It's the screen cracking that I'm worried about. Have yet to drop it but at least with a case it might stand a chance.

That's what the tempered glass is for. Protects the screen from drops. They're more expensive than the plastic screen protectors, but they are worth it.

I got the Incipio folio style case. Don't like it. The flap definitely gets in the way. Even more than another folio style might because of how it fips open to make a viewing stand. I am probably at more risk of dropping it than without, but at least it has some protection if I do.

Get something on that phone and do it soon!

I have used Seidio before. They are very nice. I might end up with their Active. The urban Armor looks good. Ballistic makes a case similar to the otter box defender. I think it is nicer but very bulky.

I wish life proof made a case for us. Buggers!

I use the Tech 21 D3O case. It has some kind of 3 layer technology, you can see the orange layer around the sides. I used the same type of case on my S2. I love the low profile fit and it feels great in the hand.

I just got my Note 2 today and I love it.

The only issue I've noticed so far is when using Google sky map's, I have to have gps on. If I turn off my gps sky maps shows everything like I'm using it on the other side of the world. But that's the only problem I've noticed so far.

I wish I would have got this phone 2 months ago when it was released. I can't believe how great this phone is. Also the battery life is amazing! I have had almost 5 hours of on screen time and I'm at 49% and it's only my first charge.

I love this phone.

My thing with the Note (and Galaxy series in general) is that if I ding up the back I can just replace it, so why bother with a case?

We think alike dude

Casemate Tough Case is the best case I've tried for my Note 2... and I tried a lot! It's thin, rugged, grippy, and looks good.

I paid $30 for mine, and now I see them on Amazon for $16 Samsung Galaxy Note 2 Blue / Grey Tough Cases - Sold by CASE-MATE

I like the matte spigen screen protector I have atm though.

Does a glass screen protector truly protect it? I would consider a switch if that's the case.

Check out the drop test:

Drops it twice, pretty much flat on the ground. The ground was rough too, which is more realistic conditions. First drop wasn't too bad, second drop smashed the glass protector. He takes off the protector and screen is perfectly fine. It was an iPhone and not a Note 2, but it's all the same thing.

I personally have the Seidio Vitreo and not the one in the video, but tempered glass works. A normal plastic screen protector would need a case to protect from falls.

I went through this. Dropped my note 2 on concrete and the tempered glass shattered. I was upset because I had really forgotten I had the tempered glass protector on. After a few very painful mins I remembered,, slowly pulled the protector off and the screen was perfect. Because they took so long to answer my email they gave me a Replacement for 75 percent off,, normally they will replace for 40 percent off. FYI MY brand of choice is MEMI.

Ok that's awesome news

I'm hoping there is a matte version. If not, how are the ones you have in regards to fingerprints and glare?

Also, I take it these don't stratch easily?

Do you have a link? I tried Googling, but didn't find much. I'm always interested in looking at other brands.

I'm not sure if a matte version exists. So far I've just seen clear glass.

For fingerprints, it's not too bad. You still get fingerprints, but they wipe off easy. With plastic, oil seeps in and eventually ruins the plastic. It becomes almost impossible to clean after so long. With glass, fingerprints wipe off in seconds. The oil doesn't seep in so as long as you don't drop and crack it, the glass will hold up far longer than plastic.

The glass won't scratch easy, but it'll crack on drop. If the drop is short you could get lucky and not have it crack, but on longer drops it'll most likely crack. That's a good thing though as it's the protector cracking, not your devices screen.

I use the Best Buy Platinum series case.

I'm having trouble finding these glass protectors on uk online shopping sites. Like the ones on amazon don't seem to be a well known manufacter or have any reviews.

Cheers, but that means I'll have to import it from the US.

I was hoping for a UK based one.

i like to buy a cute case to protect me iphone.

[LadiJae]

I just have thin "fashion" cases if that's what u wanna call them. Its big and heavy enough that I don't feel like im going to drop it. No screen protector either, hate those. Haven't used one in years. Never had to replace any of my phones for a broken screen....

~Jae, tap'n on my Sexy White Galaxy Note 2~

[mtech5]

I wish they made a Lifeproof case for the Note 2.

No case, no screen protector. Just taking care of my phone by being careful :-)

I think all the glass manufacturers ship from USA. You can order from their website direct, but it'll be expensive. The Seidio Vitreo for example is $30 to ship to Manchester.
