On page 72 I saw this post.

I have all 3 of these cases.

1 The case in the first set of pics. I don't like it. The rubber that comes around the side and covers a small part of the front is super flimsy and will not protect the edge of the screen if dropped. The outer plastic is hard to get in place because the inner soft rubber is to soft and just wont stay put on the corners without some time. And the deal breaker was that the rotating belt clip broke off the holster the first time I bent over.

2 The case in the second set of pics is nice but does not come with a holster. But the kick stand works great.

3 And the 3rd set of pics the otterbox. I pealed out the plastic screen protector and I put on a tempered glass screen protector because I love the feel of glass vs plastic. I will admit it is less rain proof now but it's worth it.

And no kick stand? are you serious??? How much flipping $ do you need to put in a kickstand? There is plenty of room for it. That's why ditched you for the cheap O eBay case.

With case 2 and 3 it's best if you put the plastic front face down on a belt sander for a bit. Then put the case back on the phone. That way the rubber will stick out further then the plastic and soften the fall if the phone falls on its face. I also sand down all other applicable plastic protrusions for the same reason. I wonder if thinning the plastic like this is a bad Idea. Maybe it will weaken the face ring so much that a drop on its face will have a more focused impact on the front edge of the screen increasing the chance of a screen fracture. Id say its a good idea to file it at least a little.

I see some of you have got some really nice cases, but the list is vast and there are some nice cases to choose from... but what about standard screen covers?

Is there a screen cover that is a must-have?

Hello everyone,just got my N7100!!The phone rocks,it's a beast!

I'm looking for a non-flip slim matte case that covers the whole phone preferably black or grey colour.

Any suggestions?

I live in Greece,thanx in advance!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] covers:
where did you get this case? link? thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] q426669:
Clear and Green Cruserlite & Body Glove from Sprint.

The Body Glove is easier to put on, but slightly thinner all around.

The Cruserlite's are harder to get on, the clear areas are 'sticky' so it's hard to seat your phone properly. Check out the top microphone on the green case - I DIDN'T align it properly as it was just for a picture. To get that centered (look at clear case) just use your nail to kind pry up the back of the case using the camera opening, and then you should be able to get the case to line up correctly.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] squick:
That would be great, I would like to know. I was looking at several of those batt door replacement types until I ran into something in the description of one that said "Not For US Model, Just The International N7100". I even sent a message to about 3 sellers there on Ebay that had them to see what they would say to it. And they all said will not fit Sprint version.

that was the biggest concern i had buying the case online. i couldn't trust these shady made in chinas with getting the 2 mic holes aligned right. koreans ones are okay but didn't like any of them as far as style goes. thanks to the guys bodyglove pic, i now own one and it looks EXACTLY like the picture above. Got it at a sprint store for 25 dollars. To be honest, i have never seen a phone that looks so damn gexy gadget+sexy lol. Note 2 looks much better than the GS3

I might be a bit biased if you look at my sig (that's in need of an overdue update), but I've bought and played with most universal holders and form a quality point of view they're generally crap.

I've got my TPU cased Note 2 sitting in this cradle from ProClip. They're not the cheapest solution, but they're quality, look much better than the cheap universals and will easily outlast many phones. I've had that cradle go through the Moment, Evo, Epic, S3 and now the Note 2. A cased Note 1 would've pushed it beyond its limit with some cases.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vantt1:
That "Box Series" case looks like it could bring about a few problems. Firstly, the colored variations of the case will scratch like crazy, and because you're wrapping the phone in aluminum, you'll experience signal drop, no NFC and no wireless charging. Also, it's hard to say how well the glass on top will adhere to the screen. If there's no silicone film affixing it to the screen, then you'll create an air gap between the glass and the screen and then you'll see an extra layer of reflections and dust.

Hey guys, I am interested in a flip case after i broke my display and had to repair it for 140€ by myself.

As i dont want it to break again i am looking for a good flip case with bumpers for the edges.

Because when the display broke it fell on the edge.

I was thinking to order a Case-Mate Barely There or Tough case,

because i had great expierience with my Case-Mate on my Galaxy S1,

but a flip case seems to be more usefull when it comes to screen protection.

Too bad Case-Mate doesnt make flip cases.

Ebay is full of flip cases from 1-30€ but i have no idea which ones are good.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BleuZ:
I decided to not use cases on my devices because it makes the device lose its slim look and feel - instead, I always opt for an original flip cover + tempered glass screen protector for my devices.

Also, since I'm really into brown leather (I had the original brown leather flip cover for my original Note as well) I figured the amber brown flip cover would be close enough.

I think it looks gorgeous :D

It's a Samsung OEM flip cover. Just to be clear, it replaces your back cover and doesn't come with a bumper case. The sides are completely unprotected except for where the actual flip cover is attached to the back cover.

Anyhow, it comes in a variety of colours and can be bought at any major technology store. Also Amazon :)

red trident aegis

saw a vid review on youtube and spent $22 for it on ebay. I am really liking it.

The buttons are covered, but they are very easy to press.

Headphone and charging port are also covered. You just move the cover aside to use it.

Havent dropped my phone (yet!) so cant let you know about that.

It is recessed so your screen is a bit protected.

oh, its silicone and that poly stuff thats really tough.

Now looking for a flip cover with a magntic closure and preferably 360 angle view. Any suggestions?

Can anyone confirm that NFC still works with the black body glove case on the device. Thanks!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dbpaddler:
FYI... Avoid the Amzer case/holster combo that has the kickstand in the holster. Great general fit, but it has two major flaws. One, there is no lip to the snap on case down the sides. The bezel is clearly visible and it takes minimal minimal effort to pop the phone out of the case. This is amplified by no raised lip on the top side of the holster. The phone slides freely in and out. Deadly combo. A 2ft drop to the sidewalk bounced my N2 out of the holster then out of the case with bottom stylus corner taking the impact giving it a nice scrape on the corner and the stylus top.

Quick email to the manufacturer (who Amzer buys them from) as I was planning to do some reselling. Not of this design.

Shame because the holster was solid as a stand in portrait mode which the other kickstand case/holster combo doesn't do as well, at least on the S3. The N2 might be more stable since the bottom is flatter.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cyper.bg:
I bought the Tridea flip cover, but I'm disappointed with the fact that the cut-out for the earpiece is not aligned with the actual earpiece. And the front cover is not covering the front of the phone equally. It's edging much more towards the top than the bottom:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mcdill the pig:
Hi, I have a Tridea Italian flip too. I tried several of them in the shop and my experience is the same as yours. Due to the tight tolerences, each of the cases I tried had a slightly different fit (i.e. some fit better, some fit worse). I bought the one which fit best but I still need to close the case "just right" in order for the ear-piece cut out to align with the actual earpiece.

I also tried the various Zenus cases, but I felt thay they were too bulky. The way that they clip onto the phone also did not feel particularly secure when compared to the Tridea.

BTW, I also have the Verus Classic K flip cover (yes, I am a fan of flip covers) and the problem with that one is that the cover has too much "slack" (i.e. it overhangs the side of the phone).

I also tried the Mercury flip cover and that one was squeaky on the left side, i.e. did not grip the phone properly on the left hand side.

Yep - I'm still looking for that perfect flip cover.

Finally - I'm not a fan of the ones which replace the back cover (e.g. the official Samsung ones, or the Anymode ones) because they don't protect the chrome on the side of the phone.

Kind regards
