I have seen a couple of the usual companies on Amazon selling armbands that support the Note 8 but wanted to research armbands because the run of the mill armbands are cheap and don't really last long, but they are only $8 -$12 each.
After some research I found a company called Armpocket . com.
Has anyone heard of them or used their products? They really look like an upgrade from the cheap Amazon stuff (not that the cheap Amazon stuff is bad).
Flipbelt ftw
That is interesting, never thought about a belt, I am still prefer the arm band.

I can't find a case for this phone anywhere online. I checked amazon and googled it. People were talking about samsung.com, but I don't see anything specifically for the note 2 there. Can everyone just post links of places they got their cases? I really want a case before I destroy the phone. Thanks!

Samsung.com.
Shop products -> Cell Phone Accessories. Should be 20 pages of stuff
Filter for "Cases and Holsters" on the left. Should be 4 pages now.
Go to page 4. Official Samsung flip cover ($40) and protective case ($30) are there in 2 colors each. Use the 50% coupon from thread at the top of this forum.
Also, there is always eBay, and I heard Sprint stores have cases in stock. My T-Mobile store had no accessories
There are not many US-based retailers that have cases for sale at reasonable prices. I have a slew of them coming through eBay but most of them are third-party and shipping from Hong Kong. I checked the T-Mobile store nearby only to find that they did not have any accessories in stock and did not have any idea when they'd be getting them in.
Samsung.com, when I last checked yesterday, did not have any of the flip covers in stock for the Note 2. I put in a backorder on them but have no received an email yet.
Amazon.com, has mostly third-party accessories as well and it's difficult to find the correct items. Keep in mind that you can search for N7100, N7105, SGH-T889, SGH-i317 and many other model numbers.
Hoping within the next week or two that more US retailers begin carrying accessories.
Sprint
Anybody checked if Sprint has any accessories either?
Just called up T-Mo again, and again, "sorry, nothing yet. Looks as we got the phones early or something". Sigh...I think I got a simple one that should be here by next Monday...from Amazon.com
Well that's lame I'd really like to protect my phone. Can you guys post links to the few cases you are finding? I mean why can't we buy from European retailers sites? It's like they aren't selling cases yet either...
Just checked and Samsung.com is indeed out of the Flip cover, but they have the Protective cover in White and Black in stock.
This one looks decent for $5 and free shipping on Amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-HardBa...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I1D60SXXGX7LUY
This one is nice but seems priced high ($35). Also free Amazon prime shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I2EC7ERBS5SP29
This is the one I ordered to get me by until better ones appear ($20): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00961ADCO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Those are good thanks! And it looks like there are more related too. These must have been added in the last couple days as I could find NOTHING on Amazon last week.

More and more cases are showing up each day. I ordered that Poetic flip case myself last night. Got a notification that it had dropped to $4.95, and there was no shipping cost (even without Prime), so it was pretty much a no-brainer.
Saw that about the Poetic case myself too. Went to order it today and they wanted to charge something like $25 for delivery to Europe Thanks but no thanks. Pity.
If you receive delivery I'd love to read a review

I'm personally waiting for the Trident cases. I ordered a crap-case to tide me over until Trident gets their act together.

I'll let you know what its like when it arrives.

I'm particularly curious to know, when that case and the Note 2 arrive, if it can handle the phone inside of a TPU.
Speaking of TPUs, I haven't heard back from Diztronic yet on whether they're making TPUs for the Note 2. TPUs don't get any better than Diztronic, imo.
Wish there was a seidio case out.. Or something like it.. That was a nice case that protected well

I have bought quite a few cases for my Note original, and then my S3, and now a few for my Note 2, but i always come back to using this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Gel-Sil...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5d35b91c97
It is cheap and is relatively unobtrusive. It is thin and yet, sturdy enough to protect the phone from a drop from a table top. The sides wrap around the front of the touchscreen just enough to give it protection from putting it directly on a flat table top. The kick stand is very useful to stand this beautiful screen, especially for the kids to watch a show.

$4 free shipping from Hong Kong? Just ordered one, thanks!
If anyone has a Sprint store, they are selling a body glove case for $24.99 in store.

Another vote for the great body glove case.
I'm really surprised sprint has this nice body glove you all speak of.. I'll have to see if my sprint store had it.. Usually they have some dinky cases that are wayyyyy over priced

Is there anywhere in the UK I can get a good quality smart case/cover for the N7? I see a lot posted here but they're from the US, such as this one.
I'm also looking for a precise stylus for note taking uses.
Instead of eBay.com try eBay.co.uk or Amazon.co.uk, many sellers have UK stock.
Will this do? http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/35714-SD...Google-Nexus-7-Case-Black-Reviews.htm#reviews
This is the one I got, which I paid £12.95 for, and now it's £8.95.
I have no regrets buying it:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008IEGS9W/ref=oh_details_o00_s01_i00
Actually, you know what? Anyone know of any good sleeves for the N7? I want a sleeve to protect it whilst it's in my bag but will also protect against damage from dropping it (On the bus etc.)
Anyone know of a one that fits snug that can be bought in the UK?
Etsy.com is a GREAT source for Nexus sleeves. It's where I purchased my Superwoman sleeve from. It held me over until I was ready to decide on a case. There are thousands of affordable, handmade sleeve on there as well as more premium leather ones. You can literally find anything on there. Mine was 12$.

These look very promising (although on the pricey side):

I wish I had seen these before I bought the CaseCrown Messenger Bag. I love the look of these way more. Christmas present?
They look really nice. Too bad shipping is $20 to Canada.

I've got three of them for my other stuff. Two for different Kindles and one for my MacBook Air. SFBags make really great stuff, and their customer service is also great. I already got a cheap "envelope" type case for my N10 to hold me over, but I really want a protective case that also doubles as a stand for the N10, so I think I'll pass on the sfbags offerings. I too wish it had been available when I first got my N10, as I'd rather have it than the one I use now.
I might order the slip case or sleeve today to tide me over until there is a folio style case available. Carrying my N10 every day in my bag is a scratch waiting to happen.
What do you guys think about the Smartcase? I am down to pay $60 for it.
How slim will it be, could you jury rig it as well to use as a stand'?
i love the cityslicker but the price is kinda steep.
Where's the smart keyboard?
I Can not decide what case to choose, SENA one, but it's to thin and I hate the leather pattern, or go for good ol' PDair,
they have than one http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...google-nexus-7-vertical-pouch-type-black.html with multiple stitching color to chose from.
I asked them what the inner side part is made of, and they told me
"Thanks for your enquiry. ALL our Genuine PDair Leather Case is made of Premium Korea Cowhide leather and inner part is pvc. The inner part is a little hard to support the case but won’t get scratchiness on the phone."
Now PVC can also mean vinyl, maybe they mean it's hard to bend but soft to touch? anyway post your answers, still think to go with PDair as the shipping is free, SENA wat's 30$ to ship to Israel and it's ridiculously pricier, LOL not that I'm one to complain, as I ordered some acessories from EXPANSYS UK (extended battery w/cover, and desktop multimedia dock for my GNEX, but they was cheaper back then in comparison to eBay):silly:
If you want to pay $50 for a pouch you can buy for $5 then by all means do ok it's leather on the outside but it's damned thin leather. I've had a couple of PDair cases for phones and they are well enough made but vastly overpriced for what you get.
If you want to pay that kind of money for real leather, have a search of this forum. Someone posted a couple of months ago about some hand made stuff that was real quality.

Well to describe my problem, I want to use it with the dock, when it out, I will not say they overpriced, I use SGP Crumena for my Galaxy Nexus, that cost me 30$, and it worth the money, from all the crap I seen on eBay, there also MOFi soft pouches, but I only zip type, I want one like a sack with strap, and the big size sold on taobao or resellers, and I afraid to deal with them, SENA looks cheap with that ugly pattern and 30$ for shipping? the PDair exist many years so I know what I pay for, what else can you recommend?
^^ etsy.com
Thousands of quality, handmade sleeves ranging from cheap 12$ cloth ones to superb leather ones. Take a look. Just about everything there is handmade by people who do this in their homes for a living.

Thanks, very creative stuff, but I want something from a brand like the SENA or PDair, they have another one;
http://www.pdair.com/index.php/eboo...-asus-google-nexus-7-business-type-black.html
Yeah I know the price is like 2 smartphone cases, but it will be used for good, I think I even maybe sell the SGP of my GNEX to make some profit,
and get a one from PDair to make a pair, they have same case for NOTE (II), so maybe they can make me a smaller one
but keep up with the comments, I just couldn't find any reviews of the tablet cases they sell.
It's a trap
Just wondering if anyone is using one of the many Otterbox imitation cases that look nearly identical to the real one.
I'm starting a tech accessory business at a flea market soon and one of the cell case suppliers I signed up for sells them for $3.00 a piece. They sell about $12-$18 on Amazon and ebay
It sucks for note 8
