Accessories and Films - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Hi Guys,
I haven't been post active but have been reading through all the threads concerning rooting and roms, to better tailor my phones to my needs. I stumbled upon the Screen Protectors and Films. I am a managing partner at Decal Spec and we constantly use different films and such for our customers and products. And I am in no way trying to promote for business, as it was not my intention when I joined the community.
But who and what would be the proper method of doing 'test' runs with some films we'll be running in the future. We would probably benefit from the feedback from the range of users from XDA.
Looking forward to feedback and questions.
Thanks Guys

You can give out a few for reviews to members and request feedback on your products as testing and wouldnt see an issue with that.

This would be your best option. Vectron here on the note 2 forums does awesome in depth reviews so he would be a good candidate for testing for you. He's very detail oriented when he reviews products.

Sounds good, and wow to Vectron's reviews. Right now we are testing this new film and have a template for the NOTE II screen.

Will do, I'll keep requests on this post. Would like to do more, if anyone has design and template experience that'd help as well. And open to ideas. I'll post shots of my current phone's setup after 4 months of use.
Currently strictly using a film for the screen and backer, we supply some cell phone shops locally and work with some in the east coast. As an alternative to Zagg and Ghost Armor.

From my experience, films for the backs and rest of the device are more gimmick than protection. Just my two cents with experimenting on a One X and Infuse.

I agree with on the films for the back. That's why I accept that the films I put on their is because I like the way it looks lol. Although since we used 3M Lamination over 3M Automotive wraps, it's kind of held up and maintains its looks. Keeping in mind like most motorcycle gear, it can prevent road rash and help soften some of the landing, but any major impact or drops will definitely hurt the rider.
I think we are planning to send out some tests for the films, anyone paying attention who'd like to participate ? I think 5 should be okay, we are working on a couple contracts and I've decided why not give a shot, receiving feedback is important to us when we decide to go into a market. So we look forward to the feedback.

Well now that I think about it, can we just start with Note 2 owners first ? haha I'll post pictures of the backer I've used so far.

I'll try it. I have an Xremeguard back peotector on now. But I still use body glove tpu case. I just hate to get my white phone dirtied and scratched up. I tend to sell my phones after upgrade
My phone of course is Note 2 from att!

what's that job pay? I might send you my resume..:cyclops:

Lost my phone and someone found it but turned it off
Lost my Galaxy Note II with all my prototype film installed and now someone picked it up but no one's contacting me.
Was riding my motorcycle near my neighborhood for a meeting, dropped my phone and noticed it right away so I started tracing my way... checked google latitude and found out it was somewhere near my house. Went within the proximity, met who I think had it and asked around knocked and rang a few bells (11:30PM sunday night) and no one and nothing.
Verizon hasn't been much help, just told me file a police report and hope they contact verizon to request for them to track it. If anyone has any advice or even maybe familiar with the process verizon has to track a phone let me know. Since it's my work/company phone it's got a lot more value in it than the phone itself, along with my prototype skins, wraps and film. And last weeks pictures for our work of projects.
Lost in the La Mirada, CA area and was last tracked within my neighorhood. Phone is a White/Marble Verizon NOTE 2 with a Custom Carbon Fiber Backer and Custom Edge to Edge Protective film over the screen.
if anyone hears or has any input, I kindly appreciate it and thank you in advance.
Reward Available.

The HD2 Sena Cases Are Finally Out!...

http://www.senacases.com/htc-cases/
Ordered mine already.
Isn't that basically a super-classy version of the pouch that comes in the box?
Yeas, but it is 'supper-classy' .
Better quality leather, with no outside seam - so fits really well without extra bulk.
Tooo each there own, tho i wouldnt shell out any money for just a pouch like that, im happy with the one i got
nice but........
........a bit too expensive. ill be sticking to the stock case.........
thats nice and all but i think the stock case does a fine job at scratches
i bought a white hibrid case from ebay just to try it....and guess what...dude is really nice....and was only 4 pounds. screen protector+hibrid case=powerfull shield.i love it

I'm not deciding anything for anyone, if people wish to spend good money on another version of what they already own they're perfectly welcome. But this is a forum and posting opinion's is what they're about. I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would buy this.
I hope this helps but feel free to ask for an elaboration.

Do you really not understand the reason that people want a good quality leather pouch instead of a cheap looking fake leather pouche? I can't believe it! You have to be joking me!
Why do people buy any kind of luxury at all? Did you every think of that? Why do people buy a vase of 5000 euro when a vase of 2 euro functions the same: you can put flowers inside. Let me tell you something about life: People don't buy only for the reason that something is practical: people buy by emotion.

Bad example, I couldn't think of any reason to buy a vase full stop, never mind an expensive one.
As for the emotion side of things, I'm well aware of that. I can't see how that applies to a phone cover but each to their own.

The lesson for today : It applies on everything that people buy that has to do with luxury.
That's what I tried to explain and that is the reason that I took a extreme example of the €5.000 vase
But to be frank, emotion applies maybe even more then average when it comes to leather accessories. One of the biggest luxury icons at this moment is Louis Vuitton. They also produce leather accessories. Louis Vuitton made a revenue of almost €2.000.000.000 last year. I hope you get the point now.

My pda/pocket pc/smartphone has been my most used device and is one of few things I have always had on me for the past 8 years. Whatever device I have at the time holds a high value to me, so I have always spent the extra money for a nice leather case. It's kind of a fashion accessory along with protection for my most important device. I usually spend $50-$100 for a custom made Vaja, Noreve, or PielFrama case. It's the same as buying nice shoes or clothes... it's something that I wear, as it's usually attacked with a belt clip. Smartphones are the modern day pda and they hold a lot of value to people. People practically have their lives organized and stored on these devices. It's an accessory they always have on them, like shoes, clothes, jewelry, handbags, etc.
wow !!!, next you lot will be argueing over the price of leather handbags. as for the op's new case, too posh for me, i like the (free) cheap looking stock case.....
LV should produce nice pouches for our HD2s! lol
tbh, this Sena case really looks nice!

Otterbox case

I started a discussion on otterbox's facebook page for a case...they said if enough people post their they could get a case into production. So lets get posting!!
I got this front paged on wmpoweruser.com so maybe people will see it
I'm in... please pepper there page on facebook with requests!!!!
http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?topic=16349&post=80651&uid=54145863002#topic_top
Done. I've always wanted an otterbox case for one of my phones since I first saw the Iphone defender case.
Here's a survey put together by Otterbox Team to get input on a case:
http://www.surveymonkey.com/s/OtterBoxSocialMediaNewProductSuggestion
They seemed interested... excellent chance to impact design.
I like their cases, because they have a pretty good belt clip and are pretty tough.
THEY MADE ONE...for the Dell venue pro. That's right. They made a case for a phone that nobody has. But yet they have no plans for a case for the top selling wp7 device. WTF.
This makes ZERO sense.
Well... except I can almost bet you Dell get in on them making it since Dell's logo is on the back of the case.
Dell needs to worry about being able to ship out a working product before making a case for it.
Sent from my SGH-i917 using Board Express
Took the survey. Hoping for the best. I'll email them from work tomorrow as well.
Done
Took the survey, hope they follow through.
Screw them and their survey, they obviously don't care about the consumers, they made a case for the Dell Venue? and not the Focus, why because they think pleasing Dell is more important than pleasing the vast majority of people who would like this case for the Focus.
I for one will not beg them in a survey, I will never use another one of their cases again, that is what people should tell them not beg them to make a case for the most popular Windows phone currently in production.
The coffin is nailed shut..
..on this now-very-dead topic.
Otterbox will not be developing a case for the Samsung Focus. They've gone out of their way for the HD7, yay for them.
Here's their weak response on the 9-page thread of Focus owners pleading with them to do their jobs (posted on 1/27/2011 on the Facebook thread) found here: http://www.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=54145863002&topic=16349#topic_top
Hi everyone. Unfortunately we will not be making a case for the Focus. Because the Windows 7 phones were such a new product, it was difficult to gauge which device would take the day. Unfortunately, we underestimated the demand for the Focus and did not design a case for it. With the amount of R&D time that goes into our cases, we just don't feel we can now deliver an option in a timely fashion. We apologize if we have disappointed our Otter fans - we do our best to idenfity which devices should get awesome OtterBox protection, but occasionally miss the mark.

They didn't "miss the mark".. they flat-out didn't bother with trying, IMO. They've had far more than enough time to look into this.
A real shame.
They have 265 posts in a few short weeks, requesting that they make this case. I'm at a loss.
I messaged them again the other day and they said there will be no case.

Well so much for Ottercase. Poor response to customers suggests that we should take our business else where and not look back. I typically never go back to a brand that doesn't care about previous customers.

Incipio are making cases

Hi Folks,
I emailed Incipio last week to see if they intended making covers for the N7 like they do for the Ipad and they emailed me back last night to say they are releasing a range of products but no details are available yet, but to keep an eye on their website and there should be info there soon. Would really like a Incipio feather case for my 7 along with a smart cover..
Hopefully in the next few weeks we'll have more info
Cheers,
Mick

Hope they make the legend case! Its the best case I've seen so far
These cases are amazing. I've Put some cash aside for when these are released. Even the international shipping seems reasonable. I'm surprised there isn't more mention of these on the forum rather than all the cheap plether bulky rubbish everyone seems to like! No accounting for taste!
Any updates on this?
I got this response from them yesterday. I did ask about which specific cases might be available but no details yet.

Thank you for your follow up email. We do have plans to be making cases for the Nexus 7, however they’re currently in development so we do not currently have an estimated release date for the cases. I apologize for any inconveniences, however if you have any other questions, feel free to let us know.

Maybe it's because lots of friggin people want to friggin buy them?
...or maybe it's because one size fits all and so it's easier to get one to market early.
No company can set up, tool up and manufacture quality products at the drop of a hat never mind them wanting to make sure there's going to be a sustainable market for it.
I realise that moaning is one of the US national pastimes but these forums are international and believe me it gets very old very quickly having to trawl past all these whinging posts to try and find the good stuff.

i agree with this. i also believe google announced the tablet and released it 2-3 weeks later and didn't work with anyone on accessories. perhaps it was to generate sales of their case, but the consumer got screwed. i'm not a fan of the asus case. from day one i wanted a leather case and over a month later, i'm still limited in my choices becasue companies are still working on their cases. i emailed marware last week and they still said 4-6 weeks.
OMG can this come any sooner?? :crying:
$30 for a sleeve? Are you guys seriously melting over this?
Talk about low standards.
Incipio makes decent cases, but they're always way overpriced. I got the N7 because of its value, and this is going to carry over with my accessories for it. If I wanted to overspend, I would have gotten an iPad.

Customized skins ?

Hi everyone, I decided to order a few customized back skins for the note 8 from @slickwraps and it looks like they are slammed with orders. Then I read some horrible reviews on this forums and around the net about this "shady" company ... damn, wish I found the reviews before ordering.
Well, it has been only 3 days, but I really hope everything is ok.
Anyone knows of another company where you can upload your own picture to make the back skin for the note 8? I tried with skinit too, but their skins don't have the camera piece. Dbrand doesn't have an option to customize your skin using your own picture.
Decal Girl. https://www.decalgirl.com/make/
I have two of their skins now, one on the phone, one for backup if I feel like changing. They have a huge range of designs, which is why I like them, but I did make a custom skin for my Note 2 years ago from them.

What's with the hostility? You pointed out that dbrand had a bad score and while failing to realize you guys had the same exact score. No where did he say he wanted a refund and instead hoped that things were going to be fine. Why not just prove to him how you guys provide great customer care instead of trying to bash other companies and belittle him at the same time?
dbrand rocks, have ordered multiple times from them, never anything but perfection. I have the dragon skin on my note 8 right now. Also have the black carbon fiber on my S7E. Ordering more for my girls V30 today.
Also search xda for a killer price on a special package, I think it is 2 for one or something. They might still honor it, but if I remember right you have to use the link from xda to get it.

Thanks for the link, they do seem to have a HUGE selection. Was currently looking for a V30 skin, but they don't have one yet. Could you tell me more about the material? Dbrand uses a thick 3m vinyl, and it's pretty durable, does decal girl use the same?

Maybe he was having a bad day. But I'm a fair guy, won't let that affect my orders. They will come this following Monday and i'll let you guys know how it goes.

I can see having a bad day but that is a **** move. I would be lying if I said I won't remember this interaction in the future when looking at skins.
Looking at this objectively, I can see where it looks like he was being a bit hasty to resolve whatever issue was at hand. Can you blame him? The whole thread harped on how slow they were supposedly to ship out skins etc. From what I read, he was trying to be somewhat helpful. Everyone needs to stop jumping off the deep end and assuming he's an jerk. Have faith LoL. Don't see anyone on this post with any bad first hand experiences.
I've bought a few slickwraps skins over the years with ZERO issues..
Lighten up, its only a phone skin, its not life or death..

Thanks for the link, they do seem to have a HUGE selection. Was currently looking for a V30 skin, but they don't have one yet. Could you tell me more about the material? Dbrand uses a thick 3m vinyl, and it's pretty durable, does decal girl use the same?

It does feel a little thinner and more flexible; the crosshatch on the back of the Decal Girl skin is thinner than the Dbrand. However, I've had no issues with either being durable. The Decal Girl skin on my Note 2 is still there, in fact, and has stayed put and worn well. Only thing I ever make sure of now is using a hair dryer on low to heat the corners down, and I did the same with the Dbrand on my other phone, otherwise the corners don't always stay down and mold to stick when heated.
I've ordered about half a dozen times from Slickwraps and had had no issues, great skins and quick delivery considering I'm in the UK. However, I ordered a few more skins in their Halloween sale this year and after paying/receiving confirmation of my order, I heard nothing else for five weeks. Considering my previous experiences I did actually contact them after one and then two weeks for an update but got nowhere. Eventually at the fifth week, I emailed and asked for a refund. About five days later I got a very rude email from one of their representatives saying they'd cancelled my order but reluctantly because I should've requested it within two hours of making my original order. How on earth would I have known at that point that I'd have to wait over a month and still be no further with my order, other than them having taken my money? It's ridiculous and not customer friendly at all. I did get my refund though, so was squared in the end but took nearly seven weeks in total for nothing but hassle.
On probability, if they had just apologised and held their hands up to being overwhelmed with orders, I would normally give a company another go as I'd had many more positive experiences with them than negative; but as of the result of the exchange I had with their rep and their terrible attitude towards me as a returning customer, I personally won't use them again now. Another thing I'll add is never pay full price for their skins, it doesn't seem like a month can pass between them have a sale/offer with 30/40/50% off, so be a little patient and your money can go a lot further if you choose to use them (or you might suggest their products are overpriced in the first place if they're willing to discount so frequently).
Personally I now use xtremeskins.co.uk which has excellent quality skins (at least as good as any others I've used over the years) and after three orders are very well priced (the cheapest I've used) and have always delivered within a couple days of order to me. Their range is limited compared to Slickwraps, but still plenty of choice for my tastes.

Shady? Happy to help you immediately cancel/refund your order.
We've been a huge supporter on XDA for years. Dbrand? Pretty sure they take the cake for poor reviews. https://www.trustpilot.com/review/dbrand.com

I have actually ordered several times from both Slickwraps ans DBrand. Never had an issue with either company. Fast shipping from both (though DBrands has always been faster than SW), and quality products.
However, after reading your posts here, @slickwraps, I will move all my business to DBrands. I find it interesting and very telling that you felt it necessary to disparage a competitor rather than standing on your own merits. And your hostility and rudeness to a new customer her on XDA, who you claim to support, is unacceptable. Bad day or not. Shows how very little you care about customer service.

Agreed!
My lord, people are super sensitive here. I didn't see any "disparagement" to anyone here, in fact he offered personal help for his order. Sure his wording left much to be desired, but the hurt feelings over this is just humorous. Of course you are free to order from whomever you like.

@slickwraps immediately started disparaging a competitor, DBrand in their reply. There was no need for that. If SlickWraps is so great, then they don't need to post negative comments about their competitors. SlickWraps product and customer sercice SHOULD speak for itself.
As far as their reply to the OP, it did come across as rude, but tone is lost in text. Maybe they meant well. I would have rather they replied with something along the lines of explaining they are determined to make the OP happy and will be sure to ship ASAP. Offering to cancel and insulting a competitor all because the OP expressed a concern seems extreme.
I also not that @slickwraps has not returned to this thread to apologize or offer an explanation or do anything..at all...to calm the feelings here. Maybe they don't need the business and don't care about lost business. So be it. If I owned a business and felt my customers were unhappy or were insulted by something I said, I would do my best to make amends. Especially in a community that can make or break my business, a community I claim to support.
But, it none of my business how SlickWraps treats their custoner base. And my business is no longer SlickWraps' business. A simple apology would have prevented them losong customers here.
Why wouldn't I buy somewhere else where I can get equal or better quality, competitive pricing, and a business who treats their customers like they actually WANT their business.
Of course, you can also spend your money wherever you like.
I rest my case

My review of the Ghostek Covert case

Purchased this case from Amazon USA. I find it to be completely uncomfortable for daily usage. The left and right sides are peaked like a pyramid so less surface area of contact with fingers. The USB cut out is aggressive and extremely sharp around it's corners. The stand appears to be metal on the inside so possible could marr the finish of the device.
$14.99 down the drain. 2 out of 10.

Indeed. I'd figure posting here so folks don't waste their hard earned. Pointless posting in Amazon's fake infested review pages.
Lol, Amazon is like a blind date with the swamp creature

Sounds like a Cramps song...
Wow, that even looks a right bag of s**te too. Any thoughts on the Razer case?
I'm a limey and therefore stuck with the Exynos junk and thought it may help. Hopefully not making wireless charging even more junk than now.
I've currently got the Spigen liquid crystal on mine, worked and looked great on my Huawei Mate 20 Pro for the last two years (except the yellowing.)
Wouldn't even ask but your case reviews are succinct and without review fluff. Not to mention you've done a few now.

Thanks fellow Brit, appreciate the kind words.
I've never looked into the Razer case, any links ?
PS, I also owned an Exynos Note 20U, it wasn't that bad, infact looking at my Accubattery Pro screenshots that I had saved , the screen on time on that device was better than my current american snapdragon variant. I bought the usa one because I needed full 4G compatibly otherwise I would have kept the Exynos. There's a lot of hype about the Exynos being turd, comparisons primarily by YouTube influencers that say dumb comments like , would you buy this car if it came with a 1.8l petrol but in america it has 5l v8 for same price BS.
