Love it. Paired a bumper (albeit with the stupid antenna cutout) with an NFC enabled CF backing.

Not hard, but hard enough you won't hit the volume button at the same time you are hitting the power button to lock to the screen.
I do wish however that the TPU case was a little more soft... more silicone like. ..just for grip. But I love it.

Does nfc work? I read in another thread someone was saying their nfc didn't work on a cf back cover.
I really like this setup. I was thinking of doing the same thing but was going to get a bodyguardz cf armor skin and then run a bumper with it. I kinda think this way might be the better way to go.

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?

They add a bit of bulk, but it's worth it. Just for a comparison, here's the AMS beside my Galaxy Nexus.

I liked the protection and the grip from when I had it on my HTC but the silicone made it really alloying when putting it in and taking it out of my pocket and I'd assume it'd be worse since the Note is humongous. I'm guessing it's not a big deal to everyone else?

The silicone on my AMS case isn't very tacky at all. Also the only place it's on the outside is the corners, everything else is covered with plastic.
IMHO the Trident Aegis line of cases are the best on the market bar none. Better protection than the tpu type cases and not near as bulky with almost as good protection as some of the "Sarcophagus" type cases out.
I have had them on my ET4G, SG3, and now waiting for the GN2 Aegis to release! I like and believe in these cases so much I always get a blue one and a black one to swap out occassionally.
It is also the only case I will let my GF use on her new GS3 lol!!

Does the silicone portion around screen, tight? I have a otterbox commuter case for my Iphone and the silicone portion is very lose where the hard portion doesn't cover. Very stupid design and one reason I am not buying another case from Otterbox.
I love the look of the Kraken's but the silicon inside plastic outside and the way the plastic links is horrible. comes off every time you drop it. bad design.
will wait for the case ology impact case.

i had to send my Kraken for my gs2 back because the power button broke when it dropped..then the small piece that is used to clip onto the holster also broke just before i sent it in. their customer service is excellent and they sent me a new one. two days ago the same clip piece broke on the new one. they do seem to come apart when dropped. excellent looking case that provides great protection, but needs work on the construction quality. the aegis on the other hand has been solid with no complaints...other than the wish for the AMS kickstand to be combined to it.
the review videos I watched show it popping apart every impact.

Glad I didn't get yellow... I kidd!!
Nice 1 there...thinking of getting 1 too..but havent decided on the color..mine is the white version..any suggestions besided white @ black?..thanx for the review..
Here is how blue colour of this case looks on the white phone.
The front and one of the back images are taken with flash which kinda screws up the colour, last picture is how it looks in reality.
Frankly in person this case looks quality premium case. It feels nice in hands. I first got Mercury case for my original Note 1 and since then I was waiting for them to launch it for Note II. They have now become my go to manufacturers for cases for all my phones.
Do you think that white color case would get stained after a few months of use much like other TPU cases? Is there any way to order these without that antenna cut-out on the left side? It offers no scratch/drop protection on that corner.
beware, there are many fakes, if you are getting them from ebay, stay away from sellers from hong kong and china, may be other countries as well.
seller from korea are a safe bet, but cannot be too sure.
I have this case in pink and even though that corner is exposed it is a good case mines is tight and it isn't slippery in my hand.

can you show me the under side with the stick, then I can be 100% sure.
I got three of these...light blue, black and white. they look great and fit great. I think they are the nicest looking cases I've had in any of my phones. so yeah, i'm stoked. specially for the light blue. great shade.
if anyone wants pics let me know. I thought of doing a review but then realized this was already up. no sense wasting time.
Arg this thing is so damn slippery. One of the main reasons I got a case was the phone was always slippery (although I tend to be a little more oily than most).
I loved the Incipio Feather on my iPhone. Slightly grippy. I like the protection and have contemplated going to something like the Rearth Slim because I love the slim cases, but would hate to see what happens in a drop. I did drop my iPhone twice while in the feather and the feather took the brunt of the damage, which was great.

Hi All,
I just got this case in the interim until I get the otterbox defender. I had it fedex overnight because I usually put my phone in my pocket. It reminds me of the otterbox commuter but not bulky and its in a silver Aluminum finish with a good feel and not a fingerprint magnet. Not slippery. Tactile buttons are responsive without any problems. Very well built dual protection case. Access ports are not covered.

Yeah the problem was that the Otterbox Defender wasn't available but all these other cases were so I had to go thru looking for a case that would fit in my pocket. The cheap tpu cases didn't instill confidence when I put it in my pocket and the Speck Candy shell case was a little better but it's rubber gray material frays when you put it in your pants. It also was more rigid than the tpu cases but I still was worried about it not being rigid enough. This case however is different and the hard shell is really rigid. No worries about putting this in my pants. The hard material is very solid and a very nice feel. Oh well still waiting for the otterbox but this will do until it gets here. Otterbox using Fedex smartpost sucks! I'm praying it gets here and not lost in the usps christmas frazzle. lol.
This one actually looks very nice. Interesting..
Wow, looks nice and sleek.
I see a seller in ebay has it for about $24.95.
Let me know how you like it when the Otterbox comes since this looks much thinner and easier to pocket.
Nice!..the color blends well with the white note 2..any other colors?..found some pink/white on ebay..

Finally stumbled across this case after searching for three days or so for a case for my incoming Note 2.
I just ordered it off ebay and had to cancel my other case I had ordered from Amazon. I figure the extra $8 will be well spent, and I really like the aesthetics of it. No kickstand is a positive for me.

Because the outer shell is very rigid there is very little play to move the silicone lip. You have to force it hard to move. This is not a case for changing batteries. I'm actually scared to pull the phone out of the case. I had the otterbox commuter for my old Galaxy Note i717 and the material for the outer shell of that case is less rigid than this case. my 2 cents.

Thats too bad, I have to do battery pulls occasionally (especially now that the power button long press doesnt reboot) and I usually depend on dual layer being fairly easy to remove. Right now the Aegis case I have feels like its bad to remove and replace frequently - which is good I guess in general just cus its snug, but bad of you need to remove the battery once or twice a day

Thanks for posting pictures. Mine should be coming in soon. I gather from your asher past that you're suggesting that removing the phone from the case seems pretty difficult?

I'm taking my phone (Galaxy S III albeit) out of the same case on a daily basis (to put into an arm sleeve for a run) and it holds up just fine - pry off one top corner, then another and you have your phone out of it.

Just got this case in last night and it is a great case no doubt, beautiful, not bulky, and offering decent protection, but holy cow is it tight and both hard to put on and remove. It's a concern for me, as I need to change the SIM when traveling.
I'm really afraid to damage the case, it is the tightest fit of any case for any device I have ever owned.

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

You've tried? Does it not snap in or is there a problem with the back buttons?

I just tried it and it is a no go. The phone must be thicker due to the wireless charging

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.

it feels like soft rubber, kind of like the N7 (2013) back.

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.

Just got mine from amazon today....very impressed with build quality and feel. Perhaps a bit slippery because its so svelte, feels like silk in the hand.

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.
