I know there are several threads about cases for the HD2 here, but a few are about leather cases (which I do not want to use)...there some about the silicone/ gel cases which I would like to use, and theres the invisible skin type which I would like to know more about. I do not know if the Invisible Skin/Armor ..w/e you want to call it -they seem the same to me... are tough enough to truly protect the phone from a fall ?
I also would like to know if there are any silicone/gel cases which are thinner than usual but still provide adequate protection...
One good example I can think of is this one case I saw on an iphone -it was a clear hard case, but it was very thin which made me really like it...

you're not reading properly. he's saying why go cheapo on an expensive phone?
Just got the Silver Case Mate Barely There today. Brilliant stuff - super snug, mirror finish, super thin. As thin and light as More-Thing's cases in fact, which I used to use when still on a Touch HD. Finger magnet but love it anyways

Better go cheapo-if i'd get a nice looking case, i wouldn't want THAT to get scrathed up either!
I ordered the capdase protector, seems to be really nice. the invisible shield and stuff like that offer no drop protection i hope mine will offer some.
Hmm... the barely there case not available yet for Tmo US HD2
I bought my "barely there" case direct from HK. Problem is, if you have multiple batteries like I do, you tend to scratch your phone when removing/replacing the case to get to the battery cover.
This led me to use the clear/invisible armor/shield, but I've had to remove the section that covers the antenna because it seems to cause rapid battery drain - see my post at thread 652013.

and i find it's great.
is it much different than the one shipped with the hd2?
Tried quite a few cases but my fav so far is this one:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390149733765&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Also known as flexishield case. It's like a soft plastic / gel case so glides in and out of your pockets easily and doesn't stick/attract lint like some silicone cases. It offers good protection but only adds about 1mm thickness to your phone.
I recommend black/gray but the choice is yours.
I actually ordered one like that...
but I find it hard to believe that it only adds 1mm thickness, 1mm is like a screen protector thickness almost....idk maybe I am wrong?
Okay maybe two then
But certainly doesn't add much at all. A screen protector is micron thin. I don't think it adds 1mm...
There are also variations in the gel type cases. Some are actually thicker. My friend bought a similar one but was quite a bit thicker. It had like a checked pattern on the back.

I ordered this case a few days ago and received it today. I absolutely love it. The phone still has the slim feel to it as well as it now slides in and out of my pocket with little resistance. The case has a very tight fit around the phone. I have noticed after a day of use that the phone has no lint on it. Part of the case is a smoke clear tint and the top and bottom are a dark gray tiny. Hope this little review helps. Part of the case is a smoke clear tint and the top and bottom are a dark gray tiny. Sorry for the blurry photos.

The case arrived today.
Good news: it's fairly high quality, looks great, is made of the new rubber-silicone blend material, and it adds minimal bulk and weight with great protection.
Bad news: it doesn't fit the T-Mobile HD2. Yes, really....even though their ad specifically states that it does. It's too late tonight to reach their customer service, so I'll be calling first thing tomorrow for an immediate refund.
It's clear that this is cut to fit the "euro" HD2, as the only fit problem is the fact it can't quite streeetch all the way over the bottom lip of the phone, and it's obvious that 1.5mm less length in the phone would make the case fit perfectly. It even says on the placard in the packaging that it's for the other model
In the 3rd and 4th pics below you can see the space it won't quite stretch to cover (sorry about a little lack of clarity in the pics...it's hard to shoot macro in available light at dusk lol)
The search goes on. Next I'm going to try the one reganH22 posted above...and these are all just to keep me occupied 'till the otterbox case gets released

Just got my case in today; absolutely perfect! One thing though, the case covers my mic at the bottom...have you experienced people having problems hearing you? I have a TPU Candy Shell case for my Nexus One that has a hole for the mic and I have no problems with people hearing me.
Thanks for posting this case, the eBay seller is GREAT and this is exactly what I was looking for. I love TPU cases like this because they don't add bulk and aren't flimsy like silicone.
I posted this in another thread but it works in this one too...
the capdase hard silicone case works great with our version as well...just off slightly off at the bottom by the microphone but people can still hear just fine.....very snug and not feeling loose...it keeps the contour of the phone on the back which i like and it still keeps the phone slim...totally transparent...covers the camera in the back so it can be left on a table without suffering any scratches to the chrome bezel or the camera lens...looks sweet...cost is $13.40 shipped and arrived in 5 days from hong kong

Looks like the same one from the holster thread. From what they said this one works well for holding the T-mo hd2 with the screen in. The picture shows it held screen out, but I never understood that.
Anyway, the holster with "OP" on the clip is the good one

Funny! I had no idea until you just posted this. I've never had anyone tell me they are having trouble hearing me. I think the little gap there allows it to pick up the sound.
My guess is they screwed up and made the cut out on the wrong side. Looking at the TPU case that T Mobile sells (the pink one), their cutout is the exact same size, but on the opposite side. They probably used it as a template and then screwed up and reversed it. Check it out. Still love this case, regardless...
FIXED! 10 dollar cases rule.

Tell me youre kidding. I just read your post after ordering this case yesterday. I verified it should fit in every way possible. There screen shot http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page.asp?divid=HTC&model=HTC+HD2&cat=CASES&skuno=88318# showed a Tmobile US version with the case on. Then I watched this video and they used a Tmobile US Hd2 here http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=utDmDOi95Ps. I've already contacted them to not send it if that's the case and save everyone some trouble. As well, they should take the add down if that's the case or at least take the Tmobile USA references out of their add.

I purchased one several weeks ago and had to make a cut for the microphone also. Apparently this issue have been corrected. I just ordered another one off Ebay for little over $5, expected the same issue, but this one was corrected - no cutting needed. Fits perfect. This case is perfect for case within case.
Once I got my T-Mobile Note 2, I searched the interwebs for a case that would protect the phone and make it less slippery. The quest was not an easy one, with barely any cases available, and most being replicas with different names. Additionally, none of the ones I saw offered protection around the corners, something that I find 100% essential on a case.
So after several hours on the general Galaxy Note II Accessories forum and several pages down the Amazon hole through multiple search keywords, I found the perfect case, for the time being. The case is a basic TPU S-line hybrid with an added kickstand. Nothing new or revolutionary, I'm sure, but given the lack of choices as of yet, a good one nonetheless.
The case protects, as commented, all 4 corners, and it protrudes enough that it lets you place the phone face down without suffering any damage on the screen. The kickstand works, though this is also the biggest caveat I've found.
The kickstand is on a hinge, and, to keep the case as thin as possible, the kickstand is embedded into the case. This wouldn't be such a problem, this happens on the Seidio Active, for example. However, the case is so thin that the hinges protrude too much out of the case, causing this to be the main point of contact with the surface when you place the phone on its back. It's irritating because one would hope a case would make the phone less slippery when placed on a surface than the original plastic, but hanging from two small pieces of plastic is not much better. There's always the placing the phone on its kickstand position, and that's fine, but don't think about pushing the phone hard on this position, or you'll cause the hinge to let you shift the phone to the "second" position, and, if pushed further, down to the ground.
The kickstand hasn't broken yet, but leaves uncertainty on how long it'll last. The black part of the case is grippy, specially on its sides, with the semi-see-through material being more slippery (though this is not an inconvenience, really).
All ports are well protected, but not covered, so no worries about echo issues like in other cases.
The kickstand is perfect for watching movies on the beautiful 5.5 inch screen.
The durability of the case is debatable. While I'm sure it'll withstand some falls, its purpose is more of a "now it'll not slip off my hands every time I pull it out of my pocket" than "let's toss this sucker from a 20 ft window"
This case more than serves its purpose, and at $5.98 including S&H (shipping from MN, USA), it should be in everyone's short list of capable though cheap cases.
If your phone is naked awaiting a case that fits your immediate needs, this will suffice. If you're looking for something that protects better, is more elegant, and of a known brand, the Seidio Active with Metal Kickstand is my #1 choice. But meanwhile, until it is released, I'd rather have this $6 case than go "naked".
I'm waiting for Amazon to accept all my images that I uploaded so I can provide you with images.
In the meantime, you can check out my Amazon Review here.
>>> It comes on either Black, Blue, Pink, Purple, White. I think I've also seen red, and I'm sure you can also find it on eBay.
>>> Black one seems to be "Unavailable".
Did it come with that screen protector you have installed?
I ordered one from china might get it next year LOL and also ordered another for a note 1, hopefully is as good as this one, I've had the S-line case on my S3 and even tho it was cheap i loved it.. you keep the slimness of the phone witch is important having a 5.5inch screen on the pant pockets isn't fun, imagine adding 1cm of case might aswell get the iDevice-mini.
thanks for the pics now i know what I got into...

Yeah I tried to do it so that the selling company was located in the US, just so it wouldn't take so long to arrive because I was holding the phone naked and it was slippery as hell.
The screen protector is a SPIGEN SGP Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Screen Protector Clear Steinheil [Ultra Oleophobic] [2-PACK]
Personally, I don't think the protector is the best, but I feel more comfortable about using my phone now. The safer the better. I got a scratch on my S2 with Gorilla Glass, because I figured "oh Gorilla Glass...don't need a protector". I tried to put protector when I first got it, but failed on 3 accounts. It just didn't look good. Wore it for a while till it looked even worse and I just simply removed it. And of course... Sh*t happens.
So this time, I ordered protector same time as case. Except it is fulfilled by Amazon so it took 2 days free shipping. I think the price is high, AND I have 2-3 bubbles that don't go away. Really, they aren't bubbles. They're specks of dust, and the surrounding area does not stick to the screen. I've thought about using the second protector but...uh I don't know.
"But it's Gorilla Glass 2, you don't need protector!" Not gonna fall twice for that. "But it's gonna interfere with the S Pen!" You know what, I think from time to time it does interfere. I've noticed sometimes while drawing that I might lift the pen but it still draws on the screen. Not sure if that's due to the screen protector or not...
Anyway, best of luck. Protect your phone with the first thing you find in the meantime until you get your case!
i see there's a minor bump on the kickstand that prevents the phone from laying perfectly flat on it's back. Is there' a slight wobble to it if you lay it flat and touch one side?
I just got this case in today and Im happy with what I got for the money.

Since I got the Note 2 from t mobile on the day of launch, the store was not carrying any cases so I went ahead and ordered a cheap plastic case from ebay and ran to the sprint store where they had ONE SAMSUNG OEM FLIP CASE and purchased as well. As everybody knows, this samsung OEM case DOES NOT PROVIDE SIDE/CORNER protectio and since I HAVE NO GRIP hands, I had to have every kind of protection available so I integrated both covers. Here are some sample pics. I will keep this on until I get my SPIGEN case!!!!
p.s. I know it looks kind of ghetto but at least I am protected!!!

It really is thin. This may not be the best for you, but I'd say just because of the kickstand, it may hold you over until you find a better one. Personally looking forward to Trident Aegis and Seidio Active. There's also Otterbox...
I got the same but the phone won't fit well. If I manage to fit the top, the bottom won't. If I do the opposite the top won't. Did yours had this problem?

Sorry, can't help you there. I really had no problem whatsoever putting this one in. I've taken it out about a dozen times, and I've never had issues taking it out or putting it back in. I ordered the Seidio Active case, so this one will be retired soon. But while using it, my only complaint was that the stand was not reliable. That's about it.
You might want to contact the seller and get a replacement. Looks like there's something wrong with yours. Also, make sure that all ports/buttons line up, and that they didn't send you the case for the wrong phone or some such.
Good luck!
This case is "unavailable" on Amazon but there are a million of them on Ebay, in all different colors. I got one in clear because I like to show off my phone, not the case, although I know from my old iPod case that I actually like the look of a clear glass-like edge around the sides.
I just wanted to chime in that if you get the clear version, beware that it *will* stick to the back cover of the phone. It's ugly because you get these big blobs and patches, and I found it immediately unacceptable. The case only cost me $5 so I just tried sanding it down on the inside so it wouldn't stick... which technically worked, but now it's even uglier. Yeah, I ruined it, but I couldn't see using it the way it was before. I was also concerned that over time, it'd stick so hard that I wouldn't be able to get it off. Already, whenever I'd take it off, I'd hear a "crack" as it unstuck from the back cover. I'm actually still using it after the sanding and it works just fine and doesn't stick anymore, but it is ugly.
My advice is to get a solid color version of this case if you get one, and still sand the inside of it so it doesn't stick. (Though make sure it's really opaque if you sand it; if it's clear at all, you'll see sanding marks.)
I really like kickstand cases but I'm thinking now of just getting something that gives me a little better grip on the phone (like a textured back cover) and then either not getting a case at all, or getting another one of these and hoping it doesn't stick to a more matte back cover.
for those who don't like the gloss look, how about:

No, I don't have one sorry.
I just spotted it on ebay last night and thought I would post it here as an alternative for people to consider when I saw the thread earlier
I do have it in my watchlist and may purchase later, but at the moment I'm using a FlyGrip and a plain matt tpu case
The kickstand looks a bit more flush on that one. Does not seem like there is much texture in the TPU for grip though. I will let someone else be the guinea pig, but I am curious to hear about it.

Me too, I'm very curious about this case...
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
They have that one in clear now too.
It looks frosted so it probably just has a matte texture that makes it easier to grip.
I found another clear TPU case similar to the first kickstand one but minus the stand and with all 5-star reviews on Amazon... found the same case on Ebay for cheaper (under 5 bucks) so I'm trying that next. If that one still creates unsightly stickiness, I'll just go for a clear hard plastic case. I've used one of those on my iPod for literally 5 years and they are surprisingly effective and look perfect.
LOL. I ordered the clear one to try out. I am so weak and have no will power.

saw this when browsing cases for my wifes s3. Does anyone know of a case like this for the Note 2 that isn't insanely expensive? Main part is the lip that comes up a decent amount above the screen to protect the screen when the phone hits the floor.

I'm basically looking for the same thing, I'd rather be safe then sorry if it hits the floor face down. Also looking for a cheap price point, hopefully less than 20-25
I found some cases, search Note II hybrid on ebay(stolen from another thread)

I feel the same way. I'm nervous about dropping my device. The note 2 was actually a gift from my partner, hehe. So I want to take extra good care of it. I even wanted to buy the Otterbox Defender case which would make it a tank. I had that case for my iPhone 3G and it turned it into a tank / brick. So I'm going to stay away from it.
I did buy the Seidio Active Case for my Note 1, and it was a GREAT case. I loved it! It made it thicker, but it wasn't that bad. So I'd suggest a case like that. I wouldn't the Case Mate pop case either, but it's not out yet. Or I'm waiting for the Speck Pixel HD Case. That will make my day! I loved that case so much on my iPhone 4. Great protection, great design. Great case. Until then, I'm going to keep using the original cases and the cheapo cases.
Anyways, good luck! Share your findings / or review your cases I am kind of a case freak. I love cases! :$
CaseMate Pop is available at at&t stores but it's ridiculously expensive.

Yeah.... I'm in Europe No AT&T in Spain.
I think AT&T got an exclusive perhaps? I mean, why else would Case-Mate NOT want to put it up on their website and sell 100 times more across the globe?

This is pretty close and comes with a kickstand. The only thing I do not like is the hard shell is 2 piece and might be a pain to remove once you install it. The softshell just stretch over the hard shell. Looks like an otterbox defender with raise screen lip.

This one looks pretty good too an easy on and off. I think I will order this one.

Okay so I just got this case
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330832732520?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#rpdId
I will try to post some useful info but I DO NOT have my note 2 yet, it is coming tomorrow.
Here goes to a half-assed review
1) The TOP CORNERS are not protected at all. They are protected by the somewhat thin, soft, flexible material and not protected by at least the outer plastic part like on the bottom and that's a problem. I am guessing corners should be protected the most because that is what causes the screen to crack(unless it faceplants)
2) I am NOT SURE about the how trustworthy the lip is because I NEVER had a case on a smartphone and my samsung vibrant was like an unbreakable brick. From my experience of looking at products through videos,pictures,etc. the lip does not seem like it will bring enough protection for a faceplant.
Unfortunately, I will ask for a refund.
P.S. The shipping part was very fast, the only thing that will make this seller a 6/5 would be if I get a refund
Hope this helps some of you out in your decision
Great I just ordered this case in white and blue yesterday

stay away from the dual layer "mesh" like ones on that link. really CRAP
the other ones the fishbone style ones are actually shockingly nice considering how cheap they are. they are NOT easy to take apart again without breaking (slow careful and once you pop the joint use a thumbtack to pop each successive joint)
but they are surprisingly nice.
you can get a case ology case like the one you posted for the Note II I am still waiting for case ology to get on the ball and make the impact case (with the 2 arcs on the back) that I like and use on all my phones when possible.
I also got a Jelly Tank case from korea. its a one piece hybrid but VERY protective. not "as" protective of the screen as I would like but so far very impressed with it.
I got these because of the good protection on the corners and front:

Got the "Hybrid" case from ebay and it sucks. Inside hard shell is doesn't fit so the phone moves around a creaks. Hard to use the buttons and makes it too think. I think I migh try the Ionic Guardian case next.

Capdase Folder Sider Classic Case for Note 2; what do you think?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPwzt3yjYrg
http://www.capdase.com/en/press_detail.php?id=189
Design is really good (except maybe the magnet which might affect Spen) but the quality doesn't look that great
Not gonna lie, been considering getting a folio case (that lets u use at a stand) more each day since this thing is a phablet (as ppl love to say)
I like this case a lot. The top and bottom of the phone is not exposed like those other folio cases. Can talk on the phone with the cover closed. It rotates with different viewing angles. And it looks like it could handle a drop.
How much?

Exactly the whole phone is covered where can u buy this
http://www.capdase.com/en/index.php
Wonder if ebay has it.
That looked actually pretty nice... please update this thread when you find out where to buy it.

The problem with any case which has a cover is that the cover can get to be quite annoying after a while, especially if you want to dock the phone. It is just ALWAYS there. I finally gave up my flipcase for a standard case just because I finally got tired of always having to mess with the cover.
Also, I have never understood the point of the clasp closure. Under what circumstances are you worried about your flip case flying open?
Would have to see this case in person. The material has a cheap look to it in the video.
There appears to be no magnet in this case. Capdase has reputation for making great iPhone cases. I purchased Capdase accessories for the Note 1 and Galaxy S2 in the past. The only thing that bothers me for the Note 2 accessories is that the buttons are exposed.
