Best buy Pt case reveiw. - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Today I got the Pt casebfrom best buy. I paid $34 for it. I got mine in black. The fit and finish is very good. It has a kick stand and a nice sturdy belt holster. This case appeaes to be modeled after (or the same just re branded) sedio surface case. The case fits on the phone very nice and looks good. It comes in blue or black. It has a smooth feel to it but is less slipery than the naked note. It has the perfect amount of room under the top lip as to not interfer with a screen protector (I have my zagg invisisheild) now to the pros and cons
Pros:
Reasonable price
Good fit and finish
Kick stand
Wont interfer with screen protectors
Nice holster
Doesnt add much bulk
Precise cut outs.
Cons:
Nearly IMPOSSIBLE to get of the first few times
Can get slightly slipery if it gets moist
If you put a finger under the phone by the changing port, the cut out is a tad sharp (fixed by just using some fine grit sandpaper)

Had it, the seidio one. It would have been the best case if it came without the stand. The bump in the back gets annoying.
Oh and its been talked about for months already, there are a lot of old threads about this actually.

I bought this for my partner for xmas, as I loved the pt I had for my inspire 4g. He loved it, but within a month the clasps weren't holding and it would slide apart. He hadn't taken it off since putting it on, nor is he prone to dropping or flinging it on hard surfaces.
Ymmv, but such was our experience.

You might want to take it back or get a warranty exchange. I have a hard time getting mine off. Also I have had mine for over two months and no issues.

Trident or Balistic?

ok i found these on amazon just cant decide which one to get.

Ballistic is a really good case! Love mine!
+1 ballistic rules
Hi,
if your scenario is: working in wet and dusty place, I think TRIDENT is better.
Because the only thing in contact with dust or water is the screen. The rest of the phone is safe!!!
Ballistic. Bought one a couple of months ago and love it. It offers great protection also.
I've been using the trident case for a while and love it...I wrote a post that was a quasi review a while back...using xda mobile app right now, can't find it. It's a great case though...I've shut my trunk on it, routinely toss my phone a few feet to people cause I'm too lazy to get up without concern. also the customer service is great. My toddler soon ripped off the headphone port cover, and they immediately sent me a replacement for the silicon part of the case.
my experience with this case has probably made me a trident lifer. Totally worth the cost.

+1 for Trident! Had mine for a good 4-6 months and works beautifully!
Thanks
thank you for your replies I think I will go with the Trident case.
Well in my case, and because I need to change battery every 5/6 hours, I don´t like the idea of taking out the protection case and the the lid...
naked. why ruin its form for protection? not worth it to me

Casemate pop w/ kickstand

I posted a few pics of this case in some other threads but after a few days with the case i feel its needs its own thread. This case is an awesome case. I purchased it for $40 at an at&t store and replaced my sprint bodyglove with it. The cas3 feels better in my hand then the bodyglove. It definitely feels like it would protect better if i drop it. It fits very good nice and tight. It has a really nice gloss finish and the kickstand really comes in handy when my sons watching movies. I was gona get the otterbox commuter but im liking this case so much i think this ones a keeper. I highly reccomend this case

Thanks for the quick review! I was hoping to get this case as well. I had it for my Galaxy S2 way back when (I won it online, hehe) and absolutely fell in love with it.
I don't understand why Case Mate says they weren't going to make this case, and it's already for sale, just not on their website. Exclusivity? I don't know... Lame!
I hope speck comes out with the Pixel HD case, I loved it
I bought this case today at att. I also just got my phone today.
So odd, after putting the case on my phone acts weird now. It powers off randomly and shuts off when I unplug it from a charge (occasionally)

Hmmm so far i havent had any issues. Also i had this case for my s3 bc like now it was the only good case that seem to be instock when the phone 1st came out and also just like now i had to buy it from an at&t store. But once the s3 was out for about a month as we all know every company was pumping out cases and i was switching cases every week. Ended up with an atomic green commuter but was about to go back to the casemate then i sold my s3. Its an awesome case

Have been using the very same case for almost two weeks now, and so far it's been the best case for me. I gave away the seidio surface to the at&t store, and a couple of eBay cases, since this pop will be a daily driver for the near future. If only they made the same in black, I'd switch...

I like the Pop Case as well. I had it for the GS2, GS3 and now the Note 2. It's very solid for protection and there is enough edge covered to protect the phone when it is turned face down. My favorite things about the case is the grip. It's enough to securely hold the phone and not too much that you have to battle to take it out of your pocket. The power and volume buttons are covered just right as far as no accidental presses while still being easy to press.
I don't use the kickstand too much but it could be made more solid as the hinge feels very fragile. It does work however in both portrait or landscape placement.

It's also worth mentioning that, unlike most cases like it (at least the ones I've seen), the rubber edge sits perfectly around the edge and does not touch the glass. And it is completely solid and does not move at all, so there is no accidentally slipping it off and loosing protection.

Best rugged case for note 2

Looking for opinions on most protective case. Defender seems like the best but the screen protector....and hearing about dust getting in between it and the screen is a little disconcerning. I used a seidio active case on my thunderbolt and loved it, dropped on concrete several times and faired very well. But after recently breaking few months ago and seidio not wanting to replace it like they used to...kind of left a bad taste in my mouth and I dont know if I want to go back to them. That's what she said. Please let me know your opinion. Thanks!
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Although I don't have the note2. I have an s3 and I have the otter box defender. I couldn't get the oil slick look to go away so I just took the built in screen protector out. It just pops right out. I have my full screen protector on there anyway to its still fully protected.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium
Ya that's what im thinking. Just thinking... should I buy it then immediately break the case by ripping out the built in protector. It just feels weird to break something so expensive on purpose lol. Then, does the adhesive that was holding it on cause an issue or removing the protector cause the case rigidinity to be compromised?
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
If you can wait 3-4 weeks the uag http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/products/black-note-ii-case
But if you need it now then go for the otter defender or commuter.
Also, if removing screen protector from defender is there still benefit(s) to using that case versus an otterbox commuter? Being that there is an included screen protector versus built in already.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Rigidity shouldn't be compromised, and from what I read people use hair dryer to heat up the edge of the screen for a glue to soften, thus doing a clean removal of the screen. Glue supposed to roll off easily when its hot.. But you have to keep in mind, Otterbox gives you 1yr warranty if something happens to the case. If something breaks or gets damaged and you need to replace it, they will ask your original case back (I called them up to verify it) and even if you going to glue the screen back - there is a chance they will see it and might use it against you. I personally didn't want to take my chance, so I'm returning my Defender back.
Ya I was worried about breaking/enhancing this case for this reason. What did you end up going with?

Yes I have been watching this closely. Wasnt sure about how tough this case was. Looked more about design from what I could see, but I could be very wrong. I actually voted so they would make that case lol. But....not sure whats up with the holes on the back.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I have two cases for my Note 2: a Seidio Active case, and, as of this morning, an Otterbox Defender. Both have their pros and cons. The Seidio is more comfortable in the hand, and quite a bit slimmer, but the soft rubber inner case peels away from the phone too easily and all sorts of nasty scratchy stuff can get underneath it. It also has a handy little kickstand. The Defender is bloody huge, and for me at least, not as comfortable to hold. But it really does feel bombproof. The inbuilt screen protector isn't wonderful, but it works ok. Just needs an oleophobic coating.
As for which is best, I guess it depends how much you think you're going to throw your phone around

Throw? Never, unless onto the bed across the room. Its more of, late night out drinking and drop it from like 5 feet high on to concrete... that kind of scenario. Siedio for tbolt held up well for that did break the case eventually but phone still doesnt have a scratch. But yes, thank you for mentioning comfort, because if it never slips out of your hand... you never drop it. Looking for something grippy if possible, but that is second on my list to overall protection of course.

They are both grippy. The Defender is just a bit too big to hold comfortably. I guess that's the joy of better protection. Ironically, the Defender is possibly more likely to be dropped, not because it slips from your hand, but because it's likely to snag when you try to take it out of your pocket.
I'm going to stick to the Defender for now, although I will remove the screen protector. I use Liquid Armour on the screen and this pretty much negates the need for a plastic cover on the screen.

Whag was your reasoning for choosing the defender over the commuter? I hear it doesnt snag on pockets and has a regular screen protector. I ask because this case is my backup for the time being

I had a commuter on my iphone, and it was dreadful. It didn't fit well, and really didn't feel like it would provide any degree of protection at all. And protection was rather important with all that glass! Binned it after a few days and ended up with a Taktik case (kickstarter thing). But I digress.
Apart from my iphone experience, I would say the Seidio case is better than the Commuter. It will give as much protection, and look and fit better.

Otteebox. Is the way to go. Have dropped my phone plenty of times. Glad I have this case way stronger than UAG. Uag does look nicer but I prefer having my phone WEELLLLL protected im sure u do to. Don't just wanr a case because it looks good. Want a case that will protect your phone from a fall.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
I have both the commuter and defender cases from Otterbox. Both offer solid protection the defender I like more because of the built in screen protector. Keep in mind that the UAG cases don't offer port covers for the headphone jack and USB port which was a selling point for myself. Another key selling point was the customer service. Can't say anything though about UAG because I haven't bought their case nor dealt with their customer service. When I contacted Otterbox about an issue regarding the commuter cases they sent me a free warranty replacement as well as the defender case free of charge.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Do your homework before you buy. Customer support is important, and a big company like Otterbox has a great one based on the fact they are in every service provider store as well as every Best Buy. But the truth of the matter - they rushed with Note 2 design and FAILED to deliver with Defender. And because they are king-of-the-hill-Otterbox, they didn't even want to admit how poorly they executed design of that screen protector. Read hundreds of posts in XDA or AF, and read all Amazon review comments. EVERYBODY complains about screen protector not being flush with a Note 2 screen, thus being concaved up and leaving a gap in between making it feel like you are using $50 resistive touch screen device. Yes, I bought one from Verizon store, couldn't believe my eyes, called Otterbox and they pretended on the phone like have no idea what I'm talking about, sent me an email with case# to reply back with "pictures" so they can send me a replacement. I went back to Verizon store, and went through every Defender they had in stock - all the same problem with a screen protector. Turned on-line to read everybody having this problem and simply just popping out the plastic screen as soon as they buy it. Why would I want to buy $60 (MSRP price) case to destroy it in order to make it work for me? Furthermore, because of that concave up screen, it creates a suction effect through cutout holes in that screen protector, sucking in more dust that will require you taking case apart periodically to clean it up. Do you think those inner plastic case latches will last that long, with constant taking apart? Oh, and that plastic screen protector was awful with s-pen - leaving marks all over the place. And if you remove plastic screen protector - your inner plastic case fitting is not rigid anymore (read about people suggesting to put a tape inside). Port cover-plugs are great in dust environment, but when you are using your phone as GPS in the car and need it to be plugged in - it will become a huge nuisance, not to mention pressure that micro-usb port cover puts on the connector, in both Defender and Commuter. And with Commuter, I personally found back of the case to be slippery and no grip with a surface when you place it on the smooth table top.
If you read testimonials of people who own UAG and dropped their case numerous times, they walk away without a scratch. UAG design is rugged tough and you get a convenience of a molded single piece case where you don't have to take layers off to get to your battery. If you need a super-duper drop protection case, go with CONVERT which offer multiple layers of protection, all the port coverage INCLUDING camera, has a great kickstand, can be stripped down to SURFACE if you don't need all this extra rugged coverage, and has one of the BEST holsters with a locking spring-loaded latch. Just need to invest in a good regular screen protector, like iSmooth which I also highly recommend (3H hardness, easy install with no bubbles, perfect edge adhesion).
Now, don't get me wrong, I'm not knocking Otterbox down. Its a great company with a great reputation and TONS of sales. That's how they can afford to have such a great support staff and offer warranty replacement and freebies without breaking their bank. They obviously built their reputation of a quality product delivered for all these other phone models, and have a decent iPhone base support. BUT, with Note 2 they rushed to deliver it to the market, and totally ignored all the negative comments. And this is not just my humble opinion. It's everywhere you read about their Note 2 cases. I tried Commuter a couple of times in Sprint store, and walked away. Bought Defender from Verizon store, exchanged it, and then returned a few days later...
three excellent cases for the delightfully successful Galaxy S2 that will keep your precious safe and sound. Whichever you pick – the dual-layer Case-Mate Tough, the feature-filled Otterbox Commuter or the stylish SGP Ultra Capsule – you can be sure that your smartphone is secure.

How is your G2 holding up without a case?

Thinking about going naked. Haven't found a case that keeps it slim. All cases I've tried add too much bulk.
Mine fell out of my shirt pocket on Christmas day and cracked the screen. It was $125 for a new one overnighted from CA. I had ordered a case but it hadn't arrived yet. The screen didn't come with the middle housing so you can see where it hit the ground on the plastic. I'll worry about that when its time to get rid of the phone.

I'm keeping screen naked. Definitely not case. Rather have a tiny bulk than 3 foot drop shatter/crack. Slim/feather doesn't even protect much. I wound up sticking with Verizon TPU/OG Incepio. Better for me my phone travels through some rough times, personal and work lol.
No way, if i didnt had a case mine would be dead right now. It felt From my ear/shoulder position when i was talking and opening my car.

This phone is too slippery without a case I'm not taking any chances with it. I have the Spigen Slim armor case with Zagg HD screen protector and it looks beautiful and feels great. I ran my G Pro naked but at least that phone was easier to grip since it was larger. To those running no screen protection good luck. It's only a matter of time before it's scratched and scuffed and ugly. The glass screen protector on my G Pro was scratched to hell after just a few weeks in my pocket and I don't stuff anything in the same pocket as my phone except for maybe paper cash or receipts. I babied that phone. My keys never shared the same pocket. I've never seen any screen stand up to regular use after a while without any sort of protection.
I'm using an xtremeguard skin and screen protector. That helps with the slippery back. Not that helpful with actual impacts, but fine for scratches and things.
Side note: use code: 90off2 for 90% off 2 or more items right now (unknown expiration). Two sets of L2 G2 skins and screen protectors comes out to $2.20 after shipping right now.
One month in naked screen. I try and be careful. Not saying it won't happen, but so far so good. I have yet to find olive I like and won't lift with TPU or bubble at edge. :/
I ordered a wallet case for my G2, but have been rocking he naked look for a month now. No complaints here, but there are moments when I need a case (at the club)

Had any incidents yet?
Incipio Brig.
Not much added bulk and the grip is the best.
Best case I've ever used for any phone.
LG G2
I got on off those poetic slim cases along with a reiko horizontal case. The slim case has a nice touch that doesn't make it slippery.

Screen seems very weak on this phone already scratched 2 of them. On my third already. No idea how first happened, had the window case on and got one dead center of the screen. Next one was from just flipping the phone over to snooze alarm on my nightstand. Keep trying screen protectors but hate the feel of them and like how this phone feels naked. Prolly gonna have to force myself to keep a screen protector on at least this time and prolly the case.

Using a Fosmon I got off ebay for 3.95. I hated the way this phone felt without a case.
I'm using the Nillkin Dolextech, and while it does not add much bulk, it will protect it from scratches and dents if it lands on a corner or back.
It also has a Nexus 5'ish feel, with a pattern on the back for better grip. It also comes with a screen protector, which while not being the best quality, is fine for protection against scratches.

Im an otterbox dealer, so I basically had a Defender on this thing from day 1.
Id never run a phone without one.

Dropped the phone once without the but no damage. I usually make sure I have a sturdy grip on the phone. Also I don't let my phone go without knowing for sure I'm actually putting it in my pocket.... Lol.
The case looks nice. But still rocking the naked look.

Ahh I know that feeling. You think you've put it in but nop, gravity hates us all.
Had the phone for well over a month now. No case or screen protector. Phone lives in my pocket whilst I'm at work (I work with fibreglass, resins, cardboard packing and general lifting), comes to the pub, friend's houses for drinks and shenanigans. So far so good. Still looks new.
