Guys I have contacted a few case manufacturers to see if they will produce cases or covers for this tablet as its going to be a popular device I hope they will listen and so do it quick.
I contacted Rock cases that do the quicksand series which is absolutely beautiful, and contacted Beyza cases as they do very elegant designs for good prices.
yeah, of course, in fact, many cases have been produced,

But not of high standard that I come to expect from Rock or Beyza, there is allot of the bulk produced cases which have the same design but different branding but nothing out of the ordinary has been made yet.
I think in the next coming month or so, higher quality/better cases will start to be produced. We just have to be patient
Some very high quality cases are available for custom order already:
Portenzo
Treegloo

beestee those are too similar bookstyle, there isnt any backcover style that rock does or slip in cases like beza's out there at the mo but I do agree those cases are quality but I dont want to add bulk so I rather the other styles.
It'll take time for the more known manufacturers to decide or make cases for the Nexus 7.
If you want a quality case, just be patient and buy a cheap one for now.
Sent from a telegraph via my blood, sweat, and tears
Yeah that what I am thinking of doing, but impatient as always
IMO
Usually, unless for some unforeseen reason, manufacturers have a plethora of case options selling well before an item's release.
Probably, my theory here is; they didn't know when it was coming out, it was all too quick, not enough buzz, they don't see a large market demand, time money invested would be more than their return due to low number of preorders/orders, they didn't get the dimensions/sample early enough to have them ready, considered the existing universal 7" case options would be sufficient.
Consider most screen protector companies didn't even have them ready and became available for preorder after the fact.
I'm trying this one for now: moko case it's relatively cheap, but one of the problems I have with almost all of the cases on the market at the moment is that they wrap the entire bezel, which is just lame. This one at least, is only attaching at a few points. Plus it has the auto wake magnet in the cover (despite the one reviewer's statement that apparently he was shipped the wrong one).
I'll update when I get it.
This one has got my vote so far; but since it won't be in stock until August 20th I'll be looking for other options until then.

Try to hold off as long as possible, remember most places that are taking orders haven't even delivered units yet.
I'd say mid-August early September would be the best time frame to expect an abundance of cases to hit the market.
There may be some reluctance to make an expensive case for a cheap tablet that so far has not been explicitly marketed to the image conscious. It is not really a fashion accessory like an Apple product might be. So they may be waiting to see if the market develops.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Yes! I bought this one (was $3 less at the time). It's not great. N7 slips a slight amount to make the camera hole off, or the sides look angled. Adds some weight. No out-off. I may just buy a pouch, I like the feel with no case much better.
Hey Guys.
I've just received my Swees Case for Nexus 7 and wanted to share my impression about it.
First of all, i couldn't find it on the American Amazon website. So after the review, if anyone in the America is still interested, you might need to look for yourself.
So here we go.
Similar to many products for the Nexus 7, it this case has tried to imitate the Smart-Cover look. That's fine.
So on the bottom, this case is like a hard-case protecting the Nexus from Scratches, Bumps, etc. quite well. There's a gap between speakers, and all Buttons and Microphone, so you get no disturbance using the Nexus with the Case. At the front, there's this Leather-Like material covering the Screen.
The cover can be used as a stand. Application is very easy, every child can do it and your Nexus will stand on table-tops or even your couch. It's quite stable I'd say, at least from my testing on even softer surfaces, it still stood like a rock.
At the end of the covering, there is some magnet build inside, so the cover will fix itself to be closed at times. It's not the strongest magnet though, but for transporting and carriage it's quite alright. The cover will also trigger sleep / awake mode when opened or closed.
For this unbelievable price it's quite a good deal if you ask me. Many covers I've seen in stores were priced 3x as much, but didn't show the quality. Anyhow. I can recommend it :
UK* : http://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_sb_noss_1?url=search-alias=aps&field-keywords=swees+nexus+7
* I got the black one, but i guess other colors are quite nice. 7,99 Pounds ( Don't know if they charge shipping in the UK ) is quite a deal.
DE : http://www.amazon.de/Swees-Schutzhü...K0ME/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1351992143&sr=8-1
This is exactly where i ordered from. ( all for 12,99€ )
http://www.amazon.de/s/ref=nb_sb_ss...wees+nexus+7&sprefix=swees+%2Celectronics%2C0
Again for DE - diffrent colors are available.
At least for the german amazon, they even give an additional Pen & Screen Protector. Compared to Samsungs "S-Pen" this pen is quite better build wise. I wouldn't recommend using it for drawing professionally. For notes quite alright.
Can't really say much about the screen protector, I don't usually use one and probably won't use it.
At last : 2 pictures showing the Stand function and overall look of the case.
I am open for any question regarding this product. I am not affiliated with this product or company in any way, I just want to help our users to fight an excellent case which is affordable.
( Btw. I had a long way finding this case. There are 100s of cases to be found on amazon and i read through a lot of feedback from each of them. From the cheaper cases, you can expect poor quality, chemical smell as well as rash on skin, and many other things. Therefor i am very pleased with what I've got my hands onto. )
Thanks for the review, but this is the common 'eBay case,' there's a 140-reply thread about it already. Can be had for about $10USD with free shipping.
Today we’re looking at the two custom cases for the Galaxy Note 2.
Click here for the full review with clickable links and where to buy
First, a very basic thin plastic case from Casetagram. Casetagram, as you've no doubt figured out by now, involves your social media in the design process. Another case from Case-Custom is thicker hard glossy plastic and it has almost squared off sides that turn the Note 2 into an almost iPhone shaped smartphone. They'll both take about 1 month from the time you order them unless you select expedited shipping which will cut that time in half. While they are the same thing in theory, these two products are different on just about every level, read on.
Click here to see a video slideshow of the two cases
Casetagram case $39.99
Pros: Great if you're social, very thin case, decent printing, layouts and effects are unique to customizing sites, case design app available for iOS
Cons: a bit expensive for what you get, no Android design app
A very thin, lightweight case that is made of a clear white or clear dark plastic. It's thin enough that it should still fit in some custom molded note 2 docks. Either color you decide to design on, you'll be able to see through to the back of your phone if you pick a design that leaves empty negative space. I personally can see the “Galaxy Note 2” logo and ugly “Verizon” logo and huge “4g” graphic through the cracks in my photo collage. If you read this site frequently, you know how I feel about Verizon, the fact that I can't cover up their graffiti makes me angry. I don't see the benefit of the negative space being clear when you're designing a cover to “cover” your phone. To be fair, the design tool on the website does clearly show you that the negative space will be see through. It shows the international back plate on the phone though without all of the Verizon clutter on it so you don't notice it while designing.
The only way to avoid negative space showing is to select the “single” layout which is one full sized picture across the back of the device. The problem with that is it doesn't really accommodate full pictures. Any Instagram picture that you insert is automatically 72% below the recommended resolution (the site never says what the recommended resolution is?) This becomes a guessing game that isn't very easy, It took me a half hour of resizing, uploading, and selecting pictures until I had a picture that supposedly fit in full sized design mode. Even then, when I was said to be within the recommended resolution, I still received a low resolution warning on the screen even though the picture looked fine. It isn't made clear anywhere on the site but in order to edit or move your image once it's placed, you have to double click on the working image of your designed phone. You are then given a crude set of tools to re-size and move your image. In trying to re-size the picture, the cursor would go out of the borders of the web page numerous times and it became quite frustrating to finish.
Things become almost humorous when you realize that Casetagram, which is a name derived from Instagram, offers it's own filters which they call “effects.” What this ends up meaning is that you can take a filtered instagram picture and re-filter over your initial filter. If you've always wanted to double sepia all of your photos and you didn't know how, problem solved.
They offer cases for Apple smartphones and tablets, the Galaxy smartphone line, and the nexus 4 currently.
Case-Custom case $32.99
Pros: thicker printing, thicker case for better protection, unique squared off sides, relatively cheap
Cons: difficult to communicate with customer service if you have to, buttons can be hard to press in recessed cutouts
This is a thicker case, but in a substantial kind of way. It feels stronger and fits in the hand better in my opinion. It's unique straight sides give it a modern look but also make it easier to grab. Samsung and others design phones to better slip out of your hand. They want your phone broken so you're lining up to get a new one as soon as possible. Why do we put up with this? My old Motorola Droid X was perfect, a rubberized metal exterior that felt solid and stayed in your hand. This case is very glossy, but the design of the sides makes it feel secure in my hand. For those of you that love the clean simple design of the iPhone but hate Apple's controlling grip on software, this gets you a little closer to the look you love.
Case-custom has a much fuller selection next to casetagram. They offer options for most any current smartphone and many tablets besides just the iPad. They also offer custom designed leather case options and for the Galaxy Smartphones that means flip cases. Custom printed leather flip cases are something I've never seen available, I'm in the process of trying to get one for review so hopefully I can answer some questions. I don't know how sturdy the actual cover is, whether they've added an NFC chip to the cover or what the inside that touches the screen is lined with. I'll have answers to those questions and more possibly soon. It's only $6 more for the flip cover over the snap on so it should be worth it if they offer the same quality that I see in the case I'm currently holding.
Case-Custom's design tool online is a bit odd. Everything is there, including facebook and instagram integration as well, but it's just a bit clunky. It's less flashy that Casetagram's tool, but in the end it's simple in a great way. Where Casetagram's design tool makes you guess, Case-Custom's is straight forward. Unfortunately, you can't see any other angles of the case besides a head on view while designing, it doesn't show off the unique straight sides anywhere? The case also looks as if it is soft plastic in the first picture you see on the site, but it is in fact, hard plastic. You aren't given a choice to pick the color of the plastic that is used for your overall base case. I designed a full sized picture to take up the whole back and the sides and inside are a bright clean white gloss plastic by default. It looks great in the end but It was a shot in the dark. Everything seems a bit confused with Case-custom, down to their customer service. It was odd talking back and forth and I assume it is all thanks to an English-Chinese language gap. All of my email exchange with the company was signed by a person named Zoe Saldana. It's a completely unique name and the equivalent would be if I told you that this article was written by me, Arnold Schwarzenegger, thank you for reading.
The process of ordering a case through Case-Custom reminds me of the words of the late great Hunter S. Thompson:
“Buy the ticket, take the ride...and if it occasionally gets a little heavier than what you had in mind, well...maybe chalk it off to forced conscious expansion”
It might not feel like the case will arrive, but if and when it does, it might be one of the better cases that you've ever seen. I wish I could be more certain for you here but all I can tell you is that the Case-custom case costs less, it was easier to design, and I'm much happier with the final product next to the Casetagram case. Buy the ticket, take the ride...
Final thought: A big part of which of these makers gets your business will come down to personal preference. The printing is good enough on both, they are both tough enough cases, and they both have cutouts that line up well to accommodate the Note 2. If you want thin and light and putting filters on top of filters on top of filters interests you, then Casetagram is for you. If you don't mind a thicker plastic case and you like the modern straight edges a la the iPhone, you'll be happy with the Case-custom case.

ENJOY YOUR GADGETS!
@examinerPhil
Ok. You've got me.
I'm not even interested in this type of case. I use the zero lemon battery and the tpu that came with it.
However, after all the debates about the music in your slide shows I just had to click to see what you chose for this one.
lol ok I was a little curious about how the cases look too...
Nice review and nice pics.

That's all I can ask for! Thanks for reading.
Good news to report,
The company mentioned here, Case-Custom, offers a customizable flip case for our note 2! If you read through the review above you'll see that I was really impressed with their design and build quality.
I've designed a custom flip cover on their site and it is shipping out today. I'll report as soon as I receive it (quoted 10 - 20 days) on the quality.
Here is a link if you want to see for yourself:
http://www.case-custom.com/custom-galaxy-note-2-flip-cover.html
These are the only two reputable brands I could find. Others I found were just too expensive (imported). And let me just throw it out there, these still feel very expensive to me, but I'm only willing to pay cause they're reputable brands.

I'm most looking forward to pics of the products, because online it's really hard to tell anything. Especially the pics of the insides like the corner insides etc (I think more details can be captured with flash ON), whatever you could provide, pic of case applied on the phone etc. For me what matters the most is design (not talking about looks) especially the key features i.e. the lip to prevent the screen from touching any surface, the air cushioned type corners (inside) or anything else I'm missing. Though I do know that these probably already have that.
And any of your opinions and experience related to these products. Like in case of Ringke, as it has a transparent back, Has it got any scratches, too many scratches etc? Has it gone yellowish (the transparent part)? In case of Spigen, Does it have clicky buttons? Does it feel heavy? How grippy is it? Anything related to these two cases even something I didn't mentioned, pros cons, however you like it.
I'm not opposed to buy something better than these brand cases IF it's out there & not popular, but it has to be less expensive & you must've bought and used the product. You can still suggest me anything better even if you haven't used it, not my preferred way, but I'll still look into it.
I'm not looking to throw my phone, just to protect it from accidents. I also know how heavy it gets after applying these covers which increases the chances of drops of an already heavy phone, so the protection has to be the best. If you know of anything lightweight which can still protect similarly (that's why design matters the most) to these cases, you can LMK.
I just want to make sure I get the best thing if I'm paying this much money.
Not important (Just a customer's angry rant) : As Xiaomi already betrayed us by giving too high of a discounts on such a good phone. That's why they're still selling the same stock or IDK what is their plan with this line!!? I didn't returned or went to service centre to complain about the screen bleeding issue. Yes it's still there even after 1 year. So when I buy their phone for Rs. 23K ,8/256 model like 2-3 weeks ago & they give a flat Rs.4k discount on it, It's just straight up back stabbing. I think realistically, so I just knew that they were gonna waste my time at service centre & second it's not that big of a deal. That's why I didn't returned it or wasted my time on repair.
Me as a customer value their product more without any incentive purposes and they as a company doesn't value it. It's just pathetic.
Lol. So big post about cases.
I bought spigen. It looks exactly like in photos. Its elegant, fits perfectly. One thing bad about it is that's slippery in my hands. Kind of annoying but you can get used to it.
Rinkge looks more protective and massive. I wouldn't buy it, cause it makes look like some tank smartphone ( Samsung solid etc). So unless you drop your phone everyday obtain I'd buy spigen.
First of all wow, cause I wasn't even expecting a reply. Well something's better than nothing amirite.
I do all this work, put in all this effort into the post and what do I get in return, basically nothing. And IK what you're going to say that oh it's an old phone, bla bla JUST ZIP IT, alright I don't wanna hear it. Cause IK what the real reason is and that is, this site is dying slowly and daily. Yeah I don't wanna hear any of your crappy argument against it, cause IDGA*. It's the truth, either accept it or move on.
I can hear you lot saying that OUH! your post is big and other crap, again IDC. Cause I tried my best to make it look attractive, it's not my fault that a lazy person isn't ready to read paragraphs on a forum website. And not really a forum, cause most of their focus is on news these days, and excuse me what!!? Testing pc hardware https://www.xda-developers.com/amd-radeon-rx-5700-series-review , wasn't even difficult to find, was on the front page of news. Just shows how much they care.
It's been a long time since I joined this site, at least for me. My english has improved a lot and IK better ways to present the information and still I get less interaction than before when I didn't knew much or didn't knew how to convey my message, maybe that's the reason I went away in the first place. I've made another posts as well not related to this, tried my best to be understandable, still any responses, NO.
You know why I made this thread, to get some opinions, to clear my mind on which one to buy, but did I got that, no, I just had to go with my gut at the end, all that time and energy wasted. Like with any other posts or threads I've made, except some cause of a few helpful people. I was so tired that I forgot to put any tags, which I just noticed, that's a first for me.
And don't think that I'm dismissing the fact that there are no good people out there, there are but you better find them quick, otherwise the time it'll take for the help to reach you, you may have already forgotten about the problem. It's like a gold mine, you better find something or all the work goes into waste. And if you find a truly helpful person you can converse with them 24x7. And don't think every knowledgeable person here is helpful, cause they're not, especially the so called developers, very knowledgeable, but helpful, just forget about it, again not all of 'em. But as I said you better find them in a relevant time or the thread just get rolled into the dust of time.
The developers are just the best, claiming to own this website, that it only exists cause of them and they don't need users. Then why don't you go ahead and close this website for public, you're not doing us any good by providing a crappy service and delivering statements like this. The normal users aren't getting any help anyways, those who really wanna learn something new and make something out of it.
By making statements like these they're only driving the core of this website away, yeah I'll see how long you stay relevant this way. The only one who are benefiting off your ego and butthurtness are freeloaders. Well, look what you have done developers, congrats, you should be very proud.
For me, I guess I'd just have to look for an alternative. Life goes on, it doesn't wait for anybody especially for self absorbed people.
I have both. Spigen is the one I use daily. Ringke did not allow me to use in Brodit car holder. Spigen is a more elegant case ringke looks tacky, but has better corner protection. Both suck with regards to amount of lip on front face to protect screen from drops.
i'm using Nillkin Case for my poco f1. But from the above two you mentioned, i think Spigen case is better option.
Been using spigen since the first day. It lacks side grip, its very very slippery if u try to grab/hold it by fingers with phone lying on flat surface. I wonder how cud spigen not think abt side grip!!
So I wud say go with ringke.
All the best.
Using Ringke since May 2019. back transparent panel still clear as glass with some micro scratches which ain't even visible if not looking carefully. this panel kind of shines like glass and reflects considerable light of you're interested ?.
only con I've found is it makes the phone a bit heavier but for the sake of protection i can live with that much extra weight.
I would like to get of the grid and introduce one more reputed brand into the picture. It's called Kapaver they are well known for thier carbon fibre looking air cushions induced back covers. It costs well around 600rs. On average. And ill tell you as I used it on my previous note 5 pro. Which is a delicate phone, i dnt usually drop the mobile very often but when ever I did it did hit the ground at an Harder pace.
But seriously when i exchanged the old for new poco. I had no regrets of any scratches or dents all cause of Kapaver. So from an user perspective I'll give it a 5/5 for protection but yea it does causes the mobile to look a bit bulkier. But it does make it feel kinda premium. Il urge you to do have a look at it.
Ps. By observing my usage and cover. Many of my friends who used poco did get Kapaver case and they seem to be very happy with it.
Using ringke from the day poco was launched and the case was available. My phone is 1 year old. I prefer ringke cause it's transparent and I can show off skins on the back. It's heavy and you'll feel it for the first few days. If you feel naked poco is already heavy, get Spigen ( do note it's slips a lot). Both are good cases and you can't go wrong with any one of them.
I am planing to get ringke case. I want to know that I am using full screen mode in Poco F1. so how does it goes when we swipe edge for back or when we swipe up for home screen?
I mean does this case create problem or it work well with full screen mode?

Ringke.. I'm using it since day 1 of my Poco F1
I understand your angry customer rant. The discounts on poco are not logical lol. There were many discounts on diwali weekend in India . I snagged 6/64 for $190 / Rs 13,499

This maybe a little late butt here we go. The case is expensive but you wouldn't be disappointed. As far as the full screen mode goes I don't think you'd have any problems. In fact one of the reasons I bought it, as you may already know that poco's touch is quite sensitive (seeing a trend in newer phones, xiaomi phones at least) and no settings to decrease it, so to prevent the accidental touches, this a good one, especially when using 'double tap to wake'. At the moment I'm not playing many games on my phone, so IDK how well that would work, but looking at the design it should work pretty well as it makes the phone broader.
This cover is the best for those who want to show off their phones (the back, skin etc.), I mean I bought the armored version so it's not the best in my case, I knew I should've went with the red one. But when it comes to showing off, no cover comes even close, in fact no one's even competing with fusionX. I mean I couldn't find anything even remotely close to it, if someone else know such brand LMK. If you wanna show off your cover, this is not one of them, then you should look somewhere else, unless someone takes a direct look at it when you're taking a phone call or something.
Design wise their goal is simplicity, and they nailed it. Cause it may look awesome in the pictures online but when you put it on your phone, it becomes a part of it. Also they said that the packaging used was recycled so I guess I helped the environment in some way.
The in hand feel is great, you feel all the curves and edges. They go with the same design, I mean if ain't broke don't fix it, amirite? The rubber used around has different finishes like glossy, matte, textured, roughed etc.
Any flaw if you ask me is the front lip to protect screen from touching surfaces. I haven't measured it but I bet it's either 0.75mm or 1mm. As my phone has a tempered glass on it, so one can tell that lip is not that large. I'm not an expert in this like how much is good, but I have a generic rugged cover for my other device and comparing, you can clearly see the difference. Also there was one mistake when it comes to precise cuts. The cut for the secondary mic was quite off, not too off that it's not usable anymore but quite off that you feel a bit mad that, is this seriously a brand product? There could be reasons behind this, design etc. But we can't really accept such mistake, when it comes to a premium product. In this case, for a brand like this, the technique should be flawless when making cuts for the devices. They didn't nailed this one for me, I was disappointed TBH, cause as I said there's no room for - if, but etc. when it comes to something like this.
I was planning to buy these during diwali sale. The ringke one was available for Rs.770 and the spigen one was available for Rs.499. At the time I hadn't decided which one to buy, so I ordered both of them and thought I'd just cancel the other one. But both of the cases were coming from the same place so they packaged both of them together. Just a tip for the future if you're buying from amazon india or apparently from any indian website, cause I doubt there are many distributors for this.
So I had to cancel the order and make another one for just ringke. I didn't went for spigen cause more I read the reviews, the more I came to knew that it just wasn't worth the price. I mean it's just a rubber case, you can get those anywhere in the market and paying that much extra just for the brand didn't made any sense to me even if it would be of "better materials & quality", 499 was still too much for a rubber case with nothing special about it's design and protection.
When it comes to weight, like any other cover it's gonna add some to it, that is inevitable. But when it comes to rugged/hybrid cases, it's quite light, I'm not gonna lie. Cause I have used some generic rugged cases in the past and in comparison this is light. Like the case I have on my other phone, as may know that they're divided into two parts rubber and plastic i.e. hybrid, And I only have the rubber part on me & it still feels heavy compared to ringke. So I guess they nailed in that department as well.
If you're worried about the materials, the whole case is flexible. Both rubber part on the sides and transparent part in the middle. But don't try to separate them cause unlike the normal hybrid cases they're glued together and rightfully so. The way it's designed, they couldn't have made the transparent part detachable. Though if it was detachable, you could've been able to use just the rubber part on the behalf of it looking a bit weird. But if you don't have the money to buy this one, just buy any cheap one after looking at some real pictures posted by users and maybe reading some useful reviews, I think you'd be fine. But if you're going to spend money then better go for the brand and don't look any where else than a Ringke.
The transparent material is a high grade plastic, why? Cause you can't scratch glass with blade, which you can do on this one. But if you're worried about everyday scratches (mostly cause by dust particles, NOT dirt), you won't see any of those here as I said high grade plastic. But don't put this on rough surfaces, cause mostly stones, tiles etc. are harder than plastic. Also you wouldn't have to worry about it breaking as it's not glass.
I don't buy covers so I can keep dropping my phone. Dropping any of your device especially a device you're gonna use day & night, everyday, is just idiotic, people need to get that in their head. The best security for your phone is your hand. I mean just look at it this way, the laptop & pc u use, would you be willing to throw them around? How long would they last like that? I mean it's good to know the durability of something but that doesn't mean you should keep dropping it everywhere if you wanna use it for a long time.
I guess this turned into a review than just a suggestion Hope it was helpful to someone.

Spigen rugged armour ****. Go for ringke.
Go with ringkee
@a7cATR4z Oh!!!!!! you put a skin and case, I thought it was a case design, nvm.
I have used the spigen rugged armour case before. Ended up it so loose terribly after 5 months using it. And also, there was a logo stain on my Poco f1 back which caused by the case. Now that I changed it to Ringke, shall see what will happen after few months.
Bought off Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08CBNZGGR
Schnail Titan for Samsung Galaxy Note 20 Ultra Case (2020 Screenless Version), Military Grade Drop Tested Heavy Duty Full Body Protective Case with Kickstand - Black
Review posted to Amazon:
I don't mean to brag, but I'm a pretty tough guy. Work in the construction industry, do deadlifts for fun, intimidate most humans, and have the size and skill to back it up. Therefore, I need a tough phone case for my delicate phone. I don't have time for cracked screens or damaged phones so I decided to try out this Schnail Titan case, well because of how durable it looked but also the name TITAN! That fits my giant ego. I've dropped my phone twice by accident while messing with equipment with the other hand and both times the phone survived the fall. I'm 6'3" so the fall was from over 5-ft onto hard concrete/stone flooring. If it can survive the rigors of my life, then it can survive the non-rigors of yours.
The only slight negatives are as follows. I wish the top of the case sloped more so that when I go to lower the drop down menu with my finger it doesn't open the apps menu. If you don't know this, the new Android OS lets you swipe down on the screen to open the apps drawer. Also, I could use a little more rubber on the back side to give it more of a grip when placed face up on my diesel truck center console. Yes, I drive a diesel, but I don't hate the Earth. I use DEF. Instead of a plastic frame around the phone before inserting it into the rubberized case, I wish it was just a plastic top and bottom that inserted into rubber to add more protection. Not that it needs it, but would be easier for installation.
Bottom line. If you have clumsy hands, or really want to protect your new $1500 phone, then GET THIS CASE!

I've called out the other "reviews' shilling for this product - but this is by far the worst. You are not only aiding and abetting an unethical marketing ploy to promote a product across various forums through inherently biased "reviews" generated by promotional discounts (something you should always disclose if you want to appear even remotely ethical) - but you chose to do it in a racist ("the Koreans at Samsung haven't figured out how to be "tough American men" like in the US") and extremely obnoxious (too many examples to list) manner - reported.

While I agree the review was extremely obnoxious I don't agree with you reporting the original post of the person offering the cases. They are not selling anything. They are giving cases out free to XDA members for reviews. They have been doing this exact same thing for a while now for various phones so obviously XDA doesn't have a problem with it. Leave them out of this.

Fair enough, @znel52 - while I disagree that giving away cases for reviews is 'not selling anything' (advertising is selling, it's a form of advertising, and a highly questionable form at that) - your point is well taken, and I've edited my responses accordingly.
I didn't follow through with the offer for a free case as the supplier was clearly lying. Their materials state they are a small american family owned company - but they must not speak English to well and the case is far to close to other designs to be original. They also required you to buy a note 20 case as well, no thanks.
