i had one for my xperia z ultra and when the flip cover was within half an inch of the screen it would be pulled towards it. the only ones i've seen are the ones with a magnetic clasp which i don't like. i've thought about adding magnetic tape to the inside of the s-view flip case i have now but figured to check this route first.

Honestly, I feel the rubberized back cover will be hard to scratch or damage, so adding another layer there is somewhat pointless IMHO. However, a bumper to protect all the edges and the screen (if it's slightly raised) would be ideal for us. What do you guys think?
I'd like a flip cover (with the magnetic clip), but I feel like all flip covers are going to come with a back cover to hold it in place. Now, a rubber bumper with a flip smart cover would be amazing!
Anyways, any chance we'll see bumpers released for this badboy?
Personally, I'm quite disappointed with the accessory options thus far for the N7 considering the volume of units being sold. The I/O edition has been released for quite some time. Some of the big manufacturers (Incipio, Case-Mate, etc) should have released something by now.
I agree completely! I would love to have a bumper case that just goes around the edges and protects them with a flip cover (like the smartcover for the iPad).

Seems cool. Gonna check it out
A dream that can be easily come true with a little effort from Asus and Google
I completely agree, that's exactly what I would want. I simple bumper with a detachable front cover. Simple and slim.
Most people still haven't gotten their N7, I expect to see some "smart cover" type accessories around the middle of August.

Hey fellas,
Got my hands on another case for the Note II, this time it is the Tridea Italian leather flip case. It is reminiscent of the SGP Valentinus case, although it is much more affordable and not as bulky. It's a folio style case, so it features a front flap to keep your display protected. Unfortunately there is nothing to hold it in place, so it tends to flap around. The ports and cutouts are spot on, however.
Check out the full video review below;
great review
Cheers! Happy to help
do you reccomend this case mate? i would like one with the flip cover to protect the screen, but would also like a case tough enough to protect my phone in case of drops or bumps. it looks like flip covers are all "light" protective, while tough cases are way too bulky or do not provide any protection to the screen (no plastic film protectors for me! i hate them!). thank you a lot!!!
The flap actually isn't a big deal. I've been using a similar case for a week now and unless you have a giant pocket the flap stays shut.
I actually prefer not to have a magnetic or grommet styled securing device.
And let's face it. as for drop protection, these type of cases just don't compare to the UAG or Otterbox cases.

So basically you say that this case goes for style and look and moderate protection, while the others go for enhanced protection, right? Just as I thought... Does it exist a tough case as uag but with a flap or such to cover the screen? I am afraid because of 4 hours of commuting a day... A little bump or sudden train braking may make me drop my phone.. And I wouldn't trust only a plastic film to protect the screen. Holsters like otterbox defender one, on the other hand, are uncomfortable to use while in the crowd and one handed..
Thank you for your suggestion, this case looks superb, but maybe it's not the right thing for me...

I keep hoping for someone to make a UAG with a flip cover.

I just returned the case to Amazon for 2 reasons.
1- The flap was warped - and did not cover the screen right.
2- There is virtually no top or bottom protection - the device is held only on the sides - the top and bottom are naked.
On the plus side - I have'nt seen a product with this good quality - in a long time. It is a really well made case - just not tough and protective enough for my taste.
Im using this one for few months and I like it.

I just got my Galaxy Note II and I did not like the Samsung OEM Flip Case it came with. I feel like it only protects the screen if the phone ever drops, and if it happens to hit any of the four corners in a drop, the phone would be done for. I've been looking into wallet cases, but most of them are magnetic and seem to interfere with the S-Pen. Does anyone know of a good flip case that snaps onto the device itself, similar to this one?

Magnetic catch on flip cases
I recently bought a Zenus case which I like a lot. The only thing I am not keen on is the press stud on the front so that whenever you close it you are pressing a bit on the glass. The Zenus case I got a long time ago for my original Galaxy Tab has a magnetic closure and this is really good. However, I am confused about whether magnetic catches badly affect the S-pen usage. Some reviews mark down cases because a magnetic closure interferes with the S-pen. Is this true of all cases with magnetic closures? Are there any flip cases with magnetic closures that do not affect S-pen use?

i just ordered one of those. it has a full tpu case on the phone plus a multipurpose leather flap attached to it that allows it to act as either a vertical or horizontal stand. it also fixes the thing i hate the most about flip covers - camera use. with most flip covers, the flap just feels flimsy, dangles everywhere and gets annoying. with this one, you can fold the flap back, and fold down a portion of the leather to stop it from obstructing the camera. quite useful.
the black and brown flap versions have a dark brown-ish semitransparent tpu case. the other colours all have a transparent tpu case.
it also has a magnetic lock on it as well.
as per title, i have a flip cover which clips over the back of the phone. it is notthe battery cover replacmenet flip case.
I prefer the one i have as offers more protection, it came in a genuine looking box stating it was official, but i can not find it anywhere... i ordered a eLife one that looked very similar:
h**p://www.amazon.co.uk/eLifeStore%C2%AE-Samsung-Galaxy-N7100-Leather/dp/B00AEM1E0E/ref=sr_1_25?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1368100311&sr=1-25&keywords=note+2+flip+cover
but the build is rubbish, its shape is bad and doesnt fit well.
any idea s of where i can get a genuine version of this particular flip case? (the phone slips in and is held securly by the corners "lips" i guess i cal lthem. mine is light / sky blue on the outside, plastic on the back and leather front and spine.

There was a thread a while back that discussed folio covers and several of the type you describe were revied. Try a search for "folio" and or "flip" and covers and see what comes up.

Hi.
Does anyone know of a book style flip case which uses something other than a magnet to hold the lid closed?
Seems the magnets interfere with the s-pen.

Please note that you have to bend out the edge hook of the open flip cover a bit since it is to tight. Otherwise it woud damage your note if you open and close the flip many times
On the pricier side but the Spigen Snap is a really good case. Detachable shell from the wallet which is useful.

Thanks for the suggestion. This did look like a nice case, while searching for more info on it I stumbled upon the Spigen Illuzion case which is a bit more affordable while still fulfilling all my requirements. I've just ordered one and look forward to receiving it soon.

flip cases with a magnet on the side or in the flap shouldn't be a problem.
the only real issue is with cases that use a strong magnet behind the screen.
They are a little pricey but the offer great protection.

I had a flip case with magnet in the side. Found that the Pen wouldnt work on that side - Not by much - maybe 1 CM semi circle from the center of the Magnet around the screen.
So I removed it with a scalpel, took a little while since it was glued in but once removed all worked well expect that the case wouldnt hold shut which honestly was no big issue.
