Recently purchased a JavoEdge Case for my NC...and really impressed! Holds the NC in securely, looks great and functional. Genuine Leather, all ports etc available.
Anywho...just my opinion if you're lookin.
The one I have : http://www.amazon.com/JAVOedge-Edit...UQ/ref=sr_1_17?ie=UTF8&qid=1296337065&sr=8-17

Have tried 5 different ones...this by far is the best of the bunch I've tried. I may end up grabbing a second case from them...the Standing / Easel cases look good as well. Might get one to swap out as need arises to go hands free, etc.
I've ordered a flip case from JanoEdge. I figured even if I don't use the stand I'ld prefer to flip the top cover over rather than bending it back with the book style. I like how it protects the frame, I don't have a skin on mine.
Can't wait, I don't have a proper cover for my nook color, been using makeshift ones. These look great!
Do these cases have the little bit of a cutout / opened up rectangle that the B&N cases have so you can hear the speaker better?

They do, but with the flip cases the stand covers it when it's snapped close.

Ok. How bad is the sound deadening from the stand? I'd love a stand up case but I would like to be able to hear the Nook speaker if I want to hear something. So far there seems to be this one and the Roocase that seem to do the trick, and the roocase lacks a cutout at all.

I have read that it doesn't distort the sound, but wont know for sure till I get it. Can't remember where I read it, was searching around a few different places on the net for views of these cases. Can reply when I get mine, within a week or two I think (international shipping), unless someone else who has one answers in the mean time.
I debated between this and the Roocase. Went with this one via Amazon with some GCs. $33 AC. Went with the JavoEdge Editor Flip.
Ordered a Flip for myself as well. Don't know when it'll show up though, due to the weather in the midwest. It'll need to travel through much of that to get to me in Michigan. Can't wait for it though. I've resorted to carrying the NC around in the box it came in so that I can bring it to class with me!

Using the stand case on my wife's NC...minimal sound distortion. It actually helps redirect the sound toward you in a way.

I'm pretty happy with the JavoEdge editor. Magnetic clasp is nice, the sound is fine thanks to the hole cut in the case. All ports not blocked which is good. When you fold the top back, it does muffle the sound a bit more, but it works great sitting up and with the top flipped up (not folded behind it).
I am interested with this case as well. Can someone post an image of this flip case folded open (side view). I would like to know how thick it is with the stand folded.
Thanks.
I'm also interested, but am wondering how sturdy the covermaterial is:
will it protect the screen well enough if it e.g. fals on a stone/corner (and the obstruction hits the screen first)
is it more like hard plastic, or more like soft fabric (which will dammage the screen when it falls)
does it come with a screen protector, my screen is a fingerprint magnet
I have the same case (tweed version) and honestly don't like it at all. Functionally it's fine, but I hate how the edges that wrap around the screen are just slightly too small and so they don't stay square, but instead balloon out.. Also sticking anything other than loose sheets of paper in the pocket makes it too bulky to close. I love the magnetic "latch" though.
It does offer some significant protection, however. I have dropped my Nook from 5[ish] feet onto a hardwood floor, it landed on the bottom right exposed corner, and the device was a-okay. I'm certain if I had dropped it naked, the Nook would be dead.
I just ordered the Pioneer flip case in brown from JAVOedge's site. These are some very sharp looking cases with strong reviews on Amazon. They're the only cases I found that I really liked the styling--a nice, casual faux-vintage look, neither sporty nor girly (though the Cocoa Cherry Blossom case did tempt this hetero male) and few of them look like a day-planner from 1997. They also seem to add very little bulk, and are reported to be very comfortable in the hand while still protecting the NC.
The company's site has more styles than Amazon: http://www.javoedge.com/reflexeshop...odel.do?brandId=63&modelId=1026&category=1001
And for the heck of it, because there was a "coupon code" field at check-out, I googled "JAVOedge coupon" and got 15% off! http://www.retailmenot.com/view/javoedge.com
@Bandage (OP) I don't think any of their products are "genuine leather." They make a point of advertising "animal friendly" materials, which beats rooCASE's Chinese pig-leather in my book
If so just interested in some pics of it or just some review, there doesn't seem to be much online about them.
Would post a link but not allowed...... LOL

looks like a nice case but seems too bulky. i like slim and sleek
I also use the Ballistic case, I love it!
My job is kinda rough on my phone so I needed something tough.
I could understand why someone might want something a little slicker, but if your likely going to bash around your phone unintentionally, I'd recommend this case highly! I like the bulky military look however and it makes the phone comfortable to hold.

Would you please post some pictures with your phone? Eventually while holding it in your hand? I want to make an impression of how it "feels". Thanks.
Never mind ... I've created my own pictures :

Apart from shipping, is there any way to get these at Best Buy, Target etc?
I absolutely love my ballistic case and I actually tested it by throwing my phone about 20ft across a parking lot and absolutely zero issues. Very rugged case that will protect your phone from just about anything
Its the best $25 I have spent lol have dropped phone can't tell u how many times and nothing it adds a lil bulk (nothin crazy) to the phone but the protection is well worth it
Sent from my Nexus S 4G using XDA App
I have the case. I love how sturdy and solid it makes the phone feel. The bulkiness doesn't bother me. It's good a good grip and it feels nicer holding the phone with the case on it.
The only thing I don't like is that... since the edges sit up higher than the level of the screen (which is for protection, I know) it is kind of like a lint trap... I'm constantly blowing lint and crap off of my screen.
This Ballistic case fit also i9023 model?
Fits the phone and it's rock solid yet I don't think it looks that cool live since it's huge and those bumpers are lol. After mounting, the phone looks like a measurement instrument.
The rubber layer on the lower part of the phone is too close to the back and home buttons since you'll get an oval shape with the case on and the touching of those buttons aren't that comfy anymore.
Pro: -fits perfect (buttons, curves, no movement)
- high quality materials (similar to otterbox rubber/plastic if not same)
- makes the phone quite shock resistant, unless it falls on the screen
Con: - price
- it's huge
- the bumpers could be smaller
- there's no cover for the ports (ex.: otterbox commuter)
If somebody wants to use it for scratch protection i think the cheapest case will do. But if you do sports and/or work in above average conditions, then it's a good accessory.
Nice!!, but shouldn't that case come with pants with XXXL pockets?

Haha, seriously no joke!
I'd like to add only one 'con' for this case after using it for many months now.
The rubber corners seem to be fluff magnets when I put it in my pocket, can be quite annoying if you like a squeaky clean phone.
Saying that, because of this I have noticed that the case is EXCELLENT at not letting dust/crap touch the phone under the cover, very well sealed. Also, it's motivated me to keep my pockets fluff free, which is good!
Very good, if not best case I ever owned of this type. Very smooth edges, a lot of small details, grainy feeling comparable to a macbook.
Gray fits perfectly titanium gray note 2.
Additional buttons work like a charm with a good travel and subtle click.
Adds 1,5-2 mm of thickness and 3mm of height and width to the device, 15 grams gain is imperceptible.
No antenna radio or NFC issues.
The phone wiggles a very very small bit inside of it but you can tuck it to perfection by just adding a little more adesive spacer tape (than what it's delivered with) to the inside of the bumper.
Looks quite nice, i like the idea of having a heavy metal band around the phone.
Makes the phone look even sturdier and stronger.
I´d be glad if you could answer a few questions about it.
Do the buttons have a "clicky" feeling when you press them?
And how easily does the bumper´s front part slide into place and accordingly goes off when you want to remove the case? Does it rattle when the bumper is on the phone i.e. is the sliding mechanism firm when closed?
And finally, could you link us to the page where you´ve bought this piece?
Thank you
Looks like this one off fleabay...

Yes there is a subtle clicking sound that is very nice to know if you actually pressed it right.
It slides very well and won't scratch if you clean off the dust before removing or putting the case, but as I said you may want to add one or two rubber bands over the one who are already inside so that the phone doesnt move at all.
I ordered the same one off eBay and I hope you don't mind me putting in my two cents.
The adhesive tape on the inside was actually more than enough for me. If anything I had to push down on the phone so the front would slide over the screen. That being said mine fit perfectly. So much so that I probably wouldn't have it on without a screen protector on. The part that slides over the phone is bare aluminum. But I guess the fit of it is going to vary, especially considering it's easiest to find on eBay.
The buttons on the case IMO improve the feeling of the volume and power buttons. There is a very satisfying click when pressed.
The size of it is a tiny bit more than I'd like. I don't think most people would mind but I'm ultra minimalist; I'm now just using a BodyGuardz skin. But probably the best thing about this bumper is that it keeps the front and back of the phone off of surfaces. Even more importantly the back is spaced perfectly enough that even the "bump" of the camera is elevated.
The hole cutouts are all there for mics, USB, and headphone. The main issue I'm having is the headphone jack hole is a bit too small for some of my headphones/speakers. Other than that they're all machined perfectly. The sides are extremely flat and smooth so if the phone is lying on a table it can sometimes be a little difficult to pick up.
A lot can be said of the sturdiness of this case. I have NO doubt that it will protect the edges of the phone. Even without the phone inside the case it resists bending and twisting even with a fair bit of force.
Sorry if I hijacked your thread a little bit xp
Thats a weapon!

which one did you get I see on amazon some people are displeased with the usb and headphone port. I want to get the blue one. The ones I see on amazon dont appear to have the phone raised when sitting on a flat surface.
I just ordered one from here http://www.tmart.com/Aluminium-Metal-Bumper-Case-for-Samsung-N7100-GALAXY-Note2-Gray_p166896.html
Only 10.99 a pop with free shipping.

Just received mine in the mail that I ordered from ebay. Initial thoughts...it does add a little bulk (to be expected) but overall VERY happy with the bumper. No noticeable difference in signal and it feels very sturdy in hand like it could take several drops without damaging the phone. Also the buttons have a clicky feel like the OP stated and it just enhances the bumper even more IMO.
No issues with any of the cutouts but will say that the s-pen cutout feels awkward. I can pull the pen out fine but putting it back in is the awkward part. Because of the cutout, I have to use my thumbnail to make sure it feels like the pen is completely attached again.
I'll post some pictures later but overall satisfied with the case. Here's the link to the one I bought..... ebay bumper. I bought my for $17.98 including shipping but noticed that the seller immediately raised the exact same bumper to $67.98 after I bought mine.

Looks nice
Looks pretty sweet i'm starting to feel jealous of that grey phone (got it in white) I'm thinking of buying one but i'm not sure if it will protect the phone, my biggest concern is the screen not cracking
Do you guys think it will survive a few falls?
I'm rocking a black aluminum on a white phone and it looks pretty sexy. I do think that it would protect against a fall or two. Same coverage as a TPU case just the back is exposed. I figure that I can get a replacement back cover if needed.

I have a silver one I don't need. It felt good but like the other poster kind of bulky for my tastes. Anyone want it pm me.
I have this in silver for my white Note and I love it. I have no wiggle. The only comment I'd have is that the headphone hole isn't big enough for most headphone jacks. The jack on the headphones that come with the phone works, but almost all others don't. Thinking about taking a drill bit to it. I've dropped it twice from about 2 feet, no scratches or problems.
I will say that it doesn't help the phone be more easily held (doesn't put any texture on the back) but then again it's nice that it's easy to get out of the pocket...

Three words....Heavy as f**k. I've got one, you don't realise till you take it out, and yes, the little weight on the bumper is a lot when you compare with/without it on. I'm still sing it though, saved my phone about 10+ times in the last month.
Finding a leather case that's really made for the Note 2 that goes on your hip is a heck of a challenge at best. There's lots of pleather cases out there, and ones that aren't made for the Note...they're big enough to hold two of them I've heard! The case made right is big enough already, it doesn't need to be bigger than needed.
So after lots of looking I settled on the Smartphone Experts Side Pouch.
From what I could tell in the pictures, it looked like a good case and with the black friday discount, I got it for ~$21, not bad for a leather case.
It came in today, and I must say I'm pleasantly surprised. It truly is real leather, smells great and is stamped so on the back (you can see it in the pictures.) Stitching is done nicely, and with black thread instead of the white I see so often. Thank god for that, I don't need my case looking like a leisure suit!
There is extra padding on the exposed side of the case, I haven't seen this before in other cases. This can be seen in the pictures too. The belt clip is sturdy and strong, even though it looks small. The closure is magnetic and holds the flap down securely. Honestly, I don't know if magnets really mess up the phone, but it would be a simple matter to slide a sheet of mu-metal foil inside of the padded area to help with that.
The fit is quite snug, but one can expect that with all leather cases. They usually take about a week or so to form fit to your device. After that, it'll be quite easy to get the case in and out of my pocket. It does have a finger hole in the bottom center of the case to enable you to pop your device out easily. One miss, as pointed out by BrooklynAvi is that there is no headphone hole. I don't use headphones, but I can certainly see how that'd be a problem.
So, all in all, a very nice quality case. Definitely would recommend to anyone looking for a leather hip case.
Thanks for the review. Do you think this pouch can fit the Note Ii with a case? Maybe I'll be a tight fit.
Kinda hard to tell; my phone is naked. The extra padding is soft, so it does have some give in it. If the case is thin, it'll probably go. Good thing is that leather stretches with time, so it should stretch to fit eventually?
I love the Seidio holster but they aren't making it for the GNote 2 without an additional case. In addition to the cost of the extra case, I don't want to have a case on my phone. The strange thing is they make two of those type of cases which annoys me. One should have been the regular one. Well, they said they don't plan to make one so I was in the market for a traditional hip case. I found this one and you confirmed a few things I wanted to know so I'm ordering it now. I used this type for my Dash and several other devices so it shouldn't be too bad. Better than my pocket.
I thought this thread was going to be about a hip ie. fashionable case

Yeah, well.....
One thing I can't stand is a phone in the pocket. Only way to make that worse is to have a LARGE phone in my pocket. It may not look cool, but you can't beat a case on your hip for ease of access.
One (or two) big issues
OP: Can you add this comment (in brief, of course) to the OP so others know the headphones hole is missing?
So I received the case and it was exactly what I expected in terms of quality. It really is designed for a belt but works well on my pants alone when I don't wear a belt but falls off my sweatpants at home (I don't wear my case at home much anyway and this is to be expected). Here are the issues. There are no cutouts for the headphone and charger. The charger isn't truly and issue for me as I doubt I will charge it while wearing it like I've done with other phones (while out and using an external charger) because the battery life is tremendous on the GN2. But I really use the headphones while wearing the case. I actually think that this is a vital feature that was overlooked. My solution will be to pay $5 or $10 to have a professional seamstress cut a hole in it and stitch up the hole. Yeah, it's that important to me.
So if you need a case like this then it's really your only choice. I just didn't think to ask. It's solid though and once it stops being stiff I'm going to enjoy not having to carry the device in my pocket. I'm a huge fan of side cases and this is a really good one. (Anyone remember the awesome one that came with the T-Mobile Dash?)
After a week or so of use I've decided I'm returning the case. It simply doesn't stay on my side and it's fallen off in my car a few times. It even fell off while I was walking. I'm so disappointed in a case that could have been so good.
Sent from my GT-N7105 using xda premium
I never buy those belt clips like that, i had a bad experience with those. The belt part becomes every flimsy very fast. Im still looking for a nice belt holster that isn't ottercase or siedo.
I haven't had a problem with it falling off, but then I always had a belt on when I was using the case. It's a good case, but I've switched to the Best Buy Pt/seidio surface case. Gives the extra grip I need and love the holster.
I just received this case in the mail and I'm already loving it. The case design is really nice. I have the black sapphire phone and received the frosted clear case. It matches really well, but it would probably have matched with the black much better. The clear case shows off the sexiness of the note 5. The branding on the case isn't too overwhelming. There's a P in the middle that is right between the words Samsung and Galaxy Note 5. It kind of looks perfect sitting there. It's also branded with Poetic near the bottom of the case. I kind of wish it wasn't there. Rather it had been clear instead. The name of the case, Affinity, is on the side of the case. The case is nice and grippy and it doesn't hurt the hands at all. The back X design looks like a normal design but it serves a purpose. The corners of the X are used for bumper protection and the lines running up and down the case is used to raise the phone from a flat surface a bit. Most of the cut outs are aligned pretty accurately, with the exception of the bottom speaker. The holes are not quite aligned. I don't think it will take away any sound quality but I'm a stickler for perfection sometimes and it bothered me a little. The frost on the sides of the case kind of takes away the silver metal trimming of the phone, but overall it's still a very nice case. I have had Poetic cases before and have never been disappointed. I can highly recommend them.

Even the manufacturers of some of these cases that everyone is reviewing here have asked to keep the reviews all in one thread. Just a thought to keep the clutter at a minimum. Also it makes it easier for people who are looking for a review of a case to read through one thread rather than 4 or 5 or 6 or more....
No one said you aren't entitled to your own review. Just don't know why you need your own thread to do so. [emoji53]

I received mine as well and I like the build quality of this device. I will say that I recieved this case for free, but I will try to be as objective as I can about the case.
Protection:
Its a step above a TPU only plastic case, with clear material on this less likely contact areas to show off the phone, and black "rubberized" bumper integrated to give more structural protection. Where you might crack the corners on a tpu case, the bumper will protect the phone, offer better shock protection and most likely allow the case to survive some impacts. The bumper also crosses along the back of the case and is raised up a little so that the clear plastic doesnt touch the surface, reducing scratches. The bumper around the screen is raised above the device about 1mm or so, which will provide some additional screen protection. The buttons are sealed inside the bumper case, which is nice to prevent dust build up and also protect the switches from impact.
Look:
I got the black and clear. The clear plastic lets me see the good looks of the phone, and the bumper material gives the case a tougher look.
Function:
Buttons work normally, with no weirdness. The cutouts for the speakers dont seem to be ligned up with the holes on the speaker, but I cant tell if there really is any reduction in sound quality. The cut out for the stylus is open enough to not make it a pain to get the pen, without sacrificing protection, as far as I can tell. mini usb and headphones jacks are also easily reached.
The sides of the case along the sides has textured slashes that greatly improve the grip, which I really like. What I dont like is that compared to a slim case, you are adding some size to the width of the phone, but its definatly a trade off given the step up on protection vs a thinner plastic case, or none at all.
Last, wireless charging worked as normal. Reception for wifi and cell service was unaffected.
Whats good:
Step up in protection from a thin plain plastic case, build quality is great.
Whats not:
Makes the phone larger than naked or with a thin case. A tad heavier than one as well.
I would use this case mostly if I know the device is going to be in harsher conditions than day to day. I use a thin case for work, and I use no case at home.
Here's my review to keep things together and in one place
First off the case itself looks fantastic, perhaps a little light on my black phone but that is personal preference, because it is actually protective and not just a thing clean skin it does show and lightens the color overall. That said the design is good and actually looks nice, it has raised edges that are opaque that will help prevent the rest of the case from scratching and keep its looks.
I actually spent a good five days with the case before writing my review to see how it held up and I am very happy with it so far, I am likely going to keep it on for at least another week and then update this review, of course it may stay on longer than that but I often switch up cases so we will see. The ease of pushing buttons even compared to my Tech 21 case is very impressive.
Pros:
The buttons are very responsive, much more so than the other cases I have tried.
The amount of grip the case adds is great, yet it still slide in and out of my pocket easily.
It will draw looks, the phone already does on its own and this case mostly highlights its features.
Cons:
It would look better on a white note than a black one.
Nothing else I have found so far.
Yeah, received mine yesterday so opinion may change, but here it goes for my initial review.
So far this is one of my top favorite cases that I have. Not nearly as slippery as the Obliq Case that I ordered. The only thing I miss, and this is personal opinion, is a built in kickstand, but I also realize that can add a little on the cost. Either way though the flow and the grip of the case work fairly well.
Pros:
Less slick than the clear Obliq case which is nice considering the other one would just slide right on out of your pocket.
Has nice grip on the sides and the buttons work nicely as well.
Like the clear case with black
Cutouts are where they should be and work just fine
Cons:
None really, maybe a slight concern on being able to see any and all scratches the case gets, but that is what cases are for
One of the best
Here is my review of this case as well copied from Amazon after using the case for the past week.
This is one of the best cases I have used so far for the Note 5, and I have tried/used a lot of them.
Pros:
1. Protective without adding much bulk
2. Cut out for S Pen is perfect
3. Adds much needed grip to a slippery phone
4. Lets the beauty of the phone show through
Cons:
1. Hole cutouts for the speaker holes don't line up perfectly
This case really is a nice one, and for the price, you are getting a great case. I have the clear/black case, and really like the style that it adds to the phone. I have a slickwraps skin on the back of the phone, and it shows through nicely thanks to this design. I absolutely love the little grip edges that they put on this case. It maintains comfort in the hand, while adding some much needed grip. The cut out for the S-pen is ample and makes it very easy to press the clicking mechanism to get the pen out. What makes this case protective is what Poetic has done here with the corners of the case. The corners are nicely reinforced, and should provide some nice shock protection to the phone if it is ever dropped (I hope mine never is, but it is nice to have the protection.) The only real con I could find with this case is that for some reason, Poetic decided to make individual hole cutouts for the speaker section of the phone. For whatever reason though, those holes in the case do not line up with the speaker holes themselves and are off set from each other. Maybe Poetic should have just had one large cutout here for the speaker. Despite that mis-alignment however, the case does not seem to impede the sound at all.
Overall this case is a big win and I highly recommend it.
Disclaimer: I was provided this case by the manufacturer for review at no cost. However, this has not influenced my review in the slightest, and I do still highly recommend it.
How much actual width does it add to the device? I'm looking to get a Qi cradle for my car and need to know if it will work with this case on.
Someone give it a quick measure for me, please? Thanks in advance!
