So after looking and looking, I finally decided to drop the $59 (shipping from their site is free) and get the Gumdrop skin case. I found that I was leaving my tablet at home all the time because I was worried about dropping it, and by the time someone makes one to satisfy my needs to work with the dock too, I'd be looking for another tablet.
So I picked up the military one, in the green from their website. I figured if I didn't like it, I can easily return it.
Item showed up today, they ship Fedex Ground if anyone is wondering, and I ordered it last Thursday. The packaging it comes in is pretty damned sturdy. I'm usually anal about protecting anything I buy, and the packaging it came in was probably a bit overboard.
Getting it pulled apart to get the printed insert out of the actual case was impressive in its own. NOTHING is going to hurt your tablet in this case, other than if you stepped in the middle of it.
Anyways, I wanted to get this thread started, so I can answer any questions folks have about this case. I just got it a few hours ago, and will do a short review this weekend, and a longer term review after a month or so. I'll get you some pictures too of all the parts and how it goes together.
A few initial notes.
1. This thing is THICK.
2. When I opened it, my first thought was, "Get rid of the integrated screen protector". I decided to pull it out, then put it on top of my tablet to see if you can use the touch screen with it on there (it is a "hard" screen protector). The screen picks up your movements PERFECT with the screen protector in place.
3. All cutouts are perfect.
4. The entire device is covered
5. The thick silicone rubber exterior has a hard plastic skeleton that you snap on over your tablet. Then you stretch the exterior over that.
6. The screen cover has a hard plastic frame that snaps into the skeleton, from the INSIDE.
There is no slack, no wiggling, and once you get it in place and push all of the locking tabs from the exterior through the skeleton, it looks like your tablet was BUILT this way. Amazing.
My only cons so far...
1. I wish the screen cover snapped in from the outside. Not that I'll ever probably take it off, but it would be nice to have the option.
2. No kickstand. With the plastic skeleton, I see no reason they couldn't have integrated a kickstand like the Incipio cases.
I am still holding out hopes for someone to make something like this that leaves a option to connect your dock. A detachable cover at the bottom and a matching case for the dock would fix it all.
Also, I'm kind of surprised no one has a dock to tablet extension cable yet. That would actually make this really nice. With a kickstand.
LOL
Okay, I'll get more info soon, get me your questions if you have any folks.
cool review, got a link by chance?

Amazon has them - http://www.amzn.com/dp/B005FVDVIW
And the manu page - http://www.gumdropcases.com/tablet-cases.html
I can't really tell the difference between the military and regular ones - I'm eyeing up that red/black model. Thanks for the review.
If they made this case that fit both the TF and dock, i would buy it
Is there any kind of buffer between the hard plasktic screen protector and the screen? My experience with hard plastic screen protectors is that sometimes small objects or dirt gets caught between the screen protector and screen. With use this trapped dirt starts to scratch the screen. You might also consider getting a stick-on screen protector as well.
I saw a review where there was a question about how this case might make the device retain heat. Do you notice any overheating?
i have the same case and think it is build like a tank and everything the OP says it is. i have not noticed any overheating at all. a lot of people were saying how ugly it is, i think it is really cool looking in person, i have the same OD green military version

My priorities for selection was protection, functionality & "looks". I doubt I'll invest in the keyboard/dock; I'm essentially wanting a larger smart phone, LOL
My only nit with it...is the images make the green look more pastelly versus a darker tone...which IMO, is more in line with a "military" green. But I guess the tone makes it a bit more fashionable. I can live with it.
Great lil review. Thank you for reaffirming my choice.
After reading hundreds of forum posts, watching many youtube reviews, and spending hours of silent contemplation with Buddhist monks, I still can not decide between the Otterbox Commuter, Seidio Active, and the Incipio Silicrylic. They all seem fairly similar, with a few key differences, and since I know many of you have owned at least one of these, I could use your input.
First and foremost the reason I am buying the case is to improve the function of the power and volume buttons. In fact, I switched back to the standard battery from the extended because none of the cases I could find really addressed those button issues. I'm sure they all do a sufficient job of protection, so my main concerns are fit and button improvement.
The otterbox and the incipio clearly show protruded buttons that would appear to help with that situation. Can anyone comment on the seidio's buttons? Also, the incipio seems like its a bit loose. Having held an iPhone with the case on, it didnt feel snug at all. This seems to be the case ( ) with the Rez as well.
In terms of looks, I like the OB the best, but it also seems the bulkiest and I'm not so sure about the port covers. As for the seidio, I've read about peeling finish on the back cover. I'm not sure anyone's had it long enough to have experienced it, but I AM hoping you can weigh in on the camera. The lens looks restricted by the back cover.
The last factor I'm using to decide between the three is the lip around the screen. It should be big enough to protect the screen from a faceplant, but I'm also worried about it restricting the use of the screen toward the edges.
I appreciate any input you have, and I'm hoping others find this information useful in making a decision.

My vote is Seido. I've owned the Otterbox, but not Incipio. As far as quality of the holster, nothing compares to the Seido. Just stronger and seems to last forever. The buttons are easier to use on the Seido than the Otterbox. The Otterbox is slightly less bulky, but it's negligible at best. I have 2 Seidos, one red and one blue. I have yet to experience any peeling from the plastic. I've thrown it in bags, stuffed it in pockets. It just seems to hold up nicely. The lip is nice on the Seido. It's about the same as on the Otterbox but it doesn't inhibit use of the screen like the Otterbox can. The Seido is made really well where you can actually push the rubber aside if you need to get really far over. I was actually afraid that this would stretch the rubber, but this thing has been solid and hasn't stretched at all. I can't say the same about my Otterbox.
Both are amazing cases. I think the Seido looks a lot better once you add in the different colors. The blue is gorgeous and the red matches the phone perfectly. Neither the Otter or the Seido do anything to inhibit the camera. But I would still go with the Seido based on build quality of the clip/holster and the quality of the case itself. Just my 2 cents. Buy it, you won't regret it.
EDIT: I also change my case every day, so it's gone through some serious tests for me. Every time I put my Seido back on, it's like the first time I got it. The plastic is just super strong and the rubber won't stretch. Seriously, I'll never buy another brand of case again if I can help it. (And no, I don't work for Seido )
EDIT 2: Here is my review of a few cases including the Seido Active and the Otterbox. This was before I purchased the clip for the Otterbox, but you get the idea.
And here are some pics of the red one.

+ 1.
The buttons are actually easier to use with the case than without it.
No issues with the camera lens
Great feel. Not too bulky and a solid, tight fit. I have all the confidence in the world that the phone would be protected if I dropped it.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
I'm the opposite if the first reply, had the otterbox, upgraded to the incipio. To me the otterbox was too slick and way too big. It made the rezound bigger than my wife's thunderbolt with an incipio. I do like the port covers on otter box, but I also like to use a car dock, and you can't have both!
The incipio has been great over the two months I've had it. I would reccoment it. On an off easily, and it looks nice. The screen protector doesn't have cut outs for the camera or light sensor (which has no impact for me) but is very robust.
There is a little bit of a stretching if the silicon layer for me, but I use a really tight arm band for running and it pulls on it pretty bad. I don't think it would be the case if I didn't abuse it like that.
You should probably just buy both!

Thanks for the quick responses.
Wasabi I almost just PMd you my questions, what with your previous reviews and all (badass wallpaper, btw), but I thought there might be more people asking the same questions. You mentioned that the power button was still flush. Would you say that its about the same functionality as naked, or better? Like I said...thats basically my #1 concern. Also the camera cutout looks way better in your pics than it does on the Seidio website.
Also Jive, a guy at work said the plastic of his Incipio was really brittle. I told him better that plastic than the phone, but have you noticed any cracking or chipping?
seidio active is the way to go. The incipio case is garbage. It cracked the first time I went to put it on. The otter box is just huge and far too bulky. I'm sure its a good case, I don't have it but my brother in law does. Sometimes the silicon part slips a bit near the top, its like they didn't make a proper fitting mold. I personally think the seidio is the best looking of all of them too. I don't have the seidio case because I use the extended case or I would use it.

Thanks..I had that wallpaper forever The power button is flush, yes, but there's like a cutout for it. I'll post a pic in a second. It's much easier to press than without the case. The volume buttons are muuuuuch easier. So power button naked would be like a 5/10 for ease of use. With the case it's 7.5/10. Volume buttons are like 4/10 naked. With the case they're easily 10/10. And yes, there's no obstruction of the camera with the case. I love this case. It's easily the best one I've purchased for any phone, and I'm kind of a case freak.
EDIT: Here are the pics. You can see what I mean by flush. It doesn't protrude like the volume buttons. But it does have the nice cutout so it's very easy to push. And ignore how dirty the phone is. lol
EDIT 2: You need anymore pics or anything, just let me know. About to leave in a minute, but I'll be back later and can take some different angles if you need me to.
I'm right with Wasabi on this. Had the Seidio since the week it came out. The rating that Wasabi put on the buttons is pretty much spot on. They don't protrude, but make the buttons a lot easier to manipulate than naked. The fit is nice and it looks great on the phone. The lip on the front is perfect for protecting the screen. I have had it get in the way trying to place letters on the very edge while playing words. It will stretch out of the way and springs right back in to place though. I haven't had any peeling or anything on the back. I have noticed the edges of the silicon getting a little glossy. This is to be expected though since I take it in and out of my pocket a thousand times a day! Best case I've had on a phone.
wow, looks like I'm getting the Seidio. Thanks for the help!
Good call on getting the seido, I have the white one and I love it!

Just remember with any of these cases and the camera, you will lose all of your low light capability. The flash ports aren't setup properly so you will have white half images.

Umm, what? Do you own the Seido or Otterbox Commuter case? I've never had any issue with the flash or photos in general ever. What are you talking about?
Never had any picture issues. Flash works fine.
Another +1
No issues at all with the camera.
KORM via the beast known as the Rezound.
Just throwing my weight behind the Seidio. I have the gray on gray Incipio and it is definitely looser. (Anyone want to buy it?)
Actually, my favorite is the Seidio Surface (because it will slide into a side leather pouch), but if you're looking for more protection, go Seidio Active. It goes in and out of the holster quite nicely as well.
can somebody post some more pics of Seido Active?

Hello
Have any of you tried the TRIDENT AEGIS case for the ATRIX 4G. It surely looks great and functional, but I'm not sure abut the build quality as it can be docked along with the phone. Please post your review and pictures
Sure!
Just ordered from their site, and look very promising, JUS THE WAY I WAS EXPECTING A CASE TO BE for the Atrix! (And let me tell you I own at least 6 cases each one 30+ f*** bucks)
Once I get it delivered, will upload a modest review and some pictures attached in HD dock and Lapdock, (´cause of course, it won´t fit car dock)
My primary case is an Active Case from Seidio (such a fantastic combo) along with its Holster Clip. However, taking my Atrix out of the case for car dock navigation or simply hd dock is a pain to the a-....
OK! I remember! (this mojitos won´t help that out... however, mmmmm!) The point of this case for me is to get it fit in the holster clip from seidio active without the case for sure, using trident´s.
Will let you know!
ok, let us know, i just felt in love with the nice "man solid appeal"of the case
Think it twice
Hey guys,
As you know I ordered this case some time ago, and just received it. And you know what? I´m not in the mood to make a review of it, at the second attempt to open the flap to engage the media/dock mode, one of the strings just broke up, the bottom one, so easy (and I´m a very careful person regarding these matters) without forcing it at all or aplying so much pressure.
So if you want to try for yourself, go for it BUT PLEASE, excercise the most delicate usage if don´t wanna go my way.
So sad...
trident aegis
First, this case is on sale at Amazon for $10 including shipping!!
I am impressed with the quality and feel. This origionally sold for around $35 and you get what you pay for. It comes with a screen protector (a dry one) also a covering for the camera lens. I have a plastic plug for the earphone jack I got off ebay for $1.
This is a hard polycarbonite case, not the soft flimsy type, and it is thin yet sturdy and feels and looks great. So far I love it.
If you place your thumb on the center back logo when opening, it opens easily.
If I find any problems or any disappointments I'll post here. But for $10 you can't go wrong.
I'm sorry to hear about your bad experince with the case but so glad you are telling about.
There seems to be mixed thoughts on the case. Decided to get the seidio surface as I only hear positive feedback on this.
CK
Yeah mine broke at the hinge after a couple of weeks too.
best case
I've had almost every case made for the Atrix. The Aegis is by far definitely my favorite because it is small, neat, nice materials, feels good, looks great. Yes the hinge is a bit delicate, but if you CAREFULLY open the case you can avoid breaking the hinge. And even if you break it you can still use the case depending on how bad it breaks. The case is made from a hard polycarbonite material, not a soft rubbery silicone which I got very tired of over time. These cases are on sale on Amazon for $10, down from the regular $30.....cheap. I bought 2 of them just in case. Comes with a dry screen protector and a cleaning micro fiber cloth. Also comes with a camera lens cover but that added fog to the picture when using the flash so I don't use that. This case put new life into my Atrix so I am happy for the time being. I bought silicon covers for the ports off Ebay for a few bucks to keep out dust. Anyway just my opinion on things.

Alright, The case the box came is in is kind of girly, anyways the quality of the case is amazing! It doesn't feel like it was cheaply made at all. It doesn't add too much bulk and I can still fit it in my skinnys(Levi's 511 Skinny 29 x 30) front pocket. The buttons are easily accessible even the the volume button being covered by the front flap it is still easy to press / locate since the case has a steep cut out for the volume buttons. Aswell as the S-Pen being so easily accessible. An added perk i liked about this case is that the speaker hole is actually covered by its own mesh. It also has an accessory hole so you could attach an accessory / lanyard to it. The Magnetized kick stand does not interfere with signal(atleast none i can tell).

Zenus cases are the best I've seen so far for the Galaxy Note. I was thinking of getting this one as well but the color combinations just don't do it for me. Also, there's not cutout for the front speaker so it would be a little awkward to have to hold the front leather part back every time. I like that the case clips onto the metal part on the side and doesn't rest on the top of the phone so that a screen guard will thankfully be left untouched. I also love that it has a stand (The only reason I'm not getting the Zenus Masstige Stripe Case). I was wondering though, when the stand is set up, does the little latch (idk what it's called lol, the little thing used to clip on to the front cover to close the case) hide a little part of the screen since presumably, it'll be hanging down a little bit?
EDIT: Ordered it lol. It may have its flaws but it's the best I could find at its price range.
I have one of these (different colors, but this color looks great).
They are extremely high quality. As good or better than Vaja, for instance.
I've posted this before, that make sure you pay more and get the leather ones, as they have a few lines and some of the lines aren't as good quality.
This particular case is just great. The flap is a tad annoying but well worth it overall.
Note: one thing worth mentioning is that they are very light also.
would it be okay to use this case with a FULL skin applied? Ie. sides and back??
i'm sure the front would be okay, but just wanted to see if the sides of the phone with skin be okay.....
i've been looking at cases that have the flip cover, but they all look like it would peel off the side skins..... this one looks like it like it might be okay.

Hmmm...that's a tricky one. Obviously, it clips in tightly and securely so it might damage the skin during insertion and removal but once it's sitting in there, as long as you don't constantly remove it, it should be fine. I would recommend going to a store and testing out either this case or similar leather cases, but then again, if you harm the skin in the process, then this whole discussion is useless lol. On another note, why use a skin? The note is such a beautiful sleek beast. I wouldn't want to hide away any of the sides or take away from the beautiful protruding glass. That's why I hate my current Capdase Jacket XPose and am going for this case. Just increases the beauty XD. Anyways, yes, back on topic, I wouldn't recommend using a skin with this cover but hopefully someone who's actually tried it will reply.
Side-note: I ordered the Wine-Red / Dark Brown version

These Zenus cases look great and seem very usable. But the downside is that they have a magnet at the back that interferes with S-pen functions (not with the signal). Check in the screen area in front of the magnet by trying to draw several long thin lines with the SPen that cross this area. That case was a money waste for me...

I got these symptoms after a couple of days usage. I contacted the dealer and got a substitute with Capsule Stand Slide Series - White / Lime
When I got my Note off CL came with the Eel leather case. It's slick but I wish it was the capsule.

Anyone find any good tpu cases?
I found a couple on Amazon but most with bad reviews. Most complaints were that the cases do not fit.
I found this one.
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00I86GGII/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_22zhtb0CC8DKH
It has no reviews yet and I bought it ...I don't have it yet... But let's hope it's good.
I have this one. It fits. It's snug, but it fits. The buttons are pretty hard to press though. It will do until some other options come out I guess!
If I could have any case for this device, I would want a Gumdrop Bounce Skin.
My wife has one for her Ipad air with a glass screen protector and there is nothing like it. Survives drops and a 5 year old, feels great to touch, sticks to your hand so you can use if one handed without a strap, sticks enough to a table or whatever so you can just lean it up against anything (wall, pillow, monitor, shelf, pencil holder, ...) and it stays at the same angle you set it down at, easy.
I just love this thing. If gumdrop doesn't make it, I'm going to have to bribe a silicone guy and get him to copy one for me. I think I could almost duplicate it with RTV silicone rubber if I bought two of them cut them up to fit and then did a two part mold, but it would take a bit of thinking and I don't know how well RTV silicone would last (but it would have the right shore A hardness to feel great and "stick" in all the right ways).
The best thing about the case is that while it grabs lint and stuff like most silicone cases, it does not feel bad and does not inhibit its stickiness. This might not make sense to you if you aren't acutely aware of everything you touch and how it feels (and I wish I didn't), but if you are sensitive to it, this is amazing. Now I haven't covered it in baby powder or anything, but it is amazing not having to worry about tossing it on a pile of laundry or the bed or the carpet and it not getting so covered in tiny dust that you feel like you have to wask it off. Even my otterbox for my GS4 makes me feel like that sometimes, but not my wife's gumdrop bounce, man I'm envious of that skin.
If you want here is the link to it on amz. for the ipad. they even have it in like 7 colors, I just wish they made it for the Note pro.., maybe they will.

I got my Poetic Graph Grip yesterday. I'm pretty torn about it. The fit is great, it is much better protection than the Fosmon case linked above that I have, it is comfortable to hold BUT... it is heavy!! It adds a significant amount of weight to an already large tablet. And it also seems to be a bit of a dog fur/dust magnet. Which is a problem in a house with three dogs! So I'm not sure whether I will continue to use it or not.
OK I got the tpu case.... And it's pretty good. The buttons are a little hard to press especially the power button.... Other than that it's not bad.
