I am going to buy a bumper, but all of the metal ones that I see are super expensive, like $70.
I really love the look of the chrome Sweet Armor, but it's super expensive. Does anyone know of something similar that won't break my piggy bank?

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?

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.
Hey guys
Has anyone come up with a thin case with a kick stand. I see allot of them availible for Verizon phones and the iPhone but nothing for our phone or any sprint phone.
Something like this .....
Yes know the camera might be in the way partially but i think it can still be done

This is also the seido (sp) case just rebranded. It looks sharp but the kickstand is actually pretty crappy. It feels solid at first but few months of use, it gets too worn out to support any weight. I'm kind of disappointed. Loved it at first though.

I have been rocking the Seidio hev3d
I have had the Seidio hev3d for about 8 months and it is a great case. Cheap sturdy case and is easy to put on and take off if battery pull is necessary.

I also have that case and been having it for about a year but i droped it once and case craked. It did serve it perpise of not damege my phone but 3 months later itcracked from the power side so now the case its a bit loose on top i am still thinking of bying this case again but i would like it cheper than 30.00 dollars witch i paid at amazon.
Seidio hev3d was what I went with in the end after a long look. Others look tacky and cheap. This isn't the thinnest but definitely the best.
If I do drop my phone, something I have never done and we are going back 12 years or so ! I know that this should keep it in one piece.

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.

The original Galaxy Note battery cover is too "smooth" and I am afraid that one day it will SLIP out of my hand and break the phone. Does anyone have any recommendation for a replacement battery cover?
I searched eBay, Amazon, etc. but haven't seen anything. I see a LOT for Galaxy Note 2, though.
Let a little kid play with it for a little bit. I promise it will have a nice tacky feel afterwards. lol. And it costs you nothing and the kids gets entertained. It's a win/win.

are you serious???
i can personally state that gel cases are durable, non bulky, and provide the best grip IMO. I get a gel case for every phone i own. I havent seen any custom doors outside of the extended battery covers. I suggest a gel case.

Thanks for the recommendation, but I don't want a case since it won't fit the OEM Note Car Dock.
What I am looking for is a battery cover replacement that's not too smooth like the original one. I had one for the International Note and it was great, but it won't fit the AT&T Note.
I have one like the original one, kinda etched feeling like. Of You want ill dig it up and send it to you.

This case is just a chinese made case. Ebay and Amazon both sell them and the ratings on Amazon are not good. I would pass only because of the price point. Looks cool though.

I don't want to this item because I am happy with my cover. But it is nice looking.
As my experience, all kinds of metal bumper or sealed aluminum case will reduce mobile signals to some extend, I will pass them except crazy on it...
