Just got a mail from seidio, saying that obex case would prevent access to s pen and make it uncomfortable to use, so they won't be making such a case. They instead suggest to go for the convert case, rugged although not waterproof (which, if you ask me, is like giving bananas to someone asking for apples).
I'm really sad and disappointed about this choice, since they put a poll on their site for next obex case and note 2 was leading the chart by many many votes. I see their clear point in this decision, though I wouldn't mind having to open a separate hatch to access my s pen, just like you need to do with other ports, and I would cope with reduce sensibility in exchange for waterproof protection.
That said, I am asking you fellas: is there any comparable case for note 2?
Maybe otterbox is considering an armor case?
Please don't tell me to look for the griffin survivor knock off case that I have seen in many threads here : I am looking for something with similar ruggedness but better look and reduced bulkiness and possibly waterproof. Obex seemed the perfect choice to me: indestructible, slim, good looking!
Cheers to everyone!

I asked otter about the Armor case for our phone and they responded that they aren't going to make that type of case for the note 2.

Let me ping them. I know the decision is probably finalized, but perhaps they might listen to one more opinion... The whole point of waterproof case is to use it in extreme environment where NOBODY going to pull out their s-pen, unless you are planning to use it as a weapon lol!!! The problem with a hatch/port cover - in order to be waterproof you have to meet specific military standards of being submerged under the water. Having a flip port cover even with tightest fit won't guarantee it because of the water pressure. But for sure, that OBEX case looks like it can take some serious beating!
or, try this.

Official reply from Seidio:
"Unfortunately, we did announce late last month that we will not be making OBEX for the Galaxy Note 2. We wish we could fulfill our customers’ requests however; the OBEX is designed to be a waterproof everyday case and obstructing the S-pen would take away from the functionality of the Note 2."

Lame some of us bought our note 2 without even caring about the pen

R: Seidio won't make OBEX case for our note 2
I got the same answer, plus something about "look at our other products we make"
Well it looks like we and seidio have different point of views, moreover they have to look to businesses and incomes, sells and so on, so I can understand that it might not be worth the effort for them...
Anything similar we might take into account? Any news about an otterbox armor? Thought I read somewhere they won't be making it also... Really bad luck for us note 2 users!!

Long shot but there has been a post on their Facebook page asking for "other" reasons they wouldnt put this into production. If we can all support that post, perhaps they will see we would like to purchase.
If not, anyvother smaller suppliers that specialise in aterproof casing we can bang on the doors of?

With a resources of small supplier, it will take them at least 2-3 months to design, to test the prototype, to iron-out fixes, to get all the certifications (it has to be tested to military standards), and to get manufacturing in China up and running. Note 2 is already 8+ months old phone at the end of it's cycle. Do you think anybody even cares about it? It's a sad reality.
Resurrecting an old thread, I know, but I had to laugh when I saw that Seidio released an Obex case for the Note 3...which....uh....also had a S-Pen.... Oops.
I've since settled for a waterproof bag type "case" to take my Note 2 fishing. I participate in online catch, photo, & release tournaments and they use a phone app for submitting photos out on the water.
The only thing that sucks is I can't get to my S-Pen... Haha Kidding!
hey all!!
i was searching for a cover for my n7!
there are a few things that a i want it to have, but i cant decide!!!!
see the second post and you'll know why am i confused?!
some of them look just like each other! what is the difference? which one should i choose? what can i do?
1. smart cover:
i heard that there are smart cover for n7, though i searched ebay and amazon, but couldn't find anything i wanted.
2. slim:
i use my n7 mounted in my car sometime, so it shouldn't be big and thick! else i think it wont fit in my dock anymore...
3. designed for n7:
i saw some cases which i could fit it in, but since they were not designed for n7, so they wouldn't have any space for speaker, or volume or etc.
4. stand:
not very important, but if it has the ability to work as a stand in different angles, it would be great
5. close able:
you now, have something to grip the edge of the tab so the cover wont open by itself.
6: ?!!
i dont want to put my tab in it , i want it to have grips to have my tap from edges, so i can remove my tab whenever i want!
if you have a case you like, can you please give me a link, so i can choose?
i am really sorry if this is not cool, but after a while this forum can be changed into "all you need to know about nexus7 covers" or i dont know, "nexus 7 covering thread" or sth like that. thanks.
so?!
i found these cases which i think are cool!

hi, thanks you for your answer.
no its not a spam, i see a lot of models available, and i dont know which one to buy, i'm confused. i was wondering if people could help with a tiny review of their cases, like the above ones, so others can read them, and decide which one to buy, or at least help me choose!
hi again!
another question if anyone is willing to answer!
i found out a design , produced by a lot of brands.
for example, look at this link:
http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-fit...8&qid=1389427748&sr=8-3&keywords=moko+nexus+7
i found the same design bu moko, poetic, easyacc, i-blason and etc.
which one is better?
and also when i looked at the images in poetic's official web site, the speakers cut, covered half of the devices speaker, but in amazon's pics, the cut is holes, on top of the speaker.
which one is it?!
Zerolemon
I got a battery from them. I hope they have a case for Nexus 7 as they have for Nexus 4.

I've had this case for few days and it suits my needs perfectly:good:. Every review is nothing but a personal opinion at the end of the day.. so i'm just trying to give my views here in order to help anybody who has the same requirement.
Below were my requirements and how this case fulfilled it:
1. Protection with Feel & look of leather: As much as I wanted to carry my S6 edge case-less, I was always scared due to my hyper active 2 year old son. Thus, I wanted a case which covered the phone fully so that I don't have to worry when I leave it unattended at home. I've always been a fan of leather bags, wallets & phone cases.. so, this case was a natural choice and I wasn't disappointed. I love the feel of this case.. the leather is full-grain leather , which is basically real natural leather.
2. Travel friendly: I like to travel light and having NOT to carry a separate wallet and a phone with its case in addition to my car keys was indeed a BIG PLUS. All I really need in my wallet is my DL and couple of credit cards and this case did the trick for me.
3. Kickstand feature: There are times when we are outside and my son wouldn't eat anything unless I put up some videos for him to watch and get distracted.. Again, this case came handy.. just prop it up without ever worrying about the wear & tear on my S6 edge's edge part!!
The only area of concern that I can think of is - a scenario wherein you have credit cards in all the pockets of this case which would make it quite thick to hold comfortably.
Anyways, this case works for me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Below are some pics and the link to it's Amazon listing:

Yeah, I considered doing the review special for this as well. They sent me the email with the discount code but the part that got me was this:
"please remember that , while you accept the coupon , you are agree to leave a 5 star review on amazon( We will provide best customer service) and you need to start a new thread with pics review one this forum "
If they expect me to agree to a 5 star review before I've even tried their product, it's not really a review, it's just paid advertising. IDK, that bothered me so I didn't do it. I'm glad you like the case, it looks nice.

I was actually looking for a case with my above mentioned requirements, so this fit the bill almost perfectly.
However, even I was pestered for a review which I didn't really like.. (though they didn't ask for 5 stars & I didn't give any 5 stars). So, Yeah.. I agree with you. That's kind of shady.
Disclosure: I obtained the case with a heavy discount in exchange for feedback also. The discount has not affected my response/review.
The points you hit in your review is essentially exactly my feeling regarding the case. It's great as an alternative to carrying a wallet and phone if you don't have much to carry. I don't have any kids so I can't comment on that aspect.
Overall though, I like it but it won't be my daily for the moment due to how I use my existing case.

Would like to test this out and provide reviews. I am currently testing a couple of your other cases too.
I would like to see something like the Lifeproof nuud. Nobody makes anything like that. I hate cheap plastic built in screen protectors, and believe Gorilla Glass 4 is good enough for most screen protection on it's own.
It's edge drops and water in ports that can do most damage to phones I believe.
In case you don't know what the nuud does, it's basicly your case with a gasket against the screen instead of a plastic screen protector on the front.
I bought a Sup case that I removed the screen protector from the front, and the camera covering from the back. It's OK, but buying something would be better than having to mod a case.
Thanks.
I'll try one out

I'm interested as well and I'm curious to see how an otterbox type case will function with the Note 5.. Will contact on Facebook for coupon code.

I am always willing to try a new case. I am currently using the Otterbox Defender so I would be able to compare your case to the actual Otterbox Defender.

Btw, I just got a 5ive branded case from amazon and while it's protective, it also weighs a ton. Be interested in seeing what you guys came up with. If I missed the freebie, I'll still buy one.
Would love to give this one a try,

so has anyone actually received a coupon code yet? after I posted here I sent them a facebook message, they responded that I needed to like their page, share their page, and before I use the coupon I needed to put the case on my amazon wish list, which I did. But they never actually sent me a coupon code LOL. I've messaged them a couple more times about what else they want me to do to receive this code and get no response now. kinda bogus. Guess you could say customer service is already in the crapper.
Try the coupon "artech50" I used this coupon a while back and got 50% off. It's a nice case, very very sturdy
I would like to give it a try if still available. I have sent you a Facebook message. Thanks.
I see there are only 17 replies to this offer. I would really like an opportunity to write a review for your product.

I requested to test yesterday morning and got the code by FaceBook early this morning. They apologized for the delay as they have been busy. Seemed like a legitimate response.
Yes, they finally got back to me with a code, but it was after I asked to review another one of their cases, not this one. which kind of makes me sad, I really wanted to give this one a try. But I won't complain, at least they finally got back to me.

About the Real Aramid Fiber.
Two advantages:
1. Aramid Fiber, Ultra-light, ultra-hard, ultra-thin. Wearing it on a mobile phone is like nothing. It hardly adds weight to the phone, never colour-fading.
2. It have excellent touch experience, Skin feel.
One disadvantage: Due to the ultra-thin material, screen may not be effectively protected.
U.S. , Japan and EU ONLY
Requirements for free cases:
1. You need to be at XDA Forum at least 2 years.
