I've got the same one. Nothing says MAN like tires and leather. Besides, its a good tradoff between protective and slim.

I have to agree, I was at the store comparing this and the Otterbox and I just couldn't justify the bulk of the otterbox so I got this case and so far I like it. Actually makes the phone feel better and more rounded and I don't press the volume button all the time like I was doing without the case.

looks not thin，but i think very good for protection

I got this case as well, I like it. Tight fit, doesn't add that much bulk and the leather is a nice touch.

Side effect of this case that I didn't realize until I was in my car is the headphone jack area Might be too small for certain headphone jack accessories to go in. Hence why I had to return the case. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake on all the cases. Shall have to wait and see.

I have this case and love it. The above is true but i use wireless headphones. For my car to plug into the aux input i found a cable from radio shack that has a very slim profile and works great with the case.
I wouldnt hesitate to give it a try. It looks far better on the phone than it does in the packaging.

They must have changed the headphone port. Mine case has a more than adequate hole. I can't imagine any headset plug large enough to interfere. If it does, just drill out the hole.

I got a black one like this when I got my Vivid. However, I found the power button hard to turn on and off. The case covers the button (and the volume rocker as well) with a "flexible" covering (see third picture of top). It took some pressure to make the button work.
After a few weeks, I got a Raider case from Amazon for $4. The power button is exposed, but it is much easier to turn on and off.

I think I posted somewhere but this is what I did, cut around the power button about a half, it's so much easier now.

This case is quite nice once you make a slight incision around the power button. I personally used an xacto knife and made one incision at the further indented area where the back's 45 degree meets the power button. That will provide plenty of give and would be invisible to the eye.

I actually used a heated paperclip, so the crack/cut won't extend further.

They are selling for $5 on both Amazon and AT&T sites right now.
I like the looks of the brown leather, but not the black so much. Anyone know where to get one that isn't black? Even the brown ones seem to be listed as black. Kinda confusing.

Warning on the flip cases (mint)

So I bought the two pack of flip cases 5 days ago and the one ive used for five days is already turning that gross brown/black color around the inside edges and the little piece that covers the volume rocker

. Still works fine still looks good but I imagine itll get worse quick so if your ocd like I am about these things just a fair warning.
Edit: was told its a defective case I recieved and I was given a new one. New one started showing the same wear after two days. Id avoid this color

What particular flip case was this? Is this the OEM from Samsung or a 3rd party one? 5 days is too short to start developing marks like that, if ever.

Eww...glad I didn't use my flip cover yet. The protective cover with the phone in a pouch is the best combination in my opinion, :good:

You can probably send the email to Product Support (that being an official Samsung Product). There's even a LiveTalk option.
http://www.samsung.com/us/support/contact
Let us know what they tell you.

Well I talked to them on live support thought i was getting somewhere and then got a message please call 18007570280 for accessory support. I'll call in a bit. But I can't believe it got this bad in only five days
Edit: I actually do use a pouch pretty often

Rule of thumb. If you are OCD about the appearance of your case don't buy a white case.
Sent from my SPH-L900 using Tapatalk 2

I've used a white flipcase since they were available. No discoloration for me at all. Mine has stayed very clean and like new. Carry it in my pocket everyday. And use it lots at work and home.

Already having issues. I believe its because the inside of the case is also green everywhere that gets the least bit moist (sweaty palms) discolors almost instantly. I just tried to clean a little spot and it turned gray as soon as it got touched

Do you feel like there's not enough lip at the back and it will scratch the camera lens? I have a back protector so I am not worried about the cover but the screen worries me a bit.

I just got mine and it looks great. Be careful trying to figure out how to get your phone in there. The metal frame slides out from the bottom piece. Cheap korean packaging with no instructions or even a picture diagram.
The bumper itself is a good bumper however I notice it degrading my signal for both wifi and cellular... So if you notice your phone dying faster it's probably this bumper killing the signal. Take it off.

Yep... signal goes down by 2-3 bars on a bad area.

That's kind of a deal breaker for me because it's putting my phone into no signal when I'm inside any building and I'm missing calls/texts plus my battery is dying much faster due to it constantly searching for signal.

Wow. Can't believe the used the Sweet Armor name and threw in Korean Design on the packaging. Lol.
The real Sweet Armor cases suffer from no signal loss. I have one for sale if anyone is interested. But it's $50.

KAYSCASE Slim Hard Shell Cover Case

I used this exact case for my M7 phone and I love it. It's still the best case in my opinion. It doesn't add much to the phone and it's a hard shell transparent case that protects the metal side from scratches.
I just bought it on Amazon and I will show some pictures once I get it.

*I know the picture on the website still shows the old M7 but hopefully, they know what they are doing with the M8 case.

I just ordered one for mine. Thanks.

Can you check the top left corner of your case when you get it? Does it feel a bit loose? Mine kind of moves only on that corner. I fear that slight movement may cause scratches over time.

mine feels kinda loose on all the corners except the bottem left, but its not like a loose where the case is going to fall off or anything its like there is a tiny bit of play. i've noticed that trying to take this case off is kind of difficult but not extremly hard it's just weird, all in all a good slim case i think, only had it on for about 12 hours thou

does this case make the phone easier to grip?

feels a little better than the phone itself, i can't say anything about the other colors because i have the black one and it feels good on the phone. there are no lips around the screen so i wouldn't recommend setting the phone on the screen part as the screen will be touching the surface

My clear came in today. It def makes the phone easier to hold. The clear scratches very easily (in fact I think it came with light scratches) but I expected that from reading the reviews. I like it because its really thin and doesn't add that much bulk.

I picked this up but haven't put it on yet. Kinda worried about it scratching the phone with its rough edges...anyone put on and take off the case multiple times yet? Any scratching of the side bezels or back on the phone?

I put mine on and took it off a bunch of times. I don't think I like the case at all. I doubt it will protect the phone at all during a drop. About the only thing it will do is protect the back from scratches which i'm not that worried about.

Picked up one on Amazon for 50 % off with coupon code kay50off.

Don't think it'll be very protective but it adds grip while maintaining a case-less look.

For those that own a 30x loop

Go check around the bezel of your note 4. Fractures galore. I'm not talking about the fine scratches around the chrome area but the white or black frame bezel area to be precise. Two particular area of interest are on top near the IR blaster and also below next to the S Pen. Each fracture area is symmetrical in shape and pattern. Seems to be a flaw with the antenna region that flows under the bezel.
Edit.. Infact all four areas of the bezel which have the gap in chrome finish for aerial posses this marking on the frame bezel area.

Just went over mine meticulously and am happy to say I dont have any cracks or marks on the black frame. Theres definately very small fine scratches on the silver edge but it is almost unnoticeable thanks to Otterbox Commuter.

No scratches, a mere rectangular shaped fracture on each area next to the 4 chrome gap area on the bezel. Glad yours is okay.. I doubt mine is an isolated incident.Also worth noting my loop has a built in led.

Mines fine and I dropped my phone twice already. Once with no case onto the tiled floor.
Some nicks but no cracks. No scratches on the screen and it landed on its face. GG 4 is amazing.
I keep wondering of samsung gets all the materials from the same place. But then I decided that some people are just brutal on their phones.

Heres some pics each corner where the aerial is looks likes this.

uuh.. no. not at all.
no chance of microscopic scratches on a decorative metal band resulting in structural failure of the band.
the microscopic gaps are there for the antenna not because you chipped chunks off your metal band.

i think it is not normally visible using a normal look at it. and i think it is the antenna.. sorry for saying this but if you want a perfect phone then why not make and design one ?

So long as its not an initial sign of further bad things to come then its a non issue.
