So, I was rummaging around DX.com and found this little beauty:
http://dx.com/p/3800mah-backup-power-battery-back-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100-white-178625
I'm thinking this would be a sweet thing to get since it's a case, battery, flip cover, with a kickstand to boot.
Anyone have any experience with something like this?

I was interested in this as well (although the stock battery is just fine). I've read the few reviews that I could find on Amazon and they were not so great. Issues such as Units smoking, phones being damaged,etc. However, none were made or sold by a reputable company so I'm going to keep my distance.

I've got one in my Galaxy s3. Don't buy it. The clip fell off within 2 weeks of light use. The battery lasts about an hour at most even though it was supposed to be 3300mah. And it made the phone run hot. Not to mention it was very thick and made the phone heavy.
The flip cover's edges peeled off in 2 weeks as well. It didn't fall off though. That's about the only good thing I can say about it.
I bought it on ebay so I guess it's my fault I got a cheap cover for $25.00. The seller had 100% good feedback so I thought I would get something good. When I emailed that picture to the seller, he said I abused it and he wouldn't help me.
I'm a disabled USMC Combat Vet, how am I going to abuse it? I don't leave the house much, I carry the phone in a messenger shoulder bag when out and put it on my desk when I'm home. Oh well, you live and learn.

Thanks for the heads up. I think I'll pass on this and just get a couple of extra batteries.

I'm not much on "phone-bling" and this is the first time I have even thought about putting a skin on my phone, but while perusing e-bay, I stumbled across this skin and really liked it. It was only $7.95 shipped, so I figured why the hell not.
Once they arrived (Got one for my dad's LG Ally as well), I was pleased to find they are made with the 3M Controltac vinyl and not some el-cheapo stuff you find on other skins. The skins went on without much fuss and (to me) look very nice. Decalskins, of course have several different designs to choose from, but this is the one I liked the most. They also allow you to download a free wallpaper to match.
The skin works fine with my clear snap on case as well. All-in-all I'm pretty happy. Of course it goes without saying, this doesn't offer much in the way of protection. But it does make the phone less slick, and as I said above, it works with the clear cases you can find on Amazon and eBay. NOTE: It does hide the bottom touch key lights, so this probably isn't of use to those running BLN. But it doesn't affect operation at all.
I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, and that's fine, but I figured I'd throw a quick review up for those interested.

I bough one from geliskins and I though it will make it less slippery but it was the opposite. Is it any better?

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Gelaskins, but I can tell you, this skin is a lot less slippery than just the stock back. I swear that thing can be used as a non-stick baking sheet.
Just sold my Xoom so I have some extra cash and went over to best buy to find a case. This was steep at $40 but I wasn't into the kindle fire cases as they all use straps that end up blocking buttons/ports. Its not a perfect fit but it works for lack of something better.

Thanks for the pics. mine should be here shortly. Looks like it works well enough and better than the one I'm using now.
I figure when they start making decent cases for the Nexus 7, I'll cannibalize this. I'm thinking about ripping out the mount bracket thats attached to the folio part and fashioning some kind of car mount with it. Hmm..
Just arrived, wish the corners came up over the bezel just a hair further, but I turned it upside down over the bed and gave it a couple shakes, didn't go anywhere. If it had a magnet in it for a "smart" feature and the corners came up a bit more it would be excellent, as it is it's still a really nice option. Much slimmer than the navitech case I was using.

Yeah it looks like it might fall out because they don't quite get over the top of the corners, but it seems to work well.
Just wanted to let people know that I bought a neat case and wanted to let other people know about it. The Flipsteady Pro for the Nexus 7 is awesome, I did a full review of the case here and we are lucky enough to have NewPencil give one away too. There is also a discount code if you catch this after the giveaway.
Anyway, I hope I am not breaking any forum rules by linking off.

/Carlsberg voiceover - "Probably the ugliest case in the world"
Somebody posted about the iPad version of this case a few months ago, it's a shame they didn't make the N7 version look any better. It also fails at one of the most important things a case is meant to do - protect the device. The folding front cover is ingenious but even with that I can't see it generating many sales at $50 a pop.
I seen the company review this on you tube quite a while back... This to me is the ugliest cheap looking Unprotected Piece of leather and or what ever its made of..
why Put a case on the tablet at all if it provides absolutely no protection. Maybe they should call it fridge hanger/ stand. Its nor really a case is it .
I think they would have to pay me to Use one...
Sorry if this opinion is rude But i see no point in such a device. Thou some of the cases should come with a kickstand. It has that going for it..
ITS A Stand not really a case..
GLAD You like it yourself thou and nice review ..
No big deal, sorry you didn't like it.

Hello!
One month ago I bought this case for my note. http://www.momax.net/eng/product_detail.php?Id=289
It was beautiful and perfect for me.
However, it's starting to spoil prematurely. It's losing paint around the edges and the colour is turning to black .

Anybody bought this case?
I know It's cheaper than samsung's cases, but It's more expensive than a simple chinese one.
Is it turning black because the paint is wearing off or is that diet accumulation? In any case just call the company that sold it to you and ask them to replace it.

Case has 2 problems, paint is wearing and blue is turning black only with the touch of trousers.
I sent an email to "momax". They need the product and the invoice. But while they receive my case, and replace it, I'd be 2 months without case.
I opened this thread to know if someone had the same problem, in this case, then I will not sent anything and I'd buy other case.
Furthermore, my experiencie will be good for the community. This case is so delicate, I take care my device a lot, and this is the result.
Thanks.
that almost looks like normal wear to me on a case. The black is most likely from the grease on your skin and can probably be cleaned up with some rubbing alcohol and cotton ball or something like that (if you haven't tried).
The paint sucks, it just means they use a cheap clear coat or don't clear it at all so it can't take the abuse of going in and out of a pocket. Since it looks like a simple case I would just pickup another similar one while you wait for the replacement they can be had for real cheap.
I tried cleaning it, but I got nothing.
Paint is beautiful, and feels nice, but it's so bad. I used it for 1 month and now it has this problem...
I'm a full year now with my zerolemon and I love it. In the last month or so I've noticed the battery is bulging and warping. It no longer fits snug in the battery compartment and is pushing the back case ajar. Soon it won't fit.
Has anyone else seen this? I put it on the standard charger all night and use it during the day but nothing excessive.
I have a backup that is still in the box from when I got a second zerolemon a while ago that I'm going to start using.
seen warping and bulging on samsung batts. but never a zl batt. something tells me it's time for a new one before you mess something up.

That's a sure sign of a serious defect.. Stop using it and chuck it out before something nasty happens.
Good advice, I'll discontinue using it immediately. Thanks!
Here are pics of a good one next to the bad one.

That's scary but you could try asking for replacement, won't hurt.
Get it replaced you dont want it to cause any damage to the phone or anything.
