As the title says looking for a tpu bumper case. Preferably with the buttons cut out.
Seems to be a ton of aluminum ones but true bumper style (no back) seem few and far between. Especially without the stupid antenna hole

Wow. A VERY helpful post.
And, out of curiosity, what, precisely, is so unreasonable or absurd about his request? Namely, a TPU bumper without an antenna cutout (an antenna which apparently is ONLY available in tiny little Korea and nowhere else in the world) with button cutouts (a preference but apparently not a requirement from the looks of his post)?

If the buttons lined up fine and doesn't need a whole lot of pressure to work the buttons vs uncovered I wouldn't mind. But a few of the cheap cases don't line up and make it more difficult.
But I spent over an hour the other night and I think I found 1 maybe 2. But they didn't do much for me.

why not just find a TPU case that you like and bust out the scissors?

That antenna is available in other countries also, like Japan. Not just Korea (not sure if the antenna is even used in Korea.) Don't assume and then post as a fact.
I never called his idea or desire absurd as you say, I just know it doesn't exist.
I've spent hours looking for a decent tpu bumper. I've purchased 2 and they are terrible. A good tpu bumper does not exist for the note 2. That's why I called it a unicorn.
I would sincerely like to know if he finds this item, since I would like one also.

I tried it and it was a failure. Lol A designed/molded one has a finished edge on the lip. This keeps it somewhat rigid and adds strength. When I cut one it got all floppy and flimsy. Didn't work well.

Yeah, I'm slightly worried about that too, but if you think you'll be dropping it, a heavy duty case will likely serve you better. I use a case to avoid scratches and not really for drop protection, which seems to fall in the realm of luck/bad luck.

Good point. I had a tpu case on my gs3 and it was enough protection. Until I ran it over with a pallet jack. I just want a little protection. I have the heavy duty case from cruzerlite at the moment. But wanted to try something else

I believe it's only in a white/black hybrid. It's not terrible looking on the grey note 2, but I do often go for black cases if given a choice.

I don't think I could get use to a Lifeproof case and I would probably end up scratching the transparent plastic on the Lifeproof or wearing out the headphone and usb port covers. I would much rather use something like a SealLine eSeries pouch for when I need some protection against the elements. With a SealLine, I can easily take it out and put it back in.
I saw these cases for the S3 and iPhone. I wish I had one for the Note 2. I know it would make the device fat fat fat, but to protect it from literally EVERYTHING is a small price to pay! hehe. My Note was a present for me, and I'd love to keep it in perfect condition and sometimes you can't avoid it.... until you get one of these cases.

My wife hasn't worn out hers yet, though she usually doesn't carry it around with the headphone port in place. I really like her lifeproof case for the iPad! Instead of putting on a separate screen cover, they just put an o-ring around the screen. If they did make a case for the note they'd probably do this so we don't scratch up a plastic cover.
I'm looking to buy two or three cheap tpu cases to mod to go with my flip covers. I want just cheap ones for now to see if I like them or not. Does anyone have a link to ones they like? Ive checked ebay but its always a gamble. If this is in the wrong section I apologize. Thank you in advance.

does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail
LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.
I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).

The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are
1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)
2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)
3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

Id rather go for the Samsung case than that Diztronic case. Thats too expensive to be considered cheap. With 50 off the Samsung case comes out to 15.

In case people want to see what it looks like, I'm posting pics. Obviously, it won't provide as much protection as, say, an Otterbox Defender or a UAG but it looks pretty nice. It adds very little bulk and the cutouts are pretty much perfect.
I'm extremely happy with it, even though the shipping to my country cost me more than the actual case.
And pardon the quality of the pictures. I rarely take pictures so I'm not very good at it.

It should be available now, unless Cruzerlite makes them on a per-order basis. If that's the case, it only took a couple of days before I was notified that they had already shipped it.

At $10, you can't go wrong. But it is really thin and fits really well. I don't think you'll be disappointed should you decide to get one.

So far, I haven't had any trouble holding on to it at all and it doesn't really feel like I'm gripping my phone any more tightly than I did before. I can imagine why you'd be concerned, though, given the finish. But yeah, with my 'normal' grip, it doesn't feel like it's in any danger of slipping out of my hand/s.
Thanks awestrike. I will put in my order tonight.

Been driving myself crazy trying to find something like this and keep coming up empty. Basically I'm looking for a holster case where the belt loop(s) are on the top of the case, not the middle, so the top of the case sits at or below the belt line. These cases are exactly what I'm looking for but all of them are for <5" phones:

Universal? Pouch
If anyone has any ideas they would be greatly appreciated... been looking since I got this phone with no luck.

I've done that plenty, the problem is I'm looking for something with the point of attachment to the belt in a different location that most cases... Please allow my terrible mspaint job to illustrate this.
I've about given up on the concept though, I think I'm going to have to jump ship to a Moto X or a Nexus 5 once they're available on the google play store. I love my Note 2 but it's just slightly too big for what I want to do with it
item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=360649119899?
Attachment point seems higher than normal.
I believe it's hard to find because it makes it awkward to clip such a large device from the top. It makes it un-leveled compared to the center mounting point.

Here's the phone in the holster, on my belt. It's not eh... as gunslinger/drop style as it could be, but it keeps it out of the way well enough. If you're putting this on a standard sized belt (1.5-1.75 inches wide), you can probably turn it sideways.
Another in-holster pic.

The buckle retention clips in and there's a bungee that's attached to that. Very easily manipulated to hold even larger phones. I have no doubt this could hold ANY of the upcoming phones, since this is designed to also hold a Motorola XTS5000 radio.

@apallohadas: that is really badass!!! Looks much better on that belt than the other vertical pouch, but i think this one will be harder to take out? Although it will stay more secure inside when you are on a chase!

Takes a bit more finger manipulation than just slapping a velcro tab for sure. But I broke the stitching on the other pouch going over a short fence. Just had a foot chase the other day with this baby and it was solid
The obvious downside of this one is that it provides ZERO water/sand protection. It's literally just a holster. The inside surface is a hard nylon cloth, but both gorilla glass and/or a tempered glass screen protector has a higher hardness than nylon, so I'm not worried about the screen getting scratched.
If someone is working a construction site, beach, somewhere with lots of sand, this is not a good buy. For LEO's and the general public, just awesome.

Well I got it and do like it. It is not rubbery as I thought it would be, it is smooth plastic and is a bit slick but does improve on the grip of the Note quite a bit. I may add a thin strip of electrical tape to the sides.
Went on with no trouble but nice and snug. Buttons are actually easier for me to use with the case on then bare. Bottom port holes are pretty deep so may have an issue with some connectors - a right angle headphone jack might have trouble.
It appears that it will offer good protection from drops but nothing for screen scratches so I put on a screen protector as well,
.
several good reviews in the general/generic note 8 forum.
