Hi there,
I am looking for a case for my Note. I am seriously sick of flip cases. I don't see any good use for them as they just add a layer of annoyance for me.
What I am looking for is a case that wraps around the corners.
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-note-2-cases/galaxy-note-2-case-ultra-thin-air.html
Like this but wrapping the top and bottom too.
I have a few bumps and scratches I would like to hide.
I can't find a case.
Isn't there any case prefably made out of leather or even faux leather that just wraps my phone ?
edit/
This is acutally exactly what I want (bare in mind this is a case for the Note not the Note2 !!!
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
1) very similar to ultra thin air and the like but covers a little better and has good reviews from people on xda: http://www.amazon.com/DBA-Cases-Abu...32909&sr=8-1&keywords=dba+cases+galaxy+note+2
2) casemate tough- thinnest case that provides protection comparable to aegis, uag, and otterbox: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...&sr=1-6&keywords=casemate+tough+galaxy+note+2
3) closest thing you will find to a thin leather case but with no protection on top or bottom: http://www.zoarah.com/foxjail-air-pocket-case-for-galaxy-note-2.html
The last one definetely goes into the right direction but it looks pretty damn ugly to be honest.
This is the case I use on my iPad
http://www.spigen.com/tablets/apple/ipad-2/spigen-sgp-ipad-2-leather-case-griff-series.html
I would be totaly fine with something along that lines. Even if it doesn't cover the top or bottom.
This would be the exact thing I am looking for (unfortunately it's for the Note)
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/sgp-samsung-galaxy-note-case-ultra-capsule-series.html
i have the white one and it looks really good

Ah sorry I should have mentioned that I do not want TPU cases. I have 2 of them already and I don't like TPU cases as they bend and can be "pressed" away.

lol, you do realize that the ultra capsule that "you exactly want" is Made from 100% TPU material. look at the information on the website itself. anyway, the closest thing i know that makes that is the mercury tpu case here (i own a white one- it's definitely a great tpu- not flexible like the cruzerlite cases- its a harder tpu for sure -very similar to the ultra capsule (i owned two for my galaxy note 1)): http://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Flexi...053&sr=1-2&keywords=mercury+tpu+galaxy+note+2
Case Mate Tough....slim but provides good protection. Inner layer is a TPU bumper with a hard shell.

that Spigen Note 1 case is TPU.
"SGP's Ultra Capsule case not only enhances the look of your device but also protects your phone from scratches and drops. It is made from thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), a very tough and flexible material. It can be twisted freely but will never stretch, deform, or rip."
If you want a non-TPU case that covers the corners and edges your options are: Speck, UAG, Otterbox, Duzign, Seido, Body Glove, and Case Mate.
I purchased the one in the link below. Very happy with it.

How 'bout the Galaxy Note II Body Glove Diamond Shell Case?
Hi All,
I'm looking for a new case, I want it to fit my tight jeans front pocket (now I have the Wrapsol front and back SP on my N2 and the only downside is that the bezel is not protected).
I thought about the Mercury case or some slim bumper.
Any recommendation ?
Thanks
I would get the Boxwave bamboo case, i have it and it's good protection cause it has a lip that protrudes over the edges just enough to most likely protect your screen & scren protector and its like $7 us dollars

Your best option is Case-Mate Tough http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=37884573&postcount=105
Thank you guys for the suggestions, but I'm looking for a real slim case, I know that it will be with the cost of the protection but for that I have the UAG. I looking for a case with the Mercury dimensions~ but maybe with higher quality.
There is no other alternative. The slimmest you can go is skin-like TPU case. It will not offer much of a protection, and I had Mercury before - sorry, but its a slippery, glittery case with hardly any lip protection. The *only* relatively slim case that will offer you a drop protection, and I mean to the point that it will survive occasional drop on a concrete or stone pavers its Tough. There are a lot of other cases that are kind of slim and will offer you a decent drop protection, better than Tough, but nothing I have seen that comes close to slimness of Tough (check out my review link in signature for reviews of all the popular cases and even face off comparison).
The title of your thread is "Slim lightweight case with maximum protection ?". I guess "maximum protection" is a subjective term. I don't think the Mercury case (or any TPU case) or a bumper case offers that. If you want slim + max protection, then I strongly recommend the Speck Candyshell. The Samsung Protective Cover + is also good combo of slim and protection.
I didn't make this video.
Have you seen this thread? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2192013
Not sure about the protection as I just ordered mine today, but for $2.25 probably wouldn't hurt to try it out. Looks very, very slim in the pics. I also have the Speck Candyshell, very slim case. My only gripe about is the rubber around the lip is peeling and starting to look funky. It wasn't a cheap case, so I'm a little disappointed in that.

I completely agree. The rubber peeling on my case is minor and purely cosmetic (doesn't affect protection). It compliments all the scratches on the glossy black plastic to give the case a vintage look LOL. I got my case in December 2012.

Mine is in. I would consider the protection minimal, less than the Mercury, because the case is mostly open on both ends. I like the material, and it is slim. However it only offers scratch protection on the back of the case, no real drop protection.
i have to agree with vectron. the other two cases mentioned seem nice, but if you want quality, i would go with the Case-Mate Tough. Like vectron, I have many cases as well including the UAG, Tough, Mercury, Cruzerlite TPU (like the boxwave mentioned), Duzign Valor Slim, Elago Slim cases (black one is just like the $2.25 one mentioned), and the ITSkins Lava. The top 3 for protection in this order and feel are the 1) Casemate Tough (slim/protective) 2) UAG (slightly bulky (but skinnier than the rest of the cases out there like defender and commuter etc) with max protection)) 3) Duzign Valor (this case is only $6 and the feel is a soft matte/rubbery feel that is not slippery at all- the colors are amazing and I already dropped my phone on concrete with it from 4 feet- the case is smart- it has more than enough edge protection to protect the face and it protected my phone from any major damage- however, the downside is the top and bottom like all the slim cases (Elago, Spigen Ultra Thin, $2.25 case, etc) is that the top and bottom are not covered. My phone landed on the top unfortunately, and only a tiny scratch happened- the rest of the phone was unaffected and the case also was unaffected).
So, for every day use for a careful guy, Duzign is perfect- they also come in many different colors/feels. For every day use for a slightly clumsy person (I was wearing the wrong jacket with really open pockets when I dropped mine and was shaking my jacket up without realizing how big my pockets were and my phone jumped out, lol), I would go with the Case-Mate Tough- it's my current go to case at the moment. Finally, for a guy who just throws his phone onto the table or doesn't care if it falls down from time to time, the UAG is the best. That thing is beautiful and a beast- I have the white one and my Note 2 is white.
Here's a link for all the Duzign cases- they even have a leather one now: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=sr_nr_n...duzign&ie=UTF8&qid=1363965798&rnid=2941120011
here are my pics of all my cases so you can compare:
Top Row (Left to Right): Custom Case-Mate Tough, Custom Case-Mate Tough, Case-Mate Tough (original- my current fav), Mercury TPU, Cimo TPU, Cruzerlite TPU
Bottom Row (Left to Right): UAG Navigator, Elago Slim, Elago Slim, Duzign Valor, Duzign Valor
There's a case called six abundant. I'm using it. It's kind of like the rearth slim case but it offers more eprotection especially for the top and bottom bezel. It was only $10.

This is very helpful information. Thank you :good:
How are the Tough dimensions compare to the Mercury TPU case (It seems like they are the same except from the thickness ) ?

You're very welcome. The Mercury is very similar in dimensions to the Tough. However the Mercury doesn't protect very well on the edges around the front nor does it line up perfectly like the Tough.
I want a very thin case/shell (not a TPU) that protects also the bottom chrome part

like this one.....
Just placed an order for the Black Case-Mate Tough. I will come back with my impression.
Thank you all.
Hey everyone, so I know there's a few thread about cases which I've read through. But what I'm looking for is any info on good quality clear cases.
The main factor I like is the appearance. It's just about time a company really put an effort into the looks as well as the performance of a current Gen smartphone.
So my question is what clear cases are out there that some of you possibly already have or have seen online? I've scoured amazon and other sites and found some good ones, but still haven't found the "one".
Currently I own the otterbox commuter (too big, covers whole phone), the supcase hybrid with clear back which is what I currently have on. And I placed an order yesterday for the exact prism case with the clear back. Though I now realize the prism and supcase are probably the same exact case....
My issue with the supcase hybrid clear back is the scratches that accumulate so easily on the back. Most of the cases out there are simply cheap. Some are very good for the money but I'm looking for long lasting durable quality.
I have an eye on the supcase unicorn beetle hybrid as well but my turn off is the back being frosted to the point that you can't see the detail or shine of the m8. At least that's what I've seen in pictures.
I'll use an all clear or some kind of hybrid bumper clear back case. I also saw the griffin reveal case, but I can't find any good pics. And from the description it looks like it's the same material as the supcase bumper hybrid. I was hoping the griffins clear back would be a solid hard scratch resistant material.
I've also seen the case mate barely there and some others. So if any of you have any other clear or partly clear cases please post some feedback on how you like them and pics would be great too!

Yes it is.
Just a word of caution with clear cases, they have a tendency to collect lint and crap which is easily noticeable. I had the cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit Case clear and ended up selling it to a buddy. The pocket lint and crap collects under it and bugged the crap out of me. I cancelled my clear UAG order and changed it to black in fear of the same problem.
Now this might not bother some, but bothered me enough to share.
I have the Spigen® [STRONG-FLEX] Capsule Clear Ultra Fit (TPU), it's pretty nice:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...tiveASIN=B00IF5B218&linkCode=shr&tag=cshus-20
Makes me feel like I can toss my phone on the table or something and it will be OK. Doesn't seem to scratch or yellow. Makes handling the phone more fun since I don't have to be so delicate and it seems durable while showing off the nice aluminum case.

I also have this case. Some people have said the edges look yellow. Um no. If the lighting in the room has some yellow in it then it will look like that on the thick sides. This is a very nice case with covered buttons for volume and power. And exact cut outs for everything including back mic, flash and camera lenses. Vs flash and one of the camera lenses being one cut out for both.

I too have the case but pictures using flash don't look right. Almost like the case diffuses the flash light so it's not direct out as well at the object you are photographing. I also have a qi receiver under my case in order to have wireless charging so now I have a black tpu case coming today to hide the qi receiver.

I have this case as well. I like how the power and volume buttons are covered. I can see where some say the case looks yellow, but you really have to take a close look to even notice.
All in all I am happy with the case. My one complaint is a sharp line that extents all around the back of the phone. I think it would have been better to have made this smooth as it would be more comfortable in hand.
Dropped my phone on the bleachers at the game, found my volume up button dented in, non-functional.
Pried it out, unbent it a bit and got it back in, works.
Bummed the case let that happen though. And agree about the sharp edge.

Unfortunately, my clear spigen case has a slight yellowing to it. This was present in purchase, so beware. Otherwise, it is a very good protector that allows the m8's looks to shine.

Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.
I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.
I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

It wouldn't be as good as the bigger cases but I don't think it would do that badly... Spigen make good cases.
Yeah the sides I don't really notice.. Its probably one of only types of case out currently like this, the rest are a little bigger and bulky

I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and it is pretty good.
However the Samsung Clear Cover Case is far superior and you don't even notice it is there
Something about clear cases that I don't like. On the sides it looks weird. I have a clear one but it's just clear on the back the sides are colored.

I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

It fits with dome glass. Just got done installing mine. Lots of room.
I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.

Otterbox symmetry. The best and slim.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.
I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.
I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!

I have that one does your finger print scaner work with that case? I had to cut mine out a little.
I browsed the thread for thin cases, and while there are some good suggestions there, I think I'd like to go with something a little beefier.
What are some favorites in the not thin category? Right now I'm leaning towards the
Spigen Tough Armor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08GF9554...olid=1QS9U7KHNWE1G&psc=1&ref_=lv_ov_lig_dp_it, which doesn't look to be too huge and bulky but I wouldn't consider it thin either.
Anything else?
Thin cases with little protection don't cut it.
For my 10+ the Zizo Bolt case is near perfect. Not very thick or bulky with excellent drop protection... I've inadvertently tested more than I care to
Unfortunately this phone is still too new, in time one will be punched out for it.
Here's one for the 7T

Get a case with good corner/face plant with a raised cam guard for now. A two layered case with a outer polycarbonate shell and a stiff urethane liner seem to do best which one reason a like the Bolt so much. I rarely use the snap on clip back (3 layers) but when in it the phone is very well protected.
I just got my order in. I've had several Poetic cases and I've been very happy with all of them. I've got one on my 7 Pro and 8 can't wait to pop this one on my 8T https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08NHTTPXT?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
I use this Spigen Case on my 8T, pretty happy with it

I have both the Spigen Hybrid , nice case but a finger print magnet.. the Tough Armor is really nice my main case though I wish it came without the little kick stand.. and the Ringke Fusion Camo version is also really nice similar to the Hybrid but with way less finger prints..
I love my dbrand Grip case. It goes over the edges of the screen, feels sturdy, has extra grip on the sides, has a microfiber backing on the inside, and is just all-around solid. Been using it for almost four months now.
