thinnest case without a flip cover ?

i have no interest in these flip cover cases. i'm really looking for something similar to the rock case i had for the GS3 but it seems like rock is only making the flip cover cases. can anyone recommend something thin and minimal without the flip cover?
i wonder if you can cut the flip cover off that rock case and it still would work ok?

I just received that case and it seems fine for my needs. Sprint stores also have a minimal case for $25.

I just got this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009JYR18M/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
Very thin and lite.

Nice find.. Does it give it a more grippy feel so that it doesnt feel like your phone will slip out your hand?

I think Rearth ringke slim case is one of the best, had it on my note 1 and it's awesome,so thin, premium quality and offers good protection, haven't got the note 2 case yet u can see it on their website.

I pre-ordered this one myself. Have it on my S3 and it is very thin and gives good corner coverage. I would highly recommend the Ringke slim.

Just ordered this in black for when my Note 2 gets here

Magnum would be jealous -- It doesn't get any thinner. Protection around top and bottom. Maybe not around the screen.

Not "ultra grippy" but much better than the naked back. It's a flat not shiny finish.

One of these might suit your needs:
http://www.slipgripcarmounts.com/Using-Defender-Case-------------------------_c_27737.html

I am planning in adding some industrial quality Velcro to the back of the holster and a piece to my dash.
Our my other idea is to use my universal mount that has a tab adapter. You stick it to the back of the holster and it clips onto the bracket on the dash.
The main reason i ordered the otterbox defender is to have the holster to adapt to a gps mount

I use this one from radio shack I got it for my old evo shift but it works just fine with the note 2

I'm not certain, but I don't think the ProClip and SlipGrip mounts are interchangeable. There is a thread here (starting with message 23) showing how they could be made interchangeable:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=757648&page=3

I have decided to modify the belt clip for the defender into a car clip.
I've basically taken the belt clip off the back and glued on with epoxy a Brodit 'move clip'. I've then modified a Brodit tilt/swivel to accommodate the other half of the move clip.
I then modified another Brodit holder that I use for the handset when not in the defender to use the move clip and so I can swap car holders in a second depending on what case I'm using.
The second part above is still been glued. Once done I'll take a few pics and post them

That seems to be the answer. Thanks

Is that one a vent clip? My Jeep has unusual vents that most vent clips can't fit. Looks good though.

Thanks everyone for the feedback. I'm also looking at ThingSling's car mount. They say you'll be able to attach the thingsling to it, all buttons will be accessible, and that it can rotate. Plus thingsling will help operate the GN2 one handed, especially since I have the OBD on it.
Hmm, either that or the slipgrip cases.

Are those sheet rock screws??

Try the iMagnet mount. I love mine.

Arkon will be announcing a couple of new mounts at CES that will fit the Note 2 with most any case on. I'll have a review soon.

Based on user reviews this car Mount is perfectly snug with the otter box defender series..

Yes, I checked behind first to make sure I wasnt going to hit anything. This is my work truck so two holes didnt bother me. But like I sade it also came with a suction cup base. I dont like suction cups especially during the winter. They keep falling off (although I do use one on my garmin gps, I dont care about it like I do about my phones).

Otterbox really dropped the ball after the Dell Streak case. That case had a notch cut in the back of the holster clip that allowed it to be attached to a gooseneck. You just turned the phone to face out, dropped it into the holster, and then attached the holster to the mount. It was perfect and they haven't repeated it since and I have no idea why. Made such good sense.
In any event, I have switched to the Exomount 2 and I love it. It truly is universal and it works really well.

I love the iOttie! Got one for my GS3 and it is perfect. Ordering one now. Sad thing is I just ordered the slipgrip yesterday lol. Guess I'll toss it on craigslist.

I made my own... This was for my S3 with a defender but I'm gonna do the same with my GN2 when my case comes in. I had an old car mount for my OG droid so I just modified it a bit.

Note II Case with Wallet

I'm looking to get a Note II case that can double as wallet. The one I picked up at Verizon when I got the phone is a bit bulky, and I'm considering getting a new one Does anyone have one they like?

I can't answer your question; but the reason why might interest you.
I couldn't dream of using a case which leaves the corners exposed but I've only found one wallet case with full corner protection, but from the pictures it would be too bulky (the leather protrudes from the side further that the edge covering)
I'll link later if I remember but it's on play.com type note 2 wallet.
If you find a skin but full protection wallet case please pm me!

There are plenty over at www.gmarket.kr it seems like that the koreans like wallet case, and they do have the largest range.
I tend to like the forest green brand you can find them at gmarket or ebay.

I've got this sinjimoru sinji pouch from amazon which can attatch to the back of any case or phone basically. Can fit like 4 cards and some cash.. I even got an extra battery and two cards in it once. It was around $10, attaches with a sticky type back, doesn't stretch and I absolutely love it. Have it on the back of my otterbox.

Interesting - a lot of the cases on the website look interesting, definitely considering one of the ones that double as a stand. I see your point - just figured that if I have a big phone, I could cut down on the amount of things I have to carry around. The one I have has worked ok so far, but tends to bulge in the middle. Don't know if there are any that solve that problem though.
If anyone is wondering, play.com is buy.com in the US; looks like it has a smaller selection though.

It's only $12, it's good quality, not real leather of course.
Easily fits two drivers licenses, two credit cards, and a few Disney passes.
Not really a wallet to hold cash, though you could put a few bills folded into it.
It also folds on the back to prop up like a stand.
The phone snaps into a plastic case on the inside, seems to provide meager protection. Corners aren't really protected well.
It also uses a button clasp instead of a magnet, which is good.

Poetic Palette Slim Hard Case

This is a minimal case, it's basically Poetic's Version of the Incipio Feather Line of cases...that said I just need some scratch protection till some better protecting cases are out...The case itself fits snugly onto the phone, there is no lip and no top and bottom protection..attached are photos.

No lip meaning that if set face down the glass is contacting the surface?
How does the case stay on the phone?
Do the corners of the case on the top and bottom of the phone touch before the phone, meaning if standing on end does the case touch or the phone surface?
I ordered one from amazon today in anticipation of Verizon's release in a couple days.

Corners and the edges wrap around the bezel to hold it in but if you put the phone face down the glass will contact a table surface as there's pretty much no lip.

for like 7 bucks, eh why not. I'll get a 2 dollar TPU on eBay once they start coming out lol

Dang. Too late to cancel the order with amazon. Guess I'll be sending it back.

Thanks for posting! just ordered one off amazon!

FYI to everyone...this does NOT fit the Verizon version.

picked one up today for free from their warehouse, now if I can just go buy the phone tomorrow is a different story.

Another confirmation that this does not fit the Verizon model....

I really like the size of this case as it seems on par with the Rock cases I've used with my SGS2, 3, and 4.
Can you comment on the "textured" feel? What I really look for in a case is that it has some friction/grip to it so that I can rest the phone in my hand at an angle and it won't slide out.

Lip is minimal but glass is not touching a table surface. You can test it with some source of light. Actually, lip is 1mm and lip cover whole left and right edges (including corners) of the phone. Whoever looks for Ultra-Slim case, this is the case to get. At least for now.

I agree! It doesn't draw attention, the lip is barely noticeable during usage and it's reasonably priced! :good:

wish it worked for verizon atleast they refunded me haha

Loving this case. It's slightly textured like the Rock case for my S3 and the Quicksand case for my S4, which makes the phone feel a little safer in my hands.
It's super slim and light. It was also crazy inexpensive. +1 from me.

I dig the cover. Very low profile.
As to the case, I like taking stuff with me, but being able to ditch it all and just use the tablet.

I would rather have a low profile cover, rather than a portfolio style. I always have a laptop bag with me so I don't really need extra space. That tpu cover is all over amazon and it has the right price, so I'm gonna grab one. Thanks...

I totally get it. The flip covers are nice and compact. To each their own.
I have two common scenarios.
1- I take just the portfolio and nothing else. 80% of the time.
2- I take a larger bag in which I ditch the portfolio and just take the tablet with the plastic case. 20% of the time.

I was meaning the tpu as a low profile option. Having to deal with a flip cover always seemed to be weird to me. I like that you probably saved 30 bucks and got the best of both worlds, plus gained a few utilitarian features from using the planner instead of buying a specific tablet cover. It doesn't seem like anyone other than you (and me soon enough...) are interested in a tpu/silicone case. I emailed Trident about a rugged case but they have nothing on the radar yet for the tab 3.
