looks interesting.
This Chinese site is selling a very similar case, http://item.taobao.com/item.htm?spm=a230r.1.10.21&id=15517337960&_u=6b7pna66f1 more color selection and half the price.. wish i am in China now..
anyone got a similar case and can provide a brief review?
It looks cheap and plasticy in the close up pictures.
Was just thinking about getting this case. I am worried about the thickness. It doesn't not list anything. If anyone decides to get this case a review would be greatly appreciated.

I just purchased this last night. I'll post a review once it arrives.
Annoying when the product name says "Leather" and it's actually fake leather. Not that I expected the real thing for that price but it stinks of false advertising. Wish they had one like this in real leather, I like the design.

I received this case in the mail today. Below is my initial review.
Pros:
Thin
Doesn't cover the front bezel
Sleep function
Magnetic closure
Cons:
Sleep function is triggered if the cover is folded all of the way back
No micro-fiber type lining
I picked up this case because I was looking for a smart cover which didn't cover the front bezel of the Nexus 7. This case does the trick. The case fits the Nexus 7 perfectly while adding what I feel to be minimal bulk. While I don't think I will be using this case as a stand very often, it seems to do the job there too. The Nexus 7 felt quite stable when using the stand function and generally required a decent shove to make it tip over. The inclusion of the magnetic closure is nice so that the cover doesn't come open when placing in a bag for travel. All buttons and ports are exposed, and the holes in the back of the case line up well with the speaker.
My only concerns with the case are very minor. It would be nice if the inside of the case has some type of micro-fiber style lining, although I don't think this is a huge issue since I have a screen protector on my Nexus 7 anyway. I did find that if I fold the front flap all of the way back so that is is flat against the back of the case, that the magnet triggers the sleep function on the Nexus 7. I found that I can avoid this issue by leaving a slight gap on the left-hand side when folding the cover back.
Overall I am very pleased with my purchase and am glad I didn't have to wait any longer to find a good slim case for the Nexus 7.
I just saw a youtube video of this case today. Was thinking of getting one. Let me see if I can find the video.

It's the same case as the one in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1823702
I have one and it's fine, it does its job and is very unobtrusive. It definitely doesn't feel as nice as a Blurex/moko/etc type folio case though.

It looks like the same case. Its not a high-end case by any means, but it does the job well for the price. So far I haven't seen any I like better.
Been waiting a while to get this and it has finally arrived and the review is done.

It does look interesting. You mentioned a link in your review, but I didn't see one. Where did you get it? I did a search and didn't come up with anything. Do you think the magnetism will be a problem? I always wonder about that.
Thanks for all the case reviews! This one does look interesting..
Not bad, a TPU case with front protection, stand, and very thin. I am always worried about dropping it face first with a TPU case and this one solves that problem. But does the magnet interfere with GPS, S Pen?
yeah...nice looking case...but can't find it anywhere online for buying it....

Nice case. It would be even better if it came with an integral back cover like the Samsung flip case so it would be even thinner.

After a closer look I have noticed that the Momax case is actually different from the Benks case.
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/momax-the-core-smart-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-black-p37081.htm
I am now wondering if the stand of the Benks case can also be used in portrait mode as the Momax case.
all of the magnets are going to affect the s pens use as well as possibly damage your memory card
I recently got the brown Momax case, and after experimenting with it, there does NOT appear to be any effect on the S-Pen from the magnets in the case. This is after tinkering under a variety of circumstances. Overall I'd say I'm very happy with this case because it does not add bulk to my already large Note 2, and it uses a clever design to enable the device to stand on its own. I would definitely recommend it.

Hey,
can you easily flip the cover all the way back? In the case of typing, chatting, writing is it a problem having the cover hanging around when one-handed? does the cover wiggle too much?
Love this case and I have checked the youtube reviews (Olis4, Himesh123456789, Milkerz5) but they don't show the cover flipping all the way to the back... :/
Thanks in advance...
That's pretty clever - too bad the TPU case color doesn't come in black.
- Frank
I am considering buying this case, but I'm not sure about the magnets.
Do they interfere with the compass or the S-Pen when the flap is wide open or fully folded backwards (not in a stand position)?
Also, how is one-hand operation with this case on?
It's annoying funny how all the reviews omit such important aspects and only tell us about the design...

Sorry for the delay, I did not receive an email that someone replied here until just now. Anyways, yes, the cover flips all the way back to essentially become flat. I didn't have an issue with the cover hanging during one-handed operation. It didn't really wiggle too much either since the phone is secured on the back part of the case pretty nicely. It was my daily driver over Samsung's case for the phone. :good:
As to the magnets, I did not experience any interference although I have to admit that my use of the S-Pen was light. Tinkering and testing when I first got the case showed that there was no magnetic interference though. To expand on my level of one-handed operation - I have smaller hands and did not have an issue with the case. I would typically read Kindle on there and hold it in my left hand, my fingers would come around to the right side of the screen, and I was able to turn pages no problem. I never typed one-handed though, and I always type in portrait mode.
Hope this helps!
Thanks for the reply, it's very helpful.
How about the compass? Do you notice any significant deviation when the case is on w/ the flap in various positions vs when the case is off? For example, I would expect that the deviation (if any) is smaller when the flap is opened at 180 degrees, since the magnets are farther away from the phone, than in a fully folded position.
I'm finding myself using the navigation increasingly often, so it's important to have accurate sensor readings.
Again, thanks a bunch!
I would think that navigation software using gps signal only.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I think that the compass is used in pedestrian navigation (which I use), when you turn around in a spot. How else would it know the heading?
I too am interested in a definitive answer in how much the magnet effects spen and the compass.
I've also been looking at the zenus cases which don't use a magnet, but I'm unsure whether it can hold the phone up like a kickstand and it's a lot of money to gamble on if it doesn't.
Hey guys! Made a quick video review of a new case I just got in today. It's like Samsung's Flip Case, but with some added protection and a magnet that keeps it from moving and opening up when you don't want it to. Definitely recommend it!
Sorry for the random black spots during transitions, still new to this! I also need a DSLR camera and better tripod, haha.

Does the back feel cheap at all? I'm kind of a branding snob. Does the generic look take away from the quality? How does the hinge hold up when you fold the top back? Does it fold back completely and easily?
Does the magnet cause s pen issues?

Nope, the magnet is to the side of the screen, so no interference at all. And the link to do the case is in the info on youtube. Just click to expand. I'll post it on here soon, too.
One issue, though, is it can be a bit difficult to grab the Spen, so if you use it often, that could be an annoyance.

I have exactly the same case, but I would not call it luxury, either from the price (I paid $7 on ebay) or the quality.
OP's case does looks nicer and more premium than my similar case, mine even has Samsung on the metal magnet clip on the cover, but looks and feels like total crap, tossed it to the trash can as soon as I got it.
I'm currently waiting for Amigo flip case, looks super nice from the pic, no magnet though.

There's a few other listings of "luxury" cases
that look similar but aren't the same. If it I'd the same though, I guess it could be a matter of personal preference? I personally love the soft, textured feel of the case. Feels quite nice to hold.

The only complaint with the magnet I have is that it's blue, lol. Figured it'd match the rest. Luckily it's my favorite color.

I have the same case as the OP and didn't notice until watching his video that the blue on the latch is only protective tape. I peeled it off and now it's a nice stainless/chrome look.
I can only grab the S-Pen with my little fingernail, but it should be easy enough to cut/file/Dremel the slot a little bigger if it's enough of a problem.

Useful review. Case looks nice, but sadly, once again they forgot to have a cutout for the notification LED. I'd also prefer cutouts for better access to the volume buttons, as I use those a lot as shortcuts and when playing audio (with cases closed).
Most (or all cases ignore this however, especially the LED hole). And it should have a larger SPen cutout like this one. But looks ok for the price.

I agree, having that would be very nice. I may have my dad just got one out himself, actually. I mean sometimes its nice cause I don't always like to see if I have a notification, but for that I could just turn the case over. And with the cover I wouldn't have to worry about getting any scratches.

Quick question to the OP and the other person who owns this case. What type of corner protection does this offer? What material is used for the part that holds onto the phone? Is it a hard plastic like PC or is it a softer Silicone/TPU type material?

Mine is plain hard plastic. Part of one corner is gone due to a drop from less than two feet.
Owned this for 2 weeks until it started affecting the spen area around the magnet. no biggie if you dont use the spen just something to consider.
I am always looking for the perfect kickstand case. To me the perfect case is one that steadily stands the phone in landscape as well as portrait position. It is also important it fits in my front shirt pocket and is fairly easy to get it in and out of the pocket. I have tried several, but the one listed below is my new favorite. It is the thinnest I have tried and is one piece made of hard plastic and goes on easily and is a very good fit with all cutouts properly aligned. It has a nice patterned grip feature on one side so if you hold your phone with your left hand, your fingers will grip these. The kickstand is the best I have used. It is the wide kickstand measuring about 1.25" at its base for a very sturdy platform in portrait mode. The only cons so far are minor, the on/off button and volume rocker are covered and a little hard to press. Also the space between the stand and its brace is small and my finger does not fit in, so it is not as easy to use as a holder as the others I have used. As you can see the price is very reasonable and it also comes with a generic screen protector, a cloth and a generic touchscreen stylus pen. So far it is my favorite.

That Yoobao case looks pretty good but when I first saw it, I was worried that the rotating thing would scrape against the phone's back panel. Does it?
I just got it in today. It doesn't touch the back of the phone. There's about a good millimeter or two between the phone and the rotating thing.

Does the kickstand on the Yoobao case also allow it to stand in portrait?
yep. that's actually why I bought it since it doubles up as portrait/landscape stand. the one problem is that it's a little wobbly. You have to adjust it a littlest bit. they could've remedied this by making it a bit wider.
do you think yoobao case rotating kick-stand disk will wear off after awhile? I mean constant rotation with whatever locking mechanism they use to keep it steady will wear off since it's all plastic stuff. But at the same time it can make for a neat fly-grip attachment Can you stick your finger under/inside?
If you have some time in your hands go to best buy and try this case. You wont regret it.

That's actually an re-branded SEIDIO Surface case.
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung...e-metal-ks-combo-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgt2k-bk.htm
I have the Best Buy "Platinum Series" one here myself. It is a good case overall.
Pros: Very solid feel in your hands. Has a nice soft felt like material on the inside to offer extra protection. The kickstand works pretty well and offers a good angle for the Note 2 when in use. Very durable protection. Easy to install as its a two piece set for the case that clicks in place. The holster piece that comes with it is pretty durable as well and the belt clip is pretty nice as well.
Cons: Hard and I mean HARD to take the dang thing off. This could be a big deal killer for those who need to say swap out their battery/sd card/sim card or whatever often.
Certainly a good case but not without that one con that really be a deal killer for some.

I have this case too and I found that if you take a knife not sharp, more like the butter knife and insert it just off-center in the back "cut" where it snaps the 2 pieces in place, then "twist" the knife (very little twist), you hear a "snap" and now the 2 pieces will come off very easy. I was strugling with it too, but now it's a "snap" to take it off...lol...
there's a youtube video for the seido surface that explains a much easier way to take it off...so i assume it would work for this case as well.

It's a great case. But, as you mentioned, I wouldn't recommend one for people who chance their battery regularly. I stopped using mine when I started to see scratches on the edge of the sides of my phone. The case staves the phone when sliding it on and off.

I have tried both of those and I like the one I started this thread about much better. The kickstand is sturdier, it is much thinner, easier to get on and off and in my opinion nicer looking.
Cruzerlite makes a case with a kickstand built into the back of the case and its pretty sturdy with multiple colors. Check out Amazon, only about $25.
hey there guys I'm looking for a case for my samsung Verizon Galaxy Note 2. looking for one that fits the stock battery as well as one that fits the extended battery.trying to find with a kickstand is proving difficult.I don't want a folio or one that closes like a book I want that had the screen open all the time. also need it to be able to go in and out of my pocket easy without catching, smooth if you will but still has some grip. a tall order I know I've looked quite a bit any help is much appreciated.
The seidio surface looks like the thinnest case with a kickstand but I'm just judging by looking online.
You could look into the flygrip too. I have it and it's actually a lot thinner then I thought it would be. I love it, it makes one handed operation so much easier and it doubles as a kickstand you can use in portrait or landscape. Plus you can attach it to any case.

+1 for the Seidio surface case. Good protection, hardly adds any bulk at all, and it does have a kickstand. I usually use the active cases on my phones, but the note 2 being as big as it is, I didn't want to add that much bulk. So far very happy with the surface case. (And I've dropped it a few times, holds up very well.)
Another vote for the surface. I love the look and feel of mine. The only thing to note is that it may push up your screen protector if you have one. I had to trim mine with an exacto knife before I applied it once the surface was on. Now I'm looking at the vitreo as a new surface protector as that'll fit with the surface as is.
I ordered this case. Will let you know how it is.

I am using this case now. It is good, but too slippery and the kickstand is wearing quickly (starting to fall out of the case occasionally). But not too bulky, and decent protection..

+1 for the Seidio surface case. Good protection, hardly adds any bulk at all, and it does have a kickstand. I usually use the active cases on my phones, but the note 2 being as big as it is, I didn't want to add that much bulk. So far very happy with the surface case. (And I've dropped it a few times, holds up very well.)

I have that exact case too. After a while the kickstand did start to fall out of the case but i found out it was because the tiny (and I mean tiny) bump that they consider a latch had broken off. So I just dabbed a little super glue and it fits just fine.
It does get a little slippery at times, but I like that the kickstand is pretty sturdy on portrait mode. You don't often see a kickstand that is sturdy and doesn't topple the phone when you press on it.

So far this is the thinnest case I've seen with a kick stand. A member posted this case on "Post a picture of your case along with your Note 2" thread. He said that he bought it from China. I've been looking for this case online but can't seem to find it anywhere.

I have found the snap tail case to be the thinnest kickstand case that will stand the Note up in both vertical and horizontal.

I do not believe slim and kick stand goes hand in hand but again some cases are close to being called slim for sure

Agreed. Before getting the ZL battery, I tried a couple of kickstand cases and the thinner cases have thin kickstands.

I purchased the Seidio case with the kickstand. I've used their cases for quite some time simply because they have such a low profile and it's easy to remove the battery. My wife has the Otterbox on her Note II, but only because she doesn't know how to hold on to her device and has already shattered one Note II. The protection you get from the Otterbox is nice, but I really prefer the smaller footprint of the Seidio. Also, the kickstand works terrific.

I have the Sedio Surface case and I liked the kickstand on that a lot, but I did have one gripe. After having to take out my battery a few times I noticed the case didn't stay together very well. Sometimes the case would actually come apart in my pocket when I went to grab it from my pocket. I did find sticking some thin paper between the case and the phone helped with it coming apart often though. If you don't find yourself taking off your case a lot it might be a good case.
