He guys, I found another leather flip case that seems really nice. I like the colors but wish there was a blue similar to the Asus Nexus 7 cases.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLD-Ultra-S...702452?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c690824f4
The one thing that concerns me is that it is magnetic. Is that safe? I found a video of the case(s) on youtube.

I really wanted one of those as well but being magnetic is a no go.

Besides being magnetic, they seem to be the all around best flip cover I've found (besides the Official Samsung Flip Cover that haven't looked at.) Nice colors, good design, appears to be good quality....... Guess we'll have to wait for something else.
I received this case the other day and the quality and feel is excellent. It is a beautiful case. I'm going to give it and try on my Note when I receive it. I like it better than the official Samsung flip cover.
Any feed back on the magnetic case being safe. I am getting my note 11\1 amenities want to order the case ahead of time. So far I am liking this case.

Safe? Well, it's not going to damage anything much, but it WILL screw with the S-Pen, and render the compass completely useless.
Ive got the case and been using it the last few days with no ill effects what so ever!!!
The magnet is next to the front camera and doesnt screw with the S pen at all. ln regards to the compass I cant comment as l dont use it (l dont think)!!!
All in all a really nice solid case - no complaints so far.
ps - went for the black and beige one - looks smart!

The case is safe. Smart covers for tablets (N7, Ipad) contain magnets. That is how they automatically wake up when you open them.
I bought this aswell hopefully there are no side effects. I plan on installing a landyard in it aswell. The note wont fit in all my jeans pockets ; p

I see now. It looks like butt. At least the colors do.
Ok I just bought it as well the black one as it looks beautifull and it has a kickstand feature what more do you want from a case all for a super price delivered what are you waiting for guys?
I have this case in black and I absolutely LOVE it.
It looks amazing, isn't bulky and the materials are top-notch. The phone doesn't move a millimeter. I haven't used the pocket yet, but I think it's a handy feature.
The magnet is a plus for me. It hasn't caused any problems.
I didn't want the official case, because it's made of the same chintzy plastic as the stock back - which I don't like at all.
FYI I have a brand new one of these cases available for $15.00 shipped. I'm located in the US so shipping will be a lot quicker than China. Please see the thread below for details

I'm looking at this case too and have a couple questions.
Does NFC still work?
What is it like to text and make phone calls on it?
Do you think it would still fit in a car mount with the back cover flipped around?
How easy is it to take in and out of the case?
I will NEVER use a magnetic case on my devices.
Very expensive device + magnet = prone to damage.

You ever use the OG Droid? Both the car dock and desk dock used magnets. Magnets are fine with these devices
I doubt a low strength magnet would have any negative effect on the device.
I ordered a wallet case with a magnetic clasp and initially I was worried about dead spots on the screen. Having received the case and seeing how laughably weak they are (just enough to hold the front panel shut, absolutely no more) I'm not sweating it at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for the FedEx guy now, but I'll report back and tell of any issues.
Hey guys. I was just wondering if anyone knew if the Gameklip for the original note would work for our note 2. Or does someone knw of a diff kind of clip for the ps3 controller.
Edit: just received my universal gameklip with the case and its is awesome.

Gameklip is now offering 2 models only. One for the SG3 and a universal one that attaches to a case for your phone with a 3M adhesive strip. They have cases for the Note 2 for $2.95, it's a generic TPU type. The wireless model plus case plus shipping to my house came to $21. The case attaches permanently to the klip so you will have to switch out any case you now have each time to use it. I have the Samsung protective case that slips off an on easily so I decided to go ahead and get the universal "case mount" since I would have had to take it off anyway with the old style system because it fit the phone too tightly to use with a case anyway. I will report back on the fit and quality once I receive the package.

You would have to take off any case anyway because the versions made for specific phones fit too tightly to allow you to place the phone plus case into the klip. You can't expect an option for every phone/case combination. If it fits tight enough to hold the naked phone securely it won't accommodate the phone plus case.

3M adhesive strips are way more reliable than sticky tape. Automomile manufactures use it to attach heavy items to vehicles that are subjected to much greater stress than you will ever
subject your phone to (unless you plan on throwing it when the game gets frustrating). Just clean the attachment point with alcohol before applying and you won't need to worry about it coming off under normal use.

I actually think it will look better than the plastic arms wrapping around the naked phone. This way the case and phone will be appear to be an integral part of the device rather than an apparent add on. Also, when I was thinking of ordering one like the original I worried that those arms, being made of rigid plastic and fitting tightly enough to keep the phone from dropping out, would eventually cause visible wear on the phone's body with repeated insertions. That should be no problem with a soft flexible case. Additionally, on the theory that the phone will eventually be replaced, it will be possible to remove the case and fit one for the Note 3, 4 or 5 to the device with a new adhesive strip. All in all it appears to be a pretty clever one size fits all solution for the multitude of devices in the market. I got notification that mine has shipped so I will soon have a better idea of how well it actually fits and will report back.
You make a lot of valid points let us know how you like it.

If you bought one for your original note that WILL WORK! I shoved my note 2 in it to see and it was way to strainful, so I decided to take a lighter to heat one side up to let it adjust to the longer phone, not it fits in perfect nice and tight and no issues at all!
Notice how the right side is angled a little, I can still shake it around and everything and its very sturdy still

So I work as a lifeguard and I need my phone in the stand for music and ideally I'd like to have a waterproof case but there seem to be none available. i dont want the salt air to corrode the ports and internals of my phone so i usually use a sandwich bag but it doesnt provide any protection from sand really and its annoying. So I'm pretty crafty with duct tape so I decided to make my own case. I just did it about a half hour ago I'll probably make a better version in the future after I figure out the flaws but here's a few pictures of it. Let me know what you guys think.

Well you could purchase those knock-off Otterbox Defender or Survivor cases. They should give you relatively ok protection from sand, drop impact, and minor splashes of water (for more water protection, those sealable cases I suggested earlier, would be your only choice).
This case http://www.ebay.com/itm/DRiPRO-Spor...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item4d0de9f4c3 is reusable, so that shouldn't be an issue.
I work beach volleyball and know what you mean, sand is the thing I fear most. I usually use two sandwich bags and scotch tape them tightly around the phone. Back camera's unusable then but the phone is safe the screen works just fine. I've also saran wrapped the phone itself and put it back in the case.

That's certainly a lot more compact and efficient than trying to find a product that just doesn't exist (I have the same problems as the OP with a different model). There's no long term water/sand proof solution for any of the Notes. Desecration? I guess a scratched up, worn out phone is preferable. I've been working on the beach for six years, I know what I'm talking about.

But hey, if ziplock bag wasn't working for you, that couldn't have cost more than $1 in parts. Maybe fifteen to thirty minutes of time. Obviously this is not a case about drops, but about keep tiny scratch particles from getting in. A prime example of function over form.

I went to AT&T to try out the S5.
Overall a very nice phone however the one thing that I think will annoy the hell out of me is having to fiddle with that flap every time it's time to charge the phone.
I found it really hard to open and after a few tries I managed to get my finger nail under the slight lip but it was not very comfortable to do.
How are the rest of yo owners finding the handling of this flap?
I will be using a robust case for mine so wireless charging is out for me.
I heard back from both Spigen and Case-Mate who both said that it's unlikely charging would work through their cases and that's assuming the phone will still fit with the slightly larger charging back.

That's the only thing that I find annoying about the S5. I understand it needs to be covered for water/dust resistance, but it's still incredibly annoying. I have short nails (stupid nail-biting habit) so trying to open it is always a chore. I've actually resorted to using a small thumb-tac (lol) to open it and it works perfectly every time.
I'll definitely be looking at wireless charging options once they're readily available. I rarely use a case on my S5, just because I like how it feels in the hand without one, so the different back shouldn't be an issue.
I like knowing that dirt, dust and curious little kid fingers won't be able to affect the port. I have an otterbox that has a decent opening to allow for charging, been using it all day and its around 55% batt, so I'll be okay with the cover.
I have the spigen tough armor case and I can charge the phone with no problem. It's a minor inconvenience but it's worth having the peace of mind against getting water damage.

Not being "lazy" but I have gel tips on my nails.. therefore opening this door without one of my kids/boyfriend or a thumbtack etc. is impossible for me. My 17-year-old suggested I rip it off but I refused because I want the dust and waterproof to remain.
I think the flap is the unfortunate, necessary evil for the water/dust proofing feature of the phone. I am not a fan of it either but it is what it is.
Does anyone can Recommend Car Mount for edge?
I have been using the iBolt xpro seems OK although the springs seem a little strong.
I am looking at some off the wireless chargers but not seen and that look right for landscape use.
I use iMagnet, the edge can stick without any needs for the metal plate, but I use slim ringke case, for thick case I think you'll need to attach the metal plate.

Yeah lol I could imagine. I just moved in with my GF and that's already started. [emoji12]

If you don't use your CD slot, get this one. I hate the ones that stick on the windshield with a suction because they always fall off while I'm driving around. These are way more secure and won't obstruct your view.

I can confirm that this mount is awesome. I have been using wireless chargers in my car for years and this is the best mount and the best wireless car charger I have bought or rigged without a doubt.

I use iMagnet, the edge can stick without any needs for the metal plate, but I use slim ringke case, for thick case I think you'll need to attach the metal plate.

That can't be good for the phone. I am even weary of that mount with the metal plate. I know the phone is shielded, but that's quite a strong magnet.

Don't just assume things... and then comment. This is how misconceptions gets spread.
A magnet doesn't have any major negative impact on your phone. The worst it could do is screw up your compass if you use an app that needs that function.

The Edge will stick with the iMagnet you say?
I find that mounts with side grips makes it harder for you to access the screen edges since it curves.
I'm using this one:

Good quality and it clamps the phone from top and bottom so that your edges are free. I initially bought this for the Z2 since side clamps can disrupt button presses.

It is, even with Ringke Slim, it's pretty sticky enough, I guess something inside the edge is made of metal, right in the middle of the body.

The Air dock 2.0 works really well with the phone naked. Has microsuction/magnetic mount with Qi and NFC. I use the NFC to turn on BT and open that Android Auto clone app.

Bought this AirDock and dissapointed - NFC tag don't recognized by the phone while charging is on.

Holds Note versions and smaller. Adjustable slides snugly fit the phone. I've had the same mount for the last 3 phones I've owned including the S6 edge and I love not having to buy a new mount everytime I switch phones!

I received this as a gift but I found this unsuitable for the Edge as the clamps cover the screen. Quality is good though.
