trade reiko case for gel/tpu case anyone? - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

After finally deciding on the reiko case as a cheap option and a good case for me to take to the gym, I found out it doesn't really fit with my glas.t. I mean it technically does, but it appears to have messed up the adhesion around the edges. I would not recommend using both. Very disappointing since it's such a nice case especially for the price.
Anyone want to swap cases? I figure a slip on gel case or something would be good for not messing up my SP and for good protection against accidental dumbell hits or something. I got the all black version of the reiko case.. brand new, only put on to test fit. i'm not looking to add any cash for an expensive case. Just something cheap.. even trade, etc.

I am will to trade a mercury case black or white. Do u have a pic of your case?
Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)

Yeah i'll get pics a bit later. How tight does the mercury case fit, specifically around the front? All I really care about is not putting stress on the edges of my screen protector and ruining it.

Its perfect fit. It lines up around the glass does not really go over it. Look in the forum and see if anyone else is using it with the glass.
Sent from the TermiNOTEr! ;-)

How much movement is in the case once on? I've got two offers on that mercury case and I'm kind of hesitant since the edge of the glass is basically right where my SP is and i'm worried any movement will be a perfect opportunity for the case to peel up my glas.t

There is not much movement it is the hardest tpu case I have owned. Did u check other threads? Is anyone using the mercury case with that glass?

How far does your screen protector go? The Mercury Case only holds onto the plastic bezel around the edge, not the screen.

Correct ^^^^

On the one side of my screen it more or less lines up exactly with the glass. What do you think?

The speck world with the glas.t, but if you don't keep your phone in some protective pouch the case will look like garbage, really killing the looks. But it works well with the glass

This will def not interfere with anything on your glass. It only goes as high as the "chrome" accent it snaps/clips to.
One caveat is the plastic bezel surrounding the screen will end up exposed and vulnerable.
But if you like your phone "naked",I got the clear white, it really looks as if nothing is on.

I use it without a case, but I have a realook screen protector on it. I toss it around so the back cover and some of the chrome is a bit scuffed, but the screen is of course perfect.
Hi there.
I don't use a case, but I do have a screen protector on both sides of my vibrant. I don't like the looks after putting the case on, yet I am worried I might get it scratched or damaged. So, as a solution, I decided to get an expensive, good quality protector. Works perfectly haha =D

i got ghost armor on my screen. i bought a plastic case on ebay for like $10 and its awesome. i hate gel cases cuz they just become giant lint traps eventually. it was well worth the money for the case. its still really slim and pretty sturdy (i've dropped it a few times)
edit: its similar to this http://cgi.ebay.com/Black-Hard-Cove...165091?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4aa86b0223
I use a Trident case on my Vibrant. Its similar to otterbox, and comes with a built in screen protector (which I took off, it wasn't very effective in keeping dust out). Itbis a very solid case, I would recommend it if you are looking for a case.

I'm using a rubber case with no screen protector. The phone is in my pocket a lot and even without a screen protector, the screen is as good as new. I've dropped my phone once from about 2ft and i think the rubber case cushioned the blow quite a bit.
I'd go with a case if you can live with the bulkiness.
I like a gel case because it doesn't add a lot of bulk and it gives a little cushion if you drop it. I've seen the screen on a Vibrant shatter from being dropped from just a couple of feet.
I believe that a case is a no go, the gorilla glass is extra strong, a case would only make your phone bigger and heavier. Use a screen protector if you want to feel safe, or if you seriously want a case, buy one from zagg.
Why risk it without a case? Who here has never dropped their cell phone?
I use Zagg invisible shelf on the back, and nothing on the screen. No scratches yet, been 7 months. Also, coming from the G1, I have been using the pouch that came with my G1, and the Vibrant fits perfectly. You can get the pouch from Amazon for $5 with free shipping last I checked (OEM too, not some cheap knock off). Best $5 you'll spend on protecting your phone IMHO.

Going without a case is definitely more desirable. Cases are pretty bulky and take away from the thinness of the phone. However, I wouldn't worry too much about scratches without a case. I don't really care about scratches and scuffs, thats what invisible shields are for.
One awkward angle drop without a case and your $400 phone is toast. Thats the ONLY reason I use a case on any of my phones. With a case you are SO much more likely to recover from a drop. Either way, its your phone do what you please!

Leather case as well, plus it feels so sexy
I'll chime in to pitch the barely there case - link here. It was my answer to wanting to ditch a case, but being OCD about damaging the phone.
I too had the tmobile rubber case at the onset, but eventually got tired of the extra bulk. I'm loving my combination of a real look screen protector and a barely there case...it's probably as close to a naked phone as you can get while still giving it some protection. Plus, the case helps me find the power button on the side, which becomes curiously elusive when I'm not sporting a case.
Zagg has a full body cover made from screen protector stuff. Adds almost zero bulk but it can be a pain to install sometimes.

I ordered one after much debate because my Note is too worthy to be buried in my purse. I'm waiting on a full body skin from decalgirl or skinit for the times it will be carried in my hand only. I have a cheap TPU case from ebay but I'm not happy with it.
I don't plan on having it in this case the whole time, "he" will have different outfits depending on what I have to do and where I have to go. This will be when I don't want to carry my purse around but need the essentials.
Residue on Glass from Zenus Case
Hi,
I have the same type of case, but the blue/tan version. I find that the case appears to leave a residue on the glass of my Note. I noticed this as soon as I started to use the case, but I assumed that it was due to a leftover from manufacturing and it would go away. It hasn't. I have even tried to clean the inside of the case that faces the glass and I still get a residue. I clean the glass with an eyeglass lens cleaner.
Has anyone else had this issue? If so, have you been able to correct it?
I have the zenus folio in all black, it's basically the same case only all black. I haven't had any trouble with anything transferring to the screen.

I am starting to think that the residue may be skin oils that transfer to the case because of the way I hold the the case. I flip the cover around the backanx hold it thag way. I know, TMI

Thin case

Hi there,
Im looking for thin case.
Best I have found is this case on ebay
Design is not bad, but its not covering glass area around the camera.
Questions:
1. Is there any thin case(plastic, rubber) that covers that?
2. Anyone tried skins? Will they remove easily(considering phone is jeans pocket)?
3. Those who are using various rubber, gel, hybrid and so on cases, how much fatter is your phone with them? If its not that much fatter suggestions on good cases then

I have tried them all, best case is either the capdase brand or official HTC TPU case. They both let your phone slide into your pocket easy, don't bulk out your phone, look great and offer good protection.
The Ebay jobs are just cheap rubbish you get fed up with after a week or 2.

Look up the Kraken AMS. That is a reasonable case.
Alternatively just look for something like this: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-HAR...sesPouches&hash=item3a6a2fac16#ht_1887wt_1396
Best thing about this type of case is it doesn't add too much bulk, and is easy to get in and out of your pocket (unlike a silicone/rubber case). And it will actually protect your phone in a drop unlike that case you linked to in your original post. As for your screen... only BIG cases include a plastic layer to completely cover the glass.
Are you just looking for something with raised edges, and then use a screen protector perhaps? (Like the ebay one I showed you).
http://www.amazon.com/Acase-Superle...1HVI/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1333169597&sr=8-9
this has been the best case for me so far, its very thin, and has a rubber skin with a hard plastic shell..the kraken, and defender are way to big for me. this case is just the right size its about the same size as a tpu case.

My case looks exactly the same and it was £3 from amazon.
IMO the thinnest cases are the back cases ones that doesnt really cover the top and bottom bezel...just the sides and back. BUT if you really want to protect your phone and not get it scratched up over time, you are better off using a TPU type case as the are not too thick and are of softer material and will not rub off any of the black anodized paint. Unlike any hard cases, whether its back only or 2 pieces. Also TPU cases are more absorbent during accidental drop on hard surfaces.
I was running seidio 2pc case hard case w/kick stand with my first 3d and although it had felt inside it eventually rubbed off the pain on the top corners of my phone. The felt inside was very thin and the case is not skin tight so it would move some and the slight movement of the case over time eventually sandpapered some of the paint off. TPU or rubber type cases are more skin tight and is not as abrasive as plastic on painted metal and will not damage the paint so long as you also clean it off from time to time. Some dirt can eventually get in between and the dirt will act as sandpaper. So just consider this when you're buying a case as some of you would probably like to sell your phone later down the road or just want to keep it looking new for a long time.
Finally found ultra thin(slim) case

Those thin cases are the exact same thing as the case mate barely there cases. Much cheaper. I got the rock brand and like it a lot. You do lose that boot of protection at top and bottom though.
Some people have complained that these type of cases are a bit loose on the sides. Easy fix is to lightly squeeze the sides inwards... tight fit!

1. Yep. Right now I have a TPU case but I'm looking at an Otterbox or something similar. Need to protect it better from work.
2. Oh heck yes. Despite being Gorilla Glass screen scratches still happen. I currently use a Zagg invisibleSHIELD. They have a life time guarantee and mild scratches tend to heal so you no longer see them. I won't be switching to another screen protector because these work so well.
1) Yes.
Had this one: Transparent Clear Protector Case Phone Cover For Verizon HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE. Fit well, appeared to be good quality, but was bulky and slippery.
Switched to this one: Fosmon S-Curve Soft Shell TPU Case for HTC DROID Incredible 4G LTE - Black Like it much better. Fits well, Not at all bulky or slippery.
2) Also Yes
Have this one: GreatShield Ultra Smooth Clear Screen Protector. Very clear, but super fingerprinty. Will likely switch to something matte someday
I am currently using a TPU case, but I am waiting for Seidio to announce their surface case/belt clip combo for this phone; I've use the Seidio surface with all my previous phones.
I used to use a screen protector but stopped about a year ago.
i use the Trident Aegis case.
so far, I love it.
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/htc-fireball-adr6410l/aegis-case-htc-fireball-adr6410l.aspx
Come with the screen protector that is pretty good quality. It is less bulky than the Ballistic case (which i also have).
Issues with the Trident are the headphone jack cutout is not wide enough in the direct of the front of the phone, needs to be filed out a bit and it's fine. The hard portion of the case is a little slippery, the guitar pick shaped area in the back is for the silicon to come through and give you non-slip when laying it on its back, this guitar pick area could be a little bigger or the hard part a less slippery material.
The colors don't seem to be quite as vivid as they look on the site, i got the blue, instead of being as bright as it is on the site, its more muted of a blue which is still nice, but not as nice.
The size to protection ration is perfect for me though. I wouldnt be afraid to drop it but can still use it as my everyday case. Also the silicon is a dust resistant one, Lint comes off very easy.
I was not happy with the ballistic due to its size and the silicon on it is a lint magnet. The ballistic corners on it while nice for grip, make getting it in/out of a pocket a pain. The hard shell on the ballistic has a much nicer feel though and is not slippery. The ballistic also does not come with a screen protector.
awesome, thanks for the answers guys!
guys it's my turn!
1) I use TPU black case from Verizon only when going on and I think I may need the extra protection.
I really like the fit of the TPU case it fits very snug, and the cut-outs for the power and the volume buttons make it a perfectly made cse + cheap. :good:
2) Un-characteristuic of me, but YES, I currently do have one on, my dad got the phone the same day and got a package, so I tossed one on.
but I took it off tonight.
don't need it TBH.
gorilla glass will scratch yes, but I'm very OCD lol.
I'm using the Incipio Feather, very nice on this phone. Seems better quality than the one I had on my Inc2.
Using some Verizon screen protectors because they were 10 bucks. Not too bad but they have camera and proximity sensor cutouts which I don't like, so I'll find some that cover the entire front.
Actually saw a very small scratch in the top right corner of the screen the first few days - decided it was worth peice of mind to spend $10 on a screen protector rather than find out gorrilla glass could scratch somewhere more irritating later. Picked up the verizon screen covers and the one on there seems to be holding up against scratches too. They don't cover the sensors/cam spots on the front as mentioned above but since those are over black areas scratches may not too bad (??)
I also tend to drop my phone every once in a while so I grabbed a cheap black/white TPU case off amazon (I think it was $15 with shipping) but the cut outs are too narrow and the volume rocker is really hard to push to activate. I'm waiting on Seidio to release an active case option and if they don't (or its not what I'm looking for) I'll probably go to incipio duo pro sycrillic's line.
I've just order the S-Curve TPU case and the Cruzerlite Androidified TPU case. Gotta see which one feels/fits better. Since the Inc4G isn't as wide as my Inc2, I think the added bulk won't be a problem. One question I have is about the TPU material sliding in and out of jeans pockets. Does it get stuck and pick up lint like the silicon case or is it fairly slick? Is it gonna be a battle royal every time I want to pull this thing out of my pocket?

Well don't know if this helps but my last experience with seido surface for the GS4 was pretty bad after a month use the rubberized paint on it started wearing off and Seido refused to do anything about it. I used to always get their holsters for my HTC phones and had no issues. 1st case I had an issue with they refused to do anything about it and I paid $50 direct from seido also. I would not buy another seido product. But that's just me. The price is nice though I just would not expect it to last more than a month without the finish pealing off.
I read here that it wouldn't work with a TG unless it was a really thin TG. Not sure if true or not.
I was the user that had the issue. I do not recommend it. I had the SPIGEN GLAS.tr. It pushed the screen protector down almost making a cracking sound, to which i saw air bubbles form. The bubbles went away after I put it on with a decent amount of force. This stupid case is not meant to work with a good screen protector because it hugs the phone too tight. I guess that was the purpose of their design. The biggest issue was taking it off. People without screen protectors on Amazon complain about how hard it is to take off without a screen protector. Now, with one, it's IMPOSSIBLE. I cannot explain to you enough how IMPOSSIBLE it is (NOTE: I'm a strong enough guy 180 lbs 6 feet tall athletic build. I open and lift things easily without issue when it comes to impossible soda bottles or things that get stuck in the house). I ruined my silver bezel edge with a tiny scuff due to this stupid case as I tried for 30 minutes to get it off. It just would not come off. So I was like screw it. I ended up just pulling the area where both pieces connect and yanking it to the side while digging (damaging my nail) to have them disconnect and send the bottom piece flying. Luckily, there was no damage to the case so I was able to get my money back and full refund on Amazon. However, the silver plastic top bezel had a tiny scuff, which really annoyed me because I'm OCD like that and keep my phones and other tech flawless with protective cases/screen protectors; I keep my items in NEW/MINT condition if I ever want to sell something. Also, I don't mind buying the casing to replace the bezel, which I did for my Note 2 when it fell on concrete with a case that did not protect the top or bottom (like SPIGEN Ultra-fit). However, with the Note 3, they have the Silver Plastic glued to the screen LCD portion instead of the backside like the Note 2. So that means instead of 15 bucks you have to spend $200+ to replace it. NOT WORTH IT.
This was just way too difficult. Save yourself the trouble if you really want to protect your phone and your screen. You're better off with a UAG or something similar. I use the SPIGEN Bounce and it works very well with the GLAS.tr.
@opasha Do you have the holster for the Surface case, and do you have any other cases? I'm curious how well other cases fit in both the Surface holster and Dilex holster. Can't decide if I'm gonna buy one of those holsters, or the holster for the naked phone.

Sorry bro, I never really use holsters. My dad does. He has a UAG case for his S3 and the DILEX and SURFACE were too small. However, the CONVERT holster fit perfect for him. I have a BOUNCE case and I'm sure the DILEX holster would work for that. I'm pretty sure for anything to fit in a SURFACE holster, you would need to have a very bare minimum case like SPIGEN ULTRA-FIT or something along those lines...if that.

Sorry bro, I never really use holsters. My dad does. He has a UAG case for his S3 and the DILEX and SURFACE were too small. However, the CONVERT holster fit perfect for him. I have a BOUNCE case and I'm sure the DILEX holster would work for that.

That's cool, I appreciate it anyway! I thought I'd read before that the Bounce case fit in the Surface holster, but want to be sure before I make the purchase. I would imagine it will, as the Bounce and Surface cases are pretty similar in size. I'm afraid that the Dilex holster will be too big, and not hold the Bounce(or a similar sized TPU case) very tight.

Yeah, I feel you. The Bounce does feel very similar if not a little thinner than the Surface. It actually might fit.
Got my Surface today! I love it. It's exactly what I hoped. The only problem, which is a big one by the way, it's not compatible with my 9H Iloome. The protector started to bubble on one of the corners. It was so tight that I wasn't sure that I could get it on and it also wouldn't snap closed. If you take the battery cover off, it fits just fine. But I'm not sure that I want to use it like that. I may buy a thinner TG screen protector, like the iloome flex, but I'd hate to throw away the $25 that I spent on the 9H.
