I don't want a case, the phone seems relatively tough by design, gorilla glass and all. I'm concerned about the camera though. Anyone have any ideas for protection or whether it actually needs it?

Interesting - didnt know those sort of things existed.
Not sure what to do about mine - I'll monitor this thread with interest
It was my understanding that the lens cover is made of the same/similar glass that's used for the front of the phone.
The HTC Desire etc. had a plastic lens cover that was on the back cover rather than on the actual phone itself which is why something like that needed to exist.

Thanks hampa_D
I've got a scratch on the front screen of my phone already! Didn't get any in my hero this bad after 20 months. No idea how it happened.
Thinking it might be a one off. Has anyone else got any scratches?
if you guys haven't seen my thread already.

(temporarily for now) I have a small square cut out from the left outs of INVISISHIELD screen protector and have placed it over the "8.0 MEGA" bit.
So when I place it on the table the invisishield will take the weight & scratches

Thanks for linking to my site eddablin and Hampa_D!
simply buy a cheap phone protector, cut it and put in to the lens. I do that on my hd2 for years and its great.
This sounds like a good idea. Does it affect picture quality through the invisishield though?

No I just did two really thin strips on the top and bottom of the lens so that it doesn't affect camera whatsoever. And on the bottom just above the speakers. Ill take a pic and post it when I have time. definitely working though. I'm at peace without needing a case.

I know this looks messy and tbh I think could've done it better but was in a hurry and didn't want to take it outside without some sort of protection.
Not planning to get a case for this.

Looks good. I'm sure I had some of this stuff lying around but predictably, I can't find it. Will definitely buy some!
I find it hard to believe that some case maker doesnt jump on this gap in the market and design a case with a simple sliding or magnetic cover over the lens... it seems simple, in my head!
Im going to try and make my own cover on a silicon case, just ordered some really thin magnetic strip and going to try to devise a simple material flap to cover the lens and fix with the magnet.. sue, it will prob look awful, but its a case of function over design for me!

I'm so tempted on jumping on these for our phones, but I'm a little concerned with the size of the ring inside if it'll clear our squared glass lens cover.
http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/cell-phone-lenses/
From what I see I guess the ring on one side has a double sided tape? And the other side is magnetic.
Is there anyone out there that can measure in mm's and see if it'll clear our squared glass lens protector cover?
The diameters of the ring are 13.06mm (outer) and 9.38mm (inner)

i think our camera is way off to the edge... where the magnetic ring might not be able to fit properly....
but i could be wrong... since i'm just judging by the pics alone....not too sure.... has anyone tried this?
someone please test this out
i want that!!
If anything we benefit from the semi-flatter corner than the iPhone 3G. Look at these pics on this auction.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Fish-Eye-Lens-H...Hero-HD-mini-/280518921489?pt=PDA_Accessories
i might just have to get the wide angle/macro one!
Doing a quick measurement, I'm getting 12.5mm diagnal measurement on the lens opening on teh case. It is also 10.5mm x 10.5mm.
So, this will fit on just fine, but you won't be able to remove the battery cover (due to the ring sticking to the corners of the lens housing).
Damn that stinks, but I'm sure a little sandpaper can remove the adhesive around those corners so
i'm still willing to try it out.

Yep, some minor adjustments to the adhesive on the ring and it would work. Just get an Xacto knife and cut the corners.
I'd get a piece of thick paper...make an identical lens cover with it...then mock it up to the lens ring..and I'll then know where to cut.

Xacto knife, sandpaper will be too messy of a job and you'll have the possibility of messing it up.
Now I'm wondering if its going to be an issue to keep the T-Mobile black rubber phone case on with the ring installed.
There is a deal extreme 15mm lens which has really good corner quality. There is even a comparison video on youtube for it. It is a couple of bucks cheaper than the one you linked to.

Here you go. Comparison videos in the customer video section: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.39814
Just ordered the fisheye from the link above. The 15mm ring will surpass the cam lens. What I'll probably do is use the extra back cover purple case and paste on the ring. So when I dont want to use it I can leave it home and use my standard blue battery case with my Tmobile rubber case. I'll post updates soon!
Would this work for a MyTouch 4G? If you've looked at it, you;ll see around the lens its kind of beveled, and the battery door would probably get stuck with the magnet they want you to put on it... also another thing to think about, magnets do damage hard drives, would it damage sd cards?

Hi XDAAAAA ! :highfive:
I have prepared for you freshly baked review about SGP illuzion case which went on sale a few days ago.
I want to start with the fact that we have a large selection of accessories from different companies. And sometimes it is very hard to make a choice "what is best and worst".
"ZENUS" one of the competitors which is completely disappointed me.
- magnet built-in !!?! (u kidding me for $57,99?)
-it doesn't look delicate enough. (While the some owner deny this )
-I totally don't like the build quality.
Why should I pay more "$$$" for accessory that I'm ashamed to put on the table.
Where is style? Im sorry guys but all our life we make conclusions by comparing one to another, and there is nothing wrong about it. "-I'll pay more, ...do better"
My choice has stopped on SGP illuzion

}
Let me start with BUILD QUALITY.
-Quality of the leather is good. Soft to the touch.
-Stitching of the case is finely done
-Ultra thin (fits easily in my pocket, despite the fact that almost all my jeans, pants is skinny)
Design and style
In our time hard to impress someone. Everyone has their own style.
SGP illuzion Embodies classic style with a combination of modern. It looks very expensive whatever I am !!!
I am pleased to put my phone in a visible place
The style is combined with the usability. And this is another thing which is necessary for me !
The advantage of the superiority
Of course it will not replace for us our wallets, but sometimes I want to take something that, which is only necessity for me. Example: my "phone and some cards" (Yea...Today without this, we will not go far away :laugh
SGP illuzion case only has 3 slots ( ...... I remember the words of my grandma: "Little Bit of Everything" )
Chance of losing the cards is practically equal to 0.
Little pockets are made to keep them tightly ! (Important !)
and when you close the cover, they are absolutely safe.
-The phone keeps pretty tight inside also.
It is also nice to see that the
holes for the speakers, camera, LED flash made and located with the medical accuracy.
Case does not use a magnet. I have seen too many guys with the problem of the screen because of the magnet. **** that.
I buy the product for the protection and convenience, not for failure.
How about it charging and music jack ?
Even with connected accessories SGP illuzion case looking hot
Conclusion
-$32.99 - definitely worth it !
(Zenus Case -$57,99 not worth it)
I definitely recommend this case If you are looking for something more than just protection.
Other colors are also available on the official site.
Beware of fake products

UPDATE: PICTURE ADDED!
There are a total of 6 magnets on the case (as you can see in pic 1 and 2). most of you might have concerns of how the magnet will affect the tablet. i can tell you from my experience that IT DOES NOT AFFECT MY S PEN capabilities. They use the 6 magnets so that when folding the cover, it will stay together. And because of the magnet when its folded its VERY strong, not flimsy.
S Pen is also accessible shown in pic 7
Charger is accessible shown in pic 8.
Top isnt cover well, the volume and power button visible as you can see in pic 9
Overall the case is very thin, about 1.3 cm?? But it does feel like it added some weight onto the tablet.
ALSO: this case comes with a screen protector (the one that i have on, i did screw up a few times)
Lemme know if you have any questions

ya, when i get it imma post up some pics. but the main reason why i got it was for the magnetic clip, which can be tucked/fold in when its trifolded (<=not sure if its a word)
But having any magnets next to an electronic device spells disaster.

Well they can't hurt the memory unlike if you have a hard drive in there, but my concern is that I bought a poetic case which has two magnets on each corner of the case near the speakers. At least they aren't anywhere close to the pen.
yea thats what i was somewhat worry about. there are a total of 4 magnets (as seen from vid) and when closed all 4 are pretty much around the camera area, which is also where the mobo is located as well i think...

dont worry, we have tried it , no interference with the magnets
I have one. I think it's great, especially at that price.There's a little give in it when typing with it propped up in landscape (at a small angle, with the tablet "upside down") but it's very stable otherwise. Only other problem is that it doesn't close if anything's plugged in to the headphone jack.
My first thought was why did they not cover fully the back of the note, it looks like they have little wings sticking out the back on the sides. If they made a cover with the back completely covered with the same material I would definitely buy one.

Yeah it looks like they didnt cover the part that secured the tablet in place.
This is the case I have:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0088I9AX4/ref=oh_details_o03_s01_i00
and I enjoy it. It covers the tablet nicely, easy access to the pen, in landscape on a table, the top is elevated about half and inch or so to give a nice little angle on the device. Also it can easily be set to sit up with 3 different angles in the landscape mode. Slim and sturdy construction as well with decent padding.

How do you feel about the case after having it for a few days? And how is the fit? Does the Note snap in tightly? I have a $7 poetic trifold, but don't like that the bezel is covered. I really like the looks of this case, but would like to hear a bit more about it.

I actually like it ALOT. when its in trifold mode, especially laying down for typing its very sturdy, it DOESNT wiggle or move at all.
and YES its a good fit for the tablet, as long as you dun hold it by the cover and wiggle it vigorously. As you know there are only 3 corners supporting the tablet, since we need the opening for s pen, but from my experience if you simply push the s pen corner (the corner that isnt cover) it can easily pop up.
lemme know if you have any other questions.
ALSO the magnets DOES NOT affect the screen for me.

Looks very nice, got myself one. Almost made me want to have the black One lol
wow. 4 dollars? nothing to lose. ill post about it when i receive it.
BTW transit time from china to U.S. was an impressive 7 business days. It actually looks better in person then the picture I posted.
woah nice find! was looking for a change of case and looks like with this case, the power button is gonna be a lot easier to press than my current Belkin Sheer Grip Matte due to the fact that the plastic at the back of the case is slightly lowered where the power button is. Just ordered one for myself and one for a mate. Thanks for posting.
Thats the ONE for the ONE. I also have it and love it. Very sleek, keeps the phone looking the way it was supposed to.

Barely big enough to cover the glass screen protector. I think if it is any less then it would be without one. This doesn't add any bulge and maintains the sleek look of the phone

Correct, trim is good enough for its purpose, protection when laying flat on face. A thick trim will not protect the screen from any drop to a rock or any edge, and create a false sense of protection.
The case may feel a little loose when you first get it. I recommend heat it up with blow dryer then quickly dump it in cold water to tighten it a bit.
Does it affect the camera flash? The cutout looks close to the flash. I had a Kays case that had a similar opening and the flash reflected glare into the photos.
I just bought a similar case from Amazon which I prefer because it's transparent. However, your pics gave me an idea on how to mod the case because I don't like how there is not a cutout for the volume rocker. I started to make this mod today actually, but one of your pics shows me that I should cut further towards the back of the case which will give my fingers proper room to hit the volume rocker instead of having to use my finger nails :good:

I had a grey transparent case, it was perfect except there were no cut outs. Cutting it wasn't clean so I trashed it.

Does it affect the camera flash? The cutout looks close to the flash. I had a Kays case that had a similar opening and the flash reflected glare into the photos.

No issues with flash

are other colors available as well ? I'm quite interested in this case
Ordered one for my black One... Is this an easy on/easy off case or is it difficult to remove? I only ask because I ruined my Poetic case trying to take it off because it was so tough to remove.
Seller doesnot ship to India nor UK . Can someone buy it and post it to me ? I will PayPal the money

This looks similar but cheaper
does any one try this?
I am considering this because the one from ebay won't ship to my country
Is this the same case, a few different colors.
EDIT : sorry excludes Germany

Found this on Amazon. Couldn't help but order it. Less than $15 shipped and real wood! Received it today. I'm actually quite impressed with it. Forgot to mention, shipping said 14-31 business days but I received it in one week.
Pros:
-Real Wood
-Looks great
-Great fit
-Low Price
-Crafted well
Cons:
-A bit thick. Makes the phone a little bit big (with an already big phone) in the hand.
-Power port cutout is a little small. One of my old cables wouldn't fit.
-Due to thickness, it can be a little tough to reach the power and volume buttons.
-No 'snap' to hold the case together. It just slides, I don't know if it would wear fast or not. There is, however, a metal plan with nobbies on it that help hold it in place.
As promised, here are pictures. The first 2 are with and without flash to get a good look at the wood tone. I think it looks great.

Looks good, very interested please do post pictures to soon
Nice looking case, except how the wood looks like it's clumsily glued together in the middle. Does it look like that in person?

That isn't where it glues together, that is where you snap the case together. Pictures should be up shortly.
Looks like a nice case although the line is very visible. I guess thats better than having a hard snap on case where u have to force the phone to be removed.

Agreed the line is very visible but you have to keep in mine that this is wood, not plastic. Wood can't be molded like plastic, it's crafted.
I'm very interested, does the cover have lips in case you put your telephone face down on the table?
And if you have a 0.3mm tempered glass screen protector?

Using it with a .32mm thick tempered glass screen protector. Lip is big enough to clear my screen protector.

Thank you very much; I've ordered mine too.
I prefer it over the 'original' back cover bamboo case because the original one shows a bit of brown plastic and also I think (the original one) is meant to be used without any cover case to show the beautyness of the bamboo cover.
As this is a true COVER, I think it will protect our phones a bit, and as you confirmed it allows the use of a glass screen protector, I think it's perfect.
I'm a bit concerned because of the mechanism to separate the two pieces of the cover, but I think I won't doubt to glue them together if necessary (as the cover is cheap and the battery is not removable...)
Thank you for sharing this piece of natural art...
How does the cover hold in place still a bit confused. Is there A mechanism or requires actual glue?

I have had bad experience with slide on cases in the past... Next thing you know you have a nicely straight scratch on your phone. You have to be extra careful putting it on and taking it off. Good looking case tho.
There's a few different places to get it from in UK. Good find. Just waiting till a few people get it and give there opinions

I am in the same boat. Ships from Hong Kong, but never to Hong Kong. This is pretty darn ridiculous. There must be someway that isn't crazy hard or expensive to get this case into my hands in HK...
