Sweet armor cases

Looks like the Sweet armor GN2 cases are available:

The pictures on the site are horrible. Can't even really make it out. From what can be seen, they look decent and of pretty good quality. Buuuuuuuuuuuuut for 69 bucks I can think of alot more accessories than just one case. Way overpriced

Agree with your assessment of the images. Hopefully someone will order one and post better pictures.

I'd buy one, but I live in an area where I get 2-3 bars. That case would put me into permanent roam.

I don't think it is much different than the gs2 model, as it's just a simple 2-piece frame. Somebody - who ridiculously tries to assemble it with one hand, while shooting the video with the other - posted a Youtube video. I cannot paste the link as I'm a new member.

doesnt really look like a good design.
the holes around the headphone jack and the microusb port seem to be smaller than the holes in my ebay bumper case. given that my ebay bumper case stops me from using a lot of headphone cables and microUSB cables, i would assume this case would be downright silly for the price.

I don't like it....
.I bought this case for s II and note...but design for note 2 is failed

Metal bumpers for Note 2 are terrible designed because Note 2 is too curvy compare to other phones and the bumpers usually does not fill in the gaps of the curve back, and usually at the same level without raised edges to protect the back from scratching too.
A no no for me since I tried with a cheap bumper case from eBay

i think this is a bumper you're looking for. raised over the back so your phone's back cover wont touch whatever you put it on.

OMG 70 bucks for a BUMPER!?!?!?! JFC!!!!?!?!?!?

Wow....Looks good. But i fear that this bumper will make the phone look too wide.

Beautiful bumper, but I feel like id be worried about scratching it lol.

please, review the sweetqrmor gnote2 Thank You!

Sorry guys, maybe I don't get this, but wouldn't any metal bumper case be only for looks and not protection? Edges of the phone, when dropped, are the most vulnerable points, and slapping on it a tight fitting metal will just transfer the shock instead of absorbing it to protect the phone. Am I missing something? These bumpers don't look like hollow metal tube with a "crumble zone" and inner soft lining. It looks awesome as hell, original for sure!!! But with additional weight to our phablet and what seems to be like a slick grip-less sides - wouldn't you worry that phone will be even more vulnerable to drop out of your hand/pocket with a higher chance of damage? Of course, I'm looking more from a practical point of view, while missing the whole pimping aspect of it lol!!!

I got mine mainly for the looks and originality of it but just this past weekend I dropped my phone from waist height onto a concrete floor and I was shocked my phone nor the case suffered any damage. Walked away relieved and impressed!

Since the aluminium bumper is mainly one solid piece with a smaller one on top it acts like a strong exoskeleton taking all the force. For me the importamt thing is to have big enough cushion inside in order to avoid getting the phone in direct contact with the metal and also big enough lips to protect the front amd back.

So do you add your own cushion in there? Or use this bumper case on top of some slim tpu case, etc?

How to add grip to back cover without a case?

Any ideas? The back of the phone gets very slippery and I hate cases so I'm not going to get one, so do you guys have any ideas on how to add some grip to the back?

skateboard grip tape.

There are leather back covers on ebay but without NFC. I can do without NFC, so I'm planning to buy one.

Try a full body skin. I had a carbon fiber one that added some grip, but removed it. ...I didn't like the carbon fiber around the edges of the phone. I'm currently using the Spigen Matte full body skin. It adds some grip on my opinion, butsome may say it didn't add enough. Just my pinion of course.

I had used plastidip on my back cover to make it matte black and add grip, it worked well but it's just not durable enough, mine was peeling of within a few days

if you buy 2 or more, you can use the code 85off2 to get 85% off. quite a nice sticky feel too it when used on the battery door and using a bumper case.

I just bought one of those skins, they have one in carbon aand brushed steel from ebay for around 6bucks

First thing I do to any new phone (or laptop) is throw a couple egrip strips on the back... incredible traction...nothing slimmer...never need a case cause it doesnt slip out of your hands!
www.egrips.com

until i found a case i liked, i applied a generic, large, clear Zagg screen protector to the battery cover. i had to use 2 pieces and it was not an exact fit, but there was enough coverage to make it less slippery.

Try using flygrip
Just Google and YouTube "flygrip galaxy note 2".
I've been using this thing for almost a week now on my note 2. It's amazing.

flygrip is to big and doesn't allow the use of a case if needed. Great idea but dumb product for $30

I used spray on tool grip in clear applied to the back cover. After 5-6 coats its very tacky/grippy and almost invisible. Best thing I've done to the phone yet.
Because of my limited number of posts I'm not allowed to include a link. The company/brand is PLAST-DIP. You'll be looking for the Clear in a spray can. If you'd like to get creative they also offer an assortment of colors and "smokes" that make a translucent effect.
Hope that helps!

http://www.lowes.com/pd_416844-6115...ip&pl=1&currentURL=?Ntt=plasti+dip&facetInfo=

Does this type of spray grip tend to peel or scale easily with everyday usage? I was thinking of something to add more grip to my otterbox commuter case which tends to be on the slippery side. Is it easily removeable if needed and does it attract lint/dirt/etc?

You can try some gaffers tape, it will make it ugly though, used it on my nikon cameras before felt pretty nice.

Best case to use in addition to....

I have a full body film (similar to Ghost Armour or Zagg Invisible Shield) protecting my note 2 at the moment, and though it can protect it from scratches, I know it won't survive a drop. I was wondering what is the best case I could buy to protect it from falls while still be compatible with this added film (which adds a couple mm). I was looking at the Seidio Active or the OEM Protective case plus made by Samsung themselves.
Thank you for your time!

ive got the xtremeguard skin on the back of my note 2.
the ebay heavy duty case still fits on it.
but you can always go for a tpu or aluminium bumper case. that way you can still get full body protection without the added bulk.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Gray-Lux...lePhoneAccessories&hash=item484e8524a7&_uhb=1 i've got this one and its raised a bit over the back to keep your camera from rubbing against surfaces. its thicker and more durable/sturdy compared to the other aluminium bumpers ive seen.

Thanks! I am also looking for a good case and this one looks cool.

I heard these metal/aluminum bumpers really degrade the phone signal. Have you noticed any difference in signal?

from this pic, it looks like the antenna is no longer in the rim of the device. instead, its on the lower back of the device near the speaker, which explains why i havent noticed any signal degredation.

Ahh, thanks for your input! I will probably order one of these today!

How durable is N2 without additional cases?

Do I really need a case ?
What quality are materials used for back camera glass (will it scratch), back and silver borders?
Will the phone scratch in above places, by jsut keeping it in clean pocket or on table ?
I am considering case-mate tough case (prolly only good case available in Poland)

Its not as durable as an iphone I would say. If it had real metal for the bezel you could go by without a case. The metallic bezel scratches easily on this one.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

And how about the camera glass? Does it scratch easily?

For me the biggest benefit of a case is more traction in my hand. This freaking thing is slippery without a case!

I've never read a post regarding a scratched camera glass, however the screen will most certainly scratch and it WILL shatter on impact, that much is clear from these forums.

I would have to politely disagree. The iPhone has a poor design in terms of durability. The screen (glass) goes all the way to the edge of the phone, meaning its corner is exposed. This is a bad thing because no matter how durable glass is, a simple hit in its corner will surely crack it.
For example You can take a hammer to a shower door and give it a slight smack on its surface without breaking. However, give it a slight wack on its corner and the WHOLE thing will shatter. This explains how glass as durable as gorilla glass is capable of cracking.

Completely disagree. As another poster said, iphones shatter way more thanks to the edges of the glass being highly exposed to impacts.
But as to the OP's questions, why would you NOT protect such an expensive investment?

Oh I should have stated that by DURABLE I meant can withstand everyday wear and tear. For concern of droppage, youd want cases protecting both phones.

Do you like playing Russian roulette? Unless you have insurance plan with your carrier or somewhere else ($10 a month or something like SqTd for $100, and deductible which could end up being anywhere $100-$200), I would invest in a decent $20-$40 case.
Plenty of posts in this and other forums about people shattering the glass when dropped even with tpu case or other slim plastic cases. Battery door scratch or camera glass scratch will be your least worries when you drop your phone and see a spider web going across your screen from the corner. If you want just additional grip, slim case will do it. But for drop protection you need something beefier with a bumper/lip for protection.

Then Case recommendations please
otterbox commuter
case-mate tough (europe version)
or UAG ... but with this one I would need some instruction on how to ship stuff to Poland. I never bought abroad

Either of those would be fine. Check out link in my signature for all the cases I have tested/reviewed in this forum. Since it sounds like you don't want too much bulk, for a basic everyday use Tough would be an excellent choice with SURFACE being right behind it. If you are more paranoid and will be using your phone outdoors - UAG is great. If you doing heavy duty construction work outside, CONVERT or Defender will do it. If you want to make bling-bling statement, go with aluminum bumper and fancy carbon fiber battery cover

I'm using two cases now: a UAG for when I'm at work and a Seido Snap case as a general walking around case. Both cases allow me to hide an RFID card in them for work access.
The phone itself is too slippery NOT to be in a case.

I don't know how you guys are saying this phone is very slippery. Its pretty slick with no case. The matte cases make it more smooth and slippery iMO

I strongly recommend you the Samsung Protective Cover +.I think you can find it in online shops from Poland ,or stores like Orange ,Vodafone and so on.I bought it from an online shop from Romania.It's pretty cheap.Fits very well ,had it for 3 months It adds the right amount of bulk.It's like 10,3 mm I think.It has raised borders around the screen ,so if it falls,it won't touch the screen.The back is glossy ,but the sides are offering a great grip
Also doesn't affect S Pen ,NFC ,flash or something else.There are 3 colors available:Black White and Pink.Any of these colors has white borders.Do a google search and you'll see.Ah,forgot to mention:I dropped it one time with the case on,the only thing that happened is that the S Pen went flying.

I use an invisible shield and that's all. Unless you handle your phone without care, then a case isn't really necessary unless alcohol becomes part of the equation. I have dropped my phone with the flip cover on concrete, to see it slide down the road in pieces. It didn't break nor did it have any drop damage, but I feel if I had a case, the force would have been expelled through the screen.

Samsung protcrive cover + interested me. It is nice. Have rubber raised above screen and is cheaper than others.
Anyone care to share his opinion?
Thanks for all answerws. I am still investigating other cases aswell

It was discussed as well before, rubber bumper is good, but the back part will scratch like hell. That was #1 complain about it. Also if you buy it online beware of CH cheap knockoffs.

My camera lens actually scratched somehow. Might have been when I accidentally put it in a pocket with my keys but I have never dropped it without a case on.

i dropped mine once on concrete and the screen shattered

You are most certainly the exception and should consider yourself lucky... This forum is riddled with people who cracked their screen from minimal falls even while having a case on it.

Best "grippy" case???

I've got the Case-Mate Tough Case and even though it has the little bump pattern on it it's way too slippery... it's not rubbery feeling like it looks in the pictures...
And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)

Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .

First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

I went ahead and got a cheapo rubber/silicone case from Ebay.. I figure I can't go wrong trying it when it cost <$6 shipped...

I have this case in black (also a couple of other colors). It has grippy ribbing on the sides and the Android logo on the back is matte ... overall a reasonable balance between grip and something that will go in and out of your pocket.

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

I honestly prolly wouldn't use the kickstand that much either... but it's good to know that it's probably not as bad as some of the reviews..

That looks pretty good.. may have to get one if that one from Ebay turns out to be crap..

First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

Yeah, I thought about getting some of that tape stuff but somehow putting tape on a $500 phone just feels wrong.. but I may have to resort to it...lol.

I actually meant (egrips) since I had seen it recommended in another thread here
Hopefully this might be some help
