New style Matte/Glossy TPU Style cases available
http://www.evocases.net
i would jump if the clear wasn't frosted. i just picked up the glossy white evo, and would like to keep the glossy appearance. good prices though!
edit: retraction! the frost is fricking awesome! just got it today and its bad ass on the white evo!
I just ordered one. I'm going to try out the clear frost case. I was a little on the fence about it, but for $5, its worth checking out. Ill update as soon I get it.

It does take effort to activate the power button. This has been my experience with other TPU cases as well until the case is "broken in", not that TPU is similar to leather, but leather also requires some "breaking in" to achieve full performance.

Best seen with the Frosted case. Note the clear edges.
Since a lot of you have asked, here is an XDA coupon code for $1 off.
"xdadevs2010"
Just don't use the quotes.
I ordered 2 black and two frosted yesterday can't wait to check em out.

the frosted one looks pretty nice. for the guys who already ordered, please share some pics and thoughts on it when you get it!
I'm unfamiliar with these TPU cases. Are these just applied to the back and the whold front screen surface is basically still unobstructed? Can't quite tell from the pic. If so, I think that's what I've been looking for.
Also, does anybody know if it will fit over a full body Zagg?
Easy to remove? Want to use one for a disc-type car mount too maybe.
I just got my black TPU case....it fits SNUG around the phone and has a nice overall feel in the hands. Also slips in and out of the pocket with little resistance. The camera is well protected for such a slim case build.
The power button is a bit tough to push as are the volume up and down buttons but I will give them some time to "break" in.
I would definitely recommend checking this case out for the $6 dollars paid.
you just cant beat that price... You should get these posted on ebay and amazon. With that price and us seller theirs no doubt it will be a hit.

Amazon opens up a whole can of worms with it's fees and such. I used to sell on Amazon for approx. 3yrs but will no longer. The above should take care of 99% of the fan base.
Thanks for the kind words.
I just ordered up a black one I've been pretty unsatisfied with the cases I've played with so far but this one looks pretty good, especially for $6 shipped.
ordered one, thanks for the discount code
Ordered one too... Discount code? How much did you pay overall? I Paid 7.25
Got order one when I get home
It looks like SGP has updated their site with Vibrant cases. Right now they only have the Silke silicone cases on the site and they are all listed as out of stock. At least we know they are coming.
After the company told me they didn't sell cases for the phone in the US, this is a pleasant surprise. I hope this means they will bring the TPU and Ultra Slider over as well.

Those cases looks nice but they are also pricey and most of all they are all "Temporarily Out of Stock" :b

Yeah, looks like all of the Vibrant products are placeholders like on the Samsung website.
The pricing is higher than the eBay stuff, but looks to be cheaper than that French site that's selling the SGP stuff for the i9000 that someone else posted about.
it is a bit expensive but it includes a screen protector.
I heard good things about the screen protectors.
I want the slider
These cases are very sleek and the colors are fairly vibrant (what a perfect match ). $20.00 + shipping isn't too bad for those cases, since they do come with the Screen protector as well. I might get one of those when it becomes available.
I just sent them an email inquiring about the availability of their slider cases so hopefully we'll see some of those as well

I'd be interested in hearing how they respond. When I emailed them they said they weren't going to sell the Galaxy S cases in the US....one week later they show up on the site.
If they don't plan to sell the sliders directly, there's always that French company selling them for a few bucks more - we'll see if any of the people who ordered one actually get them.

Nicest cases I've seen so far... wish i hadn't ordered a tmo silicon case
Yea, those cases do look nice. I just oredered a Vibrant off ebay. I was hoping to get this case! Can anyone link me to the French site? Cause it's been out of stock for sometime now on the SGP site.
Hello everyone!
Ebay and the local stores have hardly any accessory for the samsung galaxy note. Even if there are stores that do deal in accessories for this device, I have not heard about them.
I thought this would be a perfect platform to discuss about accessories for the note and help map the stores for people who don't have much idea (like me).
Inviting ideas and opinions, please.

As for me, I have:
- a decent P250 screen protector (not bad for the price) | Glossy | Finger print magnet | they did not have the matte one
- sad and boring looking jelly-case (does the job though). | P250 as well | Some reviewer was taking about some Samsung original (flip top) covers, but it was hardly any info as I could not find where he got it from.
Tomorrow I will check out the zagg invisible shield store at SM Megamall (I guess there is one). And will hit back to the topic with the pricing and quality.

Accesories for Note
I bought a decent screen protector in Greenhills for Php150. First I look around, there were many of them selling the same screen protector but the cheapest I could find of the same brand was Php150. Sorry I forgot the name. Matte and gloss available. Just look and ask around in Theater Mall GH, not in ViraMall GH as it is more expensive there.
Also I was able to find a realook screen protector matte or gloss (take your pick) also somewhere in Theater Mall GH, it comes with 2 screen protector, cleaning cloth, alcohol something (I guess for cleaning) and its around Php600-800. Looks legit. She even gave me a calling card of the GM of the company of realook here in Phil. She tried to sell me only one piece of the shield that is already open for Php600. Good thing I read at the back of the package that it comes with 2 pcs of shields. I got it down as low as 500 and she still agreed to sell it to me. I didn't bite.
She said it will be available soon so I will be back there next time. I think the one she tried to sell me was only a sample.
For casing in GH, just jellys. Try looking in the internet, there are already a lot of cases available and with high quality. They ship in the Philippines. I am just not sure about the feel that is why I am still waiting for legit cases to be available here so I can try it out first before buying.
For the flip cover, if you buy directly from Samsung or from any legit stores, the cover comes with it. At the back of the package, it writes 'Not for sale.'
the note and the accessories for it should've arrived on the same date. its really hard to protect a big phone/tablet from scratches and all.
waiting for otterbox to arrive, its taking too long
I have seen otterbox for iphone, it looks good. I will wait and see if it becomes available here in Phil for the note. I hope it arrives soon. I have been using the free flip cover, its good but it offers no protection for the sides.
Sent from my GT-N7000 using Tapatalk
Had gone to megamall today... saw the flip cover from samsung at wellcom (guess that's the name of the store). But it was free with a purchase of a new note (P34990). They were not selling it separately though, which was sad.
The samsung mobile store was crowded as hell. Wanted to check out a store unit of the note and compare it to mine (for the screen issues), but I could not (other people checking the unit). Not a single sales person paid attention to what I needed (a flip cover). Was disappointed, but that's howsamsung operates around the world, I guess.
Zagg Invisible shield was also there. The sales people over there were too busy to notice my presence (though I am 6ft tall). Did not get to know if they had something for the note. But I did look at the price (if available). P1000 for the back part. P800 for the screen. And P1500 for the whole unit. Is kinda expensive, but hey, protection comes at a premium.

Yes! There was a store in the Technohub! Any news on the Flip Covers for the device? Any one selling it in loose?
I passed by Zagg in Megamall last Friday with my Galaxy Note. The lady said she didn't have any shields yet for the note... so, i opted for a screen protector which cost me 200 pesos (at BSA International) and a stupid looking blue jelly case.
In ebay, there are some really nice leather cases... especially those that are made in Korea. A bit pricey though... ranging from $35 to $75... shipping not included.

May be that is why they were not paying attention to me! they might have seen me with a note in my hands and thought that they cant help me anyway...
About otter box, Nothing available as yet! this is getting pretty sad... screen issues doubled up with lack of accessories... Just a silly scratch guard and a stupid jelly case over here too!
i bought a capdase copy + gloss protector for just 150php..im still lurkin around for some leather flipcases..
ebay casing nad screen protectors
Hey guys!
I have been checking in ebay philippines with Location filtered to Worldwide.
There are a lot of sellers selling decent casing for galaxy note. There is the Black S line Silicone TPU Skin Case Cover for less than PhP200, also there is the aluminum cover that looks sleek selling for PhP1,500. For screen protectors, I haven't gone back to GH to check on the realook screen protectors but I'm sure by next year they already have that. I was there late November and they already have it opened that's why I didn't buy it.
Also, ebay (filtered worldwide) is selling flip covers but it is really expensive with price at least PhP2,000.
Thanks!
I have only seen matte screen protectors around. They make the white of the screen look sparkly and as such would like a clear protector instead.
To those guys who bought the clear/glossy screen protectors, what store/mall did you buy them from and how much did you guys pay for them?
How is the quality as well? Does it affect the screen that much?
And to those who have bought matte screen protectors, have you had any matte screen protector that did not affect the whiteness of the screen (did not make is sparkly)?
Thanks.

Btw, for others asking about the case with NOT FOR SALE tag. I was able to buy one for P800 at Cyberzone SM Cubao. (Yes, I'm that silly. Lol!) Forgot the name of the shop but its just near the escalator, beside Tylex.
Got an original samsung flip case for the note at GH for 800php. This however still leaves the sides unprotected so I had to use a jelly case, only I cut the sides to accommodate the flip part. It doesn't look ugly as it sounds, and does the job until we get invisishield for the Note.

Globe APN
Hey guys! Sorry if I am in the wrong thread, but I think this is where all the Note users in Phil are posting.
Quick question: Were you able to activate your Globe 3g on your Note? Please share the APN settings. I am having trouble connecting to 3g. I am a Globe prepaid user and my sim card is I think 4 to 5 years old.
Many thanks!

Casemate POPin wihte...google it.
1. Sorry to hear about your broken case.
2. Rule of thumb: never, ever buy accessories in-store. The markup is ridiculously high. You're just flushing money down the toilet. See the links I've posted below, they charge a whole lot less for cases made essentially by the same people (China), and they're Still making good profit. Of course, if the item is a brand name item like for example Seidio, Case-Mate, Zagg, etc., you'll still get a better price online, just not as steep a discount as comparable items. Your best bets:
Generic, white on white
Generic, white on black
Generic, white on black (different seller)
Like the one Sprint offers, but the white version
Case-Mate Pop! Case
Case-Mate Pop! Case on Amazon
If you plan on buying one of the "Generic" ones above (which also come in other colors), be sure to do the modifications to the case as highlighted on Youtube by nerys71. And if I'm not mistaken, he's also a user on here in the forum. Shout-out to you, bud.

I've seen several places online that sell them(this seller had the best price), now they're nowhere to be found. Your best bet currently is to contact the eBay seller and ask if they'll be getting more of that case any time soon. Keep looking on eBay, Amazon, and Google, it might pop-up somewhere if a seller gets a shipment of them.
I'm not much of a fan of that case. When I first got my E4GT, I remember buying the black version of it. It seemed to be more of a tray that your phone popped into than a case. The coverage around the phone wasn't good, especially at the top and bottom of the phone. And the kickstand was extremely hard to open (on the one I got at least) and seemed cheap and couldn't stand the phone up-right. But hey, whatever floats your boat. To each their own.

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.

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.

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........
