I wish they'd make these cases for the Note 2:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mvtm:
My case just arrived. Too late timing and now the person is gone. It is sitting on my usa ofic and i am in venezuela.. Maybe i can ask for some pics at least for you guys. Will check this thread.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Abra_Cadabra:
On the rearth web site they now say available on amazon and ebay. Amazon doesn't ship outside the US. Trying to find the eBay seller but no luck so far. If anyone does find it appreciate a link.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cpm:
I saw it on ebay already. Think it was rearth themselves and not a third party. Try typing them into a seller search.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Abra_Cadabra:
Got it. Thanks!

For anyone else looking: http://www.ebay.com/sch/rearthusa/m.html

Not sure why it is not coming up on search.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Alaris:
I got this one. It's the same one isn't it?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
Can I get a new link for this? Page shows up as "access denied".
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] amerikian:
That's the one I got too. Should be here next week.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mvtm:
I am posting here to let you know i wont have the case until about a month, so if anyone can post pics..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
My ebay order shipped very quickly, vs the actual rearth site that shows almost everything out of stock. Should be delivered on Monday (tomorrow). Will post pics when I can.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Abra_Cadabra:
Mine shipped next day as well. However I expect shipment will take a bit longer to where I am.. placed the order and hoping that the corners are protected. Else will need to look for the body glove or samsung case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chino0131:
Just received mine today, along with my sd card and Bluetooth headset. Ordered on Friday off of Amazon directly through Rearth for $10.99 total for the case. I had the same version of the case for my GNex and loved it. Now I just need Verizon to ship out the damn phone!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] amerikian:
I got mine today. I'm kinda bummed cause it's not a snug fit. It actually rattles a little and feels like it will fall off during a drop. The one I had for the sgs3 snapped on really tight. Not the same fit. Might be since it is the first batch or something.

Otherwise I'm happy and will probably stick with it for while...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Ugh, that's not good. I would exchange it. Mine arrive today as well, but I am on a business trip until Saturday, so I have to go without. Also ordered a screen protector from them... first time, will let you know how it goes.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rickhuizinga:
I just got my Rinke Slim today as well.

It's not a super tight fit, but on the plus side its easy to remove to get access to the micro SD card. I tend to swap it out alot as that's how I transfer my photos while I'm away from my computer.

The main reason I bought it was to improve the grip so the Note wouldn't keep falling out of my hands, especially when typing with both hands. I'm happy to report that it does that quite well and it has a premium soft-touch feel.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
It's funny I stumbles on this thread and just got my case today from them.. At first I got it just to hold me over, but the case is really nice.. I just wanted something to protect the back when I put it on a surface.. I never dropped a phone in my life so I don't need the thickest protection.. And I've had thick cases for my Epic, 4g touch and the only thing I don't like about those heavy duty cases is the heat it circulates

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] amerikian:
- Do you feel the fit is snug enough for you? My phone has just a little bit of play...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
I feel my phone fits snug enough for me.. Any more snug, the case would be harder to get off :(

-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Got mine today and it is very snug. No movement at all. Noticed mine has a label on the inside that gives it a little padding (just like the one I had on my S3). The pictures posted a few posts earlier by "chino0131" show a case that doesnt have that. I wonder if there's two versions.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chino0131:
Mine had a white sticker inside, but I removed it. It was just a paper sticker, it wasn't like the leather like padding that the Gnex version has in the case. Didn't notice this until now. I will have to wait to and see how it fits
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Yeah, I had it on my Galaxy Nexus also so I just left it on this one. The fit is so tight on my Note 2 I didnt feel like prying it off just to check how thick the label was. :cool:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
Same this way.. I'll be taking this thing off only when really needed

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chino0131:
See your from the DC area. How's Sprints 4GLTE around DC/MD/VA? I previously had Sprint, but cut off my personal line and jumped to Verizon a few years ago once my company offered to take on my cell bill. May add a personal line again with Sprint since Verizon's taking so long on the Note2. I never had issues with Sprints 3G speeds in this area, but wondering about 4G.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
I haven't got the 4GLTE here in dc yet it's only in Baltimore I believe (which is dumb to me) but it's coming soon.. I can't wait because 3g speeds have increased a whole lot bunch here + the combo of this new radio.. So I know lte will be great

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chino0131:
Got it, Thanks.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Abra_Cadabra:
Thanks for the pics. Glad to see see corners look to be protected in this - would be clearer when we have pics with the phone in it. Not like the countless ebay slim cases that all seem to have been made off the same mould (rock/nohon/meifeng/imak/etc) with slightly different materials.

Still waiting on mine. A bit concerned about the loose fit reported. Was hoping it would be like the GNex - that one was a perfect fit even if it made it a real pain to take off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
Pics in the case.. At first this was going to be temporary since it was cheap and in stock but I like it now though

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ayman86:
bought this too. i want the flip case but its too expensive.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yungtexas:
Dallas native here.... Got the case last Friday from a local ebal seller. Phone fits perfectly in it. I didn't remove the paper on the inside simply because I didn't feel like it. It doesn't move one bit and is still easy to remove when needed to. Minue maybe the middle of the top and bottom. This is still 9/10
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] amerikian:
Mine must be bunk if everyone else's are fitting snug. Oh well what evs 12 bucks down the tube. It still serves its purpose.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sher The Love:
Just got mine today. There is definitely some movement up and down. Doesn't fit as snug as in was hoping. Its nice and thin, but I'm scared its going go slip out one day. Glad I have the non flip Samsung cover on the way
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrpickem:
I've had the Rearth case for a few days now and it's ok. Very easy to put on or remove. Adds a fair amount of protection for a slim case. My problem is it fits rather loosely on the sides and you can definitely feel movement from the case when handling the Note. Over time this could cause wear marks and I'm sure it will get looser over time. I prefer a more rigid minimal case such as the Rock(I have one on my S3 and very happy with it). I may get a Rock or I may consider this one...

[youtube]Af_AARLbKeA[/youtube]
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yungtexas:
So there has to be a common denominator here. A lot of members have received this case and have little to no play while others find themselves having a loose fit. Is there maybe a revised version of the case. I mean there's absolutely no play on this case. And like said before for a slim case. It protects the sides and corners pretty well along with the edges on the back of the phone. I call tell ya the ebay seller who I bought mine from
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
I had a Rock case on my GS3 as well and this Rearth fits just as tight and snug as my Rock did. I wonder why some are reporting a loose fit while some of us have a tight fit. Are their differences in GN2 sizes (I thought they were all the same) or maybe a variation in the production of these cases?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
I have no play on mines at all either.. Perfect fit and easy to get off.. Got mines off amazon

-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrpickem:
I bought off eBay and thought maybe knockoff...but with so many complaints...it must be a quality control issue. I think I will contact Rearth and see what they say.

$40 is alot for a slim Tech21 case http://tinyurl.com/b5d2e6q

Mine is a T889 T-Mobile version Note...not that it matters.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yungtexas:
Paid 11 bucks for mine
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ayman86:
same as mines. fits perfect with no movement. i love it. also bought it from amazon
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
I currently have the oem flip case, and while i held my phone, wallet, and coffee on one hand, as i used the other to turn my door knob to open the door, i carelessly banged my phone to the door. It was very slight and i don't think it should have cause any damage...but sadly it did.

I hit the upper right corner of the phone with my hollow plywood of a door, and there it was, a 1mm mark on my back cover. There was also a scufff mark on the metal rim, but luckily, it buffed right out.

Luckily, i still have my original backcover, and when my OCD kicks in, i'll probably replace my flip cover with it, but then i'll be needing a case to protect it.

This has been the only case i've seen that i like aesthetically. But looking at the cutouts at the top/bottom, i don't think this would have saved my phone from the previous incident.

Anyone know of a similar looking case with full coverage?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
Only thing I'm not liking about this case so far are the really noticeable finger prints due to the matte finish.. I think in a few days I may be in the market for the body glove case that sprint was selling.. That's a very nice minimal case

Or one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B009X264CO/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1352623798&sr=8-40&pi=SL75

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Abra_Cadabra:
Finally got mine delivered here in Dubai.

Perfect fit - no sliding or give in any way I'm happy to report. Was getting worried after the complaints here.

Top and bottom coverage is better than the other slim cases I've had (Rock and Nohon). Quality in terms of material and fit is also much better. The rearth is almost like a skin on the phone and barely adds any additional bulk at all. Somehow just feels better in the hand than anything else I've tried so far.

However I do wish they had gone just a bit further in terms of coverage. Particularly the bottom front edge seems to be exposed in case of a fall. Granted the phone would need to fall almost at exactly the wrong angle to take a hit there but still...

Not quite the same standard as the GNex case in my view in terms of coverage but otherwise still the best case by far (I'm on my 5th at the moment) for me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mr. Droid:
Anyone have the white one?

Is the White feeling textured or smooth?

I member on the note 1 black was a rubbery feeling where as the white was smooth
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mypantsaretorn:
I have both the white and black. The white is a flat white and it is VERY slippery. More slippery than going case-less since your fingers still sort of grip to the glossy plastic on the phone. However, with the white case my fingers can't get a grip at all on the matte white surface so I wouldn't recommend it if you're looking for something to improve the grip of the phone.

The black one I have is loose and it doesn't hold the phone as snug as the white one.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
I have the white version and it is smooth, but not slippery as the other person stated. It's definitely a lot less slippery compared to the stock back piece. I love it, tis a very clean look and feel.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] burnnhell:
I just got the white one as well. I'm going to have to agree that it's smooth, but I wouldn't call it slippery. Nice case for ten bucks. Can't go wrong.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mr. Droid:
Thanks guys for the info, I'm going to buy a black and a white one.

Would black look weird on a white phone ?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ycats:
the site says "out of stock", any other place to buy these from?

---------- Post added at 07:56 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:49 AM ----------

nevermind, got one from Amazon
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] j_bravo14:
I got the white one as well. It's not slippery. It's smooth. It does not attract finger prints. One of the best slim case I would say
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] finalhit:
Mine finally arrived. Definitely looks good. If you've got oily skin, definitely carry around a micro fiber with you at all times because this thing gets shiny quick.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aimfire72:
I got my black one in the mail from ebay today. Fit is loose... seems like its about 1 mm too long for the phone. You can feel the phone moving around in it. I'm gonna email them and see what they can do for me... :/
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] redrider54:
Mine does this same thing... also is loose on the corners too
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Jfrye:
I recieved my black Ringke Slim from Amazon today ...it fits nice and snug for me and not loose at all. This is just to hold me over until I feel like forking out $45 for a Surface case and holster.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shenns:
Got mine yesterday and pretty disappointing. FLex on the sides and even worse, alot of play top to bottom.

Any kind of movement or spacing = scratches and scuffs

I bought one because i was extremely happy with the galaxy nexus version which was tight as hell. This one will be going back..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] joudbren:
Exact same for me. Mine just arrived today and very loose fit and side flex. Pretty disappointed. They apparently have a new batch coming in and are going to send me a replacement so we'll see how it goes. Will post back if it fits better. Cheers!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Two weeks with my white version, not a single problem. Not loose, no shifting, and it's still the best feeling case out of my ever growing collection. (up to 6 now)

I bought mine directly from amazon (sold by Rearth), because their website showed sold out. Maybe you guys got a bad batch?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mvtm:
Somewhere next week my white one will arrive venezuela
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
I wonder if the people complaining about the looseness bought it from eBay and not from Rearth directly. Maybe a knockoff?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] easycure1974:
Bought mine from Amazon and it is perfect, nothing at all to complain about for me
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jojocommi:
thanks for the link, not liking the rock case but other cases were available
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
Even though I don't like this case it's pretty tough.. I was helping my grandma out the car and the phone fell from my shirt pocket when I leaned over.. Phone went skidding down the drive way and hit hard.. I was like ohjj shi*t my phone is fuc*ed

I picked up my phone and not a single scratch on the phone anywhere.. The case is totalled tho.. Oh well

Purchased from amazon and yes I have flex on the sides as well very disappointed in this case.

Would not recommend at all unless they make a revision.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chuhsi:
Can I put my phone face down with this case and not scratch the screen?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Weeks of use and this case still isnt loose. Might have been a bad batch, why are you guys exchanging them?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] boxer82003:
Hey guys, I took the foam that the case was wrapped in when you remove it from the box, I then cut a square out approx from the bottom of the camera to just above the speaker and almost as wide as the phone, lay it in the case, and snap your phone in. Mine is perfect.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skankyass:
Nice. Can you post some pictures?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sway40:
I just got my white case in even though im still waiting on the verizon note 2. I've had the titanium one and white one on my nexus and it's one if the best cases I've ever used. I've had plenty of nasty drops and the phone and case came out unharmed, this was being dropped on smooth concrete about 4ft high several times. The white one is smooth but not slippery, it has grip, hard to explain but it's never come close to slipping out of my hand.

I'll back this case and company 100%, when my titanium case cracked taking the case off the phone, I emailed them and they sent a new one out immediately.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sergio Espinoza:
I'll go pick my case later from the mail forwarding service.

Bought it from Amazon for $10.99

Crossing my fingers for a snug fit!!! :rolleyes:

Will comment later. (and post pics if needed)

Peace!

** UPDATE **

Got the case!!! Pretty snug fit, No horizontal or vertical displacement whatsoever, almost imperceptible lose @ the sides/center area (near the buttons)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chuhsi:
Just ordered a white one. Well see how it fits
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skankyass:
Got mine today and it fits okay i guess. Not as snug as my Galaxy Nexus.

Looks like cheaper materials used to produce the note 2 case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
I also had one on my Nexus. They look exactly the same to me but the GN2 version does feel more flexible. I'm guessing that's because previous models had a bad rep for hairline fractures. It fits perfectly snug though. Where'd you order yours from?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] skankyass:
Bought it from Rearthusa.com
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dongarritas:
Got this one today, and it is of very good quality, AND fits with Samsung flip cover back!:good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PsycloneTW:
Got mine from Amazon, sold by Rearth so presumably not a knock off. It also has a little bit of play along the edges where if I squeeze them I can feel it move in a little. I also notice that one edge seems to sit slightly lower than the other edge(like it's not quite big enough) which makes it kind of feel like it would slip off if impacted just right. I will say that my Rock quicksand case on my GS3 did fit tighter. I have insurance on it so if it does get damaged then I am protected so we'll see if I do drop it(knock on wood that I don't) how well this case does it's job.

After waiting 1 MONTH for my Ringke Galaxy Note 2 case.... when i opened the package i saw an iPhone 5 case.

Bought from Amazon, release date. Help!!!!!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mvtm:
Ok i got replied from Rearth. They going to ship me the correct case and i don't need to return the iPhone 5 case. Sold the iPhone 5 case for 10 bucks to a friend. Shipped to another address my GN2 Rearth Ringke SLIM in white. Now i have to wait...

Received my black case from amazon today fit is snug.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] littleguevara:
I have one of these and no complaints although I just put it on today but I haven't had any issues in the past
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] andrawer:
My Rearth arrived (via Amazon) and it fits nice.

HOWEVER, after seeing my son's case-less Galaxy S III screen shatter this Sunday after a short drop from his car to the Church parking lot:angel:...I decided I will stick with my gray body-glove case. It's actually not that much bigger than the Rearth.

I may use the Rearth when I'm sporting dress clothes but that isn't often these days.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aimfire72:
Mine was loose as well, ordered from eBay. I sent them a message via eBay and they said the case must've been "defective" and sent me out a new one at no charge. They didn't ask me to send the other one back either. Hope the new one fits better, great customer service at least!

Got mine from Amazon, and its got some movment up and down, returning it, overall I think the nillkin has better quality.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MiguelHogue:
I'm surprised at the amount of cases where people say they have play.. Mine fit snug.. But I don't like this case anymore though.. Looking for a little more protection and a grippy back.. Hate the finish on this and all the finger prints.. Tried to ignore the but I can't

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] allen2oo3:
No side to side movement but if it push on the top or bottom of the phone it'll move a bit. Fit is def not as good as the galaxy nexus case. It'll do for now but I'll be replacing it soon. From amazon
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Phlip00ws6:
Mine should be in tomorrow, ill update if its loose or not. Just going to use it until I can get my hands on a sprint bodyglove though, looks like it offers more protection without being too bulky.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pgreeny69:
Had mine for a couple of weeks. Finally got my phone and much to my disappointment it is loose on the left side. Plan on contacting them for a refund or exchange.

I fear my love for Otterbox is not going to last with this bulky phone...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chuhsi:
Just put on my white base. A little loose up and down. Going to return it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
This "bulky phone" is the thinnest phone I have ever owned. Shear screen square footage might be daunting, but after dropping my last phone and not receiving a single bit of damage, while equipped with an OtterBox... I would venture to guess if anything, our phones would benefit from the addition of OtterBox (even with the horrible pricing). Now, if UAG ever came out with a case for our phone, it would be game over!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Phlip00ws6:
My case has a tiny bit of play up and down. Its not enough to make me think it would actually come out, but it may be enough to scratch the back up, especially if some sand gets back there.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] thejron:
I have play in both directions. :(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] aimfire72:
Just got my free replacement from Rearth... Interestingly this one did not have the grey sticker on the inside and fits a little better than the first one they sent me. Still a little loose at top and bottom, but not as bad as the first. So I took the case off and tried bending the bottom corners in with my hands and bit, seems to fit better now, much snugger fit. Btw, people in the Nexus 4 forum are having the same issues with their Rearth cases as well, loose fit, etc.

Anyways, after all this, I've found that I prefer the official Samsung case I've been using, lol. It's not too bulky and offers better protection. I'll still keep the Rearth anyways though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Phlip00ws6:
Grey sticker?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ScooterG:
Me too. Body Glove fits nicer and has more grip.
