I purchased my Galaxy Note around 1.5 months ago and, whilst I have yet to get any scratches or damage done to my device, it will soon be the summer holidays. During the holidays, I'll be quite busy and in all my activities causing damage to my device will be quite easy. Plus, since I don't have any insurance and am in a 24-month long contract, I want my Note well protected. Here is what I was thinking of to get the job done nicely...
http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/samsung/galaxy-note/cruzerlite-androidified-a2-tpu-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-note/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-screen-protector-glas-t-premium-tempered-glass-series.html
Any opinions about these two different accessories? Anyone here using them?
yeah its better to get a scratch gaurd ive heard the pen can scratch the surface in some conditions
Did not use any of those 2 , but I can tell you that I did read about them in a thread on this forum. The spigen seems to be doing great and offers you really that added glass surface. It also seems to work good with the s-pen leaving no marks on it. You can find some reviews on youtube about the spigen. Despite al the benefits I also did read about complaints. The protector can fall off after a couple months use, and loose its sticky ability. On the other hand it is quite expensive , with costs aprox 30/40 us dollars. But it did get me exited about it. So maybe I also going to purchase one in the nearby future!

Three weeks ago, my A100 died. I went to Acer support, called and ended up sending it in for warranty repair. But...
Since the holidays are very busy for me, I needed a replacement immediately. No time to research so I just went out and bought the 4th generation iPad.
Honestly, I love the iPad. Two days ago, my A100 came back with a new main board and it's working just fine again.
Now I'm trying to decide whether to sell the A100 or keep it. The portability is nice, but when I'm home or have room in a briefcase, I'm going to grab the iPad every time.
(Why I prefer the iPad does not enter into this discussion.)
Just wondering what my A100 (great condition, extra charger, Blurex case) might be worth.
If it's not much, I might as well keep it around for those rare times I want something that fits into an oversize pocket.
I'm not a fan of selling things on ebay, although that's a possibility. (I liked ebay a lot back when they took a much smaller cut and catered more to individuals.)
Looking for suggestions about what it's worth, etc. Thanks.

Just by itself with a charger I'd consider 125 about right, with a 32gb sd maybe 150, cases and other accessories would add a little more. I wouldn't pay more then 150 for one in perfect condition by itself. Try craigslist, also.

Meh, $125 would be a stretch

Put mine up on Craig list for $100 for a 2 weeks and no takers. Using it as a portable media streaming device around the house. Was going to give it to the kid but he kept complaining about the touch screen. Picked up a new nook tablet for him. Running cm10 great.

I'd say just keep it if you don't have something in that form factor. Even if its collecting dust for weeks/months, eventually you're going to find a time when it will be useful.

Just to update:
Thanks for the answers. Soon after posting this, my A100 had screen issues where things would just go nuts like an invisible hand kept touching the screen. I called Acer and sent it in again. At least they're pretty good about warranty repair.
They extended my warranty through May, which was good. This time they replaced the touch screen and sent it back pretty quickly. The only real annoyance was having to pay for shipping it to them twice now to have it fixed, but extending the warranty pretty much makes up for that.
Now the A100 works better than it did when new. The new screen is more responsive, working better when the tablet is sitting there rather than in my hand.
Now that I also have an iPad (not the Mini), it does make the battery life on the A100 look even worse by comparison. But otherwise it's a nice, portable unit.
Rather than sell it cheap, it's nice to have around. Because I'm not using it that much, I may still put it on Craigslist and ask a decent price for it, but it will be non-negotiable. I like this thing again.

It won't sell for more then 150 these days, around here they've hit the $100 mark a couple times now. Of course price it as its worth to you, just saying it isn't much on resale value, buggy, bricky and outdated don't do well. I wouldn't spend more then 50 on one that's pristine, but I'm all to familiar with all of its failings. I'd keep it around for a spare, on the charger, lest you suffer the battery brick too lol

Well, I'm no stranger to large phones. I currently have my trusty Dell Streak Mini with me running along with DSC but my contract's coming to an end and I have made the choice on getting the Note II in about a week or two. Seemed right considering I couldn't let go of my 5 inch screen and Best Buy was giving away $50 gift cards left and right allowing to pay $50 less for for the phone. I've been reading up a lot on the phone and have just been wondering what exactly are some of your own personal tips you find handy with the device? I'm a bit of a power user so I like learning neat ways of doing stuff
here's an important tip
quit asking about the phone and just buy it now...you cant imagine how much better it is than any other phone out right now..

Believe me, I'd do it in a heartbeat but my contract doesn't end until the end of next week
if you go to the att store, or even best buy, they will let you get it now...I guarantee they don't care you are a couple of weeks away from the end...
If you go to an AT&T store they will let you upgrade up to 14 days in advance. At least that's what they've told me.

Best tip ever:flash the latest clean rom ACE 4.5 when you get it
Att stores don't do price match and their prices are usually higher than best buy or anyone else. In other words, buy your phone at best buy or some place other than att stores.

That's not true, Att is a lot cheaper then best buy if your buying out right. Now on contract it just depends on who has a better deal for a two year agreement.

Well after you purchase the phone this "GALAXY Note II User's Digest" on the play store has some good tips.
ALso there are a number of youtube videos showing tips.
Put it in a case. This phone can be pretty fragile.
Use the volume increase mod, or the latest Perseus kernel to gain access to audio tweaks. The headphone jack by default is a bit quieter than other phones (well, it's quiet for me anyway).

I'll be getting it from best buy. I get paid at the end of this week so I'll buy it over the weekend. Best Buy was also where I got my Streak and they were handing out $50 gift cards at the beginning of the month which can be used towards the phone making the final cost $150 before taxes.

I was thinking about getting a case too. Everyone I've talked to says otterboxes are pretty great at protecting phones. I've personally never needed one but I'll be looking into the otterbox commuter.
Personally, I use a Belkin folio case, but I just ordered a Spigen Hardbook. I enjoy the flip-style cases, but everyone has a preference. I think the flip-style cases add a bit of class to the phone. I would love a full leather folio of some sort, but genuine leather is a bit expensive :/
Oh, and my screen scratched. I recommend the iSmooth screen protectors. You literally forget that they're even on there. I'm not impressed with the 'gorilla glass' on this phone. Seriously, not a single one of my other phones scratched before and this is the first time I've ever used a screen protector. It literally scratched in my pocket (nothing else was in the pocket, must've been a grain of sand or something).
The otterbox is great, but it's BULKY. I can't comment on the commuter, but you definitely don't want to add much more bulk to an already large phone. To each his own though, if you can live with a little more baggage, go for it
Hi folks. I have sold my Galaxy s2 more from an eager impulse to upgrade, and I have been rolling without a phone now because I couldn't simply decide which to get. At some point I even regret I have sold the s2 which was perfectly fine. But now since I did it I said at least to make a substantial upgrade. I have a micro sim with unlimited data until next year in may so I won't upgrade until then, even more, I would like to keep it longer than that.
I narrowed my choices to
S3 (used grade B - 260£),
Nexus 4 (new with 1 year warranty - 288£)
and Note 2 (used grade C - 305£, or 320£ grade B)
the used phones come with 60 days warranty only, no box or other accesories except USB cable (basically phones from recycling websites, so in good condition)
I think I took out s3 out of the list now..because for 20£ more you can get new N4
so it's between n4 and n2
I don't mind about the storage but it is a + obviously
I like to have good battery (when travelling or using google maps I don't want to get in trouble, though there are those mobile chargers available)
I used the n2 in the shop and I could control 85% of the touchscreen with one hand.
I like being able to read kindle, kobo ebooks on the phone, and having a swiss knife like n2 is
I like music and podcasts.
I am worried about N4: back of glass, god knows how many times I dropped s2 or bumped it., although I think aftermarket backcover will be available or could stick a dbrand skin
battery,
battery: from what I've red it looks like it's average, although pretty sure it's better than my used s2
Worried about N2
only 60 days warranty
price is higher, even if used condition (grade C might have scratches and scuffs but I heard very good reviews and it generally goes one class better)
worried about size, is it more fragile because the size? can I use it while running listening to music?
It really is a though call...but I need a phone, thought to rebuy a s2 or a htc one s/x (used of course) but considering I will be using this for more than a year with full blown unlimited internet, I might as well make a significant upgrade...
Which one should I get?
I was luck to use a Galaxy Nexus 4 and then move on to the SGN II
The Note is great doesn't take long to get used to the size.
Downside to the Nexus as I see it... Not as much support/custom roms etc
The Nexus is limited IMO - no external storage, no removable battery. 16GB fills up really quickly and streaming isn't always an option (think big games and satnav)
So other than the obvious tech spec differences for me the Note was the way forward.

thanks for your input
What most worries me is the warranty. Although I did not have any problem with s2 that would require RMA or servicing, is the N2 a sturdy device that doesn't develop faults along the way?

Choose Samsung Galaxy Note 2 because it has:
1. Great battery
2. Large/Amazing screen (reading books through Kindle or Kobo is just fantastic )
3. Removable battery
4. Micro SD slot
5. Project Butter (everything goes very smooth, no lag)
Plus, s-pen, good camera.

I've had 2 note 2's and haven't had a single issue in the months since owning.
I own both a note 2 & a nexus 4, I much prefer the note 2 and use it 95% of the time. It is a brilliant all rounder & don't think any other phone on the market presently beats it for looks or overall performance, IMO.
Get the note 2 you won't regret it at all

I will copy paste here...They are from recycle companies that buy mobiles, it is a bit risky but considering the phone has been on the market for only 4 months a grade c might be in reality grade b. There is also free returns 7 days policy.
What does Grade A mean?
• The phone is used but in excellent condition.
• Cosmetically the phone will show no signs of use, there will be no scratches,
cracks or scuffs to the screen or casing.
• It’s been fully tested*, is in full working order and has been restored to the latest operating system.
What does Grade B mean?
• The phone is used and in good condition.
• Cosmetically the phone will show signs of slight use, including two or three minor scratches to the screen and casing. It wont have cracks on the screen or casing.
• It’s been fully tested*, is in full working order and has been restored to the latest operating system.
What does Grade C mean?
• The phone is used and in average condition.
• Cosmetically the phone will show signs of use, including some scratches and
scuffs to the screen and casing. It wont have cracks on the screen or casing.
• It’s been fully tested*, is in full working order and has been restored to the latest operating system.
Ah in that case I'd settle for the Nexus 4 if i were you., the Note 2 is a great device with much more functionality but reality is there is nothing like getting a phone right out of the box Atleast in my case and that alone would be my deciding factor besides the fact that it uses pure android which Is a plus for me too.
I've had a lot of bad experiences with used phones in the past and since then I've always opted for brand new. However, if you do decide to get the Note2 then I can add that incase the housing is pretty bad, since you've mentioned it's a grade c, then you can easily replace the housing for as cheap as 10bucks from www.cnn.cn. Their products are of high quality standard and very cheap.

Tough one really. It keeps bouncing in my head on and off... I know I can't buy anything better than these with 300£, it is basically a real upgrade mid contract with just a small cost. I also want to use it for more than one year this time.

Hi
You should take a look at Panamoz.com.
They specialise in camera lenses but offer really good prices on phones which are imported from Honk Kong and with 1 year warranty. You can get a new LTE S3 for just a bit more than a Nexus, etc.
I know people who have used the site and they all recommend it.
Okay disregard that.
It seems to have jumped up over £200!
Must have been a long discount they had over the holiday period when I last checked.
Note 2:
+/-big screen
+more storage
+bigger battery (but also higher energy consumption through display)
+SPEN extremly useful in combination with FreeNote at University | AND try out Swype, swiping is perfect for SPEN
Nexus 4:
+newest firmware
+feels noble/high quality (unibody and glass front + back)
+more custom ROMs
-storage
I would prefer the NII mainly beacause of the big screen with AMOLED technology. I tested both devices and felt in love with the NII.

THE Note 2 came yesterday. Unfortunately it is mint on the case, but has 3 scratched, visible with the screen off, visible on white background, one 1 inch long, and 2 small, and then there are 4 more small scratches, the ones that I don't mind....quite a good condition for a grade C, I would say others would sell this as very good condition.
I think I will try to exchange it with a C or chuck 15£ more for a B; Or shouldn't I? If i put a screen protector will it make me forget about those? Does a scratched screen weaken the gorilla glass 2?
Bad about it is that the back panel creacks and flexes making sounds.
Oh..and the titanium color is beautiful.
It is true how everybody said, at first I was shocked about the size of it, and felt intimadet a bit. I am quite tall, 6.3. my hands are regular size but I have very thin fingers, but after one day I am sold, I was ready to run for a s3 or n4 because of the size, but now it doesn't feel like that anymore. The money are well spent I think, could keep this for 2 years no doubt, only badpart is I need to buy an mp3 player for running.
Battery is a WOW factor, 20h 22m on battery (8 hours from the night losing 1%/hour) screen time 4h 39m and still got 29% left. A 1hour movie episode on bbc iplayer (wifi stream) took 9% of the battery!

Yea just get a good quality anti glare screen protector and it should hide the scratches well. I hope.you get to enjoy it the way it's meant to be.

hmm I don't see the competition here.
The ONLY reason you would choose N4 over Note 2 is you can't handle the screen size.
Like you want one hand operation at all time or you put your phone in your pants pocket but your pants are all has incredibly small pockets.
This is the only reason I can think of people would choose N4 over Note 2.
Other than this, I think Note 2 superior to N4 on every aspect.

Thanks, it was more about the budget. But as you can see, even a used note 2 is dearer than n4.

......and the price
First things first i'm glad to say that i'm a new Note 4 owner and god it feels good to be back (came from a iPhone 6+ and a G3 before that). So today i went to a local AT&T corporate store wanting to get the black Note 4 on the AT&T next plan. To my dismay they only had the white ones in stock and after having two white phones i wanted something else. I got the phone and i knew it was love at first sight. About 30 minutes after leaving the store i noticed at the very bottom of the screen there was a gap that stuck out like a sore thumb (bottom left). Being an expensive device i was unhappy so i decided to take it back to see if they could exchange it.
Long story short they acknowledged that there was a gap however they said that "all of their batches" had this problem and when i asked if they could bring one out to show me they quickly denied my request and told me to try a different store and that if i wanted to return it i could, but would be charged a $35.00 restocking fee I left the store infuriated and called AT&T directly and told them what was on my mind. Luckily the representative was VERY understanding and very nice her manager was also standing behind her and also agreed it was outrageous that they tried to charge me a restocking fee considering i just bought the phone less than an hour ago and that they would credit me $35.00 to my account in case i got charged.
I went to a second AT&T store and they weren't helpful either but at least they brought out two other devices showing me that there were gaps (not noticeable like mine though) the AT&T representative stayed on the phone the whole time listening to my conversation with the store manager and representative. She was nice enough to let the store know that her and her manager were standing by my side and that they wanted me to be happy with my purchase. At that point i decided that i wanted a black Note 4 considering it hides everything better. Unfortunately they didn't have any and i was referred to a 3rd store. Luckily that store had 1 left and the guy who helped me understood and saw the gap and exchanged it out for me within seconds!
Happy to hear you eventually got everything sorted. It's unfortunate that AT&T stores vary so much from each other, let alone have different decisions from the "big guys" over the phone. Has a similar issue with my Note 3. I simply believe they choose to go this route with deflecting problems and telling you you have to pay a fee because they know people will fall for it. Glad you got it worked out, and the exact phone you wanted!! The black looks much better in person to me anyways.
I hadn't noticed the gap at the bottom on my white Note until reading your post lol. Still doesn't bother me but glad you got yours resolved. I was considering getting rid of the white at first because the back was noticeably more slippery than that in the black. I almost wonder if it was worse than the Note 3's difference in texture. But then I had the bright idea to see what it looks like with the grayish flip cover and man there's something gorgeous about the white contrast in between the grey covers. Either way, awesome devices.

i dont have any gaps on mine. I guess i'm lucky? When I got the phone, i looked at the gaps and actually said to myself "this is what people were complaining about"?

i dont have a pic because my device is fine (there might be pics online) but basically, the gap between the screen and the frame around the edge was large for some people to handle.

Now that you mention it, I kind of see it but nothing that warrants a replacement. thanks
Sorry to hear about your bad experience.
I just had a great experience at the AT&T store.
The sales consultant who helped me was courteous and knowledgeable.
Just happy that I was able to pick one Note 4 unit up today after being disappointed yesterday at the BestBuy as my preorder unit wasn't available. I also got $100 credit for turning an old iPhone 4 in for a trade up deal.
What a great phone!
This entire thread is stupid because there is no such thing as a "gapgate" issue. (1) YES, there is a slight, minuscule gap found on ALL Samsung Note devices. (2) This is BY DESIGN and intended. (3) ALL Note's have featured this purposefully-made gap, since the Note 2, and it is detailed in the OWNER'S MANUAL of the Note 2, Note 3, and now Note 4. (4) No one paid the gap any attention since it's barely noticeable, until the CrApple bendgate scandal came into play. Magically, CrApple aficionados tried to find something to fault Samsung/the Note on, and somewhere they found that tiny gap. (5) The gap is NEEDED so that when the phone heats up and the glass naturally expands, it can do so without any harm. Without the gap, the glass will expand and CRACK. Also, the gap is needed to prevent damage when the phone is dropped. If the glass was welded to the side of the phone (almost impossible) the glass will almost certainly shatter when you drop it. Samsung has stated in the manual, that the gap can be more noticeable on certain side of the phone (varies by device), and on some phones it's not even noticeable. Enjoy your phones and stop obsessing over something so asinine and trivial.

there are no gaps on mine either. not sure what these guys are seeing.
This for the most part is hogwash! If everyone stops to read the manual it actually points out that this is by design. Case closed!
