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.

Anyone have any experiences with this case?
I'd like to know the same thing. Been looking at these myself.
Ive bought one, so, we shall see.
Ive seen the case before, but not bundled with a screen protector and stand. I actually ordered the TPU case. Comes in S, waves, and X rear design. Will post pics once I receive it.

But this one has the largest color selection. For those looking for the White Backing

I have the clear S case coming today/tomorrow, and the Black X case coming Friday. Also Have a 7in Android slip cover coming. will post thoughts when I receive.

GREAT source for pictures on how these Series S-line look on the Nexus 7. I ordered the X series, which I think covers the buttons.
Found another clear X series installed on a I/O unit;
Borrowed me some ebay pictures of a clear S-line installed on a retail unit;
I have the s-line case on my nexus 7 n its a nice fit. Cutouts are perfectly lined up with buttons, speaker hole, charging port, etc. Very thin not bulky at all but thick enough to protect the n7. I would recommend it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Looks nice. I will pick one up. Nice too as you do,nt have to worry about setting the device face down, getting the back greasy (reading while eating ) or having to look like an old person with all these "folio" cases.
I bought one of the X designs shows in the various colors on the previous page. I bought it from Amazon in black. Coupled with a SP this maybe all that I need.
I would like a thin flap case but they add way to much bulk right now. Maybe when someone creates a thin model, I'll jump.

Yeah I do. SEARCH in ebay , amazon, and this forum.
we have search functions
Thank you helpful people..
Don't ask other people of what you are not willing to do yourself. There are 5 different designs and 100 different distributors of those 5. You can find every single case made for N7 on the first 2 pages of this forum.

Google Nexus 7 Slim Magnetic PU Leather Smart Cover Case Stand w/ Stylus- Black
Very slim and protects the nexus good enough for me. Cover folds behind and acts as a stand, but isn't as sturdy as I would like. The surface texture of the cover is a little too much like felt and the cover folded up doesn't grab to itself as well as a rubberized cover would, but I'm tired of reading reviews on covers and waiting for the next one in the mail so I'm sticking with this one.

Looks nice at the first glance but the colored "leather" looks glued on the back pretty poorly and the outlines/"leather" cutouts aren't exact. It also doesn't appear to have any type of clasp or magnets to hold the cover closed.
I owned a Poetic Smart case and liked it. My tablet got stolen so I'm in the market again. Torn between buying another one or one of those Book cases.

Instead of being an ass, maybe you could've asked to be more specific & I would've happily supplied some information.
I'm using the eBay smartcover that most people have.
It comes with the cover(obviously), a stylus and a pretty bad screen protector.
The cover itself is good considering it's only £9.99
---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:29 PM ----------
Also sometimes the magnet turns off the Nexus 7 screen when you fold it back
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.

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).

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
Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?
Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
