This is the case I went with. I haven't received it yet.
Nice, I actually bought the same one a few days ago and it should be arriving today. I actually bought about 3 cases (this being the main one I wanted) since I have two LG G6 phones. I always buy one to use immediately and one for backup. They phone didn't come with a charging pad, as expected, so I also bought one of those as well.
This phone feels so much more comfortable to use with a case finally on it. I will end up buying one or more cases as well as a couple of more charging cables.
I like the carbon on that case but went with spogen thin armor and it's got same carbon look. LOVE the phone with the case on it. Wish could find a clear case to show off the back quality and platinum color.

Well as you can see from my Signature I am kind of a accessory freak. I ordered several new cases, and screen protector, and a few of them are coming today. I will review as they come in. I ordered a Black, a Blue, and a Red Poetic Leather Stand Cases. I loved the one I got for my Galaxy Tab that I knew I wanted one (or more) of the same case for my Fire, and since they come on several color options I couldnt resist.
I also ordered a Black MiniSuit TPU , and a White BlueCell TPU . All 3 of the Poetic cases are coming today so I will most likely review them later today.
Ok, a little later than I had mentioned, but never the less heres a short review of the Poetic Leather Cases, and the White TPU, the 2nd black TPU (Minisuit) comes later today.
Poetic Leather Cases: All 3 of the stand cases are the same except for the color (Black, Red, and Blue), so Ill just review one and post pics for all of them. The fit is perfect, holds the Fire in place very well, and the hook that keeps it closed is very secure. There are 3 standing positions that you can use, and they are all in landscape. This isnt one of the 360 degree kind that will work in portrait also. All of the ports are easily accessed, and just like on my Gtab 7.7 only one of the speakers is just slightly covered (see picture #7). The stitching is well done, and the whole case seems very durable so far. I originally bought one of these type for my Gtab 7.7, and liked it so much I bought 3 for my Fire .
Recommended: YES
TPU Cases: I ordered 2 TPU cases recently, and already had one from a previous Fire and so far one fits great, one not so good, and one gets delivered later today. Theres really not a whole lot to say about these because they are pretty simple. But I will post links, and explain which one fits, and which ones dont.
The first one I bought is here. So far its the one I use the most because of how well it fits. Snug like it should be, all ports easily accessed, no blockage.
Recommended: YES
The second one I got is here. This one doesnt fit right. It doesnt seal to the edges like it should, has that slight bulge of the sides, and the usb port cut out is too small. The stock charger usb doesnt go in right when the case is on. Not much else to say on this one.
Recommended: NO
The last one that will arrive later today is here. I have high hopes that this one will fit great because its a Minisuit brand, and Ive got a leather Minisuit Stand case for my Gtab 7.7 that is great. I will update this review soon with the Minisuit Black TPU.
Recommended: TBD
Well since I ran out of room for picture slots in the first post Ill post the Minisuit Black TPU review here.
This one fits a lot better than the white one, but not quite as good as this black one that I had bought for a previous Fire I had. It may just be that its new though and needs to wear in. It just slightly sticks out a little too far on the bottom rather than snugging up to the edge. Now this could be considered good or bad depending on how you look at it. It goes on and comes of easier if your a glass half full type, but if your a glass half empty person than youll notice it. So I guess that explains which one I am. I do like the X pattern on this new one more though. Its a slimmer X, with the rest having a kind of carbon fiber look. Ive got a clear one just like it on my Gtab 7.7 with another set of 6 on the way. $16 for 6 different color TPU cases cannot be beat. I will however have an extra pink one sitting around.
Anyway I highly recommend this case if someones looking for a nice and cheap TPU for their Fire. Pics attached.
case reviews
Hi Gam3r 4 Life,
Thanks for your review. I've just bought a case, but it's a bit bigger than i expected. Even if the size of it, it's hard to switch the KF ON, when it's in the case. Pictures are here.
What i wanted to buy is this one, but unfortunately the seller isn't posting to Hungary.

Your first link didnt work when I tried it. But I agree, the power button is slightly recessed.
case
Picasa 3.9 has some "new" feature...there is no create webalbum button any more. There is a "nice" big gree button for Share....
Anyway here is the direct link for my webalbum about this case:
https://picasaweb.google.com/113442946972614822221/Kfc#slideshow/5734665025626575714
I own this:
amazon.com/Gumdrop-Cases-Series-Protective-Kindle/dp/B006K120UG/ref=sr_1_21?s=fiona-hardware&ie=UTF8&qid=1336054235&sr=1-21
At the time, it only came in Black. Seems to be a couple new colors now. It also came with a screen cover. But I found the cover got much dirtier then the regular kindle screen.
I used a knife to pry off the "plastic" screen, which was just attached with some heavy-duty double sided tape. The case comes in 3 pieces. You can choose to just leave the entire piece off that the plastic screen is attached to. but there is a noticeable gap and its visually unappealing.
Very happy with this. It adds some weight, some size. Oddly enough, the biggest PITA was having to pen the flap for the USB/Power to verify the orange light when loading into FFF. With Hash's new FFF, you get the prompt on the screen .
I had a poetic type case for my transformer prime (Blurex Brand). I picked one of them up for the Fire and it should be here today as well. Only $8.99.

Looks the exact same.
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

Gray X-line that seems to be everywhere on the web

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.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I was going to get the Nilikin case but decide to get this in black instead.

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)
edit: search the popular bidding sight for " Samsung Galaxy Note2 II N7100 2in1 Black TPU Metallic Red Hybrid Case+Screen"
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 just ordered this case :http://tinyurl.com/cbtohpn

both from ebay
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.
Hi, I realy want to buy already a good case for my Nexus 5. I was thinking about Spigen slim armor and a Ballistic SG Maxx (one for daily use and one for harder days), but this buisnes is very expensive.
Now, I understand it worth it, but if I can reduce the price why not to?
I saw this replica on Aliexpress:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/2014...S-5-Champagne-Gold-Hard-Cover/2010438870.html
Does someone use replica? What do you think, should I pay the full price for the originals or those replicas are good enough?
Here is my story about all these cases, so pretty long time ago I brought slim armor for around 8 euros on eBay. But i actually got the real spigen case. Great quality, durability, etc. Just absolutely everything perfect (it is on still on my phone, only problem is that color has scratched off) So i thought i will try that again and i brought spigen neo-hybrid for 10 euros, and i got a Chinese replica. First of all, the rubber was very bad quality, The "metallic" part was some cheap plastic, the buttons didn't work at all, one even fell out of the case, the earphone hole was too small for any-kind of earphones and the charging hole was super small too, only one charger from 10 could fit the hole in the case. Anything that could be wrong, was wrong with the case, except the look of it, prettiest case there is. And i could not purchase the real case because of the small budget i have, i even contacted the seller in order to get the 10 euros back.
So its up to you, but make sure you can get your money back in case something is wrong with the case. If that is not possible, i would not buy a replica case in some shady Chinese site.
Hi,
Just got another m7,but this ones in black,looks like its heavily prone to scratching,a hell of a lot more then the silver one,i knew that anyway but its really easy to do
the m7 is a good looking phone so dont want uglify it with some ebay tpu case or something silly
just looking for a nice slim black case,matte ideally
or the other option a protective skin..all body and screen if its around?
Suggestions welcome lol this will be my first m7 ive had to case but in reality it needs it for the black ones
Diztronic has some pretty nice matte cases
Personally I use a UAG case for its drop protection and slim design
Don't buy a case, buy a pouch if you need to protect your phone.
It's protected completely, so you can toss it in the backpack or wherever, and it's "naked" while in use - best of both worlds.
When I bought my Silver one, i bought it because of its awesome design. Then after about 1 week, fear in me won and I bought 2 cases - Belkin - i don't recommend this one, as it doesn't copy htc one deign very well, next was Incipio Frequency in black color. First month-or two it was ok, but then volume buttons started squeaking when pressed. It just lose it's tightness, and I must say, that i didn't put my phone in and out very often...
Then i bought chaeap PU leather pouch from ebay, which I use till now (10 months). I am even thinking about stop using the pouch as well.
Don't be fool like me, and don't spend money on those ugly cases, don't forget why did you buy this awesome phone, because of design !
Edit: My video of Incipio case squeaking.

Hey, sorry for the late answer.
At the moment I am using this one (black colour):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/11-Color-Ne...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2c8351f9be
The only downside is, that after about 10 months, the corners and edges started "chipping" off the pouch, as it's PU leather. If they were available in my country, I would go either for Bugatti or Sena leather pouches Sena is probably one of the best for M7 (according to reviews). Dad has Bugatti for his Iphone 5s, and it's excelent pouch
I like it might try order one
Hi,
I know you have put ideally UK, I'm from the UK I bought my HTC One M7 Black in November 2014 and the case the previous user was using was a see through gel case, it protected the phone but didn't look good.
Just before xmas I ordered this case:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/UltraThin..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item51c54186c6
Its from hong kong, which I wasn't happy with but there is no UK Seller selling this case. It took just over a week to come but its a top case, protects the phone, feels good in the hand and looks good got a matte black finish.
i use a leather case to protect my htc one m7, but now i looking for a clear case to uncover the gorgeous :fingers-crossed:

Hey, sorry for the late reply. Unfortunately I don't have my digital camera with me to take pictures of it.
It's nothing special but somebody on eBay is selling brand new in package Incipio cases for the G6 for only $2.49. I just got mine in the mail yesterday and it's thin, has good grip, fits perfectly, 3ft drop projection and arrived in 2 days from a US based seller. I think the only color he has available is clear but it looks good imo. I just ordered a second one assuming this one will eventually start yellowing like every other clear case I've ever owned. Nothing spectacular but I thought it was a killer price and wanted to pass it on to anyone looking for a really inexpensive quality case. Here's the link...

Thank you for the heads up. Bought :good:
