[Q] Cant choose between two cases!!

So just got the nexus s 4g, wanna get a really really slim minimalist case almost a bumper type case, so I narrowed between two choices the Nexus S Ringke Case or the Incipio feather Ultralight Hard Shell Case. And i ddint seem to find any other good alternatives between those, any suggestions? I posted the link to both below.

Incipio Feather is less bulky and more slim than any silicon/TPU cases.

If your picky and takes care of your phone go with the feather by incipio. Tpu case if your more caresless and drops phones constantly

a review on the incipio site said the case needed to be trimmed to fit the 4g? I am also trying to decide on the incipio because its made for the nexus s and the NS4g is a bit thicker.

Incipio fits well on my NS4G, and since every case isn't exactly the same u might have to trim only little bit on top of power button cut out, more like scraping off some plastic, sharp knife will help. I strongly recommend that case, I love it.

ditto. my wife and i both have incipio feather case, i'm a phone in the pocket guy so need something light and thin that doesnt add bulk. only thing i wish it it covered top and bottom better, but no biggie. and my power button works fine, the cutout is not centered to it, i thought about trimming the top of the cutout like 1mm MAYBE, but not necessary. great case for the $, check deals on amazon.

i would go for the rearth ringke. Nice case and good deal on the bundle (w/2 audio plugs and screen protectors, even if they are a little small).

Man, im way to hard on my phones to use a sleek case. i tape two 4" pieces of foam top either side of mine

looking for a slim case with kickstand.

hey there guys I'm looking for a case for my samsung Verizon Galaxy Note 2. looking for one that fits the stock battery as well as one that fits the extended battery.trying to find with a kickstand is proving difficult.I don't want a folio or one that closes like a book I want that had the screen open all the time. also need it to be able to go in and out of my pocket easy without catching, smooth if you will but still has some grip. a tall order I know I've looked quite a bit any help is much appreciated.

The seidio surface looks like the thinnest case with a kickstand but I'm just judging by looking online.
You could look into the flygrip too. I have it and it's actually a lot thinner then I thought it would be. I love it, it makes one handed operation so much easier and it doubles as a kickstand you can use in portrait or landscape. Plus you can attach it to any case.

So far this is the thinnest case I've seen with a kick stand. A member posted this case on "Post a picture of your case along with your Note 2" thread. He said that he bought it from China. I've been looking for this case online but can't seem to find it anywhere.

that looks pretty good I'll go check into that one thanks

Siedo surface ive owned mine for 3 months no scratches on it and holds up so well worth every penny

+1 for the Seidio surface case. Good protection, hardly adds any bulk at all, and it does have a kickstand. I usually use the active cases on my phones, but the note 2 being as big as it is, I didn't want to add that much bulk. So far very happy with the surface case. (And I've dropped it a few times, holds up very well.)

Another vote for the surface. I love the look and feel of mine. The only thing to note is that it may push up your screen protector if you have one. I had to trim mine with an exacto knife before I applied it once the surface was on. Now I'm looking at the vitreo as a new surface protector as that'll fit with the surface as is.

I ordered this case. Will let you know how it is.

I am using this case now. It is good, but too slippery and the kickstand is wearing quickly (starting to fall out of the case occasionally). But not too bulky, and decent protection..

I have that exact case too. After a while the kickstand did start to fall out of the case but i found out it was because the tiny (and I mean tiny) bump that they consider a latch had broken off. So I just dabbed a little super glue and it fits just fine.
It does get a little slippery at times, but I like that the kickstand is pretty sturdy on portrait mode. You don't often see a kickstand that is sturdy and doesn't topple the phone when you press on it.

Agreed. Before getting the ZL battery, I tried a couple of kickstand cases and the thinner cases have thin kickstands.

I purchased the Seidio case with the kickstand. I've used their cases for quite some time simply because they have such a low profile and it's easy to remove the battery. My wife has the Otterbox on her Note II, but only because she doesn't know how to hold on to her device and has already shattered one Note II. The protection you get from the Otterbox is nice, but I really prefer the smaller footprint of the Seidio. Also, the kickstand works terrific.

I have the Sedio Surface case and I liked the kickstand on that a lot, but I did have one gripe. After having to take out my battery a few times I noticed the case didn't stay together very well. Sometimes the case would actually come apart in my pocket when I went to grab it from my pocket. I did find sticking some thin paper between the case and the phone helped with it coming apart often though. If you don't find yourself taking off your case a lot it might be a good case.

Case - Tough + Wallet???

I really really want a case that will double as a wallet, while offering increased protection. I've killed two phones from breaking the screen and I want to keep my new note 2 pretty.
Does anyone know any cases which will hold credit cards + drivers, and also give increased protection for the phone? Most of the wallet cases I've seen don't do a hell of a lot against droppage.

I apologize, I don't know what my case is called. However I bought it from Harvey Norman, it is leather full cover case and is held together by a elastic band & magnet. I can hold my CC and ID in it, pretty good case but will set you back 90 AUD

My current case is like this, so it gives some protection, but not a lot.
Does your one seem more protective than that?

I have learned the hard way to go for maximum protection first, then add what else you need. The best protective case for the Note 2 is the UAG. I use the Black version called Scout. http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/galaxy-note-ii/products/black-note-ii-case The only ting missing for me was a way to "clip it" on my belt. I tried several different clips from other vendors, and ended up breaking the belt clip off the holster. (I even tried the CONVERT® Holster, same problem).. For me , the best solution, ended up getting an inexpensive leather case (2 models, Horizontal & Vertical) with a built-in metal belt clip. These models fit the Note 2 while in the UAG case.

Yes, less bulky, looks special (different from cheap knock offs), and better protection for the corners.

Yeah I might have to give up for the combo - it's crazy. All I ever have wanted since smartphones became a thing was a protective wallet case so I wouldn't have to keep track of different things - I can't believe the market for this is so slim.

Zenus makes a durable wallet case. I've dropped my phone numerous times and nary a scratch. I used them on my note 1 also and never had any problems.

Currently I'm using this one.
http://izenus.com/galaxy-note-2-minimal-diary-collection.html
It is extremely rigid on the back and corners with thick protruding bumpers and as long as the flap is closed upon impact it offers great protection from drops. High quality leather and molded plastic. Some people complain about the snap cover but I actually use it as a sort of makeshift fly grip, using it to open and close the cover with one hand. All the cutouts are perfect as well. You can go the cover + pouch as others suggested and may get a little extra protection, but for my money I prefer the fact that I no longer need to carry a wallet.

Searching for case like Diztronic TPU but with better grip

Hi there,
I have the Diztronic case and I'm very happy with the overall fit.
However, I'm searching for a case with better grip on the sides.
Any suggestions?
Thank you

Is it slippery on the sides or something? I cant imagine it being more slippery then when the phone is naked. Every time I handle my device I feel like its going to slip and fall as I dont have a case yet.

I don't find it slippery, it's the same hard rubber that Otterbox uses on the defender.

No, its flexible, and barely bigger than the phone itself, it's just not a gel type TPU case, its my first Diztronic so I can't speak to the others. It barely adds any size to the phone, and the case is flexible, but hard rubber.

I'm used to diztronic's gel-like tpu cases I guess, but as long as this case barely adds size I'm all in for the protection. I should be receiving mines tomorrow hopefully
What about mic holes, does the case have openings for mics?

Mine is from T-Mobile so there is no mic on the back. There is no hole for that. For my phone it has every cutout.
---------- Post added at 06:30 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:21 PM ----------
I'd like to add that it does not play well with my screen protector, it pushes up the bottom left corner of it a bit. I'm willing to deal with it because it really adds almost no size to the phone and I feel like its decent protection as well.

Update - got my Brig and i'm really liking it. The sides are a matte (as opposed to gloss), so it does feel a little more grippy than what I have seen from Diztronic in the past. Plus the checkerboard on the back gives it extra tactile grippiness as well. Very happy with my purchase so far.

A couple of Horizontal holster case that fits G2+ slim case

Anyone know of a good horizontal holster case that will also fit a g2 + one of those slim cases like the Insidio feather cases?

I nee to know this too!

so far I found this pricey leather case that fits an S4 with a hard cover. Would probably fit the G2 with a hard case but it's very pricey.

Check out my post. There is a link to eBay. If you look at the pouches he offers. Just about any thing that fits a note 2/3 without a case will fit the G2 with a case I ordered 3 of them. All different. But they work with a ballistic gel case. Which is quite thick. Good luck.

So far the poetic slim hard case is great. Nice feel. Someone thought the case was part of the phone because it was slim and look natural. The case + g2 fit perfectly inside the reiko case. It's not snug and has room to breath and so makes it easy to remove the phone with the case. You could prob add a gel protector and it still fits in the case. Case was made for s3/s4. Best part of the case: the lid magnet is strong enough that the phone will not just fall out if it falls. Love the strong closure. Still waiting on the next "easy to remove" case to arrive.

So I got the second case and I love it better than the first. When I first saw it, I thought it was a weird design to have a middle just missing from the case. But when I got the case I thought it was the perfect design. No more having to push my phone up from the bottom and grabbing a piece of it to pull it out (with the idea that I might drop it one day). With this case, I just get a good grip on the phone and just pull the phone right out. Look at the third picture and you'll see what I mean. The case is built very well and rigid. I have the Poetic Palette slim case that points outwards so my phone is protected on the small piece that is exposed. The magnetic lid is strong enough that a good shake doesn't make the phone fall out. The g2 + slim case fit perfectly in this case. The amount of space available is just right to the point that the phone can freely come out the case when you pull up; now snugness, just the right amount of space. I don't know if a gel tpu case would fit with this case if used with the g2.
This horizontal pouch is my #1 for this phone; the other pouch is a back-up now. Maybe I'll get a gel tpu case to complement the 2nd case and use it when I need extra protection like when hiking or something.
Just my observation, I think any case that fits the Note 2/3 would be a just a little big for this phone. I think cases that fit the S4 would work with this phone.
