I don't know if it's good or not, but I've found something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=UG&feature=related&hl=en-GB&v=LGBDcRWykc0 and this http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/samsung-galaxy-n7000-69177p.html
At least those give a bit of protection to the back of the phone and corners.
UPDATE: Someone was asking on forum for these http://www.amazon.com/Zenus-Masstig...JX4O/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337029406&sr=8-1
and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vror_ETzHBM
And here are many to chose from http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_2?url=search-alias=mobile&field-keywords=n7000+flip
This looks like some better quality leather you asked for http://www.amazon.com/SPIGEN-GT-N70..._1_6?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1337029880&sr=1-6
Press thanks if I was helpful
I've heard you get some cheap 200bucks flip covers in Delhi market.

Hi,
thanks for your answers!
Yes, these flip covers look good, but the original one has a must have feature for me: It replaces the battery cover so it doesn't make the phone thicker and keeps its great look and feel.
I suppose there's no battery cover replacement flip cover in good quality anywhere out there?

OK, I don't take responsibility for this as I still don't recommend those type of cases (less material, less protection ) but on the picture it looks like what you are looking for. It says it's aluminum so should be better it terms of durability, but I don't know if it won't reduce your signal strength a bit.

It doesn't look like PU leather, more like some kind of carbon/textile. That seems to be awesome!
Now I just have to think about if I take this one or the one suggested in the kick stand thread. Great!
Cheers,
Aryana
P.S.: I don't like big cases like silicone bumpers or bags or something like this. I just trust in my ability to handle my phone without letting it fall to the ground. That worked with other phones for years, so I take the risk.

Yup, the one from Anymode looks really nice. But you will probably have to wait a few days or maybe weeks until it's available outside Korea (or you can try buy it from their website, I don't speak Korean so I can't help you with that). And it won't be cheap as I suppose it won't be less than $50-$60 without shipping.
UPDATE:
Here you go http://www.exportprive.com/en/galax...stand-folio-case-series-crocodile-black-.html
(I don't if the the seller is trustworthy, it's for you to decide)
But this case actually makes the phone a few millimeters thicker, so you should think again what's your priority. High quality looks or phone slimness.
Oh no, that's too expensive for me. Not bad at all, so my decission was easy!
I just ordered the Flipcover that you suggested for 20$. I hope I will receive it in May and give feedback after I got it!

Yes there is. Check out Amazon uk. Samsung have a lizard leather flip case. Much stronger than original flip. I have had it for approaching a month now and no sign of wear. At it is thicker than original, it takes a little bit more pressing down on the back to secure it. But once it is on, it does the job of protection, looks stylish and professional. I have photos of it in the 'post your case' thread if u r interested
Holy moly, in my opinion that "lizard"-style leather is ugly!
Thanks for your answer, everybody who loves this leather style will love this case too! But that's nothing for my sense of style.
If they produced this flipcase with "normal smooth" leather...
Anyways, I'm waiting for my blue flip case from Hongkong which is already on its way to me. Hopefully that's good quality, than it's perfect for me.

Wow, it just arrived. Unbelievable fast, I thought I would be very lucky if I get it next Friday.
My first thoughts are very positive: It fits perfect and feeld high quality.
The Flip gives a good protection, it's very strong. The battery cover is a bit thicker than the original one, so it protects the camera lense but doesn't make the phone bulky.
Two little disadvantages: It smells quite bad, but I believe in a week the stink is gone. And the back is very smooth, even a bit slippery. The plastic texture of the original had more grip, but it the aluminium looks simply great. So that's ok.
I'm very happy with it!

Congrats on your case!
I am not sure if the seller is trust worthy either, but does anyone know if the
Anymode Case Galaxy Note Stand Folio Case Series from ExportPrive would work on the SGH-I717 or is it just for the International Note?
Edit:
Also Found it on Amzon for $85
Edit 2:
Ater some google-fu on the case and exportprive, I went ahead and ordered it. Apparently the case is made for the Japanese model of the Galaxy Note, so it does have the NFC antenna on the battery cover of the case (I have the SGH-i717) . The only foreseeable downfall I see is that it doesn't snap on properly, that would hurt. But for $63 including shipping, I say it is worth the risk considering I fell in love with the anymode case at&t sells, but thought it was to pricey for a brick&motor store to sell. Now I will get a kick stand plus earpiece cut out! Will update when I receive it.
"Genuine" Samsung flip cover
Hello Friends.
I intend on purchasing a genuine Samsung flip cover (white) for my Galaxy Note (ceramic white).
I had a look on Amazon UK and for illustrative purpose I have posted the link below.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Fli...D4TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338410191&sr=8-1
The product is Samsung Flip Cover for Galaxy Note - Blue by Samsung. Considering it has by Samsung displayed on the link, is it safe to presume it is a genuine Samsung product?
I ask the above because the Samsung UK website does not have any cases/covers listed under the Accessories category.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/mobile-phones/accessories
@Aryana90 do you mind posting some pics of the cover on your phone? Is it a replacement back cover, like the "genuine" cover?
The genuine cover (in YLNdroid's post) is a lovely fit, but probably isn't great for long term use, a lot of people complain that it wears out quickly. But it only adds about 1.5mm to the phone, so that's very attractive.
V
Yes, it is a replacement back cover. I think it adds not more to the phone than the original cover, but seems to be better quality. And looks amazing in blue!
I try to make some pictures this evening and will post it here.

Aryana90, is the said cover you purchased as good as the "genuine" one? Does it have Galaxy Note inscribed on the front and Samsung inscribed on the rear?
If so, where can I get one in white colour? I have a ceramic white Galaxy Note.
I apologise for sounding a bit too paranoid perhaps! With all due respect, I do not want a sub-standard case/cover for my Galaxy Note.

I guess this mostly apply to people who are planning to buy a thin case that doesn't provide anything more than scratch protection. I fall into this category and was planning to wait for Zagg to get a invisible shield product out, but as I was putting the battery in for the first time I realized...
why don't I just replace the plastic cover when it gets too scratched or when I want to sell the phone? I'm sure the genuine covers will start showing up on ebay soon enough.
Forgive me if this is a duh thing and has been generally dismissed... I came from an iPhone...
Thoughts?
There are rubberized back covers now on the internet, and they are, in my opinion alot better than a case because you keep that thin feeling and have a rubbery touch to it..

Find me a link I was looking on ebay and couldn't find one. Thanks
Here's what I found. Not ebay, but anyway.
Look on mobilecityonline dot com for product #27649 "Motorola Rugged Battery Cover"
I'm too new to post a link.
I'd do this, but I like a case that has a 1-2mm lip around the display. That way your screen stands a better chance of not cracking if it falls face-down or front edge down. I wish I could get a slider like the Seidio Innocase II I had for my N1. I'd dropped that a bunch of times and the phone doesn't have any scars for it. I have the Speck case for now, but I'll ditch it once something thinner like the Innocase shows up.
first company to release a soft touch back cover replacement with kickstand gets my money!

Best Skins Ever FTW
On every device I've owned I've always had a best skins ever. The texture and quality is better than any others I have tried. Every skin I've ever had covers every part of the phone and they have all lasted until I replaced the phone. Very durable. I've ordered mine for the Atrix and should have it shortly. I can post pics when I put it on but in the mean time here is a link and a couple examples of a bestskinsever on my Nexus.

I've never really been a big fan of skins.... be it ZAGG Invisible Shield or anything similar. They just feel odd to me. I actually purchased a cheap TPU case for my Atrix, and like it quite a lot.
As for PowerMat which someone mentioned, i sent them an e-mail about a week ago, and recieved the usual expected canned response... they don't have a battery door right now, but the PowerCube would work. Really do hope they make a battery door replacement.... might be worth getting.
Yeah, I would love an Atrix powermat backcover. I was going to buy a standard dock but maybe I'll wait for a bit.

Anyone know why these are being discontinued everywhere?...
Probably because they were never technically released by Motorola. If you read reviews of the ones that some people have gotten a hold of, even the overall feel of the cases seem to differ even depending on what color they picked.
It's not a bad cover....not great either. But it is the only one that will allow it to fit into the vehicle dock without modification. I ordered it from a place in Canada, it shipped from Hong Kong. Took about a month to get to me. The edges are kinda flimsy, especially around the usb/hdmi dock area. And the lip doesn't stay "lipped" around the edge of the display very well. I think I'll just go back to my OtterBox Impact. I spend less time taking it off and putting it back on, than I do with constantly adjusting the ruggedized cover.
I was looking for a good portfolio case for my XOOM. I was looking for something like the iPad cases where they are portfolio style and is made of soft material so my xoom doesn't get scratched up...
any ideas?
I just ordered my xoom so I'm waiting for it to ship before I order a case, but I'm planning on getting this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Quality-Leath...3ZW6/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1310795929&sr=8-6
I saw it mentioned in another thread and it seems like all of the Ayl cases get pretty great reviews. The exterior is leather and the interior is microfiber so it shouldn't scratch. Plus, at only $10 it's much more affordable than some other cases out there.

It's the same basic concept with a fair amount of key differences...
-fasteners have a different design
-inside is line with microfiber to prevent scratches (which is a common complaint for the moto)
-exterior is all leather, including fasteners
-as mentioned, lower price. Even if everything was the exact same, you get it for 1/3 the price.
Based on the reviews, it's the same idea with better execution.
I am one of the reviewers on Amazon. It's a fantastic case and for 10 bucks, come on it's a no brainer. I'd definitely recommend this over all the existing leather cases out there now. And who knows when this discounted price ends, its original price is more like 30 bucks.

It stays in the angles without budging, but I admit that because the surface is microfiber suede it may be slippery if you jab hard at the top of the xoom. There is no problem if you type at the bottom half of the screen. And normal presses and swipes on the screen are ok. Just don't jab hard repeatedly at the top 1/3 of the screen and you should be fine.
Targus cases are great quality, at least my P1000 Galaxy Tab one genuine leather was perfect.
The Xoom one sells for like $45+ shipping etc at Amazon. They are really good I think. Worth the price.
I guess I'm an idiot for waiting... the ayl case is now $5 more than before. Not a whole lot, but still wasted money from waiting. Oh well. I just placed my order and I'll be sure to give a review or contribute to another thread on the case once I receive mine.
I should be getting my xoom tomorrow, so I'll have time without a case to make me appreciate having a case even more.
I got one of these from ebay.

It is not magnetic. But the cover closes very tightly onto the xoom, so there are no worries about the cover flipping out on its own. You have to shut the cover with some force actually, but the suede inner lining will not scratch it.

Hey, thanks for the quick reply! So I guess it's just like a clip that goes over the top of the device? I just wanted to make sure it wasn't velcro, I hate that crap, lol!
Just ordered, but unfortunately it seems like they are out of stock for the moment... Gonna have to wait a few weeks it seems...
I bought the ZooGue case. I really like it. The onlu thing wrong was that it has a funny smell. Took care of that with vinegar and water and now the smell is gone. The stand is adjustable because the bottom was flat and there is velcro to adjust the view.

yes if you don't like supporting Real US Sellers and tanking our economy further. i realize buying american products is impossible but the few dollars more to buy from american sellers is a small price to pay to support our country.

Looks like a decent enough case, protects the back mainly, and looks very thin

STK Samsung Galaxy S2 i9100 TPU Case / Black
Not sure about this one, resembles the Neo Hybrid in a way, just doesn't have sperate layers.
http://www.play.com/Mobiles/Mobile/4-/23551468/-/Product.html
Think im gunna take a gamble on the Italk one. Thin around the back, has holes in all the correct places. Looks like ir protects the phone when its turned over.
For £4.96 you can't go wrong really!
It's hard to tell from the photos whether it really does protect the front of the phone (when you place it face down). I'd be interested in what you find!
Yeah, i know what you mean. To be fair. I nver plce my phone screen way down anyway!
Came this morning, Looks promising.
Will upload pics etc in few hours
First impressions are its very nice and slim!
Cant hardly tell its there!
Pros
Slim
Feels nice
Doesn't look cheap
Gives sight screen potection (I mean slight, 1mm tops)
Cons
Doesn't give much protection to Camera
Buttons on side could irritate some people.
To be fair, i wanted a slim case, which this is. I dont intend to launch my phone around, i always place it down back first.
Ill try and add some pics of the phone in the case soon.
Shots of the phone in the case.
I apologise in advance, The worst digital camera i've ever seen used in my life!
Gives you a rough idea, if your sat here now thinking, should I, Shouldn't I buy one. Go ahead and do it! You won't be dissapointed for £4.95
Also available on eBay for about £3
Feels rather weird having this case on, been use to thickness and the lip over on the Neo Hybrid!
How's the grip with this case?
Yeah, its alright, feels nice in the hand.
Honestly its a really nice case for £4.95, or £3 on ebay.
You wont be dissapointed!

Actually, I really dont know how to describe such case.
Since there many holes on the back and might be help for to cool down GN.
So I just call it air cooling case.
There're also other kind of case with holes on ebay and taobao. But they are
too rough and too ugly. Usually cost around 3RMB,but u won't want to put it
on your GN which might scratch ur GN.
I bought this one around 10USD. And the color is green with little bit metal
feeling.
The only disadvantage is: It won't fit with 2000mah battery. So u can only use
1750mah battery with it.
looks nice. could you post a link?
Link please
here it is.

Very nice looking mesh case and didn't know they made them. If you're worried about heat i would just undervolt the nexus. But this definitely gives it a unique look.

Black one looks great! Might pick one up... Kinda pricey for a generic though.
Seems cheaper from the company: http://www.anymode.com/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=12347476
But I don't read Korean enough/at all to figure out if they ship to Canada or how to checkout.
Anymode cannot be considered generic

Also is it just me or did anyone else notice it does not have an opening for the Pogo pins?
Point taken. Now find it for me somewhere that's cheap

Plenty of cheap ones.
These are called "Mesh snap on" cases.
Here's for the GSM Nexus: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=i9250+mesh&_sacat=0
$1.92
There's no "snap on mesh" cases for the Verizon, they're more fully formed so it's not cheap.
$7-$9 http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=i515+mesh&_sacat=0&_odkw=i9250+mesh&_osacat=0
Those are the cheap feeling ones the OP described. I was asking for a link to a cheaper site for the Anymode version the OP recommended. Thanks though!
99.9% anti-bacterial
Nice!
this is not going to cool your phone, you are adding another layer of plastic to trap heat. do you cool yourself by wearing a sweater?

The "air cooling" is just a term to describe this case. Just a comparison
between other TPU or silicon case.
Of course no case is the coolest!

Right there on the box!
Great case! I ended up getting it from eBay since I can't read Korean/Chinese nor trust signing up with credit card info to foreign websites I don't understand. Nice matte finish on the black one here. Feels solid, snug and good in the hand. The wrap-around to the front leaves just enough of a gap between housing and screen that edge-to-edge screen protectors should work nicely. And the design and materials seem excellent for signal, WiFi and NFC (unlike my last case)! Would definitely buy again.
Very, very pleased... now I just need my Fantom tempered glass screen protector:

Those ones don't really count. The pictures show a full case with the snap on mesh that goes over it. So the mesh on those cases is just for looks.
My issue with these mesh cases is that dust collects in the holes REALLY easily. :\
Hey guys!
I came across a few TPU cases by Rock.. Flip and back-only. Anyone heard of or used them? Couldn't find any reviews for the case.. I'm not sure about the TPU quality and transparency of the back (for the flip one). Check them out, heres the link:
Flip: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/507.html#next
Back only: http://www.rockphone.cn/en/Html/Product/517.html#next
:good:
I bought this one ( search ROCK big city Brand New Leather Folio Case Cover Pouch For HTC One M7
in ebay) in navy, turned out to be a bit too shiny/shimmery for me. If your interested I can sell it to you from UK, unused with retail packaging.

Thanks for your offer, but I'm thinking about the yellow one. Haven't really decided about it yet.

If you do get one, please post a quick review and let others know how the cases actually feel!

Good to know! Two questions for you -
1. Is the TPU flexible? If so, is it like completely flexible or just a little?
2. Is the case too shiny? Like candy colours (think: Nokia Lumia)?

1. its rather hard, looks not like TPU, hard plastic would i say, but still flex enoth to fit it
2. the grey one is not that shiny, matt i would say
I ordered the black one, and it just arrived today. Bit of a shame I don't have a phone to put in it, because it looks great. It is glossy, but not overboard. Maybe similar to the gloss on the original PS3? But don't quote me on that, I only owned the slim.
My One should arrive tomorrow. Once it does, I'll post up some pictures so you guys can check it out.
As far as Rock cases go though, I had one for my One X and I really liked it. I would def recommend you guys check them out. Or also Capdase. I just got a white case from them today as well. Both very nice. One is glossy, one is matte.
Thanks! Looking forward to the pics

Do you order straight from their website ? I had their case for my s3 and loved it but then a whole ton of knockoffs started coming out.
So my phone arrived, and I had it in the Rock case within about 5 minutes. I'm in Korea for the day, so I'm trying it out. So far: really like it. The case fits like a glove. Doesn't snap on really tight like some, but there is absolutely no movement. I actually prefer this to the ones that make you think you are going to break your phone putting on/taking it off. The black on black looks so good! It's super thin, so the phone shape is maintained. It also has a very slight lip around the edges on the front so you can put it down on it's face, if you want.
The negatives: the black is a fingerprint magnet. I guess that's why they bundled a cloth in the package. The other is I am afraid I'm gonna drop my phone and it will break. I attribute the fear to having just got the phone, as well as being pretty hungover . If I were to drop the phone, the case wouldn't do much to protect it. It's more like a scratch guard.
Anyway, so far I really like it. I bet the coloured ones on the black would look ridiculous good. I'll add pictures when I get some time.

I have Rock "Quicksand" case with the Xperia S.
Dropped it from around waist level to the hard ground. No scratch.
So.. when I got One, I quickly try to find a Quicksand series but they don't seem to made it yet.

Search on amazon for the bear motion case. I had the quicksand for my s3 and this bear motion feels just like that.

Thanks, I already ordered something similar from ebay (not bear motion). I believe they came from the same wholesale retailer and slap different brand on it...
