I've gone through every page, but the only ones I see with flip covers are the replacement battery door ones which offer zero protection.. I want to know if there is a TPU style case with a flip cover. Do you know of one?

So after using it from Friday to today, I've decided I'm returning my ZuGadget case and I've purchased the Spigen Illuzion (in black).
After a few days use, the phone has slipped out of this ZuGadget case multiple (at least 5) times since I started using it. Thankfully it hasn't fallen onto the floor or anything (it nearly did in Walmart yesterday) but I don't want to take the chance.
So hopefully this Spigen is a better option in the long run. I wanted one diary-type case and one regular hard back (so I'm still waiting on my Molang case to actually get out of Korea at this point).
I will give credit to the ZuGadget, it never gave me any magnet issues like people had been reporting about some of the other, similar, cases. But I want my phone to be safe and secure always.
If anyone is using the Illuzion case, what are your thoughts on it?

You sure that the Spigen Illuzion (in black) is better or even different than the ZuGadget case? for me they looks the same.
Regarding the Illuzion case, never tried them but they look nice though the only problem i think they add more bulck to the phone

They're very different in terms of material. I'm hoping the phone clip (the thing that holds the phone in) is slightly higher than the ZuGadget one. The problem is, the one in the Zugadget is damn near flush with the phone, so it's not really HOLDING it very well.
Also, the Spigen one has a snap closure, so no magnets.
If I don't like this one either, I'm sending BOTH of them back. We'll see. Who knows how many of these things I'm going to go through at this rate.

Before purchasing the Note 2 I must have researched to death every case there was. I'm anal so my research consist of charts, graphs, #'s..... You name it.
The only thing that was conclusive were all these cases are the same. You're not getting any better quality if you spend $30 or 2. If you choose to go upscale.....Well that's a whole 'nutha thread.
eBay and Amazon and every other case site is all the rage with nothing but look-a-likes because they get their cases from the same distributor. Everyone who buys a case thinks they've gotten the "best" but have you all noticed yet one looks no different than the other?
The only case I've come across that sets itself apart from the rest is the one that comes in 5 colors and looks like it was made of crocodile (sorry no link to add here but it has been posted).

Yes, I've noticed the vast majority of the ones on Amazon are the same, just with different "brand" names on them. I assume, however, that Spigen makes their own cases, or is going to be like the rest? To me, it doesn't look like the other ones I've seen, in terms of material itself. But hell, I could be wrong, again. -.-
I just want my Molang to come, but it's still sitting in Korea Post. -.- They've assured me I can have a refund if it doesn't come in another 7 working days. Y.a.y.

I got the cheapo one from Verizon. It was only $15 with my discount, has a built-in kickstand and is very low profile. It also has a nice texture so you can grip it better. My only issue with it is that it doesn't protect the top and bottom metal edges.

Yep..... That's the one. I couldn't remember who posted it but I remember first seeing it on eBay. I need a case that retains the low profile with kickstand.
I bought a black TPU case off amazon for 10 cents plus shipping. Love it.

Yeah, the status has still gone unchanged. I'm really sad about it. Trying to decide if I want to bother with a resend or go with a different seller. This is only my third experience with ebay and this makes 2/3 bad experiences. Ugh.
I'm giving it until Wednesday (It's final expected day to arrive). Then I'll figure out what to do from there, I guess.

Not much, I got it through an eBay seller from China. It's more the waiting than anything else. I think I paid about $7.99 including shipping.

I've had my eyes on this dual guardian case from mob c and currently they haven't made a case for the note 2 so I'm playing another waiting game. WAITING has def become one of my hated words after waiting so long for my phone lol. they only currently make the case for the S3.

You have to get another case 'in the meantime'.
