Looking to pick up a real Samsung flip cover today. Have a T-Mobile 30% off accessory coupon. Before I waste gas, do the retail stores have the Note 2 flip covers on the shelf?
Edit: nope, just called a few. "Not yet"
Stop in a local Tmobile looking to accessorize my International SGN2 and they aren't expecting accessories until next month.

Expect them to be in stock around 11/7
If you don't mind spending the extra few dollars go to the Sprint store and buy one. The case says Samsung so it's all good.

Tried a local T-Mobile store this morning, no accessories in stock. So much for making a splash on one of the best phones of the year.
Once Sandy blows her way through here, I'll try to stop by a Sprint store.
I checked a Verizon store just because it's next door to the tmobile store. lol desperation. ..
Has anyone actually confirmed them at Sprint?
Sprint store had white and black when I bought my phone. Ask for 20 percent off and they will probably give you the discount.

I highly doubt a discount will happen if you (I) am an ATT customer. Are they $39?

The 20% off is when you buy 2 or more accessories.
Just got the Samsung flip case from a Sprint store!
I went in just to get whatever they might have to protect the phone a little while i decided what i wanted. They said they had sold out of the other style (the one that clips on over the back and sides) but they had the silver and the white flip cases.
Fyi they did offer the 20% off if i got a second accessory but the only other thing i want right now is maybe that spare battery charger and they only had the s3 one.
At least my screen is protected for now. I will have to be really careful until stores start carrying some other cases that i can try to see what i like.
I like the look of the fly grip too. Wouldn't mind attaching that to the flip case.

If you can wait like a week or more, T-Mo has a 30% off accessories coupon you can use

They are talking about the body armor gel case. I bought that one and flip case in store the first day. You can get the gel case online at sprint.com
Yeah right now that's the only one that isn't back ordered on the Samsung website. But i didn't want to wait for shipping and i wanted to try the flip case anyway...so it worked out perfect for me !

I can't find a case for this phone anywhere online. I checked amazon and googled it. People were talking about samsung.com, but I don't see anything specifically for the note 2 there. Can everyone just post links of places they got their cases? I really want a case before I destroy the phone. Thanks!

Samsung.com.
Shop products -> Cell Phone Accessories. Should be 20 pages of stuff
Filter for "Cases and Holsters" on the left. Should be 4 pages now.
Go to page 4. Official Samsung flip cover ($40) and protective case ($30) are there in 2 colors each. Use the 50% coupon from thread at the top of this forum.
Also, there is always eBay, and I heard Sprint stores have cases in stock. My T-Mobile store had no accessories
There are not many US-based retailers that have cases for sale at reasonable prices. I have a slew of them coming through eBay but most of them are third-party and shipping from Hong Kong. I checked the T-Mobile store nearby only to find that they did not have any accessories in stock and did not have any idea when they'd be getting them in.
Samsung.com, when I last checked yesterday, did not have any of the flip covers in stock for the Note 2. I put in a backorder on them but have no received an email yet.
Amazon.com, has mostly third-party accessories as well and it's difficult to find the correct items. Keep in mind that you can search for N7100, N7105, SGH-T889, SGH-i317 and many other model numbers.
Hoping within the next week or two that more US retailers begin carrying accessories.
Sprint
Anybody checked if Sprint has any accessories either?
Just called up T-Mo again, and again, "sorry, nothing yet. Looks as we got the phones early or something". Sigh...I think I got a simple one that should be here by next Monday...from Amazon.com
Well that's lame I'd really like to protect my phone. Can you guys post links to the few cases you are finding? I mean why can't we buy from European retailers sites? It's like they aren't selling cases yet either...
Just checked and Samsung.com is indeed out of the Flip cover, but they have the Protective cover in White and Black in stock.
This one looks decent for $5 and free shipping on Amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-HardBa...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I1D60SXXGX7LUY
This one is nice but seems priced high ($35). Also free Amazon prime shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I2EC7ERBS5SP29

Those are good thanks! And it looks like there are more related too. These must have been added in the last couple days as I could find NOTHING on Amazon last week.

More and more cases are showing up each day. I ordered that Poetic flip case myself last night. Got a notification that it had dropped to $4.95, and there was no shipping cost (even without Prime), so it was pretty much a no-brainer.
Saw that about the Poetic case myself too. Went to order it today and they wanted to charge something like $25 for delivery to Europe Thanks but no thanks. Pity.
If you receive delivery I'd love to read a review

I'm particularly curious to know, when that case and the Note 2 arrive, if it can handle the phone inside of a TPU.
Speaking of TPUs, I haven't heard back from Diztronic yet on whether they're making TPUs for the Note 2. TPUs don't get any better than Diztronic, imo.
Wish there was a seidio case out.. Or something like it.. That was a nice case that protected well

I have bought quite a few cases for my Note original, and then my S3, and now a few for my Note 2, but i always come back to using this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Gel-Sil...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5d35b91c97
It is cheap and is relatively unobtrusive. It is thin and yet, sturdy enough to protect the phone from a drop from a table top. The sides wrap around the front of the touchscreen just enough to give it protection from putting it directly on a flat table top. The kick stand is very useful to stand this beautiful screen, especially for the kids to watch a show.

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.
The otterbox defender case is great, makes the verizon galaxy note2 perfect, well for me.
Wife bought me one for christmas but she didnt know I ordered one also, so now I have an extra one, if anyone needs a galaxy note 2 otterbox email me and we can decide a good price, my loss is your otterbox,[email protected]

I live by the otter box defender case they may be big and bulky but they are worth it. 42 dollors is pretty cheap I would buy it for that but I got one and he is right they are 59.95 at the stores. But the good thing is they will replace the case if it wears out.

Lol, too high , otterbox sells them for 59.95 plus shipping almost knocking down 70 bucks and mine is new also still sealed in box for 42.00 with free shipping and its too high,. Or was you just stating that otterbox in general are too high
Not to be a **** but they are cheaper than that on Amazon . com

Does yours come with 30-day no quesiton asked free return shipping guarantee like Amazon as well? You probably better off selling it on CraigsList where people are less educated about current phone gadgets and pricing
Dude they are 40 new on Amazon. http://www.amazon.com/gp/offer-listing/B00A21L2WM/ref=dp_olp_new?ie=UTF8&condition=new
Its sold
how do you decipher a good deal from a knock off? the prices on these things vary so widely. anywhere from about $25 upto $80. i dont want to overpay but i dont want to end up with a knockoff either.
I bought mine from Walmart online for $30. They were $50 in the store. When it broke Otterbox verified the code stamped in the case and sent me a replacement.

ebay knockoff otterbox
I bought my otterbox defender from ebay as well.( ohcases )( 26 bucks and change)..However- it was genuine, and despite that- I broke the clip holster within 15 days- the ebay company gave me a hassle for exchange- ( return my damaged part, and then they would send out a replacement..and of course- shipping back at MY expense.
I contacted otterbox, sent pics via email-( of the genuine stamping included) and within 7 days - had an entire new package- all new case, clip etc. So the point here- ebay doesnt mean fake- but the deals are out there ...and so are vendors who dont know what customer service means.
[
im sure a cheap knockoff would do the same job protection wise(maybe), but if it breaks you have to buy another, it could end up costing you more than a genuine one. ive had my note 2 for a year now and only had the kickstand case that just covers the back. yesterday made me think i should have more protection. i had my phone in the passengers side door,and i forgot it was there and opened the door. the note 2 fell onto the concrete, glass side down, but somehow(thankfully) didnt break and i had a screen protector, so no scratches either

Otterbox Defender
Hello everyone,
I got my Otterbox Defender with 25 US$ from Ebay, delivered from Hong Kong to Romania in 3 weeks, free of charge, par avion.
It's genuine and perfect, blister and all. I did the mod shown here somewhere to allow for the 6400mAh battery from Mugen.
It's PERFECT and I am happy.
Cheers, Mihai.
thanks
