Best skin for Galaxy Note 2 - Galaxy Note II Accessories

So I recently picked up a new skin for my GN2. I have never been a big fan of cases, they seem to just as bulk. But I do like a bit of scratch protection for my screen and the back of the phone.
I purchased the Skinomi Techskin kit for my Note 2 and like it so much I put one on my Shield tablet as well.

However they are cheaper on Amazon normally right around $15 it includes the screen protector and the skin.

zagg invisibleshield

anyone know if they are going to make one for note 2
Have you tried contacting them? Usually they won't have one until it is released in the US.

yes fired them an email today
They put protector tint on my ex galaxy s III back door. It was excellent job.
Is it worth using it instead of a case for body protection?
I haven't used any zagg shields before but à friend of mine had one on his nexus one, and it was looking awful..

In the Galaxy Note 10.1 forums, many complain that the Zagg feels terrible with the rubbery S Pen tip. Drags a lot, they recommended those crystal clear ones like those from ClearPlex. I dont think they have one for the note II yet tho.

There are a number of them available from Amazon. The Galaxy Note Zagg/BodyGuardz had the same issue.

Zagg sucks go for a Glas.T when they're out or if u can't wait go for the crystal Spigen available on amazon right now

I hope best skins ever make one for note 2 I allways use them much better than zagg and cheaper.
If I'm not mistaken, doesn't the user manual recommend NOT using a screen protector? Something about it interfering with the S-Pen.
But yeah, I'd go with something other than the invisibleshield, as stated above it adds a lot of friction (in my experience) and you get a sort of orange-peel effect.
FYI looks like they ship 10/24-10/26 for those who were waiting

Ok, call me crazy, but I find myself wondering how much use I will get out of the pen. I am used to android and navigating with my fingers. As well my ipad too.
What about the zagg HD it feels just like glass compared to normal or anti-glare zagg I don't think it will feel too rubbery. I've had zagg since my hero days and I love them. I'm waiting for US release of GN2 and I'm pretty sure I'm going to get zagg HD for it as long as one comes out for it. I'll report back and let you guys know how it is.

I have ordered Xtreme Guard shield for my GN2. I used them on my GS3 as well and price is reasonable.

Anyone ever use Skinomi? I have a friend that always uses Skinomi screen protectors (and a full body guard once I believe) and always gets a PDAir case. I've never used them, but he swears by them.

In my experience the Xtremeguard quality was less than stellar. I've tried a few wet application urethane manufacturers and found the Xoskins were excellent with good customer support, but they are more expensive.

As an FYI, the skin protectors are good against scratches not drops. I know it's common sense but I had a perfectly self applied zagg shield on my Nexus One and it fell off my night stand and the screen broke. After that I went out and bought a Seidio Surface Case and haven't looked back.
They had a Zagg skin on the display model of the original note I tried out at Target and it really didn't work very well with the S-pen, as stated too much drag, felt awful. Something between that feel and the too slick feel of the naked screen would be perfect. I thought I had that right after applying the Spigen Ultra Crystal, it was just right initially but it became as slick as the glass after a little finger oil accumulated.
Keep away from this guys the zagg for note2 really not good i hv bought one from bestbuy before yesterday and i have regret to buy, toutching is not good, all not good at all, i just west 27 usd for nothing, ill go and buy sgp from amazon

Cases Available in US Stores?

I'm going to be picking up my Note 2 tomorrow. Does anyone know which cases are available at retailers? I'm really interested in a white body glove or the official samsung "Galaxy Note™ II Protective Cover +, WHITE"
I know I know, I can call in the morning, but it seems like asking employees over the phone is so hit or miss.
Thanks!
You can't find any here in Las Vegas. If you don't need one right away, go to the Samsung website and register your phone. A few minutes after doing that you'll get it email with a 50% off coupon code that's good for 1 month, the Samsung website has a couple cases you can order and get very cheap since you're getting 50% off. All the T Mobile stores here in Vegas said they won't be getting any cases until the middle of the month.

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.

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.

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.

Same here. Paired it with the Spigen UC screen protector which was a PITA to install on such a large screen!

Body glove shocksuit

Just got it from Amazon. Full protection I ordered the defender and beetle this one is slimmer than both. Really good grip and the dust protector flaps actually plug into the ports. It is also military spec approved. I don't have one with the phone in it yet and plastic screen protector is still on. I plan to remove the plastic because I have the nilkin glass. The case is not as heavy as the other two I have. Volume buttons are also easy to press and ir blaster is exactly the same as the otterbox

Hows it feel when the phones in it? I have the defender and like it so far, newer defenders are way better to me. But i wouldn't mind having different case i can use.
It feels solid around the sides with a softer back that's recessed. I also have the defender. I like both this one is just slimmer.

Does anyone make a full wrap for note 8?

I was trying to find a full clear skin or wrap but can't find one that covers the sides as well. Slick wraps has a naked skin, but only covers the back.

@billinaz thanks for the information. I ordered this to protect the Note 8 when I get it Tuesday. I'm a bit behind the power curve on accessories for the Note 8 as I was ramped up for the Essential Phone. However, that turned out to be a huge fiasco for me and still is for many others. Anyway, glad that is behind me and looking forward to give a Sammy product q try again as the last one was Note 4. Hope I can get used to Touch Wiz again. After Note 4 I went to Nexus 6P and then Pixel XL so I'm somewhat spoiled on easily rooted phones that get quick updates. Guess I'll just have to adjust to slower updates but hopefully a great camera and did miss the S pen. Going to try to go unrooted and see how it goes. If it goes bad I'll pass Note 8 to family member and pick up Pixel 2 XL.
