[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Err0xx:
I bought the black Samsung hard plastic case and love it. Sleek with great protection. I'm also using one of the belt holsters off of eBay that fits the Note 2 with case like a glove. I fear pocket lint so a belt holster is a must for me.

Working good so far. Was gonna just get this until otterbox released a case but I might be sticking with this. The Samsung case is really nice.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Err0xx:
Don't like the Nillkin one because it leaves the top and bottom too exposed. The Rearth the one from Amazon protects the top and bottom better without adding any bulk.

My vote is for the Rearth from Amazon.

I'm using Sprint BodyGlove case.

Its Slim , Strong , fits perfect & looks good.

The price is a little high but well worth
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JdeFalconr:
So far my GN2 is naked except for a screen protector I need to install. I really don't like adding bulk to the thing but the phone feels so fragile (at least compared to the Lumia 900 I came from) that I think I might cave and get a case for it. I just want something super thin...this phone is big enough as it is.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] raduque:
I'll be searching for half a year for a case that holds credit cards, like the one I currently have on my GS2.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jgorniak:
I'm using the Rearth also, but it lifts the GN2 off of the charging stand just enough to make it lose contact with the charger. I'll need to do a little Dremel'ing on the stand.

I have a couple of extra cases and I'm contemplating on selling the original Samsung back case..

I'm using this case along with my ExtremeGuard screen protector.

http://www.amazon.com/Black-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy-GT-N7100/dp/B009C06JV8/ref=pd_sim_cps_14

Feels really good...thin, flexible, easy to put on/take off. Cutouts match perfectly. I'm totally good to go with this setup.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] burnnhell:
I'm going with the rearth slim for now. Not going to do much if I drop it but it'll keep the scratches away. Almost like there's not even a case on it. Love it so far.

I just pulled the trigger on this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009S40EDM/ref=ox_ya_os_product, I will let you know once I have it. The general cover (for S3, note2, etc.) has great reviews, along with the maker (Mercury). Also, i like how the the small lip comes all the around the phone. We'll see when it gets here. Need something on this big thing, i'm always afraid i'll drop it.

now im looking at the eel skin one to.. the multicolor might throw me off but I just love the idea of having my cards with me all in one spot

almost looks skinnier then the first one.

i need to find something else for those nights when I go out drinking and Ill need to hand my phone to people to take group pictures, not keen on handing my phone, cards and license over in one package to people I usually dont know.

I'm wondering just how slim these aluminum bumpers are too maybe put that on and leave on inside the case.

aluminum bumper

apparently the naked phone did well in the drop test on you tube and looking at all these videos the glass seems to handle scratches well.. now im almost thinking just get a screen protector and the bumper guard

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rawdikrik:
I am very interested in these bumper things. I don't want to really increase the size of the phone much but I do want some corner protection, just in case.

Maybe we should start a bumper only thread... seems like those posts are getting lost here.

I've had the seidio active case on my evo 4g, 3d, and got another one for the note II. Love it. its good at protecting the phone, and this one has a kickstand. I love the look too
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jeffokada81:
I purchased 2 cases becuase they were so cheap on ebay. I ended up using the one with kickstand.

Links to close up pictures so this may help someone decide on one:

http://s38.beta.photobucket.com/user/jeffokada81/media/XDA/Case2/DSC00063.jpg.html

(non-kickstand)

http://s38.beta.photobucket.com/user/jeffokada81/media/XDA/Case1/DSC00076.jpg.html

The case with the kickstand is not hardened plastic around the borders with rigid grip surfaces. The non-kickstand version is all plastic and smooth but definitly not as smooth as stock phone surface.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] uncorq:
Just got this one -- I have the flip case, and while smooth and slick as h*ll, wasn't useful in my car mount (flap would sling closed when I needed to see gps, etc.)

Ordered and got this one (in sort of an aqua blue I'm not crazy about, but I ordered it without really looking) using it for last 3 days and the quality is decent, the kickstand is solid and I bought one of the iHome *Android* clock radios, adjusted the microsb stub and it slips in PERFECTLY. Probably a little tighter than designed, but not forced, and the phone does not feel wobbly. So the case for me, is a win.

I *may* be ordering one in a color I like just a little better but the bumper protection/quality feel solid.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] clovis_ll:
Its alright case. Some say its too bright but idk yellow is my favorite color. It is a "gel" case so its soft but still retains its shape. The only thing I kinda don't like is its a bit slippery but not as much as a naked note 2..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
Currently using this case while at work (Military) to give it some protection and covering the screen at the same time. I can't tell you enough how I appreciate the fact that my screen doesn't get oil on it from my face. Sounds silly, but it works!

Case that clips into car dock?

Does anyone know of a case that works well with a car dock? An idea that I had was for example a case that clips into both a belt holster and a car dock. I guess an alternative would be to buy a generic car dock that can hold the Note II with a reasonably thick case. Any suggestions?

Thanks!

Is this one able to act as a stand for the phone?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] emeraldayotte:
Agreed there isnt enough information on these bumpers and I'm VERY interested in one.

Surprised by this. Is the size increase substantial compared to the TPU?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kingofkings11:
The bumper in this particular picture is garbage. I got one from ebay for my note 1 (it was from the states not a cheap one from china) - it added more size to the phone than you would think. Also the front plate gets loose after a while and will pop off by just being in your pocket.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] :
Is there a TPU that matches the Grey exactly?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Excelus:
I just use a bestskinsever skin. It'll protect against normal scratches from keeping it in my pocket or on a table and the screen seems somewhat resistant to cracking when dropped from the drop test on YouTube. I was thinking of going without a case or skin as the bezel and back are easily replaceable (unlike the s2 where you had to remove the screen to change the bezel) but opted to go with a skin for more grip.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ChrisEmerson:
Tech 21 something or other. Impact case. Covers the back and sides, and slightly protudes to protect the top, bottom and front.

Why? Because I got it for nothing.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] sami3000:
After trying many cases. I find original samsung tpu case to be the best looking and functional. And in term of flip case i loved trideo case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ZedZardoz:
Yes, I have one if these are purple. They are cheap enough to get several in different flavors. Just take care when insert/removing the phone , the rigid back (for the stand) will stress if bent without care.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] DeRock13:
Picked up the Boxwave TPU with the Kickstand. Forgot what the model name is, but at $5 with shipping from Amazon, I couldn't deny some form of protection until I decide which amount of protection I might need.

I didn't use any more than a TPU case on my original Note but I may be changing jobs in the next couple of months and might need to get an Otterbox or similar.

Yea it feels alot better in my hands then that bodyglove did. Its just a little bit thicker then the bodyglove giving me more confidence incase of a drop vs the bodyglove. The bodyglove is a nice case and dose offer nice grip just dong think its the case for someone like me who works in construction.

Just got the Body Glove Case from T Mobile. The LAST one in stock! Been to at least 10 stores so far and I finally found one. Very sleek case, doesn't add bulk too much. There is a lip but its the perfect amount. I hate the cheapo gel cases with a huge lip yet barely fit... I'd much rather pay 25 for a good quality case than scrimp on a 5$ piece of crap.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] interfreak:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] russds:
Well, I got it. First impression: the "black" color has sparkly, tiny glitter things in it. They are unnoticeable in the dark, but in the bright light, they show. Hard to explain, but it's definitely not just flat black, like i was expecting. It's not a deal breaker, because it's not that noticeable, but it was a surprise. It fits really well. A tad bigger than I thought, I was hoping for super tiny (the phone is big enough by its self) but also hoping for some protection, so I guess it's fine. Overall: feels good to have some protection on it, but will keep looking for something hopefully smaller, more grip, and no sparkly.
