I had a few Otterbox holsters for various phones and for me it was fifty fifty, some was lose some was tight as hell, some would wiggle. It was luck of the draw
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] breakingcustoms:
my S3's clip had some wiggle, but my Maxx HD did not...it really is 50/50
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chevel4172:
My pictures of the Note 2 in the Otter defender case along with a size comparison between Note II, S3, and SII in cases.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fadilkarim:
Hey guys ive never had an Otterbox before and was thinking of getting one for my note 2. I bought my phone off contract for 700 bucks so i really dont want to take any chances..

The defender seems awesome but i want my phone to still fit in my pockets! do you the commuter would fit in my pockets or still be too thick?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jeckel51:
I wouldnt see why not. I can fit my note 2 with defender in my pocket.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
The Defender would fit but might want to see it in person bc it might be too big for you; it was for me so getting Commuter bc its the perfect balance imo
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fadilkarim:
Dang! what kind of pants do you wear? haha i wear slim straight jeans so they are a little tighter than normal. i think ill bite the bullet and get the commuter and hope it fits!

---------- Post added at 02:52 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:50 PM ----------

Yeah i have a feeling the defender would be to hardcore for me. What store could i see the commuter in person?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
I heard Sprint has both but YMMV

Oyeah I also bought it off contract so I am pretty paranoid myself lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fadilkarim:
Ill call up a couple stores and see which ones have them:)

lol yeah i cant even imagine if dropped my baby. I promised myself that i wont get a new phone anytime soon so might as well get an otter box;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bakarus:
Just got mine today but to my horror I got a defective one. Everything works great but the fact that mine isn't perfect bothers me :'(
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
What's wrong with it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
lol I have the same defect but its not so obv since mine is darker color (grey shell, knight overall)

Its not so obv if you haven't seen it before.. The thing that looks like a scar but I think is a manufacturing error, (probably) doesn't affect the case or use
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
I have that too. It doesn't bother me at all. Why be so bummed out over that?

OCD is a motherFu**er
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fadilkarim:
Where is this scar that you speak of? I'm going to order mine son and want to make sure I don't get something defective and don't notice it. Although it can't be that big of a deal if it's not noticeable lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] loktite:
Look on the near side of the case, just left of middle.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
I have the same thing on my Defender as well. Problem is, mine is so bad the shell does not snap together and stay that way.... it creaks and pops where you see that defect. I called Otterbox and they are sending me out another. I actually thought I did it myself somehow being too rough when taking it apart, etc.. but my defect looks exactly like the one in the pic. Weird to see it on another case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Wickedares:
Screen protector defect?

mine has that same scar defect also. i have the glacier color. i don't mind that defect though.

i want to see if anyone else has this problem of the other note 2 defenders. right out of the box mine built in screen protector doesn't sit flush with the phone screen i think min has like a millimeter of travel before it actually hits the screen at the top its fine but at the bottom you can feel when you type on the keyboard your finger contacting the protector then contacting the phone screen.

does anyone else have this problem?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scoobmd:
I had a black defender from Sprint that did not have the scar. Is this a Glacier model defect only?

Anyway, the screen not sitting flush is a common thing. I had the same problem on mine and I read about others trying a second screen protector on their phone and then putting it inside the case or taking off the Defender screen protector- there is an ebay auction for this "modified" version now.

I also didn't like that I had to wedge a piece of paper into the Volume rocker to make it work without breaking my fingers to press it...

I wouldn't have minded if the case wasn't $59.99 + tax.

I hope the Otterbox people read these comments.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Wickedares:
well i just removed my screen protector from the case. Couldnt be more happy. i will buy a phone screen protector for it and that will eliminate any dust it would have gotten between the otterbox screen and the phone screen this way. and the stylus didnt really glide that well on the otterbox screen protector

the volume and power buttons are solid but i dont have any issues pressing them i prefer that they are that firm cause alot of times i have my fingers accedently on the volume keys to brace the phone when i push the power button. and on with my little case and without a case i would hit the volumes keys all the time now i dont.

now i just need a screen protector that plays nice with the stylus
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Old MuckenMire:
I have the defect with the Knight color. So it's at least Glacier and Knight. I will report back once I get my Knight replacement and let everyone know if it has the defect as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] blaxican25:
Just got my case today only thing I don't like is the glare on the built in screen protector but the case fits snug to the note 2. Overall it fells safe in the case and easy to hold. :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] 00mred00:
my black one has the defect as well
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Just got my knight today. It has the scar, but I could honestly care less. It's not like I'm going to see it. First thing I did was pop the screen protector out like I always do with their cases...I just hate screen protectors in general lol. But honestly this is probably one of the best made otterbox cases I've had, and I've had one for just about every phone. The rubber part is a lot more solid than what I've had in the past.

Volume keys are a bit stiff, but I'm honestly okay with that. It'll keep me from accidentally hitting them like I tend to do. I rarely intentionally change the volume on my phone
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
The volume keys are used for more then just changing the volume on the phone.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Not for me they're not.

How do you fast forward tracks when playing music?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Unless you are used to Otterbox Defender cases you need to know this will brick your phone. By that I mean will turn your phone into a "brick". The case itself weighs more than the phone so your phone will more than double in weight. From experience you WILL notice this. The phone WILL feel quite heavy.

To get a feel, hold your phone and another phone in your hand at the same time. That's how heavy it will be.

That being said if it is worth it to you to have a very safe but very heavy phone go for it. Also, rather than a slim sleek barely noticable phone in your pocket you will have... well... a brick. Also the rubber along with the added size makes it a challenge pulling it from your pocket especially if you are sitting down when the phone rings. You might not care but then again you might. Just keep it in mind.

You can use the holster if you don't mind looking like you have a small briefcase on your hip. Not a chick magnet.

Awesome case. Excellent protection. Freakin HUGE.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] scoobmd:
The holster on the hip would go great with the black pocket protector.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
Wearing the holster on the hip isn't that bad unless your scrawny little XDA puke that needs to gain some muscle mass.

The Note 2 is a man phone!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
I will have no problem wearing it on my hip.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nuclearrage:
Now thats freaking funny!!!

Not every dude wears skinny jeans. Some of us knuckle draggin gitterduns like our tech also. We just need to keep it safe from our daily routine. Otterbox on your hip blends in perfectly when you're wearing workboots and carhartts. I have also never had trouble getting my otterboxed phone out of mu Duluth Trading Co. Firehose workpants...

Justvsayin
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Yep, it's an awesome case no doubt. I just posted about the utter HUGENESS of it in the event there might be someone trying to convince themselves sight unseen that it won't be that big. It will be that big. But for some folks, that's all good :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Exactly this when I'm working. Then in the evenings or weekends, when I slip into my Hugo Boss attire or the like ;) my sleek slim cases take on the Note 2 protection duty.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bmoreboy02:
Man i got lucky! I had jury duty today and on our lunch break i walked to the sprint store. I asked if they had any otterboxes they said no but then the guy said hold on a second i think a tech is selling his. Aparently sprint gave hom an otterbox as a christmas gift. I asked him how much he said ehhhh....give me 40 bucks. And what do ya know brand new knight defender
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] stang9779:
How much thicker dies the phone get? Does it double it? Also does this car work on all of the versions?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Erik_T:
Yes, the phone about doubles and I'd estimate maybe.. triples in weight? Lol. Maybe just my imagination. But this case actually makes it feel like I am HOLDING something... unlike it was before when I was so afraid that I was going to break it!

I love this thing. It can charge while in the holster, it can act as a little stand landscape. The screen protector is all screwed up with my zagg causing it to be bubbly, but the otterbox piece of crap plastic screen protector is going to get ripped out when it gets scratched and I need some more. ;)

Overall, I finally feel like I have a phone even after owning this thing for a month+ now.

Note: There is no portrait officially. Though, if you take something about an inch high and stick it behind it, it does stay portrait alright. I was just trying it, and it did stay. Not too wobbly, just make sure that your 1 inch stand doesn't slide around too much lol.

I LOVE this case.

Oh, also the holster itself. I had the Ballistic for the Infuse and it sucked. The holster for this thing fits over my belt perfectly and digs it's teeth in just under my belt allowing it to slide really well. The ratcheting clip really ratchets!! It will not swing down. (I like mine landscape at my waist)

Things that I miss:

There are no little screens over the mic ports and the speaker. My ballistic did have this and it was nice for keeping dirt out of these areas. And my final complaint is that the camera cutout is very wide which I feel may make it easier to scratch the lens. But overall, get this case. I don't regret a penny of it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] P1 Wookie:
Well the camera cutout can't be any smaller or else it'd be overlapping it lol
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ashouhdy:
I dont know how u stand this monster xxl super size case in an already big phone , i have the original samsung case and a slim tpu and not happy even with their pretty small size
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mitchellvii:
Just tried one of these on my GN2 yesterday. Here's the deal killer for me:

The plastic screen cover is raised slightly above your phone's screen (so as not to create bubbles I'm assuming). Anyway, the result of this is a slightly "spongey" feel when you touch the screen. Also, the plastic they use is not very smooth and using your stylus creates a "scratchy" sensation - annoying.

I suppose you can take the plastic screen out and use a screen protector, but I have a thing about modifying $60 cases just to use them.

Oh yeah, and your phone is more than twice as heavy with the case on. Good for your forearm development I suppose :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fadilkarim:
Hey, has anyone had issues charging the note 2? Does the dust protecting flap get in the way or push the usb cable to an awkward angle?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Putting it in was the only annoyance, usually I would just flip the phone over and use my index finger to hold the flap back and insert the cable with my other hand.. not a dealbreaker by any means esp when you consider the flap protects the port longterm.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KosanRio:
Got mine yesterday from the local Sprint store as a few people suggested, only had one in stock!

Popped the screen protector out immediately as I always do with OtterBox cases.

Great case though!

(Don't mind the bubbles I'm waiting on another screen protector!)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] fadilkarim:
Yeah it's definately not a deal breaker. My only concern was that the pretty becoming lose over time due to the flaps constant pushing.

Also the Otterbox Defender in the holster is very much so a chick magnet.....

All women love to hold big black things in their hand and put them to their mouth whether they admit it or not

Also the Otterbox only seems big if your not use to holding something big and black on a daily basis.........

Like tires or security radio's or something like that.....

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda-:
Alright great... One more thing... which one would you choose the Galaxy Ace II or the HTC Desire X? They're so evenly matched.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojito0:
tough decision, if I'm not mistaken right now one x misses JB too, although there is a port thread I think..

So let's say if both were to get jb, I would still go for Ace2 just because one x has an adreno 203 running and not adreno 205.
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] panda-:
I think you meant Desire X*

And I think that the desire x has a good advantage is that its RAM is 763MB while the ACE2 is 555MB, that's a big difference. Also, the ACE 2 runs Gingerbread while DX runs ICS 4.0.4. The screen on the DX is also bigger and the processor is a bit overclocked. But the ACE 2's advantages would be the front camera and 720p video. Really tough decision, help? :eek:
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojito0:
Nah mate, you got your facts wrong.

Firstly, despite that is says it got 763 ram, the total usable ram for the user is never the total amount mentioned, just check those->Desire X and Ace2 the amount of ram mentioned in both phones is the same.

Secondly, while Ace2 runs on gingerbread we have official information that we will be getting jelly bean with-in 2 months (at march the latest). On the other hand HTC announced that Desire X won't be getting jelly bean (not officially at least, it is very possible that some people will port either Aosp or CM or w/e)

Thirdly: I don't think that Desire X had overclocked processor but if that's so then Ace2 can easily overtake it in the cpu part as well, you know why? because our processor is not running on it's default speed but it is underclocked from 1Ghz to 800 Mhz, so I guess it could be possible (after we get the appropriate cpu info or w/e) to overclock it to more than 1Ghz

P.S: Ya I meant desire X my bad.

yes flashing holobean will change the color but also change the style, lets say im running on stock lite by aem v1.3, i want to maintain its appearance as stock rom but want to change its status bar elements' color from green to blue, can i just copy the systemui.apk and framework-res.apk and paste it using root browser ? will it take effect without flashing ? :D

and 2nd you can follow this guide which offers much customization as well ->http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=1245404
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Dr01nE:
Do you want just the statusbar icons to be ICS/JB-ish. Or just the stock but colored blue? If you want the first, grab my theme then follow the instructions below:

You need to have 7-zip to make things easier.

1. Grab my theme

2. Grab your SystemUI.apk, framework-res.apk

3. Open my SystemUI.apk with 7-zip (Right-click > 7-zip > Open Archive)

4. Take /res/drawable-hdpi from my SystemUI.apk

5. You can choose what icons you want to replace.

6. After choosing, open up your SystemUI.apk using 7-zip, drag the icons you chose and drop it inside your SystemUI.apk's /res/drawable-hdpi folder.

This step is optional but if you want to change battery then you can follow this too.

7. Open up my framework-res.apk using 7-zip.

8. Take out the battery Icons (I think they look like the stock ICS/JB batteries) also "stat_sys_battery.xml" "stat..charge.xml" (something like that and place them inside your framework-res.apk's /res/drawable-hdpi.

That's it... if you want, i can make a custom theme for you. :D

[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] egps2:
Hi guys I have searched around but can't come to a conclusion where I feel 100% confident so I thought I would ask here. Basically I would really appreciate it if someone could suggest the latest/most stable non-wipe stock rom for an unlocked Galaxy Ace 2 (GT-i8160) without any carrier branding and limited/no bloatware. The device was purchased overseas with a fair bit of bloat so a clean rom would be nice. There are no Australian stock roms I could find (please tell me if there are) but any clean rom meeting the above description would be fine.

Thank you so much to anyone who can help and I apologise if a thread discussing this exists but I could not find it and would be grateful for a link :)

EDIT: So far I believe the Italian I8160XXLL2 (CSC: I8160OXXMA1) is the latest non-wipe unbranded rom but I need confirmation please! Thanks! (non-wipe extremely important)
[Galaxy Ace II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] mojito0:
If you want a clean ROM (Means no extra apps, mods, ****ty****) then aeM is the one. The Italian job has a number of tweaks/mods and also I think it has couple built-in apps. You choose, if you don't mind some extra stuff in the rom then go for Italian job. If you want pure "samsungness" without the bloatware go with aeM.

EDIT: And btw idk why you are looking for a non-wipe rom or w/e but any rom you flash will delete any apps/saves/data you have except if you make backups of everything
