I can't find a case for this phone anywhere online. I checked amazon and googled it. People were talking about samsung.com, but I don't see anything specifically for the note 2 there. Can everyone just post links of places they got their cases? I really want a case before I destroy the phone. Thanks!

Samsung.com.
Shop products -> Cell Phone Accessories. Should be 20 pages of stuff
Filter for "Cases and Holsters" on the left. Should be 4 pages now.
Go to page 4. Official Samsung flip cover ($40) and protective case ($30) are there in 2 colors each. Use the 50% coupon from thread at the top of this forum.
Also, there is always eBay, and I heard Sprint stores have cases in stock. My T-Mobile store had no accessories
There are not many US-based retailers that have cases for sale at reasonable prices. I have a slew of them coming through eBay but most of them are third-party and shipping from Hong Kong. I checked the T-Mobile store nearby only to find that they did not have any accessories in stock and did not have any idea when they'd be getting them in.
Samsung.com, when I last checked yesterday, did not have any of the flip covers in stock for the Note 2. I put in a backorder on them but have no received an email yet.
Amazon.com, has mostly third-party accessories as well and it's difficult to find the correct items. Keep in mind that you can search for N7100, N7105, SGH-T889, SGH-i317 and many other model numbers.
Hoping within the next week or two that more US retailers begin carrying accessories.
Sprint
Anybody checked if Sprint has any accessories either?
Just called up T-Mo again, and again, "sorry, nothing yet. Looks as we got the phones early or something". Sigh...I think I got a simple one that should be here by next Monday...from Amazon.com
Well that's lame I'd really like to protect my phone. Can you guys post links to the few cases you are finding? I mean why can't we buy from European retailers sites? It's like they aren't selling cases yet either...
Just checked and Samsung.com is indeed out of the Flip cover, but they have the Protective cover in White and Black in stock.
This one looks decent for $5 and free shipping on Amazon prime: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-HardBa...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I1D60SXXGX7LUY
This one is nice but seems priced high ($35). Also free Amazon prime shipping: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Samsung...UTF8&colid=3ZBGXS3A7E7Q&coliid=I2EC7ERBS5SP29
This is the one I ordered to get me by until better ones appear ($20): http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00961ADCO/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Those are good thanks! And it looks like there are more related too. These must have been added in the last couple days as I could find NOTHING on Amazon last week.

More and more cases are showing up each day. I ordered that Poetic flip case myself last night. Got a notification that it had dropped to $4.95, and there was no shipping cost (even without Prime), so it was pretty much a no-brainer.
Saw that about the Poetic case myself too. Went to order it today and they wanted to charge something like $25 for delivery to Europe Thanks but no thanks. Pity.
If you receive delivery I'd love to read a review

I'm particularly curious to know, when that case and the Note 2 arrive, if it can handle the phone inside of a TPU.
Speaking of TPUs, I haven't heard back from Diztronic yet on whether they're making TPUs for the Note 2. TPUs don't get any better than Diztronic, imo.
Wish there was a seidio case out.. Or something like it.. That was a nice case that protected well

I have bought quite a few cases for my Note original, and then my S3, and now a few for my Note 2, but i always come back to using this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-Gel-Sil...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item5d35b91c97
It is cheap and is relatively unobtrusive. It is thin and yet, sturdy enough to protect the phone from a drop from a table top. The sides wrap around the front of the touchscreen just enough to give it protection from putting it directly on a flat table top. The kick stand is very useful to stand this beautiful screen, especially for the kids to watch a show.

why so exepsnive? Because of shipping?
These cases are the best ones i've seen yet! I love the design of the surface where it is two different pieces like some iphone cases. The kickstand is nice too (wish could be in portrait mode)... but i guess only the black color is shipping? Anyone know when the other colors will be available?
bump ?
where does Seidio ship from?
Seido is in Houston TX. Was going to order with over night shipping with fb10 and total would of been $79. lol I just couldnt do it. Buyers remorse was sitting in before i could even press send. I will buy the case when they send them to Best Buy's under the name PT, or price goes down on website.

I am with you. We pay tax in Texas as well. You need a 20% off coupon to make it worth it. I have bought the cases off of Amazon and mobilecityonline for less after they have been out for a few weeks.
I got my case today!!!!!! I probably could have waited but I hate not having a holster and I love the design of the seidio holsters. I do however wish I would have got the surface case instead of the active because of the rubber they use. Everything such as lint and dust stick to it.

Oh yea after a few weeks it goes down to like $40. And best buy will have them for $40 as well. I like buying from best buy although i have a Amazon Prime membership, because my belt clip always breaks 3-4 months down the road. Best Buy always let's me exchange it. Also anyone getting this case i would go with the Surface case. The Active will really look like your holding a tablet to your head lol. I bought both many times for smaller phones. The active case is a rubber piece that goes over the surface case and then and hard plastic piece that goes on top of that lol

Actually the active case is not very big at all. It is slightly and i mean slightly bigger than the surface case.
thinking about purchasing the surface combo..its $57 total /w shipping after using the fb10 code
my question is...for anyone that has it already...is it crazy to have a phone this size on your hip? i carried all my previous phones on a belt clip but im wondering if it would look or feel really weird to have an almost tablet attached to your hip

I use that on my belt to carry my Note II around. It's so big that it it looks like I have a purse or wallet on my hip. It looks absolutely ridiculous and I care not one bit lol. And really it only looks big because of the size of the leather pouch itself. If the phone was in a case and holster, I don't think it would look bad at all. I hate having a phone in my pocket. I've been dying for a Seidio Surface case + holster, but at $60 shipped, I'm going to wait until it hits $40 at Best Buy or Amazon.
lol...im sure people are gonna be like what the....when they see it
i remember seeing a guy with a gigantic case + holster combo one time..im assuming it was the note 1...it looked really crazy
it stuck out like a sore thumb...as soon as i saw it i pointed it out to my friends..and they all already noticed before i said anything
so im assuming im gonna look crazy with it on my belt..i just picked up the note 2 tonight...im not sure if i can get used to the size...the screen size yes (that part is amazing) but carrying it around is my concern
So how else would you carry it? For myself, I'd be worried about messing it up in my pocket, plus I'd think it would be pretty uncomfortable.

I keep mine in my pocket all the time. It fits in my pocket better than my Amaze, it doesn't turn sideways in jeans or my slacks/suits.
I just make sure I don't have anything that can damage the phone in the same pocket. I also put it in my pocket with the screen facing my leg.

i dont know..for me the holster is really the only option that i want
many people put it in their pocket (honestly..idk how)...others buy the tablet-like cases and carry it as a tablet
girls can easily put it in their purses...as a guy i really dont have any ideas..which is why im hoping that buying a seidio combo works for me
Wanted to get a thin case so I decided to order two from Amazon. One from China the other from California. This S-line case is similar to the J-kase without all the branding. Cost less than 2.50 shipped. It took about 2-3 weeks to get to me. (east coast). It covers the phone entirely with a nice lip over the screen. Very thin and tight to the phone. Seems it could give a little bit of protection from small drops. The one from Cali is called Megix. It cost 9.99 shipped and looks similar to the Rock case. Has a sand paper type feel, not as gritty though. Very nice grip. Doesn't cover the whole phone, more of a stylish, backplate scratch protector type case. Does have a small lip to keep the screen off a flat surface, which is nice. Here are some pictures...
Wow, those 2 is exactly what I just ordered, I suppose to get the exact same slim grey case today from the tracking.
The s line tpu I ordered the black color instead of clear, for only $1.93 shipped, should get it in couple weeks.
Sometimes makes me wonder, less than 2 bucks for a decent case, minus ebay fee and postal, paypal fee, how the heck they make profit selling these?
That case looks better then the one I got from Amazon. Nice

Yeah it boggles my mind how they can sell a case for 2 cents and ship for less that 2.50 and make a profit. Definitely work the price for the two of them though....Yeah the gray rock look a like case has a good appeal to it. A dark gray the blends well with the phone.
Nice covers. I 'll order one too as the one i have has started to loosen. :/
I use the s line case. Really inexpensive and works great. No point in spending $20 on similar cases from a retail store.

More importantly is why we put up with places like best buy selling the same products for $20 or 30. Cables, screen protectors, chargers, cases, there's no reason why these stores markup these items so much.
I've likely saved hundreds by purchasing through eBay.

I got my friend to buy a UAG S3 case, over quality and build is nice. I actually like the new design better, sets it apart a bit, plus 10 bucks off with the promo code why not. I went through like 5 cases this one should be a keeper.
I ordered mine because I didn't like the otterbox commuter. This case looks good and seems rugged enough for my needs. That $10 off code seal the deal for me. I hope this one is a keeper.

For me its the feel and quality of the case. I don't like trendy hip cases. The design is what it is and I still bough the case because I have previously used a case from UAG. I would get an iPhone if I wanted cool design cases.

I ordered mine because I saw a lot of very positive reviews about their design and build quality. Not to mention the design looks very modern. There are only so many TPU cases you can own before they go stale. haha. I really wanted a Speck Pixel HD case, but it's been a while and hundreds of votes later they didn't really care. So I moved on. UAG case looks fresh, while the Case-Mate Tough case looks a little boring. One thing i loved about their tough case was all their silicone colors! I used to have it for my 9700 way back in the day and it was awesome to have so many colors but now they make a few and that's it. So... Pay 47 dollars (with european shipping) for a black on black case that's a little dated, or pay 30 dollars (with free shipping, so 23 euros that was taken from my bank account this morning) for a new design. hehe. I hope this is the case for me!

Well, at least they ship to the Netherlands for free.
Just ordered a black one.
Now I have to search for a way to put a metal plate inside to use it in the car (magnetized car holder)
Currently I am using the Tetrax car holder, but that means a (small) metal knob on the back. This way the phone cannot lay flat on the table. So, I am searching for a car holder which can hold the phone with that metal plate inside. (I once saw something like that, bu can't find it anymore)

Agreed, I think that's ridiculous and they don't even look that great. That's just an opinion though
I've been waiting for either this or the never-will-be-released-by-google case that you see in the official videos. I can't justify spending over a hundred dollars, but I'll definitely be getting the standard book case.
I was reading that Google is looking to open some retail stores.... Given the fact that they release next to no accessories for their Nexus products, I'm trying to figure out how these stores won't be barren wastelands with just a few phones and tablets on display.
Looks nice but I can't even imagine how uncomfortable it is

I 100% agree with you. I use the Moko ultra slim (currently $5.99 on Amazon) and it's fantastic. To each his own I guess.
I am certainly considering getting the leather case for it.
I am more wondering if the next Nexus 10 will have similar dimensions that I can just reuse this case for.
What do you guys think the odds are that google will change the dimensions of their next 10.1 device or two?
This case has the gel inside the corners to hold the tablet in place, I would venture you could put something smaller in there and the gel would still allow for a relatively snug fit.
Good lord. More than a hundred for a case? I bought my used 32gb nexus 7 for 175. I got two Moko cases for 12 bucks.

That thing is an inch thick. Why? Might as well carry a leather binder and just throw the tablet in there. Then you at least have some business cards, a pen, etc.

The tablet sits in a wood base, that's probably why it is so thick.

I sooooo want one, but I configured it up past $180!
I purchased one yesterday. Decided to get the bookcase over the leather one.
The leather looked amazing, but I felt I would get more bang for my buck with the bookcase.
At first I thought the bookcase was made of the fake pleather that most other cases has, but really, its meant to be built just like a hardcover book which is pretty cool.
When I get it I will let you guys know what I think.
I look at it this way. Just to get an opening for the camera costs the same as my perfectly functional poetic slimline....
.....I'll pass
Just got mine today...VERY nice case...it is the quality I was looking for in a case. The Nexus fits snugly with no problems and all the buttons and ports are accessible. If you can get passed the price you won't be disappointed...
