I got a nexus s and I got a tpu amezer case and is pretty good but my only
Complain is that a lot of dirt and dust be getting stuck in between the cracks
Of the front screen so I was just wondering if there's a case out there with a tighter grip around
The screen........
I do think the MOMAX case is a great case for NS. But it's a must for having some dust problems no matter what case you are gonna use.

The s-shape case from amazon or ebay is definitely the best for dust and everything else

Not really. I've used that case and dust will get stuck around the screen and somehow it'll get inside. This is from my experience though.
The ringke case keeps dust out pretty well. None around the screen. Does a better job than the previous cases I've had. Although if you stretch it a lot it'll loose its tightness.

Been using the Ringke case and have not seen any dust or lint being attached onto the case.
I've previously used the Case-Mate Pop case. No dust or lint on there either.
Ringke: Low-Profile case. Want a better grip but don't want it too bulky? This ones yours.
Case-Mate Pop: Worried about dropping the phone and want the ultimate protection? This ones yours.
I'm really considering getting the Ringke case is it worth it

Yeah it's a good case. Very low profile, doesn't really add much bulk. Better grip, there are numerous reviews out there including YouTube videos that would help you make the decision.
Only thing I had with the case is aligning the case with the phone. When I first put it on, I saw the cut outs were like kind of off. But when I saw the videos, you had to realign it. Other than that it seems pretty good.
An alternative to the Rearth Rinke case would be the SGP Ultra Silke case, which is almost the same but with a little different design, and comes with the claimed-to-be one of the "best" static screen protector out there (Steinheil Ultra Crystal Clear)
look for the trident cases its around 35$ but well worth the money, right now im using the seidio active case and its awesome with the exoskeleton frame

Don't know about the Trident, but I found that dust got into the sides of the Seidio Active X case. The rubber on it is pretty stretchy/flimsy even though it is held on by the exoskeleton.
I bought the seidio and it attracts dust like a magnet,its ridiculous

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 fellas,
Got my hands on another case for the Note II, this time it is the Tridea Italian leather flip case. It is reminiscent of the SGP Valentinus case, although it is much more affordable and not as bulky. It's a folio style case, so it features a front flap to keep your display protected. Unfortunately there is nothing to hold it in place, so it tends to flap around. The ports and cutouts are spot on, however.
Check out the full video review below;
great review
Cheers! Happy to help
do you reccomend this case mate? i would like one with the flip cover to protect the screen, but would also like a case tough enough to protect my phone in case of drops or bumps. it looks like flip covers are all "light" protective, while tough cases are way too bulky or do not provide any protection to the screen (no plastic film protectors for me! i hate them!). thank you a lot!!!
The flap actually isn't a big deal. I've been using a similar case for a week now and unless you have a giant pocket the flap stays shut.
I actually prefer not to have a magnetic or grommet styled securing device.
And let's face it. as for drop protection, these type of cases just don't compare to the UAG or Otterbox cases.

So basically you say that this case goes for style and look and moderate protection, while the others go for enhanced protection, right? Just as I thought... Does it exist a tough case as uag but with a flap or such to cover the screen? I am afraid because of 4 hours of commuting a day... A little bump or sudden train braking may make me drop my phone.. And I wouldn't trust only a plastic film to protect the screen. Holsters like otterbox defender one, on the other hand, are uncomfortable to use while in the crowd and one handed..
Thank you for your suggestion, this case looks superb, but maybe it's not the right thing for me...

I keep hoping for someone to make a UAG with a flip cover.

I just returned the case to Amazon for 2 reasons.
1- The flap was warped - and did not cover the screen right.
2- There is virtually no top or bottom protection - the device is held only on the sides - the top and bottom are naked.
On the plus side - I have'nt seen a product with this good quality - in a long time. It is a really well made case - just not tough and protective enough for my taste.
Im using this one for few months and I like it.

Question about those with slim cases. I have noticed that most of the slim cases are not snug at all four corners. I have two right now, the ringke slim and the elago slim, and both have issues that prevent me from using them.
The elago case doesn't fit snugly at the bottom right or left corner. It is very easy to press it off of the phone. The ringke doesn't fit well at all and when I pick the phone up the sides flex in and creak. That drives me nuts.
I'm looking for a slim hard case that actually fits well. It doesn't have to be paper thin, but I want it to actually fit snugly and almost be a challenge to remove. I am sort of anal about my cases and these kind of fitment issues drive me nuts.

Case-mate Tough (REVIEW) and Case-mate Pop! (REVIEW) will fit that category. Tough is ridiculously slim yet made of two layers, while Pop! is a molded two layers and to hard to remove that you need to push on the camera. Based on your description - those are definitely two cases!

I have the Speck Candyshell and I'm mostly satisfied with it (still searching for the right case). It's 1 piece, hard plastic along all edges, covers all 4 corners, and fits snug. It is slim given the 2 layer protection (plastic and silicone). Two things make me unhappy with it: 1) it has no grip and very slippery; 2) the black plastic shows every scratch (its also available in pink, which probably hides scratches better).
I may try the case below since it's similar to the Candyshell.

Thanks for the suggestions. So far I haven't been able to find one I really like. It seems like most companies are trying to go so thin that they aren't making a case that fits well.

Spigen SGP slim case. It fits very tightly (no moving or creaking), covers most of corner areas and comes with a great Spigen screen protector. Only $20.
Thanks, I just ordered the Spigen. I will see how it feels. I couldn't stand the elago, the corners would almost slide off with no effort. I'm used to a very strong click when a case pops into place, and that case not moving unless I basically pry it off.

I use a Mercury pink case I got from Amazon, which is slim and snug. The right corner is exposed, but it doesn't interfere with the phone staying in place at all. There's different colors sold separately or two sold together.

Get this case! Fits slim and great, great feel and decent protection. Very slim and pretty good grip. I have gotten 4 cases and this one easily wins hands down. $20 may seem a bit steep, but it is well built and you won't regret it!
I do not have 10 posts yet, so may not post an outside link... But it is the samsung protective bumper cover case plus for note 2... Look it up on amazon

I own several cases now, but sometimes cheap and simple ends up beating the rest. The one I use more often is still the X-Line TPU. It is ridiculously cheap but a very tight fit and with a very good texture that really gives extra grip. It also looks pretty good, which is surprising for cheap TPUs. I strongly recommend it.
4.4/5 at nearly 60 amazon reviews.

This is a good, snug, and fairly slim TPU case that I got after trying and returning the Ringke and others: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WDWBH6/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It comes in several colors also.

I picked up that case last week, and have been using it ever since. It's very snug on the phone, but still easy to get on or off as needed. The holes line up perfectly, it's very comfortable to hold, plenty grippy, and looks much nicer than the $3 price tag. Back is a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but not a terrible lint collector. Doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all.

I have one of those ultra thin 0.5mm cases that's almost not like having a case at all. I don't ever drop my phone, but prefer to run one of these cases to prevent scratches on the phone. Best of all, it's under $2 shipped, and doesn't have any open edges, which makes it stay on the phone very well.
I can't post links due to post count, but just search on ebay for, "Black Ultra Thin Semi Clear Plastic Cover Case Samsung Galaxy Note 2"
I use the elago G6 slim case and I absolutely love it.
I've never had a problem with it popping off and I'm not overly gentle with it. Everyone uses their phone differently and it obviously didn't work for the OP, but I just wanted to stick up for it a little bit.
Hey guys, I'm getting my note 2 in a couple days so I have been looking at cases. Id like a nice quality one which looks good and isn't overly bulky and possibly even with a kickstand.
My budget is 30/40 bucks max.
I've been looking at the seidio active and the uag one. Thanks

Been looking for one myself. I like the Ballistic one, but it doesn't have a stand.
I know someone who has one for the S3 and it seems to work great
Platinum Series (Seidio Surface at Best Buy), or the Poetic or Bear Motion folio cases. There's also a rubber/plastic hybrid called the Rhino or Rugged case on Amazon, and I've had pretty good luck with that one.
Trident Aegis
I honestly think the best case for the Note 2 for my needs is the otterbox commutter. I doesn't add too much bulk, protects it very well (almost as well as the defender, see the link below), and has port coverings for to stop dust and other small particles.

UAG all the way. I've had both the active series and just about all the others. My main beef on the active series was that it actually looked a little cheap. Also the top and bottom of the active series is too flexible so in and out of pockets isn't like the UAG.
It's pricey but it looks like a $40 case. You get your money's worth. I haven't used the screen protector but I really like that it includes one.

Can't really say anything about the UAG case since I don't own one. But when I myself was trying to figure out a heavy duty case I ended up with the Otterbox Commuter as well. Compared to the UAG cases from what I can tell, the otterbox has dust cover openings for both the headphone and micro usb ports as well as a dual layer case vs the UAG just one layer.

This 2.00 case and 4.99 shipping making it 6.99 shipped works excellent. Has a abs plastic exo skeleton and a rubberized skin. The exo skeleton locks onto the skin and has hard and soft protection at all 4 corners and has kick stand built in to the exo skeleton. Also comes with another holster type case that has an articulating clip that will go from portrait to landscape carry it too has its own kickstand
I dropped my phone from 4 feet and it bounced on 3 corners before it stopped and not a thing wrong with it .

Commuter case for me at the moment. Good double layer protection an i like the lips size of the edges feels like this case can take a drop from chest or ear height with no problem.. well lets hope so.
Considering buying a Defender just to do the extended battery mod. Probably get it in black since they say black makes things look slimmer Lol
