eBay. Went ahead and bought 2 just incase I messed up the cutting... and they were only 3 bucks. So I went ahead with my dremmel and cut out the spot for the flap and went to put it on... no go. Didn't realise the new flip case made the phone just a tad thicker than the shell could fit.
So next up is the harder gel cases, tpu I think. Going to give that a try next. But if any one knows of a case that works with the oem flip case that would be great.
Oh, I'll be adding pics to show what I'm talking about.

Is there even a case out there that works with the flip case? Or could one be made?
