Looks cool!! I may have to buy one of these!
Question for all you armor folks out there....how do most cases where the phone "snaps" into place work when using a full body shield like these? Does it stay on the phone well? Does it fit the case after you install it...or using a case that the phone snaps in destroy the armor?
TIA
I go with these or nothing...cases get stuff inbetween that end up scratching your junk anyways plus they bulk it up a bit
Plus a good case will be snug enough that it most likely wouldn't like the couple mils added by the skins

FYI - I've had experience with both white (EVO 4G, iPad 2) and black (Infuse, Iconia A100) CF vinyl wraps on my devices. The texture on the white makes it really hard to keep clean. Also, I'm assuming you're putting this on a white note in which case the dirt trapped on the edges of the wrap will show quickly. I briefly thought about a white wrap for my note...but I'm leaning more towards a thin case instead.
YMMV, just my .02.
Good point, it's on it's way might just have to get a clear one, or the red one is 40% off, damn they should hook a brotha up for plugin their stuff lol

The case probably wouldn't fit as well. also, i wouldn't use the side protection if your using a case, only the back. the sides come off very easily.
I can't seem to order. I'm in the cart and hit checkout, and the darn cart acts like I hit refresh and just redraws my cart.
Anyway, I found a 10% coupon code: guard
Update: I switched to Internet Explorer, and I was able to buy. I guess they don't like Google Chrome.
If you are a repeat customer you get 20% off your purchases. I just bought the full body kit along with the anti glare screen protector.
I put it on my AT&T Note today. (I got the black Carbon Fiber)
The battery cover was easy to put on, but the sides were a little tricky.
I had to cut the strip that goes along the side where the power button is. I just could not make it fit. Assuming I was doing it right, it would have covered part of the stylus hole, so I just snipped around that area, and it was fine. That was the only side that gave me any trouble.
Hi guy,
want to check with you,
have anyone tried the UltraTough Clear Skins Full Body for galaxy note? How was it?
Thinking of getting one, any discount coupon above 10% available for me to use?
Thanks
The case I just got yesterday, spigen spg ultra thin is very very thin. Coming from a speck is a HUGE difference. I only problem with these vinyl wraps is its hard to clean Although I might be actually checking that yoobao cases..

Incipio MT-106 Feather Case for Motorola Atrix 4G - Matte Black
I have the speck case. Very durable and even dropped my phone from about five feet high landing on the corner of the case on the edge of my metal bedframe. The case has a little dent where that happened but nothing happened to the phone. Doesnt fit very well in the dock but is extremely easy to take on and off.
you should think about getting a new back cover (i believe they come in green or blue) and then just putting a high quality screen protector on your phone. the scratch issue is gone, the phone still fits in the dock, and the screen is decently protected.
this may help:

I would recommend the Seidio Active case from www.seidioonline.com if you dont like bulk but want decent protection. I own that case in Sapphire Blue and love it. I'm currently using my Ballistic HC series case, which is the BEST protection you can possibly get for the Atrix. Beats the otterbox defender hands down.

Which screen protector should i get as well?
Personally I just bought an oem battery door from ebay and it fits perfect, with less creaking than my old one. Plus I purchased a tpu case from ebay also, I always go with these tpu cases as they are lightweight and protect from major falls. Dropped my inc-s which had one from about 4 feet onto concrete and not a single mark was left on the phone. Hope this helps.
Sorry if I sounds like an idiot, kinda new to posting
I still prefer the old flip leather case I used with my HTCs with windows mobile. Good times...

To be honest, I love the aesthetics of this case; however, I dislike it very much right now.
I recently dropped my phone as I was getting out of my car. It's not a high car. I saw the phone hit the ground, the case flew off, and then my phone hit the ground again.
Now, my once pristine phone has deep scratches on all 4 corners.
Sad times.

New dilemma
Ok now after all of my case searching these are the two choices that i have:
An Incipio Feather Case and Zagg Screen Protector
or
An Incipio SILICRYLIC-Hard-Shell-Case-with-Silicone-Core
Which one should i get now?
btw i couldnt get what i said i was getting before cause they do not deliver to Pakistan but Incipio and Zagg do from their official websites
get the Otterbox Commuter
Dont really like the Otterbox commuter...what about the two cases that i stated before? Which one of those should i get?
Pwersonally, I would go for the 'Clear Protector' instead of Zagg... I have tried both and found the 'clear' a smarter fit.
As for the cover, it is up to you. Trial and erorr no doubt. I have the mesh cover which fits well (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/new-Hard-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item53e8938ff1) and provides protection.
I prefer Martin Fields than Zagg. They seem comparable in protection but Martin Fields has no orange peel yet has anti glare and also A LOT easier to 'install' on your phone.
I just got my atrix but i dont like the plastic cover. I had desire to this point and i am looking for a case which has that kind of feel like desire.
I would really appreciate any help

Personally, I think the phone is too thin and light. I keep dropping it cause of that. hah. Thats why i wanted a bigger case, one with more grip. I have -huge- hands.
From what I've used before, the skins are good, but the edges will get dirty so you have to be really good with cleaning.
Found another similar item:
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...3O/ref=sr_1_67?ie=UTF8&qid=1319057348&sr=8-67
Using the screen protector with a tpu case. Compared to zagg invisible shield (my only similar point of comparison) the protector seems somewhat softer material, a little more susceptible to surface damage and scratches. It does seem equally protective as the zagg. Slightly easier install, though this might just be more installation experience.

I ordered both of them but the skinomi came in first. It only took two days. Bodyguardz had a negative review about the battery cover skin on Amazon so I purchased this as well. Applied it. Nice feel, texture. Skin is of 3M quality. Only the sides had a small gap. Also came with a screen protector. Chose this over a case to keep it's thinness and weight. Here are the results:

Wow this looks really cool. After having the phone for a day I can say that without a case I can hardly notice it's even in my pocket so I was interested in just a skin and this one looks really cool.
I am going to order it based on your pics and review.
Thanks again
The ArmorSuit Military Shield came in today. From looking at it:
- Comes in a box instead of a tube like Skinomi.
- Carbon fiber weaving is the same, high quality 3M brand, but the cuts aren't precise as Skinomi. Though the side cuts do trace around the power and volume rocker better instead of having a cut.
- Screen protector seems thinner, might be better for sensitivity but I'm not having any problems with Skimomi's right now.
- It's comes with the same solution tube.
- A rubber card which is better than Skinomi's plastic.
- Comes with a lint-free cloth. Something Skinomi didn't offer.
- Costs less than Skinomi by a good margin.
- They both have the same instructions.

Review of ArmorSuit MilitaryShield - Screen Protector Shield -Samsung Galaxy S2
After opening the box I found the instructions to be very clear - I followed through with each step and found the process easy, quick and exactly as the instructions had suggested. I left my Samsung Galaxy S ll overnight and presto the screen guard was perfect in the morning. The MilitaryShield was precisely cut to provide perfect fitting that has an invisibly look. If you own a Samsung Galaxy phone, this is the screen protector I have found. Look on ebay or Amazon and expect to pay $4-$8. Full review at friendcommended DOT com/showreplies.php?qid=824[/url]
So any final votes for one or the other (Skinomi vs. ArmorSuit)? I'm ordering one tonight or tomorrow (need something that will fit in the Samsung dock, plus I like the slimness of the phone) and from what's here so far, it sounds like a coin flip (or price).
Any weight one way or the other appreciated!
I am interested in the The ArmorSuit Military Shield full body (invisible color).
I saw on their web site the video on how to install the screen protector, but no video for the cell phone body. From some of the comments it seems pretty easy but you just need to be careful. How does the skin stick to the phone ? Do you have to use the solution spray ? Thanks for any advice.
Also has anyone tried the phone with the full body ArmorSuit Military Shield with one of those cases :
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0056Y7BK2/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=AMTU4SZ18PWZ4
or http://www.amazon.com/TPU-Cases-Fle...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1320511190&sr=1-4
Does it fit well ? Thanks in advance.
Ihave the military shield and its freaking amazing. the screen is still super sensitive and it was easier then making a bowl of cereal to put on. I did use the spray to apply it but i was also careful not to let the spray get into the speaker or the side buttons when i squeegeed it out. Very good. Very protective. Unnoticeable with screen on. Id suggest you buy it if you want absolute protection.
I no longer worry about cleaning my screen anymore.
PS I bought the full body ArmorSuit but only used the screen protector and the back protector and it feels NICE! And if you buy a TPU case on top of that you'll no longer worry about your phones protection....ever... ITS SO AWESOME!!!!!!!!!

thats the exact case i have. its pretty good except I dont like the volume buttons on it. Thinking about using a precision knife to cut them out so I can actually feel the buttons click. Other wise it doesnt make the screen protection rub off or anything. Very solid feel. Pretty decent grip. Nice and cheap too

It's the same material that I used to wrap my car..it's an easy process. It doesn't leave a sticky residue. Make sure to apply heat on the corners with a blow dryer to keep it's shape on the corners. It's memory material.

Thanks - and thanks everybody for the feedback - I ordered the Skinomi (like the looks of the wrap better) - I'll try the Armorsuit screen protector if I don't like the Skinomi. I've never found a screen protector I liked, so I'll probably end up with both
loving the case so far. here are some pics. i tried the hdr function on my camera and it looks real goofy in some pics. just an fyi.

I ordered one after much debate because my Note is too worthy to be buried in my purse. I'm waiting on a full body skin from decalgirl or skinit for the times it will be carried in my hand only. I have a cheap TPU case from ebay but I'm not happy with it.
I don't plan on having it in this case the whole time, "he" will have different outfits depending on what I have to do and where I have to go. This will be when I don't want to carry my purse around but need the essentials.
Residue on Glass from Zenus Case
Hi,
I have the same type of case, but the blue/tan version. I find that the case appears to leave a residue on the glass of my Note. I noticed this as soon as I started to use the case, but I assumed that it was due to a leftover from manufacturing and it would go away. It hasn't. I have even tried to clean the inside of the case that faces the glass and I still get a residue. I clean the glass with an eyeglass lens cleaner.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, have you been able to correct it?
I have the zenus folio in all black, it's basically the same case only all black. I haven't had any trouble with anything transferring to the screen.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk 2
I am starting to think that the residue may be skin oils that transfer to the case because of the way I hold the the case. I flip the cover around the backanx hold it thag way. I know, TMI

Well the title pretty much says it all, just a basic thread asking some basic questions.
1) Do you use a case?
- If so which one?
- how do you like it?
- are you considering something else?/ If so which one? and why?
- Does it make the phone feel bulky?
2) Do you use a screen protector

1. Yep. Right now I have a TPU case but I'm looking at an Otterbox or something similar. Need to protect it better from work.
2. Oh heck yes. Despite being Gorilla Glass screen scratches still happen. I currently use a Zagg invisibleSHIELD. They have a life time guarantee and mild scratches tend to heal so you no longer see them. I won't be switching to another screen protector because these work so well.
1) Yes.
Had this one: Transparent Clear Protector Case Phone Cover For Verizon HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE. Fit well, appeared to be good quality, but was bulky and slippery.
Switched to this one: Fosmon S-Curve Soft Shell TPU Case for HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE - Black Like it much better. Fits well, Not at all bulky or slippery.
2) Also Yes
Have this one: GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector. Very clear, but super fingerprinty. Will likely switch to something matte someday
I am currently using a TPU case, but I am waiting for Seidio to announce their surface case/belt clip combo for this phone; I've use the Seidio surface with all my previous phones.
I used to use a screen protector but stopped about a year ago.
i use the Trident Aegis case.
so far, I love it.
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/htc-fireball-adr6410l/aegis-case-htc-fireball-adr6410l.aspx
Come with the screen protector that is pretty good quality. It is less bulky than the Ballistic case (which i also have).
Issues with the Trident are the headphone jack cutout is not wide enough in the direct of the front of the phone, needs to be filed out a bit and it's fine. The hard portion of the case is a little slippery, the guitar pick shaped area in the back is for the silicon to come through and give you non-slip when laying it on its back, this guitar pick area could be a little bigger or the hard part a less slippery material.
The colors don't seem to be quite as vivid as they look on the site, i got the blue, instead of being as bright as it is on the site, its more muted of a blue which is still nice, but not as nice.
The size to protection ration is perfect for me though. I wouldnt be afraid to drop it but can still use it as my everyday case. Also the silicon is a dust resistant one, Lint comes off very easy.
I was not happy with the ballistic due to its size and the silicon on it is a lint magnet. The ballistic corners on it while nice for grip, make getting it in/out of a pocket a pain. The hard shell on the ballistic has a much nicer feel though and is not slippery. The ballistic also does not come with a screen protector.
awesome, thanks for the answers guys!
guys it's my turn!
1) I use TPU black case from Verizon only when going on and I think I may need the extra protection.
I really like the fit of the TPU case it fits very snug, and the cut-outs for the power and the volume buttons make it a perfectly made cse + cheap. :good:
2) Un-characteristuic of me, but YES, I currently do have one on, my dad got the phone the same day and got a package, so I tossed one on.
but I took it off tonight.
don't need it TBH.
gorilla glass will scratch yes, but I'm very OCD lol.
I'm using the Incipio Feather, very nice on this phone. Seems better quality than the one I had on my Inc2.
Using some Verizon screen protectors because they were 10 bucks. Not too bad but they have camera and proximity sensor cutouts which I don't like, so I'll find some that cover the entire front.
Actually saw a very small scratch in the top right corner of the screen the first few days - decided it was worth peice of mind to spend $10 on a screen protector rather than find out gorrilla glass could scratch somewhere more irritating later. Picked up the verizon screen covers and the one on there seems to be holding up against scratches too. They don't cover the sensors/cam spots on the front as mentioned above but since those are over black areas scratches may not too bad (??)
I also tend to drop my phone every once in a while so I grabbed a cheap black/white TPU case off amazon (I think it was $15 with shipping) but the cut outs are too narrow and the volume rocker is really hard to push to activate. I'm waiting on Seidio to release an active case option and if they don't (or its not what I'm looking for) I'll probably go to incipio duo pro sycrillic's line.
I've just order the S-Curve TPU case and the Cruzerlite Androidified TPU case. Gotta see which one feels/fits better. Since the Inc4G isn't as wide as my Inc2, I think the added bulk won't be a problem. One question I have is about the TPU material sliding in and out of jeans pockets. Does it get stuck and pick up lint like the silicon case or is it fairly slick? Is it gonna be a battle royal every time I want to pull this thing out of my pocket?

Here is my quick review of the new Incipio DualPro Case. First I want to say sorry for the blurry pics. Wasn't taken with the best camera, but I wanted to get this up now.
Right off the bat this case feels great. It's almost gel-like. It's made of a hard shell, and very soft inner part, but both feel the same. It's like a feltish feel. Reminds me of the Nexus One's back. Even though it was hard plastic, it had that soft touch feel to it. The buttons are extremely easy to press thanks to the soft inside material being the cover instead of the hard outer shell, or individual pieces like the Spigen Neo-Hybrid. The overall thickness is also less compared to both the Neo-Hybrid and the Spigen Slim Armor. It almost feels like the naked phone without a case.
The cutouts are spot on too. Just like the Slim Armor. No complaints overall. Again the headphone port has a deep cutout, so you will need an extension, or just use headsets with thin jacks. Anything larger than the headphones that came with it won't fit. The camera is tucked in just enough, so there is no fear of it contacting any surface when put down, and the front is thick enough to protect any sort of surface if laid face down. I'm really happy with this case. For me it's a toss up between the Slim Armor and this with the Neo-Hybrid last. Both the Slim Armor and DualPro feel great in the hand, but the DualPro feels a bit better with the super soft touch feel. Great case that you can't go wrong with. The color is Cyan.

Thanks for the pictures & review, this may be my kind of case. One question though, how is the gripping on the sides? All I need in a case now is one that provide sufficient grip, since the Note 3 is so thin and slippery on the sides that sometimes it literally slides off my hands/grip.
The grip on the sides Isn't super slick but I wouldn't call it grippy either. I'd try and check it out in a VZW store first hand. My only complaint is the TPU insert doesn't have much rigidity around the home button and the speaker. So it snags and doesn't stay snug so to speak.
I'm probably going to return mine when my Uag arrives

This is the only case so far that I'm really having an easy time holding. The Slim Armor was the best I thought, but this one is just a perfect increase in size over the naked phone. The rubbery texture is more than enough to grip. When you first put it on it may feel a bit slippery, but it's just the talcom powder they use in the molds for the silicone to be easy to get out. I wiped mine down, and now it's a soft rubbery grippy feeling case. I really like it a lot. Plus the sides are curved. There are no corners that you need to grip against like the Neo-Hybrid or Slim Armor. It's a very natural feeling to hold it since your fingers wrap the entire case. One bonus feature I found for me is the entire bottom is the very soft inner case, and the way I hold the phone I tend to put my pinky under the bottom as a brace. The soft gel really is easy on my finger. The other two case are hard on the bottom, and I would have to keep moving my pinky to stay comfy.

The grip on the sides Isn't super slick but I wouldn't call it grippy either. I'd try and check it out in a VZW store first hand. My only complaint is the TPU insert doesn't have much rigidity around the home button and the speaker. So it snags and doesn't stay snug so to speak.
I'm probably going to return mine when my Uag arrives

That's a good additon to mention. The top and bottom are both just the soft inner case. There is no hard outer shell to keep it pressed against the phone, so if you tend to put it in your pocket I can see it getting caught and pulled when you try to pull it out, but overall with it being on the case and used, it doesn't "wobble or flipflop" by itself. It's stiff enough to stay put, but easy enough to pull away with a slight tug.
Ah yeah I wasn't clear. It stays put until it snags coming in and out of my pocket. It's merely an annoyance.
My favorite thing about the case is how comfortable it is. Holding the phone naked now feels sharp and uncomfortable.

Looks great!! Thanks for the review and your initial thoughts on it! Looks really good on your white GN3! I also bought a white GN3, so this is perfect for keying me know how this will look on mine! Thank you!!
One thing, you should put a link in the OP so readers can easily find this case, instead of having to search the web for it. Other than that, which you can easily fix with an edit, excellent review!

How'd you get your case so quickly? I pre-ordered directly from incipio.com about 2 weeks ago and still haven't received a shipping notice.
EDIT: Oh, apparently the blue and pink versions are shipping NOW, but the neutral white and black versions are taking a little longer. Ah well.

I'm special. LOL Yeah just as your edit said. I check sites daily, and when I see them in stock I order ASAP. That's how I get all my case in before everyone. I check first thing in the morning (around 8). I find I can order in the morning with "in stock" stuff, and by afternoon they are already out of stock.
I picked up my black case at a Verizon corporate store

I picked up a DualPro SHINE, Brushed silver color, from the Verizon store, They were able to pick up the day note3 came out. They still sell them, It's a the best over the counter case you can get IMHO at the moment.
How does this case compare to the spigen bounce? I just ordered the bounce to try it out.
I loved this case on my SG4 but it was a Lint & Dust magnent. I think there is a correlation with most cases....the grippier the case...the more dust and lint it will attract. Just got a UAG case for my new note 3 and it sits perfectly inbetween Grip and Lint spectrum!
Just ordered mine from amazon. How easy / not easy is it to quickly take off and put back on? Like if I wanted to swap batteries in my phone, would it be this whole ordeal? Thanks

It's very easy. One of the best cases if you need to do that. When it's on it's on good, but no fear of breaking something if you have to take it off.

My older brother had the Shine version of the Incipio DualPro for his Galaxy Note II and it was pretty bulky with no easy way to take it off. I have the Spigen Slim Armor for my Galaxy Note 3 and considered it superior until I noticed a crack in the armor yesterday. It has never been dropped so I am pretty sure that it was caused by taking the phone in and out daily. I do this carefully one side at a time and push through from behind (camera opening) but it happened anyway. I would hope that the Note 3 version of the DualPro is easier.
Also, it was rounded so it probably wouldn't fit a flat metallic plate insert like the nGroove Snap uses. He also tried it with a Qi wireless receiver I sent him and it doesn't work through the case. I hope the Note 3 version is thinner.
