My review on the Crystal skin glosst side TPU case - Galaxy Note II Accessories

I shared a couple of photos on the thread "sharing your Note 2 with case" and received a couple of questions from fellow folks here either through pm or quote.
I thought I would rather open a separate thread to review it
1. How is the buttons responsiveness?
It is awesome in my case. I think it is well cut case
2. How fast was the shipping?
I got it in 4 days and the seller marked shipping 20 minutes after i paid with tracking number. ..no kidding. ..
3 responsive seller. I am surprised this case is not a branded case yet. ..Maybe that's why it is cheaper than most other high quality cases
What I like most
No need to open battery door each time put it on or off
Transparent back so the design is not impacted much
Glossy side
Not adding much weight or thickness
I bought it here. ... http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...&nid=47951986156&trxId=Color:Mysterious+Black
And how it looks like

Lol. I read the dude's post about defender case in another thread. For what it is worth or call me bored in this sunday evening, I weighed this case.. .
Yes, it is barely 2oz while the defender is about 10oz according to his post if I read correctly?
I still like Samsung's industrial design after all. Not want to wrap it up in some thick plastic to make a brick

Careful with flash photos with it. They will affect the picture. Reflections of the case will cause blurriness and haze in your photos.
1 fix is too use a black marker or Sharpie pen to try and make a black into ring in the hole cut out for the flash. I have tried this with success.

I ordered an ebay case that I actually like and is very similar to yours. Except the camera/flash whole is one whole cut out instead of separate. I don't notice any issues with the camera.
I had this type of case on my S2 and I love it on my Note 2 as well.

Looks good, just put an order in for em

Damn I should have ordered this instead of the one I did. Looks great and for that price.
Edit:anyonr else get other colors? Im thinking about getting two.

My case arrived yesterday.
I love it . the cutting is exact and the material is not giving you cheap feeling. I like the semi-opaque back with matte feeling. The whole thing did not kill Samsung's design and I for sure like the minimal impact to the whole phone's look and feel.
The charging port has a bit rough cut inside the case. you will not see it from outside at all so it does not bother me.
All in all, i don't call this a review but a very positive feedback. For the price, it is worth it completely.
Oh, seller shipped the same day and it comes with tracking too.
To the question upstairs, i bought it from this link. http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=130827420672&ssPageName=STRK:MESE:IT

I ordered one a couple of days ago, and it arrived at my PO Box today and he confirmed shipping same day and it was on its way. Looking forward to getting this case.

That is a nice looking case

Both the black and white one arrived and yes, i took the plunge to try the white one , anyway it is just 6 bucks.
the white one is actually better than I expected! put it on it goes smoother with the note 2, granted mine note 2 is white color..
it is light and slim case that have semi-transparent back. like it a lot. Hope it covers the front tho but i guess for this price it is good. it is not a flip case anyway.
recommend!!

I like the green android, as it just looks right with Android, but worried it may be girly - maybe this is why people are choosing the brown colour?

Honestly, theres a little too much zipper for me. If it can be like those Macbook Incase pouches, then it's be perfect.
I got the Green one a few days ago. Definitely not girly. I just wished it size was a tiny bit smaller on the sides. It a bit too long for the N7. Other than that its nicely made.

At least you have the ton of pictures to look at that I added in this thread.
I ordered the green one without really seeing any pictures of the green version, so bought it at a risk really.
I'm happy with my case, not girly just androidy with the green lol
High quality case, very soft and well made.
I don't have to cradle my tablet like a baby now when I put it down on a table, or next to the couch etc.

Just so you know, I bought this one. They're all the same. It was about 7 and a half quid after postage cost from this guy.
It's cheap Chinese crap. Probably cost less than a pound to manufacture. It's decent enough for what I need it for anyway. So I'm happy.

By the time they come out with it there will be a hundred others just the same, this Chinese one on eBay is very similar to the fit folio http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/150880476182 and is available now. Can't speak for the quality mind you but I've ordered one for the hell of it.
Cool beans. Let's hope they have better patterns/designs then the iPad 3 versions.
It looks like Speck hasn't come through yet. Fortunately, Devicewear The Ridge is a pretty exact ripoff:

That's pretty much what I'm looking for, but that price stings a little bit (unless it's free 1 day shipping - just my 2c though). There's enough generics on Ebay for me to consider one of them and to just eat the typically longer ship time.

I was even kind of at the Amazon one @ 25, but 35 is enough that I'd pass. Though it does make the Amazon unit look more appealing all of the sudden...
Dang, I'm frugal.
EDIT - Though, looking at it now, I REALLY don't like the Devicewear's clips... The Speck's are much nicer. Dang. Maybe I'll be eating my words.
EDIT II - Taking a closer look at the Speck case in the images, the quality looks absolutely superb. Perhaps it *is* worth it?
EDIT III - Curiosity got the best of me. Plus the free shipping helped. I talked to their customer service a bit on the chat system to get a feel for them since I haven't interacted with Speck or used any of their products before. I thought very highly of that experience. Ordered a black one.
sweeet, just ordered one.
tired of smelly cheap cases...
will report back when I get it.

Could you tell us how much it weights ?
(amazon product page says 9.9 ounces ... which is almost as much as the nexus 7 itself!)

I just noticed Amazon has a couple in stock at a better price (at least in Black) so I ordered one with Prime, should be here Friday.

Ah well, I'm not losing any sleep over it. When I talked to Speck on their chat system I asked just how quick the free shipping was, mostly because I'm leaving for a trip on Tuesday and really want this case before then so it's not sitting on my porch for 2 weeks. They assured me the free shipping should land it at my house by late Friday or early Saturday, which of course would leave Monday as a decent backup since I'm not leaving until Tuesday. I also scored a 10% coupon code on the chat system... I just asked and they provided me with a one time use code. Not too shabby. Between that and the free shipping which seems moderately quick (whereas Amazon is 8.60 for 3-5 day shipping) I'm still pretty :good::good: with ordering from Speck.
Only thing is USPS Is kind of in regard to tracking info, which is how Speck shipped my case, whereas Amazon is solid (in my experience). So right now I have no idea where my item is besides the fact "it shipped."
Does anyone have an idea of how thick this cover is with the Nexus 7 is when the fitfolio is in the closed position?
Actually.. I'm more interested in what the cover looks like with the Nexus 7 when the cover is folded over for normal use. I can't seem to find a good picture of this with the kindle fire fitfolio...
Just ordered one in blue.

Samsung Genuine Flip Cover available from Mobilefun.co.uk

I am a proud owner of a white galaxy note 2 for a week now, i bought it from expansys.. and alltough i allready has the note 1 i am amazed how good this new version feels and its improvments...
Anyway i found it very stupid that even though such a premium smartphone comes out and the companies dont bother to release accessories with it.. you have to wait so long to get them!
Good news is i ordered a Genuine Samsung Flip Cover (white) from www.mobilefun.co.uk and should have it in a few days time..
Its the first company i found that has availability of this case, which as you might know replaces the battery cover and protects also the front screen.
I am now waiting for a samsung car dock with usb ingector to come out as the note1 which was perfect..
The blue looks cool think it would look good with the white note 2 , 40bucks is kinda steep though, any coupons or rebates

My flip case arrived this morning. I have a white Note 2 but thought the silver contrats with it pretty well after seeing some video of the case fitted.
The back part of the case is actually slightly thicker than the stock backing. This is to accomodate for the hinge where the front cover attaches. You can see that the chrome surround on the lens sits just slightly below the level of the back case in the photo below. It also feels thicker when you unbox it as there isn't the flex in it as per the stock back casing. Fits lovely and looks real nice though. The micro-fibre lining on the inside is also a nice touch as well as a slight recess for the home button to sit in when the cover is closed.
Hope the pics are of help if any.

It's a very nice cover and really thinking about it.
However, this case is going to cause problems with use in a car holder (for GPS)
How practical and durable are they in use? Making calls for example, if you have to fold the flap back will the hinge distort, crease, or break over time?

I had the flip cover on my Note 1 for nearly a year and it never had such a problem. Since the Note 2's flip cover is basically the same design, I don't think it will either.

No issues doing either.
I'm getting the White Galaxy Note 2 & just wondering is the grey flip cover a better suit for it then the white version of it?
I myself would only change the back cover only if I thought it looked good & matched well with the white GN2.
my only concern with the flip cover is it doesnt provide enough protection to the phone. Its not going to cushion any fall like a wrap around case would.

I used the white flip cover with my Note 1, and let me tell you, it got very dirty, very quickly. I wouldn't recommend it
case
very nice fitting ok when i univirsal clamp incar holder but pain in the ass to take pics with i got the grey phone with white case as that was the only one i could find in town bit pricey @£29.99 but got it free with the phone but need side protection so am still looking for something more rugged one
bob
The only thing i don't understand about this case is why they didn't make a hole for the notification led.
I got mine today and that is the first thing i noticed about it.
I will end up making a hole myself in it but i think it is a design fault
Oh i got the grey one and i heard that the notification led with the white one is visible although it is also missing a hole in it.

Looks really nice
Unfortunately, it'll probably kill cell signal and GPS signal too much for it to be useful
S3 version is $90.
No thanks. Who is their target audience

Hmmm... these are different from your average 10dollar cheap metal cases haha maybe they won't
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
Reviews on the s3 version indicated it did drop signal just as any other aluminum case. It's nice but not worth the money. It is machined perfectly and does look good, probably the best looking case setup I've seen.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I used Draco for my S3, for me it's worth the price, paid around $65 that time, but it makes the phone bigger significantly, which fine with me for S3, but for Note2, I think it's too much.
Signal does drop a little bit.
wow the case is sexy, i don't think it makes the note looks that much bigger from the picture. but the price is too hight. i think i will pass
I've been waiting for this ever since I got my note 2
So where can I buy one from? I'm in the uk, I don't see anywhere available for the Note 2, they look really good, especially in red. Anybody able to supply me a link, cheers.

Sorry for the old thread revival. Just wanted to post in case you were still interested. I did a search to see if anything was on XDA about the case.
www.dracodesignusa.com
That's the Draco Design website. Shipping to the UK might be high. Not sure myself. I have one on the way and will do a review for you guys with a bunch of pictures.
Does any one have any pictures of these on there phone, how do you like it

what is the purpose of having a bumper? It's does look like it can protect anything.

VITREO on, right? I assume Draco lip is high enough to lay screen down without temp. glass touching the surface? Since I'm not familiar with bumper cases, do they offer a good drop protection? I assume there is a padding inside to absorb the shock and isolate phone from hitting the metal bumper frame if dropped.
... never mind, saw your official review post and got my answers about the design
I was thinking I'm done with reviews of cases, but this kind of picked my curiosity again

Vitreo has enough of a border it doesn't touch the case. When laid flat, I think the Vitreo and bumper touch at the same contact point.
Tolerance looks very close. hard to tell. I slide it on the edge of a counter and it seems seamless. If anything the Vitreo sticks out a little further than the bumper.
Ok received my draco gray today.. Love this bumper.. No noticeable signal loss, great high quality peace... I am using it with the mugen extended battery.. I had to modify it some for it to fit.. Shaved off the lip in the back side.. Will post pictures as soon as I have another phone to take some.. Looks better than I thought it would..

Giving away/Selling some m8 cases

Hi Not sure if this is allowed, maybe I should read the rules again.. But anyways, I have gone through a few cases for the m8 trying to find one I really like and want to stick with. So now that I have the UAG case which I'm happy with, I figured I could give away or sell my other cases at a really cheap price to some of you who are looking for a case for your m8. First come first serve, preferably free cases to someone who doesn't have a case and actually needs it. Shoot me a message. I'll update with posts below as things go. Will have pics up soon of the ones I'm selling

Hey... Not sure if you still have it... But I'm very interested in the kayscase. I don't have anything yet and I was actually looking at that case.. I'll PM you as well.
I'll take the kayscase

I know it's against the rules to sell anything on the forums. But you should be good on the giveaways.
Also if you decide to giveaway the otter box I'd love to have it so I have a super protective option.
U got any more cases
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk
I knew I wasn't "crazy" and alone in having 3 or 4 cases usually for my phones for the particular need I have at that day/moment. Powered cases, hard cases and cases that are somewhat "my children proof". I've had, mm, 8 or 9 Android devices, maybe more and the kids have managed to spill or pour drinks on 5 of them. My 1 year old even threw (literally threw) my HTC ONE X into a bucket of water.. Plop.. HA, oops.. Counting, XOOM can't be mobile, needs to be connected to power to work after water spillage on it. 2 Nexus 7s (2012 models, my 2013 model is hands off) don't have working USB plugs now, but I can charge them via the dock and POGO pins. A Samsung Galaxy S was water damaged, wifi doesn't work, forget if sim card works. Some motorola phone that was given to us was stepped on and yet again, water spilled, for some reason my kids love mixing water and android devices. Yet they can spend 'a good time' using them for Youtube and kids games, 2 + 4 year old are their ages now. Have been Android user since 1 + 2 respectively :good:
I've only got the case that came with the international M8 and bought some ebay HK "genuine leather" case that will let me put it at various viewing angles and fold up like a wallet/purse thing so I _hope_ that manages to keep my kids at bay. May this phone be the first one that doesn't go for a swim! Oh, I hosed my LG G2, 'somehow'', use FreeGee to backup EFS, tried a particular radio, no good, did a 'simple restore'. Phone was hosed, EFS was corrupt or dead, or whatever. It was giving boot loops, constant reboots once in ROMs that worked, no wifi/sim.
I finally have it at a state, it is in either a LG or KK ROM as I want, 20 minutes to restore JB Stock ROM or so, and upgrade if wanted, but no radio/sim/wifi which sometimes reboots. I'll play with it if and when I finally find myself not glued to the M8 at any true spare time (No kids, not on motorbike, not doing stuff with tablets or PC). Hopefully, August, heh heh heh.

It is against the rules to sell on XDA. Please use swappa to sell devices or accessories.
