UPDATED W/PIX ROCK texture series Leather Case cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1*

Well I just noticed my case was sitting on my porch. Da! :silly:
After opening it up I am pleasantly pleased.
The case is very slim. Picture 2 iPad smart covers with the tablet sandwiched in between.
The material is nice. Can't really explain what it is accept if you mated the iPad smart cover with some faux leather.
It feels great in my hand and looks good. I really like the slim design.
It is held in nicely with the four corner hooks.. Yes the pen is covered up with oneof the hooks, but the hook easily comes off and you have easy access to the pen.
The other 3 hooks hold the tablet tightly but the pen corner hook is not as tight allowing the access.
Both the typing angle and the up right angle are stable and I don't feel like it will topple over as I pushed on it.
Ports , buttons are all accessible and you can charge while the case is on and closed.
The case has the elastic band on its backside which you pull over the front to hold it closed.
I got the gray color which compliments the tablet nicely. Very professional looking.
I ordered it on the 29th-took 10 days.
Do I recommend it. Yes.
Would I buy it again? Yes.
I will update with pictures later.

Yeah, I bought one of these also in grey, but it hasn't arrived. Should come this week.
I like the thinness of the case.
However, I also got a Noreve case, as I think the top of the tablet is better protected.
That was my only critizism of the ROCK. There didn't seem a lot of protection on the side edges and the top of the case for the device.
What's your thoughts on this?

I like the noreve case. But more than double the cost than the rock. Yikes.
It has enough protection for me to feel comfortable throwing it in my bag or brief case. I was looking for something slim at a good price that did not cover the bezzle. I figure there will be alot of cases coming out soon.

Yeah, I don't like to have my bezel covered either.

Looks pretty sweet I'm waiting for mine to get here thanks for the pics :thumbup:

i just got mine too brown color

Mine just arrived. Nice quality and feel. Fits well. Sturdier than I thought it would be in upright orientation. A little heavy.

Just got mine yesterday! I love this cover, very sturdy in any orientation. Quality of material is great the only thing is that it smells funny lol.

The only reason I try to avoid rubber band cases are because once they snap, your case is useless.
Would the band break? (is it secure?)

I have had this case for a week now and my band still seems secure. I use this case alot in everyday use
without the band so even if the band snapped which i doubt it will- it would still work.

Is it just the pictures or does the dark grey look like a very light grey?

I would say some where in between but more leaning towards the darker. Pix make it look lighter.

I've got the grey one from the local store.It's not a light grey.It's more like a graphite color.
The green one is a light green, kinda like ocean green.
The brown one is also a light brown.
The case is well-maded ,beautiful and thin but I think I will have to sell it because it's difficult to take the pen out.

All I had to do was gently flex the tab outward and it will fix this, than put the tablet back in and the tab will now be easier to open and the tablet is still held securely.

I would say the grey case is 50% black. Print out a 50% tint to get the idea (assuming your printer is correctly calibrated )

Hello, I love this case, but I have a Nexus 10, which is actually similar to the Note.
Someone would have the chance to try the case in a Nexus 10?

Silver or Black ?!?!??!

Had a tough time deciding. Silver looks super nice with the silver band, and will make me feel a bit better about replacing my silver Rolex. Silver with the leather band is kind of meh though. Black looks nice with the leather band, looks doable with the black metal band but not quite classy for a suit IMO, it would be fine but not have that slight edge of classiness.
In the end I ordered the silver one. Hopefully the metal bands won't be delayed too long. What did everyone else order?

Haha, don't think I didn't consider buying 2 of them. In fact if I like it I will do EXACTLY that and swap them out as I like. They are cheap enough where buying a couple of them isn't a big deal.

Got silver as well.

Silver, with a black metal strap. When the metal straps ship... eventually. At least that's what I ordered and what my plan is.
Sent from TabPRO

Took me a while to decide, but I went with the silver bezel because it offers more contrast than the black on black. Not planning to get the metal strap.

Black looks sick.

I was all about the black version but Best Buy seems to only be carrying silver, at least in my area. I grabbed a silver and there's no way i'm going back. I think it's gorgeous and distinctive.

ill be getting the silver
1- looks more shinny and classy
2- it will not drive me bat-shet crazy like the black would once the first scratch on the black finish occurs.

Silver for sure. I wish it came with a brown leather band... I already have a black sports watch (suunto core) so I needed/wanted something I can wear that is more formal looking.

Silver + Suede Gray looks boss!

I went with black ordered from BB. It's expected this week. Not sure at this point if I'll change the band or not.
I plan to use it at work (Plumber) and also for casual to a full suit.
Hopefully it works out. But I may also end up with the R watch when it's released.

Would like to see a "nicer" band option.

Being as the SmartWatch 3 is kinda modular, what are the chances a "nicer" wrist strap will eventually be available?
Would be nice to use the rubber strap for running/ working out and other more outdoors environments and be able to slip it into a more elegant leather (my preference) or metal strap option. Any news on a possible Sony or third party option like this?

I would like this too,

I've heard some rumours on some tech websites about a metal strap coming, but any concrete details are scarce.
I don't get it really as sony would be onto a real winner here if they just made some premium straps that we could buy and swap out according to our needs. The main criticism of the sw3 is that it's unattractive. I think that's mainly to do with the functional nature of the strap.

My SW3 wont arrive until Monday, so I've yet to see or handle it in person and don't know how it exactly slips into the strap. Don't know if it would be an issue to slip it into a strap that isn't at least partially rubber? What do you guys that actually have one think?
Either way, I ended up winning a Asus ZenWatch on ebay that will be my more dressy option. I really like the look of the ZenWatch, I personally prefer it over the Moto 360 or LG G watch R.
I nice looking leather/metal band option would give the Smartwatch 3 some real flexibility though. I'll keep looking to see if it happens.

Looks like the Smartwatch 3 holder will be the answer from Sony for a way to use your preferred style band. Mine arrived today just in time to hear the news. Still it not as nice as I would hope.

That holder is plastic or metal?

looks plastic, that why I'm not so excited. Still doesn't look very premium. Wish it was black metal or SS.
I haven't seen anything stating the watch pops out of the new metal model. Would be nice if you could just buy the metal band.
Here are a few additional pics I found:

Thanks guys.
So I am gonna buy the metal watch.

[Q] Can I put a metal band on

Hi guys,
Im fairly happy with my moto 360, I have the silver one with a leather stock band.
Altough I like the metal band more..
So, I have a simple question.
Can i put a metal band on, without cracking the back of the moto 360?
If so, wich one?
Thanks
ALSO : Is the stock leather band water proof? So for example, I take a shower or bath, it wont screw up the band?

Try the official steel band that Motorola has released for our watch. The official metal band has plastic sleeves that insert into the holes that prevent the cracking of the back.. You can also try the pebble steel band. I used the pebble steel band before I got the official metal band and I have no cracking on the back, but ur luck might vary.

Yeah, I did try the pebble steel band. It cracked the whole back.. Luckily for me I got a replacement !
Also, is the stock leather band water proof? So I can take a shower or bath with it?
Thanks

No, the leather is not waterproof. It stains and absorbs moisture. I had to dye my band a dark color to remove the staining from water and sweat.

Alright thanks
I think i have to replace it later this year. My band is already begon to recolor.. *sad face*
And you can sea the sweat on the inside of the band ..

I personally have fitted a Pebble Steel band to my watch, there are other bands available on amazon with various styles.
I would like to get the official band but its not for sale in my country.
You may need to buy a tool to help you take off the leather band as I found this a bit fiddly.
When you look to buy a new watch band, make sure that there is a notch cut out at the top of the strap. There are other threads that mention this.

From what I have seen, the design of the Pebble Steel band puts pressure on the back of the watch - Which causes it to crack.
The official Moto 360 band has a special link design and spacer to negate this, I'm worried that this will happen to my watch and I am tempted to put the leather strap back on .
Although I've ordered a cheap strap from eBay that mimics the official design.

Ive had pebble band on my 360 since decembre ....no crack here ....

The band will stain. Also it absorbs water so ends up getting smelly.

Best Milanese Huawei Watch Band Hands Down!

I originally purchased the Huawei Watch with black leather as I prefer leather bands to metal. All I ever really knew for metal watch bands was the normal steel links, which to me are heavy and rip the hairs out of my wrist. Not exactly something I would like to wear all day long. I have been curious about the Milanese style bands since I seen them advertised by Apple for the Apple Watch. Anyways, I started browsing Amazon to see what was on offer for the Huawei Watch. There are two styles as far as I can see. Milanese bands with a "clamp" style latch and a Milanese band that loops through with a magnetic "latch". I definitely was more attracted to the magnetic style band so I figured I would order it up and give it a go. The only thing I was worried about was the magnet being too weak and coming loose throughout the day, which is not the case at all. It also comes with the quick release style pins, so no tools are needed.
Needless to say, I love it! It makes the Huawei Watch look very sharp and unique in my opinion. It is very comfortable and provides a perfect fit due to the way it "latches". I am pretty sure it would provide a perfect fit for any wrist. It fits the watch so well that it appears as if it were made by the watch manufacture itself. Ever since I have swapped the leather band for the Milanese, I have had quite a few different people ask me about it and wondering "what kind of watch is that?". Also, if you compare it to the other Milanese Bands on Amazon, this one "fits" better. The band itself is slightly wider than the part that attaches to the watch / the part the pin goes through. This is how the original Huawei Watch bands are as well.
They are available in stainless steel, black, and rose gold. The stainless steel matches the standard Huawei Watch perfectly! The part that attaches to the lugs is a "brushed" finish like the sides of the Huawei Watch and not a glossy finish like the face. I actually prefer this, as it will not scratch nearly as easy. I am sure the black would match the black just fine as well. They were $17.99 when I purchased, but they are now $23.99. Still, worth every penny! I guess you could always go pay $129.99 + tax for the Huawei official Milanese band, which has an inferior clasping mechanism in my opinion.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0178KWW3C?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00

Very cool. I've been interested in this style since I first saw the Apple version. I've looked online but all the ones I've found were using clips to latch. The magnetic band is very cool. I ordered one to give it a shot.
I would love to see some actual pictures of it on your wrist.

Can you post some pictures of the band on your watch?

Thanks for sharing! I have been searching some 2 months ago and could not find a magnetic loop band back then. I immediately ordered this band for HuaweI Watch and also for Apple iWatch and Gear S2 Classic... (Yesoo sells for all those watches!!)

I have a similar band by Hoco...black melanese mesh with magnetic clasp....couldn't recommend it enough! https://plus.google.com/111656357014042389917/posts/ePHuhxVeRpg - photo

I just received this very same band last week and love it! After purchasing a very similar 3rd party band for my wife's Apple watch, I thought this would be a great option for the Huawei watch and am very pleased. The magnetic clasp allows you to adjust for a near perfect fit on your wrist. This also has quick change pins, so it's very easy to swap back and forth between this and the original Huawei leather band when you want a different look. The only negative I've found so far is that the hair on my wrist gets snagged in the magnetic clasp if it's not aligned to the band perfectly.

Also bought it
I also bought one. The only thing I don't like are that some of the links stick up a little on mine near where the mesh is joined to the solid metal parts (You only notice if you look closely and from the right angle, though), and also the metal is slightly darker than the watch case.
Overall though, I'm pleased, especially considering I paid under $20 for it.

I can confirm. This is definitely the best band for this watch. I was thinking the magnetic band would come off, or the links would be messed up, but everything is perfect. As soon as I put it on I got a lot of complements about my watch. Too bad nobody know what a Huawei Watch is around where I live. They always give me a blank stare like I just spoke some foreign language.

I have both the clasp variant mesh band and this magnetic variant mesh band. The magnet is nice and easy to use, and it's very strong too, but the quality of the mesh is much higher on the clasp mesh band. Slightly thicker and feels sturdier, plus it's pretty much a 90% exact stock mesh band replica.

Sorry, I didn't even think to post pics. I will post some later today.

I have the hoco milances magnetic clasp band in stainless steel and I also really like it. My only complaint is that the magnetic clasp slips when I am doing any kind of physical work. I am a social worker my day but in the weekend I like dyi projects around the house. The watch slipping lose sometime is annoying. But over all the w a huawei watch looks great with this band.

I ordered this and have been using it for a few days.
The Magnetic band does come loose over time. I've had to tighten it a few times throughout the day.
I think I want to exchange mine because the magnetic clasp piece doesn't seem to be connected to the band very well. It isn't aligned properly and looks like 1 side is coming out. It isn't loose, but there is a brown (rust?) line that I can see. It is barely noticeable but I think it makes it look cheap.

Which watch face is that please?

I bought this one as well and really hated it. My review is on Amazon if anyone cares to read it (Cory S). I suppose I might had rated it better if I wasn't comparing it directly against the OEM mesh band...but probably not being they lied about the material it is made out of.

Nah looks the same shade. Just the shadows playing tricks on you.
I've been wearing this band for about a week. I have to adjust it a few times a day but it feels good. I haven't had any compliments on it either. The magnets get a little crazy taking it off. The band kinda all sticks to itself. I am getting faster at getting off and on one handed.
The thinness of the band really makes the Huawei looks super thick, hence why I liked my thick metal band. I also think it looks more feminine (IMO).

Thanks for this. Got the black one and loving it.

I've purchsed the clasp variant you mention here. The mesh is fine, as you write. Otherwise I consider the band pretty much useless, as taking on the watch is a project for a minute or more. Ok, I might not be the handiest guy, but the problems are:
- very tight clasp, the band barely goes through
- very awkward clasp system itself, very hard to use when watch is on the wrist (typical use case, isn't it?).
I can hardly use the claps even off-wrist. From what I can tell from the photos, original Huawei OEM band uses the same system, so it's possibly cheapishly implemented here.
I got the item "packed" in a soft plastic envelope, due to what (probably) it has a very ugly dent on the part which connects to the watch. One of the quick release handles on the hinge fell apart until I got home from work.
tl;dr;
Don't buy this totally noname chinese crap.
