With the otterbox on the way and this I'm not to sure on what to get. I'm thinking this one so i can put a Glass.T on it. Otterboxes have a screen built in and i'd hate to have to cut a case. Anyways here are some details from the site.

here is a video of the original note with the case on so you can get an idea of thickness
and here is a kind of regular guy review of Shell Gel cases
The pics of the note 2 look nicer than the note 1 videos. I might consider this. Thanks.
Nice, considering this case also.

I have this on my HTC sensation and its awesome. I recommended this to my friend as well and he love it. I'm waiting to get it for my wife's note its just solid and doesn't feel bulky in the pocket and I've dropped twice from seat height and all is well. Better than the over priced over rated otterbox which was great when first released now they are just out to make money. No quality in them anymore.

Just like the case I had on my GS2 and loved it. Saved my phone many times over.

I was saddened when I learned SGP is not making the Glas.T protector for the Note 2. This curved glass thing is irritating. But, their ultra crystal is amazing, I highly recommend it.

Looking at what is currently available and in development for the GN2, I'm wondering which of the premium protective "shock/drop absorbing" cases do you most prefer and why? The cases I feel best fit this category are (no particular order):
• Trident Aegis (Kraken won't be developed)
• Seidio Active
• Ballistic Shell Gel
• Otterbox Commuter
• Otterbox Defender
What Say You? Which do you prefer and why? If you already have one or experience with them for other devices, then please also share the info.

I'd probably go with a SGP screen protector and go with the Ballistic Shell Gel, Trident Aegis, or Otterbox Commuter. I don't think the Defender will be a great fit especially if you love having a smooth surface for the S-Pen. Seido's known for a loose fit and the metal concerns me. I love ballistic's drop protection (corners and lay flat). I've heard good things about trident cases and I'm gonna give them a shot. Otterbox has lived off its name these couple of years and has regressed in function and quality. For Now, I hope one of these inexpensive ebay/amazon cases do the job until I get a permanent case.
I've only ever owned an Otterbox Defender of all the tough cases. It was for my old evo 3d but I fully believed in it. It makes even tiny phones giant monsters so I can't imagine what it would do to out phone.
My friends thought it was huge too so to show them that it was worth putting my phone in for the hike we were on one day I literally tossed it down the trail downhill and showed them my phone was perfectly fine.

Hi,
Please give me some advices....Which one better? Body Glove Diamond Brushed VS SGP Slim Armour VS SGP Neo Hybrid
Anyone using can give me some feedbacks...
Thanks!
The SGP Slim Armour, due to the way it is designed, can easily crack where the thin plastic along the buttons are, so I wouldn't recommend it. I'd personally prefer the SGP Neo Hybrid over the Body Glove because it looks and feels slimmer. The Body Glove should provide more protection though, so the choice depends on whether you'd want looks or function. The Neo Hybrid should still provide a bit of protection.
Official case. No doubt. I've been using them for over a year and no problems, all pros.
I just recently got the note 2, traded a iphone 5 for it after that crap ios7 came out. One thing I noticed is cases for this phone are far and few between. I have found one I love though, it is the uag case. Very slim and fits very well with great protection.

I also use UAG, saved my brand new note II recently from rendezvous with concrete, UAG didn't even get a scratch.
One con is that back orange plate is on the loose sometimes. Great design, not so massive, but very good protection and it is cheap compared to others. I've got lcd foil for free, every hole is drilled like it should be.
Have you looked at the otterbox OP?

Better in terms of what? Value, quality, protection, appearance, feel and size?
Please state what it is that you're looking for specifically in a case.
Myself, am using the UAG Scout and Navigator, and both are fantastic due to its great drop protection and cool looks.
Got this faux leather wallet case for the S6 Edge by caseen. Overall I give it about a 9/10 considering the price I got it for! The quality is fantastic and it has a lot functions (kickstand fold, credit card holders, cash pocket).
The case itself has really nice synthetic leather is almost real looking (but I confirmed before purchasing that it was indeed a thin soft kind of faux leather). I had a genuine leather case from them before for my ASUS Transformer T701T in the past, but I wouldn't spend the $40 I did since this is just a smartphone. Anyway, simply put the product is great as a wallet replacement that I use it for. I can carry around 3 credit cards and some cash with me with my phone and this has proven really convenient.
I've had similar designs in the past, but this one by caseen has a real luxury quality to it. The thickness of the inner leather holder is very thin. I had something else for my original galaxy S that was much thicker! This makes for a less bulky experience. I got it for a great price on Amazon the other day for about $7 shipped: http://www.amazon.com/caseen-Samsung-Leather-Pockets-Kickstand/dp/B00W649OO6
I chose this one due to price, but the thin quality faux leather and good stitch quality will definitely have me coming back should I break this. Already ordered the same for the regular Galaxy S6 for the wife. Hope my pictures do the talking, but I took them on my LG G2...
Thanks alan310 for a great review! Your pics look really good! The price on Amazon is a promotional one from a licensed of our dealer on Amazon. Thanks for getting the S6 Edge and S6 Ottimo wallet cases.

I'm using the Samsung rugged case, it's bulky but it's great.

Monarch case by UAG is doing good for me, not as thick as otter box, but has taken some waist high falls with no trouble so far.
Check this out at Amazon.com

I work in construction, as well. The case I'm looking for needs to be dust and waterproof, so I researched them all. Most are not dust-tight, or waterproof, at all, but there are a couple. I reviewed two on here the other day, and that thread is down just a bit from this one.
ArmorX is what I'm using, right now. As soon as Juggernaut gets theirs out for the Note 8, I'm probably dropping the money on one... I've seen the Juggernaut cases take some serious abuse, and I'm pretty sure that whatever they come out with for the Note 8 is going to be the most protection you can get on the market.
I'm using this case: https://www.spigen.com/collections/galaxy-note-8/products/galaxy-note-8-case-rugged-crystal
It's so cute and sexy but may not be suitable with construction.

i use the unicorn beetle and can confirm it is the best. i work construction. it has flaps to keep dust out your ports but at the same time isnt super bulky
i need two cases, one rugged for outdoors and one sleek / slim for everyday use. Both should be Whitestone OK as well.

How long have you been using that case? I'm reading on Amazon that some people are saying on the first drop their screen broke with that case.
Love the UAG Monarch. I haven't dropped my phone yet (fortunately), but it feels so solid and protective while maintaining a much slimmer profile than the Otterbox.
Is the supcase unicorn pro with the screen protector have a soft or hard inner case design? Does the N8 sit on hard or soft plastic?
