Hi All
So the hunt for a good Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Note begins... similar to this one would be great!!
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...one-back-case-for-i9100-galaxy-s2-black-70754
The minute I find one I'll buy it... I actually prefer getting the case even before I buy the Note.

I'm with you, this phone is too expensive to damage. I've been searching everyday and have yet to find anything. I usually prefer Ballistics' cases but I doubt they will be making one for this phone so it's back to the drawing board. I'm also wondering if zagg will be making a screen protector for this device. Don't know what I can expect with such a massive device. Maybe turn to the manufacturers of the best tablet cases... I'll post here when I find some cases.

I facebooked Both Ballistic and Otterbox and they both say they don't have any plans for a case.
I'd hate to use my Note without a really good case. Maby i'll make one out of wood...

I'm liking the little brown case that just has a front flat that opens up like a book but it's not protective at all lol
Me too but I can't find a link to buy it yet. Expansys has blue and white...... Yuck..

I think the case of expansys is sleek. It's not making the note any thicker.
Hope they got variety of colors though..
samsung flipover
Samsung will come with a flipover, the back of the flipover will replace the original back of the note. So the note will only become a few mm thicker
I'm also looking to get the Samsung flipover cover when it becomes available. The only problem is the side of the Note remains unprotected, I'm thinking getting a gel case and trim off the left hand side so it will fit togther with the flipover cover.
Meanwhile, here is a really nice durable skin that is already available on Amazon I have used the Skinomi on my previous phones and it covers the phone nicely. All the cutouts are aligned and it barely feels like there is anything on it. Btw, the carbon fiber look makes it look really mean and clean. oh another thing, it's lifetime warranty too.

How does the screen protector feel? I know the Skinomi's tablet protector feels rubbery.

The carbon fibre film must just be 3m di-noc carbon fibre, can be had much cheaper on Ebay and you can just custom cut it to any device.

yup....looking for the same but no luck.
The flip cover is not practical IMHO esp when making calls.
I always used to get hard crystal clear cases such as
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Cry..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3f0fa5fde0
for my phones.
But lately ive really liked the TPU gel case with stand, such as:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-TPU...204593?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0db99071
Which is just like the case in the OP really
The stand is surprisingly useful!

Everyone who doesn't need the case right away, wait til piel frama comes out with a imagnum type of case. This case is expensive but it protects your device against any earthquake you throw at it. I have one for my hd2 and getting one for the note cause my hd2 is still like new. You can put in your e-mail and they'll let you know when it's there to buy. Here's the link

If they release a case like this for the Note I think it might be worth a try. The kickstand could be useful.

Guys do you think a leather/cloth Pouch Pull case would be good enough?
E.g: I though I had more posts here. Anw can't post complete link. The below works tho.

i ordered mine last night, should receive it sometime this week!
is the power button cut out so we can use the IR blaster?
Look for pictures - in short yes the IR is fine.
It does not cover the whole phone. Back and sides. Top has a small notch for headphones trimmed out and bottom is open.
Most of these type of cases will always be that way. I think the POETIC case apparently had this issue.
How do you design a case and knowing all the specs and you forget about the IR ?

aaaand... back on topic.
Nice case! I'm still hunting down the perfect case; meanwhile I've just ordered a cheap transparent case for about £3.
I'm tempted by the Nilkin, but the fact that it doesn't protect the top and bottom is a bit off-putting.
Something like the double-dip hard case would be great for me, but I'm just not keen on the colours they used.
I rather like the look of the Urban Armor Gear cases though. I just wish they had it in this colour.

The sides of the Nillkin are the smooth rubbery coating like you would find on the back of some of HTC's older phones (ie S710). The back is textured with a pattern, so it isn't the same feeling as the sides. I would say it's definitely less slippery than the phone naked.
Hellow everyone,
I am really searching to find something good to protect my Htc One but in the same time to not make it double or triple of it;s original size.
I was seeing the Incipio Products Like Feather, Frequency And Carbon Fiber , also the Htc One Original Cases .Plus would be nice to buy these alluminiun cases??? What you would suggest me to buy. By the way along with the case i am planning to buy a screen protector like the Mime Ghost Glass for Htc one.
Your Opinions would be very helpfull.
I bought this case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-FlipBo...qid=1377379829&sr=8-3&keywords=htc+one+poetic
It's slim and looks good. Doesn't provide a crazy amount of protection but it's enough for me to not worry about it in my pocket or setting it down anywhere, and I like the flipbook style. You can also still use a screen protector with it.

funny, on this link, with the phone in the case, it looks like there are cut-outs for the camera (and the noise cancellation mic), but there is on picture of the entire case without the phone in it, and there appears to be no cutouts for the camera. I would imagine that there ARE cutouts for the camera, no?

Yes, there are two cutouts on the back: one for the camera/flash and another for the mic. You're right though, the pics are misleading. I had seen this case in the wild before I bought it so I knew what I was getting. Also for that price you can't really go wrong.

Well i was thinkinh the Incipio Dual Pro with Silicone...
Just tried a skin and bumper combo. Best compromise between protection and looks IMO. Nothing will top an otterbox for protection, but makes phone very bulky and it overheats too easily when using navigation.

this one I got a few weeks back, and it is the best case I could imagine for the One! Protection all around, wrapping over the edgres where the screen is. All buttons covered solid, and these covers help to push the Power/Vol buttoms. I can only say, I am totally happy with this case! A bit pricey, but worth every penny. Gives the One a real trendy look, and is available in different colours- I got the black/black one

I really hope that the n5 one isn't as bad as the lg l7 or RAZR v.
Wayyyy too big for those 2 phone. Could not fit it nicely in my street jeans, only fit properly in my work jeans (yes I'm that guy with like 3 of the same work jeans), only because they are of the carpenter ones and I put the phone where the hammer is suppose to go

There are a currently nice slim cases out there. You should probably stay away from the Ballistic line if you don't want bulk.
Great find! The only thing that would concern me a bit is that the case wraps way farther around the front of the phone than most of the cases out right now. I don't know if these usually come with screen protectors, but I imagine it might be a problem for those using thicker (glass) screen protectors. Both the white and black variants both look awesome though!

My nexus 4 Ballistic didn't ship with any screen protectors. I actually have my Ballistic Nexus 4 case stretched on my Nexus 5. The holes don't line up and it interferes with the volume, but gives me peace of mind until the Nexus 5 case I ordered arrives. From what I've read the glass protectors are not very thick so I image they would fit.
I will definitely buy their Nexus 5 case.

You're probably right. After looking closer at the pictures, it seems like the part on the bottom that wraps over the face is silicone so it should stretch easily enough over a screen protector.

The older the device gets, the less I feel I need protection. Maybe it's because I start itching for a new phone every 6 months or so.

I've seen the outer shell of many Trident cases take damage from drops. Which is arguably good. But I've seen Ballistic take a beating with drops and never show real damage to the case.

Since you mention colors. Ballistic often puts out a vibrant red. Trident on the other hand has frequently released a washed out pink-red, even though it will look nice in their ad pics. I have had nice lime-green cases from Trident. Moral of story is just don't trust Trident's colors, especially the red.

Hi, can anyone please suggest me very good case for my Note 4 that will really protect the phone from heavy drop without any issues? Thank you in advance.
Can't beat otterbox (defender or commuter) for protection, really. It's too bulky for my liking but people swear by them. I prefer the Spigen neo-hybrid.

Is there any other cases as strong as Otterbox Defender but not as bulky as otterbox? I googled about the Otterbox and a lot of people complained about the built-in-screen protector. It puts air gap and dust can go inside easily, causing it to scratch up your actual screen inside.
There are tons of cases out there. I couldn't answer that question. The last otterbox I had was for my galaxy s3. I prefer glass screen protectors so when I had the otterbox I took the plastic screen protector off and used my own glass one. I had to modify the case a tiny bit but it worked well.
I haven't seen the Note 4 otterbox so I'm not sure if the same thing could be done.

I have the Otterbox Commuter. It's great protection but not quite as bulky as the Defender and no built in screen protector. Mine has survived multiple drops.

I have the otterbox symmetry. Its the thinnest otter box ever,plus it a one piece. No one protects better than otter box period. The defender is 100% unnecessary unless you plan on dropping your phone from the roof. The commuter has never allowed a phone to even crack and the new symmetry in my opinion is built much better then the commuter. The corners are protected on the symmetry.
I have both the Spigen Tough Armor and an Otterbox Defender.
The Tough armor goes on when I don't want to carry a bulky case around and when I'm not at work. Otherwise I use my defender when I am at work, both are very good cases but situational for me imo.
As said previously, the Otterbox Defender would be the best case for overall protection. If you can get around the bulk of the case which isn't that big of a deal to me.

For your Otterbox Defender, does the built-in-screen protector leaves gap inside? If you look above, I've stated some issues that other people have faced for it. Thank you.

I'm trusting you on this and might order either Otterbox Commuter or Symmetry.

I was about to say, "what screen protector?" LOL. I forgot that I got rid of the one that comes with the otterbox. Yes I did find that it was annoying and collected way too much dust to my liking.
So took it out, I prefer my own screen protector that I have on the phone's screen itself.
Honestly, if you install one on your phone as I did on mine, I see no use in keeping the cheap plastic one as well that comes on the otterbox itself.

Is it easy to remove? I've seen this youtube video on how to remove the screen protector. He was using some crazy machine to do it. :silly:

Haha, you don't need a "crazy machine" to do it. I just took a pocket knife and carefully peeled up one of the edges, heck you can prob use your own nail or something close enough. Afterwards I just took some rubbing alcohol to get rid of the excess glue that bonds it to the case so it wouldn't stick to my phone.
Actually, heck you can just pop the sucker out by pushing it out from the front part carefully.

lmao thank you for your time, mate.
Oh wow, I just looked at a youtube vid. If this is the one you're talking about:
Lol, you don't need to go to extreme measures like this guy and use a heat gun rofl. Just push on it from the front and it should pop out. As I said, use rubbing alcohol to get rid of the glue.
But yeah, I ordered my Otterbox defender from ebay months ago when it just came out for the note 4. The official site didn't have the color setup I wanted so that's why I went with eBay.
Green is my favorite color, so I got it in hunter green rubber outside, with lime green casing inside.

Just use the incipio case just as good as the otterbox case but slimmer. I dropped my phone off the roof of the house the other day and it was still good to go
