So I browsing at work today and surprised to find OEM TPU cases in stock at daydeal... ordered at work and hope for an early arrival.
will do a photo review when it arrives.
I got it in the mail today, and as promised, picture review.
I ordered the white one, 70H00391-01M, seeing that all the other colors are a bit too "colorful" (DayDeal or HTC America Accessories Store). It came in a plastic clamshell, and now onto the actual product.
Texture: Glossy Smooth... clean edges/seams... way better than some of the eBay TPU...
Fit: Tight fit, very EXACT. not going to slide around inside, not going to pop out.
Color: It's white, almost too white. Will be getting a black/smoked/clear if I see one.
I actually think this is one of the best manufactured TPU case I have seen so far. Clean seams and edges, exact dimensions. Plus, with the case, it is now A LOT easier to find that power button.
PRO: Makes the phone feels way more solid, amazing fit and finish, cutout placements actually make the buttons easier to find.
CON: White doesn't really match with this phone, no alternative color fit for professional usage. Will be getting black/clear/smoked if found.

Thanks for reading!!
holy shiz thats nice.
Awesome, will probably getting the black one.
I want a blue one
sent from my droid incredible 2
as I said before, I would be super interested if I find one with better color. One day, I was on HTC UK and saw that they have a smoked color one for IncS. Upon checking the P/N, it turns out that IncS and Inc2 cases share the same number, except for the suffix, which is usually designated for different colors. I decided to jump the gun and ordered one from expandsys. will post review when it arrives.
UPDATE on the white case: it was ruined after being in my jeans for a couple of times... the dye on my jeans killed it!!! never getting another white thing that would seem susceptible to dark colors
The white case makes it look like the perfect smartphone for a storm trooper.
Your pictures inspired me to grab the white OEM case. All of your notes are valid. It is truly a perfect fit, feels great in the hand (not too grippy, not too slick), and is VERY white. I do notice your jean dye comment, however since I rarely wear jeans this will not be a problem for me.
I also ordered the Incipio Feather case in Black. Overall impression is good. It fits great and matches the black on the Inc2 perfectly. It also comes with a screen protector included (which goes on perfectly if the screen is dustfree). The only reason I'm not recommending it is because not only does it not protect the top or bottom, it also does not do anything to protect the front surface. No lip at all.
And finally my first case for the Inc2 was the Seidio Surface case. It is a solid case and will serve many people very well, however I found it slightly too bulky. It made the power buttom sufficiently harder to press (HTC TPU case is more rounded near the power, allowing easier access).
So in the end I decided to keep the HTC TPU case with the Incipio Screen Protector. It provides full protection of the phone and will hopefully serve me well for the next year or so.
Here's some pics for the curious, which bear remarkable resemblance to OPs pics. ^^

How easy is this case to clean off? I really love the way it looks but I don't want to be ruined the first time I wear a pair of jeans.

Ahh.... sorry about that... been busy with work. I promise to post new pictures tonight. My apologies.
UPDATED: Sorry it took so long... busy with life and work, working towards a promotion at the moment
I just placed an order today for the HTC OEM Hard Shell for Inc S/2.... will update when it comes in 1 week later
Thanks for the pictures and no worries about the delay. We all understand how life is.
In trying to figure out what accessories to grab. How do you like the smokeone? Looks pretty good. Looks like it blends pretty good.
I like tthe white one but I frequently wear dark denim bluejeans .. so probably not the best idea lol.

Also if you can get a chance to post the link to the smoke case. That would be appreciated. Thanks.

So here's my take on the smoked version:
It's the exact same sizing as the white one, it is good as ever when it comes to fitment. As far as the color goes, the smoked IMO is the best it could offer without looking too stuck out. Black would be too solid if slapped onto the phone, looking like a huge piece of black plastic. I think this smoked option is the best so far if TPU is what you are looking for.
As for myself, I am not too sure on TPU since I feel like it took away some of the phone's sexiness. Hence I am ordering the new hard shell to review next, **without knowing what exactly I am order, no pictures of the product were provided** should come in next week hopefully.

I just got my white tpu case in the mail, and it's great. It fits more snug than any other cases for this price, and I can lay the phone facedown without worrying about scratching the screen.

Mercury hard Jel case is the best one I can find
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Moved to Accessories​
There is a section devoted to accessories.​
I use it, too. But I got two of them: one was defective. So, so far they're not my favorite as it seems QC wasn't an issue with them. The one thing I don't really like about the Mercury cases is that they have specs of glitter in them. They're uber shiny in the light.
I got this really cheapo transparent one off ebay, fantastic. It has a little red sticker on the bottom back. Love it!
I want to get a case for this phone but I'm not feeling the black and blue look that seems to be the option I've seen. Since I doubt we'll see a case that can match the color blue I was wondering if anyone has spotted a transparent one.

If you're looking for a clear case, you really have 2 options:
- Plastic
- TPU
The plastic options out there are endless. As you already saw on ebay, there are a plethora of manufacturers who crank these out that you can get for dirt cheap. In my experience though, as with anything in life, you get what you pay for. They usually add a good deal of bulk and scratch pretty easily. Also, consider these "single use". Drop them once and they're pretty much done
TPU cases are a great option. You can usually get these for pretty cheap as well and add less bulk than plastic. But I usually find that the "clear" options are more semi-transparent rather than completely see-through and have a frosted look. If you have the white GSIII, it'll look perfect but i imagine that it won't look so great on the pebble blue (which is what i have). Another downside of "clear" TPU is that they pick up dyes from fabrics very easily. If you wear jeans everyday like I do, after about a month or so you'll see the case slowly start to stain blue.
For my new GSIII, I decided to give this badboy a shot:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0082P8K6G/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
A little pricey for a plastic shell but it seemed to minimize bulk and will look good with the pebble blue version
I feel dumb now. I guess when I had done the search for cases I put specifically for the t999 and forgot they were all compatible with each other.the only ones that kept popping up were black ones. Thank you for the help guys. Just ordered ones of the tpu cases

I had that exact same case for my GSII.
I loved the textured side grips and the unique S wave in the back. My only small gripe was that it was a little bulkier than other TPU chases I've had. Overall, I'm sure you'll be happy

i have one in orange. if you like TPU cases that don't cover up the buttons, then it's most certainly for you. the fit is excellent. feels good in hand and the device feels solid with it on. i'd take some pictures but i won't have a camera on me until a little later. the only reason i'm still in the market is because i'm now looking for something that does cover up the buttons. the power button being a little loose only bothers me because i mess with it.

The pics on Amazon of the Cruzerlite cases are actually pretty accurate. I bought 3 of the "Androidified" model last week in anticipation of my new S3 (there was a 3-for-$20 sale at Amazon, and I knew I wanted some variety for mix and match).
So far, I like the teal one I put on my blue S3, it fits well, looks sharp and is grippy enough for something made of urethane.
I'd buy em again, or at least get one, and then cruise the bargain bin for color variety.
I bought three cases from them...I particularly liked the one smoked version for the white. I also bought two with Andy on the back (Translucent Orange and Clear). I have not used those as much bcs I felt the android on the back of the cover made the phone a little slippery.
Overall, the are good solid TPU cases. I will certainly consider for my next purchase.
Thanks for the responses, I'm wondering if the clear one turns yellowish like it did on my friends one S

I thought i'd ask the AT&T folks, the international forum is too large and impersonal.
Im looking at this one for myself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...841&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&sd=140855149689&
I got that one in white. Waiting on the Marble White version to be available for AT&T.
The ONE thing nice about not having the phone in hands yet is it has given me time to get some goodies on order with cheap shipping. I have four cases headed my way (yes idle hands). As you will see from my selections, I like cases that are TPU or similar for absorbing shock. I don't like very bulky cases.

Then the Flexshield cases. I think one of these will be my everyday case. I couldn't decide between transparent or black so I ordered both. They come from mobilefun.com in the UK and since I had so much time to wait (November 9th or so) I used the cheap $5 shipping and it should be here by then.

Still haven't decided if I am getting the Note yet, I have SGS3 and its great, with a nice strong seido case (extended battery active) it isn't too big. I feel like having a big case on the note will be too much. I'm in the army and the SGS3 barely fits in my ankle pockets now, Only option for the Note would be in my cargo pockets and it might break in there...
i am looking into the Nilikin case atleast until there is an otterbox commuter for the note 2
Case I ordered
This is the case I ordered from Korea.
1) some sort of a metallic material bumper case (black)
2) some sort of a metallic material battery cover (black)
and its going to be going on the Titanium Grey colored version of the note 2
by the way the second picture is the metal battery cover by itself.
I got this clear hard shell case at Amazon for $10.99.
Trident. Just have to baby it for a month or so. :good:
Ive got the Nilikin cases in white and black. Not a fan of the texture. But it was the only thing available that was decent at the time. Im waiting for the Elago slim cases to come out which i have on my original Note.
I just ordered this case of ebay, not bad for the price and it looks half decent. I will post pictures once i get it and the phone(still waiting for rogers to ship)
edit: search the popular bidding sight for " Samsung Galaxy Note2 II N7100 2in1 Black TPU Metallic Red Hybrid Case+Screen"
hey guys i got a quick question im currently married to my skyrocket...but im leaving her for this beautful note 2. something i came across that was rather annoying with the skyrocket when it came to cases is that the phone style changed based on the carriers. e.g the speaker orientation on the sgs2 hercules vs the sgs2 skyrocket where different. even tho they are the same phone specs wise. is this the same here since all the cases linked here are for the n7100 and our phones are the n7137m and n7147m or something to that effect thanks for your replies in advance
The note 2 as far as dimensions go are the same across all models. So all cases will work

i also bought the ZAGG body shield
Boxwave case with the integrated stand. I have the black one on my current Note and it works great. The stand isn't super strong (can't expect it to be on a slim plastic case) but it's built well and holds the phone well also.
The case isn't available yet so keeping an eye out.
