Protective Rubber Gel Back Case for Galaxy Note

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..
Sent from my GT-P1000 using Tapatalk

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.

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.

Guys do you think a leather/cloth Pouch Pull case would be good enough?
E.g: I though I had more posts here. Anw can't post complete link. The below works tho.

I'm considering this one as well. Please post your thoughts when you receive it.

air cooling case for GN. (pic inside)

Actually, I really dont know how to describe such case.
Since there many holes on the back and might be help for to cool down GN.
So I just call it air cooling case.
There're also other kind of case with holes on ebay and taobao. But they are
too rough and too ugly. Usually cost around 3RMB,but u won't want to put it
on your GN which might scratch ur GN.
I bought this one around 10USD. And the color is green with little bit metal
feeling.
The only disadvantage is: It won't fit with 2000mah battery. So u can only use
1750mah battery with it.

looks nice. could you post a link?

Very nice looking mesh case and didn't know they made them. If you're worried about heat i would just undervolt the nexus. But this definitely gives it a unique look.

Black one looks great! Might pick one up... Kinda pricey for a generic though.
Seems cheaper from the company: http://www.anymode.com/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=12347476
But I don't read Korean enough/at all to figure out if they ship to Canada or how to checkout.

Anymode cannot be considered generic

Plenty of cheap ones.
These are called "Mesh snap on" cases.
Here's for the GSM Nexus: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=i9250+mesh&_sacat=0
$1.92
There's no "snap on mesh" cases for the Verizon, they're more fully formed so it's not cheap.
$7-$9 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=i515+mesh&_sacat=0&_odkw=i9250+mesh&_osacat=0

Those are the cheap feeling ones the OP described. I was asking for a link to a cheaper site for the Anymode version the OP recommended. Thanks though!

Nice!

this is not going to cool your phone, you are adding another layer of plastic to trap heat. do you cool yourself by wearing a sweater?

The "air cooling" is just a term to describe this case. Just a comparison
between other TPU or silicon case.
Of course no case is the coolest!

Great case! I ended up getting it from eBay since I can't read Korean/Chinese nor trust signing up with credit card info to foreign websites I don't understand. Nice matte finish on the black one here. Feels solid, snug and good in the hand. The wrap-around to the front leaves just enough of a gap between housing and screen that edge-to-edge screen protectors should work nicely. And the design and materials seem excellent for signal, WiFi and NFC (unlike my last case)! Would definitely buy again.
Very, very pleased... now I just need my Fantom tempered glass screen protector:

Those ones don't really count. The pictures show a full case with the snap on mesh that goes over it. So the mesh on those cases is just for looks.

My issue with these mesh cases is that dust collects in the holes REALLY easily. :\

I use otterbox commuter for the fact that it covers my headphone and charging ports with flaps. i have had more issues with lint getting in those areas with past phones than anything else. it also adds very little bulk, and has two layers. however, if you do not care about your ports being covered, that case you posted looks superb. just will add a bit of bulk to an already large phone. :good:

Shows as fulfilled by Amazon, so it's a good bet.
They also stand behind what they sell.
In all seriousness, you'd be better asking the seller.. The photos aren't large or clear enough for anyone of us to tell, and, are just stock shots, not photos of the actual product.

ELTD® PU Leather Smart Cover Case For LG G Pad 8.3 With Stand Function

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00GPKONYI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Received this case on the first day of the long predicted window for delivery. Although it's marketed as ELTD, the clasp is labelled IVSO. I'm very pleased with the quality of the materials, very good fit with the hard shell, all cutouts in exactly the right place and the foldable cover has a quality feel to it, almost too stiff. Auto-wake and sleep works perfectly, and the magnetic clasp is very strong, no danger of it coming open in your bag. It's a bit tricky to find the right position for the more vertical position, turns out you have to attach the magnetic clasp to the top hinge of the case which keeps the case from lying flat over the speakers. It also needs to be on a flat surface. Can't fault the supplier either, very fast and satisfactory responses to my queries. All in all, highly recommended.

I bought the IVSO version, but it looks like they could be the same case. Mine was delivered today too so hopefully I will be pleased with it too.
Edited to add, I'm very pleased with the IVSO case.
Build quality is great, though the case is quite weighty. The magnets are very good, there's no way the cover will accidentally open.

Yes it's sold as ELTD but the magnetic catch is labelled IVSO.

Excellent - finally, confirmation that this thing does NOT seriously block the speakers in stand mode. Also, that the more vertical stand mode actually works.
I'm gonna wait a few weeks to see if a red version will pop up - but this is a buy for me. Thanks guys for the pictures!

A review on Amazon says it did.

My ivso turned up today, mixed feelings so far.
The case certainly feels strong enough, good fit, but the metal magnetic tag is a little too big for me, it is very close to the screen when closed.
The auto sleep/wake function mode does not work correctly for me, only works when the front cover is folded round the back, no idea why??? But then the function does not work when the pin lock is in use so it is not a deal breaker for me.
The horizontal stand is also a bit hit and miss, often comes loose but i expect the fabric grooves to soften over time and i expect it will work fine.
Speakers are covered with stand horizontal but i did not bother me. Still loud enough.
If anybody wants pics let me know.

I'm looking for a bumper case to show off my skin as well, but I haven't had much luck in finding one. I'm going to keep looking around online, but if anyone knows where to get a bumper case like this, please share!

Settled on this one because no major manufacturers have put one out for the device yet.

Upstate: Received on Sunday from Amazon. I'm ​happy with this case. It does what I wanted, which was protect the front and rear glass areas from contacting surfaces when I put the device down. The raised rubberized black lines keep the phone up away from the clear cover. The holes in the clear cover for USB, mic, stereo jack (bottom), and whatever the tiny hole next to the camera is on the back all line up perfectly. I like the bumpers on the corners too. Hopefully I won't have reason to test them, but they look capable. :good:

Okay so now I'm pissed because my fave case manufacturer UAG came out with a new model for my phone just days after I settled on something less.

Yeah not a bumper case but since I replied to this thread I figured it was the best place to whine about it.

I also picked up this case. It is quite good, nice and slim with solid side grips. Having a clear back allows my Skinnova skin to show through which is cool. It fits tightly around the phone and feels quite sturdy. I'd definitely recommend this if you're looking for something close to a bumper case. I think this might be as close as we're going to get for this device.

i didnt receive my g5+ yet but i found this and i think it looks awesome.

Wow, you found one! This might be the very first bumper case for the Moto G5 Plus. I think I might order it and see how it looks.

Will do! I just ordered it yesterday, the total came out to around $20 USD. It looks like they 3D print the cases individually, so it won't be shipping out until Aug 31st.

I just got the bumper case from Shapeways today. First impressions - it's just ok, nothing spectacular. It feels like a $5 -10 bumper case, not a $20 one. The fit is a bit loose and not as sung as I would like. The grip is really solid though, and I like the texture. Overall I would say this bumper case isn't worth the money. But if you REALLY want a slim case, I would say go for it. I'm not sure if we'll ever get a different bumper case for this phone, so this might be your only option (at least right now).
