Just picked up the note yesterday. Didn't get insurance on it so obviously I'm quite paranoid and can't afford to break it. At the same time though i don't want a huge bulky case. Id like a case that's thin and lightweight but will offer moderate protection if im careful with it. Suggestions?

You won't get drop protection with a thin case. Thin cases, like most of the hard surface ones, are more like scratches protection.
You could get TPU case, the real rubbery one, and not the hard one with rubberized surface. It will still be thin.
For best drop protection, you will need a thick one like Seidio or Otterbox (if they release one)

The SGP Ultrathin has fitment issues on the Note, enough to force me to return mine. Would rec avoiding it and going with the Elago Slim case as a super thin replacement.

Yeah i know i can't get anything crazy thin and have drop protection but i also don't want something completely huge. Maybe i will be ok with just a real thin one though if it has good grip and a bit of a lip on the front. Has anyone heard of broken screens yet? Or is it worth it to get otterbox/similar?

Anyone know of a bumper that has foam protection on the inside? The more i use this phone he more i love it. Don't want to have to cover it up or add huge bulk. I would think a lightweight bumper with some internal padding would b awesome

That seems inexpensive but do the screen protectors work with the I717?
I bought "Speck" case thru AT&T. Shiny plastic outside and rubber inside. Happy with it.
Screen protectors, got the zagg invisible shield from bestbuy. It feels rubbery and stylus having hard time gliding over it.
My suggestion: Do not buy ZAGG screen protector for Note.

After much deliberation I just bought a white sense ultra slim pouch.I think I'll like that as I it'll give it great protection and can still use the phone naked

I like this case. I have some questions for you. How do you like it? How do you attach the plastic outer piece once the the rubber liner is in place? Can you still remove the battery door while the bumper is on? Is there a lip on the front and the back to protect the screen and the camera? And it there room for a screen protector (like the Glas.t)? Sorry for all the questions. Thanks.

Plastic with a leather inner backing to resist scratching. It's not super protective but it's done my Galaxy Nexus well. I really don't like cases, but this one has been the exception.
I absolutely love the Ringke Slim. Had one for my SII also. It's perfect for me.

I'm on the verge of buying a case for my SGS2 but I don't know what I should look for. I banged up my captivate pretty bad (even dropped it in water and it worked!) and would like to keep this phone sexy but functional. I need a case that will fit into my jeans and can still hold onto one handedly and is easy to use all the buttons and Ports. I'm considering a kind of rubber one because I would possibly like the feel of it and won't slip out of my hands. Screen protecters I feel are a waste because I've never scratched my captivate screen and I put it through hell. What are your suggestions for cases? If you could post a link to the product it would be great. Thanks!

@BlakDye,
I have the $2.95 version of the tpu gel case from arena.gadget on the way. It was shipped on 10/28 so I should have it any day now. I currently have this case which I got as an incentive with my phone instead of a price match, but it is a little too bulky for me. If I like the tpu case, I'll be selling this one.

If they had that case hanging on the wall of an AT&T store I'm sure it would be $25.00!
and BTW it fits much better than the AGS case I bought when I got the phone.

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

Ballistic cases in my opinion are the BEST out there! Period. The have a bit of bulkiness due to the amount of protection they provide, but still feel nice in your hand. Coming soon I hope!

Ok so I see lots have opted for several different case designs and styles. Of those of you that use a TPU case, would you say your's is tight?
So far I've only gotten delivery of my Mercury Pearl and i'ts everything I would have wanted, except slightly exact. Not tight enough for my tastes.
I like thin, slim, tight fitting.
While at it I guess I will also ask about thin slim hard snap on back cover cases. I like the barely there, ultra feather type as well.
Any suggestions, in particular looking at the various inexpensive ebay korea/china versions.

I still think Diztronic holds the crown for best affordable case and arguably best case at any price for it's slim profile. It provides a lip around the screen as well as a lip around the camera.
I'd originally ordered the case as a temporary case until my Spigen Neohybrid case came in. But with Spigen screwing around with the ship date I decided to cancel the order completely and simply use the Diztronic case permanently. The quality is excellent and based on pictures of the Neo Hybrid, the Diztronic case is also more compact since the edge conforms to the phone more than the Spigen case does.

Hah I did the same thing. I ordered a case as a "get by" case but ended up liking it a lot.
My NH is "supposed" to ship on the 24th so I guess Ill just wait instead of risking it never getting canceled. I just hope it fits right.
Never thought accessories would be so limited for this phone. My local Verizon store only got 6 note 3's in on the launch day...

Defender
I've had the O-Box Defender on my Mega since day 1. Love it. I attached a disc to the back so I can even wear it on my belt. :silly:
I got an otterbox for a galaxy mega, it feels great but It may have made the phone too big
I would try out the Trident Aegis case and fit the screen with a 9H tempered glass and your phone would be invulnerable to drops. I added this combination to my Mega 6.3 when I first got it and had a few drops here and there and nothing broke or chipped. The rubber material of the case is thicker and stronger then Otterbox's Defender in my opinion.
