I really really want a case that will double as a wallet, while offering increased protection. I've killed two phones from breaking the screen and I want to keep my new note 2 pretty.

Does anyone know any cases which will hold credit cards + drivers, and also give increased protection for the phone? Most of the wallet cases I've seen don't do a hell of a lot against droppage.

I apologize, I don't know what my case is called. However I bought it from Harvey Norman, it is leather full cover case and is held together by a elastic band & magnet. I can hold my CC and ID in it, pretty good case but will set you back 90 AUD

My current case is like this, so it gives some protection, but not a lot.

Does your one seem more protective than that?

Cheers :)

Best Protective Case ...

I have learned the hard way to go for maximum protection first, then add what else you need. The best protective case for the Note 2 is the UAG. I use the Black version called Scout. http://www.urbanarmorgear.com/collections/galaxy-note-ii/products/black-note-ii-case The only ting missing for me was a way to "clip it" on my belt. I tried several different clips from other vendors, and ended up breaking the belt clip off the holster. (I even tried the CONVERT® Holster, same problem).. For me , the best solution, ended up getting an inexpensive leather case (2 models, Horizontal & Vertical) with a built-in metal belt clip. These models fit the Note 2 while in the UAG case.

Which one I end up using, depends on where the belt loops are on the pants I am wearing each day.

Thanks for the reply RDI,

Do you prefer that case to the otterbox line?

Yes, less bulky, looks special (different from cheap knock offs), and better protection for the corners.

i have both the UAG case and otterbox. I use my UAG and verticle holster daily, i find the otterbox too bulky

i too am looking for a wallet, case and holster combo.

here's why i choose UAG over otterbox :)

Woah, awesome photos, thanks!!

Yeah I might have to give up for the combo - it's crazy. All I ever have wanted since smartphones became a thing was a protective wallet case so I wouldn't have to keep track of different things - I can't believe the market for this is so slim.

Currently I'm using this one.

http://izenus.com/galaxy-note-2-minimal-diary-collection.html

It is extremely rigid on the back and corners with thick protruding bumpers and as long as the flap is closed upon impact it offers great protection from drops. High quality leather and molded plastic. Some people complain about the snap cover but I actually use it as a sort of makeshift fly grip, using it to open and close the cover with one hand. All the cutouts are perfect as well. You can go the cover + pouch as others suggested and may get a little extra protection, but for my money I prefer the fact that I no longer need to carry a wallet.
