I am thinking of buying one of these when they start tuning up used, I don't use cases or screen protectors on my phones and pocket carry. Given that , can you easily pocket carry these phones or are they too big?
Fits in most of my jackets no problem. It would probably fit in most pants but I have a messenger bag I carry so it always goes in there. I can't stand things in my pocket

Fits nicely, unless you have nuthuggers on
As had been said, pants pocket feels just fine to me. It's quite thin which really helps.

I keep mine in a micro-fibre sheath from an old pair of Oakley sunglasses (perfect fit!), and from there in my pocket (until my PDair belt case arrives).
In my low waist jeans pocket... it fits fine...
The only time I see an issue is when I'm wearing shorts, but I'm pretty sure I got the same issues when carrying a Blackberry 9800 in the same shorts...
My Note easily fits in MOST jeans I wear & fits perfectly in my work trousers although you can see the monster bulging out a little...
It also fits very well in a dress shirt pocket

Fits perfectly in vest and pants front pockets, i can drive with GNote in my pant front pockets without feeling it at all!
Fits nicely in breast pocket on most shirts that I have.
Fits very nicely in the inside pockets of my Barbour jacket.
Fits nicely in my trouser pockets.
Don't wear (blue) jeans and I do not have pocket in my Pants!!
I wear it in my pocket (jeans), and my coat pocket. I don't know why a lot of people ask "does it even fit?" because it fits just fine! Yeah, it's bigger, but it's no wider than any wallet, and it's for sure thinner than any wallet!
Thanks for the responses. I usually wear "Cargo" Pants and shorts with the additional pockets. I carry my i9100 in the front or back pocket of jeans. I don; think the front pocket would work with a Note.
I really like this phone. Since actual phone use is about 5% of my SGS II I like the bigger size. I use it more for other things and the larger screen is tempting.
My jeans pocket, too.
in my gun belt!

Mine (when I get it) will be wrapped with the Body Glove TPU case, and chillaxin in my pant pocket.
Mine is naked for now. It's definitely a head turner. A lady asked me what company is it for and is it also a phone. She was using an iphone btw

Very very very carefully. I think this phone is a beast but it has an akelies hill in that it will break the glass if a coner is struck if it fall or is dropped. Im using an ebay case holster combo, not the amzer one. The one that looks similar to the seidio design.

The phone fits nicely in my pocket with its case. I do like to carry it around as you get a lot of people asking what phone it is.
Purse. It's got its own pocket, safe and snug. I do have a thin grippy case on it, and have a leather clamshell case on order, it'll fit in that pocket, too.
Suitcase and a luggage rack for transportation. No ive got a zenus diary case on the way.

I have basically swore off putting anything in my left hand pocket of any pants now, reserving it only for my phone, if I must put it in my pocket. If I am wearing a jacket, or in uniform, it goes in a breast pocket. I have learned the hard way that wet application screen protectors that aren't properly fitted to the phone to compensate for the rounded edges will catch on everything and eventually peel off. But ya, like the guy said, carrying it in hand is the best way, and I bought ensquared insurance just in case.
Body glove case for now in my left chest pocket since I always wear work clothes. And when not at work in the right leg knee pocket that all of my dickies have. Perfect for a phone of this magnitude. Can't wait for the defender to come out for it though.

I often work outdoors in quick drying cargo pants and carry my phone in a pocket against my leg.
For weatherproofness (I don't need full waterproofness) I just put it in a small freezer/ziploc bag which doesn't add any bulk to the phone but it takes a while to take the phone out of the bag when I need it and obviously it doesn't look great...
I've been looking for a similar weatherproof protection that would be more convenient without adding any bulk. All the cases I have seen so far seem a bit too bulky/heavy...
Any ideas?

Zagg maybe. Otterbox would be the better option the commuter would be the case with less bulk versus the defender. I have yet to find anything comparable and Otter is dragging their feet on making the cases because they think the note 2 is a niche product (but its selling out).
I think a cell phone pouch is enough for you. It can protect your phone without adding any bulk.
Otterbox, Trident be the only ones that come to mind. Like the above poster mentioned nether are in a huge rush to produce. For some reason they think thi Note II is a easy come easy go product that will just be gone before you blink. Ohhh how wrong they are.

I must agree with Max_Pain…"Until you drop it"
Most drops occur when users remove their phones from tight pockets as you are only able to get a couple of fingers onto the phone with the first grasp. However removing your phone from a pocket has an advantage over a pouch as you can quickly pass it to your other hand. You are not able to do this as you have a pouch in the other hand!
Naked is great…but only in the company of the opposite sex/sex that attracts you.*
*Delete as appropriate
I had my g2 pouched for 2 years and loved it without a case. Only thing different is that this phone will crack after one drop imo. I wouldnt change a 600 piece of hardware like that. I'm not baller enough.
I want a pouch that I can put my phone into with a case on already on it only cause I'm afraid to drop it with just a pouch

Out of curiosity, since a pouch adds maximum bulk (apart from those monster extended batteries), how do you carry your phone around ? In your pocket? A purse? Bag?

Well let me say it this way. If you wear traditional type jeans the note will not fit in your front pockets. I wear only dickies shorts and slacks to church and they fit fine. But dickies pockets are fairly large.

Galaxy Note II weeding out the guys that wear skinny jeans
In all seriousness I don't have any issues with any of my pants including tailored suits. I can understand women having an issue because well they are plastered on there, but the flip wallets would be a good alternative or as mizz lia said in the purse.
I fully agree. Note 1 and 2 have fit in the pocket of every pair of pants I own. If your a guy and the galaxy note doesnt fit in your pocket, you should stop wearing fag jeans lol

The question isn't whether the note fits in your pocket NAKED, but with a pouch that adds considerable bulk. Most pouches are padded and easily double the thickness of the Note 2. It may fit in your pocket, but it's like walking around with a shoebox in your pants. LOL

Is that a note II in your pants or are you just happy to see me?
hmm depends on the type of pouch but all the pouches i think of would make a normal phone too big to fit in a pocket not just the Note II.

I have been looking online for a vertical pouch style holster for a while.
I found one I think might work but it's 39.99 and I hate waiting for shipping...
Every time I'm out I check for any type of anything that I might be able to shove this thing in! Drives my family crazy I'm sure.
Last night I was in hhgregg (a store I never go to) and I found this Garmin pouch that fits the gn2 perfectly!
I also have a flip cover, modded cruzerlite tpu case and a flygrip on the phone.
The pouch was just that. No clip or anything.
Tonight, I was about to go out to get lunch/dinner and hunt for some sort of belt clip that I could try to attach to the pouch. I looked down and saw a metal clip that came off one of our garage door openers..
OMG I had it all along!
The clip is optional so it slides off the opener. It also happens to have 3 holes in the back of it. Perfect for sewing!
Ok dinner would have to wait.
I got out some black thread and a needle and proceeded to sew the clip to the pouch.
I also mashed the clip down a bit with pliers because I think it's made wider to be able to clip to a car sun visor.
It's not perfect because it sags just a little. The pouch looks like neoprene but it's actually fabric covering some sort of thin foam so it's not quite as firm as neoprene. BUT....
It is very low profile and will definitely work for now! I can't believe I will finally have something to hold my phone in where I can actually get to it without digging through my purse.
I figured I'd share this in case someone else might be interested!
Ok It's time to eat now! I'm starving!

It really doesn't feel that big to me. I guess I'm used to the size now.
I also have the option of covering it with my shirt which I tucked behind for the picture.
It's just so convenient to have it there that I've decided I don't care if it's big. It really is slim in the pouch. I'm not sure I would like it if it were thicker like a normal leather pouch.
Maybe I'll take another pic with more of me showing for size reference. Of course if I just put my shirt over it no one would even know it was there...

Just wanted to share this accessory that I bought for my note 2. I dont have big hands, not too small either but this thing helps me get a better grip of the phone and allows me to reach the whole screen with very little risk of it slipping my hands. Its also really comfortable when you use your phone while lying down. It sticks nicely and you can take it out if you need to put your phone back in your pocket

Cool, but only for naked N2 or with a smooth tpu case, unfortunately Otherwise, need to use FlyGrip, Bunker Ring, or Sling Grip with sticky pads to secure to a case.
This is my ghetto mod using some 1/2" black elastic, a little sewing, and grip by clear silicone sealant on my ballistic case. Nothing is permanent. When the silicone dries I will flip the strap to create grip.
After ever silicone sealant dried I flipped the strap and tried it out.
