Hi guys. I posted this in General this morning, but I think this is a better place... if a mod sees this please move/delete the post in General.
Check this: http://www.decalgirl.com. I know this place from some time already when I bought them for my iPod.
They make vinyl adhesive covers for almost every device in the world, and some of them look really cool, specially the rugged ones. The material (rugged) has very good quality and they send it by regular mail including a key to download the desktop wallpaper that fits EXACTLY with the design, making the customization very good.
Its very easy to place as the adhesive material which is made of can be placed and removed as many times as you need, and it will keep your device away from dirt and scratches. You can even have more than one and switch them when you want, as they're easy to remove and they can be placed again even if several days/weeks have passed.
Yesterday I went to check if they had covers for the Archos 70IT, and found they only have for the 10.1, the 4.3 and the old archos as the 7HT, that's slightly different from 70IT, so they wouldn't fit.
I posted a "Device Suggestion" asking them if they would support the Archos 70IT in a near future, and this is their reply:
We do not have that device currently. What I can do though is have it added to our list of devices to discuss with our development team.
If the device is really being marketed or we get a great response from consumers there may be a great chance we will do it.
We release about 4-5 devices per month so are always looking for devices to bring in.

Maybe if enough of us ask them to make it, they will do... I would love to get covers for the A70IT cause they make it look really cool and customized. Will anyone lend a hand and help me asking them to make it?
Cheers
They seem expensive at $20. For press/apply vinyl, I wouldn't expect to pay more than $5. There are folio cases available in the $20 range, after all.

I agree they're expensive.. but anyway, folio cases and this kind of vinyl skins are not the same animal...
Guess you're paying the design and giving your device a "unique" or "cool" looking more than protecting it...

Skinomi has skins that come with screen protectors. They have clear, carbon fiber, and natural wood skins. Unfortunately the carbon fiber and the wood skins for the 70 still show out of stock when you try and order them. I plan on getting the dark wood skin once they are available. 24.95 for the 70 skin and you can usually find a coupon to use with the purchase with a quick Google search. They also have a lifetime replacement guarantee.
Skinomi is finally are showing the Carbon Fiber and Natural Wood skins for the 70s as in stock. Just ordered the Dark Wood skin. They are $24.95, used the coupon code "get25" to save 25% and it was free shipping. All together cost $18.71.

Hey there,
does anyone know a good alternative to the horrible original Galaxy Note Flipcover? Mayone one made of real leather?
I really hope there's any good version of this great case type!
Hope for your numerous answers!

I don't know if it's good or not, but I've found something like this https://www.youtube.com/watch?gl=UG&feature=related&hl=en-GB&v=LGBDcRWykc0 and this http://www.mytrendyphone.com/shop/samsung-galaxy-n7000-69177p.html
At least those give a bit of protection to the back of the phone and corners.

Hi,
thanks for your answers!
Yes, these flip covers look good, but the original one has a must have feature for me: It replaces the battery cover so it doesn't make the phone thicker and keeps its great look and feel.
I suppose there's no battery cover replacement flip cover in good quality anywhere out there?
Cheers,

OK, I don't take responsibility for this as I still don't recommend those type of cases (less material, less protection ) but on the picture it looks like what you are looking for. It says it's aluminum so should be better it terms of durability, but I don't know if it won't reduce your signal strength a bit.

It doesn't look like PU leather, more like some kind of carbon/textile. That seems to be awesome!
Now I just have to think about if I take this one or the one suggested in the kick stand thread. Great!
Cheers,
Aryana
P.S.: I don't like big cases like silicone bumpers or bags or something like this. I just trust in my ability to handle my phone without letting it fall to the ground. That worked with other phones for years, so I take the risk.

Yup, the one from Anymode looks really nice. But you will probably have to wait a few days or maybe weeks until it's available outside Korea (or you can try buy it from their website, I don't speak Korean so I can't help you with that). And it won't be cheap as I suppose it won't be less than $50-$60 without shipping.
UPDATE:
Here you go http://www.exportprive.com/en/galax...stand-folio-case-series-crocodile-black-.html
(I don't if the the seller is trustworthy, it's for you to decide)
But this case actually makes the phone a few millimeters thicker, so you should think again what's your priority. High quality looks or phone slimness.
Oh no, that's too expensive for me. Not bad at all, so my decission was easy!
I just ordered the Flipcover that you suggested for 20$. I hope I will receive it in May and give feedback after I got it!

Yes there is. Check out Amazon uk. Samsung have a lizard leather flip case. Much stronger than original flip. I have had it for approaching a month now and no sign of wear. At it is thicker than original, it takes a little bit more pressing down on the back to secure it. But once it is on, it does the job of protection, looks stylish and professional. I have photos of it in the 'post your case' thread if u r interested
Holy moly, in my opinion that "lizard"-style leather is ugly!
Thanks for your answer, everybody who loves this leather style will love this case too! But that's nothing for my sense of style.
If they produced this flipcase with "normal smooth" leather...
Anyways, I'm waiting for my blue flip case from Hongkong which is already on its way to me. Hopefully that's good quality, than it's perfect for me.

Wow, it just arrived. Unbelievable fast, I thought I would be very lucky if I get it next Friday.
My first thoughts are very positive: It fits perfect and feeld high quality.
The Flip gives a good protection, it's very strong. The battery cover is a bit thicker than the original one, so it protects the camera lense but doesn't make the phone bulky.
Two little disadvantages: It smells quite bad, but I believe in a week the stink is gone. And the back is very smooth, even a bit slippery. The plastic texture of the original had more grip, but it the aluminium looks simply great. So that's ok.
I'm very happy with it!

Congrats on your case!
I am not sure if the seller is trust worthy either, but does anyone know if the
Anymode Case Galaxy Note Stand Folio Case Series from ExportPrive would work on the SGH-I717 or is it just for the International Note?
Edit:
Also Found it on Amzon for $85
Edit 2:
Ater some google-fu on the case and exportprive, I went ahead and ordered it. Apparently the case is made for the Japanese model of the Galaxy Note, so it does have the NFC antenna on the battery cover of the case (I have the SGH-i717) . The only foreseeable downfall I see is that it doesn't snap on properly, that would hurt. But for $63 including shipping, I say it is worth the risk considering I fell in love with the anymode case at&t sells, but thought it was to pricey for a brick&motor store to sell. Now I will get a kick stand plus earpiece cut out! Will update when I receive it.
"Genuine" Samsung flip cover
Hello Friends.
I intend on purchasing a genuine Samsung flip cover (white) for my Galaxy Note (ceramic white).
I had a look on Amazon UK and for illustrative purpose I have posted the link below.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Fli...D4TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338410191&sr=8-1
The product is Samsung Flip Cover for Galaxy Note - Blue by Samsung. Considering it has by Samsung displayed on the link, is it safe to presume it is a genuine Samsung product?
I ask the above because the Samsung UK website does not have any cases/covers listed under the Accessories category.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/mobile-phones/accessories
@Aryana90 do you mind posting some pics of the cover on your phone? Is it a replacement back cover, like the "genuine" cover?
The genuine cover (in YLNdroid's post) is a lovely fit, but probably isn't great for long term use, a lot of people complain that it wears out quickly. But it only adds about 1.5mm to the phone, so that's very attractive.
V
Yes, it is a replacement back cover. I think it adds not more to the phone than the original cover, but seems to be better quality. And looks amazing in blue!
I try to make some pictures this evening and will post it here.

So is it inadvisable to purchase the "genuine" flip cover advertised on the Amazon UK link I mentioned in my previous post?

Aryana90, is the said cover you purchased as good as the "genuine" one? Does it have Galaxy Note inscribed on the front and Samsung inscribed on the rear?
If so, where can I get one in white colour? I have a ceramic white Galaxy Note.
I apologise for sounding a bit too paranoid perhaps! With all due respect, I do not want a sub-standard case/cover for my Galaxy Note.
If you like watching movies, I think this case will be of perfect use to you. It comes in two colours - White , Black

Amazon have it in stock while mobilefun has it as pre-order
Finally, Amazon ships worldwide while Mobilefun ships only to UK and EU

i don't know what your planing on doing, but the flip cover works pretty great if you don't set it on a really slick surface
I really like this case probably helps I got it for free but you can use a coin E.G 50pence piece and stand it on there pretty cool feature.

Greetings! I've been a lurker on these forums for a while now. So here's my first post.
Toast makes gorgeous wooden covers that cover all of the phone (other companies just cover the back). They recently made one for the Z3: toastmade.com/products/xperia-z3.html
I Just love the look, how it provides more protection than simple skins, and adds little bulk. So, I sent an email and received this:
"Thank you for your interest in Toasting the Z3 Compact. If there’s demand, we will Toast it. I’ve got you down on the request list, so you’ll be notified of any updates. FYI, we are Toasting the Z3v next week, so hopefully the Compact will follow suit."
I would have expected a Z3c before a Z3V. Anyways, Shoot them an email on their website and be vocal that there is a demand for this. I currently use a Ringke Fusion and a DevilCase, but overtime I started to get annoyed with the added bulk. Let them know! Thanks

Yeah, I've seen those. The big difference with toast are the wooden bumpers. That's what sets it apart from the other ones. It would be a missed opportunity for them if they don't make one for the Z3 compact. Anyways, thanks for sending an email and I hope others do as well!

I already have an aluminum bumper from Devilcase, so it's less of a difference to me, but I see your point.

god theyre so sexy!
Alright, here are a few more. I am not the best photographer, nor am I the best at keeping my hardware in tip top shape. The scratches on the screen have been there for a while.
I absolutely love that the red border shows through. I think this is a feature that Toast has made unique to the Z3 Compact, and I can honestly say that it makes all the difference in the world to me. I bought a red phone because I wanted a unique and colorful phone, this keeps it unique and colorful...but with wood on it. The toast cut out it something I specifically asked for and I am very pleased with the result.

It's like a middle ground between a case and a vinyl. Its either real wood veneer or bamboo. The parts are stuck on with some adhesive that leaves no residue.
"We laser cut our covers from real wood veneers and top-grain leather paired with a high quality 3M adhesive that adheres directly to your device. This allows you to add protection, grip and gorgeousness to your gadget while retaining its sleek profile (the average thickness of our covers is .9 mm: that’s 1/32nd of an inch!)."

To each his own.
My last phone broke in a TPU case with, what I thought was, good protection. I watched another guy's phone break in an otterbox, and iPhones bend in a number of cases. I came to the conclusion that the best protection for my devices was a sacrificial glass screen protector, back skin, and either a bumper or bumper skin. My reason for this combo is that the back and sides only really need scratch protection and the front can be cracked even with a case that provides a lip. The Z3C definitely benefits from anything that provides better traction on the back, too.
I know you didn't ask for the explanation, but I thought it would be worth mentioning for anyone who might be curious.
