Hola
I see a growing list of sites now offering leather cases for the Galaxy Note. My problem is that I already have a slim rubber case over my Note so it add a little extra bulk to the Note that now it won't fit into any of these leather cases.
I presently have the SGP Ultra Capsule case for the Note:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SGP-Ultra-Capsule-Case-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-N7000-BLACK-/260938444071?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cc124ad27
I am even willing to use a generic camera case as long as it can fit on my belt. I searched a number of local computer shops, photography outlets, even a few places at the local mall (those kiosks) that has anything that can accommodate this extra size... I found nothing yet!!!
Can someone please help me? Do you think if I searched say for the Dell Streak 5" that such cases can work for the Note in a slim rubber case?
Any suggestions are welcome. Thanks.
I suggest the PDair P01 leather case. I have it and it fits great with a TPU case on the GNote. A little snug, but no problems getting it in and out of the case. I think it would probably fit your case as well. The PDair case is a bit pricey (around $40), but the quality is great.

people that wear phones on there belts look like complete douches!!! don't do it!!
At some point in life, you have to quit caring what people think about you and do what you want. Carrying a phone on your belt is certainly much more comfortable than in your pocket. Try it. You may change your mind.

NO sir, you are a douch! It is not easy to fit the note in your pocket you know
How small are your pockets? I wear skinny jeans most of the time and have no issues, it fits perfect and you don't even realise its there, and the other 2 people who wear phones on there belts, don't do it because they don't care what people think, they do it to show off there phone, which makes them douches.

Just think how many people would not be able to post how they scratched their GNote screen because they put it in their pocket...if they wore it on their belts, lol! The fact that you said skinny jeans means you are probably under 30.
It may not be cool to wear your phone on your belt, especially a GNote, but it sure is comfortable and practical!

Eh what do you mean? Your phone is miles safer in your pocket than on your belt buckle. And I am 30 :-D, what does that have to do with anything? Again it isn't uncomfortable carrying your phone in your pocket? Plus its on show so you gearing yourself up to get mugged.
I have always worn my phone on my belt if I can, except for very small phones. That does not include the Note! I have far too much other stuff in my pockets - credit card wallet, money wallet & keys. I have tried to reduce these, but there is just too much I need to have with me.
I am waiting for a couple of noreve cases (one with belt clip) and a 'tough as nuts' case (with a proper belt loop). In the mean time, to avoid bulk and scratches, I picked up a couple of neat cases for a Navman GPS device. One is a semi-hard case with foam padding for travel & storage, the other is a 'normal' case with a bit on the back I unpicked to make a belt loop. After a month of wear I need to re-sew the loop, but apart from that it is fine. Those two were about $30.
It is just a bit too loose for my liking, so would probably fit nicely with a rubber case. The inside is smooth so it should slide.
As I usually do now, check the GPS section of any electronics store and find the cases. Find the one that fits. I used to look for camera cases, but these have become to small & fat, where phones are now thinner and larger.
Check out this item I found on eBay:
Black Leather Sleeve Case With Belt Clip for Samsung Galaxy Note GT-N7000 i9220
Link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Black-Leath...sung-Galaxy-Note-GT-N7000-i9220-/400264507128
mine arrived today, faux leather but fits the Note with PU case. Easily slipped in and out. Looks nice, get compliment and somehow people didn't think the leather case was big, but when I take my phone out, then they think it's big.

When have you seen people who wear their phone in a holster on their belt crying because their screen was scratched by keys or grains of sand in the pocket etc? I referenced your age because as discussed you are still at that age where you care what people think. I have done both with the GNote and wearing it on the belt in a leather holster is much simpler and more comfortable. I can actually use my pockets for other things and not have to worry about my GNote.
Just a preference, neither is right or wrong.

Any good recommendations? I'm not a big fan of magnet on cases and seems most reasonably priced (<$30) folio style cases have magnet strip.

Can't post link as of yet, but go to Amazon and type in "Acase Samsung 10.1 case". Its full name is "Acase Samsung GALAXY Tab 10.1 High Quality Premium Slim Leather Case Folio"
This is the case I ordered. It's got good customer reviews. It's non magnet and around the price point you mentioned.

Got this instead from pcmicrostore.com. Amazon cells it too but pcmicro has 20% off tablet accessory code 20OFFTABLET so turned out to be cheaper. Also got a screen protector there. I prefer that case over Acase for a little more protection. Also it's genuine leather. $26 shipped.
Thanks for the heads up on the coupon code. I had been on the fence on a case and this sealed the deal for me. You just saved me $8. Thanks!

I got one of these and sent it back. Aside from the horrible smell of the material they use to make it the stand function was very limited and you have to unsnap the bottom clips that hold the tab to the case to fold it back to stand it up. Eventually that will probably scratch the paint off the corners of the tab. It did fit well.
I have the Acase and the bottom things aren't even clips. More like rests and it will not rub the paint off. The tab is held by only the top four clips. The only problem with this case is lack of a hole for the charger when closed. My case did not have smell and if it did I think a lil spray of febreeze or your favorite cologne could take care of that. Also the case has 4 angles to choose from so I don't think that the stand is limited.
I posted a review and pics of the case in the big cases thread going.

Agreed. I just received my case and there's no foul odor. It smells like what leather is supposed to smell (even which you'd have to literally put your nose up to the case to get any smell).
The case fits perfectly and the material is very nice. The only minor grip I have is that the lowest angle is a little too steep for a comfortable typing. It does work well on a table, but not so well lying down in bed. The ipad 2 version of the exact same case has a bend in the front side which allows an angle for more comfortable typing. I don't know why Acase got rid of that position for this version, but I'm sure they have their reasons.

Mine smelled like a dead meat. The whole room where I opened it smelled. My wife thought the cat died. If that's what leather is supposed to smell like I'm gonna sell my truck, couch and the cow grazing in my garage. Obviously I got a bad one. It also felt more like vinyl than fine corinthian leather.
As for the bottom clips (or whatever they were) folding back a third of the case to stand it up wasn't my idea of good design.
You are of course entitled to your opinion. My opinion is the "official" Samsung case, for the few bucks extra, is much better designed, better fitted and less odoriferous.
Still can't charge with the case closed on the official case. The official case has fewer resting positions and the little flap that holds it in place is prone to fall out in the upright position. Because Samsung wanted the case to be thin, they sacrificed good padding around the tab.
I find it hard to believe your case smelt like "a dead meat". I got the Acase for $20 shipped so the Samsung is a lil' more than a few bucks more.

Well, after spending $600 on the tablet, I guess $22 more seemed to me as "just a little." As far as how my case "smelt" I'm not concerned whether you believe it or not. Since Amazon got it back it's now their concern.

Im looking for a cheap decent case till trident releases the agies version, and this one looks to be the cheapest but yet decent, because it will has a drop resistant in it. i dont wanna spend 35 bucks on the case-mate tough due to gonna get the trident case when it comes out.

i like the kickstand idea of it, from the reviews it sounds ok, just the top and bottom are not well protected, just the corners.
They sell this case at the sprint store. so i would go there first and check it out but this is a way better deal then they have.
My local Sprint store also carries this case. I didnt buy it cause it really looked bulky.

Read my post here about this case...

Not everyone has troubles with it but I wouldn't trust the case if I dropped it. I ended up buying one of these from eBay and it provides way more protection with little bulk...
http://www.ebay.com/itm/180729129853?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649#ht_1480wt_1341
No kickstand but it's worth it till I find something better. Only took 6 days to receive it.
The problem I've got with most cases, is that it looks like "a phone snapped into a case". And having a flippy kickstand out the back adds some functionality, but if you don't need or wouldn't use that functionality, it contributes all the more to that "that doesn't look like it belongs there" look. Looks a bit like you've taken half your windshield mount with you.
It's like those cars you see college kids driving around, with the stuff bolted onto them that doesn't integrate well with the car, and you wonder if they've ever actually been to a car show and understand that the best modifications are done in a way that makes the car look more integrated, not less. Phone cases have always been sinners this way.
I bought a matte black TPU case more or less as a placeholder... I've been a person who personally hates cases due to the above, and these phones are so thin that I'd hate to ruin that as well...
Needless to say, I clicked "purchase" with a sigh, thinking it was just temporary, something cheap for protection until the market opened up and I might find that 1% case that was classier and didn't look like a "case snapped on a phone".
I have been more than pleased with the TPU case, I feel like I've accidentally stumbled onto that case. It's the right combination between soft and hard, to actually absorb and disperse shock, it wraps around the front to protect there too, 360 degrees.
It looks like "the phone", it doesn't look like a case even, and the matte black back and gloss front ring look classy, elegant. No rubbery gel look, no playskool plastics, no kids-toy colors or fades, no skulls or dragons, etc. The phone is thin enough to pull it off without looking like a brick too.
I'd recommend this case to others - especially for the $8 shipped cost.
I'd think it'd much better absorb shock than a hard plastic one... it'll absorb it rather than transfer the shock wave right to your phone like a hard plastic one would.
I have not found any worthy case for SG2...There is not a big variety.
i almost love the case
for twenty dollars its not bulky. Thinner than the tpu cases thats for sure ialso tried a gel but doint think i need the xtra protection. im not clumsy and take care of my phones. the top and bottom are not protected but kinda they are they have a lip over the corner and unless it falls on something that sticks out im good. falls on floor the corners are good. plus any case that is over protecte are over bulky an for the scratching have not seen any thing of the like
I'm with Vega. This case is very good, looks great, isn't bulky, and isn't scratching my phone.
I posted some pics in the thread for this case ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1292459&page=2 ) so you can maybe see it from some angles not in the sales shots, but everyone I show this phone to immediately comments on how small and light the phone is, and then I take the case off and they are amazed it gets even smaller.
I'm not a fan of cases, and I'm not a fan of any extra bulk, and I really like this case. Looks great, and gives some light protection.
Light protection? Yes. I did a drop test on linoleum (much harder than carpet, but not as hard/damaging as concrete) and in three drop from knee, waist, and chest high, it did fine. At head high, the case popped off. Which I expected. If you are throwing your phone around like a spaz, get a good gel case or something better than that. If you might accidentally drop your phone getting out of a car, but are not a spaz beyond that, this case is great.
Pics again:
I used this case for about 2 weeks and it scratched my phone on the side bezel on both sides of the phone and also on the back of the phone down by the speaker. I wouldn't use it again. Got the TC case from Amazon in matte black. is much better and cheaper.
@DevonSloan thank you for a little bit more review on that for me :-D i also like the pictures you added much better than what amazon showed

Not so. This kickstand case is much thicker and bulkier than the TPU case. I know this for a fact because I have both. The TPU TC case is cheaper, thinner, feels better in your hand, protects your phone better, won't scratch your phone, is less slippery, and your phone won't fly out of it if you drop it. That happened to me with this case, too. The kickstand is lame as well. If you set it on a table with the kickstand out, the phone leans back at about a 45 degree angle making it really hard to see the screen.

well somethings wrong if ur having issues seeing the screen. the type of screen it is, has the feature to be able to have the phone at an angle and still see the screen clear.i myself would prefer a bulky feel any. like the htc evo shift is semi bulky just a really small screen.
If you like a bulky case this is the one to get. Most of us don't, especially on a phone this big. Just sayin
My GN arrives tomorrow and of course I'm very excited!
Does anyone wear their GN in a case with a belt clip? I've seen one on a website but the only review said the interior was rough.....can't have that.
If I have to start carrying my phone in a different manner due to the phone's size, so be it - but I'd prefer to have it on my belt.
Thanks for any feedback!
I wear a belt clip with my slacks and tank top.

Just got the Note Saturday and looking for the same. Not a lot to choose from what I have seen. I saw this on Amazon and for less on ebay. Have not ordered yet. I did order a TPU case and screen protector from Amazon but not sure yet about how to use as a phone, whether in the pocket or on belt...

Me too. I have never carried a phone in my pocket. Right now my note is backing up my skyrocket until I can figure out how to use and carry this as a phone. I prefer to wear on the belt but that seems to be a less popular way these days.

I too prefer carrying my case on my belt. Would prefer a horizontal case, but got this one last February. Belt loop through the belt, soft pouch.
Perfect size for the streak.
If/when a horizontal case comes up with a spring belt clip that isn't EXPENSIVE, I'll get one of those, but for now this one serves the purpose.

Yep fits it without stretching the pouch. Easy to get it in/out of the pouch.
The only "issue" is sort of a shoot yourself in the foot with a gun issue...
Sometimes when I get home, if I'm on the phone when I pull out the belt, I forget the phone is still on there until I hear it thump against the carpet LOL...never had an issue with it being in the pouch hitting the floor.
I have a diztonic case for my nexus. Is there a belt pouch compatible with the phone with the case on it?

It will fit into the Maxpedition 5" Clip-On Phone / Radio Holster. It is a bit pricey and a bit rugged (so not so good with a smart suit or tux!) but it will hold your phone securely.
Junk the metal belt clip because it can pull out. Thread your belt through the 3 Molle straps horizontally or make a belt loop from a Maxpedition 3" Tactie (Google instructions on using Tacties) or a Malice clip. I use this holster for my Galaxy S2 with a Tactie and it's totally secure.
One point to consider is that the corners of the phone are exposed but I find that the phone cover protects those.

Happy to help. Bear in mind that the 5" holster is really 5" tall and a Nexus is 5.33", so you'll have a little bit of phone protruding. Personally I think that's perfectly fine and gives you something to get hold of to pull the phone out, but I should probably have made that clear. The retaining strap is plenty long enough to accommodate the extra length.
I bought 2 of these for my SGS2 (black and khaki) and I love them. They're totally secure so long as you junk that crappy metal belt clip.
Please post back your opinion once you've tried yours.
Just received mine last week. It's pretty much exactly what I was looking for. Unfortunately I didn't have any 5" tac ties left to get it on my bag. Ordered those, should have them today sometime.
Overall I don't really have anything to complain about other than wishing I had a way for molle to be both secure and also easy to remove when I don't need it

Have you tried Malice clips? They're easier to thread and to undo providing you have a suitable tool handy. I personally don't like them because I find them big, clumsy and inflexible. They make horrid belt loops but they do hold stuff to a pack more tightly than a Tactie and won't ever come undone by accident.
If I don't mind something swinging about a bit I just fasten it with a carabiner. That's the ultimate quick-release Molle connector. :laugh:
The dimensions of this phone are 6.26" x 2.6" x .66" closed. I've been looking for a nice pouch to put it in rather than a case. I didn't find much but came across the idea to adapt a case for a different purpose to housing this phone. With that in mind here is a link to a case for eyeglasses that I think might work, what do you folks think?
https://www.lucrin.com/accessories/...ard-size-glasses-tan-real-ostrich-leather.htm
i bought a pouch for the fold and thats what i expect to use rather than a case.
I have use a microfiber sunglass pouch for my phone even if it has a case and screen protector. Helps keep pocket dust and stuff out and also serves as a cleaning cloth if needed. Been doing it for 6+ years now.
So I'm not Bat feces crazy, or at least not the only one who is bat feces crazy. I'm still sorting stuff out but I expect to be buying a nice high end leather pouch of some kind for this thing, ostrich, croc, etc. When you've spent this much money on a phone why not throw good money after bad?
Problem being when you're putting in or taking out of the pouch; sooner or later you'll fumble and it will tumble.
It's size, frequency of use and lack of sure handgrips almost guarantees it to happen.
Putting a tether on it might help, but a good case is mandatory to protect it.
B&H carries many different pouches and bags, their customer service is second to none. I use cargo and tactical pants to stash my 10+, works pretty well most times but only it's case has saved it from concrete hell.

Too many learned the hard way with the heavy near no bevel Note's when they fall with no case.
One case the owner's dog's tail whacked it off the table to patio oblivion.
Two layered protection systems generally work best ie hard polycarbonate shell with a semi hard urethane liner. Sort of slim pickens but the last two on this list here look promising.

Eye ball them carefully. You want some screen protection that will also double as false touch guards but not too excessive or it will impede usage.
Be careful that mic and speaker ports aren't covered.
At this price point these phones should have a hard tether point just like a camera...
not everyone is clumsy with smartphones. back in the day i use to use pouches all the time with big ass phones like the hitachi G1000 (google it) , the IBM Simon, and newer phones like the htc one max, and never had issues dropping it. lots of OG fold owners did not use a case on those phones and many had no issues.
sure some people are all thumbs with gadgets and that's why cases were made , but lets not post up that everyone drops phones because everyone don't.
matter of fact, my old school nexus 6 - i used a pouch with it, and still looks great all these years later...
Just a matter of time until fate shows you life isn't fair...

last couple days i've tried both of these cases and they are fine. i saw a cool looking case in the case thread i just picked up , but for now either of these are good for me.
Lowepro makes good gear. For a bare phone this is probably big enough as their internal dim specs tend to be generous. Belt or holster style mount with double lock velcro tabs that don't fail.

A B&H rep can tell you if it work... they are the best.
I use a shocksock. Works well.

Which model ? I've been wanting to a get a shocksock pouch for my fold 2, but they only make it for the fold 1.
The one for the Fold 1 fits the Fold 2 like a glove. Get that one!

Yes, I'm also using the Shocksock that I bought for my original Fold on the Fold 2 now.
Fitbag, a German pouch, is also very good, but exactly fits the device, so even a thin back cover will make the device circumference too large.

Which make is the second, holster-like pouch?
Used Lowepro gear for over a decade. Holds up well.
You need a belt or horizontal strap to mount this. The double securing velcro fasteners stay put.
B&H... were the pros go. Massive inventory and no bs.

Just got mine, and it really does fit like a glove, looks like it was made for the 2 instead of the 1
I was actually looking for something nice, ie real leather, that sort of thing. I do thank folks for their ideas and responses all the same, I may go to the sock if I cant find a nice ostrich leather or something similar.

When I buy clothes I look for ones the will accommodate the phone and other gear;
BDU pants, and vests with chest pockets etc.
The phone gets it's own pocket... works well.
