I picked this up from a buddy who owns a accessory cart. Its a hard clear plastic on the back and a hard rubber around the sides. It covers the phone really nice and doesn't stick to your pocket like gel skins.
Heres some pics of it on the phone.
I haven't got mine yet, but if it's not the same case, it's very similar to this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=772826
Yup thats the case, great case.
Yeah other than the unlock/power button being a little troublesome its a great case. I found that since I normally unlock with my left hand I put the phone left top corner in the joint of my left thumb where it meets my palm and use my middle finger to push the unlock button. I'm not sure how I discovered it, but it seems to work every time after that.
Oh that which I mentioned above and its nearly impossible to cover the speaker hole if your volume is loud like mine is often after using Maps. My wife gives me the evil eye now and then when I turn it on in the morning.
Heres my photos of the phone in case.

When I first got it the power/lock button was not cut out. After about 2 days I cut out the lock button.

Heres the hole I cut. Gonna make it a little bigger and clean it up when I get a chance.
I got this case a couple days ago and I found that putting a small piece of paper the size of the indent for the unlock button makes the unlock/power button much easier to push. Be careful to not put a piece that is too thick because it will constantly be pushing the button and your phone will be constantly restarting. It has been working perfect so far. I will update in a couple of days. Hope this helps,

I cut mine too. I used an Exacto knife and cut from the inside. Other than the fact that it's not tapered, you can't tell that it's not a factory cut.
I like it for the fact that it makes the button easy to press but I also like it because it makes it easier to figure out which end is the top of the phone in the dark.
they need to make this case with the buttons cut out, I had to switch back to my mesh cases

I've had the phone a few hours and already I've noticed the pen "touches" the screen while not actually touching in certain areas...
Like ill just be hovering over parts of the screen such as the L area of the keyboard and it triggers a touch...so when hovering quickly over the screen random things get pressed.
Am i alone or is this a wide spread problem?

I'm not finding the screen calibration option on my Note 2. Any hints as to where it can be found?
supposedly that means your pen is too sensitive? they discuss this in the international thread. under the button? on the s pen supposedly you can turn it one was to lessen sensitivity and the other to increase?
went to the sprint store and tried their display phones... their styluses worked just fine on my phone and my stylus screwed around in their phone... i brought it to their atention and they should be replacing it when they have parts or a new phone come in.
mine is doing it. too. It seems to do it only as I bring the pen near the screen where it justrecognizes it. It'll start registering and unregustering the pen causing a doubke tap that zooms or acts as touches. the gnote 10.1 pen works better with it. its worse on the edges. same on my gn101. edges are wonky.
i had a test with a coworker's gn2. the problem is not as prevalent with his and didn't happen enough to be a problem. mine stutter touches as i come in to the "zone." if i hang out about .5" area i get the stutter. going .25" or closer and it works fine. his pen worked better with mine but still had some stuttering, just not as much. i didn't test my pen on his note. i should do that next.
just tested it and it is the pen. it stutter taps on his. so either i get sprint to replace it or just buy an aftermarket one later.
holy smokes - quick search finds the stylus to be $30! contacting sprint soon.
more testing - seem that my pen is too sensitive for the phone, but it works better than the gn101's pen on the tablet. it allows finer lines with less breaking up when drawing. on the phone, the gn101's works perfectly with not false touches or stuttering. now i wish i could increase the sensitivity on my gn10.1 and decrease it on the gn2.
i called sprint and the only option is to replace the entire phone as they don't have replacement styli.
and now the solution to the problem (very low tech and brutish): slam the thing on a hard surface. not the tip! i just hit it a few times on a stack of paper and it works perfectly now.

I was just coming to ask this. Being a lefty I was confusing myself as to which one it was!
i posted a more detailed post on the galaxy note 10.1 forums yesterday
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1964551
Just sharing my thoughts, but I'm annoyed with the S Pen. The Note doesn't recognize it's being pressed by the S Pen when you hold the pen at an angle so that you can see the screen without your hand and the pen blocking it. This applies to writing or clicking on something. You have to hold the pen almost upright in order for the Note to recognize it. Airview works at any angle.
I don't know if mine was just stiff, but it was like that at first too. After a few days it works at an angle just fine. It only registers a press if you press in the tip of the S-Pen. It will actually register a press if you press in the tip while hovering over the screen. I guess the screen doesn't feel the tip, which makes sense seeing it doesn't work on other phones. Once I figured out the tip had to press in, I had much better success with it. But, as I said, it seems to press in easier and work better after a few days.

That's correct; it works at an angle if you firmly press until the tip sinks. The problem is you have to press hard to get the tip to sink. Hard is relative, but it basically takes more physical effort to write than normal, which takes a lot away from the experience. It makes you annoyed rather than feeling relaxed.

I'm probably writing at a lower angle than you. Anything under, say, 45 degrees and you have to give it a good push to get the tip to sink.

I agree. It works fine for me at any angle, with no more effort than when at 90 degrees to the screen. But, at about 45 degrees I start pressing the screen with the part that isn't the tip.
I did notice it was harder to use at first. How long have you had it? It took a few days of use for mine to loosen up.

It's definitely the tip. The tip has to sink in order for it to work. At vertical 90 degrees, it sinks. At 45 degrees, it sinks. 30 degrees, I really have to give it a push for the tip to sink. Now to think of it, I like to old Note pen better. It has a cushioned feel to it. It doesn't feel and sound like plastic on glass.

A week. Been working the same since day one. And from what I can tell, at 30 degrees, you probably have to push so hard because it contacts with the pen first. At least that's what I notice holding it at that angle when I look closely. Even the circle is on the screen like I'm hovering. Idk, I just know mine works fine for me.

This is my second one that I've had for a week. My first one I got on opening day, which was the same. I don't use the pen much. Air view works for me at any angle also. The problem is when you write and try to click on something.

I read somewhere that you should bang the tip onto a hard surface to soften it up. I DO NOT RECOMMEND THIS ACTION! I have not had a problem with mine at all, however if you feel yours is unresponsive carefully apply pressure to it against a hard surface such as a mirror. NOT YOUR SCREEN.
Good luck
So a few days ago I began to notice that the back of my phone is now creaking, I first heard it when i went to pick my phone up the other morning and it sounded like an old hardwood floor creaking sound, it's progressively gotten worse to where now when i hold my phone during a call if i shift my hand at all the person on the other line can hear it. I was wondering if anyone else had this problem. The creaking seems to be isolated to (if you're staring at the back of the phone) the left half of the phone just below the power button and stops creaking above the phone model number beneath the glass.

So this makes me curious as to what other defects its going to have, but I'm on to a different issue, phone dropped about 2" and the digitizer broke, so when my new screen comes in i will do a walk through tutorial on how to replace it... starting to wish i had gone with the GS3...
Mine is also doing that. Just started to notice it today. Kinda makes my opinion of the build quality a little less. But still love the phone. Minus the messaging bug. LOL.

If I use my shoulder to hold the phone to my ear I get a creaking sound too. That's the only time I've heard it though. I imagine it has to do with the glass back.
Here, too. It's the camera side, right below it, that creaks. Fortunately, it's only noticeable when I deliberately squeeze it.

Hey, so I just noticed that if I flip the phone over and orient it so the camera is on top, then it will creak when I push on the left side. You can also see the casing move in slightly. It's almost as if it's broken somewhere but you can't see any crack.
I thought the people at Best Buy had said the back was glass but it's looking more like cheap plastic at this point. Is it different on AT&T maybe?

The replacement screen was $130 went with 2 day shipping (Digitizer/LCD Assembly). Just the digitizer was only $60 but it's a good thing I went with the whole assembly because when i was trying to pull the glass out of the housing some of the shards came off by themselves, and revealed that LG "fusing" the glass to the lcd is literally glue covering the entire LCD making it damn near impossible to just replace the digitizer and make it look nice.
Also a few warnings to those disassembling their phones:
1) The battery isnt solid, more like cased in an extreemly soft metal so it will dent if not carefully removed (it's glued into the housing)
2) The chrome edge dent's very easily, have a small ding where i got impatient, TAKE YOUR TIME!
3) When removing the back cover don't cross over the volume rocker, power button, or USB port with the spudger. for the top of the back removal gently push the back cover forward dont try to shove your spudger in their, it wont work lol.
I'm going to be doing a full disassembly guide that's a lot easier to follow than the "engrish" version korea put out for us english speaking techs when my new roll of 3m tape comes in. =P
This cracking is caused by a small piece of sticky under the back cover you can either remove the sticky or ad some more this would prevent the cracking...
I posted a service guide here on XDA search my name for it... It will show how you can remove the back cover... just when taking it off remember the back can crack easy and the plastic can ding or dent rather easy and make sure you don't mess up the power button or the volume buttons

No idea what happened. I just slid my s-pen into the body, no problem, but the cap didn't click back out past the o-ring to be flush with the body. It now sits in the body just past the o-ring/seal and will not come out. No idea WTF to do, but this is WAY worse of an issue than people putting the pen in backward on the 5. This wasn't avoidable. Pushing it in further, there's no feedback click and there's not enough force in the spring action to move it back out past the o-ring/seal. Not fun. Kinda pissed.
Any idea on how to coax it back out without scratching or gouging the finish anywhere?
*Update*
Using a thumbtack I very carefully poked the seal all the way around with the side of the point and was able to lightly pry it in a corner to get the end of the pen past the seal. Everything is fine now. Everything still works.
Note to everyone, it takes almost no pressure at all to get the pen seated properly, if you push it in too far (because you have fat fingers and you can't tell how far you're going past your case, like me) it can get stuck on the seal. Lightly press the pen back in and when it clicks, it's seated, stop pushing.
Don't know what o-ring or seal you are referring to. The s-pen chamber is sealed off. I doubt the pen docking hole is sealed itself since you can use the pen underwater anyway. Also, stop pushing when you feel the pen click back into place? Okay, but then you have to push fairly hard to retract the clicky pen top. All of that pressure is trying to push the pen further into the phone first, and since it can't go anywhere, the pen top retracts instead. I'm not following what you're saying at all.
This happened to me too. Had to use the tip of a pin to get the S-Pen button to pop back out again. Not sure why it happened, but there's a big YouTube video on this exact issue with the Note 7. Mine happened ironically after I did a water test in the bathroom sink to test the water resistance of both the phone & the pen. It passed the test - just under a minute under a couple inches of water.
What gives?
Just wanted to say this happened to me too, also after getting it wet. I had to use a razor blade to pry it out l, luckly I didn't scratch anything though.

My bad, I'm talking about the new ridge that blocks the pen from being able to go in backwards. It's got a rubberized finish at that ridge and that is where the click tip got hung up.

By worse of an issue I meant that putting then s-pen in backwards problem with the Note 5 was as simple as not putting the s-pen in backwards... That's a user error situation. If more people start having the same issue as I had with the Note 7, during normal use, that's an absolutely true statement for me to have made. And 3 people have apparently had the same thing happen to them thus-far. Maybe it's not something that will effect everyone. Just sharing my personal experience.
I apologize if it seemed I was aiming at stirring things up, as tone isn't something one can convey well using text. That was not my intent. I just suspected that this might be something we see start popping up a bit in the forum. For $850+ USD it's not something I expected to happen and my initial shock may have weighted my words/tone incorrectly.

The clicky button on top of the S Pen can sometimes get stuck outside of the Note7, too. Take yours out and instead of a quick click to lock it down, click and hold for a few seconds then let go. It will stay down and you'll have to fiddle with it to get it back up. I was able to replicate this a few times yesterday, but it doesn't seem to be doing it now. Hopefully it stays like that.
Wow.
Im sorry to hear all that. I heard of the note 5 people putting there sitck in backwards. I had the ntoe 3 and note 4 edge, never try to put my stick in backwards ever.
But this is just putting it in just a little to good lol...
I do worry that the clicker on the spend will go out it and it will be hard to remove but never thought it would just get stuck from pressing it in to hard.
This is way worse than note 5 reverse spen issue. Anyone in right mind wouldn't push pen in reverse as nib will be facing opposite which fingers should know as reflex when sliding in and to actually get to jam force needs to be applied. Note 7 stuck spen problem is like it happened even when one put it back as one is supposed to put it back. Hope Samsung will release bug fix firmware patch soon

This sucks. I hope it is just yours (sorry, I'm not sorry) and not a wide spread issue. One way to avoid this issue is to click the top of the spen before inserting it into the device. I know you shouldn't have to, but its just a suggestion.

wut? I use it all the time. Its better than your finger for almost anything. I find it more comfortable than my finger, even when swiping.
I haven't had a Note since my N3. Have the capacitive buttons always been responsive to the SPen or is this new? I dont think my N2 or N3 were.
I find it extremely amusing that every year Note users have to have their annual "Stuck Pen" thread.
Also, if you hold the phone with the pen slot facing away from you, and tap the other bottom corner on your hard with sufficient force, the pen will come out. Just so you don't have to dig your pen out.
