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

I am also a proud owner of the Note 2. Two of my colleagues also got it after my recommendation. I have a Spigen Hardbook case and thinking about the OA3 case.

I have a Note II, now my mom wants a Note II as her first smartphone

how is the official samsung flip cover? Is it better than these cases

Thanks for posting this. I havent read through the thread but I absoluetely love my Note 2. Any time I touch an SIII now it feels so tiny! Im never going back to a smaller screen. Plus the phone is so smooth and fast, its awesome!

Quote from rrc06 : 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.

dont depress me. if i wait till july, i might as well wait till the fall for the note 3. i think the biggest upgrade will be leaving the SLOW sprint network to att 4g

I'll add to the chorus on the Note 2, it's pretty spectacular. The minor negatives would be

1) It is definitely big, so sometimes it feels like you're holding a dinner plate up to your head when you're making a call But I mostly use the speakerphone and it's great for that. And if you're insecure about how your phone looks. well, SD is not the place for you.

2) The build quality is good not great. The back cover in particular isn't that well designed, and is kind of plastic-y. But that won't really matter if you buy a case, which is always a good idea, especially when they are this cheap. And the back cover is easily replaced if you want(there are a zillion on ebay for a few $)

As far as everything else, it's awesome. Great speed, battery life, and big screen is terrific.I had not had a new phone in years, so I tried everything before taking the plunge. It wasn't even close, really...it's just really great.

Anyone have any thoughts on the screen protectors(which are offered for $3 for 3 wyb the case) or other recommendations for backup battery, chargers, or other screen protectors?

"BoxWave Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Leather Book Jacket".

I got this for $10 including shipping before tax?

Am I doing anything wrong?

Thanks. Just switched from iPhone 4S to Note 2 today. Like it so far. Glad to be back on Android. First thing I got excited about was being able to type in my email address without changing screens. Second thing: Swipe or swype or however it's spelled, is really, really cool!

Thanks for reminding me I had .80 Ebucks

anyone have recommendation on screen protectors.

I've used Zagg and Skinomi before but based on my research seems like S pen doesn't work well with those.

I've heard of ismooth which is a dry protector and Just Like Glass (JLG) which is a wet protector.

anyone have any recommendation on strength/smoothness.

thanks

I have the Just Like Glass on my Note 2. It's almost as smooth as the gorilla glass. The S pen just slides right on it. The fit is good. It does have a "rainbow effect" on the screen when the screen is off though. That's the only thing I complain about.

I also have the xtremeguard screen protector. The S pen leaves marks on that screen protector, which drives me insane.

Don't know about these cases but I do have the flip cover. It doesn't have all the openings it should, just for front speaker and indentation for home button, no holes for rear speaker, camera/flash. If you want to watch video on it and get decent volume you need to hold open the cover to reflect sound back to you and hold it open for taking pictures/video as well. It is kind of a pain to open/close at least one handed and doesn't give confidence in terms of feel for durability, I don't expect it to last and it should for the price $$$. While it does fine in a pocket, I don't know that the cover will stay closed and protect the screen in the case of dropping the phone.

It was expensive and it is designed by Samsung for the phone but I am disappointed. It takes away from the phone function and doesn't seem to make up for it very well in terms of protection.

swype is pretty neat but try the voice recognition for entering text. Press the microphone icon to start recording and speak clearly, it is pretty impressive. It might have a little delay, but then you see whole sentences pop up on the screen.

I have the ismooth screen protector. I've only had the phone for a few days. i struggle putting on them usually. But this one was very easy and no bubbles. So far looks good.
