Anyone use generic Defender cases? Are they as good? - Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Accessories

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

Neoprene Case

Anyone have a site with decent neoprene cases for the streak? Want to get one like the one that comes with the nexus one or at least something similiar
Have a look on EBAY
Otterbox.com do the best ones, cheap ones on ebay are normally slightly lacking in protection for such a device

[Q] Where to buy otterbox cases in NYC?

Anyone know where i could find an otterbox case in NYC? I checked best buy's website and the nearest one that "supposedly has it in store" is in New Jersey. Any other stores that may sell them?
Seen several ebay resellers from NYC on ebay with them when I bought mine last week. The defender is awesome and love the beltclip/stand.
ebay i got a commuter for 18 bucks and love it!
I just recieved my otterbox commuter case (from ebay) and WOW. Beautiful, I love it.
I suspect the OP wants to go into a proper shop and buy one guys.

Please check out the web store of SF Planet. They sell Good Quality Otterbox on Offer Sale now. I bought it last week and its good. Avail the offer using OTT30OFF and free shipping too all over the US.
I have one Defender and Commutter case. I want to sell one.
which one you need???

Smart case from UK?

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:

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$.

Why are people getting the Seido Surface instead of the Best Buy Platinum series?

Forgive me if I sound daft, but I have been browsing the forums looking for the best case that would protect my phone. I am deciding between either the Otterbox Commuter, Trident Aegis, Ballistic, Seido Surface, or the Best Buy Platinum Series Case. I am leaning towards the Seido, but have heard somewhat mixed reviews about how it attracts lint, and how it seems loose at times. What I am wondering is, I have heard that the Platinum Series case and the Seido Surface are exactly the same, but with a different logo. If this is true, why are people purchasing the seido case when they can save almost 20 dollars, and get the one from best buy?
Is there some difference that I haven't caught?

I haven't seen one at best buy yet. The ones here don't have anything at all for this phone.
Has anyone actually seen one at best buy?

Was just at a Best Buy today and they had no cases for the GN II. Here's the Platinum Series kickstand case online:
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Platinum+Series+-+Kickstand+Case+for+Samsung+Galaxy+Note+II+Mobile+Phones+-+Black/7175042.p?skuId=7175042&id=1218832287567
I purchased one from best buy, in store. They only had one so they must have a very limited supply. It was only $34 for the surface with holster. Great deal! I did take mine back as i just got my otterbox defender in. The case and holster were very nice quality though, no complaints! While the sedio is much slimmer i wanted the extra protection of the defender and the ability to place the phone in the holster screen out. I am using the holster as my car mount so having the screen out capability was a must!
I pcked my Best buy Platinum case on Sunday and it is very good quality. I am very pleased with how the case feels and how the holder works. It was on sale for $29.99.

The three best buys near me don't have any cases for the note 2 except the crappy flip cover.
I tried to get the PT case, but every store in Houston was sold out, except the one in the Galleria...which is an absolute traffic nightmare during Christmastime. I'm thinking of getting the store near me to to a transfer, or maybe they'll get more in stock.
Anyone got a review on this case?
Can anyone try the spen around the kick stand?
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
The platinum brand is in fact made by seidio. Same case. Best Buy Platinum brand. It even says seidio on the bottom of the packaging fyi

Any videos of this case? I want to see it lol
Id also like to know if any one had tested the spen near the kickstand. Someone posted a pic of how the magnet curves lines where the spen is, can't seem to find it now though.
A good reason is that not everyone lives in the USA and has a Best Buy on the same continent On the other hand, Seidio ships all over the world, and as do eBay sellers.
Because Best Buy does not deserve my money. That place sucks.
I have the platinum bb case. It IS a seidio surface case and holster. I immediately checked out the Spen around the kickstand cuz I'd heard complaints about the seidio active, and I have zero issues. All works well.

I decided to feed the beast because they're close by and I did manage to find one in stock. Also a fair bit cheaper than buying online and having it shipped. Buy online for instore pickup FTW!
However, NO THANKS WHATSOEVER to the best buy at 99 and 1093. I asked those turdburglers if they were in stock at the store that I'm going to go pick it up at this evening...they said "NOPE". Of course, that store could have got stock in, but I doubt it. Furthermore, they didn't offer to do a store transfer that did have one (and I wasn't smart enough to ask.) Their customer service blows.

LG - QuickWindow Folio Case for $4.99 at bestbuy.com

Hi,
Just bought this case at bestbuy.com. Only black one is on sale. Can not post a link because I am new to xda.
Nice, very nice, thanks for the heads up. I have a burgundy one (they're still expecting $49.99 for that, I mean really...) so I'll probably snag the black one considering the price which is vastly more reasonable.
I swear, cases these days, what incredible rip-offs in terms of pricing. These folio cases are like $3 worth of raw materials, even if you tripled it to pay for design/manufacturing/packaging expenses and to make at least some profit that would be acceptable, but $49.99 retail? Ugh... glad the burgundy one I have came with the G2 I bought used 'cause I'd never in a bazillion years pay that much for a case.
Crazy stuff... and the link just in case anyone is interested:
