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

Yeah one of my friends had power button issues with his first note 2, so maybe mine just has an issue. I'm going to swap it out tomorrow I think.

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.

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?

Dx.com has a bunch of cheap bumper cases for around $3 in multiple colors that match the flip case colors. I would check them out.
does anybody know where can i find an all clear tpu casing? been searching online for one, but to no avail
LOL we need to know your definition of cheap, but as adrenalinemotion said, go with diztronic. It's not expensive, I'd say not very cheap either, but it is close to being cheap. The quality is top notch I promise. I never go with TPU case as their nature of loose edges allowing dusts and the like get inside between the case and the phone, but with diztronic I'm loving it. For color-wise, they only have clear, black and glitter white/clear but I think they will have more coming soon.
I got myself the Mercury jelly case. I think it's fairly decent for its price. Personally it's just something to tide me over until I get a better case (probably the UAG one).

The "sparkly" design (shiny little dots all over the case) makes it look classier than your average plain TPU case. Overall I'm very satisfied with the material , cut-outs and I think the phone fits snugly into it (perfect fit imo). My only gripes are
1. the exposed top right corner (I know its for the antennas for the Korean models but still...)
2. the volume rocker cut-out (I can press it without any problems but it just doesn't feel nice to me.)
3. Edges are raised too little to offer much protection to the screen.

And, out of curiosity, what, precisely, is so unreasonable or absurd about his request? Namely, a TPU bumper without an antenna cutout (an antenna which apparently is ONLY available in tiny little Korea and nowhere else in the world) with button cutouts (a preference but apparently not a requirement from the looks of his post)?

If the buttons lined up fine and doesn't need a whole lot of pressure to work the buttons vs uncovered I wouldn't mind. But a few of the cheap cases don't line up and make it more difficult.
But I spent over an hour the other night and I think I found 1 maybe 2. But they didn't do much for me.

That antenna is available in other countries also, like Japan. Not just Korea (not sure if the antenna is even used in Korea.) Don't assume and then post as a fact.
I never called his idea or desire absurd as you say, I just know it doesn't exist.
I've spent hours looking for a decent tpu bumper. I've purchased 2 and they are terrible. A good tpu bumper does not exist for the note 2. That's why I called it a unicorn.
I would sincerely like to know if he finds this item, since I would like one also.

I tried it and it was a failure. Lol A designed/molded one has a finished edge on the lip. This keeps it somewhat rigid and adds strength. When I cut one it got all floppy and flimsy. Didn't work well.

Yeah, I'm slightly worried about that too, but if you think you'll be dropping it, a heavy duty case will likely serve you better. I use a case to avoid scratches and not really for drop protection, which seems to fall in the realm of luck/bad luck.

I've got the Case-Mate Tough Case and even though it has the little bump pattern on it it's way too slippery... it's not rubbery feeling like it looks in the pictures...
And I've spent the better part of a week reading reviews and searching and can't find a good answer... So what's the best case for GRIP? Preferably it should give decent protection, not be too big (I don't want something like the huge Otterbox or Seidio Active) and have a lip on the front to protect the screen.. other than that I just want it to actually be GRIPPY!!! This phone is huge (it's awesome, but huge) and I really need some grippiness on the back so that I can one-hand it... I've looked at the Aegis, Ballistic, UAG and others but there are mixed reviews as to the actual feel of the outside. I want something that I can lay it in my hand at a slight angle and it won't just slide off... The Case-Mate really checks all the boxes except for the fact that it's just so dang slippery!!
So if you've personally got a case/used one that you find exhibits exceptional "grippability" then toss a dog a bone and hook me up..
Thanks everyone..
(and if you're in the market for a Case-Mate Tough case then I'll make ya a deal....although it's prolly not worth the shipping..lol)
Not sure but I use a Body Glove and its pretty grippy around the sides (not so on the flat back tho). I remember hearing of some adhesive kind of like Flygrip but cheaper kind of like tape/sticker which you could apply to all kinds of different things altho they made some specifically for phones and other devices to give you a better grip .
First off I'll take that case mate if you're in North America definitely not worth the shipping otherwise. Anyway I would assume any tpu case is as grippy as you're going to get but there's a protection trade-off obviously. You could try getting a flygrip or a sling grip. I have the fly on my otterbox/zl setup and it's definitely the best one handed solution I just feel super nerdy using it lol.

Yeah, I thought about getting some of that tape stuff but somehow putting tape on a $500 phone just feels wrong.. but I may have to resort to it...lol

PM me if you really want the Case-Mate, I'll prolly keep it until I find something better though, it's slippery but at least it's protected when it falls.. And yeah, I had a Fly Grip, but I made the mistake of selling it with the phone I had at the time, plus I pocket this slab of a phone and I'm not sure I could handle the extra bump on the back...
No rush I'm just a case hoarder lol. If you find something else hit me up.

One of the few that's actually described as being grippy, that may be the ticket... haha.. thanks

I don't think anything comes close to a cheap gel rubber case for sheer grippines. There are any number of brands that can be had for 4 bucks shipped and I keep one around for when I want to sit and read manga.
They suck for sliding in and out of a tight pocket though. There is a point of being too grippy.

I went ahead and got a cheapo rubber/silicone case from Ebay.. I figure I can't go wrong trying it when it cost <$6 shipped...
I have this case in black (also a couple of other colors). It has grippy ribbing on the sides and the Android logo on the back is matte ... overall a reasonable balance between grip and something that will go in and out of your pocket.

Does that case have any kind of lip on the front so you can lay the phone on it's screen and it won't touch the surface? I couldn't tell from the pics on that site?

Have you looked at the Case-mate Pop case? This is probably my favorite case I own. It has rubber grips on both sides of the case, and on the lip in the front. I think this may be what you are looking for.

All yhe reviews on that thing say the kickstand is a POS... is it really that bad?.. I probably wouldn't use it but it would kinda suck if I broke it the 1st time I used it... what's your thoughts on it?

The best grippy case and most protective case you will find is I Face case

The kickstand is kind of hard to use but I hardly ever use it. Honestly that wasn't one of the reasons why I decided to buy the case. I had one of these cases on my BlackBerry Bold 9900 before I bought my GN2. I like that my phone feels solid in my hand, it's not too bulky, it's easy to put on/take off and it offers great protection. I already had one drop when my GN2 fell out of my jacket pocket from about three feet to asphalt and the only wrong was my case had a small scough mark. I like the case. This is just my opinion.

Yes, the case has a raised lip around the screen. The lip will keep the screen off a flat surface like a table; it is a significant lip. There are many pictures of this case in the thread where people are showing photos of their cases. Here is a youtube.com video that is pretty good.

I honestly prolly wouldn't use the kickstand that much either... but it's good to know that it's probably not as bad as some of the reviews..
