Anyone have experience with these? No one on ebay is answering my questions about thickness, etc.
The design of the protective plastic is aesthetically pleasing to me.
I'm hesitant to buy a skin because the MTS is pretty damn big inside my pockets to begin with.
They offer different colors as well. (Plastic/Silicone)
Black/Black White/Black Black/White Red/Black Pink/White
hmm, I have this case and have had really good experiences with it (as opposed to the generic hard rubber plastic cases on ebay). I noticed that the tabs are much thicker and stronger on this case which makes the sliding mechanism a bit more stuff than the other case, but other than that, both pieces have stayed on VERY well for it and never came off. I've dropped it a few times as well and the tabs never failed.
I would probably bet that this is the best case right now until the otterbox case comes out. From what I read on these forums, the bodyglove cases have weak tabs that break easily when the phone is dropped.

How thick does it get in your pocket compared to the other hard plastic cases? About the same?
Try the body glove case without the kickstand, front plate and back plate is secured really good. Its only like 10 bucks on ebay.

It's not too thick at all. I would say about the same as the generic hard rubber plastic cases on ebay.
It is well good, but fast peeling.
Beware of the cheap eBay cases. I've tried several styles and one has basically ruined the painted trim on one of our NTs. Ironically the cheaper one with the elastic straps causes the least amount (no) damage while the ones with the "leather" frame-type holder has rubbed off or damaged the trim on another of our NTs. The elastic straps also do a better job of holding the NT since the "leather" trim ones has begun to stretch and allow the tablet to slide around.
Could you post a pictures?
I got a Moko Folio case off amazon that did something similar. It put dyed black dots all over where the felt-ish backing touched the nook. My fix was to put a skinomi on so the dots would not get worse but I am still disappointed.
yea i bought one of those cheap cases on ebay for like 18 bucks. i am starting to see some leather stains on my NT... any ideas on how to get rid of them? i already tried rubbing alcohol which didn't work, my next idea is to use vinegar...

I bought a cheap silicone sleeve and cheap neoprene soft case. I'm going to try them out tonight and update my thread afterwards as to how they work.

I'm hoping it's just the color from the cover but I tried to clean it off and it didn't work.
Sorry it took so long, but here are the pics - excuse the dirty screen - seems like the screen savers smear up more that the unprotected screen:

You can try oxalic acid containing products ("Barkeeper's Friend") and if that doesn't work it's pretty permanent. It's stronger than vinegar but it's the same idea; it should be safe on plastics. This is assuming it IS a stain and not rubbed off (the above looks rubbed off).

I bought the same case in those pics and took the same cornholing . I tried all kinds of stuff to clean it and stopped just short of acetone. Right now my nt has a Skinomi skin on it, but when that eventually gets scuffed up and removed, I'll try that barkeeper's friend suggestion.

The same thing happened to me.
I bought cheap "leather" case from ebay. After I noticed this thread I checked my Nook and it has these marks
It is a first time a have such issues with cheap ebay cases.
It looks like it is a stain not a rubbing off of nook plastic.
Probably it is a black dye from fake suede used as liner migrated to the nook plastic.
Plastic used in Nook definitely is a factor.
I wish I noticed this thread before I used the case. I ordered new one from BN.
I would greatly appreciate if somebody shares a way to remove these marks.
try the speck fitfolio, picked mine up from amazon. works pretty good, doesn't cover the front and it has a soft suede backing so no problems with scuffs
Has anyone tried those types of cases that have fabric (rather leather/"suede") inner backing?
Let us know if they do come off. I have noticed some slight staining on mine and am probably going to buy a more fabric based case.
TBH it doesn't bother me too much since I mine is almost always in a case. I get nervous when it's not.
I got my case (actually, one of those things that make your tablet look like a book) from B&N for $19 on sale. It works perfectly and gets a lot of compliments. I wouldn't get those cheap eBay ones...
I was really close to buying one of the Moko until I saw that Snugg made a case for the Nook. I'm glad I did after seeing this thread. The Snugg case is great and hasn't stained my tablet.

News flash: Cheap chinese knock offs causing damage. News at 11.
Judging from the pics it looks more like rub off then residue. But knowing they used the lowest grade materials I wouldn't it put the idea of cheap ink soaking into the rubber plastic of the NT case either. Good call on the bartenders friend. That stuff has saved me in the past. As has the Mr. Clean Magic Eraser.
I would not use goo gone though. I've had that crap destroy plastics in the past.
I do hope you guys are able to get your nooks looking good again. I know I love keeping mine in pristine condition and would be pretty upset if something bad happened to mar it's surfaces.
You're better off buying the covers from BN.
I didnt buy the cheap leather chinese case from ebay becuase it was cheap, I liked it cuz it had the ability to fold into a stand. The barnes cases dont have that, but I severely regret not having bought one now.

You should have searched a little more. At $40 and free shipping after a promo code, this was worth every penny.

I like it, but its bulky looking, I like cases that don't add bulk.
Ill probably get the black silicone case from B&N, since its the only one I like that covers up the scuffs left by the ****ty ebay case. Im willing to try drops of acetone with cotton swabs, worst case scenario, ill pull the thing apart, and paint the bezel.

It's not actually that bulky. The covers are really thin and are made of an almost rubber material. The flaps fold back and are held together by magnets inside.
It was a really good idea from Barnes and Noble if you ask me. Perfect for working out of my e-book textbooks during class.
I bought one of these in white and it's a soft silicone rubber. The color is a somewhat transparent white, think of very watered down milk. I imagine it will be a bit of a pain going in-n-out of jeans pockets as it's soft and grippy and I imagine it will come off the phone rather easily during the process. I haven't tried it with jeans yet, but that's my impression. The case does come up and over the edge of the glass screen, so the screen is protected somewhat when the phone is placed face down on a flat surface. I don't think I'd recommend it, but it was less than $2.
P.S. Well it goes in-n-out of pockets ok, but the way the on/off and volume buttons are configured on this case, makes them far to easy to accidentally get pressed.
I also bought one of these in white, and it's a nice firm but flexible, TPU material. The color is a true white and fully opaque. It fits the phone nicely, and the holes all line up well. There may be a problem with the Headphone jack, as the hole is the same size as the hole in the phone and the plug may not fully seat, though the cheap headphones I have here at my office worked fine. Also it is somewhat evident where the mold comes together as there is a little bit of flash at the seam. The case does come up and over the edge of the glass screen, so the screen is protected somewhat when the phone is placed face down on a flat surface. All in all a pretty nice case for $4.
I also got a clear S-Line type TPU case from this guy for $1.99 delivered. Both form and function are just fine. It's a bit thicker than the other two, Has some grippy texture along the sides of the long edges. All in all another decent option.
Well I got 2 Mercury Jelly cases from this guy on ebay, not bad for $7.88 each delivered, but I did find them just a little cheaper the other day. The cases are nice, I got 1 white and 1 black. The white case is a bit of a warm white, not cool and bright. The black case is a deep dark black, and it shows finger prints very easily. All the openings line-up well and they seem just a bit over-sized, this will make plugging in the micro USB, and headphone plug simple and they're sure to get fully inserted without any interference from the case. There is a little flash from the molding process present, but nothing crazy. Nice cases, but I'm not sure they're worth nearly twice the price of the second case mentioned in my first post, which really is very similar to these.

Thanks I ordered one black and white a couple of days ago. Thanks for the review.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)
OK, new case arrived today. This Plastic Case/Holster/Kickstand, for under $9 delivered, is of decent quality with a nice satin texture and feel. The snap-on back cover is typical of the plastic snap-on hard covers, in that the top and bottom ends of the phone are not really covered. It goes on and off the phone securely but without any difficulty. The holster will accommodate the Note in a basic TPU case as well as the delivered hard case, and probably other hard snap-on backs as well. The phone can go into the holster either face-in for protection, or face-out so the holster can function as a stand for watching movies etc. Not sure I'd recommend the holster for someone who is very active though. When I hold it with the unclipped side down, and give it a good shake, the phone will begin to slide out of the holster, but for regular walking around I think you're plenty safe. Over all a nice buy for the $
Another new case arrived today. This time a basic S-Line style TPU case in white (a nice bright crisp white), $2.95 delivered. This one is different from the clear S-Line I purchased earlier, it's a bit thinner, and the mold seems a little sharper, more defined. Installation and removal is firm, but not difficult, and the overall fit is nice and snug. All the openings clear the ports, but some of them aren't centered well (camera lense, flash, S-Pen), and that lowers the sense of quality of the case. Over all a nice buy for $2.95
So I picked up 3 of the Cruzer Lite Androidified cases from Amazon. They are running a promotion so the 3 cases cost me $19.80 or $6.60 each I got white, yellow, and clear green. The clear green is probably the coolest looking, as Andi really pops nicely. The yellow is a bit drab, kind of NYC Taxi yellow, not as bright as I'd hoped, the white is also not a bright white but a bit warm in tone. These are probably the tightest fitting TPU cases I've gotten so far. I'm not worried about damaging anything taking them on or off, but they're very snug fitting. They come up and over the screen glass slightly so offer that protection. I also like the fact that there is an extra little bit of TPU over the one corner that many cases leave fully open for an antenna on some versions of the note, offering 4 corner drop protection. The only criticism I can offer is that in general, the openings don't line-up perfectly. Nothing is blocked, but the buttons/ports aren't centered in the openings. A small quibble, true, but for a case that lists for $19.99 I'd expect better.
Well, I've got an update on the Mercury case. The inevitable has happened, my Note slipped from my hand while I was getting into my car and it hit the pavement. Of course, the first part to touch the asphalt was the corner that is open for the antenna on the Euro Notes. The damage isn't bad, not even visible with the case on it, but there is a small scratch/ding in the plastic bezel that surrounds the screen and a small scratch on the chrome where it meets the bezel, so I may stop using the Mercury case. It's a shame, because the Mercury has, in my opinion, the highest quality look and feel of all the TPU cases I've tried.
What are you guys/gals using to protect your P769?
I am looking for a Gel/TPU and/or an ultra thin snap on back, like casemate barely there or incipio feather type..
I am surprised there aren't any of the popular Korean brands..
well im using the 100% leather handmade in Korea white coloured flip case that i got free with my lg l9.( the same had cost 6-8$ and of cheap build) and it protects my phone quite well..also our phone is soo slick and backcover soo much eager to be breakable.i think its the best protection till now..
This is what i'm rocking, LG OPTIMUS L9 P769 CASE BLACK HYBRID KICKSTAND ARMOR SKIN COVER
It's a bit bulky, but hey the cells not going to mess up if you drop it. it's two parts, a gel and a hard case (the kickstand) goes over it.
Mine has been naked lately. The gel case I bought on amazon obstructed the edges of the screen making games and stuff hard.

I usually like Pleomax or Mercury Pearl Gel/candy/TPU. Lately though most of these have too much lip and cause the edges of wet application screen protectors bubble/curl and lift it..
I ordered this one yesterday; http://www.ebay.com/itm/171015823911
I am seriously looking at this and it's color variations. Love them on the AU/Sony Xperia, japanese quaility/versions.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/251207382725
didnt any of u guys got the free cover...its like a hard case that fits from the back cover side( makes the phone feel like a rock) and a really high quality leather casing glued tp it from the back..which covers the 4.7 inch screen qiute well..if u want i may add photos..
I am using the kickstand as well! definitely bulky, but love the kickstand!!

So I installed this one today, fits well tight, cut outs perfect.Solid feel, adds lip to screen, but isn't "really" curling my screen protector. I can compare it's stiffness and feel to a diztronic tpu.
It's slim, but still not as slim as I would like. I prefer the lip were less or it had none. It's good for people that place the phone face down I suppose. I just like the gel/candy/tpu or hard snapon back just for scratches mainly..
I will be ordering some of the other candy/gel/tpu and chiming in as I get them.
I have been using a Hybrid case since i purchased my phone (P769)
This case is different and better looking than the one mentioned earlier. (IMO)
I own both a white one and black one. It has a kickstand as well. I have dropped my phone about 3 or 4 times and my phone has not received any damage what so ever! (Twice on concrete/pavement after stepping out my car, once in the bathroom tile floor and once on wood flooring)
Black one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/300882491887?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
White one
http://www.ebay.com/itm/181080485491?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Bought the white one first, but started turning yellowish after about 2 months of use. (Might not happen if you are a very clean person, but just like white T-Shirts it will turn ugly white/yellowish regardless. Purchased the black one and it's my daily driver. Highly recommend the black one and it's about half the price of the white one.
Pros: Silicon inner case is great for absorbing the shock if dropped. Outer hard plastic case makes it easy to put in and pull out off your pockets. Volume/Power buttons are silicon covered and give it a fantastic feel when pressed. The silicon cut-out around the 3.5 mm headphone jack is nice and wide which allows my car stereo cable to fit without obstructing the connection. (Common problem that i had with other phone cases on other phones i have owned)
Cons: Not much of a con, but only issue i had was with the silicon being a bit tight around the charger port (Solution: Started using OEM Samsung Galaxy S2/S3 micro usb cable that is way thinner than the original micro usb cable. Fits perfect! (I blame the bulky LG micro usb cable though)
Hit thanks if this helped in making your decision on what case to get.
The Body Glove case http://www.wirelessground.com/lg-optimus-l9-body-glove-elite-stand-case-black.html is by far the best case imo. It gives great protection and give u a unrestricted view of the screen plus it has a built in kickstand that works great in portrait and landscape mode. The majority of the retailers including T-Mobile have it for $30 but wirelessground.com has it for $17.95 plus you can use the "youtube" coupon code for an extra 10% off.

Hey fellas!
I am looking for a premium looking case for my nexus 6.
My phone is white if it matters.
I did like a lot the Nilkin slim border, but its out of stock everywhere.
Also i have found this:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Luxury-Sli...hash=item41939eb983:m:m2afeTHn0qE_nI9hygZ9iVg
Black aluminum borders.
Besides that, im looking for something that will give me a nice grip yet still make the phone look elegant and aesthetic.
Thanks!
I have that. It looks okay, but the quality is crap. I got rid of it right away.
My favorite Nexus 6 case is this one:
Ringke FUSION [Dust Cap/Drop Protection][CLEAR] Shock Absorption Bumper. (Available on Amazon)
It adds minimal bulk and fits like a glove.
I bought this case about 6mo ago, and have been very happy with it: https://www.ebay.com/itm/152687543728 (Not affiliated with the seller, just a happy customer)
Back is a clear, hard plastic (poly-carbonate?) and the "lip" is a firm TPU-type material. I've dropped it dozens of times with zero problems.
I've used the "S-shape" type cases for other phones in the past. A simpler, less "high-end" look, but they have tiny little "nubs" at the edges that give excellent grip. (Zoom in on pics to see):

I have this Ringke also and it is a good case, but I wouldn't consider it premium. It does provide adequate protection for minor bumps and falls. It has a large enough lip that my tempered glass screen protector doesn't scratch if I place the phone face-down on a table. The clear TPU yellows over time so it looks dingy though. Depending on how frequently you charge or use a headset, the dust caps can be annoying (of course they are easy to snip off the case if you like.)
Overall it is a very good case and the one I use most of the time, but particularly because of the yellowing of the clear plastic, I can't consider it a premium case.
I use a Spigen slim armor. Very nice looking and protects well. I had together it directly from Spigen though. I tried ordering one from a discounter and they send me a fake. It literally didn't even look like the real thing and lacked the kick stand and didn't even fit properly. They just printed Spigen on some random vaguly similar case and tried to pass it off.
Have had a number of cases over the years and I'm none rival the quality, feel, build, and just plain sexiness of the Seidio Dilex Pro. I'm the best kickstand case as the kickstand itself is metal as well as magnetic, it's also very sturdy. I went thru 2 Spigen Slim Armor kickstand cases after the plastic kickstands broke off then I discovered this beauty lol. Also rocking a Dbrand skin and no problems with the fit. Also the feel of the outside lip is great, more than enough to sit it face down, but formed and angled perfectly as to not in any way hinder using the screen. Seidio is also a big name company so the price is higher @ $29.99, over your run of the mill ebay cases, but as the famous saying goes, you get what you pay for lol.
https://www.amazon.com/Seidio-DILEX-Metal-Kickstand-Motorola/dp/B00S6TA3RW
Also might add that the way the metal kickstand is attached the area is flat which means sitting it on a table it will stay put instead of rocking back and forth lol. The butter shell of the 2 pieces is also covered (or made?) out of something that is pretty grippy, no slick plastic or rubbery TPU to deal with, using it for over a year in construction sites, factories, and other outdoor/dirty jobs it doesn't hold dirt or sweaty skin oils compared to others I've used, I wash mine bout once a month in hot water with dish soap and no warping, deforming, or most of all, fading, still black as the day I got it. And one last awesome thing that's soo small to be easily looked over but makes a huge difference when case makers don't do it is the side buttons, each one is individual, precision molded, and have a very satisfying feel when depressing them. It may be a tad bigger compared to bumpers or extremely thin shell cases which are barely a step up over a full Dbrand or (can't remember the other skin company) skin lol, I found myself loving the size, it's not full on OtterBox, but it still is thin enough to let me use it one handed which is whenever I'm doing anything but typing lol.
::Edit:: Oh yea, it comes in Black, Blue, Red, and White. Seidio also makes a Surface case with the metal kickstand as well and I'm sure it's just as high quality of a product I have not tried it myself and cannot attest to it's build, here is an Amazon listing tho if you would like to see it, it is one that includes a belt holster tho there are listings without the holster for cheaper.
