Im looking for ideas on covering up the white trim.
I figured there may be a decal type of offering for the phone where i can put a sticker type thing to go over the black but haven't come across such a thing.
Or any ideas for successfully painting over it? =)
I'd really prefer a sticker though.
I don't want to use a case.

if you really don't want a case and can't find a sticker, make your own sticker...
Any ideas on what type to use/where to get?

No sorry it was just an idea, plus i live in Australia so i doubt any local shops going to be very helpful.

not really sure what you mean by "gel case" could you link a picture? (not necessarily of your phone)
i m thinking about getting one of these silicon cases :

There are available in a wide range of colours, i just want a hi-viz one for traipsing about in the wilderness.
Yeah I have seen those around too, I was thinking about getting one myself.
There is one thing I thought odd, why is the battery door lock exposed?
You cant open the door unless the gel is taken off first anyway. Just a thought and not a show stopper for me.
That is a very good question.
It may be that they are designed using a pre-release non-functioning dummy phone so they try to leave all ' functions' accessable without knowing what that actually are.

This is what the gel case looks like, just search "defy gel" on ebay and it brings up lots of various colours

yeah mate I think they are referred to as that - rubbery plastic - i always refer to them as gel cases. Its not that crappy sticky silicon rubbish
Yeah we refer to the silicon ones as gel skins here. The tpu we call tpu lol. Does yours have cut outs for the buttons? Or are they covered? If they are covered how hard is it to press?
Sent from my DEFY using XDA app
I have the amzer tpu case as well. It covers the buttons on the side, but not the wake/sleep button. The volume buttons are harder to press then I would like, but not unmanagable, and I don't use them much.

Very nice !
A couple of thoughts:
* buy a cheap silicon skin to protect the back and edges of the plastic body: this would require you to increase the size of your alloy brackets, but the rubbery grip would make the Tab much more secure in the stand cradle.
* get rid of this awful useless screen protector (Gorilla glass is tough enough, and the silicon skin would prevent the alloy brackets to touch the display anyway)
Keep up the good work, and let us know about your incremental improvements / design revisions !

I really like this stand. I have one of those leather cases with a built-in stand, but id like something like this as well. Or a more portable, possibly folding version of the mesh card holder. Looks great so far though!

Velcro is pretty strong (read an article before where they wanted to use it in place of blots for building lightelweiht planes) ,you might even have trouble prying it off the stand! been using it everyday and the tab has never fallen off. if I feel like the Velcro is loosing grip, I can just replace it for $1.

Comparison to the Seidio Active

Just found that Ballistic makes a case for the 4G. Being in construction, I had one of these on my EVO 4G and LOVED it. Buying now. Great case and highly recommend it!
Since I can't do direct links I guess... Search "Ballistic Case" in Google and either click on Sprint or Samsung once in the site.

Most likely it will. It's labeled as the 4G so don't blame anything on me! It fits awesome! It adds bulk but no more than any Seidio case. I think the protection is better than Seidio. The fit is perfect and snug. I can't do a review tonight but I will try and find my camera to do one for this weekend or tom/Friday.

I would throw it around if it were the HC Series but the SG Series is less hardcore. I had the HC Series on my EVO and dropped from about 8 feet onto broken up concrete with no problem multiple times. This seems to offer plenty of protection though.
Alright guys sorry for the delay. I have the pictures taken I just can't find my cable to transfer the pictures... Be up soon hopefully.
Thanks this red looks real clean. How does it fit in the pockets? I just wondering cause the corners bulge
Fits the pocket pretty good for a heavy duty case. Nothing worse than any other silicone case. I shouldn't say silicone but it's fairly easy in and out. That's what she said?
Thanks for letting me know about this case. I purchased the black one and it DOES fit my Nexus S (T-Mobile). The BodyGuardz I have on the back of my Nexus S seems to help the fit but I did contact Ballistic CS and they told me it would fit.
I was looking for a replacement for Otterbox (this looked so clean and probably would have been the best case too bad they didn't make it) and I'm liking this and the Aegis.
My Ma has one of those (well, very similar to that for the Desire HD). I just don't like the pink ... afraid of catching "The Gay"
I'm just joking, pink just isn't my colour.
So, my Nilkin case arrived in the mail on friday. Took 2 weeks.
The Gallery of images can be viewed here for a better look and experience. HERE
So here's the package.

Comes with a screen protector ( Not gonna change my screen protector yet )

Conclusion:
Overall a very good case. Actually makes the phone look very good. Especially the back where the phone looks slick. The fact that the bottom and top are protected halfway scares me, however i can take care of the phone well so it depends on you.
The case feels quite slippery when you hold it up, so you have to grip it tightly.
Looks good on the sides and all round. Generally a very nice case to have.
I love it.

If you keep dropping your phone you definitely need a cover. I dont think this is available for NS4G though. You'll have to look for a similar one.

--------------------------
Just ordered one brown
Have one for the I9020 in the marketplace http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1540356
Contents well protected and packaged. includes screen protector.
I've been thru about 5 cases - My favorite.
It's a Hard case, but covers most of the TOP and Bottom. Perfect fit. Rubberish feel on outside. Slim, sleek, and sexy.

why? It's the same as any other grey note 2 phone?
Had one similar to this one, same covered area, one drop on concrete and the screen was gone. So while it looks nice, it offers no protection against drops, be careful.
good looking, but dun like the logo

I wonder what's underneath the sticker... err, protection film. LoL!
Hmm... It seems the device won't survive a drop with this case...
I don't think most cases are designed to protect from falls...only day to day wear and scratches.

No, but comparing pictures this covers more of TOP and Bottom than ringke
Here's some of my previous case
Made phone look bulky.
top and bottom too exposed.
Slim but felt cheap and no grip
Nicely designed but not slim
Slim, and a good compromise between size and protection with the looks.

I was pretty much planning to alter it if I ended up buying it. Basically to remove the flap that covers the bottom, and I had no intentions to use a screen protector.
I have quite a few different cases I was looking at, but this was just a curiosity

My bad, I thought you were spamming and trying to promote your own product here.
Personally though, not a fan of these types of cases. They're really bulky and I think they completely ruin the look of the phone and makes it look cheap.
I don't sell anything online. I'm just looking for something that with offer a decent amount of protection. I don't want a lot of bulk, but I want something that is sturdy enough offer that much. I've seen drops cracking the screen and figured I may as well look for a case to pop the phone in when I get it. I don't usually punish my phones, but I figured I'd rather be safe than sorry.

i have the otterbox defender. I dropped it onto my garage floor from about shoulder height, not really sure how, just did, and the phone landed pretty much on the corner and the phone was fine.
got it off ebay for 40.
I was looking at the otterbox too. Not too sure though. Ob are usually really bulky. :/
