Does anyone know a good case with a kick stand? The most important features are just the kickstand and thinness. I know Casemate makes a great one, but it's way too thick.
This one seems okay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/TPU-FoldOut...ccessories&hash=item2eb8015e60#ht_2188wt_1163
But I'd have to make a slight modification for the microphone, and most importantly, I don't know if it will fit. I'm quite weary of any of these cases that can fit both the international and ATT versions.
I bought my GS2 on launch day and ATT had 4 different cases in the store. Case Mate was the only one offered with a kick stand but it felt cheap so I opted not to get it. There was a nice leather case but none of them fit the phone, lol. Guess those will be sent back.

try the casemate case...I know it looks cheap, but it has a kickstand and its hard rubber, so its decent for impact
Case
Thanks for the link and the info...I too got my SGSII on launch day and was disappointed at the lack of accessories and items available for the AT&T branded SGSII. I even have communicated with Body Glove about one of their cases (As I have been a fan of that one and used it on my Cappy and Infuse both) but they said they will not be producing a Body Glove case for our phone So I am going to try the above listed one and I will let you know. Maybe even post some screens and update the thread.

Awesome. Please do.
I use the casemate pop case with the kickstand, it's held up pretty well. Used one on my infuse previously as well.

I agree. Its no body glove, but it gets the job done.

I bought this today instead of the leather case...
Its definitely not as bulky as I thought it would be (previous experience with the thrill and infuse pop cases) and the kickstand works great!
It also fits real nicely. The leather case seemed a little too tight and that it would require some effort to put in properly

Had trouble verifying my Paypal account for some reason. I ended up paying more at Amazon for the case. Ended up costing $8.90 cause of NY tax.

I've had this for about 3 days now. I think its called Minisuit
Pros: Thin, light, tight fit, good kickstand, cheap, quick delivery
Cons: no hole for secondary mic, generic micro usb rechargers have trouble given cutout (stock cable works fine)
Happy enough with it for now.

Yeah, it's called Minisuit. I ordered it via Amazon.
Luckily it's TPU and not a hard case so I can make that second opening.

I was considering that one, but hard cases are more difficult to cut the mic opening.
ny gs2 doesn't say Samsung or att on front.... only says galaxy S on back cover... is that supposed to be like that
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I777 using xda premium
Ok, I got the case.
Doesn't fit 100%.
The bottom in particular, but it's barely noticeable. The top mic needs to be cut out some more, which shouldn't be too difficult since it's not plastic.
Case actually looks a lot better than I expected. The kickstand is very flimsy, which I expected. Once you put the stand up, don't put any pressure on it. It's very likely to just snap off. The power button becomes pretty stiff, too.
They also ran out of minisuit keychain screen cleaners. They said if I want one, email them about how I feel my order is "incomplete without one," and they'll send one when they have more stock.
Kind of a weird way to make us word it.
Either way, I'd recommend this if you need a very sleek and thin case that doubles as a flimsy kickstand.
I finally talked a co-worker into buying a real phone, he went all out and got a Note 3. He ordered a blue Otterbox Defender and I cringed because I had read more than a few negative comments about it, never mind the fact that it was going to turn an already monstrous phone into something comical in girth and usability.
Well, I couldn't have been more wrong. I was downright shocked at how svelte the case was, and it is awesome in every way that counts. It looks good, it feels good, the buttons work perfectly, and it is some nice soft protection on the corners. I was dropping it onto a table onto a corner from about six inches up and it was just a very nice 'boing' when it hit (my co-worker did not share my enthusiasm for this part of the testing). Probably the most amazing thing of all is that it really feels good to use the screen. Yes, if you scrutinize you could see a faint rainbow effect under the wrong lights (like a lot of florescents), but it felt great. The screen cover on my iphone 4 otterbox was a joke, it ruined the feeling of the phone.
I don't even run with a case (I use Gelaskins, which are even more ridiculously slippery than my Note 2 already is), but if I jump ship to a Note 3 I would buy an Otterbox Defender in a heartbeat. I was downright amazed at how good it felt and looked.

Wait, you're saying that you talked them into buying a real phone, AND then that you had/have an iPhone 4, IN THE SAME STORY!?!? Fortunately you mention having a Note 2 now! Was this co-worker the one who talked you into buying a real phone? Lol

FYI if people wanted a link to it. I'm content with the S-view and I have insurance on my phone so if I break it, $50 for a new one. It's cool.

I'm on Verizon and I pay $9.99/month with a $100 deductible that covers virtually everything...malfunction/defect, damage, loss, or theft. I've been a Verizon customer for 12+ years now. Never have had any real issues with them concerning insurance claims, etc. We've had to file a few different claims over all these years and haven't really had any problems out of the whole "process" thus far. I remain satisfied and content, even if Verizon IS one of the last carriers to push out official OTA updates. Oh well, there's more to choosing a carrier than just how fast they get OTA updates to their customers. Yea, it's probably nice to get em a lot quicker like some other carriers are able to do, but I'm usually not too concerned about all that, so I'm still a happy camper either way.
just buy one
i buy the middle price ,use very nice and look like original,save money
I have this case and the design is much slimmer than the my note 2 Otterbox defender case!
It's not thick at all so Otterbox and svelte actually goes together in this case (no pun intended).....:thumbup:

I use an Otterbox commuter and it is surprisingly svelte compared to the amount of protection it affords. Otterbox really improved things a lot since the Note 2. The previous generation of cases were write awful.

I love my Black Otterbox Case w/clip.....I always take the screen protector off and scratch off the glue it uses to hold in place. The phone is of course bigger with this case but not as big as the Note 2 case was.
Very happy with the purchase. It has probably saved my phone a couple of times due to dropping.
This case really protects it. Even without the thick screen protector.

Really? how so? I had a white commuter on my Note 2 and I thought it was a great case all around other then I was unhappy when the soft material started to bow outwards from the case and it looked kinda stupid but I now have a Note 3 and I didn't want the bulk of the commuter case like I had with my Note 2 and so i'm trying out Spigen cases instead.

Ribs on Note 2 case or Note 3?
Edit: Oh yeah, those. Never bothered me personally. I was just wanting something slicker then the bulky commuter but these spigen cases feel so flimsy and non protective compared to the otterbox's now. I think i've spent well over $100 at Amazon trying out cases this week, thank God for free amazon prime trial for included 2 day shipping.
So far what is everyone's opinion on the Nexus 6 cases you have, had, or are currently using?
Do you have brand or style preferences?
Kickstand, wallet, bumper?
Let's hear it all.

Really? The literally DOZENS of posts about cases aren't enough for you? Or you just like to see everything posted over and over, which is against XDA rules?
UAG for me.
The only best case is the one you like. People have different taste and needs so they go for the case that suits them. Do what I do, read thru the accessories section and search on YouTube for reviews. Regardless, you will not be able to tell if you like the case until you have it on your phone.

I have 7 or 8 cases at home for my N6. Mostly Spigen / Ringke. Have an Orly case too, as I recall.
I settled on the Ringke Fusion smoke colored case with a DBrand skin. Best feel, looks great, good protection. Seemed like the best all around case for me, although it is far from being as protective as your traditional otter box massive crash test enclosures. I don't want that kind of bulk, but it protects much better than the ultra slim cases too.

It's not exactly a magnet - I've had mine a mine a month and it looks fine
I bought one a few months back , in fact bought 2 as i had misplaced the one and later found it ,
For me they are just uselss, huge protection but bloats this beauty like a buffalo, becomes so much more difficult to handle the phone with one hand.
Certainly not for me , but if you have clumsy hands and your phone tends to fall a lot then go for it with eyes closed , nothing can ever protect a phone better than OTTERBOX
With the soft grip/nylon/leather back & strong screen this phone to me seems like an ideal canidate for a bumper case to protect the edges from getting scratched up. Anyone found/using one?
Thanks
Never had any luck with bumper cases. Always seemed to peel off when taking phone out my pocket. I just go with a full case but I always try and find one not so bulky.
Usually Verizon puts one out for their droids I think.

Moto X Pure comes with a bumper case, but I think that's because of the high likelihood of screen breakage on the phone.

I'm very happy with this TPU case ordered from Amazon.com. It is offered in a few colors. They are about as thin a case as I have ever used. I did have a thin hard shell case for my Moto X that I liked a bit better. But, this does the trick and improves the handling.

I haven't seen anyone making just a nice simple rubber bumper yet for this phone.
If you find one, please post it!
I would really want a bumper one friend of mine has a moto x and it look really clean.
Incipio Bumper?
I emailed Incipio and asked if they had plans to make a bumper for the T2. Maybe it would help if more people emailed them and asked. Here is the email I got back.
Hello,
Thank you for the email. At this time we are not sure if we are going to release a bumper case for the Moto Droid Turbo 2. We kindly ask that you follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter for upcoming announcements and release dates.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.
