Hello everyone,
I was going through videos on youtube of SGN 10.1 cases and I found this one, and I gotta say that this is one of the most interesting cases I've seen! The Korean website listed that it will be available September 14th (thank you google), but their international website listed the availability as early September. I'm definitely itching for the black one! The pricing might be a little high but it's better than any official Samsung case I've ever seen.
Do You know if portrait is possible with this case?
Judging by the pictures and the video they provided, I doubt it's possible.
Nice but I would prefer a simpler version without exterior stylus holder and without hand strap as elastic tend to stretch over time whereit'll evetually be a dangling mess.
There have been several posts regarding Zenus cases already in the Cases thread, you can all find more information there.
Yes, I understand that this thread is related to the Zenus cases ONLY and I think it's a good idea to have a specific thread where the owners of a Zenus case can share their experience etc. The above was, again, just a notification that you can find more information in the other thread.

just noticed the international site has changed the availability date for the Lettered case from "the early of September" to "the Mid of September" so the release date of the 14th sounds about right
Not sure about this one. Notice that it's not leather but PU leather. This in itself doesn't mean anything.
They most likely will have another higher-end line with real leather veneer for these also. They will run about $120 US, but they will be MUCH better quality all around and a different design. You can get an idea by searching on Ebay for other tablets, phones etc.. It's actually pretty confusing, so if you do this, take your time and look very closely. Unfortunately though, going by pictures isn't all that much help i'm afraid.
Just aheads up.
The case in the link looks pretty nice though.
Yeah I was pretty disappointed when I read that it was "synthetic leather", but it still looks good. I'll see if someone will post a video review of the case when it becomes available.

Yeah, around the 14th sounds about right.
I've also been in contact with a sales representative from zenuscase.net and he/she promised that I would get an email when the case was available, so all we can do is to wait.
I will buy a case even though it's not real leather and I will post a written review when I have received it.

Real leather would be better for this particular design given the burned-in emboss look. I think this case will be 'ok'. The leather ones they release will be 'fantastic', going by my albeit, somewhat limited experience.
But then again, this PU job may be great. Don't know.
Also, it's perhaps useful to know that the genuine leather cases that Zenus does sell are really a leather veneer (like Vaja cases). This is ok for a tablet case as they can make them rigid and therefore lightweight. All leather cases can also be really nice of course, but it's probably going to be a traditional portfolio rather than an exposed bezel design.

I just placed an order at http://zenuscase.net/tablets/galaxy-note-10-1.html for a brown Masstige Lettering Diary case, which I think will look VERY good with my white Note 10.1
Estimated shipping time is 2-3 weeks, I will post a quick "first look" type of review here once I have the case.

Thats great news! Being lefty, that is just what i'm looking for, still waiting for mine to arrive. Thanks.
Some more sharing...
Pros:
1. Stable stand in both viewing angles. Can support palm resting on it when writing.
2. Hard cover offers good protection to the screen when closed.
3. The elastic band allows holding the device in one arm easily.
4. Fit the device well. Easy to take out the s pen.
5. Professional look
Cons:
1. Considerably heavier than my expectation. (Well, you need to pay for the pros)
2. When holding by left arm, must be in portrait orientation due to the position of the elastic band.

You read that right. The Otterbox Commuter series case has been announced for the Galaxy s2. http://www.otterbox.com/Samsung-Gal...es-Case/SAM4-I9100-20-E4OTR_A,default,pd.html
OTTERBOX RELEASED! ORDER NOW
Just placed my order at otterbox.com
Found two coupons that I applied:

My total was : $31.45
Hit thanks if you used it!
sweet, nice case
I'd buy this!
Anyone thinking of "case mate tough" as well?
I'll probably pick one up to replace my case mate. The bottom and top edges on the case mate annoy me.

same here. but I think the commuter also has this behavior (based on my acquaintance with the defender and commuter line from my iP4 and SGS)
Excellent! Thx for letting us know, OP. I'll be getting this case as well.
Yea, I was about to pull the trigger on getting the case-mate. But you cant compare that quality to Otterbox. They are the best.
c'mon release fast!!
I've actually spoken with Customer Service and a product manager over at Otterbox. They said they know for sure it will release this summer. They also said that normally after a product hits their site, they see a 4-6 week delay until the product is actually sold to the public. I remember back when the iPhone 4 cases were to be releases, it was about a 6 week or so delay. They just want to make sure they have enough stock for the first wave and that they don't run out and cause big back orders as it will be hard to catch up. Most importantly, they have other cases to supply as well and I am pretty sure they order from one or two factories in china as all of the cases are shipped from there. So they can only make some many cases at a time. Please be patient... I know that I myself cannot wait. Dont get a case-mate. It wont compare to otterbox.
are otterbox cases generally easy to remove?
Yes, no problem getting them on and off. My other half has a commuter on her Blackberry and I had a defender for mine a few years back
Sent from my GT-I9100 using Tapatalk
The way I see it is that their defender series cases are a bit of a pain to put on and remove but for commuter series, once you understand that they wont break it takes seconds to remove and if it ever cracks even due to a drop, otterbox will replace them for free which is why they rock

Neo Hybrid and otter box cases are two different beasts entirely.
Neo Hybrid is mainly for looks and very minor protection, overall build quality is very light and not very sturdy. The Otterbox cases are designed to be rugged and able to easily take drops and bums with no damage what so ever.
Using Neo Hybrid myself and yes I think it looks great but offers very little protection and quite worried if I actually dropped it that both case and phone would have a good chance of breaking.
Just found this new case from their Korean website, anyone knows how to get one if you don't live in Korea?
http://www.zenuscase.co.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=1138&main_cate_no=1&display_group=2
Just order it my friend from the international site www.zenuscase.net. With EMS it came in just one week.

Unfortunately the new one on the Korean site isn't on zenuscase.net yet, it's a different version. I too would like to know where to buy this new Block Folio on the Korean site, it's amazing and exactly what I was looking for.
Ok I seriously need to find this case,
http://www.zenuscase.co.kr/front/php/product.php?product_no=1138&main_cate_no=1&display_group=2
If there is anyone in S. Korea I can pay to ship this to the US for me I'd compensate.
Do you think this case will trickle down to the international site? Here is the old Masstige Block Folio on the international site, http://www.zenuscase.net/product-29997.html
You're actually getting synthetic leather for real leather price? Okay, not quite, I had to check the folio case again, $25-$30 calculating inflation. A bit surreal in favor of a design but I suppose coming from Korea is better than alike cases from China. Boy do those stink, literally!
For me, the new design's elastic band closure is a fail already. Short term expectancy fine, however long term is not suitable. I've had my eyes on a Zenus real leather classic diary case myself, and contacted a seller on ebay for a discount 'cause I'm getting one w/ a few other items on her e-store. She agreed and gave me -9% off (Zenus' site) everything shipped from Seoul.
So I'm pretty sure the case you want will show up on ebay eventually. Do you have the patience for it? You know a lot more are coming out when AT&T launches their release, right?
You could take this opportunity and befriend a Korean ahjumma at church or Korean supermarket, and probably get this even sooner. LOL! I'm thinking outloud to a scene what I will do if I'm in a rush for one of these puppies.
Have you found any other photo of the case? For example how it looks open, the back cover etc.
It's also on ebay

The only site with photos right now is the Korean Zenus site. Can't find any reviews of this new Block Folio case either. There is a youtube video which showcases how it opens and looks (located on Korean site). But as the user above me incorrectly posted, this Block Folio is NOT yet available through eBay.
I sent a customer service email to Zenus requesting additional information regarding the new Block Folio and it's availibility outside of Korea...I will share my response here when I receive it.
Received a reply from Zenus Customer Support. New Block Folio is active on International site via here: http://www.zenuscase.net/product-30006.html
Ordered mine just now. I think it's a bug for the color selection they have "Real Black.Fierce Red" listed as one color option. During the checkout of both the site and PayPal, I put under the notes that I prefer Real Black. I also replied to the customer service agent from Zenus and let him know of the web error to help ensure the color preference of my order.
You can dog the synthetic leather or the poly bottom casing, but its a fine case for $29. The folio I've been waiting for.
Btw, tried dealing with Noreve as a substitute...they suck. Worst customer support on the planet.
Ordered a brown one myself, looking forward for it to come soon
This looks good!
For use as a tablet and for use with a Bluetooth headset; but how the heck would you ever use it as a phone (say headphone dropped connection) with this case?
With case closed it still has a cutout for the speaker. Both mics are uninhibited when closed as well. Just got this. A Sennheiser VMX 200. And a Freedom Pro BT keyboard. Excited

I will let you know Wednesday when the VMX 200 arrives. But from what I've read and seen you can expect incredibly fast power on to pair times as well as what should be improved battery life.
I am considering ordering a Zenus case from their website but live in Southern Europe. Has anyone ordered a case from Europe and knows how long it would take for it to arrive approximately?

This is a stupid question but here goes... does anyone know if you can flip the front of the case around the back? Seems like a given, but the only pictures show it either closed, open on a flat surface, or open used as a stand. None of them show the case folded fully around the back...

Yes, these flip covers look good, but the original one has a must have feature for me: It replaces the battery cover so it doesn't make the phone thicker and keeps its great look and feel.

OK, I don't take responsibility for this as I still don't recommend those type of cases (less material, less protection ) but on the picture it looks like what you are looking for. It says it's aluminum so should be better it terms of durability, but I don't know if it won't reduce your signal strength a bit.

It doesn't look like PU leather, more like some kind of carbon/textile. That seems to be awesome!

P.S.: I don't like big cases like silicone bumpers or bags or something like this. I just trust in my ability to handle my phone without letting it fall to the ground. That worked with other phones for years, so I take the risk.

Yup, the one from Anymode looks really nice. But you will probably have to wait a few days or maybe weeks until it's available outside Korea (or you can try buy it from their website, I don't speak Korean so I can't help you with that). And it won't be cheap as I suppose it won't be less than $50-$60 without shipping.

But this case actually makes the phone a few millimeters thicker, so you should think again what's your priority. High quality looks or phone slimness.
Oh no, that's too expensive for me. Not bad at all, so my decission was easy!
I just ordered the Flipcover that you suggested for 20$. I hope I will receive it in May and give feedback after I got it!

Yes there is. Check out Amazon uk. Samsung have a lizard leather flip case. Much stronger than original flip. I have had it for approaching a month now and no sign of wear. At it is thicker than original, it takes a little bit more pressing down on the back to secure it. But once it is on, it does the job of protection, looks stylish and professional. I have photos of it in the 'post your case' thread if u r interested
Holy moly, in my opinion that "lizard"-style leather is ugly!
Thanks for your answer, everybody who loves this leather style will love this case too! But that's nothing for my sense of style.
If they produced this flipcase with "normal smooth" leather...
Anyways, I'm waiting for my blue flip case from Hongkong which is already on its way to me. Hopefully that's good quality, than it's perfect for me.

Wow, it just arrived. Unbelievable fast, I thought I would be very lucky if I get it next Friday.
My first thoughts are very positive: It fits perfect and feeld high quality.
The Flip gives a good protection, it's very strong. The battery cover is a bit thicker than the original one, so it protects the camera lense but doesn't make the phone bulky.
Two little disadvantages: It smells quite bad, but I believe in a week the stink is gone. And the back is very smooth, even a bit slippery. The plastic texture of the original had more grip, but it the aluminium looks simply great. So that's ok.
I'm very happy with it!

Congrats on your case!
I am not sure if the seller is trust worthy either, but does anyone know if the
Anymode Case Galaxy Note Stand Folio Case Series from ExportPrive would work on the SGH-I717 or is it just for the International Note?
Edit:
Also Found it on Amzon for $85
Edit 2:
Ater some google-fu on the case and exportprive, I went ahead and ordered it. Apparently the case is made for the Japanese model of the Galaxy Note, so it does have the NFC antenna on the battery cover of the case (I have the SGH-i717) . The only foreseeable downfall I see is that it doesn't snap on properly, that would hurt. But for $63 including shipping, I say it is worth the risk considering I fell in love with the anymode case at&t sells, but thought it was to pricey for a brick&motor store to sell. Now I will get a kick stand plus earpiece cut out! Will update when I receive it.
"Genuine" Samsung flip cover
Hello Friends.
I intend on purchasing a genuine Samsung flip cover (white) for my Galaxy Note (ceramic white).
I had a look on Amazon UK and for illustrative purpose I have posted the link below.

The product is Samsung Flip Cover for Galaxy Note - Blue by Samsung. Considering it has by Samsung displayed on the link, is it safe to presume it is a genuine Samsung product?
I ask the above because the Samsung UK website does not have any cases/covers listed under the Accessories category.

@Aryana90 do you mind posting some pics of the cover on your phone? Is it a replacement back cover, like the "genuine" cover?
The genuine cover (in YLNdroid's post) is a lovely fit, but probably isn't great for long term use, a lot of people complain that it wears out quickly. But it only adds about 1.5mm to the phone, so that's very attractive.

Yes, it is a replacement back cover. I think it adds not more to the phone than the original cover, but seems to be better quality. And looks amazing in blue!
I try to make some pictures this evening and will post it here.

So is it inadvisable to purchase the "genuine" flip cover advertised on the Amazon UK link I mentioned in my previous post?

Aryana90, is the said cover you purchased as good as the "genuine" one? Does it have Galaxy Note inscribed on the front and Samsung inscribed on the rear?
If so, where can I get one in white colour? I have a ceramic white Galaxy Note.
I apologise for sounding a bit too paranoid perhaps! With all due respect, I do not want a sub-standard case/cover for my Galaxy Note.
i ordered one of these , as keeping the case away from your skin by a few millimeters cuts down the emissions by heaps

I didn't get my case, yet but I have search results based on Google.

They're expensive, but Vaja has one small leather case out already, and I'm sure they'll design more with the relative similarity between carrier devices, and the number of buyers across the world.
The first one they've come up with is $70, which sounds really high, but I can tell you from experience that these things are inSANEly well-made. They're probably hand-stitched by one 85 year-old lady in Venezuela, but their cases are awesome.
Cheaper one

I can't post URLs yet, but I got a leather carrying case on Amazon for about $6.
I got this one. I love it because vertical position is a must and also the clip can rotate. It does leave some black marks on the back of the phone but nothing is perfect
The $5 & $10 cases on ebay /amazon are not real leather.
I am also interested in some real leather options. A search showed "hoco" as an option, they look pretty slim too.

I've had an Easecase (a different model from the one the OP ordered - I think mine is a B1) for my HD2, S2 and now S3. They're really well made, fit perfectly and you get a choice of leather, lining colour, closure system etc, I do look at other ones available but in the end I always end up getting their stuff

Seconded! I don't have one for my S3 (yet), but I've been considering the Grip or the Pouch they have on their site.
I've bought their cases for past phones and not only do they look great, but they're very durable. The price-point is a little painful, but well-worth it in my book.
Might as well ask this here. But do any of you guys (yea guys on this one) carry around a wallet case? I was gonna get a SGP Valentinus black for my SGS3 but I got to thinking, maybe it seems a little feminine. I wanted one cuz it would mean for me to not carry a wallet around. I wanted either the Valentinus or the Argos. What you guys think

You can use Capdase leather case. Maybe some of them got wallet design. But recently, they use a frame to hold the phone and neglect those wallet layer. Sigh........
is it genuine ?

For those interested.

Nice but...
Nice, but expensive!
Agreed. They're known for being pricey.
Great. Thanks for posting this.
I have had Noreve cases before....they are always very high quality leather.
I like the thiness.
Very tempting !
I just bought this one 4 days ago. It's a ROCK.
http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ROCK-tex...6?pt=AU_TabletAccessories&hash=item257507249a
Update:
Couldn't resist, I just bought it !
It's perfectly designed in my opinion. I don't think one will find a better case. Much better than Samsung's case.
Since I purchased several items before from Noreve, they gave me a special certificate and I got a $23.00 discount. It only cost me AUD $70.00.
I will mostly likely sell my ROCK case !

How do you like the Rock Case? Any good? What about the insides? Any chance it will scratch up the finish of the Note because the edges don't look very soft.
Also, does it hold on nice and tight? I noticed there is a strap on the back; how exactly do you get it to wrap around the front? Couldn't find any videos for it.
What color is yours? I'd be interested in picking it up if you can ship overseas.
Rock Case---Ebay US has it up on there site. I ordered from there last week- Shipped from China. I should have it in a few days and will post some comments and pix. I like the look of the Rock case.

Could you post a couple of photos when you get it?
I was actually planning on buying one for myself, but now that I've checked out the pictures on their website, I'm not that impressed. Their case for Galaxy Tab 2 seemed a bit more premium than this, in my view...

It hasn't arrived yet. Should be here any day now.
I believe the strap is made of some sort of elastic as a photo shows it being wrapped around the case on their ebay sites.
I got the grey coloured one. I'll report back about your concerns about the possibility of scratches on the device.

Yes, I'll post some pictures when it arrives. But the site says that it is not due until the 13th.
Didn't see the Tab one. But I haven't really seen anything better that's real leather and is designed with all the important design features that are really important to me.

The biggest thing going for the Noreve IMO, besides the fantastic quality is the all around protection it offers the device around the bezel area. Most of the other cases that look good seem to just cover the device at the corners.
I was waiting for the Samsung case but could not resist this case, it really does look awesome. I noticed on the site that they had two styles but I chose the one on the Op's link as I did not want one with a magnetic fastener.
The site advised that they manufacture/hand make it within 14 days. I ordered the dark brown one, they call it Châtaigne.
I really hope I won't be disappointed with this case.
Edit: link below shows both designs:

Congrats. I'm holding out for an even pricier number posted on the cases thread.

Mmm...let me guess, does the name of the case you want rhyme with "penis"
LOL it might, I honestly don't remember. Just remember seeing it and a price tag. I immediately fainted.
I just ordered the sable vintage version of the case linked in the OP's post. I was thinking I'd order the Zenu case, but as it's not yhet available, and I wasn't overly keen on the embossing all over it, I think this one will do the trick.

Which one is that?, the one I ordered is from the "ambition" selection, the second one after the black one.

It's the "exception" selection, second one along.
If you click on it and expand have a look at the opened page, there's some examples of each styles with review pages. I looked at the one for the Sable Vintage section by tabletpccorner.net (would post the link but I can't post links yet - too new...). The photos in this review "sold" me on the look.

I love the look / function of that case too, however it sucks its not real leather, for that price I would think it would be.

Nice choice, I was also looking at that one but went for the other one because it seems more durable although this one does have some serious class !

After looking at the current selection of Zenus cases, I'm back on the Noreve bandwagon. Good looking to a fault, and classic.
