Cases and Covers

My nexus 7 has arrived today from Ebuyer, which is a week earlier than i expected and so i don't have a cover. So i was just wondering where people have got a decent cover from for theirs?
Cheers

THIS bad boy here!. I just got one for only 6 dollars after shipping. Hopefully it'll arrive the same time my n7 does, though it'll more than likely get here first.

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008FXSC9U/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&s=computers&psc=1 looks quite nice. Also apparently uses the magnetic sensor in an iPad-esque fashion.

covers
there are many different brands for covers / protectors...i am looking into getting one also. I am stuck between trying out gorilla glass or a xoskin protector. Just cant make up my mind.

I bought 3 cases and 2 wires to use the computer headphones. Way cheapter than Amazons offer.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm 99% sure that Gorilla Glass is only available already on a device, not something you fit yourself.

Grabbed a Neoprene Pouch off ebay for 10$

I found this BodyGlove case @ Wal-Mart, it is very protective and fits like a glove.

I kinda leaning towards the orange one....yea I'm a bit odd lol...
17USD plus shipping. Looks nice and slim, BUT I had one in carbon fiber for my Kindle Fire and it was ok, but not great. I settled on the seidio active case for the KF. My "perfect" case search adventure continues!

I'm thinking long and hard about a treegloo case. I can't posts links but its treegloo.com . They are on the pricier side but I love the moleskine look.

Why does it have a hole for a back camera?

Yeah, they look good alright. I wish there were more N7 cases available because I don;t know if I want to spend this much $$ on a case, but with the lack of options I just may. Their Ipad cases have the smart cover feature so I hope these cases do as well.
Edit: I just contacted TreeGloo and this case will also be a smart case. I'm scalping some concert tickets so I can justify spend 20% of the tablet cost on a case though but I really like the fact that the case looks like an old book cover.

I picked up one of these:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Cas...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item4167b83d78
Mostly because I had $6.01 in ebay bucks that I needed to use... so it only cost me $0.58. It makes me laugh that it looks like there's an ipad in that picture. We'll see what it looks like when it actually gets here.

at some point in this forum, i came across a case that looked like a leather bound book, anyone have a link to that? I cannot find it, i even checked my history from today and cannot find it in there either, it's driving me nuts!

Me and the other member were just talking about it.

OK- Some Minimal~ist Cases

It's so funny how every time we get a new phone, the accessories subforum explodes.
Nothing in the DEV Section. LoL.
We're all so antsy to do something with our new phones we don't know what to do with ourselves. LoL
Ok back to business.
i found a couple of these that I personally like and would purchase.
#1 TUP Bumper Case only. Provides maximum protection in the Minimalist category
#2 Slim Slim book-cover case.
The brilliant thing about this case is that it replaces your battery cover. So it is not an additional cover on top of your phone. Look closely, it's a BATTERY DOOR replacement with a wrap-around cover to dress up the front. Excellent design!
#3 Magnetic Book-Cover Case. [/u]
Ok, this one DOES cover the entire back of the phone. It will be the bulkiest of the bunch here. It's gota magnetic clasp to keep the case cover closed on top of the phone. Looks nice.
#4 ALUMINUM BUMPER
Looks solid.
I'm likely going to purchase the TPU bumper myself because it's a good compromise between minimalism and protection.
What we're really worried about (at least I am) is the bezel getting trashed, or the screen cracking because there wasn't a ledge (or lip) on the front side to absorb the fall.
So, I like the TPU bumper.
Anyway. I thought I would share. Congrats on all new TMO T889 Note 2 owners.
Day 3 with the phone beginning Friday.
It'll be one hell of a switch from my S2.
Nite all

Are there any cases, or just battery cover replacements that add a kickstand? I dont want a flip case or any extra thickness. Just a replacement back with a kickstand. I saw a TPU kickstand for the OG Note, but note the Note II. I love the kickstand on my EVO 4G and dont want to go without one. I saw the Flygrip and I think it looks terrible and you cant set your phone flat on a table with that. Something like this would be perfect.

I just received that case and it seems fine for my needs. The phone is big enough that I don't need excessive extra bulk Has a little bit of a textured finish where you would have your hands, so it certainly feels way more secure vs. no case!

with Kickstand
Is this what you guys are looking for?
Fosmon HYBO SK Hybrid Kickstand[Amazon]
---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------
So sad that not a single Brick and Mortar store has anything for the phone.
T-Mobile has nothing for the T-MO version, and they don't even know when they'll get anything. They didn't even have the white Note 2...
I just need a simple case to make by until anything worthwhile appears...
I ordered the TPU hybrid with kickstand (link above) from Amazon, but estimated delivery is next Friday...
Has anybody found anything for the Note II at any retailer in the US?

By the way, I purchased No. 1 and it broke after 4 weeks. The plastic is cheap.

New case arrived today

I ordered this case off ebay as well and it was shipped from California. I believe it was $10 with free shipping.

The case comes with these extended bumper corners which make holding the phone easier and provides extra protection from the Left Corner Drop of Doom. The weakest point of the case is the kickstand. The kickstand is flimsy and does not have a positive lock in place or a strong hinge when opened. the volume keys as well as the power key are covered. The charging port as well as the earphone jack are left exposed. The black rubber is harder than the standard TPU but not as hard as the white plastic that it is attached to.
All in all its a nice case

Nice case..found it too, with so many color variations..but they wont ship here..huhu..thanx for the review..

not a big fan at all, looks horrible!

Makes it look like the size of the Ziggy device on Quantum Leap show.

Well......
Im not sure how it makes the phone look bigger because the case isnt pictured with the phone in it.
Anyways I was in Sprint looking to see if they had gotten in either of my two favorites which are otterbox or ballistic and they hadnt. There was an older than me gentle man who was looking for a case for his phone and they had none and he said he was affraid he was going to break it. I explained that I understood seeing how my first one lasted 20hrs. I reached in my back pocket and gave him the case. He wanted to pay me for it but I told him it wasnt necessary and wished him a happy holiday season. He seemed a bit confused as well as the Sprint employees wonder why I was asking about a case when I am just pulling them out of my pocket giving them away like toys from Santa's bag. I think giving away an $8 freely shipped case to someone who will appreciate the act and may recipicate an act of kindnes to someone else this season is worth the small investment.

I have this exact case as well. It makes the phone too big for breast pockets, but still fine for pants pockets and carrying. I plan on only using it for when I need protection, but not as a daily driver. For the price, you can't beat it.

Ordered the same case. Do you have pics of the phone in it?

I have this case i think it feel really good in the Hand and looks good too. CLICK on the Link to see the Pictures

Agreed, but the TPU is a lot more stiff. Not certain but I would venture to guess these cases wouldn't do as well in drop tests.

Got it at a local AT&T store, you can check stores' inventory on their site.

Thanks for the pictures, any other comments on it?
Also, the price is pretty steep for a case like this. Did you pay full price?

With my experience, the backside of this case will get scuffs and scratches on it big time. Had one for my Infuse and Note 1. I wouldn't recommend it.
....The Case-Mate POP Case - Samsung Galaxy Note® II is similar in size to this one but has a stand and doesn't scuff up. I had one but returned it for another case at AT&T just yesterday.

I like it so far. Adds a decent amount of weight to the phone, not too much bulk.
I like the overall shape of the phone better with it.
Button feel is the best of any case i've used on any phone. Soft but taticle.

thanks. but for for $38 nah. maybe $25

I know what you mean, I had a candyshell years ago and it got scuffed up pretty quick. Why did you return the Case-Mate?

Yeah, I paid full retail... but I work for TMo, so having the discount on my plan makes it OK to splurge on an accessory now and then

I had one of these on my HTC Inspire (2 actually, different colors) I loved it, I will be buying one of these once Speck starts selling them and not just AT&T.

Waiting for different colors. Hurry up Speck. Speck always has discounts so no worries regarding the full price.

In my experience, specks has push candyshell cases out with steep price for a while now. They lost my interests when they release ugly version for iPhone 4 with giant camera cut out. Overall it looks OK but bulky and like many have said too glossy thus scratches can be seen easily. I would rather get a pixel skin HD if it comes out.

I love the look, the protection appears solid but the retail price is too high for my taste. Since I'm a battery swapper is the case easy to remove?

yup. just push from the camera and it pops out.

I found this 25% off accessories coupon on the internet and used it at an AT&T corporate store today. Came out to $31 with tax. It didn't work on their website.

A no-brand Case with Holster

Hello guys, how are you?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/281034264527?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I bought this case on ebay and I really like it. I think it is a great cost/benefit product.
I don't know about others because I live in Brazil and I have to pay a very expensive shipping. (1 US dollar = 2 BR reais)
It isn't a hard case but it feels like one and it protects all the coners and screen.
I have some pictures:

Funny, I have the same case. Basically, I got it because it was cheap (less than $5 shipped). The case itself is really good. The stand and holster, however, are poorly designed.

My holster clip broke after 3 days after the clip fell off 6 times and the silicone was tearing where the hard plastic met with it in the corners

I hate the tpu on this, its so flimsy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

True, holster clip is a junk. I wouldn't trust it. But kickstand was solid! Can even be used in flygrip style to hold the case

Got my hubby one of these... love the way it feels. Rubber is a lil too loose for peace of mind but it is relatively thin and design is pretty. So far holster is holding up ok

This case has no TPU. It's all silicone and hard plastic.
My kickstand is falling apart. It also doesn't stay open unless you "click" it into place (since it was new). Like I said, for the price, it really doesn't matter. But you can find better cases for about the same amount or maybe a little more. I didn't care much for the holster, but thought that I might use it if I have to wear formal attire. However, it is so hard to get the phone in and out of the damn thing, that I never did. The silicone headphone port protector also fell off, but no biggie.
My main gripes are the use of silicone instead of TPU and the crappy kickstand (which I use A LOT). When the kickstand finally breaks, I'll be getting another case with a properly designed kickstand. Hopefully, by then a proper one will be out (like the one I used to have on my HTC Evo).

Sweet you found him a Note II?!
Did you get yourself one?? I thought we'd both be stuck on the Skyrocket for forever lol. Did you sell yours, or did it die haha

Off topic: yes, we both got refurbs for .99 cents each (plus upgrade fee). Skyrocket is now being used by my 2 1/2 year old son until it gets sold. Pretty happy with the note2 except for the bulk. Still shopping for decent case... I think I'll buy my husband a defender case when this one breaks. He is a disaster in the making when it comes to phones. Lol

The Seidio active Holster fits this case perfectly. They make an great combo. In fact I shelved the Seidio Active case and kept using this one with the Seidio Holster since they make a damn good combo
