The official non-bezel-covering unobtrusive case thread

I hate the cases that cover the bezel and basically leave only the screen viewable. I find they add bulk, get in the way of your fingers sometimes, etc. This is the thread for cases that don't do this. Preferably these cases have only 2-3 "layers." A lid (or not), the tablet, then the back, and the holding mechanism is typically kind of invisible or unobtrusive. I find it's generally the fourth layer in the middle that goes on top of the bezel or on the back where there's a rotation mechanism that adds the unneeded bulk. Hopefully these cases still allow you to pocket your N7. Personally I'd love some kind of TPU case with a kickstand, but no luck so far.

So far these are all basically Folio cases.

All those case are exactly the same except for the Kay's. Theres a few different ones one ebay too. Im waiting for a nice slim case too, one like the poetic smart case.

This poetic case differs slightly as it has a hand grip and elastic strap to hold the case closed.
I wonder how it compares to the kayscase one you posted (particularly how the stand holds up to slight shaking on airplanes)

I've been looking at that one myself, nice and slim but too expensive for what it is at £24 inc del (ignoring the vastly over-inflated 'original' price it was never sold at). I'll wait and see what price it ends up being sold for.

I have the top one listed. The black. Works good. Adds quite a bit of thickness but comes off easy. I think I'll use it to snap on when I leave the house and run nekkid when at home.
The Smart Cover works very well and doesn't turn the screen off when folded behind. I was wondering what that little lanyard loop was for, stylus. Good to know. Again it is nice that this case can just pop off whenever you need and not requiring any extra effort to get it off like a sleeve or a tight fit. The N7 is pretty snug in there but comes off with little effort.
I have the slim Poetic Smart Case on order. I like a thin profile. So far I've tried a TPU case and this one. As long as the Poetic doesn't have some major flaw, I'll probably switch to that once I get it. Sure it's $20 but I spent $30 for my Ringke Slim for my Galaxy Nexus.

I have this one, which I just posted a review about, with pics:

I prefer the cases which allow the 360 degree rotation, so those will be a bit bulkier. Don't mind it though since I prefer the versatility over the slight bulkiness.

There are a few minor differences hence multiple links. Some are different prices, some will be out of stock, some have a stylus loop, some come in different colors, some have a differently designed speaker cutout, etc. So I didn't feel it was redundant.

Remove all Amazon referrer links.

The official case doesn't really cover much bezel

For a book reader like myself, the official cover is great and doesn't really cover the bezel, and its still able to maintain a relatively thin profile.

These cases look great, especially the Kays. Unfortunately, they don't ship to Australia.

I agree. I was hoping for a thread like this to pop up thank goodness

I also hate bezel covering cases. Hopefully more pop up.
I'd waiting on a nexus 7 version of http://www.incipio.com/BlackBerry-PlayBook-Cases-Accessories/Incipio-BlackBerry-PlayBook-Executive-Premium-KICKSTAND-Leather-Case.asp

Waiting for the MoKo to come out with more colors! Love this style but it would be perfect if it had a kickstand in the back for portrait mode. Not sure why anyone hasn't made one like that yet.
Please keep this thread updated! I'm still holding out on buying a new case until I find one that's just what I want (I already have a cheapo case protecting my N7 for the time being). Thanks!

I would like something that doesn't snap over the back cover but replaces it similar to what the galaxy note has since the back just snaps off. Here is an example of a very ugly one I can't find the matte black or white ones with a quick google search but they exist link. The only addition I would like to see is the tri fold front cover with magnet to make it a smart cover like this case. If the case had the same outside texture as the stock back that would be a bonus as well. I doubt we will get one though.

I have the poetic case ams and it works quite well.
It's still thin and pocketable while offering great protection due to the sturdy front cover.

Poetic and Samsung Official Case.

I ordered the Poetic since it was $5 on Amazon and I like the Poetic case on my Galaxy Tab 2 7.0. I also ordered the official Samsung Protective Cover because of the 50% coupon off. I actually don't mind the thickness of the Poetic case but the lower right corner "lip" does not hold the phone tight enough. It needs to come up and over more like the front. However, it did not slip off the case while I was holding it upside down so the other 3 corners did a good enough job. The thing I like about the Poetic case is that when you snap the front cover shut, it will do a very good job of protecting the phone should it slip while you pull it out of your pocket. It does however, double the thickness of the phone.
The official Samsung case which is more like a TPU case also came in. It is very thin and I wish the front lip would rise a little higher to protect the front glass in case of a drop. Most of you might like it and think that it is thick enough. Anyway, I'll let the pictures speak for themselves.

I am still waiting for this case to come in. I returned the official flip cover case since it was too thin and offers no drop protection.

I linked to that last flip case in another thread. I really like the way they've used the raised corner protection on the case. It looks like it should protect the phone no matter what angle a fall might impact on.
I'm eager to hear what you make of it once you've received it, along with a few photos of it on the phone, especially how much higher the raised corners rise above the screen. Tia

I ordered the Poetic slimbook case that released today. All the Poetic slimbook cases get great reviews on youtube for other devices. 4.95? The price was so cheap, I thought it was a mistake. The slimbook case looks very similar to the 50 dollar flip cases that are more stylish. Crazy deal. The hardbacks like this white one are ok..kinda generic plain looking.

Let me know how that one works out. How secure it holds the phone and more importantly, is there any protection at the top of the phone. Makes me want to order another one but I already have 2 cases plus one more coming and I only have one phone!

Yes, I really like the raised corner shown in the picture. It is coming from China so at least another week before I get it.

Aquaholik, any further feedback on the Poetic case? Would you recommend it?
My main concern is the added bulk, how is it for fitting in the pocket? Also how easy for removing? I might use the case for home use (to protect if kids use), and a TPU case when I'm out and about.
I have one ordered one from Amazon, but can still cancel as not shipped yet.

It is very easy to remove. No problem going in and out of my pocket since I wear slack pants most of the time. Jean pocket, forget it. I am neutral on it. It was $5, a bit thick, looks plain but offer good protection. I lay it against a flat surface on every angle and don't see any gap in drop protection. The stock case is nice but this is a big phone with lots of glass and that mm of raised lip isn't going to protect the phone when drop face down on concrete. So I am putting all my hope on the Ebay case. When I am out and about, the phone will stay in the poetic case.

[Q] Experiences with Samsung flip cover?

The Note II has been out for a little bit and I wanted to know if anyone has a Samsung flip cover and how well it works as a case? from the description I think it replaces the battery cover, does this make it any stronger? It's quite pricey so I'm not sure if its worth 30$...

No but I recently ordered a carbon fiber one from ebay for like $16. Haven't got it yet. Shipping from China so it might take a while.
And the point, I'm sure, of replacing the back cover is so wont add to the size of the phone.
By the way, I believe Samsung offering 50% off of mobile accessories on its website. So you could get the official Samsung one for $20. You'll have to enter a coupon code which should be easy to find with a little searching.
ETA: this is the carbon fiber case I ordered if anybody is interested:
www.ebay.com/itm/Carbon-fiber-Leath..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item3ccc0c7c88

It doesn't protect the phone at all. The flap gets annoying and makes picture taking difficult. Not worth the money. It does look damn classy when it's sitting on my desk closed though.

I really like it. The back cover is thicker than the original, but offers no protection except when the flap is covering the screen. I thought it would get on my nerves but it hasn't at all.

saves your original back cover.
nfc compatible.
screen scratch protection when closed.
annoying for pictures.
looks damn sexy.
thin which with this phone is important.

Absolutely hate it. Have to hold with both hands to use the camera. Protection is a joke. Returned and got TPU instead. So far liking the tpu a lot better.

I ended up ordering one of these http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/sam...dified-a2-tpu-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-ii It's cheaper and will protect more.
Although my phone is white so I might need a black skin in the back for the logo to stand out.

I just got the black body glove case that T-Mobile sells. It's the only one they had at the store other than the flip cover. It's better than the flip cover, but i just dropped my phone and it landed face down and the corner of the case popped off. The screen didn't crack, but left a scuff on the edge. Also, the side buttons are a bit difficult to access with this case. I guess I'll keep looking...
Sent from my Galaxy Note II using Tapatalk

The flip covers looks good, but thats about the only positive I have for it. I purchased one when I bought my phone and here are the cons.
1: expensive
2: the most likely spot for your phone to make contact in a drop are the sides and corners which go unprotected with this case.
3: Flap ends up being more annoying than anything else
4: I have a white flip case, and it gets dirty easy which I would guess happens to all the lighter colors.
5: getting sand and other particles trapped between the screen and the flip cover can cause scratches.
I purchased a few cases, from sprint, amazon, Verizon etc and my go to case so far has been the body glove from sprint. It's pretty, and has a perfect fit. That plus a SGP screen protector.

100% incorrect. The NFC antenna is built into the battery cover. Cheapo knockoff flip covers have this important piece missing from their battery covers, but the Sammy OEM cover has it installed. The only time I hate my sammy flip cover is when taking pictures, as the flip sort of gets in the way. Other than that, I love the flip, just feel better about it in my pocket, and I don't get oil from holding the phone to my cheek anymore. Going to try out the Incipio LGND case to see if I like it more with the added protection.

You can also modify a case to fit over the flip cover to keep more protected
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app

For me, the flip cover actually allows me to take pictures with one hand only. I can get a good grip with it, see attached picture.
I found it also works great when using GPS navigation in the car, I insert the flip cover into the CD slot, at an angle, and it hangs perfectly, with the display facing the driver.
Today, I watched a movie in the plane, with the flip cover inserted into the magazines pouch of the seat in front of me, the display stayed in a perfect position.
I have installed a program called "auto screen on" from the play store, when I open the flip cover, the phone turns on in less than a second, no battery diference, it works extremely well.

I have the flip cover on my Galaxy Note 1. I'm planning to get it for my Note 2. The one thing I like about it is that it looks pretty damn nice. I have the brown flip cover on my white Note 1, and it looks pretty classy looking. I get compliments on the looks since it it really matches well with the white and chrome trim of the Note. On the Note 1, the brown flip case has a textured back, which is easier to grip than the glossy slippery back of the white battery cover. Also, the metal ring that goes around the camera lens is recessed more with the flip case, so the metal ring and lens don't get damaged. I want to get the Brown flip case on my Note 2, but this time, I might also try finding a case that will go over the flip cover to protect the sides and corners, since the flip case won't really protect against drops.

[review] Deluxe Leather Card Stand Flip Wallet Case

Original Post
Has anyone used this leather flip case?
Deluxe Leather Card Stand Flip Wallet Case
It looks to be high quality, but I have a concern. It looks to be magnetic. Where is the magnet? If it is in the little flap, I would just cut it off. If anyone has used it, I would appreciate hearing what you think.

Purchase Review:
I thought I would start this off by giving a quick review of the transaction. I ordered mine through the eBay link in my original post that is quoted above. Shipping was very fast. It was packaged pretty well, and I got exactly what I ordered. If anyone is interested in this case I recommend using the this eBay link.
[Modified] Product Review:
I am reviewing the product as I modified it. I cut the little flap off to remove the magnet.
PROS:
The case does seem to be very high quality. The coloring is very nice and the case has a premium look and feel. I also really like the shell insert to clip the phone in. There is no bulk around the edges of the screen to contend with. It allows you to use swipe gestures as you would on a naked phone.
There is also plenty of storage for 4-5 credit cards, a pocket for cash, and another pocket for papers (Social Security Card, Voter ID, or things like that).
This case also offers pretty good protection as long as it stays closed on a drop. If it were to flutter open in the air before and land screen down, the screen might not fare too well.
CONS:
There is a second magnet inside the front cover of the case. I piece of metal will stick to the outside very easily, However if you run the piece of metal along the inside of the front cover, there is no magnetic pull. I don't know if it would interfere with the phone, but I don't want to risk it.
The storage, while a pro, is also a con. The case is too big to use everyday in your front pocket. It fits, but there is a huge bulge that just looks weird. And I don't like the thought of sitting on my phone all the time, so the back pocket is out. If I carried a bag around all day the size wouldn't bother me at all.
No front cutouts. A cutout for the notification LED would be nice. I don't really need a front speaker cut out, but I could see why others would.
Credit cards in the case. I worry about have the edges of the cards always rubbing on the screen. I have a screen protector your screen would be safe, but the protector itself would have rub lines from the cards.
OVERALL OPINION:
I really like the way it looks. I really like the idea of it. However the cons are just too much, and this case isn't for me.

I would also like to know looks super nice for the price...I want a wallet case like that so I can throw phone in my backpack for work and watnot

I keep three cards in the card holders and with a little over a months use it is nicely worn in getting an authentic 'vintage' look. Because it's worn in the cover doesn't have issues closing completely giving it a true Journal/Diary appearance.

MYBAT Jolt Case mini review - amazing case for only $6

I'm not that great at prose. Bullet points for all of you!
Bought from here. Also comes in white and red.
Notes:
The great big DANGER sticker and Big Scary Laser sticker is something I bought separately.
Pros:
It's 6 freaking dollars!
Does not feel cheap
Volume/power buttons retain their 'click'
Reasonable protection
High lip for drop protection
Lip does not impede touching the edge of the screen
Stand actually useful (comfortable angle)
Slippery enough to slide into my pocket, grippy enough to comfortably stay on a table
Does not attract fingerprints at all
Fit is very tight, phone absolutely won't come out on its own
Feels comfortably rugged but not ridiculously so
Would not be afraid to drop the phone whilst in the case
Cons:
Volume/power buttons have very little definition on the case, very easy to accidentally press volume down whilst holding the phone
Stylus cutout could be a tad bigger
Larger headphone connectors may not fit
Larger microUSB connectors may not fit
Can be a little fiddly to get the phone out of the case due to tight fit
Neutral:
Stand only has one angle (I like it for the simplicity, but each to their own)
Stand feels a little flimsy (I don't think it will break unless someone smacks the phone down whilst standing)
No dust covers on the jacks (I personally like this as I hate having to remove dust covers when I want to plug anything in)
Wrapup:
For $6 shipped I couldn't be happier.
Unless I find something hugely better or the otterbox commuter drops in price by $20, I'm sticking with this.

I've got the same case, modded it to use with my flip cover and it works great. With the flip cover on I can fold it back and prop the stand on it or it lays flat in front like a keyboard on a laptop. The only problem I have with it is the kickstand is a bit flimsy.

I put the flip cover on, then put the case on and marked it just 1mm-2mm from the top and bottom of the flip cover then removed the case and cut it down to the little groove along the back edge, then cut along the groove. Afterwards I sanded the back edge with 200-1800 grit sand paper and it looks factory finished now.

I put the flip cover on, then put the case on and marked it just 1mm-2mm from the top and bottom of the flip cover then removed the case and cut it down to the little groove along the back edge, then cut along the groove.

I don't quite read you... Pics?

Monty, i found one exact replica of the Otterbox Commuter for $5 and mod it to have a thin kickstand.

I spliced in the kickstand from a $9 TPU casing. The point is it's more protected from drops & has a functional stand without the $70 cost from where I come from.

Correct, it is identical.

Got the same case from amazon for a buck with 5 bucks shipping. Very god review and I agree with all of it.
Pics of the models version would be awesome.

I just received my uag scout case and then I see this thread. Blast. The uag case is nice. Fit is not a hundred percent but protection feels good. What it is, is not worth 39 that I paid for it. This case looks like it would offer similar level of protection to the uag case. Anybody compared the two? Might get it to cutout the back to allow for better charging wen I finally get around to performing the induction charging mod.

I'll post pictures on the phone soon, either tonight if I can get decent pics with my wifes photon on weds when I get home and have my 2nd note I can put the case on and take pics

I just got the same one. It's tight. No pun intended.

The only thing to be careful with on this case is the inside edges are pretty sharp, at least on mine, and scuff up the edges of the phone. The reason I don't use it on my new note.

Sorry, but in terms of quality these are in a different category. Two months ago I said to myself after getting a handful of ebay cases - hey they all cost as much as one of the premium one. Then, I compared it to those from UAG, Case-Mate, and Otterbox - and the quality and fitment of ebay cases was pale in comparison. They will offer a similar level of protection, I will not deny that. But you will see how brittle plastic material is, how hard to push volume/power buttons, how flimsy and stretchy silicone inserts, how poorly inner/outer shells interconnect, how flimsy kickstand is, the silicone/plastic gets a blue shade from your jeans pocket, and how poor some of the port openings are. Regarding price of UAG - that's expected when a brand new product is released and there is such a high demand for it, thanks to a great reputation of their S3 cases.

Here's pics of it on the phone itself
