My 2 shirts I had on since I have the phone: Yes!

Having used dell streak ( slightly bigger than GNote) , i can say that it should easily fit most of all the pockets.

The size issues are really "overhyped" as it fits in any jacket, any pants, and its totally not oversized to call with. Hell, it's still smaller then the average house phone and the nokia e90. True it might not fit in some chest pockets but neither does my SII.
I've never had a streak but I'm never going back to a smaller phone that's for sure.

streak: 152.9 x 79.1 x 10 mm
note: 146.9 x 83 x 9.7 mm
data from gsmarena.
note is shorter, thinner, but wider.

And a whole lot of lighter (175g versus 220g)

Also adding a video to show how streak fits the pocket

Keeping it comfortably in the pocket ain´t a problem, it´s my hands that are too small to keep it easily

I think fit better in the pocket than my Dell Streak

Agree. It does feel a bit too big in my hands too.

Let's be a bit more specific here.
I have two shirts with small pockets that my current phone doesn't fit into - the note ain't fitting in those either.
I have several shirts with pockets that the note does fit info - but it sticks up by an inch or so. So it goes in, but not all the way. (i.e. you couldn't button it up if it had a flap). But you could temporarily stuff it in there if you needed both hands for something.

According to this guy, not an issue: Pocket test

My Tab fits in my pockets, so the note will be loose.

cant wait to get the note i think it will b fine fitting in your pocket

Yes. I think there is some phone envy going on.

Lol, maybe Samsung should also get into fashion and produce a set of "accessories" for the note, like a note jeans, a note shirt, a note jacket etc
Anyway it definitely fits in my pocket. Also, when putting it in a shirt pocket I hardly notice it is there (because of the 175g).
I agree with another poster in this thread, it is more difficult to fit this thing in my hand than in my pocket lol

I have had 2 cans of coke fit in my pocket, note shouldn't be a problem

waterproof bag lol?

I was looking at Proporta BeachBuoy - Waterproof Case but reviews show signs of bad quality, has anyone got a NOTE 1 durable waterproof bag? this would be used mainly for traveling :>
something that will carry the note 2 in and maybe a little bit more. not a full on back pack size or anything

Check out dry pak on eBay ... the only downside i noticed is that, these kind of bags overheat the phone because they don't let any air in

I guess you need something like this ?

Use transparent food foil. It's cheap and working very well.

Want to drop that in a bucket of water for 30 seconds and tell me how it holds up?
One of my friends flipped her kayak once.
She had her phone in something similar to the OP, and her phone was just fine
I've always thought about getting one after that.
The aquapac looks pretty solid.

In theory, you shouldn't be playing games or anything when it's in the bag, so it shouldn't be that bad.
Does recording video heat up the phone?
- Frank

I travel a lot with my phone, but I just carry a sandwich zip lock bag with me in my backpack just in case it rains. I have pulled that bag out maybe three times in the last year.
Personally I wouldn't invest in a fancy waterproof case unless you are planning to use it in the shower every day.

I bought one of thoose bags and scubadived with it on 15 meters depth with my note 1 in Thailand, worked very well, somehow the N1 couldnt handle 1080p under water,, coulors were horrible.,,, use 720p and start recording before diving under water...
http://youtu.be/X2OIiJA2lY0

was it a dull day or something? cos the colours look quite bad even on your 720p recording.
How was the auto focusing?
I wonder if the touch screen will work with the pen, underwater?

I have BlackBurn waterproof case for my note1 - it is quite job to slide note1 into it but it fits there. As note 2 is about 2mm brighter should perfectly fit into that case - there is still room left for note2 for his additional 4mm into high - i dont have note 2 yet, but i already checked the case with dummy
There is no problem at all with this case to handle screen, even with calling i can hear as there is no bag and also other side never complained that can not hear me. On the bike in my back pocket never get the phone wet from sweating even sometimes got caught by rain.

i was recording with 1080p in that clip ,, that was no good,, made a try with 720p later but that dive was horrible and i didnt se more than 3 meters, still 720p did wonders..
Changing to 720 p on youtube does not change that i recorded in 1080p

They are working on an SIII case, might be worth pestering them for a Note 2 case.

The 3XL box still isn't big enough though!

I've used the AquaPac for 3 years now. I'm around water most of my day working in the yard. Watering plants, digging, etc. The AquaPac has saved me several times from ruining my phone (direct hit with sprinkler, dunked into the pond). I listen to podcasts and with the Note 2, it's loud enough to just put it on speaker and go. Otherwise I've used a bluetooth headset. I now also have an older AquaPac for when I paint or am around grease.

If you go to their main website, they have other types/sizes. The one in the link above, fits the Note 2 "just right". It fits, but if you have a case of any type, it's not going to fit. Fyi, one side of the case is completely clear, the other side has the company logo.

Maybe even this one: http://usstore.aquapac.net/explore-...-cases/large-whanganui-fits-ipads-uss668.html
Edit: I have a FlyGrip on my phone and there is no way it fits into my original AquaPac. Luckily, I found this, good price and excellent ratings! http://www.amazon.com/Kwik-Tek-Dry-Multi-Purpose-Case/dp/B005G77P7S/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top

Quick look at the Orange Flip Case

Samsung was giving out Flip Cases for the Galaxy Note II and the SIII at CES 2013 show in Las Vegas. I decided to go orange. Didn't think I would like the orange color after getting it, as the day went by I really like the orange color. Here is a quick video of the flip case.

looks great! I'll take it if you want to off load it

i guess it's an acquired taste. like coffee. however, it does look very nice.

Link isn't working for some reason
Sent from my iPhone killin' Samsung Galaxy Note II SGH-I317

Thanks for the review. I ordered the orange one when Samsung was having the free flip case promotion and I was wondering what it would actually look like. A co-worker has the light blue one and that one was really pretty too.
So sad watching the video and seeing the crack on the screen. Such a bummer.

I tried an orange case but found myself growing breasts so I returned it.

You would have to view it on a regular browser, I believe if you are viewing from the iPhone it won't load. I could be wrong but will look into maybe adding a mobile link.

:crying: Yes, first week of having the G'Note II it slipped out of my hand and landed on the corner and weird part was it didn't crack on the spot. The corner was scratched up and later I went to use the phone and the crack showed up. More likely it put pressure on the corner and cracked afterwards. I'm going to replace the whole screen and LCD, but will wait for the price to come down from $300.00 for the parts.
The orange color reminds me of the Dodge Charger car.

Hey guys.
For those of us who prefer the OEM flip case but want some drop protection, consider buying a cheap lariat and feeding it through the speaker hole on the back. Wear the lariat around your wrist when using the phone and if you drop it the phone never hits the ground.
The lariat also helps you to pull it our of your pocket if you are wearing tighter jeans.

I have the orange as well. I got it for 50% for registering my phone via Facebook. The orange is very odd. It's almost peach in bright lights. I find that the flip cover gets in the way most of the time. It is nice though. If you use a car mount.... get ready to hate the cover.

I wouldn't recommend you keep it on like that, I did that for awhile and eventually the piece started to bend. Instead feed it through the hole and tape the lanyard to the inside of the back cover, You won't see the tape when the cover is closed . Don't put too much though or the cover won't close. It's kept my phone from hitting the ground thus far. This was the lanyard I used http://www.ebay.com/itm/4X-NEW-T-MO...368729?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item336ab1ca99

Looking For A Good Waterproof Case

Okay well I ride a bike a lot so it's expected that I get caught up in a thunderstorm sometimes...
IDC About the screen or buttons being visible when this happens, just so as long as the case snaps tightly shut and prevents any water from seeping through.
Any good suggestions, a best buy repeat suggested an otterbox defender but I don't think that is waterproof is it?

Ziplock bag is as close as you're going to get. No one makes one.

There are a few companies that make small dry bags. Seems a bit extreme to me, but that would definitely keep it dry.

I have a dicapac waterproof case for divers.
They say up to 10 meters, I never had any problems. It's very durable
In your case it will be good enough.

Reviews from amazon.com
Used on a 200 mile kayak trip to keep phone and money safe and dry. Excellent water protection. Difficult to use all phone features through thick plastic case. Much better than a ziplock bag, durable.

Bought this to use our little point-and-shoot while water rafting. It keeps the water out quite well but the pictures are not as clear as they should be. The plastic film leave quite a bit a haze on the pictures. Also wasn't the easiest accessing the controls, including the shutter button. Still, probably better than having to deal with buying a waterproof disposable and having to then go and (ewww!) develop the pictures. Certainly cheaper than buying a waterproof digital camera. All in all, not a totally horrible trade off.

But neither of those can be submerged. I think a lot of people define "waterproof" as in being able to be submerged/dunked/dropped in water. Not just splashed.

Yea right I know what ya mean... But in that case I'd just leave my ziplock baggy I have right now and keep it inside that case, and if it got to be too much of a down pour, I'd double it up in protection. Or one of those other 2 thick plastic cases and use it in that as well as the bike mount case.
But I doubt I'll be getting that submerged in rain water, unless I accidentally rode my bike off into a swimming pool full of water. haha!

[Q] How will you carry your Nexus 6?

Hi,
I'm a bit cross with Google for offering only the "Whale-Sized" option of the new Nexus.
Now, I'm thinking about whether I should buy it or not.
My main problem isn't even holding or using such a big device, it's mainly about how to actually carry it around with me. And I'd like to hear how you plan to handle this.
So far, I've always used a leather holster with a belt clip. This worked quite well, but for my Galaxy S4 it was already a bit...much. The holster is pretty big and not exactly unobtrusive. Now, the Nexus 6 is quite a bit bigger than the S4, so I think a leather holster probably would look even nore ridiculous...
But what other options are there? The phone should be protected, but still easy to grab at any time. Putting it in a backpack is out of the question, trouser pockets won't work (never worked for me with the S4 either). What else is there?
Thanks!

My left front jeans pocket, where I always put my phone. In the right is my wallet, keys, and change.

Much like ive carried any other phone,in my pocket. Probably in the same way millions of others are carrying their iphone 6 plus too.
Non issue.
I should be visiting other forums of lesser phones asking them how its actually possible to see anything on their measly screens
Sent from my Nexus 5 using Tapatalk

Front left pocket, as always. I'm not concerned about fashion and I wear baggy pants, so it's not an issue.

I know I will have to get some new jeans because even with my N5, my front pockets are too tight for it.

Front left pocket. I can fit an 8 inch tablet in my back pockets so this in my front won't be a problem. Regular jeans.

Been carrying my Note 2 in my left front pocket for two years. This shouldn't be much of a problem.

I carry Verizon note 3 in rear pocket jean pant or in cargo pant without any problem.

Mainly in a maxpedition organizer with other items. I did a video on this for my current nexus 5:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d8EozLbZDnc
Will definitely do the same with the nexus 6 and the bigger organizer

Looks cool, Does this bag can be in landscape hanging on the belt?

@Peteret
I think it would take too long to get the phone out of there... Also, where do you put that pouch then? Belt?

I typically only wear slim fitting jeans or pants and I've never had a problem putting any phone (currently a G3) or my Nexus 7 in any of my pockets.

In my pocket? That's the only logical place to put s phone. It's not much bigger than my old Note 3 so no big deal I like big phones because you can do so much more

belt clip case ftw. never carried any phone ive ever owned any other way. never will carry any phone any other way

The same place I carried my Note 2, note 3 and every other device I've owned.
Right front pocket.
