Hello everyone
I have my note protected with incase but I am thinking about bumper...
I guess that I will buy only a good quality from a known brand.
Any ideas or experience from someone?
Thanks

I personally don't think bumpers are great protection, so I don't have a recommendation for ya. But this forum has a bunch of bumper reviews, and you should start with the Draco. There's a review thread a few down from this and it seems to be popular and expensive (= quality?)

Do you have an Incase brand case? If yes, where did you get it? Incase doesn't make anything for the Note 2, but I wish they did.

i thought that at first too, he probably meant "within" case.

I use an androidified tpu case covers the back and the sides. Without adding bulk.
Its fine for me but it is minimal protection.

In general I don't like bumpers: they modify the Note 2 aspect without a great protection, and also the large dimension of the Note with a bumper becomes unfit for an usage with one hand; only extra thin bumpers doesn't stop this usage.
I prefer a booklet cover. With one of it you can protect all the Note 2 and when you are outside you can see your smartphone with a landscape visual.
Bye.
Bumpers are SOOOO the way to go. The keep this giant phone as slim as possible, look great, and seem just as protective as any other case, except for perhaps scratches on the back plate, for which I have a film to cover. Plus if you use a wireless charging pad, as I do, they are mandatory. I have a Walnutt brand bumper (very nice, ebay) which I paid $30 for, but then found an equivalent product for like $3 shipped. I'll see if I can find the email and past the link.

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.

Not necessarily. The ones for my Evo lte and GS3 didn't.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using xda premium
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.

No foam inside
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.

nice case, but I always over-look the Otterbox defender because they add too much bulk to your phone, and it's like you just carry a rock in your pocket, and I also don't like the folding case, because seriously I've to fold and hold the phone while talking, NOT ME.
but hey everyone has their own choice, ENJOY IT.

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

got this cool case on ebay. its like a mesh metal texture. feels really nice. a little slipperier than the tpu case. but it's definitely slim profile. looks very good and fits perfect. it was 3 bucks and shipped in less than a week. i really like how this makes the phone look new.

I really like the unibody cases. Any of the 2 piece plastic ones pop off if you so much as lay your phone down wrong. I'll definitely be picking one of these guys up. Good find.
a very cheap and simple solution!
i bought some silicon bubbles for furnitures and stick them at the 4 corners of the case

poetic atmosphere a very slim good quailty and cheap priced one
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Atmosp...4&sr=8-2&keywords=poetic+atmosphere+galaxy+s5
the only problem is its so slim it dosent have enough protection for the lens
another option is Poetic AER it looks a little more protective and still very slim
i thinkthere should be a small screen protector for the camera lens that dosent affect the quality
maybe il try the one i got with the trident il just cut it in the size of the lens
Clever... I might end up doing this.
