hello everyone Michael here with the daily note 2 youtube channel and welcome
to another episode of galaxy note 2 tips and tricks episode 28 today i want to go
over how to pick the best case for the galaxy note 2 and as you could see I have
gone through four of them already
and they were all expensive lessons and i wanna share the insights that I've gained
from going through all four those cases
traditionally i would never offer or i would never suggest a case to anybody
because
hey just enjoy the phone for what it is the best screen
protector is called gorilla glass and you already have it and that is not the case
with the samsung galaxy note 2 because it has these
four vulnerable coners on the glass and it is because the phone is very heavy
in a relatively speaking but imagine if it fell
about forty five degree angle face down
and it all that force landed on those four coners and i've
heard stories where
people get cracks on their screens from drops
even as low as two feet high and
i do believe them because
these stories do
tend to circulate in the forums not often but
frequently enough to where I believe the
glass cracking on the samsung galaxy note 2 is a real issue for
this device
so maybe one thing you'll need is insurance for your phone from your
carrier i believe they offer something like fee
five dollars a month and then you're covered for
it being lost stolen or
damages
and before you open to anything like that make sure it recovers chips
spidering
or cracks and
exactly you should understand exactly what the process is in getting a
new
screen or new phone out to you it may or may not be to your
liking
but anyway
as for cases i just wanna
cover out to
so the case you're probably most familiar with the samsung flip cover
it is a beautiful case i really like it
but if you've used one, you probably notice it offers no protection for the
sides or top here
and the bottom
and maybe the way it's designed i think these two coners are
okay
but i'm not sure if it fell if it would do anything for these two coners
if it would be prevented from cracking because there's nothing that holds this
flap onto the phone and maybe
one is dropping maybe open all along the way
so as it terms as damage goes this is not the best case for
drops
but it is
awesome for things in your pockets you have to keys in your pocket and put
them in there accidentally this would definitely protect
scratches on the screen from anything your pocket but not from
drops so what i was thinking that i wanted and needed was some kind of a
flip type cases
with the plastic latch that hold on
that would make sure that the flap doesn't open
accidentally dropped the phone
and that's exactly what i found i found this Anymode
card stand folio case it was about 25 dollars here in South Korea
and i put this phone into this case
and as you can see it offers me pretty good protection.. the plastic is
raised off the glass even more so than other covers that i've had so
if i were to drop the phone and it is landed like that it would still be covered
and I try to touch on all four those corners that i showed you and
through the coners were great this corner maybe half is not as well
protected because they want to cut away some of the plastic to pull out
so that you can pull out the S pen
and another thing that was a total bummer was that this latch
does not work that well
and
i was ready to return this case but it was the last
one they had and
so I was thinking of a way to use it and i thought of getting like two pieces
of post notes here's the sticky part
so I stuck that onto the back of this phone
and i kinda put it in there like that it actually makes the flap work
and i think i could definitely use this it has just a right amount
of give
I could pull it apart comfortably and then close it like that
and i believe it is
it's nice to see that the cases are progressing to actually
protecting this glass
and hopefully
the information and preventing you gives you insight on
what to look for
one extra bonus is that this case it works as a stand it's called
remember it's called the card stand folio case
and
it's pretty cool i think I'll use it
so anyway i hope you got some information out of this video and
