Assortment of Galaxy Note 2 cases on Amazon from $5 shipped w/ coupon

Thanks, might get an extra. Currently using an aluminum bumper from Ebay since the back (battery cover) can be replaced.

Quote from darkhunter : Note 2 is definitely the best phone right now

My N2 fills the bill for just about everything that I could want in a phone and portable computer. REALLY NOT TOO BIG--QUITE MANAGEABLE! Truly top-notch construction ($1k list price); pays for itself in saved time over other phones. I did not even consider an iPhone.

A pleasure to use. Well worth the investment, and android rocks.

size does matter!

Thanks OP!

It's off topic, but since there are many note 2 users here..

Does anyone know the best way to have music control on the lock screen?

Quote from eb50 : does everyone love their note 2? reviews are awesome but looks ginormous

Right now it's the best phone on the market, bar none.

It feels a little large for the first day or two, after that, everything else seems tiny.

Tip, pop in a 64GB microSD card and you'll have an 80GB unit. The Sandisk ultra mobile class 10 or the new Samsung 64 class 10 are both great cards, often discounted to $50.

I keep coming back to this thread just cause it makes me feel good about owning a Note 2...haha.

I was back and forth between the Note 2 and some other phones for a while. But now that Paranoid Android is available for the N2, it's hands down the best phone in both hardware and software.

Quote from eternal10 : Love it wouldnt want to go back to a smaller screen now

Quote from joeam : I Love mine also its really Slick...........lol

Quote from zapfacid : I farking love my note 2

Quote from cel4145 : Love my Note 2. Seemed really big for the first day, and now it seems normal and regular phones seem too small

Quote from ahannan : Love my Note II. Battery lasts twice as long as my EVO 4g. It is lighter and thinner and fits in my pocket nicely. Plenty of memory for apps without an add-on card. SDHC slot for up to 64GB more space.

Quote from mbehun : WE LOVE OUR NOTES !!!!!! We left our iPhones behind and never looked back.

Quote from tdouble : I frickin love the note 2!

Quote from gvan1998 : Cant live without my Note 2. Once you go big cant go back

I hate you all!!! I got the Nexus 4, and while its nice, within the day I knew what I really wanted all along was the Note 2, but when I was getting ready to box it up the next day, BLAM -- dropped it (without case) onto ground -- cracked the bottom corner. Works fine but I couldn't send it back anymore and now I'll never have my Note 2.

My Noe 2 will be here tomorrow. One of these will do until my Urban Armor Gear Scout ships next month. TY OP. Repped...

Thanks for the feedback, can't decide if I should wait till April for the gs4. Octo core sounds amazing

Widget locker. I control both my Pandora and podcast player from my lock screen

Quote from eb50 : Thanks for the feedback, can't decide if I should wait till April for the gs4. Octo core sounds amazing

The GS4 sounded amazing but I was upgrade eligible and needed a phone now (my HTC Inspire was a piece of junk and I cracked the screen a few weeks before I became upgrade eligible).

The thing to keep in mind is that realistically, it won't hit US carriers before July probably. If you can wait it out, great. Otherwise, this seems to be the cream of smartphones at the moment.

Hmm cant add any of these to my shopping cart. Takes me to a generic Amazon page. Anyone else having troubles?

I use TTPod music player. If you can get past the Chinese language issue (not everything is translated to English, though the majority of what you need for controls are in English), then it gives you an automatic lock screen music control when using it to play music. There is the option for on screen lyrics display (it downloads available lyrics and album art for each song played with the option to search for current lyrics and/or album art)), options for choosing skins (names for the skins are in Chinese) for the player in full app mode, transparent widget with album art display, create playlists, scan for songs by folder or let it find all music files for you (including ringtones, notification tones, audio files for games and apps, etc. so careful with this option), listen to online content like online radio (haven't tried it yet), and more. If you don't like TTPod, try another music player app that has a lock screen plugin. TTPod is free, so you might want to try it. There may be better options for the lock screen, but this is what I use and like it, especially the full screen album art and bottom screen controls and unlock mechanism for the lock screen.
