Rearthusa Extremely thin case(+Screen Protector) for our Galaxy Note

Ive done business with them in the past with my sgs2. I ordered about 5 different cases and used there matte screen protectors with no issues. I emailed them a month ago to release something for the galaxy note and they came through. Very high quality cases and screen protectors. Will post update once I recieve mine.

That material looks very slippery. Are the sides "grippy?"

I love the headphone jack and micro USB caps to protect it from dust! Might grab a metallic color one!

I want their Steel Bumper series on my Note.

I like to looks of this. Does anyone have this case yet? I know it is silicone but is it more rigid than a regular tpu case?

I ordered it last night from Louisiana. I'll post up a short review when it arrives.

Just ordered mine too, looks great ! thanks for posting

Any one received the case yet?

***there is no tether included with the Rearth Note case even though it says so****
Dear ericshmerick,
Hi,
I'm really sorry for the confusion. Our design made a mistake on the
detail description. However, this Kit does not have a lanyard with the
package. We are still working on an accessories option so that you can
purchase a lanyard separately. I hope this help. If you have any other
questions feel free to let me know.
Regards
Charlie

So in other words, they advertised to include a 0.5 cent part but will instead offer if later for sale even though it's advertised as included.
Keep it classy rearth. No sale for me (and it was in my cart ready to purchase).

wow, that looks amazing.

I received my case last week. Unlike my great experience with sgs2, I received a damaged retail box and a case with buff marks all over it. Was very unhappy but they are sending me a brand new one now. Will post a short review when I receive the new one.
Like the poster above stated it does not come with a lanyard. Screen protector is pretty good though.

Just a few quick pics. Came in the mail today. Overall has a nice fit to it. The case is quite slick(slippery), yet feels okay in the hands because of the lack of lip around the entire face. It does get smudged quickly and it is noticible. It is a soft silicon type but much more rigid once on and the slickness actually helps the feel of the unit gliding in and out of your pocket.
Around the case basically the button areas are cutout and the sides are half covered by this(bumper part) of the case, hence no lip on the sides.
The top and bottom both have a decent lip to allow faceplanting of the Note. And the Stereo Headphone port and Micro Usb both have plugs to keep the dust away, very nice touch.
The screen protector is also better than the 5pk for $4.00 ebay special, as it has the entire face covered with the exception of the ft cam notch where it is blank in the space right above the cam itself.
In the first pic my I4 with Cleave Aluminum Bumper is shown for size along with the Note with Rearth case.

This case is quite nice. I basically echo everything previously said.
It's kind of a pain to get off if you need to change the battery though, but that goes for most hard cases like this I guess. I already have a screen protector on so I'm not touching the one that came with the case yet.

I just got mine yesterday, and I have to say I am EXTREMELY disappointed in my purchase. I paid $28.00 for a case that is sub-par to the hard shell Nillkin I bought for about $10. The case is slick, shiny, easily smudged, and provides absolutely NO protection to the Note. If there was a single good thing I could say about it, it is the fact that it IS thin. It's like having no case at all. At the very least, they could have made it a matte finish. It's worth about $10.
This is about the 3rd or 4th different brand of case I have tried for my Note.
Save your money.

I agree with yeahmon. This case is expensive!!!
Go get a Nillkin ultra slim hard case instead. Only US$9.99 and comes with a screen protector too. Free shipping.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Ult...Faceplate-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3357.html
I bought one and measured it. Only about 11mm thick. Great and nice fitting case with good quality material.
More colours at a slightly higher price at US$12.49.
http://www.obostore.com/Nillkin-Shi...Faceplate-For-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-p-3356.html
US$27.99? I can buy 2 cases and have change left.
There are a lot of nice hard cases in obostore at a really good price. Go take a look guys and gals.

a matte version does exist

I have ordered this case as well but can not yet comment on it's quality, or lack thereof, since it has not yet reached me.
I will certainly comment on that once I have some experience.
They do have a matte finished black case though.
In fact I ordered a matte one, even though I visually prefer the shiny black version (they call it noble black). To avoid exactly the problems you are describing (easily smudged and scratched). As said, I can not comment on this actually being the case and certainly will report back on this.

What case are you comparing it to? The one in ddeath's post?
Compared to that Nillkin case, the Ringke case offers better protection since the bottom has zero protection on the nillkin case. It's not only covered on the Ringke case but the Ringke also has caps for the headphone/usb ports so you don't get lint in them.
Yes, the Nillkin case is cheaper. And I also shouldn't have gotten the shiny case. But from a protection standpoint it's exactly as advertised. I don't understand the dissapointment.
I'll probably use this case as a daily driver and swap it with a thicker, higher protection case for 'heavy days' (trips or whatever).

Disregard this post

I bought their case two weeks ago, and I am reasonably happy with it. I bought the one with "matte black" finish, so it was not slippery. Feels pretty solid in hand, actually.
All the cutouts on the case are very precise. The rubber caps help a lot. But as everyone said, the lanyard was missing, so I emailed their support and they sent me a lanyard in a separate mail very shortly. The lanyard looks exactly like what the photo shows, but I don't know how to attach the lanyard, because the case was so tight, I don't see a hole where I can attach the string. If anyone knows, please enlighten me.
Because the case is so slim, I feel its primary purpose is to prevent scratches on the front, side and back in daily use. But I personally would doubt its shock absorption capability when you drop it.

This case is more for people who like to go naked. It adds no extra bulk to the note. And it will protect it from some small drops. It will protect from the housing getting scratched.
Its not for people who need maximum protection but for people who want something that's barely there.
GALAXY NOTE

I can't decide... (yep another case thread)

I wanted a as slim as possible case and I wanted it to protect all the way around the perimeter of the phone. Here are the choices (in order from first to last), help me decide.
Rearth Ringke Slim - At $28 it's a bit expensive and it doesn't cover the sides. Also looks to be less grippy since it's hard smooth plastic.
BoxWave Blackout - I'm worried it's thicker than a case like the Rearth, but with that said it protects all around and is really cheap at $12. I think the material is more rubber like which sounds more appealing to a gloss hard case. Not many reviews anywhere for this case.
elago G4elago G4 - I'm not sure about this case in general.
Thanks for your input.

Personally I like the Leather style flip cases, The one that doubles up as a wallet.
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BLACK-WAL..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3374db7913
I would never pay more than £10 (delivered) for a case.

in terms of slimness i've basically narrowed it down to two giants.
1. sgp ultra thin
2. casemate barely there.
not sure which ones better but from what i can tell they're pretty much the same, both at a hefty 25 bucks.
anyways, i'm in the same boat as you. XD
not sure which case to get.

I have the rearth and it is very slim, the only down side it is a beeeoootch to take off (i have a dock/charger for the phone) and if you take it on and off a lot it cracks and the part closet to the usb port cover, nothing earth shattering it actually makes it much easier to take the case off - that and the sgp ultra clear and it is almost like having nothing on the phone at all.

I have used diztronic cases for the last year (for my SII and now my N7000). They are very similar to the boxweave case you posted.
http://www.amazon.com/Diztronic-Fle...0386413&sr=8-3&keywords=diztronic+galaxy+note
As you know TPU protects like a silicon case but doesn't stick in your pocket or collect lint and dust due to it not being "sticky" feeling. I recently sold my SII for over $300 after 8 months of daily use because my SII was in perfect condition as a result of being in a diztronic tpu case. No, I never dropped the phone on cement or anything but I dropped my SII on the carpet from 5+ feet and the phone was unchanged when I picked it up. Didn't pop out of case or battery, etc. Because the tpu cases have a 1/8 or so "lip" on the front they also allow the phone to be placed face down on flat surfaces. IMHO and experience, a good tpu case is all you need to fully protect your phone unless you work in construction or somehow expect to drop it on cement.
So, my vote goes to the boxweave or diztronic cases. BTW I got 2 diztronics for $14 from amazon, the black matte and smoke matte. Great deal!

^I'm actually thinking of getting a real cheap TPU case like that I can mod. My ideal case is a TPU Bumper, maybe the Boxwave Black out without the back part but have the vol and power buttons cut out. I guess it's just not feasible so far... ?
Anyway, Thanks for the input so far guys, keep it coming.

first post here,
I have one of these.
search amazon for bumper cases.
I'm not allowed to post urls.
I like it, I have it on right now. What I have is different from what's
in the pictures. No cutouts for the buttons and the other cutouts are not
as big. The covers of the buttons are pretty sensitive, unlike the covers
for the Boxwave type which I got from Hongkong for 2 bucks.
Check amazon out, they have a lot of cases.
I also have the elago Breathe case, I love them I have two.

I ended up taking my chances on this. I guess it's going to be as close as I get. Thanks everyone, I'll let you know how it is when I get it.

Go for the Rearth Ringke Slim , is THE BEST OF ALL !!!

Hi all, I'm in a similar dilemma.
I've got a choice between these two:
https://www.gearzap.com/media/catalog/product/3/4/34484-2.jpg
and
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/HYBRID-SI...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item416682f7b6
I know I should pick the Zenus, but would the inside bit that holds my phone scratch the outer bezel? And since the hybrid one has a silicon case THEN a hard outer shell I figured it would be good too. Any ideas?
Thanks!

I use a an SGP Ultra thin. Comfortable case. Considering the size of the phone the case is great. Merges with the Phone. +1 anytime.

I ordered this one http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/160732471512?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649. It has a stand that works in both axis.

Nice

4 Cases, One Winner

So I just thought I'd share my experience trying out 4 different cases and finally settling on one...
ALL of the cases I tried are good. I'd recommend all of them. They will simply appeal to different people for different reasons.
That said, the first case was the Caseology Vault Series - https://www.amazon.com/Caseology-Pro.../dp/B075RVL499
This was a great case but was way thicker than I was looking for. This one though would offer the most protection for the phone of the 4. I'm just willing to take a greater damage risk to have a slimmer phone so this one had to go back.
The next case was the MNML - https://mnmlcase.com/products/google-pixel-2-xl
This case was the polar opposite of the Caseology one. It was so thin I wasn't quite sure what the point was. I mean it literally is basically just a "skin" that one would use to colorize the phone. I suppose it offers some scratch protection for the back and sides but it certainly would do absolutely nothing should you accidentally drop your device. This one had to go back as well.
The next case was the Spigen Thin Fit - https://www.amazon.com/s/ref=as_li_s...hin+fit+spigen
This is a great case!! I really liked it. It's thin enough to not add any real bulk to the phone but seemed to be just thick enough to offer some minimal damage protection. The design is great too. There were 2 "issues" with this one though. First is that it's quite difficult to remove your phone from this case. This isn't a big deal really since generally one isn't taking their phone out of it's case frequently... but still, I was actually worried I was going to damage my device when I was trying to remove it from the case. Second, it has an open top and bottom design. I didn't feel this was a major issue, but I (personally) just didn't like the aesthetics of it. That said, others have mentioned that this type of design has lead to some damage since the entire phone isn't protected. In the end, while I did like this case a lot, it had to go back.
The final case (and winner) was the Maxboost mSnap - https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B074BGXB69
This case was nearly identical to the Spigen case except that it offered full coverage of the phone. If anything I'd say this one was just the tiniest bit thinner than the Spigen but if it was at all, it'd hardly noticeable. This one also goes on and off of the phone a bit easier. For me (so far) this is the best case in terms of thinness and device protection.
Anyway, fwiw, that's my mini case review.

I have the MNML and mSnap ordered (prior to your post) waiting for delivery. I'll choose if I want front protection or not.
I have the preferred care so for me minimal protection is not really an issue. I want spanning caseless but the photo hump will get damaged if I don't put some kind of case... I also need something to hold my metal plate for magnet car mount.

i can't comment on the mnml case bump... i didn't even look. just knew within seconds of taking the case out of the box that it was thinner than i was looking for (i mean seriously... it's basically just like a skin... which is way cool if that's what you're looking for).
as to the metal plate, the spigen case had a recess specifically for that but to be honest, i've not had any issues with my metal plate in any of the cases i've tried (though, again, i didn't get that far with the mnml case). i just use a piece of masking tape to secure the plate on the inside of the case and then put it on the phone. hasn't ever not worked for me this way... though the thicker the case the less effective the magnetic mounts are. on all of the cases i mentioned, the thickness isn't an issue. even on the thickets one (caseology) the magnetic mount held the phone just fine.

Only difference is that the MNML does protect the bump because of the raised fingerprints not cutout that pushes just enough to protect the lens. A skin is thin everywhere so lens is exposed.

How do you find the material on the maxboost case compared to the Spigen thin fit? I tried the maxboost case on one of my last phones and hated how slippery it was. I didn't believe the reviews that a case could be that slippery, but it really was.
Thanks

Nice review! I have or have had 3 of the cases above (Spigen, Maxboost and MNML). I currently only have the Spigen and MNML and use the MNML as my everyday case. I liked the feel of the Maxboost but returned it due to how hard it was to get my phone out of that thing, so we didnt have the same experience with that. I change cases and with the Maxboost really felt like I was going to scratch or damage my phone pulling it out of that case. Anyway, I'd highly recommend the maxboost if you are using one case and that is it. Just my two cents.

I tried both Spigen thin and rugged. Went with Rugged and like it a bit more.

in my opinion, the feel of the material itself is identical in every way between the spigen and maxboost. as i mentioned before, the maxboost might be the tiniest bit thinner, but it definitely feels the same.

I have the vault

i have a Spigen Thin Fit on my 6P and love it so much, except for the slick back, so i decided to buy the same for the Pixel. the new is a little more grippy, which is good, and it has the cutout for the metal plate, which is great. now i just need Google to ship my damn phone

I have the MNML on my Pixel 2 (waiting my 2XL still), and I don't like MNML because it is too slippery.
And I have Spigen Thin fit on few old Nexuses, which after few years, it has chipped (broken) here and there, not good.
Recently, thinking to get mSnap, but still not convinced with the grip. Probably I will take the bite and order it.
To OP, could you please attach some photos of your phone with mSnap? Does it has bump to protect the camera lens? Good button cutout?
Thanks.

Oh well, I read lots of review from mSnap Amazon page for Pixel 2, lots of mentioned it is too slippery as well

I picked up this case after reading this review. My main case is a Spigen neo hybrid. I like the extra protection for my work week. I use it with a wireless charging adapter as well, so my USB port is always plugged by that.
I switch to the msnap on the weekends while at home and such. Wireless charging adapter is not used with this case. I typically need frequent access to the USB port for flashing and what not. I try not to mess with flashing or modding the phone much during the work week.
The texture feels matte and very nice to hold. It is a little slippery, but not overly so. Definitely not as grippy as the Spigen. It is very thin and almost feels as good as holding the device without a case. Almost! We will see if it gets a little grippier over time with more use.
I can't seem to find the image again, but I saw one showing measurements of the phone with and without the case. It was showing that it does hold the screen and the camera lens a couple hundredths of a millimeter off the table or other flat surface. You can barely tell by looking at the back, it is just a hair thicker than the camera bump. Laying it on a table seems fine in general. Dropping it on uneven surface like pavement or dirt, good luck!
Thanks for the recommendation OP, I do love this case.

I always go back to Diztronic.

I bought 3 cases for my xl 2, and although the other two were nice cases, they weren't diztronic cases. The first one i bought was this ringke case, and it was a pretty solid case, though it was a little slippery and the texture on the back meant my popsocket wouldn't stick to the phone. The second one i bought is this one by a chinese company called x-level, it was a really interesting super thin tpu case, and was nice but didn't have a lip to protect the screen and was a little too thin for my liking(and my popsocket didn't stick to it well either).
After trying these two and them not working out, I did what I always do, I ordered a diztronic case which I received yesterday and it is perfect, just like every one I've had previous(Nexus 6, 6p, xl 1). Diztronic and Cruzerlite were the only companies I trusted with tpu cases and I used to swap between the two throughout the year, and now that Cruzerlite is gone, looks like my first and only choice from now on will be Diztronic, and you know what? I'm perfectly okay with that. Honestly, they are one of the best case manufacturers out there, consistently great products at a great price. The only thing I could complain about is the looks of their cases are a bit bland but I'm just accepting that functionality is more important.

I bought a diztronic case for my Shamu which I still carry on me and the only time it wasn't in the case was just to clean it every once in a while. I'm probably going to buy one for my pixel but just waiting to see if they come out with another variant with more corner protection.

5x to pixel now pixel XL 2..these cases never disappoint...

I swear by Diztronic. Put them on all my phones and recommend to everyone. I've won over a bunch of friends and coworkers who were stuck with crappy, ugly cases.

Yeah, I want to see some photos with the device.
Especially the thinnest side of it.
How is the grippy feeling? good grip?

DO you guys know if popsockets stick to the diztronic cases?

this probably doesn't apply for users of clear cases, but i used to swear by diztronic until i found caseology - much better build, fit, and drop protection while still remaining slim

Diz also collects alot of DUST on the sides.

Bellroy Leather or Google Fabric case?

Both look pretty good. Which are you guys going with?

I have both and I really like the bellroy case. This is the first leather case I've ever had and I've got to say it feels good in the hands. Not a lot if bull either and I like how it covers all the edges instead of the fabric case being open at the Port. This year's fabric case however feels much nicer then the pixel 2 one. I feel the cases both add about the same bulk so either way I think that's okay. The leather one is offers a little more grip thou. If you have a TGSP applied the cases sit flush with that so they both feel great.

Thanks for the info. I'll probably go Bellroy then.

I have both, and like both. I kinda like the fabric one better because it's different. Bellroy might be better protection as it has a slight front lip that is non-existent on the fabric.

One observation I have is that the fabric case feels and looks like a pair of jeans, the leather of course feels and looks like leather. This gives me the feeling of more expensive versus less expensive. Nor sure if this matters or if you'd get the same vibe but it's there for me.

I have both cases as well. I prefer the bellroy as it has a raise lip around the edges to protect the screen. Also to me for some reason the bellroy just fits my hand better and feels just slightly slimmer. The fabric case feels wider and the fabric seems less grippy in my hand.

In my opinion the Google Case is far to expensive, very poor protection due to the huge outlets, not covering the edges of the screen, cheap plastic.
All for 45 bugs.
You´ll get an ugly UAG for the same prize, bullet proof however.
BTW

Amazing hand crafted leather cases, outstanding quality and finish.
"Available soon for the Pixel 3"

I have the google case and don't think i will ever change it. Maybe not the best protection but i almost never drop my phone and the feel is premium and very good when you hold the phone. Very satisfied.

Just throwing out that Nomad is also an option. Got one for my Pixel 3 XL and I'm loving it so far.

Love my nomad too! Expensive but great quality as far as i can tell!

I have both and like them equally. Both are slim and feel great. Fabric is improved over last year as I had one for my 2xl. The bellroy is also better after reading reviews from last year and seeing the improvements that the company made.
I just received a new case from simply carbon fiber and it's also sweet. Looks and feels great. So now I have 3 cases that I really enjoy and for a phone that deserves it.

I'm on the fence between the Nomad and the Bellroy. I've held the Bellroy and loved the feel and the leather wrapping around the sides, but the buttons were a little stiff. I've not seen the Nomad in person, but there appears to be more of a raised edge protecting the screen and it just looks more protective overall. I've heard the button feel is good and the leather looks more natural. I'm currently using a Google Fabric case which appears to have minimal protection, other than slight bumps and scratches on the back.

Sorry, but your link isn't working.

Anyone care for pictures of your cases? Most product pictures are touched and photoshopped... Interested in the Bellroy and the stock Pixel fibre case (carbon or indigo)...

I have the Bellroy leather case. It's ok...
However, I would suggest searching this case on EBay...
X-LEVEL For Google Pixel 3 XL Luxury Retro Leather UltraThin Back Case Cover NEW... it's 9 bucks, and is extremely well made. If you have ever seen the samsung slim leather case for the s10+, this is similar quality (samsung charges $50). I'll try to post an image...
I'm stunned at how nice this is.
