this is honestly the BEST case I've ever used. it feels great in the hand and the kickstand is a must have if you Netflix at work. it's sold out on amazon but I was able to find mine on ebay
http://www.amazon.com/Case-mate-Cas..._16?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1324101079&sr=1-16
I had this case on my NS4G, it'll end up warping on the rubber edges, after about 1 month it was already messed up.. but this one can be different.
How thick is it? I have a Seidio Active... About as thick as I'd want to go.

How hard is it?
Is is a soft rubber?
Thanks.
Nice
Good looking case. Has anyone spotted any dark blue ones -- NO TPU cases please.. Thx
Hard plastic on the back, and the rubber is really tough but will give in about a month if you continuously take it off.. the real fit is snug you'll like it
I bought this case from Amazon first part of November and really like it
The kickstand feels a little flimsy which is okay because it's not used all the time, the phone snaps in and stays without problem... the reason I really like this case is because of the placement of the rubber, which is soft and gives the phone grip which is easy to hold in my hand.
Another reason I like this case is because I can put the phone on my dashboard or center console of my 2008 Chevy Silverado 1500 Crew Cab and the phone never moves while driving
I bought the White/Cool Gray one

I've had mine for almost 2 months and haven't it change any colors, are you sure the color change isn't come from something in your environment like blueberry KoolAid? HAHA

What did you get?
Got a white one because #1, it's the only one they had on display and didn't have titanium. #2, I've had grey/black phones before in the past so white is something new.
What about a little titanium white?

Titanium since I noticed, to me, that white attracts more attention. The size alone will attract attention. A white one, IMO, will attract A LOT more attention....
That's just me though.
Got titanium, but in retrospect, wish I would have gotten white....

After years of black phones I went white crazy with the EVO LTE, GS3 and now Note 2. Now that I got white out my system my next phone will be anything but white.
BTW...I also think white phones just look better in black cases, giving them a nice two tone look.

Got titanium. Wanted to try white but I was worried it would look yellowed after a while. I saw a YouTube video of a guy with a white gs3, comparing it with another phone and the white looked like it had a slightly yellowish tint to it.

I settle for white again. As the Titanium is the same finish as the metallic blue of an S3. I feel it makes it look cheap.
I have had the white S3 since launch day and it's whiter than my room mate.
It's glass and the back covers are cheap if it does ever change color. I don't mind paying the $8 for a new battery cover or a aftermarket one. It's been what like 5-6 months now and my battery cover is like new.
An extra $8 every 6 months for a white battery cover is nothing. I'll probably have this phone for 6 months to a year and a half.
The bezel is silver, so you really have to do some damage to ruin the "white".
Thanks for the input guys.
Just curious. I got my SIII on the 29th and haven't bothered with a case yet. My previous phone was an archaic Motorola Razr V3m that I had for 5 years and in that time I only dropped it a couple times on the carpet, and once it hit my closet door track which did put a ding on it. I'm thinking of just forgoing a case.
Only have ghost armor in mine. No hard case.
Dropped quite a few times. Usually just the battery case pops off in the harder falls. One fall left an slight dent that I didn't even notice till later.
Have dropped on sides and front. No screen cracks yet. No scratches...only because of the skin that covers the full body.

Never bother with cases, bulky, ugly and unpractical. Had everything from a Nokia to iPhone 4s. Dropped all at least once when getting out of the car with my good luck none ever broke just a chip lol. However a screen protector is a must for resale value, most people don't care about the back.

I've just recently noticed that they're 3 dark spots behind the glass myself. I only noticed it while I was flashing a ROM and it got stuck on just a black screen but was still illuminated. Wonder what that can be. I haven't dropped this phone that i can recall.
As far as cases go, I normally don't buy them but i do have a TPU case for this phone that i put on every now and then

This was a common issue with the t989(s2) right out of the box it's a defect call T-Mobile and get a free warranty replacement. Probably shouldn't mention the drop although pretty sure that has nothing to do with it as I'm on my second s3 and they have both had dark spots. It took me three tries to get a perfect s2

Yeah I plan on keeping mine for a while at least when my manufactures warranty is coming to an end I'll have a legit reason to get a brand new/refurb phone.
Yea those dark spots were bad on the t989 actually very bad. The gs3 is a long way from that but this is definitely the result of their amoled screen
I'm using a D30 case from T-Mobile but I have never dropped my phone, I rarely leave it out unless it's on the charger when I'm in bed. I don't get how people don't protect their devices in some way.
The glass of this phone seems to cracked too easily, so I bought a case for this phone. This is the first phone I ever feel that need a case. I had the galaxy s and the iphone 4 and both were never in a case.

I bought the GS3 at full price no contract or upgrade, I'm not trying to tell anyone how to take care of their things but if anyone is willing to just throw away 650$ because not having a case on their device is restricting then my hands are willing to catch it lol.

Mine currently does atm, but it didn't start off that way, it was fine when I first got it, but after a number of battery pulls and constantly taking the back off enough times it has changed to being like that. This happened on my S3 as well, but I simply bought a new back cover and problem went away. The new one on my S3 hasn't changed to being like that and I've pulled it off many times as well, might just be a minor manufacturing defect thing (I noticed the tiny clips on the backing that click into our phones are small and sometimes look a little warped from being mass produced), You can order replacement backings, as well as different custom colors off ebay, or just the official OEM ones from Samsung. My carrier's store sells replacement S3 backings so once they get replacement Note II backings in ill just get a new one to stop that from happening, they are cheap so no biggie.
I just ordered a metal back for $6.75 at ebay. Hopefully it will be good . The stock plastic back is way too thin, don't know why Sammy was so cheap on its flagship.

Many people have made the same points I have made in the past. White looked good on the OG Note 1 (which I once had) but it looks lackluster on the Note 2. The titanium gray is absolutely gorgeous! I find myself staring at my phone a lot lol. And when any source of light hits it in a certain way, the brushed aluminum finish pops drastically! The white Note 2 just looks really boring, plasticy, and kind of cheap. That's just my opinion.
Had a white skyrocket and the white Note II and very happy with phone and color.
Once you put a SP and Case you can have any color or metal case color you want.
The white doesn't show scratches and looks like a new phone.
Good luck great phone.

As someone else previously mentioned if you end up putting a case on it then it really doesn't matter. In fact I don't even know what my Note2 looks or feels like without the case on.
But yes I am very happy with my white note2, great looking, and great in general.
I got a white one because when I ordered the Retentions rep told me the grey could be backordered by the time my order was fulfilled. I like the white, havent had a white device yet. I would have MUCH rather gotten black, as the displays on Samsung phones look amazing in a black bezel.
The gray looks way too good
