Has anyone got one of the cases Samsung is offering on there site?
Apparently I'm too new to post a URL here, but basically if you go to Samsung's website and look at their accessories for the Vibrant you can see them.
Just wondering if they were worth the hefty price tag. Also would be nice to have one that didn't cover the volume and lock buttons like the gel case that tmo sells does.
Nah I think they are too expensive and besides they are gel and will probably stick in your pocket. I went with a rubberized, plastic cover from ebay..
I bought a gel case from Ebay, it fits perfectly well although it said for Galaxy S. Really good deal considering $6 with free shipping.
I have posted this on t-mobile...I have the tmo one but like the blue galaxy s design on the sammy and was looking for a comparo of the two.

As stated in the object, based on your experience which one would you suggest me for this beautiful phone?
Thank you..
Never used Skinomi but zagg is pretty good, used it on my atrix
Never liked zagg, it turns yellow and grungy. I have had them replace it a few times but it sucks that I need to pay shipping on a warranty.
Ive used neither. I have ordered a skinomi in anticipation of getti g my nexus hopefully in the next couple of weeks.

Oh forgot to mention, i usually order a bunch of el cheapos from hong kong. Premium protectors usually do last longer, but if you find some decent cheap ones it can be more economical. I usually get 5 for $4 shipped from hk, and the skinomi i just ordered was $6 for one. Usually 2 or 3 premium ones are $10-$15. Doing the math and usually changing protectors about every 6 weeks id rather buy 10 from hk and that will last the life of the phone.

I've always been a big fan of ZAGG protectors. I have them on most of my devices. They can be a REAL pain to apply, but once you get the hang of it, it's not so bad. I've never had a problem with them. I did screw up an installation once.. was a bit too aggressive with the squeegee, left a bunch of marks, but they were nice enough to ship me a free replacement
This time, I'm trying Skinomi. Mainly because ZAGG now charges a ridiculous shipping fee for Canada ($17 on a 12$ protector!!). Whereas Skinomi ships for free to Canada.
Anyways whichever you decide, here are some lovely coupon codes
skinomi: get25 (25% off)
zagg: youmobile (cant remember but it was 3$ off my order)
I ordered a Zagg. Also have one on my Vibrant and I'm used to it. Very durable and wipes clean since it does collect smudges easily. Replacement warranty is good, too.
If you're in the states, verizon sells a 3pack of pretty decent screen protectors. I picked mine up at a local store.

never buy accessories from a verizon store. they rip u off.
Waiting for the martin fields screen and camera protector. Should be available shortly after the galaxy nexus gets released in Asia (whenever that may be).
My friend has it on his S2 and I didn't even realize it was on.
Invisishield
Sent from my DROID BIONIC using XDA App on UNL3ASH3D R3BLURR3D V2.3 and will continue to be sent from here until I buy the Galaxy Nexus 32GB
I always use Zagg on all my electronics. JSYK www.zagg.com is running 50% off today and tomorrow site wide and free shipping for orders over $29.99. I got my GN and full body MacBook Air shiel for $34.99 shipped.
I was using Zagg Invisibleshield in my last 2 devides (Nokia E61 and currently the Nexus).
However, I bought the LG Nexus 4 yesterday, and I wanted to buy the Hi-Def Insisible Shield (not available yet to Nexus 4).
Because of that, I will try a different protection and buy the Skinomi for a change (front and back cover).

Tested zagg before. Lasted less than a month. Hate the feel, hate the orange peel, hate the yellowish color. Bought skinomi and everything was better

I bought a zagg screen protector at radioshack last week for $4.50 and it looks really nice on the phone
I really like XO protectors. And If you want more economical packaging and save some money you can get a skin from bestskinsever.com. 2.95 shipping in the US

I will never buy anything other than Skinomi protectors anymore. They are really easy to set properly and the protection is great. I've used them on 3 Android phones, all from different manufacturers and they work amazingly.
Never tried Zagg since I started using Skinomi first.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
I have an extra skinomi screen protector, with the entire package. I can send it to you for free if you just pay for the shipping.
I don't really like the rubber feel that comes with skinomi/zagg protectors, although it offers probably the maximum amount of protection you can get with screen protectors
I can definitely vouch for skinomi. i've had it for my last two phones, and i don't think id get any other brand. one think that i didn't even realize i appreciated about their protectors after buying an alternate brand is that they make the screen look really nice. they don't take away or interfere with the color at all. very appreciated. got another brand of screen protector when i first got my gn, and its like it put a matte finish on my screen.
i do swear that next time, if i can find someone to put my screen protector on, i will pay them to do it. i am terrible at it apparently. i have tried ALL the tricks. steam.... steam... you name it.
there was a tiny tiny speck of dust that made a little bubble on the screen, and my skinomi was on a bit crooked and it kept creating bubbles in the corners where my case overlapped. it drove me insane, so i just took it off.
i go commando now. screen looks awesome BTW.
Hello everyone!
Ebay and the local stores have hardly any accessory for the samsung galaxy note. Even if there are stores that do deal in accessories for this device, I have not heard about them.
I thought this would be a perfect platform to discuss about accessories for the note and help map the stores for people who don't have much idea (like me).
Inviting ideas and opinions, please.

As for me, I have:
- a decent P250 screen protector (not bad for the price) | Glossy | Finger print magnet | they did not have the matte one
- sad and boring looking jelly-case (does the job though). | P250 as well | Some reviewer was taking about some Samsung original (flip top) covers, but it was hardly any info as I could not find where he got it from.
Tomorrow I will check out the zagg invisible shield store at SM Megamall (I guess there is one). And will hit back to the topic with the pricing and quality.

Accesories for Note
I bought a decent screen protector in Greenhills for Php150. First I look around, there were many of them selling the same screen protector but the cheapest I could find of the same brand was Php150. Sorry I forgot the name. Matte and gloss available. Just look and ask around in Theater Mall GH, not in ViraMall GH as it is more expensive there.
Also I was able to find a realook screen protector matte or gloss (take your pick) also somewhere in Theater Mall GH, it comes with 2 screen protector, cleaning cloth, alcohol something (I guess for cleaning) and its around Php600-800. Looks legit. She even gave me a calling card of the GM of the company of realook here in Phil. She tried to sell me only one piece of the shield that is already open for Php600. Good thing I read at the back of the package that it comes with 2 pcs of shields. I got it down as low as 500 and she still agreed to sell it to me. I didn't bite.
She said it will be available soon so I will be back there next time. I think the one she tried to sell me was only a sample.
For casing in GH, just jellys. Try looking in the internet, there are already a lot of cases available and with high quality. They ship in the Philippines. I am just not sure about the feel that is why I am still waiting for legit cases to be available here so I can try it out first before buying.
For the flip cover, if you buy directly from Samsung or from any legit stores, the cover comes with it. At the back of the package, it writes 'Not for sale.'
the note and the accessories for it should've arrived on the same date. its really hard to protect a big phone/tablet from scratches and all.
waiting for otterbox to arrive, its taking too long
I have seen otterbox for iphone, it looks good. I will wait and see if it becomes available here in Phil for the note. I hope it arrives soon. I have been using the free flip cover, its good but it offers no protection for the sides.

Had gone to megamall today... saw the flip cover from samsung at wellcom (guess that's the name of the store). But it was free with a purchase of a new note (P34990). They were not selling it separately though, which was sad.
The samsung mobile store was crowded as hell. Wanted to check out a store unit of the note and compare it to mine (for the screen issues), but I could not (other people checking the unit). Not a single sales person paid attention to what I needed (a flip cover). Was disappointed, but that's howsamsung operates around the world, I guess.
Zagg Invisible shield was also there. The sales people over there were too busy to notice my presence (though I am 6ft tall). Did not get to know if they had something for the note. But I did look at the price (if available). P1000 for the back part. P800 for the screen. And P1500 for the whole unit. Is kinda expensive, but hey, protection comes at a premium.

Yes! There was a store in the Technohub! Any news on the Flip Covers for the device? Any one selling it in loose?
I passed by Zagg in Megamall last Friday with my Galaxy Note. The lady said she didn't have any shields yet for the note... so, i opted for a screen protector which cost me 200 pesos (at BSA International) and a stupid looking blue jelly case.
In ebay, there are some really nice leather cases... especially those that are made in Korea. A bit pricey though... ranging from $35 to $75... shipping not included.

May be that is why they were not paying attention to me! they might have seen me with a note in my hands and thought that they cant help me anyway...
About otter box, Nothing available as yet! this is getting pretty sad... screen issues doubled up with lack of accessories... Just a silly scratch guard and a stupid jelly case over here too!
i bought a capdase copy + gloss protector for just 150php..im still lurkin around for some leather flipcases..
ebay casing nad screen protectors
Hey guys!
I have been checking in ebay philippines with Location filtered to Worldwide.
There are a lot of sellers selling decent casing for galaxy note. There is the Black S line Silicone TPU Skin Case Cover for less than PhP200, also there is the aluminum cover that looks sleek selling for PhP1,500. For screen protectors, I haven't gone back to GH to check on the realook screen protectors but I'm sure by next year they already have that. I was there late November and they already have it opened that's why I didn't buy it.
Also, ebay (filtered worldwide) is selling flip covers but it is really expensive with price at least PhP2,000.
Thanks!
I have only seen matte screen protectors around. They make the white of the screen look sparkly and as such would like a clear protector instead.
To those guys who bought the clear/glossy screen protectors, what store/mall did you buy them from and how much did you guys pay for them?
How is the quality as well? Does it affect the screen that much?
And to those who have bought matte screen protectors, have you had any matte screen protector that did not affect the whiteness of the screen (did not make is sparkly)?
Thanks.

By any chance, do you have any pic of this? I'm interested. Where are you based? Thanks.
Btw, for others asking about the case with NOT FOR SALE tag. I was able to buy one for P800 at Cyberzone SM Cubao. (Yes, I'm that silly. Lol!) Forgot the name of the shop but its just near the escalator, beside Tylex.
Got an original samsung flip case for the note at GH for 800php. This however still leaves the sides unprotected so I had to use a jelly case, only I cut the sides to accommodate the flip part. It doesn't look ugly as it sounds, and does the job until we get invisishield for the Note.

Hey guys! Sorry if I am in the wrong thread, but I think this is where all the Note users in Phil are posting.
Quick question: Were you able to activate your Globe 3g on your Note? Please share the APN settings. I am having trouble connecting to 3g. I am a Globe prepaid user and my sim card is I think 4 to 5 years old.
Many thanks!

It would be nice to know if they show the Google logo. Not to be picky, but I'm proud to buy a Google phone and would like to have the Logo visible like you would see on the iPhone.
Looking at the Nexus S, I have the impression the Galaxy Nexus case will also be a fail.

There's one listed on eBay right now with free shipping. Only one pic though .

Here are a few of mine with an Otterbox Commuter. The fit is perfect. The volume and power buttons are easy to press and line up well. It adds a bit of bulk but i dont mind that.
I got the Zagg screen protector since the otterbox screen protector only covered the screen portion. The zagg is probably temporary since i leave on a holiday soon and it was available in stores. Its not too bad though with less orange peel than previous ones in my opinion but it does still feel rubbery.

Thank you for the pictures; indeed it looks like it is the best option; as an owner of the diztronic, the incipio and the tough case I am looking forward to this one.
So may we ask where did you get the Commuter, since their site still has them as upcoming?
Please tell us where to get it.

I walked into a Bell store in Mississauga, Ontario last friday and picked one up. I was surprised to see that they had it in stock since the Otterbox website itself said that it was coming soon. The bell website says that they are available to order online I think. It feels great and i would highly recommend one.
can you remove the screen protector that's preinstalled with otterbox?
Yup, the screen protector is just a separate dry application protector. It doesn't cover the entire front face since its cut out to only cover the screen portion and not the entire front face like the zagg. I had it on there for a couple of days. It was actually pretty good but when sliding down the notification bar you would always feel the screen protector edge which was annoying. It came off very easily and left no residue when i replaced it with the zagg.
The actual case doesn't have a front protector, i believe the defender cases have those, not the commuter.
Regarding the zagg, it feels less rubbery now after using it for a while and i actually like it. I'm sure that the many options available online might be better and cheaper but i needed one right away and i think they have improved on them a bit.

Where are you located? The Verizon stores in Utah are being assholes about accessories, lying to me when I ask for them.
"we don't have any cases or accessories for that device yet"
Liars.
I'm in Wisconsin. I walked in and said I was looking for nexus accessories. The guy was lime we don't have the phones for sale yet. I said I know, I just want accessories cuz I have one. Once I showed them they were not so impressed cuz I use it with att. The guy said we have them in back, let me see if they ring up. They did so they gave me all kinds of stuff to pick from. Got a dash mount for driving, screen protectors, a tpu case, an otter box defended, and a bad ass incipio double protection.

i had one for an iphone. loved it
I thought I'd share what I found for my most recent phone, a Samsung Galaxy Discover S730M. It's relatively new in Canada and it's budget status means there are no accessories to be found - and likely never will be!
I found a nice tpu case on eBay, by looking for "galaxy ace duos" cases. The fit and finish are really nice, and I plan to order a couple more colors soon.
It was under $10 with free shipping, and the screen protector that comes with it works...though there is a cutout for a face button the ace duos has but this phone does not.
I've tried a couple screen savers from eBay described specifically for the galaxy discover, one vituiki and another 6-pack of thin protectors both from the same supplier in Germany. Both protectors were difficult to install and a very poor fit, with at least 1mm hanging over each edge of the screen.
I finally ordered a 6-pack of screenies from china that look like they will do the job, I'll post results.
Can you post some links to the tpu case and china screen protectors please?
And this works too:
Because the phone seems to be samsung's mock of the iPhone 3G/3GS, if you cut down any screen protectors for it (using a straight cutter, or scissors if your hard core). Ive done it. The speaker hole is a bit low, but it works if you have some old ones you dont need anymore.
Please click thanks if you found this useful.
