Did you end up buying one? Just saw them couple of days ago, I found some designs that I liked but not sure about the quality and how it looks in real life.

I still have not, it just not a priority as I'm happy with the cases that I have now. But I am very curious of the quality myself.
.
I have bought a couple for my gf's note1 and my razr phone. The case is so so, and the sides of the case are white despite the design of the back being colored.
I Bunch of cool designs wish they have a front protector built in to protect the screen when not in use

I did order one, it took about 10 days for delivery to USA from the UK.
I got the purple one shown above, it is very thin with the bottom and top edge completely open.
The sides wrap around the front to attach the case. The design coating on the back feels tacky and less likely to slip from your hand.
The inside of the hard back is white and the right and left sides have a strip that is about 3/16 that is also white.
Did not expect much for the price, and I probably got my moneys worth.

Would you say this is decent enough protection for while it's in use, and should still be put in a sleeve or other case when tossed in a bag?
Do you happen to also have the keyboard dock? If not, does it appear to add too much thickness to be able to dock while still protected? That's my only complaint about my folio case, is having to remove it from the holder whenever I want to use the keyboard dock. I figure it's only a matter of time before the case holder snaps or something from the constant in/out

There is no screen cover or protection. You would have to use a sleeve to travel with it. I do not have a keyboard dock but it may work.
I use it when at home while playing racing games, my 360 case is just to bulky and awkward when playing these types of games. I don't have to worry about setting in down for a few minutes on a hard surface if I need to take a call or something like that. I also have a jelly case that just covers the back but this one is much thinner. It is about 3/64 of an inch thick.

My kids love watching movies on my wife's phone and have dropped it a few times, but luckily no scratches or dents yet. Since there weren't many choices locally, I decided to get the "Black Silicone Case" from Amazon since it was around $4 shipped.
It shipped from Van Nuys, CA and took three days... which is a little odd because I'm in Hollywood, CA which is about 10 miles away... Thanks USPS!
The case is pretty thick and seems like it'll take a few drops. It's on par with other silicone cases in terms of feel. The fit is good, nice and tight, and ports all line up.
Here's the link: http://www.amazon.com/Black-Silicone-Samsung-Captivate-SGH-I897/dp/B003Z741PK/

hows the quality?
I got the black Amzer jelly case from Amazon. IMHO the quality is perfect.
I got this one because it has the textured grip feel on the sides and because the corners are thicker. I figure that thicker corners would do better at shock isolation.
It's pretty good quality. The only other silicone case I've had some time with was for the Blackberry Bold and it was Blackberry branded. I'd say they're the same. I'd say it's the same as the Amzer one but a lot cheaper. I'm not a big fan of the Amzer cases because of the design on the silicone and their hard case having the extra material at the top, with hole for the sensors, it's bit tacky looking.
is it bendable or pretty stiff?
...sorry about all the questions, im interested

It's really soft, the edges around the screen give pretty easily. It's not soft to the point where the phone is going to pop right out, there's enough of a lip around the screen to keep that from happening. It's tight all the way around so the phone doesn't move around in it. Seriously though if you don't like it, you're only out $4. That was my reasoning anyway.
good point thanks! nice to have people give their reviews and deals on things

Black Silicone Case / Skin / Cover for Samsung Captivate SGH-I897
i went to a mall kiosk today and put my phone inside one of these and it is really slick... the lady seemed irritated that I didn't want to purchase it. feels like a dry-ish dolphin
The case I got was the opposite, it's pretty damn sticky... like sticks to your pant pockets or the inside pocket inside my wife's purse. Also picks up a ton of lint, dust, etc. I'm starting to dislike it...
^^^ I just received mine yesterday. I would have to agree with you on the lint part.
For $4 and change, I won't complain. This will have to do until I find a good hard shell.

I got mine today. Great quality. It was exactly what I needed
I just ordered the set with the case, charger, and screen protector. Like kkeo and whitesedan I don't like the fact that it's pretty sticky and picks up lint pretty bad since I keep it in my top shirt pocket at work. I also don't like the seam where it's molded together. I'll need to take a razor to it so I can smooth it out. But then again for $6.19 shipped that's pretty good. It fit's perfect I just don't like how sticky it is. I'm still looking around for a case to replace it but this one works pretty good for the cost.
I have this same one and it's pretty good, a bit sticky though. The grip however in your hand is great, actually take photos better now because it grips so well. It's soft and easy to take off when I need to change the battery, (I bought this ebay $10 charger and dual extra batteries deal).

I'm having some real trouble deciding on a case. I've never used a clip on hard case or any body glove thing for any previous phone cause some people said they damage the phone if it gets dust. I also feel a lot more safe with something covering the screen like with a flip top or a decent leather pouch.
I'm an IT tech and do mostly call out or field work so I'm not always in a hazard free office environment. Something can knock against my pocket or I'll be under a dirty desk etc.
I can fairly easily get hold of a casemate or an otterbox. is this and a screen guard enough or should I be thinking of a leather case? I can get a PDair flip style but not sure I like it from the pics I've seen. I really like the look of the zenus style ones I've seen in a few other threads. Only thing is something like that I need to order from oversea or eBay and will take a while to get to me (I'm in south Africa)
Am I just paranoid because of the screen being left bare ?

I had the barely there case on my previous Galaxy s and bought another for my s2. I only had it a day or two and thought it did not do enough to satisfy me that my phone would be protected. The corners are pretty exposed and the screen completely so.
I bought a flip over case from ebay, unable to do a link to it but if you search for
BLACK REAL LEATHER CASE FOR SAMSUNG GALAXY S 2 II i9100 on ebay it will hopefully show you the one i am talking about.
It is extremely low profile, does not add much bulk at all to your phone but i feel totally confident now with my phone when out and about. Feel as if it could survive a drop from a decent height easily. I preferred this case to others as it only has a small magnetic catch at the top holding it shut (effectively) rather than a big catch overlapping and catching when i put it in my pocket. I am sure there must be something similar, closer to home for you. Good luck.
I got a PDair flip-it leather case and i'm pretty cool with it. I also put a screen protector and ta da my phone seems pretty much safe. Since the phone is really thin, i'm more confident when holding the phone with this case and it feels like i'm holding my ex phone HTC Touch HD, acceptable thickness for me. I'll upload some pic as soon as i charge my Touch HD, don't have any other camera around right now

If you're planning on using a case that effectively doubles the size of your handset while making a call you might as well just get a DynaTAC.
Get a flip style case with express shipping.
Zenus has diary series too. Highly recommended.
i got the official samsung leather flip and its very good IMO it doesnt add to much bulk aswell
I thought a Flip Top Case will be a perfect one to protect the device and purchased one, pricey one I should say, but now, after a week, I am bored, this thing is a PITA. Receiving the Case Mate Tough on Monday, won't use the current one anymore, damn protection

I decided to give this a try after reading your post. The company here does not have the otterbox cases in stock yet. The Pdair one is almost half the price anyways. If I really dont like it or feel I need something else then i'll get the otterbox also.
I also ordered an SGP oleo screen protector from the SGP store. Will post some pics when I recieve the case. Should take about 10 days.
Thanks for the advice guys!
So I was given the opportunity to test out 2 cases by Pyro Skins. This is one of them and it is my favorite for sue. It's made of high quality materials. It fits the tab perfectly and the clips hold the tab very firmly without even coming close to marking up the tab. It doesn't add too much bulk to the already thin tab. It doesn't cover any of the hardware buttons at all. It feels great to carry around and it looks really classy. I would definitely recommend this case to anyone! This company did an awesome job with this one and
there isn't anything I think I would change about it.

Thanks for the review.
After i saw this i instantly bought it. Looks very good and the price is amazing
Wow, that case does look amazing, probably the best one so far.
And this is why it sucks to be an early adopter of electronics, when the first come out there are no good cases for it. Then you buy one or two and not happy with it, a few months go by and then new and better cases flood the market.
Used to happen with me all the time with how often I switched Blackberry's. I have Ghost Armor on my GT so I will stick with that until more cases are out.
But I may have to buy this one for now, it looks sick.
Update: Said screw it and bought it, for how good it looks and the price I would have hated myself for waiting and then it being back-ordered.

Seems tough to get the two bottom hooks out to angle it. I'm scared it'll wear the edges out over time due to it. What a shame. Close to perfection...
PS - Is it just me or do the side flaps block a bit of the speakers?!

Really ? The two bottom hooks come out nice for me. They'll probably loosen up a little after some time. As for the speakers, the hooks are just right at the bottom of the speakers on mine. Wouldn't effect anything.

It will not go that shallow. There is a friction/spring action type thing that prevents it. If you were to force it down (which makes it feel like its going to snap) it will pop back up. Additionally, if forced down so the bottom of the tab touches the lip, the tab would be flat and not angled.
If I'm understanding what you are saying, there is no way to do it.
I ordered this case on Saturday and my wife said it was delivered today already...
Now that was fast

The current best flip cases for any galaxy note I guess.
It also doubles as a light wallet.
I have a zenus case for my Galaxy Tab 7 and it is very good quality.
Just what I was after, only I've already bought a separate stand and case now.
That's what I'm looking for as well -- protection, wallet, and stand all in one classy package!
Unfortunately I already ordered an Easecase leather case/wallet. It won't have the flap this one does, but at least it won't get in the way of the camera for quick pic taking...
Nice find.

They look pretty but I generally don't recomment flip cases with card compartment inside as they'll leave annoying marks on the screen.
I am intersted in the carbon one but it uses a magnetic clip and after so much discusion on it I am becoming paranoid.
for features i want the ostrich, but only features, gawd its sooo ugly, not even and good colors, i would almost prefer alligator or something, BUT it has no dumb magnetic clasp, that would needed to be folded back to prevent it from interfearing with the screen all the time, and it has an earpiece cut out!! that would be a DEF in my book for any flip cover, sooo, i dont know, its a lot of money for a pimply cover

How do you know it uses magnetic?
Adding the VERUS brand to this topic. Similar cases.
I had once one of theirs for S2 (J style leather with no flip) the quality was medium at best, because the leather is stuck to a plate of plastic by some gum, and over 2 months most of the gum of corners just goes away and reveals the edges of the black plastic plate in an ugly fashion. So unless you take the BLACK color (so the edges worning off won't be noticable I'd be cautious with this brand if I were you. But it's quite cheap.
But I may be mistaken since it happened on a red S2 one without a flip, maybe they fixed the issue, or maybe the flip will protect the leather gummy insertion from pocket friction.

Another funny cover with kickstand I found http://cgi.ebay.fr/Folid-Stand-Leat...740?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3f10e5037c
Ordered a black VERUS one because :
- cheaper
- no latch
- covers front (screenbreaking corners) and back corners in case it falls opened (zenus only does the back corners)

ClassicK uses magnets isn't it?
Looks like only the versus K protects the corners of the phone.
Most of the cases out there for the note leave the 4 corners exposed, they are the most likely to first impact the ground when you drop the phone. Those looking for cases for their notes need to find cases that also cover/protect the corners of the phone.
Just my 2 cents from past experiences.

I don't believe so. I don't speak Korean and Google translate will only get you so far! I can't work out if it's real or 'PU' leather either. Anyway, it should arrive in a few days, we'll see then

For those who bought or ordered zenus diary case, don't forget to check if s pen works properly with magnet in case. In Korea one user found out that there is dead zone when using s pen due to interference from magnet and manufacturer knows that and asking users to return and get fixed one.
They said they almost collected cases which have the issue but who knows.
I will keep eye on it and will decide whether I buy or not

I've searched high and low for a case that suited me and my Note and eventually found a very nice case from Tridea on eBay. I received a couple of days ago and think that it looks and performs great. You can find it by searching on Tridea.Essentially it's a hard bumper in a nice sort of faux suede flip case. I went for the gray version.
It's a bit pricey at £25 and it took a couple of weeks to arrive from South Korea but I've yet to see a case that looks anywhere near as good for the money.
I just bought one too! It should arrive within a week, I got the same color as you did. I'm glad you like it, because it makes me more excited to get mine
I wanted this case more than most others but my number one issue with them all is that very few have a cut out for the ear piece!! not even a notch, i want my face oils off the screen and not have to hold the flap back on a call, simple design i would think, sigh.
I love this case, I bought the grey one as well. I do wish it had a hole for the speaker though.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium
Hmm, the front flap does fold round the back when using it to make calls and even gives a bit more of a better grip on the phone so I'm not that bothered about it not having a notch for the earpiece.
lamou1nr: As far as a hole for the speaker goes, it's got one but I guess you meant the same as Mrglass86.
I like the case because 1) it looks good 2) it's very light 3) it offers good bumper protection with the addition of a cover for the front that also keeps the screen clean. 4) it feels really nice and solid without adding a load of bulk to the phone.
I don't see the fascination with the aluminium bumpers. They don't look as though they'd offer any protection in a drop.
I like some of the Zenus cases (it was either the Tridea or the Zenus Capsule case) but they're expensive and the diary types just seem like a bit of a gimmick - would you really keep your cash and cards in the same case as your Note? Not me!
Until otterbox or a similar maker comes up with a really tough aluminium case I'm happy to stick with the Tridea.
If you fold it too often it will eventually get loose or have lines along the edge. Another issue with all such book-like case is that we cannot use our thumb to operate the phone anymore.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using XDA App
Just ordered it. I hope it'll arrive sooner than expected.
Anybody bought this kind of Tridea case? Available on eBay for $22.

Wow I dont normally like flip cases but this one looks very nice. Not sure if i'll fork out for one as i've already got cases for it but can you guys post pictures when you get it, i'll get a better idea than from the ebay pics
Just thought I'd follow up on my OP. I've been using this case for almost a couple of months. The phone gets a lot of use by me and is constantly being taken in/out of my pockets. I'm happy to say that the case is holding up well. I think that the 'spine' of the cover would be the first part to go since it's the part that gets the most stress.
After two months the fabric along the spine has been smoothed but doesn't look bad, kind of what you'd expect really, it 'weathered'. There is some very thin rubber edging that runs along the edge of the whole case and this has initially split on the spine hinge area but it has only come off in one tiny section. It's hardly noticeable.
The main thing is that it's protected my Note very well. I don't expect a huge lifespan from it (at least the cover) but the bumper around the note will last. I may utilise a bit of gaffer tape to strengthen the spine and you could do this without spoiling the aesthetic if you do it properly. I may also use some rubber spray that I bought from Amazon which is really useful stuff (it coats whatever you spray in a matt rubber coating). One last thing to mention is that some people were bothered that you couldn't get to the volume controls while the case was shut, well you can press the rocker through the spine without any problem so you can use the volume control even with the Note in your pocket. I'll update this if I notice anything further degradation but all-in-all I like this cover a lot still.
My case has also held up reasonably well. It provides great protection. I too had the rubber on the edge ware off but only on the "hinge" of the cover. The only other part that is showing signs of age is the metallic plastic piece that is on the back, it has a few scuffs and a chip. For a flip case this is one of the best.
