The cover fits perfectly (though not due to the material as tight as the Casemate Barely There, I had for my HTC Desire) and does not interfere with the operation of the buttons and the display. Even for microphones and speakers all recesses are present.
Beware of plugs for the headphone output: this should not exceed, as they will not fit in the corresponding casing recess has an outer diameter of 6mm.
By Cover the Note 2 is also protected against scratches when planning Put on the display side, as it brings a scarce millimeter distance between the display and shelf space.
The shell is übrigends high gloss and matt not as it seems on the product photo.
Just for the record (I do not mind): the shell has a to the edge running, seam, which is probably due to production.
Actually, I wanted to use the shell as a transitional solution until Casemate brings out a BarelyThere Case for Touch 2. But I consider strongly whether I even want to go - much better, the Grade 2 with a "minimum-cases" are not protected.
