I got this case-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0083P0MI4/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
and this screen protector-
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008EO263I/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01
They'll both be here Monday, which is when my Nexus 7 (16 GB) will be delivered too. I have and have had products from both Moko and ArmorShield, and both are excellent quality.
I think I'm going to buy that case. For $6.99, it will hold me over until a better one comes around. I don't like it for permanent use.
I do want a screen protector too, but I only want the non-spray self-sticking (static cling?) ones. I bought one of those for my wife's iPad and it worked great. I bought a spray-and-stick one for my SGT8.9, and it sucked (Zag).

Well, MoKo makes good stuff, it should last a while, I think they are just doing the deep discount to get in on the Nexus 7 frenzy. I agree on the Zagg's, I don't like them either, but ArmorShield, Skinomi and BodyGuardz are all good ones, they all make dry apply and wet apply. I usually go for dry apply on phones, like my Galaxy Note i717, but on bigger things like tablets the wet apply ones are easier to install and work with, at least for me. The ArmorShield's are really thin, don't yellow and are not sticky like the Zagg's, which is one reason why I dislike Zaggs too.
Just ordered that case as well. Can't beat that price with prime shipping.
Thanks for the post.

I ordered the case a few days ago and already got it. It's actually quite nice and more indicative of its real price and not the $7 I paid for it.
I ordered a moko one that has the magnetic sleep/wake function. Sort of a gamble because there is only one pic, but it looks like it can function as a stand as well.

Nice. I just ordered it too (got the last one). I tried canceling my earlier Moko case order but wasn't able to in time. Assuming this case is good, I'll just return the other one for credit.

Weird. It said there was one left so I ordered it. Now it says there is still one left....

I received my armorshield screen protector yesterday and just installed it this morning. Had no issues, used the wet solution that came with it. I agree it is not as sticky as the zagg ones. The armorsuit skin has already dried and looks great.

Right on! I have been pretty impressed with their stuff, Skinomi's are a little sticky, and Zagg's are ultra sticky of course. With the ArmorShields, the little imperfections will settle out over the next couple of days, and if for some reason it goes crazy, they will just send you another set out.

I haven't checked my mail yet, lemme go see...
Update-Yep
Dear buyer:
Sorry for another intrusion but we just came across this report and
thought we have to share it with you:
http://www.tomshardware.com/news/White-Nexus-7-Case-Stain-Clean-Black-Nexus-7,16302.html
With the same porous plastic material, we are concerned that the black
back on the retail version could also be susceptible to dye to some
extend. It may be embarrassing but we have to admit that we did not
have this issue in mind when our fist batch of Nexus cases was made.
Although the case has NOT left any mark on neither of the white or
black Nexus 7 we have after a short period of normal use, we would
rather be overcautious and have more intensive tests done before we
can comfortably let you use the case, even as a temporary solution. We
definitely could not afford to have you as beta-testers on this issue
with your brand new tablets and would suggest you hold off using the
case until you get further confirmation from us or a replacement case,
hopefully within 5-7 days.You can be assured all our future shipments
will be fully compatible with Auto wake/sleep feature and free of any
staining problems guaranteed. You will get to choose any style you
prefer from our whole selection of Nexus cases as the free
replacement.
I understand most of you will get your Nexus 7 today and I am really
sorry to disappoint you with this message but please do excise caution
if you have to use something else on your Nexus. Again, I apologize
for the inconvenience and would appreciate your understanding and
patience in this process of getting the right protection for your
Neuxs. This is what we do and we will do it right for you.
Please also let us know if you have any comments or suggestions.Thanks, Jim
WOW, I don't think I've had such good customer service, at least not that I can remember! Most companies would be like "Oh, sorry about that case we sent you last month, it probably left marks allover your device,sorry, but we can't do anything".

I know, I'm shocked too. Question: you just ordered the one case in your OP, right?
I ask because I ordered TWO cases from this seller. The one you did, plus the $12.99 smart case they came out with on Sunday. I wanted to make sure that this email was about the first case, not the second one (or both).
I am really shocked that they would have gone so far to help their customers for something that cost $6.99 shipped. I was actually going to return that case, since I got the better one, but I think I'm going to keep it just out of support of the seller.

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far
These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!
Any updates on this?
I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.
OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:
$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

Currently there is a deal where you get a free TPU case (i think thats what it is called) with the purchase of a $30 FlyGrip.
He also mentions how you get a discount by using his name at the checkout.
I am almost convinced to get one, but would like your input on this.

Not sure if it would add too much bulk
Pricing with shippingmmakes it quite expensive for us international buyers
I've been using it for about a week now, and haven't regretted that decision. It's definitely a must if you're using your N2 a lot with single hand. I'm still waiting for Aduro case to release their awesome kickstand case that they had for the GSIII:

I've been on the fence with this since i saw a video review of these a few weeks ago. I am horrible about ordering things online. I search the heck out of them and then never buy anything. I really like to see things in person.
I really like the idea though. Seems like it would really make the phone more comfortable for me. I have the flip cover and i usually have one finger between it and the back of my phone which gives me a pretty secure grip but after a few minutes my poor finger starts to feel smashed back there.
Maybe i should just break down and go for it. I could use the free case for testing the mod for using a tpu case with the flip cover.
So indecisive....

Too bad they had super expensive shipping to Sweden
Sent from a big Note 2
I got one. The guy is real easy to deal with. I had to swap mine from white to black since Tmobile had no white Note2s. He did it without issue. I carried my phone for a week w/o the clip and now about a week with the clip. I find its a nice bonus. I mostly use it when I'm relaxing and holding the phone at odd angles. Its great for that, very secure. In day to day use I don't really use it since my TPU case has really good grip already.
I had my phone for almost a week before I got my flygrip. In my opinion it makes the phone much easier to use one handed. I have maybe slightly above average hands and I can reach the whole screen easier with it. The stand feature is very nice too. I have mine on a body glove and feel extremely confident I have a very secure grip on my phone when using it. Weird angle gripping is much easier as well. I would recommend one for the GNII 100%
Regurgitated From My Giant Note II
What time curious about is how easy it is to transfer between cases or devices. I saw a video of somebody removing the FlyGrip and it looked to be some super adhesive material.
How resuable is it exactly?
Edit: Took a closer look and looks like you could grab a pack of 3 replacement adhesives. Was really excited for it despite the price since you could say it's justified with the TPU case throw in....but unfortunately the shipping code "QBKING77" is limited only to the States. Really disappointed since I'll have to pass just based on the shipping costs.
Sent from my GT-I9100M
I had one on my Sensation, and am awaiting new adhesive, but I LOVE my Flygrip. Thing is simply amazing. I didn't think that I would get 30 bucks worth out of thin cheap plastic, but I've been sorely tempted to pickup a second one for my tablet. Also, they have pretty good customer support, I've called three times, and it's always the same guy that answers. I actually prefer this to the kickstand cases because of the one handed grip support. I can't text on my bike without it, especially with this phone. I'll upload a couple pictures as soon as I get my sticky backs

I just took mine off of my Sensation, and it wasn't as bad as I thought it was going to be. It took some forcing to actually begin to remove it, as it is really pretty damn strong, but once I got it separated from the old case it was simple enough to just rub the remaining residue away. It does leave a very clean rectangle on whatever case you put it on after removal lol.

So emailed FlyGrip with some questions. Response was very quick, not to mention a nice surprise with the great customer service!
" .... Additional tape provided”, are there extra adhesive tapes in each FlyGrip package? Or that we would have to buy the pack of 3 if we were interested in replacements?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Flygrip comes with (1) extra adhesive. So after you remove it, you can put the new adhesive on.* "Some" people try using the existing adhesive.* It depends on how sticky it still is.* We recommend to use a new one, but sometimes the adhesive is sticky enough to reuse.* We sell (3) packs for $2.47.

Also, a shot in the dark but I'm wondering if you do happen to have any promotions going on for international shipping (namely to Canada) as the FlyGrip was something I was immediately excited for, only to see the cost of shipping.

I asked my manager. You can USE "INTL5" as a code, to receive $5 off shipping.

Tl;dr Each FlyGrip has one extra adhesive, and use INTL5 for $5 off international shipping.

Looks great but $30 is a lot for what it is. I'll wait for the cheap eBay HK version
Love my FlyGrip. I enjoy knowing I'm not going to drop the phone, but I really purchased it because I'm an ex-EVO user and knew I'd miss the kickstand. I use it as a kickstand whenever the phone isn't in my pocket. Right now I'm using the free case that was included, but I'll take it off in a few weeks. I usually don't go for bold colors, but got the blue kickstand and a royal blue case. Nice looking.
He has lots of videos on the site to help with making a decision. Oh, no, it doesn't add bulk, it's only 1/4" deep. USA made and the packaging is very good looking, would make a great gift.
I think it's a smarter decision to look at these.
Amazon Wisefinger Options
Much cheaper, and they look more versatile.
When I had my Note 1 I looked for hours for a case, couldn't find one I liked just just ordered a cheap crappy one until I could find one I liked, in the end I found an okay one, but was still cheap and just rolled with that. But it wasn't what I really wanted. Ending up selling the phone a few months later, not based on the case.
Today I have ordered my Note 2, and the same case problem has arisen. I've spent a good 2 hours watching reviews, searching the web and I haven't found anything I like. The one in this thread is okay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030149 But link was to US Ebay and auction has ended. I searched elsewhere but cannot find. But still would be like my Note 1, kinda cheap and just go with it.
But it's still not good enough. With the iPhone that I currently use, although not perfect, there are a number of top cases and is a little easier to pick a case. So my question is, is a case really needed? I'm not clumsy and rarely drop my phone, but always buy a case just incase. But looking at the Note 2 cases, I just cannot find one that suits my needs. Low profile, but good overall protection. Those otterbox cases are huge, plus the phone is huge itself.
I've looked through the "what case do you use" thread and I didn't see a single one I wanted to get.
A phone that big, you definitely need a case, unless you have hands like André the Giant.
You can't tell me that you perused the Note 2 accessories forum and couldn't find something that would suffice? I come across good TPU stuff on eBay all the time. Look harder, they are there.
Scott from DBA Cases is selling that case on his website if you are interested in getting that one. He has about 20 left. I dropped my phone once and it cracked the back cover, so I'm always going to be rolling with a case from now on.
I think that choice is up to you, but based on what you said I think you answered your own question. I'm in the same boat right now tho, except I know I atleast want some protection for the chrome trim. There are atleast 5 iphone cases Ive seen and would have bought if they made them for the note 2

Dba cases sells em. Plus the owner can help you if u have any concerns.
If you want an awesome case (I have it for my S3, so I'm sure on the Note 2 it'll be huge), check out Urban Armor Gear. Their cases are awesome. Cases for the Note 2 are about to come out.

UK shipping cost is the same price as the case
Short answer, NO, you don't "need" a case. Whether you want one is up to you. All my phones run naked through the wilderness, and I have yet to have any break in the rare drop I've had. IMO It's a bit of insurance, and like extended warranties that stores, car dealers etc are always pushing I quit buying them years ago, and figure the money I've saved on all those little insurance policies will more than pay for whatever it is I have that may break, and I'll just buy a new one. Of course I am am in a stable financial position to be able to do that and if everything I own broke at once I would have issues, but that's my thoughts.

I feel ya its the same shipped to canada. Contact scott for a coupon or maybe buy tje jlg screen protector with the case to offset the shipping cost.
Just dropped my brand new Note 2 in the parking lot and cracked/spidered the entire screen. $200 through insurance for a replacement.
So yes, a case is worth it.
Normally I forgo the case. This is the first phone that I have one for. The thing is the chassis is made with %10 butter. It's gotta be the slickest phone I've ever held. If I could find a backplate that's made with that hard rubbery material and a kickstand I'd probably go with that.
I ordered that case from DBA Cases, thanks for the info or damages. Not sure it will fully protect even from a drop, but it's worth a go. Still a little disappointed by the lack of really good cases though. There doesn't seem to be that in the middle perfect spot like some other phones.
I have never dropped my phone. I can also say that a big part is due to the case. My cases usually add some grip. Just in case I ever drop my phone, the case is already on there. I never run naked more than the 20 seconds it takes me to take it off, clean off my phone for dust or debris, and then put on another case.
END OF STORY!
Don't be a fool, wrap your... Phone...
Once again, Urban Armor Gear is probably the best case you can get for the S3 and Note 2.
You need food water and shelter. You dont need a case.
It is a good idea though
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
It only takes one good drop and your screen could crack. The choice is based on the amount of risk you are willing to take (and if you have insurance)
God forbid you do actually drop it you'll kick yourself for not buying one....especially after writing a post about it!

When I had my Note 1 I looked for hours for a case, couldn't find one I liked just just ordered a cheap crappy one until I could find one I liked, in the end I found an okay one, but was still cheap and just rolled with that. But it wasn't what I really wanted. Ending up selling the phone a few months later, not based on the case.
Today I have ordered my Note 2, and the same case problem has arisen. I've spent a good 2 hours watching reviews, searching the web and I haven't found anything I like. The one in this thread is okay: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2030149 But link was to US Ebay and auction has ended. I searched elsewhere but cannot find. But still would be like my Note 1, kinda cheap and just go with it.
But it's still not good enough. With the iPhone that I currently use, although not perfect, there are a number of top cases and is a little easier to pick a case.

I had a similar torrid time trying to find a case that I like and I agree that the bulk Otterbox adds totally turns me off. In the end I just settled for a standard TPU case until I can get my hands on a UAG.

Depends. A thin case won't do anything to protect against drops. It's more for scratch protection and for 99.9% of the people out there, it's just for style/fashion.
It depends. I've never used a case. I've had cell phones for more than a decade and I've never broken one.
You can't make it totally impossible to break your phone. But if you're careful enough, breaking a phone will be such a rare event that it will cost you less than all the years of buying cases would have cost you to try to prevent the rare breakage. And cases don't always prevent breakage anyway.
Beyond the matter of protection, some people prefer the aesthetics of cases, while others have the opposite preference. So it's really up to you.

I assume you have looked at Mobile Fun Galaxy Note 2 cases. They have about the best selection in the UK. I went for one of the Zenus cases. I have liked them since I first had one on my original Galaxy Tab. I like the one I have as it is quite low profile but protects nearly all parts of the Note. The only thing i don't like is that they have used a press stud for the closure rather than the magnetic clasp they used on my Galaxy Tab case.

EXACTLY what I say all the bloody time! The only thing I miss about the iPhony device is the sheer number of quality cases and accessories for it.
You know what, after having purchased multiple cases for all the phones I have used; GS3, GN2, GS2, GNex, N4 yada yada, I have come to the conclusion that with the exception of iP5, every single phone looks better WITHOUT a case. Just as the manufacturer intended it to be. Everything else just looks like an appendage. Sure, you run the risk of dropping your phone and breaking it, but then hey, you also run the risk of killing yourself every single day when you drive. Doesnt stop you from driving, does it? Doesnt even make you get a tank of a car just to be safe.
Here's to running butt naked :good:
Seidio listing "Google Nexus 6" in requests area on site. Cases/Accessories to come?
Awhile back during my investigation on the Next Nexus phone I went searching through Accessory/Case makers hoping that they would give me any information/potentially leak information on the Nexus 6.
Ultimately I found Seidio referencing the Google Nexus 6 in their requests page http://www.seidioonline.com/Articles.asp?ID=303
Hopefully they will be releasing cases soon for the N6, what would you guys like to see? Personally I am hoping for one of their durable cases since the one I had for my N4 protected it for the entire time I had the device. Hopefully we will not have to wait long for cases to come out!
seidio drives me crazy. iphone 6 comes out and they have every case under the sun ready to ship the day the damn thing is ANNOUNCED. google releases nexus info (including specs) and you get crickets from them. here, fill out this request form and wait
Moto x 2014 is listed in request area too, but they've confirmed on Facebook to me that there is no current plan to support.
I hate apple, but they are king of accessories. Guaranteed millions of sheep will buy their phones.
UPDATE
I was able to contact Seidio awhile ago on the matter and today they responded! https://plus.google.com/+LouKohn/posts/bR1i8TmdFQy
From post reply:
"While we don't have any finalized plans for accessories for the Nexus 6 yet, I will be sure to forward the interest in these products on to our product development team."
Hopefully it means we will be seeing something come down the pipe in the near future for the N6!
So just like the note 3, cases will come out 3 months later.
i find it fascinating that i have to tell a company to make cases for a phone that nobody is able to keep in stock. sold out on 2 different days via google in 0.5 seconds and today sold out on motorola's site in less than 5 minutes. and all this at $650-$700. if they need me to request that they make cases for it then they are incredibly stupid and don't deserve my business...

Being sold out because you sold 5 million in a couple days is different than being sold out because Google doesn't know how to do retail launches. I would imagine it is quite difficult to gauge how much interest there will be in this phone after the initial sales.
perhaps, but it doesnt change the fact that this is a flagship release and their lack of support is dubious. take a look at their site. they offer cases for just about every phone in the universe on there. but nexus 6 which is launching on all 4 carriers they have to wait and see? beyond lame

Yea they already missed the window to get buyers...all the pre-orders are shipping soon and they don't even have products ready yet.
There goes 1000s of sales. Poof. I'm one of them. Got a Moko holster/case for $2USD and not buying a Seidio for this device.

I got the $1.95 Moko, and the case seems solid! But I hate the Moko holster with a passion. If Seidio did come out with N6 cases, I'd buy one just to use the spring-loaded holster.

Totally agree I love the spring loaded holsters. Any chance of best buy putting out that platinum brand that has them or are they seidio?

I have only been particular to otterbox and seidio. Hopefully Seidio comes out soon (since otterbox hates nexus for some reason)

I will if I see one.
Seidio did the same thing at the Nexus 5 launch.
I'll still buy a surface case when it's released. I always do

I have used the Platinum brand case from Best Buy a few times on some of my older phones(it's been a couple of years). Those were just re-branded Seidio Surface cases. That's not a bad thing though. The case and holster were much cheaper at Best Buy than on Seidio's website. So, unless it's different now, you won't see a Nexus 6 Platinum case without seeing a Nexus 6 Seidio case first.

Good to know, thanks! I like the Seidio line of cases.
Not yet... but this page was updated a few days ago.
