I just got the UAG case for my note 2, don't like it very much, I much preferred the casemate pop case for my S2, I will get the casemate pop for the note 2 now.
The Pop case was the first case I got for my Note 2, and while I loved it in concept, the kickstand is very poorly designed and failed after about 2 weeks. I wish I could find a ultra thin case with a built in kickstand that is more sturdy.

Also, forgot to mention that I had to trim the case to slightly widen the opening for the usb port because my OEM plug wouldn't fit.

While I wish the kickstand was a little sturdier (as I mention in the review) I like the balance they found with keeping it slim, I used it heavily for a few days and wouldnt see myself breaking it, but you never know. Ive gotten other cases with kick stands and it really adds to the bulk of the phone. This I see is there when I need it. Actually sent out the case to another team member to Test out. Will see what he thinks soon too
It is easy to take the case out to change the battery?

Not as easy as the Tough Case, which is very easy. The Pop, like most Tpu style cases, just requires getting use to where to push/pull the corner to get the case off
Out of the four cases that I own, this is the case I use the most. I really like the design and feel of the case. The case of pretty sturdy too. My GN2 fell out of my pocket getting out of my car. It fell from about three feet to asphalt and the only damage was a small nick to the case. I just wish there were more color options.

are you guys able to give me the diameter of the opening for the 3.5mm audio jack?
I want to know if the Audio Technica M50's jack will be able to fit through this case?

I sent the case to a team member, so unfortunately I don't have it on me to measure. I have a feeling its probably the same as the Tough Case opening, which I do have listed in the pics section of that review. Don't remember off hand, will look
Edit: 3/8 of an inch. That's what the Tough is. I'd guess its similar

Case: 1 star
Hello all,
Thought I'd give my input on this case before anyone else buys this thing.
The case as a whole and it's construction/quality is very good, hard durable plastic, good silicon underlay helps protect the back. Overall good quality.
People have mentioned that it's very hard to press the L/R and the volume buttons. I didn't have much of an issue, sure it's harder, but not impossible.
The dust covers on the USB and microphone jack are very good, fits in well, and easy to remove, and put back in.
If this was it, the Otterbox case would be great and get 5 stars.
So why then am I only giving this case 1 star? Simple, two fatal flaws that completely break this case.
1) To the left of the USB port are two clips keeping the top and bottom halves attached, these two clips OVERLAP. Why is this a bad thing? Because they push the screen apart, as well when you move the screen up and down, it will scratch against the gamepad. Over time this could cause some bad scratches or damage to the gamepad.
2) This is my biggest problem. The silicon inlay is too thick. What problem does this present? The clips on the side of the case rely on things fitting perfectly in order to latch onto the phone. Since the silicon is too thick, when the case is fitted, the clips are pushed out too far to properly grab on to edges of the phone. I noticed this when I was using the volume buttons, since I have to push down harder on the volume buttons than normal, because of the silicon, the extra force would push the case apart.
I have called Otterbox, and have twice had replacements sent to me, all had the same problems. I tried taking out the silicon and putting it on, the case fit PERFECTLY. But some of the buttons, power button, volume, L/R buttons are not as easily pressed anymore.
When I called Otterbox the last one, the rep made mention that it is an older phone and wasn't sure if they ever intended to fix the problem. He didn't say it, but you could tell what he was thinking.
These problems have existed since the case was made, theres no reason the problem should still exist. So they never intent to do anything, and anyone already with the case is forgotten about.
This is the second Otterbox case I have had problems with, my other was my Xperia X10 Impact case. I won't be buying any more Otterbox cases.
Just thought I'd share this in case anyone was even considering the Otterbox case for their Play.
When I get some money, I'll be trying out a Trident case.
Thanks for the review, I found it helpful.
I had an otterbox case on my old phone and it was awesome. Soon as I bought this phone last August I bougt an ottetbox case. Piece of crap for the same reasons you described thankfully I was provided and refund and got to keep the case, which sits in its box since August. Again stay the hell away from otterbox for this case is worthless and junk. I have never tried another case. However I do keep a nice otterbox screen shield on for good measure. That works well too bad I can't say the same for the case.

you are much better off with a trident aegis. In my view the best case on the market for play. If you don't have the dough get a cheap £3 gel case from ebay. Don't buy an acrylic case as they dont fit well or last long.
I have a £30 otterbox discarded somewher in my office. Waste of money
Good luck trying to get it to stay with an invisibleSHIELD on also

i bought a trident case for my play.
Best decision ever.
Perfect fit and buttons are very easy to press.
The only bad thing is that there are no dust covers for the ports and the shoulder buttons are exposed, but that shouldnt stop you from getting this case.
You will enjoy it.
here in the Philippines, otterbox staff are also expert dickheads.. they're arrogant
This is the best Xperia Play case you can buy. I've got one and it's awesome !
It puts aside any of your trident cases.

I have a Trident case for mine. I read too many bad reviews about otterbox that so i went with Trident. It does a very good job of protecting my phone and makes it have some grip so you don't drop it so easily.
I think the Otterbox was redesigned, because I experience NONE of this "clip overlap" issue that I read about. I received mine today and did not even know people had any issue until reading some reviews. I carefully inspected mine and it is flawless. Nothing rubs or scrapes at all. It is smooth as butter. Nor is it "falling off" like others claim. The volume controls are actually easier to volume up and down now, and while yes, there is a little more push involved with the trigger buttons, it is not so much that I cannot push them. It is great to know they are sealed from dust/grime/crap.
I cannot say anything wrong with this case at all. There are cutouts as well for the speakers, and I noticed some reviews said that there were not. I think the case has been re-done, because none of the reviews/reports reflect my case at all??
EDIT: I think I figured it out. If you put the top portion BACKWARD, the tabs overlap each other. You must ensure to put it on the RIGHT WAY and it will not scrape, etc. Wish they were a little more informative and let you know the correct method on the package. I did not put it on the wrong way, but after looking it over I can see how someone can do this and experience what the original reviewer did. When installed the correct way, *nothing* rubs.
I bought this on ebay for my epic touch and thought it would be cool to share with xda, check it out ... It's a Otterbox Note 2 Defender Case (look-a-like)
CHECK IT OUT
it has all the features of the defender case except the Clear protective membrane on touch screen or the Ratcheting belt clip holster...
I drop my phone once from getting out the car and it was on lap, the case protected the phone perfect, no scratch or hard impact...
Just sharing ... its not otterbox but its something cheap and it protects
The quality is equal to otterbox, I had Defender cases on my other devices and this is equivalent... the seller has 4-5 different colors, I got mines in 4-5 days
Does it have the foam on the inside of the hard plastic like the Otterbox?
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
Ordered, will report when I get it.
It's funny, the look-a-likes for most the big name brands: otterbox, ballistic, seidio all have counterparts that look almost identical to them design wise and perform nearly up to par, but at at most 1/4 of the retail price.
does this case have port covers like the otterbox?
That type of black rubber looks like it will attract dust/lint.
Anyway I'll probably get the white one.
Thanks for the link.

Is this case easy to remove from the phone? Had one on order already just waiting for it to be shipped.
Had this case on my gs3 for 2 days then removed it. Its a bad fit. Holes dont line up. Rubber feels like a cheap dog toy. There is no padding on inner layer so it will scratch your phone. Bulkier then a defender. Its harder to take off then a defender. Just a bad case imo
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda app-developers app
Thanks for the info. Just ordered one. Nice price....
I've been rocking mine for a week now. Bad fit but I overcame that by adding black velvet tape I had for my home theater screen border. This helps it fit better and helps keep it from scratching my phone. The case still creaks when you handle it but not as badly. It's heavy. But I like it more than I hate it. I love portrait and landscape kickstand modes. Lint magnet, yes. But nothing I can't blow off by blowing hard with my mouth, as filthy as that sounds.
---------- Post added at 08:02 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:55 AM ----------
The buttons originally lined up perfectly and we're extremely easy to press, which is a good thing. But since I added my velvet spacer, sometimes I have to fight to press the side buttons accurately. In the end, I'm loving this case still. And no, mine came with no plus for the ports. Not sure if it was supposed to but thought it was.

I think the best part is it has all the features of the defender case except the "Clear protective membrane" on touch screen ... I think since were using a stylus ... a screen protector will be better then the loose "Clear protective membrane"

It's not like it's permanently attached to the otterbox...you can pull it out if you wanted to. Done it many times. And the s-pen works fine through screen protectors. It's not your typical stylus. I will continue to wait for the real thing personally.
And it doesn't have all the features...no port covers and no holster.

This one is slowly becoming my favorite. It's slim, it has a kickstand, the kickstand is designed in a way it provides a great way to hold the phone (like a flygrip), it fits perfectly in my Seidio holster, it has a bit of a lip by the screen for worry-free face down placement, it has a great texture for grip and it doesn't show fingerprints.
I usually buy my cases with a big discount in order to resell them after I "test" them. In this case though I paid regular price at the Verizon store ($20) and I'm probably keeping it as my daily case.

It's fairly slim though I wouldn't call it a "slim" case. It slides in the pocket easily but I mainly use it with it's holster.
I bought it because I love the color but this is probably one I'll be reselling because it shows fingerprints easily, the two piece vertical design has issues with locking into place (some find it too hard to remove while others, including me, have an issue with how easily it opens up), and the lip is a little too large.
Im using the case mate pop right now. Loving it so far

Hi all,
I currently use my Note 4 to watch a lot of Netflix, YouTube etc. and have a case that can act as a stand. With limited use of my hands I also use the case as a handle I can grip to hold up in situations like when I'm in a car.
I am currently using an ACEABOVE Slim Leather Protective Stand Case.
I am considering switching to a Note 8 and a case that meets the needs mentioned above a must for me and I wanted some advice.
The Snakehive Genuine Leather Wallet with Viewing Stand seems like a good idea, but I'm concerned that over time the part that holds the magnet would drop over the screen obscuring vision - is this likely?
The Terrapin Low Profile PU Leather Wallet is another (considerably cheaper) case that may do the trick.
Are there any better cases out there that would suit my needs?
Thanks in advance!

I thought about a kickstand, but it wouldn't provide me with the grip I need.
I ordered the Terrapin so I'll see how that goes.
Me too - bought the N8 last week and from the reads so far the Patchworks have done a good job. Still unsure about the tempered glass. I cannot convince myself to put 50 odd bucks (and the mess associated with it) for the Whitestone though.

Hey, I've been using my Poco for more than 3 months now and it's buck ass naked save for a screen protector (only because it ain't a gorilla graded display). I think you wouldn't need a case as it's high grade plastic and even on the off chance you drop it, there won't be much damage to the body (can't say the same for the display though ?). If you feel the phone might slip out of your hands and drop then I'd suggest slapping on some slick decals that would make your phone look cool as well as provide sufficient grip.
You can check out these 2 websites:
1. dbrand.com - they're the ones who started the decal game and still have it going strong. You can choose what kind of decal, colour and what part of the phone you want under the decal. They have some pretty sweet designs.
2. slickwraps.com - these guys came late in the game, but man oh man they're just amazing, you can go so far as to customise your skin with a personal photo and not just that, you can get your personalised skin in a glossy or matte finish! How cool is that!
As far screen protectors are concerned I wouldn't recommend using tempered glass protectors because they hamper the touch functionality. You can look for hydrogel protector and they're pretty neat if you ask me.
I hope that helps, cheers!!!

Karapaver wasn't any better, for me, than the spigen for protection, didn't look as nice, and offered no more protection for the front. The corner protrusions limit its car mounting options. I couldn't get this or the Ringke to sit properly in my brodit car mount. I either had to tighten the mount for the sides which made the case/phone difficult to remove or I tightened the mount for the corners and had the case rattle around cause it wasn't being secured properly in the mount.
Mileage may vary with other mounting options.

You can check out these 2 websites:
1. dbrand.com - they're the ones who started the decal game and still have it going strong. You can choose what kind of decal, colour and what part of the phone you want under the decal. They have some pretty sweet designs.

I'm sure that overseas shipping may be a limiting factor here. Unless these companies have UK distributors?

I live in Germany and they provide international shipping, you'll just have to keep an eye out for offers on shipping or discounts in general.
