Is this the same kind of tpu as the $3 tpu on ebay?

I'm a fan of tpu cases, like the Amzer Argyle ones.
They work so much better than silicone.
I'm waiting for the ones from Speck

Yes, it is. I purchase from Amazon, since I got burned by an ebay seller before.

Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Case Made By Samsung So Expensive?

Hey Guys,
So I've been searching around the web for a case for my Samsung Galaxy Note II and I came across the one made by Samsung. It seems to me that it's one of those style over functionality products. It's nearly $30-$40 and I'm trying to justify if it makes sense buying it.
Let me know what you guys think!

I was hoping there will be a smart case, whereby each time you flip open the case, the screen will be turned on.

Yeah its kind of like the iPad smart cover... However, less dangerous and more practical...
I found a 50% off accessory coupon code RE167858P. Treated myself to a Note II Case and a 9000MAH Battery Pack!!! $49.99 for a battery backup was a steal!!!
:highfive: :victory: :highfive:

Official accessories almost always very expensive. Companies have very high margins on them, because that's where people will look first to buy. So I would suggest to search for some alternatives from 3rd party companies.

Trident Aegis Case for Note 2

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.

U.S. Availability?

Well as the title says, why (outside of ebay) is this not available? I really want one and am debating on dropping the money on it soon (metal band version) but I just wanted to be sure since you guys have it, if I should since this seems to be a device being supported outside of the U.S. Will I still get the updates and will I have everything I need in order for it to work out of the box?
P.S. The metal is hovering around 250, not bad in my opinion, but the regular ones have dropped in price in the past week. I mainly looking at it as a smartwatch only since I have a fitbit for health stuff, so would you guy spend the extra for the metal as well? and before you say get the cheaper option then buy a band, the bands are also not available in the U.S. for sale, but when I changed to the U.K. store on the sony website, they have the option.

The black one is available on Amazon, being sold by Amazon (not one of the 3rd party sellers).

My error. Yes they have always had the watch. I thought we were talking about the band by itself

well at least I know there's a backup, I prefer the metal band version though as it carriers an ip68 rating and since it looks like I won't be finding a metal band for sale in the us anytime soon

They all have the ip68 rating.

Then I stand corrected, but most of the sites list only the metal band as 68

Safe Covers

I've used an original Samsung keyboard cover so far but I'd like to switch to a cover whose front flap folds out of sight to form the rear support.

I recall there was some concern that several auto-wake covers were causing issues with the digitizer, borking the accuracy and sensitivity of the S-pen.
Have any covers of the above sort been found safe?

Been using this one from day 1 without any problems:
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01BWKZSUS/
Truth also be told, I don't use the pen as much as I expected.

Thanks for the suggestion. Unfortunately, one day's use isn't much evidence to bet on. See https://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-tab-s3/accessories/beware-auto-sleep-tab-s3-t3625213

He said day one, not one day.

I've been using both the Samsung keyboard cover and the Composition Book cover since Aug 2017 zero issues. I use the composition cover when I know I will only be taking notes with the S pen and not typing.

Anybody using the supcase?

That one has no magnets so no possibility of a problem.

Thank you for the suggestion. For anyone interested, the thread referred to is: anyone yet found a ZERO-magnet folio-style case?
