best case - Verizon Samsung Galaxy Note II

anyone have the incipio feather case? looking at getting this and just seeing if anyone has any complaints on it?

I have the Incipio feather shine in black. Its by far my favorite case that Ive bought so far for this phone. The fit is great as are the look and feel. Its not as slippery as my Ringke Slim case was either. I would recommend it.

Ordering it now, thanks!

How badly does this case attract lint? I see a lot of dual layer cases and stay away from them for this reason; they all seem to use super soft silicon that is a lint magnet. I am pretty picky too, I hate taking it out of my pocket and having it lined with lint.

I have the samsung flip case and I'm loving it so far. Thin and as protective as I need.

I don't know about the feather, but I have the dual shine from incipio and it is horribly designed. I can't recommend it.

I have the body glove case from sprint. this is the best case by far, textured, matte back, so I'm not going to drop it. I had the flip case, but that was too much for me. I Also had a silicone case from Amazon, but that was too glossy and it was a fingerprint magnet.

Thinnest case with drop protection?

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 like it tight

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.

Of the TPU cases I've gotten, the Cruzerlite Androidified cases are the tightest fitting, very snug.

I'm using some no-name, smoked white sorta TPU with grippy sides. It's tight. Lips over that silly white edge bit around the screen beautifully.
Pain in the ass to get off, though

Qmadix Legacy Case for DNA

This case looks pretty cool. If someone has it, let me know how much bulk it adds to the phone. Looks like it adds quite a bit.

I like the styling of the case more than the "envelope" design on the back of the Otterbox cases. But I don't like the fact that these are only renders of the cases. Show us some actual pictures.
I just got the case, and I actually like it, I normally don't like cases but it seems to feel good on the phone. I posted a few pics of it. The one downfall is that it covers the back notification LED.

the side rubber indents make it grip when holding it, also the middle is recessed but it helps with gripping it, I tend to drop my phone often but havent yet with this one. (had it since day one 11/21) it feels really good, very solid.

Is the inside layer real flexible at all? I've got a skinomi screen protector on and it's too thick for the diztronic case I have. Gonna need a case that can fit over the edges of the screen protector. Thanks for the pics. Beautiful case.

Slim armor view versus UAG?

Hello. I had a UAG for my note 2 and liked the protection but wouldn't mind a slimmer case For the note 3. The product details lead me to believe the spg Slim armor view is thinner and will still protect against drops. Can anyone verify if that is accurate?
It's decent protection. The uag offers more protection though. I had the UAG and decided to try the slim armor. I really like it. It's thinner and lighter. Lip is alot smaller on the slim armor but I've got a tempered glass so I'm not worried.

UAG is so much better looking. Trust me go for it. It doesn't add that much bulk and now its on sale you can get one for 23 $ only. Slim armor is also glossy which I don't like.
Personally the UAG for me. Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2554415

UAG vs Seidio dilex

Anyone have any thoughts on the differences between these two cases? I like the UAG and own it but the kickstand on the Seidio is appealing. Is the seidio also thinner? Thx!!!

My decision choosing the Seidio dilex was that I wanted a holster. I just harry anything in my pockets. Love the look of the UAG though.

Thnx. How does the kickstand work out?
i like mine. the only minus is that the kickstand doesn't rotate...but in landscape mode, it is great. the case is pretty good as well. i had one for my note 2 and loved it, so got one for note 3 and am a happy camper.
