Best case I've owned for my E4GT. I've googled around and can't find a release date for the note 2 version even though I have seen it available for pre-order. Anyone have any idea when it's being released?

I want the Karken A.M.S. Kids love playing with my device and I'm always afraid of them dropping it 2yrs> biting it, etc.
Does it add a lot of weight to the device?

I know what you mean. My 3 year old has dropped my sgs2 with the Aegis on it several times, both the phone and the case look like new.

They add a bit of bulk, but it's worth it. Just for a comparison, here's the AMS beside my Galaxy Nexus.

The bulk for the Trident Aegis isn't quite as bad as the AMS. It offers gear protection.

I liked the protection and the grip from when I had it on my HTC but the silicone made it really alloying when putting it in and taking it out of my pocket and I'd assume it'd be worse since the Note is humongous. I'm guessing it's not a big deal to everyone else?

The silicone on my AMS case isn't very tacky at all. Also the only place it's on the outside is the corners, everything else is covered with plastic.
IMHO the Trident Aegis line of cases are the best on the market bar none. Better protection than the tpu type cases and not near as bulky with almost as good protection as some of the "Sarcophagus" type cases out.
I have had them on my ET4G, SG3, and now waiting for the GN2 Aegis to release! I like and believe in these cases so much I always get a blue one and a black one to swap out occassionally.
It is also the only case I will let my GF use on her new GS3 lol!!

Does the silicone portion around screen, tight? I have a otterbox commuter case for my Iphone and the silicone portion is very lose where the hard portion doesn't cover. Very stupid design and one reason I am not buying another case from Otterbox.
I love the look of the Kraken's but the silicon inside plastic outside and the way the plastic links is horrible. comes off every time you drop it. bad design.
will wait for the case ology impact case.

i had to send my Kraken for my gs2 back because the power button broke when it dropped..then the small piece that is used to clip onto the holster also broke just before i sent it in. their customer service is excellent and they sent me a new one. two days ago the same clip piece broke on the new one. they do seem to come apart when dropped. excellent looking case that provides great protection, but needs work on the construction quality. the aegis on the other hand has been solid with no complaints...other than the wish for the AMS kickstand to be combined to it.
the review videos I watched show it popping apart every impact.

Anyone have any experience with this line of cases? I've used incipio products in the past and have been pleased with the quality. I'm thinking the protection level offered from the dual pro would be somewhere between a tpu case and the otterbox commuter.
I cant stand cases that have soft silicone covering the bottom where the charging port is

Ordered one 2 days ago as well. Hopefully that will be offering enough protection so that I don't have to get another case. It was either this one or the Seidio active for me but I like the look of the dual pro shine a lot more. Fingers crossed.

Silver and white shine looks great on pics. I wonder if the silicone atracts lint, I know they have two types of silicone that they use, one that attracts a loooot of lint, dermashot for iphone 5 and the one that doesnt and is tick silicone that they use on ngp line up. going to check with their customer service which one is it as I am Thinking of ordering one as well. Incipio cases are great quality.

Was looking at these last night, surprised I havent heard more of this company. The dual pro looks like a quality case. Wish they had other colors but prob gonna order one anyway

The concern I have is that the polycarbonate part is not grippy enough. That seems to be the issue with both the Commuter and Ballistic. I'm still waiting Case Mate's Tough Case for the Note 2. Love the textured back that's very grippy. I do like the look of the Incipio case though!
There's a thread on this case!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051175
I have the incipio dual pro shine and I also have a seidi case with kickstand not the extreme case but the Smooth I also have a Mercury tpu and a cruzerlite of all these I like the seido for the kickstand but I will say ive seen one particular negative review on Amazon for the pink one and she rants about how difficult it is to get on lol she was doing it right it clearly states in the instructions insert the right corners first it is a lil bit weird the very first time to put on but now I take the cover off and on in no time at all I have the white note 2 and I went with the silver case with black rubber and I like this case the most its not the thinnest case but it does fit in and out of the pocket and its def not as large as the otterbox defender or the other one I forgot the name ...So yes its a great case that offers just as much protection as my cruzerlite which gets great reviews and is about as thick maybe a little thicker than the cruzerlite but not by much if your going to spend so much money on a phone wouldn't you want it protected that's why you get a few for looks one for heavier usage when your active and that's what this is im an active guy and I feel secure knowing if I drop this case my phone will def be protected sure the case will have scratches because of the metal finish but this is the best looking slightly a lil more heavy duty case ...I love it at first after one bad review I was real sceptical but now I'm very happy I purchased it .. Its my daily case unless im hanging home watching movies than I use seido for kick stand I will probably get the seido xtreme or the new cruzerlite with kickstand on Amazon for about $15 it looks great and affordable

Sorry for bad grammer its late but I was talking about the incipio dual pro shine I have it in silver and like it very much I feel the most secure and sleek at the same time ... The only down fall is your first time putting on the case but I promise its easier than putting on a speigen or inbishield screen protector which requires alot more patience the first time ...Okay so the only negative I have is the rubber part picks up pocket lint from being in my pocket but its easy to wipe off just don't wear super linty ass jeans lol

Hi All,
I just got this case in the interim until I get the otterbox defender. I had it fedex overnight because I usually put my phone in my pocket. It reminds me of the otterbox commuter but not bulky and its in a silver Aluminum finish with a good feel and not a fingerprint magnet. Not slippery. Tactile buttons are responsive without any problems. Very well built dual protection case. Access ports are not covered.

Yeah the problem was that the Otterbox Defender wasn't available but all these other cases were so I had to go thru looking for a case that would fit in my pocket. The cheap tpu cases didn't instill confidence when I put it in my pocket and the Speck Candy shell case was a little better but it's rubber gray material frays when you put it in your pants. It also was more rigid than the tpu cases but I still was worried about it not being rigid enough. This case however is different and the hard shell is really rigid. No worries about putting this in my pants. The hard material is very solid and a very nice feel. Oh well still waiting for the otterbox but this will do until it gets here. Otterbox using Fedex smartpost sucks! I'm praying it gets here and not lost in the usps christmas frazzle. lol.
This one actually looks very nice. Interesting..
Wow, looks nice and sleek.
I see a seller in ebay has it for about $24.95.
Let me know how you like it when the Otterbox comes since this looks much thinner and easier to pocket.
Nice!..the color blends well with the white note 2..any other colors?..found some pink/white on ebay..

Finally stumbled across this case after searching for three days or so for a case for my incoming Note 2.
I just ordered it off ebay and had to cancel my other case I had ordered from Amazon. I figure the extra $8 will be well spent, and I really like the aesthetics of it. No kickstand is a positive for me.

Because the outer shell is very rigid there is very little play to move the silicone lip. You have to force it hard to move. This is not a case for changing batteries. I'm actually scared to pull the phone out of the case. I had the otterbox commuter for my old Galaxy Note i717 and the material for the outer shell of that case is less rigid than this case. my 2 cents.

Thats too bad, I have to do battery pulls occasionally (especially now that the power button long press doesnt reboot) and I usually depend on dual layer being fairly easy to remove. Right now the Aegis case I have feels like its bad to remove and replace frequently - which is good I guess in general just cus its snug, but bad of you need to remove the battery once or twice a day

Just got this case in last night and it is a great case no doubt, beautiful, not bulky, and offering decent protection, but holy cow is it tight and both hard to put on and remove. It's a concern for me, as I need to change the SIM when traveling.
I'm really afraid to damage the case, it is the tightest fit of any case for any device I have ever owned.

My commuter case just arrived from Ebay. I quickly took the Verizon case off and polished up my shiny phone.
Case went on easy and fits perfect. The buttons press perfect. All cut outs are lined up perfect. The case really didnt add too much size to the phone. I didn't get the Defender for this reason. There is a nice lip around the edge so you can put your phone down face down safely.
I can really recommend this case. I bet I could drop my phone with no damage. Not that I plan on dropping it, but hey its a phone and im sure I will drop it sooner or later.

Not soft and squishy at all firmer that the outer rubber on the defender, I think. Definatly wont attract link and such

I got mine in today. I think I might eat a restocking fee and go white to match my case, although titanium looks good also.
I have 6 GN2 cases and this is the best case I have thus far, and not as bulky as I thought it would be.
Included screen protector works well and fits perfectly.

Wow, AMAZING case!
Questions.
1) Did you find a US distributor or did you have to buy it from other side of world and wait 2 weeks for shipping?
2) Does the kickstand feel like it is well made and will last? Looks kind of flimsy.
Thanks.
** An idea on how to protect it from drops. Stop by your local mall and buy a lanyard. Feed it through the speaker hole on the back and wear it around your wrist when using the phone. If you fumble it the lanyard will save you. Never hit the ground.

Looks like you can buy them on eBay for about $45 USD. Only problem is waiting to get it from Hong Kong via camel train and carrier pigeon.
Yes, their ad does say it supports NFC.

1. No, at the time (Dec 8th) this case was only available thru ebay and some foreign websites. Went thru ebay...it came from Hong Kong and it was during the holidays so the delay was expected.
They are slowly starting to sell the products on Amazon (directly fulfilled) as of last week.
2. The kickstand is NICE. Not flimsy at all. I looked inside behind the kickstand; it appears to be on a fixed track, so it slides easily. There is a metal piece on the inside that allows it to lock and stand in 2 places. Like anything, it probably could break but you have to be really hard on it.
3. The plastic used for the door is a bit stiffer that the original door. The whole case adds weight but in a good way. It feels substantial now. Phone doesn't slip when grabbing it now.
Thanks for the lanyard tip. I think I will go without one. I trust myself, lol. Btw, yes it has nfc. Also, they aren't too cheap. My case was 49.99 but they are 59.99 on Amazon. Also, Amazon only has the Carbon Fiber version of this (my first pick but wasn't available in the states at the time) in Black, White and Grey. Will be buying one of those this week so look out for more pics
I was on an escalator the other day and fumbled my GN2. That lanyard saved me. Would have crashed down 10 metal steps. Instead it just hung harmlessly from my wrist. Also, it comes in handy if you have to save a falling baby from a burning building and you don't have time to put down the phone
Yeah these are pricey but they look it. Glad to hear the kickstand isn't crap.
I am thinking black as well. Good for business. Tried an orange case once. Way too blingy.

Another quick question. How well does the cover fold back on itself? Is it super rigid or pliable like the Samsung OEM flip? Does folding it back make lasting creases in the material? My only concern is that since this is real leather it might not fold back as easily.
Thanks.

Yeah the leather is pretty stiff at first but its loosening nicely. There appears to be 3 indentions in the case to make folding easier. Gimme a sec, I will try to grab a pic (nice having 2 Notes around)
The front cover is thick and sturdy enough for me to use it as a platform. I do this alot, believe it or not, lol. Also so pics of the inside nfc...

Looks like real quality. Would feel better if it were an Amazon product. Always nervous about giving my personal info to some dude in China.
My SAMSUNG OEM case is fine and hate to drop another $50 on this phone but that is a sweet case.

Yeah, cant go wrong with Amazon. But take a look at anymode's website. The us version is coming soon but the international one works. You can see some of the cases that are available elsewhere. Looks like they are bringing all of these products to the states. Now I have to budget for like 3 more cases, lol.
The folio case with the mirror front is genius. You can see the screen and use the pen thru the front when the screen is on, but it looks like a mirror when its off. Genius!

Once more a new case, once more good materials and high cost. Once more no one care to think about adding a cutout for the notification LED to make the phone useful while standing on the table closed.

How is the quality of the leather adhesive? Any concerns the leather will peel from the back plate? How about the overall quality?

What are the thinnest Flex cases? Post pictures if you can. The only issue I have with the Flex if you call it a issue is that I don't want to hide the curves. lol I want the thinnest case. Might just have to go with a full body protector.
thanks
get this one bro; super thin, great grip ridges on the side, and it fits like a glove..

You have it? I might get the clear or red one. I guess a mall has cell phone shop that will like shrink wrap a protector on any phone/tab. lol I might take a look at that today.
yeah, I have the red one..its super thin, just like you are looking for..
problem with those shrink wrapped type skins is that if you drop the phone on its edge, on concrete, they wont keep you from chipping the phone...

Post some pictures of the case on your phone if you can. I just wanted something that will make the phone not as slippery with limited bulk possible. I'm not going to say what I want to say for the fear of jinking myself. lol

I will later today, after I exchange this defective phone...but trust me, this is the slimmest, thinnest tpu type case you could imagine for this phone..
I ended up ordering that case and another one yesterday. I guess I didn't need to start another thread.
Sorry mods.
sorry I forgot to post pics; got busy restoring the phone all day yesterday..
Trust me, if you wanted a thin, unobtrusive cast, you bought the right one..what other case did you get?

This one. Only a few bucks so what the heck. A local mall has a invisible shield store and I wanted to have them install one but they said it might be a week til they get it. Might buy one online and have them put it on. I'm kind of picky and thinking they might not stay on with a curved phone as well though. I've had clear plastic cases that don't add much bulk but that's not happening with a curved phone. lol
Fosmon HYBO-SK Series Hybrid PC + TPU Kickstand Case for LG G Flex (Black)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...N=B00HCNFVSO&linkCode=as2&tag=androheadl04-20
I had one of those on my one maxx; its OK, for a cheapo, but not as flexible as the other one you ordered..
for the price, its worth having around.
BTW, I had installed one of those skins on my flex; it was ok for a few days, then it started to come up around the round corners, so I don't know if one is good for a rounded phone like this. I am good at installing these things, but I couldn't get it perfect...
I'm still thinking about getting LG flip case. I know it's pricey but the discount helps and it provides good protection. Don't think you need a screen protctor with that case.

MPERO FLEX S Series Protective Case for LG G Flex
It's ok and doesn't add that much bulk. I don't think it fits like it should on my Flex because I have a Otter Box 360 on. I think I just want a pouch to put my Flex in when I go golfing.

Feather Shine
So I just put the Feather Shine on - it's a nice case, and looks pretty good. There's a strange thing, however: the corners on the front are shaped/recessed in such a way that when the phone is lying face down, the phone's top and bottom edges and corners are in contact with the table. I would prefer if the feather shine was what was touching the table.
I'm very curious about the Vest thing that LG has on their site. I can only find it (so far) from Korean vendors on eBay, with 3-4 week delivery times, so I haven't pulled the trigger. It seems to be minimalist protection, focusing protection exactly on the area I am concerned about: the front corners and top and bottom edges of the phone. Does anyone know someplace in the US that's selling these?
Thanks!
I have the quick window case. It's a nice design with nice patterns and such. The only thing I didn't like was that it really doesn't stand up to scratches much. It makes a nasty scuff Mark on the front of the door where it hits the back of the phone. I bought a vest from overseas last week for $20 on eBay. We'll see how that goes.

Not sure I understand the scuff mark. So the vest case overseas is the same as LG's but you save 40 bucks? Send me the link. Thanks
