Hey guys. Not sure if any of you have used the CONVERT cases from seidio for any of your other phones?! Anyway I have always loved the CONVERT triple layer cases and have always had the Extended Converts...but seidio doesn't make them yet. I'm sure a bunch of you are like me and can kill your 3100 mah battery in 6 hours and are looking for an extended battery and a case that actually fits the extended battery. If your like me please email or call Seidio and request the case so that they start producing it. I did earlier today. Hopefully you all will do the same if you want a 3 layer extended battery case.
Just so you guys can see an example of one here is the one from my Nexus
Basically you take a Seidio Active Case and add the outer rubber and arachnid shell
So phone w/ Seidio 4800 mah Extended Battery & cover includes NFC

The three layers: Active, ConvertRubber, ConvertAracnid
The Active case most of you have seen
Convert complete extended
Front
Side
Back
Anyway...lets hope(or I hope haha?!) Seidio starts producing these soon as the cases right now don't offer enough protection nor do they have extended battery variants
Call or email seidio and request Note 2 CONVERT Extended!
I loved the convert case on my thunderbolt... I hope the 6400mah battery fits in there.
Im still waiting for this case!! Do we have an ETA yet?
I have had this case on my Inspire 4G for almost 2 years now and it is still great. I'm still waiting on prices to drop on the Note II, but hopefully by the time I pull the trigger Seidio will have this case released. Their website has coming soon on it, so at least I know they are working on it.
Case is released on Seidio. http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-4500-extended-life-battery-p/bacy45ssgt2-gy.htm

That link is to the extended battery with door not the convert case.
Here's the link to the non-extended version of the case http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-convert-case-holster-black-p/bd4-hkr4ssgt2.htm
The case is listed as coming soon and the extended battery version of the case has yet to be listed.
Might have to pick one up just for the camera covering. I'm surprised that the OtterBox Defender didn't do it since they have port covers for the headphone and usb.
This would be awesome. Especially in blue.
Does the extended battery cover fit other extended battery brands?
The case is now up on their site sadly it seems to be in black only, though if you order the surface face and just get the conversion kit, you can get it in other colors.. Amazon has it as well, though its listed as temporarily out of stock

The surface itself has gotten some poor reviews on Amazon.
One of the primary reasons is that the magnetic stand interferes with the S-Pen if you don't open it up when you'er using the S-Pen so I had to say no to this case

Yeah, I wasnt really planning to get it, just wanted to get the info out there, as I know plenty of people were excited for it. if only the surface case still came with a version that didnt have the kickstand, the convert case would be awesome. As it stands, Im gonna stick with my Tuff-Luv In-Genius case till Trident makes a Kraken case for the note2, seidio gives us an OBEX, or Otterbox gives us the new Armor...since it seems unlikely Lifeproof will ever make an Android phone case, lol

So what shell/cases are available for the HTC Droid Incredible? I pre-ordered the phone last night from Verizon, but the cases were sold out. I'm looking for a slim-fit shell/case that doesn't add any bulk to the phone, but protects the screen and casing. I will buy two separate accessories if need be. I want to be able to buy this before the phone arrives so any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

Uhm... Not being rude but.. The only cases sold out on verizon are the lame pouches and the rubber skins. The "Slim Fit Shell/Case" you want is... well... still there. Do a search on their site for Incredible and its called the Shell Holster Combo.
Where do you recommend getting a case from then? I would want a snap on cover like this one: http://www.verizonwireless.com/b2c/store/accessory?action=accessoryDetails&archetypeId=12061
i buy most of my cases at wirelessground.com you can get a 15% off or free shipping code on retailmenot.com

Yeah I bought that and I bought the clear case rkaplins posted. Zagg is taking forever to ship my screen protector though. I'm going to receive my incredible today via fedex and I would have liked to have put the screen protector on before I started abusing the phone, but oh well.
received my shell holster combo and screen protectors yesterday from verizon and my incredible will be here tomorrow. I should just drive to memphis and get it early at the fedex distribution center. but that would be kinda crazy.
Shell/holster screen protector
I got the screen protector and shell holster combo. Works great, not much extra bulk (maybe 1-2mm on the back side)
ebay.com, if u want anything.

I picked up the red/black shell from Verizon as a temp solution. Once the extd battery comes out it won't fit so off it goes.
I got this case from HandHeldItems.com It was only $5.99 (normally $15.99) It really fits well and will definitely help if I ever drop this thing.
And as you can see, the camera is well protected when setting the phone on its back. Hope this helps!

actually it should, you can use the red/black gradient case without the actual battery back for the incredible snapped on, you can have it removed entirely, which frees up more than enough room to fit the extended battery (this could be why the back was designed in this manner, besides the fact that because of this design we can have snap on cases, that fit snug and make the phone feel more solid
I think I will be ordering this one:

I just tried this with the red/black gradient case, and I'd be worried about gunk getting in there. It's a bit loose (can feel it bounce around), and you also lose one of the metal rings around the stereo jack, which may cause some issues as well (not too sure what this does, but it's attached to the back part of the cover. Maybe I misunderstood, but that's my .02.
those vertical snap 2gether cases in my experience r crap they nvr stay on very well that one kinda looks like that type to me
I have my eyes on the Seidio combo shown here too(sometimes you just can't put it in your pocket):
http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/bd2-hlcsr3hddn-rd.htm
I ordered that case from seidio as well as some screen protectors. I must say that, though kind of expensive, they are great quality. I like the feel the case gives to the phone and the case is very thin not adding much bulk at all.
Not sure if it been posted before, but ive currently ordered the following
http://www.amazon.co.uk/SD-Tabletwe...F3DO/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1342898437&sr=8-2
Anyone have any experiences with this case?
I'd like to know the same thing. Been looking at these myself.
Ive bought one, so, we shall see.
Ive seen the case before, but not bundled with a screen protector and stand. I actually ordered the TPU case. Comes in S, waves, and X rear design. Will post pics once I receive it.

TPU
I keep searching and notice a lot more vendors have them available, TPU cases that is. Seems they are all selling the same 2 designs.
But this one has the largest color selection. For those looking for the White Backing

I have the clear S case coming today/tomorrow, and the Black X case coming Friday. Also Have a 7in Android slip cover coming. will post thoughts when I receive.
Thanks goes to vancouver_hawk for linking;http://vancouver.en.craigslist.ca/van/mob/3158954395.html
GREAT source for pictures on how these Series S-line look on the Nexus 7. I ordered the X series, which I think covers the buttons.
Found another clear X series installed on a I/O unit;
Borrowed me some ebay pictures of a clear S-line installed on a retail unit;
I have the s-line case on my nexus 7 n its a nice fit. Cutouts are perfectly lined up with buttons, speaker hole, charging port, etc. Very thin not bulky at all but thick enough to protect the n7. I would recommend it.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Looks nice. I will pick one up. Nice too as you do,nt have to worry about setting the device face down, getting the back greasy (reading while eating ) or having to look like an old person with all these "folio" cases.
I bought one of the X designs shows in the various colors on the previous page. I bought it from Amazon in black. Coupled with a SP this maybe all that I need.
I would like a thin flap case but they add way to much bulk right now. Maybe when someone creates a thin model, I'll jump.
It's so funny how every time we get a new phone, the accessories subforum explodes.
Nothing in the DEV Section. LoL.
We're all so antsy to do something with our new phones we don't know what to do with ourselves. LoL
Ok back to business.
i found a couple of these that I personally like and would purchase.
#1 TUP Bumper Case only. Provides maximum protection in the Minimalist category
#2 Slim Slim book-cover case.
The brilliant thing about this case is that it replaces your battery cover. So it is not an additional cover on top of your phone. Look closely, it's a BATTERY DOOR replacement with a wrap-around cover to dress up the front. Excellent design!
#3 Magnetic Book-Cover Case. [/u]
Ok, this one DOES cover the entire back of the phone. It will be the bulkiest of the bunch here. It's gota magnetic clasp to keep the case cover closed on top of the phone. Looks nice.
#4 ALUMINUM BUMPER
Looks solid.
I'm likely going to purchase the TPU bumper myself because it's a good compromise between minimalism and protection.
What we're really worried about (at least I am) is the bezel getting trashed, or the screen cracking because there wasn't a ledge (or lip) on the front side to absorb the fall.
So, I like the TPU bumper.
Anyway. I thought I would share. Congrats on all new TMO T889 Note 2 owners.
Day 3 with the phone beginning Friday.
It'll be one hell of a switch from my S2.
Nite all

Are there any cases, or just battery cover replacements that add a kickstand? I dont want a flip case or any extra thickness. Just a replacement back with a kickstand. I saw a TPU kickstand for the OG Note, but note the Note II. I love the kickstand on my EVO 4G and dont want to go without one. I saw the Flygrip and I think it looks terrible and you cant set your phone flat on a table with that. Something like this would be perfect.

I just received that case and it seems fine for my needs. The phone is big enough that I don't need excessive extra bulk Has a little bit of a textured finish where you would have your hands, so it certainly feels way more secure vs. no case!
with Kickstand
Is this what you guys are looking for?
Fosmon HYBO SK Hybrid Kickstand[Amazon]
---------- Post added at 03:38 PM ---------- Previous post was at 02:42 PM ----------
So sad that not a single Brick and Mortar store has anything for the phone.
T-Mobile has nothing for the T-MO version, and they don't even know when they'll get anything. They didn't even have the white Note 2...
I just need a simple case to make by until anything worthwhile appears...
I ordered the TPU hybrid with kickstand (link above) from Amazon, but estimated delivery is next Friday...
Has anybody found anything for the Note II at any retailer in the US?
By the way, I purchased No. 1 and it broke after 4 weeks. The plastic is cheap.
http://www.otterbox.com/htc-one-m8-cases/htc-one-m8-cases,default,sc.html
They weren't available last night, but they are now. I've already ordered the Defender.
I'm sure it's probably necessary, but I hate the thought of putting something between myself and that aluminum.
I also ordered the defender. 2 day shipping just 71 dollars for the defender w/ my local taxes
Says coming soon. How did you order one?
I was able to order the commuter when I ordered the phone from Sprint yesterday.
The Defender case is fully ready. There are some color options not quite ready yet, however, mostly it is released. It has about 6 different colors right now. Also comes with a free belt clip add on!
You can buy it right now on Amazon with 2 day prime as well.
Mine is coming tomorrow
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ASIN=B00IL7BGA2&linkCode=as2&tag=alwwanthi-20
The symmetry series looks interesting. I haven't used an otterbox for a while as I feel like Casemate has kinda out otterboxed them with their toughcase which is about as thick as the commuter but has protection more along the lines of the defender. That symmetry looks like it might be pretty good though, I can see myself taking one for a spin...
Does anyone else have the otterbox commuter yet? Mine doesn't seem to fit right down near the headphone and USB ports. Should I try to exchange the case, or are they all like this?

I'm also disappointed that they switched from silicone for the inner layer to what feels like TPU. It's harder to get on and off, and you need to take it off to access the memory card.
That's normal for the commuter. I never got one to fit quite right

I've tried taking it off and putting it back on several times, no luck. Sprint's sending me a new one.
Was at best buy earlier today and decided to pick up the black commuter case. Didnt plan on getting the commuter, but i needed a case as i already noticed a scratch on the back.
Tried to make the case fit better a few times, but i cant get the gap around the headphone and usb port closed.

Same exact problem I have with mine.
If someone has their Defender case already, can someone please quote me and post a picture of the front? I'm very curious about what the cutouts for the speakers look like.
Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?
Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
