The body of the One is sleek and you don't want to hinder the look of it. But most of us probably wants to keep it looking it like that, so I was wondering what kind of cases people have. I just ordered the Diztronic TPU aluminum grey version for the One because people have been say its see through and adds minimal bulk to it.
Don't have it yet, but will update when I do receive it.
Share what you have and what you like about it. Also if you want, share a picture. Thanks guys
Poetic Atmosphere. Great balance of protection and letting the style of the One come through.

I heard that the Poetic Atmosphere interferes with the IR blaster because the power button is covered. How do you cope with it or do you not use the iR blaster?
Otterbox Defender.
It's currently the only case I would trust considering how thick it is. If I accidentally drop my phone with a flimsy silicone skin on it, that's not going to do a thing to protect it.

When I received mine two days ago it included a note that in mid-May they will automatically send out an updated version that solves the IR issue and that there was nothing I had to do. That's pretty awesome commitment to quality and customer service.

The Poetic case is made of pieces of polycarbonate plastic bonded with hard rubber (silicone?) will. Polycarbonate is nearly bullet proof (used in safety glasses) and the hard rubber absorb impacts. The fit is very precise and tight, so I wouldn't expect the phone to fly out of the case when dropped.
i alternate between a cruzerlite TPU case and an otterbox cummuter. i like how the cruzerlite still keeps the phone slim but i feel more protected when i have the otterbox on.

I have a cruzerlite as well and an incipio. But will be installing a full body skin soon. Cases take away the beauty of the One
I first had a poetic atmosphere but recently switched to an otterbox commuter which i really like
I just bought the Incipio feather shine at my local Fry's. It's not as good protection as an Otterbox but it does protect the back and should prevent scuffs if dropped on a corner.
I bought the Bear Motion case. I like the texture of it a lot.
Wow....you all have cases that make mine sound crappy. I have a *Speck with the extra gripping. It's not bulky. Definitely hard to get the phone in and out of. It was this or the …there one AT&T had. And I don't remember what that was

That would be the casemate tough case. It's what i am running and it's great. Still maintains a sleek profile while offering great protection. I couldn't bring myself to put a huge otterbox on the one, and this I feel is the next best thing.
The only thing I dislike about it is that the cutout for the camera is larger than it needs to be, and if something were to press hard into your pocket it could get to the camera glass.

Yeah and I like the grip it offers. I agree about the camera cutout. Also makes the volume buttons useful

if you get any case with black silicone (trident, case-mate, otterbox, incipio, etc), the lint will be obviously visible. you can remedy that by getting a colored one

Definitely an awesome case. Am using the Matte Black version.
Cost is real good, and doesn't make the phone look bulky at all, easily slips in and out of the pocket
You may initially feel that since there is no volume rocker cut-out it would be difficult to use (some video reviews also show that), but trust me it does not feel uncomfortable at all. On the contrary, the divided volume rocker on the case actually has a nice feel to it.
Checkout this portion of a video, should give you a fair idea

Just ordered the case-mate tough case.
$28 after 20% off with '4MOM' code.
I had a hard time deciding between this one and the trident aegis case, but decided the extra $8 is worth the peace of mind of knowing the three pin holes around the camera aren't blocked and I think this case looks a bit slimmer. There isn't much information out there for the Amaze version, but the Sensation tough case is well reviewed. So I am hoping the Amaze one will be the same.
Will post some pictures when the case gets here.

The case is good for what's it for. I like it so far but I'm not satisfied. The only problem I'm having is having to fold the cover back when I have to use it like text messaging. It's a hindrance.
Exactly ,the folding cases make things difficult
Sent from my Galaxy Note
I ordered a different case from Zenus and another wallet case but in black with the stand on the back. It's the same price as the brown nubuck leather case. And one of their graffiti silicon case. I'll be switching between whichever I feel like using.
I'm planning on going completely naked. No cover, no case except maybe a belt case. Not sure I'll want to keep this in my pocket.
The $7 TPU cases are quite thin, at least until you find something you like. You can also order a Neoprene sleeve or the OEM sleeve to keep it in while in your pocket. I ordered them and the Neoprene one was $4 and the OEM 25
I tried one of the "ultra thin tpu cases" for sale on ebay and so far, I'm loving it. The case really is ultra thin, and mine is clear frosted so it also adds a bit of grip.
Note, it offers zero face protection, and only covers up to the chrome bezel on the sides.

The empire case, i use when I'm at home. It's almost like not having a case at all. Protection for the left and right sides and the back are there. Top and Bottom are open as well as the front of the screen.
When I go out of the house, I transfer to the Zenus Wallet Case:

It's great for going out...protects the phone reasonably well and I don't have to carry a separate wallet. Oh it the case itself looks AWESOME!
My case mate case for the galaxy note finally shipped and I have to say the case feels amazing in my hands, it also keeps the thin feeling of the phone. It feels extremely durable as well.

I had one of these for my Inspire. I liked the feeling of the plastic as it gave some good grip but I hated the rubber portion. It collected everything including lint and it was way to tacky.
Which Case Mate is that? How does it go? Is the first layer silicone and the outer lay plastic?
Right now I have the Reiko Hybrid case -- very durable, but very heavy and thick. I'm debating getting the Case Mate, Ballistic, or Trident.

How's the weight/thickness compared to the Reiko Hybrid? Considering it was only $9.00, I got it as more of an in-between "holder" to wait off for the better companies.

Its extreemly light as if almost the case isn't there but enough to tell there's weight added. $40 is pricey but considering the quality, look and overall feel id probably choose between this and seido! The seido case looks nice i hope somebody posts a review soon

I was hoping this would be the last case I bought for my gNote. I found the Case-Mate Tough on sale on Amazon for $17.99 (free shipping) way better than the $40 retail!
My gNote is not insured so I wanted a case that would provide a good degree of protection without adding too much bulk. I felt this case would meet this need. It has a good grip and solid construction.
My only gripe is the the silicon is not tight on the edge on the top and bottom! Ugg! The hard shell does not hold the inner silicon in place on the top and bottom, the way it does on the sides. When pulling the phone out of my pocket the lose silicone drags/clings. So I think this action may make the silicone baggy/loser over time.

Comments about loose fitting silicone and the pics showing it to be a dust magnet are disappointing. I was really hoping this would do the trick. I have the Reiko Hybrid case. It's protective but it's a monster.
Now that the Candyshell case AT&T wanted $40 for is in the low $20's, I may be revisiting that. I still don't like the glossy back's scratch magnet aspects but its slim and the silicone (TPU?) layer holds tight to the surface of the phone.
I fixed the loose silicone on top and bottom with some double sided sticky tape. Works like a charm!
Now that I have had a chance to use it for a week or so, I have to agree with the OP. It feels very good in the hand and totally secure.

Just got the same one for $16. So far pretty happy with it. Not a huge fan of the gloss finish or the rounded edges, but a squared off look would probably be too bulky. Big fan of the casemate I had on the s2. Maybe they'll come out with something soon. I'd prefer white as well.

People bought the Speck cases from AT&T because its the only case they had out at that time. The case is trash. Rips easily. But I heard that if you got it at a corporate at&t store...they will replace it if it has rips or certain damages. Thats what the sales rep told me the first day it was launched. Anyways I ended up not getting it due to it being really glossy.
-Once you go NOTE, you'd say 4 inches a Joke
already had mine replaced once. 2 weeks later and I have another rip. Wonder if I can get my money back.
I wasn't a fan of the case either. I get a discount on the accessories so it didn't hit my wallet as bad as most but to me, it offers better protection than the active seidio case I bought. I need to have a holster for my phone so being the speck fit in the active holster I'm using that. I was looking at some of the TPU cases but I'm hoping for the surface case to be made for the Note. My Zagg protector hasn't had an issue but I don't ever take the case off.

Yes, the Speck case fits the active holster PERFECTLY. I had an issue with the soft rubber on Seidio Active case peeling back when I snapped it into the holster so I put the Speck back on and it fits just as good if not better then the Seidio case.
Didn't have any problems with the speck. No tearing or anything other than normal wear. Protects better than the stupid trident case I bought. The trident corners want to slip off, and I barely trust it. It's survived drops though.
Any case is better than none.

The Speck case scratches extremely easily, but I haven't noticed any problem with durability, and I think it gives great protection. It's definitely not worth the full list price, though.

I realize this case is two pieces, a silicone piece and an outer hard shell. Is this hard shell metal or plastic? This case looks amazing, I've been eyeballing the red and black one to match the phones aesthetics, but the price is kinda steep. Thanks
Also one last thing, how much space is left around the headphone jack? My headphone jack has a wide plastic surrounding that doesn't allow me to insert the headphones all the way into the port while the case is on.

I also use a screen protector and I found out that the Diztronic fit so snug that it pushed up the edges of the screen protector. If you cut the corners of the screen protector this can remedy this problem. Another issue I found with the Diztronic was the headphone jack. I use Shure SE215 headphones, the jack input is very wide. With the case on the headphones wouldn't stay fully inserted. I did however find it very easy to cut the case around the headphone jack to allow the input to stay seated properly.
I've moved on to the Body Glove Dropsuit, this case is awesome. Like the Diztronic, it looks great, provides superior protection, allows access to the power and volume keys very easily (almost too easy), microphone and speaker cutouts and allows me to use an edge to edge screen protector. I've been using this case for several weeks now.
Note that both the Diztronic and the Body Glove DO NOT have a cut out for the notification light on the back of the phone.
Hope this helps!
Seidio Surface
I got the Seidio Surface case in black (not gonna worry about photos, I'm sure several exist on here or the web), and I am overall happy with it. It fits very nicely, doesn't add a lot of bulk, and all features are visible (lights and stuff).
One thing I am very happy about is the fact that it makes the power and volume buttons a little harder(?) to press. This makes me less likely to inadvertently run the ringtone volume down to silent just by picking up the phone, and I can put it into my backpack or lunch bag without pressing the power button and turning the screen on.
One slight irritation is that it caused the screen protector - which completely covers the screen - to bubble up on the edges where the case touches the screen edge, but that is minor - I could just trim the screen protector a little, if I was so inclined...
I like this case.

I have the Otterbox defender. No worries about the safety of my phone. It also feels thin because it's way thinner than my old bionic case.
