Aluminium bumber vs goosld tpu case - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Can any one help me please?
Which one is better for protection? Esthetics?
Thanks in advance!
Handwritten from my Note 2

Well a full tpu case will more protection. I have/had an aluminum bumper on my OG note. Only used it because I was running an extended battery at the time. I hated it. Went back to stock battery and diztronic tpu.

Tpu cases on ebay

Just found out that there are a few cheap TPU cases on ebay now for the Note 2. They are top quality but should protect my baby for a few weeks before other ones come out
Yeah I saw a few on there the other day. What kind of case do you really want? I've been a big fan of TPU as they have protected my EVO and EVO3d very well.

I have bought these 3 cases so far to go with my WHITE note2:
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/261102219336?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/20082258...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/251150214926?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
But ultimately I will get a dual layer case such as Otterbox .....although I have taken off Otterbox on my Note 1 recently and replaced it with a TPU which makes the phone much thinner
Hopefully Otterbox and other dual layer case makers will make WHITE colour cases to go with my white note 2 :fingers-crossed:
I love tpu cases, it's all I've ever used with my n7000.
I like the Mercury brand of cases, they have a glossy and non rubbery texture.

It does come with screen protector, but because of the S-pen , I wonder how will it react.

Wacom pens are not affected by screen protectors unless they are magnetic

Best nexus s case

This case will protect your phone and all, but its a little expensive and huge
Here's a review video!

I had this case for my ns4g and I agree, it's the best for protection. I always found it easier to put the skin I'm the case, get the buttons out of the shell, and then put the phone in. The other thing that I never appreciated was how the silicon parts were in just the right spots to give the phone great grip.
It wasn't till i got a gnex with the otter box commuter case that I real liked how perfect this case was. The back and sides are really slippery on my otterbox. Thinking about getting an aegis even though the gnex version doesn't have a headset cover, and doesn't have the plastic shell clamp the silicon from all 4 sides.

The ballistic case for the nexus s is really good as well, slammed my nexus in a car trunk and not a scratch in sight.

eBay cases?

Hi. I was wondering if anyone had any experiences with these cases I've been looking at on eBay.

Do they fit well? Provide good protection? Do they scratch the phone? Will they work with a full body skin? Or should I just go with an Otterbox or Trident? Are there any other rugged case makers out there?
I wanted to buy several cases, but these cases aren't worth it I guess I would just buy an Otterbox or Trident case.
First 2 case are too bulky. I have the third case and I like these style of case. They fit good and not to bulky but still provide good accidental drop protection.

the third case is nice, fits well and feels as if it wuld protect the phone...in the end I went with a defender though.

Got the third one, amazing for the price! Fits great and feels ok!
I have the third case also and it fits good and has a nice texture to it. The inner case is like a tpu case and then it has a hard shell that gets put on that covers the corners and back. If you want total protection get the Otterbox but I feel this case has good protection

I have the 3rd case as well, and liked it. Since replaced with the seidio surface.
You won't be disappointed in the 3rd one.

I also have the third one. Mine is all black and I like it. I really want the seido covert case for the extended battery.

What cases are you guys using?

Still undecided!
Theres a thread for this called post pics of phones with cases, it has 88 or so pages of info.
I had a speck candyshell but it scratches way to easily. Now I use a otterbox commuter and love it.

Right now Im using the Tank Jelly in Mint green. I have a Speck Candyshell in pink, but Im kind of mad at Speck for not having plans for more stuff for our phones. I have like 3 more cases in the mail. Dont tell my wife.

Keep coming back to the Aegis, its too good imo
Mime glass and white UAG. Otterbox commuter back in the box. Best SP and case combination ever. And I have gone through dozens with iphone 3 3g 4 5 galaxy S2 Skyrocket and now Note 2.
This combination is light clear and if I want another color just duct tape the insert. Its like being a horse of another color in the emarald city ( haven't tried green yet, hmmmmm )

Hey guys just wanna share what I did with my case, modded it with the iron man armor, case has both hard plastic and tpu
Sent from my GT-N7100 using Tapatalk 2
Genuine Samsung Note 2 case, it fits the phone perfect, it has rubber sides and hard back. Samsung did a great job on the case just like they did on the phone. ZERO issues as it is made FROM Samsung. This is the perfect case for me..I do not have the overhyped UAG case nor the fever that seems to be spreading.
P.S. notice how I say best case for me??? Yea...I have no idea why people say something is the best for a very subjective topic.

Armor-X
I use the Armor-X case. It is hard to get (& not cheap) and comes from HK via German Post but totally worth every penny.

I'll update with a pic when I un-F my ROM's camera.
I've had roughly 50 cases since I resell them for fun. Of these, I've kept the following for myself:
2 UAG cases. 1 in black and 1 in white
2 Sweet Armor bumpers. 1 in Titanium Grey and 1 in Matte Black and Silver
1 Spigen Ultra Flip
1 Seidio Convert holster (only the holster, sold the case)
These are, IMHO, the very best available in each of their classes.
Went with the white Uag, preferred it over the silicone of the aegis

I've been switching between the Ballistic, Aegis, and UAG. It would be just the UAG if it didn't make the phone feel so wide.

Mind me asking what screen protector, if any, that you are using.
Every time I put on a different case, the edges are different enough that they cause problems.

Looking for a certain case

Hello I was just looking for a black case that is not too slippery and that is fairly protective with a lip if it is not a a diary or wallet case.

The Duzign case you can purchase from amazon or eBay. One of the least expensive cases I own, but I use it all the time. The case is identical to the Cruzerlite Spi-Force for half the price and the TPU liner is awesome.

Good luck with your search; I'm sure you'll find something suitable.
Body glove. Very slim but good protection.

When I saw the thread I thought the case was a bit of a gimmick, but once I got myself one from Amazon Warehouse and tried it myself I was surprised how good it is; thin but offers a decent amount of protection, also the grip is much better than say the Diz which I also have
