I purchased this kickstand case on ebay and I am very happy with it. This case stands the Note up at good angles both vertically and horizontally and It is slim enough to fit comfortably in my frocket (what my son calls my front shirt pocket) but offers adequate protection and has a nice front lip. It also slides in and out easily because of the hard plastic covering. The unexpected advantage is that the kickstand also can act like a holder for the phone for one handed operation by opening the kickstand and holding the phone by putting your middle finger through the opening of the kickstand and its supporting bracket. I also think the style is very attractive compared to most phone cases of this type and cost.

After trying a few different cases, my wife and I are both using this one now. Mine is black, hers is purple. The purple (not to be confused with the pink) is a stunning, deep, rich color. The only thing I'm not crazy about is the lines on the back. I'd prefer something a little cleaner. I love the case, though. It offers excellent protection, it's easy to get on and off (important to me because I swap batteries instead of charging the phone), and the price is right.

a bit thick for my taste. I'm waiting for this to arrive.
I'm replacing the RED stand with WHITE.

Most are sold out, but I have an extra Red/Red stand case for $10.

The nice thing about this case is it stands the Note 2 up, steadily and at a good angle, in either portrait or landscape.

Cases with the antenna cutout on the upper right corner drive me batty. It exposes 1 of the 4 primary drop points.

I bought the purple case for my wife. Here are a few pics for those interested in a few more pictures of the case. I also have a few comparison shots with an EVO Shift that doesn't have a case as well so you can see how much thickness it adds. I like the case. It feels the same as the back of the Shift for the most part. Both the Shifts in the pictures also had the Seidio screen protectors installed which fit and feel great and have no adhesive. At $30 the case is a little spendy but it fits perfectly and doesn't feel like the top will pop off or anything. Was a good thing to spend some left over Christmas money on Sorry about the high ISO of the shots LOL, it is dark outside and I didn't want to use a flash and apparently the lighting wasn't the best.

That is exactly what I was thinking. Though I have fat hands and the case I got made it a little easier to hold on too.
Nice case looks better then my shield combo from sprint
I just got my case today, and the front plate seems to want to fall off when I use the slide. Maybe I need to break in the case a bit...but it seems like it just barely fits.
has any one found a good leather or hip case that will fit the phone in the shell

In my first update I detailed the same issue: Seidio Innocase Surface Review (quick/dirty)
Basically you're going to have to carefully pry on your case to make a gap to fit the plastic in.

I have the HTC leather hip case from Best Buy from a previous phone. The Shift+Innocase fits nicely inside.

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

I have a Samsung flip case which I love but the lack of drop protection is disconcerting. What would be awesome would be if someone made little clear gel "corner bumpers" that you could just fit over each corner and not all the way around the phone. They could be small and thin with a little stickiness on the inside to hold them on. It would be the ultimate "thin" case as it only protected the corners (the trouble spots).
Does such a thing exist?

or make your own and don't put any coloring in it. I think it will be as clear as silicone gel.

mine doesn't look perfect, but it's only as ghetto as your art skills. get someone else to do it for you. It's not just silicone so not sticky after it sets.
It's the best drop protection you'll get on anything thin. plastic just transfers energy to the screen, rubber on the sides just adds bulk and there doesn't need to be anything on the back in most cases.
In reality though, most cases look ghetto compared to the gorgeous phones we get new and then cover up. My brother's iPhone bumpers are 5th or 6th generation Sugru, so he's getting pretty good at shaping them and they are only raised about 1/16" on the ends but a bit more for the face.

Wouldn't those just fall off if you dropped it on one of those corners? What holds that stuff in place, can it be removed without damage to the device? Residue, adhesive?

i bought this case, it's great. very thin and fair amount of protection.
I just wanted to recommend a product I just received today. Go check out her etsy store. You can get handmade sleeves for just about any device and if your device isn't there, just let her know what you want and she'll make it for you. This sleeve is made with a durable dark denim material on the outside and a stylish, soft colored interior fabric. Well-made and incredibly cheap. I got mine for just $16 + $5.50 shipping. She is based in Latvia so it takes a week or two to get to you but it is well worth the wait. For those of you who are going naked (no case on the Nexus), I highly recommend this seller's product. Even her packaging is well thought out and well designed.

Anyway, there's the link. And no, I am in no way affiliated with this seller.

How tight is it? Could I fit my N7 inside my Poetic case?

Those look really nice, actually. Though I usually don't go for just cloth cases.

No, but you could measure how much extra thickness and width it adds to your tab and send her a custom request. I don't think it costs any extra.. but don't quote me on that. My naked Nexus 7 slides easily, just perfectly, into the sleeve. With my thin incipio hardshell case it was a bit difficult to slide it, though possible. It also has to do with the slightly rubberized texture of the incipio case though.
And yeah, the case is just cloth with some soft fluffy batting inside for some padding. It is actually surprisingly durable, though from a 5 foot fall straight onto the corner of the tab, I'm not sure how much protection it will offer. Though, the corners are probably the best padded part. For throwing in a book bag it's pretty perfect.
I just got a case/cover for my ZTC. As the title suggested, this is from INVENTCASE. Let's take a look at this.
I got mine from eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361112178753?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&var=630453642867&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
This is a synthetic leather, not a genuine (according to them). The material feels nice.

This thing came with a magnet so it is a smart cover.. in a way. It will turn the screen on once you flip it open.
You got a cut out for the speaker at the bottom.
and top.
Cut out for Power/Volume buttons.
and for USB port.
Stand position.
One BIG cons for this cover is that the fitting is kinda loose so the cut out hole for camera won't align.
You can push it a little to make them align but it will slide back to the original position.
This will cause vignetting when you use a camera.
If you adjust your tablet the vignette will reduce but not goes away. Hugh downside for me.
So.. what's your opinion? For me I like this one especially the color. The camera problem, however, keep me looking for another case. Until I found the perfect one for me, this will stay on my tablet.
Thank yo ufor the photos and review. I personally do not opt for any case with bezels around, THat's like 10 years old design...
Yep, I personally don't like that either but I used to use the cheapo case with the mounting like the official Sony cover and it scratch my iPad.
So when I browse for the cover with some new color (I don't like the sony cover color choices) on ebay there are only some Chinese cheapo. I try to stay away from that.

iPads are just very easy to scratch because of material used, while I don't beleive that the Z3TC can be scratched that easily. Moreover, good cases have the soft materials inside the case.
