I thought i'd ask the AT&T folks, the international forum is too large and impersonal.
Im looking at this one for myself: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Nillkin-Mat...841&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&sd=140855149689&
I got that one in white. Waiting on the Marble White version to be available for AT&T.
The ONE thing nice about not having the phone in hands yet is it has given me time to get some goodies on order with cheap shipping. I have four cases headed my way (yes idle hands). As you will see from my selections, I like cases that are TPU or similar for absorbing shock. I don't like very bulky cases.
Yello TPU from Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009S40MQG/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
Gray X-line that seems to be everywhere on the web
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Gray-X-Line...168197?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2a24a129c5
Then the Flexshield cases. I think one of these will be my everyday case. I couldn't decide between transparent or black so I ordered both. They come from mobilefun.com in the UK and since I had so much time to wait (November 9th or so) I used the cheap $5 shipping and it should be here by then.

I got that nilikin case (I have a tmob with att sim). Its even more slippery than the phone itself which I don't like. It looks good though.

I was going to get the Nilikin case but decide to get this in black instead.
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=110960786397&index=0&nav=SEARCH&nid=19068194779
Still haven't decided if I am getting the Note yet, I have SGS3 and its great, with a nice strong seido case (extended battery active) it isn't too big. I feel like having a big case on the note will be too much. I'm in the army and the SGS3 barely fits in my ankle pockets now, Only option for the Note would be in my cargo pockets and it might break in there...
i am looking into the Nilikin case atleast until there is an otterbox commuter for the note 2
Case I ordered
This is the case I ordered from Korea.
1) some sort of a metallic material bumper case (black)
2) some sort of a metallic material battery cover (black)
and its going to be going on the Titanium Grey colored version of the note 2
by the way the second picture is the metal battery cover by itself.
I got this clear hard shell case at Amazon for $10.99.
Trident. Just have to baby it for a month or so. :good:
Ive got the Nilikin cases in white and black. Not a fan of the texture. But it was the only thing available that was decent at the time. Im waiting for the Elago slim cases to come out which i have on my original Note.
I just ordered this case of ebay, not bad for the price and it looks half decent. I will post pictures once i get it and the phone(still waiting for rogers to ship)

hey guys i got a quick question im currently married to my skyrocket...but im leaving her for this beautful note 2. something i came across that was rather annoying with the skyrocket when it came to cases is that the phone style changed based on the carriers. e.g the speaker orientation on the sgs2 hercules vs the sgs2 skyrocket where different. even tho they are the same phone specs wise. is this the same here since all the cases linked here are for the n7100 and our phones are the n7137m and n7147m or something to that effect thanks for your replies in advance
The note 2 as far as dimensions go are the same across all models. So all cases will work

i also bought the ZAGG body shield
Boxwave case with the integrated stand. I have the black one on my current Note and it works great. The stand isn't super strong (can't expect it to be on a slim plastic case) but it's built well and holds the phone well also.
The case isn't available yet so keeping an eye out.

you can go to the Gmarket (korean ebay) and see more
zenus cases seem to be the dominant galaxy case maker - on ebay do a search for "zenus cases" - have no idea why the seller titled his listings the way he did, but they don't show up under any samsung or samsung galaxy S i9000 search - i've ordered one of the zenus silicone cases
you can also do an ebay search under "samsung vibrant" and it'll pull up entirely different results as well

The only problem with buying the Zenus cases at the moment is that it'll take awhile to ship here since they are coming from South Korea. Some users on MoDaCo report delays in shipping. FYI on the Zenus cases, the hole in the top corner is for their TV antenna. (lucky koreans)
Let me know what your experience is like. I'm debating between getting a Zenus case or waiting for Amzer to release their cases. Amzer's website shows shipping dates in August.
i ordered the zenus silicone (black) and bar type leather case (black n blue). Hopefully they get here realtively soon, but in the meantime i have other leather holster/cases from PDAir to hold me over, so I'm not overly concerned.

yeah the main reason i pulled the trigger (other than that it looks like really good quality and design) is that over on vibrant forum on the official tmo site, they confirmed that dimension wise, our phone is identical to the international version including the back hump, so everything should line up fine as far as most accessories go (car docks, home docks, etc)
I picked up the gel case from T-Mo since they were giving me $40 in accessories. I actually really like the feel of it... It's all black and looks sleek on the phone.
I imagine I'll pick up a seidio SP and call it a day.

fommy.com is beginning to sell more cases for the vibrant but none will ship out until early august.
Im actually very surprised by the Tmo phone case. Normally their cases are very flimsy or poorly made but I went ahead and got this one just for now, but im really diggin it. I think it might just stick with me as long as the phone does..who knows.

Check it out! They are releasing it mid march. Works for the US Verizon version with the extended battery.

It's discounted to $20.80 and free shipping. Comes in three colors right now - Alpine White, Black, and Metallic. I just preordered the metallic being that I have the non Verizon Alpine White version.

Grrrrrr....... and I just bought the Diztronic TPU Version 3 case.
Awesome! I'm torn between the Matte Black or White. I have a Diztronic Glossy Black that I love. I bought a Matte Black and it didn't provide enough grip.
Is the White and Metallic glossy? Last time I bought a Ringke case it was sort of a foam, these seem like a hard plastic. I'd love white but I think it would end up dirty and stained.
Update:
I just bought the Metallic. Everyone says it blends in real well with the original color which is nice because there are spots that the actual phone shows through like on the sides.
Just ordered a metallic. Hope it doesn't suck!
Just ordered the matte black, can't wait for it to get here...

I love it! its great to see manufacturers listen to the customers and give them EXACTLY what they want. I already have 3 cases, but I'm thinking of buying one just to support them.
You really don't see this that much esp since this case will fit the extended AND standard. Great job Rearth!

As long as the case is larger, it should be ok. We're talking about millimeters here. It'll probably fit but have some play which could be corrected if you get creative.
I think they went for it is because Verizon is the only carrier in the US and they had extended batteries from day 1... for 50% off... so most people picked it up. A case that is a tad thicker is better then a case that is too thin.
I want the alpine white case, my only concern is if it starts to stain or discolor only after a few days. Anyone have any opinions on this?

Constantly see "not only about the USA" type stuff, which it's certainly true... But I just had to lol, there are so many more GSM-minded cases than LTE/VZW.

It's not enough to get another case though!

I understand the whole USA vs GSM issue but USA only has LTE models which are different in size anyway from the GSM variant, so GSM snug fitting cases won't work anyway.
So thats a huge chunk of customers they want to account for. LTE specifically, which most of the LTE phones probably have the extended because they were selling them at such a good price.
And yes I bought the Metallic as noted on the first page. Ringke is a great company and I've demoed a few of their products in the past to know they are high quality. I too wanted the white but I've seen lots of "white" cases. I would have also liked a Glossy Black. The matte is nice but actually feels more slippery then the gloss. The gloss has a "sticky" feel that helps keep it in my hands.
The Metallic is supposedly glossy and matches the phone pretty well, according to the GSM thread. We'll see. Can't wait.
Anyone know where this case can be seen in person? I'd like to hold one before I buy it.
I'm really looking for recommendations here as I'm having a hard time finding something good. I just got my wife a galaxy nexus (sprint) and looking for a good case, probably the rubbery kind, but purple or pink or similiar.
Anyone give any links, recommendations or other? Thanks in advance!
ebay, My girlfriend has the verizon gnex and she got one of the cheap cases off ebay, it's translucent purple and pretty thin. I have an otterbox commuter on order for mine. They also make tpu cases and bumpers which can be had for pretty cheap on ebay. I always assume if I buy a case it's going to take some abuse, so I go cheap so I don't spend an arm and a leg to replace it. I went out on a limb with this otterbox case and spent a little more money than I am used to so, we'll see if it pays off. I got the otterbox for work (I work in a dusty environment and I wanted a tight case with some shock protection. I have a TPU bumper for the rest of the time. I've had 4-5 $2 cases in the past two years with my G2 and I don't regret it. You get some duds and you get some that can last 6 months to a year. I order 3 or 4 at a time since they are so cheap.
Thanks. I also just found this, but can't find any reviews on it. Looked really slick with a kickstand too!

At $22.75 and free shipping, this is the lowest price I was able to find. It's out for delivery today, so I'll post a quick review within the next couple of days. I'm currently using a CruzerLite TPU case, as I'm not a big fan of dual layer (i.e., Otterbox, Ballistic, etc.) cases. The PureGear certainly seems like an interesting option.

Thank you! there are virtually no reviews out for this case which one are you getting? if it is the coconut jelly one would you be able to comment on whether the clear back leaves any marks on the back of the s3 (those big bubbles you get when plastic touches something), as postage to the UK takes 30 days your help is really appreciated
I was considering both Coconut Jelly and Black Tea, and ended up going with Black Tea. I know exactly what marks/bubbles you're referring to - my wife is using a CruzerLite translucent green TPU case on her white GS3, and the bubbles on the back are a bit unsightly. I came across a post on a different thread, where it was suggested to spread a small amount of talcum powder inside the case prior to putting it on the phone. Supposedly, it completely eliminates the bubbles.
We sell this case in store at TMobile ... they sell out fast... pretty nice case and a very functional holster
Just seeing if anyone has purchased one of these cases and how they compare to a diztronic or SGP color hybrid.
Thanks,
i wanted to buy this but kinda worry about the grippy rubber will easily get dirt and not washable. Also, how come there is no passion fruit color at all?????
Forget the case, look at the screen protector. Damn genius design...
looks real nice.
I like the Black Tea. Passion Fruit would've been soo much better had it had green trim rather then the blue.
I received my case and am definitely liking it so far, despite a couple of minor imperfections. I'll post a review this weekend, when I have the time to sit down and write one up. All in all, I give the case 8.5/10.
The rubber is hard, not the grippy kind. It doesn't trap dirt at all. The case is far superior to the CruzerLite TPU case that I've been using previously.
@Goobacks:
I agree, the design of the roll-on screen protector is absolutely genius. However, $25 is a bit too hefty.

In the event you come back to this thread, my case is holding up like a champ. They are available on Amazon for around $15 nowadays, and it's definitely worth the money. I got the orange one for my wife, who always keeps her phone in her purse, and the edges accummulated black scuff marks all around the sides of the case. I have the black tea one, and it still looks the same as it did the day I bought it. Then again, I don't have a purse!
Not a bad case not real grippy got the coconut jelly ( clear ) I don't recommend the color it looks like it has 3 cracks ( really small ones ) rite above the 3 slots for camera speaker and flash but not bad for paying 17 bucks with shipping from cell guru

Is it just me or do you guys also spend AGES looking at case after case?
Basically i dropped my phone S3 on Sunday and cracked the screen, today i got it repaired so i now want a case/cover that protects over the edge front of the phone. But i don't to add massive bulk or for it to look too ugly.
Im thinking of getting the Otterbox commuter or the Ballistic lifestyle smooth, which one you guys think would better suit? or is there an alternate case better?
I know its been asked loads so apologies in advance.
Your not the only one. I'm a flashoholic and a caseoholic lol and very very picky with both.
My favorite sk far is the Incipio NGP. I love it. The lip should be plenty to protect from most drops and it adds very little bulk and gives the phone a really high quality feel. The right balance between slippery for pockets and grip for when your holding it.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
My vote goes to the Incipio NGP as well. It is less thick than the GS2 version, but this reduced thickness (0.7mm) makes the phone quite a bit thinner compared to the S2 situation. Feels slick and slides easily out of pockets. Overall one of the best simple TPU cases around, although it is not exactly cheap for just a TPU case.
Naked is best

not due my upgrade yet, still on s2 but been searching for ages for a case to suit my needs when my s3 comes.
the best I think for me so far is the Acase Superlegerra Pro. looks like exactly what I need.
Hard to choose, right? The Paradox of Choice.
I actually bought too many cases (again) because I couldn't decide. Got various TPU cases from ebay, and Cruzerlite, and the popular hard polycarb Rock case, but finally settled on a so-called hybrid case: the Incipio Silicrylic dualpro, as it provides the best protection, grip, and looks, without adding too much bulk.
(Looking forward to Incipio's future cases for the Nexus 7 too)
I was also in search for a case for more than two weeks. At last I settled for Acase Superlegerra Pro. Lot got good reviews and value for money.
Also providing the same level of protection of a Otterbox commuter.
I have looked at reviews and posts (thanks the_Biz) to finally purchase the Case Mate Tough which is presently being delivered by Amazon. My next step is to select a protective screen which I have not decided but it may be the Ultra Crystal for its 4H hardness and compatibility with all cases. Now I am searching for a couple holsters the horizontal and vertical possibly the Reiko and Active holster respectively but I need to review further for quality and compatibility. When all the above is completed I will order the phone and should not worry about cracking the screen like you had experienced
I got the trident ageis and it works pretty well. I always keep my phone in a case but what did I do I took it out to put on a new screen protector and it slipped out of my hand and landed face down. Luckily there was no damage and I put it right back in!

Living in the UK, the main issue I am finding is that you guys in the US get the best cases!!
Yeah I hear ya, but for the moment I'm going with the otterbox commuter case since I have had good experiences with them
Later on next month I'm a customized case mate
I have 5 cases already. The Neo Hybrid in Infinity White, the silver SGP Ultra Thin, the Glacier Otterbox Commuter, a white/ red silicon/hard case from eBay, and a clear case that I got with the phone. And I'm always on the hunt for a good looking case lol

case
Verizon threw in a free case when I upgraded to the S3 which is brilliant because it covers their logo
Slim I'd say reearth slim takes it over case mate barely there. I have both.
I think the seidio active is awesome although for all the case conversations on xda I never see people talk about it for this phone. Definitely better than the spigen lumi for hybrid cases. Again I have both.
And u can get a kickstand on the active if that's how u roll. I did..
Those are the four have bought so far. Problem? Prob..

Is it just me or do you guys also spend AGES looking at case after case?
Basically i dropped my phone S3 on Sunday and cracked the screen, today i got it repaired so i now want a case/cover that protects over the edge front of the phone. But i don't to add massive bulk or for it to look too ugly.
Im thinking of getting the Otterbox commuter or the Ballistic lifestyle smooth, which one you guys think would better suit? or is there an alternate case better?
I know its been asked loads so apologies in advance.

I'd prefer to the frosted clear case cause I don't like my beauty white phone be covered, maybe cimo could be choose.
FYI

I have a Fosmon PC+TPU case and an Otterbox defender. I use my phone all day every day for work and switch my batteries out so I use the Fosmon for everyday work use. It comes off easily and protects the phone from everyday use and is cheap as hell. The clear back is flexible and the grips on the side even more so and hold well so far. You can see through the back if you have white you can see the Samsung S3 logo. The Otterbox is when I finally get the hell out of my house, and it does the job but is a pain in the ass to change batteries compared to the Fosmon. There are plenty of reviews of the Defender so you dont need to hear my 2 cents. I opted to spend more on a beefy case with cheap one for every day, it suites what I need very well and if the Fosmon ats $5.88 lasts 6 months I'll be happy.
