Hi guys,
I bought this case the other day, after buying a £14 360 degree rotation case on ebay at the same time I bought my Note 10.1... It was cool, cause you could separate the case, and use just the inner case without the cover bit, but it was crap quality. It felt crap, wasn't lined, the camera on the front wasn't lined up, and I wasn't satisfied.
Upon looking for another case that I could buy that was in the UK, I found the "The Pad'" 'folio case' by Shocksock....
It's only a few quid more than the other case I bought, but is miles better. Everything lines up really well, and the case, while not oozing quality, feels nice, and looks smart. There is a couple of sharp feeling sticky-outy threads, where the sewing has been done, and the thread cut, but other than that, it's great. It's a shame it's not seperatable, but it's just miles better, and reasonable IMO for £20. I certainly couldn't find anything that looked better, so took a punt. It can also be positioned at any angle, due to a hard velcro ridge at the bottom of the tablet that sticks into and on the lining of the cover. The magnet seems a little weak, but it's closing nicer now the Note has settled into the case and stretched it in the right places - It also feels cushioned and very protective... recommended.

Thanks for the pics, that does look very good for 20 quid!
The design is different from a lot of the cases up for sale available via links on this forum.
One question though, is there a gap/cut out for the S-pen?
Unfortunately this came a little too late for me though, I purchased the original Samsung book case in dark grey and have a noreve leather one on order.
It's BULKY!

Hey guys just picked this case up on Saturday. Got it from the mall. Pretty sure this brand is the kind that you see at all those little mall kiosks that sell cell phone accessories. Anyways, the case is pretty much perfect. It is slim and painted matte black. The matte color lets you grip the phone way better than the stock gloss backing.
I had the original T-Mobile silicon case and I couldn't stand the bulk and how it would not slide into my pocket. This case is opposite in every way to that case. Slim and not sticky.
All of the buttons and the micro slider are VERY easy to access. No trouble what-so-ever.
I have the link posted to the manufacturer, but I don't see the exact case I have listed. Weird. The woman in the mall also had crystal clear and a black smokey version.
Hope this helps some of you guys who are waiting for the SGP. I couldn't wait any longer. I paid 20 for this case. I totally got scammed, they go for like 10 bucks on the net, but I couldn't wait.

i have the same case i got mine from cellaris
I didn't like this case because after taking it on/off a few times, the right side where the power button is started to creak whenever i pressed on it. I guess its not a big deal considering that its les than $10 on eBay, but it was kind of annoying for me.
Oops, thought this was different case till i looked closer. Looks decent but not a fan of the split case design. Tend to wear out quickly.
Well I got sick of the added bulk/weight of my verizon dual case looking around on ebay I found this Ringke case. It's a silicone case, not too much added protection if it were dropped but just for daily use it's good enough. It definitely improves the power button feel, barely even have to touch it. Fit's nice and snug on the phone adds almost nothing to it. It isn't like most silicone cases collecting lint/getting stuck in your pocket it's a different material never seen it on a phone case before Only real complaint is with after market chargers the rubber kind of gets in the way but other then that I have zero complaints about it. For the price I think it was a decent deal.
just figured there might be others out there not sure about it, like I was and give a little insight on it.
16.00 shipped
Ringke Case
if really wanted I could get pictures of mine on the phone.
I'll post a video review in a couple days. If your looking for a case which add very little bulk to the phone this is it. High quality silicone which doesn't pick up lint, dust or dirt.

Hi all,
I have my Cyan 900 on order and I'm looking for a holster style case - like this Rocketfish product (http://www.rocketfishproducts.com/products/mobile-phones-gps/RF-WR559.html). I had this for my Focus and it was great. Soft faux leather, soft interior, with a magnetic clasp.
Anyway, given that the 900 is new, there isn't much available. So, comparing the dimensions, Motorola Droid RAZR and HTC Titan are close in size. However, seaching for a holster style case (horizontal) for these cases yielded limited results. Does anyone have any suggestions for a horizontal, holster styled case?
Thanks
Looking for the same thing
If your Focus fit in it there is a good chance the NL900 will too. I have a Focus and I use a Golla phone wallet and the NL900 fits perfect in it. I plan on spending the full $100 in promo $ when I go into the At$t store on Monday and pick up mine.

Cheap and looks nice. I tried an all black case with my blue phone and it didnt look good.
Paying 20 - 30 for the same quality is just ridiculous.
The only catch here is that its EXACTLY the length of the phone so if you are looking good corner protection if you drop it in the case move on.
It was snug the first day but has loosened up to the point now after 4 days that it fits nicely. AT first I had to push it in to one side at a slight angle then drop it in but now it almost falls in smoothly.
The shipping to TX was 3 business days. I ordered on Fridayfrom eBay after the phone pre-order and had it on Tuesday

My little review on the "Beyond Cell" "Duo shield" Samsung Galaxy S3 case.
after getting my s3, i like everyone else started looking for cases.
I couldn't justify spending $40+ on a case ( i know its not much ) but for me, i could essentially vacuum formed ABS around it & then painted that with 1 can of plastidip & had a case as good, if not stronger then a otter-box defender
so i went perusing the beautiful internets of china & saw some cases that were around $10-$20 . i saw a few, but it seemed like all where the same but the sellers were just inflating the prices.
so i decided i also wanted a kickstand, so what i wanted was:
kick stand,
hard-case
soft gel case to go over hardcase
So enter the Beyond Cell DUo Shield.
it cost me about $13 shipped & i surprisingly received it about 5 days after ordering.
I have dropped this thing 3 times on purpose from about waist height. & 2 on accident (it was on my lap when i got out of my car) & all is well still no cracks or breaks...etc.
the rubber sleeve has nubs on the inside of it, that press the buttons, so you don't have the hard dead feeling like with hard buttons. all the ports are accessible, 1 little issue i have with it, is i dont like how it emcpompases the LED, speaker & camera...but those are aesthetic issues.
pics are below.
I will get the pics of the phone in the case when i get my Nexus 7 from work since i cant take a pic of the phone in the case with the phone...lol

So this is a review of a nice dual-protection case from tmart.com! It's called the Hard Shell Silicone Case, and it comes in a few colors. I chose the black and gray because it looks best with my white GS3. honestly, I was never into big cases, but i think i'm going to run this case for a while because it just feels nice, and does add a bit more protection!
here's a few pics:

so like i said, the case feels nice and sturdy. it's not TOO bulky, but it's bulkier than i'm used to (basic TPU cases like zoogue, diztronic etc) but again, it does add some protection. it reminds me of a Ballistic dual protection case, honestly. and it's so cheap that it's totally worth it to try it out!
really no cons. everything seems to line up well...at first, though, I noticed when I was taking pictures with flash, there seemed to be a darker spot to the left in the image. upon further inspection, it seemed the flash/camera hole weren't lined up perfectly. all i had to do was take the phone out and re-align it within the case, and this was solved. so, it's not an issue, it's just like every other case out there where it has to be put in perfectly for everything to align well. (i had the same issue with diztronic and zoogue, where the charge port hole wouldn't line up and the charger would fall out.)
the charger port hole seems cut out well, but bigger usb ends don't stay in well. the samsung one is fine, but if you're using another brand (i have a blackberry USB laying around) it kind of wiggles so you really have to make sure it's in.
in the end, this case is awesome! totally worth it for the price!
