Case: nillikin
Color: white
Phone: White Verizon Galaxy note II
NFC: Operational
Screen protector: Included
Cost: $8-9 usd
Purchase location: EBAY
Protection details: Case covers the back and sides but leaves the silver edges on the top and bottom visible and unprotectected.
The case has a small lip around the sides so if you place your phone face down the screen stays protected.
WARNING:
This case is not intended to protect your phone from drops because it is extremely thin and offers no 2nd layer of impact protection.
Material Quality and Feel:
Case is made up of a white hard plastic like your standard tpu cases and feels smooth all around. (The texture on the back does not create a grippy feeling)
The quality of materials are definitely under average and you can tell by slight defecrs of how the case was cut out of its constructed templates. When I feel around the outside and inside of the case you see and feel small jagged pieces of plastic that stayed behind when the case was cut from its molding or template. The inside pieces have also slightly scuffed the side silver trim as well.
Case color is very prone to getting discolored when being taken in and out of denim jean pockets. I loved the color right out of the box but im definitely hesistant to recommend this white color because of the discoloration issue. (Cannot wipe away discoloration)
My positives: Looks clean out of box and its thinness adds no bulk to the phone.
Included screen protector is a fingerprint magnet but is actually decent enough quality for me to keep on for awhile.
Negatives: color gets stained/dirty easily and un removable. Imperfections on outside and inside of plastic damage phone and your hand (not cuts but just irritates me feeling the pieces)

Looks can be deceiving. Always thought the textured back would give more grip...

I have the black one and I absolutely love it. It feels good in the hand. I don't have any rough plastic areas, so maybe the op got a bad one. I must admit the case fits very firmly on the phone which makes it difficult to remove.

Your probably right, I may have gotten a bad one. Would probably have liked the black one because the white one looks ugly after it discolors.

Mine is the BobjGear case:

Currently using Nillkin Case
Nillkin Smart Wake Up Cover Folio Case
Quality is quite good and my nexus 7 sits firmly

I've had my Portenzo Hardback on my N7 for a long time now. Holding up very well under lots of use.
I have a Red external, black nylon strap, and white internal. It looks similar to the red one in this picture with the exception of the white inside.
That Nillkin case looks great too.

This has been working pretty well for me. Makes it much easier to hold, weighs 3.8 oz; no complaints. Although I found it quite funny that they cut out a slot at the side for connecting to the dock when it obviously would not fit with the case on, not that I have a dock.

Moko Slim for the win!...when she's not behind my dashboard

Is the Moko Slim case the only one that has that strap for one-handed use? I really want one that let's me hold it for an extended period without strain.

I've got one of the generic eBay type cases, bought from Amazon, that has the clip style front and it comes with the strap on the inside front flap/cover.

It does have a strap for the hand, along with a place to hold your stylus (one of the few cases that does so, and a well enjoyed feature for me).
I personally don't find the strap to be incredibly
comfortable, and I don't use a it a whole lot. It does, however, provide excellent support for using the device with one (or two?) hands.
The case is surprisingly durable as well, withstanding a head spinning about of drops without the slightest bit of damage to the device (case can be easily dented though).
When you factor in the features, durability and overall slim profile, this case is definitely with your attention. Plus, who doesn't love a stand?

anyone get the speck case?

if so please post pictures as well as a review.
thank you

i Broke down and ordered the black one.. I will report back when i do

I'd love to see it too. I got the clear adopted case for my 5x.

It's totally worth the price. Below are some photos.
Slides in and put of pockets very nicely. Phone feels very slim even with this case on.
The rubber on the back helps you hold onto the phone when using it with one hand, and it doesn't get stuck on your pants pockets because it isn't too sticky nor is it a lint magnet.
Also the lip on the front of the case is stiff and high enough to keep the screen off the ground if it is dropped face first.
Also the buttons are very clicky which is nice. I had a spigen case on my nexus 5 and it ruined the feel of the buttons.

There's a video review on YouTube

A customer came in today with a speck on their gs6 and it felt great. Buttons were clicky and awesome. I hope the 5x is as nice

I will confirm that the buttons are very clicky. No much like on cheap tpu cases.
Sent from my Nexus 5X using Tapatalk

I ordered the black one because it bothered me that the whites were different shades of white

I received the black one yesterday. I ordered an el cheapo case for work from amazon but I hated it, the Speck case fixes all the problems I had with it.

Can you post a few pictures of the black one please? All reviews so far ive seen have been for the white one

The black one would obviously look best on the black phone. Not sure that model is as popular.

I have the white one on the black phone. Love it. I've always liked the Speck Candy Shell cases.

Mine will be the black case on a white phone

Case came in today... It feels great. I love it.. I dont see myself buying another case.. And im usually a 7-8 cases kinda guy

I would have bought the white one too but I'm a construction worker and my hands are always filthy. As a matter of fact, I would have bought the quartz 5X but went for the carbon one for the same reason. Black on black for me.

Same here this is the highest quality case I have ever had in a phone. I've had otterbox and spigen cases before but this is sooo much higher quality.
Now I know why most iPhone users have this case.

Cases that are supposed to protect the camera

This is important because the camera is raised and might be easily scratched.
Please add links in replies (and if you have received the case, a review)
Cimo heavy duty, Amazon ("Raised bezels protect screen and camera from surface contact")
Nillken TPU case, ebay looks like raised circle around camera

amazon.co.uk/dp/B01LEQTIOM/ref=pe_1909131_77697121_tnp_email_TE_AMZLdp_2 I received this case a few days ago, it has the all important raised ring around the camera, feels pretty durable without adding much bulk, certainly better than the 99p eBay cases I've bought for phone's in the past. It fits very tightly too which I'm happy with but could prove a bit annoying if you're planning to be removing it a lot to use Moto mods. It also has a cutout where the pins are for the Moto mods although I'm not sure what the point in this is seeing as they don't fit on top of it, all in all though I'm very happy with it, I got it in gold to match the metal sides and I don't think it looks too tacky either.

The bump was little big than the normal. Does the case helps to protect the bump??

Nillikin case has a hump to cover the camera completely

I got this a few days ago. Fits well, and has a little bump for the camera to keep it elevated slightly. Working great so far.

Hi there, I'm currently using one on my Moto Z. Check out the link below for the review.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/moto-z/accessories/review-nillkin-frosted-shield-t3488773

To add to this, I've got a IVSO slim hard shell case (which I think is the same as the Nillken) that fits very well, is nice and grippy and has a raised lip to protect the camera
Button cutouts are fine too

Looks nice but unless I'm wrong that doesn't protect the camera at all.

I'm extremely surprised and pleased with the quality and presentation of this case. Plus it comes with 2. Highly recommended!

Tech21 Cases

Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?

Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

Yes, they are quite expensive.

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

I understand that but sometimes magnetics can mess with the S pen

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
