Hello XDA,
I have just ordered myself the case in the picture as it´s described it is only 0.3 mm thin, but I am worried if this will protect my Note II from drops? What is your opinion?

Hi
I've got quite the same case and my phone fell down twice before I understood my jacket pocket had a hole in it...
The height was about 1.50 meters and the phone landed quite hard on the concrete.
No problem for the phone at all but the case have some scratches and a broken corner.
For the price and the slimness of this case I'm really happy and ordered the same one

I have this case in gray. I like it, it doesnt add any bulk at all but its only good for scratch protection. It wont protect your phone from dropage. Another thing is its a pain in the ass to put on or take off because the tpu is not stretchable like silicones. I think its best paired up with a pouch.

Thank you everbody! Now I can die in peace... :angel:
it's not TPU or SILICON... it's plastic
I have the dark coloured version on my titanium gray Note II, it almost seems like naked :good:
I use it with a charger dock without problem. However, the original charger/data cable does not connect well to the phone, I have to use the cable from my Huawei P1.
be warned it offers almost no drop protection
the plastic will permanently deform on impact and required frequent removal and cleaning. dirt particles can be trapped under and cause scratches on your phone, unlike silicone cases.
Also its extremely tight fitting. remove it in the wrong corner and it will stretch out permanently and be loose fitting/deformed.
that said, its uber sexy and discreet. adds almost zero bulk to an already behemoth phone.
not sure i f mine was from the same seller, but the USB port cutout wasn't big enough for my USB plug causing the cable to fall out very easily and not charge the phone. a quick trim with a razor blade fixed it.
also i find it difficult to press the power and volume buttons. I wish the cutouts were a little more generous, but i didnt wanna muck with those 2, as it would be difficult to cut cleanly.
That is very nice, where did you get it, I am looking for one of this.

Hey thanks, I went ahead and got one too.
Kinda wondering about the stand while folded in, it doesn't scratch the GT back?
No scratches from the stand. The rear and the stand sit a few mm away from the actual tab, quite well designed.

Got a white model I bought from Focalprice. Really like it too, but it sucks up the blue color from my jeans. Also, you can't use all 3.5mm since the cover adds a bit of rubber.
And it's not a jelly material, it's more like semi-stiff rubber.
I'm not sure what you mean, it sucks up the colour from your jeans? This has plastic on the rear and no colour is removed from mine.must be a bit different. Also I plug in my speakers and headphones to my tab and I've not had any problems with the hole size

I think I'll have most of the corners covered once this protective plastic is combined with the Zagg screen film. Applied that yesterday

I think he means the white gets discoloured by the blue of his jeans. Had a similar issue with a white phone cover on the GF's phone. After a week or so it had taken on the colour of her makeup! It is almost orange now, the cover NOT the GF
This is a great case in the OP, I have the same case but with out the stand. I got it off of Amazon for around 10 bucks.
I'd highly suggest still getting a screen protector when you buy a case though. My wife scratched hers, but she was carrying it around in her purse, so who knows what scratched it, could have been any one of those rocks she carries around in there!

I purchased this case for £6.95 form AMazon yesterday and it came today. I wanted a thin case that offers as much protection as it could, and I believe this is that case. THis case is listed as $35 on thier website, I just wanted to say I dont think that it is worth that much.
The case has a hard, plastic structure with a layer of Brushed Aluminum on the back. This gives it a cool touch and a very nice texture. All cutouts are very well aligned and I have had no issues with audio or pressing the volume or power buttons. The pogo pins are also exposed which is nice as this is the only case I know where they have allowed them to be open. Overall the case is very good very slim and offers quite a lot of protection.
THe negatives come in the way of the design though. The huge poetic logo on the back of the case (see images) may put some people off as well as the bottom and top silver plastic being exposed on the device. Also the case is not that grippy to hold. Meaning it is very slippy to hold and may fall out of your hand.
Great case at a great price.

Here's my video:
Great review man... does it provide any protection to the front? What I mean is if you put the nexus face down does the glass touch the surface at all?
Thanks for putting up the review. That has got to be one ugly case though. I want my branding to be mostly invisible. That one screams LOOK AT ME!!!!! :silly:
Just recently got my nexus and I've been looking for a new case. I just recently dropped my nexus on concrete and the top right corner the I guess bezel or the silver gray material came off. Am wonder ok by if this case would provide decent protection against such a fall

Lol Im not a fan of the branding, but the case feels really nice in the hand
I could NOT find a case that I liked. I tried the official, but wasn't fond of its inability to stand up on its own, nor its inability to keep the front flap closed. I know I wanted smart cover functionality, but they all seemed more bulky than I wanted. I didn't even necessarily want a CASE, just a cover/stand like the iPad smart cover.
So I did this. Started with one of these for $13:
http://microcenter.com/product/403316/Folio_Tablet_Case_for_Google_Nexus_7_Black
I carefully took a putty knife and removed the cover part from the plastic case part and used a double sided adhesive square that I cut to the approximate size and stuck it directly on the back of the N7. Its entirely removable with a little heat and some patience, and does exactly what I want lightweight, cheap, and about 15 minutes of time. The buttons and ports are all full exposed and if folded back, it still fits into an OEM dock. I don't have one but I tried it on a buddy's at work. Yes, I know I need to clean my screen.

Sorry! Fixed!
Neat. Glad it worked out. I was thinking of putting something together myself like this but I am not sure what magnet to use.
Which one did you end up using and where did you get it from?
Its built into the cover I linked to. The cover is double sided taped to a hard plastic shell from which I removed it.

Good idea man. I'm thinking I might try this with a TPU case instead of directly onto the tablet.

I'm thinking of doing this with a good quality hardshell case. Any suggestions on a good hardshell to use?
I ordered this, it came today. The case is pretty nice. It has a slim profile, tpu backing with rigid sides. I'll have pics up in the morning if anybody is interested. 18.99 on ebay
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
so here are pictures of the case, sorry im a little late with getting these up. The case is a rigid TPU style case, clear on the back with back accents on the sides. It is a tight fit with the phone, but once in its very secure. The case doesnt wrap around the curvature of the phone all the way, so it looks like there will be no issue with a tempered glass screen protector. All the ports have access, including the IR port for the TV app. There is no lensing issues with the camera, or flash reflection, which is nice. The only real downside to this case is getting used to how far you need to press your finger to use the power switch, but im over that. there is also the slightest of gaps in the top of the case by the power button, but its a non-issue for me. Overall im happy with the case.

Thanks for the pictures, the case looks great! Does it add a lot of bulk or weight to the phone?

its a little thicker, but if i dont have something solid, ill do some foolish thing, all in ll its not bad
I had that case and sent it back for refund. It's a great case but I like a little more edge lip than this had. It's very low profile with excellent grip. I am opting between the clear UAG case or the supcase that I'm still waiting on to be delivered.

Here's a bit of a left-field suggestion among all the rubber backs and bumper cases: why not get a sleeve case instead?

I found this seller on etsy a while ago. They make pouches for any number of devices using jeans fabric on the outside and coloured cotton on the inside. What I like about them: they are very minimalist and low-key. Perfect for protecting your G4 while traveling or when you want to toss it into a bag but you're worried it might get pushed around or scratched by sharp objects such as your house keys.
In my opinion a perfect solution for those looking to protect the phone when it's not in use but who don't want to mess up the design by putting a rubber or bumper case around it. Of course, it won't help you if it slips out of your hand and hits the concrete while you're using it.. those are the trade-offs.
I have a similar pouch for my Nexus 7 (2nd gen) and it's been serving me well for almost 2 years now. Highly recommended.
I ordered one for my G4 yesterday (the phone arrived two days ago). I'll post an update once I receive the sleeve case.

It's pretty simple actually...
1) a sleeve doesn't protect against drops
2) you can't use your phone without taking it out of the sleeve.

I made similar points in my initial post —
It won't be of much use to you if you feel you need protection at all times.
I intend to keep it in the sleeve when not in use and while traveling. I'm going to see if that works for me as well as I hope it does — it's been a great combination with the Nexus 7.

See the pictures I posted above - it's like a jeans pocket that you slide the phone into. Mine has an extra pocket in the front that can carry a credit card or something similar. Just slide your phone in and it's protected from falls or during travel.
I prefer to use my phone 'naked' and I use instant messaging much more than actual phone calls, so this arrangement works very well for me. Hope this helps.
