Warning: international flip case doesn't fit 717 perfectly - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Just a word of warning here.
I have both devices. Most everything is interchangeable except the back covers becuase the insides of the devices are slightly different. So my official Samsung flip case doesn't fit on the 717. It nearly fits but won't clip in in one place. Cases that attach to the outside of the device are fine, like bodygloves but not those that require you to take off the phones' back cover and replace it.
Batteries are identical.
Hope that helps when ordering online!

I know i lost mine" don't ask me how" so i ordered one not paying attention on the model was just going for a cheap one in price. Just came in today and yep it's the wrong one... Oh well i guess i have to order another battery case...

[Q] Bumper cases for AT&T SGS2

Does anyone know if there are any Bumper Cases for the ATT SGS2 or anything that fits the ATT version?
I'm looking for something that would give me some drop protection without really adding any bulk to the phone. And I think a bumper case would be great if I can find anything.
So far I have not really been able to find anything. I saw a few international bumper cases but I don't know if they fit and I don't want to spend money for international shipping without knowing that it would fit properly.
This is the only one I could find.

Take out the space in cellular factory
Apply "CVDQY4" for free shipping.
Yeah but that's for the international sgs2. I'm worried picking one up for the international version because the dimensions are different.

It will fit, just that it will cover the top noise canceling mic, won't effect it too much. You can always drill/poke a hole if you want.. lol

I purchased the one for $3.79. Standard shipping was only $4 so even if it doesn't fit I am only out $8. Only thing is its like a three week shipping time so it will be a while before I can give you feedback.

I thought the dimensions were the same for the i9100 and the i777....

They are the same... But international cases cover the top noise canceling mic on AT&T model since the mic is placed a different place compared to the international.

They are actually slightly different in dimensions.

^^^Well... similar enough for most if not all cases will fit..
So all of the spg cases will fit?

According to them, yes. Just that if you order international version, they will give you the international version screen protector.. They're slowly repackaging all/most of their international version cases for AT&T.

I purchased the black bumper case from this ebay seller. http://www.ebay.com:80/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=220870704009&ssPageName=ADME:L:OC:US:1123
It came really fast. Shipping only took 2 days.
I really like this case. It is made of hard and soft tpu. It fits perfectly even though its made for the international version. It does have the cut out in the corner for the antenna. It DOES NOT have the right cut out for the second mic. I was going to drill a hole, but in my testing the mic still seems to work as it is barely covered.
This is a great bumper case for the price. It adds no bulk and still protects the phone. I will try to add pics later.
Are there any good bumper cases without the hole in the corner? I have a fear that if I ever drop my phone it will land exactly on that unprotected corner.

Aluminum Battery Cover.

Just ran across these on Ebay. not sure if they would fit out models or not but the black and silver ones look pretty slick.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Aluminum-Me...140?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item27bf5c59f4
and they kinda looked raised like the 2000mah battery covers do. (judging from the looks of the camera hole)
might order one after my Taurus bumper comes in.
anyone already tried one??
Hmm... the black and silver look pretty nice - but I'd expect the price to be a bit less for random parts coming out of Hong Kong. At least the shipping is free though.
Maybe I'll try one.
Well, according to this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1313054
They may not fit anyway... good thing I didn't buy yet.
Is it physicaly bigger or is it just that the tabs dont line up?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Seller said that if it didnt fit or i didnt like it i could return it within 7 days. so i ordered a black one. figure if it works that it will look good with the Taurus bumper i ordered.
over in the i9100 forum for the 2000mah battery+cover they show that the korean version fits but a few of the tabs that secure the side have to be dremel-ed off. im hopeinh since this is coming from korea also thats all ill have to do.
I'll keep you guys informed.
Hopefully they fit, if not they need something like this for our phones. Looks so sick!

thats great! hope it fits, can't wait to hear back and see how it all goes
I was look at buying this battery cover when I came across this thread. Seems to be the same as one in the original post, but it's a few bucks cheaper. Fingers crossed it works out!
Has anyone received this yet? Im curious if these it or will need a bit of modding
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using Tapatalk
Confirming this DOES NOT FIT the ATT model. I bought this when I had brought my white SGS II International model back from Thailand, and had used it a couple days on that. they do look nice. But then when I switched to the AT&T model I sold the cover with it. Wish they'd fit the ATT model. The only thing that really concerned me was if the NFC would work through the back, but we likely won't have to worry about that since nobody seems to have any motivation to enable the NFC on our phones, hehe.
still hve not recieved mine. acording to the shipping info it is listed to be delivered on the 7th.
as soon as i get it i will let you guys know.
I am curious as well, I really like the look of these metal battery covers.
Ok. Just got mine out of the mail box. I appears to be a thin peice of aluminum adhered to a thin plastic back cover. But i can Confirm that...
It DOES fit the AT&T GSII..
snaps right on no problems. and looks awesome with my black Taurus Bumper
i'll snap some pics later tonight if i can.

You mentioned it was a metal cover over the plastic backing, does this make the phone thicker in any way? Is there now a ridge where the battery cover meets the plastic on the phone?
Looks good though!
Phone is very very slightly thicker.
Not sure about the ridge. Would have to remove my Taurus to see. Might when i get home

Cases - Do we know for sure if International version will work?

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.
Sent from the SuperStreak! ;-)
Best Buy giving away free case!!
I got a free case from Best Buy for Preordering my Note from them and then they gave me $50 bucks!

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!

As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

how difficult is it to take these cases/covers off of the Note? (so i can change the sd card or battery)

Seidio has a place holder up for the Galaxy Note! Won't be long now before the cases come out. I wonder if they will include a holster for the surface case?

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:
Will a screen protector come with each of those cases?
I noticed the purple S-Line link doesn't go to product page.....But will you guys still be selling it in that color?
And finally, does the Gloss and S-Line cases both feel about the same?
EDIT: Nevermind. I scrolled through your product pages and was able to find that purple case.
Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

has anyone buy the SCR10 from ebay? price vary from $12 to $25. I am pretty sure those $15 one is fake. Also, there are two versions of the official case, one has chrom logo with clear plastic package, the other just printed logo with paper package features Brazil WC.

eBay scr10
Got mine today for £13.50 postage paid. If its fake then its a very good one!
I doubt it makes much difference as the Sony original is absolutely awful and grossly overpriced. I bought one from Amazon and sent it back by return of post. VERY rare do I need to do that. There are several flaws with the case not to mention its lack of magnet closing and if its dropped the front flap opens. If you are quick and mange to catch the flap before the phone hits the floor the phone itself wold become detached from the case and still hit the floor.
I am afraid Sony dropped the ball with this case and the price. Same with the Smart bad replacement bands, half the price of the complete band with sensor itself? I fall out with Sony over their policies regarding accessories. Some of them are either poorly thought out, poorly made and cost the earth.

BlackBerry DTEK50 cases for Idol4

Have anybody tried fitting a BlackBerry DTEK50 case onto our Idol4? I know they're basically the same phones but I am not 100% sure, and I don't want to spend money on something that may not even fit. There are no good cases for Idol4 here in Poland, so that would be my last hope :crying:

I found 2 really amazing cases on eBay... Military grade material and drop tested.. shock proof. Tempered glass screens included. Under 20 bucks.. and also another technically designed clear case with lining of rubber strips in delicate spots.. only 9 bucks.. I'm ordering this black and orange one here: http://www.ebay.com/itm/232241803876

Unfortunately, the shipping cost to Poland would be twice the price of the case, so that's a no-no for me :/ I've ordered an NGP Incipio case for Blackberry DTEK50, we'll see if it fits. I'll update once I get it, in case someone would want to do the same.
Update:
OK, it came today and everything fits perfectly so if anyone is hesitating whether to buy one or not, you're free to go Just keep in mind I'm talking only about the previously mentioned case, and I have no idea if any other one fits.
