Just got mine today! The free TPU case that comes with it is actually considerably thicker and protects the screen better than the Bodyglove TPU case that I originally had. The Flygrip is really awesome too.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] liviococcia:
It's a good product, it would be nice though, if when using it as a stand in landscape mode, that the slot system of pushing the finger guard into this slot, was more a clip/catch affair that could be used to lock it into stand mode for both portrait and landscape use, and that for bigger phones and particularly for the SNote2, that when using the Flygrip in portrait stand mode, that the finger brace part could be slightly longer so that it would stand further forward, and that the back part of the product doesn't cover the rear speaker as this could remain the same length.

I got the flygrip and the TPU case.

I traced the flygrip pad on the TPU case and then cut out the rectangle.

Then mounted the flygrip directly to the back of the phone, and put on the TPU case.

It makes it 50% slimmer. :)

My only problem with the flygrip is that in portrait mode it is too top heavy and good only for viewing, any tapping on the screen will topple the phone over.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] juanaraya92679:
What size do you have? The site said the large one may not have that issue
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] redrider54:
i have the large and u can only view in portrait.. any tapping will make it fall. landscape is perfect though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hausman:
Just to clarify...I mounted it upside down ON PURPOSE....

I have medium (arguably I should have gotten large but it still works for me). Since there was no position at all that worked as a portrait kickstand, I decided to try something this morning. Mounting it upside-down makes it more stable as a landscape kickstand, and I can actually open and use it more easily with one hand this way.

Since I mounted it off-center I can also raise/lower the landscape kickstand angle just by flipping to the other side. Left side is more vertical, right side is closer to 45 degrees. It is less stable on the right side, but I think it would still work on a tray table.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mzimand:
I think you mounted it upside down
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hausman:
Really?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wekebu:
I mounted mine higher up that the guy at FlyGrip recommended. For me, it isn't top heavy. The bottom part of the FlyGrip cuts across the center of the words, " Galaxy No". I find it very balanced in my hand. Mind you, I can't get portrait to work either, but I mostly want landscape anyways.

I just ordered a large white, red case and extra sticky stuff. Hopefully it is red and not pinkish.

Low cost alternative: Thick rubber band

I thought seriously about buying this but it has prohibitively high cost and IMHO adds ridiculous bulk to the phone; something I am adamantly against. My solution is as follows:

Attach a thick rubber band. Pictures are attached.

Things to consider. I don't know how secure the flygrips are but this obviously isn't perfect. Though I must say with some very vigorous shaking on a tight rubber band it holds up pretty well. Even works upside down. Still not tight enough? Add another rubber band!

Pros:

+ Free

+ ultra slim, basically no added bulk

+ leaves no residue

+ usable with all cases

+ HIGHLY replaceable and removable

Cons:

- looks cheap (because it is)

- no kickstand feature

- two-handed operation to get into position

- isn't completely secure

I'm looking to upgrade to a black rubber band in the future.

I ordered one with the free note 2 case. I received it in the mail today. I love the clip and the free case is great! I'm a very happy customer!

hausman, You mounted it upside down for sure.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] hausman:
ZOMG reading comprehension fail. For the last time...I mounted mine upside down ON PURPOSE and the medium size works great as a kickstand that way...it is too easy for me to push over when mounted right side up and mounted near the bottom of the phone.. Mine doesn't stand up in portrait anyway so it doesn't matter that it's upside down.

This is the ugliest thing I have even seen and unless you are a hobbit you should be able to hold your phones with one hand. I cant understand how you choose to glue this on your beautiful phones?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bgowland:
I won a Flygrip a few months ago. Had an iPhone 4 then. Was great. Except I have a dash mount and I had to take my case off to put my phone in the mount. This is stopping me from putting it on my Note 2 because I don't really want to take the case off and on twice a day.

I did test it out with some temporary double sided tape to try to find a good position and it kept tipping over in portrait.

Well Mr Frodo some people need help with their taste. Really can you explain to me what is the benefit of having this ugly thing on your beatiful phone? Can you hold it with one hand and write with the other?

Just in case check this out.

The ability to walk while carrying stuff with one hand and being able to send out a text using swiftkey keyboard. All at the same time. You know, multitask.

The ability to touch the upper left of the screen and the lower right of the screen without adjusting grip and without worry of dropping the phone.

I understand the appearance isnt for everyone. But you shouldn't belittle people for using a product that provides better grip; especially since you don't have any experience with it.

I've had one of these for a out a year now. Great product for one handed operation. For me, the only downside is it topples when laying on a flat surface. I go back and forth using it or not using it. I definitely recommend trying, though expensive.

I have one and I really like it. It's not "glued" to my phone. ..It's stuck on my androidified cruzerlite tpu case.

I don't think it's ugly. Just because you don't like how it looks doesn't make you right and me wrong.

WTH? that thing is ugly! I wouldn't fugly up my new beautiful device with something like that. I can hold it just fine with one hand without something like that stuck to the back. As a side note. That is WAY too much to spend for something like that. I would give 5 bucks top if I really had issues holding it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
There are a few reasons keeping me from getting one of these:

1. It's an ugly chunk of metal on the back of my sleek phone.

2. For drop protection I just use a lariat fed through the speaker hole in the battery cover. Never drop my phone.

3. I never text with just my thumb.

4. Seems it world make the Note unstable when writing on a flat surface. The wobble would annoy me.

5. $30 seriously? $20 tops.

6. Did I mention it's ugly?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gpgalanis:
It is good to see that I am not the only one with taste.

Also I see that this is mainly bought in USA and similar variatons of this are called lazy hands. No taste and lazyness. Enough said.

It's pretty funny passionate people are for disliking this.

I have owned the white one since I've had my Verizon note 2 and I love it because I like doing one handed typing with swipe and Unfortunately it's to uncomfortable to do without the flygrip. I could see how some would dislike the look of the device but personally it doesn't bother me.

Thanks everyone for giving their feedback, even the negative.

I loved the hobbit comment especially lol I kind of have hobbit hands and a sense of humor. :)

My only advice or discretion is to know that the white one isnt even close to the white color of the note. Or at least mine wasnt. If different for others id like to know because maybe i got a defective one. The actual clip is a glossy yellow white haze. Hard to explain but its not white. Also I received the free white case and it discolored easily, my new levis left the case looking grey. It looks kind of cool and unique and I like the feel of the case, plus for being free it gives better protection then most other cheap tpu cases on ebay your local mall kiosk.

So people know my con is placement of the flygrip is limites because I tend to switch from right handed to left handed typing and placing the flygrip in the middle of the phone is just not comfortable. Ive decided to off center it for right handed use. Also portrait mode is impossible for my placement of the flygrip.

Good luck on your choice.

My hobbit hands. Troll away. Haha

Funny that all the talk of "ugliness" or more accurately... perceived ugliness. ..made me think of that Angel wing cover too! But a few people over there commented that they thought it was "so cute!" so. ..whatever. If they like it it's no skin off my nose.

The world would be a pretty boring place if we all liked the same things.

A pseudo alternative: Fosmon Kickstand Case

Fosmon HYBO-SK Series PC + TPU Hybrid Kickstand Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II / N7100 - Black - $2.52

http://www.amazon.com/Fosmon-HYBO-S...keywords=samsung+galaxy+note+2+case+kickstand

I have multiple cases. But this one by far is my fav and was also the cheapest!!

Its very slick with a kickstand to watch movies in landscape mode (would you ever watch something in portrait mode?!)

Added bonus, which I found out very accidently, is that the kickstand can be placed between your index and middle finger for drop protection when holding with one hand! It has to be your left hand though (kick stand opens to the left). You can still use your right, but then you have a think stand between your middle and ring finger. I don't mind for either hand but definitely more comfortable with the left hand.

And if by any chance if I do drop it, the case is there for protection!!

I have small hands and this is a life-saver, when I take the bus and read novels/news on my awesome Note 2 while standing up holding onto a pole with 1 hand. I have never dropped the phone (knock on wood).

Plus its under $3!!! So why not just try it and see before spending $30?

Did you have to send in the old Flygrip?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lincman:
I've used Flygrip for a few months now, and honestly its a waste of money.

Since then, I've found the THINGSLING, which essentially is the same thing, except its just a very thick and strong elastic band.

Because the ThingSling is a elastic band you slip your fingers into, you can choose to use one, two or three fingers. You aren't "fixed" in putting your two fingers in the Flygrip vertically, which I found to be unnatural, uncomfortable and even painful at times.

The Flygrips main addition is the fact that it can be propped as a stand, but in my experience, the Note 2 is TOO LARGE and heavy for the Flygrip to hold the phone up in any position other than landscape. I also noticed that because of the thickness of the Flygrip, the phone doesn't lay flat correctly when the phone is placed on a flat surface. Rather annoying when the stand doesn't even hold the phone up otherwise.

The best part about the Thingsling? Its only $9.99. If you use the free shipping coupon which is $2 dollars off, its 10 bucks flat. Compared to the $30 + shipping for the Flygrip which is basically a piece of plastic.

No brainer. :)

EDIT* I know my post sounds like a advertisement, but I bought and paid for both of these items, and am sharing the experiences I've had with both.
​
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] HKSpeed:
where can i find that coupon?

Edit: nevermind. I found a $1 off coupon for liking them on facebook.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Xelstyle:
Flygrip was certainly pricey but after using it for 4 months, I can't imagine using the Note 2 without it. My medium size hands found the large to be comfortable and having instant landscape mode is awesome. Time to time portrait is doable but unstable if you're pressing buttons.

It's a shame but also a fact of life that having a natural or added kickstand ability will mean the phone is uneven when flat.

Unfortunately the first one I got was part of a bad batch but FlyGrip replaced it free of charge and crediting me back the money used to send the faulty one back.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mike61096:
I think it is a necessity. I always use mine since I bought it, and the free case was a nice touch. This is the 1 accessory all Note 2 owners should have. You can't really understand how much you would love the FlyGrip until you actually have one installed on your phone
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TMPOOLE:
Use mine everyday

I ordered one the same day I ordered my phone. Biggest decision I had was where to install on my Trident Aegis case.

Works great when reading and I can use as stand in both portrait and landscape. (although I can see where someone might have a problem in portrait if not properly placed on case).

Bought extra sticky stuff in case I had to reapply, but haven't had to. My first attempt worked great. Just let it set for a couple days before I used. I didn't use the spare case they sent with my order.

$30 isn't unreasonable for it's utility. I certainly don't regret my purchase.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RTC88:
Has anybody had their flygrip break? I'm asking because mine broke about a month ago...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] TMPOOLE:
All things that have moving parts will fail eventually. Report it and see what they do or buy another. I thought about buying a spare, but figured I could just remove the entire thing and try to warranty or buy another if necessary.

I'm actually surprised at how well this thing is constructed, but at the end of the day it's plastic held together with a couple pins and springs.

Be interested in hearing about your luck in getting a replacement Flygrip under warranty.
