Hi, as the title suggests I have both. Now I don't really know which one to keep. The pouch feels like it has better protect5ion if it drops and the swen edges may offer some bounce if you know what I mean. However the flip case feels better but feels kind of bare :-\ . It seems to offer no protection at all. Which one of these have you gone for or would go for if you had the option.
Hi,
i preferred to choose the flip for several reasons.
- Makes me feel the Gnote is a real note book.
- Just easier to use because you do not need to pull it out of the pouch to see the time of the day or check mail. Just more handy.
- If i need protection i'll buy or make a pouch while keeping the flip cover.
Anyway, it's more a personal choice, choose what's more handy for you.
I have the flip cover, and stick it in a small pouch for my bag (or map pocket of my jacket if I'm out and about) .
the pouch I have opens length ways so the note slides out really easily.
is flip cover really convenient?
Hi,
I wonder if flip cover is really convenient..........
Can u all type or take a snap or capture video comfortably?
I have both too, and only use the pouch for when i'm only going out briefly, and can't be bothered ripping the back panel from the Note and installing the flip case. (Can't leave the case on or it won't fit in it's dock)
I can see it being useful as extra protection too though, if I ever need to put it in a bag, while cycling for example.
I have kept the flip case now. I will begetting the carbon fiber skin as well (I had it on my HD2 as well) and will apply it to the flip case. I find it easier to hold now, i mostly hold it with one hand like in reading a book. As the post above says, I will keep the pouch for when I put it in a bag or need that extra protection. The flip case fits inside the pouch.
thanks for all
but can any one make some photos please??
& from where you bought it??
with big thanks for all of u again
Following the saying that one can not be too careful, is it possible to have the flipcover on and put the Note with the flipcover in the original pouch. :cyclops:
These kind of threads amuse me.
Just use the damn pouches or covers you have and decide for yourself what you like most.

i have found this case at ebay for galaxy note and would like to hear your oppinion about it? maybe anyone has it and can leave some feedback
ebay link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Cas...ccessories&hash=item3371580d09#ht_5270wt_1270
I have the brown one and it looks elegant but mine doesn't fit well. I mean, I can hear some squeaking when I press on both sides and honestly it bothers me sometimes. I don't know if it's just mine though. The texture feels great and it protects the four corners of the phone, which in my opinion are the areas most likely to hit the ground first if you drop them. It's not stitched and I feel that overtime the sides might separate. I have not tried the free screen protector because I'm not into screen protectors at all. I just really like feeling the glass when I swipe, lol.
I've got a black one, really nice quality
was half the price of the samsung cover (well in New Zealand anyway...)
and much nicer, covers the back perfectly and protects from drops all around and looks really stylish. No magnets or clips to haggle with for flipping the cover.
Its true its not stitched around the corners which gives in a potential to separate, but it seems like a very thick kind of rubber type sealant edging, not cheap superglue type stuff, so very flexible and shouldnt seperate unless you bend it in ways it shouldnt go.
I've had mine for a couple of months and stick it in my pocket everyday, flip the cover over fully to the otherside all the time for holding/calling, got a nice felt material inside on the screen side of the cover, plastic holder for the phone but holds the phone very well but you can still get the phone out easily if needed.
The cover sits perfectly flat on the phone (standard back cover on my phone probably wont fit one of those non-oem aluminium covers which are slightly thincker I believe)
Arrived in a couple of weeks from an ebay seller in Hong Kong I think..
I recommend it! and hey, its only a few bucks so no big loss if its not your exact preference
thank you guys for very well-explained feedback samsung original flip cover cost same price as this cover, so i prefer buying this verus cover instead samsung flip
Dude, I too have this.. I'd say I am happy with it.. but then, have you had a look at Zenus GALAXY NOTE MASSTIGE BLOCK FOLIO ?? This one has a stand too.. and almost for same price..
My Verus has the "squeaking sound when I press on both sides"

If you mean if the front cover can easily flip to the back of the note I'd say yes and you could actually squeeze it flat not like the free flip cover that it leaves an extra front cover out the side so you can't really hold it flat comfortably. Also, the logo in the flip cover leaves a mark on the screen, but not really a biggy. It's either dirt or moisture because of the concavity, I'm not really sure. You can wipe it off easily though. I have mine for just a couple of weeks so maybe that'll disappear over time. And I agree, it's a good case for the price and you won't regret getting it.
I've attached some pictures for reference.
And a few more.

I always think that diary-like flip case has a major issue: cannot use thumb to operate the screen. You still can do that but need to fold back the cover, but do this too often will eventually make the edge worn out..
SO I think flip down is the best option, but major companies like Zenus don't make flip-down cases..all I can found (which looks the best ) is this Rock Big City ..
Anyone is using it now? Or any comments on flip -down cases ?
No one .........??
Im with you on this.
I don't like the flip wallet size one as it's kind of awkward on my end having a call or getting one by flipping the wallet one all the way at the back.
I'm more comfortable getting the flip down one. No hassle and quick access on the phone (just by flipping down to open and flipping up to close after.)
Can anyone upload some pics of it on please.
Does it fit perfect?
How's quality, does it scuff easily?
Does it fold back on itself so you can use the phone like this?
Does it stay shut ok, is there anything to keep it closed? Im a bit worried it might end up getting folded the wrong way so doesn't stay closed properly? Would be great to have an iPad like smart cover...
I'm about to order a white S3, but am going to get the blue flip case as I like the contrast between the two, anyone have this combo?
I have the official white flip case and it looks really good. You remove the original back off the galaxy siii and clip in the flip case instead. A perfect fit too. Very professional looks good to me. The top flip part does fold behind back of phone easily! seems designed to fold that way too!
When flip cover is closed over screen it doesnt fasten in place but it does stay in place well. Only bought phone and flip case yesterday..

I ordered a flip case with my vzw preorder, but I'm going to get the wireless charger when it releases and that requires a unique back cover that I suppose will then make the flip cover useless to me....
There's a review here:

Also be aware that, according to reviews on Amazon.de, you cannot see the LED through the flip cover.

NO. WAY!!!
/sarcasm
I got mines for free from P4U they gave me a 32gb card and an original case i was shocked i thought it would be a cheap case lol..
It fits perfect the interior for the front is a soft cloth like the ones you get when you buy a screen protector..
The outside is hard plastic feels awesome to the touch.. It does cover the LED so you will miss your notifications if you do happen to miss it. But at in the dark you can see it..
Oh and the back bit adds a bit of weight to it so your phone feels alot more heavier not too heavy though makes it feel perfect.. Back plate isn't flexible either it's solid..
I've not had any scuffs at all in the last 4 days i have been using it so no it doesn't get ruined easily I guess..
Other then that it's a brilliant case..
Has anyone purchased the blue version of the flip case? How does the shade of "chrome blue" compare to the "pebble blue" of the original back?

My idea is to get the white S3 and buy the blue flip cover, I think they look good together
The problem with the official flip case is that it actual replacing the original back cover and it is made from the same material just like the original back cover.
The display is protected but the back side...well...unprotected...you can still scratch the back.
After several weeks or months the back cover will still be damaged and it will look ugly with all that scratches...and then what? buy another flip cover?
Has anyone tried to combined the official flip case with another case or bumper or whatsoever to protect the back cover?
With this for example:

I would like to see a drop test with the flip cover vs no flip cover and see if it actually protects the screen, otherwise it doesn't worth anything.

Beside the fact that it does not protect the back cover.
I have also some doubts regarding this issue.
The thing is, there is lock or snap on mechanism on the flip case.
Meaning, the flip can be opened very easily...I dunno if this is still reliable if it falls like...not opening during fall and leave the screen unprotected.
Note:
Providing some degree of protection during fall, it is impossible to protect it to 100%.
Hantec just emailed me they have stock of the white flip in the UK, £22.79

No offense guys, but this is simply one of the worst ideas I have ever seen for a phone accessory. Why in the hell would anyone want to add more steps to accessing their phones? I can understand it with a tablet, where you're never in huge hurry to start working on something; but on a phone?!?! Flip-phones are extinct for a reason guys.

This. I have a flip-cover for my OG Galaxy Tab, but I've never been able to understand why you'd want one on a phone either.
Flip covers provide very little protection against drops; make it more inconvenient to instantly access your phone, and have an annoying floppy flap on the back when open during calls.
The only pros I can see is that it looks "adult", and that some flip covers fold to act as a landscape stand.

So you are also against leather pouches/sleeves?
It provides screen protection for when the phone is in a pocket.
No, the flip cover doesn't protect the back - it's not meant to since it is a replacement back. I.e. the mere fact that you can easily replace the back with a new one means that rather than put an additional cover on there you could just treat the back as a cover and replace it if it gets scratched.

Exactly.
I don't like cases in general. The back cover is a replacement as you say, the front flap is to protect the screen in pocket. This is exactly what I want. I don't want a bumper, back case that adds bulk to the phone. It's slim and light for a reason.
My other option is a pouch, so I can again protect in pocket, but use the phone naked

I have another solution (works for me): Put your keys and your change in your *other* pocket, then you don't need any pocket screen protection. As an added bonus, the screen emerges from your pocket with all the fingerprints mostly wiped off.
I'm Looking for a case that protects my galaxy note 2 titanium grey and doesn't spoil the look of the back cover (brushed grey).
anyone ?
I have the samsung official flip cover. Very good at protecting the screen and still has the brushed metal effect on the back. Im loving it and as its an official samsung product you should be able to buy it in india or on ebay. Quality of its brilliant read some reviews on it.
If you are in a Metro , i suggest to visit any Samsung smart cafe you can get the official TPU or flip cover there , also you can search for AMZER hybrid case on Ebay.in or Rock naked shell or Rock Flip cover this shall cover you from daily usage and occasional drops .
P.S. Hit tanks button if helped
I have got the official flip cover from samsung. It's great and doesn't change the look of the phone. It also gives the same nfc functionality. I do have nfc tiles so it's a must have for me..

The only thing with this cover is that it leave chrome rim open for dents. You back will be replaced with the back with the cover and it will save the screen, but it leaves the side chrome ring which can be damaged in case of a fall....but a miner risk for me as I keep my handset with care and a fare tradeoff to get the NFC functionality...
