"Otterbox Commuter" Mod with a Kickstand - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Otterbox offers some of the best protection cases for devices. It rarely incorporates kickstands as part of the main casing. This shows you how I managed to splice in a thin kickstand from another casing. This saves you from carrying those stands so you can watch videos hands-free.
The "Otherbox Commuter" case you see here is an exact $5 replica done by a company called Swisstech in one of their kiosk stores here in Metro Manila. The original Otterbox Commuter cost $70 retail here.

The TPU case with the kick stand actually cost more at about $9!
You can exact the process with the original Commuter case if you want to do this.
This will give you peace of mind for accidental drops but giving you that kickstand function but still as thin.
Here's the video link of the finished case:

That's a lot of work for a single position kickstand. I just attached this kickstand to my case and I love it:

Nah, the point of the project was to really put the stand inside and not be just anything that I put on to the surface of the case. The 3 hours I put into this paid of so that it can still fit into my book hiding place for the Note II.

I've been to the Philippines twice and love it. It's not that it's so dangerous that you will get robbed blindly down the street, it's that items of value are less common, so you could get swiped in the most inopportune times. In the US or other locations, it's more common to see expensive gadgets. There is a lot of poverty in the Philippines and in regions of the world like that, it's very common.
It doesn't suck because you grow up knowing that's the way things are there.
ANYWAY, back on topic. Is there any way to get a Swiss-Tech case online? Was looking and it seems there is no way to get them. I like the price and the difference in look from the "Otterbox".

I'm all for making mods where necessary, but a similar case with a stand already built in seems easier.
This one is $7. My wife and I have them in different colors. They're great.

There's none, as I mentioned. There are even different color variants of the silicone part of this like pink, blue, red, yellow and white.

Ya shipping cost sucks however I was able to get 3 for $13 including shipping with a coupon.

yeah, 4-5 bucks delivered isn't bad, but anything more is silly

Id just go for a otterbox defender case. Super tough case plus the clip on the holsters locks open if you want to become a stand.. on the down side this case does make it a bit bulky but still protects it extremely well. .

Yes, there are reasons why is choose the Commuter over the Defender. One thing is the difficulty of changing the battery and taking out the micro SD card. I'd not be using that holster that much either. Where would I store that? I'm trying hard to conceal the Note, not actually show it off on my waist.

Has anyone tried this specific "smart cover" case?

I looked around for smart covers on ebay and found the cover below. It doesn't fold around like this case does and in general looks more stable judging by the pictures (they could be wrong though).
Have any of you tried it? I have not found a review of it yet but I figured it might be worth asking.

Looks cool, but it would have to be much more stable than it looks to me.

Yes I have this case, I tell you its a beautiful case to hold and look at. There are other colour variants available which I got the red one.
Its very sleek, doesn't add much weight or bulk to the device.
The sleep functions works brilliantly, and doesn't lock the device when you fold it over to hold like a book, which some do.
ONE DOWNSIDE!!!! - The stand is very hard to figure out (i have not yet figured how to fold it to make it stand up haha !)
Hope this helps answer your questions.
And I genuinly recommend this case as its ace ! (that rhymes weee)

Have you got a link for any of the other colours? The ones I see in multiple colours are the ones with the wrap-around magnetic closure in the back (which I have, I'd like to have one that just lies over the screen for use at home).

You're right mate, asif
Yeah the coloured variants have a lip that does go round the back, but its not noticeable and surely you want this to keep it nicely closed and secure?

I think it's noticeable, especially when I have that extra flap to fold back over when I'm using the N7 in my hand.
I want to keep it closed and secure, sure, when it's in a bag or something. But my N7 spends most of its time on my coffee table or bar; I'd love to have a slim case with just a flap over the screen to keep the dust out. That doesn't cost $30+ like the Poetics or Portenzos of the world.

So do you have this exact case or not? I've seen the other ones and I'm not interested in them after reading the reviews. That's why I started a new thread about this one. If you do have this one, some pictures would be great.
I went and ordered one of these, but likely won't have it for a couple of weeks since it's coming from China. Will post my impressions when it arrives.

That's a different case, with the wrap-around flap on the right side. I already have that one.
look, heres the deal, that case may look pretty but any case like that wont stay closed. for it to be closed, there would have to be magnets along the edges like the portfolio. any case maker that says the case will stay closed without magnets on the border is lying.
I own one and its awesome. Buy it.

I have to admit, I never really liked these cases... but after seeing that YouTube review online, I'm curious enough to give it a shot.
I'm absolutely in love with this Speck case, but I do have a minor concern with it. I use my Nexus 7 frequently, very frequently, and not only that but I use it for work. I'm continually walking up and down the hall at work going from one problem to another, using my N7 along the way. As a result, I'm concerned I may wear out the clip on the Speck case quite a bit. This only became a thought when I realized the clipping mechanism is significantly easier now than it was when I bought it. Broken in? Maybe. Will it get even softer? Very possible. This case ensures that won't happen since the magnets of course don't have physical contact to wear like that. While the higher stand up position seems a bit easy to topple over, the other one with the N7 (one I'd likely prefer anyway) looks a bit better in terms of stability.
At any rate, ah, I bought one just now - we'll see what happens when it gets here.
Edit - for what it's worth the one I ordered did indeed have the magnetic flap that goes around back to ensure it stays shut. I'm not sure I'd consider one without...
Case arrived today, so far I like it, the cover lies flatter than the eBay case with the extra flap, and it feels slimmer. Only downside so far is that it sometimes puts the tablet to sleep when I fold it back. We'll see if it gets better over time. I'll try to take pictures when I have a chance.

maybe slip something to block the magnet on the back? not sure what can maybe help on that front, but maybe a little thickness might be enough.
Side note, anyone have this and the poetic slimline case? I got the first case they had for my uncle, but it's a bit difficult for him to open. I'd get him a portenzo like mine, but it might actually add more bulk than I'd want for him.

info on the illusive "Bodyglove Case"

Normally these kind of things are not worthy of a thread but I had a hard time finding this case so hopefully I can help with this thread.
As of today, you can not find this on ebay, amazon, or other web stores found through google search
The only known website that has this is sprint.com and bodyglovemobile.com and they are both out of stock. I saw them in stock around 11/12 on both site so it's not those "we haven't updated our website" thing. It really is out of stock.
I called 7 official sprint stores in Los Angeles and only one store has it.
If you have a hard time finding it. Do a search on yelp and call around your local official Sprint store and refer to part number CZS5478Q. Non-official store are not owned by sprint so they will mostly not carry this accessory, don't waste your time on those.
The price is $24.99 + tax, sprint store currently has a 20% on entire accessory order if you buy 2 or more accessories. If you get a $9.99 screen protector you will end up paying $27.94 + tax. Just something to think about.
This case will fit Sprint, ATNT, TMobile version of the Note II and very likely international version as well. I believe there are also T-Mobile version and ATNT version of the bodyglove however I find the sprint model most pleasing to my eye.
Last thing I want to add is that this case is very slim. Doesn't add too much thickness like generic ebay tpu cases. The protruding protection edge to the screen is only about 1mm.

Nice pictures... and firearms :good:
How does the back feel in the hand? Looks like kind of a rough texture.
Back feels great. It's not as slippery as the battery door. This thing is also super slim; exactly what I wanted. Better grip and a little extra protection without added bulk. Only thing less bulky would be a skin. If you're prone to phone drops this may not provide the best protection but I'm careful with my toys so I'm not worried. Had my friend who works for sprint pick one up for me. Saved me a few bucks

feels great, I change phone and naturally the case as well.
The embedding diamond pattern is about 1/4mm for the "height".
It is not rough on the hand.
This is the best tpu case that I ever purchased.
Looks very nice. Going between this and the Blue/Black Seidio Active Case w/ Kickstand. Called all the local Sprint stores, no stock. I have a cheap $3 case on my Note 2 right now that I will keep using until I can get a hold of something better.
Here is a link on Sprint's Webpage if anyone needs it.

Does ur version (T-mobile) of the case slides in & out of the pocket easily?the material looks alike with those spigen sgp ultra neo hybrid cases..& they r easy to slide in & out of the pocket...could u please take a picture of the front side?..thanx for the info..
if any of you guys are interested, i have a bodyglove case i got from sprint store couple weeks back.
I bought a case from seidio and i am planning to return bodyglove case back to the store.
If any one is interested, i will sell it to you for the same price i got it +shipping 2.95. we can do paypal.
Hmm...I really want the case shown in the photos of the OP. I am investigating and will wait around with one of the cheap cases til it is available. It's GORGEOUS!!
Ok, just found one (the last one) in a local Sprint store. Still interested in finding this online though. My girl will want one of these for sure!!
Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I did manage to grab the last one at my local sprint store and grabbed one and I am happy with it. Wish the edges were a little firmer but it feels nice and doesn't add any bulk. HATE paying 25 for a thin piece of plastic but i guess it is what it is.

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

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..

We have been talking about this knock-off case for 2 weeks already in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174889
It's a fake Griffin case for Note 2, even so Griffin does NOT even make cases for Note 2. They took S3 design and scaled it up to Note 2. This is NOT waterproof case, but has one of the best protections, better than Defender. Check out my review in the link above. Plus, you can get it cheaper from www.tvc-mall.com

Pretty sweet looking case, choice of colors are good also... the holster doesnt convince me much but for the price its worth a try.. although the camera being covered might present a problem for someone who uses the camera often.
Look into my review here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174889 and also scroll down to the second post where you see a lot more pictures. Quality is superb, protection is better than Defender, built in screen protector is very functional (though have to remove inner plastic cover which I forgot to do lol!!!), the case will be very bulky with additional protection but it's meant for a heavy duty rugged use outdoors. You toss this em-effer from a 5 story building on a concrete floor and it will probably survive
Belt clip is bot as sturdy, but its a design of original Griffin Survivor. Keep in mind, Griffin does NOT make Survivor for Note 2. This is improvised knock off where S3 case was scaled up for Note 2 footprint. Camera flip is fine because it attaches on a string where you can turn it out of the way without a need to hold down the flap.

Think it's too much to hope I can buy 2 of these and mix colors? From the other fake survivor thread it seems like the quality control on these can be spotty. Do the microphone holes look much smaller on these than the ones from case parts or am i imagining things?
Also, I too am wondering about the validity of this site.

Of Aliexpress? I buy from them all the time. I have yet to have an issue with the sellers. Also, you should buy from popular sellers. Regardless, they don't get paid until you get the product in your house and release the funds. I wish I could say the same about CrapBay.
locally here in china.. 42RMB is around $6.75

I ended up ordering one locally here in china on taobao. The case is really nice and I like it alot. The only downside is the rubber that protects the camera I could do without . It is a littke bit of a hassel when you want to take a picture. Other than that well worth thr $6 usd.

The only bad part that I dont like about this case is that the power cable if you use a non standard end it will not connect properly because the case.

Why would you want to use an escrow service for such a small amount?
That's how they do their sales. Wasn't another option available on the site or at least not one I could find.

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

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.
