Slim case that actually stays on the phone? - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Question about those with slim cases. I have noticed that most of the slim cases are not snug at all four corners. I have two right now, the ringke slim and the elago slim, and both have issues that prevent me from using them.
The elago case doesn't fit snugly at the bottom right or left corner. It is very easy to press it off of the phone. The ringke doesn't fit well at all and when I pick the phone up the sides flex in and creak. That drives me nuts.
I'm looking for a slim hard case that actually fits well. It doesn't have to be paper thin, but I want it to actually fit snugly and almost be a challenge to remove. I am sort of anal about my cases and these kind of fitment issues drive me nuts.

Case-mate Tough (REVIEW) and Case-mate Pop! (REVIEW) will fit that category. Tough is ridiculously slim yet made of two layers, while Pop! is a molded two layers and to hard to remove that you need to push on the camera. Based on your description - those are definitely two cases!

I have the Speck Candyshell and I'm mostly satisfied with it (still searching for the right case). It's 1 piece, hard plastic along all edges, covers all 4 corners, and fits snug. It is slim given the 2 layer protection (plastic and silicone). Two things make me unhappy with it: 1) it has no grip and very slippery; 2) the black plastic shows every scratch (its also available in pink, which probably hides scratches better).
I may try the case below since it's similar to the Candyshell.

Thanks for the suggestions. So far I haven't been able to find one I really like. It seems like most companies are trying to go so thin that they aren't making a case that fits well.

Spigen SGP slim case. It fits very tightly (no moving or creaking), covers most of corner areas and comes with a great Spigen screen protector. Only $20.

Thanks, I just ordered the Spigen. I will see how it feels. I couldn't stand the elago, the corners would almost slide off with no effort. I'm used to a very strong click when a case pops into place, and that case not moving unless I basically pry it off.

I use a Mercury pink case I got from Amazon, which is slim and snug. The right corner is exposed, but it doesn't interfere with the phone staying in place at all. There's different colors sold separately or two sold together.

Get this case! Fits slim and great, great feel and decent protection. Very slim and pretty good grip. I have gotten 4 cases and this one easily wins hands down. $20 may seem a bit steep, but it is well built and you won't regret it!
I do not have 10 posts yet, so may not post an outside link... But it is the samsung protective bumper cover case plus for note 2... Look it up on amazon

I own several cases now, but sometimes cheap and simple ends up beating the rest. The one I use more often is still the X-Line TPU. It is ridiculously cheap but a very tight fit and with a very good texture that really gives extra grip. It also looks pretty good, which is surprising for cheap TPUs. I strongly recommend it.
4.4/5 at nearly 60 amazon reviews.

This is a good, snug, and fairly slim TPU case that I got after trying and returning the Ringke and others: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WDWBH6/ref=oh_details_o09_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It comes in several colors also.

I picked up that case last week, and have been using it ever since. It's very snug on the phone, but still easy to get on or off as needed. The holes line up perfectly, it's very comfortable to hold, plenty grippy, and looks much nicer than the $3 price tag. Back is a bit of a fingerprint magnet, but not a terrible lint collector. Doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all.

I have one of those ultra thin 0.5mm cases that's almost not like having a case at all. I don't ever drop my phone, but prefer to run one of these cases to prevent scratches on the phone. Best of all, it's under $2 shipped, and doesn't have any open edges, which makes it stay on the phone very well.
I can't post links due to post count, but just search on ebay for, "Black Ultra Thin Semi Clear Plastic Cover Case Samsung Galaxy Note 2"

I use the elago G6 slim case and I absolutely love it.
I've never had a problem with it popping off and I'm not overly gentle with it. Everyone uses their phone differently and it obviously didn't work for the OP, but I just wanted to stick up for it a little bit.

[Q] Thinnest Case?

Hi,
I am looking for a case that adds minimal bulk to the device. I would prefer something with a soft-touch finish, but not necessarily silicone.
So far, I have looked at the Seidio Surface, the SGP Ultra Silke, and the Rearth Ringke.
Does anyone know from experience which of these cases is thinnest?
Also, has anyone found other cases that will retain the slimness of the phone?
Thanks.
I dont know from experience but from reading these forums the incipio feather case maybe be the slimmest. Its hard case that snaps on but doesnt cover the top or bottom of the phone. I do got the Rearth Ringke which is awesome. The fit is great.

Thanks for the reply. Is the Rearth Ringke relatively slim as well?
Also interested in a slim case.
Its really not that bad. The fit is great and the texture it has is a nice touch. It has enough grip to keep it from slipping but slippery enough to keep lent and fingerprints off.

Does anyone else have any suggestions for slim cases?
you could get these if you would consider a skin http://www.adreama.com/products/mobile-phone-skins/samsung/nexus-s
they're pretty damn thin, give good grip, protects the outside of your phone from scratches, and you get two so you can pick which color you prefer
I wish case mate would make a barely there case. There seems to be a huge demand for it.
incipio case quite slim, soft, and sexy.. the only drawback is it's quite fragile. my friend bought it awhile ago, he had SOD (sleep of death) many times using netarchy kernel and he had to remove the case to remove the battery. after a few remove, the case start to get loose and finally the case gave up and broke..

This seems interesting. I have found several cases identical to this on eBay for as little as $3 (like this andthis).
The material seems different than other TPU cases, and is just what I am looking for. Anyone else have a case similar to this (TPU, but with matte-finish rubberized rear)?

that second one looks just like the black one that you get in the two pack I posted. I actually think that the black one looks really bad with a black phone, but that's just my opinion.
I have the incipio feather case (black) and love it. Soft touch, great grip, and best of all no fingerprints. Not a tacky rubberized feel that sticks to everything (lint, hair). There is a little space at the top and bottom that isn't covered (bottom for port access) but it looks great. very slim. I bought the standard black case that best but had available on launch day and the crappy rubbery screen protector. Couldn't stand either one and dug out my g1 sleeve cover.
Bought the incipio because I hate the slick back of the phone. Been using it ever since.
I would disagree that it is fragile. I take it off and put it back on at least once a week and haven't had any loosening or breakage (after several months of use). Thing is still rock solid and fits perfectly snug.
hopefully this is helpful.
edit: although it is very thin and adds very little bulk, it is noticeable. With the case on, my phone no longer fits in my g1 sleeve and this makes me kind-of a sad panda.

How is your overall experience with the two-pack case that you posted? Does it add too much bulk to the device, or attract dust/lint?

Thanks so much for the detailed review. I appreciate the input.
The Feather seems to be a promising alternative to the other cases, mainly because I love the soft touch finish.

I actually think that the phone fits better in my hand with the case on. i'm not worried that i'm going to snap it in half on accident and it's only the tiniest bit bulkier than it normally would be.
I seem to notice little hairs and stuff accumulating right where the case stops, but it's easy enough to either wipe them off without removing the case or to just pull the case off and clean around the edges. overall, I think it's a great case. I added some before and after pictures so you could see how little bulk there is.
I also have the Incipio Feather Case and agree with discussion above. Actually have 2 for 2 phones.
Black is matte finish. Teal is not, but its not a hard, shiny plastic feel. I really like it, questioned buying but so tired of black (their other colors are
very bright, way too much for a mother of 3).
I was looking for the thinnest case possible and feel this is it.
The top and bottom is open so won't protect there, but has the corners.
The thing I love the most is the grip, felt the phone was too slick and just
waiting to drop. This solved that. I do not feel it is fragile, don't take off
that much, but have no problems using fingernail. It is tight, but that is good.
Would highly recommend. And if shopping on Ebay, there are some for $20
shipped. It states Nexus S (not specific for 4g, even on the box when you
receive it), but if it is Incipio, not knock off, it works.
sgp case is very good

Video Review: Tridea Italian Leather Flip Folio

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on another case for the Note II, this time it is the Tridea Italian leather flip case. It is reminiscent of the SGP Valentinus case, although it is much more affordable and not as bulky. It's a folio style case, so it features a front flap to keep your display protected. Unfortunately there is nothing to hold it in place, so it tends to flap around. The ports and cutouts are spot on, however.
Check out the full video review below;
great review
Cheers! Happy to help
do you reccomend this case mate? i would like one with the flip cover to protect the screen, but would also like a case tough enough to protect my phone in case of drops or bumps. it looks like flip covers are all "light" protective, while tough cases are way too bulky or do not provide any protection to the screen (no plastic film protectors for me! i hate them!). thank you a lot!!!
The flap actually isn't a big deal. I've been using a similar case for a week now and unless you have a giant pocket the flap stays shut.
I actually prefer not to have a magnetic or grommet styled securing device.
And let's face it. as for drop protection, these type of cases just don't compare to the UAG or Otterbox cases.

So basically you say that this case goes for style and look and moderate protection, while the others go for enhanced protection, right? Just as I thought... Does it exist a tough case as uag but with a flap or such to cover the screen? I am afraid because of 4 hours of commuting a day... A little bump or sudden train braking may make me drop my phone.. And I wouldn't trust only a plastic film to protect the screen. Holsters like otterbox defender one, on the other hand, are uncomfortable to use while in the crowd and one handed..
Thank you for your suggestion, this case looks superb, but maybe it's not the right thing for me...

I keep hoping for someone to make a UAG with a flip cover.

I just returned the case to Amazon for 2 reasons.
1- The flap was warped - and did not cover the screen right.
2- There is virtually no top or bottom protection - the device is held only on the sides - the top and bottom are naked.
On the plus side - I have'nt seen a product with this good quality - in a long time. It is a really well made case - just not tough and protective enough for my taste.
Im using this one for few months and I like it.

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.

I have the case from the first link you posted. I've had no problems whatsoever thus far. The belt clip is really secure and the silicon not only covers the phone but it serves as a border around the screen so if you drop it the screen won't even touch the floor really. The case is decent too. Definitely worth $13.
about how thick is the case?

It's not bulky. You can trust the reviews on amazon for the case. It's worth it especially for the price.
I have the otterbox defender series. Due to the design of the case, There's a bubble in the screen protector. I simply poped it out and replaced it with a zagg screen protector. Search ebay, I only spent $30. Still waterproof and my 3 kids literally throw my phone across the room and it's still in brand new condition

I almost went with the iBlason, but ended up going to Unicorn Beetle route. It's a nice case and I really like it. It's a tough TPU throughout with a polycarbonate slab on the back. Looks pretty nice and feels good in the hand--quality materials. The only thing is you have to shave the little inner button nubs off with a razor blade as the Amazon reviews mention.
Good luck deciding.

I own both, as well as just about every other case made for our phone...
I hate the i-Blason, and have since I took it out of the package. Nothing really wrong with it, just not my taste. Inner portion is too mushy, hard to slip it in and out of my pocket, and I don't think anyone would call it "thin".
For "thin and rugged" you are far better off with the SUPCASE. Also look at the TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody.

M8 Clear Cases to Showcase

Hey everyone, so I know there's a few thread about cases which I've read through. But what I'm looking for is any info on good quality clear cases.
The main factor I like is the appearance. It's just about time a company really put an effort into the looks as well as the performance of a current Gen smartphone.
So my question is what clear cases are out there that some of you possibly already have or have seen online? I've scoured amazon and other sites and found some good ones, but still haven't found the "one".
Currently I own the otterbox commuter (too big, covers whole phone), the supcase hybrid with clear back which is what I currently have on. And I placed an order yesterday for the exact prism case with the clear back. Though I now realize the prism and supcase are probably the same exact case....
My issue with the supcase hybrid clear back is the scratches that accumulate so easily on the back. Most of the cases out there are simply cheap. Some are very good for the money but I'm looking for long lasting durable quality.
I have an eye on the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid as well but my turn off is the back being frosted to the point that you can't see the detail or shine of the m8. At least that's what I've seen in pictures.
I'll use an all clear or some kind of hybrid bumper clear back case. I also saw the griffin reveal case, but I can't find any good pics. And from the description it looks like it's the same material as the supcase bumper hybrid. I was hoping the griffins clear back would be a solid hard scratch resistant material.
I've also seen the case mate barely there and some others. So if any of you have any other clear or partly clear cases please post some feedback on how you like them and pics would be great too!

Yes it is.
Just a word of caution with clear cases, they have a tendency to collect lint and crap which is easily noticeable. I had the cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case clear and ended up selling it to a buddy. The pocket lint and crap collects under it and bugged the crap out of me. I cancelled my clear UAG order and changed it to black in fear of the same problem.
Now this might not bother some, but bothered me enough to share.
I have the Spigen® [STRONG-FLEX] Capsule Clear Ultra Fit (TPU), it's pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tiveASIN=B00IF5B218&linkCode=shr&tag=cshus-20
Makes me feel like I can toss my phone on the table or something and it will be OK. Doesn't seem to scratch or yellow. Makes handling the phone more fun since I don't have to be so delicate and it seems durable while showing off the nice aluminum case.

I also have this case. Some people have said the edges look yellow. Um no. If the lighting in the room has some yellow in it then it will look like that on the thick sides. This is a very nice case with covered buttons for volume and power. And exact cut outs for everything including back mic, flash and camera lenses. Vs flash and one of the camera lenses being one cut out for both.

I too have the case but pictures using flash don't look right. Almost like the case diffuses the flash light so it's not direct out as well at the object you are photographing. I also have a qi receiver under my case in order to have wireless charging so now I have a black tpu case coming today to hide the qi receiver.

I think you you kind of right because part of the case is transparent.

I have the Spigen® [STRONG-FLEX] Capsule Clear Ultra Fit (TPU), it's pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tiveASIN=B00IF5B218&linkCode=shr&tag=cshus-20
Makes me feel like I can toss my phone on the table or something and it will be OK. Doesn't seem to scratch or yellow. Makes handling the phone more fun since I don't have to be so delicate and it seems durable while showing off the nice aluminum case.

I have this case as well. I like how the power and volume buttons are covered. I can see where some say the case looks yellow, but you really have to take a close look to even notice.
All in all I am happy with the case. My one complaint is a sharp line that extents all around the back of the phone. I think it would have been better to have made this smooth as it would be more comfortable in hand.
Dropped my phone on the bleachers at the game, found my volume up button dented in, non-functional.
Pried it out, unbent it a bit and got it back in, works.
Bummed the case let that happen though. And agree about the sharp edge.
I've been using the Exact Prism Series Slim-Fit Transparent Case for HTC One M8 Clear/Black, and have been very happy with it: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JAR24SU

Unfortunately, my clear spigen case has a slight yellowing to it. This was present in purchase, so beware. Otherwise, it is a very good protector that allows the m8's looks to shine.

Great thread!
I also want a case that can still show the great design this phone has, while providing some protection, and I believe many of you will as well. I also ordered a Glass Screen Protector from Aliexpress to go along.
This are my findings:

I had this pure gear slim for a bit. It's a great case. I opted for the UAG maverick because it has a bigger edge lip.
