[Q] Incipio Feather Light Case?

Does anybody have this? It looks really sharp (and I'm about to order one) but the only thing holding me back is the top/bottom. It looks like it doesn't cover it properly. Whenever I've dropped a phone and got some scuffs, it's always the top and bottom that take the brunt of it.
If you have this case, could you post some pics? Or provide some insight to the protection? Here is a link to it on Amazon:

i had this case for a few weeks now. i'm pretty happy with it. phone sits nice and snug inside the case with a nice feel to the material and barely adds any dimensions it.
the front extends a bit past the edge of the phone so that its raised off your glass if put face down. the top and bottom is exposed but if it falls on any flat surface the edges of the case sticks out far enough that it'll hit the case first and not the phone itself. not sure if the case will pop out on a fall and don't intend to find out, but it fits snug enough that sometimes it takes the back battery door off when i remove the case. screen protector that comes with the case is complete junk.

Ok ok, I like. Can you post some pics? I've seen a bunch of pics online, but I want a clear view of the top and bottom.

Thanks for the link, just checked it out. I'm still torn. I absolutely LOVE the look and sleekness of it, but I know as soon as I buy it I'll drop my phone and scuff the top. This would anger me
I dropped my x2 three days after purchase and scuffed it all up right at the top. I haven't let this Bionic be naked once - it was covered before I left the store.
It's a damn shame too - because this phone is sexy naked.
Decisions decisions...

I have the Incipio Feather and didn't like how the phone was exposed on the bottom either. I also didn't like the feel of the phone at the bottom with the case on.
I bought a couple Cruzer Lite cases instead and really like them. Check Amazon.

I bought the incipio feather a few weeks ago and its by far the best case out there if you like to keep the curve of the phone and you dont want to add an siginificant bulk

Which Cruzer Lite cases did you get?

I for one, love the Feather case...but alas, I contacted Incipio and they have no plans to make one for the extended battery. Does anyone know of a case that is similar to the feather, but fits the extended battery?

I'm not a big big fan of cases. I had a Droid 1 with the Body Glove that gave really good protection but it made it really bulky and hard to get in and out of pockets. When I upgraded to the Droid X, I just got the full body invisiShield, which worked great but did not protect against drops and dents
The Bionic with the plastic full cover backing, I didn't think a full body invisiShield would have been the right choice to go (actually my friend has it and he has huge peeling problems). When I shopping amazon, I came across this TPU case, and for $9, it was worth a shot... It seriously was the best buy I could've ever made. When its on your phone, it is solid. It doesn't feel flexible and I haven't dropped my Bionic, yet. The backing is a nice matte black -- it has a very natural feel (like you don't have a case). It does add SLIGHT girth/weight, but its not at all cumbersome. The Bionic fits real snug and it lips around the edges in the front (you can set it down face down and the screen doesn't touch the table -- this is a huge convenience, one example would having your phone drop flat on the front side, given that there aren't any rocks or pointed objects (but if you dropped it even w/o the case, well same story...).
The best part, it fits in the Cardock PERFECTLY. Downside, it does not fit on the desk dock... but when I'm at home or at my desk... I rock my Bionic naked... and the case is flexible, so its easy to take off/on.

Thanks for the post - good read.
I researched the case you spoke of and it's very similar to the Verizon gel case I currently have. It definitely provides the right amount of protection, but I'm looking to get that "sexy naked feel" the unprotected Bionic provides.
Here is what I'm thinking. I'm going to order the matte black phantomskinz skin. Cover the top and bottom (the only parts exposed from the incipio feather case) and then rock the incipio. Might be slightly ghetto, but I'm sure I can get it looking good. That will give me the lightweight feel of the incipio case with some protection from nicks and scratches on the top and bottom.
I'll post pics when I make it happen.

I would definitely invest a little more for the balance of sexy and protection, this was just the quick fix for now but its turning into a permanence since it really tops the silicon gels.. pictures just don't do it justice.

I've just become a huge fan of TPU after picking this up. I'm not a big fan of high gloss or clear/patterned designs, the matte black is definitely a sexy finish.

You sure love your TPU. Lol. Few questions:
Have you seen the Verizon gel case that speak of?
How similar/different is it? Size wise? Obviously one is matte and one is glossy.
Just curious, cause that's what I rock, and from pics it seems the matte vs. glossy is the only real noticeable difference.

Yeah, when the Droid X came out, another friend of mine got the Verizon case at the store. The ones we are talking about are the silicone gel cases that are really flexible and rubbery. I would almost describe it as sticky as over time it gets softer and attracts more lint. These slip off the phone easily sometimes. The width that it adds is pretty minimal since it is a floppy material, and a hard shell case is just the opposite in that respect. The hard shell cases in my experience fit the phone real nice, and are not floppy at all, and add minimal width. When you drop a hard shell though, the hardshell cracks over time and it doesnt really distribute the shock. But its to your preference and likelihood of dropping your phone I guess. I'm just really backing how cheap the TPU cases are and how reliable the material is. It seriously is something you have to see to beleive. Let me know how the incipio is!

My gel case from Verizon does get very sticky and greasy. Makes me mad.

Update..
I just noticed my desk dock had a "padding"... it totally fits with this case on!

Got this case today.
Initial impressions:
*Absolutely love the thinness of it. It feels like I don't have a case on. Looks sharp.
CONS:
*No top and bottom protection (I knew this before purchase)
*Back gets smudgey

You know what I just realized? When I wrote this post, my phone was in a TPU case. Lol.
I got the smoky argyle one, and definitely loved the appearance and lightweight feel of it. I thought it felt a little janky by the power button (was pretty loose) and there were some leftover nubs from where it was cut - clearly visible against the black background of the screen.
I got some black sandpaper and sanded it down, but it left the case looking like garbage. I got it for $2.95 + $2.95 shipping, so I'm not complaining. I might end up ordering another.

I just got this case, iridescent red one, I agree the top and bottom is exposed but the look and feel of it is very nice. It is very sexy looking as well, doesn't cover anything that shouldn't be covered like holes etc.
The main reason I got this one was that someone said it would fit in the Moto car dock, and it does. However, if I hit a bump some times it pops up justttttt enough to stop charging. Pop it back down and it stays for a while again.
Funny no one else ever mentions this but I live in Florida, and every single black droid I have owned (1, 2, 2global, and now bionic) overheats when going on long trips and using Nav. Can't charge it when it overheats. I wanted to go with Iridescent Red to maybe reflect some of that heat...hope it works.
Also, red and black just go together....

Bought 4 Cases (Seidio, Body Glove, Ballistics, Boxwave): Here is my 8 cents!

Hello everyone,
Ive been looking through this accessory thread ever since I owned my note 2 trying desperately to get rid of the crappy Body Glove case I was "borrowing" from Tmobile. Well, my three other cases came today, and after testing them all, I will tell you what I settled with.
First things first:
The Body Glove: I don't have any pictures of this crappy case, but you don't need any. Apparently I found out today after returning my version of the BG that they have OTHER styles which are far superior then the one that I had. But probably still pretty bad. This is the beginners case that you settle on if you have no idea how to surf the WWW. Obviously if you are reading this, you would never settle for this case, especially at the outrageous $30+ price tag.
Now for the 3 puppies that arrived today. I purchased these all on amazon.com.
The Seidio Active Case:
My initial thoughts are that this would be the case I would be settling with, especially after the youtube reviews... But after putting it on, and upon comparison, I realized that this case offers minimal protection as far as a drop would be concerned. It feels extremely cheap with the white plastic, and I had no idea that this is what I was purchasing. Not only that, but it has the same issue as the body glove - Slippery bastard. Sure the sides are rubber, but its an extremely soft smooth rubber that doesnt "Stick" if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, this is a pretty nice looking case, and I like the kickstand...but it's not for me. They also have other very vivid colors. As far as price goes, this case is a rip off at $30.35. Almost as bad as the body glove, but slightly cheaper and prettier.
The Ballistics Case:
This is the case that I read reviews about and heard is supposed to offer some of the best protection outside of Otterbox Defender case. Not to mention it looks good. Well, I opened this bad boy up, and noticed a few things right away. The rubber shell is not snug at all. When you snap on the plastic, it gets a little more snug, but I guarantee this case will fall apart everytime you drop your phone. This already had me worried. Another issue is the damn sides of the case. ITS CHEAP 100% SLIP-GUARANTEE Plastic! Damnit. I had really high hopes for this case.
If this doesn't already kill all your hopes and dreams, it makes your phone much more gargantuan. However, I digress, when it comes to drop protection, even though you'll be picking up the two pieces of your case + your phone, I would feel confident that the majority of impact from the initial drop would be absorbed into this case, before it falls apart. Price to protection value is decent at $23 dollars. Note that this case is cheaper now at $19 which increases the appeal of this case if you have a decent grip of your phone at all times.
The final case is the Boxwave OA3 Resolute:
So check this out, I only found this case on accident thanks to Slickdeals.net. I read reviews about boxwave's case for other phones such as the SIII, and I was prepared to be disappointed with this case. But alas, none of those previous problems exist and ironically, I am keeping this case even though its MUCH cheaper than all the other cases I've tried. This case almost looks identical in design to the Ballistics, which is what I think the company was going for. However, it is only one piece of hardened rubber. It fits very snug, and feels great in the hand. It doesn't make the phone as huge as the ballistics case, and I still feel confident that this case will offer a decent amount of drop protection. Another bonus is that it has a kickstand... but don't count on it for very long, because its the cheapest feeling kickstand you'll probably ever see in your life. I can almost bet money that it'll break with regular usage. So enjoy it while it lasts. You definitely cannot beat this case for the price as it was only $10.00 total. Not to mention its all black, no cheap looking white plastic.
I have attached all the photos I took. Sorry I don't have photos of the case on the phone, as I had taken the pictures with the note 2
Hope you found this post helpful.

Thanks!

Thanks for for the pictures. I personally am still waiting on the seidio convert case for the extended battery, I enjoyed the one I had on my thunderbolt. The case I have on my note 2 is the $12 (now $8.95) rugged case from ebay. The case uses the same style of synthetic rubber that the seido case uses and prevents me from dropping the phone. What are you going to do with those left over cases?

Good review, and I do agree with you on every point. While waiting for my UAG case, I'm using right now $7 ebay case (first one in my review link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36730711&highlight=rugged+dual+layer#post36730711) - which is a copy of Seidio Active and also similar to Otterbox Commuter. Commuter has a higher quality inner rubber lining, without a doubt. But Active is exactly the same stuff, or I should say that ebay cheap knockoff is exactly the same design and quality as Active
Btw, the Boxwave one you can get from ebay shipped for about $7. Its not their original design, just a generic ebay case they purchase in bulk from China and sell conveniently for local us shippment.

Thanks for the compliments. I am returning the other cases to amazon for free since I said that they are faulty, lol.

Useful review but I disagree on the ballistics case after going through other reviews and more than enough websites I found the ballistics case was the indeed the case which had the protection. The box said 8-9ft drop so I tested it with a leap faith and the case phone stayed together with no damage and didn't come apart. Also you say slippery wrong again I can apply minimum pressure using my little finger and thumb dry and wet with no slippage. The case is made from decent materials not the stuff you would get from a 5 dollar case which I have been through several. The case offers better screen protection from laying flat on a surface screen down than any case with the added corner protection. The back is non slip also and makes good resting on a slanted surface say a car roof, bonnet or dash board. And with a year warrantee you can't get far wrong. In general its makes the whole overall grip better and nice to the touch. Feels very manly to and with a simplistic look. With the plastic support the case holds firmly all round the note. Down side only two colours black and white, little flimsy top and bottom of screen. Price is fair for the case was 22.99 off eBay stores, cheaper if you get a deal on it.
Amazon gives a 4.5/5 overall for 33 reviews that's pretty good like.

Trident AEGIS grip?

I got a case for my droid2 at the verizon store when I bought my phone. No name that I know of. It was rubbery and had superb grip. I think I could lay it on the roof of my car and drive around with it and it would remain there.
It definitely would never slide off a table or slip out of my hand.
I want this for my note 2. Or at least some type of non-slippery grip.
My wife has the UAG for her S3 and while I like it... it seems slippery as hell. It's marginally better than the phone itself IMO. I really like the design for the note 2 but am hesitant for the above reason.
I'm leaning toward the Trident AEGIS now. I've watched an hour of different reviews on youtube and read countless threads here on the case and nobody really mentions the grip in any detail.
Does this seem like it would fit the bill for me? Can anyone who has or has had one comment on this aspect?
Thanks.

The Aegis seems like a great case. I have the UAG Navigator, and I love it. I have pretty big hands so it's not slippery for me. I agree it is smooth, but I think once you get used to how to hold it, it's very easy to keep in the hands. The plus is, even if you drop it from the "slipping" as you refer, nothing will happen to it because it is just that well protected. I also ordered the Case-Mate Tough based on the great reviews here. It's the thinnest case of the three while still providing very good protection. It also has that nice rubbery feel from what I've read/noted. The only reason I wouldn't go for the Aegis is because it looks more like a toy case. I feel like if they had complete solid colors or at least a black and white combo, it would look really good. Good luck with deciding

So, I assume you have read my official review HERE and comparison review to UAG/Tough/Pop posted in HERE? For your reference, you can also take a look at my UAG review HERE and also Case-Mate Tough review HERE
I'm very picky about cases as well in terms of case friction on a surface and slippery grips, and have reflected that in my write-ups and pictures in the links above. With all that said, if you are looking for a case that will stay dead on surface flat without wobbling, UAG will be your best bet. I know you compared it to UAG S3 case, but that one was different. S3 case had thin rubber ridges around corners making a feet/standoff, while GN2 case has 4 "torx" screw heads evenly spaced and making a cool standoff and a decent grip with a surface. That case will not side. I actually had it in my car a few days ago on top of the middle cup console (with top closed) which is very slippery, and it stayed on while I took a lot of turns. Tough case has a very nice textured grip in your hand, and will not slide like crazy on the surface, but the grip of those UAG torx-head softer rubber feet will have a better grip. Regarding Aegis - you have a back of the case which is not perfectly flat and your grip comes from Trident symbol in the middle of the case. It has a very good hand grip, no doubt about it, but in terms of surface grip - I wouldn't put it at the top of the list.
I would say the best surface grip probably going to come from a flat back TPU case (although stay away from popular Mercury case on Amazon - that one has a shiny sparkly finish and it slides like a soap bar across glass table) - but you also will NOT get the best protection from those TPU cases since most of them designed "slim". Silicon skin cases will be grippy, but they pull around edges and need external plastic shell to hold it down and that plastic shell will either be flat/smooth (thus slippery) or have a kickstand and some textured design (those wobbly when you put it down).

Thanks for the replies.
@opasha - I've never had the UAG for the Note2 in hand so thanks for the info. I've only held/used my wifes on her S3. I suppose there are comparisons out there of those two but I never thought to look for that...but instead just assumed it would be as smooth and slippery.
@vectron - I have seen the majority of your posts on the subject. I know you specifically mention the grip in hand but wasn't totally sure if you meant ergonomically or frictionwise. You may have went into more detail on the subject and if so I might have missed it. I will revisit your writes ups but thanks for addressing it in depth in your reply.
I'm not so much concerned about a flat surface but only mentioned it to illustrate how my droid2 case was. I literally think it would remain on my car roof if I drove around the block a few times. Oddly, my wife had the same exact case (though pink) for her droid2 at the time yet it was not at all as grippy.
It would be nice if it didn't shoot off my desk or table if accidentally knocked but I'm mainly worried about it it slipping out of my hand. I often only have one available as it is so handling a(n expensive) large slick phone is what I'm trying to alleviate with a slightly tacky (or something) case.

I did mean ergonomically, but I also mention in my reviews the grip with a surface since it always bothers me when case slides around Plus, some of the pictures worth thousand words, so yes - check out those links with reviews

The grip on the Aegis is excellent on hand and when laid flat on the screen. If laid on its back then it does slip. I've owned both UAG and Otterbox Commuter but the Aegis has the better grip.

Brief Overview of All My Cases w/ Pics

I decided to finally take a pic of all my cases and just give a brief overview. Sorry, I don't have a camera at the moment so I could only take pics with my Note 2, thus cannot show how the phone looks inside each case. I will get a camera soon and edit this thread with pics with the phone. If you want more details on some cases, visit vectron's threads. The guy does each case justice with in depth detail and he actually has a camera to show you what the phone looks like in each case. I just posted for the heck of it to explain my choices so far.
The top 3 for me:
1) Casemate Tough (Slim/Protective)
2) UAG (Slightly bulky but skinnier than the rest of the cases out there like defender and commuter etc with max protection)
3) Duzign Valor (This case is only $6 and the feel is a soft matte/rubbery feel that is not slippery at all. The colors are amazing and I already dropped my phone on concrete with it from 4 feet with minor damage (because the top and bottom are not covered so a tiny part of the top right corner got scratched. The case has more than enough edge protection to protect the face and it protected my phone from any major damage. The downside is the top and bottom like all the slim cases (Elago, Spigen Ultra Thin, etc) is that the top and bottom are not covered.
So, for every day use for a careful guy, Duzign is perfect- they also come in many different colors/feels. For every day use for a slightly clumsy person (I was wearing the wrong jacket with really open pockets when I dropped mine and was shaking my jacket up without realizing how big my pockets were and my phone jumped out, lol), I would go with the Case-Mate Tough- it's my current go to case at the moment. Finally, for a guy who just throws his phone onto the table or doesn't care if it falls down from time to time, the UAG is the best. That thing is beautiful and a beast- I have the white one and my Note 2 is white so it matches blends very nicely.
My description is brief because I'm in a hurry this morning, but if you have any questions about any of the cases, feel free to ask here or PM me, and I will provide the best information I know. Thanks for reading!
here are my pics of all my cases so you can compare:
Top Row (Left to Right): Custom Case-Mate Tough, Custom Case-Mate Tough, Case-Mate Tough (original- my current fav), Mercury TPU, Cimo TPU, Cruzerlite TPU
Bottom Row (Left to Right): UAG Navigator, Elago Slim, Elago Slim, Duzign Valor, Duzign Valor

Haha, much appreciated man!

My review of the official Samsung leather back cover.

When I purchased my device from Samsung USA they gave me a $30 coupon which I used to off set this overpriced "back cover "which retails for $50 plus.
My thoughts ? Feels good, little to no protection of the screen but that was expected. Camera lens area is raised so protected. Top and bottom has a slight raise , sides of case sit lower to the sides of the display, thus zero protection. There are some characteristic defects in the case, like stretched leather areas on the corners due to manufacturing which is worth pointing out to the OCD massive.
As the name implies , it's a back cover , so don't bother with it if you want to protect your device from a drop. The leather smells good and feels good. The inner liner is a suede like material.
7 out of 10. For those that want minimilsm and comfort, not recommended for those that are vegan or want drop protection.

I am really satisfied with this case. I was using the original leather case from Samsung on my previous Note 10, but I have only had this case on my phone for a few weeks and I found the leather on two corners started to wear out. The version of this case for Note 20 Ultra seems to be more solid and still looks like new after using it for more than two months.

Same set up as me. Bronze N20U, black leather case. Mine definitely held up better than my previous set up. Blue Note 10 Plus with official Samsung red leather case. That case had so much wear in under two weeks that I returned it, Samsung gave me zero issues in doing so. It is actually the reason why I chose black this time around. Samsung definitely increased their quality.

The brown leather looks really good with the bronze N20U. The leather case was my favorite, a close second for me was the Pitaka case. I love a quality leather product, Samsung delivered just that. Has a nice texture inside and out and just the right amount of thickness.

I had this leather cover for about 2 months. Leather finish is very good, but I found it to be kind of losse on the bottom, especially on the left corner (near the stylus).
In fact, all the slim covers that I tried for Note 20 Ultra have this problem since on the left bottom corner are concentrated too many holes: stylus+speaker, resulting in poor grip area.
Right now I am settled at Spigen Thin Fit, which is very slim and provides excelent adherence to the phone due to TPU margins (new design).

Mine discolored terrible after about 2 months

Cool, but as the all formed models, all their accessories do not exist to buy.
