Hi guys
i am starting this thread to find out what most people prefer for protecting their precious...:fingers-crossed:
All of you could post on what reason you choose the kind of protection they prefer, so that others would have an insight on how to choose for themselves...:angel:

You could just use the Screenguard/Full cover option..
@all please do post te reason why you the specific type of case/cover..
I really hope Samsung comes out with this awesome case they have for the S3. My partner has one, and it covers the ports with a little plug and it's a very snug TPU case.
I'm waiting for the TMOUS version of the Note II to become available. If I could, I'd choose an Otterbox case for it. I've gotten great protection for my HTC HD2 using their Defender case. However, Otterbox has said they have no plans to introduce a case for the Note II "in the near future."
I promised myself that my next phone from my current s2 will be bare (caseless) besides a skin, such as Spigen steinheil glas and back protector.
On a side question, is the camera on the note 2 recessed? Ie. Not sticking out from the back cover?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Nothing at all. It's big enough as it is, but I do want an aluminium or carbon fiber rear replacement. Anyone know where I can get one?
Well I went with the book case from Samsung.
I thought it looked pretty good without adding hardly anything to the dimensions plus this way I have the screen protected and when I go to sell it for the next super smartphone, I put the original back price on and any scratches or hits on the back are instantly gone.
To be fair I don't normally like cases but this does not get in the way to much and when folded back on itself it makes a very good horizontal stand for watching videos.
Hope whatever you chooses works for you but imho whilst Otter boxes are without a doubt solid protection they just ruin the pleasure in having a slim phone.

Was waiting for that one! :cyclops:
Is there any case that is fixed on the phone only from up and down? Like this Ringke case for Galaxy Nexus? My only problem with cases for Note II is that the phone is already wide, so a case with sides fixing, make it wider.

Both the slim-fit multi angle and the ultra slim smart-shell is on sale for 5.99 with free shipping if you have amazon prime or orders over 25. Ordered both with the ravpower wifi-disk...will try my hands on a video review of all three when they come in.
Oh only the color black is on sale.

I've been on the fence about the smart shell 'cause I don't usually like cases with the front flap... but at $15 including next day shipping (Prime rocks), it's worth a try.
Don't bother ordering if you're in the UK:

I hate how the metal plate could potentially come into contact with the screen. You grab it wrong and could push the flap sliding it over the screen, the metal plate will scratch the gorilla glass.

Yeah there concerns about that. Some use plastidip. I think I'm going to remove the metal plate and wrap the part that would come in contact with the screen with electric tape

Or a screen protector would help too right? I'm gonna have to find my can of plastidip! If there's real friction though the dip will probably just peel right off and scratch the glass

I mentioned in another thread that the plastidip company now makes a primer that supposedly makes it stick better to metal. You might try that if you are worried about peeling...

I opted for the genuine leather version of the Moko slim fit multi angle case. Absolutely perfect! Very nicely finished, fits beautifully, looks great. Opening for Pogo charger (stitched all around too). A bit more than the PU leather version, but it is very nice for $21.

This can't be true. It would depend on so many factors such as the specific metal, the shape of the metal where it comes into contact (a point, an edge, a curve..), the force of contact, etc. Gorilla glass isn't some mystical impervious material.
---------- Post added at 10:47 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:40 AM ----------
Just received my ultra-slim Moko. For $6 it's nice but I really wouldn't recommend it for a few reasons.
1) As mentioned before, the metal piece on the cover could potentially come in contact with your screen and scratch it.
2) When closed, the cover slides around. This is very obnoxious when you are walking around with your tablet in one hand. Basically, if you hold it vertical, the cover slides up while the tablet slides down from its weight. Over time this is just going to get worse as the cover loosens.
3) I'm having lots of trouble making it stand up in both positions and stay put. The triangle fold does not hold, I think due to poor choice of the size of each edge of the triangle. Maybe with time it will get better but it hasn't so far.
Overall this thing is just flimsy, although it does look and feel nice to the touch.
I bought this case for my LG D802 Asian, and fits perfect, the size is like my Galaxy S2 + Otterbox, less bulky than an Otter.
I like the black mate and the phone doesn´t slip so easy like when it doesn´t have the case

The second picture is with the phone near the cover, to have an idea, the G2 with this cover is near the same width of my Galaxy S2 with Otter Box and the depth is exactly the same as my S2 with Otter, the lenght is larger because the phone is larger

I bought it at ebay at this dealer:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/cellcase4u
My experience was great, my cover arrived to Mexico in 6 days, very fast.
Personally I think that any cover that fits G2 T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint will fit D802.
The customer support of INCIPIO is horrible, I dont understand why because the case is nice, not bulky like Otterbox, I think is enough to protect the phone.
Try to check at ebay or ask directly to INCIPIO where to buy the DUALPRO T- MOBILE variant, the models I saw are colored, personally I prefer black, but is matter of taste!
Okay... thanks.. will contact the seller then

Yikes, seems like the rubber portion attracts lots of dust/lint (top/bottom) of your pics. Maybe I should get the Spigen instead to avoid that.

It attacts not lot of dust, in the picture seems worse than really it is, if you pass your hand you will clean it easy.
Personally I dont like the Spigen because its bigger and the hole in the flash is so small that could affect the beam and personally I like more the black mate back of Incipio.

Good point about the flash. I read about it earlier somewhere on this forum, but I didn't think much of it. If the flash isn't properly dispersed, it may very well affect picture quality.
I'm planning on getting the white dual pro to match my white G2 that I'll be ordering soon. Hopefully the grey rubber bottom doesn't show dust/lint as much. I'm mainly concerned not with it being there, but that it might constantly be getting on my hands and may make the case slightly difficult to hold (I had a TPU silicon case for an iPod Touch one time and it was terrible with lint).
Do you think there's enough room on the sides of the case to have a tempered glass screen protector there without experiencing any lifting?

Most of the case is plastic and from my point of view this case is optimal because it does not slip from my hands.
About tempered glass, totally useless in phones with Gorilla Glass and total waste of money, for one side, this type of screen (Gorilla glass) never get an scratch with normal use, for the other this kind of screen degrades the clarity of the G2's wonderfull screen.
I have a Galaxy S2 for two year and still I see one scratch, of course maybe you will found something if you look at the microscope hehehe.... but from the normal eye sight, there is nothing and this is what matter most.

Yea, most likely one doesn't need a screen protector, but even with gorilla glass, I would feel more comfortable with one on there. Never know when I may drop the phone by accident and any additional protection helps. I don't particularly like to see any scratches on my screens, so I know it would bother me if there was on there.
Also, I'd probably get a higher resale value for keeping it in better condition!
Just heard back from MIME. -
Apologies for the delayed response, we expect to have our LG G2 glass live on our site next week.

I hope this one fits!
thanks for the heads up.
Here's the link: http://mimeusa.com/product/g2-ghost-glass-tempered-glass-screen-protector/
Looks pretty good, I assume it will cover the entire screen since they call it HDT-c (High Density Tempered Curved).

My assumption based on the page is that the edge is curved. Wouldn't put too much hope in full coverage.

Taking a second look at the site... you're right, it appears to be the edge only.
I guess it's impossible to have a well-fitted full coverage screen protector for our phones.

Also, I've already broken one G2 screen. I really don't want to drop it face down and break another, You guys think this screen protector will protect the screen from shattering from a drop at a reasonable height, like 4-5 feet from the ground?
tbh - it depends on where and what it falls on.

The thicker the better for drop protection, but personal I just use a good case
Yeah, I was about to say if they replaced the whole phone then I would buy the case right now. But, anyway, just an FYI for anyone, I used this case Diztronic Matte TPU and I dropped the phone from about 4 feet above the ground. The phone did land flat on it's face. The side of the case was also popped off on the bottom corner when I picked the phone up. The screen was shattered though, sharp glass was sticking out and the screen wasn't responsive.
Just letting everyone who has that TPU case know what happened to me and why I am looking into buying a 'hard' screen protector for my new G2 now.

I've heard that the phone doesn't fit that well in the case as well as tops/bottoms can fall off. Is that true?
It was a little loose but not that bad at all, so what I did, was I bought 3 of those FULL 90% off full body Xtreme Guardz(Posted in this section) and put them on(Front and back) and the case is actually nice and snug now! Actually It is hard to take it off,lol. But not really hard but with the protectors on the case fits extremely well!!

Oh, I was thinking of going for a Nilkin screen protector that's why. Will the case still fit since I'm getting a screen protector only?

The case looks great, have your tried putting on the case without the full body protector? I want to buy either this or the Otterbox Commuter.
Oh ya!! I had it on without the protector the first few days and it was fine, the only reason I put the full protector on was because I got 3 of them for $2.75, lol!! That's 3 FULL PROTECTORS for under $3!!! Crazy.

this was exactly I did, really hard to take off. I found the case too slippery so for now I purchased a dot view case; and find it okay
I have one (unopened) that I received for free with my phone. I'd be willing to trade it for the international tpu.
Oh man, I got this case at Verizon last week and returned it. I didn't think the fit was good at all. Maybe it was just the end caps being a little loose, but the phone itself felt loose in the case. I can just imagine those caps flying off the first time you drop it. It's too bad, I was really excited to get this case.
looks great

I love this case but hate that the end caps are plastic and not coated with a rubber texture that the M7 version had. That really helped with grip.
Would it be possible to spray the end caps with flexible vinyl paint?
