Hi All
So the hunt for a good Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Note begins... similar to this one would be great!!
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protec...one-back-case-for-i9100-galaxy-s2-black-70754
The minute I find one I'll buy it... I actually prefer getting the case even before I buy the Note.

I'm with you, this phone is too expensive to damage. I've been searching everyday and have yet to find anything. I usually prefer Ballistics' cases but I doubt they will be making one for this phone so it's back to the drawing board. I'm also wondering if zagg will be making a screen protector for this device. Don't know what I can expect with such a massive device. Maybe turn to the manufacturers of the best tablet cases... I'll post here when I find some cases.

I facebooked Both Ballistic and Otterbox and they both say they don't have any plans for a case.
I'd hate to use my Note without a really good case. Maby i'll make one out of wood...

I'm liking the little brown case that just has a front flat that opens up like a book but it's not protective at all lol
Me too but I can't find a link to buy it yet. Expansys has blue and white...... Yuck..

I think the case of expansys is sleek. It's not making the note any thicker.
Hope they got variety of colors though..
samsung flipover
Samsung will come with a flipover, the back of the flipover will replace the original back of the note. So the note will only become a few mm thicker
I'm also looking to get the Samsung flipover cover when it becomes available. The only problem is the side of the Note remains unprotected, I'm thinking getting a gel case and trim off the left hand side so it will fit togther with the flipover cover.
Meanwhile, here is a really nice durable skin that is already available on Amazon I have used the Skinomi on my previous phones and it covers the phone nicely. All the cutouts are aligned and it barely feels like there is anything on it. Btw, the carbon fiber look makes it look really mean and clean. oh another thing, it's lifetime warranty too.

How does the screen protector feel? I know the Skinomi's tablet protector feels rubbery.

The carbon fibre film must just be 3m di-noc carbon fibre, can be had much cheaper on Ebay and you can just custom cut it to any device.
I wont be sludging up my screen with a screen protector

yup....looking for the same but no luck.
The flip cover is not practical IMHO esp when making calls.
I always used to get hard crystal clear cases such as
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Clear-Cry..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3f0fa5fde0
for my phones.
But lately ive really liked the TPU gel case with stand, such as:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-TPU...204593?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0db99071
Which is just like the case in the OP really
The stand is surprisingly useful!

Everyone who doesn't need the case right away, wait til piel frama comes out with a imagnum type of case. This case is expensive but it protects your device against any earthquake you throw at it. I have one for my hd2 and getting one for the note cause my hd2 is still like new. You can put in your e-mail and they'll let you know when it's there to buy. Here's the link

If they release a case like this for the Note I think it might be worth a try. The kickstand could be useful.

I really like my reveal case so far; except it seems like a really tight fit for the phone. Wish I would have realized that the Griffin site had them $10 cheaper than Motorola and in multiple colors.
Any pictures of the Reveal docked with the desk or car docks?
I bought one of these on ebay. I took your word for it. If it's junk I'll send you the bill. Haha just kidding. It looks pretty sweet. I hate cases, but this one looks like one I can live with.

I have an O'Box Commuter and am receiving a Reveal and the official car dock today. I will take pictures of the phone with both cases in the dock (assuming they both fit).
I got my Reveal case a couple days ago and I have to admit, I really like it! I bought a case from Motorola. A clear snap on hard case and took it off right away. I also got a Bear Motion case on Amazon that I never used. This reveal case has stayed on since I got it! The blue matches perfectly with the royal blue back of my phone. Thanks guys for the recommendation on this case.
just got my reveal today.
really nice case!!
cost $20 on ebay, which is not really cheap for a case. but i had a cheapo "cimo s-line" on my phone before that that cost me like $3-4. this is much nicer looking, the buttons click better and its actually feels slightly smaller in hand. it really is a small case.
i think its worth it, feels a little better and looks much nicer (the s-line case looked terrible). given im a klutz who manages to knock my phone off a table or something nearly every day it seems like a case was needed. (probably dropped my moto x like 4-5 times this week...)
fit and finish on the reveal is perfect. some part of me wishes i had a phone that wasnt just black weave now, to show off with the see through part.
i do have to say one thing.
this case the clear part scratches up really easily. i put the phone + case my desk plastic side down and there were a ton of fine scratches. tried to polish them out with some meguirs plastx that i had (works great on car dash guages by the way) and it made even more. yes its a case, and its made to be scratched, but be aware the ones wth these hard plastic finishes seem to scratch up quick

Yeah, mine is all scratched up too but it's because it gets tossed in my tool bag. I'd rather the case get scratched than my phone!
Anyone tried casemate's naked tough case? Is this pretty much the same one

The power support aire jacket case has some self healing coating on it that seems to not scratch as easy as the Griffin. I have both and the air jacket is higher quality. My reveal came in the box with lots of scratches straight from Motorola.

I have a krusell on order at the moment. Will post here with impressions when i get it.
It seemed to be about the best available. There isnt much available for the HTC one. Its a very good phone, but i'm not sure that the sales have been enough for makers like Ballistic or Otterbox to do versions of their premium water resistant cases for it.
I think due to the front speakers, It's really hard for them to make some waterproof/resistant cases.......

You would be more happy buying a camera actually meant for this. You can find a waterproof Olympus that takes better pics than the phone for $80-100 on Amazon, or an even better used one on eBay.
Just had krusell case delivered.
Looks nice, But, in the case you can press the volume or on/off button.
Am going to use the Team 7 Kernel that has Flick to Wake and see how things go.

I was really keen on this at one stage. Then Choice Magazine (in Australia) did a review. Lost interest pretty fast at that point.
Its actually not a spray. Apparently they put the phone in a chamber, introduce a vapor , and rack up the temp.
Actually, given the HTC One doesn't come apart i dont think it would be do-able.

Its at work at the moment and i'm not there till thursday, but will try and remember.
Having had it now, i'm actually a bit disappointed. I'm sure its waterproof, but the design with the locking "ring halves" means that side buttons are very hard to access. Having had it in hand it doesn't actually seem to be any better protection than one of the waterproof "bag" style cases like Dicapac and makes the side buttons less accessible than on one of those.
Also, in a larger bag style i would be able to use the normal, drop resistant hard shell case as well.
That said, the touch screen in the krusell works ok, and sound through the silicon is fine. Photos through the clear section on the back are ok, but noticeably worse than out of the case.

The rain/wind resistance listed on their website is conspicuously absent from the packaging the One's case comes in. On the plus side, it does feel like it would survive a throw from a moving vehicle now. The UAG though much prettier, smaller and lighter seems almost flimsy in comparison to this tank of a case.
Got my silver aluminum bumper from AliExpress today and it looks great for the price. When I came back from lunch with my boss, this thing was waiting for me in my mail box. It was extremely well packaged from China and you can tell the package was beat up in it's week's journey. Shipping to me in TX from China only took a week and that is extremely fast for me. I was expecting a two week delivery time.
To the case: To quell any questions on call quality; I have placed one call with the bumper on since I installed it. And it works. No noticeable drops that I can initially tell. I'll update if anything changes.
My bumper came with a generic N5 screen protector, which I will not use, because I already have a spigen one installed. I proceeded in taking the included bag which had a philips type of screw driver and upon further inspection, the bag also have a few spare screws, which is always welcomed IMO.
I removed my tpu bumper and slapped this one on immediately. I first came across the bumper looking like it may not fit due to my dbrand cf skin. Being a bit thick, I was a bit worried. But with a little more wrapping the case closer to the outer bezel, the screw openings aligned up better than before. The reason is because of the little foam pads on the interior. Once you work it down a bit, you should be able to screw in the teeeny tiny screws with the included screwdriver.
Will it work on my orb charger? Yes! It holds up as I thought it would.
Does the little screw tab that reminds me of Florida really bad looking? No, when looking at the phone at its entirety, I honestly can say, I like it.
Does it protect the back camera? Uhhhh that's a no. There are ridges on the bottom of the micro USB port and where the headphone port is, but it is not enough to keep the camera lens to sit on the table. This will detract quite a few people. But keep in mind, this is a MINIMALIST case, not a Seidio or Otterbox or whatever bomb proof case that's out there now lol. All the openings are nice and big, except for the headphone port. If you have anything like a Shure E215 plug, you will need to use an adapter to extend the port or use another headset/headphone all together. Another issue, I kinda dislike is the opening for the power button. You have to really search for the button because of it being a cut out compared to buttons on top. I just got to get used to that feeling.
However saying that, I am 100% comfortable placing my phone flat down because I have a dbrand carbon fiber skin on my Nexus 5 backside.
Another bonus is that this aluminum bumper fits in my Seidio Dilex Holster for the Nexus 5 without any issue. The little tab on the bottom plays nice and I am one happy camper. :highfive:
Do I recommend this? For now I say yes aesthetic wise. Everything seems to work thus far so I really don't have anything too bad to say about it.
Pros:
It's thin
Aluminum color is sleek and sexy with my cf white dbrands skin
Ok with wireless charging orb (will test out Tylt Vu later on as well as the Nexus Wireless charger in my truck)
Cons:
It's thin
This bumper will not protect the camera lens when laying it on it's backside.
The lil "Florida" tab where the screws are. Even though not a dealbreaker for me, it's still a slight 'con' in my book.

Could you take a photo of the hole for the headphone jack when the case is on the Nexus 5 or measure the diameter of the hole?

No it doesn't seem to scratch or do anything to the screen. I have a Spigen protector on it and the bumper did not peel it up. I was more worried about the dbrand backing.

Yes I have used the Nexus wireless charger. I have it installed in my truck in conjunction of a Kenu Airframe that mounts to the vents. It clears Kenu Airframe so that the magnets can catch without much issue. And bumpy Texas roads and highways are no match thus far. But don't go off roading lol.

Not too good with measurements with that size, I'll try lol. To me and my ruler, it looks like 6mm? I'll attach a pic.
Reporting on a half day of full use of the Aluminum bumper. I really do like the look of it and fits in my Seidio Dilex holster securely. However, I have to report in that if one has a dbrands back like me, I have a white carbon fiber back, it may bubble up a bit depending on how you put on your back and if you used a blow dryer on the edges like dbrand suggested. I did do that, but I did find a slight bubble/rise on the corner where the screws go in. Also, you can see that the bumper does not fully wrap around like a tpu would because, this is really not that flexible. I'll post some pics and hopefully you can see what my OCD eyes can see. As for the lil bubble, I'll need to do a follow up blow dryer event when I go home for lunch and see if that makes it go away or not. Not really all concerned with the bubble, I can hardly see it and I can learn to live with it if it doesn't go away lol.
looks great!! but in the back is a bit to thin imho

I agree, but I am ok with it. I mean if it was naked it would have the same issue. However the dbrand back is protecting it from scratches so I am ok with that.Drop protection, I don't know, even though the box does mention drop protection on corners lol.
Can you comment on your cellular connection with it on.
Have you done any speed tests with and without it.
I mentioned in another thread that I had one on an iPhone and it did not do well, but the iPhone antenna is around the device, different than the Nex 5.

No I haven't done speedtests on it. But I am getting full bars LTE right outside my office, which is pretty much on par with what I normally get. I have to admit, I do think it affects the antenna slightly, but not to the point of dropped calls. However, I do not have anything to back up this theory.
I'll report back later on to see if my wife said she called me and I didn't answer or what have you.
can you do a signal test w/o case and w/ case?

Because you asked and I don't feel like working on my next project right now lol...
Without the bumper on, the phone went to lowest LTE at -112dBm
With bumper on, the phone went to H and jumps here and there, but didn't stick and settled on 3g (or UMTS) at -101dBm.
So my initial feelings are correct that it does hinder reception but I am still connected. Well in the office anyway. But I used my phone at lunch with co workers without issue. I was getting emails and notifications while I was out.
unfortunately, I barely get signal in my office so I can't really get this :/ I wish there was a good looking bumper that has same look/feel as this one but made of a different material that would not jeopardize the signal quality.

No not so much, but after my first Seidio Holster broke, I have been running it naked and got used to its slim design. This was minimal bulk that still showed off the back dbrand skin goodness and also helps with any corner bumps. Which I have to say it did do its job the other day when I knocked it off my charger in my truck.

It seems such a sin to put something so bulky on a phone that's been engineered to be light, thin and tough. I'll probably just opt for something that keeps the camera window and screen off of surfaces when laid on their respective sides.

i always run a defender once they're available, so im used to them. i even liked the one on the note 7 as well. if i didnt have a bulkier case i'd probably trash a phone within a few weeks.
Giving the so call "military grade" design I say get a basic case or if lifeproof make one get that. Everyone have their choice though so ehh lol otter box will make it bigger to an already big phone...

sorry for the delay. moving sucks.
Thanks for the pictures.
I picked up my phone today and got the defender as well. This is probably the hardest defender to remove. I nearly ripped off multiple fingernails. Can't wait for a decent tempered glass so can rip this crappy plastic out.

No problem. I feel your pain I went through the same thing 3 years ago, seems like you'll never be done.

I'm going to pick up the defender today as well. How is the built in protector compared to previous defender cases? I used to always use them but eventually moved away. I never liked how it seemed to have a gap against the screen, has that changed?

This one seems to fit pretty tight with no gap and no extract tapping sound whenever you tap the screen. I'm having absolutely no issue with this 1
Yeah, mines fits crazy snug and once it gets some hand oil on it glides just as good as the glass.

It's not too bad, but it's still the same crappy plastic. I can't wait for a good tempered glass.

I'm waiting for the zerolemon case and hoping for at least 9k mah. But looks like they don't make full cases anymore so will have to see if a tempered can fit under it. My Note 3 10k mah one works with my tempered.

I picked up the defender yesterday. I was initially impressed, they have really improved the built in screen protector from what I remember. The outer shell is also improved, it doesn't seem as "rubbery" as before...
I think I am going to return it though. It seems just too large and it feels slightly more difficult to unlock with the fingerprint reader.
I will likely just go with the Ole' Bessy, shell holster case and a good screen protector.

Great pictures of both of the phones, specifically the LG v20.
I still miss my note 7, **** we were all spoiled by it haha.
Anywho, I got the LG V20 and have been going through cases left and right trying to decide which one to put on. I stopped on the VRS design with kick stand. However, it is kinda slippery and I do not like that. Additionally, I am still trying to find a screen protector (preferably tempered glass one), but the ones I installed do not adhere to the very bottom and very top. I do not know why, but probably due to slight curvature of the screen.
I have the Poetic Case with the built in screen protector, and it really reminds me of the otter box but like 3 times cheaper . However, the other box seems nicer, but just a bit bigger.
I noticed the screen proctor, has a minor gap when touching the screen. Does the otterbox have that gap as well or it fits almost as nicely as a regular screen protector would?
I have installed a wet application screen protector yesterday, it adhered nicely but I see minor bubbles a little below the center of the screen which is annoying. I am not sure if they will go away or not.
