UAG "clipped" on a belt, best option, so far

I have learned the hard way to go for maximum protection first, then add what else you need. The best protective case for the Note 2 is the UAG. I use the Black version called Scout. http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/galaxy-note-ii/products/black-note-ii-case The only ting missing for me was a way to "clip it" on my belt. I tried several different clips from other vendors, and ended up breaking the belt clip off the holster. (I even tried the CONVERT® Holster, same problem).. For me , the best solution, ended up getting an inexpensive leather case (2 models, Horizontal & Vertical) with a built-in metal belt clip. These models fit the Note 2 while in the UAG case.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/Vertical-Le...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4ac329bb4e

Which one I end up using, depends on where the belt loops are on the pants I am wearing each day.

Mine happens to be warped too how can I get a new one?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rlee008:
update:

I sent UAG a pic of my peeling case and they will warranty replace it. they're sending me a replacement and i don't have to send them back my damaged one. excellent customer service in my book.

thanks UAG!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] borijess:
Did u have to provide proof of purchase? I got mine in a trade.

Sent from the TermiNOTEr 2! ;)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rlee008:
yeah, i had to provide the order number. i got my case off the UAG site with a $10 off coupon someone posted up a while back so it was all legit.

i remember reading somewhere that it doesn't matter where you get the case from, they'll warranty it. (i'll look it up)

try contacting

UPDATE:

from the UAG site:

Q: Is my product covered under your warranty if I make my purchase on Amazon ?*

A: Yes! Our manufacturer's warranty covers your product regardless of the place of purchase.*

then under warranty it says:

This limited warranty is non-transferrable from the original end purchaser and an original copy of a sales receipt from the original UAG Authorized reseller is required for warranty action on behalf of UAG.

Where can I get the UAG number? I bought it from Amazon so...

---------- Post added at 07:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 07:31 PM ----------

Can anyone provide me with the order number?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rlee008:
provide them with the Amazon order number. Amazon is an authorized dealer so they can track it down and provide you with a warranty replacement

Those are pretty... I think I'm going to have to order one!

Great to hear
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
I presume that since I've bought mine from eBay, that it won't be covered by their warranty?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] redrob820:
Not true, we'll at least for me anyways. I bought mine from eBay and I told them about the fit being very loose and they just gave me a promo code for a new case and asked that I send back the old case. They did tell me that eBay is not a authorized retailer but that was it. No invoice or proof of purchase of any kind. Great CS but it does blow that the new case has almost the same defect just not as bad this time.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Optimistic Pessimist:
I see, thanks for that.

When you say 'promo code', do you mean a coupon code to buy another case but from the UAG store at a reduced price? If that's the case, then that doesn't really sound like it being handled under 'warranty', but instead making you buy another case without the warping issue, and sending them the old case. Unless the discount is significant enough to not be an issue, i.e 50% or more.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] redrob820:
No the promo code was for a totally free replacement directly from the uag site. I'm more than happy with their cs, after seeing the pay off a revised case I was a little more disappointed that I didn't Hey the revised model but I can't complain really. I got the car for about $23 plus the $4 to ship back the old case. All in all I'm happy with this case. ;)

How do I return my uag for warranty after I receive it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dr.m0x:
I've tried several cases on the most important device in my life. None have really satisfied to date. The only reason I've held off in the uag is that I can't find them locally. I've given up on all the other options though. Otterbox is too bulky, other cases offer insufficient drop protection. I ordered a uag direct off their website today and eagerly await it's arrival.

So, I ordered a UAG on amazon about 3 weeks ago, and it was defective (loose fit around headphone jack), just like many others. I decided last week to rma it for a replacement through Amazon, since people were saying that their replacements have been of better quality. Just got my replacement, and it has the same issue. Maybe worse. I think I'm going to do a warranty replacement through UAG directly. Hopefully that will be the end of it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yonukyo:
The UAG case I purchased off of Amazon developed a couple of defects after only 2 weeks of use. I took pictures of the defective case and submitted the form on the UAG website last Thursday (6/27) & got a response within 12 hours. I was given a code to order a new case on their website at no cost. I ordered the replacement case Thursday evening and already received it today (Monday 7/1).

They didn't even want my defective one returned to them (I had a warped bottom left corner and the defect around the headphone jack/notification light). Excellent customer service & record turnaround time.

Curious if those of you that buy cases directly from the UAG website have better luck than those that buy thru Amazon (or other authorized reseller)? Just trying to figure out if the cases purchased from thru the UAG site are more likely to be NOT be defective.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RDI:
I bought my case direct (under that assumption) and my case is perfect.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] minazaki:
Thanks for the input. I will be contacting UAG this week. Shouldn't have wasted my time RMAing with Amazon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] downhillvinnie:
These cases look good and protect awesome
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dr.m0x:
My scout arrived in just four days direct from the uag website. It's a great case, providing great protection. It does add a little bulk to the device but it's within an acceptable boundary unlike, say, the otterbox defender.

Submitted a warranty claim on the UAG website Sunday, got a response today. They are shipping a replacement free of charge, and I don't have to ship back the defective case. Incredible customer service. :good:

Will update when I get the replacement.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kousik:
Last a few pages of this thread makes me thinking ... is it safe to order from Amazon? Do they have the new batch now? Or should I order from UAG site itself (more than $15 difference)? If not UAG, is the only alternative is Otterbox (defender)?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rwolfe88:
i too have a defective case from amazon so i went an filled the form out an click submit but did any of you who did this get a confirmation email or anything saying they received your request?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] coiledwire:
I purchased the black UAG thru amazon several months ago. I was sent the updated model with the more squarish shape, matte "rubber", and improved pegs for the colored panel.

It's been in daily use, and I have no issues to report.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kousik:
So looks like it is a lottery - I may be lucky or may not. And I'll try to avoid the painful RMA route, so I'd rather make a safe purchase and have peace of mind. Interestingly all these defect reports are here in this thread - none of the reviews in amazon website discusses such a common issue.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] minazaki:
Got my replacement yesterday, and it's perfect. UAG gets a big :thumbup: from me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D.O.C:
No more illegal/cheating talk, please stay on topic.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yonukyo:
i returned it as an experiment. if uag doesn't communicate with amazon to verify order numbers or notify them that a warranty replacement was sent out so amazon won't issue a refund it's not my fault. I am not gonna tell either how to run their business. so what if i discovered a loophole & proudly exploited it? jealous you didn't have the guts to try?

wanna know something else? I bought the case on amazon used from amazon warehouse deals. uag's warranty policy says the warranty isn't transferable. so technically because I wasnt the original owner of the case I shouldn't have been sent a warranty replacement either.

oh no i must be suffering from a complete moral & ethical lapse & am surely going to hell. yeah right. am I supposed to feel guilty about what any of this cuz I don't. besides if what I did was so dishonest & wrong i wouldn't have been sent a replacement or issued a refund.

resetting the flash counter, unrooting & reflashing stock firmware for warranty repair or replacement, DIY free phone unlocking, installing custom roms & audio mods, porting apps from other devices, etc can all be construed as "cheating" to some degree so i suggest you quit passing judgment from from atop your ivory tower because i'm not the only "cheater" on xda i'm just one of the few on here with balls to brag about it. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
you obviously feel guilty, or you wouldn't feel the need to defend your actions..

any time you use deceptive means to realize financial gain, its cheating, plain and simple...being one of many cheaters somehow justifies it?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] yonukyo:
If anyone can point out the exact subsection of Amazon's return policies it says that returning a defective item after obtaining a warranty replacement from the manufacturer is cheating or another type of illegal activity that warrants prosecution from the law I'd gladly authorize amazon reverse the refund they issued me & turn myself into the authorities.

Until then seems people are confused between what's illegal & what's immoral.

Well it is a long time dead thread but maybe I can get an anser. Lets try:

My old case falling apart and I'am thinking about a new case for my N7100. I like the hybrid cases so this should be an ideal choice, but can I fit a standard bank card instead of the color plastic insert? That would be the ideal mobile payment platform :) Paypass based payments without the mobile app/screen stupidity.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] RDI:
The card that comes with it is white on one side and orange on the other. You don't have to use it. Or make one of your own. It's purpose is to make the phone easier to spot if put face down on a dark surface.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Esalazar0311:
I replaced an otterbox defender with this one. Great case. Less bulky.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] pbanj:
i have this case for my note 2 and i have to say it is my favorite case out of all the cases i have used over the years on different phones. it adds enough to the phone to make it feel like its not going to snap in half but not so much that it makes the phone feel bulky.

i just checked and u would have to cut off the little pegs that are used to hold the little cards that come with it to be able to have a cc in there

The Samsung Flip cover makes daily operation more difficult, although it looks good. Have you tried using a car mount with it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mexiking713:
I meant the official samsung tpu case. I dont own a flip cover. Seems cool but not very practical. The tpu case is awesome but the back scratches from just looking at it. Wish the finish in the back was mate not glossy but oh well its a very good case but I need more protection.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] D17Gaming:
I was looking at cases for about 2 weeks with no luck. I got an email from Amazon on Android accessories and saw UAC for GSIII and was disappointed there isn't any for note 2. Happy to know it'll be here soon.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I'm kind of in a similar boat. Looked at Commuter first, but didn't like how slippery was the outer plastic shell. Bought Defender, but couldn't stand that screen protector (returning it back). I will miss the level of protection that case offers, but for sure will not miss the bulk. Now, I went back to my cheapo ebay case, the first one in that post: http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=36730711&postcount=715 - at least something temporary to cover the phone and give a level of protection.

The same here, as soon as I saw the post - rushed to place an order. Getting white/Navigator. I guess the color choice for now will be a set of different inserts?

---------- Post added at 08:04 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:58 AM ----------

If you refer to the one in my link, its sort of a knock off of Commuter and on par in thickness. Dirt cheap ebay case (you can probably get it for $6 now), but its nowhere near Commuter quality. Its less slippery on the back and has built-in kickstand, but inner rubber case is looser letting dust underneath. It's a decent case for temporary use though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LaDoyers:
Just finished placing an order for the Scout, didn't notice an option for colored inserts. Worked for Home Depot for two years, the color orange absolutely infuriates me to the point where my eyelid will start twitching. Might just make my own color laminated inserts. I'll post some pics once the case arrives.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LaDoyers:
Supposedly it's half off but it didn't go through.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
That code for Casemate Tough Case, not UAG. I think the info got mixed up since somewhere there was a reply without a quote, so it's hard to figure out which one it was talking about. FRIENDS50 definitely doesn't work with UAG, and I haven't tried it with Tough Case either but it was mentioned in content of Casemate Tough Case.

Doesn't seem like it would be too hard to print a pattern on a colored piece of paper, laminate it, and cut it to size.

I hate to undercut UAG here.. But with the way it's going, they'll probably make the inserts $10 a pop.

And put a delivery date of "early August"..

i just tried this code and it went through... but it discounts $10 not 10% so i placed my order. (discount is 25% off!)

maybe the insert is one piece, black on one side and orange on the other?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
Definitely one piece..

You could be right on the double sided color though!

I'm gonna take a wild guess and say that the case colors available for other phones are the colors that they will try to stick with for the inserts. It doesn't seem like there is much color deviance between phone models of the old-style cases..

So the insert from the OP would be the Outland case color, I believe.

The only thing that assures me that I have ordered the correct one (it's really early here and I just woke up and slightly dazed lol) is that it says it's normally 40, with 10 dollars off.
