[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] oka1:
My recommendation get a semi hard rubber case takes a beating. I have never broke a screen in 25 years of having a phone. I did Have a Blackberry old Brick (big square ugly phone) I dropped it off a 40 ft roof and it bounced and the screen never broke......... Luck of the Irish I guess

Either way I have dropped alot of phones and the semi hard case seems to take the shock

Bummer man, probably 145usd for a screen assembly.........:(
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ~ L:
Note hasn't even been out for that long so even if you don't have insure to cover it I'm pretty sure your still applicable to apply.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Sharpshooterrr:
A device that big and heavy would really break easier than the smaller ones I guess.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jommy999:
i have seen many sites doing insurance for the phone break or drop via online site . so he could then apply on one those websites and report later thats broken ? heheh not sure as i don't think they gonna check the phone when he sign up with them.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
It works perfect no body damage just the screen
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
Its not gorilla glass its just a thin piece of common glass. I am pretty sure it broke because it landed flat on the screen.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
The problem with any glass screen isn't that they are "shatter" proof, but they are scratch resistant. Just about any piece of glass tinsel strength will resist a scratch (except for a diamond), but a sudden impact, especially on an edge will pretty much shatter it. The gorilla glass can flex, if you've seen the video, but I bet they never show anyone striking it on the edge. Even though in your event, it fell on the face, from the look of the photo, it landed on the edge first, even if just by a small amount.

I have a Dell Streak and the first thing I do before exiting my vehicle, is to make sure it is in the pouch before I get out of the car. My previous phones (HTC's) got dropped several times getting into/out of my car. I use to keep an otter box case on it, but they are so bulky, not many cases around for belt use.

I feel for you, but, I bet just about any large surface area piece of glass would do the same thing. Head over to the Dell Streak forum and you'll see a few broken glass streaks.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
Im not arguing with you because you are right. Its a big piece of glass that is very fragile. I drive a regular sedan opened the door took the note out of the cup holder and as I got out it fell from about a foot maybe in between two and a foot. If you look at the design of the not most of the glass is exposed over the bezel of the phone. This is an item that needs a case or a good insurance plan.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Mrglass86:
i feel soooo lucky, i dropped my in a store from hip height, perhaps 3 feet, and batt flew out and everything, no scratch, i shattered a moto atrix with only a 18 inch drop though, i really think its the angle, corners are bad, long sides are better
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
It would be cool if we could plan the drop.:)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] PickleHead:
I've dropped my captivate at least 10 times... with an otter box. Really the otter boxes are incredible.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mha1021:
OttorBox made a nice case for Dell streak, I gotta check if OttorBox or anything similar is made for GNOTE,
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] p51d007:
I hope they do. Otter box is worth the money.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Prozac69:
How did you get cover from Squaretrade? When I go to the site it just has iPad and iPhone on the homescreen and I can't see any other way to get a quote on a different phone!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] reinbeau:
Wow, I thought the Note was made with Gorilla Glass, but I see it isn't, nor is the Nexus. Dumb move on their part, especially with such an expensive phone. I can attest to the toughness of Gorilla Glass, my Captivate is over a year old now, no scratches, and it has withstood a few falls....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Gus Hayabusa:
Sorry

Im sorry my friend...:(

However... it is also a matter of luck and how it lands.

I dropped mine from about 7 feet!!!!!!

No kidding. I tried to jump from somewhere and the phone just slipped.

It landed with the corner of the frame, made a short but deep mark.

The cover went on one side, the battery on the other and the phone

went downhill on tarmac with the screen facing down.

I nearly broke to tears because the cost of this phone for me is nearly

a months salary.

Result:

Only the mark on the corner that it landed!!!!!

The screen doesnt have even a needle's nose mark.

and works fine!!!

Gorilla glass is simply the best glass outhere right now.

But ofcourse, not unbreakable. Very scratch resistant though. Very!!! :)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
I just bought 3 years cover from Squaretrade for £50. You have to go to amazon.co.uk to purchase. Once you purchase you get an email of your policy and instructions how to forward your reciept.

Thanks to the OP for spurring me into action

:O
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] paulshields:
I'm looking at doing it myself, but I believe you just go to somewhere like Amazon and just pick up one of their warranties. You then register the device with squaretrade on their website.

This one seems like the most suitable for the Note. 3 year 'drops and spills' warranty for a £500-£600 device. £49 seems a reasonable insurance for the Note. I've dropped every single smartphone/tablet I've ever owned...:eek:.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Prozac69:
No good for me then as I never got a receipt!!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dennishhh:
insurance

I insured my note at http://www.ensquared.com/catalog $99 for two years covers everything with the smaller deductible than anybody else. Lots of good reviews. The money we pay for these things 50 dollars a year seems like a little bit. I just double checked with them on chat they confirm they do cover it. The person I was dealing with said they were getting a note soon also. This phone is quietly taking over the world. Sorry to hear about your loss on this phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
Hang on a minute. What if the OP is a troll from Squaretrade ? :)

If so he really got me
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Prozac69:
The OP never mentioned Squaretrade in his post though!
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
Exactly. Damn clever these troll chappies.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lumbard:
I dropped my streak twice and the screen shattered twice, the first time it fell 3 foot from my loose pocket onto a hard floor (and this is amazing) Dell repaired it FOC, basically the Gorilla glass shattered but the LCD was still fine.

The second time it dropped from 5 foot onto carpet and the whole thing shattered LCD too!!! Carpet!! Carpet!? WTF! But by this time (about 4 months ago) a replacement screen assembly from ebay was only 30 quid so I wasn't quite as gutted, just have to be patient when 'peeling' the streak apart.

Back to the Note though. It's awesome, I've not been so happy with a device since the HTC Universal (at the time that was awesome!)
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] eallan:
This is in no way accurate.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] blobotorian:
i contacted otterbox via Facebook and they said that they don't have any plans for a case for the note. let's hope this will change.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] randypurcz:
Squaretrade told me they will not cover the Note for accidental damage. They will provide a 2 year warranty that runs concurrent with the Samsung warranty -so really they would sell you nothing ?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 3_D:
I just went online and got a squaretrade warranty. I did it online, so I just put down it was an android phone. It was $101 with ADH after coupon. Did you talk to someone on the phone?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] falconeight:
I wish I was with square trade. I am still figuring out how am I going to get another phone.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Techvir:
If u r in US , square trade wont cover for ur Gnote from europe.

There is another thread in the forum.

I have emailed them and confirmed.

The current option is ensquared or something else.

The best thing with square trade is , they will refund u full , if they cant repair it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] willstay:
If that had happened to me, I would certainly have got a heart attack. But again when I get mine, I am not going to put cover except screen protector.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sparkyxda:
Sorry, it was a cheap joke at your expense. You're a good sport for not taking offense.

Good grief, now my posts are rhyming!

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] lumbard:
Hats off to the Mod censure to the above post. I think we can probably all guess what he said to the original poster given the nature of the removal.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rdosti:
Had you gotten the flip cover on it at the time of your drop / mishap , would it have helped? All I can then suggest is getting the flip cover with the phone (for new buyers) in order to minimize the risk of damage to a phone.

By the way aren't you not supposed to drop the phone anyways... sorry couldn't help it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ilovemyjasjar:
Mine fell out of my side pocket of my trousers as I was getting out of the car the other day. It bounced off the sill onto the tarmac. I now have gouge marks on the top left corner but luckily the screen is okay although it does now have a small scratch. Can't wait for the flip cover to become available here.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] mircury:
Hmmm... That's odd. Below, is what I was going on when I got mine. They can't really deny that the galaxy note wasn't intended for the US either since it has been filed with the FCC, but whatever. I'll fight that battle when I come to it if ever.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
Mine fell 2' off my bedside table (nightstand to US readers) and landed on a wooden floor.

The flip case took a fair amount of the energy, as it almost disattached. Anyway, thankfully not a scuff.

My commiserations to the OP.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 3_D:
I called them also, and they said that they DO warranty the Note.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
This thread is the reason why I won't buy a case that doesn't have front screen protection.

The only drop I really give a care about is the phone landing screen face down and killing the screen.

My biggest concern if I (or someone) drop the phone if I'm using it. Pouches aren't going to help there, nor do I suspect that thin flip cover.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
My Note slipped out of my shorts pocket (slippery workout shorts) and fell 3 feet to the hard, tile floor with extra lateral energy, as I was running. The battery and back cover flew off/out, but there's not a single nick, scratch, crack, or blemish anywhere on the phone! Both the screen and case are pristine. :cool: I don't use a case or screen protector. I will be using more care in the future, though, as the heart attack I experienced should stick in my memory for awhile. :eek:
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Unsinkable II:
I've also attached a nice looking lanyard to the phone via the speaker grille (as per a forum member's suggestion on another thread).

This gives me additional peace of mind when I'm using the phone in busy places (I live in Hong Kong).
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Phytrax:
GORILLA GLASS BREAKS!

Read the post by the guy with the Dell Streak. If the EDGE of the glass hits something hard it creates a focal point for the energy, just like when you tear a piece of cloth or plastic, it's a lot easier if you start on the edge instead of the middle. The Note may not have Gorilla Glass but I'm sure it's something very similar.

A case doesn't have to cover the full glass to be a big help!! If it covers the edge of the glass that is the most vulnerable spot.

And to hell with Otterbox. I can't imagine trying to get this phone in my pocket with a huge sticky Otterbox. I want a Case-Mate Tough Case. I had one for my SGS2 and it was just perfect. Plenty of grip in the hand, not to much going in the pocket, and great shock protection.

from ebay

http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123

review:

After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"

synthetic leather case.

Its weight is 290 grams.

Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.

It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.

The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."

On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.

It smells like leather.

The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.

Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case

And finally i am happy, and this is the most important :)
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] bobsbbq:
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] bharathbala2003:
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] spritable:
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.

Maybe this one:

http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165

You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).

I bought this. Premium quality indeed.

EDIT:

cheaper one :o

yes, you can charge it with the case closed :)

Yes, its really looks like PyroSkins clipcase

the feeling and the smell is "perfect leather"

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123 - just a link that's easier to click then yours :)

I must say the case looks really nice!

I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?

And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] rafailo:
The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.

but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is

to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] nightmarebadger:
Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described :)

Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] dly6981:

[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] slack04:
The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] nightmarebadger:
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though) :)

Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] slack04:
You definitely didn't look very hard. Here's my post from last week. Link to amazon where you can get if now for $19.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=19150993&postcount=203
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] nightmarebadger:
Aye, you're right. Wouldn't help me though, since amazon tells me that "there is a slight problem with my order" (they can't ship it to my place for some reason).

Still, good to know a cheaper option might exist for some people, thanks!
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] dly6981:
Yes the size should be the same. I'm just worried about button/port placement.
[Galaxy Tab 10.1 Accessories] sh500:
For people trying to find one from the UK...

I purchased a look a like case from here:

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C

I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.

The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.

'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
