Hopefully that means Chromatics as well. I've used the black "carbon fiber" skin on my Galaxy S for months now, still like new, looks great, and has a nice texture to it which helps your grip quite a lot.
Oh, and there's this little tidbit:

Pity they're in Arizona which doesn't do Daylight Savings. Otherwise you'd still have about 7 minutes since they do run on PST. I'd give it a try anyway if you haven't already.
And Winter30 as a code will still give you 30% off (just doesn't stack with Cyber50).

So mine arrived yesterday. It's good stuff. Very good stuff.
To be honest here, I'm like four times as happy with the Chromatics on my Tab than I am with the Zenus case that came in the same day.
Besides no more fingerprints on the back, the installation of the stuff on the sides and top mean this thing is MUCH easier to hold one-handed, the bit of extra friction/grip it gives means you don't need a death-grip, light pressure is enough.
Extra bonus, the side pieces make the device look much slimmer, believe it or not.
Also comes with a nicely cut screen protector which I haven't installed yet.

Looks good, is it easy to install?
Will the 30% code work today?
If you remove it, will there be some glue leftovers or some mark after the skin?

Really easy to install. The 3M material they use is pretty nifty stuff.
Here's a video of it:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-z3mb85nxdY
It can be removed with no residue, and re-applied almost indefinitely if you get it crooked or something.
If you get a wrinkle in it, (or an edge lifts, etc) apply a little heat from a hair dryer or desk lamp and it will smooth right out.
After it's applied, you can use a little heat and/or a microfiber cloth to rub the edges, so that they blend smoothly with the Tab...when it's brand new, the material has a little "bite" when you run your finger across an edge.
30% code should still work.

Hot damn that is sexy. I'd bought a chromatics kit from them for the Milestone before but wasn't satisfied because it wasn't really full coverage, so I went with a (also very nice) Wrapsol matte skin with the Tab this time.
Think I'll order this again.. just need think whether I want black or white

Great, will make a order directly

Just wanna make a quick comment that after installing the phantomskin, the tab doesnt fit on the HDMI dock. I can still force it in, but then it made some scratches on the skin. Hope ppl are aware of this.

Same experience here. But the skin is really nice! I'm very impressed. It's my first skin set from Phantom. Easy to install and gives the Tab an very good look. Only Sim cutout is not perfect.
Display cover was not that easy to apply but looks quite good now. After waiting for about 8 hours, til all water disappeared.
Delivery to Germany was quite fast.

Really?
these skins don't look that thick, i just ordered a dock, i wanted to get a skin like this or the zagg one

It's not that bad. Just the screenprotector gets little much pressure on the lower corners.
Backcover is ok.
With the protectors it feels to fit a litter too perfect into the dock.
Maybe supported by the flimsy adhesive surface of the screenprotector. The SGT doesn't slide that easy into the dock.
For me that is no real problem.
Don't be disappointed bevor you get the skins. I think it was a good choice.

Does the skin get scratched or rubbed away after being inserted into the dock?
Thanks

It made some marks on it (the screen side), but it did not remove or shrink it. Mostly it is cosmetic I would say.

Ebay rubberized cases

Anyone bought one? i figured $6 a piece...y not
Sent from my wifes shift because its way better than my hero.

I got mine today. Bought it from a seller off ebay. I can't post links yet else I would show you which one. Sorry.
It makes the phone kinda thick and its definitely not rubberized just cheap flimsy plastic. The front cover on mine does not stay on. looks like it was miss manufactured and is missing a tab. Contacted the seller and he's sending me a new front cover. Hopefully this one is better. The back piece stays on pretty solid. In fact I'm scared to take it off. Feels like I might break the tabs on it if I do. Makes it hard to slide the keyboard out lots of resistance but my phones slide is pretty resistive to began with.

I bought one on ebay as well. Maybe it's just my luck, mine works fine, both the front and back cover stays on. I am not sure what the previous poster means by it's not rubberized, mine pretty much feels like the back of the shift but a bit more smooth/less rubbery, if that makes sense.
It does make the shift thicker, but to me it makes sense because it protects the camera lense & screen when you put the phone flat on a surface. But it does make the power button harder to press when I wasn't used to the case. FYI it's about 2mm thinner than the Seidio case, according to my measurement against the measurement someone posted for the Seidio case.
The only thing I don't like about it is that there is a slight bow on the right side of the front cover. You can't tell by looking but it doesn't stay against the side of the screen and there's a slight give when you press on it.

Wife and I got ours, no problems what so ever, sweetg colors too! Def is rubberized

Links would be great.

Here you go - Blue

How does this feel in your hands. On my shift, when I am messaging for awhile with my hardware keyboard, the hard edge on the back of the screen starts to dig into my hand, and I often will hit the power button. Has anyone who has gotten one of these rubberized cases noticed this before (or after) they got this case? Can anyone take a few picture of these with the keyboard open please?
thanks!

I just got this case because my prior case (the one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=926269) was a bit bulkier than I wanted. However, that just means that now the whole issue of hitting the volume key is back.
Oh well. I'll keep this one for a bit to see if I get used to it or if need to switch back to my other one. FYI for everyone, I got the black version and this has a few bits of plastic pieces that got baked onto the back during the manufacturing process. Not a big enough deal for me to exchange an $8 case over, but just so you're aware there might be some minor quality issues.

Anyone? Aluminum Alloy Blade Metal Frame Bumper Case

Anyone used this bumper?
The back cover is easily replaceable so I don't mind showing off the titanium texture on Note 2. A bumper fits this need. So anyone used this? It shows 20 sold, so hopefully at least someone is browsing xda.
Share your opinions :]
BTW, there's different codes of N7100 and the prices are different, e.g., BK, PK, TP, etc. What does that mean?
EDIT: UH.. nvm, seem to be color codes. BUT, same model, different prices ($20+ vs $10)????
EDIT: UH... nvm again, one is free shipping, one is $10 shipping. :facepalm:
EDIT: AND one is bid while the other is BIN. :double-facepalm:
WARNING: Based on further reading, this design is not acceptable. It scratches screen when installing/uninstalling, and possibly affects reception!!

==========================================================================================================================================
I've also come across these
You can see that my main idea is to cover the sides, because I believe that it is still chrome like on the Note2 (mine hasn't arrived yet), and shows scratch more easily.
===========================================================================================================================================
Or do you guys think Galaxy Note™ II Protective Cover + from Samsung just looks better?

Only thing I'd be worried about is it interfering with the reception
-TeaM VeNuM Like A Boss

Ye, that's also my major concern. So I wanted to see if anyone tried it on xda. It comes from Hong Kong, so I really don't wanna waste time just to find it interferes with the reception :/

From this thread, looks like (hopefully) it won't interfere.

It wouldn't suppress the signal since The Note isn't like the iPhone 4/4S where the antenna is on the sides. Our Antenna is on the bottom portion of our phone so this case does not interfere with signal.

a buddy of mine has one on his s3 and has no problems. I am going to pass this link to him because when he asked if they were available for the note 2 they said no.. but that was a few weeks ago.

Just fyi guys, i updated in my OP that these bumpers will possibly scratch the screen when sliding in/out as well as interfering with signal strengths as i read in the other thread.
Try to avoid it or try to bear the risk.
There are plastic/soft bumper emerging on eBay. Search for them.

I've had a black aluminium bumper on the titanium gray note 2 for a week, it looks badass especially with the notification led in red ahah. But it does add some bulk and removes the softness of the original design when you hold it ot shove it in your pocket, Guess that bugged me just because I used the note protection free for 2 weeks :/
No signal problem whatsoever.
Little video there, mine is the second one to prove another guy the case didn't intefere: http://www.galaxynote.fr/bumper-aluminium-t8200.html#p90815
I've ordered a second one from a different brand (with replacement buttons like in the original poster picture here instead of grip notches on the sides) in titanium gray color too I'll post a full good quality video of the case if I have some time.

Alternative Bumper
I like this one because looks like thinner on front, shows side buttons and it's nice to hold to don't falls.
Where in Chinese sites can I found?

I had the same one as in OP (aluminum frame) from eBay awhile ago, and it didn't fit the phone

Looks like a Triobump Clone.
The aluminum won't scratch the screen.

[REVIEW] Aluminium Bumper (The best Ginmic)

Well i have never been a fan of cases or so, i always normally used my phones naked, because i think im paying the design more than the inner stuff (nobody thinks of it hehehe), but this phone seems to be a bit more delicate than any other so i`ve been searching for cases or bumpers for this beauty and obviously keeping the design and elegance.
i own 3 cases and this, by far, the most that i liked. I´ll give you my opinion and a mini-review, also the link for anyone who is interested on buying it
First, as title says, its an aluminium bumper, but what a quality, its extremely well done and very esthetic.
This is how it comes in, from here you can tell the great quality product

It comes in two parts, and see the cutouts for the speaker grill, usb porting charge, and 3.5mm jack
and now, mounted on the phone, look the details
I picked up this color for a reason, as you can see my phone is the gold one so the bumper red, so i made a waaaaaay cheaper IRON MAN version
PROS:
-well done design made by high quality materials
-inner side has a protective layer to prevent of scratching the phone
-keeps the width phone and the thin edge line
-even i have no tested it yet, i think it will provide a bit of protection to the sides of the phone
CONS:
-to be very aesthetic, does not provide greater protection to the screen or the back, it comes flush
-maybe the headphone jack cut out won't fit all of you, it depends on each one (at least its not a problem to me)
In general, this is and excellent accessory for those how likes to brag the design and at the same time adding a bit of protection, buttons fells very straight, great assembly, nice painting, very sharp lines mimicking design`s phone this "effect" could be achieved even more picking up the same color as your phone, but the red one makes mine the Iron man hehe, but this is not for those how wants to extremely protect your phone
here the link, the price is nice, 10 bucks, free shipping and arrived in about 3 weeks

Is the phone comfortable to hold for long periods of time? Looks quite nice, my favourite colour is red

It is for me, although the sides seems sharp, they are not so, grip is a bit better due to a wider sides, maybe if you hold the phone by placing your pinky finger at the bottom you could feel discomfort only if it's on the headphone jack cutout

Thanks for that, id have to get a protector for the back, obviously for protection and also to make the back a bit less slippy. Thanks.

I can confirm its a great case !

ive had this case but immediately threw it out because i had to bend the left side to get it in and when its all put together its all warped because you have to bend it. and it scratched my phone as well. do not recommend this case at all.

What a pity. Someone recommended this case to me. When I applied this case on my phone. I followed the installation steps listed on their website.So I do not meet your issue.

Note 5 equivalent of Peel cover for iphone?

Hi Guys,
Recently jumped ships from iphone to Note 5. I've always used the Peel skin (http://buypeel.com/) and like the minimal super thin form. Does anyone know the equivalent cover for Note 5?
Thanks

EBay 3mm case Note 5. I can't believe they charge $25 for that and people buy it.

Arrrggghhh ... No shipping to the US ! If someone can provide a US shipping pocket friendly option, please do. Much appreciated. I have been looking for a similar peel-like solution coming from the iphone 6 plus.

Just be mindful this case have a perfect cut for the charger port in the shape of a microUSB, so the charging cable might not get pushed all the way in and make enough contact to connect, I had to use xacto knife and cut the opening a bit wider to accommodate the plug. This has always been the case for this type of case, I had to do the same for when I had Note 3 as well, it's cheap enough to play around with =]

@Crushader Just received this, its awesome. Thank you again. Exactly what I was looking for. Your 'play around' suggestion inspired me to remove the complete lower portion with just kitchen scissors to mimic / feel like the super thin iphone 6 plus case I has earlier. It feels pretty good in hand and I can not believe how cheap it is.

@tunx good to hear!!

Never got my case from eBay in. Seller is sending another one. In the mean time I found and ordered one of these. Luckily I live in Korea. It looks like it already has the bottom trimmed to give full access to the ports.
