Hi there,
I am looking for a case for my Note. I am seriously sick of flip cases. I don't see any good use for them as they just add a layer of annoyance for me.
What I am looking for is a case that wraps around the corners.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-note-2-cases/galaxy-note-2-case-ultra-thin-air.html
Like this but wrapping the top and bottom too.
I have a few bumps and scratches I would like to hide.
I can't find a case.
Isn't there any case prefably made out of leather or even faux leather that just wraps my phone ?
edit/
This is acutally exactly what I want (bare in mind this is a case for the Note not the Note2 !!!
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
1) very similar to ultra thin air and the like but covers a little better and has good reviews from people on xda: http://www.amazon.com/DBA-Cases-Abu...32909&sr=8-1&keywords=dba+cases+galaxy+note+2
2) casemate tough- thinnest case that provides protection comparable to aegis, uag, and otterbox: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&sr=1-6&keywords=casemate+tough+galaxy+note+2
3) closest thing you will find to a thin leather case but with no protection on top or bottom: http://www.zoarah.com/foxjail-air-pocket-case-for-galaxy-note-2.html
The last one definetely goes into the right direction but it looks pretty damn ugly to be honest.
This is the case I use on my iPad
http://www.spigen.com/tablets/apple/ipad-2/spigen-sgp-ipad-2-leather-case-griff-series.html
I would be totaly fine with something along that lines. Even if it doesn't cover the top or bottom.
This would be the exact thing I am looking for (unfortunately it's for the Note)
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
i have the white one and it looks really good
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-Fibe...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item3f20bbc43e
Ah sorry I should have mentioned that I do not want TPU cases. I have 2 of them already and I don't like TPU cases as they bend and can be "pressed" away.

lol, you do realize that the ultra capsule that "you exactly want" is Made from 100% TPU material. look at the information on the website itself. anyway, the closest thing i know that makes that is the mercury tpu case here (i own a white one- it's definitely a great tpu- not flexible like the cruzerlite cases- its a harder tpu for sure -very similar to the ultra capsule (i owned two for my galaxy note 1)): http://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Flexi...053&sr=1-2&keywords=mercury+tpu+galaxy+note+2
Case Mate Tough....slim but provides good protection. Inner layer is a TPU bumper with a hard shell.

that Spigen Note 1 case is TPU.
"SGP's Ultra Capsule case not only enhances the look of your device but also protects your phone from scratches and drops. It is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a very tough and flexible material. It can be twisted freely but will never stretch, deform, or rip."
If you want a non-TPU case that covers the corners and edges your options are: Speck, UAG, Otterbox, Duzign, Seido, Body Glove, and Case Mate.
I purchased the one in the link below. Very happy with it.

How 'bout the Galaxy Note II Body Glove Diamond Shell Case?
Any suggestions about fully transparent TPU cases, but without ruining the infrared ?
Thank you.

I would strongly recommend BASEUS Air Case. I have been using it for 3 weeks and I am very pleased with it. It is only 0.6mm and protects both phone and its appearance . Since its a soft case, does not scratch the phone body.
There are some sellers at ebay with the unit price between $3.90 and $8.90.

Do you have any images of the case on your phone?
I probably won't get it since it's a glossy material on the inside, which would make it stick to my Xtremeguard, but I'm curious as to the fit of it on the phone.

Looking great, exactly what I've been searchng for
EDIT: lol I discovered now that I've already ordered this case on eBay ! But "BASEUS" isn't named right in the title so I haven't noticed it
i ordered my baseus case..was a lil worried but the tracking finally showed up...i should have it in a week or so..for now im rocking my spigen capsule ..but i want a thinner case
I ordered the Baseus ultra thin TPU case and other 2 clear cases:
Clear Hybrid PC Cover With Black TPU Frame (similar to the AmCase I believe, hard plastic with TPU Bumper)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...998769&alt=web
NEW ULTRA THIN CRYSTAL CLEAR HARD CASE (similar to the Case-Mate Barely There, I believe, only hard plastic)
http://pages.ebay.com/link/?nav=item...441622&alt=web
They are all very cheap, all three cases togheter cost less than the Case-Mate Barely there, for instance. Any of you guys have somethig similar?
Also ordered an glass screen protector from Aliexpress, 5 dollars shipped (Dont pay more than that, the brand ones are the same, your only paying marketing costs..)
I will post my opinion when I get them. I hope I like at least one of them
Cheers
i had a transparent case...and it turned yellow with time, bought it on ebay for 2$ though... but my recomendation dont buy that hh :laugh:
So I ordered one of those knox armor cases for $14 off Amazon. They're similar looking to the Otterbox and offer similar protection. Only thing is they don't have a built in protector but that's not a big deal because I have tempered glass on mine.
Only think I really don't like is just like the Otterbox Defender, the rubber near the home key tends to work a little loose after riding around in my pocket.
The rubber around it seems a bit more dense so hopefully it last longer than the Defenders. After just a couple months my Defenders always become looser due to the rubber wearing.
It's not the best case but for $14 bucks I'll take it over a Defender though. It provides more protection than the Supcase too. Only other durable case I can think of that is more durable than this is my Poetic Revolution which I love but it's huge and doesn't work with wireless charging like this one does

This is probably the best case in amazon I've had it since I've had my phone along with the built in screen protector I use tempered glass. I do construction and I wear my 800$ phone on my tool belt with confidence. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B013D...+belt+clip&dpPl=1&dpID=51PBx5XllCL&ref=plSrch

I got a Supcase. I like the built in screen protector on it but it is a it thin for my liking. I think the best case for being really rugged is the Poetic Revolution but it is kind of over kill but a great case. Again for max protection Supcase is like commuter case to me. The Ulak case is thick and feels more like a Defender. If Ulak case wears like the Otterbox I'll probably rip the temperd glass off and go back to Supcase or the P

To each his own but I'll go to bat for the unicorn beetle. I v dropped it plenty of times and not even the tempered glass has broken yet..... knock on wood. The buttons work great and it has a belt clip. Can't beat that in my book
I've got the ulak, and I really like it. I was going to get the supcase, but I REALLY don't like built in screen protectors.

I like the built in one on the supcase. It isn't like Otterbox. It fits flush so dirt doesn't get under it. However the Supcase is stiff and too thin for my liking for drop protection. The Ulak seems good. Even if it only last 6 months it was only 14 bucks. My otterBox after 3 months was wearing a lot so I bought other cases. Waste of 50 bucks. My next Note phone I'll order some Amazon cases a few days before I buy the phone so I'm not suckered into buying otterboxes.
I have and use the supcase daily. I love the fit and finish you can definitely tell it's a well made piece. I did also grab one of the Knox armor cases too for around 3 dollars with a coupon code from amazon. Side by side it's easy to tell the supcase built much better. As far as drop protection goes between the two I have no idea, but I have dropped my note a couple times so far. I have yet to actually put the ulak case on, never found a reason to take the supcase off

The Supcase the phone feels kind of thin to grip. Maybe it's because I'm so used to using Otterbox Defender and Poetic Revolution cases. I always thought the Note 5 was a bit thin to grip.
Another good case to check out is the Artech 21. I like the Supcase but it just seems a bit too thin especially with all the glass on this phone. That is why I went with the Ulak. So far after a week it's still holding up well compared to the Defender I have.
Hi, i`ve been searching for a transparent case for OP3. I want to buy the soft gold version, it looks really beauty. I don`t like to buy a beautyful phone to cover with a case and looks like any other phone. But i priorize protection too. I found a transparent case by Nilkin at AliExpress, but i don`t know if it`s a good case. What do you recommend?
Orzly Flexicase
The best transparent case which is also still pretty protective is probably the ringke fusion
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01HBZYWLE/
i agree with the orzly flex case, it does not give much bulk but can protect too

Ringke fusion is an amazing case for the money. I'm rocking it right now. I got the Pleson TPU case initially, but this Ringke just blows it out of the water. Very very well thought out. Probably the best TPU case I've ever owned for any phone. I religiously buy TPU as I have found it protects phones much better than any Otterbox, or anything with a "hard" cover. The hard covers all create a much higher impact in my personal opinion on the phone. The TPU absorbs the impact, instead of transferring it into the device. Never broke a single screen/phone wearing a TPU case, and I'm rough with my phones. I take them dirt biking on trails and on the MX course. I've crashed countless times. Never had a single issue.
The only thing a TPU case can't protect you from, is getting drunk and getting in the river and forgetting your phone was in your pocket. I'll miss you 1+1, I'll never forget you....
edit: hey, i'm in ATX too! hello 1+3 friend

hello from ATX! I had the pleson (clear) case first too, and while it's a great looking case I agree the best TPU slim case I've found is the Ringke one so far as well (and i've tried a good handful...)
I have the Orzly flexicase. It's look and feel is just great.
I've got the Pleson and the Ringke. It took some getting used to but I like my Ringke one more, harder plastic on back with tpu sides is nice
I have the Orzly Flexicase also. Love it. It isn't too thin or thick. I dropped my phone numerous times already. Haven't damaged it yet. (knock on wood)
I have a nillkin nature case since november, it's still great, not any scratch and protects my phone well, but it is becoming "yellowish", it's not as transparent as on the beginning.
Nillkins transparent tpu case is great. I"ve been using it since a few months. It's super slim compared to my other noname TPU case, has great grip dou to its sides. I've been using a case like this on my last 2 phones, will get one for the next one for sure.
I'm using stock just fine.
I am using Ringke fusion, it's nice but the rear is a fingerprint magnet.. It is getting dirty very fast.
I've bought orzly flexicase, will compare it with the Ringke one when I receive it.
Also for me the best is the Nillkin tpu case, very slim and transparent that show the device without cover it.
That cover have also a protection for the hole of type c cable.
For me official curved tempered glass with poetic affinity case is perfect
I have the spigen ultra hybrid and it's great. Also fits snugly with the orzly tgsp, no issues.

I've been using the official transparent case from OnePLus and it's good. No yellowish tint so far in 5 months.
I'm using spigen hybrid ultra clear case and it's incredible, fits really well and dust doesn't get under the case. Really good.
Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.
I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.
I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

It wouldn't be as good as the bigger cases but I don't think it would do that badly... Spigen make good cases.
Yeah the sides I don't really notice.. Its probably one of only types of case out currently like this, the rest are a little bigger and bulky

I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and it is pretty good.
However the Samsung Clear Cover Case is far superior and you don't even notice it is there
Something about clear cases that I don't like. On the sides it looks weird. I have a clear one but it's just clear on the back the sides are colored.

It fits with dome glass. Just got done installing mine. Lots of room.
I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.
I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.
I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!
