Metal bumper case question.. For those who own one.

Does your metal bumper case have a slight raise from the side to prevent scratches to both front and back especially the camera lens?
Do you think it would fit with a slim case?
Please post a link where you bought it.
Thank you very much and pardon my engrish!

If you worry about the back, maybe you can just buy a spare battery cover from eBay. I got 2 and they are about 8 dollars each and they are both with nfc

I bought one a couple of weeks ago. I think the aluminium case gives good screen protection, but although it is reasonably low profile the few millimetres each side do seem to make the Note 2 feel much bigger. I personally don't think it's the most elegant case, they look OK from the front, but the back doesn't seem to follow the flow of the stock battery case too well.
Don't get me wrong, the phone fits in perfectly without any movement but not my cup of tea. I lose one bar on the phone signal when the case is on, NFC is fine.
Possibly a like or hate accessory!

Thanks for all the replies. That was my main concern. I wanted a metal bumper case that has a slight rise to protect the camera lens. I'm going to buy a ballistic 3 layer protection case since GN2 can be easily damage even at waist height drop.
Why ballistic? Because its relatively cheap, unlike otterbox and offers awesome drop protection. Had one for E4GT and money worth spending.
Thanks again.

i use that one. slight raises on the front and back to protect the camera. It adds a little weight to the phone but its not unbearable. I actually like it. I also got the armror suit military shield screen and back protector. Screen protector was not compatible with the case, cause when I removed the phone from the case, the sliding portion of the front peeled the screen protector off. and the added thickness of the armorsuit full body protector makes it very snug in the case. probably the reason why it the screen protector peeled off as I was trying to remove it.

Could this be the back or the bumper causing you to loose a bar?

The bumper in my experience is causing a loss of one bar. I'm in good coverage areas or around WIFI constantly so no big deal for me.

these bumper cases, esp the metal ones.. are they easy to remove/replace? As a frequent traveler, I switch batteries every night to make sure that i'll always have a fully charged spare.. I'd hate to use the bumper case where you need a small screw to open (i think I saw a bumper case like that once).

Where'd you buy yours? I'm looking for a coffee colored metal door.

If theres any UK users in this thread that wants a black aluminium bumper for free then let me know and PM me your address. I bought one to try along with a selection of cases but am unlikely to use it. Its a great fit for the phone and is a screwless design.......the front plate slides up and snaps into place. I bought it from the link below.

Best Buy Branded Platinum

So I picked a platinum case which seems like a re-branded Seidio, so it's not a bad case at all.
I have a concern and I did do some googling on Cell Phones and Flash Memory with magnetic fields. I've always been a firm believer you don't mix magnets and electronics. Everything I've read says it won't hurt anything with the flash memory nor the phone itself. My personal experience says otherwise. I had a magnetic pouch for once my for Samsung A990 and it caused weird screen discoloration when removed from the case. I also have had experience with another device and magnets. Two difference cases I bought for my Acer A100 which ended causing issues as well.
So really is it a good idea to keep a case with a magnet powerful enough to snap to my fridge around my phone?

Plenty of folks around here have been using a Platinum series or Surface since the day they came out without any ill effects. I've got a Platinum series case and I use it frequently, but I'll admit to using a TPU or folio-style case more often than not at home purely because I am very, very mildly concerned about the magnet. That said, it hasn't caused any distortion on my screen or anything like that.

Not an issue. Make sure to turn off under s-pen setting pwr management pen detection (when s-spen is in a holder or not) to avoid any issues with magnet interference.
Btw, I just got Seidio CONVERT which is Surface/Platinum with an extra protection shell on top of it. Just tested it out, took a ton of pictures, and will post a detailed review in a day or so. VERY IMPRESSIVE case. Defender was rushed in with lots of design faults. This one is a design perfection! And actually already sold out at Amazon where you can get it for $55 (which is actually 2 cases in a package, Surface and Convert kit on top of it). But anyway, expect a detailed review!!!

It really depends on the type of magnet and its strength if it will hurt electronics or not. I can't remember which ones are safe to use off the top of my head but a quick google search should turn up the answer. I know they are more expensive than a regular magnet so most (all?)cheap cases don't use them, but mid - highend cases *should* use them. I think it's a special kind of low strength neodymium magnet that doesn't effect electronics, but I'm not 100% positive on that. The magnet should be just powerful enough to hold the weight of the closure shut against gravity, but not strong enough to hold the closure shut against the weight of the device + gravity. So definitely no refrigerator magnets unless they are only designed to hold a sheet of paper and anything heavier will drag it down to the floor.
I like to break stuff!

Thanks! After my post I did a little more digging and found that some people seem to believe there is a dead spot with the spen even with the Seidio. I did my own experiment and noticed that the magnet is strong enough to hold a precision screw driver against it while I jiggled it. The screen responded to the magnet when held right up against it. I realize that I am not going to be holding it next to the screen daily or holding screw drivers. I ended up mixing the cheap Verizon cover with the holster and it seems to work well enough. I only planned on using the holster when I wear jeans anyway. plenty of room in dress pants.

I have a leather holster with 2 magnets that hold ot closed but the part where the phone is is shielded from the magnets by a sheet of aluminum sewn inbetween the leather panels. They also sewed one in the back panel as well to hold the shape of the holster as the leather is really soft. It makes a damn good holster, look and feel of soft leather and strength and protection of an aluminum box. And the aluminum doest affect signal as it actually has an antenna booster built into the aluminum plates. I actually get better signal near the holster. Although I can't remember where it came from since my dad originally bought it for the og note then ended up ordering a handmade one for like 200 $ and gave me this one. It has a sort of woven or carbon fiber texture to the leather. I'll get some pics of it later. The one issue it had was the belt clip wasnt riveted in so it came unstitched after a while of pulling it on and off, but I actually prefer using the belt loops on it now as it doesn't stick out as far anymore. Under a tshirt you can't even tell its there.

Ive been using the best buy case since I got my note. I dont notice any spen interference. But I also only use the spen every so often.

Just a friendly FYI. Platinum is Seidio. The only difference is Seidio is the name on the product if you buy it online and Platinum is the name if you buy it at a store like Best Buy. Don't ask me why they have different names for the same products made by the same company, they just do lol.

Case that holds credit cards? (FOUND ONE!)

UPDATE!
Ordered the TUDIA case from Amazon. It does the trick. It's not the same as her old soft silicon case for the S3, but she can fit her ID and credit card under the back and removing them is not much of a hassle. Great case for $7 btw...

Hi all,
My fiance LOVES the cheap jelly, silicone case on her S3 because she can put her ID and credit card behind it and leave her purse at home. It's an ill-fitting, crappy case, but it does the trick. It's loose enough that she can just take off the top bit and remove/insert her cards.
We now both have the VZW G2 and I'm looking for something similar in use. I'd prefer she had a real, fitted case that had a CC slot or pouch on the back, but I don't know if the weird camera/button layout will allow for it. Does anybody have any ideas?
thanks!

I love this wallet case so far, but limited space
Was pretty hopeless like most Verizon LG G2 owners because most wallet cases available on online were for international, att, etc versions - other words anything than ours.
A week ago curious about what verizon stores offered and found....
BELKIN wallet case- smells like real leather, holds cards, can fold into a horizontal stand and has proper cutouts in back. And it is NOT bulky- Price was $29.99 but used company discount 20%. Love it so far but fear that the plastic tab that holds the case close may break with repetitive use but supposedly the case has a lifetime warranty. We shall see how the tab holds up.
Here are some pics.
I keep a small screen cloth in between leather back and case that holds phone.
Also able to stuff 3 cards in holder with no problem.
And the notches where the card holder is located is a notch holder for three different angles for horizontal viewing.

Just bumping the thread as I found the case that works for this. Updated original post too.

After a little searching I guess the phone is slightly bigger then the tmobile/sprint version. But read that TPU cases will fit snug on it. I also read somewhere that the ATT variant has a extra mic hole or something?

I'm pretty sure that International/TMO/Sprint/ATT share the same dimensions, except that ATT has a mic on the back for noise cancellation. It probably won't be a deal breaker.
I was jealous too because Tmobile suddenly got this whole selection of cases available nowhere else. Hella overpriced too.

I got the tech21 flip case and the LG clear view flip from T-Mobile for my ATT G2. They fit great.

So does the case cover the mic on the back of the phone near the camera?

The black is $25 and white $29 on amazon prime.
Reading reviews, it seems like it takes a bit of effort to separate the case from the wallet.
And the band blocks the headphone jack if you're listening to music.
EDIT: Mine came in, used it all weekend. The card slots are hard to access. Have to kind of scrape with the credit card until you get it in the slot. You need to use the band to close the case, as the cover bends unattractively with a card in each slot.
The band does block the headphone jack, though you can bend it to the side. Though I suspect this will stress the elastic band as there are already signs of wear and I just got it.
It is a bit difficult to separate the wallet from the case at first, you definitely need a bit of nail to do so. But once you do it's simple. (I start at the right corner, work my way down until it pops out from the side.)
Overall, this'll do until I get my devilcase in. It's a bit too bulky over my supcase beetle or spigen hybrid, even without cards in the slots.
EDIT AGAIN: After about a week of use, I've noticed the same problems as the dot view, where it doesn't seem to detect the cover is closed. I have 3 cards in the slots (The max allowed) and the cover bows with the elastic band wrapped around. At it's widest, the case with phone is 3/4 inch wide. The elastic band is already starting to show wear, it may separate from the case any time now. I've probably wrapped/unwrapped the elastic band less than 50 times. Separating the case from the wallet has gotten easier, I no longer need nails.
