So I got a flip cover from the Samsung US website and it doesn't snap on my note. The little prongs are very short and don't even line up properly. A couple of the corners seem to snap on, but the other two don't, and the whole cover just doesn't stay on at all. Really crappy manufacturing from an original Samsung accessory. Very disappointed with Samsung on this one...
are you using this on International Note? The back cover of US model is not compatible with the International model.
And sometimes you really need to apply some pressure to snap it in place first time.
I'm using the international flip cover with the international Note and am very impressed with the quality and finish. Fits like a glove and looks exclusive too.

Personally, I don't like the booklet/diary cover type case on the Note...
In taking or dialling a call, you have to flip it all the way to the back of the phone (just for the sake of it.) For me it's kind of awkward to hold on with the flip cover being flipped at the back.
I like the flip down cover case more. No hassle, just flip it down when your going to use your Note, and flip it up again when your done using your phone.

Yes.. I agree, I got one with the note when I bought it 4 months ago, and I didn't really like how you have to fold it back to make/receive a call. I took it off and now its just sitting in my drawer and now I am using my note without any case as it just looks good without any case. I just didn't want to add any bulkiness as its already a big phone...
just bought a flip down leathercase (black), Now I'm really not feeling awkward in using my phone...
Using the flip diary cover back then was a cumbersome part really on my end to use my phone (especially in calling)... Now that I bought the flip-down leathercase....
I get the ease of use and better protection already .. all rolled into one

The Samsung flip cover is nice and thin, but I gave up on it because it does not fit in the Car Dock or the desk dock. I would like one same in concept, but flip over the top - just like the Palm Tungsten T3 I used for years.

You can dial/answer a call and then close the lid. Simple as that.

Bending the cover/lid all the way to back, is not my take of convenience... IMHO..
I would prefer the flip-down cover, where if you would use the phone (taking/receiving calls or what-nots), its just a simple way of flipping down the cover, no strain needed at all.... (as compared to the diary/booklet type where you really have to exert some force bending the face cover all the way to the back of it and hold it with with your hand).
That's just my take anyway... I guess to each its own.. whichever suits your fancy..
Why u should NOT USE that flip cover..
People I am giving you a video review of why u should NEVER USE that flip cover if u love your Galaxy Note..n after watching it u will agree with me..

We five friends took 5 notes at the same go and got the same flip cover by Samsung, free with them,
3 out of five were perfect fit, however two of them were not completely flushed with the body as described by you, they replaced both of them in a week one was a fit and one was plagued with the same issue.
The retailer told that it was a known issue with the last lot of covers that he received.(He claimed returning 16 of those covers and directing four people to service center)
So this time we were redirected to a service center where they adjusted some groves on the phone and the same cover flushed properly with the phone.
All the three notes without the issues were for guys and the other two belonged to girls LOL ha ha ha well that's a different story.
Off topic:
I am not happy with the build quality of the flip covers as its just few weeks old and the leather(or whatever it is) is already peeling from different places had to use tiny bits of super glue..........
Confused
My people out here just wanted to know if there is any difference between the SGN I7000 and the ATnt version, HW wise am asking that too not internal.
Cause the other day I saw a hard case and holster for note, it was advertised just for SGN atnt 717, but not for I7000.
So my question is will it fit both?? Or is there any difference in the contours of the phone body??
TIA

Actually the atnt version is slightly smaller than the international version, but includes 4g lte. Also the exynos processor is faster than the snapdragon processor found in the atnt version. Also, the atnt version has 4 soft touch buttons at the bottom of the screen and the international version has 2 soft touch buttons, with a physical home button between them.

The Samsung flip cover is not that bad - it gives a fairly ok rear protection to SGN and gives the phone a classy look when viewed from the front.
The only protection for my SGN i still need is a screen guard
The add-on stock Samsung Flip cover is an eye candy alright, and I agree.. it gives a classy and sleekness on the phone itself.... BUT
comfortability and usability wise... it's another case already... I totally dislike the usability of it... It is not convenient (for me) using it especially on taking or recieving calls, It is totally cumbersome and awkward to flip it all the way to the back of the phone...
My vote still goes to the flip down cover... usability and comfortability for me is my first and primary concern, and that's all that matters to me.
The flip cover has a cutout for the speaker, so you could just leave it closed while taking a call. Granted, it's still uncomfortable to use with it flipped back.
No way... I'd rather prefer having my cheek pressing on the Note's glass surface rather than the cardboard cover itself..
don't you think it's too much awkwardness already? (flipping the cover all the way to the back of the phone and now talking and pressing your cheeks on the hard cover)

Keeps the glass cleaner, IMO.
They are pretty cool, and useful. It's saved my phone a couple times so far.
Got a cool green one for flash and a black one for cash (work) lol...
And the felt backing on the flip cover continuously wipes the screen clean of all fingerprints and such
So i bought the s-view cover for my s4 mini and i really like it!
Its one accesory i actually think is worth buying for 35 euro's
Only thing i miss about it is the fact that you cant customize the s-view area (yet..)
Anyone else here bought the cover? I would like to hear all your thoughts about it
cheers

ROCK Galaxy S4 mini S-View Flip Cover Folio Case
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This case's cover doesn't stay closed unless placed face-down. Same issue with the manufacturer's hard cover case with flip cover as well.
I bought it from a UK seller off eBay for the equivalent of $50...and I'm returning it. The convenience of the window is far outweighed by the annoyance of having to fold it back to hold it comfortably (and even then, still being uncomfortable for one-handed use) - which also causes it to not stay flat later as a result - as well as the fact that it makes the phone a decent amount thicker/bulkier. IMO flip covers work better for tablets, where the weight of the actual cover keeps it down, and the cover can double as a kickstand.
I ordered two slim snap-on cases in its place, and until then, I'm not having any trouble or worry using it without anything - it's such a joy to hold and keep in my pocket compared to the HTC One I had previously.
I personally am using a Mercury Goosperry flip case. It has a magnetic lock to hold the flip cover down.
They're made by a Korean company and comes in many colour combinations.
Could anyone please tell me if the S View flip cover works for the dual sim version GT-I9192 ?
I have found S View covers on ebay but they only refer to the GT-I9190 and GT-I9195 versions.
They should be the same dimensions but its at your own risk!
Will it make the phone bulky..???

hey all...
I am looking for a flip cover with sview feature.
I was going to buy the original one but considering that my girlfriend (the owner of the s4 mini) is not really good in taking care of her stuff, i was looking for a way to protect also the back cover.
I mean: is there something like this: http://www.spigen.com/galaxy-s4-case-flip-mate.html but made for s4 mini?
alternatively, has someone tested a reliable flip cover with sview feature that protects also the back of the phone?
Thanks in advance

When you close the case the S-View notification stays on for about 8 seconds then goes to sleep. If you want to see the time you justs squeeze the bottom over the home button then it comes back on. When you open it it goes straight to the home screen. If some one calls it comes on and displays the name.
Hello folks,
Long-time lurker here and I post before you today with small request - help me help you help me design a better dock!
I'm currently developing a modular multi-device charging stand and the issue I need help with is devices being used with protective cases.
I would be very grateful if you guys could take this quick poll and if you feel like it, provide a little bit of detail about your dock and/or case usage.
The stand is just about ready - I'm just finalising the device dock designs, then it's the initial prototype and if all goes well I will have some
preview models out for an early review (if anyone would like to review one please PM me and I'm sure we can work something out) and I shall post a little showcase here as well.
Many thanks in advance guys and gals!
Hmmm, it seems my Forum-Fu is weak - is there a way to edit a poll? Or would a Mod be kind enough to add two more options to the list?
"Yes. I'm thinking about a dock." and "No. I'm thinking about a dock."
Thanks again!

case save my screen a lot of time
I never use a case on my phone. Hated the thought of taking a nice slim phone and making it bulky. I just never drop it, not that difficult.
Definitely a case is a must for me.I have dropped and bumped my phone 2 or 3 times and the case did the job for me.Without a case I imagine my phone would have been just a broken toy and also by the way even having a good case adds to peace of mind since it adds a little protection value.
Sent from my Xperia Neo V using xda app-developers app
A case is important to me. I work hard for my money and will not take a chance on breaking it. For those that "never" drop their phone, good for you. As far as "ruining" the look of my sleek phone, I couldn't care less about bulk and changing the look of it. I'm not a kid that likes to show off, I'm an older man that uses a phone as a tool, not a show toy. Besides, some cases do actually look good.
Sometimes
I usually use a case when out and about but prefer to take it off whilst at home
Here in Mexico, most phone owners use a case (i.e tpu, silicone, hard plastic) because when don't have insurance plans like you do in U.s. Thus making it cheaper to buy a case ($4 - 8) than to pay for another phone or fix it.

That's OK if you use an easy-off/on case, but some of use those 2 piece hybrids that are a pain to take off and put back on.

Most people I know here in the US don't have insurance on their phones, so having a good case is just as important here as in mexico. Plus, paying $8 a month for insurance is pretty expensive. That's almost $100 a year. No thanks. I'd rather spend $25-35 once for a good heavy duty case and have it for the life of the phone.
I use urban armor gear case. Would be interested in stand for charging multiple devices at once.

I don't one and I wont get one. Just be careful. And it looks ugly tough.
Thanks for all the feedback guys. I've decided, at the risk of fragmentation, I'm going to give buyers the option of either a cased or caseless version of a devices cradle to attach to the dock - it's already going to be tailored to meet individual device needs, I may as well go all the way and offer this too.
As a follow up question:
The stand is currently aiming to support one tablet and one phone charging and displaying on the stand with the possibility of charging 2 extra devices at the same time - one would be resting on the legs of the stand (with small extrusions on the feet to stop the device slipping - this may not be able to fit every device but currently anything ~13cm in length should be fine), and one lying on your desk underneath.
Would people be interested in the option (depending on the size of the base stand) of an additional phone dock in place of a tablet dock? (Or if you're using a larger stand the option of an additional tablet dock? Subject to feasibility of course.)
Many thanks for the replies everyone, I'll be sending the initial design to be 3D printed Monday or Tuesday!
Sometimes the phone can fall to the floor. A simple case of rubber, even pleasant, when you take the phone in hand.
I agree
wolfen69 I think if I had a case like that I would just leave it on. I want a metal case eventually! That would be awesome!
Metal case will protect your device screen when it falls down, but not sensitive sensors, i guess. I'm currently using Samsung S-View case and i am pleased with it. :good:
A case ruins the beauty of my Lumia
But its better to stay safe
Just for the record: I bought my girlfriend some rubber case for her moto g. She bought her phone since it's launch on November and we weren't able to find a case for that model here in Mexico.
She had dropped her phone a couple times without a case, and the phone back got some marks and scratches. Now she had put the case on and dropped her phone in the middle of a street without noticing. When we ran down the street searching for her phone, we found that a car had ran over it, leaving tire marks on the lime green case. To our surprise, both phone and screen were intact, thus, we think a case is the best investment you can do when buying a new phone

I usually don't use a case. It was designed the way it is and should be in the form as is. Unfortunately I use an extended battery and hacked up my original back to my GN2 so I can't even go back to the original feeling of the phone.

Hi all,
Has anyone seen this type of case before for Z3c?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Business-Wal...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item3a973d1fe0
I got one for my Xiaomi and it's so wonderful! I am not a fan of flip cases especially without the sleep/wake feature.
Cheers.
Anyone?
I doubt you can get one like with the Xiaomi. The Z3C is too small, so a case like that would only be able to hold 1 card without blocking the rear camera & flash.
too bad i've been looking for this exact style of case...I had the incipio stash back for my iphone 5 and loved being able to stick my credit card debit and ID for going out. Now that I have this phone i forget my wallet constantly as I was super used to not having the lug it around haha.
You could also add a card holder to the back of your case like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Choize-Silicone-Adhesive-Sticker-Samsung/dp/B00N2FS0MU
I think you can find them much cheaper than the link though. I get them free a lot as company schwag at events. Works great.

Hi,
I'm in the process of deciding which case to buy for my new V20. I'm tempted by LG's official Quick Cover flip case as LG state you are able to answer calls from the second screen while the case is closed which appeals. However it only has 2 reviews on Amazon and they aren't favourable (e.g. the volume buttons are obscured by the cases hinge).
My question is this though - is this 2nd screen call answering feature unique to LG's case? I can't see how it could be (unless for example the case has some built in rfid tag detected by the V20's NFC), but I saw a comment on the forum about a similar case (VOIA CleanUP) mentioning that the 2nd screen features were no different with the case on to with it off.
Anyone have any info on this?
Thanks,
James

I have the CleanUp case. Yes it works when the case is closed and a call there is a small slider in the widow one way to take call one way to reject. Red green icons very easy to use. I like it better than the circles when the case is open. It is only comes up when the case is closed, when open the huge screen with circles appears.
For the volume buttons I am forcing myself to use them with the case closed and its getting easier by the day as my fingers remember where it is. Easy to push just a bit hard to find. I have been thinking of drilling a little hole between the two volume buttons on the hinge so I have a better idea of the button location when feeling for them.
Overall a very sharp case with a few compliments. lux look and feel but you will need to train yourself to use the finger print sensor while opening the phone.
Thanks both for the replies - very helpful. I'll probably purchase either the CleanUp or Nillkin case
