Yes they have a couple coming soon if you click on the case you want (for me will be the defender) it will ask you for an e-mail address to be notified when they come out. which looks like January Smiley Sad this is according to the e-mail they sent me. I was hoping much sooner than that.Smiley Sad

They've done studies, you know. 60% of the time, it works every time.

I've been watching/reading a lot of reviews and comparisons lately, perhaps boredom/anxiety, and for the most part there are some pretty unfair comparisons between the Note 2 and the Droid DNA. Now it's one thing for VZW to act funny because they have some kind of partnership involving the Droid brand. But, what's with reviewers?! They talk on and on about the screen resolution and benchmarks of the DNA and hardly at all about the features the Note 2 has over it. Plus, they gloss over the DNA's shortcomings as if they aren't actually relevant saying for instance that the battery lasts all day. Yeah...ok.  If I weren't so knowledgeable even I might go get a DNA based on the way they make it sound like they're pretty much equal except for the resolution, benchmarks, and beats audio.

What about popup video player, S Pen (and S Pen apps), multiscreen, popup browser, removable storage, larger/removable battery, and noticeably larger screen?

The only thing I really wish the Note 2 had that the HTC phones always come equipped with is the text reflow where you can zoom in the browser and it automatically re-wraps the text to fit the screen no matter how big you make it. They must have a heck of a patent on that technology though because I don't know any other phones that have it and there aren't even any apps to mimic that feature; even when rooted.

I personally believe many of the reviewers are not fans of phablets or styluses (styli?).

I am glad someone else thinks text reflow is an important feature, and I finally found a solution--Boat Browser. I am using it on my Note 1 and it works just the way it should.

I just read yesterday that there is an add-on to Dolphin Browser that does the same thing, but I can't remember where I read it.

Edit: One other great thing about the Boat Browser is that it lets you pinch zoom and reflow text on web pages formatted for mobile. This is the only browser I've seen that lets you do this. The Maxthon Browser claims to reflow text, but it won't reflow on mobile formatted web pages.

I found the Dolphin Browser add-on needed for the text reflow.  It's Dolphin Browser v9.0.1 (with Jetpack v1.0.1). You have to download the Jetpack to make it work with JB.

Do you really need to post this in multiple threads? It's pretty pathetic that after starting a new thread with the same material that you felt the need to post it here too, someone is apparently attention starved.The obvious answer is to keep your S3 and stop wasting your money on a new phone every couple of months.

Thank you. I tried it, and it lacks the capability of re-flowing mobile formatted web sites which are sometimes the hardest to read because of the small text. Boat Browser is still the only one that does this as far as I know. Give it a try when you have time.

One of the most pathetic things about these people complaining about the branding is that most os them are willing to pay full price for the phone but think it's a big deal for a .50 cent sticker
