Flip case ...should you use one. .

I use a tpu style case with a flip cover, and it has saved my screen twice. i will never go without a flip case for as long as I have this phone.

First time, I tripped while walking, and the phone fell out of my hands, but the flip cover closed in mid-air and landed screen-down on rocky asphalt. second time, the phone was sitting on my desk, flip cover closed, and a decoration fell off my shelf and landed on my phone, putting a dent in the flip cover, but my phone was fine.

I absolutely love my titanium flip cover. Perfect solution for this device without adding a lot of extra bulk around the edges. I love how the flip keeps the screen protected in my pocket and when its flipped open and turned to the back when I'm using it, it gives a little nice extra grip on the backside for using it one handed. Very happy with my purchase.

I had the flip cover on my Note I & Note II until one day it fell out of my pocket and put some scratches on the chrome bezel on the corner.
The flip looks great and does protect the screen, but does NOT protect the rest of the phone, especially the chrome around the outer edge. That really ruined my day scratching it like that. So off came the flip and on went this rubber & plastic cover made by "Cube" I got at the local mall that protects it better. has a lip around the screen and I have a screen cover on it too. Look nice too!
