Review:
Product is what I would consider 'budget' at less then £10 but I was pleasantly surprised at how well packaged it was. The quality of materials used for the case itself are also pretty good given the price tag. To the touch the case has that 'soft touch' feel to it, which is nice (reminds me of the Nokia N95 back in the day!). The back portion of the case fits tightly enough to not be loose and equally not be so tight you can't get it out. Aesthetically the rear of the case is nice, with a sloped portion near the volume rocker with 'ROCK' etched in. The front flap portion of the case is still not of too bad a quality for the price, but is not to the same standard as the rear portion. The speaker openings seem to have little 'frays' of the material. I could probably clear them out with tweezers but still, shouldn't have to do that. Secondly the cut outs for speakers and front camera don't line up 'naturally'. You have to move them in to place. The flap has one positive over the Dot View case in that it will stay open when it should. It doesn't spring closed. However it suffers from the same negative as the Dot View - anyone using a glass screen protector can't shut it flush against the screen. This hampers it's operation and is more of a problem with this particular case as it doesn't have holes, it is a translucent material which blurs what's beneath it the further the flap is away from the screen. So on the open edge when not shut properly, it's more blurred towards the edge. Without a glass protector I'm sure it would be fine though, however closed completely or not, you will notice when the screen is activated it is ever so slightly blurred, more so then the Dot View. The Dot View produces a clearer image. However, it functions as expected and for the minimal interaction you have with it, it's not really an issue. Someone really does need to make one of these cases with a small fold over catch/clasp on the open side which holds the flap flush. As this was a cheap case, I think I am going to attempt to stretch the hinge, see if I can get it to sit more flush. I may also look at modifying it to add a clasp of some kind.
Overall though, for the money you wouldn't be too disappointed in this alternative to the Dot View. I'd give it a 7/10.
I'll update thread with images of case working and installed on M8 once I have access to my camera.
Thanks for taking the time for the write up. This is one of the most interesting cases I've seen for our phone.

Needs to be a few more of these types cases but with a catch or clasp to hold the flap close to the screen. I'm surprised Chinese manufacturers haven't started getting them out.

My Review:
Contents: Plastic Case box; Flip Case; x1 included Screen Protector
Build Quality: Synthetic leather, flexible with a nice texture feel to it. The magnet on the flap is nice due to it's length it stays in position when you close the case. There is a hard shell casing for the phone that you would just slide the GN2 right in. The screen protector on the other hand is a simple cheap build quality item I would suggest something better, it however covers about 90% of the surface and leave's a few centimeters of spacing at the edges.
The padding itself in the inside feel's cheap it can get dirty; it uses the same type of cloth as you would find in a glasses case.
3.5/5
Fit: Nice a slim fit, if you stacked two credits cards on each other that's the thickness around the case. Phone fits nice not bulky it just fits very well. Slides in a pocket with ease and stay's put and easy to take out.
5/5
S-Pen Access: Very hard to take out unless you have nails, if you don't use the S-Pen often this won't be much of an issue.
2.5/5
Protection: Good overall protection, on the negative side the top and bottom edges of the phone is exposed however the hard casing that fits the phone provides protection at the corners. The magnet also stays in place due to it's length it doesn't pop the phone case open so easily in my pocket (it fits in my pocket as well) and stays put.
3/5
Overall Opinion: This case is quite nice for it's price tag $9;
4/5

Black Dolce Matrix Pouch Case Cover Stand
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-DOLCE-MATRIX-POUCH-CASE-COVER-STAND-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-2-N7100-ACCESSORY-/330825025753?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4d06b548d9&_uhb=1
Contents: Plastic Wrapped Case; Flip Case
Build Quality: Hard plastic casing, interior has a silky texture for protection from scratches to the screen. The front cover & flap is a little flimsy and hard to align to the magnet to close the case. Magnet is not too strong but wish it would be bigger for more accurate magnetic case closing like the Black Leather case above.
2/5
Fit: Very slim fit to the phone and barely add's much thickness. Front cover sticks out a bit when closed at the magnet end. Having the phone in stand formation the grip on the sily interior holds the phone up by friction.
4/5
S-Pen Access: Very hard to take out unless you have nails, if you don't use the S-Pen often this won't be much of an issue.
2.5/5
Protection: Decent protection, unlike the Black Leather casing there is more cover area for the bumper's on the top and bottom of the phone. Front cover easily opens due to weak magnet so it won't do too well for a fall. This case is more for scratch protection while storing away via pocket/bag.
2.5/5
Overall Opinion: For $14.95 it's not worth it at that price point, the Black Leather at $8.95 has a much better build. However if your looking for a simple case to protect the screen during storage this would be for you.
2.5/5

They should be coming in by the end of the week I'll be posting a review about these once I try them out!
First one looks like original Note, although their title says Note 2. I would double check with a seller to be sure its not a typo.

It looks like I have the second one but without the fancy print. I like the case very much. It's good protection without adding a lot of bulk.
One drawback though, it is very difficult to get the pen out of the Note while using this case. But I don't use the pen anyway so for me it is not a big problem.
Just got the first case in the mail, updated my review on it via OP.

LUVVITT® CLEARVIEW HTC One M8 Case Clear View | Scratch-Resistant Hybrid Slim Transparent Case/Cover
$5.95 - Amazon (Less Shipping)
Overall the case is what it is. Fit is good except for the top and bottom lips on the screen side but it's not that bad. There are manufacturing seams on the sides but you can't really feel them. The charging port cutout was a little off but I fixed it with a xacto knife. Before the fix I'd have to move the case a little to get the connector to plug completely in. There is what I'm calling a manufacturing defect on the bottom near the charging port. Not sure if this would be present on all of these cases or it's just on mine. No big deal, I'm not looking to win a beauty contest.
The IR blaster works. I've not notice the "flash flare" some have reported with other clear cases. It say scratch resistant but I've not used it enough to tell it that is true or not. The case feels "grippy" in your hand but not enough to snag in your pocket. The back of the case seems like a little harder material than the sides. It goes on and off easily. There is no cutout for the SIM or SD slots so the case will have to be removed to change those. The volume rocker is completely covered so there is minor protection there. I will report back on scratching and yellowing seen in many of these clear cases
If you are looking for a minimal case for $6 you can't go wrong. I'm just using it at work and when I'm out and about as I like the naked feel of this phone and take it off when I'm at home.
My brother bought a Spigen® clear case. It seems to offer a little more protection at the price of bulk. They are comparable but I prefer this one as it feels a little less bulky. Hope this helps.

Beauty Shots - NOTE - the HTC logo is shown through the case to illustrate the clarity.
ADDED CONTENT:
FYI
Well I've only really used this case for 2 days (first two days back to work after receiving the case) and I just noticed a pretty good scratch on the back of the case. There are also some very small scratches that are hard to see unless you hold it at just the right angle.
I'm not concerned becasue this is why I bought a case. I'm reporting this as the marketing for this case says it's scratch resistant which it is clearly not. I'd expect more than 2 days of use before seeing any significant scratches. Oh well, for $6 I'm happy and it's almost a disposable item if it gets really bad.
Added Content:
Afer a few weeks of use I can say this case is working just fine. I've never had a clear case so I'm not sure how long it takes to discolor but this one is still as clear as the day I put it on. I like to go naked when I'm at home and this case is easy to take off and put back on. The big scratch pictured above is still the only big scratch it has. There are a bunch of small scratches that can only be seen if held at the right angle. So far I am very pleased with this case that I might not even get a Skinomi or other wrap at this time. I have yet to drop my phone with this on (don't hold your breath, I treat this thing like a baby) so Not sure how it would protect if it hit on concrete or another hard surface. I think it would help a little. This case has not scratched the phone and I've not noticed any dirt getting between it and the phone. Whenever I put the case on I use my microfiber cloth to clean the case and the phone before installation.

Looks like a case that resemble the case I got from my m8 box. Looks pretty glossy.
Sent from my HTC ONE M8 HK
Great review.. I use this one: Ultra 0.5mm Slim Soft TPU Skin Clear new Case Transparent Cover But you need to buy a dozen or so, if you don't like scratches. This case will scratch up pretty bad.
Great review, that thing in the picture you don't know is probably a remnant of a tab gate. When the injection molding/extrusion happens the plastic goes through the gate, then they break it off of the runner when cured.

Have you guys tried the Baseus Ultra Thin Clear TPU Case? Best looks imo, at the expense of less protection
Hi guys. Just thought I'd post this quick review of the Ghost glass from MIME USA which I received last night.
Code:
Disclaimer: I am in no way endorsed by, or work for MIME USA.
I have however, bought a Ghost glass from them previously, for my S4.
I am in no way responsible for any physical, psychological,
emotional or mental damage caused by my honest opinions.
The glass protector can be bought here.
I bought it last Friday, it arrived on Tuesday, even though estimate was 7-12 business days. Not bad.
The protector came well packaged as usual.

I used the famous hinge method to apply the glass protector. Pretty much went ok. Just took a big of patience to get it aligned correctly. And even then, I think the alignment went a little bit off in the end. Trying to control my OCD now.
Here's what the phone looks like after application of the protector:
As you can see, to some it may look a bit odd as the design was made not to cover any of the sensors or the speaker grill.
It also doesn't cover the whole glass from edge to edge. There's a slight gap. IT does cover the whole touch screen area though.
I also had a couple of small air bubbles, but they have mostly disappeared throughout the day. Only one annoying one is left on the bottom right of the phone, but thankfully not on the screen itself.
Any question, please feel free to ask.
Hope that helped.
That's def different than what's shown in their picture. I have one on my OnePlus and it's nice, but I have a crack in the corner... How it got there, I have no idea since it's in a TPU case all the time and I haven't dropped it. Overall, a nice piece of glass, but I wish the cut out on top was just two cuts. One for camera, one for speaker and sensor. I'm a little iffy on those that just chop off a portion of the top. It still leaves the screen exposed.

Indeed. Incredibly misleading. Will buy a cheap ebay one instead (have a Mime on my S4 and really like it but the look of this G4 protector is ).
I have been a huge fan of Mime for years. Had them on my Nexus 5 and my Lg G3. by far the best screen protectors for those phones with just a cutout for the speaker and they worked just fine. all of the sensors. I emailed them about their version for the LG G4 and i see it had a bunch of cutouts and i am very disappointed in the design this time around. They seem to now be doing cutouts on all their new designs

Indeed. I think I remember some discussions on other forums where they were complaining that the glass was covering some sensors and causing issues. Which is probably why they changed the design so drastically. I'll probably keep it on for a bit to see if that pesky air bubble goes, but then I'll probably end up getting rid of it. Perhaps an Orzly?

i have this one coming from skinomi from what i hear its pretty nice. edge to edge, covers the camera but has an oval opening for the speaker and sensors. best of both worlds if you ask me. should be here soon actually. $7.95 no tax prim lifetime warranty...how can you beat that?

Thats the one I have on mine but I paid $10.90 everything dropped in price the week of release last week it was higher but thats ok. I always did like Mime protectors but seeing this one with those cut out look like trash. Will see how this one holds up over time. What I liked about the Skinomi is that its edge to edge and I have a Otterbox Defender on the phone minus the Defenders Plastic screen protector and with the Skinomi on it all glass with the MIME you will see those ugly cutouts.
Anyone with this screen protector noticing issues recognizing taps?
yeah i feel like my when i try and type its not picking up the taps i was thinking maybe cause of the curve of the screen the protector is not sitting completely on the screen which is why it might be missing taps
I only have issues in direct sunlight. The taps seem harder to register. Besides that it seems normal to me.
Review of tweaked version
Update:
I found a better car mount. See pics. Get a hard drive magnet. Get a matching pair of thin ones.
Remove one from it's plate, a sharp blow from a wood chisel will do it. Leave the one on that looks like the one in the pic. Screw plate to dash. Crazy glue other one to the inner case. Mind your polarity and use a sharpie while mocking up before you glue. Fabulous. Your phone will stick on the top of your car and stay with you till you remember where it is, lol. More, doubles as a work light using 2 flash. See attachments
Peel off the screen protector and throw it.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FYSGZM4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
The Sparin glass is fabulous!! Want dust free? Do it after your shower, in your steamy bathroom. I followed the instructions to the letter, no bubbles at all. There is an unsealed region of the last mm or so at the edge. This is not bad if you get it aligned with the screen edges.
It is not a regular adhesive, a little moisture does not hurt. Some people post on Amazon that you can remove them, clean and do over.
Red version has no carbon black and is very durable. Carbon causes the rubber to be less durable.
The Pink too. LOL! The getto case started to fall apart as of late. I stretched it to death. I did not realize it's weakness.
The number 1 problem , rubber key pushers do not work reliability, at least on the Play. I am not sure about the Force.
If you view the key ports in the frame without the rubber you notice the keys are high in the ports-not centered.
I took leftover trimmings from the surgery and crazy glued gussets (less than 1/16 " thick is plenty thick) to widen the pusher vertically. Yet careful to not glue the flexible web in the rubber cover.
I also trimmed them horizontally into a blunt point rather than the bricks they are. If you constantly push on the corner of these metal buttons of ours they can hang.
The volume up did not need as much of a mod as the others.
Whether or not you do the tweaks, grabbing the phone can lead to a reboot. I posted the latest pic of my fix. A cuticle trimmer works great to get bumpers to not snag once they are crazy glued. As well as a layer of CG (also called CA, I use the USA brand. Or Locktite. Do not scrimp on cheap CA) to make the bumpers slippery.
A multi hole plier type leather punch with rotating head is a must for the sim tray and headphone penetrations into the rubber. A small thin mini hacksaw blade and a little round file are good for the frame. Harbor Freight has all these.
Get one of these, the label is faded on mine, I think I have the iPhone 6 + version. I needed a shoe stretcher to get it loose enough. There are measurements on this or factory site. http://ripoffholstersonline.com/blackberry.html
They hold well in belt or pocket (as a belt substitute).
And finally, I have had the Moto car kits going back to the Razr. I have various bases with suction cups or DIY drive magnet mounts.
This case comes with a belt clip which is safe on your belt but not so much for the phone to Otterbox frame and even less so being clipped in your pocket. It refuses to grip cloth, ergo the Ripoff pouch.
Yet it makes a Fabulous top for the Moto bases. See pics, and yes more crazy glue....
See post 5 for final thoughts
Getto version starts here.
What can l say, no case I have seen has camera protection like this.
Crazy glue loves rubber.
Cover your phone in Saran wrap (3X min), no back, piece patches of inner tube material.
A leather punch is nice.
Note finger cutout for landscape swipe-down.
If I started over I would leave the screen intrusive lips (long side) on bottom just as the top including cutout. This would offer very good protection.
Newer pics, 3 & 4, will not show in post.

Leave the protector on. Use a double edge razor blade to shave the lettering off
Bump, Must See.
I admire your resourcefulness. :good:
Finally got a Defender , Z force for my Play.
Will update Op soon.
Trashed the built in screen protector, will add https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01FYSGZM4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 on order.
Various tweaks done already, punched out headphone hole, shored up gap opposite button side, buttons need to push on center of metal buttons-fixed, also buttons too stiff-fixed.
Fabulous case now. .....
Update is pretty much finished.
The Sparin protector and Otterbox Defender combo are FABULOUS! (Who was it that abused that word so much on late 70's TV? Was it Ricardo Montalban? I am not like him! I am being restrained.)
The Black rubber on my Maxx lasted about 2 years under the most grueling conditions.
Has the new black improved as much as this red material? This is different and much tougher., and I cannot tell until I cut it (95%) and then then do a pull test on the remaining segment. The 2 year Getto (Maxx) crumbled in comparison.
The Sparin glass gets a 10.
The Defender gets a 8 assuming it functions well on a Force (red or pink only, pink is on close out guys).
Tweaked Defender gets a 10.
I wanted the best case no matter what and I have it now.
I will have to toss the rubber in with my grubby work clothes each week.
Now that is next level protection. Well done. Hats off to you.
I'm using my phone bare back tho.

No bumper even?
I had to suffer the slipperyness at various times in the project, I almost wrecked it. No way....
The Getto was born out of urgency.

https://rhinoshield.eu/pages/shop/A...tegory=solidsuit&collection=solidsuit-android
I've preordered it, will feedback once received
These are now in stock and my pre order has been dispatched. Will post back here what it's like
Received it!
Its a very nice case. Fits very well and stays firmly on the phone. The buttons are very clicky and feel great. I like also that the case has the buttons covered, meaning the power button is the only button exposed, making it easier to find/use the fingerprint reader. A nice big case but not too big, can sense it'll protect well.
What I don't like...
-it's not as grippy as I was hoping. It's not as slippery as the stock black case, but still quite smooth I find. It is very sightly textured but with dry hands, a little more grip would have been good
-the sliding camera protector is fiddly. Takes a few tries to get used to the best way to do it. With the camera facing you, I find it a little fiddly using both thumbs. Also if you slide it all the way down, I then had to use my nails (and scratched it, even with my very small nails!). Also depending on how you do it, you run the risk of running your fingers/thumbs on the lenses which will result in blurry pics.
The best way I'm going to do is with the screen facing me instead and using two/three fingers of my left hand.
You get the status bar icon when the slider is closed.
Perhaps it'll losen up a little in time. Overall happy with it though and having this camera protection is a nice bonus.
I like the included black case quite a lot. So I am not sure if it is worth the upgrade. The only drawback of the included case is the missing chin on the bottom. If the phone falls on it the screen is in pieces.
Hey mate, what is the weight of the case?

Sorry for the delay mate.
Just weighed the case and it's 45 grams.
A good sturdy case!
I can't find any decent wallet case, at least here in Sweden!
Any tips?
I've found this cases which I believe have good grip, it seems that they offer good protection as well.

Both of the cases I received with my Zenfone feel slippery, and I think if I drop the phone they would not offer good protection, please let me know if there is another option, sadly I cannot buy the first one because they don't deliver to Peru

Received it!
Its a very nice case. Fits very well and stays firmly on the phone. The buttons are very clicky and feel great. I like also that the case has the buttons covered, meaning the power button is the only button exposed, making it easier to find/use the fingerprint reader. A nice big case but not too big, can sense it'll protect well.
What I don't like...
-it's not as grippy as I was hoping. It's not as slippery as the stock black case, but still quite smooth I find. It is very sightly textured but with dry hands, a little more grip would have been good
-the sliding camera protector is fiddly. Takes a few tries to get used to the best way to do it. With the camera facing you, I find it a little fiddly using both thumbs. Also if you slide it all the way down, I then had to use my nails (and scratched it, even with my very small nails!). Also depending on how you do it, you run the risk of running your fingers/thumbs on the lenses which will result in blurry pics.
The best way I'm going to do is with the screen facing me instead and using two/three fingers of my left hand.
You get the status bar icon when the slider is closed.
Perhaps it'll losen up a little in time. Overall happy with it though and having this camera protection is a nice bonus.

Is it thicker than the included black case?
It's quite bulky. But when I saw my first scratch on camera module (I asked myself many times, when? why? I was extremely careful) then I immediately ordered that case. I like it for it's quality, but it's quite slippery (especially at first touch), but on other side material on that case don't catch any fingerprints
I maked some shots, and how it's look like:

I like the case but it's a shame it doesn't lock the camera module like the stock bumper case. So my camera gets all flimsy and I can hear it knock on the plastic slider camera cover lol.
I got one of these from Amazon

Does anyone know what the material of the rhinoshield case is made of?
This is a real long shot but I'm trying to get hold of the Rhinoshield case for my Zenfone 7 Pro, scoured the internet and cannot find anywhere to get one.
If anyone happens to stumble across this post who has the case and are willing to sell it to me or know where I might be able to get one *please* let me know.
I know it's a bit late but if you haven't got one yet you could try the zenfone 8 flip case from the Rhinoshield website. Phones are same size and design.

This is exactly what I ended up doing in the end.
Yeah the 8 flip and the 7 have literally the same body, the only change in terms of physical design is that the fingerprint reader was removed from the side of the phone in favor of an under-display sensor (one of the reasons I chose the 7 over the 8 flip, I don't like under-display fingerprint readers, they're almost the same phone but I actually think the 7 Pro is superior in every way that they're different).
That change does mean that the case for the 8 flip needs to be modified slightly for the 7 though by cutting part of the side of the case away to expose the fingerprint reader.
