why are all case manufacturer so stupid - Galaxy Note II Accessories

well i am just amazed how unprofessional case makers especially those who manufacture cases of leather with belt clips are
1- some look great like norveve, but for you to use u have to buy the flip down or flip up, but then the closure which closes the case cuases continuous rubbing against the bezel and the paint starts to fade
2- leather cases that have side flips are the worst to use as its not use to take pictures at all with such type of cases
3- why those who manufacture great cases don't consider that most of us need it to be put on our belts for convenience.
I am fed up with all the cases, can someone send me a link for a flip up case that can be put on the belt for gods sake

Flip cases in general suck ass. The flap is always in the way, you have to pull the phone out to use any kind of car dock safely, and they almost always look like a wallet reject from the 60's.

Im happy with my ballistic sg maxx case... $15 on amazon.

I blame samsung for using this faux chrome garbage on the side of their phones. I've got chrome paint rubbing off just from taking off my tpu case to replace the battery.

Ballistic doesnt make an SG MAXX case to my knowledge but they do make an SG which is what my phone is currently wearing and the Seidio active holster fits the case with a little push.... lol
I could be wrong about the MAXX but send me a link.

Amen brother! It's dang near impossible to find a good belt case. I don't care if I look like a dork, you can't beat it for accessibility and comfort.

I am more pissed that these companies don't have any cases out for the Note 2 except for Samsung themselves

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.

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.

Thanks! I swiped the last one. He/she must've grabbed them from a U.S. Cellular store nearby. Not sure how much they cost there, but that was a good price considering what Ballistic is asking for online.
If anyone is curious. It has been relisted. You can get to it following the link in the first post and reading the yellow bar. I just ordered one. Hopefully its legitimate. Seems legit. Lol
I think there is still one available if im reading the listing correctly. I need a case with a holster so to find a holster is my mission. ......

I had this case for the original note... Not my favorite. Not exactly ballistic, but pretty much the same...
will this case protect the screen, It seems like it raises a little off the front so I assume if dropped that should protect the screen. I'm debating between something like this and a flip case.

Well I got my Ballistic case in the mail today and as much as I like the appearance of my Seidio Active case, this is going to replace it. The Seidio looks very appealing but I doubt it offers as good of protection as this Ballistic. The rubber is thicker plus it has the reinforced corners which is this phones Achilles hill. For anyone that has a Seidio Active, the rubber has a smell to it and the Ballistic does not(dont judge me, its my phone and I will smell it if I want to). The shell is nothing fancy plus I will lose the kickstand function of the Active case but I dont use it much. The buttons on the Ballistic case stick out a little further than the Active. The best part is that even though it is thicker, I can still use the Seidio holster. The funny thing is I did the same thing with my Evo 3D except it was an Otterbox case with a Seidio holster.

We need all the people joining in for BEST Kickstand Case

I've done my research to find out which one would be the best investment for my hard earned money... sure there are cheap china made ones, but I am talking about functionality and the product that won't break in normal usage.
I need your honest opinion on which kickstand case would be the best fit for our $700 investment.
I am leaning towards Amzer kickstand or the Seido Active (Blue or White)
any other suggestions are welcomed
I need a case that would give a great stand, because I do watch shows and youtube and having a kickstand is a miracle.
Please help me to go on the right direction! and I will make sure to hit the 'Thanks' button
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...=130807893481&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160
ive got one of these, fairly unique design and works fairly well.
not too sure how durable it will be since the bendy stand part is done with aluminium (similar to coke cans).
the other case i have is the ebay hybrid heavy duty case
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...=200846700544&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160
this one is a lot more durable than the previous one, and it feels good in the hand. but the cost is that its chunkier than the other case.

The Seidio has a magnet to hold the stand in place that interference with the s pen or at least this is what some owners complain about.
Most of the people complaining bout the interference wth spen r using the surface case..the active case didnt affect it..i think its bcoz the activevis a dual layer case while the surface is one layer only..

Boxwave S thingy. Paid $5 shipping and I love it. Not a ton of protection offered like the Active, but the kickstand is surprisingly durable.
Sent from the White Monolith: Part Deux
I went ahead and purchased this case, as is like one I have for my gs3. I don't use the front cover, but you never know if you need it. It has a rubberized feel to it and works pretty good. I don't want to add any more bulk to the GN2 as is big enough, and this one can be considered a slim case. The shipping was extremely fast, especially considering I purchased it right before Christmas.

Take a look at the cruzerlite spi-force case. I'm using it now and love it. It's 2 pieces and the inside piece is TPU so it doesn't attract dust and lint like otterbox cases. It doesn't have a slippery back either like otterbox. Yes, I don't like the design of otterbox cases.
My only gripe is that when you press the buttons on the side of the phone, they're not 'clicky'.
Seidio dual layer with kick stand
Seidio dual layer with kick stand is what I am using and have no problems.

I've pretty much gone through a bunch of cases and made my way back to the simple black kickstand case that Verizon sold. It actually has more frame coverage than the thinner kickstand case I found which for some reason left the top and bottom corners partially exposed to damage during a drop. It's not too thick but thick enough to feel like it's somewhat protective against a drop.
The best thing about that case is the kickstand, when folded out, works just like the flygrip in how you can put your fingers through it and have it assist in holding the Note in one hand more securely. I stick my ring finger through the open kickstand and can use it like a flygrip.

The flygrip works as a kickstand and also makes using this phone one handed a friggin dream! I use a Ringke Slim case for it and its so slim, it feels like there's nothing there. The flygrip comes with a free case, but I found it to be pretty bulky, even though it's just a thin rubber case, the Ringke Slim makes a night and day difference.

Casemate Tough Case - Pics/Review

The Tough cases has always been the best I've owned. They have changed the design up for our Note 2 (just like trident, I feel these companies are debuting the latest and greatest with our phone). So I've reviewed it below.
Made a separate review thread here, easier to post a bunch of pics.
http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686
Thank you for the info.
My 2 cents: can't see how this is "tough". I used to work in Retail and we carried these Case mate's for other phones, and i can't see how it is better protection than an Otterbox (though sadly they make ugly cases for all the phones I own), or even Ballistic. They seem kinda of .. regular.
40 bucks seems kinda high for a case like that...I know eventually they will come to amazon for a lot cheaper..
For my S2 I had every case there was and it was always the best for being rugged, slim, and awesome grip. The name may make it sound like a contender with the otterbox defender, but its certainly more in the commuter class if thats what your looking for. The design looks different than previous versions, just hope it works out in a good way.

I will say one thing about case-mate, they seem to have good build quality from past products I've tried. They have less pronounced mold lines etc.
Otterbox's are riddled with ugly mold lines everywhere or at least their recent products.
Oops didnt see this thread when i created mine hehe ...
Pre-order is available @ shop andrioid Canada. Another promising looking case. Reminds me of a mix of the Body Glove and Diztronic Case.

Re: Now Available - Casemate Tough Case
I've dropped my S2 multiple times from high, even on the road once getting out from the car. Never had a scratch on my device. IMHO, the greatest feature of the tough case is the grippiness of the textured back. None if the hybrid case out there have this grippy texture. Even the ballistic or otterbox have a somewhat smooth back.
Been waiting for this case for a long time!

Got tired of waiting for a UAG case order so I've decided to order a tough case today.
Took the blue one and It looks great.
You can buy it for 20$ instead of 40$, all you need to do is to put in your order the coupon code "friends50" and It takes off 50% of your case order. Enjoy!!
I can't wait for it to arrive to my country.
Can someone tell me the size of the hole in the case around the headphone port? I have a set of Shure In-ear monitors I use and they have a fat body around the plug, about 3/8".
I have modified the Samsung case to make it work, but looks ugly. Kinda matches the side I cut to get the flip cover to work with it.
Looking for a new case and this one just came on my radar.

And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)
Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .
First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

Yeah, I thought about getting some of that tape stuff but somehow putting tape on a $500 phone just feels wrong.. but I may have to resort to it...lol

PM me if you really want the Case-Mate, I'll prolly keep it until I find something better though, it's slippery but at least it's protected when it falls.. And yeah, I had a Fly Grip, but I made the mistake of selling it with the phone I had at the time, plus I pocket this slab of a phone and I'm not sure I could handle the extra bump on the back...
No rush I'm just a case hoarder lol. If you find something else hit me up.

Perhaps take a look at the Ballistic SG http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2198655

One of the few that's actually described as being grippy, that may be the ticket... haha.. thanks

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

I went ahead and got a cheapo rubber/silicone case from Ebay.. I figure I can't go wrong trying it when it cost <$6 shipped...
I have this case in black (also a couple of other colors). It has grippy ribbing on the sides and the Android logo on the back is matte ... overall a reasonable balance between grip and something that will go in and out of your pocket.

Does that case have any kind of lip on the front so you can lay the phone on it's screen and it won't touch the surface? I couldn't tell from the pics on that site?

Have you looked at the Case-mate Pop case? This is probably my favorite case I own. It has rubber grips on both sides of the case, and on the lip in the front. I think this may be what you are looking for.

All yhe reviews on that thing say the kickstand is a POS... is it really that bad?.. I probably wouldn't use it but it would kinda suck if I broke it the 1st time I used it... what's your thoughts on it?

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

I honestly prolly wouldn't use the kickstand that much either... but it's good to know that it's probably not as bad as some of the reviews..
