Galaxy Note 2 Flip Case Review

I bought it from mobilefun's website. I have owned flip covers for Note 1, Galaxy S3 and this is, by far the best. Samsung must have listened to the myriad complaints revolving around the whole flip cover thing and improved the quality remarkably.

(+) Looks lovely
(+) Matches the grey metallic finish of the Note 2.
(+) Adds little weight
(+) Flap's quality has increased like 10x times as compared to the Note 1's flip cover's flip.
(+) Protects the big screen
(+) You do not need to use screen protector anymore
(+) Replaces back cover of Note 2 and thus adds little to overall thickness.
(+) White Note 2s can enjoy the contrast it produces
(-) Expensive. Should be cheaper.
(-) It is more about adding class and style to your phone rather than adding protection.
I have posted a detailed review on my site too. You can read it here.

Looks good! Cant wait to get mine!!! My note 2 is "naked" at the moment. We'll I have to get an screen protector while I'm waiting for the cover.
Does it add much to the thickness of the note? Love how thin it is atm though

The flap adds ~1mm thickness.
One thing I forgot to mention above - the case is NFC compatible

As for S3 the side peel within day one.
Does the side of Note 2 flip cover feels like it too?

Quality of S3's flip cover was pretty good. May be you got a lemon.
Flip cover for first generation Note was terrible.
Quality of Note 2 is pretty good. No complaints so far.

I received mine from here http://www.bmcdigital.co.uk/catalog...ack-flip-cover-for-n7100-note-2-ii-efc1j9fseg
Its quite a bit cheaper than elsewhere in the UK £20.95 and the white one is a couple of pounds more.
Quality cover i am really pleased with it.

Does the cover protect the camera lense? In other words, is it thick enough so that when I place the phone on its back, the lense is not touching the table?

Ordered genuine flip cover silver for 12euros. Will get tomorrow

in euros it is ~13 so i think it is pretty cheap ;D

I'm using this as my temporary case until my TPU cases come. For me the main purpose of a case is to cover up the chrome border that is bound to get scratched and this case doesn't do that.

I like my flip case as well.. i just ordered a case from samsung site along with a dock as well...
Will also get a case with a kickstand once they are out!

how is the quality of the back cover on this flip case compared to the stock cover? My stock cover is flimsy and squeaks already

thank you for the review, i was thinking about picking one up.

Could any post pictures of the backside/give a little description of it?
I know the Leather Flip for the OG Note had a texture to it which I quite liked and I remember seeing that the White version of the Flip Cover for the GN2 has a bit of texture.

I am now seeing these available on the Samsung US site along with the hard protective cases. Several colors of the hard, gray or light blue in the flip. I ordered a white protective case without issue. (Pending timely arrival of course )
I'm too new to post links, sorry.

MOD EDIT

You can buy these in the US at Sprint. To answer some of your questions:
It replaces the phone back and has the incorporated nfc.
It does not add any protection for the camera lens.
I close mine when talking on the phone to stop getting facial oil on my screen. Always hated that.
Its true it doesnt protect the edges at all, but no one buying this is doing so for edge protection. I have seen diy case modifications that people have done to use this case in conjunction with a bumper case. Just adds to the bulk.
I believe this is an outstanding case for those of us who baby their phones. Its not for the irresponsible note owner as it provides zero shock protection. I use this case in conjunction with a suction cup ball that sticks to the back for a kickstand when needed. Love it, this flip case makes the note look even classier

[review] Deluxe Leather Card Stand Flip Wallet Case

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.

anyone like to go naked?

well after searching for a case, my search is over.. i just came to conclusion that i cant stand cases... i will go naked, anyone else naked? if so how are you standing any scratches?
i just love the nude feeling of my phone. no better feeling imo.

Yes but I am protecting it. Its too elegant. I cant leave it without a case until i go to sleep where I spend 1-3 hours using the phone then I take the phone off the case. But when I am at work or going out, it has to be in a case !

I NEVER use a cover OR screen protector on my phones. Modern phones are hard wearing enough to not need one. Even without a screen protector, my One XL never had a screen scratch even after a year.
Cases are ugly, make the phone bulkier and hide the HTC build goodness. Screen protectors ruin the feel and look of the display.

Agreed, everyone bangs on about the build quality and one of the reasons this phone is better than the s4 is because the galaxy is crappy plastic and the one is stunning aluminum but then cover their one in crappy plastic or leather anyway! I bought the double dip case and used it for a day, spoilt the phone. Unless you work on a building site then leave alone and enjoy your phone. If you're that worried you can get insurance for next to nothing, in fact, a lot of back accounts give you insurance for free!

I'm waiting for Beyza to release a slim leather pouch for the HTC One. I emailed them but they said nothing was in the works yet.

I've never used screen protectors or anything like that but I personally like pouches as they allow you to transport the phone with decent protection and when you use it you get to appreciate it in all its glory. I've always wondered why you would add a piece of cheapish plastic in front of a nice screen anyway.
I haven't got my HTC One yet but am planning on ordering one of these

I'm not going to use a case. I've had cases for previous phones, but I always took them off after a few days because I hate them. So I will go with a leather pouch again just like I always have

You might need it to protect the cheapish plastic on the back of the phone!! lol

Used to have a pouch only policy until I damaged my One X, this time ill try an easy to pull out transparent cover
There is something relieving about covers, you just use your phone without focusing too much but yea I would go with the most thin/transparent/easy to remove cover
Shame about the official double flip, its really nice but not of good quality

Didn't use a cover on my Sensation and it's still in pristine conditions after 2 years. No reason to use a cover if you keep it in your pocket and don't use your phone in disaster zones!

The only reason I've bought a case for my Sensation was because my Clingo car mount was starting to rip the plastic bits from its back.
Considered going naked with it, but eventually I caved in and ordered myself a Spigen Ultra Thin Air.
It comes with a screen protector too, but I don't use these.
When at home it's going to be naked, unless my little sister would be playing with it at that moment.

I've tried cases with several phones I've owned and they never last more than a week or two. Don't plan on buying one for the One. I'm sure I'll regret it someday, but that's what equipment coverage is for!

The problem with the spigen is that its built from hard plastic, too tight for the device and also will most likely break on fall, I prefer the slim Xlevis transparent rubber case looks better as well (posted photos on mega thread)

Same here. My Sensation has been used caseless for two years and its still fine. I've flung it onto a footpath, dropped it many times, placed it in pockets with coins etc and it remarkably robust. I loved the utilitarian design of the Senny. A rubber back for grip, recessed screen. It's been brilliant. The screen has a few sleeks on it, but no scratches.
I wonder how the ONE will fare if treated the same
Pah!

I am loving the feel of my phone. Part of me is thinking of just getting a bumper for it.
Sent from my HTC One using XDA Premium HD app

I've never used a case on any of my phones though I do understand why some people might need to (kids/work environment etc).

i went naked with my HTC evo 3d but when i held the One it felt to slippery and it was to easy for it to slide out of hoodie pockets and stuff so i bought one only for the grip/slip factor

Zomgo Thin Metal Cases

Anyone have any experience with these cases? I just ordered one off e-bay and it seems that the back cover replaces the battery cover and has a very slim fitting aluminum bumper around the sides. Seems very sleek.

Guys
Bought this case from ebay, took 12 days to get delivered , was using it for a week now, it did turn heads at my workplace as it definitely changed the look of the device.
Sadly today I dropped my phone and the case just bent out of shape. The good part is the phone survived, but the case is
a total mess , the back cover is fine it is the thin rim around the sides of the phone that took the brunt of the fall and got twisted
out of shape..
so my advice would be , if you are a very careful user and keep the phone in a pouch then go for this case..
also I did notice a small drop in signal especially when I am inside buildings.
one more update - this case comes with a small additional metal piece that can be struck to the back of the stylus which helps in easy removal of stylus.
The way this attaches to the stylus back is by a 2 way adhesive sticker. when I tried to remove this piece the metal plating on the stylus peeled off as the adhesive was quite strong.

I'm so sorry to hear that I guess that's the downside of having metal cases.
Thanks so much for the information on stylus attachment, I'm really looking forward to this now! When I went to the website they added new picture of the stylus attachment, in case anybody was wondering.

Do you think you will be able to post that youtube video today?

I just received this case and in my opinion it's not that great for me. It does look really good and makes phone feel solid but it's interfering with the signal too much for me. Perhaps it's due to my low signal location too.
With the case on I definitely lost a bar of signal and data speed went down dramatically, sometimes I couldn't even load up the web page. This was only tested inside of home, and I'm sure it wouldn't be so bad outside and where T-Mobile has strong signal but I can't have this kind of unreliable connection whenever I'm inside of any building. T-Mobile already sucks with signal getting through buildings and this case only increases that problem. (As all metal cases do, I just didn't think it would be this bad =()
If you are interested in this case message me, your experiences with this case might be different than mine, we can work something out. I have black one at the moment but silver one coming too... I should have waited before ordering another one...
Update: both cases spoken for, ty!

Put some pics up in the post your case thread. Purchased mine from the ebay link above. Loving mine so far. Sucks for the guy above with this case on TMobile because it is a very nice case. A nice change from all the otterbox n tpus everyone I know has. I actually havent had any problems so far. But that has had primarily to do with the fact that Verizon coverage here where Im from is top notch . GPS locks on fine to. So like I said in the other thread ymmv. Also, the package came with a screen protector which is cool.

yep, thats why i have to go with otterbox... hoping lifeproof will kicka$$,,ordered the otterbox symmetry and the alpha otterglass,75$ is better than my godd$%#n phone cracked

I guess i was overconfident after watching all those drop test videos, anyways i ordered the replacement screen that was posted and will replace it myself which seems easy.

Usually never rock cases on my phones but when I heard this phone was gonna have a glass back and after owning an iPhone that had a cracked glass back due to a drop I ordered a case for my S6 when I got home from T-Mobile lol.
Got a Spigen Ultra Hybrid case on the phone. Slim, clear, cheap and offers a fair bit more protection. Not bulky at all like some of those otterbox cases which are just too much for me.

A metal back ? Where do they sell those lol.

Try to avoid too much metal on the case if you want good reception, also a metal case would pretty much nix wireless charging for you if you use that.

I don't know if the S6 is that different in terms of the wireless radio signal's penetrating power, but my iPhone 4's glass back was broken and replaced with a metal back piece and worked fine.

I think the bigger problem is that your screen is painted over in white and also has a camera/heart rate monitor in the middle of it. The back of your phone is not the screen!:good:

+1 Besides all that a hard plastic shell protects much better than metal. Ill never under stand the want for "premium" builds, they just crack, dent and conduct electricity better. I have seen more cracked and dented premium built iphones than all android phones put together. Seriously everybody I know who has a iphone has had a damaged iphone at one time. Im getting a case on this phone the second I get it which pretty much makes that premium build nothing but a bragging right. That is a stupid thing to brag about if you ask me.

It is called "glass." Corning did not break his phone. We're his phone made of normal glass, the results would have been worse.

Luckily, T-mobile forces you to get jump for the first month. You're out $175, but at least you can get a new phone.

The glass is very strong.
The problem with glass is the stronger you make it by tempering the more likely it will fail, sometimes explosively, when that "pent up" tension is suddenly released! How does it happen? All it takes is a strike or stress to the edge. Strikes to the face with blunt objects won't do it. It can take an incredible amount of abuse. So how do you prevent this from happening? A case, even a thin one, will work wonders. When it's dropped even a thin TPU will absorb this sharp shock that the glass would receive when struck on its edge. Of course a face down drop onto gravel allowing a stone to strike the glass on the edge will still cause it to break when it hits right. And Mister Murphy will ensure this just as a cat always lands on its feet...
Even a bumper will offer protection from edge impacts. Unfortunately you have to cover things up for a more rounded real life solution.

Sorry boutcha bro.. Case it up. I ordered the Case Mate clear case that T-Mobile has in store at $34.99 for $18 on Amazon. Got it today and its like its not even on, super thin and clear with metal buttons. I HIGHLY recommend it. At least it's SUPER EASY to replace the back cover, like 5 minutes if that..
