Readers of Gizmodot will know that I love to try out different cases for my various gadgets, so it will come as no surprise that after getting acquainted with the Samsung Galaxy Note 2, I immediately set about looking into what cases were available for the phablet. When it comes to phones, recently I’ve been opting for gel cases but, with the size of the Note 2 and more specifically the screen size of the Note 2, I wanted something that would also offer protection for the screen. Samsung do their own flip case for the Note 2 and is like their S3 counterpart case but, I quickly learned that the Samsung flip case did not protect the sides of the phone.
The Momax Core Smart Case is available in black or brown with a brown gel back. It is also available in red or blue, with a white gel back. As well as the case, Momax include a screen protector for the Note 2 which fits easily, as well as a microfiber cloth. The case retails for £21.95 through MobileFun. Overall I am enjoying the case a lot, it provides all the protection I need and actually makes the handset easier to hold and makes me less worried about dropping the phone. There is only one issue I’ve had with the case and that is the S-Pen doesn’t function properly if the magnets of the case are near it, e.g. when the case is folded over whilst in use, this affects the S-Pen magnets so I need to adjust the case when using the S-Pen.
