Hello there!
I have a Note on the way, i am just wondering if you had advice to give, good screen protectors, cases etc, just really anything you think would be useful for me to know!
Thanks
Oliver
Well, If you are really a phone dropper as I am you'd better buy a one of the Zenus cases http://www.zenuscase.net/galaxy-note.html
No I'm not a big phone dropped at all. Although reccomendationfor good looking case are welcome!
Sent from my HTC Sensation using XDA App
WOW!, Just been into a local phone shop and played with a demo note model, even more excited than i was before, pictures and such just dont do it justice!
But seriously, is there anything i should be wary of!
also what is a nice, protective but fairly compact dairy type case for it?
and a screen protector that wont take away from the s-pen?
Thanks Guys!
My first case choice was the noreve posted in the accessories area of the note forums. But noreve does not accept discover or paypal so I ended up going with Zenus, which there is another thread about in the accessories forum.
This device is very thin and has a large glass surface, so getting some sort of insurance on it is probably a good idea.
As far as screen protectors, anything that you put on the screen will slightly alter the input, but I just decided to go with a protector with good reviews on amazon and I am pleased with the fit and clarity, and the s-pen still works great. Don't remember the brand, but it was not steinheil/sgp, although i hear their ultra crystal protectors are the best.
Thanks, i have got insurance for it, hmmm, i'll have to look for those threads and i'll have to look atscreen protectors aswell.
Thanks!
i would tell you to add a good screen protector and if possible go get the Samsung leather case for this..
In India presently they are giving it for free with the phone
Hey guys. I just decided to try Samsung S6 or S6 Edge. Looking for some great cases to protect it! But also I don't wanna spoil the original look of it since the design's so unique and beautiful! Anyone knows where I could find these cases available now??
I love the design of S6 edge so much, but it's kinda pricy
I would buy a S6. Does anyone know where I could find some high quality cases? I prefer leather cases.

i have this leather one from Spigen order:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SV646HS/
i posted more Spigen cases here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/galaxy-s6-edge/accessories/spigen-neo-hybrid-t3045496
can't go wrong with any Spigen cases. many companies copy/clone their cases because they are among the best cases you can buy.

Hit up Vajacases @ www.vajacases.com they offer a GS5 case so very likely they will offer one for the GS5. Plus unlike Apple, Samsung actually gets their accessory vendors in on the design so they are ready at launch where Apple forces everyone to wait, penalizes them for using leaked designs from further Made For I accessory options, like who cares. Do you have to have permission to make a case for a phone anyways. I can't imagine aftermarket car accessory vendors have to get permission to offer floor mats or other accessories.
One more thing . . . I did a quick Amazon search for Galaxy S6 Edge Cases and chose Leather/Faux Leather box and the search results are below.

But the green one looks so good! For me, the look worth the price.

looks like a spigen clone to me. 90% of the cases out there are spigen copies, they are top notch cases so everyone tries to replicate them.
have a look at this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00SV63ND6/
comes in several colors. the slate and gun metal are really nice colors.

I'm not sure I would say that they are copies OF spigen... most of these cases are made in the same chinese factories, it's just that we understand spigen's cases to be the in the top percentage of quality. But that's like arguing that Sheetz has better gas than BP has, although they both buy from the same supplier.

Spigen cases aren't made in china, and they actually have their company Headquarter in the US..

I wrote a review for leather case http://forum.xda-developers.com/gal...ick-review-bible-style-grain-leather-t3058696

not to be rude, but we're suppose to believe your review when you got the cases for free? not all companies throw away free cases to beggers for a review, maybe you got turned down because good cases don't need to be given away for review. companies usually give away cases when they don't make many sales... also, amazon reviews are flawed because competitors can leave negative reviews to others.. buy good brand and be done with it.

Agreed. Amazon reviews should be coming from real buyers.

I think you're a little wrong with that comment, agreed many cases do look similar to what Spigen make, but who copied who lol I think there's a growing consumer trend for cases that are either sleek and stylish or functional or protective. And pretty much all mobile phone case manufacturers have caught onto that trend, so it's now and immensely saturated market with everyone producing cases very similar to one another. I guess the benefit of this is they're all fighting for sales, which often means reductions in prices, good for us

its easy to know who copied who.. Who came out with the first Neo Hybrid? Spigen. now there is a flood of them. anyone who thinks otherwise is delusional or hasnt been buying cases for very long to have known what Spigen cases have looked like for years..
Looking to pick up a TGSP for my S7 edge, however it seems like a decent one is hard to come by.
Without going through the whole TGSP thread, what's the general consensus on the Zagg TGSP? Any good?
Any other suggestions would be helpful if there may be one I have overlooked.
Thanks
Since there are too many glass protectors and many people here recomending products from the India, I think It would be useful for us in the US
to know which alternatives we have for "CASE FRIENDLY" screen protectors or full covered tempered glass that we can buy in amazon.com or ebay.
Many sellers claims that most works with cases but real users opinions is what counts. I have the oficial op3 slim case.
All the threads here about the various screen protectors (whitestone etc .)for the note 8 contains information about the product whose availability is limited to region like US and UK . Note 8 is recently made a lot of sale during the festive season in India and we will see more of note 8 users from India.
So far no review can be found on internet which can guide the indian consumers to make a purchase.The screen protector available on amazon have barely any reviews and those which have , have it poor.
I would like to ask the indian users to share their reviews of their screen protector and cases based on their use so far. Also if possible please proide the info necessary to get to the product page.
I myself am in need of a good screen protector and case which is available in India and dont want to pay the price equivalent to the cost of another budget mobile phone
I hope this thread gets a decent number of replies and feedbacks and can save a lot of trouble and money to note 8 users
Same for thailand
Hey did you find anything good yet? Im in the same boat and still havn't peeled off the flimsy screen guard that comes pre applied with the phone lol dont want to remove until i can find a replacement. I might end up buying something cheap (sub Rs500~), reviews on amazon seem fake so that doesn't help at all. Whitestone dome glass can be imported but that would cost around $70 (incl shipping)from ebay.com, but that price is too much for tempered glass.
I feel a bit safer knowing that the 1 year screen replacement offer from samsung has us covered.
Just use a cheap full Glass one and loca glue . Works as good as white stone for much cheaper.
for the edge series all the tempered glass that are available is worthless.... cos with full tempered glass most of the cases won't fit and also touch sensitivity will be very less for both full and case friendly tempered glasses... go for normal screen protector with some military grade mobile case....it should work fine in most cases.
After a lot of R&D / going through various reviews, settled on a regular screen protector & the Spigen tough armor case for the SG Note 8. Though the phone tends to feel a tad bit bulky with the Spigen case, it provides excellent protection. As for the screen protector, it was luckily compatible with the Spigen case, S-pen works well, & is holding good so far (about a month now !).
