I bought a case for $ 6 @ P Mall covers the back and sides good enough for me.

i think theres another recent thread on this. I hate cases, but love my Samsung TPU case. Super thin, rubber sides, plastic back that looks like factory back. Most people have no idea I have a case on it. Paid $15 for it

Do u thinks they have tpu cases for this phone in the kiosks in the mall. Need something to hold me over until I can get mine from eBay. All they sell at the carrier stores are flip covers for 50 bucks.

Bought a $3 TPU case off ebay. Thin and protective and looks great.

I was thinking about one I saw on ebay with a transformers logo on it. Thought I might go super geek and a bit flashy this time. Atleast until the outter box defender comes out.

I bought the JKase Premium Quality Samsung Galaxy Note II 2 GT-N7100 Streamline TPU Case Cover - Retail Packaging - Clear from Amazon. It was cheap and I was able to get fast 2 day shipping with Prime. (can't post a link yet since I am new)
This case and my Note 2 will be arriving tomorrow. I hope the case will be enough to hold me over until a better deal comes about on a name brand case. I'll be pairing this with a Spigen screen protector.

Im using the white and grey case mate case from at&t. The reason, I billed it to my company.

Is that the case you ordered as well? Seems they took the option for Amazon Prime away on it.

Got the black Body Glove case from Sprint and love it for it's thin form factor, non-slippery feel, and design.

Same here. I also have the Proclips mount in my car, meaning I have to take the case off to use it. The Body Glove case comes off and goes back on very easily.

Also bought the body glove one from sprint. Was worried about cases and adding bulk but this seems to be minimal and my phone doesn't feel like it's going to slip out of my hand every time I hold it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using Tapatalk 2

I went to several Sprint locations, and none of them had the body glove case. I was also hoping to get something with a belt clip.

The only case I found locally in stock for my Note 2 was at the AT&T store and it was a white/grey CaseMate with a built in kickstand I think it cost $38 and did not come with a screen protector. Wish Otterbox made a Commuter style with built in kickstand for the Note 2.

Case
I bought the Ringke SLIM Soft Feeling Premium Hard Case. It's slim. adds very little bulk while protecting at the same time and got it off of amazon for 10.99 on sale from 25.00. I added the Spigen SGP Ultra Oloephobic screen protector and it's totally protected. I love them both.......

Have this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cruzerlite-An...6902&sr=1-2&keywords=cruzerlite+galaxy+note+2
Goes really well with the Titanium Gray Note 2.

$5 Ionic Position folio-style case off of Amazon. Offers good protection, looks good, and doesn't have a magnetic closure (huge!).
I just purchased a Seidio Active-like case off of Amazon to use until the Seidio Active combo either comes down in price or shows up at Best Buy for 2/3rds of what it costs now.
I also just returned an Amzer Shellster because it was a piece of crap that broke three days in. Spending $6 to return an item that I'll get $14 back for, after spending $5 initially to have it shipped. Really thrilled about Amzer's customer service policies.

Best thin case?

Nillkin or Rearth are the only ones I see that are thin, any other brands/cases?

I cannot complain about the rearth case one bit. My, surprisingly enough, has fit, since day one... YMMV.

The nillkin is pretty nice too as long as u get it in black.

I have the nillkin in black and the rearth in white. They are both super slim and nice l cause they add grip so I can do a lot with one hand now. I'd recommend both to anyone. And the nillkin I bought on eBay for 7 bucks with shipping included and the rearth was 10 on Amazon, although this was 3 weeks ago so they might have went up in price by now

The stock samsung galaxy note 2 case is best thin wise. 2mm thick screen cover and a new back case to.protect the camera its ace but costs £30ish in shops.

I use to have the Rock Quicksand for my HOX but now have the Nillkin for my Note. Much preferred the Rock Quicksand; it's slimmer and provides for a better grip.

I have the translucent, frost colored one, looks good on my white N7000.. They are a pain to take off, usb cable does not fit in the port properly and pops out easily. It's also disposable, I imagine after 6 months it will look pretty ratty. That all said, I like it, it's very thin. I bought 3 for $6 shipped. So I'm set for a while.

There's no thinner case than no case at all. The back is replaceable for less than what you pay for a case if it gets scratched or cracked.
With a thin case, you're not getting much shock protection against a drop anyway, so the only thing that worries me is the finish around the edge trim wearing off, so I use a bumper.

Word of warning: I bought this case on the 29th OCTOBER, it was dispatched the very next day and I still haven't received it. That's over 30 days ago. Contacted the seller last Friday and he asked me to wait an additional 10 days. I'm in the UK by the way.

I bought this case and got it within a week from china. Simply amazing is the only way to describe it. It fits perfectly on the phone, it leave the "naked" feel of no case yet still offers some protection. Sure if you drop it the phone will still get damaged but for me I don't have to worry about throwing it down on my desk and scratching the phone up. I loved it so much I bought another one... My two complaints are 1. the usb port cutout of a tad too small and some wires don't fit all the way so they pop out. 2. It's nearly impossible to get this thing off the phone once it's on because it's so thin I feel like I'll break it trying.

The only bad thing about that case is that the sides are not really protected. Other than that, it's not a bad case at all.

I could care less about the back cover since they're like $10 to replace, it's the plastic chrome sides that need protecting.

Looking for a slim leather pouch

Hello guys.
I am searching for a new case for my note 2.
Currently i have a tpu case on the back but I want something different.
Thought to get a wallet case (spigen) but they are so bulky. Don't think that I will like it.
Now i decided to look for a slim and nice leather pouch.
I found one from buggati, mumbi, krusell luna and the original Samsung pouch.
Which one can you recommend or doym you have other nice options for me?
Thanks in advance

I just ordered one of these yesterday. I had one of their sleeves before for my Galaxy Tab and it was great. Good padding, well-made, very inexpensive. The protection on the sleeve seemed reasonable, though I cannot yet comment on this new item.

Pouch
First I went with one $9 belt pouch from eBay that was junk (I can fit two Note II inside). In the past I had Monaco pouch with belt clip for my ol;d Samsung smartphone running Windows Mobile and it was the best pouch I ever owned so I did some search and found that Monaco has a horizontal (and vertical) pouch designed specially for Note II. It cost more than average pouch but I can assure you it is really a high quality product and N2 fits inside well. I've ordered it from here along with car charger to get free shipping:

Can you post a link to that eBay case or do you want to sell it? I'm looking for a belt holster/pouch that I can use with a case. The two I've bought so far will only hold the naked phone.

Have you seen this from Samsung?

I don't like this horizontal case. The original pouch looks great and is really slim but I don't know how it holds the phone and how you can push the phone out of the case.

It's a leather vertical pouch. I like it so far.

Im looking for a pouch where it can fit while in a case havent found one yet
Sent from my lovely note 2

So got the Waterfield case. It's a thin sleeve, won't really provide any protection from drops (just protection from scratches and scuffs in a pocket). It's not bad, and at $10 it seems reasonably well-made. Fits nicely. Really just a cloth pouch though.

Looks the same as the one you don't like but for $5 can't go wrong. I like it. It has rings as well as a belt clip. It also holds the note 2 with a tpu case on.

Pics of my new case with pre-made cut-out for Samsung flip

I purchased two of these cases from a company called Strapya. They are made in Japan by a company called Rayout. I modified about ten cheap ebay cases to work with my Samsung flip case by cutting out one of the sides. They looked okay, but I'm a bit OCD, and I wanted something that is pre-made to work with the Samsung flip case. I was not disappointed in these, even though I ended up paying about $35 total after shipping for two cases, an orange and a black case. At about $18 per case (after shipping), it's true they are a lot more expensive than $2 TPU ebay cases, but they have a much different feel. The TPU has a spongy texture that isn't slippery. It's also thicker, tougher-feeling, and weightier than cheap ebay TPU. The cuts are obviously smooth and perfect. I am very satisfied.

The cases took about ten days to arrive.

This does look nice.. When all my flip cases come in the mail I might have to order this

Cos that thread you linked to is about someone modding the genuine Sammy case to fit with the flip case.... Not a case designed to fit with the flip case..... Maybe
Why not just have one thread per forum about cases and let everything get lost in there.

The thread you pointed to is people modifying their cases. If I am not mistaken, this one is about not modifying a case. In my opinion it's not the same.
I appreciate this thread because I have been curious as to how the store bought cases compare to the modded ones. This info would have gotten lost had it been posted in the other thread.

Sure. I initially left out a link to the cases on the Strapya website, but I amended my original post. I bought two because the shipping cost is equal to the price of one case. If I recall correctly, you can get two cases, and the combined shipping is the same as buying one case.

The first pic is the back. Not sure what you are asking???
Update: Ok. You said black not back. lol I have had a few beers. I will do that for sure. I just thought orange would show up better.
BTW...Each case also comes with a screen protector. I have not tried it though. Using a Just Like Glass protector. Does a good job but took a month for the bubbles to vanish.

Recommend a Case?

I just purchased a Galaxy Tab 3 8.0. Can't find a case to fit it. I'd like to have one made specifically for it (not universal) that has the "elastic strap" that secures it when closed.

Try a brand called incase it slides into the case and 2 little velcro flaps hold the top in. It has the elastic strap on it your looking for. Bestbuy has them for about $29-$39. They are made for exactly the case (book) your looking for. Its a great case, they call it a book. I have one for my 10.1 and love it.

I like the Moko case recommended elsewhere under this topic. Very slim & made specifically for this tab. The only thing I don't like about it is that with the case closed the alarm is essentially silence,. Available on Amazon for around $15.

The MOKO does cover the corners via the back cover clasps,I bought from Amazon for $20 delivered.
It also puts Tab 3 8.0 to sleep when you close it,perfect fit and works great.
Forgot to say top cover folds back magnetically to form a rear stand.

I got a cheap one from Amazon for £8.
I cannot fault it. Works well, good quality and snug fit.
