Sorry, I didn't know you owned a UAG case and defender case.

I have both for my GS3 because I ordered the defender before the UAG but now the defender sits in my drawer and has been for a very long time. I can point this out because I actually own them both. Defender is much bulkier and uglier in person, but I didn't see any added real protection and I don't care for bulky cases especially on phones that are already large enough to barely hold one handed.

If your going to criticize a case own them both first and your opinion will count. Sorry for being rude but you seem to have a bad attitude and just joined XDA, and this will not get you far here if you start this in my thread. Your opinions do count but not if they are worded that way.

I can't decide which color to get. AARGH!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mastergrim8:
I'll wait till someone compares the commuter with the UAG case first. I'm loving my commuter and I'm hoping the UAG offers equal or better protection with its obvious slimmer built.

I'm a bit disappointed. After waiting for so long, I was expecting more colours than just black and white.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ctruong17:
Does anyone think that the sound quality may be affected? The holes for the speaker make it so it covers part of it. Such a sexy case though. Damn.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] iamosborne:
I guess I won't be getting either. It says that each case is unavailable. Oh well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] garyart1:
So this is interesting. I have been waiting to order this case from the first time I read about it here. Yesterday I saw the post they were up for sale and immediately ordered a black case. I saw the white one was preorder but the black was listed for sale. I figured maybe they were having an issue getting the white one in stock. Then I saw the add change to preorder later that day and then become unavailble. So I was waiting to receive an email today saying there was a mistake and my case is preordered.

I was shocked to get an email that my case has shipped with a tracking number. It is to early to track it to see if it is valid but will let you know. Keeping my fingers crossed.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] survineer:
I ordered last night when it became available. And immediately got an order confirmation. Just a few minutes ago, I got a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. Hopefully I will have it in a few days.

:good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] metabum:
Me too! I just saw the email and came back here to see if it was just me. I'm hoping they didn't accidentally ship me an s3 case or something. ...

It could be shipping glitch? The tracking number doesn't work yet but they never do until the second or third day...

Been using my case for over a week now, and I mean heavy use of tossing it around, in'n'out of jeans/khakis pocket at work, in'n'out of Columbia jacket outside - never an issue. Plus, I use that exogear knock-off clip as kickstand/handgrip - that one pushes on both sides of the case, still never an issue. And I use my GN2 as navigation for almost 2hr a day during my trip to/from work where it's mounted in a grip - all good!

Take the card insert out. Put the phone inside of the case, then flip it on the table face down (sitting on the lip) and push on the back of the case. That will insure the case pops right in. Take a look at the back through the vents - is it evenly in or not?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] adlzian:
Is anyone using the uag case along with a leather holster? I really need a holster to keep my phone due to my job. I had this case for my s3 with a leather holster and it was great. Only thing holding me back from getting it for the note 2
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ExcuseTheN00b:
I attached an image of my phone coming out the UAG case. I know my pants aren't too tight so I that isn't the issue. I have contacted the seller on Amazon and they are sending me a new one and then I have to send the other one back. Really good people on there that sold me the case to do something like that. I will report back when I have my new case to let everyone know if this new one is fitting better or not. I also tried putting the phone in without the insert and snapping the back on a little harder and it still comes up after about 5 minutes of it being in my pocket. The new case will be in on Tuesday.

Also, in the picture you can see my new Mime glass that I just got yesterday and that also can not be causing the issue because it doesn't even come close to the case lip. I was having the issues before and after putting the glass on.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
Did you check your battery cover? Make sure it's in fully?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mmessina:
You are waisting money. You can cover the insert in duct tape, electrontic tape or plastic. Cut a piece of card board or plastic. I have a dozen inserts. Camo yellow gold silver blue yellow with blue middle. Your imagination is your only limitation,

and if you make the isert thicker the case is snugger. Has anyone tried an extended battery and back? Leave out the insert and bammm:o

Mime and UAG should be sold together I love my combo
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ExcuseTheN00b:
Yea I did check the back. That was one of the first things I did. Everything is snapped together 100%.

---------- Post added at 01:54 PM ---------- Previous post was at 01:47 PM ----------

That is a great idea on using different color tape over the cut outs on the case. And I 100% agree with you that the Mime glass and UAG case should be sold together. They are a perfect match for the ultimate protection and they just look good together.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
Wasn't trying to be condescending or anything. I've noticed plenty of times how awkward a case fits if you don't make sure it's snapped in.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BlueGoldAce:
How is the thickness in comparison to the otterbox commuter? That case was a bit thick for my taste.

I have the incipio dual pro shine, but it scratches too easily...even though the bulk is about perfect.

Any advice here would be great, considering ordering one today.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Uh, I figured out the problem. Its not your case, its your phone - it wants to be naked :silly:

---------- Post added at 05:34 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:31 PM ----------

UAG should be thinner because both layers are molded together and the inner tpu layer is not solid but rather a bumper thus making cutting down on weight and thickness. It will also be lighter.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BlueGoldAce:
Any idea how it compares to the incipio dual pro (shine or matte)?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Sorry, don't have incipio but it's a 2-piece design, right? For sure it will be thicker. Protection, well I'm biased toward UAG with its decent size lip, molded single piece design, corner protection, while still very light weight. If you can read from this thread, most of the people prefer it over other cases, and only a few were disappointed and returned it, and a few mentioned they prefer Trident Aegis over it. So everyone has their own personal preference. For sure - their design is bar none. I guess you can always buy it and if don't like it then return it back?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I guess there hasn't been too much activity in this thread once the excitement of anticipation is gone lol!!!

Well, I asked UAG support a question about any upcoming new colors and/or color inserts, and got back "We have some exciting design announcements this spring".

I assume it's related to Note 2 since I was on a subject of that phone. So what do you guys think its going to be? I can only think of new colors similar to S3/iPhone collection, but it has nothing to do with design. What else could it be, another case or enhancement to a current case, maybe a holster? I wish it would be a holster of some sort since they are marketing this as outdoor "adventure" case, so another layer of protection would be welcome.

They are about the same size. But the incipio case is such a pain to get the phone into. Loving the Uag case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] BlueGoldAce:
Exactly what I was looking for. Thanks!

Glad I ordered my UAG care to replace my incipio , looks like I made the right choice.

Have you tried fitting it into the convert holster with the phone in the uag? Is it snug? If that's the case I will get this over the seidio active. That would be awesome.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dajumper:
Example when you hold the phone! On the sides it is making a noise it means that it is not fit the phone understand? What I mean?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bond32:
Just got mine in much earlier than expected. First impression is wow, this truly is a high quality case. I really have been skeptical but say how successful the one for the S3 was. Sure the looks are pretty cool but I really just want a high quality light case. All the cheap ones I've tried have some small thing that I dislike. So far I don't see anything with the UAG. The only tiny complaint I have is the left side of the phone has a really tiny amount of movement. I would bet it will change with temperature or I'll put the phone in again.

$40 is indeed steep for a case. But this one is really in a class of its own. It is very different from others and I feel like I've tried them all. I'm keeping it for sure.

Edit: ya I just put in the other color insert and that movement in the side is gone. Fits perfectly, no movement on any side now.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kraminc:
It fits the convert holster perfectly. It will not fit the active holster.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] NickTheMajin:
Any flex this case had is completely gone now. Fits like a glove no give anywhere.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GOTFrogqc:
I received mine and I don't really like it feels weird in my hand and it feels loose on the phone, not so loose as the phone will come off but just not a perfect fit. Waiting on my aegis and will decide what to do after
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dajumper:
yes that is also my problem
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Right out of the box, the case is a bit stiff. After a few fitments - it will fit like a glove. TPU lip is tight all the way around, with a tiny give around volume buttons and micro-usb port - expected by design. Once the phone inside of the case, it feels like one solid piece, with an exception of a little bit of shaking from insert which could be secured with a little piece of tape.

Regarding people's reaction on how it feels in your hand - its a squared off design of the case. EVERYBODY else makes the lip and the back of their cases rounded off so it fits snugly in your hands. UAG is more like iPhone square case (although not the same). That's probably the only complain about the case ;)

I just got Trident Aegis and maybe will review it tonight. Also, planning to do a face off comparison of UAG/Aegis/Tough/Popl! cases. Just from a first look at Aegis, it has one of the best ergonomic hand fitments (at least my first impression), but in my opinion doesn't offer the same level of protection or the same quality as UAG. I will go into more details when I review it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] dajumper:
yes thx man i know what the problem is: because where the insert cards must be in, that is the problem i insert also the two cards 1 a little lower and now it fits good! it is not normal but i can live with it! it is crazy to send it back to usa from belgium :)

R: Urban Armor Case (UAG) for Note 2 (Update 1-19-2013)

Guys, does anyone know where to buy uag case with shipping to Italy? Seems I can't find anything...

Also, does anybody know if there is a though case like the uag, or, say, otterbox, which has also a flip cover to protect a little the screen without having screen protectors on the screen itself??

Thanks in advance!!

Hey guys. I have the white case im looking to sell. Only used for 2 days. I dont really like it like I thought I would. Just looking to make my money back , pm me if interested.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rbelthazor:
It seems to be a very good case, but 40 dollars? That's really expensive for me (about R$ 86,00)..
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
I would just wait a bit until its discounted on Amazon, shouldn't be for too long, I guess. Look at their popular S3 cases, their website still lists MSRP price of $35, while on Amazon they (UAG) sell it directly with free shipping (fulfilled by Amazon for hassle free return) for around $22-$23. I'm sure another month or two and price for N2 case should drop. We paying a premium now because it was just released and still in high demand.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rbelthazor:

that shows you how to use flip cover with a uag case.

the closest/largest country i could find that sells uag cases near you is france on ebay.

EDIT: my bad, i didn't realize the location was United States. so you're probably better off just searching ebay.com and finding a good seller that can ship internationally the best. i have never had a problem with 98% or higher sellers shipping internationally. try it if you want it that badly.

hope this helps. keep searching around. look for other reliable euro websites. the uag case is solid in my opinion. good luck!

agreed. my uag navigator just arrived, and i love it. i got uag cases (white, black) for my brother and father for their S3's and they are also amazing. very good feel, and very responsive keys. one nice thing i noted was that the vibration intensity at full usually makes the phone rattle a whole table. with the case on, the vibration is normal/subtle. this shows in my opinion that the shock absorption is definitely there. it does add a little weight, but nothing compared to the otterbox bulk. i'm happy with my purchase.

Can anybody with a micrometer (preferably) or high precision ruler get a measurement of the diameter of the headphone port? I'm looking for a case that can accept the plug on my Audio Technica M50s and can't find one locally that will fit them while offering good protection.

The plug will almost fit most cases, but it's that extra mm or two that I need to make them fit.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jiffy1080:
I went with black, put a white card in the back, and added a black metal home screen button. In all black and white I think it looks mighty Sexy.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
headphone jack should accept a connector up to 3/8" according to vectron in his full review. i don't have a measure, and it would be helpful for you to post the measurement of your headphone cable.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] wase4711:
anyone with a white one they want to get rid of, PM me..

thanks
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Wattser93:
The plug measures 0.383" (9.75mm) using my micrometer. The plug is metal so I can't just trim it either. My current case had a headphone opening hole of 0.300" (7.60mm) and isn't near big enough (Case Mate Pop).

3/8" gives me 0.375", which may work, but if it's even slightly smaller than 3/8", it'll be too small. I could always dremel the opening a bit, but would prefer not to have to.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] opasha:
yeah, i feel you. i felt the area where the headphone jack goes. it has some give to it. so overtime the more you push your plug in, it should widen up allowing it to snugly fit. .008 is a very tiny difference, so it should be possible. up to you, though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Wattser93:
That's assuming that it's a true 3/8" measurement and not an estimate. If the estimate of 3/8" is actially 5/16", then my plug won't fit without modification. Hopefully somebody can measure theirs. If I could find the case locally I would go and measure myself but nobody carries it that I know of.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] vectron:
Sorry I was using just a ruler in my review, so obviously it wasn't precise down to a mm. But if you really like the case and headphone opening is the only show stopper with 1/16" or whatever, that's such a minor thing to fix where you can just take a tip of the sharp knife and scrape it inside to widen the opening. Out of all the cases I reviewed, and I have done a lot of the reviews on this forum ;), UAG has one of the widest headphone openings.
