The US Versions of the S3 from what has been said by all major outlets, is physically identical to the international version, meaning all cases and screen protectors should fit...i just preordered mine via amazon estimated delivery is the 28th of june, I love the Diztronic TPU cases their website says they should have the US Version cases by the 21st which coincides with the US Launch...if this is the case i'll be ordering a TPU case that comes with a screen protector, and by the time i get the phone on the 28th, my accessories will be here ready to go =)

SGP Cases are Compatible

SGP's site says the cases for the international version of the Galaxy S2 are compatible with the AT&T and Asian version. This is great news as these are very high quality and stylish cases. I e-mailed them about whether or not a different screen protector would come with the case as it doesn't have the home button but either way I know what I'm getting!
http://www.sgpstore.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s2.html
The phone is longer and thicker. Get it at you own risk. There is another thread that talk about the dimensions.
I've been told on another forum that a member who works for AT&T and already has the phone has confirmed the fit of the SGP. (pretty sure)
I have an incipio tpu ish case on mine...
Fits perfect but it looks like the 2nd microphone on top is covered.

It may fit, but the noise cancelling mic on the AT&T GS2 is not aligned in the center like on the international version. If the case has a small hole for the mic you would have to poke a different hole if you use it for the AT&T GS2.
Email from SGP
We are in the process of making screen protector for ATT version Galaxy S2, and we will have them in about next week.
For the cases, please allow 1-2 weeks to find out if they are going to be compatible with our lineup.
Please email us if you have any other question.
SGP Screen Protectors are already available on their site.. unless it's not ready to ship?
Got this email today, asking about cases.
We do not know if we are going to make cases for ATT Galaxy S2 at this moment.
Please check back our website next week for future update.
Thank you.
SGP just removed their statement on their website about the our At&t version being compatible. Glad I just went with the casemate

They did that because they now have an "AT&T version" the only difference between these two are that the AT&T version has an AT&T compatible screen protector so not the biggest deal.
I just got my SGP Ultra Thin Air case in the mail today. Although the case was obviously made for the international version, it fits very nice (with the addition of both the case liner stickers that are included). Most importantly, the second mic is NOT blocked.

Skyrocket Accessories

Has anyone managed to find decent accessories for the Skyrocket? Tried 3 ATT stores in NYC, none had a case or screen protector.
I'd love to see a barely there, or any for that matter?
just to let you know, I can't find anything online but was able to find an otterbox at an ATT store. Looks like the only option for now. They also had iVisor screen protectors for the ridiculous price of 25$. They don't even look good when fitted. I wouldn't recommend them. Wait for the realook protectors coming on the 12th on amazon.
I grabbed a $25 otterbox case from my att store. They also had a $35 case with a kickstand.
I'm having trouble finding a car charger though.....the one I bought from att can't seem to charge the phone while using it.

Cases - Do we know for sure if International version will work?

I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.

Best Buy giving away free case!!
I got a free case from Best Buy for Preordering my Note from them and then they gave me $50 bucks!

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!

As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

For Seidio Fans
Seidio has a place holder up for the Galaxy Note! Won't be long now before the cases come out. I wonder if they will include a holster for the surface case?

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:
Will a screen protector come with each of those cases?
I noticed the purple S-Line link doesn't go to product page.....But will you guys still be selling it in that color?
And finally, does the Gloss and S-Line cases both feel about the same?
EDIT: Nevermind. I scrolled through your product pages and was able to find that purple case.
Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

this is the email i got from tpu
clay also is an international note owner
A customer support staff member has replied to your support request, #711 with the following response:
Hi Tyler,
We are making a case for it, we just wanted to be sure that the AT&T version was the same as the International version. I'm glad we waited as it turns out the AT&T version is slightly thinner. I'm still waiting on confirmation of the mic placements as well, AT&T has been known to move them on previous phones. As soon as we have a 100% confirmation of the design of the phone we will start making our mold.
Best,
Clay
We hope this response has sufficiently answered your questions. If not, please reply to this email.
Errr lol....I predicted all along that basically all intl Note accessories should work with at&t version.
But if the info from them is accurate, then looks like the opposite.
I'm also counting on those various HK and Singapore vendors to quickly release TPU cases for at&t Note.
I only have used TPU cases for the last several phones I had....best combination of thinness, and the dust repellant element.
I hope its not true just received my tpu case I paid 5 bucks for. Looks great hopefully it works. We will see on the 19th. They don't even have a phone to verify the thickness. So how can they be sure?

I'm just glad the $30 case I ordered was advertised for the i717 . . . sending it back if it doesn't fit!!
Rearth is selling theirs as i717 specific and the cases look identical (mic placement). They have pictures up of the case on the i717 but I wouldn't be surprised if they're photoshops.
tpu-cases by diztronic are top notch and the best cases i have ever used on my phones.
matte black of course

Rearth just emailed me back and said they designerd their i717 cases with a unit in hand. Assuming that's true that means mic placement is the same as N7000 based on these pictures.
I went to best buy yesterday and an employee gave me a note model to check if my case would work. It does. mic placement is the same.

I meant best overall case i've ever used. Im including the 10$, 25$, and even the 35$+ ive spent on cases.
It's super light, it's durable, doesnt scratch easily, the material is flexible yet super tough, and it protects the entire side/back of the phone. Use a decent screen protector, and chances of your phone ever getting knicked/scratched are pretty slim to none.

I just got this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/360432836241?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 take a look tell me how great it is
Exactly the same case can be had for $4.88 + Free shipping
http://www.ebay.com/itm/110824258506
These US sellers really make killing profits on this. These case are OEM case, real cost is like $2 or less. They import them in large quantity to US and sell for $16+
So.. Yes, you're still sending money to China but now you're also giving $14+ to US middle man
You have the right to your own opinion and you have the right to do whatever you want with your money, if you're happy to spend that much, then good for you.
But I also have my own opinion and here it is..
You know what, the real cost for this is actually in the range of 10-20cents.
US sellers (most of them are individuals working from their garage) import them in bulk, with import taxes and shipping cost, there's no way it will be more than $1 for each case.
If these US sellers sell the case for $10 (that's 900% profit) or less I won't mind buying from them. But selling it for $16+ and saying MSRP for this is $30+ is just pure greed.
I'm all in for supporting US economy, if these cases are made in US and selling for whatever price, I wouldn't think much before buying from them.
Oh, btw, another bad news for you, about 90% of the price you pay for your new Galaxy Note goes to South Korea.

[Q] AT&T HTC One X+ - What case to get ?

I been trying to decide on a case to get for my phone, i also herd there are issues with some cases with AT&T LTE? These cases are One X.. which is the same size as one x+? I herd the international ones are smaller ?
These are my choices so far:
The less bulky:
http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-One-X-Cases/Case-Mate-HTC-One-X-XL-Tough-Case.asp
http://www.seidioonline.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=CSR3HTNXLK-BK
http://www.shopandroid.com/amzer-skin-case/4AA11730.htm
the bulky:
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/htc-one-x-edge/kraken-ams-case-htc-one-x-edge.aspx
http://www.otterbox.com/HTC-One-X-C...4-83100_color=20&start=2&cgid=htc-one-x-cases
something different:
http://ion-factory.com/xforce.php
I would like to have a case that protects my phone but also does not make it any more larger than it already is, i had the commuter otterbox on my last phone and it was bulky but my phone was atrix 4g so it was just the right size, the htc one x+ is big in my hands by itself. I do drop and ding my phone a bunch while i work or do outdoor activities, but not too extreme.

I had an online chat with a Seidio rep about the One X+ and the Surface case - they told me that neither the AT&T/LTE case or the International case will work. I am skeptical of that claim, so I am ordering one of each (w/o kickstand) to see which works better. I should have them next Tuesday.
Edit: Returned my phone today (last day of my 14 day return window) due to the bluetooth issue, so I will still have the cases on Tuesday, but won't be able to test them. If anyone is in the PDX area and wants to try (or buy?) them, let me know, otherwise they will be going back. FYI, the International version of the Seidio Surface case with holster in red or blue is less than $11 at Amazon, $50 at Seidio and $25+ for the AT&T version at Amazon, so very good deals.
im rocking this case, good luck breaking your phone in this case one piece design and its a sexy looking case, fitment is 100% perfect on att one x plus i paid $18 on amazon normally $35 at At&t
I got the case mate barely there. It looks amazing!
Just ordered a casemate, for now. Let me know if anyone has any of the other cases i mentioned, i am still curious.
I have the otterbox and find its not as bulky as some other cases and it provides really good protection as well.
