[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Now I know jivy has posted his opinion about this a few weeks back but has anyone else ordered the at&t version that has come out? What's your opinion? Compared to the pop case?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] gunnyman:
I have one and am quite happy with it. I did cut off the flaps covering the USB and headphone jacks as they drove me nuts.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SupremeOverlord777:
just got mine, they have a new version with the flaps and holes in the right place. its perfect for me- not too much extra bulk, but lots of protection
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Cool. Plan to order one. Thanks for your insights.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] SupremeOverlord777:
no problem. also nice that it comes with an OK screen protector, although I'll probably put a Zagg on mine anyway
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Donmeister85:
Does anyone know of a holster that would work with this? I'm really a big fan of the protective covers over the ports as I work in a pretty dusty environment. I have a Seidio surface case and holsterthat I'm currently using, but it has no protection for the ports whatsoever.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
I have a zagg on mine and I love it. I could care less about the orange Peel or whatever...it protects my screen. Can't wait to get my otterbox though.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KentuckyHouse:
I got my Commuter in today and I really like it. It's much sleeker than the Casemate Pop I bought when I got the phone (although I like the Pop, don't get me wrong).

I had Commuters on my 3GS and have one on my 4S as well, so I'm not new to this case, only new to the SGSII version. I like how it flows with the back of the phone (makes pulling it out of my pocket easier since the "hump" at the bottom is still there). I also like how it covers the top of the face...the iPhone version doesn't have that and I like the protection. And it works great with my cheap screen protector (although I'll probably put the Otterbox screen protector that came with it on).

This is definitely a great case for the SGSII since it's highly protective and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. The one reason I always go with the Commuter for my phones is the built-in port covers and these don't disappoint.

Highly recommended! :D
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] Seanbest:
Got my Otterbox Commuter today in the mail as well. Loved it on my Captivate and love in on my SGSII. My favorite case by far.

Getting a ZAGG today as well. Love them too.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Yeah I love my zagg. I'm struggling to find a website that actually has a otter in stock though :(
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] KentuckyHouse:
MWilkenson, I got mine from this seller on Amazon. This IS for the AT&T SGSII. I received mine in 4 days, so they ship quickly (at least they did in my case).

Ah...Kentucky you win......

That is the exact seller I got mine from
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] MWilkenson:
Case is ordered. Thank you!

Got it in 4 days.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] 800xl:
I'm liking mine. The only gripe I have is that the rubber makes it not slide in and out of a front jeans pocket as easy, kinda sticks to the pocket material.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] CiggyPipe:
I just got mine. Seems nice except for the top rubber part doesn't lie flush on the phone. It's like the case is ever slightly too tall or too wide, and it could have been avoided if it were designed be symmetrical instead of having the extra material on the top of the phone.

For clarity, this is what I'm talking about: youtube.com/watch?v=KwNISYXJ3QI&t=3m49s

Kind of a bummer, but I doubt most people will care.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy S II SGH-I777] P1 Wookie:
I just wish it had a holster like the defenders do. I love otterbox cases.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] jason370:
Yep, I everything right and they got me anyway.

-- on a go phone pre pay plan, unlimited talk, text, data...50/month

-- registered the Sim in my Nokia e72, then transferred to my sgn.

-- worked fine for a couple weeks now and then bam, shut down. I called to complain and the rep said they detected a smartphone imei. I swapped backto the Nokia and he said he reset the tower but still no data on my sgn.

Anyone know how to spoof an imei?

Argh,

Jason
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
I assume you are keeping up on the big Q&A thread, but to summarize since you've opened up a new thread:

AT&T appears to be cracking down on the unlimited data plans.

People from the medianet, gophone, and even some people on unlimited iphone plans are getting ther data shut off. The reason for the data shut off is that for some stupid reason AT&T lists the GNote as a Tablet, not a phone. That disqualifies it for any voice+data plans since AT&T sucks.

It does not appear, however, that AT&T is cracking down on anyone with a capped (200MB/2G/4G) plan. So one option is to get a 2g/4g smartphone plan with a different smartphone, then use that sim in the note.

No, you don't get cheap unlimited data (or unlimited data period), but at least you get data. Once you get the SMS there aren't that many options. (Well, I don't consider IMEI hacking a valid option).

Some people are nuking their /efs folders to return a generic IMEI number. It's not confirmed how long that trick works.

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] dscline:
Although I hate to say it, I can see AT&T's logic here. Everyone always got upset over the fact that they would charge more for (unlimited) data on a smartphone vs. a dumbphone. The only argument for that was that a typical smartphone user will likely use more data than a typical dumbphone user. You could carry the same logic to tablets. But if the data is metered, the device becomes moot. 2GB is 2GB, regardless of what is using it.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] maxh:
As ChodTheWocko says, there's a big thread on this over in the Q&A forum, and another thread in this forum. Check them out. Basically, they've been focusing on people on unlimited plans so far, and it appears switching to a tiered plan will get you out of trouble for now.

The other option is changing your IMEI. Galaxy Tab users have been doing this most of this year by deleting their /efs folder, which contains the IMEI, and the device reports a generic GSM phone IMEI after that. Somehow, despite many people using the same generic IMEI, everything seems to still be working since a few months ago. Replacing your /efs folder with that from another samsung device seems to give you the unique IMEI of the device the /efs folder came from.

So once again it seems like the best routes are:

Legit: Switch to a non-unlimited plan. This seems to make you OK (for now, at least)

Not as legit: Delete your /efs folder so your device returns a generic IMEI number. This has been working , but for how long?

Even less legit: replace your /efs folder with that from a different Samsung device. This should give you the unique IMEI of the donor device, and afford you the corresponding plan options.

Disclaimer, I haven't tried any /efs modifications, myself, as I haven't received the dreaded text yet. I'm only regurgitating what I've read. I won't be responsible for any issues you may encounter with /efs modifications.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] carhigh:
Everything would be just fine if you all simply had 4g sim cards on a legit data plan. I was issued a 4g sim card when I got my infuse way back when that was released and did almost 5gb of data last month and half way thru this month and already over 2gigs, and not one word text or email. The last post I just read in that other mention having to swap to a 4g sim card and problem solved..... shesh
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RashaMatt:
The (European) Note is not a 4g device - why does having a 4g sim card make any difference?
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
Simple it doesn't.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] rockky:
Just get a 4G plan....I finally did...pay month to month....totally worth it. Full H+ vs speeds.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] foxmeister:
The AT&T HSPA+ network isn't a 4G network either! :)

Don't confuse false advertising with marketing ...lol....
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] RashaMatt:
Apparently the IMEI range used by the Note is similar enough to that used by the Galaxy Tab that AT&T's systems are erroneously assuming our Notes at actually Galaxy Tabs. At least, that's their story.

And because they are a$$holes and require more expensive data packages if you are using a "tablet", they shut off our data thinking that we will call them up and meekly pay them more money to get it turned back on.

It took me a full hour on the phone with an idiot this morning to clear this up - jezus, the Note has been out for over a month, you'd think they would have this figured out by now??

The first clueless CSR actually told me flat out (eventually, after 45 minutes of "research") that there was nothing I could do, and "nobody there who could help me." So I told her she had better find someone who COULD help me Pronto, or I would take my four lines and $230/month of business straight over to StraightTalk or Verizon. She got her floor manager on the line fast. And it turns out HE could help me after all :D So the moral of that story is, demand to talk to the floor manager, and threaten to take your account elsewhere if you have to.

Any more bullsh!t like this from them and I will gladly pay the ETFs and take my lucrative business elsewhere. They have crappy 3g service around here anyway (max 300kbps) - I'd be happy to switch to Verizon 4g, where I'm getting 3-8Mbps down on my new LTE MiFi.
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] sonkameja:
How do you plan on using your gsm galaxy note going to work on the cdma network ?

Tmobile probably practices the same bull**** policies...

Weak argument
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] ChodTheWacko:
What did the floor manager do exactly, and will it keep working?

- Frank
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] brycestejskal:
So far, here is what is working for me with the same issue:

Make sure you are actually on a 4g plan, even if they say you are, keep asking to double check. I had 3 people tell me I was on the appropriate 4g plan and the 4th person said I was still on 3g unlimited.

Make sure you have a 4g sim card.

Go to an AT&T store and have them call and verify that it is indeed a phone, not a tablet.

Those were the three changes that had to take place before they stopped giving me a hard time with repeated txts and emails.

I have another thread in the general section of the Note forum outlining all my issues as they progressed.

[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] Jmlee915:
Thanks for the info. I will try this out today.

I spent over an hour on the phone this morning because my data was shut off. After they told me all they could give me was the $39.99 data connect plan for my "dell latitude" or "galaxy tablet," I rebooted my phone and the data came back.

I currently have $30 unlimited smartphone plan grandfathered in. I've also been seeing very mediocre speeds on my SGN (3.5Mbps/1Mbps).

UPDATE: Called at&t once again and was told that I couldn't get the 4G unlimited plan unless I use a different device. It seems like every rep I talk to is giving me a different story. Thanks at&t!

For reference (check your online bill):

3G unlimited: GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - DPPB

4G unlimited: GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - HSDPPB
[Galaxy Note GT-N7000 General] 5150Joker:
Mine is on the iPhone 3G unlimited plan: GPRS WAP UNLTD DOM - CMB1

No disconnect issues here and I get H+ speeds (sometimes 6 MB/s download when its not bogged down). Typically 3 MB/s down and 1 MB/s up.

People should be aware that the Verizon Galaxy Nexus is a different size than the UK Galaxy Nexus. The Verizon version is slightly thicker. I hope that does not interfere with the fitment of this case. I am purchasing the phone on Friday, but I am holding off on cases until I read more reviews.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catpunt:
thanks for the pics, i just ordered one
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TescoloveAsda:
thanks for info，did you buy any cheaper cases and put it on the phone?what is different ？
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] TEK112:
I don't have the phone yet. The Verizon model is being released tomorrow, therefore, no one has been able to make a "Verizon specific" Galaxy Nexus case. I will most likely buy the cheapest case they have at Verizon and use that one until more people report back about fitment. Better to be safe than sorry.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] ejkeebler:
Thought it was delayed? Unfortunately, I think its going to be awhile before we get more accounts of what accessories fit our Verizon model, IF it ever gets released....
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Deleted member 2842059:
I want to make sure: This case is TPU not silicone, correct?

Do you have any pictures from the front of the device?

Let us know how that screen protector looks.

my requirement for dry apply screen protector:

-protector edge sticks to phone all the way to edge. (Most of the dry apply protectors have the last 1mm of the protector lift).

-no rainbow effects. I hate it when there is an ugly rainbow effect. totally kills teh phone.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
Is anyone From west coast that ordered those? How Long did it take?

also, is this thing a lint magnet?

i know most tpu (gloss) cases aren't but this is a matted finish, so just wondering....

also, how is the screen protector that comes with it?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vatanatips:
slowly ，2 weeks from HK to US

but good Tpu case so far

screen protector is not perfect for me
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] predation:
The tiny two holes on the back bottom. Is That for lanyards?
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vatanatips:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Hwaiting:
I'm interested in getting this case but did Nillkin just go under? Their website was working up until last night but when I checked this morning, it now directs me to...well, let's just say it's not cellphone cases.

EDIT: nevermind, I went through my history instead of google and it brought me to the right website!

BTW, what was wrong with the screen protector if I may ask? Did you not like it because it was cut a little small? It seems like all the dry applied screen protectors are cut small I guess because of the curved screen. Perhaps that's better though because I have a gel case from Case-Mate on my Nexus One and it lifts the edge to edge screen protector on it all the time along the sides.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qw_haoyun:
pics please，thanks
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Ashen Victor:
Yes, it is. They also give you a Nillkin branded phone charm that doubles as a screen cleaner.

This is the first time I've bought a TPU case (I left my N1 naked), but I like the feel and look of the Nillkin. Definitely gives it a nice grip as I felt the GN naked was "slippery" and felt fragile. Like, every time I held the phone I thought I was going to drop it. With the case I can definitely hold it without worries. The Nillkin also fits like a glove and is molded perfectly so there aren't any loose spots. It's also stiff, but gives enough flexibility to put the phone in and take the phone out.

The only thing that bothers me, but not something I stress over because I've already forgotten about it (until now), is the cutout for the 2nd mic isn't aligned perfectly. It's actually just a bit off to the right. But like I said, I've already forgotten about it and it's such a minor issue.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] catpunt:
I agree with ashen mostly, but i've had a lot of tpu skins and the nilikin is definitely a little loose at the middle on both sides. The 2nd mic hole is definitely off though i think it could easily be widened sufficiently. I like the smooth matte finish but it definitely seems a little stiffer and less rubbery than other tpu skins, like incipio ngp, and therefore maybe less shock absorbent. The side buttons are less tactile and more difficult to locate by feel than the s-wave case but overall it's my favorite so far. I'm hoping the loose sides allow it to fit with the extended battery.

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vatanatips:
high quality case and great looking as pics
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] snotrockets:
I just got this case, and the material feels good and nice in the hand and it fits snugly over the phone.

It does seem as if it could use some subtle changes: the cutouts for the camera and the secondary mic are offset a bit to the right -- but they are big enough, so this is only a cosmetic problem, and the front vertical edges aren't exactly parallel, making the display looked skewed (but I don't know if it's even possible to make a soft case where the edges remain exactly parallel when installed.)

It is quite thin, as TPU cases go, but the GN is a huge phone, and this added thickness breaks it for me, making the phone feel too big in my hands. The cover on the power button also makes it harder for me to fell the feedback when pressing it, causing me to press it longer than needed and get to the power menu instead of the unlock screen.

Has anybody tried this and the Rearth hard case or the official mesh case, and can tell me how they stack up, thickness wise?

I think it's worth the $12 (incl. s&h) I payed for it on eBay, but I'm not sure I'm going to keep it.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Fatila:
Got this case last week and very pleased with it (transparent black). It is very svelte and on the first day I thought it had come off at one point looking at the phone!

Still getting used to volume and power button placement, can be easy to hit them accidently but their position is marked slightly on the case to help you find it by touch and visually. Recommended.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] vatanatips:
thanks，nice review.
[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] qw_haoyun:

[Samsung Galaxy Nexus] Mainej:
Got the case 5 days ago, the case looks very nice and thin, and feels good in the hand.

However I found some drawbacks: it took me some time to align all the cutouts but now it seems okie, the cover on the power button and the volume buttons are not precise so it's hard to feel the feedback when pressing them, and it's sometimes hard to find the buttons.

The front lip "hugs" the phone really good but there is a small gap where the power button is (makes me think I got a defected case because all of the issues with the power button region)

In overall it's a very nice case for his price
