Did you catch the Samsung Galaxy Note commercial that aired during the Big Game on Sunday? You can now pre-order the device at Best Buy, Best Buy Mobile, or online at BestBuy.com/Mobile and get a free Protective Flip Cover Case (value of $29.99) when you activate the phone (while supplies last).

The Samsung Galaxy Note has all the benefits of a tablet but the functionality of a smartphone. It features a 5.3" HD Super AMOLED screen, a dual core processor, 8MP rear facing and 2MP front facing cameras, and 16GB memory expandable to up to 32GB with optional microSD card. And, as seen in the commercial below, the device features a new S Pen stylus which can be used to write e-mails, texts and more in free-form handwriting.
