This type of leather wallet cases that you buy are a great way to save space in your pockets by combining your wallet and your phone into one. I received this "Real Full Grain Leather Wallet Case" and really enjoyed how well it was packed. It came in a iPulse bag, and once I removed it, it was again wrapped in some protective plastic. I placed my new Note 8 into the TPU slot where the phone goes, and it fits nice and snug. It a soft TPU type holder which isn't hard plastic and protects the phone also from scratches when inserting it. The wallet smells good too with that new Leather smell. The stitching is and looks hand done (unsure if it is), but it is all perfect. The leather has a soft feel too it. Cards fit snug in the slots. There is enough room for 2 credit cards, and license. A slot under them for money and other items. You maybe able to fit two cards per slot but I didn't try. Also, the magnet closer that holds the wallet closed has good strength to hold it well. I had no issues of it coming open.
Two areas of improvement I would recommend but more of a personal preference. It would be nice if it shuts off the phone screen like some of them do with magnets. Also, there is no cut out for the ear piece speaker so you have to keep the wallet open when talking on the phone.
Otherwise, a great wallet! Good job! Here are some nice pictures I took of the experience of unpacking it and putting my phone in it.

One note: In the video the guy states he has "a scratch on my phone already" because it's "wide open" at the bottom.
When in fact, the phone is not scratched at all. The case it pops into is. I thought that was kinda funny.
actually all this kind case needs no holes for the earpiece, just turn the volume to the max, imageine there is hole, and talk with case closed

This is an excellent case. Form, fit and finish are excellent. The TPU will protect against side scratches, but like most leather cases, the impact drop protection is not great-and certainly not Milspec rated. However, the magnetic latch and leather edges offer some drop/scratch protection.

I've found leather wallets to be great for drop protection and I've never broke a screen in one. I know it's happened and it doesn't mean I cant or wont but I've gone through a lot of phones and a lot of these style cases and they've all taken a few drops without damage. I do agree they are not the best possible protection but I'd say they're a fair bit better than the average case.

This one does a great job about protection.
The magnetic closure keeps it closed all the time, so dropping is never a problem for me.
FYI, I DO INSTALL GLASS SCREEN PROTECTOR
Anyone have advice on how to run the shiney leather to suede on these cases. ? I'm thinking wet and dry sandpaper or wire wool perhaps.

As I mentioned a few months ago the suede one looks like a book which I didn't like. Now, this one feels like suede and the right color for me. Also, since the sheen has gone, it's going to age better with staining and what not. Grips and feels good also

Agree with your assessment of the images. Hopefully someone will order one and post better pictures.
I'd buy one, but I live in an area where I get 2-3 bars. That case would put me into permanent roam.
I don't think it is much different than the gs2 model, as it's just a simple 2-piece frame. Somebody - who ridiculously tries to assemble it with one hand, while shooting the video with the other - posted a Youtube video. I cannot paste the link as I'm a new member.

doesnt really look like a good design.
the holes around the headphone jack and the microusb port seem to be smaller than the holes in my ebay bumper case. given that my ebay bumper case stops me from using a lot of headphone cables and microUSB cables, i would assume this case would be downright silly for the price.
I don't like it....
.I bought this case for s II and note...but design for note 2 is failed
Metal bumpers for Note 2 are terrible designed because Note 2 is too curvy compare to other phones and the bumpers usually does not fill in the gaps of the curve back, and usually at the same level without raised edges to protect the back from scratching too.
A no no for me since I tried with a cheap bumper case from eBay

i think this is a bumper you're looking for. raised over the back so your phone's back cover wont touch whatever you put it on.
OMG 70 bucks for a BUMPER!?!?!?! JFC!!!!?!?!?!?
Wow....Looks good. But i fear that this bumper will make the phone look too wide.

Sorry guys, maybe I don't get this, but wouldn't any metal bumper case be only for looks and not protection? Edges of the phone, when dropped, are the most vulnerable points, and slapping on it a tight fitting metal will just transfer the shock instead of absorbing it to protect the phone. Am I missing something? These bumpers don't look like hollow metal tube with a "crumble zone" and inner soft lining. It looks awesome as hell, original for sure!!! But with additional weight to our phablet and what seems to be like a slick grip-less sides - wouldn't you worry that phone will be even more vulnerable to drop out of your hand/pocket with a higher chance of damage? Of course, I'm looking more from a practical point of view, while missing the whole pimping aspect of it lol!!!

Since the aluminium bumper is mainly one solid piece with a smaller one on top it acts like a strong exoskeleton taking all the force. For me the importamt thing is to have big enough cushion inside in order to avoid getting the phone in direct contact with the metal and also big enough lips to protect the front amd back.

Are you talking about Sweet Armor case or another one? link pls?
I am always looking for the perfect kickstand case. To me the perfect case is one that steadily stands the phone in landscape as well as portrait position. It is also important it fits in my front shirt pocket and is fairly easy to get it in and out of the pocket. I have tried several, but the one listed below is my new favorite. It is the thinnest I have tried and is one piece made of hard plastic and goes on easily and is a very good fit with all cutouts properly aligned. It has a nice patterned grip feature on one side so if you hold your phone with your left hand, your fingers will grip these. The kickstand is the best I have used. It is the wide kickstand measuring about 1.25" at its base for a very sturdy platform in portrait mode. The only cons so far are minor, the on/off button and volume rocker are covered and a little hard to press. Also the space between the stand and its brace is small and my finger does not fit in, so it is not as easy to use as a holder as the others I have used. As you can see the price is very reasonable and it also comes with a generic screen protector, a cloth and a generic touchscreen stylus pen. So far it is my favorite.

This has been my favorite kickstand case.

oooh, i've never seen this yoobao case before.. noted.. pun intended.
That Yoobao case looks pretty good but when I first saw it, I was worried that the rotating thing would scrape against the phone's back panel. Does it?
I just got it in today. It doesn't touch the back of the phone. There's about a good millimeter or two between the phone and the rotating thing.

Does the kickstand on the Yoobao case also allow it to stand in portrait?
yep. that's actually why I bought it since it doubles up as portrait/landscape stand. the one problem is that it's a little wobbly. You have to adjust it a littlest bit. they could've remedied this by making it a bit wider.
do you think yoobao case rotating kick-stand disk will wear off after awhile? I mean constant rotation with whatever locking mechanism they use to keep it steady will wear off since it's all plastic stuff. But at the same time it can make for a neat fly-grip attachment Can you stick your finger under/inside?
If you have some time in your hands go to best buy and try this case. You wont regret it.

That's actually an re-branded SEIDIO Surface case.
http://www.seidioonline.com/samsung...e-metal-ks-combo-black-p/bd2-hr3ssgt2k-bk.htm
I have the Best Buy "Platinum Series" one here myself. It is a good case overall.
Pros: Very solid feel in your hands. Has a nice soft felt like material on the inside to offer extra protection. The kickstand works pretty well and offers a good angle for the Note 2 when in use. Very durable protection. Easy to install as its a two piece set for the case that clicks in place. The holster piece that comes with it is pretty durable as well and the belt clip is pretty nice as well.
Cons: Hard and I mean HARD to take the dang thing off. This could be a big deal killer for those who need to say swap out their battery/sd card/sim card or whatever often.
Certainly a good case but not without that one con that really be a deal killer for some.

I have this case too and I found that if you take a knife not sharp, more like the butter knife and insert it just off-center in the back "cut" where it snaps the 2 pieces in place, then "twist" the knife (very little twist), you hear a "snap" and now the 2 pieces will come off very easy. I was strugling with it too, but now it's a "snap" to take it off...lol...
there's a youtube video for the seido surface that explains a much easier way to take it off...so i assume it would work for this case as well.

It's a great case. But, as you mentioned, I wouldn't recommend one for people who chance their battery regularly. I stopped using mine when I started to see scratches on the edge of the sides of my phone. The case staves the phone when sliding it on and off.

I have tried both of those and I like the one I started this thread about much better. The kickstand is sturdier, it is much thinner, easier to get on and off and in my opinion nicer looking.
Cruzerlite makes a case with a kickstand built into the back of the case and its pretty sturdy with multiple colors. Check out Amazon, only about $25.
Hi, I am looking for a minimal case for my Note 2. I tend to go for the soft rubber/plastic combo. Not the completely rubber kind, but the one where it's a bit harder, but not hard plastic either.
As cheap as possible would be nice of course, I am in Canada.
Mercury tpu cases are pretty nice. They hold up pretty well according to how my mom's is on her s3. Around $10 USD and widely available.

this case covers the bottom and top much better than all other slim cases like elago and spigen ultra thin air, but i agree with you...a fully surrounded case with this body would be perfect.

Me included. It only fell a foot, it had a slimline TPU case on it, and now I have a crack across the bottom of the glass.
Don't scrimp on your phone protection, the repair costs are not nice.
I agree about the TPU case protection is not a lot of protection. I just use a Cruzerlite TPU and have had my phone dropped about half a dozen times with no problem thus far. Usually I'm in the processing of catching it which significantly reduces the speed, and thus the impact force when it hits the ground.
Than said, I wasn't expecting Otterbox defender protection either. I was only looking to scratch protection for the few times I may drop the GH2, and some drop protection. I wasn't expect to have dropped my phone so many times thus far. It's possible I haven't had glass issues from having the Just Like Glass screen protector installed. It's supposedly add break resistance to the glass.
I would imagine that a gel case would add a reasonable amount of cushioning protection. Possibly enough to reduce the odds of your glass breaking.
I suppose it's a trade off between safety and usability. I have an Otterbox Defender on my phone now, and though it feels safe, it's also now too damned big to use comfortably.
Maybe this one 0.2mm

Could try this.
http://buy.thegameklip.com/products/free-note2-case
Maybe he'll ship to Canadia.
I picked one up for about $20 from the local Sprint store when I got my phone that has a rubber cover and plastic hard case that covers the phone. It even has a stand on the back. There was no product name on it, just the Sprint name so I don't know who actually made it. It's been a very good case for it since I bought it back in November.
I use a seidio surface case. It comes in 2 parts and snaps together in the middle. It has survived one drop from my pocket onto concrete so far. The 2 halves popped apart which I think is by design because it's happened before when I had one on a blackberry. It's expensive though and I'm sure I could have found more economical protection if I had bothered looking.

I can see clearly, now the Orzly is on! (Video Included)
There is nothing worse than getting your fresh new phone and knowing that you have to cover up the beautiful thing with some hefty, bulky case. I personally hate it because it hides the beautiful new design. Therefore, I have searched high and low for cases that give me the protection without actually hiding the phone. I have tried numerous cases, and they all met below my expectations, now maybe I’m to picky or maybe there isn’t a case out there that does this for me, maybe I should live on the wild side and just not have a case! That seemed a little drastic, so I continued searching and came a across a case which I have not really seen before. The case is called,
**Drum roll please**
**Pause for dramatic effect**
Orzly Fusion Bumper Case!! (Cheers & clapping)
After finding this case, I could not believe my eyes, finally a case which does not hide the beauty of my new G4. It has a clear back, which will save my device from the eternal war of key scratching in the battlefield that is my pocket. It also, has a nice bumper thing around the edges, which will give me that much needed protection from everyday little bumps and knocks. Also it will give me some added grip while taking the phone in and out of my pockets, as well as when I’m a little bit heavy handed with my phone after a long day at work.
So I purchased the case from the Amazon.com website, as this was the only place I could find it, I looked on other outlets but as the phone is so new (not even out in most parts of the world). It arrived in the morning I knew I could revel in my glory; I came home from work and noticed a package on the floor. Upon opening the package, I could see that my case had arrived. Anyway, I quickly opened the package and before I knew it I placed my phone inside, the case was a very tight fit, but I think this is a good thing, I hate when cases loose their shape after time or come off too easily!
After that, I inspected the orzly case and noticed that all the buttons were accessible, well that and there are not any buttons on the side so this was not really a big danger. In addition, I inspected where my trusty charger and headphone ports where, and to my relief these were accessible. I also like that around the headphone port there is enough room for my DJ headphones. They have a slight bigger plastic around the jack and so this was a big plus for me, I mean I do not mind the smaller headphones, but when I am travelling on trains or planes for work, I like to use these as they a by far more comfortable.
So overall, I am extremely happy with my purchase, finding my perfect case has been an experience. On that note, I shall end my small story with a few words of the great Neil Armstrong.

Here is my video review
Sorry i forgot to post my video
That is one ugly cutout.
Haha I found your review of that quite amusing! Never have I heard someone so passionate about a case for their phone. I like the fusion too especially for the LG G4, perfect to protect the leather back but you can still see it. I've been reading the leather scuffs quite a bit so protection like this is need IMO. Anyways I was able to find a link to the video from Orzly, it's a bit more in depth than the one you've posted so thought I'd share it on here

I'm pretty sure you have a dirty mind!

I am still holding out for a true bumper case or edge guard so I can put tons of scratches, dents, water spots, etc. on the leather. That real minimal one with the corner clamp from china seems shady, but it's a start for $4.
And I'm looking at my wallet and I love the look of it after being smoothed out and beat up after a year in my back pocket.
First thing I do though is I'm going to spray it down real well with a water seal and conditioner you'd use for nice leather shoes to give some resistance to stains.
I never actually thought about using water seal and conditioner on my wallet or leather back, it does make sense now that you say it.

Thanks for the link!
This ebay seller has some great reviews! I hope my case arrives soon!!
Does the Orzly case go on and come off easy for the leather back? I had read a few reviews that the case is difficult to remove and the leather corners get scuffed removing the case.

After a couple weeks of use, IMHO you should AVOID this case.
It gets easily scratched -no rough treatment received- with lots of tiny marks and smudges, it's really hard to remove when using the leather back, it doesn't have double layering or cushioning on the corners.
It's hard to appreciate the small scratches in pictures unless you reflect some light:
Plus, it leaves cutout markings on the leather back cover:
Seriously disappointed. I'm getting a Spigen or Ringke next.
I think any transparent case is going to have issues of getting the micro scratches on the back. It's also not the greatest in taking on and off with the leather back for sure. I surprisingly don't have any issues taking my UAG case on and off with my leather back.

Yes and no, I had a Samsung S4 with a Ringke and it didn't get this scratched this fast.
This ballistic leather case is perfect. I've always preferred leather back covers. Always sacrificed protection, just because it was proffesional and classy looking. Burkley, Qialino, & Tetded basically I've had every flagship phone from Samsung and LG fir the last 4 years. I have 7 lines I pay for (wife & kids) so dammit I use all the upgrades, then pass phone down the line. Every 5 or 6 months when I get ready to get a new phone, I ALWAYS start looking to see if there is anyone else making something better...
This time BALLISTIC of all people had this leather case that interested me. They do an ABSOLUTELY HORRIBLE job displaying the case on the website, they state it was their thinnest ever case, but in my mind it would be BALLISTIC huge. I took a chance and bought it. So glad I did.
First, it's thin. Super thin. Like perfect man. I had the Naked Tough and it's less obtrusive than that. Plus the still have their corners integrated in, and they do not look anything but stylish and flow well with the case. It's rated at 6ft like all there cases too. The lip, which is another area of contention for me with these leather back cages is the exact perfect size. Keeps my screen elevated very well if I sit it face down. Some cases I've had would elevate screen no more the high enough fir paper to move freely. That's pointless to me, a grain of sand would still scratch the hell out of it. Not this case. I'm telling you as far as security and protection go, I do not see how any slim case could do more than this. PERFECTION.
Now the leather. The ENTIRE back is leather. Just the bottom and top edges are rubber and they are a part of the piece that makes the corners. The leather and rubber blend SEAMLESSLY. I'm telling you I do not see how this could have been done any better. Ballistic says they used what they call a "buffalo leather" and it feels very supple, but is very durable thus far.
This case is dang near perfect. If you like classy leather backs, do yourself a favor, buy this.
Um, got pics? Link to their site for purchase?

Yea, let's see some "Real" pictures of this case.
I also believe that the leather is fake leather but still looks like an interesting case.
Well they say they are using "Prwmium" materials on this line. The call it Buffalo leather. I believe it's real. Get it on Ebay though. I paid 16 bucks. On Ballistics website it's 40
Please post some Pictures..............................
Pics or it didn't happen
On ebay chaise I saw would be about 30$ US

I don't see it for anywhere close to $16. The cheapest I see if $24, and other sellers are $30 to $40. If you really payed $16, I suspect you got a knock off.
Guess I'm just going to have to order so we can see some real pictures of this case.
Ordered one up, should have it by the end of the week. Not available for $16.00 though.
tiny70thomas is 100% correct about this case. Got it in today and I actually love the case. It adds hardly any bulk to the phone and feels great in the hand. The power/volume buttons are just as good as the Speck candyshell grip if not better. Not sure how much drop protection it would provide and it's nothing more then a thin rubber case with thick corners. I'm almost 100% sure the leather is not real but non the less it feels great. Here are some "Real" pictures of this Ballistic Urbanite base in Buffalo Leather. I like it !
I am sorry but that looks terrible....

No, actually it's a nice looking case.
No love at all for this Ballistic case?

It is alright but what kinda turns me off is the texture. If it was less coarse-looking, like the OEM Samsung leather case, it would've appealed to me more.
