So I bought this case off ebay. It's pretty good I bought it mainly to protect the back leather area so I don't get any scratches I would recommend it. The case comes with a screen protector and a kickstand. Sorry 1st post figured I'd pitch in bought a heavy duty case also soon to come
I bought this case off amazon for cheap and it's surprisingly good. For the price.

its just the design to keep the camera not scratched and very good at that. however just like the luvvitt case it scratched on the back not as bad but still does.

Only thing I don't like is its kinda sharp on the ear when you hold it there for awhile. Might do a little work to it. Any other good cases out there yet? This is the best one so far imo.

I still think Diztronic holds the crown for best affordable case and arguably best case at any price for it's slim profile. It provides a lip around the screen as well as a lip around the camera.
I'd originally ordered the case as a temporary case until my Spigen Neohybrid case came in. But with Spigen screwing around with the ship date I decided to cancel the order completely and simply use the Diztronic case permanently. The quality is excellent and based on pictures of the Neo Hybrid, the Diztronic case is also more compact since the edge conforms to the phone more than the Spigen case does.

Hah I did the same thing. I ordered a case as a "get by" case but ended up liking it a lot.
My NH is "supposed" to ship on the 24th so I guess Ill just wait instead of risking it never getting canceled. I just hope it fits right.
Never thought accessories would be so limited for this phone. My local Verizon store only got 6 note 3's in on the launch day...

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!

@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.

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.

I have one and am quite happy with it. I did cut off the flaps covering the USB and headphone jacks as they drove me nuts.

Does anyone know of a holster that would work with this? I'm really a big fan of the protective covers over the ports as I work in a pretty dusty environment. I have a Seidio surface case and holsterthat I'm currently using, but it has no protection for the ports whatsoever.

I got my Commuter in today and I really like it. It's much sleeker than the Casemate Pop I bought when I got the phone (although I like the Pop, don't get me wrong).
I had Commuters on my 3GS and have one on my 4S as well, so I'm not new to this case, only new to the SGSII version. I like how it flows with the back of the phone (makes pulling it out of my pocket easier since the "hump" at the bottom is still there). I also like how it covers the top of the face...the iPhone version doesn't have that and I like the protection. And it works great with my cheap screen protector (although I'll probably put the Otterbox screen protector that came with it on).
This is definitely a great case for the SGSII since it's highly protective and doesn't add much bulk to the phone at all. The one reason I always go with the Commuter for my phones is the built-in port covers and these don't disappoint.
Highly recommended!
Got my Otterbox Commuter today in the mail as well. Loved it on my Captivate and love in on my SGSII. My favorite case by far.
Getting a ZAGG today as well. Love them too.

Got mine from:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120823457759?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Got it in 4 days.
I'm liking mine. The only gripe I have is that the rubber makes it not slide in and out of a front jeans pocket as easy, kinda sticks to the pocket material.
I just got mine. Seems nice except for the top rubber part doesn't lie flush on the phone. It's like the case is ever slightly too tall or too wide, and it could have been avoided if it were designed be symmetrical instead of having the extra material on the top of the phone.
For clarity, this is what I'm talking about: youtube.com/watch?v=KwNISYXJ3QI&t=3m49s
Kind of a bummer, but I doubt most people will care.
I just wish it had a holster like the defenders do. I love otterbox cases.
I order one of these. Waiting to get it. Seems like a quality item. Any thoughts?

Not a single bubble. It's very nice. It also seems to not collect oil from your hands either.
I got it and I would say it's a perfect fit. To be bubble free depends on your experience applying it. It is no different however from the $3 for 5 pack dry application protectors you find on ebay (rearth comes with 2). I wouldn't have bought it if it wasn't for amazon free 2 day shipping. I don't want to wait 3 weeks for a hongkong seller to mail it.

I got the Ringke Slim. I really like the in-hand feel. Gives the Note just the right "oomph" without adding a ton of bulk.
Keep in mind that this is a very minimalist case -- a lot of people were caught off guard by this. The sides are largely exposed, for example.
Also, the back is not tacky like a TPU case. I added egrips.
The port covers are nice, they come with one extra of each, and they are easily removable if you dont like them. I removed the charger port cover and kept the 3.5mm cover.
FYI it's cheaper on amazon if you have Prime.... http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...=1789&creative=390957&creativeASIN=B0074MQ1T6

Yup. I ordered mine thru prime. You can't beat the $3.99 overnight shipping. I'm waiting on a sd card from Amazon right now.
Just got the rearth and applied it. Perfect fit - it will extend to less than 0.5mm from the edge of the screen if you do it right.
I was hoping the oleophobic properties were better. More fingerprints and friction than I would like.

I too bought the Rearth from Amazon at http://www.amazon.com/Rearth-Samsun...Q1T6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1330046814&sr=8-1
I just applied my screen protector tonight. Got it on the first try. I've installed 10-20 screen protectors before so I have experience.
I bought the Zagg a couple days ago at best Buy and totally screwed it up! What a waste of $22. Never buying Zagg again. Plus, the Zagg screen protector feels a little "sticky" not as smooth as the Rearth.
The Rearth is almost like it's not there. We'll see if it shows as many scratches as the cheap-o ones that come from Hong Kong. I too usually buy those ones for my phones, but I didn't want to wait 3 weeks. There was no U.S. sellers. I figured spending $12 now with free 2 shipping is better than taking a chance at scuffing up the screen before I got the screen protectors from eBay.
I purchased the Slim case from Rearth for my Note also.
I've had three Rearth cases now and also have the vecro keyboard cover for my macbook.
I absolutely love their products. Exactly what they say they are.
The screen protector works, looks, and feels great imo.
Easy to install, crystal clear, perfect fit. I love it.

I have this case and I've got to say that I feel it makes the note too bulky. It certainly adds as much protection as you would ever need although. And maybe I'm doing something wrong but when i take it off, I feel like I am going to break my phone in half. Its very hard to take off which I do often for battery pulls. Ya know?
Anyways. Just ordered some "slim" case off amazon one of the top rated ones. Should be here in a bit and I'll try that one out.

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)

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.
