Note 2 Case: Does anything like this exist?

[maniac5999]

I've never used a phone case before, and have carried my Note naked for the last 6 months, but after developing a tiny scratch at the corner of the screen, I've started to reconsider getting something to protect the screen. At the same time, I'd also like to have one less thing to carry, so the idea of a wallet-case intrigues me.

After looking at wallet-cases on amazon for 30 minutes, I've concluded that they're all HUGE. I carry my note in my front pocket, and in some pairs of jeans it barely fits, and only isn't uncomfortable because it's so thin. Most of these cases are like an inch thick.
(Example cases: http://www.amazon.com/Mercury-Multi-...=note+2+wallet )

At the same time, we've all seen samsung's flip cover, which replaces the standard plastic back, and has a flap that covers the front: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galaxy...e+2+flip+cover
What I'm wondering is there anything that combines the minimalist idea of the flip-cover, with the idea of a wallet-case, with a few CC pockets and a bill slot?

Funny i have used the flip case on mine for the last 3 months, just took it off and went naked yesterday. Feels like such a different phone now ha.

Be careful with cheap cases, they tend to not have a cutout for the home button and that will leave your screen on.

I'll remember about the home button, but the case you linked to has the same issue as the one I linked, doesn't replace the plastic back with another thin one to keep the assemblage thin, it goes over and around the phone. I'm normally pretty good with phones, I'm not really looking for drop protection, i'm looking for something that covers the screen, and has space for my licence, a credit card or two, and a few dollar bills.

I have that slim flip cover which replaces the back panel. Its nice and doesnt bulk up the phone at all, but keep in mind it also doesnt protect the edges. Most of the time when a large flat phone drops the aerodynamics will make the edge a target for the floor.

I changed it out for the original back panel and an Otterbox. Yes its bulky, but it actually protects my 800 dollar device.

I recommend some sort of rubber covering at the bare minimum. Just my opinion.

Eh, don't think you're going to get what you're looking for. I don't think the case I linked is too thick, but that's just my opinion. I don't have a problem fitting the Note 2 in any of my pockets.
