That's one FAT case, but for those that want to be 100% safe, here you go! hehe. Tons of colors, too.

And for only 17 dollars @@

We have been talking about this knock-off case for 2 weeks already in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174889
It's a fake Griffin case for Note 2, even so Griffin does NOT even make cases for Note 2. They took S3 design and scaled it up to Note 2. This is NOT waterproof case, but has one of the best protections, better than Defender. Check out my review in the link above. Plus, you can get it cheaper from www.tvc-mall.com

Insane color selection!!! Nice!!!

Really cheap! Are they reliable sellers?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

Pretty sweet looking case, choice of colors are good also... the holster doesnt convince me much but for the price its worth a try.. although the camera being covered might present a problem for someone who uses the camera often.

Look into my review here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174889 and also scroll down to the second post where you see a lot more pictures. Quality is superb, protection is better than Defender, built in screen protector is very functional (though have to remove inner plastic cover which I forgot to do lol!!!), the case will be very bulky with additional protection but it's meant for a heavy duty rugged use outdoors. You toss this em-effer from a 5 story building on a concrete floor and it will probably survive
Belt clip is bot as sturdy, but its a design of original Griffin Survivor. Keep in mind, Griffin does NOT make Survivor for Note 2. This is improvised knock off where S3 case was scaled up for Note 2 footprint. Camera flip is fine because it attaches on a string where you can turn it out of the way without a need to hold down the flap.

Think it's too much to hope I can buy 2 of these and mix colors? From the other fake survivor thread it seems like the quality control on these can be spotty. Do the microphone holes look much smaller on these than the ones from case parts or am i imagining things?
Also, I too am wondering about the validity of this site.

Of Aliexpress? I buy from them all the time. I have yet to have an issue with the sellers. Also, you should buy from popular sellers. Regardless, they don't get paid until you get the product in your house and release the funds. I wish I could say the same about CrapBay.

locally here in china.. 42RMB is around $6.75
View attachment 1836863

I ended up ordering one locally here in china on taobao. The case is really nice and I like it alot. The only downside is the rubber that protects the camera I could do without . It is a littke bit of a hassel when you want to take a picture. Other than that well worth thr $6 usd.

The only bad part that I dont like about this case is that the power cable if you use a non standard end it will not connect properly because the case.

Why would you want to use an escrow service for such a small amount?

That's how they do their sales. Wasn't another option available on the site or at least not one I could find.

That gives us an idea of the insane profit margins they get out of these things.
I've tried one of those out at a vendor in a mall. The magnet is too strong and will turn your screen off if you hold it with the cover folded back. Just a warning.
Ordered it as well. Great price.

watch out for the lead poisoning when you read things like chemical smell its not a good sign. you can buy $1 cases out of china or $20 it depends on what its made out of. remember there is no EPA there. you can buy quality crayons for you kids or the ones that contain lead. Its one thing putting a lead painted statue in your yard but a case that is in constant contact with your hands good luck

I agree and am not arguing with you, but I'm just wondering if you can name any hazardous material that isn't lead.
most if not all these low tech gadget accessories are made from similar materials at more or less crappy working environments by workers that are not so well compensated, that's just business, no sense of over compensating someone when you get get the same for less
point being that you could have paid 20 bucks for a case yet you will never know for sure if they mistreat their worker or used materials that are otherwise harmful to your body
while i see your point, i guess the false sense of getting better quality when paying extra or by buying brand name is something that i disagree with
by the way, it is just a tablet case, not a baby feeding bottle or health supplement, even if they did use something that can possibly be harmful to our body, i doubt it will have any significant health effects before the case or tablet become obsolete
my 2 cents

with this case thats false it does not do that. i have the case and love it. and the smell everyone is talking about is due to the fact its fake leather fyi and its in a tight package. ive had mine for a while now the odor smell went away after a day being out of the package.
GreatDad said:
sorry not a chemist but it just kills me how people look at price rather than quality, i appreciate a bargain but having been to China and seen the difference in materials used not to mention the work conditions of the workers that make these low quality low priced products i tend to stay away from them. There are many factories back there that use quality materials that meet are standards and treat thir workers right, thus higher costs.

These cases are polyurethane, and that's the "chemical smell". It's normal.
Your comment is also somewhat ironic what with your being an advertising shill for kevikev, a reseller of Chinese-made products.

Unfortunately, it'll probably kill cell signal and GPS signal too much for it to be useful

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Reviews on the s3 version indicated it did drop signal just as any other aluminum case. It's nice but not worth the money. It is machined perfectly and does look good, probably the best looking case setup I've seen.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I used Draco for my S3, for me it's worth the price, paid around $65 that time, but it makes the phone bigger significantly, which fine with me for S3, but for Note2, I think it's too much.
Signal does drop a little bit.
wow the case is sexy, i don't think it makes the note looks that much bigger from the picture. but the price is too hight. i think i will pass
I've been waiting for this ever since I got my note 2
So where can I buy one from? I'm in the uk, I don't see anywhere available for the Note 2, they look really good, especially in red. Anybody able to supply me a link, cheers.

Sorry for the old thread revival. Just wanted to post in case you were still interested. I did a search to see if anything was on XDA about the case.

VITREO on, right? I assume Draco lip is high enough to lay screen down without temp. glass touching the surface? Since I'm not familiar with bumper cases, do they offer a good drop protection? I assume there is a padding inside to absorb the shock and isolate phone from hitting the metal bumper frame if dropped.
... never mind, saw your official review post and got my answers about the design
I was thinking I'm done with reviews of cases, but this kind of picked my curiosity again

Vitreo has enough of a border it doesn't touch the case. When laid flat, I think the Vitreo and bumper touch at the same contact point.
Tolerance looks very close. hard to tell. I slide it on the edge of a counter and it seems seamless. If anything the Vitreo sticks out a little further than the bumper.
Ok received my draco gray today.. Love this bumper.. No noticeable signal loss, great high quality peace... I am using it with the mugen extended battery.. I had to modify it some for it to fit.. Shaved off the lip in the back side.. Will post pictures as soon as I have another phone to take some.. Looks better than I thought it would..

"Otterbox Commuter" Mod with a Kickstand

Otterbox offers some of the best protection cases for devices. It rarely incorporates kickstands as part of the main casing. This shows you how I managed to splice in a thin kickstand from another casing. This saves you from carrying those stands so you can watch videos hands-free.
The "Otherbox Commuter" case you see here is an exact $5 replica done by a company called Swisstech in one of their kiosk stores here in Metro Manila. The original Otterbox Commuter cost $70 retail here.

The TPU case with the kick stand actually cost more at about $9!
You can exact the process with the original Commuter case if you want to do this.
This will give you peace of mind for accidental drops but giving you that kickstand function but still as thin.
Here's the video link of the finished case:

Nah, the point of the project was to really put the stand inside and not be just anything that I put on to the surface of the case. The 3 hours I put into this paid of so that it can still fit into my book hiding place for the Note II.

I've been to the Philippines twice and love it. It's not that it's so dangerous that you will get robbed blindly down the street, it's that items of value are less common, so you could get swiped in the most inopportune times. In the US or other locations, it's more common to see expensive gadgets. There is a lot of poverty in the Philippines and in regions of the world like that, it's very common.
It doesn't suck because you grow up knowing that's the way things are there.
ANYWAY, back on topic. Is there any way to get a Swiss-Tech case online? Was looking and it seems there is no way to get them. I like the price and the difference in look from the "Otterbox".
I'm all for making mods where necessary, but a similar case with a stand already built in seems easier.
This one is $7. My wife and I have them in different colors. They're great.

Id just go for a otterbox defender case. Super tough case plus the clip on the holsters locks open if you want to become a stand.. on the down side this case does make it a bit bulky but still protects it extremely well. .

Yes, there are reasons why is choose the Commuter over the Defender. One thing is the difficulty of changing the battery and taking out the micro SD card. I'd not be using that holster that much either. Where would I store that? I'm trying hard to conceal the Note, not actually show it off on my waist.

Free shipping and you can click $ in the upper right to see the price in US dollars. Might get one myself!
Those look great. I'd want to know how protective it is before I bought one, though.
I sent an email about Verizon compatibility and they said it is suitable for the 980.
"Dear Sir / Madam
Good Day
The Tetded LG G2 cases are suitable for LG G2 V980.

Did anyone get it?
I got it and it is by far the nicest, high end case I have ever had on any android phone, period. The one (and only) thing I envy about the iPhone is the amount of accessories, especially high end cases, that are available for it. But finally, I have a high end, actual leather case that even my Apple friends are envious of! I will try and post pics, or maybe a video later today. By the way, I have the tmobile USA g2 and it fits perfectly, if anyone is wondering, so this should fit the at&t and Sprint versions as I think they are the same sizes, but I have heard the Verizon is a little thicker so I don't think it would fit?

I'm also interested in this case....can you upload some pics please? Has anyone else tried Tededs cases?
I'm really tempted to get one but I can't decide to get just the back case or the book case with a magnetic flap. It looks really nice but how much protection would it deliver if I accidentally drop it? I've had my LG G2 for about six months now and I've only dropped it once while naked when I stepped out of my car and I forgot I had it on my leg.
All the cases on that page actually fit the Verizon LG G2? They do look nicer than others cases I have seen, even if it isn't a lot of protection.
Edit: nevermind they replied to me just now that they are not compatible with the Verizon G2. The earlier reply posted by someone was wrong which is what I figured. Personally I think Verizon changed the phone just enough to force people to buy the case from them. I have never seen a phone with so few quality cases.
Anyone who have bought case from Tetded and have any feedback/pics how the quality is etc?
Love it but does anyone make a case like this that wraps around the front?

3rd Party Dot View?

Will 3rd parties be able to make dot view cases?
I don't really want a flip case, but a decent leather sleeve with some holes in the front to allow the dot view to be used would be nice?

I don't really want a flip case, but a decent leather sleeve with some holes in the front to allow the dot view to be used would be nice?
Anyone seen anything like this?

I do know that it's going to happen. What the actual quality, style, and all turn out to be is going to depend on the manufacturers, but there are some that have already begun to utilize the magnet activation system that's inside the dot view case that enables dot view "mode"
Found out about it from htcsource: http://htcsource.com/2014/04/third-...ing-on-htc-one-m8-dot-view-case-alternatives/
Direct link to one case:

edit: should mention this is NOT what it sounds like you're looking for, but it is proof that 3rd parties will probably be doing some designing and developing for more options soon.
I did a quick review of the Nillkin case a few days ago.

While the Dot view sounds and looks cool. I just don't see how it is easy to hold a curved back phone with a flipped back flap on it. It can be done, yes. But why would you want to mess with a folded back flap??
Spigen will introduce soon an Dot-View Variant of the Slim Armor View for the M8.
I'm surprised its taking so long to get these 3rd party dot view cases to market. HTC has given case manufacturers a unique feature to offer but they have yet to utilize it.

just use xposed framework and the dot view mod, and everything is fine ....

Where did you get that info
I have been searching for one too.
A friend of mine is using a 3rd party dot case, she said it doesn't work too well but I assume it depends on the brand. I'll see if I can upload pics soon.
Found one here
This one is from China. It's a no for me though! :laugh:

Any source on this? Last time I contacted Spigen (May 19th) I got this:
Thank you so much for contacting us and we appreciate your patience.
I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your question.
I am glad to hear that you are greatly interested in our Spigen products.
At this moment, our developers have not confirmed any specific plans/releases.
However, we will definitely consider your interest! Thank you for that suggestion.

Spigen don't use to spread rumours officially, but some employee friend of a friend of the cousin of my sister first boyfriend told us that
Just don't care, rely on something: Spigen never left an market opportunity, of they launched an armor view case for the Nexus 5, do you believe they will not do the same on the more popular and appeal M8.
Believe me the Spigen Slim Armor Dot-View exists and will be launched soon, don't spect an pre-release announcement this is against marketing logic (so many people won't buy the std slim armor case waiting for the dot view version)...

Thanks I ordered one as well. I have the original but I accidentally tore it off the back trying to stretch it to fit over a glass screen protector. Still sort of works if I tuck it into another case.

I'm also very interested in this case
I'm tempted to just buy one, it's cheap enough.
but I think I'll hold off for your impressions.

so i just got emailed by the ebay seller saying that he wont ship it to me due to overwhelming complaints about the item but he will send a similar item with higher quality. i said im fine with it but im now wondering if it will work with my glass screen protector.
