Included are three components: a screen protector, a silicone shell (inside) and a hard plastic cover (comes over the silicone sleeve). The protective film is not absolutely necessary, but does not affect perceived also the touch behavior. Also, the S-Pen is still working.
The cover makes the already very large Note 2 again a whole corner is greater. Heavy in your pocket, it goes by now not necessarily - who has brought it purely by then, it receives then still pure; the surface is smooth, you can still get good pull out from his pocket the device. Decisive, the dimensions change in any case only in the thickness of the device. The Note 2 is a very thin device, with the Otterbox I would call it (relative to its other dimensions) "normal".
The side buttons (on / off, volume) are also included from Silkon and must be pushed a little harder. That does not really bother, in the otherwise very narrow pocket is unlocked then even more slowly unintentionally. For the S-Pen a gap is cut out, you can take and place back without any problem it continues to be. The speaker is still audible (also omitted), the camera and flash have a sufficiently large cut above, so you no black shadows or similar on the picture, as in some other cases. The operation is thus not deteriorated. I personally like the feel with applied casing of the phone a little better. The original battery cover is typical Samsung's otherwise somewhat cheap and rickety, with Otterbox though the device has something catchy, besides, I have with Otterbox also no longer feel the phone would be heavier than the top in the bottom half. The connectors for headphones and USB are also protected with small flaps that you have to fumble out first before you can use it. In the beginning the going very difficult, with time, but puts the.
The protective effect: the sleeve goes beyond 1-2 millimeters beyond the front, that is, when the mobile phone's display is incident on, it lands on the casing and not on the glass. Mir is the device (as expected, so I've bought the shell) now already fallen several times on the floor or when boarding's car down, while the mobile phone has taken no damage, the shell also no visible.
The price is a little expensive but the machine itself was still expensive. If you want to resell it after a while, the investment pays for itself in a protective sheath in any case, the device will still look like new.
