Hello Android fans,
Today, I decided to make a personal review on a wallet style case I really like for use on my Galaxy Note 2.
I'll start by first saying, I have tried several cases, and this was the first time I'd ever actually used a wallet-style case before. But big phones demand alternative measures to hip-holsters that I'm used to.
So, the case I can recommend to people today is from Spigen. The Spigen Valentinus, and here's why:
This case is very smooth, using a thin layer of leather on the outside, filled with padding on the inside and provides great impact support and protection for the phone all around. It also holds up to 4 cards, not the usual 1 to 3 most other wallet cases tended to have. It uses a button snap to keep it closed, so if it does drop, it won't open very easily nor cause interference with a magnet snap.
The inner case that holds the phone is a polycarbon plastic holder which snugs the phone very well. I have yet to see it ever come out without manually removing it, and it does protect all the corners, and exposes a majority of the top and bottom edge of the phone.
The case does of course add some thickness to the phone, but it's smooth, you can comfortably hold it, and wrap the front cover to the back allowing you to use it in your hand, dock it in an iBolt xProDock car dock, and slip it easily into your pocket, and take it out without any issue. The card slots, there's 4 of them, and they are smooth enough to allow you to easily slide out your cards to use them for purchases and such.
The pros:
It's good quality, smooth leather covered over impact padding to give great protection.
Holds 4 cards and has another inside pocket to put even more stuff in, like notes, receipts, etc..
Has a button style snap to keep it closed.
Has a strong polycarbon phone holder inner case.
Exposes, comfortably, the power button, volume rocker, microSD, microphones and earphone jack.
The cons:
When fully filled with plastic credit cards, it presses a bit tightly to the screen. A thermoplastic urethane (like Zagg's invisibleShield) will get indentions from the front cover!
And there you have it.
Hope this helps people,
Psi-Jack

This is a great case. No magnets is a huge boon as they throw both the s-pen and the compass out of whack. I don't why almost every other manufacturer insists on using them, I couldn't find any that were magnet free in local stores. Finally got my hands on a Spigen Illuzion this morning which is basically the same case but synthetic and I'm very pleased with it.

Well you either have no closure, snap closure, magnet closure, or hook and loop closure. By far the sexiest is magnets, but I prefer the snap closure if it's minimal. I don't think I could go with not closure.

This is a personal review based on my own quest to find my new case, I'm not from Spigen. But I will see about getting with Spigen to see if they'd be interested to provide something for it.

I was in a toss up between the Illuzion and the Valentinus, but I went with the Valentinus mainly because of the leather, despite it still being cardboard filled as all consumer "genuine leather" goes. I almost considered making my own, personally, until I saw this.
But, yeah, you are correct. The magnets interfere with a few things, not just the S-Pen, but I believe also the magnetometer in the phone (which Is probably how they got the S-Pen detection to actually work in the first place!)
I checked so many local stores and could never find what I wanted, they were either too cheap and crappy built, or just magnetic. Sure, magnet /looks/ nice, but it won't stay closed on a drop, unless it's a super heavy-duty magnet that you know will just ruin every chance of actually using the phone. hehe

Here is the album of more photos of the case....
https://plus.google.com/photos/1042...ms/5777724988825050929?authkey=CIzz9oGX49azaA
What we have here today is what I got today in the mail. A multi angle leather folio by Anker. See amazon link above for their details. It is $9usd PLUS shipping, depending on where you are. If you are on prime, then more power to ya. LOL
Anyway into the case...
I have to preface, I do not normally buy cases like this for a 7 inch tablet. I was given this to review and just giving it my fair shake....
This case is a good case for $9usd. At this price point you cannot really expect quality like Marware, so please keep that in mind. However, IMO, the fair price for this type of case, I would put it in the $20 range.
Leather...is this leather? Seems like it, but it is very thinly bound to the card stock cover. The stitching is ok, because of the quality of leather, I didn't expect a lot. As for added bulk...it does add as much bulk as my Treegloo case though. But the only thing this case has going for it is the multi-angle viewing ability.
This is done by a snap button found on kids winter coats. Meaning it's a bit bulky, but it does the rotating without a large rotating mechanism. The only negative about this is that the button kind of protrudes out to the backing, in which you can see here.
Now getting this to landscape mode is self explanatory, but using this to read portrait needed a little fiddling. In using the case in portrait, you have to swivel the case and then only the middle and outer groove can be used. If you use the back end groove, the tablet is guaranteed to fall on itself. You can kinda use the outer edge groove, however. And you can use this in portrait AND charge at the same time. Win!
And another thing about this case that I liked is that the case can come apart. Being the rotating mechanism is a button, you can undo it and carry it like a normal case without a front cover, which is nice IMO. A good alternative if you ask me.
Bottom line, would I recommend this case? Well if you are looking for a simple case for under 20 bux, yes. The advantage of multi angle viewing and taking the case apart, makes this worth getting for a backup case.
I guess having a Treegloo as my first case may have spoiled me LOL.
Any questions? Lay 'em on me.
wow, fantastic review.
i just recieved it today, great.
A good alternative I also think.
Just received mine today via USPS.
Likes
Compact
Not a whole bunch more added bulk
Inexpensive
Customer service was a pleasure to work with
Closes with a elastic strap. very journal-esque.
Multiple viewing angles not only in Landscape, but Portrait as well. Very few cases offer this.
Dislikes
Snap/Button built into the rear of the cover treats you to a very un-even form factor.
Didn't like the extra hump made visible by the button
Not very supple. Feels very hard, and edgy.
Sleep/Wake feature did not work consistently. It only worked maybe 2 out of 7 tries.
Decent pick overall, for the money, it provides a great set of viewing angle options.

Won't recommend. Its pretty inferior quality. I ripped mine open just to see what was on the inside. Its literally cheap leather wrapped around a cardboard that's as thin as a cereal box. Very flimsy. And the magnet isn't even located in the correct spot (for sleep/wake)

Actually it is 3 piece. The pics from the seller looks like a 2 piece but it is hard rubber, followed by a hard plastic front and back that snaps together. The finish on the rubber is not the smoothest. It looks like I got a used case. The finish on the hard plastic is okay. I check for roughness and sharpness before I snap it on the phone.
As far as protection, probably as well as an Otterbox, Seido or Trident but the fit and finish on the other cases are probably much better. Going to keep it for now since I need the drop protection. Volume and power port switch works well and the phone is VERY WELL protected. Also once you snap the case in, it is almost impossible to remove as you can see by the coin mark and the fingernail mark on the hard plastic. Thickness is about the same as the Casemate toughcase on my Epic 4G touch.

Thanks for that insightful review. I got the case in yesterday and I ordered it off some seller in Minnesota. I think it's the closest "rugged" case out there for now until otterbox, trident, or ballistic shows up. I can't wait to snap it on my phone when I finally get my pre-order in on friday (assuming Sandy and the new blizzard doesn't affect shipping)
it has a really bad finish :/
it makes your 700$+ phone looks cheap but as you said until something better comes up its a good case
btw from the pictures i can't tell if it covers the notification light or not, any info on that?

Notification light is not covered. You are correct, it is a very rugged case with a rugged finish. I have to wash my hand before eating since the case is probably made in China and the finish on the rubber is so "dull".
So far I have tried:
Samsung original flip cover: Not worth the $32 since it doesn't offer much protection. Thin, Sleek, sexy, well made, but no drop protection.
Samsung TPU protective case: Very nice finish, very thin, a tad slippery, but the rubber around the metal bezel is very tough material. Cons, not enough drop protection for front screen.
Poetic thick cover case: Covers the phone well, good drop protection but having that flip cover makes it a bit awkward to take picture.
I just might pull the trigger on that black Seido Active case if they don't have a color one soon. The Trident Aegis looks very nice and covers all the ports but not available for a while. Good price too at $25.
So far, the only accessory that I like is the LG HBS -730 stereo bluetooth headset. Decent bass once it fits in your ears, nicely laid out controls, voice confirmation on connect and disconnect, connects flawlessly each time. I find myself using the play, track controls often when in the car without the need to take my hands off the steering wheel to mess with the phone when playing music. Phone calls sound very clear to me and the reciever. The only cons is limited range for listening to music.
I had this case
dint like it and on the same day when I was taking it off it got broken
I had paid around 1000 Indian Rupee which is around 20$ including shipping
Have you tried taking it off the phone ?
If you ever need to do so , do it with caution as it may damage your phone (the effort of taking it off)

Yes, and I can confirm that it is a pain in the rear end. Do not attempt this with finger nails because they will break. THIS CASE IS NOT FOR YOU if you like to change case often. It is the hardest case to remove. Just because of that, I would not recommend it. The trick is to use a small flat blade screw driver, not to sharp so that it will pierce thru the hard rubber(pretty tough rubber). See the pictures. You have to pry the bottom cover over where it snaps with the top cover. So stick the screwdriver between the black and red part and pry the red part up and it will detach from the top cover.
Thank you!
I've bought this one, too. Once I attached it to my Note 2, it was well protected. Doesn't look any luxurious, but it does the protective job. Removing the case is a pure nightmare, unfortunately I broke two clips on left side while taking it off. It's still usable, but I won't attach it back again. Wouldn't recommend this case to anyone who will need access the battery, SIM card or memory card.
One more thing. If you're using micro USB charging cradle like I do, it's a no go with this case. It doesn't allow to fit the connector fully. It's fine with the actual micro USB cable, though.
In general, I'd prefer slim solutions likes of 1 piece of TPU (including covering the corners fully) or 2 pieces hard TPU (front and back).
I bought a sedio active , arrived today i like to go with black color n its looking nice on gray note 2

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 picked this up and love it. I actually did away with the little flap and with precision sliced it off. 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.
I bought mine here, but still stuck with the same color posted on the OP.

Fishbone Cover from MyBat:
----------
Available from Amazon.com (search words: fishbone phone protector marquee)
Price: About $6 US ($3 + $3 Shipping)
Materials: Black silicone cover with hard plastic wrap-around insert. Insert comes in multiple colors/graphics.
Pros:
Compact
Secure around phone
Great fit
Multiple colors/graphics options
Rounded-edges design for easy carry
Price
Cons:
None
This cover, while marketed as an LG LS855 (Marquee) case, fits the Optimus Black/P970 perfectly.
The Fishbone cover, although my second LG P970 case/cover, was my first foray into cases for Android phones. It served me well on a Samsung Galaxy Precedent. My young daughter's borrowing the phone (dumb idea) for photos resulted in it being launched across a room; the phone quickly came to a stop that I heard from an adjacent room. Upon inspection, the only damage to the phone was to the case; one of the hard plastic fingers/tabs broke off. The case, while damaged, was still functional. It was well-worth the $6 investment, and I felt no anger about spending $6 for a new cover.
The well-finished cover consists of two parts: a black silicone case that slides over the back and sides of the phone and a hard plastic "backbone" that wraps around and fits into molded recesses in the silicone. This hard plastic piece has fingers extending from a central section; the overall appearance of the piece looks like a spine with a ribcage. The cover can be purchased in a multitude of colors and patterns. When assembled on the phone and laid on its back, the case lays flat and evenly on a level surface.
There are lightly-raised projections on the silicone cover over the power, "G", volume-up, and volume-down buttons. These projections are readily found during operation, yet are fairly low in profile; the projections don't snag in a holster nor inadvertently get activated. There are the standard opening in the cover for the camera, speaker, charger, microphones, and headphones. Some cases have port covers on the openings; this case has none. I never missed not having port covers.
The silicone portion has a thick, raised-ridge around the face of the phone. This ridge helps protect the glass face from scratches when holstering and laying face-down on a surface. Despite a mild bevel on the interior of this ridge, it will occasionally get in the way of the outermost keys in portrait view. I will stress that this is a very minor gripe, and the ridge is flexible enough to lightly slide it out of the way with a finger tip. Maybe it's just my fat fingers.
This cover has been my primary phone cover for nine months and has been pulled out of and put in a leather case many times on a daily basis. The cover fits the case well and the plastic backbone locks everything in place. The back of the case has a rounded contour matching the P970; it feels comfortable in the hand.
I consider the cover's thickness a good balance between protection and carry. For example, the iPhone Otterbox option takes a slim, elegant phone design and makes it boxy and incredibly thick; for the Otterbox, a holster is a must. The Fishbone cover will fit in pockets and the largest holsters. At $6, this is a great value and purchase for any Optimus Black user.
Rating: 5/5 – A solid, durable, and inexpensive phone cover that protects the P970 well.

The owner of purfit design, Emma Leuang, contacted for a review for their wallet case for Galaxy Note 8.
To be honest, i never thought it could this great before i receive it.
The wallet is made of genuine leather (cowhide), Unlike the regular leather, this leather is top grain, a little bit shinny than regular, but the leather smells so good.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced genuine leather wallet case , you might want to check out the this flip wallett. Crafted from what is described as Italianleather, this is undoubtedly a nicely made leather wallet case. It has two card slots and one clear identity card window, as well as a slide pocket for extra cards or cash, and it has a stand function as well. The money slot is a a little bit narrow, so it will secure your card without falling out.
The side magnetic closure works great, it has 2 part magnetic, will give your case a decent close without affect the S-Pen. ( I have tried several cases, the magnetic does make your S-Pen crazy)
Insertion and removal of yourphone is easy, due to the flexible TPU phone compartment. Like nearly all wallet cases of this type, it gets obese quite quickly when very many cards are put into its card slots and doesn’t close all that well, but as long as only a few cards are used, it still closes acceptably.
Overall, this is a nice option for a lower priced leather wallet case. It is currently available for $31 on Amazon and comes in both black and cognac. Many thanks to Emma and her child for sending this sample out to me to review.
BTW, she gives a portion of profit to American Cancer Society,

update, the glass screen protector works on it
wireless charging works too
That's a nice looking case. I've considered getting one like that, to keep something covering my phone when it's in my pocket. I need something to protect the screen and I've learned over the years that I completely suck at putting on screen protectors. I don't even try anymore. So one question I have is, do you think that there's any possibility that the cover could scratch the glass? Ideally I'd like something with a felt interior as I feel that would truly minimize the chances of scratching. I just don't seem to be able to find a decent case that has it.

get a whitestone shell
I was looking at a leather case like this and then I remember the corner drop problem. no protection. I would love a leather case like this if I could take the Note 8 with UAG Monarch installed and then take the Note 8 with the Monarch and put it in a leather case. Best of both worlds.

Not very good advice for someone who admittedly is bad at putting on screen protectors. The Whitestone installation is ridiculously complicated to do right the first time and for 50 bucks they should throw 2 pieces of glass in there. It's the biggest huckle going that people are promoting the Whitestone protectors. They also have horrible CS should you need them.
