Hey fellas,
I usually post my reviews on the S3 forums, but recently got my hands on a Note 2 for a few days and wanted to throw some coverage up. I got my hands on the Rearth Ringke Slim Lite, which is an ultra slim polycarbonate case that snaps on the back of your Note 2, providing scratch protection to the back and sides. The rear features a matte coating, which helps provide grip to minimize drops. At 11$, the case is well priced and is made well, the ports and cutouts all line up perfectly.
Check out the full review below and ask any questions, I'm here to help:
Good review! Thanks
:good:
thanks, very informative review
just waiting on my nillkin to arrive but i might have to order this instead
Glad to help out guys. I have videos on the SGP Ultra Crystal clear and a few folio cases coming soon.
I notice with most of the snap on cases for Note 2, the top/bottom front edges seem like they are exposed on impact because the lips taper off instead of going all the way around the corners.
Is that the case with the Ringke too? Hard to tell from the video (watched on mute).
Now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is out and about, we're interested in learning what cases you're after (or currently using) to protect it from damage. It doesn't matter what style — flip cover, full body film, hybrid case or skin case — we want to know your favorites. Following this thread will be our "Best cases for the Galaxy S6 Edge" article that will encompass what our community has deemed worthy above the rest, so share your opinions because they matter!
Pelican Protector Case
I have the Pelican protector case specifically made for the S6 edge. While both the Pelican S6 and S6 edge cases fit my phone, the S6 case covered part of the edge notifications. The Pelican case is solid and lightweight, and most importantly, after a couple drops, my phone remains intact.
Does it reduce the mobile signal?
I like the Spigen Rugged Armor the most. Thin and has a nice feel in hand.
Spigen neo hybrid is great! I had the official samsung clear case which was nice but offered very little protection! The neo hybrid is great looking (some people may find it even adds to how the phone looks) Cut outs are done to perfection. Buttons work flawlessly despite being covered. It fits snug and feels solid as well! I honestly NEVER leave a case on . Anytime i buy a new phone i always buy a case and within a week i take it off because i just don't like the feel, the look , the bulk etc This is the first case i have ever bought that iam happy to leave on
im using this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-S6-E...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ede69779b
and its really really good. i have dropped its 3 times, and nothing happend. really good product by spigen.

Nope, my signal is great!
Obliq Slim Meta Case
I am currently using the obliq slim meta case. Its relatively inexpensive $15 on amazon and it arrived in less than 4 days (im located in southern california; LA to be specific).
Its not so much for protection against drops but I love it because it protects that AWFUL camera hump and the lip on the front edge protects the screen if i were to place it face down.
super stylish as well. I cant post a link to it because i am a new member but its easy to find on amazon

Love this case!
I use the Urban Armor Gear and I love it! Dropped my phone many times and this case saved it many times! I like that its see thru and has a pretty nice design on the back. By far the best slimish case I've owned for a phone!

That case is great the only thing that pulls me away is indeed the price, I would love to try it. At the moment my favorite one is ringke slim

My favorite case is my still my first case and that is the Spigen Neo Hybrid!
Anyone run a very minimal case? I don't want to add heft. I usually just use a screen protector, but otherwise naked.

Obliq dual poly: $15 comes with 3 colored accents, and it looks great.
PS I can wirelessly charge with it on also

I run just a slickwrap skin. I got the Obliq for my wife and it is very minimal but I like the wrap with a screen protector better.
one more vote for ringke fusion
Shumuri slim extra for me, should get it soon

Ringke SLIM case is simply beauty. No more worried on fingerprint.
Spigen Neo Hybrid for me too. I really like it. Feels great. Tight fit. Raised just enough to set the phone down either way and not scratch the screen or camera. Looks great.

I have this case, not currently using it due to it having no grip, really slippery, but it does look nice.
Sent in my phone because the charging port stopped working, and I'd like to buy a new case for my m8.
I am looking for something that looks decent and adds protection, with support for a tempered glass screen protectors.
I had a spigen case before this for a few months and the back is already scratched and looks very unappealing now.
Does anybody have recommendations?
I've always been a fan of UAG cases aka urban armor gear http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/.
Every so often they have specials going on as well.
I've been very happy with my Trident Aegis case. $20 on Amazon and offers excellent protection. I've dropped my phone several times and the case has held up well. I've had it nearly a year now with no issues.

This, I love my UAG case.
I have a ringke slim case black matte one from amazon... Been using it for a few months and works amazing! Catches mad oil though but one wipe and its clean
Otterbox symmetry
Check out the Amazon reviews.
I bought and reviewed 3 cases here in my post. I've since then ditched the dilex as it seems a bit bulky and have switched over to a black supcase unicorn beetle with a red body since i was replacing the usb/3.5mm board on my phone. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2728080 I hope that might be some help to you.
spigen hybrid. transparent, great materials, very strong
Yup, i think UAG has one of the nicest looking tough case out there.
Hi guy's thanks for stopping by, this is my Review of the Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal for the Samsung Galaxy S7 Edge. Great case and I would highly recommend it.

Well subscribe to my YouTube channel. I will be reviewing case's from cover up which have genuine wood backs. Carbon fibre cases from evutec, Uag, casemate, Ballistic cases, VRS cases etc I hope you all enjoy ?
Great videos, do you think the spigen rugged armor would fit with a full coverage temepred glass? or shall i get a tempered glass which only protects the 'front' ?

Hi thanks for the kind words, I doubt it would fit with the full body protection. It might but the case won't fit correctly. That's the curse of the edge screen, it would also depend on the thickness of the glass, 0.33 is a no in my honest opinion. I will try it out as I am waiting for a full body protector, subscribe to my channel as I will make a video on it on YouTube plus I have loads more case's coming up.

I normally buy an OEM case for my phones but so far I am not over taken by the offerings on the Google store.
So do you normally get a case for your phone? If so which one?
Or do you not bother with a case and just go "vanilla"?
Let me know your thoughts and if you can lets see some pictures of your case if you have one.
I usually just get the google case. Don't go "vanilla". If you drop it you'll probably have to pay more than triple of what the case just cost from the beginning.

I normally go for a OEM case (Google one) but they do not seem to have anything that appeals to me this year.
I will not being vanilla though and will get case eventually.

Not sure what to tell you... works for me. Its a Caseology Athlex.

I see what you did there
Is there any chance you guys can post the weight of your cases? This is the one I ordered. I'll post its weight when it arrives. Thanks

I ordered these two on Friday. The thin one for everyday use, and thick one for when I'm going to be out doing something hardy.

Spigen Liquid Air now and probably will buy a Matte Black dbrand Grip later. I bought a black leather skin with my Pixel 6 Grip case, but the skin it's so thin and isn't very durable. The Grip case itself is great.
I went with the Caseology Athlex. I am a bit hard on phones, so I will probably get a UAG case as well if/when they come out with some more selection than the Scout. They always have my favorite cases as they offer good protection with a slim profile.
Edit: I cancelled my order and ordered the UAG Scout...

and these screen protectors....

I don't like the notch for the camera, but it has the oleo-phobic coating.
I have been really happy with the "Poetic" cases from Amazon. They started copying the Supcase Unicorn Beetle's and now design their own. Excellent protection. I also had an issue with one and they sent me 2 for free with no hassle.

How much thickness does the case and screen add on?
Quite a bit. That model is not petite.
Are there any cases with inbuilt stands besides Spigen and the cheap aliexpress options?
I'm unfamiliar with the 'Poetic Revolution' cases - are they as durable as Spigen?
I'm getting a Gadgetsdhieldz screen guard and Spigen Thin Fit Case! Hope this will be a good fit...
Caseology Parallax looks and feels great on this device, if anyone is curious about one. I've always been a Spigen user, but the grip and colorway on this case have won me over.
Ordered the Spigen rugged case and glass protector off Amazon.
I got a Spigen Thin Fit Case in black for now.
The case may well change in the coming weeks.
