creaky back cover? - Sprint Samsung Galaxy Note II

if you find that your back cover has a creak and feels loose and not so snug (like mine did) - you could put single pieces of electric tape along the sides near the battery on the phone itself or even on the batt if you want to - and then a small square piece on the top right corner where its all white (on the phone, not back cover).
dont matter the size really, just need it to make a cushion between the phone and backcover.
the phone just feels SO much more "solid" imo and i hated the creaks!!! theyreGONE now. thought id share. :good::silly:
btw i accidentally posted this in another note 2 variants forum when i really meant to post here.

Mines is creaky too.. I slapped a case on mine so it's been out of sight out of mind lol

I've yet to find a case I like with the right amount of protection and slimness. And I want it to have a kickstand too. Picky I am, I know But that creaking was killing me and I know it has to annoy others as well so I decided to post a simple fix

Lol the creaking killed me as well.. I definitely know what you mean about slimness.. I had a big bulky case and I was like I can't do this lol.. Plus it made my phone hot.. I have a carbon flip case now that keeps my phone slim and protected.. (ghost armor on the Crome pieces)

RE: creaky cover
Haven't noticed any creak on mine. Mines in a case most of the time, but doesn't seem to have a problem when it's not. Just lucky I guess.

Yea a friend of mines doesn't have the creak either. Got me a case today so its cool. Also got the titanium notebook cover style case. Went crazy today making Best Buy match on the prices. got a MHL adapter too..
Creaks are all fine on all my new cases and im glad i finally got one.
I also want to note that the notebook cover flip cover style case actually makes you take off your original back and put on a new back which is really good in this case because it doesn't Creak and it's titanium grey on a white phone. Looks good.

I just got the yellow version of this case. It is nearly identical to the Ballistic case, but the Ballistic is made with a little thicker materials and seems to be a little better quality. Some might actually like this case better though because it adds a little less bulk but still provides a decent amount of protection. The fit seems to be perfect and all the buttons and cutouts are in exactly the right place.
One difference is that hard plastic goes over the power and volume buttons with a hole for the silicone layer to protrude through. I think this might help cut down on accidental button presses, but they are still easy to press. The plastic does not cover the button area on the Ballistic, only silicone.
Overall, it seems to be a great case and I would definitely recommend it. It's probably the best value out there for a rugged type case, and the fact that it's available in multiple colors is a plus too.

1. Making the phone "ugly" is a matter of opinion. Millions of people put cases on their phones either because they like the way they look or because they want to protect it from damage.
2. No case made of rubber or plastic is going to have any noticeable effect on signal strength. Some cases made of metal may have a slight effect, but probably not enough to decrease performance.

Well, this case paid for itself today. I dropped my phone while getting out of my work truck. I drive a commercial truck for work, so this was about an 8 foot drop onto an asphalt parking lot and it just bounced a couple times. This surely would have been a fatal drop without a case, but with this case my phone was completely unharmed. Didn't hurt the case at all either.

And it's look alikes. They're pretty good, but they block the proxy sensors, so your screen stays black during calls. If you have a work around to turn your screen on, then please let me know. LoL!!
If you don't, you'd be stuck on the phone until the other person hangs up, or you take the case off to allow the screen to turn on. It's a pretty cool case except that one major flaw.

No 'real' use' feedback but i notice its flush with the phone so it wont offer that little bit of screen protection you sometimes get. Just a thought.
I have 2. Its not flush.. it sticks up a *slight* bit and my screen doesn't touch when I place it face down on my desk. This case IMHO is the best that's out there. No its not bullet and water proof but its sexy and slim, perfectly fitting and a very high end feel. I have the white and black and both are great.

I bought it when i first ordered my note and have had it on since (as well as bought one for the gal friend). It's freaking awesome, would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Own one as well and very very satisfied with my purchase.
Owned an SGP ultra thin prior and I prefer the Elago over it, due to its better fittment and less flashy look.
so I managed to drop my phone on the sidewalk with this case on. As luck would have it, it fell upright, bottom down first and made contact right at the part where the case ends and the phone begins. Even though the case took a majority of the hit, there is a dent on the phone's frame itself. Not the result I was hoping for.
On the flip side, I have also dropped it face down and there wasn't a scratch on the screen.
Bottom line, if you're looking for all around protection, it may not be your best choice. Maybe getting one of the aluminum bumpers could be the way to go.

The elago slimfit case is a super all around case.. I have had the black one for about a week...
Interested if anyone has managed to put their Note/case into any of the docks available?.. i am particularly interested in either the Samsung vertical dock with audio connector or the triangular potrait/landscape dock..

Are you talking about with the case on? If that's what you mean, then it kind of fits in the vertical dock. It doesn't go down all the way obviously but it recognizes it as being connected, charging, and so on. Only thing I've noticed is that on AOKP it thinks the vertical dock is a horizontal one and wouldn't change for me.

I'm using the samsung one, here's a picture with the case and without the case. You can kind of see how it raises it just a little bit. Not much at all really. As far as removing the case, I start from the top left corner then pop it off of the bottom right. I don't like applying a lot of pressure on the power button.
anyone have the white one? is it grippy or is it slippery? cause the black one is rubber type plastic?

UPDATED W/PIX ROCK texture series Leather Case cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1*

Well I just noticed my case was sitting on my porch. Da! :silly:
After opening it up I am pleasantly pleased.
The case is very slim. Picture 2 iPad smart covers with the tablet sandwiched in between.
The material is nice. Can't really explain what it is accept if you mated the iPad smart cover with some faux leather.
It feels great in my hand and looks good. I really like the slim design.
It is held in nicely with the four corner hooks.. Yes the pen is covered up with oneof the hooks, but the hook easily comes off and you have easy access to the pen.
The other 3 hooks hold the tablet tightly but the pen corner hook is not as tight allowing the access.
Both the typing angle and the up right angle are stable and I don't feel like it will topple over as I pushed on it.
Ports , buttons are all accessible and you can charge while the case is on and closed.
The case has the elastic band on its backside which you pull over the front to hold it closed.
I got the gray color which compliments the tablet nicely. Very professional looking.
I ordered it on the 29th-took 10 days.
Do I recommend it. Yes.
Would I buy it again? Yes.
I will update with pictures later.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/150890083058?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
Yeah, I bought one of these also in grey, but it hasn't arrived. Should come this week.
I like the thinness of the case.
However, I also got a Noreve case, as I think the top of the tablet is better protected.
That was my only critizism of the ROCK. There didn't seem a lot of protection on the side edges and the top of the case for the device.
What's your thoughts on this?

I like the noreve case. But more than double the cost than the rock. Yikes.
It has enough protection for me to feel comfortable throwing it in my bag or brief case. I was looking for something slim at a good price that did not cover the bezzle. I figure there will be alot of cases coming out soon.
Yeah, I don't like to have my bezel covered either.
Looks pretty sweet I'm waiting for mine to get here thanks for the pics :thumbup:

The only reason I try to avoid rubber band cases are because once they snap, your case is useless.
Would the band break? (is it secure?)
I have had this case for a week now and my band still seems secure. I use this case alot in everyday use
without the band so even if the band snapped which i doubt it will- it would still work.
Is it just the pictures or does the dark grey look like a very light grey?

I would say some where in between but more leaning towards the darker. Pix make it look lighter.
I've got the grey one from the local store.It's not a light grey.It's more like a graphite color.
The green one is a light green, kinda like ocean green.
The brown one is also a light brown.
The case is well-maded ,beautiful and thin but I think I will have to sell it because it's difficult to take the pen out.

All I had to do was gently flex the tab outward and it will fix this, than put the tablet back in and the tab will now be easier to open and the tablet is still held securely.

GS3 Flip Case Mod

Hi. So I just bought an SGS3 and have been loving it. I have a nexus 7 and have the poetic flip case on it. Since I liked that case a lot, I wanted something similar for my sgs3. I searched around the internet and couldn't find anything exactly like the peotic flip case for the s3. I ended up getting the elago g5 case on sale from amazon last week after thanksgiving. After using it for a week, I loved the feel and how slim it was but was disappointed that the notification light was covered by the case.
With that in mind, to help distract me while studying for finals, I decided to mod the case a little and thought I would share with everyone what I did in case anyone else wanted to do it as well! I didn't take any pictures during the making of, sorry.
Anyway, what I did was drill a hole in the case where the notification light is covered, enabling me to see the light while the case is closed. I liked this, but the light was kind of sunken in if you will, so it was hard to see it if looking at it from an angle, like if a placed it on my desk in front of me while studying.
So after thinking about it for a while, I went to radio shack and bought a 5mm rounded top led; any color will do as long as the plastic bulb is clear. Once I had the led, I cut off the top of the bulb and fit it into the hole I previously drilled for the notification light. The result was that when the notification light flashes, the whole bulb illuminates so it is really easy to tell when you have a notification!
Since the sgs3 doesn't turn off when the flip case closes, I downloaded the app Smart Cover from the android market. To make it work though, I has to place a small piece of white tape on the inside of the flip case where it covers the proximity and light sensors so that the sensors recognize when flip case closes (this is a known problem with dark colored flip cases).
The resulting product is a flip case similar to the poetic case for the nexus 7 which still allows you to see your notifications! Hope you all enjoy my it.
Wow nice! You are a genius! :good:
You are resourceful and creative.
I never understand why such great features as this are so often overlooked by the design team.
Good work.
Your mod looks really cool and I want to get this flip case and do the same mods.
How's using this case now? Is it starting to separate due to wear and tear. Is it worth $35? What size drill bit did u use to make the hole to fit a 5mm led tip?
Brillant. I just sign up to get the free flip cases samsung are giving. Once it gets here doing it this to it! Which would look better blue bulb or white bulb on orange case?

Hey. Sorry for the delayed response. The case is holding up great. I've compared it to my friend's sgs3 case from Samsung (which he got at roughly the same time as me) and its holding up far better; no fraying of deterioration. The case looks and feels much better in person/hand and I highly recommended it.
As far as the drilling, I actually used a dremel to do it since my tool choice was limited at college. Specifically I used a wood drill bit for the hole and then a gauze like polishing bit at a high speed to essentially burn the edges of the hole, cleaning it up, and making in look a little better. Hope that helps.

Ballistic Every1 Case Pics

First off let me say this, i suck at taking pics and reviewing an item. Had to get that out there lol. Also Sorry only have the gs3 camera at the moment. Will take pics with phone inside when I get a chance. First thing I did was remove the built in screen protector, Looked like the otterbox as far as clarity. Did not like it at all. But that was not an issue, just yanked it out, no biggie. Here are some shots of the every1 case from ballistic. Pretty good case, definitely different. I like it. Let me know what you think.

That case looks solid! And well built. For $30 you can't go wrong in protecting your device. However personally its way too bulky for me. When it comes to cases I try not to take from the original sleak design but saying that I don't work on a building site haha so I can see the desire ability of one of these. Have you got any shots of the case with the phone inside? (Just use a mirror? )

To be honest, it looks solid but feels kinda loose as far as the front face plate goes. Since the phone is held with the "springs" as they call it, the case does NOT touch the phone neither front or back, so has gap for better understanding. But dont get me wrong, its still well built and has a nice concept. Btw its slimmer than the otterbox and ballistic sg maxx just as a bulkiness guideline.
About the pics, ill take some on the weekend when I get back home from work. Looks great on my white gs3. So for now mental images for you all lol.

I just got mine in. I have been waiting for it since I first saw pics of it. I have the outer box defender and hated the bulkiness of the outer. My main problem was the raised edges from the glass. I get its to protect the screen from a face down drop but if you can't touch the edge of the screen easily what's the point. This case has a thinner edge and its slanted to be able to reach all the edges of the screen including the menu and back button.

For me its mostly about drop protection. And this is really not as bulky as otterbox or the toughsuit.

I like it. Only 2 things i dislike is what i mentioned on my prevoius post, the front plate feels "loose" when holding the phone from the edges, but it wont fall apart. Its just the design of the case. Second is the back white glossy part scratches real easily. Im going to send it with a buddy of mine to get a white carbon fiber design and clear coat it, just on the back white section where the kick stand is. Not sure when ill have time to take it tho :-\

Same reason the company I work for uses tough books for laptops...
I have the Griffin survivor which is one of the biggest cases for this phone... the reason - I'm crawling in basements,damp crawspaces,attics, out in any and all weather, up on roofs and ladders. I prefer to protect my expensive phone from being dropped or scratched or get dirty in my line of work.
My phone has taken falls up to 15 feet so far, sat in a shallow puddle of water, gotten muddy, dusty, been in 130 degree Fahrenheit attics and 25 degree Fahrenheit weather.
If I take take to case off still looks brand new. Try that with a slim case or naked phone
Oh and I have a 20 month old little girl .... enough said.
Point of my rambling- every one has a different lifestyle.

Just got mine and am loving it, last case I will ever buy, it adds very little in the bulk department for the protection it offers.

Well... it's better than sticking a bulky phone in a bulky case.
buttons
how are the buttons on this case? are they real stiff like on the otterbox defender and commuter?
