Hey fellas,
Got my hands on another case for the Note II, this time it is the Tridea Italian leather flip case. It is reminiscent of the SGP Valentinus case, although it is much more affordable and not as bulky. It's a folio style case, so it features a front flap to keep your display protected. Unfortunately there is nothing to hold it in place, so it tends to flap around. The ports and cutouts are spot on, however.
Check out the full video review below;
great review
Cheers! Happy to help
do you reccomend this case mate? i would like one with the flip cover to protect the screen, but would also like a case tough enough to protect my phone in case of drops or bumps. it looks like flip covers are all "light" protective, while tough cases are way too bulky or do not provide any protection to the screen (no plastic film protectors for me! i hate them!). thank you a lot!!!
The flap actually isn't a big deal. I've been using a similar case for a week now and unless you have a giant pocket the flap stays shut.
I actually prefer not to have a magnetic or grommet styled securing device.
And let's face it. as for drop protection, these type of cases just don't compare to the UAG or Otterbox cases.

So basically you say that this case goes for style and look and moderate protection, while the others go for enhanced protection, right? Just as I thought... Does it exist a tough case as uag but with a flap or such to cover the screen? I am afraid because of 4 hours of commuting a day... A little bump or sudden train braking may make me drop my phone.. And I wouldn't trust only a plastic film to protect the screen. Holsters like otterbox defender one, on the other hand, are uncomfortable to use while in the crowd and one handed..
Thank you for your suggestion, this case looks superb, but maybe it's not the right thing for me...

I keep hoping for someone to make a UAG with a flip cover.

I just returned the case to Amazon for 2 reasons.
1- The flap was warped - and did not cover the screen right.
2- There is virtually no top or bottom protection - the device is held only on the sides - the top and bottom are naked.
On the plus side - I have'nt seen a product with this good quality - in a long time. It is a really well made case - just not tough and protective enough for my taste.
Im using this one for few months and I like it.

Hello all,
I have a glass-m screen protector and looking to buy the Ballistic Tough Jacket Case Slim Cover Skin.
Just wanted to know ,before I buy the case, if anyone tried using both of them together and had any problem with the case moving or breaking the edges of the glass protector? maybe with other glass protectors?
thanks.

there hard to find cause I'm still looking for one I ordered a tempered glass & came like this in the package (Skinomi Lifetime Warranty) & I ordered 1 from Xtremeguard waiting for it to come in & Zerolemon screen protector but they don't make it for the G4 & iloome had 1 on my Note 3 amazing then got 1 for my Note 4 it just didn't work
From my experience the best cases are Tech21 cause the case absorbs the shock. Have them all on my devices G3 G4 Note 4
you can try them out found them on Facebook I have no experience with them there all-in-one cases meaning case+tempered glass

Case wise i always go for a case that offers good protection while maintaing easy access to all ports. And when it comes to tempered glass screen protectors....... I usually go for whichever one has a good price. Paid 4 dollars for a 2 pack tempered glass protector off ebay and ive had the first one on my phone for about 2 months and no scratches or anything. Still haven't switched it out yet.
I tried xtremeguard glass sp but my phone for whatever reason got very hot. Took the sp off right away
Otter box defender on g2 g3 and g4. All 3 also have had zagg temp glass never broke a phone or screen yet. Im a mechanic so it get heavy abuse grease heavy dust. Ive cracked a few temps no screens. Touch is a little off sometimez. Zagg comes in with one of the thickest i think. Theyre .5 mm thick
I'm using a Caseology one ATM (Great case but a bit slippery on the sides + the outer shell is only plastic which feels cheap as opposed to the Verus case I had for my LG G3). I also use a UAG (The Gray Smoke one). It doesn't add much bulk but add an extra layer of protection, not to mention it looks damn great. It also has a much better grip than my Caseology / Spigen and Verus cases.
As for the tempered glass, make sure there is a cutout for the proximity sensor. Most of them will have that rectangle cutout but a few of them will have circle cutouts for everything (Camera, proximity sensor, etc).

Same situation as you.
UAG case leaves a lot of space for ANY screen protector.
Currently I switched to intelliarmor.
Perfect touch.
Fully stick after a week.
A small opening for earpiece and sensor.
A good buy.
Has anyone tried some new thin cases? The Note 8 is a slim sexy phone. It sucks to put it in a thick bulky case. Show us what y'all have in thin cases.
I bought these 3
The first one was from Best Buy and I like it alot and its the one I use the most. Nothing fancy just a thin case TPU soft in the hands.
The second one I got off of eBay it's blue with a clear acrylic back. Don't get that one the cut out for the finger print scanner is to small. I cut it out some more to make it work. It's a ok case if you don't mind cutting it yourself.
The third one is from Ghostek it's 40 dollars it has a aluminum frame and a acrylic clear back. It's still a little thick for me but a damn well built case. I did not even use it I am going to sell this one.

I've used this on my s7e & Axon 7 and loved it. Bought it for my note 8. Should receive today. It is a thin case. I've dropped my s7e many times on concrete and it survived.

Yeah I had one of these on my V20.
I've bought a few cases across the last week.
I personally prefer the thin fit from spigen
It has a nice slightly rubberised hard finish and the case itself keeps the phone feeling nice and thin
Supports spigen screen protector and the awful glass one I've tried... I'm going to plunge and buy the dome glass protector so here's hoping that fits too

I was looking at that Spigen but I did not like the corners. How they have a crack in them. I thought more dust would get in and not as good drop protection.

It wouldn't be as good as the bigger cases but I don't think it would do that badly... Spigen make good cases.
Yeah the sides I don't really notice.. Its probably one of only types of case out currently like this, the rest are a little bigger and bulky

I have the Spigen Liquid Crystal case and it is pretty good.
However the Samsung Clear Cover Case is far superior and you don't even notice it is there
Something about clear cases that I don't like. On the sides it looks weird. I have a clear one but it's just clear on the back the sides are colored.

It fits with dome glass. Just got done installing mine. Lots of room.
I just bought like 3 more cases. When they get in I will tell yall about them. I have never bought as many cases for a phone in my life. I have been using my phone today without a case. Man it feels good to use this phone without a case. But I know one drop its gone. Also if you keep putting it down the back will get scratched up.

Otterbox symmetry. The best and slim.

Ok here is two more that came in today. Both are so so.
The first on I got off of ebay. They made it sound like the end caps were metal. Which they are not they are cheap looking plastic. But it's ok
The second one I got from Amazon. I like it but don't think it has much drop protection. Thin thin thin.
I got the Spigen Neo Hybrid, I am very happy with it so far. The tpu layer is stiffer than most tpu layers I've used before, which feels nice, and the metal trim, while thin and a bit more pliant than I would prefer, looks great. Fortunately I haven't dropped it, but it feels like it would survive most reasonable falls. It's much thinner than my wife's otter box commuter and only $15 on amazon.
I got the Spigen ultra hybrid crystal clear case, and I live it. Have bought these before, they don't yellow and last a long time. Great for letting my dbrand Dragon skin show !!

I have that one does your finger print scaner work with that case? I had to cut mine out a little.
Hi all
I just bought a Samsung silicone case for note 8 via ebay (knock-off/not made by samsung).
I wonder if theres a real OEM Samsung silicone case for note 8 (maybe in KOREA?), as far as i know samsung didnt release it for note 8 and I know that they only made silicone cases for S8 and S8+.
the case i got feels really good to touch like the Apple iphone silicone cases and the color is really nice also lined with suede but the fitting on the lower right side is pretty bad. lower right side come off the phone really easy, its very loose. also the bottons is hard to press. 6/10
so far i tried 6 cases for my note 8 and this red cheap ebay case is my favorite so far.
(ebay case black and red 9/10 $6 each, white patchworks ITG 8.5/10 $4, ebay Silicone case for note 8 6/10 $13, amazon maxboost hyperpro 8/10 $7 and lumion huey 7/10 $3)
wish they didnt leave the bottom open like suede case ugh smh
