i wish there was a barely there case for this phone. i do not care about the front but in the back it is so slippery in the hand that i need something. Does anyone else knows any other options
I actually just bought the universal kit from egrips: http://www.egrips.com/store/product_info.php?products_id=2
It works great, I used the thin strips on the sides of the battery cover and a small strip on the back. You have to trim one of the thin strips down because of the camera button, but so far seems to work perfect. Shipped quick and arrived in a couple days US mail.
I was just trying to find a good solution for a better grip on the phone, it really does not provide any protection.

get something like the invisible shield or other full body wrap. It has a rubbery texture so the phone is no longer slippery.
That's actually pretty cool and without the goofy rubberized cases tmo has to offer.
Sorry, it has been a busy couple days. Here are the small eGrip strips on the side of the Slide. The photos are not the best...
I used eGrips because I am pretty familiar with their products. It is the same material that the "dash pads" are made which are used to prevent items from sliding across your dash.

Hi everyone, use the discount code "facebook" to get 20% off.
I recommend the black strips for the side of the device pictured, but the Clear strips work very well too, and they have a stronger adhesive, as seen on the iPhone 4 here:

I have been lookig for something that provides suitable screen protection for the Touch HD, so that it can be carried in a pocket with other items with no corcerns about things being pressed against the screen. I have an Invisible Shield to protect from scratches, but obviously this won't protect against excessive pressure being applied and the open frame type protectors likw thw silicon and crystal won't offer much help. Normal leather pouches offer greater resistance, but it is still soft material and whilst it can spread pressure, it won't totally stop it.
So far the only thing I have seen that may offer what I am looking for is the Proporta Alu-Leather Case
Yeah i like the protection that the cover offers, however i don't like the method of holding the HD in the case.
Those side brackets/grip things might damage the outer edge of the surround.
This method also seems to leave a lot of the outer edges exposed.
Although the screen protection is not aluminum, i prefer the Pielframa and Noreve method of holding the HD in the case.
I ordered mine from proporta , just waiting for delivery and i gonna give you my feedback
i just recieved it an it feets perfect with my blackstone.
Has anyone come across anything else that offers similar protection for the screen. Being vegetarian, I'd prefer to use something other than leather. I had hoped I would find a plastic or metal case with the flip front design, but I've not seen anything remotely like that.

I'm wait first review..
Thanx its ordered
thanks, i ordered too!!!
Count me in as well...
Bought one last night
I purchased a few screen protectors off eBay.... and NONE of them actually cover the entire surface of the screen.
This looks pretty amazing!
But I must say that it feels a bit strange to spray the fluid on the back of the protector and then squeeze it out, can't this fluid get into the earphone, speaker and around the buttons below the screen?
this doesn't look bad, but i think i'll stay with my Brando screen protector, which imo is cool enough, and will get a rubber-ish backplate as soon as one with a correct price will appear.
I have been searching for a skin like this for my Diamond2. I have read that this Zagg skins all have a orange coat on top that makes a very undesirable effect. Any one can confirm this?
And what about phantom skynz? They provide full body protection, but the model for the D2 its not available yet ...

Just ordered.
Thank you bro!
Just installed the InvisibleSHIELD...
I just installed the invisibleShield I ordered from Zagg a few days ago. Installation was a little tricky, but using the solution made it easy(ish). I used a lot more spray than they recommended, but took the battery/sim/SD card out first. I left it drying for 12 hours, and everything switched on fine.
My advice to anyone getting this is to watch some installation vids on YouTube.
I bought it for the screen protector really as I am very clumsy with other WM phones in the past.
The main issue I have, which is a major one, is that the kit for the Diamond 2 is actually 7 pieces which you install piece by piece. Some of these pieces (like the brushed metal pieces on the edge) are very thin and warp easily. I thought when I purchased this that the screen piece would be one part, where the edges would 'fold' around the sides. This is NOT the case. As a result, the actual edges are not covered at all. These pieces don't meet to form a solid shield, but leave gaps between the edges. I have included some pictured to highlight this.
The actual effect on the screen is ok. The screen is bubble-less, but there is a slight sheen on the front. When the screen is on, its not noticable. Also, the shield is a little 'tacky' - not a lot, but it does help feel more snug in your hand. However, for the same reason, the touch screen (when using a stylus) it doesn't feel as smooth as without.
My overall opinion is that if you are looking for something to stop scratching the screen then its great, but if you are looking for something to make your phone indestructible, look elsewhere.
So you bought the protection that coveres the entire phone?
I'm planning to buy the cover for the display only, was the display cover hard to get in place?
agento
7 pieces....so you have 1 piece for backplate,2 in front and 4 for the sides?
Is that correct?
Thanks for sharing the info. Does the IS make it difficult to get the backplate off?
Does it make the front, back or sides feel or look noticeable different?

There is the front piece, the back piece, 2 thin strips for the sides and 2 small rectangles for the bottom side near the stylus. So 6, not 7. I can't count!

No, the IS covers the back plate, but it doesn't wrap over the sides. The back slides off just as easy as ever.

The front just looks like a normal screen protector. The back looks glossier. The touch though, as stated earlier, is slightly tackier. The only thing is the gaps where the IS doesn't meet.
Not trying to bum you out, but... the pictures you posted show a pretty messy device. Doesn't have a "clean" look anymore, is this because of the ZAGG?

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...

Has anybody tried one yet on the DT2? I want to protect the leather, but still show it off, as well as give some cushioning for light drops due to having wood and tile everywhere in my house.

Reviews look like it doesn't fit right. Although people are talking about tablets. One says the slots and holes aren't right. Doesn't look promising. I'm waiting for Diztronic because they've never let me down with TPU cases for my phones.

I received that very one 2 days ago. I really like it. Was looking for a bumper case as I don't tnink the phone needs a back cover. Couldn't find one so I ordered this one. The back is indeed crystal clear (so far) and shows off my soft grip well. The sides are tpu & offer way more grip than the original metal. All the cutouts line up & the buttons are easy to push. The clear back plastic is apporximately 1/16" thick. I'd buy it again.

I finally got my clear case. I was waiting on my Amazon Gift card birthday present because I didn't really want to spend my own money on it, lol

+1 on Diztronic, good cases, used them on other phones before, and I have the blue TPU one on my D2 now. Not the slimmest of cases, but very well made and the button feel is perfect, better than naked.
I got the Pleson clear TPU case cause I love the look of this phone, but FWIW, clear cases just seem like lint traps to me. I found myself removing the phone from the case too often to clean out all the pocket lint that was getting sandwiched in there...kept bugging my OCD tendencies. And when it was out one day, you guessed it, dropped on my concrete floor in the basement and dented the corner a bit....GAHHH.
I have this one: http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01868SM9S
It fits well and all the ports are uncovered. Don't try using the screen protector that comes with it, the one they sent with mine is too tall for the phone.

Actually, for me it's bad on 3 sides, top, bottom, and s-pen side, but i don't grab by the top or bottom too much. Kinda feels like it could fall out of the case, and the side with the S-pen, just feels like a handle that I intuitively try to grab, especially because it doesn't have a kickstand, I wanna grab it on one side.

I have gotten more used to it. I will probably keep this case on until a more rugged case comes out, preferrably with a kickstand. Also sort of thinking of whether there's a case I can put over the top of the case, maybe a UAG exoskeleton.
