I got the red. I already have the blue combo. I thought the blue looked good. But, damn, this red one. Holy hell it's sexy.
When you get it, would you mind sharing a pic of the screen without the clip cradle? Appreciate it.

I already got it in today...soooo here you go
If you want an idea of the true color of it, it's very similar to the red accents on the phone. It's just like a matte shimmer, if that makes sense. It looks even better in person, trust me.
EDIT: Oh, and korm, the color is a little darker than our beloved Scarlet, but it looks awesome with a big Double T on the screen

Haha.. That's really all that matters to me. It looks sweet. How's the size and feel? It's not too big is it?

I wouldn't say big at all. If you've used the Otterbox Commuter before, it's essentially the same size, just a little more protection. And it hugs the phone reeeeaally well. When I got the blue one, I thought the whole 6-prong thing would cause issues and stretch out. But the plastic is extremely strong and the rubber is thin, but super-high quality. I had to take the blue one off a bunch for battery pulls with all of the flashing I've done in the past few weeks. I was afraid it would start to stretch, but it was perfect every time. I expect nothing less from this red one. It's nice. Probably the first case I would say is actually worth the $30. Don't hesitate; just get it. It's worth it
Has anyone noticed the case does not have those 2 tiny holes in the back of the case? They would be just above the S on the back. Im told those 2 tiny holes in the back cover are for the phones antenna, it is said to help the reception.
Has your reception gone down? Check your -db with the cover on verses off.
that is the only thing I am concerned about, reception is -97db here at the house, yup pretty poor but I dont get any dropped calls, hopefully the cover wont cause problems

Blocking those holes does nothing to signal. It's all good. Same thing was asked about the Commuter case from Otterbox. You would essentially cover those holes anyway if you hold your phone when you talk.

Im Glad to here that. I noticed the Incipio has those holes in there case.
Thanks

Just got mine and put it on. Looks 5 stars! Feel, so far 4 stars, which is pretty good since I never use a case. It's surprisingly thin..... I may change my mind when I'm sober, but very impressed..... Sound, 1star, my creeks like a MoFo. I was hoping the case would relieve me of creeks, not amplify them. Hopefully I installed it wrong. Anyone else getting creeks?

No creeks here, all is good for me

I think this case looks really nice, but I'm concerned about those LTE holes that are covered on the back. I would think that HTC placed those holes there for a reason, and other cases do not block them. Hmm, trying to decide between this case and the Incipio.

I was worried about that to, I checked my db signal with and without the case on, It made no difference in signal and at my house the signal sux, -95db
.35mm thinner to be exact not much at all, but good to know. the Zenus Air Capsule case i plan on buying is said to be REAL tight. hopefully it will have a touch more breathing room with the AT&T version (so it doesn't scrape the screen protector.)
http://www.phonearena.com/phones/Samsung-GALAXY-Note-LTE_id6779/size
I have heard its slightly thinner an I've also heard that the screen sticks out a little bit, i.e. it's not flush. I hope that's not how they made it thinner. We'll see in 1+ days...

The Canadian folks confirmed their version has a lip around the edge of the front and is not smooth like the intl.
Im planning to buy the White version as i own a white Z now and its not as fingerprint magnet like the black one.
We all saw Erica's video about staining:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3t7kaC6Gx8s
I would like to ask white Z2 users: Is this a legit issue or just hype?!
Im not sure if im gonna put the phone into case all the time, often i'll just toss it in my pocket

Ive just had mine in a clear plastic case i bought on ebay for £1.95 so i cant tell to be honest, but i wouldnt want to risk a £600 phone by trying to stain it, id rather just spend £2 on a case and keep it in best condition possible.

I think she made a fuss over nothing, she was in a place where hundreds of people coming through were taking a look at the phone, holding it all over the place, of course it's going to get mucky, all you need to do is wipe it clean.
The real question is how the plastic moulding will hold against UV damage and this will take several months if not years to notice.

Nothing is hidden, as the case is clear all over, so it still looks ace, but just with a bit of protection on it

It will provide some protection, but im not a clumsy person, im more worried about something in my pocket scratching my phone,
when i am working i have a company iphone and i need it with me at all times so it goes in the same pocket, that was the main reason for the case.

Just bought the white one. Stains real easy. So, went to pharmacist and bought myself a microfibre cloth + rubbing alcohol (surgical spirit). Does the job, though I can see myself cleaning this phone every two weeks .

Reinstall your rom using.Pcompanion.If that does not work give it to Sony centre or in the store you took it if it has warranty.
This thread is racist
Mine does receive a blue stain on the back from one of my pair of blue levi jeans. Will wash it with the pockets out next time to really clean the dye out. Otherwise no the phone hasn't stained from anything.

This is a sure way to get rid of the stain on the phone but be careful, rubbing alcohol destroys adhesive. That is why it is real handy at removing stickers off anything Just wondering if this could effect the bonding of the phone.
Have you ever tried this kind of liquid screen protection ? Did you get good results or is it just a placebo effect ??
Crystalusion
Liquid-Armor
I want to know about it too.
Does the phone still feel the same once its applied? or does it feel different? Like a rubber like coating is on top of it.

With the Liquid Armor,I found a video of some guy who drags a phone with his motorcycle and the phone screen was fine afterwards so I guess it really does work.

Anyway, I have ordered the Spigen Z2 protector (tempered glass)
I tried it with my htc one, I can't really tell if it worked or not. I don't have any scratches on the glass or the metal back, but I usually take really good care of it, so who knows?
I'm still getting it, but it's something I couldn't ignore...

The bending worries more then anything. Might have to reconsider a case.
Ok..this doesn't look good at all. I think that I will cancel my pre-order.

There are different levels of aluminium strength. Obviously they went the cheap route here and picked such soft aluminium as it can be clearly seen in the video.
Don't know about you ,but I treat my phones like a precious piece of China anyway.I have just come from a one M7 after 2 years where it never had a case or a SP on it,always kept in a leather pouch when not in use and it is still in immaculate condition.I'm not going to burn it with a lighter,scratch it with s pick{if I did I'd get a new screen put in anyway ) and its front pocket with nothing else in there.....

I am extremely upset now. Looks like Huawei really went with the cheapest possible aluminium they could find. And at least here in Europe the price is still premium. EUR690..
Why does Google always f*ck up some part with their phones..
If you look at his thumbs, you can see he was applying a lot of force. No reviewer has mentioned their phones accidentally bending, so I wouldn't worry too much yet.
