In the works ballistic shell gel (sg) series case

With the otterbox on the way and this I'm not to sure on what to get. I'm thinking this one so i can put a Glass.T on it. Otterboxes have a screen built in and i'd hate to have to cut a case. Anyways here are some details from the site.

here is a video of the original note with the case on so you can get an idea of thickness
and here is a kind of regular guy review of Shell Gel cases

The pics of the note 2 look nicer than the note 1 videos. I might consider this. Thanks.

Nice, considering this case also.

I have this on my HTC sensation and its awesome. I recommended this to my friend as well and he love it. I'm waiting to get it for my wife's note its just solid and doesn't feel bulky in the pocket and I've dropped twice from seat height and all is well. Better than the over priced over rated otterbox which was great when first released now they are just out to make money. No quality in them anymore.

I was saddened when I learned SGP is not making the Glas.T protector for the Note 2. This curved glass thing is irritating. But, their ultra crystal is amazing, I highly recommend it.

I just posted a question in the Q&A forum...how non-slip is this case? I'm looking for a minimalist case with excellent non-slip properties.

the texture is on the sides of the case in this version. super grippy.

I know a lot of people seem to like this case but seriously I think that it's overrated. I bought it from a T-Mobile store and returned it within 15 minutes. It simply is not grippy enough on the back side. If you rest your fingers on the back side while you use your thumb for actions the whole phone slides around if you shake a bit. The only ones that are grippy this way are the ones that have a smooth plastic surface on the back. The Samsung oem case is like that and my current favorite the case-mate pop. I have yet to find a better case than that and I have already bought 15 cases including the seidio surface, nillkin, the Samsung flip and oem... The body glove is just too thin and the protection it provides is just too minimal. Everybody has different preferences of course but imho you can do better with your money than the body glove....

Thanks OP! I was looking for the best price on this case, and this place won me over. Shipping is 16-21 days, but I'll put my patience hat on until then

Tempting to buy this case now:laugh:
Most places are having these on sale now?
http://www.wirelessground.com/samsung-galaxy-note-2-ii-body-glove-dimensions-case-black.html $14.95
http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-9310601-Dimensions-Samsung/dp/B00A87K5SW/ref=pd_sim_cps_2 from $11.98

This is the case I have been using since I got my note. It is pretty thin but well protected. Good deal.

I bought the other body glove case from a Sprint store. If it's the same material, I found it to be too slippery. Using it with one hand while trying to reach around the screen with my thumb felt like I might drop it. I like the case as it seems like good protection, but I would want to add the fly grip to the back of it to secure it in my hand.

Best thin case?

Nillkin or Rearth are the only ones I see that are thin, any other brands/cases?

I cannot complain about the rearth case one bit. My, surprisingly enough, has fit, since day one... YMMV.

The nillkin is pretty nice too as long as u get it in black.

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.

Well, I got this one: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/170931477182?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 fits perfect, cut outs are on the correct place and I reckon you can't buy a thinner plastic hard case that that one! And for just 99p, absolute bargain!

I use to have the Rock Quicksand for my HOX but now have the Nillkin for my Note. Much preferred the Rock Quicksand; it's slimmer and provides for a better grip.

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.

I could care less about the back cover since they're like $10 to replace, it's the plastic chrome sides that need protecting.

Diztronic, love 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.

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?

I just with Diztronic would make their cases in more colors.

They've got a clear white frosted one as well. Just ordered one.. for my Titanium note. Seems counter (color) intuitive, but should be interesting

On diztronics website they say they only recommend the frosted clear case with the white model.

[Q] Cases you are using

I am curious to what cases people are using and recommend. I am currently uaing otterbox case I bought when I got my phone and the corners are starting to peel back a bit, so I feel like I need a new case. In my area they don't have much for good protection cases that aren't to expensive.

I'm using the poetic atmosphere case. It has a little lip that lifts the screen off a table when face down, decent grip, and full back coverage. All while being really slim. I had a problem with my first one coming apart, but poetic sent me a brand new case that was "improved". And I don't think they were lying, the new case holds tight to the phone and is staying together nicely. Plus, they are cheap on Amazon.

I've got the Cimo Grip back in frosted clear, and my wife has the amCase with bumper(because it is pink ) I like the Cimo and have heard good things about the Poetics, I will say though that the amCase one doesn't have the power cut out so you cannot use the IR blaster. Altough it is easy to cut out with an exacto knife or the like.

Which otterbox? I am using the commuter and haven't had a single problem.

I use Seidio surface cases on any phone I get. Mainly because they don't add much bulk, offer good protection and come with a belt clip. My phones always look brand new when I sell them a year or 2 later.

That looks like the defender.
This is the one I use http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-One-Com...ne,default,pd.html?start=3&cgid=htc-one-cases

I use the urban armor gear for my daily and the poetic flipbook every now and then.

Seidio Surface with kickstand. Love it

I'm using the body glove case that I got at the sprint store. Its nice and thin.

poetic atmosphere during the weekends and an otterbox commuter or defender during the work week if im out on jobs with my employees.

Just some cheap case for 3.99 from ebay, works well enough that screen does not touch when facing down and as well as the camera. IR blaster works and volumes buttons are easy to press.

I'm using the two tone original HTC case. Sexy as hell. Protects the phone nicely.

I use the cimo s grip and ditztronic tpu , both great cases

I'm using the Incipio Dual Pro and I love it. The only thing is I got the aluminum brushed one, and the back scratches REALLY easily. Oh well.

Thanks all for the feedback. I will look into all these cases and see if any spark my liking. the corners on my case are kinda starting to bug me, I don't know why, but it does.

I just got this case about a week ago. Pretty solid so far.
