Took the leap, bought google glass. Anyone else out there with Glass? How do you like it? I like it, but I don't love it. Hoping that things get better at the end of the day. I've sideloaded apks and also been able to have fun with it. Anyone else out there care to chime in?

Has anyone gotten a look at the Best Buy case that comes free with the Note pre-order?
I was wondering if there is a screen protector included. I'm going to assume there is none unless someone has seen one.
Assuming it's the same as the international (which I believe it is), I don't see a screen protector.

Thanks for the link, that was the worst review ever, but it was good to see what I'm getting. It looks very similar to the pics on BB. I really want a rugged case(i.e. Ballistic, Trident, Otterbox). But I'll take what I can get.
NFC
Does anyone know if NFC will work with this case on?

That's a very good question as it seems the nfc antenna is located in the back cover. I doubt it will work.

Best Buy rep
I stopped by best buy and asked the rep if the case would support NFC she looked at me like a deer in headlights and had no idea what NFC was she got another rep and asked him and he said NFC is on the Note but does not work yet I I told him I knew that already and wanted to know if the free case worked with NFC since the antenna for it is on the back of the case that comes with it he had no idea and asked his manager 15mins later the manager came out and said he had no idea yet he would think it would but could not say for sure since they aren't here yet he tried to find more info on his computer but found nothing so Best Buy doesn't even know yet the free case isn't turning out to be that much of a plus anymore.
The fact it's a flip case basically eliminated any interest I might have had in the BB deal for the Note. I can understand having a flip case for a tablet....but for a phone, I would find it as a hassle. I'm still gonna settle for a regular case, most likely a TPU one.

We got no info on the actual flip case from corporate. It was a deal struck with samsung and bby corporate and has nothing to do with the retail level associates. Right now they are sitting in a warehouse waiting for distribution. Im sure they will be in before release. If they are there by wednesday I can give everyone a definite answer. After that Im on vacation
I doubt these were made for the ATT model. If they are the ones that were already made, it will not work as the nfc is not in the back like the ATT model.
One the bright side it was free and nfc is not yet enabled.

Same here. Flip case with a pen device just screams of the original Palm PDA devices.
No way I can bring myself to use one of those again.
Best Bbuy Mobile
The people at Best Buy Mobile are way beter than the people at Best Buy they let me know my Note was in although the free Flip case was not they still could not tell me if it has the NFC contacts on it since they have not seen them but were very nice even though I have been pestering them for days guess I just have to wait and see don't know if I should get a case off internet that has the NFC contacts or wait till the free flip case is in

+1 on that. punctuation is not poison. You can safely use it!
The best buy case does in fact support nfc. However I tried to download Google wallet and it said its not a supported device :-( I knew this would happen but still sad. But yes I love my note and the case beat buy gave me with it!

I played with one at AT&T for about 20 minutes today and I really didn't like the flip case on it. It felt very cheap. I've played with another one from someone's international Note and it was much sturdier. I hope the one Best Buy gives out is more solid, but I got a feeling its not.

Felt like cheap cardboard to me. Like I could have easily bent or snapped it. The one I played with for the international note had hard plastic and looked nice as well. Hopefully the best buy one will be like the international one and not the cheap crap I saw at the AT&T store.
I'm going on vacation this summer and wanted to start thinking about a case for the note.
I am going to Universal Orlando and also to the Bahamas. So think theme parks, roller coasters, waterparks, and snorkeling.
I know this isn't an iphone and we don't have the same options that they do, but anyone have any ideas about this?
TIA
Based on your vacation description, this is a tricky situation.
I forget that company that can 'water-proof' certain phones...but I'm not even sure about their overall work quality.
Normally, I would say just use a thin TPU kind of case. But in your case, I would probably look for a more bulky kind of case that offers more protection.
However, if I was you, I would bring along an older backup phone that can be considered more "disposable"...if you do have 1. But if you prefer to bring the Note, basically the main thing you can do is to be careful with it.

I have already contacted them to see if they will do the Note. I will let you all know if they will or not.
I would take my backup phone.

I use a aluminium case with my Evo 3D with no noticeable interference. Its definitely a cool idea you should go for it
Can't help you with the case but god damn that's a sexy valve cover. I've seen neo-chrome lug nuts but nothing like that lol. Would look bad ass if I could do that to my LS1 intake manifold...
I wanna try this too badly to worry about reception atm, but hopefully it isn't too bad.
And you gotta see the valve cover in person. SICKKK! I saw a black genesis with aurora (the company that does this coating calls it aurora) coated wheels, and it's the most unique thing ever! It costs a pretty penny tho.
I'm only doing cause I'm a good friend so I can cut most of my costs down significantly, otherwise it just wouldn't be financially sensible to spend that much money on a case.
I haven't gotten around to buying the case yet tho cause I'm still spending money on my car =D haha
cool

hey guys i sent ballistic an email to ask them if they had any plans as far as waterproof cases seeing as how life proof only does iphones and this is the email i got back:
My email to them:
hello!
i bought your htc evo hc case when it first came out and love it and now am the proud owner of a sg maxx for my evo lte and am loving that also but i have a question about future cases. im sure by now you guys have heard of the company "LifeProof" who makes the water proof cases for the iphone, and there in lies the problem, only the iphone. i have a friend who owns one of their cases and envy his ability to just not care if his phone falls in the pool or anywhere else where liquid resides. so my questions is, do you guys have any plans on making water proof cases in the future? i honestly would be willing to pay $100 for a water proof case for my evo lte seeing as how with that investment would come the peace of mind of knowing that i wont be paying $100 in insurance to assurion in the future to replace my phone because i tripped in a puddle haha. If you have any info or anything else regarding a water proof case from you guys please let me know.

There is hope that we may soon be able to throw our phones in pools and not give zero f*cks haha :victory:
In would never intentionally drown my poor phone but this seems like good news if true
Count me in, I'm comfortable with my case at work, but I refuse to carry my phone with me while working in the rain. Would be nice to not have to worry about it.

Anyone know where I can get a screw for the i717. I need it for the back plate. It's bugging the hell out of me knowing one screw is missing. OCD I know. I don't want to try ebay because the last time I ordered one for an iphone, it was some cheap stuff.
I would be taking out another screw and take it to the hardware store.

Thanks guy. Hardware store won't have screws this small. I think the smallest I ever seen was 4-40 at OSH.
Thanks for the tip Greg. I sent them an email as they didn't have one listed.

Your welcome ..
I was a bit Leary buying from them at first, as I am from most online retailers, but with these folks, I've been treated beyond good at every turn.
Top notch customer service, and fast delivery at very fair prices.
One note, you are buying from an international retailer based in China....But
They Fedex direct ship, and never miss a beat.
I continue to use and refer them, and prices for parts are sweet as well....g
I have had great experience with tvmall.com
Why not open your old phone and 'borrow' a screw? It works for the Army. The Supply seargent had a technical name for it. Anyone?
hi, you can maybe try getting a screw from another device your not using any more or you can look for one in an electronics store. i think it would be pretty hard to find just one small screw online.
