Originally I had this case before BoxWave even had it. This is a generic case that BoxWave just put their name on. I loved this case so much that I bought another to replace my old one. (long story on how but it wasn't the case's fault)The Samsung Note is a big phone, but I didn't want to make it any bigger. A lot of case will make the phone bigger than what it is. But I didn't like the phone without a case because it is very slippery. This case fits perfectly and gave you a nice grip to hold the phone. It didn't make the phone that much bigger either.The case also had a nice bumper on it so if you dropped the phone it will take some of the impact. Also if you drop it facing down on the screen, it will prevent it from getting scratched.The only drawback to the case is the white rim around the edge won't stay white. My previous one was stained by my jeans in a few weeks and had a bluish/grey tint to it. I had the new one for about 2 weeks now and it is stained already. It is not that big of a deal to me but to some people it could be.
