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.

Bought a $3 TPU case off ebay. Thin and protective and looks great.

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!
Came across this on Thursday whilst researching cases. I've never ordered from this place, but this case sells for $30 everywhere else.

I just posted a question in the Q&A forum...how non-slip is this case? I'm looking for a minimalist case with excellent non-slip properties.

the texture is on the sides of the case in this version. super grippy.
I know a lot of people seem to like this case but seriously I think that it's overrated. I bought it from a T-Mobile store and returned it within 15 minutes. It simply is not grippy enough on the back side. If you rest your fingers on the back side while you use your thumb for actions the whole phone slides around if you shake a bit. The only ones that are grippy this way are the ones that have a smooth plastic surface on the back. The Samsung oem case is like that and my current favorite the case-mate pop. I have yet to find a better case than that and I have already bought 15 cases including the seidio surface, nillkin, the Samsung flip and oem... The body glove is just too thin and the protection it provides is just too minimal. Everybody has different preferences of course but imho you can do better with your money than the body glove....

Thanks OP! I was looking for the best price on this case, and this place won me over. Shipping is 16-21 days, but I'll put my patience hat on until then
Tempting to buy this case now:laugh:
Most places are having these on sale now?
http://www.wirelessground.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-ii-body-glove-dimensions-case-black.html $14.95
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-9310601-Dimensions-Samsung/dp/B00A87K5SW/ref=pd_sim_cps_2 from $11.98
This is the case I have been using since I got my note. It is pretty thin but well protected. Good deal.
I bought the other body glove case from a Sprint store. If it's the same material, I found it to be too slippery. Using it with one hand while trying to reach around the screen with my thumb felt like I might drop it. I like the case as it seems like good protection, but I would want to add the fly grip to the back of it to secure it in my hand.
Is there anything comparable to an Otterbox defender, for half the price?
I have spent the last 3 days searching google and here for a rugged case. I don't really like the designs of the Ballistic, and other generic ebay cases that are a silicone sleeve with a plastic snap on piece behind it, but I would settle for one if I could find one without a dang kickstand/belt clip.
Thanks to anyone who helps.

In the same boat here. Right now, I have a TPU case from ebay (search: "jolt case note 2") in all black. Nice one-piece case, fit is good, protects the phone well (accidentally tested a few times) and no problems with the buttons. But, I don't need the kickstand, and wanted something a little sleeker without losing protection. I wouldn't say it's 100% comparable to the Defender, but I wound up getting the Incipio Dual Pro, still waiting for it to arrive. It is a two piece case, but it looks good to me and is definitely not as offensive as some of the ebay cheapies. Search this forum for "incipio" and ebay for "incipio dual pro note 2".
If you are looking for a case with a built-in plastic screen protector, the the Defender may be your best bet.
personally...after $100+ in generic cases and being unhappy wih them I ended just getting the defender

Wow $100? I thought my 3 cases and dock I'm not gonna use for $30 was a lot.
Portenzo, a premium case manufacturer, just released their cases for the Nexus 10 today. I have the BookCase for my Nexus 7 and love it. I'll probably be ordering one for my 10 soon. http://shop.portenzo.com/nexus-10/
Oh ho.... So tempting. Just concerned about the lack of a Pogo opening... How hard is it to insert/remove? Would it hold its grip after being removed/inserted many times over?

Good News
Finally a quality case for the Nexus 10...I'm tired of the cheap stuff on Amazon..:victory:
Cases on Amazon are cheap but they work. How can anyone justify paying $110 for a case? I'd rather buy a Moko case for $6 and invest the remaining $104 on my next toy.

Agreed, I think that's ridiculous and they don't even look that great. That's just an opinion though
I've been waiting for either this or the never-will-be-released-by-google case that you see in the official videos. I can't justify spending over a hundred dollars, but I'll definitely be getting the standard book case.
I was reading that Google is looking to open some retail stores.... Given the fact that they release next to no accessories for their Nexus products, I'm trying to figure out how these stores won't be barren wastelands with just a few phones and tablets on display.
Looks nice but I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it is

I 100% agree with you. I use the Moko ultra slim (currently $5.99 on Amazon) and it's fantastic. To each his own I guess.
I am certainly considering getting the leather case for it.
I am more wondering if the next Nexus 10 will have similar dimensions that I can just reuse this case for.
What do you guys think the odds are that google will change the dimensions of their next 10.1 device or two?
This case has the gel inside the corners to hold the tablet in place, I would venture you could put something smaller in there and the gel would still allow for a relatively snug fit.
Good lord. More than a hundred for a case? I bought my used 32gb nexus 7 for 175. I got two Moko cases for 12 bucks.

That thing is an inch thick. Why? Might as well carry a leather binder and just throw the tablet in there. Then you at least have some business cards, a pen, etc.

The tablet sits in a wood base, that's probably why it is so thick.

I sooooo want one, but I configured it up past $180!
I purchased one yesterday. Decided to get the bookcase over the leather one.
The leather looked amazing, but I felt I would get more bang for my buck with the bookcase.
At first I thought the bookcase was made of the fake pleather that most other cases has, but really, its meant to be built just like a hardcover book which is pretty cool.
When I get it I will let you guys know what I think.
I look at it this way. Just to get an opening for the camera costs the same as my perfectly functional poetic slimline....
.....I'll pass
Just got mine today...VERY nice case...it is the quality I was looking for in a case. The Nexus fits snugly with no problems and all the buttons and ports are accessible. If you can get passed the price you won't be disappointed...

what about the pogo charger port? is the port usable on the portenzo case? need to know for this is the deal breaker for me.
Hi, I'm buying a G2 and was browsing the cases that are available for it. I don't like any of them - they make the phone extremely ugly and bulky IMO. I like spigen cases, but they only have the slim armor, which is maybe the least ugly of all, but still would love to see something similar to the Hybrid Neo. Any idea if such a case actually exists (stylish and protective). I really like cases that provide good grip too.
Incipio Feather Shine?
Doubt it'll offer much protection though.
Have you seen the ringke slim yet? It's, like it's name implies, super slim, and has a nexus 5 feel.

5$ eBay leather pouch. Slim, protective, hassle free, still makes your phone not look like a 400$ brick. Take it out, use it, put it back in.
Most of the slim cases will give you protection to the back side at best, while screen, the most important part, stays unprotected.

Honestly, the dual pro as a pretty thin profile considering how much protection it offers. Slight increase in size but not an uncomfortable increase

After trying a few of the most popular cases on Amazon I ended on the Spigen SlimArmor. It's by far my favorite case for the G2 I've found. It's pretty slim, makes it feel and look premium with the metalish back, and protects the front with the little lip. I've dropped the phone a few times to and it seems to be doing a great job protecting it and the screen. Plus I really like the color. Everything I want and needed.
Only con I have found is the head phone port is really small and most plugs do not fit.
Still has my vote!

It' s gonna be the melody or dual pro. The spigen is interesting too, but i heard it won't help if you drop it on the front
How wide and thick is the slim armor ?

I cant find this case for the verzion version do u have a link?
I was huntig a slim case. And I mean slim like ultra super so I looked at skins and remembered that I had a roll of vinyl veneer lying around.
It is protective, not adding any bulk at all and looks quite good according to all who sees it.
Had a quickviewcase but its like dragging around a flappy brick and it´s not preserving the slim design of the phone.
The veneer is not lasercut with precision (used a sharp blade and a hairdryer) and it is a first attempt with what I had at home.
I cannot add links to pics
I use Poetic Palette. Real slim.First time holding it. Its so smooth, could slide of my hand, but overtime is good. I guess, i got used to it.:fingers-crossed:

The slim armor doesn't add much, but it is noticeable. I recently purchased the diztronic and while it is very slim, it's a complete POS. It doesn't even fit the phone properly, I can literally jiggle the phone around inside of the diztronic.
I like the Speck Candyshell. It's a little pricey but it fits great, has a nice low profile and makes the phone feel protected. I'm also rockin the Cruzerlite Bugdroid case. It's very low profile & fits like a glove.

I would recommend to have a look at the Cruzerlite Bugdroid Case. It protects the phone fantastic and and has a nice grip to hold the phone. Also there is a nice Android art at the back of the case.
Phone with that case doesn't look too bulky at all. For me it looks slim enough.

I am actually considering that too now.
I just ordered a bumper - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/261363558729?var=560265202779&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Now I'm looking at the cruizerlite , this one and this one
The cruizerlite is a safe bet I guess. What do you think about color - I have a white G2, so maybe the clear case will be the best.
Oh, and one more thing - I have the D802, but don't know what the differences are between sprint/t-mobile, AT&T and D802. I understand that Verizon version is completely different, but how about the others. What model sold in the US us similar to my D802
