Tell me this isn't pretty! Gonna be ordering one this week if the TPU one I'm getting via eBay sucks.

wow, that looks nice indeed

@ OP - Nice find! This so far looks the best of the one's available to us right now - sexy! Now I just need to find my user name and pass for eBay/and PP - haven't used eBay in years!

I was hoping this store had its own site outside of eBay, but oh well.

Cheers for the heads up.
I've been looking for a case for 2 weeks now.
I should get it in a few days.
I'll let you guys know what's it like.

SWEET!!!! i l ove it
ordered one already
i got the black one, is the only one that looks good
red is too pinkish, and purple is ... pale, like washed out black
i wanted blue... but they don't have it

Thanks, ordered one w/screen guard for $10. Not bad .

Edit: I ended up ordering the 3-in-1 package deal (same seller). Hopefully the screen protector is decent, but if not - it's still a good deal for the case and car charger ($13.02 USD/includes the S/H).

That is absolutely beautiful. Keeps up with the sleek design of the phone.
Post pics if you get it OP! Thanks.

Just picked one up too. Looks nice. Good find.

Appreciate that looks the sexiest of all cases I've seen ... but is this TPU? or is it some soft kinda think that get loose after a while?

it's like a hard case, same as the ones available for the SGS
it's more of a Fashion case, than protection case

I prefer soft cases. That does look sleek, though.

Oh. I thought it was a combination of a soft/and hard case? Still ordered it (too sexy not to!), but now I am thinking maybe I should have ordered a soft black gel case too. I'll order a soft case next time.

i ordered the blue case i mentioned on the other topic
i like to switch cases every now and then... it's all fashion though
like changing shoes

can u add a link?
anyways i got the CLEAR one... seems really cool!!
but as the guy above me i like changing skins often

Yeah, fantastic find, this is a great looking case!

roshga, I too was thinking of getting the clear one (haven't got my phone yet). The "Google" visible on the rear is kind of cool. The only problem is that in the picture, the transparent plasticky look can be seen on the front edges. The black one's edge blends smoothly into the colour of the phone. Wish they had the Google written on the back ... with no "Samsung"
When someone gets it, can pictures be posted ... actually a short video clip of putting it on would be great as we can get the "feel" of the case

i compared both of the pictures... if you look carefully u can see that the black one seems as plasticky as the clear one, and the "Google" visibility was the reason for going for the clear one
I'm from Israel so the shipping will probably take more time then an order from the UK, if no one will upload any pictures of it till i'll get it I'm gonna post some myself
Good Day all.

Nice, too bad UK only.
-Nexus S

Which Case? (in UK)

Been really struggling to decide on the case for me after returning one. I'm really after a case similar to the iPad ones, slim and can be used to stand.
The Poetic one seems good but the thread on here seems almost all American. It's £20 here on Amazon and has had no reviews which is unusual. Is it worth that and is it the same? Sounds like I need the 3rd version.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Poetic-Slim...CPTQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1348174175&sr=8-3
If not are there any similar cases out there in the UK that people recommend? I'd also ideally like a colour as apposed to just black but it's not essential.
Thanks.

Any of these should do you..

I've got this one, nice case no sleep function.

Hi thanks,
Those all look ok but I'm pretty fussy when it comes to cases and I'm not sure any of those are quite what I'm after. Mostly they're too 'bitty'.
Basically this but for the Nexus & a good quality.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Invision®-I...3?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1348175759&sr=1-3
I was waiting for Invision to release a Nexus one but they're no longer making them.

Seems like this is the perfect case for you, they come in these colours, it also has the magnet sleep function and a stand mode!

Here's my review, :good:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1892017

Thanks spooke, I saw your review, looks close to what I'm after. How is it for typing with in landscape? From the photos it looks like it might sort of bounce up and down a bit as you're typing.

Most of these stand cases fall over as soon as you touch them.
I might be saying this out of anger because just had a terrible experience off eBay for one of these cases, totally different colour than purchased, lied about dispatch, kept changing delivery date, not very well made, not stitched in properly.
But yeah, like I said don't take my word for it, could be anger.

If you type in landscape with the flap all the way around like this,
Then it doesn't move much and is angled like a keyboard. If you try to type with in in the 'stand' mode then it starts to move but if you hold it slightly and type it's fine.

I received mine very quickly from E-Cell, defiantly recommend them.

I got this one which is basically the same as what Troute already posted: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Ultra-Sli...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3a79167146 You can get it in different colours as well. But it does look pretty much like the one you posted without the ugly PU leather (sorry, just don't like that stuff!). Haven't had it long but sleep function works great, good quality, doesn't fall over, and would buy it again.
Another user has a review and pics over here (I know they're from the US but it is the exact same one): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1840085

Spooke, yeah that's the picture I was referring to, it looks like your fingers pushing down would make it bounce a bit, maybe wrong.
Artcon, those look pretty good, thinking I might give one of those a go. Just not too sure about the way it has the hard grey back and then the coloured material on that, looks kind of strange. Will think about it, hopefully they have a green one somewhere, if not I think purple will be good. Also just waiting to hear from Poetic in UK about theirs. Can understand you not liking the PU leather, personally don't mind it, prefer it to the different materials as mentioned above I think.
Thanks though guys.

What case style do you think is the best?

Obviously, there are quite a few case styles out there. You have your silicone, your pu leather/real leather, your hard cases, your stands, your folios, your wallets and loads more. It gets a little confusing at times deciding which one is going to be best for your device, so I thought I'd create this little thread to see everyones thoughts and feelings on their favourite styles, and possibly specific cases!
I know stuff like this has been done before, but its a great place for people who haven't really looked at cases before to start. Like I said, it can be confusing!
I'm a bit impartial to some cases, not having tried them all. But, I'd say my preferred cases would have to be folio stands and flip cases, preferably in leather, or really nice pu leather. I'm quite fond of these styles because they give good, overall protection and look quite nice as well. But, obviously with things such as folio stands, they can add quite a bit of bulk, which is a major downside since we're looking at the Galaxy Note II. And, since it's a phone, we want it to be as portable as possible. Given its size, adding bulk onto it must be kept to a minimum, in my opinion.
One case I'd suggest avoiding is actually the official Samsung cover for the Note II, because it offers very little protection at all. Despite looking rather fancy.
I'd suggest something that's thin, yet protective. The flip cases are probably your best bet, especially if you can find one that's able to double as a stand.
I found this tonight, and felt that it was a good copy of Samsung's case for the Note II and really solved the design flaws from the original.

You can find it here.
Another good one that you can see below adds a bit of bulk compared to the one above, but is really stylish in my opinion. It also doubles as a portrait stand, which to me is a huge advantage!
You can find it here.
I also found what LOOKS (not saying it is) to be a genuine Samsung cover for cheap. That, or an exceptionally brilliant knock off. One thing I did just notice, though.. In one of the pictures, they appear to have torn the NFC chip out of it. So, beware if you go for that. The NFC chip is what makes it so pricey, I think.
Item can be found here.
I know there is a thread already regarding cases and stuff. Can I just note that this is NOT a thread for advertising cases, per say. I intended this to be a discussion for your preferences, and a way to help new comers choose what would be ideal for them. If people post cases that they recommend, then brilliant!
So, let me know what you guys feel!

Neither, sorry

I didn't mean your opinions on these specific cases. I meant what are your preferences on case's in general. Like, what style do you go for?

You can get some really nice TPU designs on Amazon. I found a lot of beautiful ones last night. Although, they were a bit too feminine for a guy to be carrying around. I'm leaning towards one of the cases I presented, but need to email in to the seller to see if it uses magnetic clips.

Cheap Case Review (Lots of pics!)

Hey everyone, I'm back with another review with lots of pictures again. Some of the pictures were taken with my Galaxy Note 2, and even though they are some fantastic pictures, I took out another camera to take pictures with the case on the phone.
To be honest, this is a case that I thought I wouldn't recommend to anyone because it was a cheapo case and it feels CHEAP! I mean, REALLY cheap! But once it's on the phone, it actually feels really good in hand and then it gives it a textured back that will for sure not let you drop it as easily!
Enough of my blabbing.
This is how it came:

You can find this case in a ton of different colors.
The buttons don't feel like they're going to click, but they're actually really clicky once it's on the case. It isn't as good as the original case that I reviewed last week, but for the price, it's good and you can feel the raised buttons.
Port holes are HUGE! I mean, every place there is an opening, this case makes it a lot bigger than it really needs to be! Check these pictures out.
Compare the hole for the speaker, or the pen silo!
And the camera hole
There is a higher lip on the case, so you can put it face down on the table and the screen won't touch the table.
I actually bought this case a week before I got my Note 2, and it just got here a few days ago. Ironic that I ordered it to have a case right away and it is the 4th case I got in the mail. Lol. I like the case, but it honestly doesn't compare to the Original case that I reviewed. It does have some good points and some bad ones. I like the texture, but it has massive port holes. I don't like how it makes my phone look though, but you can judge that for yourself. I'm going to stick to the original case. But it's not bad at all for the price that it is on eBay!
Would I recommend it? Yeah.
Are there better cases? For sure.
Better cases for the price? Probably not.
Hit thanks if this review has helped you or you just like the pics Or if you'd like me to continue reviewing cases I buy .
Thanks for reading

Does 'Add to Cart' button work for you on that site?
Edit: Never mind, it works in Chrome. Doesn't work in Firefox for me. Strange.
This looks like a awesome site if it's genuine.

I've ordered from here before. Shipping takes forever unless you pay for faster shipping but it's legit and I got about 10 cases for my original note from there. They were only 86 cents! One of the best sites I've come across. The only problem I've run into is the pictures don't exactly represent the exact item. Like I ordered a case and the picture showed it transparent but it was really solid blue.

Elecom's Futuristic XZ2T Case

I think this is the coolest thing ever, I was going to buy one and customize it to look like the weathered hull of a space ship, but it seems to only be available from Japan and it costs like $100+ :/
http://www2.elecom.co.jp.e.gj.hp.transer.com/products/TBM-SOZ2AHVWH.html
While I can appreciate the design and engineering that went into this multi-layer system, I don't feel like a few millimeters of plastic is worth over $100 just because it's molded to look cool. Making inexpensive cool shells like this seems like something bootleggers/counterfeiters should be jumping all over. I'd definitely buy a cheaper version of this to decorate.
Do you know of any other cases that look like this but don't cost half your rent money? haha

There seems to be a lack of rugged cases for this tablet. I was looking for something i can put the tablet into, so it won't break when kids go nuts on it. Only managed to find this and it doesn't look nearly as cool as the one you found though http://www.amazon.ca/Poetic-Xperia-Tablet-TURTLE-Series/dp/B00JEOS0HS

Yeah, in emergencies you can break windshields with the corners, and if you hold it at an angle it can deflect laser beams
It's a kickass case, and a must if you have kids because if they accidentally sit on the super-thin Z2 it'll bend like a hotdog lol

I have bought 4 different cases for my Z2 Tablet, but the best one I found is the poetic one. I had dropped it a few times and the drops did no damages at all. Well, I had a tempered glass screen protector though.
