Best case for note 2?

I bought a "Flip PU Leather Cove #FG from wuyouguo2110 on ebay for $5 shipped. This thing is actually great quality for what I paid. It did come from china but I had it within the week I ordered it even though they quoted a 2-3 week delivery window.

I am probably going to order a couple more in different colors. I bought this one because it protects all four corners entirely and raises the screen up if you flip the phone onto it's face so you don't get any sand scratches.

Here are the pics...

I purchased this case from eBay. Really pleased with it as it doesn't compromise the design of the phone and goes well with both business and casual attire.

Somehow I can't wrap my mind around driving 20 miles and the phone remaining on top of the car. Just can't picture it.

Not to take the thread off topic - but here's my Otterbox Defender Case story correction - it was a 15 mile journey face down on the roof of my van.

--
Dear Otterbox,

When i upgraded to Iphone 4, in September 2010 - I asked my IT support
folks for a recommendation for the best Iphone 4 case.

They told me the Otterbox Defender case was the best choice, so I
ordered one and this case has proved to be invaluable protection for
my Iphone 4.

Last November, I relocated across town 15 miles away, to be closer to
my work. I always keep my iPhone nearby. I had been listening to
internet talkradio while packing - but my old residence was in a
fringe area with poor AT&T coverage, so i was used to periodic
dropouts.

In my haste in loading my Van, with arms loaded with boxes, I
carelessly left my iphone in its Otterbox Defender rubber case, face
down on the roof of my minivan - and drove off - heading north on
Highway 101 at 70 miles an hour for the 15 mile commute to my new
place.

After 15 minutes on the freeway, As I took the off-ramp, I was
alerted to hear a curious sound of internet talk radio coming from
just outside my van. I pulled over, and was shocked to discover the
"talkradio" I heard was indeed my iPhone 4, still resting face down on
the roof of my car - just where I had carelessly left it.

With your Otterbox Defender, I want to thank all of you for designing
the best iPhone 4 case on the planet! its rubber housing "gripped" the
convex curved roof of my '98 Plymouth Voyager like a monster magnet,
and enabled me to save +$600 in replacement costs for a new Iphone 4
32GB.

Thank You!

It looks like it offers a little bit more protection than the flip one I have. Once I get it I'll take some pics. What I like about it is the closure. The flip case doesn't have one.

sorry which is yours, have you got a link to it?
 
Hmmm that does look like what I'm after Liam, will probably give it a try
Edit: ordered. Will let you know how it fits and I will probably have to put it in a plastic bag too :)

I've ordered one too, taken me all day but here goes:-

1) "Sandisk Ultra 64GB Class 10 Micro SD Card with SD Adapter"
 
Nice order Liam. The grey flip cover really shows the phone off, I love it! The SGP protector is hardly noticable when its on the phone too.
Yeah I looked at CPW (
 
And to think I am just going to rough it with just probably a skin on the back. Maybe the flip case by Samsung.... When the back gets scratched up just replace the case.

I could NEVER rock an Otterbox no matter how much protection they provide. Everything about it just screams MANly.

Agree, though I have used them on a couple phones and like them except for the color. I just wish they would offer some colors. Black is boring!!!!

Woman carry smartphones!!!

This!

I love Otterbox cases and I always get colorful ones - never black. I drop my phone more than I care to admit plus my one-year-old son loves to pick up my phone when I'm not looking. ha!

My husband had an EVO LTE that he dropped on the concrete. The screen shattered (and it did not land on the screen side). He had a thin TPU case on it at the time. Ever since then, thin cases are not for me.

Curious, does anybody have a picture of the front of the otterbox? The AT&T link only shows the back?

I went to the otterbox website and they don't have it listed!

Actually took a look at the Defender case for the Note 1 - I assume the Defender case for the Note 2 will look similar?

Curious if the Otterbox "commuter" will be released for the note 2? It's a bit less bulky and might be nice for daily use - I plan to get the defender case for outdoors stuff (snowboarding, running, etc).
 
Have any of you guys ever removed (cut out?) the screen protector from a Defender case? I want impact protection, a belt clip and a kickstand but I don't want to hide that beautiful scratch-resistant screen behind another piece of plastic.

For that just get the commuter. Or you can wait for trident or ballistic to come out with their cases.
