Agreed, but with the 20% discount, it was more manageable, though still expensive.
I "liked" the fb page, how long does the code take and where does it show up?

When you say the black barely there case, do you mean the normal plastic case (This one), or do you mean the AT&T specific brushed aluminum one in black (This one) the OP referred to? I'd like to know, even though Case-Mate might say otherwise, if all the ports, buttons, etc. are accessible in the normal plastic one.
Thanks

Thanks for these but how sturdy does the case feel? My concern is that on case mate's own website there are several complaints about the case cracking on the corners.

case seems fairly sturdy. the Incipio feather on my wifes atrix cracked on one corner (these are similar cases) but that was because of taking it on and off and its stiffer. On this case it seems easier to take off so I dont think it will crack as easily....unless maybe if you drop it alot or something.
Got my case!
I received my Barely There Aluminum today. Fit and finish is great as you can expect from a case that sells for $40! I really like the heft that this case adds to the phone. Without a case, I felt that the S2 was too thin and light. The feel of the plastic bumper is very nice. It feels satiny and "soft". To me, the plastic actually looks like powder coated metal. The aluminum back and chrome trim really makes this case look very classy. The camera opening has a little raised edge around it so when sitting on its back, the lens is protected. There is also a very small raised edge around the screen which will help protect the screen when placed faced down on a table, though dont expect major protection if the phone is dropped faced down and dragged across the floor. I only have 2 concerns: one is that the plastic on the sides does feel slick to the touch and two, the power button is a little hard to press. You really need to use the tip of your finger in order to press power.
This case may not be for everyone since it does leave the top and bottom exposed, but that is to be expected from a "barely there" case. Overall I am very pleased! So pleased in fact that I am thinking about getting the Case-Mate Pop or Tough for times when I need extra protection for the phone.
Umm...pictures?

Do you have any pictures?
Agreed. Pics would be fantastic, especially from a few angles. The ones on the Case-Mate website don't give enough for me to make a decision. Additionally, what parts are plastic? I figured an aluminum case would be.. well.. metal. Is only the back panel metal and the rest is plastic? If so I just don't think I can make myself spend $35-40 on it. :|
Another point of concern for me is that on their website, even though they say US AT&T version of the SGSII (which is the SGH-777 we all have) the pictures are of a GT-i9100. Am I correct in assuming that they're just posting a picture for a different phone but actually make a case for ours?
Question: Do the barely there cases.scratch up the sides? I had a similar case when I owned an iPhone and it scratched the sides where it clipped on to the phone.

Certainly not the only case that doesn't cover the top microphones, someone didn't use the SEARCH button... just thought I'd clear that up so people don't think there's only one case on the market that fits our phone, however hideous or GPS-blocking it may be.

I've been looking for a case for my Slide since I bought it on launch day, and I haven't seen one positive review of a case. The general consensus seems to be any hard-shell case has some sort of tab system holding the two pieces in place, but when you slide the phone open or take the case off it wears down the tabs until they eventually snap off. Every single hard-shell case I've seen reviewed has this issue. All the reviews on xda seem to be cursing the crappy quality of the cases, whether it be from t-mobile or a third party site or ebay. Does anyone have a recommendation for a solid durable case? I can't believe this phone has been out for 2+ months now with not a single good case. Thanks in advance.
I'm still looking for a replacement battery cover. Don't want a full case, and want a cover that is not slick. Not interested in those stick-on things as it adds bulk.
I love the silver case w/ kickstand from t-mobile. Very well made, no problems with it at all.
The kickstand is great for conference calls (don't have to lay the speaker or the mic to the ground) or watching videos.
i like the look of the silver case, but i have a red slide and i don't feel the colors compliment each other very well
if they were to make a black version of that case i'd be all over it.

Thanks! The case looks like a monster but I'm not too worried about bulk since the phone itself is already huge. Also nice to get another one of the t-mo screen protectors that cover the buttons too since I'm worried about getting dust under the screen.
I use the tmobile case also, which is actually made by bodyglove. its worked great for a few months now but I started having issues with it today. by the way it comes with a screen protector.

i have the same case, i dropped mine maybe 2 times with the case on and most of those gay ass tabs broke off, making it useless now cause it wont stay on
Yes tangrams those tabs are horrible. That's the issues I had. After taking it on and off a few times it'll start not wanting to snap completely on. If you are going to root or rom your phone leave it off until your done or you'll be buying a new case. Lack of a good case is what lead me to dump that phone and get a vibrant this past weekend.

I've used 5 cases from PDAIR.com. Aluminum, classic, professional black or white. Hugs the phone as close as a metal case can. They're 20 to 30 dollars but the quality and sturdiness have saved 5 phones from falls that would have easily shattered the screen.
Well worth the money, check them out.

The metal one looks perfect since I don't use the hardware keyboard anymore. Ordering, will review
Me Too! I saw this metal case online.
Does anyone know anything about this case? It's not showing up on the Case-mate website, but they have it here in stock ready to ship. Has a kickstand and I was just wondering if anyone has this or has any more info on it.
19.99 + 3.95 shipping. Not bad. It's selling for 29.95 everywhere else. I'm going to buy it, but I was just hoping that someone that if someone has it I can know what to expect. Thanks guys!
i just saw this yesterday on ebay, but i do not like the front back snap of the case, i bought the $35 Platinum with kickstand from best buy instead. The kickstand isn't the best, but the case slides on top and bottom, much more secure against drops. Plus its the exact case that seidio is going to release, they make the Platinum series for best buy. Doesn't bother me that i can't charge while in kickstand mode, maybe there will be "slim-head" chargers to accommodate for it in the future.
just got in my casemate tough, pop, barely there. pop is easily the worst of the bunch.
-pros
feels more durable than the tough
kickstand
-cons
thicker than tough
black and gray accents not really nice looking, imo
kickstand is a small flimsy piece of plastic. looks VERY easy to break
-worst con
dont know if it was just me but once i stuck my 3d in, it couldnt come out. was prying on my evo3d for 5 mins to get it out, back cover actually popped off while still in case. had to pry off that very carefully since it was so thin it might break.

Thanks. Sounds like this isn't a very good case. I'm glad I got it for $20. I will buy another if I don't like it, but from your description it sounds like I won't. I like to be able to easily get my phone out of the case. I also have a TPU case on the way. I do like to be able to easily interchange cases depending on what I am doing and if it is really that hard to get it out if this thing I think it may be a dust collector.
I saw it at the sprint kiosk yesterday. It didn't look too appealing. Looked like it had a rubber sleeve that fit inside the actual case part. The kickstand looked cheap. And it was 40 bucks! The guy pulled out like 15 cases. I walked away with the smoke honeycomb tpu case. Fits like a glove.

The only case I've ever had that I liked better then the casemate pop is the Speck CandyShell. I dont see the point in leaving the sides pure silicone, I'd like to see it completely enclosed like the candyshell is. Speck must have a patent on that design or something because no one else ever makes them like that. I wouldn't be surprised to see Speck put one out for the Evo 3D either. But this White/Grey Casemate Pop is sick.. it really is. Highly recommend it. Only downside so far is it does add some weight and it doesnt fit in the iGrip dock like my TPU cases will.

I should be receiving mine tomorrow. I've noticed any case with a kickstand is bulky. I tried the Platinum one from BB and it added bulk as well but the kickstand was flimsy. Even from the pix I've seen, the official HTC case looks bulky. It might just be something we have to live with if we want a kickstand on this phone. I had a nice red Amzer snap-on case for my OG Evo and it felt like nothing was added to the phone. If they can make one like that with a kickstand, we'd be good to go.
Anyone noticed that when using the kick stand, the charging port goes to the bottom? Not a huge deal but for those who watch lots of youtube or movies...

Got one of these yesterday, it's a perfect fit and it barely adds any girth to the phone. It actually feels the same size in my hand believe it or not.
The only issue I have is that it leaves the top and the bottom of the phone exposed. Oh and that is pretty hard to get off the phone.
Overall, I'm very satisfied with my purchase.

Yeah I bought this case in Indigo Blue before I got my phone and it is nice for a slim case, but I decided I needed more protection. It does leave the top and bottom edges exposed and starts out a little tight when new. I only use it for times when I need a slim case.
But the texture is nice and I really don't have anything bad to say about it.

Here are some quick pictures I snapped of the case (front and back). Its got a great matte black finish that really reminds me of the Incipio Feather I have used on the Atrix and iPhone4 in the past. This one seems more durable with the short time I have had with it- it doesn't feel like it will snap easily like other thin cases.
Its really not difficult to take off unless you have only used soft gel or TPU cases before. Just pop off one corner, then the other on the same side and the entire case comes right off. Since the bottom is open, it works in the Samsung Desktop Dock perfectly.
(Don't mind the lift/bubbles on the screen protector, the new ones are in the mail )

The white one is not matte... It's pretty slick. It does have a little grip too it.

I got mine yesterday. I got the matte blue.
I'm pretty sure I'm gonna return it though.
I found it actually more slippery than the stock back.
I don't mind the top and bottom exposure because I think the odds of impact at those points are slim. I think the corners are most important and I don't know why one of them has a cutout (top right). I can't see a reason for it.
Looking at my last phone's scratches the corners are where it hit the few times it fell.
As far as the exposed top and bottom I guess it was easier to mold that way...
Like I said I don't mind the exposure but I realized the bottom opening has a bit of an edge to it. Noticeable. I was holding the phone one handed and I noticed I use my pinkie finger along the bottom of the phone as a cradle.
Unfortunately, that edge is right there and was uncomfortable.
So the case is beautiful and has the looks and the feel (but a bit slippery) but the exposed corner and the bottom edge make me want to try something else.
On my tbolt I had a Seido Surface and it was perfect. Slim and added very little bulk and weight.
I contacted Seido to see if they were going to make that line for the Note and they said at this time they weren;t. Perhaps the 5 million in sales will change that...I guess for now I'll keep it naked and research some more.
I got the black and white versions of this case off Amazon. The black definitely has a better grip. The white looks great with my new white note, but like other's have said, it's a glossy finish and doesn't have the some tact feel as the black.
I also got another cheap black case that has a small frame that snaps on the front to provide a lip around the screen. It feels exactly the same as the black elago, and aside from the front screen lip, it's the same size.

I noticed that my case was slippery at first as well, but over time, it isn't as slippery as the stock white cover any more.
Also, the cut out on the upper right corner is to accommodate the antenna on the Korean version of the GNote. Rather than retool their fabrication process for other markets, they just used the same mold for all. At the price this thing goes for, you'd think they would've done a separate fabrication for models without the need for the cutout.
Other than that, I'm pretty happy with mine.

I had it for my iPhone and really enjoyed the case. Held up with my many drunk phone drops and the phone itself still looked like new. I would assume the case would still be awesome for the Nexus.
I just received mine in the mail about 10 minutes ago. And right off the bat I love this case. Feels great in the hand. All the ports are covered. Adds a little bulk to it but its pretty minimal. And most importantly it feels super sturdy. I finally feel at ease having this phone out of my pocket. This is my first Trident case but I'm pretty sure this thing could take a nice beating.

Just got mine too! I'll be posting pics in a bit.
Update: This case is very well made. The buttons are easy to press and also I love the feedback when you press on it. If you notice the back of the case has two ridges on it. This enables the phone to be used on a flat surface. So the phone doesn't wobble around while its laid down. Also it feels great in the hand. It feels a nudge thicker than my Ringke slim case. Overall, I'm very happy with this case. It doesn't add too much thickness. I can finally txt while the phone is flat on my desk. Button cut outs are perfect.
Is the rubber soft or more like a TPU? Does it attract a lot of lint? I don't like soft rubber than stretches out over time like he ballistic cases have.
Yes its soft rubber. The blue part is hard plastic. I have mostly kept my phone in my jacket pocket. No lint issues so far.

I appreciate the reply I'm still deciding on what I want. If I get one it will be black and I'll post pictures.
I have a jelly comb tempered glass on mine with this case. Between the two I am almost getting full screen protection. It does go around the slight curve a bit but doesn't affect the tempered glass.

The rubber is pretty comparable to that of an otterbox. But I honestly think it feels more forgiving. The rubber really feels like it would absorb a drop very well. The rubber is a little thicker than that of an otterbox, but overall bulk on this thing really is minimal. I would definitely recommend it. Its easier for me to hold one handed now too. Rubber gives it some grip where its exposed.

In just don't like how the otter box rubber stretches out over time and is a lint magnet. Do you think this case would suffer from those issues?

It def could stretch. Mine hasn't yet or I would have returned it lol but I could see how maybe that could happen over time. But it does feel like it would be more resilient to stretching vs the rubber on an otterbox. And it is that same material that does suck up lint. But mine hasn't really yet. I don't keep it in my pocket much so that helps. But I have been surprised about the lack of lint on this thing. I have the back one. I will post pics later.

Just got mine too! I'll be posting pics in a bit.
Update: This case is very well made. The buttons are easy to press and also I love the feedback when you press on it. If you notice the back of the case has two ridges on it. This enables the phone to be used on a flat surface. So the phone doesn't wobble around while its laid down. Also it feels great in the hand. It feels a nudge thicker than my Ringke slim case. Overall, I'm very happy with this case. It doesn't add too much thickness. I can finally txt while the phone is flat on my desk. Button cut outs are perfect.

Thanks for the update! Sounds like I made a good purchase, and the black one I ordered is supposed to arrive Thursday. Now if only I had the nexus that went in the case.... hahaha

I'm not sure I understood what you say (not a native English speaker, nor do I have the Nexus 6 yet, though I will most probably order it very soon): does the Aegis stop where the Jelly Comb begins, or does it cover it a bit, or does it leave a gap between the case and the protector?
Could you please post a picture of what it looks like on your phone? Making my purchasing list (a phone without accessories is not enough, even such a big pricey one as the Nexus 6 ), and will definitely go for the Aegis. I still need to make my mind up on a screen protector: I've not already been through all the pages on the tempered glass thread, but the Jelly Comb is one of those coming back much there.
I tried to take pics, but my camera sucks and came out blurry. But there is a tiny space between the jelly comb tp and the case. I highly recommend this combo. Its a perfect fit.

Thanks for the quick answer. Great news to me if the Aegis and Jelly Comb almost fit flush. If I read you right, you'd almost have to look for the gap to notice there's a screen protector (save for the speakers and other cut-outs)?
If you cannot get your camera close enough to zoom right on the gap (minimum focusing length problem, I guess: it's why macro lenses are made, but if you're not into insects portraiting, use cases requiring just those are not that many ), maybe a wider field of view would be doable? I'm essentially after such a gap not being noticeable in normal use cases; not after nitpicking if it's just as wide as a few hairs
Here are the pics anyways. It's blurry as hell, but hopefully u can get an idea.
Has anybody tried one yet on the DT2? I want to protect the leather, but still show it off, as well as give some cushioning for light drops due to having wood and tile everywhere in my house.
If anybody has used one, how clear are they? How well is the fitment? Specifically, I'm looking at this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...id=1447601659&ref_=sr_1_19&s=wireless&sr=1-19
Reviews look like it doesn't fit right. Although people are talking about tablets. One says the slots and holes aren't right. Doesn't look promising. I'm waiting for Diztronic because they've never let me down with TPU cases for my phones.

I received that very one 2 days ago. I really like it. Was looking for a bumper case as I don't tnink the phone needs a back cover. Couldn't find one so I ordered this one. The back is indeed crystal clear (so far) and shows off my soft grip well. The sides are tpu & offer way more grip than the original metal. All the cutouts line up & the buttons are easy to push. The clear back plastic is apporximately 1/16" thick. I'd buy it again.

Brian, do you have a picture?

Don't know if this will work or not. Didn't see a way to attach an image from a local folder so I tried to attach a link to my google drive where the pictures are. Fingers crossed.

Pictures worked and looks good. I ordered the same case two weeks ago and was back-ordered from the seller. It's "shipping" now and hopefully i'll be getting this case soon! I also did not want to cover up the back as mine is the leather back.

I bought one of these today. I can confirm that the buttons work well. Here's a riddle: What is flexible on the sides, rigid on the back, and clear all over. This case! *rim shot*
Wow, that looks really good. I'm going to order one asap. Thanks!
Urban Armor Gear has a clear case. I love it.

Moto X Style/Pure coming with bumper case. It's cheap, transparent plastic but perfect to protect metal frame. If anyone find the same type for Turbo 2/Force, please let us know.
I bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Authentic-C...476482?hash=item41a2479d02:g:Iq8AAOSw3KFWgIVS
Works great. Add extra piece of mind when holding DROID without excessive bulk.
I finally got my clear case. I was waiting on my Amazon Gift card birthday present because I didn't really want to spend my own money on it, lol
I love it, though. Looks great on the phone and protects the leather.

+1 on Diztronic, good cases, used them on other phones before, and I have the blue TPU one on my D2 now. Not the slimmest of cases, but very well made and the button feel is perfect, better than naked.
I got the Pleson clear TPU case cause I love the look of this phone, but FWIW, clear cases just seem like lint traps to me. I found myself removing the phone from the case too often to clean out all the pocket lint that was getting sandwiched in there...kept bugging my OCD tendencies. And when it was out one day, you guessed it, dropped on my concrete floor in the basement and dented the corner a bit....GAHHH.
I have this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01868SM9S
It fits well and all the ports are uncovered. Don't try using the screen protector that comes with it, the one they sent with mine is too tall for the phone.

It's similar to one I bought it. I'm using for awhile and fit very well and I like it.
