I was just surfing amazon and found a case available that i hadn't seen before. It's by Devicewear, called The Ridge. I can't link to it as it's my first post, though i thought i'd give everyone a heads up.
Seems like an awesome case, with everything that I was looking for:
Slim profile, hard backing, folio cover, auto sleep/start, microfiber lining, decent price, available.
I ordered it and should be arriving tomorrow, i'll try to take some pics and have a short review soon if people are interested. I already have the poetic hardback, which is nice, but this one seems to be the perfect case for me.
That looks pretty nice, looking forward to your review.
Just registered and first post. Free advertisement?
Looks like a sleek case. How much did you spend?

All the reviews on Amazon by users with just one review and all posted within a few days. Lots of similarity in text (it snaps in!) For what it's worth.

Hahaha no it's just a coincidence this is my first post. Now that I read back on it, it does sound like i'm advertising lol. I've been perusing the posts on here for a little and hadn't seen anything on this particular case.

It was $25, which I didn't think was too bad, it seems like a decent case.
the case looks nice I'll be waiting to hear what you think when you receive it
Looks very nice.
The thing I don't like are the two things on the front flap to keep closed.
Decent price.
I really like this - wish it came in more colors
Looks nice, very convenient marketing scheme as well.

Totally is a good marketing scheme. Made me realize that this case is in the market and I bought it because it looks like the best one for my needs available.
I looked up a review of their iPad case and they check out:

Quick Review and pics
Wow, I had no idea that me posting that would make it seem like I'm schilling for them. Not sure what I can say to have you guys believe otherwise, but oh well. I'm not affiliated with them in any sense.
Anyways, for those that would care, it came in today (yay Amazon next-day shipping!) and I took some ****ty cell-phone pics and have some initial impressions.
The Good:
Very slim profile, doesn't add much bulk at all.
While not real, the "vegan leather" does feel pretty good and grippy in the hand. Definitely better than the pu leather stuff.
The inner lining of the front cover has some sort of rubbery, felt-ish material that seems like it will protect pretty well against scratches n such.
All buttons, ports and speakers are well-exposed and have easy access.
I love the combo of hard case to protect the back and cover for the front.
Auto sleep/awake seems to work pretty well.
The Nexus does fit pretty snugly in the case, doesn't seem like it will pop out unless coaxed.
The little ridges in the front cover line up with a ridge on the inside edge of the case to prop it up at multiple angles. It seems really sturdy, and a lot less bulky than the giant deep ridges i have in my poetic hardback.
It also flips over for a pretty good typing angle.
The not so good:
The PU backing seems a little flimsy, I've never had one of these hard cases before so I'm not sure how sturdy they normally are, but it seems like it flexes kind of easily.
While the clamps on the top and bottom edges of the cover hold it in place pretty well, they are definitely pretty flimsy and don't "snap" like you would like them to. I can also see them getting in the way, it would have been nice if they would have found another way to keep the cover shut against the tablet, like a magnet or a clamp on the right side. At least it stays in place though.
Because the case is synthetic leather, it does have a chemical smell to it, which i'm sure will dissipate over time.
Overall, I'm pretty impressed with the case. I really wish the plastic was a bit sturdier, the poetic slimline from the pictures I have seen looks a little thicker. I really do like it, and I'm happy I made the purchase. If anybody wants more pics let me know and I'll do what I can.
Looks like the clips would get in the way if the front flap was folded all the way back like a book and then set on a flat surface. Correct?

Looks nice, but the $57 shipping tag to Australia is bloody steep. Although you have a regular $11 mail service to here its not tracked, and after having 6 things lost in the post over the years I can't trust it.

They are noticable, but don't get in the way nearly as much as I would have thought. I have noticed, however, that with the back folded all the way back the magnet is strong enough to put the tablet back to sleep, so I have to put a finger in between to keep it on. Definitely annoying.
This is definitely one of the better looking cases for the N7. Its a little pricey though.
Nice review.

Looks like a great case except for this point, definitely a problem. I wonder if it's possible to take out the magnet somehow, I don't even care about the wake/sleep function much.

Is it possible to fold it in such a way that the clamps are facing up the back case (when folded back for reading), so that maybe they can snap onto the PU backing?
I guess it's a bit hard to explain but since the front cover extends all the way to the middle of the back case, is it possible to fold that part to an opposite direction (instead of folding the usual line along on the left edge of the case)
If this works, maybe it can avoid the problem you mentioned in another post, about the magnet being too strong and put the device to sleep when the front is folded back.

I don't think there's any way you can get the clips to face that direction, but I have found that if you keep the cover folded along the natural crease, forming a little triangle, I've been able to avoid the problem as well as giving you a nice little grip to hold onto. Thus far I am really enjoying the case. Although now part of me wants one of the Portenzo or Treegloo cases, they look really nice.
Ever since I heard good news that Note II will get Complete Ultra cases (from DBA cases) I have been hoping there would be a pink-black or pink silver combination. Silvers would do good too. The pinks could be more like fuchsia. So @Scott, I hope you see this. Everyone, post your desired colors for the Ultra cases. Happy wishing!
Here are the color combinations for the S3: http://www.dbacases.com/ultra-combinations.aspx
Would be pretty cool if we could get as many for Note II, come on folks, sign this petition .

We've had a hot pink in the S3 and the iPhone 5 which is coming up.
For the Note II there will be a Hot Pink TPU.
For the PC part of course we have to have white, black, titanium, and perhaps the same blue slate as the S3 which has been the most popular color.
There will be 5 to 6 PC colors and 6-7 TPU colors.
The curveball is that instead of blue they made one black.
I need to find a combo that goes well with the titanium and the white. The titanium will be harder since it's metallic.
I think a Titanium PC with a Black TPU would look the best.

I actually think it looks quite cool. The only bit of my note II which is scratched is the rim and a bumper would protect that pretty well without having to cover the entire back of the phone, and look good at the same time.
Ads and thread hijacking aren't cool though :/
Edit: oh my goodness that's expensive. No way I'd ever pay that much. Gonna report this guy because every post he makes seems to be advertising his overpriced bumpers.

I just hate anything shiny on my phone. Especially the gold.
Since it's only a bumper and metal I don't see the point. It's going to be slippery.
I considered making bumpers when I started my company but the demand just wasn't there and the cost was too much. But mine would have been for grip.

Hmm. I guess if it was slippery, that'd be a deal breaker. Metal doesn't have to be slippery though. All depends on the finish.
And I agree that the shiny gold is bad, but there's an all black version that looks pretty cool. And an addition to protecting the sides from scratches (which I think it would do very well), I think it'd probably provide a decent amount of drop protection compared to having no case, at least reducing the chances of the screen shattering from the phone landing on a corner.
But like I said, it's way too expensive as it is. And I know there's cheap ones on eBay, but they're much uglier than this version.

Actually I think it wouldn't provide any drop protection. In fact it may make it worse. It's metal which makes the phone heavier. To have any drop protection you need a material that will flex on impact or cushion.
This does neither.
But everyone has different tastes. That's why there is such a great variety of cases.
If I had to have metal I'd want brushed titanium.

Maybe that's a valid point. However, bumpers do tend to have a little bit of cushioning on the inside.
What I was suggesting was that the impact would have further to travel before reaching the screen and so would dissipate slightly, especially as the bumper is much thicker than a regular case. Not all the energy would reach the phone's screen like it would if dropped naked.
Also, metals aren't as hard as you make out. Theyre malleable, not brittle like hard plastic. They have the ability to bend and dent, and surely if dropped they would do this, again lessening the impact on the phone? Maybe a soft TPU or silicone case of the same thickness would be better in terms of drop protection, but wouldn't that look ridiculous?

Im getting pictures of the first cases from the mold tonight.
They will also be tested by my people in China.
If they are done right the first time (never happens) then it could be just a week or two.
However this is a new factory for us and they have been very fast. The sooner the better.
So for the PC
Blue Slate
Titanium
White
Black
and I need one more - it should be a brighter color. What do you think of a green emerald color? Or Violet?
For the TPU
Hot Pink
White
Black
and three others. Maybe Royal Blue, Candy Red, Lime...
How about orange for a bright pc color.

Superb. I hope it will be so good and successful as the edition for Galaxy S III.
Is this possible to order or pre-order Complete Ultra case for Note II + Just Like Glass TM Screen Protector for Note II with combined international shipment (both in one package) and with today discount $6.49 (32 %) for Just Like Glass TM Screen Protector for Note II ? Could you estimate the price for Complete Ultra cases for Note II ?
Some peoples use Seidio Active holsters with third party cases (Otterbox Commuter or Balistic Shell Gel (SG). Could you estimate if Complete Ultra case for Note II could fit Seidio Active holster for Note II or do you plan to provide any own holster for this case ?
Did these DBA Ultra cases ever get released for the Note 2? Looked promising...

I don't know about using clear please let me know.
Scott, in general what makes these cases standout or better from any other dual layer (silicone inner shell, plastic outer shell - ebay or brand name) cases? Here is your chance to do a sales pitch or others to jump in with testimonials
I have been going a little case-crazy lately (addiction perhaps? lol!!!), went through a bunch of ebay cheapo stuff, now moved on to brand names. I see clearly you offer a very flexible selection of color choices/combos that's probably a big selling point of it, but anything else that makes it stand out in comparison to others before I consider adding it to my growing collection?
Thank you Scott for taking your time to walk us through the manufacturing process. I personally enjoyed this read very much!!!

No problem. As you can tell I'm a bit OCD about it :silly:
I try to learn everything I possibly can so the final product comes out the way I want. Even so it's a constant job dealing with so many manufacturers. You would think I could hand the S3 case to them and say "make a Note II just like this" since they are nearly identical phones (except for size).
Unfortunately that's not how it works...

Hey Scott,
Sorry if this has been answered somewhere but I love the idea of the Thin Case Grips. Will that be an option for the Ultra cases? I hate it when a case feels real nice but it's so smooth with no grip that it's easy to just slip out of your hand
I want to get me another protective case,cover for my sgs note 2 N7100. Currently i am using samsungs protective Cover+ and it's a bit to smooth, slippery when i am holding it and it only protects my phone from scratches
I have the tough case from case mate on my sgs 3 and i think i looks big compared to how small a sgs 3 is, especially compared to my current phone a note 2 which is bigger then a sgs 3. I would like to hear your opinions on how good the tough case for a note 2 N7100 is and if theres any cheaper alternatives i can get with free or at a resonable shipping to denmark (DealExtreme is so slow, more then 14 days i have waited for 2 cheap screen protectors for my note 2 with free shipping, so i don't wont to wait that long)

The demand for it so overwhelming they ran out of stock. So whoever placed an order last month will be getting their case next week (you should check on the same page, someone already received it). Yeah, so they are out of stock but I'm sure it will be back soon. Just have to wait. Not sure what do you mean about reviews. There is only one post with someone who already received it on Sat and absolutely loves it. Wait till next week when you going to see a lot more detailed reviews in this forum.

Reviews of what? Nobody HAS it yet. People review a picture, and either say they "like it" or "hate it". Nobody has reviewed the actual product yet to confirm the quality and the fitment, which I'm sure not going to let us down.
I handled a number of Note 2 cases, read/watched a lot of reviews from actual note 2 users (not those "everything is great" reviews on YT because they want extra clicks). What I found, all these cheap ebay cases are OK as a temp solution, but the material is inferior and will stretch after awhile (especially those dual layer with silicon inner shell). Otterbox Defender is a massive brick with a flexing screen protector and people complaining about echo, Commuter has a slippery back, Seidio Active inner silicon will stretch and get loose at the top and the bottom after awhile (pulling away), Surface is pain in the arse with two interlocking halves, Ballistic corners are over exaggerated and bulky, Trident Aegis is nice but the back doesn't look even, even Beyond Cell Tri-Shield got some negative reviews with sub par material and inner silicon shell pulling away at the top/bottom, flip cases are nice to protect screen but not the whole phone protection and pain in the arse when you need to take a picture and/or constantly flip it open when you need to use the phone. Also, keep in mind if you want to use car mount, some of these cases will not fit in, etc. Again, this is just my personal opinion, everybody entitled to one and some will disagree with me. I'm looking for a case that you can lie down evenly on the back (without any wobble) or the front (thus also having a decent lip protection), power/volume buttons not too hard or too soft, case is not too bulky and slides in/out of the jeans pocket without picking up too much lint, fits in general grip car mounts, has a decent drop protection, easy to take phone out of the case and at the same time has a snug fit with no edges pulling away or loosing up after awhile, and with a unique design Is that too much to ask? lol!!! Hoping UAG case will be able to meet all these requirements, and Case-Mate Tough Case will be my back up case!

This is the only ebay case I haven't tried This one might actually work because it has plastic outer shell covering top/bottom. In mine temporary case I'm using right now (the first one in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36730711&postcount=714) it was great for about a month or two, but now the inner silicon at the bottom is pulling away and dust gets inside.

I'm looking for a case that you can lie down evenly on the back (without any wobble) or the front (thus also having a decent lip protection), power/volume buttons not too hard or too soft, case is not too bulky and slides in/out of the jeans pocket without picking up too much lint, fits in general grip car mounts, has a decent drop protection, easy to take phone out of the case and at the same time has a snug fit with no edges pulling away or loosing up after awhile, and with a unique design Is that too much to ask? lol!!! Hoping UAG case will be able to meet all these requirements, and Case-Mate Tough Case will be my back up case!

This is the only ebay case I haven't tried This one might actually work because it has plastic outer shell covering top/bottom. In mine temporary case I'm using right now (the first one in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=36730711&postcount=714) it was great for about a month or two, but now the inner silicon at the bottom is pulling away and dust gets inside. Waiting for my UAG and Tough Case to arrive next week!!!

product is temporarily unavailable because all of their first batch has been pre sold, and it is currently chinese new years so more cases arent being made until after the 15 day holiday.
99% of the reviews on the page are useless since only a few of them actually have the physical case.
price i didnt have a problem with since someone on xda shared a discount code.

Sorry man if English is not your first language (I wasn't born in US either ), but these are NOT ACTUAL reviews of the product. The product just started to ship a few days ago. ALL of those reviews are from people who DO NOT have the case yet. They just looked at the picture and making a comment if they like the picture or do not like the picture. Did you read those reviews? Don't look at # of stars, those are people IMPRESSIONS of what they think about the product based on the picture on UAG site.
Do you want to read actual review of the product UAG already released? Go to Amazon and search for UAG Galaxy S3. You will find 933 reviews with an average rating of 4.75 stars. That is a reason why this case is so hyped up. People expect it to be as good as S3 case. The comments on Note 2 page of UAG are NOT reviews, those are comments about people either saying "looks cool" or "why did you change the design from S3 version". Plus, you get a few negative comments from people who are waiting for their case and still haven't received it yet. Those are comments with "effen" references lol!!!

I just was referring to the delivering problems they have, like people is saying they have ordered it and it took a long time before they started to ship it.
Watched this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ySorsozRZxQ and the sgs 3 version looks different then the note 2 version (why? only because of the size difference?), how is the grip? the 2'nd custom review i so of the sgs 3 version thought it was a bit slippery, dont like the corners so much on the note 2 version, find them a bit to big,bulky.
When is it possible to buy one and is the price the same as the tough case (40 $) that i know has a good grip. Mabye i have missed something (if i did miss something i will read it again ), but why the UAG before the tough case?
I appreciate your opinions and i'd like to hear more opinions on a good case,cover for my note 2, i just don't want to buy the tough case if theres one that much better although i have the feeling that the tough case i one of the best, top of the line.
There was a coupon "friends50" that you could use with Tough Case to buy it for $20. You can't use it on-line anymore, but if you can contact them (probably calling directly is not an option for you?) maybe they can honor it?
Again, just my personal opinion since I have been "studying" these cases for the last couple of months I put UAG before Touch Case because of its lighter 1-piece design and a more modern urban look (I like the reversible orange/black grill on white Navigator for my white GN2), versus Tough Case offering blue/grey 2-piece design. I'm getting both of them to have my own hands'on experience. I know everybody raves about Tough Case, but I have to see how that inner bumper feels. So far I didn't like any designs with inner silicon cases, but read Tough Case inner bumper is more like TPU sturdy. Will see... Yes, I'm a little bit biased toward UAG, but it can all change once I have both in my hands and compare one to the other.

I've only had mine a month, but it looks exactly how it did when it was new. If you're looking to try others out, put this one on your list. I actually just ordered another in blue. My wife got a dark purple one, and it's so stunning, it makes my black one look boring and sad. The dark blue seems to have recently hit ebay, and I found it for $6.59 shipped. I hope it looks as nice as the purple.

tappity tap tapped from my Eclipsed Note 2
I'm looking for a protective case for my Note 2 that has a grippy/hard rubber feel that doesn't slide around when I lay it down on it's back. I have an Otterbox commuter but the back is hard plastic and slides around a lot if I lay it down unless I flip it over. My wife has an Iphone and her otterbox has a very grippy rubbery feel that is non slip. I wish their Note 2 cases were like that. I'm looking at the Griffin Survivor case and was wondering if anyone has any other recommendations before I try it out? Thanks!

This case has been discussed by many on this forum and it has good reviews. It is definitely protective and grippy. You can even tell from the back rubbery design. If you want something slim, with a soft matte feel, i'd get the Six Abundant Case: http://www.amazon.com/DBA-Cases-Abu...=1378141992&sr=8-1&keywords=six+abundant+case
Wow, that first one definitely looks grippy!

Do you know if the back is hard plastic or a softer rubber feel on the first one? I need it to stay put on a flat surface as I move around at work. The Commuter slides all over the place, which I cannot have. It will "stick" if I turn it over because of the rubber edges, but I need the phone to be face up/hands free. Thanks again for your suggestions.

From all the reviews and things I have heard about it, it seems to be in the middle. A hard rubber. So it's good for shock absorption. Definitely not a soft rubber because that would wear out very easily. However, from what everyone in the forums have said and from the amazon reviews, it seems like it will stay in place without issue. Also, it's only $10 and from amazon. If you don't like it, you can ship it back the same day for a full refund without any cost to you. Just keep the original box/packaging.
Here's a quote from someone who has it: "The back part of the case (the black exterior) feels more like silicone than plastic which gives it a nice look and grip. I have dropped my phone once on this case and I have to say that this case does a very good job on absorbing impact."

It's a hard plastic exo with a softer plastic inner. I have this case and it will not hold in place on a hard flat surface. Mine will not even "stick" when placed screen down. The kickstand is about a 4/10 (flimsy, too easily collapsed etc)
Also, the buttons, imo, are junk. Last night, after I started using this case again after owning it for ~6 months (used for 2 weeks), I took a razor blade to the buttons. Couldn't stand them being so difficult to press.
However, the drop protection is definitely up to the same level as the commuter, for being such a cheap case.
I'd say it's worth the price, maybe even less.
Also, I have a similar six abundant case that was free. And although it's very nice, and my most used case, it offers very little protection, and definitely not "grippy" on surfaces.
Wish I had some suggestions. The Griffin Sur. looks grippy. If you search the forum here there are a few people that bought one and commented on the quality. I believe they don't officially support it.. So it's actually a knockoff.
Edit2: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2174889 has info for the knockoff griffin. Enjoy.

Thanks for the input, bro. That's rather unfortunate. I guess other sources don't have the best description then.
Have you looked into the body glove case? That looks pretty nice and there is a lot of discussion recently on it in the Post Your Pics of Your Phone thread. Check it out.

Definitely bro, maybe others will chime in with different opinions about it.
I was actually just revisiting the idea of the body glove refined gel case (been subbed to that thread for forever). I remember it being a very popular case earlier this year. At one point there was an eBay seller with ~50 of them for $8+free shipping. I should have jumped on it then. I'm just afraid that the lower section of the case (shiny area) will end up scratching easily (read: shiny back mercury case).
Still haven't even gotten around to trying the UAG... Even though I designed and 3D printed some custom inserts.
What case are you rockin?

3d printing?? Dude that's awesome! I saw on geeky gadgets or theawesomer website ad about a 3d real time laser scanner. It was really impressive. Expensive ($1400 I think) but very cool. Right now I'm using my Six Abundant Case. I rotate between that and my white UAG case. The UAG case is worth it for me. It's not super bulky and protects my phone extremely well. I have large hands so I have no problem gripping and using my phone in one hand with either case on. I do have way too many cases at this point. I even have the casemate tough. Totally forgot to mention that. That definitely has a good feel in terms of grip and it is super slim for a fully protective case. Another nice one is the DBA ultra case. I'll most likely be upgrading to the note 3 so I stopped buying more cases, lol.

Yeah! Got into robotics development at my University a few years back and somehow got nominated to be the guy that learns the ins/outs of our 3D printer so that I can teach others everything about it (even the computer science professors). In the printing world, $1400 is fairly cheap for a production item.
I did see the 3D scanner. I believe it is going to be made by Makerbot. We made our own using a Kinect (think: xbox 360) to do real-time scans of objects and roll them into 3D files. However, I usually make one-off prints so I have to build them entirely by hand in a 3D environment.
Agh.. You are making it hard not to press the "complete my order" button for the black uag haha. I too have large hands/long fingers; I often get my iPhone-using-friends asking me how I always use one hand with this beast. If I was a female I'm sure I'd have gained muscle from just using it by now lol.
Forgot about casemate. I'll have to check them out. (have their tough case on my Skyrocket & love it)
I'll most likely be upgrading as well (if not at least a smart watch).. So now seems like a bad time for me to by yet another case.. But.. I have an addiction lol.

That's really nice, bro. I know $1400 is not that expensive when it refers to such technology, but I meant in general - that's like a nice fully loaded laptop price, lol. I'm familiar with Kinect/Xbox360 so yeah, that's really interesting. I'm sure the whole 3D development can take time from scratch. Maybe I missed them, but did you ever post pics of your 3D-rendered cases? I'd love to see how they turned out.
Yes, the Case-Mate Tough is solid. I have the same black one as in this teamvenum review: http://www.teamvenum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=686
I know you complained about the buttons you eventually cut out of your Sentinel case. This is where the UAG shines. The button design makes it super easy to press the covered buttons. The one thing I love about my UAG case is that I can just toss my phone around onto my bed or the table like whatever without any worry. The shock absorption technology on UAG cases is pretty solid. I even got one for my father's S3 and he loves it (esp since he is accident prone/clumsy with all technology, lol).
Yes, the smart watch upgrade is definitely happening for me as well. I can't wait till they release the Samsung Gear this September. It's definitely going to be a step up from my pebble watch, which I use and wear all the time.
Also, your addiction...I understand all too well, especially being a huge tech fanatic. If you don't have a solid protective/easy to hold case currently and work in an environment where you really need that, I would go for it.

I never printed any cases for my Note 2, just the inserts for the UAG case with lettering and glow in the dark filament etc. I did make four cases for my gf's S3 but in the end she moved to a pink folio wallet case (which would take too much time to make haha). I've since then had two dead SD cards.. So I've lost a lot of pictures (backups are my priority every 24hrs now..). The cases were more of a "wow factor" type of thing. Everywhere we went people asked more about her case than my huge phone lol.. Lead to a lot of explanations of what a 3D printer is.. But After a few times on/off of the case they'd get weak and start to crack at random layers of which the printer printed it (our printer has a resolution of 0.001mm).
Started sanding the area of the Sentinel case today that I hacked out with the razor to make it smoother. Only had about ten minutes with some 1600grit paper, so I got one side pretty smooth!
I wanted to pledge money to the kreyos smart watch but got worried that I'd be stuck with money in the air for it and no item on my wrist until next summer.. The galaxy gear is definitely going to be watched (pun intended)! As long as it stays within $200-300..
As you can tell, it's hard for me to commit to some purchases lol!
To op: I remember seeing some peel & stick grip strips for phones. They were just thin clear gel-type adhesive strips. Been looking for them but can't find the review. Honestly, I'd also like a grippy case..
Edit: found it! www.egrips.com/ check it out.
Thanks for everyone's input...much appreciated. I own the Bodyglove case but I is still harder plastic than I would like. Its a decent case though. I had the Casemate Toughcase for my Note 1 and liked it, very protective as well, but still had a hard plastic outer shell. Maybe I'll research on getting some type of nonslip rubber strips for my Otterbox to see how that works. There are a few cases mentioned here I'll have to take a look at. Thanks again to you all.

Try the DBA Cases Ultra protection cases very good quality and good feel
http://www.dbacases.com/samsung.html
I have the UAG case. I have used the UAG line of cases for all my phones and they are solid. They have the bevel in the front so if it drops face down you wont shatter your screen and it has extra cushion on the corner bumpers. They are only $30 - $35 online. They fit on my OEM samsung dock with spare batttery charger.
The reason why I trust all my phones in the UAG case is that my wife's nephew through my note down the escalator at the mall. My heart stopped as I saw it tumble and bounce off every step. When I went to get it, the phone and case didnt have a scratch on it. The otterboxes are great but they are way too big. Especially for our note.
I am using a cheap eBay tpu. Smoke clear and it is rubber. It works great and protects just fine. Best of all it was only a buck and a half! Rubber does a pretty decent job of keeping it from sliding around unless it is on something very slick. keeps good in the hand too

I have the body glove from sprint.
I feel it offers the best for daily use and it has pocketablility which is nice. It doesn't get hung up as it has a glossy surface at the bottom of the phone.
Hi guys and gals, it's been a while since I've done a case review and this time it's a case from French manufacturer Noreve, who are known for their hand made, premium and genuine leather cases.
This time around I decided to go for a pouch, as I wanted something different, and was also curious as to how it was going to be crafted, since these are all hand made. Why the pouch, you ask? Well I just think they look great. While not the most practical of cases maybe, as you have to take the device out each and every time you want to use it, and you can't use the always on display, I just think it looks elegant. Going out for the night? Throw this case on. I've found it to be great since you're not distracted when any notifications come in, and when you put it on a table, it just looks elegant like most other phone cases simply do not. I'm not a big fan of plastic cases because they make the device look cheap. Think about it, you buy a phone for nearly $800, then you put a $5 plastic case on it, which just looks terrible. In my opinion, it totally takes away from the phones metal and glass construction. Also with the S7 Edge, I love the way it feels in the hand naked, and with this case you always have that experience.
As always, this case from Noreve is also exceptionally well made. It took a few weeks for it to arrive, since they only start making them once you order one, and depending on the finish, it can take longer or shorter. But normally it's about two weeks, which is perfectly fine for a custom made, leather case.
Unboxing a Noreve case is always an event. It comes in a very handsome red box, which is sealed by plastic wrap. Inside the box, you'll find a protective red pouch for your case - this is a very nice touch, and I love that they do this, when they really don't have to. But the devil is in the details. Inside the pouch, you'll find your case - and the first thing that you'll probably notice is the brilliant smell of genuine leather. It just adds something to the overall experience that I enjoy.
The case is made exceptionally well. Noreve cases have always been constructed with very high attention to detail, but I believe it's even higher now as there are no flaws with the case whatsoever. Because this is a pouch style case, there are no cut outs for the camera, power or volume rocker buttons. None for the micro USB or headphone jack, either. The only cut outs are for the speakers on the bottom. I think this is perfectly fine, and whenever I wanted to charge the phone or plug in some headphones, I'd just reverse the phone and put it into the pouch in reverse. I found this to be a practical and easy solution.
In conclusion, I am pretty much blown away by this company yet again. Never received a bad case from them, they only seem to get better. Mine is in the Ambition (grained leather) finish, but Norever offer a whole bunch of different finishes which you can also then customize. Basically, the sky is the limit. These guys can do whatever you want. They're a bit on the pricey side (my case was $45.40 - free shipping with DHL) but as we all know, you get what you pay for. This is not one of those Chinese made, fake leather cases which will rip and tear after a few months. Hell, I'm still using the one I have for my Galaxy Nexus, which should say something.
Here are some pictures below of this beauty. Thank you all for reading, and here's a link to their product page.
Cheers.

The inner material is also leather, but more of a matte leather with the company logo branded into it. I'll try to get a picture up for you, but I haven't had any problems with it scratching the screen.

You can just order online from their site here, I believe they have worldwide free shipping with DHL.
Honestly to me that looks like a recipe for disaster. If anything like a grain of sand gets in it, you are running the screen down the inside material and it could scratch it.

Depends on where you live and what you do I guess. Last time I was in contact with actual sand was like 4 years ago.
Nice review and beautiful pictures.
Great review and photos, but it's not for me personally.
