I bought this on ebay for my epic touch and thought it would be cool to share with xda, check it out ... It's a Otterbox Note 2 Defender Case (look-a-like)
CHECK IT OUT
it has all the features of the defender case except the Clear protective membrane on touch screen or the Ratcheting belt clip holster...
I drop my phone once from getting out the car and it was on lap, the case protected the phone perfect, no scratch or hard impact...
Just sharing ... its not otterbox but its something cheap and it protects
The quality is equal to otterbox, I had Defender cases on my other devices and this is equivalent... the seller has 4-5 different colors, I got mines in 4-5 days
Does it have the foam on the inside of the hard plastic like the Otterbox?

Ordered, will report when I get it.
It's funny, the look-a-likes for most the big name brands: otterbox, ballistic, seidio all have counterparts that look almost identical to them design wise and perform nearly up to par, but at at most 1/4 of the retail price.
does this case have port covers like the otterbox?
That type of black rubber looks like it will attract dust/lint.
Anyway I'll probably get the white one.
Thanks for the link.

Not necessarily. The ones for my Evo lte and GS3 didn't.

Is this case easy to remove from the phone? Had one on order already just waiting for it to be shipped.
Had this case on my gs3 for 2 days then removed it. Its a bad fit. Holes dont line up. Rubber feels like a cheap dog toy. There is no padding on inner layer so it will scratch your phone. Bulkier then a defender. Its harder to take off then a defender. Just a bad case imo

Thanks for the info. Just ordered one. Nice price....
I've been rocking mine for a week now. Bad fit but I overcame that by adding black velvet tape I had for my home theater screen border. This helps it fit better and helps keep it from scratching my phone. The case still creaks when you handle it but not as badly. It's heavy. But I like it more than I hate it. I love portrait and landscape kickstand modes. Lint magnet, yes. But nothing I can't blow off by blowing hard with my mouth, as filthy as that sounds.

The buttons originally lined up perfectly and we're extremely easy to press, which is a good thing. But since I added my velvet spacer, sometimes I have to fight to press the side buttons accurately. In the end, I'm loving this case still. And no, mine came with no plus for the ports. Not sure if it was supposed to but thought it was.

No foam inside
I think the best part is it has all the features of the defender case except the "Clear protective membrane" on touch screen ... I think since were using a stylus ... a screen protector will be better then the loose "Clear protective membrane"

It's not like it's permanently attached to the otterbox...you can pull it out if you wanted to. Done it many times. And the s-pen works fine through screen protectors. It's not your typical stylus. I will continue to wait for the real thing personally.
And it doesn't have all the features...no port covers and no holster.

Case: 1 star
Hello all,
Thought I'd give my input on this case before anyone else buys this thing.
The case as a whole and it's construction/quality is very good, hard durable plastic, good silicon underlay helps protect the back. Overall good quality.
People have mentioned that it's very hard to press the L/R and the volume buttons. I didn't have much of an issue, sure it's harder, but not impossible.
The dust covers on the USB and microphone jack are very good, fits in well, and easy to remove, and put back in.
If this was it, the Otterbox case would be great and get 5 stars.
So why then am I only giving this case 1 star? Simple, two fatal flaws that completely break this case.
1) To the left of the USB port are two clips keeping the top and bottom halves attached, these two clips OVERLAP. Why is this a bad thing? Because they push the screen apart, as well when you move the screen up and down, it will scratch against the gamepad. Over time this could cause some bad scratches or damage to the gamepad.
2) This is my biggest problem. The silicon inlay is too thick. What problem does this present? The clips on the side of the case rely on things fitting perfectly in order to latch onto the phone. Since the silicon is too thick, when the case is fitted, the clips are pushed out too far to properly grab on to edges of the phone. I noticed this when I was using the volume buttons, since I have to push down harder on the volume buttons than normal, because of the silicon, the extra force would push the case apart.
I have called Otterbox, and have twice had replacements sent to me, all had the same problems. I tried taking out the silicon and putting it on, the case fit PERFECTLY. But some of the buttons, power button, volume, L/R buttons are not as easily pressed anymore.
When I called Otterbox the last one, the rep made mention that it is an older phone and wasn't sure if they ever intended to fix the problem. He didn't say it, but you could tell what he was thinking.
These problems have existed since the case was made, theres no reason the problem should still exist. So they never intent to do anything, and anyone already with the case is forgotten about.
This is the second Otterbox case I have had problems with, my other was my Xperia X10 Impact case. I won't be buying any more Otterbox cases.
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone was even considering the Otterbox case for their Play.
When I get some money, I'll be trying out a Trident case.
Thanks for the review, I found it helpful.
I had an otterbox case on my old phone and it was awesome. Soon as I bought this phone last August I bougt an ottetbox case. Piece of crap for the same reasons you described thankfully I was provided and refund and got to keep the case, which sits in its box since August. Again stay the hell away from otterbox for this case is worthless and junk. I have never tried another case. However I do keep a nice otterbox screen shield on for good measure. That works well too bad I can't say the same for the case.
Sent from my R800x using xda premium
you are much better off with a trident aegis. In my view the best case on the market for play. If you don't have the dough get a cheap £3 gel case from ebay. Don't buy an acrylic case as they dont fit well or last long.
I have a £30 otterbox discarded somewher in my office. Waste of money
Good luck trying to get it to stay with an invisibleSHIELD on also

i bought a trident case for my play.
Best decision ever.
Perfect fit and buttons are very easy to press.
The only bad thing is that there are no dust covers for the ports and the shoulder buttons are exposed, but that shouldnt stop you from getting this case.
You will enjoy it.
here in the Philippines, otterbox staff are also expert dickheads.. they're arrogant
This is the best Xperia Play case you can buy. I've got one and it's awesome !
It puts aside any of your trident cases.

I have a Trident case for mine. I read too many bad reviews about otterbox that so i went with Trident. It does a very good job of protecting my phone and makes it have some grip so you don't drop it so easily.
I think the Otterbox was redesigned, because I experience NONE of this "clip overlap" issue that I read about. I received mine today and did not even know people had any issue until reading some reviews. I carefully inspected mine and it is flawless. Nothing rubs or scrapes at all. It is smooth as butter. Nor is it "falling off" like others claim. The volume controls are actually easier to volume up and down now, and while yes, there is a little more push involved with the trigger buttons, it is not so much that I cannot push them. It is great to know they are sealed from dust/grime/crap.
I cannot say anything wrong with this case at all. There are cutouts as well for the speakers, and I noticed some reviews said that there were not. I think the case has been re-done, because none of the reviews/reports reflect my case at all??
EDIT: I think I figured it out. If you put the top portion BACKWARD, the tabs overlap each other. You must ensure to put it on the RIGHT WAY and it will not scrape, etc. Wish they were a little more informative and let you know the correct method on the package. I did not put it on the wrong way, but after looking it over I can see how someone can do this and experience what the original reviewer did. When installed the correct way, *nothing* rubs.

This one is slowly becoming my favorite. It's slim, it has a kickstand, the kickstand is designed in a way it provides a great way to hold the phone (like a flygrip), it fits perfectly in my Seidio holster, it has a bit of a lip by the screen for worry-free face down placement, it has a great texture for grip and it doesn't show fingerprints.
I usually buy my cases with a big discount in order to resell them after I "test" them. In this case though I paid regular price at the Verizon store ($20) and I'm probably keeping it as my daily case.

It's fairly slim though I wouldn't call it a "slim" case. It slides in the pocket easily but I mainly use it with it's holster.
I bought it because I love the color but this is probably one I'll be reselling because it shows fingerprints easily, the two piece vertical design has issues with locking into place (some find it too hard to remove while others, including me, have an issue with how easily it opens up), and the lip is a little too large.
Im using the case mate pop right now. Loving it so far

i've got this bumper as well as the bumper previously posted. i find this one to be more durable and study and it also goes over the back which stops your back cover and camera lens from touching whatever surface you put it on.
both can limit your options with accessories though since the ports for the headphones jack and microusb port are quite small and can block some accessories (it blocks my htc car charger and asus n7 2A charger so i ended up using a saw to cut a bit off the microusb area. still sturdy and durable.
the only thing i didnt like was that these cases arent grippy, so im just using an xtremeguard skin on the battery door since it adds a lot more grip.

if i remember correctly, on the note 2, according to the samsung tear down, the antenna isnt in the top corner, its on the lower part of the backside of the device (next to the speaker). signal on my device has not been affected.
I've been loving mines. Debating to grab other colors. As you see I replaced my back with a leather one just do to the oem cover being too slippery. I haven't noticed any loss in reception.

the cutouts are small and prevent you from using some accessories (some car chargers and headphones wont connect fully). its also only protecting the sides and the screen, it doesnt go over the back part at all so offers no back protection.
thats the reason why i ditched it for this one instead.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=310537377953&ssPageName=ADME:X:AAQ:AU:1123
this one has bigger cutouts, is slightly thicker (read sturdier and more durable) and goes over the back a bit as well to reduce the risk of grains of sand rubbing against your camera glass when you lay it on a table.
Ended up ordering this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/1xMetal-Alu.../271113513041?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
The back is pennies to replace and I've put a small piece of screen protector over the camera, so I'm not too concerned about those two factors.

I have the gold push button aluminum bumper and the rounded silver zomgo bumper. Of the two I prefer the look of the zomgo however the opening for the usb port is way to small. I got a discount from the seller and dremeled the opening and the usb seats perfect now.
Originally I paired them with the matching aluminum battery cover however after trial and error I found the metal battery cover (not the bumper) was causing pretty serious the signal degradation. So I got the carbon fiber battery covers which work great without degrading the Wifi or LTE signal.

Anyone know a case that's little more than a thin plastic shell? Any TPU car would be too thick. I got a Quicksand case, but it's a mm thick (digital calipers read 1.06 mm). That's still too thick. Something less than 0.5 mm and hours up to the glad would be great.
I don't need any protection, I just hate the glossy plastic. I've got a Slickwrap, but it doesn't cover the edges and looks crappy. I would consider a skin or wrap that goes as far up the sides as the gray plastic line bisecting each edge.
I don't want to paint or sand down the plastic because I'm probably going to sell this phone if there's a Nexus phone this year.

It's not soft touch plastic(not tpu). But it adds little bit of grip nonetheless...

I'll give that a try. It's only a buck. Man, shipping from HK to US always takes 20 days or more.

I don't understand. Do you realize I'm looking for thin cases? Almost all TPU cases are going to be too thick because TPU would be too susceptible to tearing if molded so thin.
Now find me the TPU case that is susceptible to tearing due to thinness and I'll probably buy it. Like I said, protection means nothing. I just hate coming into contact with the glossy plastic.
Have this and love it. Barely adds anything to the phone.

I've been very happy with this one. Looks very similar to the Incipio Feather posted above.

Yep I just got this in mail today ($9 on amazon)...awesome case and extremely thin. Likewise I wasn't looking for any real protection, just scratches and a better grip on phone.
I can take some close up pics if anyone wants them...

Was just trying to help, this case is very thin imo. I haven't had any issues with tearing and the glosssy back is the same reason I bought it. Why not get a skin if all you want is to cover the back.

How about the ringke slim case? I have that one and is thin, plus love the back, same as the nexus 5.

whats the slimmest case that also offers some screen protection? Something like the Spigen case, but a bit less bulky?

So we just need one specific for the VZW version.
I have a similar material one for my moto x and it's the best lightest protection ever! Very light weight and protects against scratches and mild bumps.

For Verizon, just use the Incipio Feather case. That is what I have, looks just like all these posted, and is designed for the Verizon model specifically (you can even buy them in any Verizon store).
I've had my incipio feather case on since day 1. Still looks great. My phone has had a few nasty spills and never had any damage... even the case looks new. It has a soft "rubber" like coating on it, but the case itself it hard and snaps on. Never had a problem with it coming off (it is actually quite hard to come off. It also has a TINY TINY lip that when facedown, will keep the screen off the surface.

That's what I have, and it's slippery. It's nothing like the blue/green textured ones that we were discussing, which aren't (today) avail for the VZW version.
edit: will also add that the incipio has sharp edges at the corners. The other one is not sharp like the incipio.
Try Body Glove skin, not a case but textured, comes in metallic, wood, carbon fiber, etc finishes. Its should be useful gor what you want/need and it covers the edges.
Could we post some of the thinnest cases we've found? Like Rinke slim, etc..
I like the cases that are so thin with the tops and bottoms open, but they seem to be rare nowadays
Not sure if it's thin enough for you but I like the way this looks. I think the reason very think and open cases are so rare is that they barely offer any protection with large phones
This is crazy thin and with the price might as well order just for the hell of it...
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Case...Back-Case-For-Samsung-Galaxy/32398559531.html
The Ringke Slim is one of the tiniest cases around and it covers the top and bottom of the case with a good amount of protection. The Ulak clear slim case is also very thin and offers a shock proof protection with it's tpu sides and clear back.
I'm not looking for major drop protection. I like ultra thin cases to mainly protect the finish and camera lens when I lay my phone on random surfaces, as well as hiding some of the awful fingerprints and finger grease.
Thanks guys
The official Samsung case is by far the slimmest case. If you want to even call it a case,
I had one for my S6 Edge and its basically like nothing is on the phone and just protects the corners and back glass.
But its expensive

Agree. I picked up this case (clear) at Tmobile and it looks great.

Does anyone know if the rubber-ish looking stuff on the top and bottom are grippy?
I like how the glass on the note5 is grippy to the hand, but slippery in the pocket/on cloth.
My worry is that the polycarbonate might be the opposite -- and always catch going into a tighter pocket.

I'm not sure about this specific case, but I know what you mean. The glass is grippy to my fingers but a polycarbonate incipio case I bought for it is very slick. I may have to return it.
I'm hoping that Orzly will make one. I have their frost thin case on my S6 and love it. Just enough to protect against scratches and thin enough to keep the "feel" .
So, I received 2 Rinke slim cases, clear and black. I have the Rinke Fusion as well.
Quick impressions.
Clear Rinke Fusion. It's ok, slightly bulky for me tho. Fits perfect, cutouts are where they should be. Case has an annoying piece of tape/plastic on the inside that was a PITA to remove. I'd say it's a 7/10.
Rinke Slim, Black. Perfect fit, hugs the contours of the phone perfectly. Cutouts are great, especially around the Spen. I feel like the fusion case made it slightly more difficult to remove the spen, the Slim doesnt.
Rinke Slim, clear. I really really wanna use this case, it's crystal clear and looks so good on the phone. Problem is, it doesn't fit perfectly like the black version. When you slightly squeeze the sides, you can feel the case move. Really lame.
I'm also using the Ringke SF Black Case and it's very thin based on my thinness standards. pics are below (i'm reposting pictures from my post at Android Central).
