Unboxing - Pretty much straight forward stuff.
Side comparison - Front & Back
Overall look - With handset inside of course
Fit for I9023 - Beginning is a bit rough fit, very tight as the leather is hard, after a sometime it started to follow the shape of the phone. Please note that I9023 couldn't go all the way flushed in the pouch, it leaves about 2 to 3mm protruding out from the pouch, as you can see in the last picture, the speaker hole doesn't sit nicely in the square. I'm pretty sure it fits nicely with I9020.
Coming up next, Nillkin Case..stay tuned

I have it. It is very nice case.

Anywhere to buy this in U.S.? It seems like it's only avail in Europe. So I9020 will fit?

I only see it from Europe or Australia site. I myself got it from hunting on Ebay Spain (thanks to google translate). I just got it this morning. PM me for the link, not sure if it's allowed to post here.
As you can see from the pic, I believed it'll perfectly fit I9020 as the size is a tad smaller than I9023

its a bit to short for the device ?!

Is This The Greatest Note 2 Case Ever?

I've seen and used a number of cases....
Ive seen flip up flip to the side...
I've seen light ones and heavy ones...
I've seen people get excited by cases that make the note 2 look like a tank....
But - Does anything beat this?
Durable
luxurious
Well fitted

Not real leather but just fantastic for the price. Functionwise it is similar with yours. BTW I was also looking for yours but I dont like the red stitching.

Very very cheap that is. Good deal.
I liked the orange stitching. It was slightly different.
It's a bit like the stitching on jeans

They both look nice but I don't like the minimum protection on any of the sides. My Zenus case covers all the sides more, although not completely.

True
90 % of drops will be on the corners or the face I reckon.
Advantage of the OP style is that there is limited bulk added on the side.

Flip Cover Compatible Case?

Recently I've switched over to the S4 from the Note 2 (gave it to my gf). While I was reviewing cases for the S4 I came across Spigen's Flip Mate case. My gf likes using the OEM Flip Cover, but she drops her phone ALOT. She originally had an S3 and that thing took quite a beating (cracked screens, cracked flip covers, etc). Does anyone know if anyone is selling something similar for the Note 2?

This is what you want...

I don't think that's what he means.
an option is to use a protective cover+.
normally it's not very comfortable when you combine it with an original flip cover, but you can cut a small strip off the left side of the TPU part to give the flip cover a bit more room to flip open.

She could get a case like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/B00ATUYE9O?tag=adapas-21 which I was planning on purchasing before I got my extended battery, or she could do what I did previously and get a TPU case (or a case with TPU on the sides like the Samsung Protective Cover+) and cut away the bit that prevents the flip case from moving freely:

the case will still close fine:
and you can still fold the cover all the way back:

Has anyone tried the Otterbox Commuter, or the new Symmetry for the M8?

Just saw today that Otterbox came out with a new line of cases called the Symmetry, it's a cool one-piece that's 2-color but looks like it still offers the same killer Otterbox protection, and also finally has some good colors and/or graphics. Has anyone gotten one yet, or one of the new Commuters for the M8?

I would love to see some pictures of the M8 with this case if anyone has purchased it.

My wife has the Symmetry. I will try and post some pics later today for you guys.
I have the Spigen Slim Armor and the otterbox is a really nice case. It feels a little lighter and I prefer its methods to handling the power button and volume rockers.

Verus LG G4 Case Verge Extra Slim Hybrid Case Review (Leather Compatible)

I got the Verus LG G4 Case Verge Extra Slim Hybrid Case with same day shipping on Amazon to have it ready for my G4.
Goods: Case fit really good and the gold one I got look really nice and elegant. Comes in other styles too.
Cons: For me, it was somewhat slippery and I almost dropped the G4 a few times. Not as slippery probably as a gell back though. But too risky for my liking with such a big and expensive phone. I'm exploring other options now.
But overall its a great looking case if you want something that looks stylish.

Nice case and thanks for the pictures.
I almost opted for the case when it was on slickdeals but decided against the bulk. Phone barely fits in my work slacks as it is. I may still grab one though since they look so good.
