Nope. Unless it is a sleeve with some extra room they won't fit as the Note is larger.

This one just came up (for me) on the Best Buy site. A little cheaper than Belkin's other case, but still a crazy price when you consider that it's a fifth of the cost of a Nexus 7! In stock at most stores though.

I posted some pictures in the 'cases' thread (page 3). It doesn't cover the pen slot - there is a cut out that you can see in one of the pictures. It is a little awkward to take out, but the opening is there.
Found this case on eBay:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Leather-C...ouches&var=&hash=item1c2a4e3122#ht_1418wt_754
If I get the note (still waiting in Q&A to hear if anyone has had any luck with usb powered hard drives first) might get it, looks pretty decent, should protect things nicely. Appears to have the S-Pen slot uncovered I think, and has a loop for a spare S-Pen (which may be covering micro sd slot which doesn't bother as micro sd would be staying in tablet).
Only thing that puts me off is that the description is for the Nexus 7, hmmmmm.
Although for a little more is this blue one (also eBay) which at least has the description stating it's for the Note.

At least this case has small little holes for the speakers but I have a feeling they are far too small to not muffle the audio.
I'm really enjoying my Note so far but it's been delegated to sitting at home most of the time due to not having a good case for it! I sure hope they sell that book cover soon because I really like that.
That Belkin looked pretty good too but no sale date yet.

It looks like some parts stuck and some parts didn't. Anything I can do about this, or am I gonna have to live with it?
http://i.imgur.com/ZrtP4.jpg
honestly I don't see the need for it on the back cover itself. It's texture makes it difficult to stick a layer on it to begin with - but it's such a flimsy piece of plastic that will probably bend and very unlikely to have any damages to it even when the phone drops.
Happened to me too, throwing it in an otterbox(just wanted extra protection) so this doesn't affect me too much.

Yes, it's on. I applied it yesterday and thought it would get better, but it didn't.
That's how mine looks too. There's nothing you can do about it it seems. I've had mine for about 2 weeks now and still looks like that. It definitely has to do with the textured back... I'm going to just peel mine off and if it ever gets damaged, I'll just buy a new one.
Welp, it says this now on the BSE website:
Application Note: We have found the best method for applying the battery door Skin is without application solution. Simply damp your finger tips, align the Skin to the battery door and squeegee the air out from the center out. Any uneven effect will settle out within 24 hours.

Hey guys. If you apply the battery door Skin to your Galaxy Nexus with the standard wet method and it turned out like the above pictures, we'd be happy to send you a replacement back Skin so you can reapply it with the dry method. It looks much better when done that way. Just open a support ticket at bestskinsever com/support and we'll get you taken care of.
Thanks!

+1. michael at it again with excellent customer service!!! keep it up mike!!!
I can confirm that it fits the lte nexus. Its not 100% but the fit is pretty good. You would have to look really hard to tell that some seams have a wider gap than other BSE skins I've used.
I also have the extended battery and it fits the cover too. Just doesn't go to the edge. But its hard to tell that it wasn't made for the lte model.
Also apply the back using the dry method and it'll look a lot better.
Thanks

Thanks for the feedback on the LTE version. This is in line with previous feedback we've received. The minimal difference in size between the LTE and GSM models shouldn't be very noticeable with the Skin applied. As it is, the flowing lines of the Galaxy Nexus requires a pattern that includes a little room for error when applying any way. The coverage is still very good and detailed though.

Doh! If you open a ticket with support they can do something for you. Just mention this post.
Michael, two questions.
The edges on the skin are still tacky enough to collect lint. I did not have this issue on my previous devices with BSEs installed. Is there anything I can do to stop this?
Also, even though I used the wet application method for installing the screen skin, it seems as though the glue still stretched enough to cause distortion. Will this eventually even out or do I need to try again?
Thanks.
While looking for a desk dock I found this one from Samsung:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EDD-D100BEGXAR-gallery
Looks like it does come with a separate power adapter, which is nice. Amazon doesn't sell that one yet though.
I was thinking about getting this stand instead:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Should be compatible with Note 10.1 I take it. $10 is hard to pass up on too.
Do you guys like powered desk docks or stands better? Thanks.
The EDD-D100 does not come with a new power adapter. You have to use the power adapter and cable that came with the Note 10.1. The EDD-D100 package contains only the dock itself.
The dock should be widely available as it was sold for the older Tabs already.
Thanks for clarifying that. Odd, can't seem to find it on Amazon.
Yes, that's strange. Amazon.de (Germany) has it, Amazon.com not.
I have the Arkon and it works great for the Note and my Nexus 7.

It's my desk stand, and use it to hold the tablet while cooking.

I went to Amazon.com and found the same product from i.TREK for $7.50 compared to Arkon's price of $13.03.

Been using Arkon for a couple of days now. Sticky padding that tab rests on started peeling off. Probably gonna send it back.
Also got Samsung's dock but haven't opened it yet. Just thinking it might not be convenient using it as a main dock due to that connector. So, I think I'll keep looking.
Just buy some padding and replace it.
How about this?

Well my Hard-book Portenzo case with optional camera cutout and Intellistand arrived this morning. Have to say that the case is top quality and feels really sturdy.
Once again thanks to Portenzo for such an amazing case!
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-the-new-nexus-7/
Here are some pics
Even got a cool box drawing done by Lea who works in customer services.
Oh the pics above make it look like the case is a royal blue colour (damn flash).
It is really a "Dark linen blue" colour, here are some pics that are more accurate to the actual colour
Nice looking case, just don't really like how thick it looks when folded, and it's $54 shipped, too rich for my $260 device.

I have to say that I quite like the thickness as it is like holding a hardback book. Also the case feels very solid and I imagine it can withstand a few knocks.
Yeah it's not cheap, but it definately has a premium feel and is extremely well made.

It's got some sort of sticky grip tabs on it that hold the device in place.
You can check out the video I linked to see how it performs.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=atSCZxbLg_E
I was abit worried about this when I read about it but this video assured me that it won't fall out or have problems keeping the device from moving about or coming out.
You might be right about the edges but the case is ever so slightly bigger than the Nexus7 so the edges of the device are covered so it would still offer some protection.
Do you have a wireless charger you could test?

How long did they take to make yours? I ordered mine back on August 8 and after contacting customer service, they stated that they hope to be done with my case by middle of next week.
I'm not sure if this is common, but the turn around times are terribly long.
I have an Orange one. I owned one on my OG N7 and loved it. The sticky tape never comes off. Owned it for months and never adjusted it or had to reapply. I don't have the intellistand. Mime has 2 strips of tape and the camera hole. I paid like $24+shipping for mine during their preorder sale.
Mines orange, yellow interior, and a red strap. The orange is more of a burnt orange, almost brownish. I like it.
Qi Charging works with it. I use my Samsung all the time.
Its a tad thicker then those Moko and Poetic Ultra cases (I have a white Moko). Both are close though. I'm using the moko for a week to see how I like it but I can already tell you the Portenzo feels more durable. The craftsmanship is great.

Yeah unfortunately they do get super busy during the first few weeks of a new product launch due to the demand.
They hand make every case and as far as I know they are only a company of about 10-12 workers.

Yeah the band also blocks the camera hole when the case is shut but that is normal as portenzo designed it like that to limit the amount of dust that can get into the lens when the case is shut and also you can't use the camera when the case lid is shut anyway.
Opening up the case allows the camera lens to become unblocked.

It takes them usually a few weeks. They handmake everything on the case to order. Its a small shop. Everything is custom made. I ordered one for my nexus as soon as they was offered and mine was just send thusday so ill have it monday. Yes i bought one of the nicer ones around 120 paid. But its the best case u will ever own. You could put it on ur bookshelf and noone would know the difference. It will take drops and everything. Call me crazy but ill pay for a USA handmade case, made with care then a cheapass overseas made one that dont last a month. Ive seem some people wind up paying more for cases of cheap crap then they could have paid for 1 nice Portenzo. Check they website out and see how real cases are made. But all this is just opion also. This is my 2nd case. My first one lasted 2 Original Nexus and still was in beautiful condition.
Wicklet
Mine came a couple weeks ago. Love it. I got black outside with sky blue inside with dark blue elastic. My sister's order is still awaiting shipment. Definitely a nice case.

Does everyone just have the hardback style or did anyone get the bookcase? If you got the bookcase, have you found a wireless charger that works with it? Neither of mine are working on the samsung qi charger.....
Hey guys, have you noticed, Google is a bit lazy this year. I still haven't seen sign of official bumpers on the play store and my phone won't last more enough without a case. Anyone knows when will they be released? I mean come on, it's been two weeks Google. Hurry.

Yeah, they were supposed to release the official charger according to several sites as well. I wonder what the deal is!
I'm in the same dilemma too . I'm tempted to buy another case , since i'm scared i might drop my phone, Hope it comes out soon.
Google wants people to break their Nexus 5 so they will buy another Nexus 5
I'm really getting sick and tired of the supply problems with Google... Every single device that they release has supply issues and accessories are even worse. How hard can it be to make more devices for launch and have the official accessories ready to purchase at launch?!
They hype their products and "leak" details to get people interested and then don't produce. It's very frustrating. Anybody should be able to buy a nexus 5 or any accessories at launch and have it ship the next day.

For $35, there are better cases to spend your money on.
They released it for a few minutes on N5's release day, a few people bought and got them, they haven't put it up since then
The official Google bumpers are terrible. They're bulky and they feel cheap. Not to mention they're not truly bumpers since they cover the back. I really don't recommend them.
I would not be surprised if they are working on a real bumper to replace the one they have now.....something like the N4 bumper would be nice
I liked my friends a lot so I ordered one of eBay a few days back will post a mini review once it arrives in the next few days

I just got mine from eBay and actually really like it. Fits awesome and feels really nice. It had kind of a weird back slope on the side of the case but it's still feels good in hand. Is it worth $35? Certainly not, but if you don't mind paying a little extra I think it's nice.

The one I bought was from a guy that had one so that link isn't up anymore, but this one is still up.
http://m.ebay.com/itm/121214894020?nav=SEARCH&sbk=1
I paid 52 including shipping which is basically what Google would charge (a little more but it wouldn't be by much)

To be honest I wouldnt pay $15 again for that case. Thing made the phone feel like a giant square brick and the buttons on the sides were awful.

Good to know bud. Looked like the cover would protect the phone quite well.

This is the same as the Moko case. I have it for the Samsung 8" great case. The magnetic clasp works really well.
Also the same as the Asuxtek.
I was going to order it but it would have been 30+ days for delivery.

Not sure what you are referring to. The Amazon.com link provided above will not ship to my address in Ontario.
The Asuxtek which is the only similar one I found on Amazon.ca is taking 30 days for delivery.
Good video, thanks.

Not very much at all I think you would have a hard time finding one that added less weight/thickness then this one. I am very happy with mine so far. Mine took 15 days to be delivered I ordered it from Amazon.

Gonna wait a few weeks to see if a red version shows up - the equivalent I saw for the N7 2013 looks pretty snazzy. Thanks for the video - this looks like the one for me. Here's hoping!

that would be nice a red one
I just got the IVSO as well. My one issue with it, is that the front flap overhangs the edge of the case. It slides back and forth a bit across the top of the tablet. They should have had a couple of mm less fabric in the hinge area.
As a result, the top does not fit snugly.

yeah i can see that as a problem for some people but it could be just cheap manufacturing because it sells for lower than all the other cases for example: viola case
