Anyone try it? is that really about to put Nexus 7 to sleep?
I ordered a blue one on the 10th and it is still showing "shipping soon." may want to try another cover or color if you need it sooner rather than later.
I ordered black and blue case too!

Waiting on the official one to be available again. I can't spend money to put my precious tablet in a case that looks like it was made for cell phones in the 90's. I don't know what it is but all leather cases just look cheap and crappy to me.

Agreed. Looks like something for an old Nokia.
Sorry guys, but is it just me or does everyone in this forum have horrible taste? Every case I see is uglier than the next. This is no exception. Why would you want to add so much bulk? The leather and details look cheap.

So you would prefer one that seems to be all plastic?

I would prefer one like the ipad covers. A simple, classy flap across the screen to protect it from the contents of my backpack, briefcase, laptop bag, or pocket. The brushed aluminum sides and plastic-rubber back don't need anything and look premium on their own. Bonus points if it can be rolled up into a stand like the ipad covers.
I'd prefer a good quality plastic case over the PU 'leather' ones. Though there's a thin amount of split hide sandwiched in there somewhere, the textured polyurethane outer coating doesn't look or feel like real leather to me. I think it turns a nice looking device into something that looks chunky and ugly. Also, the PU covers won't wear like leather (which looks better over time). Instead they are likely to delaminate, have the coating flake off, and look crappy.
+1000, those cases that completely cover it in fuax leather. yuk...
I'm waiting for the Asus case because nothing beats OEM. I think my beautiful Nexus 7 deserves something that enchances its looks and not ruins it. I wouldn't mind a leather or faux leather Asus built case either. I think in the time to come we will be seen a lot of accessories everywhere for our device. Don't rush and buy junk.
Both the black leather Apple smart Cover and the Blackberry Playbook Convertible cases are superb IMO.

I actually owned the Playbook and the Convertible case from Blackberry. It was an awesome case and very well made. That's the reason why I prefer OEM. It's always better.

@all please do post te reason why you the specific type of case/cover..
I really hope Samsung comes out with this awesome case they have for the S3. My partner has one, and it covers the ports with a little plug and it's a very snug TPU case.
I'm waiting for the TMOUS version of the Note II to become available. If I could, I'd choose an Otterbox case for it. I've gotten great protection for my HTC HD2 using their Defender case. However, Otterbox has said they have no plans to introduce a case for the Note II "in the near future."
I promised myself that my next phone from my current s2 will be bare (caseless) besides a skin, such as Spigen steinheil glas and back protector.
On a side question, is the camera on the note 2 recessed? Ie. Not sticking out from the back cover?
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Nothing at all. It's big enough as it is, but I do want an aluminium or carbon fiber rear replacement. Anyone know where I can get one?
Well I went with the book case from Samsung.
I thought it looked pretty good without adding hardly anything to the dimensions plus this way I have the screen protected and when I go to sell it for the next super smartphone, I put the original back price on and any scratches or hits on the back are instantly gone.
To be fair I don't normally like cases but this does not get in the way to much and when folded back on itself it makes a very good horizontal stand for watching videos.
Hope whatever you chooses works for you but imho whilst Otter boxes are without a doubt solid protection they just ruin the pleasure in having a slim phone.

does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail
LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.
I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).

The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are
1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)
2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)
3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

http://www.thesweetarmor.com/en/13-sweet-armor-gnote-2
looks awesome but expensive for just a bumper.
It looks nice- though definitely a little pricey. Also looks a little bulky in the back? Maybe it's the images.
Coming from (SGS3 Galaxy S3) - new Note 2 owner
I've tried similar bumper for SGS3 - there is issues of the thing being heavy and adding to the weight of the device.
If the bumper makers had sense - they'd focus on the fit and adding protection - not adding looks/ metal and finish.
Now with extended batteries - the bumpers are a tough fit. Of the several I tried for the SGS3 only one fit.
If anyone knows better please post.
I have the Sweet Armor but no extended battery.

Looks good...but aluminum will dent if dropped so drop the phone your phone might be protected but you need to get a new case
Looks great, too expensive though.
Wow 70$. But i don't need an extra Note 2, I just want the bumper
Ihave a cheap metal bumper with my extended battery. You shouldnt have to worry about denting it but it will reduce signal and gps performance. Im going to mod it and see if I can remedy the issue. The one I bought was only 10 $ but doesnt screw together. I think the screw together versions are better. You should be able to find a cheap Chinese knock off sweet armor on ebay soon enough.
I had a sweet armor bumper and the mugen extended for the GNote 1 and they both fit perfectly, hence i asked =) It is indeed a little pricey so it will depend on personal preference, i guess. I have tried cheaper bumpers for the note 1 and none of them look as good as the sweet armor. Of course i understand some would prefer cheaper bumpers but this one has awesome look and finish. The sweet armor on my Note 1 still look as good today as it was on day 1 when i got it. Admitedly, I haven't dropped my Note 1 (thank god) so i cant say too much about the durability though. Not sure about the cheaper bumpers (i havent used them long enough) but definitely no dents/scratches from everyday wear and tear for this one though.
The only problem i had with the Note1 sweet armor though is that i lost a screw once and i had to replace it (it came with 5 extra screws btw) but that was my own negligence (prob a loose screw), never lost another screw after the first one til today =) the fit was awesome for my Note1, never had a reception problem (or not bad enough for me to notice at least). The extra weight wasnt a problem for me (I use a Note1 with the extended battery remember) but i'd think it wont add too much weight to a standard GNote. Just removed the bumper from my note1, and saw no scratch (from the bumper) on the sides of the phone.
PS: I went ahead and ordered one today and already got my shipping confirmation few hours later. I will try to update here with pics when it arrives. If it doesnt fit my mugen extended then i guess i will use it when im using the standard battery (I usually switch extended/standard battery depending on my need at the time). It will take a while cause i was being cheap and chose the cheaper shipping option.
Okay just got my bumper in the mail today. Fits perfect even with the mugen extended. Quality is awesome. Only complain I have is the side buttons feel a little loose, no biggie. And of course a lil too pricey. Comes with 3 extra buttons and five screws, loving it. It looks awesome =)

UPDATE: Saw the other thread you participated in about aluminum bumpers and I see what bumpers you're referring to. While they look nice, you get what you pay for. I tried one of those and the quality is MUCH lower than the Sweet Armor. It is lighter, thinner, and scratches the GN2 easily. I believe in paying for quality if it can be had and the SA is worth it IMO.
No offense to those who bought the $10 eBay bumpers though.

I had the SA on my SII, it was sweet but pricey. After I sold my SII to get the Note, I gave the $10 bumper a go for a cheaper bumper look. Unfortunately, it messed up my Note. Plastic started chipping off between the screen and bezel.
Cons: Flimsy built, one time it slipped about half a feet high (in account with the weight of phone). The frame wasn't in the best of shape anymore. Unsatisfying premium look, actually made my phone look cheap. Tight slider, which cause plastic area to chip off over time and possible scratches to screen protector or phone if your not careful.
Pros: Cheap, easily replaceable. (provided not parts/accessory of your phone that needs replacement caused by the bumper)
Imho, you get what you paid for and I paid more. But kudos to those who had no problem with their bumpers. On my Note II, It's just sad case if I had to go thru it again, that's why I'm going back to SA
I had one of my Galaxy S1. Well made piece of kit but I ultimately didnt like the feel in the hand and was dubious about the shock protection (on that version there were only a few little thin foam strips inside the bezel.

Nope, it is very slim in comparison to other cases like it. I was surprised at how good it is for the price
I got this case for .01 cents on Amazon thanks to someone on the forums here. I freakin love this case! I originally bought a case from Best Buy for $34.99.. PSSSHHH.. this blows that out of the water.. price? $2.00 included shipping! Scratches? None. The one at Best Buy was full of them right in the packaging even. It was the only case they had at the time since the M8 was brand new.
Adds a little bulk to the phone, but it's not bad.. it's not a crappy iPhone! Those things look like bricks.
Sadly doesn't seem to be available in UK

I was just defining what a bumper style case used to be. Even in later iPhone models where antennagate issues were fixed, Apples Bumper case spawned a whole line of similar style cases for iPhone and other handsets. Companies like Spigen and Draco continued to make bumper cases without rear sections, for design and for edge protection. Latter even made one for the M7 ( http://www.dracodesign.com/draco-one-aluminum-bumper-for-htc-one-m7-black/).
Now it appears a bumper case can mean anything. Bumper to me always suggests "around the edge or extremity". The bumper on a car is at the edges. The bumper in a pinball machine is an edge.
Phones still have antennas dude. They just might not be wrapped around the edges!

He he yup!
I kinda miss not having a "phone of the masses" as the range of cases for iPhone is virtually without limits. Spigen did some really nice true bumper cases made up of two parts one part soft bumper with a harder plastic outer bumper you slipped over the softer one.
Guess it'd be harder to create a bumper for the M8 given its slimmer profile and more rounded off edges. The iPhone was quite squared.

Back when I had my iPhone 4/4s I used to be amazed at how much people spent on their phones protection, it even got to the point where they were buying protection for their cases.
