My cases - Shopping in Shenzhen

Living in Shenzhen has some advantages, namely I can buy phone accessories the moment they're available and pretty cheaply too. I said I would post info about these cases a while back but my GF cleaned my apartment and I couldn't find them until today. So here we go:

Just gonna do them in order of the pic from top left.
1: This is a soft flexible plastic. It has a good feel in the hand. The side buttons are easy to get to as they are uncovered but it does seem to be a little close to the mics. It just wraps around the sides so the glass is completely uncovered by this. It also comes off easily, not very secure on the phone. It doesn't feel like it adds much bulk. S-pen is harder to get to with this case.
2: A little thicker than #1. It wraps all the way around the edges and meets the glass. It is much more secure. Feels a little slick in the hand. I think it looks nice on. I don't like the feel of the volume rocker under the case, power button is uncovered. I feel the need to push the button very hard. The feedback from the rocker is reduced. I guess that should be expected It feels thicker mostly because it wraps all the way around the front. If you had this on your phone and put it face down on a table the glass won't touch.
3: Seems to be the same material as #1 but it wraps all the way around like #2. The sides of the back are textured and give good grip. Even though the buttons are covered I like the way they feel under this one. Everything seems good except the S-pen opening is a little small like #1 so it is a little harder to get out.
4: This is the SGP (or a copy) hard case. I found this same one in Hong Kong for like 5x what I paid. It fits very securely. The S-pen is a little harder to get to again. Buttons are uncovered. It wraps around the sides to just meet the glass so if it is face down on a table it will rest on the glass. Though it is smooth it doesn't feel slick.
5: This is a very soft silicon (I'm guessing) case. I like the look and feel of it. It wraps all the way around and covers the very edge of the glass but not any of the display. Buttons are covered yet provide good feel and the S-pen is not difficult to access. Considering this was the cheapest one it's actually pretty nice.
6: Almost identical to #2 but the S-pen opening is smaller so it is more difficult to access. Also both the volume rocker and the power button are covered and I don't like the feel of either. Though the back is smooth it doesn't want to slide around in your hand. Fit is the same as #2, maybe a little more snug.
7: This is a similar material to #1 but feels thinner. It wraps around to the front and is quite snug. Buttons are covered but the case is thinner at that part and the buttons feel good. S-pen is slightly more difficult to remove. It is textured on the sides where it rests against the side of your palm and fingers. However the matte finish on the back is really slippery. It also has holes so you can attach a lanyard.
This is an aluminum case that has small rubber bumpers inside. I'm not sure how much protection it would really offer but I think it looks great. I found two different models and bout this one. I think I will try the other one as well to see if there is a difference. This has holes for a lanyard but they are so small that it is very difficult to use. I bought a metallic back for my Note and it doesn't fit in this case so I had to switch back to the original. On this case the volume rocker and power button are not covered and you must use your fingernail to reach them through the case. I'm not thrilled with that.
I have been surprisingly happy with this case. It doubles as my wallet holding a few essential cards and sometimes a little cash. It does use a magnetic closure and I know some of you don't like that. It doesn't have a notch for the S-pen so you need to slide the phone down a little to get to it. I can still pocket this and I like that it covers the front too.
These are the replacement backs I found today. I bought a purple metallic one. The wood ones were kind of interesting too. I also saw many leather cases and leather flip cases. Unlike the Samsung flip case these are essentially a plastic case glued into a leather cover. There were also some that the phone slides into. I think I'll have time to go back and get pictures before my vacation if anyone is interested.
If I can help you find any accessories or you want any of these covers (I only want to keep the purple ones) PM me.

Nice post there, could you if possible find a keyboard case for the device.

it's been so long it is hard to remember and i only bought one so i didn't get the wholesale price. i believe it was less than $3. I can go back and ask for the quantity price if you'd like.

Hey I just found a note I made about that black case. It was ¥6 or just under $1. In quantities it should be less.

Also my purple metal case had a serious flaw. The hole four the earphones is off and caused a problem with my earphones. I could insert them and it seemed OK but the sound kept cutting out so I knew the connection was bad. I'll post the name of that one layer so you can avoid. I may try to buy the other one if I have some time today.

Hello mate!
I'm going to buy this case
since it's have the solid steel hold of the phone like in your picture
Now for my question...do you think i can put the Gnote in this case with another case on it?
(example:a TPU case on the Gnote and then put it in this cases)
Thanks for your response!!

it will fit if you adjust the side with some force to avoid adding too much pressure on the phone itself. But the top and bottom part could be sticking out.
I just came back form shenzhen. Amazing place, but one thing to be caution tho, a lot of items there are counterfeits even phone accessories. I saw some element case there for ip4 for 50RMB which works perfectly and cost 140USD for US retail. And even the local brand like capdase and the one you linked Kalaideng has counterfeits.
No offense to people who selling it, they are great products even it's counterfeits. To the buyers, what I said it's just FYI, so make your own judgement and pick a legit seller if you care for this sort of things.

@ofear69
It should fit because the tabs can stretch. I accidentally found that out and had to bend them back this morning. I paid RMB60 for that case I think.
Many of the products in shenzhen are copies. I just opened a monopoly game that is an interesting mix of French and English. Some products are the Chinese manufacturers selling under their own brands instead of just doing OEM work.
It's always important to be careful here. I wish I had asked top try that purple metal case first but that's life. Three other case I have more confidence in, the girl selling them has a Note too. They are becoming popular here

Bought a new aluminum case today. it was actually less than the other and though it doesn't have holes for a tether I think I can use the protective back plate hole for the speaker. The coolest feature of this is the protective back plate. It keeps the back panel of your phone from touching when placed on a table, etc. It doesn't work with my metallic cover though.

I ordered one of these last week... looking forward to it. I also ordered one of the metal battery doors to be used with it... do you think they will work together? Does the metal slider have anything to keep it from rubbing against the Note while installed (tape or film)? I'd love to see more pics of it! Thanks!

Seidio Surface case review (w/pics)

Hey fellow sgs3 owners,
I just received my Seidio surface case and I'm here to review it. I chose the blue because it is my favorite color and it looks awesome on white, and no I do not like pebble blue at all lol.
When I first opened the package and took everything out I noticed how sleek the case is. The case is broken up into 2 parts (top, bottom). The inside of both parts has a very nice suede type padding as "shock absorption" (idk if it is suede or mesh or whatever but it feels nice ). To get the case on the phone it is quite simple, you slide the top part of the case thru the top of the phone and the bottom part thru the bottom of the phone until both ends meet in the middle. You don't have to force anything and it fits perfect with no space in between ends and no rattling of the phone. Perfect fit.
The feel of the case reminds me of a stronger and more scratch resistant material than my htc one s. It is definitely scratch proof and feels solid in my hand. Gone is the feeling of holding plastic while I am using my phone. The case covers the entire back, top, and bottom of the phone. It even has a raised bezel around the front side so you can set the phone down on any surface facing down and not worry about the screen getting scratched. The cutouts of the case are perfect. The volume and power cutouts are angled so you can get to them without a hassle. The mic, noise cancelling mic, and charger cutouts are cut to perfection with no crazy thickness that would make it difficult to access.
The camera, flash, and speaker cutouts are nearly perfect too. Seidio went with a nice design that covers the bezel of the camera too so your lens is 100% protected from fall and surfaces. Again this case was cut out to perfection.
The one grip I have about the case is that it's a pain in the pass the a** to take off. I have had the case on for about an hour now and I am still trying to take it off I saw a video on youtube where someone says "it takes a bit of pressure to take off" that's an understatement. I feel like I will need a hammer, a machete, and a crowbar (All obvious exaggerations). But seriously I feel like if I apply anymore pressure getting this thing off I'm going to break something lol. This can also be a good thing. you don't have to worry about the case coming apart on impact if you drop it. Like I said it's solid.
This case doesn't add much bulk to the device. It still feels slim and sexy in my hands. I'm not sure about the size of the case but seidio probably has it on their website.
If you are looking for the best protection you can get while maintaining the sexiness of your device I would highly recommend this case. Just be ready for war when you want to take it off.
-not sure why the pictures lost quality when I uploaded them, sorry-

Update I figured out how to take it apart. It's tricky but once you learn how to its easy. You don't necessarily hold the sides and pressure the middle tab. You have to press down next to the middle tab with a bit of pressure without holding the sides and try sliding off. Again tricky but do it once and you will be able to do it again and again.

I bought this same setup from Best Buy but is wasn't labeled as Seidio on the back. I don't have it in front of me at the moment since I replaced it with a Commuter. The case is nice but to thin for me, I fear dropping it from any height since it is slim.
In regard to taking it off I found that if you put you fingers where case opens for the power and volume button and press down on the back it comes off very easily.

This case works great with the Samsung desktop dock.

That dock looks nice. Have you tested the nfc with the case? I'm waiting on my nfc stickers to come in the mail to test it.

I have the same case, excellent review by the way Good to know it works with the dock. As far as NFC goes, i was able to easily use S-beam which is powered by nfc, so i would assume the stickers would work as well.

I had this case on my HTC inspire and really liked it....had to switch to the defender after breaking my holster clip while climbing in the attic. Sad day lol. It's a solid case I never had problems with it but....my buddy couldn't get hers to stay together had to exchange a couple times.

Thanks for the review. Like someone else said, I have the version of this case that they sell at Best Buy. I love the case and have been using it for my BB, Evo and now my S3. It was the first case, that I looked for when I got my S3. I am looking at getting an Otterbox only because I broke my OG Evo's screen when it dropped (mine you the phone was almost two years old and had been dropped before), I just dont want that to happen to my S3.
Thanks also for telling us that it fits in the dock from Samsung. Does the one that you posted pictures with also charge the battery (i know it charges the phone but not sure if it charges a second battery as well). I bought the dock from Sprint that allows you to charge a second battery (doesnt charge the phone at all, only the battery). I can tell you that with that case, it does not fit on that dock (it barely fits in landscape mode but you can clearly see that its not meant to have that type of case).
Thanks again for the review.

I have the same exact case with the holster... and I must say my friend... your review is quite correct in all aspects... and I will second that it is indeed a very sexy addition to my SGS3
Sent from my SGH-T999 using xda app-developers app

I too will co-sign this brand of cases. I have one on my Epic 4G, my girl's Epic 4G, and my EVO 3D. The case and holster combo available from Best Buy is decently priced ($30-$40) and they protect the phone well while adding minimal thickness and weight. I know my Surface Case has saved my EVO 3D from quite a few nicks and scratches.

You're welcome guys.
I've been rocking the case since this post and still have no complaints. This has been a nice investment for me. I no longer fear of putting my phone down on my work desk either face up or down and if my boss comes I I don't mind throwing the phone in my desk either. Win win!

I have some questions about this case hopefully you guys can help me with.
Can anyone comment on how slippery this case is and compare it to the slipperyness of a naked S3?
For those of you with the holster, does it hold the phone and surface securely?
Thanks everyone.

I feel that it adds a little more grip to the phone, at least i think it does. I found the phone to be too slippery when naked.
And yes it does hold it securely

Without the case my galaxy would slide across my wooden desk. The same desk you see in the last picture I posted. With the case it no longer slides. It barely moves when I try to push it across so yes it does add some grip.
Hope this helps

This is a pretty good case. I did a review on the convert combo case over at banetech.WordPress.com check it out if you want to see video action for the case. The convert combo case includes the surface case as the set and has the option of adding more protection that ends up looking something like the Otterbox Commuter Case but seems more protected like the Defender series.
But yeah I was struggling a lot with getting the surface case off. I ended up taking a thin blade to the middle to wedge the case apart. After that time though it wasn't as hard to get off. But that assures the case will not come apart if dropped.

I have the same surface case in black, below are my observations:
1) If you are using a screen protector (I use bestskinsever.com) beware, the case fits so snugly it rips the screen protector off as you slide it on.
There is a way around this:
First, let the screen protector set for a while before slipping on the case, a day or two.
Second, I removed the suede material, its very thin as it is, but this helped me fit the phone perfectly as I used the full body kit skin film on the front and back of the phone. The suede material is so thin, I highly doubt it offers any impact protection, I think its there to prevent the back of the seidio case rubbing and scratching the back plastic cover, but if you use a full body skin it doesn't matter.
2) It is a ***** to get the case open the first few times, but after a while it does get easier to open, I guess it needs to be broken in a bit, but that doesn't mean it rattles or anything, it still very snug.
3) This is a very good case, I really like it. It is minimal, covers the phone well (including the bezel on the screen) and has great grip.
4) I have had it for about 2 weeks now and the finish is staying on and hasn't started to peel off, which was a concern of mine.
5) It also hasn't scratched so far and is very easy to clean.
6) Overall I recommend it, but jut beware if you are using screen protectors, follow what I did and you should be fine either way.
Hope it helps!

Thanks for those tips. I'm currently still debating getting a screen protector. I have an issue with how screen protectors look and feel to me. I've been carrying around a microfiber cloth with me and it's been keeping my screen crystal clean. I know sooner or later a hair scratch will come so I have to decide what to do fast. At least I know I can make it fit.

Almost "real" Defender and Survivor cases for Note2

You guys know me in the forum for posting a lot of reviews with pictures, all from original manufacturers. I'm fascinated with N2 accessories, especially cases It seems that we have plenty of slim and every day uses cases out there. But when it comes to a rugged case (non ebay), everybody turns to Defender as a staple of ruggedness. I had one too a few months back, used it for a couple of days, exchanged it for another one, called Otterbox support - all ended up being a common problem related to their plastic built in screen protector not sitting flush with a screen of the phone, thus ruining the whole touch experience, almost making it feel like a resistive touch screen. But anyway, we had plenty of discussion about this subject, don't want to start it all over again. I was also impressed with Griffin Survivor case for S3, but they never made it for Note 2. Survivor is even more rugged than Defender, and actually has full screen protection including covering of every single port.
So, once I found on-line someone is selling "copy" of Defender and Survivor for Note 2 - I was intrigued to see how it will stack up to the real cases. The results - I was actually very impressed. I don't want to go into details of case review/design since it's not necessary. I had real Defender before, and quite familiar with its construction and material feel. Knock off part is a carbon copy of it. It even weights the same. I was worried at first the inner plastic shell will be a cheap brittle plastic and outer rubber shell will be "sticky" and cheap. It's actually high quality plastic and rubber feels exactly the same. I do have to note that plastic screen protector part sits perfectly on top of the screen, no sensitivity problems even with me using iSmooth screen protector, and no marks from s-pen. It was thinner than original Otterbox, and I was even able to push a corner of the screen protector out, but then I press on it with a finger and it went back (the glue part holding it together is actually some sticky stuff that is not hard). You'll be the judge how it looks from all the pictures I took.
With Survivor, I can only judge quality of material based on a comparison with my Survivor case for my kids iPod Touch. Feels identical, and high quality. Again, plastic screen protector had some issues because it looks like it has two layers with inner one was coming loose. [EDIT] - it was due to inner protective layer which I had to remove. Screen protector is good!!! [/EDIT] - its a very impressive and functioning rugged case with superior protection. Some of the port plugs have a very thin attachment string of rubber, and I wasn't careful when removing a belt clip so micro-usb port got ripped out, but it fits very snuggly inside of the port and still functional.
The bottom line, those are not perfect, and I can't comment on longevity of their use. But based on the details of design copy and how it feels, not to mention the price - these are VERY IMPRESSIVE!!!
So, here are the pictures for your enjoyment. Again, please keep in mind, these are NOT REAL Otterbox and Griffin cases, but rather "copy", where in case of Survivor it's a copy of the case which doesn't even exist yet!

It's a "copy" because Defender is not original Otterbox and Survivor is not original Griffin. It's a same as if you would go to China town in NYC and buy $50 Rolex watch. Except in this case the quality is VERY close to original...
To clarify, these are REAL cases that look, feel, and function like original (except for plastic screen protectors)... If you go to Griffin website, they do not even offer Survivor case for Note 2.

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app

I also would like to know where did you buy them (send me a pm in case you don't want to post the store here please).
My Note 2 screen got broke yesterday ( the Protective Cover doesn't protect a sh*t) and althoguh I already repaired it I don't want to go through the same situation again so I'm looking for some really good cases.

does the survivor fit in the belt clip face in?

Vectron, the inner layer definitely needs to be removed, it's only to protect the plastic during packaging, same as a lot of products.
Do it, now, and your quality of life will improve immensely. This messy nylon doesn't belong there.
With your permission, to keep the discussion flowing, here's my review of the "Survivor" knockoff from the other thread:
Bottom line: Far from having any elegance in shape or feel, this big plastic/rubber contraption protects your phone really well.
It took me some moments of reflection to align myself with reality - it is what it is, a cheap Chinese knockoff model that doesn't even exist yet by the original company. Isn't it nuts?
I do believe Vectron's report that the original Survivor and this one are of the same quality. Even so, it's not good enough IMHO, I wouldn't have been happy to pay full price for it. For the price I did pay, I am happy.
The rubber feels toyish and cheap (I still stand by it!), not up to the standard of the device it covers. I'm just being sincere here, on any scale - it's kinda crappy.
Very sticky though, doesn't slide (face up or down), but can be a real struggle to pocket. The w/h dimensions aren't too crazy, but overall thickness is sick.
With only the inner hard plastic, the phone is already protected well. Then the outer rubber and front screen cover lock in. After careful setup everything sits well and secure.
All the cutouts (S-pen, earphones, USB, camera) have retractable rubber seals that fit good, even though the cut lines are a bit shaggy.
The seals' flexible parts are kinda flimsy, already my (and Vectron's) USB cover has separated. Still holds with pressure, but can get lost. It's just the way they manufacture it, a replacement will be the same. The other covers are held sturdier it seems. The cam cover is the next suspect though, the thin thread easily loses it's grip on the inner layer.
Buttons work great, access is quick and sensitive.
The screen sits tight and works perfectly. Doesn't feel as nice as glass (expected), or other quality plastics.
After less than a week's normal use, it's already foggy and scratched at some areas. No amount of cleaning or polishing can helps that. Still usable, and the sensitivity is as good as new. It's ugly though, and will become uglier no doubt. It's just a thin, cheap piece of plastic film, the same products' boxes windows are made from.
I'm looking REAL HARD at glass replacements now.
^^^ If someone has any insight onto this, please share!
Belt clip is very usable, lockable. Can't mount phone safely face in. UPDATE: Well, I broke it! Just with normal use, at the swivel axis. Another epoxy job waiting...
Tried a small workout with it attached to my pants backside. Bulky as expected, but it didn't fall, and felt pretty secure.
One or two drops of sweat landed on the center of the screen, quickly accumulated to the screen's sides, from there penetrating the inside, wetting the phone with my toxic acidity. I had to take the screen off and clean it later. It is not waterproof. It is not 100% dust proof either. I'm handy with adhesives and stuff so I'll figure something out it this gets worse.
If anyone is considering purchasing this case, I recommend it if:
1. You really need a full enclosure type of protective case.
2. You'd rather not pay $60 for it.
3. You order other stuff from them as well to make it worthwhile with shipment from China.
4. You are willing to forget it is a sleek, luxury, super high tech device from the future you're holding. :cyclops:

Funny you mentioned, cause I got those too, the earbud version of it I can't compare it to original beats to judge A/B, but the one I got had a lot of bass and not much treble. Felt a little muddy in lows and not clear in highs. Perhaps that's how original beats sound? But if you think about it, you can duplicate the look (package looks authentic, down to magnetic closure of the box), but you can't duplicate the driver circuit of those headphones. But typically cheap earbuds have exaggerated high frequencies and hardly any bass. These one have the opposite, which could be the signature of original beats?
Also, it came with in-line push button which actually pauses the audio you are playing, either mp3 or YT video. I haven't tried it with calling, but I wonder if its pauses/mutes the audio when you receive a call? Also, the headphone cable is neatly flat.

Whats the easiest way to pay. There check out is very confusing

That's how beats sound, they don't value treble at ALL. I had a pair until i warranty exchanged them 3 times with a store and they gave me store credit to get some Bose.

It's a "copy" because Defender is not original Otterbox and Survivor is not original Griffin. It's a same as if you would go to China town in NYC and buy $50 Rolex watch. Except in this case the quality is VERY close to original...
To clarify, these are REAL cases that look, feel, and function like original (except for plastic screen protectors)... If you go to Griffin website, they do not even offer Survivor case for Note 2.

Maybe they are just unbranded ones. A lot of these companies just buy pre designed/made cases and stamp their logo on them then call them their original.

Coming soon... But honestly, THIS is what I'm talking about.
rooCASE Dual-View Folio Case Cover
Rating: 1/10​​
Click below to show the review.​
This is an interesting take on the Folio we know and love. On the inside is a faux-leather case for placing your tablet inside, with a cloth backing, and on the outside is a harder case with an almost-carpet-feeling material. The two pieces can be completely separated, and reattaching is as simple as lining up the cloth with the velcro strip on the right side of the outer piece. This folio cover doubles as both a portrait and a landscape stand. One good thing I can say about this cloth material, is that when the cover is folded completely around, the sliding is minimal. But that doesn't matter, since you can't hold it. But we'll get to that later.
My first impression? Well, when I thought the SUPCASE was as bad as it gets, and I was wrong. Really, really, really wrong. In fact, I felt bad and raised its score after trying this case.
Right off the bat, this thing reeks. It smells like really intense new car - which is weird, considering the faux-leather material is the same as my SUPCASE. I'm actually a little nauseated as I'm writing this and it's a foot away from me, maybe two.
The material is very thick, both on the outside and on the inside of the case. The means that the folio aspect of the case is compromised, much WORSE than the SUPCASE, where the case actually becomes THREE times as thick as your naked tablet with the cover folded back. This time, we're looking at almost five times the thickness, which is downright unacceptable. I love the slimness of my Nexus 7, so this was extremely disappointing. During my test run, I found myself just taking the tablet out completely multiple times after getting frustrated with trying to hold it. This is thicker than an XBOX 360 controller. What in the actual hell were they thinking? Safety? Yeah, I probably won't be breaking my Nexus 7 by dropping it if it's so thick I don't want to use it at all. Oh, also, the buttons lay so deep into the material that they're extra hard to press, as if we weren't all having enough trouble with that already. And the velcro that holds your tablet into the case is significantly weaker than the velcro that holds the case to the cover. *deep inhale*
Anyway, enough rambling about build quality. Let's go into detail with the dual view/stand aspect of this tablet - it's pretty simple. Attach the case to the velcro strip of the cover. If you're going for the landscape, the camera hole WILL give you trouble on the outside cover - and a lot of it. Even after realigning it about three times, I can still see the outside cover in my photos. It's extremely extremely strict, and quite frankly drives me nuts. Portrait stand-mode will give you no such problems - but you're not gonna be carrying around your tablet like that.
When standing the tablet up in portrait, the folio cover's first groove won't hold your tablet up well, you'll have to use the second or third. It looks like it wouldn't be sturdy at all, but it does a pretty good job once you align it up correctly. There's no guidelines for this here, so you'll have to find out via the ol' trial and error (ugh).
Landscape mode, camera hole aside, works fantastically. It's actually one of the sturdiest holds in the market as long as you're not attacking the top of the screen. It looks pretty darn fancy as well, haha.
But unfortunately, with the downright ridiculous thickness of this case, strict camera holes, cheap-carpet-esque material, and intrusive faux-leather material on the front of the tablet, I can't say I can recommend this case unless you are never going to be actually touching your Nexus 7, or you don't mind inconveniently ripping it out of the case every time you leave home. I mean, look at this!
The rooCASE Dual-View Folio Case Cover is NOT recommended. It's bad! REALLY bad!
SUPCASE Slim Fit Folio Leather Case w/ Stylus
Rating: 3/10​​
Click below to show the review.​
I got my Supcase Slim Fit Folio Leather Case today and it's honestly the clunkiest thing I've ever used. I actually hate it. That might sound harsh, but I honestly do.
First of all, the material is awful. I mean, I only spent like 10 dollars on the thing, so I wasn't expecting any miracles, but this is thick, awkwardly/ugly textured, it obscures so much of the nice slate design of the Nexus with its obtrusive material that I am a little offended. It doesn't even feel nice to touch, which is the worst part. It's like rubbing your fingers on a cheap faux alligator skin purse. Yuck. Adding insult to injury - opening the case for the first time, you're greeted with a note telling you that since the material is so thick, you'll have to take the Nexus 7 out of the case to charge it using Qi. Fantastic.
Throwing the Nexus 7 in is a little odd, but the fit is very tight. You pull a velcro strip out, slide the N7 in, then fold the velcro around the side and tuck it underneath. It's very secure, but it's also very secure: taking the N7 in and out is the bane of my existence.
Not only that - it's designed poorly. Honestly, how am I supposed to hold this thing when I don't want it sitting on a flat surface? It's a fold-over case with a magnetic cover (which I appreciate, but we'll get to that later), but unlike any other Folio cover I've tried... there's only a magnet on the front of the cover. If I fold it all of the way back, not only does it double the thickness of the Nexus to an uncomfortable size (slim fit my ass), but it also doesn't stay there. It slides around all sorts of ways when I hold it with my left hand and use my right hand to be productive on my N7. Wtf? They added a little elastic strap which I'm assuming is there for you to stick your left hand in to hold your N7 - which I've tried, and using it makes it even more awkward. Since I'm not holding the actual cover to the back of the part that holds the tablet, the front part of the case flops around in my hands and makes using it annoying. And since I'm willing to work with these guys, I tried not folding the cover back - and again... how am I supposed to hold this thing? It's impossible unless you lay the tablet flat on your left palm and and touch the screen with your right hand. Who uses their tablet like that? Nobody. This is a design disaster.
And you know, of course the stylus pen holder is to the right of the screen, making the placement of your right hand there extremely uncomfortable - daresay more uncomfortable than your left hand which doesn't know what it's doing but at least isn't being stabbed by the hook of the stylus. Sometimes I'm gonna want to touch the screen and not be holding the stylus in my hand. I'm tempted to rip the whole thing off and throw the stylus away.
The stand isn't terrible, but it's kind of a mess. What you need to do, is to fold the folio cover back and around, then make a triangle out of it (you'll feel where the bend is when you're taking the cover off). You then tuck the top of that triangle into a weird handle-resembling thing in the back of the part that houses the tablet. You can't even do this with one hand, you have to reach into the stiff faux-alligator-skin handle, pull it up, and shove the cover in there. It kind of makes you wonder if we were intended to even use this.
Regardless - the fit is decent and the handle is powerful... Much more powerful than the cover itself, which curves enough at the bottom of this triangle that the tablet will tip over when you try to pull down the status bar in landscape. Speaking of trying to pull the task bar down in landscape... you can't really do that. The leather material is covering all of the 'side' (top in landscape) bezel and is so thick that you're going to have a great time trying to get your fingers into the little crevice where the status bar is. Insult to an already bad case. The fact that there is no portrait option is pretty bad, too.
There are a couple of things that I can praise about this case, though. Namely, security and the magnet. The magnet is sturdy and holds the case closed very well. It's hard for me to accidentally knock it off, which is great, and I've seen many cases fail here. And the security is pretty awesome too. This stiff faux-leather case is thick enough and sticks out far enough from my N7's brittle edges and screen that I'm sure dropping it would do absolutely nothing to it.
And yeah. That's about it!
The SUPCASE Slim Fit Folio Leather Case is NOT recommended. It's bad! REALLY bad!
More reviews will come as I get the rest of my cases

It's a folio case...they are all made very similar and compared to many it is a slim case. I gave $5 for mine including shipping and for the price it's a decent case. It's made as well as the RooCase I have for the original Nexus and it cost $20.

OK if this is a bad case I can't wait to get a good one.... I honestly do like the case OK and I think it covers well for protection, but I understand your issues with the "floppyness" and such
linux ftw

Update with a rooCASE Dual-View Folio Case Cover review. I just threw it away. Literally. It's in my trash can.

If I had another case, I'd throw mine out to. This thing sucks.
It is uncomfortable to hold with the top folded back, no I unvelcro it from the stand.

I have literally no idea what they were thinking when they designed it.

They have been making this design for years. I have one for my Asus TF300, original Nexus 7 and now the new Nexus. They all work fine and have held up well. I was surprised and pleased to get the Nexus 7 case for $2.99.....I gave $30 each for the other two.

because I get to enjoy the extra padding and coverage and no longer baby it. everyone's use is different. personally I want to drop mine toss it around and put it in a pack with water bottles, sharp gouging objects, even drop it face first on gravel if I should happen to. my supcase has been working great for me, but I still share your gripes about the flap.

I feel you on the protection, but this isn't even like all-around thickness, this is while the flap is behind the tablet. I find the thickness of the case's material okay, but there's no reason for the flap to be so thick when you fold it back. That's my problem, really.

can't wait till you get more cases to compare! thank you. I have a rubbery kayscase but I haven't used it yet in favor of the sup. I will probably have to take a hairdryer to it as its shape is slightly malformed even when I put it on the n7

Review of Seidio OBEX case for Note 3 - ULTIMATE protection!!! w/lots of pics!!!

This is a Review of Seidio OBEX Combo case for Note 3. http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung-galaxy-note-3-obex-case-holster-black-p/bd2-hwssgt3-br.htm
Let me first start by saying HOW jealous I am this case was only developed in time for Note 3. It was always my dream to have an ULTIMATE protection case for my Note 2, but that dream came true for Note 3 users (and of course S3, S4, and probably S5 as well). The challenge of being able to have a fully certified IP68 case wasn't easy for Note phablet due to s-pen and other port covers, but here it is - finally resolved! I don't want to sound like a fanboy, but it's really not a hype. Nothing currently available for Note 3 will come even close to be 100% Waterproof (continuous submersion), Dust proof, Impact proof, Snow proof, Exceeding MIL-STD-810F standard, and IP68 Water and Dust tight certified - all that in a slim design. Here is more about this wonder case.
Arrived in a nice packaging, once you take a tour of all of it's features listed outside of the box, you quickly realize that Seidio guys thought of every possible doomsday scenario. It can also give you a wrongful impression of some bulky over-sized brick to accommodate all that, though a sneak peak through the box display shows a slim profile of black and red design. Out of the box, the case by itself feels super lightweight at only 75g. It has an excellent grip and doesn't feel in your hand wider than a typical slim case. I have to note that my review is based on using a display model of Note 3, but it still gives you a very accurate assessment of the fitment. OBEX will completely seal your Note 3 from outside world. Every port, every button, every opening, and the display will be covered. At least right out of the box, it was a bit of a challenge to separate top and bottom of the case, but this is actually a good thing. You want to be sure that no matter what happens to this case, if you drop it or compress it - it will not come apart and the internal seal will keep any moisture from getting inside of it. As a matter of fact, it exceed MIL STD certification of up to 6ft drop. The material used in this case is high quality combination of PC and Thermoplastic Silicon Vulcanizate to protect it from any direct impact. The built in screen protect has 4H hardness rating and sealed to protect from any moisture. Internally, you have waterproof membranes to protect microphone and speakers without reduction of sound quality. Also, they used a special anti-reflection glass for camera lens protection so it doesn't interfere with a picture quality. Sealed power, volume up/down, and home buttons have a very nice tactile response. For a more commonly used S-pen and headphone jack covers, Seidio used an easier to access hard rubber flap, while for other top/bottom ports it was partitioned with a hard plastic flap with rubber stoppers. You can still get to your usb charging port, but you need to use your nail and apply a bit of force.
Though I wasn't able to verify this because I only have a display model, Seidio guarantees in it's product description that case will not interfere with radio signals, bluetooth, or NFC - it's all plastic, so shouldn't be a problem. I also have a feeling that wireless charging shouldn't be a problem either. As an additional accessory, it also comes with a waterproof headphone adapter which screws right into the port. But in general, the case is fully functional for everyday use without any limitations of it's functionality. True, it's 2-piece design is not very easy to take apart and you will need to use both hands for that, but that's the whole intent of ultimate protection. In addition to the case, you also get a heavy duty holster with a belt clip, a typical design from their CONVERT series. OBEX can go into that holster face in and face out, and the spring loaded latch has a sliding lock to keep it secure. With face out, you can actually lean your Note 2 in landscape so you can use the holster/clip as a kickstand. The belt clip has a heavy duty durable spring, and it's actually removable to work with Seidio Quest Mounting system to attach to their car mount, bike mount, as well as armband mount.
Overall, if you are looking for a maximum protection of your Note 3, to withstand any and every element of nature and still look cool while doing that - there is nothing else out there that can do a better job than Seidio OBEX case. Don't let the price scare you away, just visit Amazon where you can find this case at a much better deal. To come up with this level of protection for Note 3 was really a challenge that neither Defender nor LifeProof would even touch, but Seidio OBEX nailed it with flying colors!!! Highly recommend this one!!!

Yeah I sent mine back as well. Not worth the 80 bucks

crappy case the sound is awful and call is a pain can't hear us with big echos redpepper case is better ! excep for the 3 buttons if you have a tepered glass protector

Add another one who has weary rubber (and partially torn) from going in and out of pocket only. Sound for talking on the phone with the case isn't that great either.
Great protection while it lasts, but far too easy to make scratches and tears on the exterior of the case.
Good job on the review though TC.

I think you'll have a hard time finding someone who is happy with it. I got mine when they first came out and returned it the same day. Proximity sensor wouldn't work while in the case, screen protector was already scratched and there was a glue type residue on the inside of the protector in spots. I'm more than happy with the RedPepper case for less than half the price. I tested it by leaving it in 3 feet of water for 20 minutes and it was still dry inside.

My suggestion is wait for the obex to go cheaper it most definitely isn't worth no near 80 wait till its like 50 or 60 because in my experience I also had it for a week and it started showing wear and rubber stretched from the top and the bottom. red pepper on the other hand I went biking with it and my phone fell so many times yet it handles it
