Cheap Silicone case and screen protector? - Galaxy Note II Accessories

I'll be picking up a Note II on AT&T on the 9th and I'd rather not end up spending $60 on a sub-par case and screen protector at the AT&T store like I did last time with my original AT&T Note. So I'm going to buy them off the internet before hand. Any suggestions for a cheap silicone case I could pick up on eBay that won't scratch it? or some cheap matte screen protectors? Thanks.

Amazon.com. Spigen Ultraclear protector. I've seen a couple nice cases on eBay. I purchased one of the hard minimalist cases, but there are some nice TPU units as well.

Amazon is the way to go. Att will offer you "decent" cases for ridiculous prices.

Yea. $30+ is ridiculous. I know they have to make money on the accessories because they bite it on the phones, but damn.

Has anyone found a basic soft silicone case (not the semi-rigid gel ones) anywhere?

Silicone cases are useless. These get saggy and for a phone this size and this thin; I'm pretty sure the case will just dongle all over the place and will not stay on... Your best bet is TPU, which is what you are calling semi-hard.
And to the OP. You can go cheap on cases, but I don't recommend going stingy on the screen protector. The poster recommending Spigen is your best option. I have the clear crystal one from Amazon; they are not cheap but you get two that will probably last as long as you'll own the phone.

The one I've had on my HTC DHD for the past 18 months has been great. I agree that the GNII may be a bit big for one though.

I currently have this one, and am fairly happy with it. The only issue I have so far is that the opening for the charger/usb port is rather small - the factory usb cable fits OK, but most other cables don't.

It looks awesome, it really does, but 80E...u gotta b kidding m...No way...in any world... Leo is relaxing quietly and peacefully since August on Tynt II leather official HTC case and fits awesomely....
If Peil ws cheaper, then yeah, why not...But...being handmade, does not necessarily make it soooo expensive...
80€ for a leather case OMG is it bullet proof or something?
I think this is a good place for cases for the HD2.
You're own disign with a very good quality, but it's not super cheap.
I orderd my second case here

Are the ones you found slightly rubberised at all?
I am maybe looking at a kind of silicon case, to protect the back and edges of the phone.
Something like this: http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/cy/p_htc_item.aspx?i=176956
But for the HD2 of course
^ I've used that Silicon Case on my HD and it is great protection from scrapes and scratches. Will be getting one for my future HD2...
case which comes enclosed with hd2 is nice... for this time, you don`t need another one until you won`t be tired of it
I tried a number of cases with my Blackstone, including the InvisibleSHILELD, which was difficult to fit but really did protect well; I removed it eventually because made the case too thick to fit in my brodit car mount. In the end the most simple case has proved the best. It is a pouch with a draw cord which does not attract lint like the original boxed case does. Bought for 4.99E at a local T-Mobile shop.

There is a case with the phone. I think he would know, as he owns one.
Also, from the user manual:

You will find the following inside the box:

not at all. the one i got custom is by far the highest quality case ive seen and trust me, ive bought a ton of a cases lol. You cant even bend the thing and its lined with pigskin suede. Very rigid, has a leather rigid belt clip that holds really tight. i love belt clips but you can customize it with a lot of clips. even has may name inscribed on it lol. took 2 weeks to get to me but it had to be "made" i got it from ebay at this link http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=370271766156&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT maybe not for everyone but i love it

Well you'll probably have a lot of friends with this nice attitude.
Never make a mistake yourself or ...
I am glad there is a case included but I have seen two boxes in store with the NL version of the HD2 WITHOUT cases. Probably my mistake also!

The case sold on Google Play is completely different. It has a cover over the screen that you open like a book, and it's made out of TPU. The Incipio case is a hard case, with no cover on the front. The Play store also charges tax and shipping, so that $20 ends up costing $32.83. The Incipio case is only $24.99 on Amazon. Tax is about $2.37, and if you have Amazon Prime shipping is free. That comes out to $27.36, which is a better deal IF you are looking for a low profile hard case.

Thank you very much!
seems like a pretty solid case that doesn't add too much thickness to the device. my only gripe is that it doesn't hug the borders enough, i mean if you were to drop it on a corner, it would still get damaged or scratched to some degree. please correct me if i am wrong on that
Not to threadcrap but for 25 bucks....doesn't seem worth it. A tpu case that's 4 bucks shipped seems to be on par with this case

Have you purchased both so that you have an actual comparison, or are you just assuming?
TPU cases add much more bulk than a slim hard plastic case. Just look at the pictures for a TPU case. You can see by looking at the cutouts for the buttons and speakers that there is considerable bulk added. The Incipio Feather case is much thinner. Similar to the Poetic Element case, which is also a slim fitting hard plastic case.

I completely agree with that. I usually buy cheapos on ebay, too. But, I haven't seen many hard plastic cases for the N7. Just lots of TPU's. I actually went with the Poetic Element case for $15 shipped.

Looking for a slim leather pouch

Hello guys.
I am searching for a new case for my note 2.
Currently i have a tpu case on the back but I want something different.
Thought to get a wallet case (spigen) but they are so bulky. Don't think that I will like it.
Now i decided to look for a slim and nice leather pouch.
I found one from buggati, mumbi, krusell luna and the original Samsung pouch.
Which one can you recommend or doym you have other nice options for me?
Thanks in advance

I just ordered one of these yesterday. I had one of their sleeves before for my Galaxy Tab and it was great. Good padding, well-made, very inexpensive. The protection on the sleeve seemed reasonable, though I cannot yet comment on this new item.

Pouch
First I went with one $9 belt pouch from eBay that was junk (I can fit two Note II inside). In the past I had Monaco pouch with belt clip for my ol;d Samsung smartphone running Windows Mobile and it was the best pouch I ever owned so I did some search and found that Monaco has a horizontal (and vertical) pouch designed specially for Note II. It cost more than average pouch but I can assure you it is really a high quality product and N2 fits inside well. I've ordered it from here along with car charger to get free shipping:

I don't like this horizontal case. The original pouch looks great and is really slim but I don't know how it holds the phone and how you can push the phone out of the case.

So got the Waterfield case. It's a thin sleeve, won't really provide any protection from drops (just protection from scratches and scuffs in a pocket). It's not bad, and at $10 it seems reasonably well-made. Fits nicely. Really just a cloth pouch though.

[Q] Any good cases for extended batteries?

I usually use Trident cases but they don't make anything for us who have extended batteries. The plastic cases Verizon sells are absolute junk, bought one and never again. I need something worth it's money. Yes, I'm one of those who drops his phone often lol :angel:

I was able to get the case on with my DL and a CC in there. It doesnt fit very well, it creates a gap at the bottom and where the case meets the buttons on the back. Putting just 1 card in the case, you cant even tell its there. Keep in mind I have a AZ DL which is very thick compared to say a CA DL.

It's a decent case. I'm not a big fan of tpu style cases but this one is nice. I think it's a bargain at $7.

If someone could ship this cheaper, we Europeans would appreciate since it looks great
But yeah, 20$ shipping (like, what the hell) basically cans the deal.
How does this case compare to diztronic tpu?

I've used a diztronic back in the gs3 days and they seem close. Diztronic is a shady company though so I'd never support them again.
If wondering what I mean, search xda in gs3 forums for Diztronic.

I'm also not a fan of the "lip" on the front and back of the diztronic case for this phone. Seems like it would trap lint like crazy.
