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!

I'm using this one...fits great, has a diamond-plate pattern texture where you grip it so it's not slippery in the hand. and has all the microphone holes in the right places for our model.

Ive been looking at this one, which is a few bucks cheaper but looks very similar to what you posted. http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-BLACK-S...745897?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43aa3a2429
@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.

You have a $600 phone, and you're looking at a $3.00 case?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using XDA Premium App
If it does it job right yep, From what I did to my captivate it should be good and protect the plastic from scratching if I drop it. I've never dropped my phone to the point of anything breaking.

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.
nobody like pouch/holder，i dont think someone would using a case for long time.
i just use case with my phone for 1 month.
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.
via my AT&T Note
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.

Wow, $65 for a case. But if it is good quality leather, it would be worth every penny. We will see I suppose. I'm sill waiting for a leather case with a belt clip thats not junk. I look forward to a full review OP, don't let us down!
I want it so bad. Thin, kickstand, great color, and stuff. I dunno if it has bumper sidings. but hey thats what the best buy accidental plan is for. not bad for ten bucks a month

I like that they have different colors. The brown would look sexy on the white note, but on a black one may look odd. Note sure though. I noticed they had a burgandy or maroon one, nice to have some options.
Very nice. But that's really pricey.
It reminds me of the Samsung flip cases. I wonder if it supports the NFC antenna as it looks like it replaces the back battery cover.

I don't think it replaces the back cover. They make another version without the flip cover that is a 2-part, front and back snap together case. This one looks just like it. So the back of the case fits over the Note's back cover, then you attach the front bezel.

You should try the yooboa flip cases, they're real leather and half the price. They make 2 styles, I have the executive leather one, no complaints here and for $23 it'll hold me over til trident or otterbox decide to release their cases.

That's on the optimistic side of typical for HK purchase. I bought some batteries mid month and saw 28th as expected delivery and thought it was great, then when the 29th came I was wondering where my stuff was and looked it up and it actually had said the end of the following month. I was ticked, mostly as myself. Batteries showed up a week or two later though ahead of schedule.
Just bought mine from amazon for $39.99
When you get one of these Tryit cases in, will you please let us know if the bezel covers the edge of the display? From the pictures, it looks like it doesn't (which would allow me to put a Glas.t on it). Thanks.
Once I get it, I'll post pics.

Would you guys consider the bodyglove slimmer than the Amzer cases? http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Luxe-Ar..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334277058&sr=1-2
I bought two cases
one for $3 from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/White-Rubberi..._11?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334610692&sr=1-11
and the other one for $10 from Radioshack
http://www.radioshack.com/product/index.jsp?productId=11791815&filterName=Brand&filterValue=HTC
I liked the latter one and am currently using it.
Don't buy the Body Glove slim profile case
Worst case I have ever purchased. The outside material feels nice but it is a very cheep casting. The edges are not smooth. when you hold the phone to your ear the edge of the case hurts your face and ear. It doesn't cover the top and bottom front edge. these edges will end up scratched up and the rest of the phone will be in good shape.
P.S. If you are willing to pay for the shipping you can have mine for free. My zip code is 93036. That's how much I don't like it.
Anyone herd if there making one for the Evo.
I want a cheap tpu case but one with a little swag and the androidify case look pretty nice.

Thanks, just ordered a green one. $5 shipping is a bit steep imo though. I also ordered 2 tpu cases from diztronic in matte and high gloss black so now i have 3 options to choose from.
I grabbed one!I just like the androidify case, ill probably get others but Ill rock the green one for a bit. Whenever my phone gets here of course...
Just ordered a black one. $13.41 shipped. Not bad at all!

I am sure if you contact them they will give you credit for the 2.51
I ordered 3 last night for less than 20 bucks shipped. I got the pink, orange, and green. My wife and I now have 7 cases for 2 phones. LOL.
Let me explain...
When I got our phones I ordered 2 cases, Diztronic matte black and Amzer "white". Then I found out about the free cases from Sprint and got those.
The Amzer "white" description and photo was totally misleading. It's more like clear but not quite. On the phone, it looks like it is aged by the sun and/or smoke.
Still waiting to get my Diztronic...
Finally, I found out about Cruzerlite and liked their design. I really only needed 1 case for my wife but the buy 2 get 1 free deal with free shipping was too good to pass up.

Emailed them and within 10 min had a refund of the difference to my paypal acct. The money wasnt really the issue i was just curious on their level of customer support. Very impressed!
I'm eager to hear some input on how this compares to the diztronic.
Just ordered the black one.
Hoping it's as good as some people say!
use the code xda, also if you use google checkput or paypal the shippins is less
Just got mine. Really fast shipping. I think ordered these on this past Monday. Case fits perfect. All holes cutout and match up. The power button is somewhat blocked. But it still works. Just need to press a little extra or come from back to front. The white one is what I have on it now. And makes it look very nice. Has texture on the back for grip. And same along sides. I'd rate it a 9 out of 10
