Finally I have the commuter for the Note 2
Here is the review - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CzDGAmVdXQQ
Overall I really like the case and its more me than the defender
Can you do a drop test?

I could but it has been proved many times before that Otterbox cases protect the phone in drop tests.
Thanks for the review! I have owned Otterbox cases in the past and they were OK (my old iPhone 4S Defender case was not that good though - it lost its original shape pretty quickly)
That's true, however I have yet to discover ANY for the note 2 commuter. I'm sure it'd get pretty popular being the only one in existence. Since the note 2 is so much bigger, I'd like to see if the result s are the same.

Anyone find a way to add more grip to the back? Pretty much only thing holding me back from making it my main case.

I find myself using my defender more often now since my phone has taken a few dives off of tables from sliding in the commuter case. You could always put something like a fly grip on the back, but I personally find those to be ugly.
I still use my Commuter, but the defender is a better case design (remove built in screen protector) and the size difference is minimal between the two cases.

In the defender thread there someone complaining that after he removed the screen protector from the defender the screen was scratch by touching the hard inner plastic.
I wouldn't know. I use a full coverage screen protector so plastic doesn't actually touch my screen or bezel and I have yet to see any scratches on the protector. I'm not sure how plastic can scratch a gg2 screen considering the hardness of the two materials. Perhaps he got the scratch from a harder material and didn't notice till later

Theres a thread for this called post pics of phones with cases, it has 88 or so pages of info.
I had a speck candyshell but it scratches way to easily. Now I use a otterbox commuter and love it.

Mime glass and white UAG. Otterbox commuter back in the box. Best SP and case combination ever. And I have gone through dozens with iphone 3 3g 4 5 galaxy S2 Skyrocket and now Note 2.
This combination is light clear and if I want another color just duct tape the insert. Its like being a horse of another color in the emarald city ( haven't tried green yet, hmmmmm )

Genuine Samsung Note 2 case, it fits the phone perfect, it has rubber sides and hard back. Samsung did a great job on the case just like they did on the phone. ZERO issues as it is made FROM Samsung. This is the perfect case for me..I do not have the overhyped UAG case nor the fever that seems to be spreading.
P.S. notice how I say best case for me??? Yea...I have no idea why people say something is the best for a very subjective topic.

I use the Armor-X case. It is hard to get (& not cheap) and comes from HK via German Post but totally worth every penny.

I'll update with a pic when I un-F my ROM's camera.
I've had roughly 50 cases since I resell them for fun. Of these, I've kept the following for myself:
2 UAG cases. 1 in black and 1 in white
2 Sweet Armor bumpers. 1 in Titanium Grey and 1 in Matte Black and Silver
1 Spigen Ultra Flip
1 Seidio Convert holster (only the holster, sold the case)
These are, IMHO, the very best available in each of their classes.
Went with the white Uag, preferred it over the silicone of the aegis

I've been switching between the Ballistic, Aegis, and UAG. It would be just the UAG if it didn't make the phone feel so wide.

Mind me asking what screen protector, if any, that you are using.
Every time I put on a different case, the edges are different enough that they cause problems.
What's the best thin case for the Note II ? I bought a couple cases at ATT store, they too thick.
I typically rock naked phones, because most cases seem to add too much bulk and thickness. I just like the feel of light thin phone.
Now if the Note II was as thin as the iPhone 5 then I wouldn't mind a Tough Case thick case. But its not, so...

If you want slim and protection... Don't get it. I've had the black one since I bought the note 2. Too many exposed surfaces. I dropped my phone and caught something nasty on the top left corner.

Maybe it's just my luck, but I have 2 ringke slim cases that are not snug against the phone. When pressure applied to the side of the case, just below the volume cutout, they both make a creaking sound.

I used to have one of those elago's on my Note 1. I wouldn't recommend these slim cases at all. While they look nice if you drop your phone and it catches the edge like I did with mine. You're going to end up with a cracked screen or chipped at the very least. This is what happened to my Note. Had the elago case I dropped it caught the edge of the table on the way down and it chipped the screen. With my Note 2 I've gone with a aluminium bumper case that protectors the edges and has a decent lip. If you can find a decent slim case with a lip and covers the edges of the front glass that would be better! Samsung phones are so fragile!!
OK so just picked up one of these bad boys to play with for a while. I usually pick up some type of nillkin snap on, diztronic, incipio or mercury pearl tpu.
With my nexus4 I got the ringe rearth, poetic atmosphere, but preferred the nillkin. Looked through the threads and noticed the only one available doesn't fit our phone.
I ordered the case-mate barely there for the atrix2 but it hasn't arrived yet and I've already switched to the AHD..
Looks like incipio also has a "feather" case..
Anyone have one on theirs? Or recommend any slim ultra thin minimal case that doesn't overlap the screen(much) and doesn't bubble wet application screen protectors?
I use a Diztronic clear black TPU case and it's worked excellent.

what case are you guys using ?
I am using the samsung's official s-view case and I dropped my phone the other day and now i have a dent on the top and bottom outter corners on the metal frame since this case does not protect it well....
i am looking for suggestions for a thin case that covers the body and have s-view window...
any suggestions ?
Spigen bounce for me. Its thin and form fitting around all the corners. Only problem is 2 color choices, black and grey (light black).
Costs more than a generic tpu case but it looks and feels better.

I could have told everyone about the spigen neo hybrid from my experience with their S4 case. It's one of the most overrated cases on the market, I'm not sure why people love it so much.
It looks and feels much cheaper in person than in pics and it makes the phone much bulkier and wider than it needs to be. And it's ridiculously overpriced for what it is.
Thumbs way down, I will never buy a spigen again.

If you want a fairly inexpensive no frills case, check out the one from Caseology. I got one for $3.50 on a deal from slickdeals and it's a great case with decent protection for the price. Even at the regular $8.50 price I would say it's well worth it.

Cool. What about screen protection??
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-N900A using Tapatalk
I'm using an iSmooth screen protector. Application was the smoothest of any screen protector I've used so far - but I don't know how much of that is just practice applying them. The screen looks beautiful, with no rainbow patterns, and grease resistance is good (the Spigen ones I used before on my original note, I had a harder time of applying, and both Crystal and Oleophobic ones accumulated grease like nobody's business, particularly the supposedly oleophobic one, and the crystal had slight rainbow patterns visible in the right light).
As for cases, I'm not using one; I don't like the added bulk from them - I instead used Sugru to mold little bumpers directly on the corners of the phone. The corner around the S-Pen is kinda tricky, since there's what looks like a mic on the long side, and very little space between the pen and the speaker on the bottom. I used 3 little pieces of sugru around there. I also put a little bumper below the volume rocker, so I can quickly find the volume buttons when the phone is in my pocket. The sugru comes off cleanly (scrape it off with a fingernail). It lasts pretty well, but it will need to be redone at least once during a two year contract, more if the phone is handled roughly.
Thoughts on the S view case?
I think Im mostly concerned with the glass cracking than anything else...
Right now i am rocking the Incipio DualPro case and am waiting for a case from Cuzerlite to come in.
I got the Tudia Melody and it's perfect. 8 bucks to boot. It adds a nice grip to the phone and covers up the chrome lining on the front. You know the part that looks terrible even with a minor scuff? No screen protection except for the raised edges.

If you want protection and don't mind added bulk the Otterbox Defender is the only way to go. I personally have large hands and prefer the thickness and bulk the Defender adds. Plus you can throw it at a wall and it will not hurt the phone. The built in screen protector is hard plastic and will protect from most surface scratches. Of course direct impacts to the screen will almost always break it on large device like this and there is no case or protector that protects from direct impacts. So for screen protection you just have to take what you can get.
For me the Ottorbox has been the only way to go for my last five phones.
@Solarenemy68 while last year me would agree with you, I found another case company called trident with a similar design. There a bit cheaper too (price not quality!!) long story short, mine came today and it is amazing. Has a built in metal kickstand. (Had a bad experience with my last phone cuz of otterbox's customer service. So tried something new)
