I posted a few pics of this case in some other threads but after a few days with the case i feel its needs its own thread. This case is an awesome case. I purchased it for $40 at an at&t store and replaced my sprint bodyglove with it. The cas3 feels better in my hand then the bodyglove. It definitely feels like it would protect better if i drop it. It fits very good nice and tight. It has a really nice gloss finish and the kickstand really comes in handy when my sons watching movies. I was gona get the otterbox commuter but im liking this case so much i think this ones a keeper. I highly reccomend this case

Thanks for the quick review! I was hoping to get this case as well. I had it for my Galaxy S2 way back when (I won it online, hehe) and absolutely fell in love with it.
I don't understand why Case Mate says they weren't going to make this case, and it's already for sale, just not on their website. Exclusivity? I don't know... Lame!
I hope speck comes out with the Pixel HD case, I loved it
I bought this case today at att. I also just got my phone today.
So odd, after putting the case on my phone acts weird now. It powers off randomly and shuts off when I unplug it from a charge (occasionally)

Hmmm so far i havent had any issues. Also i had this case for my s3 bc like now it was the only good case that seem to be instock when the phone 1st came out and also just like now i had to buy it from an at&t store. But once the s3 was out for about a month as we all know every company was pumping out cases and i was switching cases every week. Ended up with an atomic green commuter but was about to go back to the casemate then i sold my s3. Its an awesome case

Have been using the very same case for almost two weeks now, and so far it's been the best case for me. I gave away the seidio surface to the at&t store, and a couple of eBay cases, since this pop will be a daily driver for the near future. If only they made the same in black, I'd switch...

I like the Pop Case as well. I had it for the GS2, GS3 and now the Note 2. It's very solid for protection and there is enough edge covered to protect the phone when it is turned face down. My favorite things about the case is the grip. It's enough to securely hold the phone and not too much that you have to battle to take it out of your pocket. The power and volume buttons are covered just right as far as no accidental presses while still being easy to press.
I don't use the kickstand too much but it could be made more solid as the hinge feels very fragile. It does work however in both portrait or landscape placement.

It's also worth mentioning that, unlike most cases like it (at least the ones I've seen), the rubber edge sits perfectly around the edge and does not touch the glass. And it is completely solid and does not move at all, so there is no accidentally slipping it off and loosing protection.

Are otterbox cases easy to remove to put in a car dock or more importantly, to change the batteries?
If so, which one should be easier, the defender or the commuter? I don't mind the bulkiness of any case (if they do protect), but I do want to remove them easily if I need to. The slim, non tpu soft cases, are very hard to remove. I'm using a flexi tpu now, very easy to remove, but ugly, and not sure about protection.
So would the ottebox be good for me?

They're all that price when they first come out. After a couple weeks you can find them for about 35. And it's quite a bit more case than a commuter and has a holster.

I would pick one up but Im waiting on reviews. I hope the buttons aren't as hard as the S3 Commuter. I loved my Commuter case for the HTC Evo 4g, HTC Evo 3D and The Evo LTE. Why are the commuter cases for Samsung phones so horrible? I bought the case for my Epic 4G Touch and S3 and they are both terrible cases. I hope they don't disappoint me on this one because I really like their Commuter case.

If you check my original quote, we were referring to the defender in that particular exchange.
I had a defender for my Nexus and that sucker was huge; I stopped using it. I could only imagine what the Note 2 with defender would be like. Maybe the commuter case might do the trick. I will call around to Verizon and see if they have them. Can't beat 25% off.
I had a defender on my nexus and it still wasn't that big to me lol. But I have big hands...the note 2 is finally a phone that doesn't feel too small in my hands haha
Just ordered mine from their website, can't wait to get this baby!! Couple this with my Just Like Glass screen protector and I should be well protected from bumps and drops.
The button press was so difficult on my S3 that I will pass on this case. I highly doubt they messed with the formula... plus, this price, even at smartphonepedia, is horrible compared to the competition, that I can't justify paying so much.
According to their website the black one is still out of stock. I don't know if I should keep my order or cancel it. For some reason I didnt see Out of Stock when I ordered it from their website earlier, maybe I was too excited.
for those worried about the stiffness of the buttons. I had the commuter on the s3 and after a week of use the button was fine. Alot of people got the case tryd it a few days and gave up. My gf had a commuter also and it took her bout week and a half 2 weeks for hers to loosen up but she dosent use her phone as much as me

I advise people to stop waiting around for CERTAIN cases to be made and bumpers to become available. Get a case on your phone ASAP to avoid being a statistic in the crack phone category.

I have the S-line TPU case which I really don't want. I already scratched the chrome bezel a little bit, unknowingly, so I had to settle for the S-line from Ebay. It costs a few bucks but it works very well, I just wished they made cutouts for the power and volume.

Exactly I ordered my case prior to getting my phone. Even though I still had to walk around with my phone with no case for about a week and some change. The case had extremely slow shipping so I had to baby my phone and I still manage to scratch the chrome This phone is a work of art.
I have an s-line too. Does the job, and I've always had tpu cases on my phones so no big deal to me far as hiding the phone's beauty.

phone and s-line tpu case arrived on the same day, still waiting for screen protector, keep original plastic on, back to google when replacement arrives. So far no scratches no cracks. I want to attach a hand strap to the tpu case. Also looking for a tactical nylon holster large enough to fit n4 with this tpu case but also a ballistic case if i get one in the future. Don't see any good ones online. Local stores don't even have cheap leather belt clip holsters for phones this size.
Whats wrong with the s line tpu case? I'm using it and love it. It is thin though...

You might never drop your phone or you might drop it many times. But accidents do happen, it's life. Just because you try to prevent something from happening doesn't mean it will.
Never used a case or screen protector, never will. All my phones still look mint. I will try a bumper when those come in to see if I like that as this is the first time I've got a glass back and I'd rather not scratch it setting it down on some grains of sand unknowingly.
This is also why I buy square trade warranty, so I can enjoy using my phone without crap all over it.

I am just using a front and back skin to protect the glass from scratches. The official bumper is the only case I've used and it adds too much girth to the phone for me (I think it actually increased my chances of dropping the phone). If I do drop it... I'll deal. This phone is just too nice to hold as is. Case-less for me.

It's worth getting this phone protected
I've never used a case protector for any smartphone I've owned, and have always accepted the fact that there will be scratches. However, I've just taken my N4 out of my jacket pocket to find a large shatter on the back glass. Wasn't dropped or bashed or anything, I've no idea how it happened. Although the glass back looks cool, it's frankly a ludicrous design, and as well as being a potential scratch magnet, it's also so slippery that it slides off anything that isn't totally horizontal. It's now going to LG for repair, sadly not covered by the warranty. I hate to think what it's going to cost, so I would really advise people to get some kind of protection for their handset!

Pouches are the way to go (to avoid sand particles in your pocket). Skin protectors, bumpers and the like are all just nuisances.
I say enjoy just enjoy the phone given the price. It's not like you paid $700 for it.
I bought directly from the site of the seller.
I've been a user of this case since my last phone (HTC Evo LTE). The case did me really well on that phone and it was slim on form factor. Protector was also very good on the previous phone as I've dropped it couple times with the phone in the case. No damage were shown on the case or on the phone. Because of this, I decided that I would choose the same company again if I were to change phones.
This time around, I went with the Samsung Note 2 as an upgrade to my previous phone. The case wasn't announced when I got the phone, but soon after they decided to make the case. I bought it the second day it was announced through the owners site. Case arrived quickly and the quality is still superb. If you check this listing, there's a few photos that I posted which represented the case. When you lay the case flat with the phone inserted, it's basically the same thickness as the Evo LTE with the phone in a diztronic case. Adds very very minimal bulk which doesn't affect the usability.
The back of the case is a matte finish. This matte finish actually allows the user to grip the phone better. That's not just it, the finish also reduces all fingerprints and dust particles.
Phone cutouts are all perfect and aligned to the spot. Power button and volume buttons use a soft silicon touch. It's covered, but in no way does it affect the touch. I can still easily press those buttons and the phone would respond to my action.
Overall, great case! Price is right! Go for it!
Im pretty pleased with mine too even though I normally dont use tpu protectors. It has a really nice feel and the sides seem like they provide substantial protection. No real complaints from me. I know diztronic has a great reputation and this was my first case from them so im happy.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
Im on the same boat!! I detest silicone and TPU cases as they are flimsy and stretchy, causing plenty of dusts to get trapped inside and scratch the device. But when I saw this case on Diztronic site I was very amazed so I ordered one. It arrived fairly fast despite the holiday seasons for US to Australia. Been using for 2 days and have to say, the best TPU case I've ever seen. The texture is very very nice, matte and really nice to touch and hold, raised lips to protect the screen, cover all the buttons (my favourite features), compact and thin enough but still have a decent protection from it. I'm very happy with this case, by far the best case I've got for Note 2 yet.
The only thing they should improve is to stick with matte texture all the way rather than having the raised lips/edges in glossy texture. And the seams could use some clean up.
Perhaps. I kinda like the edges with the smooth finish. Feels good when I need to stretch fingers across the whole phone.
One other plus I noticed is it seems to not get stretched easy. As I said this is my first Diztronic case so I'm sure others already know, but I've taken it on and off about 5 times and it still fits tight.

I think it's pretty firm on my end. I don't seem to loose control of it when it's in my hand.
I just want to pipe in and say I really like the Diztronic tpu case on my note 2. I used their cases on my Galaxy Nexus and was very happy. They add very little weight and size to the phone, yet I feel like my phone has pretty decent protection. My Galaxy Nexus still looks brand new, even though I dropped it a few times. I've dropped my note 2 one time and it still looks perfect.

Can't wait to get mine. I been thru quite a few cases hope this is the last one, it seems to fit all the criteria.
Diztronic is my preferred case-maker. Good quality, decent prices, great fit and feel. Can't ask for more than that.
Quick question on people who has it, I checked out the bodyglove case from sprint, and while it fits nice the sides were flimsy, does the diztronic fit nice and tight on the sides?

First Im sorry if this has been asked before but anyone tried sweet armor yet? If so, will it work with the Mugen Extended Battery? Thanks =)
http://www.thesweetarmor.com/en/13-sweet-armor-gnote-2
looks awesome but expensive for just a bumper.
It looks nice- though definitely a little pricey. Also looks a little bulky in the back? Maybe it's the images.
Coming from (SGS3 Galaxy S3) - new Note 2 owner
I've tried similar bumper for SGS3 - there is issues of the thing being heavy and adding to the weight of the device.
If the bumper makers had sense - they'd focus on the fit and adding protection - not adding looks/ metal and finish.
Now with extended batteries - the bumpers are a tough fit. Of the several I tried for the SGS3 only one fit.
If anyone knows better please post.
I have the Sweet Armor but no extended battery.

Looks good...but aluminum will dent if dropped so drop the phone your phone might be protected but you need to get a new case
Looks great, too expensive though.
Wow 70$. But i don't need an extra Note 2, I just want the bumper
Ihave a cheap metal bumper with my extended battery. You shouldnt have to worry about denting it but it will reduce signal and gps performance. Im going to mod it and see if I can remedy the issue. The one I bought was only 10 $ but doesnt screw together. I think the screw together versions are better. You should be able to find a cheap Chinese knock off sweet armor on ebay soon enough.
I had a sweet armor bumper and the mugen extended for the GNote 1 and they both fit perfectly, hence i asked =) It is indeed a little pricey so it will depend on personal preference, i guess. I have tried cheaper bumpers for the note 1 and none of them look as good as the sweet armor. Of course i understand some would prefer cheaper bumpers but this one has awesome look and finish. The sweet armor on my Note 1 still look as good today as it was on day 1 when i got it. Admitedly, I haven't dropped my Note 1 (thank god) so i cant say too much about the durability though. Not sure about the cheaper bumpers (i havent used them long enough) but definitely no dents/scratches from everyday wear and tear for this one though.
The only problem i had with the Note1 sweet armor though is that i lost a screw once and i had to replace it (it came with 5 extra screws btw) but that was my own negligence (prob a loose screw), never lost another screw after the first one til today =) the fit was awesome for my Note1, never had a reception problem (or not bad enough for me to notice at least). The extra weight wasnt a problem for me (I use a Note1 with the extended battery remember) but i'd think it wont add too much weight to a standard GNote. Just removed the bumper from my note1, and saw no scratch (from the bumper) on the sides of the phone.
PS: I went ahead and ordered one today and already got my shipping confirmation few hours later. I will try to update here with pics when it arrives. If it doesnt fit my mugen extended then i guess i will use it when im using the standard battery (I usually switch extended/standard battery depending on my need at the time). It will take a while cause i was being cheap and chose the cheaper shipping option.
Okay just got my bumper in the mail today. Fits perfect even with the mugen extended. Quality is awesome. Only complain I have is the side buttons feel a little loose, no biggie. And of course a lil too pricey. Comes with 3 extra buttons and five screws, loving it. It looks awesome =)

Just ordered one a few days ago. And to compliment it, a white carbon fiber battery cover on ebay. Can't wait for both to arrive
Sweet bumper but wayyy too pricey considering the chinese are banging the same thing out for $10 a unit.
Still please post pics when yours comes in.

I would love to buy several if they are of the same quality. Could you provide a link where these are available for $10 please?
UPDATE: Saw the other thread you participated in about aluminum bumpers and I see what bumpers you're referring to. While they look nice, you get what you pay for. I tried one of those and the quality is MUCH lower than the Sweet Armor. It is lighter, thinner, and scratches the GN2 easily. I believe in paying for quality if it can be had and the SA is worth it IMO.
No offense to those who bought the $10 eBay bumpers though.

I had the SA on my SII, it was sweet but pricey. After I sold my SII to get the Note, I gave the $10 bumper a go for a cheaper bumper look. Unfortunately, it messed up my Note. Plastic started chipping off between the screen and bezel.
Cons: Flimsy built, one time it slipped about half a feet high (in account with the weight of phone). The frame wasn't in the best of shape anymore. Unsatisfying premium look, actually made my phone look cheap. Tight slider, which cause plastic area to chip off over time and possible scratches to screen protector or phone if your not careful.
Pros: Cheap, easily replaceable. (provided not parts/accessory of your phone that needs replacement caused by the bumper)
Imho, you get what you paid for and I paid more. But kudos to those who had no problem with their bumpers. On my Note II, It's just sad case if I had to go thru it again, that's why I'm going back to SA
I had one of my Galaxy S1. Well made piece of kit but I ultimately didnt like the feel in the hand and was dubious about the shock protection (on that version there were only a few little thin foam strips inside the bezel.

not sure that it will work with Mugen battery. They have their own leather case for the 6400mah GN2 battery.

I've tried to find reviews for the pro case that motorola is offering, but I haven't had any luck.
Any ideas as to what is the best option out there for our phone while keeping the good looks?

I haven't gotten it yet, but I've been a Diztronic fan for a few years (and a few phones) now. TPU just gives it a little extra distance between the face-down screen and the tile when I accidentally drop it.

Could you post a picture? When I buy the developer edition I plan on buying the dualpro matte/grippy case.

I have the diztronic, the tudia melody (POS) and the griffin reveal. I only use a case while working. The griffin is easily my favorite, but the diztronic is very nice for a TPU case. Stay away from the tudia.
Any of those cases attract lint from pockets?
Sent from my XT1060 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
Neither the diztronic or the reveal collect lint. Wouldn't know about the tudia because it was only on my phone for 3 seconds before I vowed to never use it gain.
Well, whatever the case I'm getting something. Thank God motorola screwed up and sent me two phones and I was honest and sent one back, because I dropped mine and cracked the screen.! out of courtesy motorola is replacing mine free of charge so the new one will be in a case regardless.

Yep, just got my shipping notice too!
I ended up with Cimo Motorola Moto X Back Case Flexible TPU Cover since I went with a black back. I picked it up on Amazon. I went with black, but it also comes in blue, red, clear, pink, purple, and white. The only complaint I have about it is there is no holes for the power and volume so it hides the customized buttons. Instead the buttons are part of the case. My solution was to just cut the holes. If done right you can't even tell.
I got the snap case from Motorola because I saw the review videos and it looked nice. I got it in the smoked clear color. 3 problems. 1st is price. $30 is a lot for what you are getting here. Not a whole lot of protection but enough for peace of mind. 2nd is that whatever coating they put on this thing is slippery as hell and it hasn't been mentioned in any of the reviews I've seen so far. It actually makes it uncomfortable to use one handed because you have to grip it so tightly. 3rd is that when I normally hold a phone one handed I put my pinkie under the bottom to stabilize the phone. On this case there are sharp edges where it opens up around the charging port right where I would normally put my pinkie. For something this much I would've expected little things like this to have been taken into account. It does fit the phone really well and doesn't add a whole lot of bulk which is what I was looking for.

I actually use the pro shell case from Motorola, it's been pretty good so far. Feels good in hand and the rubberized edge covers the entire edge of the phone. The phone fits nicely in the case and it doesn't add any bulk to it. I'd suggest it over the snap case that they are offering on their site.
i bought http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DMOV802/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i02?ie=UTF8&psc=1 and i love it. it has a kickstand which is the main reason for buying it. it offers easy of use. you can take it off and on easily and the rubber case isnt the sticky rubber that seems to pull your pocket out everytime you take your phone out.

It's ugly, feels bulky compared to the Diztronic TPU case, and just has a very cheap feel to it. I only ordered it because it looks like the Incipio Frequency case that I had for my iPhone (it's a blatant ripoff) but it is nowhere near the quality. If you are looking for a decent TPU case, the Diztronic is the way to go.

I bought the dizronic before the X was available, love it but it doesn't play nice with the skinomi I have on. Thanks for helping me keep my pile of unused cases from getting any bigger.

That's what I'm here for. Anyone who knows me here knows I have a problem with cases. I already have 5 for the Moto X, and I have a few more on order. The funny thing is, I really don't like using a case with this phone so I have no idea what drives me to keep buying them haha. I had 30+ for my iPhone, about the same for my One X, maybe 25 for my HTC One.... yeah. haha
If you want to get a really good case, help me pester Urban Armor Gear into making one for us. Best case on the market, hands down. Post on their FB wall about making a case for the Moto X. https://www.facebook.com/UrbanArmorGear
Has anyone who has gotten a case noticed a change/muffling in the rattling sound that seems to occur when the phone vibrates? I'd be interested in knowing if having a case on it somehow minimizes the sound in anyway.
