P880 - [Flip Cover] - with pics! - LG Optimus 4X HD

Hello p880 users,
This is my girlfriends phone, and she wanted a samsung-like flip cover, so I found and bought this (I looked everywhere, couldnt find it in ebay):
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Hot-Selling-Retailing-Unltra-Thin-Slim-Side-Back-Battery-Flip-cover-PU-Leather-Housing-case-for/1220467926.html
The case actually feels good in hand and there's a black version too.
The back cover doesnt have NFC, and the back side plastic texture feels cheaper then the original (LG logo is painted instead of a metal plate). The back cover is also a little bit thicker - 2mm maybe. The front flip feels really good and closes well.
I didnt find any pictures laying around the web, so I thought leaving these here.
By the way, aliexpress turned out to be a good experience, and everything went smooth.

Dont use Nillkin, I've used them before. Yes, they look decent and feel great but after about 1 week, the edge start to loose... around 1 month, the skin will peel off....
Currently, I'm using a leather wallet case around 6GBP, It's much better.

nice case but i prefer vertical flap , not horizontal .

Not there yet. I've been looking and emailed case mate they said just keep looking. looking thanks
my 2 cents
Hi all,
Just wanted to chime in on this case. The protection is great and the side grips make the feel more solid as opposed to slippery. The extended rubber on the face helps when it is facedown or when it potentially drops so it's not flush against the floor/table. My only beef is that the kickstand rubber part has come loose so i'm not sure how durable that part is, it's not that much of a hassle as I can still manage to prop it up but I'm afraid it will eventually break off.
Most complaints are about the difficulty of getting the kickstand out
P.S. all ports are accessible i.e. stylus, charger, headphones, camera, speaker
Raised power & volume up/down buttons
Whats the matter with case makers these days? Release the case with just 2 colors, one is black the other is white with pink. Its exactly like body glove diamond series... ffs have they ever thought men uses with white case too? Why pink?? Could just use red and that would plays with well with both genders...
Nice looking case but have always had the rubber part warp on every case I had. Evo 4g, evo 3d, and the skyrocket. I ended up using the speck case for my note 2. Even if anything happens to it I can exchange it for free at the att store.

Ok my bad,it costs $26.99? its tpu with a polycarbonite shell, nice snug fit,slim design,nice front lip, my only complaint is the back is a finger print magnet at times or maybe it's just the black color that I have, but that's minor to me I plan on ordering a few more colors, Here's where I ordered mines from, received it in 4 days even though the tracking says it's still in Chicago and I live in Louisiana, http://www.zoarah.com/iface-revolution-case-for-galaxy-note-2.html?desktop=

Reminds me of the samsung protective cover+ in that the back is hard plastic and the edges are tpu. Do you have to remove the phone to access the credit card holder/slot?

Looks cool! The shiny back resembles a lot Case-Mate Pop! case, probably the same fingerprint magnet prone to scratches and slippery. I like how they have a little piece of gold foil in there and claim "24K Gold-plated logo sticker inside the case blocks 95% of electromagnetic waves and protects you from small amount of electromagnetic radiation". Reminds me a lot of those little battery stickers they used to sell 4-5 years ago that claimed the same.
Sorry, didn't mean to rain on the parade, just making general comments. The case definitely looks original which is a big plus, and from its description offers a great deal of protection! Thanks for sharing it!!!
Yeah ok
Case looks great! Thanks for sharing. How long did it take to actually get to your front door?

Reading the list of specs on the website I see there is a hole for an aerial for the Korean note 2. Does the hole leave the corner exposed? Nice looking case, I'd be interested in black if they ship to the UK. Thanks.

It's exposed but not to the point where if you drop it the corner would hit the ground but it's a slot big enough for an antenna to slide out, but the phone sits back deep inside the case, you can see it in the 7th pic

I bought it from ebay. I can't find the seller, below is a link to another one, I paid the same amount.
I did test it out, it did not scratch my phone, even with the screen protector on.

I also had a similar but cheaper bumper before, that one does not have the cut out for the power button and volume rocker, it's also thicker in size. No problem with that one either.

I am not sure since this one is thinner, but I can check it out later when I go home.
I don't really care about that because I used aftermarket backs with the bumper. These backs are usually a little thicker so they protect the lens even if you set it flat.

Got Bored from the Slippy Grip_Note2_N7100

Hi everybody,
Here you can post your experience about the slippy grip of your mobile (especially N7100), and how you've got rid of it; either with using special casing or without using any casing.
Thanks for your participation.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I didn't. The Note 2 needs to be slippery for me so it can slip into my pocket.
I tried to use casing, but itmakes mobile looks bigger, also I removed the chrome from the bezel thinking it will help, although it looks more fun to me but still very slippery. I'm searching here and there, the only reasonable solution is to replace the battery cover with one like Note3 battery cover, but it's not available in markets in my country, I have to go through ebay or amazon

If you're willing to try; you could spray it with Plasti-Dip http://www.plastidip.com/
It will give your phone a rubbery/grippy feel, but is easily removed if needed.
You could either spray the battery cover with it, or also spray the bezel as well for ultimate grip.
I use an Imak Cowboy shell case; it has a really nice/grippy texture and adds very little bulk to the phone. You can pick them up for $10 on eBay.

I find the Ringke Slim case adds a nice level of grip, or rather adds a non slippery surface that's grippy enough. It still slips effortlessly in and out of my pocket. Also it really doesn't add any bulk at all. Try a search and I'm sure you'll see some photos.

took your advice. put plasti-dip on the back cover and its freaking amazing. no more slippery note 2.
i had ordered the 'leather' back cover but that didn't provide any grip. plasti dip is amazing.

Scotch Brite scouring pad might do it.
I recall people using that method to give a 'matte' appearance to the GS2 plastic bezel.
