Cheap silicon case, no screen protector.

For those of us who don't need / want a heavy, thick leather cover to protect the Galaxy Tab, there's a cheap alternative: so far I'm thoroughly impressed with the silicon skin I purchased from eBay, it adds grip, provides essential protection to the hard plastic case, and doesn't interfere with the tablet orientation and accessories (and adds virtually no bulk to the form factor).
As for a screen protector...well, I feel it is totally unnecessary due to the modern strong glass material used nowadays, at best it adds a visible layer that compromises the viewing angles (perhaps less so with the more expensive types, I don't know...).
Oh, and I kept the factory-fitted plastic sheet at the back of the tablet, as it definitely serves a purpose I would have inadvertently scratched the tablet's body a few times if it wasn't for this protective layer (before I purchased the silicon skin). I left it on because I sometimes remove the silicon skin, so it remains a useful feature.

Mine is totally smooth at the back. The other model shown in another discussion thread has curved areas of grippy silicon at the back, easy to see on the photos.
More importantly, check that the silicon "lips" at the front only just wrap the edges of the device, you don't want them to come too far onto the glass surface, as it's better to have access to the surrounding display surface for touch/swipe gestures and thumb grab.

Hi-breed case

The problem with the current line of Note 2 cases as of today is that they are either very thin or very thick. I was after a case that gave total protection... while retaining compatibility with the current wireless charging mods, but after an exhaustive search, I found nothing !
I have the Rock flip case which is nice but does not protect the top and bottom of the Note 2 and does not work with wireless charging, also have the "real thing" Samsung TPU case but does not have a flip cover and is very slippery, even though it is not wet! Also have some of those very cheap and thin cases, and finally took delivery of a plastic bumper case.
The product I have is a combination of the thin case and the plastic bumper case. I just cut the sides of the thin case, slotted the remaining part onto the bumper case and ......

I had to sand the back of the thin plastic though as it was slippery..... brushed effetc as Samsung calls it:
Only drawback of this case is it does not protect the top right corner of the note, and of course no flipper !!!
The lip of the bumper case feels like silicon/rubber but it does not easily slip off. I am quite satisfied with this case and I think I will keep using it until I find what I want in the near future...

I've been wanting a nexus 4 like bumper case for our phone. However they all have that antennae cutout. I like what you did with the back of it

Holsters

Anyone find a good not leather holster? Not the pouch kind sold at VZW.

Ebay has some, I bought one for 11 bucks, I don't have the link handy but if you check Ebay for LG G2 case with holster there are a few choices.

I checked it on Amazon and ebay they have some but..mostly are leather material..so waiting when the stock will get update...

I have the shell/holster combo with kickstand from VZW. I'm really liking the kickstand but not necessarily for setting it on anything. When extended it is comfortable for me to slip my ring finger through the stand and hold the phone which takes the stress off of my hand making sure I'm holding it securely.
As for the holster, it protects the phone very well. I find it almost too hard to pull it out of it though. I have to push it from the bottom instead of pulling it from the top because there is a lip at the top of the holster. And, you can't grab the sides of the phone to pull out because the holster encased it just enough to not be able to grip it.

I'm tempted to hack away at the top to make removal easier. The case itself is really nice, light, thin and textured. No ugly finger prints!

Pierre Cardin Leather Back

Hmmmm. Very interesting: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Pierre-Card...1&pid=100005&rk=1&rkt=6&sd=171853986960&rt=nc
Nice comparable price if they are any good.

it wouldn't surprise me if it was real leather. It's not going to be high grade leather at all.

And that's a case that fits over an existing plastic back?
They should make a slightly bigger case that fits over the leather back, so you can have leather on your leather when you want to lather your leather.

I just got one last week. The leather looks pretty real to me. The one BIG problem with it is that it only covers the sides of the phone and not the top and bottom. But beyond that, it doesn't maintain a very good grip on the phone. That is to say, it's way too easy to take the cover off by just tugging on a side ever so slightly. I dropped the phone once (on a mat at the gym) and cover basically flew right off. Had it been concrete, my phone would be a mess. With that said, it does feel good in the hand, and with the exception of the loose grip on the phone, I think it's pretty well made.

Using it. Not as slick looking as the original leather back, but provides quite a nice and good grip.

So it looks and feels good, but not very functional (since it flies off the phone with low height drop)
Thats too bad, the brown one looks real slick versus the overpriced stock backing from LG

Leather OR PU Leather?

[REVIEW]Melko KUBALT Double Layer Pro Case

Melko KUBALT Double Layer Pro Case
Polycarbonate plus Silicon
Just got the case. It feels good and sturdy. Surprising slim. I think it will protect my phone well. I love the look, it goes beautifully with my LG G4. The case is sturdy, fits like a glove, never loosens up or becomes all crappy looking. The texture on the back is very grippy but not abrasive.
I used this with a tempered glass screen protector and the fit is very nice. And most importantly its wireless qi charging compatible. Its charging nicely on my LG WCD-100.
Installation: lt easy to install and remove.
Grip or Feel:* Its has nice polycarbonate material touch and very grippy.
Protections: Double layer protection. Made of durable & advanced material. Help to prevent scratches. It comes with screen protector.
Appearance:
Stylish finishing,making this case look more beautiful. Many colors combination to choose from.

Thanks for the review. Nice looking case. How long have you had it? Living in Canada, I find it difficult to find sources for things like this unless it's on Amazon, but I'll certainly consider it. I notice most places I've found say it's for the Optimus LG G4. Wonder if that, in fact, is the same as the plain LG G4. Have not heard it called "Optimus".
