Evecase® ARMURE Heavy Duty Dual Layer Protective Case with Kick-Stand for Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II
## WE HAVE SOME FEEDBACK FROM A USER WHO SAYS THIS CASE IS WORSE IN PERSON THAN IN THE PHOTO AND CREAKS WHEN HANDLED. SORRY I MISSED THAT. REVIEWS WERE FOR OTHER PHONES, NOT NOTE II.
I like that the kickstand on this can be used vertically or horizontally. For $5 the construction looks amazing. They also have this case in other colors. Such a deal!
** One other benefit is that the fact the front is a bit raised which means your screen will never touch a hard surface if it is face down and your palm is less likely to accidentally touch the back button when writing.
Compatible with Samsung Galaxy Note 2 II N7100 (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, Verizon, and all International versions)
Rugged silicone outer layer provides maximum grip and shock absorption.
Hard plastic polycarbonate inner layer adds additional strength and durability for ultimate protection.
Watch video with comfort on-the-go by integrated foldable Kickstand. Works both horizontally and vertically.
Precise cutouts allow full access to camera, speakers, microphone, and control buttons.

Really? Did a search for Evecase ARMURE and didn't get a single thread hit. Looks nice. What do you hate about it? Can you link me to one of the 10 threads about it? Thanks.

The two piece hard case doesn't fit together nor fit the phone, adds a lot of bulk and makes it hard to use the buttons.

Two piece hard case? You mean the hard inner shell and the exterior silicon? So it's not made for this phone and doesn't fit?
Can you please link me to the threads discussing this? I can't find anything. Thanks.
** The only reviews I can find about this online seem to be on Amazon and it is the same review for all 5 colors - my guess is that it is the seller providing all the reviews and that it is a new item. I don't see this sold on eBay at all but the Evecase items I do see sold look nice.
** Although I cannot seem to locate many reviews for this item (may be new), the reviews I read for Evecase in general are very good. Seems odd they would make one very poorly fitting case in 4 colors when they make so many other good products. Are your SURE this is the case you bought? You say there are 10 threads about how horrible it is yet I can find nothing and eBay doesn't even sell this.
I have an Amzer case 95157, it's a silicone polycarbonate dual layer hybrid case with kickstand. it's very sturdy and very durable. I had also but a different Amzer case it's the AMZ95207 TPU skin case cover with kickstand, however that kickstand broke after a week. But it cost me 10.77 after shipping for the tpu case. And 16.18 for first one I mentioned. Here are the links.

Yes, the inner hard shell is two pieces of plastic which fit loosely around the phone and also do not fit together very well which creates a "creaking" sound when handled.

Ah OK thanks. Surprising that a company which makes other decent cases would put out such a dog. Too bad, looks nice.
Nevertheless you should edit your original post saying there are "10 threads about this already". There clearly are not 10 and none for the Note II. Point is it looks like I made a recommendation without searching Didn't occur to search for other devices.

Those are pouches, the case he is talking about is always on his phone.
There are a few cases on the AT&T website now. There is the Body Glove case that doesn't have cutouts for the buttons. It's ashame since I have the Body Glove case on my Capitivate and it's perfect.
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...56&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
There is also a Case-Mate case:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...88&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
It looks nice but $35.00 is pretty pricey.
There is an Incipio case which looks interesting:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...58&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
Has anybody tried this case yet?
Here is the same incipio case:

Same price as AT&T... $29.99
Has anyone picked one up yet?

The incipio looks nice. Wonder if the local AT&T store has it yet so if I don't like it I can return it.
the incipio case is the one i have... its ok, if the sides came up over the top edge a little more it would protect the screen but i suppose it would also change the feel of the phone substantially. Additionally the camera button is awkward to use with the case on. That said, it removes easily (but wont fall off) and appears to do an adequate job of protecting the back.
For people with the Incipio cases, does it cover the front at all? I'm looking to get the InvisibleShield too an am worried it may cause issues with how it fits.
The Incipio case is nice, but it does not cover the display at all. From past experience with InvisibleShield, assuming it only covers the glass on the display, the two should work fine together.
Excellent. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Im returning mine. The fitment is sub par... you can see the gap by just looking into the opening for the power button.
I'm gonna hold out for a good case. I'm waiting on Speck, Otterbox, or a Case Mate Tough case to provide a good quality and protective case.
focus case
Im having the same problem finding a good focus case. I'm currently waiting on my replacement phone to come in because my first one already got dropped and busted. It fell flat on its face no more that two feet off the side of my couch and the glass screen cracked in half. I was leaning towards the incipio case but im thinking it really needs to protect the screen, and i dont think a screen shield would do anything to help break the impact of a fall.
It just blows that of the few cases that are out there, most are out of stock / not available yet, and even more are just crappy cases.
I just got my Incipio Feather case. I like it, though I am also ordering a screen protector.
Honestly, i would like to know who makes some of these ridiculous decisions. Who decided to go to market with these 3 cases for a new phone, which is one of ATT's flag ships for a brand new OS. One is pretty much just cosmetic and as many have said, fits poorly. The second is practically a joke, which causes nothing but problems with the hardware keys. And the third is actually pretty nice, except for the fact that it's red! and not even a true red, but a "verges on the edge of pink" red. not that there aren't people who like red or whatever shade of red the case happens to be - i'm sure there are; however, if the case had been black or dark gray, it would've sold far more units instead of still being on the shelf in every store (at least where i live, anyways.)
I hate the cases that cover the bezel and basically leave only the screen viewable. I find they add bulk, get in the way of your fingers sometimes, etc. This is the thread for cases that don't do this. Preferably these cases have only 2-3 "layers." A lid (or not), the tablet, then the back, and the holding mechanism is typically kind of invisible or unobtrusive. I find it's generally the fourth layer in the middle that goes on top of the bezel or on the back where there's a rotation mechanism that adds the unneeded bulk. Hopefully these cases still allow you to pocket your N7. Personally I'd love some kind of TPU case with a kickstand, but no luck so far.

All those case are exactly the same except for the Kay's. Theres a few different ones one ebay too. Im waiting for a nice slim case too, one like the poetic smart case.

This poetic case differs slightly as it has a hand grip and elastic strap to hold the case closed.
I wonder how it compares to the kayscase one you posted (particularly how the stand holds up to slight shaking on airplanes)

I've been looking at that one myself, nice and slim but too expensive for what it is at £24 inc del (ignoring the vastly over-inflated 'original' price it was never sold at). I'll wait and see what price it ends up being sold for.
I have the top one listed. The black. Works good. Adds quite a bit of thickness but comes off easy. I think I'll use it to snap on when I leave the house and run nekkid when at home.
The Smart Cover works very well and doesn't turn the screen off when folded behind. I was wondering what that little lanyard loop was for, stylus. Good to know. Again it is nice that this case can just pop off whenever you need and not requiring any extra effort to get it off like a sleeve or a tight fit. The N7 is pretty snug in there but comes off with little effort.
I have the slim Poetic Smart Case on order. I like a thin profile. So far I've tried a TPU case and this one. As long as the Poetic doesn't have some major flaw, I'll probably switch to that once I get it. Sure it's $20 but I spent $30 for my Ringke Slim for my Galaxy Nexus.
I have this one, which I just posted a review about, with pics:

I prefer the cases which allow the 360 degree rotation, so those will be a bit bulkier. Don't mind it though since I prefer the versatility over the slight bulkiness.

There are a few minor differences hence multiple links. Some are different prices, some will be out of stock, some have a stylus loop, some come in different colors, some have a differently designed speaker cutout, etc. So I didn't feel it was redundant.

For a book reader like myself, the official cover is great and doesn't really cover the bezel, and its still able to maintain a relatively thin profile.

I'd waiting on a nexus 7 version of http://www.incipio.com/BlackBerry-PlayBook-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-BlackBerry-PlayBook-Executive-Premium-KICKSTAND-Leather-Case.asp
Waiting for the MoKo to come out with more colors! Love this style but it would be perfect if it had a kickstand in the back for portrait mode. Not sure why anyone hasn't made one like that yet.
Please keep this thread updated! I'm still holding out on buying a new case until I find one that's just what I want (I already have a cheapo case protecting my N7 for the time being). Thanks!
I would like something that doesn't snap over the back cover but replaces it similar to what the galaxy note has since the back just snaps off. Here is an example of a very ugly one I can't find the matte black or white ones with a quick google search but they exist link. The only addition I would like to see is the tri fold front cover with magnet to make it a smart cover like this case. If the case had the same outside texture as the stock back that would be a bonus as well. I doubt we will get one though.
I have the poetic case ams and it works quite well.
It's still thin and pocketable while offering great protection due to the sturdy front cover.

I heard back from Vaja that they are planning to make a N7 case, but no timeline.
Also would also recommend Noreve cases made in France.

Seems one of the drawbacks - which your Noreve case doesn't have - of all these stand-up folio style cases are that the lower portion where the case folds & clips onto the corners of the Nexus seems to clasp very tightly.
Thus making it difficult to stand the N7 up quickly or easily because push the clasp down & extracting the N7 to stand it up is difficult.
I never feel the need to "stand it up", so I don't mind. Whatever fits your needs, I suppose.
http://www.kevikev.com/Yoobao-Executive-Leather-Smart-Cover-Case-for-Google-Nexus-7-LCGOGN7.htm
For example I would hate something like this, for two reasons :
1. The border around the frame is just downright ugly. Not only that, but it also takes up too much of the screen.
2. The thing on the back which allows it to stand up is ugly too. Even when you put it flat down on the tablet it'll be wobbly because of it.

The Saddleback one will, because it's leather and will stretch to fit whatever you put in it. It will be tight initially but will eventually mold itself nicely.

yeah i guess the rearth case protects the corners better than the others right ? im talking about the nillkin cases (which is 50% cheaper ) , would need a better comparision though...
Hard to tell but does seem to be a bit better than the Nillkin. Not sure why it's so hard to make a slim case that covers the corners. I realize the stylus is there but they should be able to work around it.
The worst drops are the ones where the corner hits hard - almost always a crackled screen.
If you are buying a thin case like this, it's a foregone conclusion that you aren't looking for protection. I am not certain why people who don't own the case find the need to always point out its lack of top and bottom coverage, even though that's obvious from the pictures. I have bought a Rock case knowing this, to protect the back when sliding it on tables, putting it down in the car, etc. I have a separate case for protection, but these slim cases are not in that category.
To the OP, thx for the link.
I wonder why they mention 2 different models for the case. A int version and US version. Aren't the international and US version going to be the same?

The case is available now on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Feeling-Premium-Verizon-Unlocked/dp/B009POUJ5S/ref=sr_1_1?ie=U
Looking at the pics the top at least appears to be better protected that the other eBay slim cases as the case appears to protect the corners (or at least one corner).
Hard to tell about the bottom of the phone though. Looks to protect the corners from the side views but there is no proper pic of the bottom of the phone in the case. If anyone does order appreciate some photos posted here.
Anyone try those Rock cases listed above?

I did order one in white. It is expected to arrive 30th Oct-2 Nov on the US. 31th Oct in Venezuela. (If arrives by the 30th)... if not, the case will have to stay at my US address for a while. So Ringke and Amazon better ship fast! Availability is the 29th but i have always have a good experience with Amazon.
I have sitting in my US address my unopened White Galaxy Note 2, Spigen Ultra Crystal and a Original Samsung Black Flip Cover. I expect the white Ringke will make it too in my hands the 31th. Will take some pics...
As i see it is just as the Ringke for Galaxy Nexus. Top and bottom should be exposed ...... corners semi protected.,...
It's not the most ideal protection, I'm more of a TPU person....
But so far the original flip case and the Rearth one would seem the better quality cases out there..., so far. To this date...
I also saw on Amazon the Elago... they seem to be the same as Rearth...., but in doubt picked Rearth from the brand as seeing their job on Galaxy Nexus cases.

?? I had the rearth for Galaxy Nexus. The phone is fully protected for drops - all corners and back are fully covered and sufficient lip to protect the screen in case of a light drop. You sure you had the rearth ringke? See the GNex pics at http://www.rearthusa.com/sprint_verizon_galaxy_nexus_slim.html
Used it for nearly a year and it was the perfect case for me which is why I'm such a fan. It even took more than a few drops with no damage to case or phone. I think the thick cases are overkill for normal day to day use IMHO. An ultra-slim like the rearth, as long as it protects all corners, is fine.
I'm really hoping the note 2 is similar to the nexus case. Looking forward to seeing your pics.
This looks like a good case just ordered it myself. Also grab this one if your interested.

I wish they'd make these cases for the Note 2:

My case just arrived. Too late timing and now the person is gone. It is sitting on my usa ofic and i am in venezuela.. Maybe i can ask for some pics at least for you guys. Will check this thread.
On the rearth web site they now say available on amazon and ebay. Amazon doesn't ship outside the US. Trying to find the eBay seller but no luck so far. If anyone does find it appreciate a link.
I saw it on ebay already. Think it was rearth themselves and not a third party. Try typing them into a seller search.

Was just looking around but they have it in White and Black coming soon! But too expensive for me

The Defender case would be nice for when I go mountain biking.... :fingers-crossed:
Amazon will have it for a lot cheaper. One thing I noticed it said one year warranty. When did they change that? Used to be lifetime.

Most likely when people started calling them on it.
Otterboxes are overpriced and overrated IMO.
Sometimes bestbuy gets them in early at least it was the case when I got my htc evo lte at the time

So who else do you recommend for a durable case?
thank you.
I was hoping they would make a case. I currently have a Defender on my iPhone 4. I wish they had come up with another solution for the home button. As it is designed there is a hole in the screen protector which can allow dust to get behind the screen protector.
Instead of the otterbox I think I will be going with a Seidio active case with clip and apply my own screen protector.

Well i am still waiting for the otterbox, I have looked at the Aegis and Seidio lineup and i feel they do have some design flaws, i know it wont matter for a lot of people but for me its a deal breaker, look at the back of Aegis or Seidio, the outer hard shell doesnt have any support at the bottom near the usb charger, so whenever you pull your phone from your pocket the rubber will get misplaced and pulled in different angles, because it doesnt have any support. There are a few videos on youtube complaining about that.
Thats not the case with otterbox, the hard shell pretty much encompasses the whole device.
just my 2 cents.

It has plastic all the way around it. I have to use the usb plug to pop the rubber cover out of my kraken case my my nexus, I can't get it with my fingers.

Just pop out the screen protector on the otterbox. I have a defender on my GS3 and I just popped out the otterbox screen protector and put a zagg shield on instead.

A lot of people like the Trident cases. I'm especially excited for the Kraken AMS, which has loads of accessories (car mounts, bike clips, etc). Trident seems to develop a wider range of cases for their phones, all of which are cheaper than the lower end otterbox.
The main advantage with Otterbox is the plastic screen cover, which is built into the case. This is a hit-or-miss, depending on the preference. For me, it is a big miss because dust will invariably get in behind the screen (especially if you work construction like me), forcing you to remove the case to clean the phone on nearly a weekly basis. After a while of taking the case on and off, the soft outer shell will lose its tension, and will start to flop off when you don't want it to. This has been a constant design flaw with Otterbox.
The other thing Otterbox has going for it is the full size holster. I use the holster all the time, so this used to be a plus. The problem is that the hard plastic clip is prone to breaking.
I now go with the Trident Kraken and SpiGen protector. I don't use the included belt clip, and instead I use a full pouch which fits the phone case and all. This has worked well for my Nexus, and should work well for the GN2 as well.
It is a matter of preference though. This is only my opinion, and lots of people are quite happy with Otterbox.
