Tpu cases on ebay

Just found out that there are a few cheap TPU cases on ebay now for the Note 2. They are top quality but should protect my baby for a few weeks before other ones come out

Yeah I saw a few on there the other day. What kind of case do you really want? I've been a big fan of TPU as they have protected my EVO and EVO3d very well.

I have bought these 3 cases so far to go with my WHITE note2:

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251150214926?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
But ultimately I will get a dual layer case such as Otterbox .....although I have taken off Otterbox on my Note 1 recently and replaced it with a TPU which makes the phone much thinner
Hopefully Otterbox and other dual layer case makers will make WHITE colour cases to go with my white note 2 :fingers-crossed:

I love tpu cases, it's all I've ever used with my n7000.
I like the Mercury brand of cases, they have a glossy and non rubbery texture.

It does come with screen protector, but because of the S-pen , I wonder how will it react.

Generic screen protector good as any premium

I just wanted to share this very cheap screen protector i bought off ebay. I originally had the one from the sprint store that covers the screen only but the s pen scratched it everytime. I bought these and it covers a good part of the front unlike the sprint one. Ive had it for a week and used the s pen ALOT and not one scratch. If i had to compare it to one id say its as good as the one that comes with the UAG cases. Its very clear the screen is very responsive. I posted some pics along with the seller. I really think everyone would be happy with these protectors

I agree, bought mine from the same seller. Smooth and doesn't scratch like some other screen protectors I've used. Would definitely recommend. If you don't want to pay $13 for a single SGP, can't go wrong with these.

Normal. It's not oleophobic or anything like that. And it's not a matte protector either so fingerprints will show.

What about marks from using the stylus?

I think after a week i stopped noticing finger prints. And as far as the s pen there are no marks from the pen. And i also noticed with the sprint protector it scratched just from taking it in and out of my pocket. This one dosent. Ian very happy with it

Bought this generic from Amazon for $4 :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009KT4ONQ/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i00
Easy to apply to both front and back though the surface is not as smooth as the gorilla glass. Seems to be giving good protection for the 1+ week I have been using it.

I preffer the skinomi solution

I used the XtremeGUARD protector on my screen (not full-body) for about a week while waiting for SGP protectors to come in. The S Pen marked the protector up badly. Use those XtremeGUARD protectors--and any wet-apply protector--only if absolutely necessary on the Note 2.

I would agree if we didn't use the s-pen. It only seems fluid if the screen is naked, or I am using a ultra crystal screen protector. Then, it's almost slippery. Now if I could not get dust underneath AND line it up right, I would be happy. Very difficult with this damn enormous screen, lol.

I ordered two sets of these a couple days ago before seeing this post, now I'm excited to receive these I had ordered some ikross branded ones from amazon two weeks ago which turned out to be crap, hopefully these are a lot better.

I agree with the OP. This screen protector is excellent and does not scratch with the S pen like the Sprint store screen protector. I did have to sacrifice one when applying because of dust under the screen and there is still two microscopic one on the second screen protector but it does not bubble up so I am leaving it there.

[Q] : The Largest*Screen Cover

Hi,
As I changed my Gel case for a thin TPU one, I now have a small problem
I'm using a budget screen cover and all around it, there is a 3 to 5 mm zone where there isn't any protection.
I didn't notice it earlyer as the case was a lot more thick...
Could you please advise me a clear screen cover which is closer to the border of the phone ?

The pic isn't great, but shows the problem

Funny just received my skinomi for note 2, it covers the entire screen. S-pen works, don't press to hard to void the squeak.
I have used skinomi for every gadget I own, but I since I have a cruzerlite case I need a screen protector that does not cover the entire screen.

You may want to check out the Just Like Glass. I haven't seen or used it myself, but the CEO does come on here and discusses the product.
From what he says, it's designed to leave 1/16" around the phone so people can use it with cases, such as a TPU, and not have the case push on the edge of the protector, per user requests. Sometimes, the cases push the protector up, which can lead the dirt getting under it or peeling.
I'm going to order one when they become available again, which is expect next week. I'm coming from using Zagg protectors the last four or so years.

That sounds great! Exactly what I need. I'm gonna have a look at it

Most screen protector manufacturers don't go all the way to the edge because of the rounded glass samsung used. I can attest to this, you don't want a protector up that far on the glass, because it will peel after a few times going in and out of your pocket. I only had this happen with wet application protectors (Ghost Armor and Zagg HD are two I used, both failed). I switched to SGP's Ultra Crystal, which feels like the original glass and doesn't reach the rounded part.

Zagg Invisible Shield

I have a HD Zagg Invisible Shield installed on my Note 2. Not happy with all the marks made by the S-Pen. Does anyone have a normal or smudge-proof shield installed on their Note 2? Does the S-Pen mark up the shield? Thanks.

I'm using these from amazon. No problems. Plus lifetime warranty.

I'm using those too. tech Armour. they suck. the application is easy, but I already scratched a hole in it so it's easily damaged, which means it's barely protecting your screen.
I've been looking at getting just like glass.

That's disappointing. Mine still looks great but I haven't had the phone too long. Have you tried any warranty claim?

this is what i use, and it's great. can hardly tell it's there and no marks whatsoever after a few weeks of being on my phone.

I have enjoyed the one sold by sprint worth no spen marks. They have a lifetime warranty too, with free installs

From what I've read, I've seen happy results with Spigen or Just Like Glass. I believe JLG claims better protection, but Spigen has a little better coverage. I have the "pink" Spigen one and am very happy. Install went perfect, lined up well and if you're super careful with dust, a dry install is fine. It's also a 2-pack so you can replace it when it gets marked up.

I'm jumping on this "Zagg is crap" train. SPen smuggling everywhere after only a week. While Corning is smooth under the fingers, Zagg is slightly less rougher than sandpaper while attempting a scroll. Way overpriced. And buddies, if you ain't a master at applying, you definitely just wasted $25! My advice: pass up the Zagg aisle.

I have Just Like Glass. It's been 10 days, and there are still three bubbles of solution under it. They are shrinking steadily day by day, but it can take two weeks to clear up. Application was easy. Surface is slick and hard. Gonna be cool once the bubbles FINALLY evaporate.

I have a Skinomi Techskin on mine. I got it for 50% off (Came out to $10 with free shipping.) When my package came in there was an offer to redeem a free Skinomi screen protector. Pretty awesome if you ask me. The one thing I am worried about it cases. I don't want to get a case that will peel the edges up or anything. :/

same here i am going to return mine

My son just got his N2 and all they had at Best buy was the Zagg. He got it for some peace of mind until I could see him last weekend. I had an SGP oleophobic ready to go . I took a good look at the Zagg before removing it and it looked like the crazing you seen on old pottery. Horrible. I put on the SGP and he was like ”wow! Look at how beautiful my screen is!”

Best Buy has a "New & Improved - Smudge Free" zagg invisible shield. Along with the High Definition version. The Smudge free doesn't feel rubbery like the original Invisible Shield, and has a stronger texture than the HD version. I would still prefer the HD version because for some reason the smudge free one feels very similar to the Anti Glare 2$ protectors from Amazon/eBay

What about Ghost Armour? Is it any good?

Yes. I had it for nearly a year and a half on my Motorola Photon and it worked quite well. I used a microfiber cloth from time to time to clean it. Other than that it was pretty much forget it's there.

Note 2 Otterbox Commuter Case Review

Finally I have the commuter for the Note 2
Here is the review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzDGAmVdXQQ
Overall I really like the case and its more me than the defender

Can you do a drop test?

I could but it has been proved many times before that Otterbox cases protect the phone in drop tests.

Thanks for the review! I have owned Otterbox cases in the past and they were OK (my old iPhone 4S Defender case was not that good though - it lost its original shape pretty quickly)

That's true, however I have yet to discover ANY for the note 2 commuter. I'm sure it'd get pretty popular being the only one in existence. Since the note 2 is so much bigger, I'd like to see if the result s are the same.

I find myself using my defender more often now since my phone has taken a few dives off of tables from sliding in the commuter case. You could always put something like a fly grip on the back, but I personally find those to be ugly.
I still use my Commuter, but the defender is a better case design (remove built in screen protector) and the size difference is minimal between the two cases.

In the defender thread there someone complaining that after he removed the screen protector from the defender the screen was scratch by touching the hard inner plastic.

I wouldn't know. I use a full coverage screen protector so plastic doesn't actually touch my screen or bezel and I have yet to see any scratches on the protector. I'm not sure how plastic can scratch a gg2 screen considering the hardness of the two materials. Perhaps he got the scratch from a harder material and didn't notice till later
