Note II - Rubber/Plastic Case review - Galaxy Note II Accessories

I was surprised with the quality when it arrived. It's a two part non-brand case that is made of rubber and plastic that basically click together. It feels great in your hands specially when you slide your fingers in the back with the soft rubber balls. The buttons are covered and it gives a nice soft click when you touch it. The screen is protected from touching the surface and the S Pen slot is wide and you can easily remove the pen with no extra effort. I love how it squeezes in tightly and it gives off a slim profile. The rubber corners of the phone stick out a tiny bit offering great support if it's dropped.
Pros: - Good quality
- Hugs the device perfectly
- Slim profile
- I feel like it could survive a few falls
Cons: No belt clip or stand

I Highly recommend for the price if you want something slim that will protect your phone from a fall.
I bought it at amazon for $9 they do have other colors available.

Looks good, but the back of the case I don't like.
It looks like you can charge with the case on.
I have to take my case off to charge my note 2.

I have the same case and you can charge phone with the case on and its a great case.

To be fair the pics were taken under really bright light, it looks more darker and sometimes you can't even notice the circles

Only with this phone could we be doing this in this fasion, it's awesome.

It may be a good case but that case is ugly in my opinion. I like a more simplistic classy look. I went ahead and ordered it though because its only case ive seen that actually protects your phone if u drop it. This should hold me over til the black Otterbox Commuter case is available. Hopefully this case looks better in real life.

Ebay TPU Smoked Case

I have bought the Dark Smoke TPU case for the Droid Incredible. I am very Pleased with this case. I had came from a Silicone Case with very bad experiences.
PROS
Lightweight
Doesn't stick to pocket
Nice design
Cons
Attracts scratches easy
I just got my TPU case in the mail yesterday, black with smoked back. Here's my take on it:
I already had one of those black silicone hard rubber-ish feeling cases on my phone and I liked it, but it had kind of a honeycome back and I couldn't see the back of the phone like the words HTC and my little droid eating an apple sticker, so I bought a TPU smoked case.
I like how I can see through the smoke
I like how the rubber-ish silicone part of the TPU case is just like my old case
I don't like how the buttons on the case take more pressing than my old case did to activate the phone's button underneath. My old case had little indents underneath the case buttons so it made pressing the buttons easier.
The hybrid smoked backing does scratch easy. So far I have one day of use on it, and already I'm getting typical scuffs and scratches all over it
I'm thinking my old case offers a little more protection than this new TPU case
I like the price of the TPU case, set my back 6 bucks shipped
I like how it fits like a glove
I like the hard backing idea they have and being able to see through the smoke
Overall, I'd buy another TPU case if need be, but if they start offering my old case with a non-honeycome more see-through backing, although not a completely hard backing like the TPU case, I'd buy one of those first.
pictures??
sure just gotta charge my camera and I'll post a couple. I gotta say, taking a picture of the incredible...without using the incredible...presented me with a slight problem for a moment haha.
Any pics yet?

That case looks nice. It doesn't have the bubble texture the vzm case has.

I've had it for a long time. Only thing I don't like is that its harder to put on/off than silicone. Doesn't add much bulk and liking the fact that you see through the back

Ordering one of these to modify for use with the 2150 mAh extended battery. I'll post pics of my mod when I'm done. Thanks for the review, this thing is dirt cheap and still hard plastic. Stoked.

I'm thinking of a new option since the silicone sticks in the pocket and attracts the lint too xD if I can find a case like this cheap then I'm sold
I have one of these and it didnt get along with my Zagg screen protector edges. So I left the case off. The screen is worth more than the case.

I ordered the same case, but was white, and I hated it, to install, or remove it, the phone has to "give" just a little, also the front sides of the phone's touch screen are hard to get to and you have to push the case out of the way. Also found power/lock buttons, and volume buttons were hard to press. I ordered another that looks just like it, but has no hard plastic, and i love it!
Also, I bought the case for 7.95 free shipping off ebay, they have the black case, and the clear case for under 7

It's plastic. Cheap, but if thin is your thing... I like the thinness but would of prefer a more of a grippy feel.

is it like a floppy plastic or a hard plastic?
Is it hard to get on and off? I had a plastic case once for my Nexus One. It was such a pain to get on and off. I swore no more plastic. So now I only use TPU cases.
been using this on my gnex and ordered a black and grey a week ago for my gn2, cant beat the price, under $2 shipped

Yeah..don't forget is super slippery.
It's annoying when manufacturers don't leave enough space around the charging port. It can be very frustrating to have to remove the cover everytime you want to plug in.

Surely not more slippery than having no cover at all?
I ordered this case more than 2 weeks ago (to the UK). Was dispatched on the 30th Oct. Hasn't arrived yet (I suppose it is coming from a long way though).
I'm not expecting much, just hoping that it's slightly better than no case at all (which is what I normally have).

Nillkin white case review

Case: nillikin
Color: white
Phone: White Verizon Galaxy note II
NFC: Operational
Screen protector: Included
Cost: $8-9 usd
Purchase location: EBAY
Protection details: Case covers the back and sides but leaves the silver edges on the top and bottom visible and unprotectected.
The case has a small lip around the sides so if you place your phone face down the screen stays protected.
WARNING:
This case is not intended to protect your phone from drops because it is extremely thin and offers no 2nd layer of impact protection.
Material Quality and Feel:
Case is made up of a white hard plastic like your standard tpu cases and feels smooth all around. (The texture on the back does not create a grippy feeling)
The quality of materials are definitely under average and you can tell by slight defecrs of how the case was cut out of its constructed templates. When I feel around the outside and inside of the case you see and feel small jagged pieces of plastic that stayed behind when the case was cut from its molding or template. The inside pieces have also slightly scuffed the side silver trim as well.
Case color is very prone to getting discolored when being taken in and out of denim jean pockets. I loved the color right out of the box but im definitely hesistant to recommend this white color because of the discoloration issue. (Cannot wipe away discoloration)
My positives: Looks clean out of box and its thinness adds no bulk to the phone.
Included screen protector is a fingerprint magnet but is actually decent enough quality for me to keep on for awhile.
Negatives: color gets stained/dirty easily and un removable. Imperfections on outside and inside of plastic damage phone and your hand (not cuts but just irritates me feeling the pieces)
See pictures for examples of my case

I have the black one and I absolutely love it. It feels good in the hand. I don't have any rough plastic areas, so maybe the op got a bad one. I must admit the case fits very firmly on the phone which makes it difficult to remove.

Your probably right, I may have gotten a bad one. Would probably have liked the black one because the white one looks ugly after it discolors.

Whats a good otterbox alternative?

I'm going to be doing some field work soon, and want to be able to take my phone with me instead of taking a cheap feature phone like I used to.
Problem is, its going to be dirty, cold dusty and jagged and I need a good rugged case with screen protection, preferably one that won't me back 40-60$ like the otterbox does.
must have features are port covers, a dust resilient screen protector, and a toughened shell/case.
thanks in advance for any help
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Even if you were to go with something other than an OtterBox, for that level of protection I believe you'd still be looking at the ~$50 price range.
Im a field service engineer and let me tell you that my otter commuter saved my phone a few times - from multiple angle drops to dirty fingers. had it on for a week now and it works as advertised. was looking for a cheaper alternative as well but after reading the reviews and watching drop tests videos its the best protection you can get for ~50 bucks.
Drop test for the note 2 commuter? Only seen defender vids. Link? Thanks

I am also a field service engineer and work with literally tons of abrasive dust. I have a cheap fosmon kickstand cover that I bought on amazon. it was really only a few bucks. I also have on a cheap wet apply screen protector I bought on amazon I think it is the just like glass protector. The case makes the softbuttons hard to use, so you may want to flash a rom with the nexus buttons enabled.

i am using speck candyshell on a daily basis now that i am used to the bulk it adds. Apart from the fact that the back scratches up pretty much easily, I don't have any negative comments about it.
A pretty decent protective shell excluding the front screen protector of the otterbox.

Incipio DualPro Shine, has silicone inner layer and hard poly around the corners and back etc. Also raised over the screen, just add your own wet application screen protector.
Casemate told me the Tough case is coming out on Wednesday. Always liked it more than the commuter

I have the commuter case. I believe it is a great case and I highly reccomend it. It cost me around 32 euros and I dont regret it. Most of the times when we look for cheap alternatives we end up spending more money on various cases just to return to our first and more expensive option. And if you want my opinion you dont just but 2 parts of silicon and plastic. You buy the reassurance that whatever happens to your case Otterbox will replace it. And of course you also buy their experience. Just check all these crazy drop tests on youtube.

Pictures of the case on the phone would be nice. Use a mirror? I might call around my T-Mobile stores to see if they have this case. One store some cases but didn't really like them. I didn't even try the body glove case because I wanted some color and it looked bulky. Might try it though.

Not sure what happened but I got another orange cruzerlite case today and I'm pretty sure I didn't pay for two. lol
I have the same question as DefTaker,
Does it lift screen protectors?
