Anyone of you wonderful galaxy note 2 owners have any suggestions for a kickstand case? Preferably and landscape and portrait compatible case. I'm yet to find one. Any info would help, thanks guys.

Usually aliexpress has a lot of these cheaper cases. I've seen some on their website. Give that a try.

Here's another option:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009UWAIEC/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&smid=A19R3BN6ZSO9A1
Much cheaper and more readily available, although I'm sure that Case-Mate case is probably better built and stronger.
american sites are a joke,they charge us in UK over $25 for shipment and if you in USA want to buy anything from UK shops it will cost you only £3.50,stuppid,i would never recommend anyone get from them is a rip off

Looks like a nice case, but unfortunately the kickstand appears to be landscape only.

The Amzer from Fommy is generic and is tough to find at the moment. Was thinking of purchasing 30 or 50 for around $5 and reselling. Make around $5-6 a pop and it'd be worthwhile to throw a mailing label on it and give to the postman. Could do some of them as a group buy on here for cost if there was enough interest. I really want the one I link to in the bottom paragraph.
I have a similar one that has a jointed kickstand on the case itself which serves as a great fingerhold to make the phone more one hand-able. Though you could do the same with the Amzer one if you left it in the holster, screen out. It just adds to the bulk. I just had this one ship which is the same as the other amazon link, but actually in stock. Not sure how that stand will work as a finger hold, but we'll see.
This is the one I have for the S3, and I hope they make it for the Note 2 as that will definitely be my go to case with it. I get the tips of my fingers resting comfortable at the far edge of the case. Raise my hand higher and allows my thumb to easily extend to every part of the phone. It's the gripping of the far edge that makes the larger phones less one handed.
I found this one. It's not a name brand that I've heard of but it's a dual layer case with a kickstand.

Flygrip
If you don't need the case and are only looking for the kickstand, try FlyGrip. Mine got mailed out today, so I can't say how they work on the Note 2 yet.
However, he made videos: http://www.youtube.com/user/FLYGRIPinc
He also gives away a gel case if you want one.
These guys make great cases.

I bought the same case for my gs II, the clip broke on the second day. Also, the phone was very loose. I expect the same for this Note II model.

Well I'll find out by the end of the week. I just bought 100 of them. Get the itch to resell once in a while. If they're loose, I'll let you know. They've had good reviews in general. I'm using the tpu kickstand one now because it was cheap. The standard is okay. Have to trim down another invisible shield because they cut them too big and it's peeling around some of the edges. If any one throws on a protector, make sure it's cut small enough to come inside that raised glass edge.

Forgive me if I sound daft, but I have been browsing the forums looking for the best case that would protect my phone. I am deciding between either the Otterbox Commuter, Trident Aegis, Ballistic, Seido Surface, or the Best Buy Platinum Series Case. I am leaning towards the Seido, but have heard somewhat mixed reviews about how it attracts lint, and how it seems loose at times. What I am wondering is, I have heard that the Platinum Series case and the Seido Surface are exactly the same, but with a different logo. If this is true, why are people purchasing the seido case when they can save almost 20 dollars, and get the one from best buy?
Is there some difference that I haven't caught?

Was just at a Best Buy today and they had no cases for the GN II. Here's the Platinum Series kickstand case online:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinum+Series+-+Kickstand+Case+for+Samsung+Galaxy+Note+II+Mobile+Phones+-+Black/7175042.p?skuId=7175042&id=1218832287567
I purchased one from best buy, in store. They only had one so they must have a very limited supply. It was only $34 for the surface with holster. Great deal! I did take mine back as i just got my otterbox defender in. The case and holster were very nice quality though, no complaints! While the sedio is much slimmer i wanted the extra protection of the defender and the ability to place the phone in the holster screen out. I am using the holster as my car mount so having the screen out capability was a must!
I pcked my Best buy Platinum case on Sunday and it is very good quality. I am very pleased with how the case feels and how the holder works. It was on sale for $29.99.

The three best buys near me don't have any cases for the note 2 except the crappy flip cover.
I tried to get the PT case, but every store in Houston was sold out, except the one in the Galleria...which is an absolute traffic nightmare during Christmastime. I'm thinking of getting the store near me to to a transfer, or maybe they'll get more in stock.
Anyone got a review on this case?
Can anyone try the spen around the kick stand?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
The platinum brand is in fact made by seidio. Same case. Best Buy Platinum brand. It even says seidio on the bottom of the packaging fyi

Any videos of this case? I want to see it lol
Id also like to know if any one had tested the spen near the kickstand. Someone posted a pic of how the magnet curves lines where the spen is, can't seem to find it now though.
A good reason is that not everyone lives in the USA and has a Best Buy on the same continent On the other hand, Seidio ships all over the world, and as do eBay sellers.
Because Best Buy does not deserve my money. That place sucks.
I have the platinum bb case. It IS a seidio surface case and holster. I immediately checked out the Spen around the kickstand cuz I'd heard complaints about the seidio active, and I have zero issues. All works well.

I decided to feed the beast because they're close by and I did manage to find one in stock. Also a fair bit cheaper than buying online and having it shipped. Buy online for instore pickup FTW!
However, NO THANKS WHATSOEVER to the best buy at 99 and 1093. I asked those turdburglers if they were in stock at the store that I'm going to go pick it up at this evening...they said "NOPE". Of course, that store could have got stock in, but I doubt it. Furthermore, they didn't offer to do a store transfer that did have one (and I wasn't smart enough to ask.) Their customer service blows.
Wanted to share this find. Looks like an absolute must have to me and is priced pretty good too! Link is to the Amazon page and it's available for pre-order (available Jan 7th)

Too big for my liking. Also don't like that kickstand. I am pretty careful, so minimalism is okay for me.

This thing case looks great but the reviews on it for the 7 are pretty bad. Either they say it is very hard to remove from the case or it has flimsy/broken legs on the stand.

Getting one and I'm glad it's bulky.....I'm used to that
I think the stand looks awesome and functional for any situation. If it doesn't feel strong enough, I will be careful not to stand on it while watching movies and such. There are more good reviews than bad so I feel confident that it'll be worth the chance

Get it, I love mine regardless of its flimsy stand (the smaller stand is flimsy, the large one is pretty sturdy in landscape mode). I got rid of the built in screen protector and used a skinomi and its perfect. It withstands the abuse of constantly being placed into a briefcase, its durable, and its about 12-1/3 of the price any otterbox or seidio case would be.
I have this case as well, and really like it, except one issue. The rubber that goes around the outside, is kinda loose around the top, and front facing camera area. U can seat it, but it just won't stay flush.... anyone else?
I just got mine today. I it is a decent case but the price has gone up on amazon since I bought it. The rubber does seem loose at the top like someone else stated. I the screen guard that is built in is decent, but I punched it out since I have a zagg invisishield.

Anyone else having issues with this case and video chat apps?
My N10 was behaving like an old, cheap speakerphone with Tango (choppy audio, bad mic) until I took the case off. Then it cleared right up.
Wondering if it might have been compressing the tablet in the mic/speaker region, or otherwise deflecting the sound?
Only me?
I'm looking to buy two or three cheap tpu cases to mod to go with my flip covers. I want just cheap ones for now to see if I like them or not. Does anyone have a link to ones they like? Ive checked ebay but its always a gamble. If this is in the wrong section I apologize. Thank you in advance.

Dx.com has a bunch of cheap bumper cases for around $3 in multiple colors that match the flip case colors. I would check them out.
does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail
LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.
I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).

The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are
1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)
2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)
3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

Ugh - no kidding! The $5 generic TPU case I got on ebay looks better designed than these!
While you may not like the look of those cases. I can attest that the CaseMate does actually protect the phone. My GNex slipped out of my hands atop an 8 foot ladder. It bounced on a step half way down. And no damage ! Try that with one of those $5 cases.
On another note, I'm still waiting for the Spigen Slim Armor case to come out for my Verizon G2.
It would be nice if Otter Box would make a Defender Series Case for the G2. I prefer protection w/holster.
I have the ballistics case . I think it looks great. A little thick, but I know the phones protected

If you guys only knew how much these cases actually cost to make, you would throw up. I know, and it's simply ridiculous.
I won't go into why or how I know, but cases that are selling for $15-30 cost about $0.50-2 max to make. The price to profit margin ratio is even more than clothing which is pretty hard to do lol.

What confounds me is how ugly the back covers (the ones with covered buttons) look, with the exception of the ballistics case.
To me the covered button is a must to space out the distance (through indentation) between the lens and the buttons for my fingers. The Case-mate could be nice but just look at the way the lens opening is designed. Pleah.
