Best protective case? - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Hi,
Normally I always get case mate tough case for my phone. What's the best case out now that will give me good protection but not adding too much bulk?
Are full body protectors any good to have along with a case?

Otterbox is coming out with a protective case but it may add more bulk than you want.

Ballistic is making one to. No word on a shipping date. Trident is my personal favorite over otterbox but no hint of anything in production.

Awesome.... you'll have to write a review and post some pics.... if they come out with the military version for the Nexus 7 I might have to buy one.

Full review coming tomorrow. just checked my mailbox and it was delivered today. Definitely adds some bulk. The grip is slippery other than that i really like this case but I may return it due to it being too slippery. Definitely feels like it adds a nice level of protection.

Well, if it's slippery, then won't it not break if you drop it because of the case in the first place...
do you mean this case?

What do you mean slippery. Like rubber or like a wax???
Sent from my LG-P999 using xda premium
Slippery as almost wax like yes. That is the case. Its definitely seems like great protection but I'm not crazy about the texture of the case.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
oh I am so excited to hear what you have to say about this case!!
Any update on the review of this case? Thanks
Sorry guys...been swamped at work. I will get to it this week for sure.

That slippery feeling is the rubber expelling or 'sweating' out the oil used in the manufacturing process to create it. It will eventually all dissappear. I would suggest soaking it in a tub of warm soapy water to try and remove the feeling.

Well I've found countless others...but ALL have that stupid cutout. And I definitely don't want an aluminum bumper.
Something like the nexus 4 or iphone bumper

I have actually bought 2 aluminium bumpers...but still waiting for them to come from hk. Many members here have said that the aluminium ones are quite alright. So I can't wait to try them on. Not too sure if we will ever get any good tpu bumpers (with no corner cut out)

LOL! I saw that on AliExpress, looked cool, but decided not to get it.
Ok this is a really noob question, but how do I view the attached image? I am not seeing anything or able to click anything to view the case
Looks alot like the ballistic. I was going to get it before but decided to wait for the otterbox commuter. At that price you cant go wrong. Seems like a very sturdy case.

Reminds of Tron Legacy for some reason :silly:
I have the all black version of this case. It works well and the kickstand is sturdy. I only plan on using it till I find a holster case that I like. A quick tip for this case is to put a dab of super glue on the tab that locks the kickstand and let it harden, with out it the kick stand tends to come out on its own.

Some people prefer the 10 dollar cases to the premium 50 dollar cases with the logo on the back. My case was 15 bucks. It fits. If i was pleased enough i would have shared it with the community. But now i know that this isn't a place for such things. Thanks for that revelation.

Puregear Dualtek cases

I haven't seen any mention of the Puregear Dualtek case for the G2 so I thought I'd share. It looks like a great rugged case, very similar to a UAG. Use the code PURE50 for 50% off at checkout to knock the price down to $17.49! Just ordered one and can't wait to get it. The site doesn't specify what carrier model the case fits, though the mock up pics show the Verizon model. I contacted Puregear customer service and asked about my Sprint version. According to their engineers it will fit the Sprint variant just fine. AT&T/T-mobile will fit as well.

Looks good to me. It's a case to consider

Not if you use the code for 50% off. Also, it's a heavy duty case, not a cheap tpu.

Look those over once they arrive. For that price they're likely knock offs. I looked at eBay first and found some that were cheap but the seller had bad feedback for counterfeit cases.
A while back I bought a UAG case for my wife's phone from Amazon and it was fake. This was sold by Amazon too, not a 3rd party through Amazon. They corrected it with no issue, but it does make me hesitate when something is at that much of a discount.
If those are real, kudos to you for the find. I looked on Amazon before I purchased and there weren't any listed. I'd be jealous if I hadn't got mine for $17 and free shipping with that code.

The tough case will be here today and the slim will be here Wednesday I Will report back. Don't think they are fake with the code it's the same price,just have the choice to send it back if it's not liked

Sent from my LG-LS980 using Tapatalk
I picked up a dualtek black (would have gone with the white, but I wasn't digging the white gloss so i opted for the matte finish black). it seems very nice so far, much bigger than the Dual Pro i'm about to return, but also feels considerably more protective. Feels more substantial than my S4 UAG case as well.

My wife was looking at s4 cases on eBay. I sent her a link from here for her device. And told her to get the black one for my g2.
Is there rubber or anything to keep it from sliding around my center console?
Sent from my LG-D800 using xda app-developers app
I've seen the slim case at ebay & suspect it's a fake. But puregear seems not posting out of US, so the best way to go for me is ebay. Even if it's possibly fake. Like the clear back plate very much & the black one has a matte finish to the sides.
Sent from my LG-D802
The black one came in today. Still waiting on the tough case. We had bad weather so it may be here today as well

Both. The white is still in the box
Sent from my LG-D800 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
The tough is here. I will say that the g2 is floating in the case. Not 100 percent float but I would say 40 percent is. All corners are stiff so it not moving around at all but the back is its not flush in all areas. It works. I guess it will let air in side for heat and cushion.
