I installed the Skinomi clear matte skin on the back a few days ago. I'm really not a fan of how the back glass feels. It's slippery, attracts fingerprints, and gets slimey.
Personally, installing this has made the phone feel so much better. Plus, if you're going caseless like me, you mostly retain the original look of the phone.
For the most part, I did a decent job installing it. I put too much pressure on some parts when getting the bubbles out and dented the skin (it's wet install). Those are the odd looking spots in the pictures. Otherwise, all the bubbles came out over night. It also comes with clear matte sides and a font screen protector, which I don't plan on ever putting on. I recommend this is you're not a fan of the glass feel!
Edit: Here's a video that seoulbrova did of the clear skin (non-matte) https://youtu.be/K1kA2rK4y7k
Wow. I actually like the matte look a lot better. I might have to get me one of these.
Thank you!
Wow looks great I like it. Might have to do it too. Thanks.

Are you getting a substantial amount of grip from the skin? Its my biggest concern. I hate cases and even more so on big phones because the width is right where I max out now and a case kills the perfection of the width to body ratio. I saw the Sammy clear case with just corners but frankly the corners still look annoying, large and the clear case doesn't add much grip which is my entire issue.

I wouldn't say substantial, but it makes a difference. I would compare it to the back of the G4, but without the diamond pattern.

Do you feel like this is enough to give you the confidence to wheel it around one handed with no case?

Yes, but I was doing one handed without the skin too. I use pie control to put the home, back, and multitasking in the sides so I don't have to do hand gymnastics to get to the bottom of the phone. This way I can hold it so maybe 80% of the screen is accessible one handed. I think stretching your fingers to reach parts of the phone will lead to more accidental drops.

It doesn't add grip like the feeling of the Note 4, but it adds enough to make me feel much more comfortable when holding it. I compare it to the smoother matte back of the G4.
Yeah,it's cool. It doesn't look like it's on there. Great job! This is what I've been looking for. Thanks OP

It adds significant grip imo. You can see how I turn it to show that it doesn't slip off. It reminds me of tackiness on football gloves.

Nice video. I added the link into the OP. Hope you don't mind. I wonder how the matte skin vs the clear skin compares in grip.
I've received mine on Thursday, it's been on the phone for 2 days now.
The fit could be better, and the edges tend to collect dust but it does look quite nice.
The texture is not tacky and reminds me of matte polycarbonate.

Try a full body skin. I had a carbon fiber one that added some grip, but removed it. ...I didn't like the carbon fiber around the edges of the phone. I'm currently using the Spigen Matte full body skin. It adds some grip on my opinion, butsome may say it didn't add enough. Just my pinion of course.

First thing I do to any new phone (or laptop) is throw a couple egrip strips on the back... incredible traction...nothing slimmer...never need a case cause it doesnt slip out of your hands!
www.egrips.com
until i found a case i liked, i applied a generic, large, clear Zagg screen protector to the battery cover. i had to use 2 pieces and it was not an exact fit, but there was enough coverage to make it less slippery.
Try using flygrip
Just Google and YouTube "flygrip galaxy note 2".
I've been using this thing for almost a week now on my note 2. It's amazing.
flygrip is to big and doesn't allow the use of a case if needed. Great idea but dumb product for $30

Because of my limited number of posts I'm not allowed to include a link. The company/brand is PLAST-DIP. You'll be looking for the Clear in a spray can. If you'd like to get creative they also offer an assortment of colors and "smokes" that make a translucent effect.
Hope that helps!

Does this type of spray grip tend to peel or scale easily with everyday usage? I was thinking of something to add more grip to my otterbox commuter case which tends to be on the slippery side. Is it easily removeable if needed and does it attract lint/dirt/etc?

Hey guys! Made a quick video review of a new case I just got in today. It's like Samsung's Flip Case, but with some added protection and a magnet that keeps it from moving and opening up when you don't want it to. Definitely recommend it!
Sorry for the random black spots during transitions, still new to this! I also need a DSLR camera and better tripod, haha.

Yes, was thinking about this. Love my current Samsung Flip case but the lack of corner drop protection does make me a bit paranoid. I really wish someone made a case like this with a kickstand.

Does the back feel cheap at all? I'm kind of a branding snob. Does the generic look take away from the quality? How does the hinge hold up when you fold the top back? Does it fold back completely and easily?

Nope, the magnet is to the side of the screen, so no interference at all. And the link to do the case is in the info on youtube. Just click to expand. I'll post it on here soon, too.
One issue, though, is it can be a bit difficult to grab the Spen, so if you use it often, that could be an annoyance.

I have exactly the same case, but I would not call it luxury, either from the price (I paid $7 on ebay) or the quality.
OP's case does looks nicer and more premium than my similar case, mine even has Samsung on the metal magnet clip on the cover, but looks and feels like total crap, tossed it to the trash can as soon as I got it.
I'm currently waiting for Amigo flip case, looks super nice from the pic, no magnet though.

There's a few other listings of "luxury" cases
that look similar but aren't the same. If it I'd the same though, I guess it could be a matter of personal preference? I personally love the soft, textured feel of the case. Feels quite nice to hold.

I have the same case as the OP and didn't notice until watching his video that the blue on the latch is only protective tape. I peeled it off and now it's a nice stainless/chrome look.
I can only grab the S-Pen with my little fingernail, but it should be easy enough to cut/file/Dremel the slot a little bigger if it's enough of a problem.

Useful review. Case looks nice, but sadly, once again they forgot to have a cutout for the notification LED. I'd also prefer cutouts for better access to the volume buttons, as I use those a lot as shortcuts and when playing audio (with cases closed).
Most (or all cases ignore this however, especially the LED hole). And it should have a larger SPen cutout like this one. But looks ok for the price.

I agree, having that would be very nice. I may have my dad just got one out himself, actually. I mean sometimes its nice cause I don't always like to see if I have a notification, but for that I could just turn the case over. And with the cover I wouldn't have to worry about getting any scratches.

Mine is plain hard plastic. Part of one corner is gone due to a drop from less than two feet.
Owned this for 2 weeks until it started affecting the spen area around the magnet. no biggie if you dont use the spen just something to consider.
I've got the Case-Mate Tough Case and even though it has the little bump pattern on it it's way too slippery... it's not rubbery feeling like it looks in the pictures...
And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)
Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .
First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

I saw meenova, personally I think it will fit ok, its only 1 mm of rubber
Okay thanks for the input citytrader. So if I decided to buy incipio then on their site which carriers should I choose?

I bought it at ebay at this dealer:
http://www.ebay.com/usr/cellcase4u
My experience was great, my cover arrived to Mexico in 6 days, very fast.
Personally I think that any cover that fits G2 T-Mobile, AT&T or Sprint will fit D802.
The customer support of INCIPIO is horrible, I dont understand why because the case is nice, not bulky like Otterbox, I think is enough to protect the phone.
Try to check at ebay or ask directly to INCIPIO where to buy the DUALPRO T- MOBILE variant, the models I saw are colored, personally I prefer black, but is matter of taste!
Okay... thanks.. will contact the seller then

Yikes, seems like the rubber portion attracts lots of dust/lint (top/bottom) of your pics. Maybe I should get the Spigen instead to avoid that.

It attacts not lot of dust, in the picture seems worse than really it is, if you pass your hand you will clean it easy.
Personally I dont like the Spigen because its bigger and the hole in the flash is so small that could affect the beam and personally I like more the black mate back of Incipio.

Good point about the flash. I read about it earlier somewhere on this forum, but I didn't think much of it. If the flash isn't properly dispersed, it may very well affect picture quality.
I'm planning on getting the white dual pro to match my white G2 that I'll be ordering soon. Hopefully the grey rubber bottom doesn't show dust/lint as much. I'm mainly concerned not with it being there, but that it might constantly be getting on my hands and may make the case slightly difficult to hold (I had a TPU silicon case for an iPod Touch one time and it was terrible with lint).
Do you think there's enough room on the sides of the case to have a tempered glass screen protector there without experiencing any lifting?

Most of the case is plastic and from my point of view this case is optimal because it does not slip from my hands.
About tempered glass, totally useless in phones with Gorilla Glass and total waste of money, for one side, this type of screen (Gorilla glass) never get an scratch with normal use, for the other this kind of screen degrades the clarity of the G2's wonderfull screen.
I have a Galaxy S2 for two year and still I see one scratch, of course maybe you will found something if you look at the microscope hehehe.... but from the normal eye sight, there is nothing and this is what matter most.

Yea, most likely one doesn't need a screen protector, but even with gorilla glass, I would feel more comfortable with one on there. Never know when I may drop the phone by accident and any additional protection helps. I don't particularly like to see any scratches on my screens, so I know it would bother me if there was on there.
Also, I'd probably get a higher resale value for keeping it in better condition!
Any experience with this case? I like the look but cannot find a single review

That's kind of the point of a case; in order to protect the phone, it needs to cover it. Ringke, like other companies make clear cases if you don't want to "hide" the phone. I don't think the case is visually stunning, but it is interesting.
Well I finally got mine along with the crystal, and another from Vena. Of the three, I like the Onyx the most. But that is not saying much. It has the highest front lip to protect the screen and looks better than in photos. But it does not provide a lot of protection. It is a semi-rigid material, not rubbery, so it is a little slippery when put on a table. But on the hand not so much because of the grooves and brushed metal style surface. It also interferes with my film screen protector. I had to cut around the edges of it, so that the cover would not peel it from the phone. Material seems good quality also. All said, it is just, ok. Moderate protection. Wish it came in other colors. And for now will be my daily case, until I find something better.
Edited to add pictures.

I posted a review of it in my case OP (see my signsture for the link). It's not exactly what I was hoping for to be honest.
