Greeting,
Cey

i want get a black one...

Dam nice dude!
Wish we could get these in SA
Would def go for the white cover on the black phone.

I think I just vomited a little in my mouth...

It is okay! Nothing beats the black though! Although i experiment with colours when buying a case.

Is the back flush with the little bump on the bottom of the phone?

Yes it makes the phone flush with the camera, I have the black one and it finishes it off nicely!
Once fitted you can put your phone down anywhere without worrying about nasty scratches on the bottom of the phone.

Wow that's awesome I might look into that! I'll just have to see if it will work with the ATT version.

Sorry friend, but that's the first place I looked for it..tried every possible combination of "Samsung", "Galaxy S2", "extended battery cover", "GT-I9100", "oem", "original"...
In fact I have 2 extended batteries, had bought the Korean version first only to find that the cover doesn't fit, battery does though..then ordered the International version for which both fit perfectly.
Am trying to find an extended battery (official 2000mAH) cover only for the international version so I can sell it or exchange...
So, if anyone has seen one on an online store..plz do let me knw..thnx

i check with samsung service center here in PH. it seems the only for sale is the standard issue and can't buy the extended battery cover only

thanks
Thanks for posting Cey123! I was about to buy the ext battery with white cover, but i changed my mind I will go with the black one. But i will get a white sgp case to.

Looks better than I thought it would.

Thanks.
Going black on black personally though.

Samsung flip cover

So I got a flip cover from the Samsung US website and it doesn't snap on my note. The little prongs are very short and don't even line up properly. A couple of the corners seem to snap on, but the other two don't, and the whole cover just doesn't stay on at all. Really crappy manufacturing from an original Samsung accessory. Very disappointed with Samsung on this one...

are you using this on International Note? The back cover of US model is not compatible with the International model.
And sometimes you really need to apply some pressure to snap it in place first time.

I'm using the international flip cover with the international Note and am very impressed with the quality and finish. Fits like a glove and looks exclusive too.

Personally, I don't like the booklet/diary cover type case on the Note...
In taking or dialling a call, you have to flip it all the way to the back of the phone (just for the sake of it.) For me it's kind of awkward to hold on with the flip cover being flipped at the back.
I like the flip down cover case more. No hassle, just flip it down when your going to use your Note, and flip it up again when your done using your phone.

Yes.. I agree, I got one with the note when I bought it 4 months ago, and I didn't really like how you have to fold it back to make/receive a call. I took it off and now its just sitting in my drawer and now I am using my note without any case as it just looks good without any case. I just didn't want to add any bulkiness as its already a big phone...

just bought a flip down leathercase (black), Now I'm really not feeling awkward in using my phone...
Using the flip diary cover back then was a cumbersome part really on my end to use my phone (especially in calling)... Now that I bought the flip-down leathercase....
I get the ease of use and better protection already .. all rolled into one

The Samsung flip cover is nice and thin, but I gave up on it because it does not fit in the Car Dock or the desk dock. I would like one same in concept, but flip over the top - just like the Palm Tungsten T3 I used for years.

You can dial/answer a call and then close the lid. Simple as that.

Bending the cover/lid all the way to back, is not my take of convenience... IMHO..
I would prefer the flip-down cover, where if you would use the phone (taking/receiving calls or what-nots), its just a simple way of flipping down the cover, no strain needed at all.... (as compared to the diary/booklet type where you really have to exert some force bending the face cover all the way to the back of it and hold it with with your hand).
That's just my take anyway... I guess to each its own.. whichever suits your fancy..

Why u should NOT USE that flip cover..
People I am giving you a video review of why u should NEVER USE that flip cover if u love your Galaxy Note..n after watching it u will agree with me..

We five friends took 5 notes at the same go and got the same flip cover by Samsung, free with them,
3 out of five were perfect fit, however two of them were not completely flushed with the body as described by you, they replaced both of them in a week one was a fit and one was plagued with the same issue.
The retailer told that it was a known issue with the last lot of covers that he received.(He claimed returning 16 of those covers and directing four people to service center)
So this time we were redirected to a service center where they adjusted some groves on the phone and the same cover flushed properly with the phone.
All the three notes without the issues were for guys and the other two belonged to girls LOL ha ha ha well that's a different story.
Off topic:
I am not happy with the build quality of the flip covers as its just few weeks old and the leather(or whatever it is) is already peeling from different places had to use tiny bits of super glue..........

Confused
My people out here just wanted to know if there is any difference between the SGN I7000 and the ATnt version, HW wise am asking that too not internal.
Cause the other day I saw a hard case and holster for note, it was advertised just for SGN atnt 717, but not for I7000.
So my question is will it fit both?? Or is there any difference in the contours of the phone body??
TIA

Actually the atnt version is slightly smaller than the international version, but includes 4g lte. Also the exynos processor is faster than the snapdragon processor found in the atnt version. Also, the atnt version has 4 soft touch buttons at the bottom of the screen and the international version has 2 soft touch buttons, with a physical home button between them.

The Samsung flip cover is not that bad - it gives a fairly ok rear protection to SGN and gives the phone a classy look when viewed from the front.
The only protection for my SGN i still need is a screen guard

The add-on stock Samsung Flip cover is an eye candy alright, and I agree.. it gives a classy and sleekness on the phone itself.... BUT
comfortability and usability wise... it's another case already... I totally dislike the usability of it... It is not convenient (for me) using it especially on taking or recieving calls, It is totally cumbersome and awkward to flip it all the way to the back of the phone...
My vote still goes to the flip down cover... usability and comfortability for me is my first and primary concern, and that's all that matters to me.

The flip cover has a cutout for the speaker, so you could just leave it closed while taking a call. Granted, it's still uncomfortable to use with it flipped back.

No way... I'd rather prefer having my cheek pressing on the Note's glass surface rather than the cardboard cover itself..
don't you think it's too much awkwardness already? (flipping the cover all the way to the back of the phone and now talking and pressing your cheeks on the hard cover)

Keeps the glass cleaner, IMO.

They are pretty cool, and useful. It's saved my phone a couple times so far.
Got a cool green one for flash and a black one for cash (work) lol...
And the felt backing on the flip cover continuously wipes the screen clean of all fingerprints and such

Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 Flip Cover Video Review

Genuine Samsung S3 Cover / Case Part No - EFC-1G6FBECSTD
Youtube Link
As always any feedback is more than welcome

Good point someone just made, you can't see the LED for notifications.
Not a major thing for me but it maybe for some people.

It also makes using the camera a bit of a pain. Useful for proping up the phone though.

Yeah I agree. Not my kind of case tbf but as it's a genuine product I thought I'd review it. My favorite case so far is a case from tech21

Like the fit, but blocking the led and awkward way you'd have to use camera make it a no go.
great review though.

Cheers. Too many downsides to make it the case for me but they are very popular with S3 owners.

I don't mind the not holding anything side of things but they are expensive. You can tell it is a very high quality case though.

Those of you moaning about the led being covered just leave the cover open when on a desk!
As for the video, the screen turns off when your on a call anyway......

Yeah I'm aware the proximity sensor turns the screen off when it's by the side of your face but I thought it was worth pointing out it still works with the case.

Hello everyone,
I'm using the flip cover on my S3 and is exactly what i wanted. The only problem is the led being covered, so, i used a tool that i have to make holes on belts to make one on the cover and now is perfect for me.
See the pic below. The cover is very hard, i had to make a lot of "force" to make the hole.

Looks like a good job. Nice work. I'm surprised Samsung didn't put the hole there in the first place

I doubt they will but I think it would increase sales as a lot of people have pointed out the issue. I can't see how they can solve the issue of using the camera though.

Can someone that owns this case answer me this;
Is this cover protective for the screen in a case of a fall? I mean does it "lock" in place over the screen? If you turn it upside down for example, the flip opens?
I believe its the most basic thing that should be answered (if it does not protect the screen its useless) and no one in any review does this simple test.

Sorry I thought it was clear, no it doesn't lock to the screen so it dropped it could easily flap open.

I got one of these a couple of weeks back for my device. I found it was rather annoying having to hold it at an awkward angle when on the phone. I wish they'd made it flip up or down instead of to the side. It also means you can't hold it very well with your left hand either, as it adds even more width on to the device!
I've switched to a skin thingy now instead, even though it leaves the screen open to damage. I'm still looking to get some kind of plastic cover I can use with the skin I've got though.

Is Samsung Apps (app) preloaded on the T-Mobile models?

I know that they usually don't include that in us model phones, but it would be a shame because I'm seeing a lot of the apps just attach to things like Samsung Keyboard and extend functionality, or be customized for S Pen. Can someone chime in?

yep

Great! Thanks!

I recommend the Nillken case (just got mines in the mail) from ebay:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=140855149689&ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
it's pretty light and thin, and the rear cover has a dotted texture which makes holding the Note II MUCH easier than just the slippery back cover.
But if you want the Samsung cover, there's a 50% code flying around these forums

Samsung S4 Mini recognition problem.

Dear S4 Mini users,
Today I bought a Samsung Galaxy S4 mini. I also bought a original Samsung Flip Cover. The Android software is original and everything is up-to-date. B
But I have a problem, when I put the Flip Cover over the phone, it doesn't turn my screen off. I have the same problem, when I open the Flip Cover, then my screen doesn't go on. Does anyone knows why it doesn't work? I tried every little thing!
I really hope that my new phone isn't already damaged.
Regards,
Erik

Odd i don`t know the behaviour of flip cover without window if it should unlock the screen or not. S-view cases does have a small magnet inside on left/middleish of flip part that triggers a sensor inside the phone. Can u check with a metal screwdriver or so on your flip cover to see if the magnet is there ? ( no clue if u have one or not )

Thank you again for a really fast and useful answer. I tried what you suggested and i believe that the cover doesn't have a magnet. So that's the reason that it doesn't work?
Just bad luck. I hope that i can change it the shop.

As i said, i don`t know how Flip covers should work ( the ones without window ).. Maybe someone else with a flip cover can come by and answer
But as a personal recomandation, if u can change your flip cover at the shop for a window one, u will be more happy ( u can answer calls without opening the flip, u can see time/date/notifications )
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ja8gRbK5n_Q if i look at this video the screen does not turn off/on with the cover so it means normal flip cover does not have any magnet to do the trick
---------- Post added at 09:31 PM ---------- Previous post was at 09:20 PM ----------
And also u can look at Galaxy S4 Mini Smart View Cases
The Nillkin one is more "elegant" and slim BUT it have 2 flaws
- the magnet holding the flip toghether is not so strong
- the screen is positioned 2 mm too down and u don`t see the battery/signal thru the window
The Jammylizard one is a little more bulky, bo problems with screen BUT it does have a small problem with the cut for USB part. The original samsung cable does not fit all the way in, u must cut a little from the case plastic The magnet is verry strong here keeping the case closed
I prefer those 2 over original because they are much more cheaper and they protect all sides of the phone not like original that u change back cover
I first had the jammylizard one now the Nillkin and i like Nillkin more
