Not sure if this should go in the Q&A or accessories forum. But I am asking a question, so I will post here and a mod can move it if need be.
My girlfriend and I both have the note. I did not like any of the cases at the AT&T store, so I went with a screen protector for now. She chose a pink backplate with a flip to cover the front of the phone and no screen protector. She ran without screen protector on her evo for a while with no issues, but usually carried it in a holster style case that covered the entire phone when not in use. I generally carry my phone in my front pants pocket with nothing else in the pocket.
I've noticed that her screen looks so much clearer and more vibrant then mine. And while I feel a little scared of not using a screen protector, I am jealous of her screen every time I see it. Now mine doesn't look bad really, hers just looks better.
It got me wondering how everyone else protects their screen. Please vote in the poll and feel free to comment as well.
I Use the flip cover with replacement back. No issues whatsoever. Carry it in front pocket sometimes with change or keys. I Try not to make that a habit though. Only issue i have is the lower left hand corner is starting to tattered a little bit.

I didn't get a flip case because it won't really protect the phone from slips and falls. Considering that the screen is in the most danger when being used, a flip case will also be useless then.
I would also avoid screen protectors because they generally look like crap.

I personally refuse to not use a screen protector. So, I'm using a screen protector, extended battery and an aluminum bumper.

Naked for the win. I have a tpu case for rough situations, but it's rarely on my phone. I also have the flip cover but don't use it much. Always been a fan of using my phones naked.
As for screen protectors, I've never used them much because the naked glass feels best.I just make sure to give my phones a pocket of their own. I do end up with tiny scratches over time, but not enough to bug me. I also upgrade once a year using family members' upgrades, so not many scratches accumulate anyways.

No screen protection on mine. I don't like the way they feel. The only thing I changed was I cut apart the flip case that came free with the phone and replaced the back so it wouldn't be so slippery.

You guys are making me want to go nekkid too, but its scary lol
Go for it! Just don't blame me if you break your screen, haha. Other than the screen breaking, which is still a worry even with a case and screen protector, you'll come to realize scratched plastic isn't the end of the world.
I like using phones bare as they were designed. I compare it to sex...feels a lot better without protection but there's always that increased risk...haha =]

I'm not worried about breaking the screen, I am worried about scratching the glass. The way my luck works, I could drop my phone 3 feet onto an asphalt parking lot and have the screen not break, but somehow accidentally kick it and send it skidding face down across the parking lot. I use this analogy because I actually did this with a pair of prescription sunglasses lol.
Hey, I've been having this same delema. Bought the att screen protector, which kills quality. Other than the fear of scratching the screen, I hate how much it picks up finger prints. If I could get a protector that didn't pick up fingerprints and kept the clarity of naked, I'd do that for sure.
Also, how tough is it to actually scratch the screen? I know gorilla glass is sometimes really good and sometimes not, depending on the phone.

I came from an iPhone 3GS with an otter box defender, to an ATRIX 4G with an otter box defender...to this beast. I wanted a case to protect it, but didn't like the way it made the phone feel. I also had an issue with the anti-glare screen protector that ATT pushes in their stores, as they SEVERELY decrease image quality on the screens. I ended up going with some very inexpensive (3 for $5) crystal clear protectors from Amazon. 4 months later and i'm still on the first one with just a few tiny scuffs on the protector. My backplate is beat all to hell, but the rest of the phone (i.e, the screen) is mint.
Go naked but just be careful with the spen it can do damage, little scratches.(barely visible)
My back plate is as good as new and I've had the Note for a while now..
Dang what are you guys doing?? Lol
I only have the metal bumpers installed so its not like its being protected haha

Was just curious to know, is anyone out there rocking their Note 2 in its birthday suit? If so, any scratches yet? I myself have had a screen protector on since day 1 of owning mine whereas my friends that also have it are all naked. Just curious to know if anyone has any serious scratches of their own.

Naked.
I keep mine from things that have a high mohs rating and I stay scratch free.
Naked white with no problems. I think it's the best way to experience the phone.

I agree 100%
Another area of concern was the use of the S Pen on the screen. If that would over the course of its life span leave any surface scratches as well.

I have had a screen protector from day one but I went weeks without a case. Just put the Samsung protective cover on and it is surprisingly thin and light.

I had mine naked for a few months and did see a few tiny scratches appear so covered up. First with a Copter screen protector which sucked!! It made the screen look like ****e. Small text was impossible to read and the S-Pen marked it. I later opted for a very cheap harder plastic no-name protector which is excellent. I have plans to buy a 10 pack and change every other month or so.
The way I see it you preserve the second-hand value if the screen is scratch free. If in two years time you want to sell it for a good price you just need to invest in a new flip-cover remove the screen protector and it's almost like new.
100% all natural.No screen protector. No case. I like the feel and look without bulky protection. I allow the Gorilla Glass 2 to do its thing.
Afterall, its a phone; its going to get used, scratched and dinged. I want to enjoy the complete phone experience in the meanwhile.
Have you seen those cars that had the bra on the front? People removed them only to find out that their paint was now two-toned, and dirt and debris had etched the paint along the edge of the bra, not to mention having a red sports car with a black mask on.
I was naked on every smart phone I've had up until the Note 2. I've always gotten scratches on every other phone no matter how careful I was.
I also have a small hard case on it. I would love to run naked on that too but the smooth back is just begging to slip out of my hand. Plus the case makes it feel more solid and reduces the creeks and growns coming from the crappy plastic Samsung insists on using.

I would be concerned if a plastic pen scratched glass.
In other words, it won't.
The glass with the oleophobic coating is at least 9 mohs.
Without the coating, its still 6.5-ish.
Plastic is around 3 or 4.
No screen protector here, I adsolutely hate screen protectors. I think they ruin the clarity of the screen. But I do have one of those folio style cases so the screen still gets covered when its not in use.

I've been using the Seidio active case and like it, no screen protector. Just ordered a flygrip and will probably rock it naked with that.
Like others have said I won't use a screen protector as I trust the screen plus hate the feel and affect on clarity.
I'm using a cheap tpu case partly for peace of mind of a little protection and partly because it has a built in kickstand that isn't very intrusive and has been pretty handy to have.
I have mine naked, but the first few days of owning it the phone fell upside down on the wooden floor so now I have 2-3 large scratches on the screen from grains of sand
Same set up I run on every phone I've owned:
Verizon slim hard kickstand case, no belt clip
Cheap eBay matte screen protector
I keep my phone in my pocket so I need a slim case. Every since the T-Bolt, a kickstand is a must for me. I absolutely hate clear screen protectors since it always feels like I'm dragging my finger across the screen rather than sliding it. I ended up buying the $12 pack at Big Red since my phone arrived before my China protectors. The cheap matte ones look great, don't smudge, and make the screen silky smooth.

Screen protector I got from Verizon and an all white Androidified case from Cruzerlite. My hands are a little dry so carrying the phone naked (the phone) is slippery in my hands. The case gives me a nice grip to hold on to the phone.

Oops, sorry for the sideways photo.
My typical progression is: get a new phone. Think "I need to protect this thing" and get a case. Rock case for a week or 2 and then hate the extra bulk. Take off case and love the natural feel of the phone.
I followed suit with this phone. Had the flip case ordered before the phone was out. Got the phone and immediately popped the case on. Rocked it for 2 weeks and took it off.
However, I have actually put the case back on because I found usefulness besides the protection. With the phone's size, the case flap provides more area to maneuver it. It also prevents accidental home button presses when the phone is in my pocket.

Ok, I am kinda peeved right now. I bought a Diztronic TPU case shortly after purchasing my Note 2. The thing is just so slippery it screamed for grippy rubbery case. Fast forward a couple months and here I am taking my case off to clean out any dust inside it, only to find tiny pock marks all over the back of my phone. I swear it looks like a few grains of sand or something got in there, but I can feel nothing. I can only conclude even fine dust particles can scratch the back if caught between the battery door and the TPU case. Pretty disappointed my case has done more damage than keeping my phone nekkid ever would have. I baby my gear and this thing now looks like &#!$ on the back.
Anyone else experience this? Any better kind of case I should use when I order my replacement back? Or do I just need to be better about cleaning out the case more than once every couple months?
Thanks...

I have had this issue too. I bought a cheap TPU case off of Amazon while I was waiting for my phone to come from VZW and put it on after I had pkayed with the phone for a day. When it went in the case it was perfect, a week after being in it the battery door has deep scratches, the chrome bezel around the camera is scratched badly and the chrome bezel around the screen is DENTED IN! The case actually covered the bezel around the screen so it wasn't something in my pocket that did it, it was something that magically got in and out of the case. And lemme tell you those scratches and dents are especially noticeable on the Titanium Note 2...
After that I ordered 2 CruzeLite TPU cases, or whatever they call their cases, and thise worked much much better, my phone got no more scratches and was pretty welly protected. I still wanted something a little better though because I was still scared that if I dropped it that it would get badly damaged so when the Urban Armor Gear case was finally released I bought it and couldnt be more happy.
The sides are a way thicker TPU rubbery type material and the back is hard plastic. It gives the phone a more sturdy feel, like you could drop it and barely worry about it getting damaged. The few times I have dropped it didnt hurt the phone or the case, it is a very welly built case and doesnt add much more bulk than the CruzerLite TPU cases did. I would definitely reccomend you try one if you like the way it looks, the black and orange look really snazzy in my opinion, but I have a thing for orange soo....

I'm anal about my gadgets too. But when you put the case back on, you won't see the pock marks. If it still bugs you, just replace the plastic battery cover. That is why I prefer plastic instead of an all-metal body. If the battery cover gets messed up, you can always get another one. You can't fix damage on an all-metal phone like the HTC One. Yes it's a beautiful device, but once it gets the first scratch or ding, it will never be the same. Just like the first door ding on a new car

I've had this issue with previous cases on other phones in the past but not this time. What I did is within the first hour of getting the phone I wrapped it in that sticky wrap that's cut for our phone that they sale on Amazon then I put it in the case. One the phone looks sick wrapped up and two if I ever wanna pull the wrap off I will have a brand new phone with not one single scratch. Cause I found over time plugging a phone in every night in the pitch black before you go to bed eventually scratches around the port but not this time.

Yeah I found replacement covers on Samsung's site for $20. I know there's cheaper alternatives but I am always wary of knock offs. The bigger bummer is the sides of the phone are jacked too and ya can't replace those. Sucks. I was hoping to sell the Note 2 when the Note 3 arrived, but my resale value just took a nose dive.

I bought the Incipio Case LGND and have no regrets. You can find it on their website here http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...-cases/samsung-galaxy-note-ii-lgnd-folio.html or spend a little less and buy it from Amazon. However, I'd pay the extra extra money because it comes with a screen protector, cloth and lifetime warranty if purchased directly from the manufacturer. I don't have any issues with debris getting in between the back cover of the phone and the case. The phone is easy to place into the case and take out.
Always clean your case. At least ecery other day. Sabd and little dust particle will eventually get in there no matter how tight your case is.
As for me, I put on Xtremeguard back protector since I had the white version. I figured I can always peel the back and get higher resale value.
Just wanted to share - this is the best case I've ever had.. It fits the HTC One perfectly and really shows off the design (the frosted one at least). The price is right too: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BZXBGG8/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Only thing about that case is that it gets scuff marks too easily, I had one on my phone for a week and it was scratched up and had a lot of scuff marks on it, so now I have the poetic flip case and I love it!

Just ordered a Lime Green Goospery case, hopefully the "shimmer" effect on it isnt too bad... lol
Was also considering that one too, cause I like the TPU cases with nice solid colors, that create a full lip around the front (looks more complete and better than the ones that just wrap the corners or sides a bit)
I also had a clear one, but as noted got too scuffed up too fast. Now have Seidio Surface with kickstand.

Otterbox defender series case in realtree and green. This is a great case for protecting your phone but it also hides this very nice looking phone.
Dust gets between the screen protection and the screen of the phone thru the holes for the speakers and the back/home buttons. I work in a very dusty environment and this is kind of a pain.
Screen protection also takes some getting used to, it makes the touchscreen....different. once you get used to it, it's not bad but their is a learning curve.
All in all it's a good case with a little to be desired. If I had to do it all over again, I would probably do it again. Their is no perfect solution except maybe a phone that doesn't need a case so this is maybe a little better than the rest.

Honestly, I want to see this case after a couple of months of use. Clear cases turn dull and yellowish with time. Pass!
Received my sg case in the mail today review of what I recieved..upon opening the box I remembered why I haven't purchased a ballistic case in a while..it's the same product ive always expected..being that I'm a mechanical engineer I come into contact with plenty of dirt and dust..but being that a galaxy note has a stylus we will never be 100% dust an dirt proof..screen protecor seems like a nice idea bit it is quite thick and keeps the screen from being very responsive,clip seems to be made of better material than usual so I'm hoping it can withstand some use..rubber body corners protect from drops very well although the material seems to be pretty cheap these days and with just a few on and offs is going to stretch I can already tell..The outer she'll along with the runner body is going to protect your note 3 very well that I can say, rubber rockers are easily accessible and very easy to control, 3.5mm headset covet fits into place with rubber grommet, provides no protection for speaker and stylus so they are completely left exposed which is a downside with this case, I'm not feeling all of the exposed holes with this case so for that reason I am going to be looking for another case that is more contained. One thing i do like about this case is the rear camera protection, the camera is sunk pretty far into the case.If you are just looking for a clip with drop protection and you aren't going to be taking this on and off a lot then this is the easiest way to go
It's a good case until a few weeks from now when the rubber skin stretches out and no longer fits the phone tight. This is the main flaw in this case and the otterbox defender cases. Really too bad...

Never had any issues with Otterbox Defenders, but then again I always wear those big, rugged, army/swat cargo pants with huge pockets. The phone just drops in my pocket, I don't have to push it in. I guess it always depends on people's usage.
You know if the rubber gets stretched out and starts to not fit there's a trick about taking the rubber portion off and sticking it in a pot of boiling or very hot water for a minute or two will supposedly shrink the rubber back down to where it fits snug again at least in my experience with the otterbox defender cases.
I could see that's working..yeah I'm looking forward to the otterbox..I don't take cases off very often so I'm not worried about them getting stretched

^THIS 1000 TIMES. I see all the time people saying it stretches. Boiling WORKS.. maybe too well.

Where and how are people getting these cases, they still "coming soon" from what I can see on ballistics site. I just got an email yesterday, the 29th, about the Shell Gel SG being available, only to learn that people have been ordering them since the 26th...
Looks nice! Last Ballistic case I owned was for the OG Evo 4G. I never had any problems with it stretching, or any Otterbox cases that I've owned for my last 4 phones. I don't wear skinny jeans, or even semi tight jeans for that matter, so maybe not having to push/pull it in/out of pockets has something to do with the fact that I haven't had any issues. Also, both Ballistic and Otterbox offer a lifetime warranty, so if the case ever does happen to stretch out over time you can get it replaced for free...

Great case for people who drop there phone everyday.
If you happen to drop your phone once, the cost of the case is far less than the deductible. I learned this the hard way with my note 2.

yes sir I have a spigen. Tr slim tempered glass I prefer the tempered over the plastic oem ballistic protector it made the screen very unresponsive
How well does this case fit if the included SP layer is not installed?
I have the MIME glass protector installed with mine and there are no fitment issues at all.
