Do you use a case on your OB?

Do you use a case on your OB?
On the one hand OB is very slim, what makes it feel good in the hands and look very nice, on the other hand if it falls on the ground it may break.
And do you use a screen protector? some people claim that it's unnecessary, but is OB screen really made of gorilla glass?

Never used a case and I dropped my phone many many times, still working great and it is not damaged

I have a silicon/latex cover and NEVER use it, makes it bulky and very hot, i just saw a metal back cover though i may get that one

I have a tpu case and actually I didn't like it, the phone with a case feels weird and uncomfortable to press the buttons.
I just bought a new battery cover to give it a new look.

Gameklip for our note 2?? [Ps3]

I have the GameKlip for the Note 1 and the Note 2 will NOT fit. The Note 2 is too long for a proper fit. Hopefully he makes one for the Note 2 soon.

All I needed to know. Thanks

Gameklip is now offering 2 models only. One for the SG3 and a universal one that attaches to a case for your phone with a 3M adhesive strip. They have cases for the Note 2 for $2.95, it's a generic TPU type. The wireless model plus case plus shipping to my house came to $21. The case attaches permanently to the klip so you will have to switch out any case you now have each time to use it. I have the Samsung protective case that slips off an on easily so I decided to go ahead and get the universal "case mount" since I would have had to take it off anyway with the old style system because it fit the phone too tightly to use with a case anyway. I will report back on the fit and quality once I receive the package.

whoaw, i wan't this.. what are the specific things to order from them for our gn2?

I'm disappointed with this version. I was hoping for car holder universal style arms instead of just a sticky thing to the back of a case but oh well is not like we have too many options so I will have to buy either way.

The note 2 is a gaming powehouse. He should definitely make one specifically for this phone. I dont like the idea of swapping cases just to use it.

Considering the fact that the Note 2 is kinda heavy and rather big, i don't trust that sticky tape to hold my precious.

You would have to take off any case anyway because the versions made for specific phones fit too tightly to allow you to place the phone plus case into the klip. You can't expect an option for every phone/case combination. If it fits tight enough to hold the naked phone securely it won't accommodate the phone plus case.

3M adhesive strips are way more reliable than sticky tape. Automomile manufactures use it to attach heavy items to vehicles that are subjected to much greater stress than you will ever
subject your phone to (unless you plan on throwing it when the game gets frustrating). Just clean the attachment point with alcohol before applying and you won't need to worry about it coming off under normal use.

I actually think it will look better than the plastic arms wrapping around the naked phone. This way the case and phone will be appear to be an integral part of the device rather than an apparent add on. Also, when I was thinking of ordering one like the original I worried that those arms, being made of rigid plastic and fitting tightly enough to keep the phone from dropping out, would eventually cause visible wear on the phone's body with repeated insertions. That should be no problem with a soft flexible case. Additionally, on the theory that the phone will eventually be replaced, it will be possible to remove the case and fit one for the Note 3, 4 or 5 to the device with a new adhesive strip. All in all it appears to be a pretty clever one size fits all solution for the multitude of devices in the market. I got notification that mine has shipped so I will soon have a better idea of how well it actually fits and will report back.

You make a lot of valid points let us know how you like it.

If you bought one for your original note that WILL WORK! I shoved my note 2 in it to see and it was way to strainful, so I decided to take a lighter to heat one side up to let it adjust to the longer phone, not it fits in perfect nice and tight and no issues at all!
Notice how the right side is angled a little, I can still shake it around and everything and its very sturdy still

Self made duct tape case

So I work as a lifeguard and I need my phone in the stand for music and ideally I'd like to have a waterproof case but there seem to be none available. i dont want the salt air to corrode the ports and internals of my phone so i usually use a sandwich bag but it doesnt provide any protection from sand really and its annoying. So I'm pretty crafty with duct tape so I decided to make my own case. I just did it about a half hour ago I'll probably make a better version in the future after I figure out the flaws but here's a few pictures of it. Let me know what you guys think.

Those are good ideas but it would be expensive for me because guard all summer 6 days a week and would need to change it everyday. Also the bag would be bulky and would take up room on the stand. I really want a case like the life proof but I know there are none

Well you could purchase those knock-off Otterbox Defender or Survivor cases. They should give you relatively ok protection from sand, drop impact, and minor splashes of water (for more water protection, those sealable cases I suggested earlier, would be your only choice).
This case http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRiPRO-Spor...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d0de9f4c3 is reusable, so that shouldn't be an issue.

I work beach volleyball and know what you mean, sand is the thing I fear most. I usually use two sandwich bags and scotch tape them tightly around the phone. Back camera's unusable then but the phone is safe the screen works just fine. I've also saran wrapped the phone itself and put it back in the case.

Absolutely fugly, I would never desecrate my note like that. You could have done better with the knock off survivor case, an sp, and a sandwich bag.

That's certainly a lot more compact and efficient than trying to find a product that just doesn't exist (I have the same problems as the OP with a different model). There's no long term water/sand proof solution for any of the Notes. Desecration? I guess a scratched up, worn out phone is preferable. I've been working on the beach for six years, I know what I'm talking about.
I've been using freezer bags lately for working beach volleyball; they seem thicker.

Personally, I didn't find it fungly. I thought it was crafty and humorous. The worst thing, I was waiting or Jeff Foxworthy to finish the "you might be redneck" punch line, LOL. It was also something I could see my grandpa loving. Duck tape fixes everything.
But hey, if ziplock bag wasn't working for you, that couldn't have cost more than $1 in parts. Maybe fifteen to thirty minutes of time. Obviously this is not a case about drops, but about keep tiny scratch particles from getting in. A prime example of function over form.

[Q] Soft touch battery cover?

I'm fed up with this slimy plasticky battery door that come with note2.
I'm looking for a soft touch matte finish battery door. Perhaps something similar to Nexus 7 2013 or Nexus 5.
At first I was interested in leather one (as there is a thread for that). Looks like a Note 3 and have better grip. But the again I just dont like the leather look. I prefer a simple soft touch finish that wont left many fingerprints.
Does anyone know this?

How about Carbon Backcover like this? Not as plasticky as the original. However, it's not too soft I guess, just enough for comfortable gripping and exclusive feeling instead of plasticky thing.

I found this not my taste but sort of what your looking for

I've been using a QI wireless charging pad for a couple of weeks without any problem. As another user posted, the only effect I've noticed is a slight bulge in the back panel. It doesn't get especially hot (although it does warm a little more than with USB charging.)
The only other thing is that I've got a wallet case on my phone and charge through that (so there's some plastic between the phone and charging plate.)

I have the expower ultra thin card and in the instructions it tells you to remove the copper screening sticker from inside the original back plate as it causes extra heat when charging. Its a ***** to peel off as well. Gets warm but not enough to bend my phone by any means and it charges fine through my defender case there's no noticeable bulge in the back plate either. If i want to put it in water i'll throw an otterbox preserver on it.
