Got it at a local AT&T store, you can check stores' inventory on their site.
Thanks for the pictures, any other comments on it?
Also, the price is pretty steep for a case like this. Did you pay full price?

With my experience, the backside of this case will get scuffs and scratches on it big time. Had one for my Infuse and Note 1. I wouldn't recommend it.
....The Case-Mate POP Case - Samsung Galaxy Note® II is similar in size to this one but has a stand and doesn't scuff up. I had one but returned it for another case at AT&T just yesterday.
I like it so far. Adds a decent amount of weight to the phone, not too much bulk.
I like the overall shape of the phone better with it.
Button feel is the best of any case i've used on any phone. Soft but taticle.
thanks. but for for $38 nah. maybe $25

I know what you mean, I had a candyshell years ago and it got scuffed up pretty quick. Why did you return the Case-Mate?
Yeah, I paid full retail... but I work for TMo, so having the discount on my plan makes it OK to splurge on an accessory now and then
I had one of these on my HTC Inspire (2 actually, different colors) I loved it, I will be buying one of these once Speck starts selling them and not just AT&T.
Waiting for different colors. Hurry up Speck. Speck always has discounts so no worries regarding the full price.
In my experience, specks has push candyshell cases out with steep price for a while now. They lost my interests when they release ugly version for iPhone 4 with giant camera cut out. Overall it looks OK but bulky and like many have said too glossy thus scratches can be seen easily. I would rather get a pixel skin HD if it comes out.
I love the look, the protection appears solid but the retail price is too high for my taste. Since I'm a battery swapper is the case easy to remove?

yup. just push from the camera and it pops out.
I found this 25% off accessories coupon on the internet and used it at an AT&T corporate store today. Came out to $31 with tax. It didn't work on their website.

I just got the Dell Streak (craigslist trade - week old Dell Streak for a Nook Color). Really like it! Great all round device (web, media, ereader, etc). Only currently using it as a tablet.
I have only one problem. The case selection is very small, and the leather cases are very expensive.
The only leather cases here that people are recommending are $40-50 dollars or more. The is not the experience I'm used to, since with past phones/devices there have usually been cheap alternatives more in the $25 dollar range (obviously lower quality than a $50 dollar case).
Question: Has anyone had any experience with any of the cheaper alternatives on ebay (or else where) that range from $12 to $25? I've looked around the internet and here for quite a while and have found nothing so far.
I have found a thread about a cheap leather pouch, but this isn't really ideal. I prefer something that is designed for the phone to be used without removal.
Thanks!
Just found this one:

Well, that case at least had one review. I ordered it and should arrive tomorrow. Ill report on build quality.
Received the case and had a few days to use it. It's... ok. The protection is decent. The cut outs for everything are doable, except the camera, the hole is measured pretty poorly. The phone has to be removed from the case for the camera to be used. The cut out for the screen is almost fine, with it cutting off the bottom of the screen slightly if pushed firmly in, but the phone can be shifted ever so slightly up, while still remaining snug in the case. The kickstand works, but when tucked in makes the phone tilt up when laid flat on it's back (the opposite way you want it to tilt a little if there is going to be any tilting).\
So, the case is "ok", and would be fine for an ebay case that cost 8-10 bucks. But for $25 it's not worth it, and it makes more sense to spend $20 more dollars and get one of the really good leather cases... which is what I'm doing. I'm returning it and have a tuff luv case on the way.
Sorry to waste your time.
I'm thinking about getting this leather case or just otterbox case. Probably I'll choose otterbox now.
No worries! It was a good try.
I have this one and it works pretty well.

Has anyone bought/used these before, and do they work? I have an s-line tpu case and wondered if its worth it to upgrade to this. -Ara
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
Amzer is a pretty decent company to buy from, and the skins are somewhat inexpensive. They sent me a few demo items to see if our stores were interested in carrying their Nexus 7 products... The overall fit was pretty snug, the skin seems fairly well made minus the edges which needed a little cleaning up. I didn't have any issues with the skin obstructing any features of the device, and it was easy to slip on and off. Here's a few pictures, hope they help with the decision making:

So just a little more feedback on this silicone skin... I dropped my Nexus 7 while getting out of my Jeep this morning (hands full and in a hurry to get to the office), and the blasted thing landed face down on concrete. If not for this skin I would instead be spending my evening searching for a replacement screen. It's by no means an otterbox, but the fact that it covers around the screen saved it.
Definitely give it two thumbs up!
Amzer silicone case
I got the black one bought at Expansys.com. It feels great, very thick rubber with a leather-like texture, reinforced with the x-shaped, thicker rubber piece in the middle that serves as an outer skeleton and adds extra rigidity. The case wraps around of all of the device without obstructing any holes/ports similarly to an otterbox impact cases.The edges serve the protective purpose. There is nothing wrong with them. They are spaced out more like the protruding edges of balistic cases. I feel confident that if my Nexus falls it will bounce off without any damage due to the case design. I store my Nexus when not in use in the bag inside a Case Logic Eva zippered case for additional screen protection.
We just reviewed one here at the office and the case does a pretty decent job. Not expensive either, so, I'd say worth the purchase.

This needs a bump, I ordered one from amazon.. and it was crap to say the least. I contacted Amzer and even though i ordered from a third party seller they offered to replace it for me for FREE! gotta love customer service! Other than that its a great case. :good:
Nice case!
I have the black one ordered from amazon as well.. It came in very quick . I agree this will protect the device from most bumps and bangs. this is the 3rd case i bought .
I am going to sell all 3 on ebay for a good price if i decide against buying another nexus 7.. not made my mind up. sent two back not sure i wanna deal with the hassles of google device support to order another..
anyway GREAT CASE for the money..
I ordered this case off ebay as well and it was shipped from California. I believe it was $10 with free shipping.

The case comes with these extended bumper corners which make holding the phone easier and provides extra protection from the Left Corner Drop of Doom. The weakest point of the case is the kickstand. The kickstand is flimsy and does not have a positive lock in place or a strong hinge when opened. the volume keys as well as the power key are covered. The charging port as well as the earphone jack are left exposed. The black rubber is harder than the standard TPU but not as hard as the white plastic that it is attached to.
All in all its a nice case

Nice case..found it too, with so many color variations..but they wont ship here..huhu..thanx for the review..
not a big fan at all, looks horrible!
Makes it look like the size of the Ziggy device on Quantum Leap show.
Well......
Im not sure how it makes the phone look bigger because the case isnt pictured with the phone in it.
Anyways I was in Sprint looking to see if they had gotten in either of my two favorites which are otterbox or ballistic and they hadnt. There was an older than me gentle man who was looking for a case for his phone and they had none and he said he was affraid he was going to break it. I explained that I understood seeing how my first one lasted 20hrs. I reached in my back pocket and gave him the case. He wanted to pay me for it but I told him it wasnt necessary and wished him a happy holiday season. He seemed a bit confused as well as the Sprint employees wonder why I was asking about a case when I am just pulling them out of my pocket giving them away like toys from Santa's bag. I think giving away an $8 freely shipped case to someone who will appreciate the act and may recipicate an act of kindnes to someone else this season is worth the small investment.
I have this exact case as well. It makes the phone too big for breast pockets, but still fine for pants pockets and carrying. I plan on only using it for when I need protection, but not as a daily driver. For the price, you can't beat it.
Ordered the same case. Do you have pics of the phone in it?
I have this case i think it feel really good in the Hand and looks good too. CLICK on the Link to see the Pictures

Agreed, but the TPU is a lot more stiff. Not certain but I would venture to guess these cases wouldn't do as well in drop tests.

Do you have that case? Wonder if it fits the att note 2 I have
The polycarbonate clear shells look good new but they get scuffed real easily
Cool! Nice thing about plastic is that if it gets scratched you can buff it out and repolish, right? I'd miss my kickstand, though.
Sadly no brand name just a plastic cover. Even the store said its just a chineese case not a brand. I like it so much as its totally clear not frosted and even the lip is tpu clear raised to protected the screen and all of all its only 5 dollars.
And yes plastic scuffes easy but not visible.

It looks great!
Nice

Looks like a scratch magnet to me.
There is an all clear one on Amazon but it's not $5
That's a nice case that shows off the beautiful design and color. However, you should know that hard plastic may etch into your $250 phone.
I like the look of these cases but I've seen them yellow and that's my concern.

Soap and water
looks damn good. been looking for one that is like this online
I ended up grabbing this clear case off of amazon to go with some skins I purchased. It's just a hard plastic case and for ~$8 it makes me feel a bit safer. The fit is great (although I do have a skin that adds some, albeit very little, width) and when it's snapped on it is ON. It's mainly to tide me over until I find a great place to buy some custom cases but I have no complaints for the moment.
Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?
Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!
