Hi all,
I got to see the official Note 2 pouches from Samsung at work today. This should be one of the first reviews, it's a pretty cool product:

Five colours available, didn't review the light blue or the dark brown but they're pretty nice too.
When it will be available and how much it will be ??
Thanks in advance

They are on ebay, & Amazon. I just bought one in anticipation for the US release. Prices range from $17.50 to $25 shipped in USD.
Just ordered one of these from mobile fun for £14.99. Was gonna go for a flip case but having handled one I am a bit unsure if it will get in my way to much so going for the pouch protection instead.
woww.. that's really cool..
Got one in black for £7 (+£4 p&P) from Amazon.co.uk. Says it's leather, pretty sure they're PU leather. Still good quality though.
I can't find a case for this phone anywhere online. I checked amazon and googled it. People were talking about samsung.com, but I don't see anything specifically for the note 2 there. Can everyone just post links of places they got their cases? I really want a case before I destroy the phone. Thanks!

Samsung.com.
Shop products -> Cell Phone Accessories. Should be 20 pages of stuff
Filter for "Cases and Holsters" on the left. Should be 4 pages now.
Go to page 4. Official Samsung flip cover ($40) and protective case ($30) are there in 2 colors each. Use the 50% coupon from thread at the top of this forum.
Also, there is always eBay, and I heard Sprint stores have cases in stock. My T-Mobile store had no accessories
There are not many US-based retailers that have cases for sale at reasonable prices. I have a slew of them coming through eBay but most of them are third-party and shipping from Hong Kong. I checked the T-Mobile store nearby only to find that they did not have any accessories in stock and did not have any idea when they'd be getting them in.
Samsung.com, when I last checked yesterday, did not have any of the flip covers in stock for the Note 2. I put in a backorder on them but have no received an email yet.
Amazon.com, has mostly third-party accessories as well and it's difficult to find the correct items. Keep in mind that you can search for N7100, N7105, SGH-T889, SGH-i317 and many other model numbers.
Hoping within the next week or two that more US retailers begin carrying accessories.
Sprint
Anybody checked if Sprint has any accessories either?
Just called up T-Mo again, and again, "sorry, nothing yet. Looks as we got the phones early or something". Sigh...I think I got a simple one that should be here by next Monday...from Amazon.com
Well that's lame I'd really like to protect my phone. Can you guys post links to the few cases you are finding? I mean why can't we buy from European retailers sites? It's like they aren't selling cases yet either...
Just checked and Samsung.com is indeed out of the Flip cover, but they have the Protective cover in White and Black in stock.
This one looks decent for $5 and free shipping on Amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-HardBa...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I1D60SXXGX7LUY
This one is nice but seems priced high ($35). Also free Amazon prime shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I2EC7ERBS5SP29
This is the one I ordered to get me by until better ones appear ($20): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00961ADCO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Those are good thanks! And it looks like there are more related too. These must have been added in the last couple days as I could find NOTHING on Amazon last week.

More and more cases are showing up each day. I ordered that Poetic flip case myself last night. Got a notification that it had dropped to $4.95, and there was no shipping cost (even without Prime), so it was pretty much a no-brainer.
Saw that about the Poetic case myself too. Went to order it today and they wanted to charge something like $25 for delivery to Europe Thanks but no thanks. Pity.
If you receive delivery I'd love to read a review

I'm personally waiting for the Trident cases. I ordered a crap-case to tide me over until Trident gets their act together.

I'm particularly curious to know, when that case and the Note 2 arrive, if it can handle the phone inside of a TPU.
Speaking of TPUs, I haven't heard back from Diztronic yet on whether they're making TPUs for the Note 2. TPUs don't get any better than Diztronic, imo.
Wish there was a seidio case out.. Or something like it.. That was a nice case that protected well

I have bought quite a few cases for my Note original, and then my S3, and now a few for my Note 2, but i always come back to using this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Gel-Sil...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5d35b91c97
It is cheap and is relatively unobtrusive. It is thin and yet, sturdy enough to protect the phone from a drop from a table top. The sides wrap around the front of the touchscreen just enough to give it protection from putting it directly on a flat table top. The kick stand is very useful to stand this beautiful screen, especially for the kids to watch a show.

$4 free shipping from Hong Kong? Just ordered one, thanks!
If anyone has a Sprint store, they are selling a body glove case for $24.99 in store.

Another vote for the great body glove case.
I'm really surprised sprint has this nice body glove you all speak of.. I'll have to see if my sprint store had it.. Usually they have some dinky cases that are wayyyyy over priced

Mine hasn't come in yet, but I've ordered a few for the SGS3 and was more than happy with them. The only case that i would probably say is better are the ones offered by Diztronic. but when i E-mailed them asking if they planned on offering cases for the Note II they didn't seem that interested.
Contact Diztronic A COMPETITOR TO CRUZERLITE I AM IN NO WAY AFFILIATED WITH HERE
Had a chance to check out some of Cruzerlite's products today. Found out last night that the company is based 15 minutes from my house. Pretty surprised. I couldn't have been more impressed. I picked up a black, white, and clear case for my Note 2....and they are beautiful. The fit is perfect. Probably the most perfect fit I've ever had on a phone. The grip sides are great too. The buttons are perfect. The sprint store was commenting on how awesome the cases were. I'll have some pics up in a few days, but these cases are great. Excellent value and quality. The pictures don't come close to doing it justice. For under 10 bucks...no brainer. Thanks Joel!
How is it any better than any other tpu case? I just ordered the 3.33 one and trying to justify the orange one.

Having the Android guy embedded on the back with a different texture is cool..you can't get the vibe from the amazon pics, so I'll try to capture that in my pictures. Especially the black case. And these cases scream quality. They just look pricey. I've owned plenty of normal tpu cases for other phones. They were fine, but I feel like this case provides a better fit and a higher quality look.
Snapped pic of the black one with my phone real quick
I personally ordered orange blue and white. Will post pictures when they come.
All pics taken with my note 2. Not sure why xda rotated some of them.. I'll leave the cases unpacked if someone wants other angles. .can't take pic of case on the phone yet cause my camera is packed.

what are you talking about? i posted a link where people could buy cases, and then i encouraged people to E-mail their competitor so we had more decent options available to us.
If you think i'm 'making money from referrals' please explain how, and who is paying me. because i don't think Cruzerlite would pay me for encouraging people to contact a competitor. and i don't think Diztronic would pay me for telling people Cruzerlite offers decent cases.
Code above didn't work, try B2G1 instead for buy 2 get 1 free.... Thanks
There is another thread about a mod for the official Samsung protective case that allows you to use the case along with the flip cover case.
Are these cases "soft" enough that I might be able to cut one the same way (a "notch" on the left side) to allow me to use one with my flip cover case?
The website says they're "flexible" but I'm wondering how they might compare to the oem protective case which seems to have a pretty soft looking edge to it.
Any idea?

I had one of these cases for my GNex. It is a very nice case. I like the android dude on the back. It gives a good amount of grip to the phone. It did make my GNex noticeably bigger and with how big the Note 2 already is Im not sure if I want to get a case. I am very careful w/ my phones, though accidents do happen...
Either way, I like the Cruzerlite cases.
i get mine in the morningggg ill post a pic for y'all i ordered the teal one o; from amazon
I had their case for my Galaxy Nexus where it provided great protection and was also lightweight. I just ordered their case for the GN II and I'm excited to receive it. I went to the sprint store the other day looking for the bodyglove everyone has been talking about but ended up buying some bulky and heavy case from ventev.
http://tpu-cases.com/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=42_83&products_id=326
No pics are up but Clay did provide me with some rough samples. This looks to be far less bulky than the ventev and otterbox cases. I'll post pics once it arrives.

Yes, the other one was first, but I prefer to see images of the case on the phone. (like I'm sure most users would)
The TPU site doesn't provide that - this post does.
I vote to keep this one and kill the other.
Would like to purchase via amazon.

My case shipped out yesterday so I should have pics by Thursday or Friday. As for cutouts there weren't any for the Galaxy Nexus and that did become a pain however with the few cases I've tried for the GN2 the lack of cutouts is not a problem.

ooh. looks like they will have a clear one too... don't want to hide that textured back of the GN2!
Just got my case in. I like it much better than the case from Cruzerlite.
Edit: First impressions. Love the matte finish and the smoothness of the back. I wasn't much of fan of the back of the Cruzerlite case, but I dealt with it. Vol Up/Down and power buttons seem a bit a "clickier".
I'm jealous! I am still waiting for mine.. hopefully tomorrow

You'll most likely get it tomorrow! I ordered mine at 6pm on the 17th and got it today. I live in Chicago. The pictures you posted don't do the case justice! It's MUCH nicer in person.

Thanks for the reassurance. I'm waiting for mine. Bought mine on the 18th. Hopefully see it tomorrow as well.
Got the case yesterday and it is great! It doesn't slip, it's light, and offers very good protection. Without the case I would frequently hit the power button but there is less of that now. I wish I hadnt spent 30 bucks on that bulky ventev case from sprint.
If I didn't "need" a kickstand in a case, this would be my number 1 choice. Their case kicked ass on my Galaxy Nexus. This is the best slim type case with a great matte non slip finish, and the cost is always very reasonable. I wish Sammy made phones whose bodies were like this case lol.
I am hoping that the simple leather back only case from Samsung is premium and thin like the iPhone OEM leather case. Does anyone have any more detail on that case? Like height off the back and type of leather?
I want that case badly but doesn't look like it's coming to the USA, it's not on preorder on the Samsung website

It's not on Samsung's site, but I did find it on MobileFun (http://www.mobilefun.com/58017-official-samsung-galaxy-s7-edge-leather-cover-black.htm)
I know nothing about the retailer, but it seems like it's not going to be ready for 1 month, so that may be why Samsung didn't list it yet. I believe the same thing happened with the view cover when I got my Note 4, Samsung didn't have it for sale until a little after release.
I like it too, though Tetded, Sena, and Zenus seem like good alternatives. I only want a leather case.
The one case I'm really looking forward to is that case with the camera lense. I'm hoping it feels good enough to not have another case

For now, one can buy it directly from Korea. But even there, it ships after the 11th & is only preorder basis.
