Rearth USA screen protectors & cases for SGH-i717 - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Rearth has cases and screen protectors up for the AT&T Note . . . case comes with screen protector.
http://www.rearthusa.com/Galaxy-Note_c_117.html
I just ordered mine so I'll let you guys know what I think. I'm *hoping* it's thin enough to work with the ProClip car mount.
I got matte black
Our international forum friends had a mixed bag of reviews when it came to this case:

I like the slim case but it seems kinda pricey. I don't want too much extra dept to the phone once I get it so I might go with this case.
If you do the Rearth slim case let us know what you think of it.

Looks nice...but I agree that it's rather pricey. I still prefer to only spend between $5-10 for a case especially with the bonus that a screen protector is included with it.
At this point, I'll most likely still settle for a TPU case.

I'd pay that much for a rugged case like a Cyclops, Defender or Ballistic. But for a slim case...

Got my screen protectors today. I am ready to go.

So would you call the case slick? I want something with some tackiness. Also which one did you get. Matte Black, Metallic etc...

I got matte. It's def. pretty smooth . . .

Just bought this kit to see about putting them on the back of the case . . . couldn't find much info on this product so I'll let you know what I think when it comes in.

Those are awesome tons of grip. You may find they are too tacky slide in your pants. But they are great, you can just leave a phone sitting on your dash.

Good to hear. I was wondering about the pocket thing. Maybe I should have gotten the one that had more strips instead of blocks so I can mix it up some

speck

since there doesn't seem to be a post about it yet...
the speck case that retail is carrying is wonderful. just like the atrix case, smooth on the back, raised rubber around the screen so it wont slide if you turn it over and doesn't add too much heft.
only downside is the ridiculous $40 they are charging for it. get it somewhere else unless you have a 50% premier discount.
on a side note, the screen protector they sell is actually pretty good too, i'm not noticing any difference in screen sensitivity.
I just the black and grey speck case today, will hold me off until a Ballistic or otterbox comes around.
I thought AT&T had a promotion where you get free accessories for the cost of the device?
Keep in mind you have 30 days to return it if you don't want it. No restock fee.
I think You can get a better case from SGP for much less. Just saying.
But yeah, I sell the crap out of the Speck ones

Does it matter if I return just the case and box? or does every single piece have to go in it? Because I might just do the SGP one. I just needed a case to protect this beauty

I love the sgp screen protectors but think the speck cases are better than sgp. I bought a sgp hybrid case for my skyrocket and it was so bad I think I tried to give it away and nobody wanted it. I think I tossed it. I saw a girl drop her iPhone yesterday with a speck candy shell case and it bounced around and was fine. I think they are a bit bulky for the pocket but they are superb at protection.
But 40 bucks is a bit steep!

I bought the Speck today at AT&T. It's really nice. Fits perfect, and I like how it makes it really easy to push the volume/power buttons. I'm going to be registering my AT&T account under a corporate account since I can get 24% off my monthly bill. Sure I'll qualify discounts on accessories after that. So I may end up returning this and re-buying it for the discount LoL
Is the Speck comparable to the Otterbox Commuter cases?

This Speck is just a thin hard plastic case. Not thick at all.
I purchased the Speck on impulse . It provides great coverage and I like it...except for the super easy scuffing on the backside of
the case. I just think the case should retain it's good looks....especially for $40.

That's the same exact case I have and I love it as well. Feels good to the grip doesn't add bulk and looks clean as well.

When I picked up my preordered Note at the store they hadn't had any of the accessories on display. I was disappointed that the Speck case didn't come in a neutral white (I don't mind pink in general but I wanted white with grey interior not pink). Anyone know if the Speck case will come in more colorways?
I've quickly decided I don't like this case at all. Doesn't fit into any dock, and is a pain in the butt to remove and put on. One can argue that it shouldn't be easy to get a case off, but they make it extremely difficult to remove. Looking into that TPU case.
pics of speck case?
It is a nice case but $40 for a thin silicone liner covered by a shiny black shell? That complaint aside, it is a decent case that slips in and out of the pocket easily and does a nice job of protecting the mighty Note.
However, I do wish they would go with a less shiny, less scratch prone back.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Premium-Hyb...ccessories&hash=item2c62bc725a#ht_4614wt_1163 I like this one.... I love the double layers of the otterbox, but dont like the price. I usually buy a case at the att store, order a case from ebay, return the att case.
I bought this case while I was waiting for my sline case I ordered fro eBay to come in. The power button kept waking up my phone because the case made the button very sensitive. I took it off after 3 days because I decided I was going to return it. It also had gaps between the screen and the case that dirt and dust kept getting in. It was very hard to get on and off. Never been afraid of breaking my phone to take off a case before. I was also unhappy that it showed oil and fingerprints very easily. And apparently scratches very easy. I went to take it back to the ATT store and the greeter immediatley said let me see it because these cases scratch really easy and we can't take them back if they are scratched. He said yep see that there a couple scratches and we wont be able to return it.
Long story short I complained and got a discount but beware of this case. Be sure you like it for $40 and are willing to keep it before you buy it.

Best flip case for the note?

I have the little flip case right now, but it doesn't provide much protection. What would be a good flip case for my note?

Somebody else posted this in the other flip case thread, might be of interest to you. The front of the flip cover seems to be exactly the same, but the back of it is an actual case that will protect your Note more.

I don't think that one will fit the AT&T version. Someone else might have to verify that, but it says it's made for the International version.

I bet it does fit, as im pretty sure the discrepancy in size was probably an error in either measurement or conversion between metric and standard units. Every case people have bought for an international note so far has fit the at&t one, even the zenus capsule case, which is hard plastic.
The only things that do not work are replacement battery covers due to the difference in the location of the tabs, which what i linked to is not a battery cover.

I ordered one in red as soon as it gets here (which may be a while) I will verify if it fits the American version
just an update im still waiting in this case It has been over 4 weeks now and still no case
Finally got the case it does fit the American version
I've got this one on the way, http://kevikev.com/Yoobao-Executive-Leather-Case-Folio-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-LCSamNoteE.htm. I know someone that got it and he really likes it.
I ordered this one... hopefully I will like it.

I ordered this one, and while it's a bit expensive, it looks, feels, and is really nice.

I got my wife the tridea case from ebay, its pretty nice and offers better protection than most flip cases around the sides.
I got this case on amazon. Its the Khomo Executive flip case and I can honestly say that it's by far the worst case that you could spend (little) money on. it offers almost no protection aside from the soft felt stickers on the inside. its made from really cheap hard plastic and only snaps around the edges. after putting the phone in it the for the first time, i set it on a white painted bookshelf. it immediately took white paint transfer barely sliding it across the shelf. Im sure if i left phone in there much longer it would have transferred black scratches to my white Note. It barely closes shut and front flip overlaps the edges too far. Worst of all in the design of this is that it covers the volume key. One drop in this case would probably crack the plastic edges and break the phone. Ultimate fail case!!!

That's exactly what I was going for...good quality for a good price. It looked like what I wanted. And that would be a slim tough flip case that could handle a drop or fall and protect my phone. Sadly, this wasn't it, I'll keep trying to find it. I've got a quality case which is my daily but would like a flip style w/o the bulk.

looks nice! Executive and slim?
I know leather would be more scratch resistant but I've always felt the otterbox plastic/rubber was more drop proof!
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using Tapatalk
Yeah. The Executive is all leather. Gives good protection but not as stiff.
The Slim has a hard shell and leather overlay. Better protection but more stiff. The Otterbox is excellent protection but more bulk. Depends on what you are looking for.

Exactly! otterbox should make a flipcase. And a slim one at that. Let us know what you think of these. I might have to forgo plastic for leather. If the slim leather fits well with nice corner protection, I'll be buying next.

Best case

Hi i am going to buy this nice phone in few days and i was wondering which case will be the best for me. I really like the original design of the phone but dont like this flip cases like s view ( in my opinion they are not comfortable for use correct me if im wrong). On the other side. There is the spigen ultra fit case but im not sure if it gives a good protection. So can you give an advice please?
Thank you!
I recommend the S-View Case and Back Case.
The quality is OK . I am quite satisfied with the case so far.

I have just purchased Holster case for my N3 and its really a nice experience to have this case on my phone....I got it from Amazon...so you can just check it out...its a bit pricey but cost worthy too...So I like this case
Everyone has their own opinion and preference when it comes to phone cases and the one I got was the Spigen Bounce http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-note-3-case-bounce.html . I had originally ordered this case because it is was inexpensive and one of the few that was actually available when I got my Note 3 on October 3. I got it so I wouldn't have to go "naked" while I waited for something better to come out. I'm so pleased with it that I see no reason to get a different one at this point. This case adds almost nothing to the thickness of the phone and I definitely feel like it's well protected. I also happen to think it looks nice.

I have a black Note 3 and have tried 3 cases.
The 1st one was the OEM S View Flip Case, which I returned without even putting it on the phone...
Next was Seidio Surface Case w/metal kickstand. Nice two piece case, but very hard to remove
from the phone once you have it on. Returned it
The 3rd case was the black Experience Case by Cruzerlite. This is a nice slim case and its what I'm using now.

Full body film protection?

I dont drop my phone usually but i want to protect the phone from getting scratches at the back of the phone. My current phone has a very small scratches at the back and i want to prevent that. Invisibleshield used to make full body military grade films but all i found on their website is for front screen only. Do they stop making full body hd film? Or any other website sell full body film for s8+. All i really need is the film to cover the back side.
I got the Skinomi full-body one for my S8. It fits wells and went on pretty well.
I may take it off the front, though - I really like the naked screen look.

Thank you. That is exactly what im looking for. Did you buy it directly from skinomi website? Do they cover the side of the phone also since we dont have a lot of edge on our s8? I might not install the front screen protector either.

Yep, bought it directly from Skinomi.com. I think it took 3 or 4 business days for delivery.
There are pieces to put on the metal trim, but I just threw them out. I mostly wanted this so that there would be a clear skin on the back of the phone. It covers the entirety of the glass. You just have to be patient putting it on the curve.

Slickwraps has a clear one, just the back.
Slickwraps sells a naked skin for the back in glossy or matte finish. I have the matte one on my Note 5 and it's great! https://www.slickwraps.com/galaxy-s8-naked-wrap.html thinking of buying one for my S8 as well.

I actually only paid $10 for it since I found a $5 code (just google "slickwraps discount code" if anyone is interested) and 1 slick point I think is what they call it. I got the orchid grey colour so I think it's pointless for me to cover up a coloured back phone with a skin design. If I got the black one, sure. But I love this muted purple colour! And that skin will be there for when I want to use my phone naked.

Thanks. I was gonna order from gadgetshield but they ship from India and I kinda want it asap so I placed an order with skinomi last night.
Are these three hard plastic feel or do any of them have that slight rubberized feel like the zagg skins. I have a case on mine but I hate it, love the feel of the phone. I'd like the skin to be bit grippy to help from flying out of my hands.

thoughts on putting S9+ in an otterbox case?

I pre ordered my S9+ yesterday. i also ordered and otterbox and one of their tempered glass screen protectors. im coming from a note 5 and still used to a home button. will an otterbox interfere with the fingerprint sensor on back? any other pros or cons to not using the otterbox?

Otterbox cases are quite bulky. Not a fan of them. Ruins the fun of having a nice phone like the S9 only to have it feel like holding a brick.
Get yourself a very thin minimal clear case and/or a skin. As for the tempered glass screen protector, I'm all for screen protectors, so, good move right there.
Samsung's own cases look good, however if you're looking for something cheaper, check out Spigen's lineup.
Not really worried about price. Just want to protect the phone. I'm passing on insurance.

Ah, the Alcantara case. I really liked that one, had it on my S8+.
Offers great grip, and I dropped the phone twice when I had it. Once it landed on it's back, and the second time on it's face. No screen protector.
Absolutely ZERO damage. The corners of the case had minor scuffs, but the phone was perfect.
As you said price wasn't an issue, get this if you can. It's an awesome case.
