Vivid Dual Layer Cases For Note 5 Needs Suggestions - Galaxy Note5 Accessories

A little while back Artech 21 gave away a few some of their cases for you guys to be able to review them. They seem like a great company with good products. After I tried their last case, they reached out to me to see if you guys would be willing to try another one of their note 5 cases.
I'm not affiliated with the company, but just agreed to pass along what they said below for anyone who wants to try out their case. Please don't PM me personally. You can post here and follow their instructions by messaging them in facebook to try the case.

I have pmed your facebook

I just messaged you folks on FB... I'd definitely be interested! I've been considering a good case for my Note 5, and a Gold/Navy would look nice, and I especially like that there is no cover over the spen slot as many cases do, and I use my spen far too much to want an awkward cover.

Sent a message to the FB account. Interested in how the red looks in person and how well it provides coverage.
Sent from my SM-N920V using XDA Free mobile app

Oh Im interested in testing this case. Especially since I dropped my n5 recently and it totally made me regret not having a case.
Sent from my SM-N920T using Tapatalk

Im in for the review if still available.

I'm down for trying it out!!!

I did message him. Didn't get a code or anything though. There was a post on the main Facebook page where he told someone to use code "artech50" so I tried that. It gave me 50% off. So I just bought it at that price. Will post review when I get it.

Update: He did get back to me. I was able to get another case for the review. Will post as soon as I am able to test it out.

the battery cover does not include the NFC sensor, you will need to add one to it, to use the function.

back from china.
my supplier says the white cases, are not available yet in china, and will contact me when they arrive, I have ordered 35 pieces, also I did notice today that china in shenzhen, they just got delivery of over 100 black nexus s, all the shops were testing the units before they start to sell them, they were all wrapped in bubble wrap, and all are to be sold without boxes, the shipment was from europe or the us, without the boxes, they skip paying tax, that what i've been told.
So where to buy the cover 'cause at the ebay thing at the other post is postet that the list is ended so i cannot buy it i think, I'm right?

Haha very neat, we can tell all the fanboys we got iPhone 9 prototype
Damn, I have no idea how to order it, can't find it on ebay.
Yeah no thanks. Apple doesn't deserve to have anything to do with this phone.

I kinda like it. Like the metal button pushers.
Wonder how kind it is on the sides of the phone housing in terms of scratches?
I'd be interested in seeing where you could pick one up from, and the price !

Not because it make our phone like an Iphone, but I like it ^_^ and hope if it comes with other colours
Maybe Scott from DBA can helps bring these from China
I'm interested in both colors if it's not too expensive.
Damn TBH that looks really good..but sadly it probably doesnt have an NFC antenna on the back cover..I have some friends in China who send me stuff if i ask them to quite often..i might be able to get a hold of that case.Can we please get a link ?
It looks so slick that I would like to use a silicon protector skin on top of it!
Seriously, looks-wise it seems perfect, but I have doubts about protection and dust sealing qualities.
Get ready to be sued by pathetic apple
do they ship to U.S? and is it really $2.37 dollars?

Tried to order it, and translate the page, but when I chose silver color, and want to pay, it says "share the baby"wtf,I can't pay for this case, anyone else managed it?

The slot for the pen looks like it has too much excessive free space but I guess that's because of the look.
I kinda like the look, no doubt it will protect the phone well. Next time I am in china I will look out for some.
I want this!! If anyone figures out how to order it PLEASE SHARE!! I want the white silver version. I also tried to translate/order and got "share baby" too. I tried to set up an account but the translator is limited. If anyone knows who is making these.. TELL THEM TO PUT THEM ON REAL EBAY!

And please, let's not turn this into a flame war over the pricing of some of their stuff. I for one would gladly pay 100+ for a Sector 5 version of the case for my Note 2 :victory::victory::victory:
Looks like some awesome design! I don't pay too much attention to price as long as it matches the quality.
Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
Except Sector 5 versions probably going to cost $200... Awesome cases, but damn expensive
I for one would LOVE IT if element would start making cases for the Note2. I have been a fan of their stuff for a very long time.

I really hope they do, i've been looking for awhile and haven't found one i like
I thought the Eclipse case with the sound redirecting was ingenious but I'm not sure if that added any bulk to the case. Would be cool to have on our N2's as well though :good::fingers-crossed:
They would sell a lot of cases for our phone; people with the best phone, will pay up for top of the line products like this..
I'll be keeping an eye on this but no way in hell I'm going to pay over 100 for a case =O must be made of gold!!!!
I would be game for one of these, regardless of the price is the designs turn out as good as the S3.
Always looking for nice unique cases, ones that aren't at your local mall case vendor.
+1 for element, someone send them a link to this thread.
I paid £500 for my phone, I am not going to baulk at paying $100 for a case, I've got a cheap one at the moment to protect it while I look out for a quality case
Anyone have an update on this? I'd love to have one of their cases. I remember their original iphone cases and they were crazy back then too with a see through magnetic plastic screen cover. Coolest case ever.

TPU/plastic Bumper only case

Hello All,
Tried to look for this via search, google/youtube and can't seem to find one. There seems to be various aluminum bumpers on Ebay but from what I've been told/read it does reduce wifi/cell so definitely don't want that and not really keen on aluminum protection.
I'm getting a Dbrand Skin sent in and would like the bumper protection. I'm pretty careful with my phones but occasionally will drop and that soft tpu bumper really works well. Unfortunately it seems like everything TPU made comes with a back cover. I'd rather not cut-out a clear bumper since it'll be rough/ragged lol.
Anyone seen, know of one?
Best,
Zio
Try the RhinoShield bumper from Evolutive Labs. I think they'll begin shipping them in a few weeks. According to their website, the do sell one for the Galaxy S7 now. Hope that helps.

Thanks Sade! I've reached out to the company to see if they have plans to do so.
Had a rhinoshield on my note 5 and loved it. It did make the phone wider and taller, but it was nice to feel the glass on the front and back of the phone; plus great confidence for drop protection. There's some youtube videos on their product.
With the glass back on the Samsung phones, I think I'll feel a lot better with a case that protects the back, too.
If you get the rhinoshield bumper get the back screen protector with it as it is excellent
I've got a mahogany DBrand skin so got the back part covered! I'm mostly careful with my phone. If I ever do drop it, it's usually on to my carpet when getting off the couch or bed lol.

+1 Just e-mailed their support team with a link to this thread & the other one in the S7 Edge accessory section regarding backless bumpers.
Got a response from the folks @ RhinoShield just hours after contacting 'em:
Hi,

For the s7 Edge we are still looking for way to overcome the difficulties associated with its contoured sides. If we have a breakthrough for it, you can be sure that we will announce it at our Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ( https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ).

Already received my cases today. I will be doing full review on them after I get my Ultra on the 29th. These are very nice cases.
I´m so stupid, if not in the usa, thanks , i wrote him an email..
I'm not in the US but have emailed, will see if I hear anything.
I just emailed both.
I heard back from Schnail and they said it was still US only. A shame. Let's see what ArmadilloTek say
Applied for ArmadilloTek, usually I don't go for rugged cases but I would definitely be interested in trying one out.
Got Mine yesterday, Just waiting for my S21 Ultra to put in it.
Thank You guys.
The Armadillotek program is a scam. Buy all 3 versions with your own money and they supposedly PayPal you back what you paid. The compensation never occurs and you're out money and stuck with 2 useless cases. On top of that, the "red" case is not red. It is a mash-up of orange and pink.

Definitely no scam bud. Been doing this for 2 years now. U show them screenshot of price of phone cases from Amazon total with tax and shipping. They send u the amount it is via PayPal, then u order the cases with that money. I've never had to purchase the cases first.
I finally got reimbursed for the purchase. Odd way to go about reviewing cases.
Update, Armadillotek sent me the payment and cases have been ordered.
Too bad is US only
My phone is coming 29 January
