Original Pouch v Orignal flip cover

Hi, as the title suggests I have both. Now I don't really know which one to keep. The pouch feels like it has better protect5ion if it drops and the swen edges may offer some bounce if you know what I mean. However the flip case feels better but feels kind of bare :-\ . It seems to offer no protection at all. Which one of these have you gone for or would go for if you had the option.
Hi,
i preferred to choose the flip for several reasons.
- Makes me feel the Gnote is a real note book.
- Just easier to use because you do not need to pull it out of the pouch to see the time of the day or check mail. Just more handy.
- If i need protection i'll buy or make a pouch while keeping the flip cover.
Anyway, it's more a personal choice, choose what's more handy for you.
I have the flip cover, and stick it in a small pouch for my bag (or map pocket of my jacket if I'm out and about) .
the pouch I have opens length ways so the note slides out really easily.
is flip cover really convenient?
Hi,
I wonder if flip cover is really convenient..........
Can u all type or take a snap or capture video comfortably?
I have both too, and only use the pouch for when i'm only going out briefly, and can't be bothered ripping the back panel from the Note and installing the flip case. (Can't leave the case on or it won't fit in it's dock)
I can see it being useful as extra protection too though, if I ever need to put it in a bag, while cycling for example.
I have kept the flip case now. I will begetting the carbon fiber skin as well (I had it on my HD2 as well) and will apply it to the flip case. I find it easier to hold now, i mostly hold it with one hand like in reading a book. As the post above says, I will keep the pouch for when I put it in a bag or need that extra protection. The flip case fits inside the pouch.
thanks for all
but can any one make some photos please??
& from where you bought it??
with big thanks for all of u again
Following the saying that one can not be too careful, is it possible to have the flipcover on and put the Note with the flipcover in the original pouch. :cyclops:
These kind of threads amuse me.
Just use the damn pouches or covers you have and decide for yourself what you like most.

Is there a case like this?

I'm looking for a case with these features. Please help if you've seen a case like this.
- Flip case (covers front and back)
- Front cover has a hole (or transparent) for the notification light
- Thin and lightweight
- Turns into a kickstand
I want a case with these features, I don't care so much about protection, just help for scratches.

Flip case trouble

Hey all, I have an n7000 and have had it a while, the problem is that the flip case is looking a little beat up and a slight tear is forming, I don't really want the flip part on any more but I can't find my original back and currently I lack the funds to buy a new case.
Is there some way of removing the leather flip case and keeping the back? Should I cut the leather flip off or can it be removed from the actual back itself?
Any ideas would be awesome, thanks!

I ve just separated by my hands. But the back cover you got may results slight different from the original due to its side gap from where the leather should be . Not a big issue and barely noticeable. Well it just works for me. Hth !
The original flip case is extremely low quality.
Just tear off the leather and get a case or something. They are pretty cheap.

I bought 8 cases for the N5 so far..Mini Reviews

1. The Spigen Neo Hybid which is cool but too bulky for my liking.
2. The Nillkin Fruit Series Magnetic closing smart flip case which is meh...too thick, don't like the glossy plastic shell and the magnet closes TOO securely making it cumbersome to open.
3. Yesoo Suction Cup closing case Not smart, not cool....it's designed well and I do like the material...but no.
4. Ionic Bella if this were a smart case it'd be my go to case...slim profile decently built...but alas...just a flip case...if you're looking for a light non-cumbersome flip case that you don't care is smart I'd suggest this.
5. Poetic Slimbook Smartcase with magnetic flap A bit bulky but well built...only complaint is the bulk.
6. Nillkin Fashion Flip smart case I REALLLY want to like this case...but can't...at first it seems perfect (except I stupidly got white...do not get white) but the holder is TOO strong...when removing my N5 from the case the wraparound edges almost removed the bottom from my phone...It's a well built case and like the Ionic bella has a low profile...I'd probably use it if I didn't get the white one, I believe it comes in many colors.
7. Deluxe Wallet Leather blah blah blah Avoid...cheaply made...not smart...worthless...though I do like the soft rubber holster...but still...pass on this
8. Mofi Rui Slim This is the case I use most often...claspless leather flip case...feels good in hand...secure...decent product all around. Could be a bit slimmer but it's fine for most use cases IMO.

Good comparison. Sounds like you like the Mofi the most, how do you think it will hold up over time? Specifically the folding areas. Now if only some of these would start punching holes for the notification LED.

Yea don't know why the notification light is blocked on most cases. Odd oversight
no ofence but all your cases sux big time.i din't even know that cover case market share exist anymore.
i think unveil your device to see your notifications 50 times a day is a gynourmos waste of time.
good luck.
Thanks.... my wife wants a flip case for her new N5.... You see, there IS a market for them. If someone wants a flip case, let them get a flip case. If they like it, its all good. Enjoy... and thanks for the info.
She throws her phone in her bag, along with keys, water bottles, all sorts of stuff... it'd be nice to have something covered and not getting pummeled all the time.
An $8 smart case, sounds perfect for what I need out of it.

I have flip cases, rock elegant slim flip, cruzerlite flip and also recently got the Seidio Ledger flip. The ledger is by far the best I have used thus far. I posted a review of it already. Actually I just updated the thread that had info on the case and I edited it to a review of the case.:silly:
Sorry I don't want to hijack the thread, but btt. Thanks for the review of the many cases out there. There are bunches! Just take a look at AliExpress!! LOL Anyway...keep posting!
I just bought the official quick cover and I love it. Aside from the obvious stupid shortcomings (incomplete close and no notification hole. It's slim profile and feel is awesome.

Case with notification led cutout

I'm looking for a flip case with a cutout for notification led, any tips? I like the quick cover, so something in that style would be great. I'm not a fan of too much bulk.

It wouldn't be hard to just punch out a small hole in the case of your liking. Either way it will probably never line up perfectly either. Those cases always shift from side to side.
