I'm going to be picking up my Note 2 tomorrow. Does anyone know which cases are available at retailers? I'm really interested in a white body glove or the official samsung "Galaxy Note™ II Protective Cover +, WHITE"
I know I know, I can call in the morning, but it seems like asking employees over the phone is so hit or miss.
Thanks!
You can't find any here in Las Vegas. If you don't need one right away, go to the Samsung website and register your phone. A few minutes after doing that you'll get it email with a 50% off coupon code that's good for 1 month, the Samsung website has a couple cases you can order and get very cheap since you're getting 50% off. All the T Mobile stores here in Vegas said they won't be getting any cases until the middle of the month.

The Sprint store here had the flip case in white and gray and they carried the black body glove case but were out of stock on that one.

i got my free flip cover along with the phone. but actually there's no indication of any price on the box of the flip cover. it's has "not for sale" on it. but if i need to purchase the same exact cover, then it costs nearly Rs.1800 or 1900 in the local samsung store
Update...Germany /Dortmund...

No Free flip cover for me.. As they told me that it's for the initial batch.. Later batch don't come with it.. Anyway I'm from singapore..
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
For a Freebie it's okay but I wouldn't pay the asking price for it.
I would spend a bit more and get a leather flip-case.
The build quality of the original flip cover is good and although its meant to be free with the device, the indicative price is to enhance the perceived value as there are negligible customers who would buy it.
By the way, the WHITE flip covers are EXHAUSTED in the Indian market and you will have to (wait or) take the dark blue flip cover if u are taking a white device.
The flip cover is unique in the way it replaces the back cover and hardly adds any thickness. It feels pretty cheap though and I wouldn't pay more than maybe $20 for it.

Got mine yesterday afternoon.
It took about 2 weeks. I've ordered it at 26 January.
Hi All,
I am using the flip cover. Compare to other cover it is good to use.
Also the cover is not at all of cheap quality , I guess it justifies it's price of Rs 1799 as i have another HTC phone Desire HD whose back cover itself is some 2600 at HTC show room.
So the Note flip cover is well justified and suits the device.
I got a Blue device with free blue cover.
Now planning to order even a White cover as well to give it new look
Where can you order white flip covers? Would like to have a backup as mine feels like it would self destruct any day.

anyone know if they are going to make one for note 2
Have you tried contacting them? Usually they won't have one until it is released in the US.

yes fired them an email today
They put protector tint on my ex galaxy s III back door. It was excellent job.
Is it worth using it instead of a case for body protection?
I haven't used any zagg shields before but à friend of mine had one on his nexus one, and it was looking awful..

In the Galaxy Note 10.1 forums, many complain that the Zagg feels terrible with the rubbery S Pen tip. Drags a lot, they recommended those crystal clear ones like those from ClearPlex. I dont think they have one for the note II yet tho.

There are a number of them available from Amazon. The Galaxy Note Zagg/BodyGuardz had the same issue.

Zagg sucks go for a Glas.T when they're out or if u can't wait go for the crystal Spigen available on amazon right now

I hope best skins ever make one for note 2 I allways use them much better than zagg and cheaper.
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the user manual recommend NOT using a screen protector? Something about it interfering with the S-Pen.
But yeah, I'd go with something other than the invisibleshield, as stated above it adds a lot of friction (in my experience) and you get a sort of orange-peel effect.
FYI looks like they ship 10/24-10/26 for those who were waiting
http://www.zagg.com/invisibleshield...es-screen-protectors-covers-skins-shields.php
Ok, call me crazy, but I find myself wondering how much use I will get out of the pen. I am used to android and navigating with my fingers. As well my ipad too.
What about the zagg HD it feels just like glass compared to normal or anti-glare zagg I don't think it will feel too rubbery. I've had zagg since my hero days and I love them. I'm waiting for US release of GN2 and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get zagg HD for it as long as one comes out for it. I'll report back and let you guys know how it is.

Anyone ever use Skinomi? I have a friend that always uses Skinomi screen protectors (and a full body guard once I believe) and always gets a PDAir case. I've never used them, but he swears by them.

In my experience the Xtremeguard quality was less than stellar. I've tried a few wet application urethane manufacturers and found the Xoskins were excellent with good customer support, but they are more expensive.

As an FYI, the skin protectors are good against scratches not drops. I know it's common sense but I had a perfectly self applied zagg shield on my Nexus One and it fell off my night stand and the screen broke. After that I went out and bought a Seidio Surface Case and haven't looked back.
They had a Zagg skin on the display model of the original note I tried out at Target and it really didn't work very well with the S-pen, as stated too much drag, felt awful. Something between that feel and the too slick feel of the naked screen would be perfect. I thought I had that right after applying the Spigen Ultra Crystal, it was just right initially but it became as slick as the glass after a little finger oil accumulated.
Keep away from this guys the zagg for note2 really not good i hv bought one from bestbuy before yesterday and i have regret to buy, toutching is not good, all not good at all, i just west 27 usd for nothing, ill go and buy sgp from amazon

Looking to pick up a real Samsung flip cover today. Have a T-Mobile 30% off accessory coupon. Before I waste gas, do the retail stores have the Note 2 flip covers on the shelf?
Edit: nope, just called a few. "Not yet"
Stop in a local Tmobile looking to accessorize my International SGN2 and they aren't expecting accessories until next month.

Expect them to be in stock around 11/7
If you don't mind spending the extra few dollars go to the Sprint store and buy one. The case says Samsung so it's all good.

Tried a local T-Mobile store this morning, no accessories in stock. So much for making a splash on one of the best phones of the year.
Once Sandy blows her way through here, I'll try to stop by a Sprint store.
I checked a Verizon store just because it's next door to the tmobile store. lol desperation. ..
Has anyone actually confirmed them at Sprint?
Sprint store had white and black when I bought my phone. Ask for 20 percent off and they will probably give you the discount.

I highly doubt a discount will happen if you (I) am an ATT customer. Are they $39?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
The 20% off is when you buy 2 or more accessories.
Just got the Samsung flip case from a Sprint store!
I went in just to get whatever they might have to protect the phone a little while i decided what i wanted. They said they had sold out of the other style (the one that clips on over the back and sides) but they had the silver and the white flip cases.
Fyi they did offer the 20% off if i got a second accessory but the only other thing i want right now is maybe that spare battery charger and they only had the s3 one.
At least my screen is protected for now. I will have to be really careful until stores start carrying some other cases that i can try to see what i like.
I like the look of the fly grip too. Wouldn't mind attaching that to the flip case.

If you can wait like a week or more, T-Mo has a 30% off accessories coupon you can use

They are talking about the body armor gel case. I bought that one and flip case in store the first day. You can get the gel case online at sprint.com
Yeah right now that's the only one that isn't back ordered on the Samsung website. But i didn't want to wait for shipping and i wanted to try the flip case anyway...so it worked out perfect for me !

I bought the JKase Premium Quality Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 GT-N7100 Streamline TPU Case Cover - Retail Packaging - Clear from Amazon. It was cheap and I was able to get fast 2 day shipping with Prime. (can't post a link yet since I am new)
This case and my Note 2 will be arriving tomorrow. I hope the case will be enough to hold me over until a better deal comes about on a name brand case. I'll be pairing this with a Spigen screen protector.
Im using the white and grey case mate case from at&t. The reason, I billed it to my company.

Same here. I also have the Proclips mount in my car, meaning I have to take the case off to use it. The Body Glove case comes off and goes back on very easily.
Also bought the body glove one from sprint. Was worried about cases and adding bulk but this seems to be minimal and my phone doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of my hand every time I hold it.

I went to several Sprint locations, and none of them had the body glove case. I was also hoping to get something with a belt clip.
The only case I found locally in stock for my Note 2 was at the AT&T store and it was a white/grey CaseMate with a built in kickstand I think it cost $38 and did not come with a screen protector. Wish Otterbox made a Commuter style with built in kickstand for the Note 2.
Case
I bought the Ringke SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case. It's slim. adds very little bulk while protecting at the same time and got it off of amazon for 10.99 on sale from 25.00. I added the Spigen SGP Ultra Oloephobic screen protector and it's totally protected. I love them both.......
Have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-An...6902&sr=1-2&keywords=cruzerlite+galaxy+note+2
Goes really well with the Titanium Gray Note 2.
$5 Ionic Position folio-style case off of Amazon. Offers good protection, looks good, and doesn't have a magnetic closure (huge!).
I just purchased a Seidio Active-like case off of Amazon to use until the Seidio Active combo either comes down in price or shows up at Best Buy for 2/3rds of what it costs now.
I also just returned an Amzer Shellster because it was a piece of crap that broke three days in. Spending $6 to return an item that I'll get $14 back for, after spending $5 initially to have it shipped. Really thrilled about Amzer's customer service policies.

Plus $2.95 shipping. I was interested in a white case but I have enough cases already, including the black samsung tpu case. Not worth $13 for a case I dont really need. Good deal if you dont have a protective cover case.
Sent from my phone. Please excuse the sspelling misstaked amd gammar bad.
Well $9 plus $3 is $12 .
But it's not that bad a deal. Last I checked I could get the Samsung TPU for $15 with a discount. The normal price is $30. I figured it might help some peeps that are interested. If not, then no harm done by posting the link.

OP, thanks for sharing the info with us!! I had already been interested in the white Samsung TPU case, and considering getting it. When I saw this deal I just couldn't pass it up!! I already have the white Samsung Flip Cover, an Incipio case, and another case, so I'll probably rarely use this case but just had to have it. For every phone I've ever had I always buy way too many cases, and normally just carry the phone naked. Oh well, it's just money after all. Lol. Thanks for sharing! I've never dealt with either company before, so I'm hoping that shipping doesn't take too long. I'm looking forward to receiving this in the mail! Thanks again!!
EDIT : Oh, and for anyone looking; Best Buy sells the Samsung Flip Cover for $39.99 plus tax (saw them in store yesterday). So $12.95 shipped is a GREAT deal!

Before I pull the trigger on this. I get to the screen where it says "purchase" but don't believe I had the option to pick the color. This is extremely dumb if I don't have a choice in this, white cover wouldn't go so nicely with my titanium note. Anyway is this just me or can someone confirm I'm doing something wrong. Thanks.
