Hey fellas,
I usually post my reviews on the S3 forums, but recently got my hands on a Note 2 for a few days and wanted to throw some coverage up. I got my hands on the Rearth Ringke Slim Lite, which is an ultra slim polycarbonate case that snaps on the back of your Note 2, providing scratch protection to the back and sides. The rear features a matte coating, which helps provide grip to minimize drops. At 11$, the case is well priced and is made well, the ports and cutouts all line up perfectly.
Check out the full review below and ask any questions, I'm here to help:
Good review! Thanks
:good:
thanks, very informative review
just waiting on my nillkin to arrive but i might have to order this instead
Glad to help out guys. I have videos on the SGP Ultra Crystal clear and a few folio cases coming soon.
I notice with most of the snap on cases for Note 2, the top/bottom front edges seem like they are exposed on impact because the lips taper off instead of going all the way around the corners.
Is that the case with the Ringke too? Hard to tell from the video (watched on mute).

Hi guys,
Got my hands on the Ultra Silke from SGP, a slim fitting silicone case which wraps around your device offering both scratch and drop protection. Similar to the Ringke, all buttons are perfectly covered (easy to press) and the cutouts are spot on. The polymer coating aids in keeping dust and fingerprints off your case.
Watch the full review below:
Very nice. Thank you
That case looks kind of flimsy compared to the tpu amzer
Case and the ringke case but good video
Thanks for the kind words, always a pleasure to review stuff for you all
I've got the PDAir Aluminum Case and the Proporta Mizu Shell coming up soon.
It looks somehow weird in my opinion, but yeah. Thanks for your review.
Appreciate the comments!

Hey Guys, I have been waiting for this Case to arrive! I have always had my UAG cases as my goto cases for my phones. But as many of you on the forum, I switch cases often. It really depends on what I am doing or where I am going. UAG just started shipping these out. I got the ICE version. It features slim design, light weight and great protection for your phone.. It doesn't bunch up the screen protector either. I don't have a glass version to test but I will report back once my ICAREZ comes in. For now my Supershieldz is holding up nicely. No lifting at all. But I have the dents the film gets.
Here is my review of the product
My favorite cases at this time are the Spigen (Kickstand), Supcase Unicorn beetle, and the UAG.

Each to their own but it's far too bulky and ugly for me. No point in having a phone that looks as fantastic as this if you're going to change it to something from a 1960s Star Trek episode.
Nice in depth review though.
Really love u uags cases, protected my phone from 4 meters drop! (and of course smaller heights).
It's main disadvantages are it's price (including shipping to my country) and the plastic screws at the back are annoying in my hand.

Can't wait for nine to come in. Shipped from UAG direct in Japan.
I love them. The design on the back provides nice grooves for your fingers to rest in for one handed use.
And maybe it's the military in me, but the tactical look is bad ass. I get complimented all the time with my note 4 and lg v10.

I don't know why you guys are waiting for it. I got mine 3 days ago a small cellphone accessory device. 48$ Canadian. But it doesn't come with a glass protector. I don't thing I will need one since the case itself provide a wide protection for the front panel. I really like it so far.
Can you guys post some pictures of how these translucent ICE cases look after being on the edge for months? I am looking to upgrade my S4 (with black UAG case) to S7edge, and really don't like these translucent ICE cases. I wish UAG would make a black case for S7edge (just for me if not every one else ). I don't like the look when you can see through the case, distorted print/logos on the phone is visible. Also worried about how much crud accumulates under the case and is visible. Also with these translucent cases, there is no second layer of soft rubber protecting the whole phone, just on the corners I think.
Also, how well has the UAG protected your S7edge after many months of use? Better than "Supcase Unicorn Beetle", it seems to be next closest to this "tactical style" that UAG came up with.... and they have black
Thanks in advance!!!!

Well subscribe to my YouTube channel. I will be reviewing case's from cover up which have genuine wood backs. Carbon fibre cases from evutec, Uag, casemate, Ballistic cases, VRS cases etc I hope you all enjoy ?
Great videos, do you think the spigen rugged armor would fit with a full coverage temepred glass? or shall i get a tempered glass which only protects the 'front' ?

Hi thanks for the kind words, I doubt it would fit with the full body protection. It might but the case won't fit correctly. That's the curse of the edge screen, it would also depend on the thickness of the glass, 0.33 is a no in my honest opinion. I will try it out as I am waiting for a full body protector, subscribe to my channel as I will make a video on it on YouTube plus I have loads more case's coming up.

Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.
I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

I've used this on my s7e & Axon 7 and loved it. Bought it for my note 8. Should receive today. It is a thin case. I've dropped my s7e many times on concrete and it survived.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.
I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

It wouldn't be as good as the bigger cases but I don't think it would do that badly... Spigen make good cases.
Yeah the sides I don't really notice.. Its probably one of only types of case out currently like this, the rest are a little bigger and bulky

I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and it is pretty good.
However the Samsung Clear Cover Case is far superior and you don't even notice it is there
Something about clear cases that I don't like. On the sides it looks weird. I have a clear one but it's just clear on the back the sides are colored.

It fits with dome glass. Just got done installing mine. Lots of room.
I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.
I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.
I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!

I have that one does your finger print scaner work with that case? I had to cut mine out a little.
Fist off i tried a Cruzerlite case and not only was it a slightly baggy fit there was no camera protection at all, a shame really as the Bugdroid cases they used to make were brilliant. As this was being returned the Spigen case became available and it is far superior.
The Spigen Rugged Armor is an excellent fit, it feels at one with the phone if that makes sense and all the cut-outs are perfect and the camera module sits around 1mm below the surface of the case to offer it some protection, overall an excellent case that i would recommend to anyone without hesitation.

Any options for a belt clip holster?
Also what are your thoughts on some of the other Spigen cases for this phone
Sorry i have only used this Spigen case in particular but i cant praise it enough really, the fit is exceptional. The UK price for it was £9.99 and it was worth every penny really.
I forgot a link to it in the first post.

It's a decent case but do wish the back (bottom) was a bit thicker to provide a greater recess for the camera circle. At $11 on amazon it's a bit pricey, but spigen materials and fitment is top notch. 4/5 stars.
I have always been using Spigen case with my OP2 and OP5T. Their cases are perfect. This time I went with OtterBox clear case as I wanted to see the blue back. Perfect fit.
Anyone know if it is compatible with Original Oneplus 7T 3D Tempered Glass Screen Protector?
Or any of the Spigen cases are?
