Hi.
I want a really nice tight and tactile skin for my N7.
When I first got my iPad 1 I bought a Rocketfish skin that was just perfect for it. Nice rough back so it was easy to hold and nice and tight.
Looking around I can't see many good skins at the moment for the N7. They all have smooth rubber and some comments off amazon say they are flabby.
I've looked on Amazon UK and USA. Is there anywhere else I should be looking?
Please don't say eBay - full of cowboys.

this is exactly what i am after - i would be very interested to hear some suggestions
Well I bought a Gel skin for £4 off ebay but as you think eBay is full of cowboys you don't want to know.
I also got a neoprene slip cover for a couple of quid including postage and a cool as feck tablet stand for just two quid.
But as you think eBay is full of cowboys you don't want to know
I appreciate your comment but eBay has been nothing but bad for me for stuff like this.
Everything I have bought off eBay for my phone, tablet and kindle has been sub standard so I don't want to deal with them again.

Translation: I'm a bit rubbish at choosing what to buy on eBay :laugh:
Everything I've bought off ebay for all of my gadgets has been entirely acceptable for the price.
Use buy it now from business sellers and you get full DSR and SOGA rights!
Much better than buying in the shops.

I bought one of these for £4.35 inc postage.
It's probably not the best in the world but I haven't tried them all so I can't be sure.
It's a very good fit.
It does make the Nexus easier to hold, much more grippy.
Holding it by the case now means I can't feel the slight screen raise on the left.
It does protect the back of the device and I can now put it down anywhere without worrying the back will be scratched.
It only cost me £4.35 and it is doing a good job of protecting the N7 for now.

I bought one of the s-line cases in a very fetching translucent purple and it fits perfectly, I can even get my very cumbersome hifi jack to work with it.

I also bought a S-line TPU case in black for $8 and it fits perfectly! Very tight and form fitted, while barely adding any bulk/mass to the device. It's very good looking in black as well, gives the nexus a murdered out look. I'm also using a Timbuk2 Cush Kindle Fire sleeve along with the TPU case for maximum protection while travelling in a very slim package. Highly recommended!

No idea what murdered out means :laugh: but the gel cover is indeed a good fit.
At this price point they are almost disposable.

Murdered is a term from the car/tuner industry, usually meaning completely blacked out. It looks "murdered" because the tpu case covers the silver bezel and makes the entire device black.
Here's a murdered out ZR1, for reference:

I agree, looks better than stock and the added grip does make it easier to handle. As for the vette, they've always been able go round corners, you just need to be a godlike driver to go fast without snap oversteering and stuffing it in a wall

That's a nice looking case, but I contacted them and they have no stock atm. They're expecting them to be in stock by the end of the month.
Also...they don't ship to eu and their eu shop doesn't list the galaxy tab case at all...damn...it does look nice..!
I received my Samsung case yesterday and it has already been binned. An absolutely awful product. The bottom band 1/3 covered the capacitance buttons making the Tab very difficult to use. A complete waste of £18.99!
Looking on the internet reveals that all the better cases seem leave the buttons completely unobstructed, it's almost as if the manufacturers took a few minutes to actually look at and think about the product they were actually designing the case for.
It is pretty odd and more than a little annoying that Samsung endorse this rubbish as an 'official' case and secondly didn't include any kind of cover for a premium £500 device in the box.
That said I really can't rate the Tab highly enough, truly brilliant device. I never was sold on the ipad due its massive size/weight (may as well carry a laptop) and nothing on this earth would force me back to the hell of itunes.....
I have that same case and love it. Its actually cheaper at verizon stores for $39.99 and even cheaper if you have employee discount through your employer.

I've got the schoshe case also, picked it up today with my new tab and so far so good. The case is rather expensive at 49.99 from the tmobile store however it seems like it's high quality, leaves the tab 100% functional, and has a couple different angles for landscape view when you want to prop it up.
Wish the Schosche case as available in Canada. Let's see if I can find one in South Jersey and have it shipped to my dads.
Piel Frama also has their Tab case. Expensive and takes 15 days to deliver.

The one on Broadway and Waverly Place carries one and an Incipio case as well. I like the one from Verizon Wireless more though. It's a grainier leather.
this one: http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/370/productID/2054
seems to be the same type of case and it says it's only leather texture. That would explain the odd chemical smell mine has been giving off since I got it. Still a nice case though.
I'm thinking of getting Zenus case, then I changed my mind when I saw T-Prop standing case, and I think I might get that one instead. Since I'm still new, can't post a link yet..
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I picked up one from the T Mobile store on 36th street and 8th avenue. This is a very nice case indeed.
Here's my Incipio case that i bought from tmobile store for $49. I love this case a lot as it looks good on my tab and protects it at the same time. It's similar to the otterbox defender case with dual layer protection a rubber inner layer with a hard plastic shell on the top it even has a stand. This model is not listed on their website yet, grab one on your local tmobile store and you wont be dissapointed.
Here's the picture i took:

I got the official "Samsung Galaxy tab Leather book cover" today. No problems with the camera hole. Nothing in the way of capaticance buttons. Fast access to SIM, MICROSD, buttons etc..
Real leather, slim and stylish. Aprox 25 EUR here in Norway.
The tab fits nice and is hold in the case same way as the Zenus.
Must be two cases from Samsung for the tab. The case I got is totally different from what is described in this tread

$20? for a tpu cover? you'd have to be made of money. Ok they have some different designs for the surface detailing but in the end it's still just a basic tpu cover.

High quality or not, $20 is indeed pretty steep for a TPU. I could get a leather case with sleep/wake functions and a stand built in for $10 off eBay.
Should have been $10, or at a max $12.
I have a bunch of these for my gnex and they're awesome, but for 20$, hell no.

If $20 is too much for you, get a cheapy TPU case, but this thing looks much nicer IMO, and besides, with $60 in game trades and $180 in store credit from swapping out an XBOX 360, this tablet only cost me $30 anyways....

I've been buying cases from cruzer lite for some time now and I can't think of one case they have that is rubberized.....they have all been the traditional tpu, afaik. The "persona of Andy" cases are a little "softer" than the androidified cases, but still of the hard tpu.

Aren't all TPU cases "rubberized?" Not sure what you're referring to, Backslash10, got a link for one that is more rubberized than the one I bought?
Today I took receipt of 2 Nillkin Hard Cases for the GT-N7100 Galaxy Note (One brown, one Red.)
I bought them from eBay for around £6 each delivered, the quality is surprisingly good, I wasn't keen on having a TPU or Soft Silicone case, or the flip case that I had for my original Note. So I thought I'd give this one a try.
You can see that it comes well packaged, not just in an envelope as is usually the case from Chinese suppliers of such products.

It also includes a screen protector, I've not yet fitted that, as I already have one fitted that's in good condition.
As you can see from the next set of photos, it doesn't really add a great deal of bulk, which is another reason I didn't want a TPU or Silicon case.
Granted I can't see it protecting the phone from a massive fall, but I wanted to keep the svelte lines as much as I could, whilst adding some grip, which it does nicely with the texture that is on the under side.
The fit is really snug, I had reservations at first, but once it's fitted it doesn't move at all, so I have no worries about it slipping off.
All-in-all I think it's a really good product, it adds protection from scratches for most of the phone, whilst not being too bulky, just enough thickness to save the camera lens from getting scratched when you put the phone down.
So if you're looking for a case and have similar requirements to my own, consider giving this one a try.
thank you for your return
Excellent review and photos,its a shame the case doesn't cover the top and bottom of the phone .
i just made a thread about this, but yours is nicer so....
I didn't like the fit at ALL until I just removed the back cover from my note 2 completely.
I don't really care about NFC so I'm okay with this. I like having a bit more lip too.
I find a couple of the edges a bit sharp. meaning if I hold the phone in landscape, my index fingers get scraped a little bit by the case edges.
I might sand them down or something.
The texture on the case is quite nice - pretty subtle but noticable when you hold it.

I know what you mean, but at least it looks uniform all the way around, I had a couple of flip cases, one made by a company called Tenda, great case and had a similar hard back to it, that case did cover all the edges... except for one corner, it would have looked a bit daft if it didn't have the flip screen cover.
But because of the material, I think it would be a nightmare taking it off, if it did cover every edge, as because it's really stiff, you need some leverage when you do want to remove it.

It might just be the batch you've got perhaps, I've just been around both cases, both on and off, and there are no sharp edges, in your case, a small nail file or wet'n'dry should do the trick.
I think I know what you mean about the fit, I too was a bit cautious as it "almost" sits flush with the screen, but there is a bit of a lip and I've shaken the hell out it and it's going know where haha.

That's a really nice case you have there. I envy your adventurous nature in going for red, I'd be more conservative and go for grey or black!
Anyhow I was also looking at this similar case and thought it offers a little more protection around the top / bottom. Any opinions?

I'd be more inclined to go for the one you've found, for that added protection, I have ordered a aluminum bumper and a flip case which I'll probably post a review about, unless someone already has.
I might buy the one you've posted about too lol.
Yeah I'm on the case hunt too. Already bought the S-Line with kickstand just yesterday. I also really like the look of the one I linked to above. I'm interested in this flip cover too , which I really like for its corner protection - should be protective enough for most falls and no magnet involved to interfere with the s-pen.
And worst of all, I don't even own a Note 2 yet. Crazy or what?!
Anyhow apologies for hijacking your useful review thread

Which case is that then as there's a few mentioned above? I'll stay away from that one once I know as the phone is slippery enough as is (from trying out in store).

Today I took receipt of 2 Nillkin Hard Cases for the GT-N7100 Galaxy Note (One brown, one Red.)
I bought them from eBay for around £6 each delivered, the quality is surprisingly good, I wasn't keen on having a TPU or Soft Silicone case, or the flip case that I had for my original Note. So I thought I'd give this one a try.

White ones look nice too, but its just hard to maintain the white from turning dull color. If you have time, please post some pics of your brown case

Just received my battery door replacement yesterday. Love the built in kickstand. .. keeps it nice and slim. I'm worried about the sides not being protected but the color is so nice. Would have bought the all black if I had to do it over. This one gets more attention than I want. But the quality is top notch.

Wow, AMAZING case!
Questions.
1) Did you find a US distributor or did you have to buy it from other side of world and wait 2 weeks for shipping?
2) Does the kickstand feel like it is well made and will last? Looks kind of flimsy.
Thanks.
** An idea on how to protect it from drops. Stop by your local mall and buy a lanyard. Feed it through the speaker hole on the back and wear it around your wrist when using the phone. If you fumble it the lanyard will save you. Never hit the ground.
These look amazing how much were they? And do they have nfc?

Looks like you can buy them on eBay for about $45 USD. Only problem is waiting to get it from Hong Kong via camel train and carrier pigeon.
Yes, their ad does say it supports NFC.

1. No, at the time (Dec 8th) this case was only available thru ebay and some foreign websites. Went thru ebay...it came from Hong Kong and it was during the holidays so the delay was expected.
They are slowly starting to sell the products on Amazon (directly fulfilled) as of last week.
2. The kickstand is NICE. Not flimsy at all. I looked inside behind the kickstand; it appears to be on a fixed track, so it slides easily. There is a metal piece on the inside that allows it to lock and stand in 2 places. Like anything, it probably could break but you have to be really hard on it.
3. The plastic used for the door is a bit stiffer that the original door. The whole case adds weight but in a good way. It feels substantial now. Phone doesn't slip when grabbing it now.
Thanks for the lanyard tip. I think I will go without one. I trust myself, lol. Btw, yes it has nfc. Also, they aren't too cheap. My case was 49.99 but they are 59.99 on Amazon. Also, Amazon only has the Carbon Fiber version of this (my first pick but wasn't available in the states at the time) in Black, White and Grey. Will be buying one of those this week so look out for more pics
I was on an escalator the other day and fumbled my GN2. That lanyard saved me. Would have crashed down 10 metal steps. Instead it just hung harmlessly from my wrist. Also, it comes in handy if you have to save a falling baby from a burning building and you don't have time to put down the phone
Yeah these are pricey but they look it. Glad to hear the kickstand isn't crap.
I am thinking black as well. Good for business. Tried an orange case once. Way too blingy.

Another quick question. How well does the cover fold back on itself? Is it super rigid or pliable like the Samsung OEM flip? Does folding it back make lasting creases in the material? My only concern is that since this is real leather it might not fold back as easily.
Thanks.

Yeah the leather is pretty stiff at first but its loosening nicely. There appears to be 3 indentions in the case to make folding easier. Gimme a sec, I will try to grab a pic (nice having 2 Notes around)
The front cover is thick and sturdy enough for me to use it as a platform. I do this alot, believe it or not, lol. Also so pics of the inside nfc...

Looks like real quality. Would feel better if it were an Amazon product. Always nervous about giving my personal info to some dude in China.
My SAMSUNG OEM case is fine and hate to drop another $50 on this phone but that is a sweet case.

Yeah, cant go wrong with Amazon. But take a look at anymode's website. The us version is coming soon but the international one works. You can see some of the cases that are available elsewhere. Looks like they are bringing all of these products to the states. Now I have to budget for like 3 more cases, lol.
The folio case with the mirror front is genius. You can see the screen and use the pen thru the front when the screen is on, but it looks like a mirror when its off. Genius!

What are the thinnest Flex cases? Post pictures if you can. The only issue I have with the Flex if you call it a issue is that I don't want to hide the curves. lol I want the thinnest case. Might just have to go with a full body protector.
thanks
get this one bro; super thin, great grip ridges on the side, and it fits like a glove..

You have it? I might get the clear or red one. I guess a mall has cell phone shop that will like shrink wrap a protector on any phone/tab. lol I might take a look at that today.
yeah, I have the red one..its super thin, just like you are looking for..
problem with those shrink wrapped type skins is that if you drop the phone on its edge, on concrete, they wont keep you from chipping the phone...

Post some pictures of the case on your phone if you can. I just wanted something that will make the phone not as slippery with limited bulk possible. I'm not going to say what I want to say for the fear of jinking myself. lol

I will later today, after I exchange this defective phone...but trust me, this is the slimmest, thinnest tpu type case you could imagine for this phone..
I ended up ordering that case and another one yesterday. I guess I didn't need to start another thread.
Sorry mods.
sorry I forgot to post pics; got busy restoring the phone all day yesterday..
Trust me, if you wanted a thin, unobtrusive cast, you bought the right one..what other case did you get?

This one. Only a few bucks so what the heck. A local mall has a invisible shield store and I wanted to have them install one but they said it might be a week til they get it. Might buy one online and have them put it on. I'm kind of picky and thinking they might not stay on with a curved phone as well though. I've had clear plastic cases that don't add much bulk but that's not happening with a curved phone. lol
Fosmon HYBO-SK Series Hybrid PC + TPU Kickstand Case for LG G Flex (Black)
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...N=B00HCNFVSO&linkCode=as2&tag=androheadl04-20
I had one of those on my one maxx; its OK, for a cheapo, but not as flexible as the other one you ordered..
for the price, its worth having around.
BTW, I had installed one of those skins on my flex; it was ok for a few days, then it started to come up around the round corners, so I don't know if one is good for a rounded phone like this. I am good at installing these things, but I couldn't get it perfect...
I'm still thinking about getting LG flip case. I know it's pricey but the discount helps and it provides good protection. Don't think you need a screen protctor with that case.

MPERO FLEX S Series Protective Case for LG G Flex
It's ok and doesn't add that much bulk. I don't think it fits like it should on my Flex because I have a Otter Box 360 on. I think I just want a pouch to put my Flex in when I go golfing.

Feather Shine
So I just put the Feather Shine on - it's a nice case, and looks pretty good. There's a strange thing, however: the corners on the front are shaped/recessed in such a way that when the phone is lying face down, the phone's top and bottom edges and corners are in contact with the table. I would prefer if the feather shine was what was touching the table.
I'm very curious about the Vest thing that LG has on their site. I can only find it (so far) from Korean vendors on eBay, with 3-4 week delivery times, so I haven't pulled the trigger. It seems to be minimalist protection, focusing protection exactly on the area I am concerned about: the front corners and top and bottom edges of the phone. Does anyone know someplace in the US that's selling these?
Thanks!
I have the quick window case. It's a nice design with nice patterns and such. The only thing I didn't like was that it really doesn't stand up to scratches much. It makes a nasty scuff Mark on the front of the door where it hits the back of the phone. I bought a vest from overseas last week for $20 on eBay. We'll see how that goes.

Not sure I understand the scuff mark. So the vest case overseas is the same as LG's but you save 40 bucks? Send me the link. Thanks
