You're using it one hand, and squeezing the sides decently tight, the screen just like herks and jerks for some reason, as if there's some sensors near those spots of the phone, and you're messing with frequency patterns or something.
Ex. Use the phone without a case, one hand squeeze the bottom sides of the phone while scrolling up or down on the browser, and tell me how annoying it is to use. Then do the same thing with a case, and tell me how drastically different and smooth it is. Like night and day.
Wtf is the issue with this phone? I'd love to use this phone without a case, but you can't!!!

Nope. Haven't used a case on the phone for 3 years I have had it.

I wish I could do the same, I just can't deal with the slipperiness.

Yes I agree the OEM back cover is very slippery. This is the one I use.

Time to get this case reviewed right?
Honestly, if i had to choose between this and the commuter i would pick this one up. Feels really solid and after a 10 mile hike at zion with some drops , it proved its point.
enjoy

Yeah, u forgot one thing though. The builtin screen protector sucks. I just took mine off yesterday and added a best skin ever screen protector with my defender case and its awesome! Perfect combination.

Did the same thing, best case I've used so far. If only the commuter's buttons weren't so stiff that would be my choice.

Same issues here except my USB cover is still intact. Luckily tho sprint offered me a 1 yr warranty through them so i'm gonna get a new 1 soon.
Do you replace your batteries? How often do you remove your cover?

Same thing happened to mine right after the 2 month mark. I sent an email to otterbox, they requested proof of ownership and in less than a week they sent me a new case at no cost.

That happen to mine, Within in a month mine was real loose, good thing I bought it at a local att store so they replaced it, had the new one for a few months and it's not loose at all. Maybe they had defects on some.

When you say a new case, do you mean holster/case? I was walking and my holster caught something and the clip broke off. The case is also squeaky and the lip of the case is getting loose and is starting to expose the plastic edges.

Cool. I'll fire off an email to them then. I have my zoogue cases and will probably order a UAG, commuter, or ballistic to hold me over.
Are you guys taking the case on and off frequently or just naturally happens?
And by proof, is the original packaging good enough?
Yeah the corners don't have a rail like the sides to snap into. They're sending me a complete otterbox to replace mine. Maybe they have fixed the design.

thank god it wasnt my phone lol... I wonder how a defender would have taken it tho..
We were out on our bikes today and my friend wanted to mount it to his gas tank and used double sided velcrow.. It worked fine at normal speeds, but in the high 100s, that thing flewwwwwwwwww!
If it was realky anywhere near that fast its not that bad, yeah it's f***ed but it's not totally blown apart..

Yeah but that was the shear impact that destroyed it. Defender has it's own screen protector to cover the screen. Nothing more than a thin piece of plastic. I actually feel the commuter has more impact protection cause it has the harder case behind the soft shell thus dispersing the impact over a wider area allowing the soft shell to absorb it. And like I said, I highly doubt anything would have survived that.

the OP said the below: it's not normal driving speeds anywhere in the US, unless on the track, so they were speeding.

I gotta ask...WHY did your friend mount it to his gas tank?
So I've got a pretty scratched up bezel and I imagine the phone would look even better if it was all white. So is there any way to get the entire chrome off without damaging or scratching the under lying plastic?

The bezel is actually the back housing after removing the battery cover and the 11 screws after which u can scratch off the chrome part without damaging yr screen, but u will not like the looks of yr SGN2, cos my buddy did it on his note 1. U will end up with a scratchy plastic bezel:laugh::laugh:.U will be better off buying the OEM part which should cost less than $30 and u ve a brand new looking phone.
Funny how it easily falls off by itself but when u try to remove it it can be a *****

Hi, I was planning to sell my n2 to get the 3,it's in perfect condition with every accessory still in its packaging, however i think i won't get much on it since i have huge smudge on the top left of the screen. I dunno what caused it but I'm thinking it's due to playing tennis game on it a bit. Has anyone else experienced this?
Any solution?

Those are finger marks, you're right that it's caused by games. Notice there's 3 areas affected, where the directional pad is and where I'd assume there's buttons A and B in that game. And that's why I use a screen protector. If you don't then you can get the glass replaced, not recommended as it's not 100% safe.
It's probably the oleo phobic coating rubbed out in those areas. They do sell oleophobic replacement kits online. Try it out.
