[q] i have just ordered an i317. - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note II

Now the phone is on its way, I would like to order a case for it.
I have learned from experience that merely looking at pictures can not tell you much.
Hearing from others who have already tried always helps.
I am looking for preferably 1. thin(since note is already big by iteself), and 2.with good grip(so it doesnt slip off of my hand easily).
Can note 2 owners help me out in buying a case?
Any hands on experiences and recommendations are welcome and appreciated. Thank you

I'm using my note 2 with an original ballistic case, since I bought it, I love it, it keeps my phone safe if I drop it.

Otterbox (Defender) and Ballistic have good drop protection cases, but both add bulk.
Otterbox Commuter - some protection - and Seidio Surface - minimal drop protection - are other good options.
This guy has done a bunch of reviews with pictures - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192333
Ultimately you have to decide what features you want - holster, screen protection, drop protection, size, appearance, cost, and make an informed choice.

I like the Diztronic matte black TPU cases for all my phones. They are thin, add a little grip to the phone, and have a minimalist look that I like. You can get it on amazon for 9.99.

Thanks guys.
Though I really like and prefer slim factor of diztronic case, I now feel that I should also consider about drop protection. I just read about several users ending up dead or bricked note 2s after dropping. Is this related to sudden death syndrome? I wonder if physical impact such as dropping it would cause the note 2 to go bad. Are there any issues that I should be concerned about?

Yes....
Don't drop your phone ...
If you are prone to physical damage of your devices....then you should consider an otter box defender....
I've used 3 of them over the last two years...and would recommend them if any chance of a drop is expected....and even if it's not....g

What do you think about them? Any reviews?
In my opinion, the kickstand on the 2nd case doesn't look very steady...
dont really like the looks of it to be fair , the top is open as is the bottom if you drop your phone the case wont protect the silver trim there so in terms of a case for protection it fails . In terms of a case that looks good i think it fails as well , it looks quite cheap to me .
Everyone is different though and cases are personal so many may think different to what i say
why not grab one and write a review for other users go on take the plunge lol
I really like it! Looks good and doesn't add bulk but still has a stand, been trying to look for something like that. Just need to know if anyone else has it and provide a review in terms of fit and sturdiness...lol

I'm bad at writing reviews
Maybe one of the reviewers from here could request a case for reviewing?

Which one did you buy?
Can you please post a review when you receive it?
I have ordered a black 2 piece case 5 days ago, so it should arrive in about 9 days.
The only reason i want a case is for the kickstand, the rest doesn't matter. Currently I'm using a cheap silicone/tpu case with a kickstand build in from ebay which is ugly and thick, I expect this one to be slimmer and atleast in one color.
I ordered white

I've also been using this protecting case for some while now,
the only adjustment i made was to replace the (in my opinion rubbish screen protector) with a Zagg HD one, it's awesome now, the belt-clip also comes in handy!
thanks
why would someone put this onhis phone? its massive, looks damn ugly, kills the dimensions of the phone and design.
only if u r a mine worker or something like that.
horrible.
good review :good:
That's the exact point. To protect your phone against a rough environment. Not all phone geeks work in an office. Some of us actually do some hard labor

Well that's your opinion, it looks like it's an ok case, I still think the ballistic offers a better level of protection.

Bleh, chubby and ugly case. I can see it protect your phone from a nuclear strike though so that's at least a plus. Any field tests?

It's survived light rain, some mud and grime and paint. LOTS of drops and an accidental throw. It's dropped face down on pavement and been fine. Corners bounce it to safety.

Where can I find matching S3 and Note 10.1 soft silicone cases in black or hot pink?

Just ordered my (white 16GB) Note 10.1 yesterday! It is the refurb bundle deal from Best Buy. Can't wait til it gets here next week!
Anyway, I also have a white S3, and I was wondering if anyone has seen soft/rubbery silicone cases for both items? I've found black on Amazon:
gp/product/B008BVK4D8/ref=ox_sc_act_title_6?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29A0RMW630ULS
gp/product/B009AJN4O6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_7?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A19R3BN6ZSO9A1
But, I'd really like hot pink.
I like this one for the S3:
gp/product/B00896956M/ref=ox_sc_sfl_title_5?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1BKZVPG946QQG
But this is the only one I can find for the Note, and I doubt they'll be the same colour pink (girl problems, I realise!).

Both are by Amzer Silicone Skin Jelly Case http://www.amzer.com/ you could contact them http://www.amzer.com/contact/ and ask them if they are the same exact color. The purple on there web site look to be exactly the same color on both s3 and note 10.1 cases so it may just be a lighting issue when the photos were taken for the pink ones. Call them, they have offices in the USA, UK and INDIA.
Here is a review of the Note 10.1 case http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4rDLgKrG58o

Ordered them both! That was exactly what I was looking for. Found the phone case for pretty cheap on eBay, and it's a US seller too!

I have the amzer case above for my nexus 7. it's quite good but the protection is not the best. got the bobjgear one. much better protection. but I don't recommend it for note because of the big raised ring around bezel. might be in the way drawing or taking notes.amzer case is not so attractive..
I got the amzers. They do match and I like them so far.

No Otterbox in sight

Posted on G+ to Otterbox and this is what they responded.. Why would they not have a case planned for this tablet? So annoying..

Trident is the same way. I love the Aegis case on my S4 and had hoped they'd have one for this tablet. Sadly, no.

It's such a shame. This is a flagship tablet from Samsung. Why not, make it?
Hopefully at least one company makes us a decent ruggedized case for this thing

Agreed. I have a decent leather case now but I would love a more rugged case. Too many exposed parts with my current case.
I would definitely get one if otterbox release a similar one like they released for the original note 10.1.
How are you guys abusing your poor tabs that you need an Otterbox? They add so much bulk.
The only thing I can think of where I'd need one is if I was letting my 4 y.o nephew (AKA BamBam) play with it (think "throw") and there's no way in hell he's coming close to touching my $600 tablet.
Well i dont blame them , samsung tablets/devices , many tablets 10.1 but still not same size , 7.7 7 8 9 etc.
they should do as ipad/iphone , better spec , same size , at least for tablets
how hard it can be !!

Not abuse, just use someplace outside the home/office..
With a defender case on my nexus 7 I can just snap the front cover on and chuck it into my pack full of stuff and not worry about it at all, can't really say that for any lesser level of protection.

Very DISPLEASED with CruzerLite Intelligent Wallet for Nexus 5

http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/nexus-5/bugdroid-circuit-intelligent-wallet-for-nexus-5-red-blue
I used this intelligent wallet LIGHTLY for less than 2 months and I already see wearing and rips and tears on the wallet. I do not recommend it at all. I contacted customer service and I got no replies. It's a nice feature to combine a wallet with the phone but on top of the wallet tearing very easily, the phone gets VERY bulky because not only do you have the case now, you have to add the extra material to make it a wallet and even more space for the cards/cash...
If you keep it in your pocket, please check out the wallet in person before purchasing it like I did. I would never go back to a wallet/case again and especially with this particular one.
This is a great case for people with a purse or people who don't mind carrying around a case that wears very easily. The idea of it is great and I loved it until it wore out very quickly and with tears. This case is not for me at least...
EDIT: I forgot to mention, within 2 months, the case that is hot-glued to the wallet is coming off already. I feel at this point, I should just rip off the case from the wallet that is barely hanging on (can provide pictures) but I want to keep it to see how long it will stay on... from the looks of it, at most 2 months and this wallet/case is done. The case should be salvageable but will have the sticky residue from the wallet being hot glued to the case...

And an other unhappy customer here! Exactly the same problem. Although I don't use the nexus too often and I take care of it a lot. Did you find any other case?

So one point you made was you are mad because they designed a wallet case like a wallet case ? Am I understanding you ? You said its too thick since you have to put money and cards in it. Well isn't that why you bought that case ? Its like me complaining that my Porsche is too fast.

Have to say that, that case looks cheap. Thanks for sharing info about this one. Seems like only good flip cover is going to be the LG official.
