My TPU-Case just arrived today! Check the video after the break!
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=20&products_id=78
This is exactly as expected and what I was looking for - a one piece minimalistic case on the cheap that will protect my phone from basic wear and tear. I don't expect it to protect my phone from an extremely hard drop like an Otterbox will, but I am concerned about the Otterbox adding ugliness and size to the phone. The TPU barely adds any bulk to the phone, and I feel that it actually adds to the phone and makes it look nicer and feel better in the hand.
I got the high gloss black version, and while I would've preferred matte it is a very sharp looking case. Total fingerprint magnet though. The gloss back seems rather easy to scratch... if I push really hard I can probably scratch it with my fingernail but for $8 I could simply buy another one if I really wanted to. It took two weeks to get here, which is longer than average (international shipping US to Canada) but I won't complain because shipping was free.
There is a cutout for the power/lock button but the volume buttons are covered and you can't really feel the 'click' from pressing the volume rocker up or down... but it still is relatively easy to press. Perhaps the case needs to break in a bit.
Google around for a promo code to get 10% off, and after tax with free shipping it cost me a whopping $8.05 in total. It didn't come with a screen protector so I will have to find one on its own... but again at this price I'm not complaining.
All in all I'd recommend if you're looking for a very cheap and sexy looking minimalistic case. This won't protect like an Otterbox and will probably scratch over time, but is so inexpensive that you won't care.
Got a similar TPU case but it has a textured back and for only 2 USD on eBay
^^
I think it's just like mine. My friend send it from Canada and I got it before 2 days.

Same thing here.
IMHO it's even more beautiful than the gloss one.
Just bought one on ebay. 1.49$
yes,
seems to be nearly identically to the one I bought from dealextreme.
the difference is the cutout for the power button - PTU has, Dealextreme not (sometimes its a bit hard to press...)
I won a free TPU case on here at XDA = returning otterbox commuter. too bulky, and slippery.
TPu has a nice sleek feel, won't fall outta your hands, and barley adds any bulk unlike the Otterbox. only thing I hate is the power button is a bit hard to push so I use a widget on my homescreen that puts the phone to sleep with a push instead of using power button.
it's called " Lock Screen Widget" if anyone else has this problem and wants to check er out.
Nice! But don't sell in Vietnam
Wow might have to snag myself one of these! Good looking cases
@ThuongTin: I think dealextreme does ship worldwide
nice
nice not bad
http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CZS5478Q&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0 im going to try this out tomorrow,had one for the galax.1 and the infuse,slim and good protection and grip,of course i will get screen protectors!!
I bought this case at the Sprint store the day I bought my phone just to have something to protect it in until I figured out what I wanted to do as a long term solution. This case ended up being that long term solution. It is very light and thin yet I feel provides a lot of protection on the corners and sides of the phone as well as protruding higher than the glass front of the phone in case the phone is dropped face first. I like the texture on the back of the case a lot in terms of my ability to hang on and use the phone with one hand. This case is a keeper in my opinion.

I also got this same case on release day, it's good case the design on the back gives it good grip. Like stated before it is keeper. But for me I gonna go with something a bit thinker just so I have a piece of mind. hopefully BG makes a tactic style case like the one for the gs3.
these don't look bad in the glacier color.

Picked one up from sprint as well and i really like it Offers nice protection, grip, and feel. I also got it to hold me over until i found a case i wanted for long term but may end up keeping it, it all depends on if my flygrip sticks well to that textured back.

Any chance this is available for international customers?
The body glove that is.
I too picked one of these up at a Sprint store. I had to go to an official sprint store, the affiliate store I checked first said there weren't any cases being made yet. I paid $26. I agree with the above comments, it's quite nice, although I'll go with a water resistant (siedo/otterbox) whenever it comes out. I did have to trim the top edge of a couple of my microusb cables, I thought about trimming the case but it's pretty thin there, and I only had to very slightly bevel the plastic of the cable. I've had the same problem with my Nexus 7 so no biggie.
Yeah i just bought one too and this thing is too flimsy for my taste. I got spoiled by the Speck case for my Note 1. But i had to patience. Couldnt keep my phone in a plastic box for 2 weeks.
I would LOVE to have a Speck - the Speck case for my 80G Ipod looks like a tire!

Yep, I like this case a lot also but can't find it in France or elsewhere in Europe...
Also, this case isn't super rubbery feeling. If that's what you're looking for then this case isn't for you. Personally, I don't care for silicone cases because they get stuck in my pocket and and too rubbery feeling. This case is a bit more pvc feeling and isn't rubberized. I didn't think I would like it, but it's pretty solid. It's a bit more expensive though.
This looks close to what I am looking for. Is it one piece? Seems like it would just slide out ?

Yes it's one piece. Goes on like a TPU case does, just wraps around the phone

the only disadvantage is it doesn't have the raised areas over the buttons. that's key on the samsung case. I would much rather have the textured back on this one though. It feels great overall, slim, light, and makes the phone feel solid. I wish there was some compromise between them.
So has anyone found a way to get the body glove outside US? It seems to be perfect for my needs. Slimmer and prettier than the samsung tpu case. I've searched but nobody ships it to Europe. Is Sprint the only store selling it? Do you think the case will become available wider or should I just buy the samsung tpu?

I like the case too. You can order from sprint.com no matter where you live or order over the phone from them.
My cousin just got the GNII 2 days ago, and he too rapped it with the Bodyglove case. So far he likes the case a lot. For me when I get the GNII on 12/1, I will be going the Otterbox Commuter series case route. I will not take any chances when dropping $299 with a 2 year attachment, lol...
I have one, feels awesome. Just wish it had the covers over the buttons. other than that, no complaints
Hate
I hate the cases with covers over the buttons. Takes away from the feel of the phone and having to press extra hard to get a response from the buttons sucks. I have never had a BG cover that I have ever liked. Seen this one on the Sprint sight when I ordered it and it looked good so I gave it a shot. I have had 6 different TPU cases on other phones and this case is the best I have used. So I don't find it a down fall at all the buttons are not covered. Plenty of grip. Raised areas cover the camera and screen edge perfectly. Get it and you wont be disappointed! :good:

No we can't. Sprint.com doesn't ship outside US. That's the problem.
"Orders cannot be sent to PO boxes or international addresses."
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.

I'm currently enjoying my Otterbox Commuter and Trident Aegis cases.
I LOVE my dot view case. Great protection, the cover features really do come in handy, and I really dig the overall look. This is my first cover case and I've gotten to used to it really quickly. Besides the dot view that I've also been using Skinomi back skin when I want to go naked to prevent scratches (had issues with my M7). The install was easy, the fit was great, and no visible orange peel that I can see.

100% with you! Love this case, love the magnet on/off and the dot functions. Takes a tiny bit of getting used to if you have not used a flip case (like me). Think it looks pretty slick and smart, ten times better than a generic amazon jelly cases.
I feel all the complaints are a tiny bit unfair, that is... apart from the price. But £30 to protect a £600 phone for two years seems good to me. I think the spring of the cover will dissipate after a month of use so the one handed usability will return.
BUUUUUUUUUUUUT
I think it has sub-par protection capabilities. I only got this case because of the condition of my two year old HOX. Not a scratch on it, never dropped/thrown or scratched. DO NOT BUY THIS CASE FOR PROTECTION. It pops out very easily and the sides are not protected. I'm worried that sliding the phone in and out of my pocket may one day catch the volume rocker then just rip it off.
Good case with minimal protection; otter box or equivalent for repeat drop offenders!!!
I used a Spigel Glas.T slim on my Xperia Z, and it was a huge disappointment, cause the glass was so thick that the edges became a 90 angle which caught on stuff. However, the case I got with the M8 (Scandinavia. Don't know what the case is called) has a little lip outside of the edges, so it might be OK with this phone.
Of course, then I'd have to wear the case all the time, which isn't really that big of a problem, but who knows what cool cases might appear in the future, without a lip...
Maybe I'm overthinking this

Haha you're probably right. I typically go naked with all my phones so I might feel a bit over protected by having a full cover case on for the first time.
Very subjective as people have different needs for their cases.
For me, I find the UAG to be the best case for me.
TPU covers are minimal but also provide minimum protection.
OtterBox Defender cases provide excellent protection but add a large amount of bulk.
For me, the UAG is the best of both worlds. Very good impact protection but does not add a ton of bulk.
I second uag. Just got mine today and absolutely love it. Provided good protection and isn't very bulky also the design is very cool. I saw some drop videos of this case on various phones and it stood up to a 6 foot drop flat on the screen, now that's impressive.

Great case. Very well crafted. i used lots of cases in the past and they seem to have some imperfection. with this one i haven't noticed any. the camera cut off is perfect. the buttons are very responsive better than the one on the phone. the M8 was very slippery not anymore with this case. very solid on hand. it,s a bit heavy and adds little bit of bulkiness but that,s not issue for me. overall great looking case that offers sleek look and good protection.
it blocks the IR blaster but no big deal for me
I really like how all of Spigen's cut outs on all of their cose styles are exact to the leanses and flash etc. Instead of larger mutli use holes. It just makes it look so much nicer.

Others have actually posted the opposite stating the cutouts are a little bit off and especially around the silver trim around the camera.

Looks gorgeous, feels amazing, slides easily in and out of pocket, doesn't attract lint, and it's very affordable.
All you UAG guys I encourage you to give this one a try. I used to be a die-hard UAG user, but I just got this and it easily won me over and the best thing is that it's less than half the price of UAG's cases.

I already tried the first one, Norway is not included in the list. Looking forward for your reply on Amazon =)
I just noticed that Best Buy has what appears to be the HTC OEM translucent hard shell case for $14.99. Search for SKU 5641313. Anyone have experience with it? I just ordered, but looks like it'll be over a week 'til delivery.
EDIT:
Case arrived. See here:

If it's similar to the M7 one that I had it's a nice, minimal case (and it came with a free HTC screen protector as well!)
I take it this is what you're on about?

Yes, I have one.
Barely notice it's there, which is great, but a few days down the line, the back of the case is already showing some scratches.
Does have a slight lip on the front to protect the screen face-down, though, which is good.
I don't think it'll last long until I cave in and get a DotView to replace it.
I was planning to buy this since I had a similar one for my One X. Then I found this Yesoo case. I got the gray one and really like it. Mine came without the branding on the back too which is nice.

I got this one, and its pretty great..adds little by way of size, the back is clear for the beauty of the phone stands out!
Can we get pictures of this case from anyone that owns it? And wondering how it looks

Bringing this thread back on-topic.
I received my case today and threw it on real quick. I usually don't use cases, so this is for occasions (like on vacation) when I want a little protection from scratches.
This appears to be a first-party case from HTC, with the Product Name on the box listed as HTC HC C942 Hard Shell. It is translucent, as opposed to transparent, so on my Amber Gold M8 the color is definitely muted. It has HTC branding located directly over where HTC is on the back of the phone. The overall feel is good; exact match to the M8's curves with no seams that can be felt. It isn't slippery, but I wouldn't go so far as to call it soft touch.
Looks good! I have both the hoc translucent case and the yesoo case on the way! We'll see which one I like better

I ordered once cause it was cheap on eBay and I had one on my old M7. Will be interesting to see what it's like against the case that came with the M8 (which I quite like even though it's a little grippy when going into your pocket).
Nice to see some photos of it, gives me confidence in the product. Have you tried the SP that came with it?

I didn't even look at the screen protector, because I've been sold on glass screen protectors for years now. (Although I haven't purchased one for the M8 yet.)
It's hard to say for certain how the screen protector is without installing it, but laying it on the phone, it looks like it covers edge to edge vertically, but not horizontally, leaving maybe .2mm on each side.
I have a Zagg glass sp and I have a kaysone case which is same fit as yesoo case and it fits perfectly the screen bevlels in so it's not going to be an issue ,at least not with zagg
Yes, I have one copy.

Possibly so it doesn't catch on other cases
Why the heck didn't the Sprint store have this when I bought my M8? They tried to sell me on some clunky $50 Otterbox or something. Ended up ordering a Diztronic TPU case for $10 from Amazon, but I hate how it hides how nice the phone looks. Nonetheless, I've have great luck with Diztronic stuff.
i can find with this item # have the link ??

OK, got my one of these. First impressions, perfect fit - like to the mm. Thin but offers nice protection to the phone. Do I prefer it to the one that came with it in the box? I don't know. I prefer the fact I can get to the ports easily BUT I quite liked the fact the one in the box covered the ports so dust won't get in.
SP was easy to fit, and fits well, but it's fingerprint magnet - SO much more so than the screen naked. At least it's covered, though...
I'll give it a few days but might go back to the original case as it offers more grip
Anyone got pics of this on the gunmetal color?
