Hello everyone,
I wrote some major case companies the other day and Seidio wrote me back today. I asked them if they had any Galaxy Note 2 cases planned and if they did, when they would be available to the general public. To my surprise I received this today:

I guess if enough people send an email to them, they'll take it more seriously. I'm down for either a seidio case, case mate case, or an otterbox case. Let's see who comes out with a decent case first without asking for an arm and a leg . Send off an email to Seidio! [email protected]
This sounds kinda disappoint. I already sent a email.
I thought they were already making them since I saw a poll on seidio's Facebook page from beginning of Oct asking what products people wanted for the note 2.

I just got a message from Case Mate

Wow.... What a day
The other day I ordered the OEM Samsung case, hopefully it'll arrive ASAP because I feel really disappointed with these larger case companies. The Note has been out for a little, and they don't have ANY plans to make these cases as of yet!
Got the same email this morning--was really hoping for a Convert case, or an Active case + holster to become available.
I just got a booklet-style case off of Amazon for $5, and I'm considering getting the Amzer Shellster in place of a Seidio. Not sure how I feel about the Shellster's protection, though; there's nothing holding the case into the holster, and the case leaves the top and bottom of the phone full exposed.

Wow, you're right. In the same day they tell me no, they have it up on their site? Hmmm... Strange indeed. I think they might need to inform their departments a little bit better before deferring clients away .
Sorry for the confusion! The ETA for the cases is within a few weeks. If you send an e-mail to the Galaxy Note e-mail address listed above ([email protected]), you can receive product release notifications.
Seidio
Well, I have a Seidio Active with Kickstand for the SII I used to own and have now given to my step son. I saw the Seidio Active with multi-purpose cover for the Nexus 7 and I think I'm gonna get that. And will definitely get a Seidio Active with Metal Kickstand when it comes out. I also have a Trident Aegis for the SII, very bulky, though it also felt more protective, I'd use it whenever I wore jeans or was going to be on the playground with the kids (chances of getting hit harder against floor or falling off the pocket or some such)
The kickstand is such an increasingly needed feature...
Will be waiting!
Meanwhile, got the S-line with kickstand for $6 including shipping. It just needs to arrive before the phone falls...

Sweet, I'm dying for a surface/holster combo
Spigen announced their well-known Slim Armor line for the new One M8 a while ago and this case also comes in a sexy Gunmetal color .
I'm actually thinking of buying it, but I am waiting for some experiences from other people, since I've had button issues with their cases in the past (Neo Hybrid for the Galaxy S3 and Slim Armor for the Nexus 5). I've heard that some orders have already been shipped, is there someone here that has already received his order? Please post some of your experiences here if you have :fingers-crossed:
Where to Buy:
Amazon
Ebay
Spigen's website

There is no cutout for the power button judging from the pictures. Might affect IR blaster.

I was not thinking on buying a case but this looks beyond sexy. The non-functioning IR blaster may be a deal breaker though. I use my M8 as my control literally every day. Hmmmmm.
I can't figure out why they keep making cases that block the IR blaster. The hybrid bumper case is good looking too, but has the same issue.
Style-wise Spigen is on point, but silly to pay $20 for something that removes functionality.
mine is on its way says in transit
I had one on my galaxy s4 and really liked it. I've messed around with quite a few cases and that one is definitely my favorite. I was also looking at the Incipio Dualpro, not sure if that fixes the IR Blaster problem.
Mine is on its way as well, I'll look into ways to modify it to keep the IR blaster. I don't really use the feature at school but I like to show my friends the feature. Will update on the case when I get it
My mom has the same type of case for her iphone and its sexy. definitely my favorite case especially for this phone because it mimics the design of the phone
i pre-ordered mine, and it was shipped yesterday, cant wait till it gets here!
I really want the gunmetal one, but it's a shame I'll have to wait until April 30th!
I bought my case off their ebay page since it was only $14. Honestly I didn't even realize that I purchased a TPU case until it got here and for the record, I hate hate hate TPU cases.
With that said, this might be one of the nicest cases I have ever put on a phone. Not only is it crystal clear with the cut outs perfect, but its a perfect fit. Just amazing.
2 more quick points... The buttons actually feel a little better to the touch and the IR blaster works perfectly.
Another perfect Spigen case.
Crystal clear? Are you sure that is the slim armor?

Ordered on March 26th
Shipped on April 7th
Delivered on April 11th
Unfortunately the UPS tracking number that was provided in my Amazon account does not even resemble a normal UPS tracking number so I am unable to tell when it will arrive. However when it does, I will be sure to come back and give it a run down.
EDIT: It looks like this was shipped straight from the manufacturing facility in Korea to Spigen in California...then to me. Hence the reason the UPS tracking did not show up via conventional UPS.com tracking.
For anyone who per-ordered and has a UPS Tracking # that does not show up via ups.com. It will show up if you go to UPS Mail Innovations.
First impressions of case: Fits phone very well, feels great in the hand...the only negative I see is the lack of an IR window. But other than that...it's a keeper.

Same here, guessing they are shipping it from wherever it's made in China. I'm refusing it either way, no IR and sounds like it's more bulky than I want.
Hello All,
It seems to me that none of the big boys in the case market don't think there is a market to make cases for the Nexus line of phones (5x/6p).
I've sent emails to UAG and lunatik, a facebook message to Otterbox and got the responses that there is either no information or no interest in making the cases for these phones.
This is a call for you to bug those companies to show them there is demand for good quality cases for the Nexus line of phones.
Once the reviews come out there will be more demand but for now let's make some noise and email or flood the Facebook pages to let them know that we want the cases.
If we can show them there's people who will buy them maybe they will get their head out of their asses and put in the effort
Post who you have emailed and update with responses. With some luck and effort, we might be able to change their minds
There is a similar post in the 6p accessories forum. if we are to get anywhere we need to work together
Otterbox: https://www.facebook.com/otterbox
Diztronic: Cases coming over the next couple of weeks
UAG: [email protected]
Tech 21: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/contacts
Incipio: [email protected]
Spigen: Cases coming over the next couple of weeks
Cover up: [email protected]
Lunatik: [email protected] (these cases are beyond durable and sexy as hell)

I wish UAG would make cases for this phone, but it sounds like they will not. I already posted on their Facebook page day 1 and also filled out their online form that users can request what new phones they want added. However I highly doubt we will see any cases from them, they have great cases but their phone support is abysmal
List updated
I contacted Seidio and they said that they didn't have any plans at the moment to make a case for the N5X. Although I did hear this same answer from them before when the N5 came out. Seidio eventually made cases for the N5 and I'm hoping that they make the same cases for the 5X since I love using their belt clip case for my N5. I personally like to use a belt clip case because I find it uncomfortable to have my phone in my pocket.
Now that the phones are starting to ship, let's bug the manufacturers again
Sent from my Nexus 5
tech21 told me they do not have plans to produce a case for the N5X
Hey all
Since the new nexus devices are getting amazing reviews and selling like hot cakes, maybe we should send another round of messages to the manufacturers again to see if they have changed their mind

Hello all,
I have found a good looking, protective case from punkcase.com.
I wanted to ask if someone has experience with the case? I have bought this one yesterday afternoon: Note 8 case from Punk Case
My thoughts: Even though they advertise it as waterproof and ip68 certified, which raised some questions to me since the note 8 already is waterproof, I decided to try it. In less then 24 hours they gave me a tracking ID from DHL and I am currently awaiting to recieve the order. I'll post pictures once I recieved my case.

Well, I had this case for my s8+ just few weeks ago. The case was build very similar to the Ghostek Nautical case. In fact, I had them side by side to compare (sorry, no pictures since I returned both the cases). The only reason I returned them was they were too big and bulky. Your phone would look like a tank. Besides that, the case felt nice. I did the waterproof test myself (with a piece of paper towel inside) and it worked great. Overall, the case felt very protective and looked great. Just too big for me.

Thank you for ur input! I appreciate the feedback.
This case doesn't get a lot of love on Amazon.
I would like to know any more of a follow up on the ones who have this case. I'm debating on buying one for my wife an myself. Any pics? Or videos?

Yes. I wouldn't say they are outstanding, pretty much you get what you pay for. I think that they are slightly lower quality than OtterBox. Less bulky though. I will probably get one if it includes a belt clip
They seem to offer alot of options that mount to their cases. They even have a cupholder flex arm car mount (used to use one that didn't clip the phone years back).
The question is that proprietary mount on the case reliable? If it slips loose, or peels off the case it's a fail. If it's secure and doesn't accidentally come undone it could be a great choice.

in retrospect this isn't the one that I thought it was. I am looking at reviews on Amazon for some of their previous products. Honestly they don't seem very good. I am probably going to pass. But I am like you, and hoping to find a nice rugged case that doesn't add a ton of bulk.
I'm still waiting for Rhinoshield to start selling their case. That's what I'll be getting.
anyone have thoughts on the spigen casetough armor?
The Ringke Fusion x is due out next week according do another post, I quite like that one.
https://forum.xda-developers.com/oneplus-7t/accessories/ringke-fusion-x-t3993107
I just got this case to tide me over until something better is released. I'd never even heard of the company, but for just over $10 with shipping I figured I'd give it a shot.
I'd say it's good, but not great. Definitely better than the case that came with the phone.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07Y2SNMD...nt Protective Cover for OnePlus 7T（New Black）
That fusion x is probably about the best bet. The one I posted is really cool but I'd rather get a product from an American warehouse. The one in op even strips retail packaging for shipment from China unless specified.
Maybe they will end up on Amazon too? Could get both the. Lol >_>
