Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Galaxy Note

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.
I wont be sludging up my screen with a screen protector

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!

is the only case i can find at the moment

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 hate any other cases. Screen protector will be fitted of course.

Just found these. I am about to order one right now...

Super Slim Cases

Just stumbled accross this over at Amazon/Play.
Imperial Hard Case Super Slim Black
Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin
http://www.amazon.co.uk/iTALKonline.../ref=sr_1_134?ie=UTF8&qid=1321528707&sr=8-134
http://www.italkonline.co.uk/imperial-hard-case-super-slim-black-samsung-i9100-galaxy-p-18107.html
STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html

Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!

It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!

Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!

Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours

First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.

Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95

Also available on eBay for about £3

Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!

How's the grip with this case?

Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!

Do you have the link to the ebay one?

Do you think the phone would fit in a desktop dock with this case fitted?

Probably.
Really is sllim, Like it says on the ebay link 0.3mm thick.

air cooling case for GN. (pic inside)

Actually, I really dont know how to describe such case.
Since there many holes on the back and might be help for to cool down GN.
So I just call it air cooling case.
There're also other kind of case with holes on ebay and taobao. But they are
too rough and too ugly. Usually cost around 3RMB,but u won't want to put it
on your GN which might scratch ur GN.
I bought this one around 10USD. And the color is green with little bit metal
feeling.
The only disadvantage is: It won't fit with 2000mah battery. So u can only use
1750mah battery with it.

looks nice. could you post a link?

Link please

Very nice looking mesh case and didn't know they made them. If you're worried about heat i would just undervolt the nexus. But this definitely gives it a unique look.

Black one looks great! Might pick one up... Kinda pricey for a generic though.
Seems cheaper from the company: http://www.anymode.com/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=12347476
But I don't read Korean enough/at all to figure out if they ship to Canada or how to checkout.

Anymode cannot be considered generic

Plenty of cheap ones.
These are called "Mesh snap on" cases.
Here's for the GSM Nexus: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=i9250+mesh&_sacat=0
$1.92
There's no "snap on mesh" cases for the Verizon, they're more fully formed so it's not cheap.
$7-$9 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=i515+mesh&_sacat=0&_odkw=i9250+mesh&_osacat=0

Those are the cheap feeling ones the OP described. I was asking for a link to a cheaper site for the Anymode version the OP recommended. Thanks though!

99.9% anti-bacterial
Nice!

this is not going to cool your phone, you are adding another layer of plastic to trap heat. do you cool yourself by wearing a sweater?

The "air cooling" is just a term to describe this case. Just a comparison
between other TPU or silicon case.
Of course no case is the coolest!

Great case! I ended up getting it from eBay since I can't read Korean/Chinese nor trust signing up with credit card info to foreign websites I don't understand. Nice matte finish on the black one here. Feels solid, snug and good in the hand. The wrap-around to the front leaves just enough of a gap between housing and screen that edge-to-edge screen protectors should work nicely. And the design and materials seem excellent for signal, WiFi and NFC (unlike my last case)! Would definitely buy again.
Very, very pleased... now I just need my Fantom tempered glass screen protector:

Those ones don't really count. The pictures show a full case with the snap on mesh that goes over it. So the mesh on those cases is just for looks.

My issue with these mesh cases is that dust collects in the holes REALLY easily. :\

Will review this once I get my hands on it

I have it. Nothing much to review really, it's just your usual generic TPU case.
If you insist on one, a redditor posted this Orzly TPU case review (which I'm almost sure is the same one really, just with a higher price tag):
On a personal note - I quite like it. Fits the device well with ports for everything. Pressing the volume/power button can be a tad harder, but nothing major really. Is quite "grippy"/rough on the back. I also have a tempered glass screen protector (by Orzly) and it seems to cover that up too with almost no buffer left (with less of a "bump"', obviously, between the screen and the top of the case).
In any case, you really can't go wrong with a dollar. You'll surely find something better down the line in a month or so (see the Diztonic case that's coming), but this is good, even if you'll only use it until a better one comes out.

When ordering my device from AliExpress I ordered the TPU case bundled with it, for exactly the reason I mentioned previously - so I have something up until a better case comes along.
I ordered it to the UK, but I'm sure that if you have Amazon or eBay locally you can find a seller that can ship that to quite fast.

I'm planning on getting the Diztronic case as well, don't get it me wrong - it does look great. But again, you can't go wrong with a dollar, I mean, you probably paid more to get to work today than on this case, so even if you served you protection for a couple of hours it's still worth it, time/money-wise.

Thanks for sharing

Looking for Apple Smartcase / Google Pixel Case texture/feel

Hey guys, I like the silicone (not hard plastic) type of feel to the case - any recommendations for something similar to the Apple smartcase/Google Pixel cases? They have a really tight fit, add little bulk, and are _very_ grippy most importantly (to me anyway).
Thanks in advance

have you checked out the ones from nillkin? i ordered them off aliexpress and waiting for it still but i haven't even gotten the phone yet. lolol.
i trust my nillkin cases, they're always great quality and guards my phone well. the v20 ones has the port protectors as well. the other which i used for my OPO comes with the tactile exterior.
search it up on your fav search engine since i don't know if i can post the links around.

I'm really likeing this one, not as bulky as my Ringke case and A LOT grippier too.

Screw that. Where are the live cases like Google had for the 5X/6P and current pixels. And no I don't want one of those NFC stickers with several buttons. I want it built into case and preferably custom like the live case. Can't go wrong with unique and functional.
