will the samsung flip case from the note 1 fit note 2?

anyone know if this is goign to fit? amazon currnetly have the samsung flip covers for under £5, (orange and brown) so could be good?

No, it won't fit. The official flip cases replace your back cover, and the Note 2 is a different size to the Note 1.

Different size dude!!

Will your underwear from ten years old fit now?

guys, guys, guys, my question was answered in the first response, all the humorous replies were wasted, as i do not have a humorous bone in my body.
and i didnt own a note 1 - so the reference to my underwear fitting from 10 years ago...?? surely would have been better asking if your own underwear from 10 years ago would fit me now?

Lol..haha..u made my day..haha

I seen them in black and white tonight listed on eBay. They look very similar to the original Samsung flip covers. I'm not sure about the quality though. They look good in the supplied pics, but you just never know.

Black carbon fiber battery door replacement

I bought it from ebay.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Brus...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item53ef678d0f
I must have been lucky cause it arrived in 6 days - overseas shipping Hong Kong to New Zealand
Overall the fit of the case is really good, fits as good as my oem one. Everything clicks into place.
The carbon fibre immitation weave looks good, its made up of plastic. It kinda reminds me of a wicker basket pattern.
The texture feels alot grippier than stock case and has a matte finish to it.

What about NFC? And does it come in other colors?

I saw this listed on EBay and now that I see what it looks like installed, I may get one myself. I'll bet it would look sweet with a black aluminum bumper case too! My only concern is if it's thicker than the original cover. The bumper cases are a pretty tight fit.

I don't have any calipers to measure it but it feels real slim. At a guess it may be like 1mm thicker but minimal.
I haven't tried removing my stock nfc as I don't use it so can't answer your question

Now for a bumper that will fit the sides well.
Any idea or have anyone tried a bumper with this yet?

Here is someone selling a aftermarket back door and the aluminum bumper together. This leads me to think it will fit without a problem...

This case must be hard to find. I had a 3 week old one i sold on ebay last week and it went for $41....the case was only $38 in stores. Its a really nice case. Feels really good in the hand. Some people complain about the kickstand but i like it. Heres a thread i started with some pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2014892

Only one way to find out

Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks

my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons

Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...

Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

I recommend this case great and adds no bulk to note 2 i give it a 10 out of 10

I purchased this case on ebay great price free shipping phone looks good protects note 2 just fine it doesnt make bulky heres link to purchase and pics http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item.view&id=281028003729

This case is only good for protection from scratches. While using this case I dropped my Note 2 from 2 feet onto pavement and the screen cracked. The case is great if you want something very slim but I wouldn't trust it for drop protection. The casemate tough case is also very slim but provides 10 times more protection.

I only use this case for after work during work i use a otterbox commuter
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda app-developers app

Yep, read another post with someone dropping their phone using this case and it shattered the screen. It's slim and protects from scratches, but next to nothing drop protection.
+1 for Case-Mate Tough as one of the slimmest cases with a drop protection on par with other cases twice of it's thickness.

awesome!

I just like this case cause phone still looks sexy with it and im pretty carefull with my phones but i do construction work so otterbox comnuter goes on at work

I have the aluminum button from spigen over the home button for that very reason.
Back to this case to be honest I didn't even think it looked all that great. The back is an absolute grease and finger print magnet.
After getting my phone replaced I tried out the seidio surface case (which I liked, good kickstand) before finally settling on the casemate tough case. It seems to be the perfect marriage of slimness and protection. Although I'm probably going to order the seidio convert case add on for the surface case I already own for those trips where I might want additional protection.

It comes in 3 colors for 10 bucks. Actually the black and silver look very nice, much better than stock and I actually prefer the tactile feel. It has a very nice metallic spiral design. I was concerned about the button moving around but after 3 weeks so far the adhesive is very good. I'd recommend it especially if you have a Verizon note 2.

looks good

I had a slim case on my N2 once, a Nilkin one but pretty much the same design as this one.
Then I dropped my phone whilst getting out the car, and now I have a dirty great big crack across the bottom of my screen. No insurance...
Now I have my phone in an Otterbox, with a film screen protector to hopefully stop the crack getting worse. I has a very big sad.
Do yourself a favour, avoid slim cases as they're worse than useless. They give a false sense of security that WILL be shattered, along with your screen, when you drop it. If you're going for a case, get something that PROTECTS!

That's exactly what I just wrote in another thread for Case-Mate Tough. If you want a super slim case, great grip, and durable corner protection to give you a piece of mind - there is no better choice but Tough case.

Quicksand Ultra thin case

I have used this kind of case on my M7 and loved it.
It has a matte finish which gives not only a non slip feeling but is also super thin and fits superbly with the device.
Just started to become available for the M8 now on eBay.

Hey guys, what is the texture like? This might sound strange but does it have a 'furry' feel to it ?

I like the bear motion cases on amazon.
6.99 and 2 day shipping with prime.
I'm assuming they have a similar texture to these and they don't have all the cutouts for the Sim and SD card.

Yes, very similar, practically identical in texture, thinness. Unfortunately not available on eBay yet. I'm in Australia and it would cost too much for shipping through Amazon.
I use this type of case and use a leather slip case to put it in for additional protection.

Cimo Slim Grip case is better IMO
I bought this case at the same time I bought the One. It's an excellent purchase for the price, considering the well designed openings for the Duo Camera and flash module.

Bought this after you posted it--got mine today. It's rather nice. I don't think it is AS sandpapery as my old Rock Quicksand GS3 case but it still adds a good chunk of grip and i can set the phone down on a table without flinching at the thought of the back getting scraped up
