Seidio Innocase Active X - got mine today

I had this case for my incredible and absolutely loved the look, feel and protection. So last week i pre-ordered the thunderbolt active x case from seidioonline. One thing i really like about this case is the feel of the power and volume buttons. Without a case its very hard to tell if you're pressing them. The case is very easy to put on, rubber case first then the plastic shell to hold it together. It also fits (barely) in my verizon droid x leather pouch i use at work which is a big plus. The kickstand is a little harder to open but not to bad. The only bad thing is its a little pricey at $37 shipped but i had to have this case.

I had this on my incredible and loved it, great protection and looks sweet. Looking forward to getting it for my TB. I think they make great products as far as durability and style. If you want indestructible then otterbox is your friend.

I had the active for my Evo as well, with the same breaking tab problem. I'll wait for otterbox, and hopefully it won't take them as long to get out some product as it did with the evo.

i can see the ends breaking if u take the case off the phone a lot. the plastic shell on this one is a bit thinner than the incredible active shell.

I have it on mine right now and its actually really nice. If you push on the sides to raise the tab when taking it on and off you wont break the tabs.
I dropped my TB about 3 feet today onto rugged sidewalk and not a nick on the case. Worth the few bucks!
sent via r00t3d TB - thx jcase!

Thanks for the pics and impressions. I'm still not sure about this case yet though. Might wait it out a little longer. I desperately want rid of this case I got from VZW though.

I'm waiting for this...not to expensive but did the job VERY VERY well for my evo.....http://www.wirelessground.com/htc-evo-4g-aluminum-case.html

I'm a big fan of the case-mate tough, it's a similar style to this case with a bit more texture on the back piece for grip, plus I feel like the build quality is a little higher, here's hoping they make one for the TB!

I got mine from bestbuy for 50. Same case just different brand.

I ordered this case , just waiting to get it. Just curious, did they include a screen protector with it?

Think i may just get the cheapo $5 case on amazon with the hopes that otterbox releases their case soon. I have had much better luck with otterbox than seidio plus they seem to be a bit thinner and mold to the device more snugly.

I actually prefer the Tough Case over my Otterbox Commuter. The Tough Case's texture is perfect. The OB is slippery.
Case Mate isn't too responsive though. Maybe if we create a petition?

I've gotten one of these. I got the Active X combo with the clip. It works pretty well, and the material feels really nice in my hand. Overall, I'd say it's protection I don't mind.

Not with the Active X. Their "rugged combo" version does, though.

Zenus 'Prestige' Carbon Series Stand / Case

Well, I just got this case today. It comes in black or white. I got the black one. I'd post pictures but my grandkids are here and I won't be able to do it until tomorrow.
My mini-review:
Pros:
Fit and Finish is beautiful.
Very light. Case and Tablet weighs 1lb 12.6ozs
Very thin.
(Added) The edges of the screen are not covered. Like the Samsung case there are 3 clips to hold the TAB. I don't like the way most ofthe other cases cover the border of the screen with "PU" or leather.
Cons:
TOO EXPENSIVE. It may be "worth" $85 + shipping for it's quality but for what it is it's just too much money
TOO EXPENSIVE
"Stand" is only a single position and the way it works is you have to unsnap the bottom half of the tablet from it's perfectly fitting snap on cover and rest it on the "latch" that holds locks the case closed. I have to believe that eventually the snaps will lose their tension and not tightly hold the Tablet. May be wrong there but it seems to be.
Must be opened to access USB connection.
TOO EXPENSIVE
I have six months to return it so I'm not worried.

I looked at that case but since it was seemingly 2x as thick and made from "synthetic leather" (either plastic or "PU" not sure which) I chose the other. I probably would prefer the Samsung over that one since the Samsung is very thin and lite. Also don't like the "hand strap" since it reminds me of a ping-pong paddle.
However if the quality is just as good it would be a good alternate choice for those who don't mind the thicker vinyl case.

Cut the price in half and I'll buy.

I sent it back for a refund. Too expensive and required "unsnapping" the bottom 2 clips holding the TAB to "stand" it.
Well made and excellent fit and VERY light .... but not worth it to me.

Aw, that's kinda upsetting. It sure looked like a nice case, and for some reason I'm a sucker for carbon fiber styling, but it's sad to hear about those downsides.
If nothing else, thanks for being a guinea pig on that! It was hard enough to justify that kind of money on a simple case even if it was perfect. The USB slot issue is the killer, really.

How did you go about sending it back for a refund. I'm about to do the same with mine. My initial impressions were that it was a good case but after having it a couple days I'm ready to return it and get something cheaper that is probably a better quality.

I purchased through Amazon. I went into my Amazon account and sent the "seller" a message, They have a 14 day return policy. You can also contact them through their website but if you purchased from Amazon you should email through there as Amazon keeps records of the contacts and you are protected.

i was thinking about getting this case but real expensive ... waiting on your pics ...
has anyone found any other carbon fiber cases?

Then you will be waiting for a long time because as I stated in the previous message I sent it back.
BTW, it was NOT carbon fiber, it's a vinyl fabric.

I think the case is very slick - nice and thin.
No sure how much protection it offers though.

Probably enough for light impact / against scratches etc. and probably none for 50cm+ drops.
I like that case! Looks really good and professional. Especially if you know the hassle with the Dell Streak cases.

The neoprene pouch looks good, but I really want a pouch with a belt clip.
Looking around I found a universal necklace pouch which may or may not fit the Note, but I'm not going to wear a necklace.

I asked a question as to whether this would actually fit the note. By the looks of it they have just taken the images from cases for other phones, as there is no way the note would fit in it. I'm not sure how custom it is, but I haven't received a response to my question, so I don't think I'll be buying from them until there is confirmation it will actually fit.
Edit: Seems I did get a response, but I only got an email for the first message (a more trivial question). To quote their response:
The pictures are from other model phone. But we can make it to fit Samsung Galaxy Note perfectly.
I believe we can hold them to this, so I might get it.

Here in Greece i had a "leather" pouch custom sewn for my Note at a cost of 20 euros.
It fits nicely and was modded on that of the HTC HD2.

what happens when we drop the note ? will a leather pouch save it from the fall?
such expensive devices need real protection. if only otterbox released a case.

Good point, a pouch won't protect against fall. It will, however, allow the device to be mounted to a belt. That being said, I am still undecided how to go about it. I will probably wait until I have it to make the decision.

I have had a string of devices with PDair vertical sliding cases.
I find them to be the most practical, while offering very good protection.
Am waiting for an order for a case for the Note.
They did have some online when I ordered but have pulled the webpage.
I used to buy cases from Beyza but they seem to have gone over to the dark side and have completely dropped HTC phone cases from their inventory.
Maybe they will make a case for the Note.

Did a quick ebay search and found a 4 results from Germany for Galaxy Note screen protectors by 3M.... never bought from them, but seller ratings look good.

And, is a screenprotector relevant??? If someone could tell me if it's still needed to protect the screen when it is made of gorilla glass... thnx in advanced.

I totally agree with you on that. And because of the kind of glass you dont need a screenprotector anyway . I'll wait till the white note comes and buy the case from piel frama because my hd2 still looks new after 2 years.

EDIT: oops, it says: " Inner polycarbonate layer includes a built-in screen protector and inner foam liner "
Would this built-in screen protector affect functionality? Is it removable at all?

Wow!!! Rather expensive, isn't it?

Defender is not bad, but cost too much. My Reiko case is much better and cheaper.

Sent from my GT-N7000 using xda premium

Was I the only one who read its availability as "This item is not currently available"? I think I'm going to go with Seidio.

It shouldn't mess with sensitivity. I can't promise that since the case isn't out yet, but I've had otterboxes on every phone I've had and I always put a regular screen protector on underneath the otterbox anyway and I've never had a problem. I took the plastic off of one of my old otterboxes and laid it down on top of the screen of my Note and tried using the pen and it was super smooth just as if there were no screen protector on at all. I have a zagg shield on it now and I can barely use the pen for anything so I can't wait to get my otterbox.

Yeah. It does. I had it for my iPhone, and it was very well protected. But boy, was the outer layer a dust magnet!

Got my Otterbox Commuter today. I like it a lot, so far. Not as bulky as the Kraken appears to be. S-pen is easily accessible and uncovered. Flaps over headphone and usb ports have winged tabs that secure them under the polycarb outer case so they don't flap freely. Raised power and volume buttons are easily accessible, but require some pressure to activate. For me, this is good as I was always pocket increasing/decreasing the volume. I got it for $29.99 with free overnight shipping and the price went up $10 a few hours later.

Looking for a case for my case

Hi,
I have a Moko Slimline case and I like it a lot. It's perfect to hold but I really do doubt if I dropped it that the case would provide a lot of protection for my tablet. What I am looking for is a neoprene zip closed case ( or any other type of bag / envelope style case) that I can put my tablet / with Moko case in to protect it while I travel.
The cases I find are either too big and the tablet moves around too much or too small so fit both Nexus 7 and Moko case.
To avoid buying a whole bunch of different cases I was wondering if anyone would know of a case that I could use.
Thanks
