I bought this on ebay for my epic touch and thought it would be cool to share with xda, check it out ... It's a Otterbox Note 2 Defender Case (look-a-like)
CHECK IT OUT
it has all the features of the defender case except the Clear protective membrane on touch screen or the Ratcheting belt clip holster...
I drop my phone once from getting out the car and it was on lap, the case protected the phone perfect, no scratch or hard impact...
Just sharing ... its not otterbox but its something cheap and it protects
The quality is equal to otterbox, I had Defender cases on my other devices and this is equivalent... the seller has 4-5 different colors, I got mines in 4-5 days
Does it have the foam on the inside of the hard plastic like the Otterbox?

Ordered, will report when I get it.
It's funny, the look-a-likes for most the big name brands: otterbox, ballistic, seidio all have counterparts that look almost identical to them design wise and perform nearly up to par, but at at most 1/4 of the retail price.
does this case have port covers like the otterbox?
That type of black rubber looks like it will attract dust/lint.
Anyway I'll probably get the white one.
Thanks for the link.

Not necessarily. The ones for my Evo lte and GS3 didn't.

Is this case easy to remove from the phone? Had one on order already just waiting for it to be shipped.
Had this case on my gs3 for 2 days then removed it. Its a bad fit. Holes dont line up. Rubber feels like a cheap dog toy. There is no padding on inner layer so it will scratch your phone. Bulkier then a defender. Its harder to take off then a defender. Just a bad case imo

Thanks for the info. Just ordered one. Nice price....
I've been rocking mine for a week now. Bad fit but I overcame that by adding black velvet tape I had for my home theater screen border. This helps it fit better and helps keep it from scratching my phone. The case still creaks when you handle it but not as badly. It's heavy. But I like it more than I hate it. I love portrait and landscape kickstand modes. Lint magnet, yes. But nothing I can't blow off by blowing hard with my mouth, as filthy as that sounds.

The buttons originally lined up perfectly and we're extremely easy to press, which is a good thing. But since I added my velvet spacer, sometimes I have to fight to press the side buttons accurately. In the end, I'm loving this case still. And no, mine came with no plus for the ports. Not sure if it was supposed to but thought it was.

No foam inside
I think the best part is it has all the features of the defender case except the "Clear protective membrane" on touch screen ... I think since were using a stylus ... a screen protector will be better then the loose "Clear protective membrane"

It's not like it's permanently attached to the otterbox...you can pull it out if you wanted to. Done it many times. And the s-pen works fine through screen protectors. It's not your typical stylus. I will continue to wait for the real thing personally.
And it doesn't have all the features...no port covers and no holster.

Well it's not like rocket science or something. Slapping some pieces of plastic together is not that complicated really.

Thanks, I just got it, fit perfect on mines too
got this cool case on ebay. its like a mesh metal texture. feels really nice. a little slipperier than the tpu case. but it's definitely slim profile. looks very good and fits perfect. it was 3 bucks and shipped in less than a week. i really like how this makes the phone look new.
Do you have the link to this case? I'm interested in getting it
Yes I am also interested in it

Found searching "Mesh Exhibit 2 case"
Linky
I really like the unibody cases. Any of the 2 piece plastic ones pop off if you so much as lay your phone down wrong. I'll definitely be picking one of these guys up. Good find.
Hello everyone
I have my note protected with incase but I am thinking about bumper...
I guess that I will buy only a good quality from a known brand.
Any ideas or experience from someone?
Thanks
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium
I personally don't think bumpers are great protection, so I don't have a recommendation for ya. But this forum has a bunch of bumper reviews, and you should start with the Draco. There's a review thread a few down from this and it seems to be popular and expensive (= quality?)

Do you have an Incase brand case? If yes, where did you get it? Incase doesn't make anything for the Note 2, but I wish they did.

I use an androidified tpu case covers the back and the sides. Without adding bulk.
Its fine for me but it is minimal protection.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317
In general I don't like bumpers: they modify the Note 2 aspect without a great protection, and also the large dimension of the Note with a bumper becomes unfit for an usage with one hand; only extra thin bumpers doesn't stop this usage.
I prefer a booklet cover. With one of it you can protect all the Note 2 and when you are outside you can see your smartphone with a landscape visual.
Bye.
Bumpers are SOOOO the way to go. The keep this giant phone as slim as possible, look great, and seem just as protective as any other case, except for perhaps scratches on the back plate, for which I have a film to cover. Plus if you use a wireless charging pad, as I do, they are mandatory. I have a Walnutt brand bumper (very nice, ebay) which I paid $30 for, but then found an equivalent product for like $3 shipped. I'll see if I can find the email and past the link.

The op was asking about opinions on bumpers, how does your comment contribute?

BobJ Gear makes a fantastic silicone cover for many tablets including my older TF300. They are very thick and rugged while being reasonably priced. Basically it allows every tablet to be eventually designated for "kid duty". The TF300 has been tossed by my kid at least two dozen times and it survived each time thanks to the BobJ Gear. Needless to say, I HIGHLY recommend this case!
ASUS Transformer Prime TF201 (TF201T) and Pad 300 TF300 (TF300T) - BobjGear.com
The case for the TF701 has been downgraded from "We will start designing it" to "On hold" likely due to decreased sales of the tablet because of all the keyboard issues. Now I don't actually need this case yet, I plan to use the tablet for another year or two before passing it to the kids. But when that happens, I want this kid proof cover available! At this point, I don't know of any other silicone case available or even in the works for our TF701, so this may be the only option ever.
BOBj's WORKBENCH - BobjGear.com
So, if anyone else interested, please send an email to [email protected] and tell them to put the case for the TF701 back on their list of designs to release. Thanks!
Just did. Hopefully, they will do it since there are not many "skin" cases out there. I saw the Asus Transformer Pad Infinity TF701T (2013) Carbon Fiber Skin Protector from Skinomi, but not sure that I want a "permanent" solution like that.

They already answered me... ! But they probably won't make one
Hi Technojo,
No, did not make a case for the TF701T yet. We probably will not make one.
We want to keep everyone up to date on all our projects, so we have created our website page Bobj's Workbench, where you can see all our plans for future cases.
If we don't have what you are looking for there, then we are not working on it, and are not planning it.
We also don't post dates there, until we know when we will have a product available for you. But as soon as we are confident in a date, we post it on Bobj's Workbench for everyone to see.
Please visit Bobj's Workbench, whenever you have a question about our future product plans.

I purchased the skin and screen protector. The carbon fiber has a really nice texture, and the fitting is just about perfect. It's not a complete cover though, you can see some of the original case, and the corner pieces are flimsy and require a hair drier to heat up and stick right(I'm a man) So I just cut them off. I'm not going to put my heat-gun up to a 500$ tablet!
It will protect from minor scratches from rough surfaces I imagine, but my knife cut right through it like butter, so it probably isn't meant to protect from very sharp objects. Still put it in a case though. Screen protector is of good quality though, perfect fit, however finger prints show up very visibly.
Hello,
I'm in the UK and I recently bought a poco.
Could you guys help me find the best cheap (£10>) accessories such as screen protector, case, usb cable, etc.
Thank you

Hey, I've been using my Poco for more than 3 months now and it's buck ass naked save for a screen protector (only because it ain't a gorilla graded display). I think you wouldn't need a case as it's high grade plastic and even on the off chance you drop it, there won't be much damage to the body (can't say the same for the display though ?). If you feel the phone might slip out of your hands and drop then I'd suggest slapping on some slick decals that would make your phone look cool as well as provide sufficient grip.
You can check out these 2 websites:
1. dbrand.com - they're the ones who started the decal game and still have it going strong. You can choose what kind of decal, colour and what part of the phone you want under the decal. They have some pretty sweet designs.
2. slickwraps.com - these guys came late in the game, but man oh man they're just amazing, you can go so far as to customise your skin with a personal photo and not just that, you can get your personalised skin in a glossy or matte finish! How cool is that!
As far screen protectors are concerned I wouldn't recommend using tempered glass protectors because they hamper the touch functionality. You can look for hydrogel protector and they're pretty neat if you ask me.
I hope that helps, cheers!!!

Karapaver wasn't any better, for me, than the spigen for protection, didn't look as nice, and offered no more protection for the front. The corner protrusions limit its car mounting options. I couldn't get this or the Ringke to sit properly in my brodit car mount. I either had to tighten the mount for the sides which made the case/phone difficult to remove or I tightened the mount for the corners and had the case rattle around cause it wasn't being secured properly in the mount.
Mileage may vary with other mounting options.

I'm sure that overseas shipping may be a limiting factor here. Unless these companies have UK distributors?

I live in Germany and they provide international shipping, you'll just have to keep an eye out for offers on shipping or discounts in general.
