Official Flip Cover questions please

Can anyone upload some pics of it on please.
Does it fit perfect?
How's quality, does it scuff easily?
Does it fold back on itself so you can use the phone like this?
Does it stay shut ok, is there anything to keep it closed? Im a bit worried it might end up getting folded the wrong way so doesn't stay closed properly? Would be great to have an iPad like smart cover...
I'm about to order a white S3, but am going to get the blue flip case as I like the contrast between the two, anyone have this combo?

I have the official white flip case and it looks really good. You remove the original back off the galaxy siii and clip in the flip case instead. A perfect fit too. Very professional looks good to me. The top flip part does fold behind back of phone easily! seems designed to fold that way too!
When flip cover is closed over screen it doesnt fasten in place but it does stay in place well. Only bought phone and flip case yesterday..

I ordered a flip case with my vzw preorder, but I'm going to get the wireless charger when it releases and that requires a unique back cover that I suppose will then make the flip cover useless to me....

There's a review here:

Also be aware that, according to reviews on Amazon.de, you cannot see the LED through the flip cover.

NO. WAY!!!
/sarcasm

I got mines for free from P4U they gave me a 32gb card and an original case i was shocked i thought it would be a cheap case lol..
It fits perfect the interior for the front is a soft cloth like the ones you get when you buy a screen protector..
The outside is hard plastic feels awesome to the touch.. It does cover the LED so you will miss your notifications if you do happen to miss it. But at in the dark you can see it..
Oh and the back bit adds a bit of weight to it so your phone feels alot more heavier not too heavy though makes it feel perfect.. Back plate isn't flexible either it's solid..
I've not had any scuffs at all in the last 4 days i have been using it so no it doesn't get ruined easily I guess..
Other then that it's a brilliant case..

Has anyone purchased the blue version of the flip case? How does the shade of "chrome blue" compare to the "pebble blue" of the original back?

My idea is to get the white S3 and buy the blue flip cover, I think they look good together

The problem with the official flip case is that it actual replacing the original back cover and it is made from the same material just like the original back cover.
The display is protected but the back side...well...unprotected...you can still scratch the back.
After several weeks or months the back cover will still be damaged and it will look ugly with all that scratches...and then what? buy another flip cover?
Has anyone tried to combined the official flip case with another case or bumper or whatsoever to protect the back cover?
With this for example:
http://www.incipio.com/Samsung-Gala...-S-III-feather-Ultralight-Hard-Shell-Case.asp

I would like to see a drop test with the flip cover vs no flip cover and see if it actually protects the screen, otherwise it doesn't worth anything.

Beside the fact that it does not protect the back cover.
I have also some doubts regarding this issue.
The thing is, there is lock or snap on mechanism on the flip case.
Meaning, the flip can be opened very easily...I dunno if this is still reliable if it falls like...not opening during fall and leave the screen unprotected.
Note:
Providing some degree of protection during fall, it is impossible to protect it to 100%.

Hantec just emailed me they have stock of the white flip in the UK, £22.79

No offense guys, but this is simply one of the worst ideas I have ever seen for a phone accessory. Why in the hell would anyone want to add more steps to accessing their phones? I can understand it with a tablet, where you're never in huge hurry to start working on something; but on a phone?!?! Flip-phones are extinct for a reason guys.

This. I have a flip-cover for my OG Galaxy Tab, but I've never been able to understand why you'd want one on a phone either.
Flip covers provide very little protection against drops; make it more inconvenient to instantly access your phone, and have an annoying floppy flap on the back when open during calls.
The only pros I can see is that it looks "adult", and that some flip covers fold to act as a landscape stand.

So you are also against leather pouches/sleeves?

It provides screen protection for when the phone is in a pocket.
No, the flip cover doesn't protect the back - it's not meant to since it is a replacement back. I.e. the mere fact that you can easily replace the back with a new one means that rather than put an additional cover on there you could just treat the back as a cover and replace it if it gets scratched.

Exactly.
I don't like cases in general. The back cover is a replacement as you say, the front flap is to protect the screen in pocket. This is exactly what I want. I don't want a bumper, back case that adds bulk to the phone. It's slim and light for a reason.
My other option is a pouch, so I can again protect in pocket, but use the phone naked

I have another solution (works for me): Put your keys and your change in your *other* pocket, then you don't need any pocket screen protection. As an added bonus, the screen emerges from your pocket with all the fingerprints mostly wiped off.

[Q] [Help] Slimmest, Lightest case for Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G.

Hey Guys,
I'm trying search for some sort of a folio case of sorts for the Galaxy Tab 10.1. It should be slim and should be able to keep the tablet slightly lifted to allow easier typing and also allow it to stand vertically. I have a folio case but lately it causes the screen to create the famous oil slick issue.
the only other decent looking case I found was this
Does anyone have any experience with the above or any other suggestions.
Thanks

I've got a smart cover on my galaxytab and love it. Barely affects the thickness and has the two positions you're looking for. Mine isn't pink though.=D

That's the one I got (only in grey/white). Good solid fit with no movement once it's locked in. It should do everything you need it to. The only issue I have with it is that you need to open fold back the cover to charge. Thinking about getting the craft knife out to cut a slot myself...
Edit: does anyone know if this case works with the Samsung desktop dock?? The cover needs folding back to reveal the charging port so wondering if that makes it too 'thick'...

Does the magnet actually keep the cover on? I thought I read somewhere that there's no metal for it to cling to.

do you have a suggestion to what the "other" style could be?

The magnet doesn't hold the cover shut. It only holds the triangularily shaped folded cover in position to act as a stand for the tablet. As already said, there is no magnetic material inside the tab to use magnets to keep cases shut.

I personally have the PU Leather Case Smart cover. It works just fine but damn is it heavy . Where I can normally watch a movie while holding the tablet, I cannot while using the smart cover, it just makes it to heavy.

That sounds great but I am still looking for something that is light cause I'm always on the go and don't want the extra bulk. I am currently eyeing a Galaxy Tab 10.1 2 Book cover, it seems to fit our tabs perfectly. I just wonder if that is heavy or what.

Official flip case with official mesh case combined?

I really like the official flip case, apart from..
1. No magnetic close on the flap
2. Gives little protection from drops
To address my second concern I am thinking of using the official vent/mesh case in conjunction with the official flip case.
Has anyone tried this combination yet? If so does it work/look ok?
Alternatively can anyone recommend an alternative book flip case. Ideally I would like a magnetic close, genuine leather, some drop protection & stylish looks. I know I'm asking a lot but I don't want to settle for anything less.
Thanks for reading, I look forward to all feedback.
Oliver
(EDIT) had a reply saying the official case combination don't work together. Alternative suggestions very welcome now. I forgot to say I have a white s3 and I'm looking for a matching white case that opens like a book (like the official one but with more protection).
Sent from my phone using a forum app

i too am interested in using mesh case with official flip cover.
hope someone could try it.
(i recommend you zenus case or sgp cases or hoco cases as an alternative cover).

Nope, doesn't fit. Flip case is too thick and mesh won't clip on.

Leather case for 3T

anyone of you using leather case for 3T? and any recommended?thx!

The leather flip case from Oneplus is quite good except the fact that rubbing your phone in pocket or somewhere else it will give you this result.
And i have this case for 2 months

Yup. It say in description of the product. And it feels like a genuine one also. In fact i think that only those edges are covered with sort of rubber/latex that's why the problem.

If you need some real top class leather case, then just blindly go with this guy. The website is http://godbolegear.in/ and is based out of Mumbhai and will ship all over india. He uses some of the worlds best leather ( from wickett and craig tannery which is 150 years old) and uses vegetable tanning. For oneplus 3T it will look very premium and case is expensive than all others available which are not genuine leather stuff.

I am about to order the phone and I was thinking also about that case. My main concern is about not being magnetic. I had a similar case for my s7 edge and I dropped it once and the case just opened freely leaving the screen vulnerable. Does this happen with this case too?

Hi just wondering is there any rainbow or watermark effect on the back where the case touches the back glass? Does the case have a micro dot pattern inside?

Got the incipio case, no rainbow effect on the back, there is a dot pattern to prevent that, also cut outs are very precise. I tried a couple of transparent flexible cases, this is the best one so far...

However I do feel like you might have to squeeze a little harder than normal, but then again that's what being able to adjust the sensitivity is for
