how thick is it? in mm?
can you post some pics of it?
I really dont like those cases because they are always on the way of my fingers when I type (edges), so I would like to see how it looks.

It IS a normal hard plastic case but it is the most thin case you will find...
For me it is the best so far!
And for 0.99 buy it and report back, you will be amazed!!
P.S: if you find a thinner case advert me with a PM or something else!

Thanks for pics,its standard plastic case as @cickova says,I bought something similiar and its weird feeling holding in hands,I had it on 4X and I dont recommend it,its not good feeling in my hands as TPU case.
And what I meant by thin case its this and I dont think there is for our LG something like this...

I have it and i don't like it. I know that if I was to drop my phone with that thing on it would not do anything to protect it and easily break the screen by the looks of it.
If you are not interested in an useless cosmetic case then I'd recommend you this one.

I have Empire rugged case with kickstand,and i really like it,but...its fat and thick (it makes the phone 100x times more durable though),and it turns a classy phone to a sport/teen phone,if that thing even exists.Kickstand thing looks like its gonna break every time i pop it but i rarely use it so its ok.I bought it so it can protect my phone,and it does that part very well.Other parts - not so much.

I too have the Empire case, I have been using it for a month. Not the best looking case but big deal.
I dropped my phone on pavement getting out of my car the other day, landed on a corner only scratch the case, phone works no damage.

i ordered a armorsuit with screen guard and an empire case for a friend..i thought armorsuit was a case..its just a carbon film.. anyone who has experience with armorsuit military shield? thanks

I bought one for my previous phone, I thought I had bought a screen protector but when I opened the box I had a bunch of little plastic pieces. The screen protector worked but I did not cover my phone in plastic, I doubt it would protect the phone when I drop it.

4X case
I bought a Nilkin plastic case and screen protector for my 4X, found it on ebay at a good price.
Ulitmately it is down to personal choice but I wouldn't feel secure without a case of some description and a screen protector; even the most basic and flimsy models are better than none at all....:good:

Similar here, using S CURVED GEL CASE COVER FOR HTC Incredible S. Looks, feels nice and it doesn't make phone bulky. For screen I went with cheapest Matte Anti Glare protector. Survived a couple of drops (~2m) on tiles and still works like new (so I guess this would rate as Good )
Ive got the S one too, its got good grip, the sides are a bit rough so theres great grip.
It kind of breaks it up on the back too, I think it looks a bit weird without the case
It adds better feedback for the buttons too
I had This, very nice
I have the case mate barely there,I guess it won't protect very much, but it came with my phone when I bought it (used).
For screen protectors I use HTC Original ones bought on ebay.de (about 3eur 2protectors) they are nice.

It funny because I can't use the phone without it, I think it's too thin/slippery maybe because I had the phone with the cover since I bought it...
Otterbox defender.
Next best thing to Nintenium. Not cheap though.
I use the casemate barely there cover and a HTC original screen protector too. Reasonably good protection against scrapes and scratches, no extra bulk but won't protect against a hard knock or a drop I reckon.

I am using an Otterbox Commuter case.. The back is very similar to the device itself, but it adds a little bit of bulk to it.. (not much though). This case protects your phone against pretty much everything except for water (offcourse). I even dropped my phone once of the stairs and you couldn't even see it. Another good thing about this case is the fact it has two layers: rubber and a plastic case around it. The positive thing about this: the rubber also protects the earphone jacket and micro USB-plug against dust etc.. That was one of my main reasons to go with this case.. not the cheapest though, but it is excellent! Also comes with a screenprotecter btw..

(Q) Galaxy note 2 rubberised back?

Loving my note 2 but I find it slippery to hold and a pain to prop up against things as it just slides away from anything you lean it up against. I know there are big rubber cases available but I was wondering if anyone has come across a rubberised replacement back to give me the added grip without the extra bulk of a case.
Any ideas to improve this lack of grip without adding a bulky case?

It's barely thicker. Maybe half a mm.

You could also try eGrips.com and then you don't need a new back cover or case.

You are correct, it's pretty plasticy. It's a single layer - pretty simple case, no frills.
And yes, I lose NFC. If I ever come into a situation where I ever could use it, then I might start to care. So far, I don't.

Chunology that case seems ok but its made from hard plastic so wont have the grip im after. Yes I think texturising the back with some sort of self adhesive non slip material is the way to go... gadget grips or similar its just a shame they dont make one that fits the back of the phone perfectly like a screen cover does.
Maybe a gap in the tech market!

I ordered some regular black plastidip, should arrive on monday, I'll let you know how it works.
Plastidip is overpriced in the UK for some reason though. It's about $6 a can in the US and about £16 a can in the UK :/
The Zagg/Best Skins ever, body guards clear protective skins have a rubbery feel and offers improved grip over the shiny plastic.
this case is idential to nikkin without the logo.

Yeah let me know how the plastidip works. Im interested to know if it peels off easily. Ive now bought a hybrid case very similar to the one posted above in that ebay link. Im fairly happy with it mines white hard plastic slim not bulky and it has a rubberised coating on it plus mine was only £3.90 on ebay . I found the rubber coating felt slippery when it was new but ive had it a week now and the grip seems to be improving.

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.

Otter box commuter or ballistics

Which one and why
Sent from my SCH-I605 using Tapatalk 2
I went with Ballistic.
First of all i didn't like how the otterbox for the SGN2 looks. They make awesome cases, but sometimes they are very ugly (ie the Otterbox iPhone cases).
another great extra is the ballistic is cheaper, u can pick one up on ebay for ~25-29$.
BTW, already saved my phone once.. it fell of the table, right on it's side and survived without any evidence.

I went with the ballistic too. Ive dropped it many many times lol, and so far no damage. My brother in law has the commuter for his note and its not bad as well. On the plus side the commuter has rubber covers for the battery and headphone jack but the ballistic has those corners. I wish the ballistic had bigger corners but im satisfied with its protection. Either way I dont think you'd go wrong.
The commuter. More solid and stylish with a cleaner look.
Which for more protection?

I believe that some people have used some spray on grip/rubber compound of some sort. One guy used it on a slim case of his to get proper grip, but I cant remember the name; google might say. I guess you could use the same on the commuter. Also there is always grip tape and you just cut out pieces for key areas of the back of the commuter.

Case feels perfect in my hand, and offers more of a gripping surface than the phone does without it. Further, since it isn't all notched up, the case moves easily enough into pockets as well.
For me, the case design exhibits a balanced compromise.

Best "grippy" case???

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

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.

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..
