This question is subjective. Like beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
I am sure you have seen the myriad of threads and posts about cases. Have you seen them?
Is this your first tablet? If not did you use a case with your previous one? And were you happy with it?
Are you curious about a certain case? What makes you ask the question, really...I mean your answer is out there. In other words, the answer you seek is the one you answer yourself.

This thing is my favorite, personally. It's cheap. Durable as hell. Wakes and puts the device to sleep with the flap. Can be turned into a stand, and it don't look half bad. :laugh: It's all your choice, but I would look at this one if I was you.
Ya it is my first tablet

Too soon to call it bro, it also depends on your price limit.
I'd say a few weeks and you'll have more formidable options.

Soooo many case threads... maybe there should be a "which case is worst" thread. Don't like the one I bought on Ebay here. The fit in the portrait direction is not great, slides up and down about .25", so the camera gets covered easily. Also has no hole for the side mic, so mic pick up is questionable. Also the thickness of leather prevents a finger slide right to the edge of the screen. No auto-off. I wouldn't buy it again or recommend it to anyone.
It absolutely depends on whether a case offers functions or features that would give you more opportunity to use your tablet.
I typically get cases for my devices so that I am not as concerned about breaking it while out and about. I am also often in situations where it is best to be discreet about using an electronic device.
Something else to consider is how the case will impair the experience of using your device as opposed to having no case on it. One of my biggest gripes with cases in general for touchscreen devices is how many of them encroach on the screen surface, so I go for the usually higher cost cases that put more thought into how the device is secured into the case without putting anything on the screen surface. When I say that they encroach on the screen surface, I do not necessarily mean that they hinder viewing, but that they cover the unused edges of the screen, and that happens to be where I prefer to grip with my thumb, and I prefer the feel of the glass under my thumb rather than leather, cloth, microsuede or whatever else.
Those are just my personal rules when hunting for cases for my devices.
This case almost makes it, if only the back was black, and that stand popped off.

I have that case...and the revision of it.
First case that I received had a strong magnet causing my Nexus 7 to go to sleep mode when the front cover is folded to the back of the case.
The second cover that I received today had no magnet (or a weaker magnet). The smart cover sleep/awake function is nonexistent.
Also the stylus holder is blocking the volume buttons. This issue actually is for both versions of the case.
Despite the lack of the smart cover function, I'm going to switch between the latest revision of the hardback case that I just got today and the official Google case....for now.

The one thing that concerns me is that it is magnetic. Is that safe? I found a video of the case(s) on youtube.

I really wanted one of those as well but being magnetic is a no go.

Besides being magnetic, they seem to be the all around best flip cover I've found (besides the Official Samsung Flip Cover that haven't looked at.) Nice colors, good design, appears to be good quality....... Guess we'll have to wait for something else.
I received this case the other day and the quality and feel is excellent. It is a beautiful case. I'm going to give it and try on my Note when I receive it. I like it better than the official Samsung flip cover.
Any feed back on the magnetic case being safe. I am getting my note 11\1 amenities want to order the case ahead of time. So far I am liking this case.

Safe? Well, it's not going to damage anything much, but it WILL screw with the S-Pen, and render the compass completely useless.
Ive got the case and been using it the last few days with no ill effects what so ever!!!
The magnet is next to the front camera and doesnt screw with the S pen at all. ln regards to the compass I cant comment as l dont use it (l dont think)!!!
All in all a really nice solid case - no complaints so far.
ps - went for the black and beige one - looks smart!

The case is safe. Smart covers for tablets (N7, Ipad) contain magnets. That is how they automatically wake up when you open them.
I bought this aswell hopefully there are no side effects. I plan on installing a landyard in it aswell. The note wont fit in all my jeans pockets ; p

I see now. It looks like butt. At least the colors do.
Ok I just bought it as well the black one as it looks beautifull and it has a kickstand feature what more do you want from a case all for a super price delivered what are you waiting for guys?
I have this case in black and I absolutely LOVE it.
It looks amazing, isn't bulky and the materials are top-notch. The phone doesn't move a millimeter. I haven't used the pocket yet, but I think it's a handy feature.
The magnet is a plus for me. It hasn't caused any problems.
I didn't want the official case, because it's made of the same chintzy plastic as the stock back - which I don't like at all.
FYI I have a brand new one of these cases available for $15.00 shipped. I'm located in the US so shipping will be a lot quicker than China. Please see the thread below for details

I'm looking at this case too and have a couple questions.
Does NFC still work?
What is it like to text and make phone calls on it?
Do you think it would still fit in a car mount with the back cover flipped around?
How easy is it to take in and out of the case?
I will NEVER use a magnetic case on my devices.
Very expensive device + magnet = prone to damage.

You ever use the OG Droid? Both the car dock and desk dock used magnets. Magnets are fine with these devices
I doubt a low strength magnet would have any negative effect on the device.
I ordered a wallet case with a magnetic clasp and initially I was worried about dead spots on the screen. Having received the case and seeing how laughably weak they are (just enough to hold the front panel shut, absolutely no more) I'm not sweating it at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for the FedEx guy now, but I'll report back and tell of any issues.
I've searched everywhere and can't seem to find a waterproof & rugged case for the note 2. the Otterbox defender seems to be the closest thing to what I want but it's not waterproof/water resistant. My main purpose for the case is to use the note 2 as a handheld GPS device when I go on hiking/backpacking.
Does anyone know if there is such a case exist or anything similar coming into market?
Start harassing Seidio to make a note 2 version of their OBEX case that they are releasing for iPhone5. This case seems to be close to the end-all for rugged cases.

oh well, I guess there is no such case atm. I'm just going to wait then. if it's really needed, I'll just get the Defender with some plastic food wrap. I really just need it to be splash/rain proof, not planning to swim with it and such...
cdnmaplechick, yea I've seen it and it seems to be nothing more than just a plastic bag and offer no protection at all. While ideally I want the case to be waterproof, ruggedness is still more important than waterproof.

what about "liquipel?" they coat your phone with a special agent of theirs that protect it from water. google will tell more but its something ive come accrossed just reading tech articles.
If you have the note 2 already use a ziplock bag .... and a bluetooth headset. Isn't the whole point of fishing to be outdoors away from cell phone towers? I bet after fishing season a case should be out. Accessory makers should have cases out sooner since most phones almost always are announced a month or two ahead of time. Im still waiting on seidio extended battery convert case for this phone.
yes but when I am in the outdoors I want to take pictures shoot video txt my group I am with if nearby run gps tracking mapping navigation software. run ramp finder run charts when on the water play pandora or listen to an audio book etc.. etc. etc..
people seem to forget. I don't carry a phone. I carry a powerful portable hand held computer with me and oh by the way it happens to have a phone somewhere in there if i need it
I got this case for my S3

I will be sure to post pics/review when I get it.
I hope they end up making one for my Note II as well.
as a "go between" till nice stuff comes out I also got this for my Note II
http://dx.com/p/bike-protective-wat...-samsung-galaxy-note-i9220-n7100-black-175949
it says water proof I would take that to mean splash resistant. IE don't go submerging it but if it rains on it or something your "probably" ok.
I hope my Note II fits inside without having to remove it from my cases.
Liquipel is very cool but at almost $100 including shipping & insurance, the price is too high for my occasional need just to add waterproof protection. I only paid $450 for my phone new without contract. Not to mention I need to send in the phone and wait for about week for the turnaround.
Maybe it'll tempt me more if it's available somewhere I can get it done locally in few hours...

Am I missing something or is liquipel not even available for this phone? Also if you look on youtube there are plenty if reviews showing it failing..

Liquipel is available for Note I, so I just assumed with the note 2 it'll probably also work if I ask them, as I can't think of a reason why they wouldn't be able to coat a very similar phone in terms of physical design. But you're right, it's not officially on their list and it might not even be available for the note 2.
and they won't water proof guarentee ANY level of water protection anymore. leads me to believe they have issues with their process. you don't see them running phones underwater anymore.

Slight peace of mind is suppose. I think they stopped because some people's iphone and such weren't protected and were damaged by water after the treatment. And I know if I had this done to my phone is never hesitate to get it wet im sure many are that way

thats my point ie whats the point. especially considering how expensive it is.
I would give it a liquipel treatment and then slap on an Otterbox Defender case. Liquipel applies a nanocoating to your device making it water resistant, see here: http://www.liquipel.com/

They make cameras that can take pictures under water that are now cheap. With your portable computer (smartphone) becoming more powerful it needs vents in it to let the heat out. There's trade offs when you add a lot of features to a single device that a specialized device doesn't run into.

If you do attempt to put it back on, you can glue it. If you really wanted it back on you can glue it. But forcing it out may bend / distort the screen protector. It's no good anyway.

A read in this forum, and actually in Amazon reviews for Defender, people use a hair dryer to soften the glue and remove it easily.
Regarding the whole thing with Otterbox and customer support, I had original Defender for a few days purchased from Verizon store. After quickly realizing the shortfall with that built-in screen protector, I contacted Otterbox directly and was explained that problems get resolved easily by them sending me email with claim number and me providing them back 3 pictures with a problem and/or additional small video clip (to show flex of screen protector). They told me that once you send the claim in, a replacement will be shipped to you and YOU have to send back the original case. My point, if you are not happy with a Defender, just return it back if you can rather than taking screen off and than gluing it back together which going to void warranty. In my case, I went back to Verizon store, tried 3 more Defender in there - all with the same issue, and just returned it back.
Regarding moral issues, so how about that "almost real" thread? I think I mentioned it in there a few times as a disclaimer that these come very handy when you want to modify Defender for extended battery and don't want to butcher your $60 case.

screen protector really does work. when it looks like smudges, air bubbles, or blemishes within a 48 - 72 hours they do all go away.
there was what looked like dust smudges which bummed me out but 2 days later ...completely gone.
CAUTION !!
i used the Spen and it leaves track marks. a few have disappeared but the more pressure you you put on the screen the deeper the marks look ... ill report back to see if they went away

I kayak fish a lot, and I've started participating in tournaments which use a phone app for submitting a measuring board photo of your fish. So I've been using a dry bag style "case" for a while, but it's cumbersome and doesn't really protect the phone very well from impacts, which can easily happen in a kayak. Anyway, someone finally made a LifeProof-ish/Obex-ish case for the Note 2:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00NTXWR2E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I bought one and will post how well it works.
It has loop for you to attach a lanyard or strap -- I'll probably put one of the floating Pentax wrist straps that I have for my GoPros on it. Because the most waterproofed phone in the world isn't going to do you any good when it's lost at the bottom of the ocean.
I've been a long-time buyer of Seidio cases, but was VERY disappointed when they didn't make an Obex case for the Note 2 ("because of the S-pen"), but then made one for the Note 3. :silly:
Where's the review
Oops! Sorry! Thanks for the remind!
The case works PERFECTLY! Can't emphasize that enough. It's really easy to install it and use it, the touchscreen works very well, no leaks, the ports are relatively easy to access while also doing a great job of keeping water out. I've used it twice now fishing from a kayak, and it's really protected the phone well, while allowing full use of the camera as well as all other phone functions. Several people posted reviews on Amazon that the microphone doesn't work well, but I highly suspect that's because they don't have it lined up properly in the case because it works perfectly for me.
Just FYI, this is actually a "Redpepper" branded case rather than "EasyLife". If you Google "Redpepper Note 2" you may be able to find it for even cheaper than it is on Amazon.com. I'm not sweating it, though. The price I got on Amazon was already a fraction of a LifeProof case, and this is the only waterproof case I've found for our Note 2, anyway, so I don't mind rewarding them with a little extra just for that.
Here it is for less than half the price in case anyone else wants this case.

Just FYI, there's feedback on that specific seller for it taking over two months to receive the case. There are several other sellers who are also close to that price, though. Good luck.
