i-Blason Case (PICS)

I got my i-Blason case in today. It is a little different then the one one the youtube video. This one is also smart case that will put the Nexus to sleep when closed. Case fits great. Every port and sensor is exposed including the mic.

How's the overall quality? How much does it get in the way with The bevel covered?

thanks for the pictures. it looks much better than I expected

Screen is completely exposed. I'm finding its much easier to type and play games with the added bulk. The speaker is not covered and sounds as loud as it always has. I like the white stitching and plan on getting a friend to cut some white vinyl stickers for it.

Thank you for these pictures. Forgive me though, is this actually a 2 piece case?
It appears to me that the folding piece is actually separate from the actual case that hold the tab?
Slightly confused, but this does look like a winner.

Thanks for sharing but that makes the Nexus look so much thicker

I agree with this. If you look at the second pic, its seems as thick as there nexus tabs stacked on top of each other.
Although this does seem nicer than most.

It is 2 piece which allows for landscape or portrait standing. Its thick but not too thick, it just adds protection and makes it easier to hold.

Looks nice but any case that covers the bezel is a deal breaker for me. The white stitching is a nice looking!

hmmm
after looking at many cases here in the accessory section from different users, I decided to go with this one. thanks for sharing with us. I get mine tomorrow. I like the portrait and landscape positions, and that it doesn't cover any of the ports, especially the speakers. What are your opinions now? Do you regret your purchase? Are you still liking it very much? any more pros or cons after using for a bit? Thanks again!

The only thing it has ever gotten in my way when doing is moving widgets between home screens. Sometimes my finger hits the case before triggering the blue line to jump to the next homescreen. I dont have this issue with drawing apps or games, only when moving icons or widgets. I just have to roll my finger or move my finger up and down the side to get it to work.

sorry, this post is a copy-n-paste from another thread. It was about an i-blason case for the 7 that was one piece and had a holder for a stylus.

No regrets. I noticed a stitch around the screen is a little frayed but that is all. The hinge seems like will last a long time. You do have to train the hinge to set flat when you are in kickstand mode but mine does it naturally now. With nova launcher installed and almost all my apps have a landscape mode, I dont rest it in portrait mode much but at some point I will need to and I will be glad I can.

I got the red case and I like it so much I just bought the black one. I really hate things that bulk up my devices but there has to be a compromise sometimes on protection and bulk. This case has protection with minimal bulk. I can of course put the tab in portrait or landscape. If I really wanted to I could just take it out of the case easy. I have front and back protection on it from Xtreme guard. Loving this case! Oh yea magnet works great too for waking and putting to sleep. PeAcE

I just brought the same case but it doesnt rotate and it comes with a stylus and a stylus holder built into the case. Overall its great build quality and works perfectly. Im not too happy with the stylus but hey it came free lol

Not feeling it myself, but thanks for taking the time to make this post with the photos to help me decide.

is this the same one?

Got mine today....not really liking it that much. The cut of the inner sleeve leaves the tablet crooked unless you REALLY force it in there and stretch the leather, also on mine the holes for the mic and speaker don't line up exactly as they should. They aren't FAR off but they aren't spot on either. I also thought I wouldn't mind that the inner sleeve is only attached to the outer case by velcro...but I do. It just doesn't leave me with a "it's definitely secure and won't fall out" type of feeling. I do like the auto on/off feature though, works exactly as advertised! Fast shipping too!

Samsung Genuine Flip Cover available from Mobilefun.co.uk

I am a proud owner of a white galaxy note 2 for a week now, i bought it from expansys.. and alltough i allready has the note 1 i am amazed how good this new version feels and its improvments...
Anyway i found it very stupid that even though such a premium smartphone comes out and the companies dont bother to release accessories with it.. you have to wait so long to get them!
Good news is i ordered a Genuine Samsung Flip Cover (white) from www.mobilefun.co.uk and should have it in a few days time..
Its the first company i found that has availability of this case, which as you might know replaces the battery cover and protects also the front screen.
I am now waiting for a samsung car dock with usb ingector to come out as the note1 which was perfect..

The blue looks cool think it would look good with the white note 2 , 40bucks is kinda steep though, any coupons or rebates

My flip case arrived this morning. I have a white Note 2 but thought the silver contrats with it pretty well after seeing some video of the case fitted.
The back part of the case is actually slightly thicker than the stock backing. This is to accomodate for the hinge where the front cover attaches. You can see that the chrome surround on the lens sits just slightly below the level of the back case in the photo below. It also feels thicker when you unbox it as there isn't the flex in it as per the stock back casing. Fits lovely and looks real nice though. The micro-fibre lining on the inside is also a nice touch as well as a slight recess for the home button to sit in when the cover is closed.
Hope the pics are of help if any.

Is the replacement back thick enough from preventing the chrome around the camera from getting scratched if you set it down?

It's a very nice cover and really thinking about it.
However, this case is going to cause problems with use in a car holder (for GPS)

How practical and durable are they in use? Making calls for example, if you have to fold the flap back will the hinge distort, crease, or break over time?

I had the flip cover on my Note 1 for nearly a year and it never had such a problem. Since the Note 2's flip cover is basically the same design, I don't think it will either.

No issues doing either.

I'm getting the White Galaxy Note 2 & just wondering is the grey flip cover a better suit for it then the white version of it?
I myself would only change the back cover only if I thought it looked good & matched well with the white GN2.

my only concern with the flip cover is it doesnt provide enough protection to the phone. Its not going to cushion any fall like a wrap around case would.

I used the white flip cover with my Note 1, and let me tell you, it got very dirty, very quickly. I wouldn't recommend it

case
very nice fitting ok when i univirsal clamp incar holder but pain in the ass to take pics with i got the grey phone with white case as that was the only one i could find in town bit pricey @£29.99 but got it free with the phone but need side protection so am still looking for something more rugged one
bob

The only thing i don't understand about this case is why they didn't make a hole for the notification led.
I got mine today and that is the first thing i noticed about it.
I will end up making a hole myself in it but i think it is a design fault
Oh i got the grey one and i heard that the notification led with the white one is visible although it is also missing a hole in it.

Has anyone tried this specific "smart cover" case?

I looked around for smart covers on ebay and found the cover below. It doesn't fold around like this case does and in general looks more stable judging by the pictures (they could be wrong though).
Have any of you tried it? I have not found a review of it yet but I figured it might be worth asking.

Yes I have this case, I tell you its a beautiful case to hold and look at. There are other colour variants available which I got the red one.
Its very sleek, doesn't add much weight or bulk to the device.
The sleep functions works brilliantly, and doesn't lock the device when you fold it over to hold like a book, which some do.
ONE DOWNSIDE!!!! - The stand is very hard to figure out (i have not yet figured how to fold it to make it stand up haha !)
Hope this helps answer your questions.
And I genuinly recommend this case as its ace ! (that rhymes weee)

Have you got a link for any of the other colours? The ones I see in multiple colours are the ones with the wrap-around magnetic closure in the back (which I have, I'd like to have one that just lies over the screen for use at home).

You're right mate, asif
Yeah the coloured variants have a lip that does go round the back, but its not noticeable and surely you want this to keep it nicely closed and secure?

I think it's noticeable, especially when I have that extra flap to fold back over when I'm using the N7 in my hand.
I want to keep it closed and secure, sure, when it's in a bag or something. But my N7 spends most of its time on my coffee table or bar; I'd love to have a slim case with just a flap over the screen to keep the dust out. That doesn't cost $30+ like the Poetics or Portenzos of the world.

So do you have this exact case or not? I've seen the other ones and I'm not interested in them after reading the reviews. That's why I started a new thread about this one. If you do have this one, some pictures would be great.

I went and ordered one of these, but likely won't have it for a couple of weeks since it's coming from China. Will post my impressions when it arrives.

That's a different case, with the wrap-around flap on the right side. I already have that one.

look, heres the deal, that case may look pretty but any case like that wont stay closed. for it to be closed, there would have to be magnets along the edges like the portfolio. any case maker that says the case will stay closed without magnets on the border is lying.

I own one and its awesome. Buy it.

I have got 1, build quality feels nice and it doesn't add much bulk to the device and also looks pretty sweet.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

I have to admit, I never really liked these cases... but after seeing that YouTube review online, I'm curious enough to give it a shot.
I'm absolutely in love with this Speck case, but I do have a minor concern with it. I use my Nexus 7 frequently, very frequently, and not only that but I use it for work. I'm continually walking up and down the hall at work going from one problem to another, using my N7 along the way. As a result, I'm concerned I may wear out the clip on the Speck case quite a bit. This only became a thought when I realized the clipping mechanism is significantly easier now than it was when I bought it. Broken in? Maybe. Will it get even softer? Very possible. This case ensures that won't happen since the magnets of course don't have physical contact to wear like that. While the higher stand up position seems a bit easy to topple over, the other one with the N7 (one I'd likely prefer anyway) looks a bit better in terms of stability.
At any rate, ah, I bought one just now - we'll see what happens when it gets here.
Edit - for what it's worth the one I ordered did indeed have the magnetic flap that goes around back to ensure it stays shut. I'm not sure I'd consider one without...

Case arrived today, so far I like it, the cover lies flatter than the eBay case with the extra flap, and it feels slimmer. Only downside so far is that it sometimes puts the tablet to sleep when I fold it back. We'll see if it gets better over time. I'll try to take pictures when I have a chance.

maybe slip something to block the magnet on the back? not sure what can maybe help on that front, but maybe a little thickness might be enough.
Side note, anyone have this and the poetic slimline case? I got the first case they had for my uncle, but it's a bit difficult for him to open. I'd get him a portenzo like mine, but it might actually add more bulk than I'd want for him.

I used Draco for my S3, for me it's worth the price, paid around $65 that time, but it makes the phone bigger significantly, which fine with me for S3, but for Note2, I think it's too much.
Signal does drop a little bit.

wow the case is sexy, i don't think it makes the note looks that much bigger from the picture. but the price is too hight. i think i will pass

I've been waiting for this ever since I got my note 2

So where can I buy one from? I'm in the uk, I don't see anywhere available for the Note 2, they look really good, especially in red. Anybody able to supply me a link, cheers.

VITREO on, right? I assume Draco lip is high enough to lay screen down without temp. glass touching the surface? Since I'm not familiar with bumper cases, do they offer a good drop protection? I assume there is a padding inside to absorb the shock and isolate phone from hitting the metal bumper frame if dropped.
... never mind, saw your official review post and got my answers about the design
I was thinking I'm done with reviews of cases, but this kind of picked my curiosity again

Vitreo has enough of a border it doesn't touch the case. When laid flat, I think the Vitreo and bumper touch at the same contact point.
Tolerance looks very close. hard to tell. I slide it on the edge of a counter and it seems seamless. If anything the Vitreo sticks out a little further than the bumper.

Ok received my draco gray today.. Love this bumper.. No noticeable signal loss, great high quality peace... I am using it with the mugen extended battery.. I had to modify it some for it to fit.. Shaved off the lip in the back side.. Will post pictures as soon as I have another phone to take some.. Looks better than I thought it would..

i bought the same one, but in red. only the black one seems to have the antenna cut out. the rest don't (at least not from the pictures). mine should be here in two weeks...but i imagine theyll have the same issues as the genuine draco has that people complain about in the draco thread.

I bought a red one too. It fits fine, no signal lost or anything. I just stop using mine because im using a zl battery with a modified defender case now, otherwise id still be rocking it.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

I actually bought the red one too. It should be here in about 10 days. The pictures from the ebay vendor I purchased from appear to show the antenna cutout on all of the colors.
My only concern is if it will have enough lip to keep the back and screen from touching surfaces when laying flat. As long as it does that, I'll be happy. I currently have a tech21 imapactolgy tpu case on my note2 and although it's slim, it still covers too much of my awesome looking phone. I just wrapped my phone in a full body zagg competitor so my only concern now is edge protection (and at least some lip).
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda premium

If signal drop-off isn't an issue then the next main issue with most of the knockoff bumbers is the headphone cut-out.
If you listen to a lot of music and want to use better headphones than the original ones, it won't fit. The cut-out is way too small. No one seems to mention that. I bought a few cheap bumpers and an expensive one (after readign reviews in another post here) and all of them had the headphone cut-out issue.

Can you link to the bumper you bought on eBay?
Sent from my SGH-I317 using xda premium

The cut off for head phone jack fits fine, not a whole lot of room but it will work. It also have a lip around both the back and front so if you lay your phone on a flat surface the bunper will protect it from touching the flat surface.

I actually bought the red one too. It should be here in about 10 days. The pictures from the ebay vendor I purchased from appear to show the antenna cutout on all of the colors.

well, now that i look closely, there's one picture that doesnt, and one picture that does. i hope it doesn't though.

has anyone received this case? I want to know what they think of it

Mine is due to arrive on the 25th. I'll be sure to post my thoughts and impressions once I get it.

Just ordered one to try vs the Ringke Slim I have on there now. I love the slim except for when I drop the phone, the case pops off and the phone gets damaged anyway.

just got mine. looks pretty solid. there is NO antenna cut out, so it's perfect.
the only problem i had was the case came assembled, and the hex screws holding them in are screwed in super tight. i had to run to home depot and get a hex screwdriver that gave me more torque to turn it. but got it on the phone and it looks really good.
another issue is that the lip on the back is not high enough, so it seems that my camera is touching the surface of the table instead of the case

If it is not to much trouble can you post some pictures?

Did you buy yours from casefanatic? Or from an eBay seller? On the off chance that there are some with the cutout and others without, I can update the OP with links for known good cases.

i'll try to post some pictures tomorrow.
after using it for a few hours, im definitely more scared of dropping the phone since its thinner and more slippery than my previous rubber case; im much more careful with the phone in my hands now.
it fits pretty well; the part where the two parts are screwed together dont fit perfectly though. there's a slight mismatch. but for $15, its fine to me. and i can see how some people will say the edges are sharp. my gf says its sharp and could cause papercut type of cuts, but i dont really see a problem with it.
also, i have no signal drop at all.

i've actually been noticing that ive been getting BETTER reception after putting this bumper on, which is kind of weird. i was expecting to lose at least 1 bar. maybe t-mobile is making some changes or something to their network though.

I wish I have seen this thread before I bought mine last night. I paid $2 more from a different ebay seller. The picture looks pretty much the same. I got the the grey one to go with my grey Note II.
I noticed that the pictures of the frame posted above is so much better than the ones with the phone + frame. I guess the ones with frame alone were taken with the Note II!

Will this bumper fit into any belt clips? Maybe a seidio surface clip?
