http://shop2.sprint.com/NASApp/onli...ryID=CZS5478Q&topPageNumber=0&subPageNumber=0 im going to try this out tomorrow,had one for the galax.1 and the infuse,slim and good protection and grip,of course i will get screen protectors!!
I bought this case at the Sprint store the day I bought my phone just to have something to protect it in until I figured out what I wanted to do as a long term solution. This case ended up being that long term solution. It is very light and thin yet I feel provides a lot of protection on the corners and sides of the phone as well as protruding higher than the glass front of the phone in case the phone is dropped face first. I like the texture on the back of the case a lot in terms of my ability to hang on and use the phone with one hand. This case is a keeper in my opinion.

I also got this same case on release day, it's good case the design on the back gives it good grip. Like stated before it is keeper. But for me I gonna go with something a bit thinker just so I have a piece of mind. hopefully BG makes a tactic style case like the one for the gs3.
these don't look bad in the glacier color.

Picked one up from sprint as well and i really like it Offers nice protection, grip, and feel. I also got it to hold me over until i found a case i wanted for long term but may end up keeping it, it all depends on if my flygrip sticks well to that textured back.

Any chance this is available for international customers?
The body glove that is.
I too picked one of these up at a Sprint store. I had to go to an official sprint store, the affiliate store I checked first said there weren't any cases being made yet. I paid $26. I agree with the above comments, it's quite nice, although I'll go with a water resistant (siedo/otterbox) whenever it comes out. I did have to trim the top edge of a couple of my microusb cables, I thought about trimming the case but it's pretty thin there, and I only had to very slightly bevel the plastic of the cable. I've had the same problem with my Nexus 7 so no biggie.
Yeah i just bought one too and this thing is too flimsy for my taste. I got spoiled by the Speck case for my Note 1. But i had to patience. Couldnt keep my phone in a plastic box for 2 weeks.
I would LOVE to have a Speck - the Speck case for my 80G Ipod looks like a tire!

Yep, I like this case a lot also but can't find it in France or elsewhere in Europe...
Also, this case isn't super rubbery feeling. If that's what you're looking for then this case isn't for you. Personally, I don't care for silicone cases because they get stuck in my pocket and and too rubbery feeling. This case is a bit more pvc feeling and isn't rubberized. I didn't think I would like it, but it's pretty solid. It's a bit more expensive though.
This looks close to what I am looking for. Is it one piece? Seems like it would just slide out ?

Yes it's one piece. Goes on like a TPU case does, just wraps around the phone
Sent from my SPH-L900
the only disadvantage is it doesn't have the raised areas over the buttons. that's key on the samsung case. I would much rather have the textured back on this one though. It feels great overall, slim, light, and makes the phone feel solid. I wish there was some compromise between them.
So has anyone found a way to get the body glove outside US? It seems to be perfect for my needs. Slimmer and prettier than the samsung tpu case. I've searched but nobody ships it to Europe. Is Sprint the only store selling it? Do you think the case will become available wider or should I just buy the samsung tpu?

I like the case too. You can order from sprint.com no matter where you live or order over the phone from them.
My cousin just got the GNII 2 days ago, and he too rapped it with the Bodyglove case. So far he likes the case a lot. For me when I get the GNII on 12/1, I will be going the Otterbox Commuter series case route. I will not take any chances when dropping $299 with a 2 year attachment, lol...
I have one, feels awesome. Just wish it had the covers over the buttons. other than that, no complaints
Hate
I hate the cases with covers over the buttons. Takes away from the feel of the phone and having to press extra hard to get a response from the buttons sucks. I have never had a BG cover that I have ever liked. Seen this one on the Sprint sight when I ordered it and it looked good so I gave it a shot. I have had 6 different TPU cases on other phones and this case is the best I have used. So I don't find it a down fall at all the buttons are not covered. Plenty of grip. Raised areas cover the camera and screen edge perfectly. Get it and you wont be disappointed! :good:

I have the nillkin in black and the rearth in white. They are both super slim and nice l cause they add grip so I can do a lot with one hand now. I'd recommend both to anyone. And the nillkin I bought on eBay for 7 bucks with shipping included and the rearth was 10 on Amazon, although this was 3 weeks ago so they might have went up in price by now
The stock samsung galaxy note 2 case is best thin wise. 2mm thick screen cover and a new back case to.protect the camera its ace but costs £30ish in shops.

I have the translucent, frost colored one, looks good on my white N7000.. They are a pain to take off, usb cable does not fit in the port properly and pops out easily. It's also disposable, I imagine after 6 months it will look pretty ratty. That all said, I like it, it's very thin. I bought 3 for $6 shipped. So I'm set for a while.
There's no thinner case than no case at all. The back is replaceable for less than what you pay for a case if it gets scratched or cracked.
With a thin case, you're not getting much shock protection against a drop anyway, so the only thing that worries me is the finish around the edge trim wearing off, so I use a bumper.

Word of warning: I bought this case on the 29th OCTOBER, it was dispatched the very next day and I still haven't received it. That's over 30 days ago. Contacted the seller last Friday and he asked me to wait an additional 10 days. I'm in the UK by the way.

I bought this case and got it within a week from china. Simply amazing is the only way to describe it. It fits perfectly on the phone, it leave the "naked" feel of no case yet still offers some protection. Sure if you drop it the phone will still get damaged but for me I don't have to worry about throwing it down on my desk and scratching the phone up. I loved it so much I bought another one... My two complaints are 1. the usb port cutout of a tad too small and some wires don't fit all the way so they pop out. 2. It's nearly impossible to get this thing off the phone once it's on because it's so thin I feel like I'll break it trying.
The only bad thing about that case is that the sides are not really protected. Other than that, it's not a bad case at all.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2
I could care less about the back cover since they're like $10 to replace, it's the plastic chrome sides that need protecting.
I've done my research to find out which one would be the best investment for my hard earned money... sure there are cheap china made ones, but I am talking about functionality and the product that won't break in normal usage.
I need your honest opinion on which kickstand case would be the best fit for our $700 investment.
I am leaning towards Amzer kickstand or the Seido Active (Blue or White)
any other suggestions are welcomed
I need a case that would give a great stand, because I do watch shows and youtube and having a kickstand is a miracle.

ive got one of these, fairly unique design and works fairly well.
not too sure how durable it will be since the bendy stand part is done with aluminium (similar to coke cans).
the other case i have is the ebay hybrid heavy duty case
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...=200846700544&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160
this one is a lot more durable than the previous one, and it feels good in the hand. but the cost is that its chunkier than the other case.

The Seidio has a magnet to hold the stand in place that interference with the s pen or at least this is what some owners complain about.
Most of the people complaining bout the interference wth spen r using the surface case..the active case didnt affect it..i think its bcoz the activevis a dual layer case while the surface is one layer only..

Boxwave S thingy. Paid $5 shipping and I love it. Not a ton of protection offered like the Active, but the kickstand is surprisingly durable.
Sent from the White Monolith: Part Deux
I went ahead and purchased this case, as is like one I have for my gs3. I don't use the front cover, but you never know if you need it. It has a rubberized feel to it and works pretty good. I don't want to add any more bulk to the GN2 as is big enough, and this one can be considered a slim case. The shipping was extremely fast, especially considering I purchased it right before Christmas.

Take a look at the cruzerlite spi-force case. I'm using it now and love it. It's 2 pieces and the inside piece is TPU so it doesn't attract dust and lint like otterbox cases. It doesn't have a slippery back either like otterbox. Yes, I don't like the design of otterbox cases.
My only gripe is that when you press the buttons on the side of the phone, they're not 'clicky'.

I've pretty much gone through a bunch of cases and made my way back to the simple black kickstand case that Verizon sold. It actually has more frame coverage than the thinner kickstand case I found which for some reason left the top and bottom corners partially exposed to damage during a drop. It's not too thick but thick enough to feel like it's somewhat protective against a drop.
The best thing about that case is the kickstand, when folded out, works just like the flygrip in how you can put your fingers through it and have it assist in holding the Note in one hand more securely. I stick my ring finger through the open kickstand and can use it like a flygrip.

The flygrip works as a kickstand and also makes using this phone one handed a friggin dream! I use a Ringke Slim case for it and its so slim, it feels like there's nothing there. The flygrip comes with a free case, but I found it to be pretty bulky, even though it's just a thin rubber case, the Ringke Slim makes a night and day difference.

The Tough cases has always been the best I've owned. They have changed the design up for our Note 2 (just like trident, I feel these companies are debuting the latest and greatest with our phone). So I've reviewed it below.
Made a separate review thread here, easier to post a bunch of pics.
http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686
Thank you for the info.
My 2 cents: can't see how this is "tough". I used to work in Retail and we carried these Case mate's for other phones, and i can't see how it is better protection than an Otterbox (though sadly they make ugly cases for all the phones I own), or even Ballistic. They seem kinda of .. regular.
40 bucks seems kinda high for a case like that...I know eventually they will come to amazon for a lot cheaper..
For my S2 I had every case there was and it was always the best for being rugged, slim, and awesome grip. The name may make it sound like a contender with the otterbox defender, but its certainly more in the commuter class if thats what your looking for. The design looks different than previous versions, just hope it works out in a good way.

I will say one thing about case-mate, they seem to have good build quality from past products I've tried. They have less pronounced mold lines etc.
Otterbox's are riddled with ugly mold lines everywhere or at least their recent products.

I've dropped my S2 multiple times from high, even on the road once getting out from the car. Never had a scratch on my device. IMHO, the greatest feature of the tough case is the grippiness of the textured back. None if the hybrid case out there have this grippy texture. Even the ballistic or otterbox have a somewhat smooth back.
Been waiting for this case for a long time!

I can't wait for it to arrive to my country.
Can someone tell me the size of the hole in the case around the headphone port? I have a set of Shure In-ear monitors I use and they have a fat body around the plug, about 3/8".

hey there guys I'm looking for a case for my samsung Verizon Galaxy Note 2. looking for one that fits the stock battery as well as one that fits the extended battery.trying to find with a kickstand is proving difficult.I don't want a folio or one that closes like a book I want that had the screen open all the time. also need it to be able to go in and out of my pocket easy without catching, smooth if you will but still has some grip. a tall order I know I've looked quite a bit any help is much appreciated.
The seidio surface looks like the thinnest case with a kickstand but I'm just judging by looking online.
You could look into the flygrip too. I have it and it's actually a lot thinner then I thought it would be. I love it, it makes one handed operation so much easier and it doubles as a kickstand you can use in portrait or landscape. Plus you can attach it to any case.

+1 for the Seidio surface case. Good protection, hardly adds any bulk at all, and it does have a kickstand. I usually use the active cases on my phones, but the note 2 being as big as it is, I didn't want to add that much bulk. So far very happy with the surface case. (And I've dropped it a few times, holds up very well.)
Another vote for the surface. I love the look and feel of mine. The only thing to note is that it may push up your screen protector if you have one. I had to trim mine with an exacto knife before I applied it once the surface was on. Now I'm looking at the vitreo as a new surface protector as that'll fit with the surface as is.
I ordered this case. Will let you know how it is.

I am using this case now. It is good, but too slippery and the kickstand is wearing quickly (starting to fall out of the case occasionally). But not too bulky, and decent protection..

+1 for the Seidio surface case. Good protection, hardly adds any bulk at all, and it does have a kickstand. I usually use the active cases on my phones, but the note 2 being as big as it is, I didn't want to add that much bulk. So far very happy with the surface case. (And I've dropped it a few times, holds up very well.)

I have that exact case too. After a while the kickstand did start to fall out of the case but i found out it was because the tiny (and I mean tiny) bump that they consider a latch had broken off. So I just dabbed a little super glue and it fits just fine.
It does get a little slippery at times, but I like that the kickstand is pretty sturdy on portrait mode. You don't often see a kickstand that is sturdy and doesn't topple the phone when you press on it.

So far this is the thinnest case I've seen with a kick stand. A member posted this case on "Post a picture of your case along with your Note 2" thread. He said that he bought it from China. I've been looking for this case online but can't seem to find it anywhere.

I have found the snap tail case to be the thinnest kickstand case that will stand the Note up in both vertical and horizontal.

I do not believe slim and kick stand goes hand in hand but again some cases are close to being called slim for sure

Agreed. Before getting the ZL battery, I tried a couple of kickstand cases and the thinner cases have thin kickstands.

hey there guys I'm looking for a case for my samsung Verizon Galaxy Note 2. looking for one that fits the stock battery as well as one that fits the extended battery.trying to find with a kickstand is proving difficult.I don't want a folio or one that closes like a book I want that had the screen open all the time. also need it to be able to go in and out of my pocket easy without catching, smooth if you will but still has some grip. a tall order I know I've looked quite a bit any help is much appreciated.

I purchased the Seidio case with the kickstand. I've used their cases for quite some time simply because they have such a low profile and it's easy to remove the battery. My wife has the Otterbox on her Note II, but only because she doesn't know how to hold on to her device and has already shattered one Note II. The protection you get from the Otterbox is nice, but I really prefer the smaller footprint of the Seidio. Also, the kickstand works terrific.

I have the Sedio Surface case and I liked the kickstand on that a lot, but I did have one gripe. After having to take out my battery a few times I noticed the case didn't stay together very well. Sometimes the case would actually come apart in my pocket when I went to grab it from my pocket. I did find sticking some thin paper between the case and the phone helped with it coming apart often though. If you don't find yourself taking off your case a lot it might be a good case.
