Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Case Made By Samsung So Expensive? - General Accessories

Hey Guys,
So I've been searching around the web for a case for my Samsung Galaxy Note II and I came across the one made by Samsung. It seems to me that it's one of those style over functionality products. It's nearly $30-$40 and I'm trying to justify if it makes sense buying it.
Let me know what you guys think!

I was hoping there will be a smart case, whereby each time you flip open the case, the screen will be turned on.

Yeah its kind of like the iPad smart cover... However, less dangerous and more practical...
I found a 50% off accessory coupon code RE167858P. Treated myself to a Note II Case and a 9000MAH Battery Pack!!! $49.99 for a battery backup was a steal!!!
:highfive: :victory: :highfive:

Official accessories almost always very expensive. Companies have very high margins on them, because that's where people will look first to buy. So I would suggest to search for some alternatives from 3rd party companies.

[Q] Did someone try this case?

Heey,
I'm planning to get this case for my new SGSII, but I'm not sure about the build quality and thickness. So I was wondering if someone already have this case and maybe could write something about it.

Hi can you tell me who is making this case. i am always looking for a cool case and i love the clear back panel. can you post the name of the company . I would also like to learn more about this.
Tought bumpers were just for iphone
The case is sold in Netherlands, I don't know if you can find it somewhere else outside my country.
Here is the Ebay site: http://cgi.ebay.com/Protect-Case-Bescherm-Hoesje-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-i9100-/110693610851?_trksid=p3286.m7&_trkparms=algo%3DLVI%26itu%3DUCI%26otn%3D3%26po%3DLVI%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D1005384825492923917#ht_2006wt_1139

I have also seen that MOMAX is selling them on their site. They have 4 different colour combinations, if one can call black and white colors
EDIT: Search for "Momax i Case Pro i9100". You can order direct from their shop or ebay. They are from Hong Kong so expect longer delivery.
I did not tried it but i really like his design.
I have a Momax iCase pro for my vibrant, works great, I like it!
you can get the i9100 one from diygadget.com. they also have the download jig as well.
I have the Momax i Case Pro on my previous Desire HD , quality and cut outs were very good, as its TPU, it will not attract lint as compared to silicon, the joining parts between the plastic backing and TPU is also very good. I just placed an order for my S2.
Hey did you get your momax case? I'm interested, does it fit well? also where did you order it from and how long did it take to get it?
I like this case because unlike all the scp cases, there is no antenna hole, and as i have an international version, its just an extra hole for possible damage.
thanks

[Q] Any good cases w/card slot on back?

I'm looking for something similar to this iPhone case but have had no luck so far.
Has anyone seen anything like this available online?

Whoa, that's a pretty cool case there. I might be interested in one like that too if they ever make one.
I haven't seen any like that but this one comes pretty close:
Yea, here's a sleek one my company makes.

That should fit the gs3 perfectly!
Sent from my MB865 using XDA App
oh... if i could only post links...
anyway, a search on google (search for "galaxy s3 card case"), shows some interesting card cases for the s3. many seem to be more of a wallet (essentially the Samsung flip cover, but with a thicker leatherette cover, and slots for cash/cards in it), that has the s3 on one side, and then money and cards on the other. Nice if you are looking for the function.. but if you want the FORM of the above image.. I got nothing.

Don't really want anything with a flip cover or made of leather. Maybe in 6 months something like this will be available.

"I am sorry but I have no word to give you at this time if and or when we will have what you are requesting.
But please go to our main page and click on FEEDBACK and make a request!
We love to hear your input! The more people who request a certain item or color the more likely it is we will consider making it!

We've had some requests already ;-)"
So maybe we can get people to request it? I'd buy a blue and black one.
Speck should make one. I know Hex has a similar style wallet case, but I don't see any cases for Samsung phones. If you really need a card slot, SGP Folio case might be good for you. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3/samsung-galaxy-s3-leather-case-folio-series.html

Any cases with extended battery?

I would love to get a rugged case with an exteneded battery for my s3 anyone know of any companies making them? I know trident has one cor the droid x but it would be a great addition to the s3
Sent from my Samsung Galaxy S III
the only ones i have been able to find only seem to fit the Hyperion Battery door (and OR any other make thats the same shape).
however it doesn't fit the Battery door that came with my MAX power extended batteries.
the Hyperion case comes in a bunch of colors but its a TPU case, so i wouldn't really consider it a "rugged" solution.
Yea i need a tough case i tend to drop phones and dony feel like pay for the protection plan verizon offers.

Galaxy S4 Best case/cover Thread

I'm curious to see how everyone protects their Galaxy S4 and would love to see photos of your Galaxy S4 in your favorite or best case. Tell us why you chose the case you did, how much you paid.
I am using this case $4.99 set (with Screen Protector and 10 Pack Stylus)
http://www.eeekit.com/eeekit-for-sa...cover-3-pack-screen-protector-10-pack-stylus/
There's a thread in this very subforum about cases entitled:
S4 ACTIVE Cases & Accessories
and you'll find most all of the case discussion there. I use the Unicorn Beetle (yellow/dark grey) myself and chose it because a) it protects about as much of the GS4A as possible without getting in the way of things, and b) the yellow/dark grey color scheme is damned wicked.
Mine is white!
Mine is white and I bought a screen protector and a case for it. I wonder if I can use an external or Bluetooth keyboard for it though. Any idea guys?

Well, an external keyboard (meaning USB) would attach using a proper MHL to USB converter cable so yes that would work, and Bluetooth is wireless so the case wouldn't have anything to do with that (unless it was some kind of RF blocking thing, oddly enough), so yeah it or they should work.
You said "Mine is white" so that most likely means you're referring to the Galaxy S4 - this is the Galaxy S4 Active subforum, a different smartphone altogether (even in spite of sharing a lot of components, the one thing you won't find is a white GS4 Active).
r there any water proof case

Trident is the same way. I love the Aegis case on my S4 and had hoped they'd have one for this tablet. Sadly, no.

It's such a shame. This is a flagship tablet from Samsung. Why not, make it?
Hopefully at least one company makes us a decent ruggedized case for this thing

Agreed. I have a decent leather case now but I would love a more rugged case. Too many exposed parts with my current case.
I would definitely get one if otterbox release a similar one like they released for the original note 10.1.
How are you guys abusing your poor tabs that you need an Otterbox? They add so much bulk.
The only thing I can think of where I'd need one is if I was letting my 4 y.o nephew (AKA BamBam) play with it (think "throw") and there's no way in hell he's coming close to touching my $600 tablet.
Well i dont blame them , samsung tablets/devices , many tablets 10.1 but still not same size , 7.7 7 8 9 etc.
they should do as ipad/iphone , better spec , same size , at least for tablets
how hard it can be !!

Not abuse, just use someplace outside the home/office..
With a defender case on my nexus 7 I can just snap the front cover on and chuck it into my pack full of stuff and not worry about it at all, can't really say that for any lesser level of protection.
