hey there guys I'm looking for a case for my samsung Verizon Galaxy Note 2. looking for one that fits the stock battery as well as one that fits the extended battery.trying to find with a kickstand is proving difficult.I don't want a folio or one that closes like a book I want that had the screen open all the time. also need it to be able to go in and out of my pocket easy without catching, smooth if you will but still has some grip. a tall order I know I've looked quite a bit any help is much appreciated.
The seidio surface looks like the thinnest case with a kickstand but I'm just judging by looking online.
You could look into the flygrip too. I have it and it's actually a lot thinner then I thought it would be. I love it, it makes one handed operation so much easier and it doubles as a kickstand you can use in portrait or landscape. Plus you can attach it to any case.

So far this is the thinnest case I've seen with a kick stand. A member posted this case on "Post a picture of your case along with your Note 2" thread. He said that he bought it from China. I've been looking for this case online but can't seem to find it anywhere.
that looks pretty good I'll go check into that one thanks
Siedo surface ive owned mine for 3 months no scratches on it and holds up so well worth every penny

I have the Seidio Surface too, nice case that holds up well and very slim
I have fosmon tpu hybrid case with a kickstand that's pretty slim and has some grip on the sides that I got off of Amazon for maybe 5 dollars

+1 for the Seidio surface case. Good protection, hardly adds any bulk at all, and it does have a kickstand. I usually use the active cases on my phones, but the note 2 being as big as it is, I didn't want to add that much bulk. So far very happy with the surface case. (And I've dropped it a few times, holds up very well.)
Another vote for the surface. I love the look and feel of mine. The only thing to note is that it may push up your screen protector if you have one. I had to trim mine with an exacto knife before I applied it once the surface was on. Now I'm looking at the vitreo as a new surface protector as that'll fit with the surface as is.
I ordered this case. Will let you know how it is.

I am using this case now. It is good, but too slippery and the kickstand is wearing quickly (starting to fall out of the case occasionally). But not too bulky, and decent protection..

I have that exact case too. After a while the kickstand did start to fall out of the case but i found out it was because the tiny (and I mean tiny) bump that they consider a latch had broken off. So I just dabbed a little super glue and it fits just fine.
It does get a little slippery at times, but I like that the kickstand is pretty sturdy on portrait mode. You don't often see a kickstand that is sturdy and doesn't topple the phone when you press on it.

I do not believe slim and kick stand goes hand in hand but again some cases are close to being called slim for sure

Agreed. Before getting the ZL battery, I tried a couple of kickstand cases and the thinner cases have thin kickstands.

I purchased the Seidio case with the kickstand. I've used their cases for quite some time simply because they have such a low profile and it's easy to remove the battery. My wife has the Otterbox on her Note II, but only because she doesn't know how to hold on to her device and has already shattered one Note II. The protection you get from the Otterbox is nice, but I really prefer the smaller footprint of the Seidio. Also, the kickstand works terrific.

I have the Sedio Surface case and I liked the kickstand on that a lot, but I did have one gripe. After having to take out my battery a few times I noticed the case didn't stay together very well. Sometimes the case would actually come apart in my pocket when I went to grab it from my pocket. I did find sticking some thin paper between the case and the phone helped with it coming apart often though. If you don't find yourself taking off your case a lot it might be a good case.
Now that the Samsung Galaxy S6 Edge is out and about, we're interested in learning what cases you're after (or currently using) to protect it from damage. It doesn't matter what style — flip cover, full body film, hybrid case or skin case — we want to know your favorites. Following this thread will be our "Best cases for the Galaxy S6 Edge" article that will encompass what our community has deemed worthy above the rest, so share your opinions because they matter!
Pelican Protector Case
I have the Pelican protector case specifically made for the S6 edge. While both the Pelican S6 and S6 edge cases fit my phone, the S6 case covered part of the edge notifications. The Pelican case is solid and lightweight, and most importantly, after a couple drops, my phone remains intact.
Does it reduce the mobile signal?
I like the Spigen Rugged Armor the most. Thin and has a nice feel in hand.
Spigen neo hybrid is great! I had the official samsung clear case which was nice but offered very little protection! The neo hybrid is great looking (some people may find it even adds to how the phone looks) Cut outs are done to perfection. Buttons work flawlessly despite being covered. It fits snug and feels solid as well! I honestly NEVER leave a case on . Anytime i buy a new phone i always buy a case and within a week i take it off because i just don't like the feel, the look , the bulk etc This is the first case i have ever bought that iam happy to leave on
im using this one : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-S6-E...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2ede69779b
and its really really good. i have dropped its 3 times, and nothing happend. really good product by spigen.

Nope, my signal is great!
Obliq Slim Meta Case
I am currently using the obliq slim meta case. Its relatively inexpensive $15 on amazon and it arrived in less than 4 days (im located in southern california; LA to be specific).
Its not so much for protection against drops but I love it because it protects that AWFUL camera hump and the lip on the front edge protects the screen if i were to place it face down.
super stylish as well. I cant post a link to it because i am a new member but its easy to find on amazon

Love this case!
I use the Urban Armor Gear and I love it! Dropped my phone many times and this case saved it many times! I like that its see thru and has a pretty nice design on the back. By far the best slimish case I've owned for a phone!

Anyone run a very minimal case? I don't want to add heft. I usually just use a screen protector, but otherwise naked.

Obliq dual poly: $15 comes with 3 colored accents, and it looks great.
PS I can wirelessly charge with it on also

I run just a slickwrap skin. I got the Obliq for my wife and it is very minimal but I like the wrap with a screen protector better.
one more vote for ringke fusion
Shumuri slim extra for me, should get it soon

Ringke SLIM case is simply beauty. No more worried on fingerprint.
Spigen Neo Hybrid for me too. I really like it. Feels great. Tight fit. Raised just enough to set the phone down either way and not scratch the screen or camera. Looks great.

I have this case, not currently using it due to it having no grip, really slippery, but it does look nice.
Hey , everyone .
The Samsung Galaxy S7 edge is coming . aren't you excited about it
As usual , there will be tons of cases for it , so please put everything you will recommend here to help members to choose .
As usual , Uag and life proof are my second choice
Specks , If you like the minimalist design but alway One-piece rugged combine
For online staff , Spige , Tudia and Tech 21 or Artech 21 from amazon , they are good though

I'm not sure how many of you know me from other areas of the forum, but I'm a 'casaholic' as one might say. I currently own 20+ cases for my Nexus 6P since its my daily driver, so I will chime in with my recommendations below as well as some reviews when my cases start to arrive.
1. Hands down best case: Speck Candyshell. I love this case for my 6P because it not only has great grip, but it will handle drops like a champ
2. Incipio Dual Pro: This is my current 6P case that I fell in love with. I've owned many of their cases (I have one on my Surface Pro 4 too), and haven't been disappointing. The last time I had one for a Samsung phone was with my wife's S5 before the one for my 6P.
3. Spigen Slim Armor/Tough Armor: Spigen has historically made some nice cases, but I haven't had a good experience with their newer Neo Hybrid's, so I chose these instead. I've had a Slim Armor for many phones ranging from my Note 3, LG G3, to my Motorola Nexus 6. The case might not be the best looking, but it gets the job done.
Slim cases:
1. Ringke Slim: This was my favorite case for my Nexus 6 last year due to how slim it was while still handling minor drops.
2. Diztronic TPU (assuming one comes out) their cases are excellent as is their customer support.
I will add some reviews as I get cases, accessories etc... If you want to see how I've written reviews in the past you can look in my signature, so you know what to expect once I start to post them.

this made my day ! casaholic!!
thanks for the great advice. I was a Spigen (Rugged Armor & Thin Fit) person for a long time as i always liked their thin and good protection. I don't like bulky cases.

You should see my OP for the 6P. I haven't added in the past few cases to it just yet, but I literally have a box of them on my bookshelf. I bought the Speck clear black Candyshell case because I know it will handle any drops that I will inevitably have. I don't think I will go overboard with this phone (I always tell myself that) because I'm not a big Samsung fan to be honest. I just thought the idea behind their camera set up was interesting enough to give it a try, and I like to have a backup device just in case.
I was using a Spigen Neo Hybrid for my S6 Edge for a long time and loved it, but eventually got a Mophie battery case because I needed to use an external battery all too often. I'll probably get the Neo Hybrid for the S7 Edge that I pre-ordered and hopefully the battery will last longer for me and I won't feel the need to go with a battery case.
But, while I was looking around at options I noticed that not only is Mophie already planning a case for the S7+Edge, but they are announcing that it will finally support wireless charging (yay). It is only a +60% battery option as opposed to the S6 Edge case which was a +100% battery option, but given the larger battery in the S7 edge a 60% boost should be plenty for me (I have often needed the extra power from my S6 Edge Mophie, but I have never run out with it - and 2600*2 < 3600*1.6)...
First Deal I've seen @ $3.99 for the CLEAR NON Prime shipped Ringke S7 & S7 Edge cases from their Offical Store via Amazon. Shipping is free.
The Note 5 Ringke case I had worked well. Ordered last night & it was marked shipped this morning.

does anyone know if any of these cases will work with a glass screen protector. The s6 edge did not have much luck.
I'll be looking for a subtle transparent silicon cover over the coming days. A great combination of protection without making the phone look s**t. I don't see the point is buying a phone that looks like this then covering it in something that takes the looks and feel away.

I got an Incipio clear slim case that isn't terrible. It's pretty low profile, has good grip on the sides, and is supposed to protect against drops from 6ft. Case was only $20 at Best Buy. It's such a good looking phone, I couldn't bring myself to put an Otter Box on it.
Picture of the box attached... ignore the mess in my car.
I am waiting for this to be released from Melkco. I have one for the Note FE and is very thin.

I work in construction, as well. The case I'm looking for needs to be dust and waterproof, so I researched them all. Most are not dust-tight, or waterproof, at all, but there are a couple. I reviewed two on here the other day, and that thread is down just a bit from this one.
ArmorX is what I'm using, right now. As soon as Juggernaut gets theirs out for the Note 8, I'm probably dropping the money on one... I've seen the Juggernaut cases take some serious abuse, and I'm pretty sure that whatever they come out with for the Note 8 is going to be the most protection you can get on the market.
I'm using this case: https://www.spigen.com/collections/galaxy-note-8/products/galaxy-note-8-case-rugged-crystal
It's so cute and sexy but may not be suitable with construction.

i use the unicorn beetle and can confirm it is the best. i work construction. it has flaps to keep dust out your ports but at the same time isnt super bulky
i need two cases, one rugged for outdoors and one sleek / slim for everyday use. Both should be Whitestone OK as well.

How long have you been using that case? I'm reading on Amazon that some people are saying on the first drop their screen broke with that case.
Love the UAG Monarch. I haven't dropped my phone yet (fortunately), but it feels so solid and protective while maintaining a much slimmer profile than the Otterbox.
Is the supcase unicorn pro with the screen protector have a soft or hard inner case design? Does the N8 sit on hard or soft plastic?
