Q. I cannot find any nice cases for this phone! I love the Galaxy Note 2 but stores/websites act like it doesn't exist! I am sooo sick of hearing about the S3 and the iPhone 4 and 5. There are a few cheap cases here and there for the SGN2 but iPhone 4 and 5 and Samsung Galaxy S3 have a much larger variety! Where can I find good cases? Is it because the phone is still fairly new?
A. I also have a Galaxy Note 2 and found it hard to find a case that I liked. The reason is simple... when the Galaxy Note came out.. it was the largest sized cell phone on the market. Most of the Universal cases sold at stores and mall kiosks don't carry anything that can fit the Note's larger size. However, relief is on the way. Since Samsung's been extremely successful with the Notes.. other manufacturers are coming out with 5-6" in models now... so that means the next generation of cases will be large enough for the Galaxy Note 2+.
As for my case, I checked Best Buy, Target and Staples and none of them had case for my phone. The tech guy at Staples told me they would get some larger cases for the Note 2 soon. I ordered a horizontal holster case from Newegg.com for $10. It wasn't what I wanted.. but it sure beat paying the $60 AT&T wanted to charge for the case they sold.
How do I claim my free case?
Q. A T-Mobile employee informed me if I go into the Samsung site and enter my serial number for my Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I'll get a free case.
I don't see where I can enter my # or claim the case.
A. That was a short lived promotion. They ran out of cases. (Bummer, I know).
I think to supplement them running out of cases they were offering 20-30% off the case when purchased through the site. (this is BS because the same case is cheaper on amazon than the discounted case off samsung's website.)
What is the best tablet in your opinion?
Q. for me, i think it's Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 because i can play, watch movies, design pictures and even use it in education!
A. O.S:
Android. If you want Windows 8 stick away from them for a while this video will explain everything very well. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=C_wrAzhVKPw . or just avoid the surface RT tablets due to software compatability issues and wait for the tablets with x86 processors to become available. Don't go with Apple unless you understand other options and better value (my opinion).
Most powerful:
Asus transformer. Great design, powerful hardware and most up to date Android OS. Can do everything the Galaxy note can bet better and faster. 10-11 inches. hefty price tag though. can be used in conjunction with a keyboard for word prossecing and other educational uses.
Portable:
this would go to the Nexus 7. Excellent size and powerful hardware as well as feeling great during use. Dimesions are proportioate and a variety of cases are available. Asus made and google marketed and funded to make quality control at utmost importance. cheap and high quality ($250 AUD). beware that it is in its first genereation and educational uses may be impractacul.
Tips:
Avoid any unknown O.S.' (Operating Systems). The most well known and the best are Android, iOS and Symbian with the most progressing and future proof being Android. Unknown O.S' (e.g. some HP tablets include an unheard of O.S") have limited app support so hardly anything is developed for them due to limited market.
Shop around. Spending time researching your purchase is always a good idea. Get the best deal and don't forget about added costs of accesories, warranties and software. Check that the product your looking for has the desired accessories available and at least has as little proprietary ports as possible, but that is not a nesscity.
Avoid gimmics. Don't by a tablet because you can do a task that has limited capability. i for example chose the 3-d option on my laptop but find myself hardly using it. if you are comparing 2 or more tablets and one has more practical functionality than go for it.
Storage and compatability tips:
if you must decide on 2 similar tablets, i would choose the one with external storage capability. This means you could but a micro sd card into the machine and expand your storage.beware of the Andorid market as each different model or brand will likely feature different chargers or device connecters.
Other tips:
- Buy within your budget. Don't splurge to get the bleeding edge, get what you require. most tablets will fit your requirements of video, picture editing and educative uses.
- Avoid first generations. They can sometimes be buggy or low on features when compared to other tablets.
if you're looking for mobile internet connectivity, possibly get your tablet on a plan.
cheers and hope this helped and sorry for the miss spellings, i was in a rush :P
