No 'real' use' feedback but i notice its flush with the phone so it wont offer that little bit of screen protection you sometimes get. Just a thought.
I have 2. Its not flush.. it sticks up a *slight* bit and my screen doesn't touch when I place it face down on my desk. This case IMHO is the best that's out there. No its not bullet and water proof but its sexy and slim, perfectly fitting and a very high end feel. I have the white and black and both are great.

I bought it, it's shamelessly gorgeous. Everything else quoted by daddymatt. For the price, ya can't go wrong with it. I've already saved a white one in my wishlist for the next purchase.

I bought it when i first ordered my note and have had it on since (as well as bought one for the gal friend). It's freaking awesome, would definitely recommend it to anyone.
Own one as well and very very satisfied with my purchase.
Owned an SGP ultra thin prior and I prefer the Elago over it, due to its better fittment and less flashy look.
so I managed to drop my phone on the sidewalk with this case on. As luck would have it, it fell upright, bottom down first and made contact right at the part where the case ends and the phone begins. Even though the case took a majority of the hit, there is a dent on the phone's frame itself. Not the result I was hoping for.
On the flip side, I have also dropped it face down and there wasn't a scratch on the screen.
Bottom line, if you're looking for all around protection, it may not be your best choice. Maybe getting one of the aluminum bumpers could be the way to go.

Good morning, captain Obvious.
Did you really thought that this case will protect the phone when dropped?
The elago slimfit case is a super all around case.. I have had the black one for about a week...
Interested if anyone has managed to put their Note/case into any of the docks available?.. i am particularly interested in either the Samsung vertical dock with audio connector or the triangular potrait/landscape dock..
cheers

Are you talking about with the case on? If that's what you mean, then it kind of fits in the vertical dock. It doesn't go down all the way obviously but it recognizes it as being connected, charging, and so on. Only thing I've noticed is that on AOKP it thinks the vertical dock is a horizontal one and wouldn't change for me.

I'm using the samsung one, here's a picture with the case and without the case. You can kind of see how it raises it just a little bit. Not much at all really. As far as removing the case, I start from the top left corner then pop it off of the bottom right. I don't like applying a lot of pressure on the power button.
anyone have the white one? is it grippy or is it slippery? cause the black one is rubber type plastic?

I've seen a couple threads where people ask whether the Ultra or Neo Hybrids are better for the Nexus.
Well I just got the Ultra Hybrid one and I must say that I love it!!!
I explained it all in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SHjQdA1ueaY
But I just can't say enough how great it feels in the hand and how high quality it really is for a case. I usually never want to spend more than 10 bucks on a case, but if you guys are looking for a high quality case and don't mind spending about 25 bucks with shipping and all that, then I highly recommend this one!
Hope this has helped!
Thanks for making me spend £14!!!
EDIT: Could you also post the pack of screen protectors you use here? Also interested in trying some "good cheap" ones!
yeah i got my soul black one last week, i really like it to, apart from the power button especially it does tend to press with the slightest touch.

It kinda does, it just won't be a perfect fit. On the side of the phone, it'll be slightly higher than the brim of the case. That's all.
How sensitive are the buttons? Can you press them accidentally just by casually holding the case?
Does the case edge totally cover the bezel edge? Reason I ask is I'm getting a white nexus, and I want to know if I'll see a little white peeking through or not.

No not really, you'd have to squeeze a little. It's easier to press the buttons with this case, but you still have to put a little effort to do so. I got used to it though after a day or two so it doesn't bug me as much as it did on the first day.

It would, the bottom and top of the phone would be under the lip of the case, but the sides wouldn't. It would be a little bit higher. But the screen wouldn't hit the surface if you were to lay it flat since the Nexus is curved.

No, but I've seen it on with the GSM 2000maH extended battery and it fits, but the sides are above the rim a little bit. So I'm just assuming it would sorta fit the CDMA one. But I would really only get this for the GSM if you want a perfect fit.

Hey mack, this case should be here in the next week or two as it's coming from abroad.
Just wanted to ask how tight the lip/rim is against the screen? I currently use the Diztronic TPU (Rev2) case and the lip is very tight which causes my XO skin to peel in the bottom corner slightly.

The thing about this one is that it doesn't "hug" the rim of the phone. It's raised above it so that if you lay the phone flat it protects it. This is good because like you said, it won't peel or bother your screen protector or whatever you may have on it. So it'll be perfect for you! Let me know how you like it once you get it.

Is the Galaxy S2 HD LTE even a phone in the US? It's not right, just international?
I have an extra SGP Ultra Hybrid case for that phone, don't need it and wanna give it away. But does anyone even have that phone...?
I have tried and own a few slim cases but I just don't like the bulk they add even if it's just a little so I wanted to carry my phone naked. However, the plastic is a little too slippery and scratches way too easily so I decided I needed a skin. Having used GelaSkin for a while on my laptops I tried their GS3 skin and it's quite amazing. I picked a design that was based on a white background so it really looks (at a distance at least) like it's painted on to the phone
I also got the latest Ghost Armor screen cover installed at the mall on the front. So in the end it's a good combo, the skin is light but adds some protection to the phone and style - also makes it easier to hold. The screen cover takes care of the screen. In the end, I'm very happy. I'd recommend both the GelaSkins and GhostArmor whole heartedly.
Pics below.
BTW: The gelaskins pack comes with pieces for the front top and bottom of the phone including cutout for home button but I like keeping the front plain white so I didn't install them.

It's a thick sticker so it's not going to do a great job with drop protection. The bottom, top and front of the phone are exposed. I wouldn't buy this if you think you might drop the phone...

Do you put your phone in your pocket? I'm curious if the skin will eventually peel.
During a hard case that fits the couple did not see the case.
It is easy to use and design is too good.
Design, functionality, color, price all good.
In particular, the color of polished too good.
I bought two mint color is matte bumpers.
Also ordered the red.
I'll upload the picture again being red.

there are a couple of videos where it shows someone brushing the lock point hook thing with his thumb, and then it doesn't come undone until he wants it to. i think it's like 3 or 4 in the OP.

------------------------------------------
The case is a plastic (polycarbonate) bumper with a plastic backplate that sits under it. Under the backplate is an indented card holder which fits one card. The bumper clips around the frame.
Pros:
- Concealed card holder is a great feature
- All edges of the phone are covered as well as the backplate
- Raised edges around the entire screen holds it off flat surfaces when face down
- Buttons all fully accessible - not restricted in any way
- Perfect fit, easy installation, clip is very firm
- Very thin
Cons:
- Black plastic backplate is very susceptible to smudges/fingerprints. Minor issue really.

Well I just noticed my case was sitting on my porch. Da! :silly:
After opening it up I am pleasantly pleased.
The case is very slim. Picture 2 iPad smart covers with the tablet sandwiched in between.
The material is nice. Can't really explain what it is accept if you mated the iPad smart cover with some faux leather.
It feels great in my hand and looks good. I really like the slim design.
It is held in nicely with the four corner hooks.. Yes the pen is covered up with oneof the hooks, but the hook easily comes off and you have easy access to the pen.
The other 3 hooks hold the tablet tightly but the pen corner hook is not as tight allowing the access.
Both the typing angle and the up right angle are stable and I don't feel like it will topple over as I pushed on it.
Ports , buttons are all accessible and you can charge while the case is on and closed.
The case has the elastic band on its backside which you pull over the front to hold it closed.
I got the gray color which compliments the tablet nicely. Very professional looking.
I ordered it on the 29th-took 10 days.
Do I recommend it. Yes.
Would I buy it again? Yes.
I will update with pictures later.

Yeah, I bought one of these also in grey, but it hasn't arrived. Should come this week.
I like the thinness of the case.
However, I also got a Noreve case, as I think the top of the tablet is better protected.
That was my only critizism of the ROCK. There didn't seem a lot of protection on the side edges and the top of the case for the device.
What's your thoughts on this?
See the Noreve website: http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_10.1_Tradition_leather_case.html

It is held in nicely with the four corner hooks.. Yes the pen is covered up with oneof the hooks, but the hook easily comes off and you have easy access to the pen.
The other 3 hooks hold the tablet tightly but the pen corner hook is not as tight allowing the access.
Both the typing angle and the up right angle are stable and I don't feel like it will topple over as I pushed on it.
Ports , buttons are all accessible and you can charge while the case is on and closed.
The case has the elastic band on its backside which you pull over the front to hold it closed.
I got the gray color which compliments the tablet nicely. Very professional looking.
I ordered it on the 29th-took 10 days.
Do I recommend it. Yes.
Would I buy it again? Yes.
I will update with pictures later.

Thanks for sharing, I'm looking forward for the pictures, I would really like to see how it looks, I know they have a lot of pictures in the posting but I would prefer to check one from customer...

Yeah, I bought one of these also in grey, but it hasn't arrived. Should come this week.
I like the thinness of the case.
However, I also got a Noreve case, as I think the top of the tablet is better protected.
That was my only critizism of the ROCK. There didn't seem a lot of protection on the side edges and the top of the case for the device.
What's your thoughts on this?
See the Noreve website: http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_10.1_Tradition_leather_case.html

I like the noreve case. But more than double the cost than the rock. Yikes.
It has enough protection for me to feel comfortable throwing it in my bag or brief case. I was looking for something slim at a good price that did not cover the bezzle. I figure there will be alot of cases coming out soon.
Yeah, I don't like to have my bezel covered either.
Looks pretty sweet I'm waiting for mine to get here thanks for the pics :thumbup:

i just got mine too brown color
Mine just arrived. Nice quality and feel. Fits well. Sturdier than I thought it would be in upright orientation. A little heavy.
Just got mine yesterday! I love this cover, very sturdy in any orientation. Quality of material is great the only thing is that it smells funny lol.

Just ordered one last night from casesinthebox yeah it was a couple bucks more but I hope it ships sooner than an eBay purchase. Anyone have any experience with them?

The only reason I try to avoid rubber band cases are because once they snap, your case is useless.
Would the band break? (is it secure?)
I have had this case for a week now and my band still seems secure. I use this case alot in everyday use
without the band so even if the band snapped which i doubt it will- it would still work.
Is it just the pictures or does the dark grey look like a very light grey?

I would say some where in between but more leaning towards the darker. Pix make it look lighter.
I've got the grey one from the local store.It's not a light grey.It's more like a graphite color.
The green one is a light green, kinda like ocean green.
The brown one is also a light brown.
The case is well-maded ,beautiful and thin but I think I will have to sell it because it's difficult to take the pen out.

All I had to do was gently flex the tab outward and it will fix this, than put the tablet back in and the tab will now be easier to open and the tablet is still held securely.

I would say the grey case is 50% black. Print out a 50% tint to get the idea (assuming your printer is correctly calibrated )

Hello, I love this case, but I have a Nexus 10, which is actually similar to the Note.
Someone would have the chance to try the case in a Nexus 10?
Greetings.
Hey my favorite case from cruzerlite is available for the Optimus G! I have one in the smoke color on the way. If you have never used one of their cases before then you are missing out. They are made of TPU with a cool design and the cutouts are perfectly cut. I've owned a bunch of their cases for my GNex, S3, One S, and Nexus 7. Now im adding the Optimus G to my collection.
Check them out here http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/optimus-g/cruzerlite-androidified-a2-case-for-lg-optimus-g-sprint
I will post a review of the case as soon as I get it. Also don't mind the At&t logo on the pictures. This is indeed for the Sprint version!
Ya i saw that earlier today. I really want the CM or xda case!

I'd love to see real life pictures! Curious about which buttons have cutouts (the diztronic I have covers the volume, but not power) and how it looks on the front of the phone. Might be trading it for one of these - I really want a blue or green case and I love the Android design on the back

So I ended up getting the flu so I didn't get to take the time to take better pictures or write up a good review. For now here are some pictures I took with my s3 and just give a brief review.
The case is thin but feels nice. It adds good grip to the phone without adding bulk. Everything fits just right. No ports or holes are off line. One thing I noticed is on the back there is a sort of wet effect between the phone and the case because the glossy back is sticking to the case. I tried to show that with a few pictures. Not an issue for me but just something to keep in mind. You can see the crystal reflection back faintly through this smoke case.
The sides have a nice ribbing for grip. There are openings for the volume and power buttons which are recessed to prevent accidentally triggering them. I was able to fit the Samsung and LG Usb cables through the microusb port cutout. The headphone cutout is big too so I was able to fit my headphone cable and aux cable easily.
The case is thick enough to reach the thickness of the camera so the phone feels all even which is great. You can put the phone down on its back without worry. On the front you might be able to see that the lip comes around enough to keep the screen from touching anything if it's set down face first. This comes at a price though, it lifts screen protectors off.
Overall the case feels great and looks great, I have their cases for all of my devices. It's very minimal in size so font expect amazing protection but for some who isn't looking for bulk this is perfect. It won't ever stick in your pocket or collect lint. It adds some grip and a cool logo on the back.
I'm still very limited writing this from bed so if anyone has questions or wants more info/pics let me know. I'll add pics of the clear one later.
