Been using it for 1.5 Months, i know it's under some stress, but common, is it that cheap??
Are the edges stitched?
I have the same problem with mine, and I have heard of a lot others to with ruined flip cases. Poor quality.. I hope this dont reflect the quality of the actual phone..

This is my 3rd galaxy phone, never had ANY problems with them hardware wise.
So i'm not worried, they just didn't think the flip cover through when they designed it.
I don't think it's stitched, it's glewed, it's not real leather too, it's plastic.
The concept isn't that bad however the actual design is a real shame.
I can confirm the same worn out symptoms after 2 months of use.
The Note itself is fine.
The case is not made by Samsung and is probably contracted out to the lowest bidder. Granted that doesn't make it any better since we still spend a fair amount of money on accessories like this. But it doesn't really reflect on the actual Samsung device quality imo.

Theres a reason this case is offered freee every where.
For christ's sake, why won't any other company create the same case with higher quality material that doesn't leak glue?
not worth it even cheap
I just bought some stuff from amazon.co.uk sent to my UK address (as the idiots won't ship to Oz). I could have bought the stock Note case quite cheap but did not based on your experiences.
Hopefully reduced sales will get them thinking, but that is reaching, I guess.
Same here!
Original cover has worn out on the edges, so I have started looking for the good cover. Any good suggestions?
If it was 4$ id get 10 of them and change every 2 months. But the one i have cost 25$
I am happy i saved u some $$$ i doubt samsung cares about the flip cover.

Agreed. Btw I have seen them sell on eBay for ~$10 each (brown, blue, red, white), black ~$18
For those that want a dock, or just the piece that pops into the front of the HDMI dock (for the GT7). Literally sold my GT10 yesterday; I'd buy one right now just for the plastic piece.

Probably my last post in this forum by the way. It's been a fun year (*found my receipt dated 7/30/11). Got the nexus 7 and I honestly can't imagine turning back. The GT10 is a great tablet and will be for some time; I just can't spend all of my time flashing ROMs on 2 devices! Anyways, enjoy your tablets, especially now that you'll have working cameras within a few days!
thanks for the link. price is very good.
is this site legit? 4.95 seems almost too good...

LOOOL. HHgreg is legit. xD :good:
my local store had two of them. bought them both. still need one more. the guys at the counter were annoyed that they had no idea of the price. so i feel kinda lucky they were there.
the downside... there is no charger. so they expect me to use the short three foot cord that came with the tab. that thing barely reaches from the plug straight up on a table.
anyone know the difference between the multimedia Desktop Dock in the OP with (Model: D1B1BEGXAR)) versus the this one (Model: EDD-D1B1BEGSTA) sold on amazon. They both seem to be for Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 original. I remember the Original galaxy 10.1 was thicker before the US version of the 10.1 came out. no way of telling if this is the case here.
I missed out on this awesome deal. No longer available in my area nor am I able to order online and ship to Washington DC.seems to be sold out or in-store only if available.
Thanks,
Nice deal but how about shipping to germany... ?
anyone know if i can get this one to africa ?
This is great, its only $3.82 now w/o shipping! I bought the media adapter from the original tab 7, which had hdmi, was just proping up the tab 10.1 with a piece of wood behind it, now I can buy this and just use the plastic base piece keyboard is also on sale 17.47, in case any one is interested
I realy want to order one toobecause in europe they are about at least 20-30 €..

just picked mine up in store, apparently they dont ship the dock, you have to do in store pickup. the guy at the store told me it was being discontinued, and I got 1 of the only 2 they had. I also picked up the SD adapter for the tab(official samsumg adapter) for $8.37. I had previously bought a cheap chinese 2 in 1 usb/sdcard adapter, its very ****ty and you have to hold it an exact angle, and not move the device, otherwise you a disconnect...

To bad they dont ship to Canada I'd pick it up then.
Its out of stock. It will let you put it in the cart, but when you go to checkout during the entering of the billing/shipping address it then says its out of stock and must be removed from the basket. Otherwise its a good deal.
If you're a Amazon Prime member its $9.72 shipped for the EDD-D1B1BEGXAR model.
Thank you, really cheap prices a little worried
Well, I'm no stranger to large phones. I currently have my trusty Dell Streak Mini with me running along with DSC but my contract's coming to an end and I have made the choice on getting the Note II in about a week or two. Seemed right considering I couldn't let go of my 5 inch screen and Best Buy was giving away $50 gift cards left and right allowing to pay $50 less for for the phone. I've been reading up a lot on the phone and have just been wondering what exactly are some of your own personal tips you find handy with the device? I'm a bit of a power user so I like learning neat ways of doing stuff
here's an important tip
quit asking about the phone and just buy it now...you cant imagine how much better it is than any other phone out right now..

Believe me, I'd do it in a heartbeat but my contract doesn't end until the end of next week
if you go to the att store, or even best buy, they will let you get it now...I guarantee they don't care you are a couple of weeks away from the end...
If you go to an AT&T store they will let you upgrade up to 14 days in advance. At least that's what they've told me.

Best tip ever:flash the latest clean rom ACE 4.5 when you get it
Att stores don't do price match and their prices are usually higher than best buy or anyone else. In other words, buy your phone at best buy or some place other than att stores.

That's not true, Att is a lot cheaper then best buy if your buying out right. Now on contract it just depends on who has a better deal for a two year agreement.

Well after you purchase the phone this "GALAXY Note II User's Digest" on the play store has some good tips.
ALso there are a number of youtube videos showing tips.
Put it in a case. This phone can be pretty fragile.
Use the volume increase mod, or the latest Perseus kernel to gain access to audio tweaks. The headphone jack by default is a bit quieter than other phones (well, it's quiet for me anyway).
Get best buy to price match amazon wireless $199

I'll be getting it from best buy. I get paid at the end of this week so I'll buy it over the weekend. Best Buy was also where I got my Streak and they were handing out $50 gift cards at the beginning of the month which can be used towards the phone making the final cost $150 before taxes.

I was thinking about getting a case too. Everyone I've talked to says otterboxes are pretty great at protecting phones. I've personally never needed one but I'll be looking into the otterbox commuter.
Personally, I use a Belkin folio case, but I just ordered a Spigen Hardbook. I enjoy the flip-style cases, but everyone has a preference. I think the flip-style cases add a bit of class to the phone. I would love a full leather folio of some sort, but genuine leather is a bit expensive :/
Oh, and my screen scratched. I recommend the iSmooth screen protectors. You literally forget that they're even on there. I'm not impressed with the 'gorilla glass' on this phone. Seriously, not a single one of my other phones scratched before and this is the first time I've ever used a screen protector. It literally scratched in my pocket (nothing else was in the pocket, must've been a grain of sand or something).
The otterbox is great, but it's BULKY. I can't comment on the commuter, but you definitely don't want to add much more bulk to an already large phone. To each his own though, if you can live with a little more baggage, go for it
Hey guys, so Anker is a well known accessory maker for many devices. They are mostly known for the batteries and chargers but have recently (in the last year or so) pushing into the keyboard maker area for tablets. They recently got back to me in one of their forums that they might look into making a keyboard case for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014! From my personal experience, they are really good at listening to their customers and are quick to innovate.
So I'm proposing a poll here to you guys to see if you would be interested! They have made this type of keyboard case for the iPads: http://www.ianker.com/product/98APIPAD5-BFA , which I think would be perfect for the Note 10.1. Please also feel free to comment on what kind of keyboard cases you would like to see or think are most useful.
Disclosure: I am not an employee or related to anyone at Anker, but I am in their Power User program for reviewing their products. I was not paid or prompted by Anker to post this. I just really want to see some manufacturer to finally make a nice keyboard case for the Note 10.1!
Thanks for the tip.
Anker makes realy good quality things, i have the 40 watt charger and its awesome. build quality is beyond anything i have seen. We need more quality things.
Agreed. i wish that they or someone else would actually make a nice keyboard case for the note 10.1. but since i only got a few responses from here, i dont think anker will acutally do anything.
Currently, i have tried stand alone keyboards, like the K480, anker slim, etc. also have tried the periduo 880 from perixx, which has a touchpad and i think is a fantastic option for those who don't mind lugging it around. However, I've realized that I really want a keyboard that I can put on my lap and type away with the tablet attached. Iknow this adds a lot of bulk, but i don't mind it. I'm currently using a keyboard case from ebay (one of those alumnium ones that have the case with it).
There are rumors of a galaxy note 10.1 2015 coming out, i'm hoping that they will have better accessories.
I don't think there is any chance that this will happen. The Note 10.1 2014 did not sell well (it was much too expensive) so the numbers never justified it and now, more than 18 months after its release, there isn't a cat in hell's chance anyone is going to start making new accessories now.
Anyone thought what Samsung should do with all the 3-party accessory's that now Samsung rendered useless?
All the accessory's that are Note 7 unique like cases and so on is kinda useless now, is it to much to as for the money back from the 3-party seller or is this Samsungs thing to deal with?
Would assume Samsung should take the fall for third party accessories when you consider it was their choice to stop production all together.
Boy not only does this cost Samsung a fortune on the note 7 alone I could just imagine of they have to fork out money to pay back people who have purchased 3rd party accessories.
I have a feeling 3rd party developers for the phone will want to take Samsung to court as well considering the amount of money they stand to loose as well.

I can see a lot of unhappy accessory makers
As for us poor buyers ...
Samsung UK have told some callers no refund ...others have been told its in the decision process by Execs as to "if" get refunded for 3rd party accessories
I doubt they will refund myself
This is a long shot. But Samsung could design their new phones, Galaxy S8 or Note 8 with the exact same dimensions.

Never going to happen. They will want to get away from everything associated with the N7 now!
Which is why I said, long shot.
It is more likely Samsung will introduce a radical new design to have a distinct difference from the Note 7.
I guess the consumers that are affected the most are the frequent flyers, who travel a lot, especially for work. This is an unnecessary hassle for them. So a new design is almost necessary.
I am outside my Return period on Amazon for the 1) Galaxy Note 7 Screen Protector (2-Pack), PEMOTech® [PET Full... 2) Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen¨ [Liquid Crystal] Ultra Thin Premium... and 3) Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen¨ [Slim Armor CS] Card Holder [Gunmetal]...

This is a nightmare for Samsung. I have over $200 in cases and accessories (case junkie I am) and just saying eat it is not helping their image at all. They have to make it right somehow.

Hey I get it....
My cases and screen protector are out, but the wireless chargers will become useful again.
I'm not abandoning them over this... sh*t happens, but i'm taking a timeout for now.
I bought a LG G5 to use until I see what Pixel and possibly the v20 can do.
* and if any bugs pop up *cough*
This is a lesson to stop with all the impulse buying we do when we get a new phone lol
Ironically my Gear VR arrived in the mail today and I can't use it.

Your sense of entitlement is not the same as being entitled.
You chose to buy the accessories. They were optional and if you did not buy them from Samsung, it is ridiculous to expect to get refunded for them.
I am €100 down myself and the device never even got to be released here. Its my fault for buying accessories in preparation for the Note 7. But I would not 'expect' Samsung to somehow refund me for them because it will never be released now.

Not arguing with you as we all are in the same boat but hardly calling it impulse buying. My phone is expected to last for than a month so I buy accessories to go with that. Samsung owes their Note 7 owners more than a sorry your loss - here's $25.
How many cases did you purchase? Having one or two is understandable, but if you have dozens then perhaps there is a bigger problem lol
I did get my $25 credit (actually $50 as I have two Note 7s)
Maybe I have the problem....... :silly:

I thought you would get that only if you switched to another Samsung phone, like the S7 or S7E?

Anyways, let's see... 2 wireless chargers, 4 high end leather cases (like Spigen and some other brands), 3 Samsung OEM cases (LED, S-View clear and S-View kickstand), 2 screen protectors (originally 3 but the previous recall only gave me back 2) and 2 extra USB-C cables. I am unsure what the total is, but easily over 300 bucks... that's lost, I cannot imagine Samsung or AT&T refunding me any of that. I do believe they should, at the very least the Note 7-specific items (so the cases and screen protectors) but, yeah, let's get real... "you didn't buy it with us, so too bad"... and the third party vendors will be crazy to allow returns if you're outside the window, I'm sure they have enough loss from this as well. I wont be getting the 25 bucks either (or in my case, 50 since it's two phones in my care) since I wont go to the S7 or Edge.

I contacted Amazon via chat this morning and they allowed me to return all Note 7 associated accessories purchased from late July to now for a full refund. This included screen protectors, cases, cables, selfie stick, game pad, gear vr accessories, and last but not least a car mount. Most items were doubled since I have 2 Note 7s that will be reluctantly returned very soon.
Best buy is also allowing the return of all accessories purchased too.
The only thing I will not be able to get reimbursed for are the various Slickwraps also purchased.
How could case companies sue Samsung? If i personally decided to start manufacturing something for a product hoping to piggy back off another companjes product then that company stops making the product, on what grounds do i have to sue? Unless those companies are directly licensed by samsunf to manufacture cases for them, then all they are doing being opportunists and capitalizing off Samsung ... I highly doubt these companies pay samsung royalties to mold these phones and then build a company off their devices,.so again why would samsung be liable? And why should Samsung pay you for your 3rd party purchases?
I myself have about 30 cases for my Note 7. 2 of which are Official cases, I'm positive ill eat the 3rd party cases, and I HOPE samsung will refund me the LED and Keyboard case price, but that's even questionable. This is the chance you take I guess.

Nice! Guess I'll be starting a chat soon. I just calculated my covers alone cost almost 200 USD, so it'll be worth sending them back if I can't use them anymore.
