I'm looking for an hard cover with NO rubber o any other grippy parts... i've possibly found one, but i'd rather have a bit of choice and/or feedback.
Pretty much this is my point: my pockets are big enough for the tab and a cover, i also need a cover. And i do have one... that is made of one of those rubber materials. Works awesome but it makes putting the tab in the pocket (and exctracting it) a long and slow process, one that actually worked with my iPhone because it was such a small device, but not on the tab for obvious reasons
So. Let me point out a few things that this cover shouldn't have:
- grippy material
- transparent material (looks good for a few days, then gets yellow-ish and you see the dirt lodged between the cover and the gadget)
- flashy colors, the tab is already very much an eye grabber without extra help
- bulky. If it's foldable if falls into the bulky category almost surely, remember it has to fit in my pocket
- pouch. That's exactly the kind of thing i forget once the tab is outside it.
Also, leather. I'm very skeptical about leather..... but i'm considering it.
Oh, and you know.... no matter what, it'd need to be shipped to Italy. Amazon.uk would be preferred (looked there, but no description is clear enough about the kind of cover).
Anyway, this is my find: http://cgi.ebay.it/CUSTODIA-COVER-M...t=Accessori_per_Cellulari&hash=item2c5b379a1a
looks fairly nice and meets all my requests, however it's not shown with the tab in it, so i can't tell if it's bulky or what.
Thanks in advance, worst case scenario i pointed out a cover that might interest somebody
Well, if you get a hard plastic one its going to crack if you drop your device.
I have a black one of these and its been perfect so far, it clear, but its black, so its not going to fade, ive had it for 6mths now. Its not grippy per say, but it dose have some friction, you dont want a slippy device do you? It only adds around 3mm to the tab
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/SOFT-TPU...AU_MobilePhoneAccessories&hash=item1e62d7b957
Uhm. Slippy dosen't really bother me, i hold with two hands every gadget, even an Xperia X10 mini pro, and my grip is pretty good but you do have a point.
Turns out i've never seen/touched anything made with TPU, and i've had experience only with rubber (eww, avoid at all costs) and silicone. This is what i have at the moment...
By any chance do you know if TPU offers more or less grip than silicone? Solner or later i'll have to find out if i like the material, i guess.
Also, i think i've seen the case you linked on amazon.co.uk and that is a good thing.
Bam!

Wow! Very good candidate, but also really expensive... 35$ + 15 + possible customs fees scares me. But great find, even looks good. This one requires some thinking due to the price, but seems worth considering.
I like where this thread is going

No offense to anyone, but the hard shells look cool, but dont offer any protection besides scratch resistance, i recommend the TPU case, as they are cheap, work well, and if you don't like it, well it was only $5

Still it's better than nothing, and that's what's going to have the tab if i can't comfortably fit it in my pocket
However i put some thought into this thing, and i might just end up purchasing the one i found and a cheap TPU one, to see how it is.
And still open to suggestions anyway
You might try looking at the Speck Candyshell case. I can't say I own it but all of the reviews I've seen are pretty favorable. It has a soft rubber lining to protect the Tab which sounds nice. It also comes in black, white, or purple in case you care about color.
Here's the Amazon Link: http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product...2?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1307155322&sr=8-2

Interesting, but size matters. That sort of thing would completely ruin the portability of the thing

Not a popular case i see....=/
From what I can tell, it's still pretty new. Though I'm considering it myself. I'm really curious if it is just plastic or if it has a soft lining material to prevent scratches. Not knowing that is what has kept me from pulling the trigger.
Edit: Watched some videos of the iPhone version of the case. Looks like it is all polycarbonate. That's a no go for me, I'd like something soft around the Tab.
to be perfectly honest with you, i could probobly buy 2 cases better than that on ebay for the price of that one ($50.00 USD?!?!). Seriously, search it up. you wont be disappointed. my friend who works at a cell phone shop near my home has a scorch case, and its falling apart.
heres a couple i found.
with kickstand:
1.http://cgi.ebay.com/N-INCIPIO-SAMSU...Accessories&hash=item2a0ed6c0cc#ht_4257wt_889
2. http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-Bodyglove...ccessories&hash=item231171d008#ht_2128wt_1025
3. http://cgi.ebay.com/QPJA-Hard-Stand...Accessories&hash=item25640ca5e7#ht_1888wt_889
Without Kickstand:

2. http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-Samsung-G...Accessories&hash=item20ba457831#ht_1105wt_889
3.http://cgi.ebay.com/BLACK-Trident-A...ccessories&hash=item27bbe5ed3a#ht_2128wt_1025
The trident case is my personal favorite. its almost bulletproof. i have it on my galaxy vibrant and on my tablet.
all of the cases mentioned above costs either half, or less than half of the scorch case your looking at.
The incipio is too bulky for my liking. I don't need such superior case protection.
This one:

Looks pretty nice expect i wish it was offered in all blk so those ugly lines are less visible...
Might still try the scosche switchback if I find a good price on it.
Capdase Folder Sider Classic Case for Note 2; what do you think?
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPwzt3yjYrg
http://www.capdase.com/en/press_detail.php?id=189
Design is really good (except maybe the magnet which might affect Spen) but the quality doesn't look that great
Not gonna lie, been considering getting a folio case (that lets u use at a stand) more each day since this thing is a phablet (as ppl love to say)
I like this case a lot. The top and bottom of the phone is not exposed like those other folio cases. Can talk on the phone with the cover closed. It rotates with different viewing angles. And it looks like it could handle a drop.
How much?

Wonder if ebay has it.
That looked actually pretty nice... please update this thread when you find out where to buy it.
Brgds... /Tubgirl
The problem with any case which has a cover is that the cover can get to be quite annoying after a while, especially if you want to dock the phone. It is just ALWAYS there. I finally gave up my flipcase for a standard case just because I finally got tired of always having to mess with the cover.
Also, I have never understood the point of the clasp closure. Under what circumstances are you worried about your flip case flying open?
Would have to see this case in person. The material has a cheap look to it in the video.
There appears to be no magnet in this case. Capdase has reputation for making great iPhone cases. I purchased Capdase accessories for the Note 1 and Galaxy S2 in the past. The only thing that bothers me for the Note 2 accessories is that the buttons are exposed.

I'm looking for a protective case for my Note 2 that has a grippy/hard rubber feel that doesn't slide around when I lay it down on it's back. I have an Otterbox commuter but the back is hard plastic and slides around a lot if I lay it down unless I flip it over. My wife has an Iphone and her otterbox has a very grippy rubbery feel that is non slip. I wish their Note 2 cases were like that. I'm looking at the Griffin Survivor case and was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations before I try it out? Thanks!

This case has been discussed by many on this forum and it has good reviews. It is definitely protective and grippy. You can even tell from the back rubbery design. If you want something slim, with a soft matte feel, i'd get the Six Abundant Case: http://www.amazon.com/DBA-Cases-Abu...=1378141992&sr=8-1&keywords=six+abundant+case
Wow, that first one definitely looks grippy!

Do you know if the back is hard plastic or a softer rubber feel on the first one? I need it to stay put on a flat surface as I move around at work. The Commuter slides all over the place, which I cannot have. It will "stick" if I turn it over because of the rubber edges, but I need the phone to be face up/hands free. Thanks again for your suggestions.

From all the reviews and things I have heard about it, it seems to be in the middle. A hard rubber. So it's good for shock absorption. Definitely not a soft rubber because that would wear out very easily. However, from what everyone in the forums have said and from the amazon reviews, it seems like it will stay in place without issue. Also, it's only $10 and from amazon. If you don't like it, you can ship it back the same day for a full refund without any cost to you. Just keep the original box/packaging.
Here's a quote from someone who has it: "The back part of the case (the black exterior) feels more like silicone than plastic which gives it a nice look and grip. I have dropped my phone once on this case and I have to say that this case does a very good job on absorbing impact."

It's a hard plastic exo with a softer plastic inner. I have this case and it will not hold in place on a hard flat surface. Mine will not even "stick" when placed screen down. The kickstand is about a 4/10 (flimsy, too easily collapsed etc)
Also, the buttons, imo, are junk. Last night, after I started using this case again after owning it for ~6 months (used for 2 weeks), I took a razor blade to the buttons. Couldn't stand them being so difficult to press.
However, the drop protection is definitely up to the same level as the commuter, for being such a cheap case.
I'd say it's worth the price, maybe even less.
Also, I have a similar six abundant case that was free. And although it's very nice, and my most used case, it offers very little protection, and definitely not "grippy" on surfaces.
Wish I had some suggestions. The Griffin Sur. looks grippy. If you search the forum here there are a few people that bought one and commented on the quality. I believe they don't officially support it.. So it's actually a knockoff.
Edit2: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174889 has info for the knockoff griffin. Enjoy.

Definitely bro, maybe others will chime in with different opinions about it.
I was actually just revisiting the idea of the body glove refined gel case (been subbed to that thread for forever). I remember it being a very popular case earlier this year. At one point there was an eBay seller with ~50 of them for $8+free shipping. I should have jumped on it then. I'm just afraid that the lower section of the case (shiny area) will end up scratching easily (read: shiny back mercury case).
Still haven't even gotten around to trying the UAG... Even though I designed and 3D printed some custom inserts.
What case are you rockin?

3d printing?? Dude that's awesome! I saw on geeky gadgets or theawesomer website ad about a 3d real time laser scanner. It was really impressive. Expensive ($1400 I think) but very cool. Right now I'm using my Six Abundant Case. I rotate between that and my white UAG case. The UAG case is worth it for me. It's not super bulky and protects my phone extremely well. I have large hands so I have no problem gripping and using my phone in one hand with either case on. I do have way too many cases at this point. I even have the casemate tough. Totally forgot to mention that. That definitely has a good feel in terms of grip and it is super slim for a fully protective case. Another nice one is the DBA ultra case. I'll most likely be upgrading to the note 3 so I stopped buying more cases, lol.

Yeah! Got into robotics development at my University a few years back and somehow got nominated to be the guy that learns the ins/outs of our 3D printer so that I can teach others everything about it (even the computer science professors). In the printing world, $1400 is fairly cheap for a production item.
I did see the 3D scanner. I believe it is going to be made by Makerbot. We made our own using a Kinect (think: xbox 360) to do real-time scans of objects and roll them into 3D files. However, I usually make one-off prints so I have to build them entirely by hand in a 3D environment.
Agh.. You are making it hard not to press the "complete my order" button for the black uag haha. I too have large hands/long fingers; I often get my iPhone-using-friends asking me how I always use one hand with this beast. If I was a female I'm sure I'd have gained muscle from just using it by now lol.
Forgot about casemate. I'll have to check them out. (have their tough case on my Skyrocket & love it)
I'll most likely be upgrading as well (if not at least a smart watch).. So now seems like a bad time for me to by yet another case.. But.. I have an addiction lol.

That's really nice, bro. I know $1400 is not that expensive when it refers to such technology, but I meant in general - that's like a nice fully loaded laptop price, lol. I'm familiar with Kinect/Xbox360 so yeah, that's really interesting. I'm sure the whole 3D development can take time from scratch. Maybe I missed them, but did you ever post pics of your 3D-rendered cases? I'd love to see how they turned out.
Yes, the Case-Mate Tough is solid. I have the same black one as in this teamvenum review: http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686
I know you complained about the buttons you eventually cut out of your Sentinel case. This is where the UAG shines. The button design makes it super easy to press the covered buttons. The one thing I love about my UAG case is that I can just toss my phone around onto my bed or the table like whatever without any worry. The shock absorption technology on UAG cases is pretty solid. I even got one for my father's S3 and he loves it (esp since he is accident prone/clumsy with all technology, lol).
Yes, the smart watch upgrade is definitely happening for me as well. I can't wait till they release the Samsung Gear this September. It's definitely going to be a step up from my pebble watch, which I use and wear all the time.
Also, your addiction...I understand all too well, especially being a huge tech fanatic. If you don't have a solid protective/easy to hold case currently and work in an environment where you really need that, I would go for it.

I never printed any cases for my Note 2, just the inserts for the UAG case with lettering and glow in the dark filament etc. I did make four cases for my gf's S3 but in the end she moved to a pink folio wallet case (which would take too much time to make haha). I've since then had two dead SD cards.. So I've lost a lot of pictures (backups are my priority every 24hrs now..). The cases were more of a "wow factor" type of thing. Everywhere we went people asked more about her case than my huge phone lol.. Lead to a lot of explanations of what a 3D printer is.. But After a few times on/off of the case they'd get weak and start to crack at random layers of which the printer printed it (our printer has a resolution of 0.001mm).
Started sanding the area of the Sentinel case today that I hacked out with the razor to make it smoother. Only had about ten minutes with some 1600grit paper, so I got one side pretty smooth!
I wanted to pledge money to the kreyos smart watch but got worried that I'd be stuck with money in the air for it and no item on my wrist until next summer.. The galaxy gear is definitely going to be watched (pun intended)! As long as it stays within $200-300..
As you can tell, it's hard for me to commit to some purchases lol!
To op: I remember seeing some peel & stick grip strips for phones. They were just thin clear gel-type adhesive strips. Been looking for them but can't find the review. Honestly, I'd also like a grippy case..
Edit: found it! www.egrips.com/ check it out.
Thanks for everyone's input...much appreciated. I own the Bodyglove case but I is still harder plastic than I would like. Its a decent case though. I had the Casemate Toughcase for my Note 1 and liked it, very protective as well, but still had a hard plastic outer shell. Maybe I'll research on getting some type of nonslip rubber strips for my Otterbox to see how that works. There are a few cases mentioned here I'll have to take a look at. Thanks again to you all.

Try the DBA Cases Ultra protection cases very good quality and good feel
http://www.dbacases.com/samsung.html
I have the UAG case. I have used the UAG line of cases for all my phones and they are solid. They have the bevel in the front so if it drops face down you wont shatter your screen and it has extra cushion on the corner bumpers. They are only $30 - $35 online. They fit on my OEM samsung dock with spare batttery charger.
The reason why I trust all my phones in the UAG case is that my wife's nephew through my note down the escalator at the mall. My heart stopped as I saw it tumble and bounce off every step. When I went to get it, the phone and case didnt have a scratch on it. The otterboxes are great but they are way too big. Especially for our note.
I am using a cheap eBay tpu. Smoke clear and it is rubber. It works great and protects just fine. Best of all it was only a buck and a half! Rubber does a pretty decent job of keeping it from sliding around unless it is on something very slick. keeps good in the hand too

I feel it offers the best for daily use and it has pocketablility which is nice. It doesn't get hung up as it has a glossy surface at the bottom of the phone.

This one is great except the other one has sensor to display info in the window.
I'm using this one ---> https://daviscase.com/collections/g...wallet-cover-cards-slots-black-slim-daviscase If you've used Davis before you probably know that the natural brown leather cases are going to look like they've been in the trenches for a year in about a month. If you haven't then, well, the case is going to look like you've been through a war zone in short order. Not a problem if you're going for the distressed look but if you're not I'd steer clear of those. Keep in mind the leather is top notch as is the construction, they are going for that look with those cases. I prefer the black as linked here, quality is visibly high enough it's drawn a few comments and it doesn't go into distressed mode like some of the brown cases.

dont really like the Davis case, its craftsmanship it poor, the leather smells good, but the pattern is uneven. and it is sloppy when closed.
i would recommend Nodus and iPulse
the iPlulse one gets magnetic closure, and it does not affect the s pen, someone said it does, but you just need to push away the magnetic piece away from your screen.

I've had two of the Davis so far, both were easily superior to the iPulse Mrs Crab had on one of her phones. Nothing uneven or sloppy about any of them but the Davis has notably better leather quality, construction quality, stitching, etc. I was wondering if I was off base reading your post and went ahead and skimmed some tube reviews which all lauded them for all the same things I mentioned, construction, material quality, stitching. Right now one of my kids is running around with a 6P I handed down with one of them and it is still holding together just fine after a couple years. Not something you can say about most leather cases which usually go a year or so for me.
I'm wondering if you had a knock off?
I've got the ipulse one in tan and it doesn't effect the S pen at all.
Just wish the ipulse leather wasn't so shiney. Personal preference is dull suede look not Patten look. But I think the ipulse will give better drop protection since the case edges - the leather wallet corners sit further out than the Davis one.
Poster who has a Davis Case, wanna swap ?
