I have some questions about the Seidio Cases. Just need some clarification
1) For Surface or Dilex cases, can both cases evenly lay dead flat on table? According to the images on the company website, it cannot cuz of the kickstand is sticking out at the back; so it wobbles on the table.
2) For Surface, Dilex, and Dilex Kryptek, hows the hand feel? Smooth / silicon glossy, rubbery, or Matte? Can't tell from the company photos.
3) Whitestone friendly? which model?
Its a expensive case but i heard good reviews about and about to pull the trigger. Thanks a reply.
I haven't had a Seidio case since the og HTC Evo. The design has changed a bit since then, but from what I remember, the black had a nice matte finish, the other colors had a semi gloss sheen to them. I wasn't a fan of the cutouts for the power and volume buttons as they were a bit too recessed. I saw the new executive case online and was tempted to check it out, but for the price (and grip) I've opted to stick with my Speck Presidio Grip case instead (they run for about $30 on Amazon right now).
The Seido holdster is my favorite.. Used the 2 part case for Note 4 & 5 but stopped when I found a thin bumper case that came off / easier. Case worked even for my motorcycle Seido model mount... But at $36 for combo not happy.. Went through 4 or 5 holsters over the years
Theres another thread on here with reports about the Note 8 Seidio cases and its not good news. I have the dilex version and not a fan. Its OK and I'll live with it, just not as happy with it as I've been with them over the years. I am a Seidio fan for life and been using Seidio cases since the OG Evo.
I had a Seidio case with My HTC EVO 4G and ever since that phone I have used samsung phones and found that I like the Zero Lemon products better until now, That massive battery case for the note 8 from Zero Lemon is ugly as it can get but I want the battery capacity it has.

You might try the Ballistic Jewel Case for the Note 5. They cost around $20 on ebay and Walmart. Pic attached. The case is completely clear, by the way, and the little dots on the back are inside the case holding the phone slightly away from it for added protection in case of drops. I like mine as it also feels soft and slightly sticks to surfaces instead of sliding off like more rigid cases do.
Basically wondering if anyone knows of the existence of a Note 8 case that is similar to that of Google's Pixel 2 XL: fabric with different colored piece for the lower button.
I have seen some in ebay, denim, canvas, gray, blue, brown, black, and some in amazon too, but less
Incipio Carnaby:

I like fabric cases too..
I actually owned that incipio carnaby its a good case but it feels more plastic than fabric. I also tried the case from ebay "note 8 fabric case" its the gray case with metal buttons.
I really enjoy that case. its from china and made by zoomx, the only problem is the button which is made of real metal so its a bit sharp when i got it. I used a nail file to smooth it out.
I also tried the MOFI fabric case from amazon TPU with fabric backing. I returned it because of the power button is a pain to use, very numb. Im still searching for a good fabric case. I like the mixed alcantara with TPU but its hard to find with other color than black.
I am upgrading from the Note 9 with the leather case, which ended up showing a lot of wear. I do like the pocket inside the front cover to carry my license. I see that Samsung is going to offer an S-view cover and a wallet case. Any thoughts on which would be best for the Note 20 Ultra?

With the extra $50 credit for accessories I ended up getting the Wallet case from Samsung for under $10. Reviews on the same version for the S20 Ultra were mixed, but the price was right for me.
For the past 3 or 4 years I have bought the official Samsung LED Case cover and quite honestly they have been brilliant. The one I have been using on my current phone (Note 10+) still looks as good as new after 12 months. The LED notifications are also really useful and make the case stand out (but not in a tacky blingy way)
They may not offer really robust protection, but I have dropped my phone a couple of times and not even the case got damaged. So as long as you aren't working on a building site or doing some kind of extreme activity I think you'll be just fine.
The only issue is they are crazy expensive.
.
I ended up using the $200 accessory benefit for the LED Wallet case along with the Beans. It arrives today so I'll be able to get a sense of the size of the phone in my hand. I had used that model case on my Note 8 and thought it worked well.

Just a hair taller then note 10 plus but not much at all!
The LED wallet case came today. Same width as the Note 9 Samsung leather wallet case and less than 1/4 inch taller. Could be just a little thinner than the Note 9 case. When I had the Samsung LED case on my note 8 I opened the phone far fewer times since I could see who was calling on the front of the case.
I always get the black Samsung Rugged cases. Note 10+ version had some paint scuffing issues on the kickstand but I love those cases, and it appears that the camera will be flush with the back from looking at it. I guess I'll have to see for sure when I get the phone. I don't want a case with the camera bulging out of the back.

Did you receive the Case yet? Are you happy with it ?
I ordered one yesterday as well, waiting on delivery...
I've used the OEM LED Wallet case for a week now and am pleased with the protection. While it is expensive, consider that since the front flap protects the screen, you can go with just a film screen protector instead of a substantially more expensive glass protector. I never had a cracked screen when using past Sammy wallet cases on my Note 8 or Note 9. I tend to carry my phones in a holster attached to my belt, so it is going in and out of the holster many times a day.

I would like to use more cover cases because I like the idea of having the display covered when not in use but I keep thinking about the awkward use whilst trying to take pictures or record videos and having that flap just hanging like that.
I wonder if anyone's made a cover case with a camera cutout for this phone? This way you can fold the cover all the way over and still have the camera cleared to shoot? I wouldn't mind having that area for the camera open on the front for the display. I'd still have most of the front display covered.
I don't know.
Im torn between the flatbackness and kickstand features of the rugged case versus the leather case, which screams class
JJNUSA leather case
https://www.amazon.com/JJNUSA-Handma...ef_=ast_sto_dp
you know i never thought trying to find a case was going to leave me so hard pressed. note i do not mind the camera bump one bit. but they could have rounded out the camera hump a bit more. not the corners, but where the surface meets the edges and also they could have slanted the sides a bit more angled. who knows they did pull it off pretty good.
still on the camera bump.
note: with JJNUSA leather case you will be covering the mic on the camera bump. if that is a problem for you look elsewhere for a case.
i have received 200 in incentives to order goodies when i got my phone pre ordered and used it to order a few cases.
cases i ordered:
samsung rugged: bulky, heavy, don't like the texture on the back and flimsy kickstands that shoot off when used
samsung leather case: upgrade from last years, 2g lighter. seamless, but warps at the bottom. good cam protection.
samsun silicon: unsure if food grade safe. and slippery as glass
-other cases-
spigen Rugged Armor: oddly best all tpu case with carbon fiber accents. the back is slippery if trying to reach across the screen. side bumpers have one way slip grip and flimsy. camera is well protected. pen cut out too deep corner exposed but covered. top /bottom bumper good but top may block ear piece. 2g heavier then jjnusa leather
...now my official review of the JJNUSA Handmade Leather Case...
NOTE i used amazon prime
don't let the first pic they have on amazon throw you off, but what bothers me is the video they added to the product and it is of the s20 ultra; the camera lens is so scratched. i am still baffled how they did that. then again we will see in due time, because i can not stand the samsung leather case(which got me hooked on leather cases oddly) it is too slippery. the jjnusa case has tpu sides and saddle leather on back with plastic on the inside that the phone rests on. but i will say the leather on the back is so soft i think it sorta makes up for the lack of suede like the official samsung case has. then again the leather is so thick its' edges pop out the mold a teensy-weensy bit, but i doubt with proper use and not picking at it it will survive for a long time. with the 5% off coupon i also got another 1 usd off(who knows if it was the amazon prime). so for 19.95 it is a steal. most other leather cases are $30+. a steal; why may you say? hold on let me get to the rest of it. if we all remember the lg g4 leather back it was a looker. that was it, because it scratched easily and punctured easily. then we go onto the samsung leather case that scratches easily with minimal show. further more i can not say what that will mean over long term usage with this case from jjnusa. treat it lightly and it should be fine. now back to the leather on the jjnusa case. the leather reminds me of the type you get on a saddle and does not separate from itself. that is a plus. but a minus if the antiquing they use comes off very very easily?, and it does(con or not?) i had a cane that had antiquing and it turned my hands black, but after it leveled out it was fine. you know they always slap so much on to fill in the design that almost certainly more then half they put on will rub off. i have rubbed off some already. hence it would not rub off like wow, i had to use my nail. no way does it show like scratches on the samsung leather case. either way the extra antiquing will no matter what fade away over time and settle down to where it should be. i still think it will look good. at the same time the leather is much more scratch resistant then the latter. and the design and the look really grew on me. now on to the sides. the power button and volume are labeled with symbols and i like it even though i will never look at it. what else i like is that they are tpu like the rest of the sides. the tactile of the buttons are sturdy then again not too stiff not too mushy. then there is a bonus or an achilles heal; you move down the same side as the buttons and find a wrist strap punch out so you can add a wrist strap. have not tested it, seems like it should be worthy of use and not fearing. the bonus is removing the phone from the case, it does not shoot out like it does with the samsung leather case does. still it holds it in better. this is where i tell you that the jjnusa case has way better screen protection that leaves a better feel in the hand. the samsung leather case has a squidgy spongy top and bottom. the bottom is already warped and i never used it; i just put it on a few times and took it off. also a fail for the bottom bumper is the difficulty to remove the spen without nails. the jjnusa case is cut out just right and since it is thinner and more stiffer in a good way you can press your thumb or finger and hear that satisfying click to eject it. with that said the top and bottom bumper are raised higher then the samsung to protect the screen. the samsung case is more flush and flimsy.
i am a happy camper and if it fairs well i will update to 5 stars from 4, but i am really thinking at the price to slap down for another. as we all know leather cases do not last as long as other types
the reason i gave it 4 stars is i never really heard of JJNUSA till i saw them on etsy.com and since they where based in china i thought meh. then i thought to ebay's third party cases and said but leather? does not smell much like leather, oddly that is how saddles with the same type of leather smells. or it could be the antiquing they used and the shipping package. it was not shipped in a box or cheap plastic, it was in a cloth sleeve in a sealed padded envelope. JJNUSA do claim Oregon origins... yeah right etsy.com says ships from china.
i have played around with plenty of cases and phones in cases so it's not like i only have really had the note 20 ultra... just do not get one of them ultra thin all tpu cases. i have one for my lg g4 and only really protects the sides and back. busted the screen.

I just bought the official Samsung leather case, it looks classy, it's well made and smells amazing too! I went for the black one for my mystic bronze phone as I really didn't like the tan coloured one. It's lightweight, feels lovely to hold and does not make the phone bulky. Obviously protection is quite limited, I tend to use this case at home and transfer to a flip case when I am out and about.
The rugged one is quite the opposite, it's heavy, bulky and not very attractive but it will offer the best protection.
So depending on your usage you will have to make a decision based on looks vs protection.

I was a bit concerned by your comment, when you said the Samsung ones warp? I did a quick check online and didn't see any reports of this. What was your experience with this?
.
When I purchased my device from Samsung USA they gave me a $30 coupon which I used to off set this overpriced "back cover "which retails for $50 plus.
My thoughts ? Feels good, little to no protection of the screen but that was expected. Camera lens area is raised so protected. Top and bottom has a slight raise , sides of case sit lower to the sides of the display, thus zero protection. There are some characteristic defects in the case, like stretched leather areas on the corners due to manufacturing which is worth pointing out to the OCD massive.
As the name implies , it's a back cover , so don't bother with it if you want to protect your device from a drop. The leather smells good and feels good. The inner liner is a suede like material.
7 out of 10. For those that want minimilsm and comfort, not recommended for those that are vegan or want drop protection.
I am really satisfied with this case. I was using the original leather case from Samsung on my previous Note 10, but I have only had this case on my phone for a few weeks and I found the leather on two corners started to wear out. The version of this case for Note 20 Ultra seems to be more solid and still looks like new after using it for more than two months.

Same set up as me. Bronze N20U, black leather case. Mine definitely held up better than my previous set up. Blue Note 10 Plus with official Samsung red leather case. That case had so much wear in under two weeks that I returned it, Samsung gave me zero issues in doing so. It is actually the reason why I chose black this time around. Samsung definitely increased their quality.
The brown leather looks really good with the bronze N20U. The leather case was my favorite, a close second for me was the Pitaka case. I love a quality leather product, Samsung delivered just that. Has a nice texture inside and out and just the right amount of thickness.
I had this leather cover for about 2 months. Leather finish is very good, but I found it to be kind of losse on the bottom, especially on the left corner (near the stylus).
In fact, all the slim covers that I tried for Note 20 Ultra have this problem since on the left bottom corner are concentrated too many holes: stylus+speaker, resulting in poor grip area.
Right now I am settled at Spigen Thin Fit, which is very slim and provides excelent adherence to the phone due to TPU margins (new design).
Mine discolored terrible after about 2 months
Cool, but as the all formed models, all their accessories do not exist to buy.
