What is the big deal with these? 50 bucks for a case.

In my experience with various phones and cases as well, no case protects like the otterbox. It adds a considerable amount of bulk, but it's well worth it. One of my friends will confidently throw his blackberry across the room (not saying it's a good idea for us, but just demonstrating) into a concrete wall without hesitation. It also gives the phone a better feel in my opinion. The silicone they use grips, yet is still pocket friendly in that it won't grip like cheap flimsy cases.
I, personally, plan on getting the Defender series.
As stated above the quality of their cases is fantastic. A lot of sales have to be built on confidence of past buyers because the price isn't always cheap but the product is worth it.
I've used their cases in the past and I'm glad to see they'll be supplying the Incredible as well.
I'll most likely be going with the Commuter because as much as I like protection I don't want to add to much bulk.

I have been waiting for this case since phone dropped. I ended up going with seidio rugged case and if you look on Amazon you can find it for $30
Had an Otterbox for my Eris, liked it...got the Incredible last week and got my Seidio rugged case (w/innocase II combo) this week and absolutely love it. Regular and rugged case, all part of the same!

seidio and otterbox are all i'll put on my phone. they make the best cases available. you get what you pay for.
Now we just need to wait another 3 months for them to actually go on sale.
Otterbox... when you're just that damn clumsy
I miss my otterbox case for my D Eris.
I just got my seidio innocase rugged and like it a lot but its not like the otterbox cases I have had. Hurry up Otterbox!

I'm struggling with the fact that they released a case for the LG Ally before the Incredible.

Just ordered mine!
I'm between the commuter and the defender. Can't decide.
is commuter easy to come off.. only had a defender prior
Check the pdf on the webpage. It shows the parts of the commuter. Looks like a silicone wrap and a hard polycarbonate shell. Should be much easier to remove than the defender.

Just ordered the commuter. I like that the commuter has the silicone between the hard shell and the phone. The defender is backwards. The hard plastic and the the silicone wraps over it.
Got the commuter.
Just interested to see what everyone is using. I can't seem to make my mimd up.

I bought a case for $ 6 @ P Mall covers the back and sides good enough for me.

i think theres another recent thread on this. I hate cases, but love my Samsung TPU case. Super thin, rubber sides, plastic back that looks like factory back. Most people have no idea I have a case on it. Paid $15 for it
Do u thinks they have tpu cases for this phone in the kiosks in the mall. Need something to hold me over until I can get mine from eBay. All they sell at the carrier stores are flip covers for 50 bucks.

I bought the JKase Premium Quality Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 GT-N7100 Streamline TPU Case Cover - Retail Packaging - Clear from Amazon. It was cheap and I was able to get fast 2 day shipping with Prime. (can't post a link yet since I am new)
This case and my Note 2 will be arriving tomorrow. I hope the case will be enough to hold me over until a better deal comes about on a name brand case. I'll be pairing this with a Spigen screen protector.
Im using the white and grey case mate case from at&t. The reason, I billed it to my company.

Same here. I also have the Proclips mount in my car, meaning I have to take the case off to use it. The Body Glove case comes off and goes back on very easily.
Also bought the body glove one from sprint. Was worried about cases and adding bulk but this seems to be minimal and my phone doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of my hand every time I hold it.

I went to several Sprint locations, and none of them had the body glove case. I was also hoping to get something with a belt clip.
The only case I found locally in stock for my Note 2 was at the AT&T store and it was a white/grey CaseMate with a built in kickstand I think it cost $38 and did not come with a screen protector. Wish Otterbox made a Commuter style with built in kickstand for the Note 2.
Case
I bought the Ringke SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case. It's slim. adds very little bulk while protecting at the same time and got it off of amazon for 10.99 on sale from 25.00. I added the Spigen SGP Ultra Oloephobic screen protector and it's totally protected. I love them both.......
Have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-An...6902&sr=1-2&keywords=cruzerlite+galaxy+note+2
Goes really well with the Titanium Gray Note 2.
$5 Ionic Position folio-style case off of Amazon. Offers good protection, looks good, and doesn't have a magnetic closure (huge!).
I just purchased a Seidio Active-like case off of Amazon to use until the Seidio Active combo either comes down in price or shows up at Best Buy for 2/3rds of what it costs now.
I also just returned an Amzer Shellster because it was a piece of crap that broke three days in. Spending $6 to return an item that I'll get $14 back for, after spending $5 initially to have it shipped. Really thrilled about Amzer's customer service policies.

Same here. Paired it with the Spigen UC screen protector which was a PITA to install on such a large screen!
Forgive me if I sound daft, but I have been browsing the forums looking for the best case that would protect my phone. I am deciding between either the Otterbox Commuter, Trident Aegis, Ballistic, Seido Surface, or the Best Buy Platinum Series Case. I am leaning towards the Seido, but have heard somewhat mixed reviews about how it attracts lint, and how it seems loose at times. What I am wondering is, I have heard that the Platinum Series case and the Seido Surface are exactly the same, but with a different logo. If this is true, why are people purchasing the seido case when they can save almost 20 dollars, and get the one from best buy?
Is there some difference that I haven't caught?

Was just at a Best Buy today and they had no cases for the GN II. Here's the Platinum Series kickstand case online:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinum+Series+-+Kickstand+Case+for+Samsung+Galaxy+Note+II+Mobile+Phones+-+Black/7175042.p?skuId=7175042&id=1218832287567
I purchased one from best buy, in store. They only had one so they must have a very limited supply. It was only $34 for the surface with holster. Great deal! I did take mine back as i just got my otterbox defender in. The case and holster were very nice quality though, no complaints! While the sedio is much slimmer i wanted the extra protection of the defender and the ability to place the phone in the holster screen out. I am using the holster as my car mount so having the screen out capability was a must!
I pcked my Best buy Platinum case on Sunday and it is very good quality. I am very pleased with how the case feels and how the holder works. It was on sale for $29.99.

The three best buys near me don't have any cases for the note 2 except the crappy flip cover.
I tried to get the PT case, but every store in Houston was sold out, except the one in the Galleria...which is an absolute traffic nightmare during Christmastime. I'm thinking of getting the store near me to to a transfer, or maybe they'll get more in stock.
Anyone got a review on this case?
Can anyone try the spen around the kick stand?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
The platinum brand is in fact made by seidio. Same case. Best Buy Platinum brand. It even says seidio on the bottom of the packaging fyi

Any videos of this case? I want to see it lol
Id also like to know if any one had tested the spen near the kickstand. Someone posted a pic of how the magnet curves lines where the spen is, can't seem to find it now though.
A good reason is that not everyone lives in the USA and has a Best Buy on the same continent On the other hand, Seidio ships all over the world, and as do eBay sellers.
Because Best Buy does not deserve my money. That place sucks.
I have the platinum bb case. It IS a seidio surface case and holster. I immediately checked out the Spen around the kickstand cuz I'd heard complaints about the seidio active, and I have zero issues. All works well.

I decided to feed the beast because they're close by and I did manage to find one in stock. Also a fair bit cheaper than buying online and having it shipped. Buy online for instore pickup FTW!
However, NO THANKS WHATSOEVER to the best buy at 99 and 1093. I asked those turdburglers if they were in stock at the store that I'm going to go pick it up at this evening...they said "NOPE". Of course, that store could have got stock in, but I doubt it. Furthermore, they didn't offer to do a store transfer that did have one (and I wasn't smart enough to ask.) Their customer service blows.
I am curious to what cases people are using and recommend. I am currently uaing otterbox case I bought when I got my phone and the corners are starting to peel back a bit, so I feel like I need a new case. In my area they don't have much for good protection cases that aren't to expensive.
I'm using the poetic atmosphere case. It has a little lip that lifts the screen off a table when face down, decent grip, and full back coverage. All while being really slim. I had a problem with my first one coming apart, but poetic sent me a brand new case that was "improved". And I don't think they were lying, the new case holds tight to the phone and is staying together nicely. Plus, they are cheap on Amazon.

I've got the Cimo Grip back in frosted clear, and my wife has the amCase with bumper(because it is pink ) I like the Cimo and have heard good things about the Poetics, I will say though that the amCase one doesn't have the power cut out so you cannot use the IR blaster. Altough it is easy to cut out with an exacto knife or the like.

Which otterbox? I am using the commuter and haven't had a single problem.
I use Seidio surface cases on any phone I get. Mainly because they don't add much bulk, offer good protection and come with a belt clip. My phones always look brand new when I sell them a year or 2 later.

That looks like the defender.

I use the urban armor gear for my daily and the poetic flipbook every now and then.

Seidio Surface with kickstand. Love it
I'm using the body glove case that I got at the sprint store. Its nice and thin.
poetic atmosphere during the weekends and an otterbox commuter or defender during the work week if im out on jobs with my employees.
Just some cheap case for 3.99 from ebay, works well enough that screen does not touch when facing down and as well as the camera. IR blaster works and volumes buttons are easy to press.
I'm using the two tone original HTC case. Sexy as hell. Protects the phone nicely.

I have a commuter, and this happens to all of them, I had 3 different ones for my iPhone and the corners always look like that after a while, specially if you take the phone out of the case too often

I use the cimo s grip and ditztronic tpu , both great cases
I'm using the Incipio Dual Pro and I love it. The only thing is I got the aluminum brushed one, and the back scratches REALLY easily. Oh well.
Thanks all for the feedback. I will look into all these cases and see if any spark my liking. the corners on my case are kinda starting to bug me, I don't know why, but it does.
I just got this case about a week ago. Pretty solid so far.

I got the uag also and it's awesome. Cheap on ebay also. Dropped it many times and it held up fine. I don't know about the IR and if it gets blocked because thats not something i use.
Looking for a case that's:
1. Rugged (at least decent shock impact)
2. Somewhat slim
3. Not too pricey
So far I'm torn between:

And
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DY2SEFE/ref=aw_d_pd_wireless
Anyone know which case or of another have the best combination of shock impact without being too thick?
Thanks.

I have the case from the first link you posted. I've had no problems whatsoever thus far. The belt clip is really secure and the silicon not only covers the phone but it serves as a border around the screen so if you drop it the screen won't even touch the floor really. The case is decent too. Definitely worth $13.
about how thick is the case?

It's not bulky. You can trust the reviews on amazon for the case. It's worth it especially for the price.
I have the otterbox defender series. Due to the design of the case, There's a bubble in the screen protector. I simply poped it out and replaced it with a zagg screen protector. Search ebay, I only spent $30. Still waterproof and my 3 kids literally throw my phone across the room and it's still in brand new condition

I almost went with the iBlason, but ended up going to Unicorn Beetle route. It's a nice case and I really like it. It's a tough TPU throughout with a polycarbonate slab on the back. Looks pretty nice and feels good in the hand--quality materials. The only thing is you have to shave the little inner button nubs off with a razor blade as the Amazon reviews mention.
Good luck deciding.

I own both, as well as just about every other case made for our phone...
I hate the i-Blason, and have since I took it out of the package. Nothing really wrong with it, just not my taste. Inner portion is too mushy, hard to slip it in and out of my pocket, and I don't think anyone would call it "thin".
For "thin and rugged" you are far better off with the SUPCASE. Also look at the TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody.
