Finally I get to post this.
My conclusion of this product is that it offers great value with very nice looks and feels no different that my more expensive SPG case but you can tell where the SPG has finer details specially in the different openings.
Still for $10 for the basic model and $15 for the "flashier" one, you cannot really go wrong.
Highly Recommend for NOTE owners! :good:

Looked at these. They're pretty nice looking for the money, but I'd rather have a flip-case so that the screen of my Note receives some protection when in my pocket. Looking at this...

Hi guys. I posted this in General this morning, but I think this is a better place... if a mod sees this please move/delete the post in General.
Check this: http://www.decalgirl.com. I know this place from some time already when I bought them for my iPod.
They make vinyl adhesive covers for almost every device in the world, and some of them look really cool, specially the rugged ones. The material (rugged) has very good quality and they send it by regular mail including a key to download the desktop wallpaper that fits EXACTLY with the design, making the customization very good.
Its very easy to place as the adhesive material which is made of can be placed and removed as many times as you need, and it will keep your device away from dirt and scratches. You can even have more than one and switch them when you want, as they're easy to remove and they can be placed again even if several days/weeks have passed.
Yesterday I went to check if they had covers for the Archos 70IT, and found they only have for the 10.1, the 4.3 and the old archos as the 7HT, that's slightly different from 70IT, so they wouldn't fit.
I posted a "Device Suggestion" asking them if they would support the Archos 70IT in a near future, and this is their reply:
We do not have that device currently. What I can do though is have it added to our list of devices to discuss with our development team.
If the device is really being marketed or we get a great response from consumers there may be a great chance we will do it.
We release about 4-5 devices per month so are always looking for devices to bring in.

Maybe if enough of us ask them to make it, they will do... I would love to get covers for the A70IT cause they make it look really cool and customized. Will anyone lend a hand and help me asking them to make it?
Cheers
They seem expensive at $20. For press/apply vinyl, I wouldn't expect to pay more than $5. There are folio cases available in the $20 range, after all.

I agree they're expensive.. but anyway, folio cases and this kind of vinyl skins are not the same animal...
Guess you're paying the design and giving your device a "unique" or "cool" looking more than protecting it...

Skinomi has skins that come with screen protectors. They have clear, carbon fiber, and natural wood skins. Unfortunately the carbon fiber and the wood skins for the 70 still show out of stock when you try and order them. I plan on getting the dark wood skin once they are available. 24.95 for the 70 skin and you can usually find a coupon to use with the purchase with a quick Google search. They also have a lifetime replacement guarantee.
Skinomi is finally are showing the Carbon Fiber and Natural Wood skins for the 70s as in stock. Just ordered the Dark Wood skin. They are $24.95, used the coupon code "get25" to save 25% and it was free shipping. All together cost $18.71.

Thanks for posting them over there, some good photos. I've found them on amazon.co.uk for us Brits if anyone's interested.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/skinomi-Ele...omi+archos&rh=n:560798,k:Skinomi+archos&ajr=3
They're still shipped from CA in the States, so, shipping still remains good fun../
Its hard to find the threads relevant to you so I though I would start one for people in the UK.
Please post links and mini reviews to items you have bought or seen.
Has anyone had experience with these ecell leather cases?
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/COFFEE-BROWN-ANYMODE-ROTATING-LEATHER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-10-1-N8000-/390496797674?pt=UK_iPad_Tablet_Cases_Covers_Keyboard_Folios&hash=item5aeb6c43ea
Seems cheap for a real leather case
I bought this screen protector (pack of 2) from Media Devil "MediaDevil Magicscreen Screen Protector: Crystal Clear (Invisible) edition". I can't post links, but it's available from their website, eBay and Amazon. MediaDevil are also a UK company.
The quality of it is amazing, I can't even tell it's on the screen. It also doesn't affect the S-Pen which is great. I highly recommend it, though I admit it's price might put people off (currently about £15).
I have paid more for screen protectors for phones.
I usually get dust under them though when fitting them.
I will look these ones up now.
I just ordered that case I linked to on ebay.
Have you got any other accessories ?

Nothing yet. I'm getting this case (search ebay for 261097757601), but for Christmas, so I won't be able to comment until then I looks like a clone of the Official Book Cover - hopefully the quality is ok.
Hey fellas,
Got my hands on affordable (but well made!) aluminum bumper style case for the Galaxy S3. This particular model came from Tmart but you can find similar ones on eBay, in all sorts of colors. It's a two piece case that fits nice and snug around your S3. It WILL bubble up some screenshields, which is unfortunate. All the ports and the cutouts are spot on, which is impressive for such an affordably priced case. Overall, while it doesn't offer a lot of protection, if you're looking for a bumper case - this is a good option!

Why keep throwing that word "affordable" out and not say what you paid for it? I have this very case since August ordering it straight from the manufacturer. I could find no dealer in the US. Plus, there were many knockoffs, especially on Ebay. Don't get me wrong, I love my TrioBump, I'm just annoyed at how so many post while leaving out details!
EDIT: Well, I watched the video and must apologize and complain even more! I should have watched it first (my bad) but I'd rather read the pertinent details in the post than watch a vid. I do not agree with your assessments. I think this case gives protection where it is needed most. I don't use any of those new fangled screen protectors that supposedly protect the display from impact damage. I think that's going to far. I do employ the Invisishield on front and back. It give a very snug fit with no bubbling. That said, I'm confident that I will not get any damage if my phone take a hit anywhere this bumper covers. My only concern would be having it hit a rock directly to the screen and in that case, I have insurance. I like the minimalist form factor plus the ease with which it can be taken on/off to change batteries. Plus, I can use it with my FlyGrip which is why I searched for just such a minimalist case. You slip in your two fingers and can use the phone with one hand without worrying about dropping. Plus, as you can see, it doubles as a stand. What has me newly annoyed is the price you quoted. I paid about 4o bucks from the manufacturer, Gimmick Five. I don't see how it could be sold for just 10 dollars.
EDIT: Just checked Gimmick Five's website, and they are still listed at 39.99 US. I'd like to know the story behind Tmart's TrioBumps.
Recently, I ordered in a black carbon fiber skin for the back cover on my SGSIII from the Scratch Dummy store on eBay.
It only cost me $.99 with free shipping (only took two days to arrive) this is my text review of the product. The full coverage only costs $1.99.
You can find it here: http://stores.ebay.com/scratchdummybrand
Along with their entire store at: http://scratchdummy.com/
Pricing
It only costs a dollar so you really can't go wrong there. I bought it out of sheer curiosity to customize my SGSIII a little bit more. For a buck, I would say that it's worth every penny. I consider myself a cheapo that sometimes sacrifices quality for price, but in this case, I would say that I paid for a high quality product that should be valued at a higher price.
Quality/Durability
I actually did some scratch tests after installation just to see how well it would stand up. Of course, I did the blatant key and coins pocket test while Christmas shopping for a couple of hours and my phone was completely fine. The skin itself did not scratch at all. I didn't take a drill or a razor to the skin, but I can tell that this is a product that will last. Especially given its pricing.
Look
It's the pretty common carbon fiber pattern that I think looks great. I ordered the black carbon fiber, but they carry white, grey, and pink as well. Additionally, I ordered a clear version that should be arriving next week.
Installation
Installation was a breeze. It was a wet installation, much like when you install some other protectors. They did not include a cleaning cloth or any solution but they do give some instructions on how to make the application solution from their website and included instruction sheet. I had a bunch of microfibers laying around (and i'm sure most of you do too.) Applied and left it to dry for about 3 hours and I was good to go.
Comparisons
This is truly the cheapest skin you will find (not from China.) It's advertised as being American-made ('Murica). A full body kit (Carbon fiber) only costs $2.99 from Scratch Dummy. Compared to the $29.99 (Carbon fiber) and $24.99 (clear) pricing that Ghost Armor offers. Quite honestly, the material is of similar quality. For a fraction of the cost.
Conclusions
It's the cheap man's Ghost Armor/Zagg. I think that it performs well and still allows me to use a case if I want. I'd say give it a shot, and if you don't like it, you're only out a dollar. It's really worth a try, in my opinion. I know a quality product when I see one, and this is definitely something that i'd recommend to you guys.
Thank you for the review dude, I was looking for something like this because I wasn't really shure about buying this brand because of the really really cheap price.
Now that I've seen you review I'm totally going to buy it right now. :good:
Ive has this for about a week now. Very very nice quality. I wouldve uploaded pictures but I thought you would do so. But I got the black carbon fiber back protector

Best Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 3 (Wallet type case with card slots)?
Hard to say what is a best since it could be a matter of personal preference, but you can get a lot of choices here: http://www.tvc-mall.com/search?cid=&q=note+3+wallet
If I'm looking for no-brand name accessories, I typically deal with either tvc-mall.com for cases or dx.com for other gadgets.

I like texture of this case.
I have not seen any brand cases where they have those card slots and have nice texture.
Many cases looks so wierd and poor quality.

Looks very similar to one of the S4 cases I tested/reviewed from case-parts.com (it's the same company as tvc-mall.com), here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2319150 - scroll down to white wallet case. The texture and built quality was very good.

this looks very proper and elegant, thanks :good:
Taking a shot with this. Exactly the type and style I was looking for. Almost abnormally high number of 5 star reviews on Amazon but looks legit:
Black Panther Leather Wallet Case
Black Leather Wallet Case
Ordered the Black Panther directly through their website, followed on Twitter for 10% discount, ends up $9 cheaper than Amazon
Fliptroniks direct link
No mention of it (or the company) through a search here at xda so taking a chance. I'll return and give my opinion once I get it.
Spigeon Slim Armor S-view
Although I usually love Spigeon cases, the Slim Armor S-View model is sub-par IMO. The hinge for the front cover is held together by two small plastic pegs, which after less than a month of opening and closing it has caused the plastic part that holds the pegs in, to break off and the hinge will not stay on and close. If you just love the case or want the S-View function, than I would eith suggest the official Samsung S-View case and buy the magnetic clips to keep it closed, or get a knock-off case. I remember aliexpress.com having a bunch of knock-off stuff for cheap, but keep in mind it is still knock-off/clones.
Wallet case? I don't know, probably Spigen has some nice cases. I have one wallet case and is from Design Skin. I like it, but don't how others would think about it.
I just want to say i don't like my Note 3.
