[REVIEW] Nillkin Hard Case

Today I took receipt of 2 Nillkin Hard Cases for the GT-N7100 Galaxy Note (One brown, one Red.)
I bought them from eBay for around £6 each delivered, the quality is surprisingly good, I wasn't keen on having a TPU or Soft Silicone case, or the flip case that I had for my original Note. So I thought I'd give this one a try.
You can see that it comes well packaged, not just in an envelope as is usually the case from Chinese suppliers of such products.

It also includes a screen protector, I've not yet fitted that, as I already have one fitted that's in good condition.
As you can see from the next set of photos, it doesn't really add a great deal of bulk, which is another reason I didn't want a TPU or Silicon case.
Granted I can't see it protecting the phone from a massive fall, but I wanted to keep the svelte lines as much as I could, whilst adding some grip, which it does nicely with the texture that is on the under side.
The fit is really snug, I had reservations at first, but once it's fitted it doesn't move at all, so I have no worries about it slipping off.
All-in-all I think it's a really good product, it adds protection from scratches for most of the phone, whilst not being too bulky, just enough thickness to save the camera lens from getting scratched when you put the phone down.
So if you're looking for a case and have similar requirements to my own, consider giving this one a try.

thank you for your return

Excellent review and photos,its a shame the case doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone .

i just made a thread about this, but yours is nicer so....
I didn't like the fit at ALL until I just removed the back cover from my note 2 completely.
I don't really care about NFC so I'm okay with this. I like having a bit more lip too.
I find a couple of the edges a bit sharp. meaning if I hold the phone in landscape, my index fingers get scraped a little bit by the case edges.
I might sand them down or something.
The texture on the case is quite nice - pretty subtle but noticable when you hold it.

I know what you mean, but at least it looks uniform all the way around, I had a couple of flip cases, one made by a company called Tenda, great case and had a similar hard back to it, that case did cover all the edges... except for one corner, it would have looked a bit daft if it didn't have the flip screen cover.
But because of the material, I think it would be a nightmare taking it off, if it did cover every edge, as because it's really stiff, you need some leverage when you do want to remove it.

It might just be the batch you've got perhaps, I've just been around both cases, both on and off, and there are no sharp edges, in your case, a small nail file or wet'n'dry should do the trick.
I think I know what you mean about the fit, I too was a bit cautious as it "almost" sits flush with the screen, but there is a bit of a lip and I've shaken the hell out it and it's going know where haha.

I received my black one yesterday. Yeah, it stinks that the top and bottom are exposed, otherwise it would be perfect.
If you're looking for the lightest, minimalist case, this is the one.
Honestly, you really can't go wrong with a product that says "SUPER COOL" on the packaging. :laugh:

Thanks. I am expecting the black one. I love the texture look. I am hoping it feels like it looks.
Be careful though. It looks like you already have some scratches.

There's a screen protector on my beast, they arrived 4 days before the phone haha

That's a really nice case you have there. I envy your adventurous nature in going for red, I'd be more conservative and go for grey or black!
Anyhow I was also looking at this similar case and thought it offers a little more protection around the top / bottom. Any opinions?

I'd be more inclined to go for the one you've found, for that added protection, I have ordered a aluminum bumper and a flip case which I'll probably post a review about, unless someone already has.
I might buy the one you've posted about too lol.

Yeah I'm on the case hunt too. Already bought the S-Line with kickstand just yesterday. I also really like the look of the one I linked to above. I'm interested in this flip cover too , which I really like for its corner protection - should be protective enough for most falls and no magnet involved to interfere with the s-pen.
And worst of all, I don't even own a Note 2 yet. Crazy or what?!
Anyhow apologies for hijacking your useful review thread

Which case is that then as there's a few mentioned above? I'll stay away from that one once I know as the phone is slippery enough as is (from trying out in store).

incipio dual pro?

Anyone have any experience with this line of cases? I've used incipio products in the past and have been pleased with the quality. I'm thinking the protection level offered from the dual pro would be somewhere between a tpu case and the otterbox commuter.

I cant stand cases that have soft silicone covering the bottom where the charging port is

I had one on my iphone 5. Real nice case and even better customer service. The hard plactic part had a nice soft touch finish ala seido case compared to the shiny cheap feeling otterbox commuter plastic. Hope they bring it out for the note 2.

Ordered one 2 days ago as well. Hopefully that will be offering enough protection so that I don't have to get another case. It was either this one or the Seidio active for me but I like the look of the dual pro shine a lot more. Fingers crossed.

Silver and white shine looks great on pics. I wonder if the silicone atracts lint, I know they have two types of silicone that they use, one that attracts a loooot of lint, dermashot for iphone 5 and the one that doesnt and is tick silicone that they use on ngp line up. going to check with their customer service which one is it as I am Thinking of ordering one as well. Incipio cases are great quality.

Was looking at these last night, surprised I havent heard more of this company. The dual pro looks like a quality case. Wish they had other colors but prob gonna order one anyway
This I'll just get it from the site though, this one looks a lil pricey

Is it because the silicone is too floppy and really adds no protection there?

The concern I have is that the polycarbonate part is not grippy enough. That seems to be the issue with both the Commuter and Ballistic. I'm still waiting Case Mate's Tough Case for the Note 2. Love the textured back that's very grippy. I do like the look of the Incipio case though!

There's a thread on this case!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2051175

I have the incipio dual pro shine and I also have a seidi case with kickstand not the extreme case but the Smooth I also have a Mercury tpu and a cruzerlite of all these I like the seido for the kickstand but I will say ive seen one particular negative review on Amazon for the pink one and she rants about how difficult it is to get on lol she was doing it right it clearly states in the instructions insert the right corners first it is a lil bit weird the very first time to put on but now I take the cover off and on in no time at all I have the white note 2 and I went with the silver case with black rubber and I like this case the most its not the thinnest case but it does fit in and out of the pocket and its def not as large as the otterbox defender or the other one I forgot the name ...So yes its a great case that offers just as much protection as my cruzerlite which gets great reviews and is about as thick maybe a little thicker than the cruzerlite but not by much if your going to spend so much money on a phone wouldn't you want it protected that's why you get a few for looks one for heavier usage when your active and that's what this is im an active guy and I feel secure knowing if I drop this case my phone will def be protected sure the case will have scratches because of the metal finish but this is the best looking slightly a lil more heavy duty case ...I love it at first after one bad review I was real sceptical but now I'm very happy I purchased it .. Its my daily case unless im hanging home watching movies than I use seido for kick stand I will probably get the seido xtreme or the new cruzerlite with kickstand on Amazon for about $15 it looks great and affordable

Sorry for bad grammer its late but I was talking about the incipio dual pro shine I have it in silver and like it very much I feel the most secure and sleek at the same time ... The only down fall is your first time putting on the case but I promise its easier than putting on a speigen or inbishield screen protector which requires alot more patience the first time ...Okay so the only negative I have is the rubber part picks up pocket lint from being in my pocket but its easy to wipe off just don't wear super linty ass jeans lol

Case with kickstand?

Looking for a case with a kickstand for the Galaxy Note 2. Anyone know of such? So far the only one I've been able to turn up here is for the original Galaxy Note.
Thanks for any suggestions.

Verizon sells a case with kickstand for the Note 2.
Only downside is it does not cover the top or bottom of the phone.

More pictures of this case in my short review HERE
It's a cheap case that will protect your phone, but the quality of inner silicone shell is not that great. It's too stretchy and will pull around the sides, and it gets worth with time especially at the bottom where micro-usb connector is. Also because silicone is soft, buttons will be too easy to press accidentally. But what the heck, for this price - its a workable Seidio Active knock-off with a kickstand that won't make your phone as wobbly in landscape as Active Plus, you can put your finger through the kickstand opening as sort of a flygrip handle.

The best case ever. No extra bulk and feels good to the touch, a hard case but with a soft touch feel, comes with a kickstand too. Bought one for the wife's too. I usually dont use cases but this one is a keeper . Go try it edit- Comes with a belt clip too

originally bought 2 cheap case/holsters one of which is the cheap 3 part listed in the OP. First one broke, second(OP) as noted the soft rubber part doesn't fit well and it's too tight in the holster. Finally broke down today ad bought this one from BB. There is no comparison in quality, Everything on this case is worth the money.
For my past phones I've bought the Verizon kickstand holster case combos and I've loved them, but VZW didn't make one for the note2 and the cheap online ripoffs are crap. Spend the money, your Note 2 will thank you.

Got this one for $6 shipped on amazon, cut the volume side out to work with my OEM flip cover.

More pics in the post a pic of your case thread, and mybat jolt thread. Kickstand hinge and latch is a tad flimsy but I haven't had any issues yet, and I dropped my phone 42' from the 3rd floor roof of a house, landed face down on gnarly concrete and not a scratch. Luckily the flip cover flipped closed or the uneven concrete probably would have been able to make contact with the glass, which would have been a disaster.

Kidding aside, those are supposed to be of a very high quality material and fitment. The guy behind these (Scott) put a lot of time and effort into research to make a perfect case with a slim fitment and drop protection. Based on reputation of their S3 cases this should be a good one as well. Will know more for sure once I have a chance to review it.

Looks like a good case. Best thing about it is the color combinations. Other than that it doesn't look like it's much better than other tpu cases like from cruzerlite.

I just ordered some of these cases and will post photos as soon as I get the cases.

Thanks for your great observation. I think you missed that it's a 2 piece case.
The Ultra has a hard outer shell made of polycarbonate and some other voodoo. This outer shell offers far superior protection than just TPU alone.
If my girlfriend's S3 survived multiple drops on concrete, I'd say it's much more durable than just TPU.

Just my opinion. I see that it's a two piece case. I've dropped my phone with a tpu case on concrete. Never had any damage.
Anyway good luck with these.

That's cause you are in NYC and you guys got smoother concrete. Here in Jersey we got swiss cheese potholes lol!!
But in all seriousness, you guys know I reviewed a ton of accessories on this forum. Also, I heard a healthy buzz about these cases for a few months now. Obviously that got my interest considering Scott has posted in this forum before in great details about process of his material selection, fitment testing, and all other stuff that goes along with it. I also heard a lot of work went into packaging details as well. That got my curiosity for sure. Once I receive it, I will do my usual detailed review and give you my honest opinion about it.

The polycarb he uses is actually flexible. It disperses the shock better. You can actually fold rhe PC part in half without cracking it. It's not standard PC I forget what its technical name is but it's very close in chemical make up to the PC they use in fighter jet cockpits. It's almost like a polycarbonfiber instead of carbonate. The fit is also very nice for the price. Theres no play in the case when it's installed and the tpu acts as a shock absorber between the PC and device. They have the fit and slimness of just a plain tpu but the protection of an otterbox defender minus the built in SP.

My girlfriend loves to drop her phone. The hard shell is the stuff in **** pits like you said and also in bullet proof glass / plastic.
I took the shell from the one my girlfriend dropped and I flexed it. Let's just say it didn't just break like other cases. I gave it a bit of a work out.

Yeah its supposed to be super durable. I've snapped plenty of cheap PC cases just trying to pull em off when they're really tight and a piece snaps right off

I like to break stuff!

For those that have ordered, I'm curious what color your phone is and what DBA combination did you get?
I have not ordered as of yet but am considering getting a white and blue set up for my white Note 2. I prefer a blue tpu with white polycarbonate piece but don't see the blue tpu on the website.

What I hate most about a lot of tpu cases is the flimsy sides, is this one of those? Urban armor gear did it right, they made the top and bottom part so thick that it feels solid.

In my opinion the sides of the tpu are very thick and ridged. It doesn't have the sides that will pull away from the phone. I will have cases on 5-3 and will post photos then.

I ordered black and blue...was the most manly color in my opinion...I heard from Scott that it looks awesome...and also black on black so I might order a black poly when it comes available... Also the tpu is not flimsy at all...I got my fiancé one for her iPhone and the thing is top notch...Scott chooses the best materials for his products there is no need to worry about ordering his stuff

I'm going to order the Black/Red Complete and an extra White PC once they finally come in stock. So excited to finally have this on my phone!!

The case doesn't have the flimsy crap sides that bow out. The ones I've had for our S3's have been solid all the way through.

Still trying to justify the $27...Hopefully there will be some reviews for it soon.

Flex Thin Cases

What are the thinnest Flex cases? Post pictures if you can. The only issue I have with the Flex if you call it a issue is that I don't want to hide the curves. lol I want the thinnest case. Might just have to go with a full body protector.
thanks

get this one bro; super thin, great grip ridges on the side, and it fits like a glove..

You have it? I might get the clear or red one. I guess a mall has cell phone shop that will like shrink wrap a protector on any phone/tab. lol I might take a look at that today.

yeah, I have the red one..its super thin, just like you are looking for..
problem with those shrink wrapped type skins is that if you drop the phone on its edge, on concrete, they wont keep you from chipping the phone...

Post some pictures of the case on your phone if you can. I just wanted something that will make the phone not as slippery with limited bulk possible. I'm not going to say what I want to say for the fear of jinking myself. lol

I will later today, after I exchange this defective phone...but trust me, this is the slimmest, thinnest tpu type case you could imagine for this phone..

I ended up ordering that case and another one yesterday. I guess I didn't need to start another thread.
Sorry mods.

sorry I forgot to post pics; got busy restoring the phone all day yesterday..
Trust me, if you wanted a thin, unobtrusive cast, you bought the right one..what other case did you get?

This one. Only a few bucks so what the heck. A local mall has a invisible shield store and I wanted to have them install one but they said it might be a week til they get it. Might buy one online and have them put it on. I'm kind of picky and thinking they might not stay on with a curved phone as well though. I've had clear plastic cases that don't add much bulk but that's not happening with a curved phone. lol
Fosmon HYBO-SK Series Hybrid PC + TPU Kickstand Case for LG G Flex (Black)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...N=B00HCNFVSO&linkCode=as2&tag=androheadl04-20

I had one of those on my one maxx; its OK, for a cheapo, but not as flexible as the other one you ordered..
for the price, its worth having around.
BTW, I had installed one of those skins on my flex; it was ok for a few days, then it started to come up around the round corners, so I don't know if one is good for a rounded phone like this. I am good at installing these things, but I couldn't get it perfect...

I'm still thinking about getting LG flip case. I know it's pricey but the discount helps and it provides good protection. Don't think you need a screen protctor with that case.

MPERO FLEX S Series Protective Case for LG G Flex
It's ok and doesn't add that much bulk. I don't think it fits like it should on my Flex because I have a Otter Box 360 on. I think I just want a pouch to put my Flex in when I go golfing.

Feather Shine
So I just put the Feather Shine on - it's a nice case, and looks pretty good. There's a strange thing, however: the corners on the front are shaped/recessed in such a way that when the phone is lying face down, the phone's top and bottom edges and corners are in contact with the table. I would prefer if the feather shine was what was touching the table.
I'm very curious about the Vest thing that LG has on their site. I can only find it (so far) from Korean vendors on eBay, with 3-4 week delivery times, so I haven't pulled the trigger. It seems to be minimalist protection, focusing protection exactly on the area I am concerned about: the front corners and top and bottom edges of the phone. Does anyone know someplace in the US that's selling these?
Thanks!

I have the quick window case. It's a nice design with nice patterns and such. The only thing I didn't like was that it really doesn't stand up to scratches much. It makes a nasty scuff Mark on the front of the door where it hits the back of the phone. I bought a vest from overseas last week for $20 on eBay. We'll see how that goes.

Not sure I understand the scuff mark. So the vest case overseas is the same as LG's but you save 40 bucks? Send me the link. Thanks
