http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...one-back-case-for-i9100-galaxy-s2-black-70754
The minute I find one I'll buy it... I actually prefer getting the case even before I buy the Note.

I'm with you, this phone is too expensive to damage. I've been searching everyday and have yet to find anything. I usually prefer Ballistics' cases but I doubt they will be making one for this phone so it's back to the drawing board. I'm also wondering if zagg will be making a screen protector for this device. Don't know what I can expect with such a massive device. Maybe turn to the manufacturers of the best tablet cases... I'll post here when I find some cases.

I facebooked Both Ballistic and Otterbox and they both say they don't have any plans for a case.
I'd hate to use my Note without a really good case. Maby i'll make one out of wood...

I'm liking the little brown case that just has a front flat that opens up like a book but it's not protective at all lol

Me too but I can't find a link to buy it yet. Expansys has blue and white...... Yuck..

I think the case of expansys is sleek. It's not making the note any thicker.
Hope they got variety of colors though..

samsung flipover
Samsung will come with a flipover, the back of the flipover will replace the original back of the note. So the note will only become a few mm thicker

I'm also looking to get the Samsung flipover cover when it becomes available. The only problem is the side of the Note remains unprotected, I'm thinking getting a gel case and trim off the left hand side so it will fit togther with the flipover cover.

Meanwhile, here is a really nice durable skin that is already available on Amazon I have used the Skinomi on my previous phones and it covers the phone nicely. All the cutouts are aligned and it barely feels like there is anything on it. Btw, the carbon fiber look makes it look really mean and clean. oh another thing, it's lifetime warranty too.

How does the screen protector feel? I know the Skinomi's tablet protector feels rubbery.

The carbon fibre film must just be 3m di-noc carbon fibre, can be had much cheaper on Ebay and you can just custom cut it to any device.
I wont be sludging up my screen with a screen protector

yup....looking for the same but no luck.
The flip cover is not practical IMHO esp when making calls.

I always used to get hard crystal clear cases such as
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Cry..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3f0fa5fde0
for my phones.
But lately ive really liked the TPU gel case with stand, such as:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-TPU...204593?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0db99071
Which is just like the case in the OP really
The stand is surprisingly useful!

is the only case i can find at the moment

Everyone who doesn't need the case right away, wait til piel frama comes out with a imagnum type of case. This case is expensive but it protects your device against any earthquake you throw at it. I have one for my hd2 and getting one for the note cause my hd2 is still like new. You can put in your e-mail and they'll let you know when it's there to buy. Here's the link

If they release a case like this for the Note I think it might be worth a try. The kickstand could be useful.

Guys do you think a leather/cloth Pouch Pull case would be good enough?
E.g: I though I had more posts here. Anw can't post complete link. The below works tho.

I hate any other cases. Screen protector will be fitted of course.

Just found these. I am about to order one right now...

Video Review: Casemate TOUGH case for the Galaxy Note

Hello all,
I have bought a Casemate tough case and received it today and made a quick video on youtube about how it looks and feels on my channel.
In summary it is a fantastic case and the only drawback is the fact that it hand't been released earlier.
Here is the Youtube link

How thick does it make the device now?

It's not actually that bad to be honest. It gives it a "nice and comfortable" feel

How about when you put it in your pocket? is it still comfortable in there? I use TPU cases right now, and they're fairly slim as they are. But I never feel comfortable with them if I were to drop my device. They're just good for scratches, not for falls (which never happens, but I'm sure it will happen sooner or later).

It fits into my pocket alright a nice fit without making it look like i am "excited" . I am 6'2" however so my pockets might be slightly bigger. With this I literally have no worries about it dropping. I probably don't even need the screen protector on the device.
If you look on my youtube channel there is another case review up from casemate too and the phone does seem just as secure without the added bulk.

Will it fit an extended battery?

Depends how big...a slight raise and you might just get away with it but an extended battery like a 4500mAh then no...This case is designed exactly for the normal battery with a tiny tiny bit of room if any

Nice lookin' case, shame it's only in black

nice case there, the only thing is it adds so much bulk to the note, that's my only concern with this case...

I see what you mean but I don't mind it as the phone is big already.
I just love the case because it is soooo comfortable to hold. I had it on my GS2 and I couldn't wait until casemate released it.
It would be worth trying it if you get the chance you won't regret it

Sure mate, might buy it later i guess...
Its always good to have choices..

I have a TPU gel S-Line wave case on my Note right now.
I intend to buy the Case Mate Tough, but there are some things I want to ask you about.
How does it feel when you press the power / volume buttons? I mean... do you feel it, or it's like... erm... dang. The feedback, is it good or bad?
Also, how "slippery" is it on the top/bottom edges (where the polycarbonate shell isn't holding it as tight as on the sides)? Bad enough to "slip" off a bit when you take it out of a tight pocket, or even when you drop it...?
---------- Post added at 11:08 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:57 PM ----------
Oh and one more thing (not likely to be the last )... Did you get a screen protector inside the package? The store where I'm about to buy it from claims there is one in the package, although they don't mention whether it's made by Case-Mate (do they actually do screen protectos?) or some other firm, or if it's clear or matte or whatever...

The feeling is really good I loved it. The button feedback is great. I buy tough cases for all my phones as I love how they feel. The buttons are easy to press and the phone stays clean without any dirt getting in between the phone and the case.
With regards to screen protector, no there wasn't one and I am not aware that casmate do do any screen protectors. I usually go for zagg ones as I like them the most.

Thank you for the answer!
Then the store that is selling the case probably includes a crappy screen protector in themselves . Or CaseMate started to add this recently... who knows.
I'll buy it on wednesday. Hope I don't get one that has askew cut-outs and such, haha .

My case arrived just today!
It had a screen protector in the package... which was probably added by the shop, since the package was not sealed anymore and... oh well...
The screen protector was probably good, at least as good as those cheap ones you can get for a dollar a piece, but I f**ked up at installing it. I was planning to go down to a shop and buy a 3M Vikuiti screen protector (the vendor installed it, perfectly), anyway.
-----
The case is... well, it's bulky! It's really good, but installing it is a bit... well, it's hard. I did some drop tests with it, and the buttons were slightly off, also the lip... required some extensive pulling-with-teeth .
I'm dissapointed by the fact that they didn't add a few extra stripes of ABS on the top and bottom.... without those, those two sides are flimsy and easy to get off, you know... Anyway.
Also, the hard shell doesn't perfectly fit over the silicone glove, at least on the top side... but it's good enough.
For this kind of price, I was expecting utmost perfection, but it's good . To be honest, the S-Line wave TPU case I had before felt better in hand - also had better grip. Or perhaps I just need some time to adjust to this new case...
Also, hate how the silicone is a dust magnet.
-----
Anyway, this case is overall good. Definetly protects the phone well .

I used the case-mate tough case back when I had my Galaxy S and loved it! It offered outstanding protection from bumps and knocks so I purchased the case again for my Note. Used it for a few months but have since moved to the Mercury case. What made me change was the difficulty I had taking the phone out of my pockets. The textured surface of the case is nice to hold and feels good but it's too clingy to clothing, magnified by the size of the case's surface area ( probably why I never had the same problem with my Galaxy S). Still use it every now and again though.

The Mercury case seems to be a jelly case?
And it doesn't even cover the buttons...
Oh well. You should have bought the CUBZ S-Line wave TPU case instead, it's more good looking

The Diztronic TPU case now available

Finally. An amazing TPU case without the cheesy back design.

The quality of the plastic is superior. Once I bought one for my Galaxy Nexus I've got one for every phone since then. They are the best TPU brand for phones.
You won't regret it. It's cheap too!

My SII Skyrocket Diztronic case ended up being my favorite of the various cases I tried.
Not at all flashy. Nothing special about it.
It just "works" properly. And doesn't get beat up like cheaper cases do.
And I like that they are finally doing cutouts for BOTH the volume & power unlike on my last case.
I hate anything covering the power or volume buttons. Though some folks do like that.

I've used these cases for 2 years on Captivate, Infuse, Galaxy Nexus and Note. They're grippy, durable and fit perfectly. I just ordered one for my S3. Thanks for the heads-up.

I already have Rock Case, 4 Cruzerlite TPU cases... and a Leather pouch... Do I need/want one more....?

I have a Cruzelite...definitely sub par to the Diztronic cases I've had in the past and I'm sure it will be the same with the new one I have on the way.

cruzerlite is garbage. i sent it in for a refund. the cut outs dont even line up with the ports correctly lol

Sorry for the delay in getting our S III cases up guys, I was out of town and had an employee put them up. Unfortunately she accidentally set the start selling date as July 6th so the pages never went live. I said didn't you realize we weren't getting any orders?! We sent inventory to Amazon on Friday so Prime shipping options should be available either Tuesday or Wednesday.
We did include a screen protector with this release made of Japanese film. When we first started including screen protectors we were using a Korean film, which is slightly better than Chinese but still had some rainbowing and purpling. These Japanese based ones are great, very good clarity. Even though including them almost doubles our costs we've kept our prices the same for the time being. Thanks everyone for your continued support!

The company resides and manufactures in America (Madison, WI, near me!!). The customer service is absolutely OUTSTANDING. You basically end up talking to a real person who is dead set on making sure you're satisfied.
And TPU, in general, is perfect for me. Thin, adds a little grip but doesn't stick in pockets.

cldn't agree more, they are indeed bad. Just ordered Diztronic for my S III . Loved it on my Nexus , was waiting for a week for it to be available in the meanwhile i thought i would try cruzerlite . Apart from the fit, i dint like the looks of it too, esp that i wanted something with a plain back matte finish . Diztronic was the perfect fit . Love it Love it!!!

Actually they are in Madison, but my EVO 4G LTE Diz TPU's specifically stated Manufactured in China.
I put them in a bowl of water and they don't sink so I'd guess they aren't full of lead.
The water did turn green and looked like antifreeze though (just kidding!)

We are in Madison, WI but unfortunately we have our cases made in China for the time being. I'm looking at potentially having them made in Akron, OH but it's not set in stone at this point. If anyone has any contacts with US based factories that can manufacturer TPU cases feel free to contact me. For now we are using the same lingo everyone else uses, "Designed in ___ Manufactured in China". Our screen protectors however are manufactured in Japan. Some of you should be receiving your GS III cases today, I know at least one XDA member received theirs on Saturday as they were in Wisconsin. I'm looking forward to seeing some feedback as my GS III from Sprint hasn't arrived yet!

It doesn't have a cutout for the camera, as in my opinion I'd rather have it covered so it's protected. If someone can show me an example of diminished picture quality because of it I may be swayed to make a cutout for it in the future. As far as going all the way to the edge of the glass, from what I understand it's not possible to do so on the GS III because of the way the glass tapers on the edges, so we made the screen protector in the same way as our One X screen protector. It essentially covers the flat part of the glass. You could probably go all the way to the edge with a wet adhesive based screen protector, but with a static type screen protector they would just peel up.

I don't think that Chinese case is a wise choice for the Active.
I'm just talking out my ass here but I don't think the Active has the ability to do the "S-View" thing because of the display technology.
That TPU looks hot though and I'll probably buy that one

They have the other two colors as well. Hopefully these become a little easier to find.

Why the heck would you put a case on this phone. Wth

Despite the hype and marketing. If you read the description it is not actually shock proof. Therefore, to answer your question, you would put a case on "this" phone for the same reason(s) you would put a case on any phone. hth

Thanks for posting, it's good to know that at least someone has it listed. Even though $38 is more than I wanted to pay for that case.

Thanks for posting. I plan on putting a screen protector on. I don't know how water may effect it, but I doing anything different with this phone than any other phone. I'm mainly getting this for the dust/dirt that sometimes gets on it from my gear. And for the rare possibility of water.

I don't like that particular case at all. I don't think it will sell very well.

i-Blason SoftGel Flexible TPU Case

i ordered the diztronic case from amazon for now. one thing i like about amazon is their return policy; if i don't like it i can return it (of course in good condition).

That looks like a good choice. One thing to possibly note is that this item is shipped by and sold by diztronic so it may have a different policy on returns.

true, but I've purchased from Diztronic via Amazon and returned without issue (so far). :good:

A good point. I was initially considering this: http://www.amazon.com/Silicone-Protector-Accessories-Accessory-InventCase®/dp/B00DCWHKRY/
But, the seller reviews aren't as good as I'd like.

Diztronic was who I got a case for my Galaxy Note, I've used it ever since. It was one of like 5 cases I got for the phone, all the rest sucked.

Skin/Case Review Thread - Post'em up here!

So I just ordered three cases from Amazon, a Spigen, ProCase, and an off-brand one that I've never heard of before. Once they arrive I'll take a bunch of pics and post up my feedback on these to help educate anyone interested in a case or skin! Was thinking about going with one of those Dragon Skins too, look awesome, but I'll probably wait for my cases to come first!
Let's see some of those bad ass Note 8's, and the respective outer-layer for which you chose..!!

I just got this case about a week ago. I was looking for something like an otterbox but didn't want to pay so much for one. This is as good, if not better, than the otterbox. The Encased Rebel I found on Amazon for about $15 after searching and searching for the right case. It's a three piece case. The sides of the case come up higher than most cases to protect the edge glass and it doesn't affect the functionality of the edge apps at all, even with the glass screen protector I have on it. I picked up a 4-pack of cheap "case-friendly" glass screen protectors on ebay and they work fine, even when using the stylus. I really want to try the Whitestone Dome screen protector, but after seeing videos on Youtube about it and case compatibility, I don't think this case would work with it. I like that the hole for the stylus is smaller, offering better drop protecction for that corner while still allowing easy removal of the stylus. The ONLY negative I have found with the case is that the buttons were hard to press at first but after a week of use they are breaking in and getting easier. I will stick with this case. Amazon also sold an option to get a holster with it for a couple bucks more but i didn't get it.

Toast makes a great real wood cover for Note 8.
