So I got this case http://goo.gl/o5bKDZ and I'm very pleased with the front cover, however I'm not to fond of the textile feeeling back (battery)door part. So I'm wondering if there are any flip door cases wich still got the original rubbery gripping texture left or is there none to find?
I think there all the same my friend. I got the royal blue one and it has the same textured back
Hmm that's to bad, might have to build something myself XD.

You guys should try this case too. (Incipio Feather case) I spent like 3 days searching for the perfect case for my captivate (from silicone case to leather pouch) and this one has by far the best quality and look, not to mention about the extreme thinness. Got it this afternoon and fits perfect to the phone and looks great as in the picture. The only draw back is that it doesn't cover the front side, but I can live with that.
I loved that case with my iphone, it's crazy light and thin. The only problem I had on my iphone is all I could get was white and it got nasty dirty in a week, so I would advise against white

Is it made of the soft rubber like material that gathers dust?
it's made of plastic, but looks like it's mixed w/ some sort of rubber or soft material because it's got that little bit of soft touch. (maybe that's why it's more flexible too) So far it doesn't gather any dust like some silicone cases do, but i will have to see more since i just got it today.
i wish they had more colors. Black phones get lost in the void that is my purse.

Ebay captivate incipio and they have the exact same case but in pink (but its called magenta)
From the eBay description: "With a convenient two-part sliding design, the EDGE™ embodies innovative cases focused on accessibility. Simply remove the bottom cap to dock your device in most any docking station for quick and easy charging."
I have a home dock I put the phone in every night. This is the main reason I stopped using a case. How does this design work with the Samsung dock? I can't tell from the pictures and I'm not willing to risk $25 to find out.

Not sure if you realize but the EDGE is a different case than the Feather, which is what the OP got. Again, sorry if you knew that. Just thought you might not realize.

I thought so, but the one I was looking at on eBay (that I took that quote from) matched the one in the pic the OP posted.
Just wondering if this slides on like a silicone case or if it clips on like other hard plastic cases, is it hard plastic or like a hard silicone?
Any way you could take a picture, the incipio site doesn't really show anything to great about it?
Does it fit tight?
How does it hook on?
Even though I'm a dude I'm tempted to get the "Magenta" one just to spruce up my phone haha.
Is it hard to get on and off? I need to replace my battery once a day.
The Feather is 1 piece that snaps on, and from the pictures, it looks like it only hugs the corners. The EDGE is a 2 piece snap on case.
*taken from http://www.myincipio.com/
Does anyone have any photos of this case from the top or sides? I can't find any real world or manufacturer pics of that.
that looks nice
it doesn't cover the edges and by the looks of it, it only protects the back and if you place it face down it won't lift the phone off the surface any
It looks nice but it doesn't protect anything. The corners and front have no protection. With my experience when you drop a phone the corners get messed up
I ordered this case for my wife:
http://cgi.ebay.com/SILVER-BLACK-FL...461939?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4156763633
It came in and it fits perfectly, its slightly rubberized feeling so its grippy and its slim. I tested it and it works in a pocket without sticking to the pocket liner.
The nicest thing I like is that the graphics are several layers deep, giving it an interesting depth to it. Ill try to take some pics with my Tbolt of her Tbolt in the case.
Not bad for 6 bucks. The only drawback I noticed but she does not care about is that some of the graphics of the front and back piece do not line up perfectly on the seam.
I also ordered her another similar case but more flowery. Ill post when that comes in.
I bought a solid black one from the same seller. It is a nice case for the price. Looks good and appears to be good quality. Only time will tell if it begins to peel.
Here's a few pictures of the case.
im so torn over whether to use a case on this or not. if it had gorilla glass i wouldnt care.
Being a 2 piece case, how well does it hold together from a fall? If it landed on its edge is it going to pop open?
Hard to tell. I don't want to drop it and test it for obvious reasons.
But it does snap together pretty well and its not terribly easy to open it back up and take it off.
Here are a few pictures of the second case I ordered for her from Amazon. This one looks even better than the other. And it snaps the same, front/back, but it feels a little less sturdy. It does not snap as strongly as the other.
possible to get a pic of the two pieces separately?
how is the power button? easy to push?
Which "finish'' are these cases? I see there are a different ones listed.

Here are two pics of the two pieces of the case.
Power button opening is quite large so my entire thumb pad fits well and the button is not obstructed at all.
I have no idea on name for finish, they are rubberized plastic. So they are grippy on the outside and won't slip. But they are smooth plastic on the inside. Also, its not grippy to where it clings to pocket liners, its fine in my jeans and in my khakis and suit for work.
I just need to find one I like for myself now. Maybe something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-ThunderBolt-Incredible-Rubberized-Shield/dp/B004LSYEC2/ref=pd_rhf_shvl_32
or this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ABSTRACT-ART-RF-CASE-HTC-THUNDERBOLT-4G-CHARGER-/230598620069
Also, some people praise TPU cases, what s TPU? Plastic or the jelly kind?
man that case on ebay is vibrant! I went for the hard/rubberized case from the same seller. figure if i dont like it or it beaks after a few months im only out 6$
as long as it can stand falling off my lap when i stand up im good.

Very nice case indeed
TPU (or Thermoplastic polyurethane) is like silicone, except much sturdier and glossier. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_polyurethane
I got the shell/holster combo from VZW and I love it. It is slim and grippy.
Ordered my case yesterday. Got it today. That person don't mess around. Damn good case for the price too. I got the rubberized black one. Had to graba Sharpe and mark the inside edges black, cause they were showing white when clipped together.
This thing will stay together for a few falls. Can't beat it for this price.

Cool. Can you take some pictures? I went ahead and got the dark red/burgundy one. Ill get the arty/colorful one when it drops in price a tad.
1st complaint
I removed the case for the first time today. I used a penny in the access slot on te side and it chipped away some of the black. I had to use a sharpie to fill it in so it wouldnt be so obvious.
i have found this case at ebay for galaxy note and would like to hear your oppinion about it? maybe anyone has it and can leave some feedback
ebay link http://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Cas...ccessories&hash=item3371580d09#ht_5270wt_1270
I have the brown one and it looks elegant but mine doesn't fit well. I mean, I can hear some squeaking when I press on both sides and honestly it bothers me sometimes. I don't know if it's just mine though. The texture feels great and it protects the four corners of the phone, which in my opinion are the areas most likely to hit the ground first if you drop them. It's not stitched and I feel that overtime the sides might separate. I have not tried the free screen protector because I'm not into screen protectors at all. I just really like feeling the glass when I swipe, lol.
I've got a black one, really nice quality
was half the price of the samsung cover (well in New Zealand anyway...)
and much nicer, covers the back perfectly and protects from drops all around and looks really stylish. No magnets or clips to haggle with for flipping the cover.
Its true its not stitched around the corners which gives in a potential to separate, but it seems like a very thick kind of rubber type sealant edging, not cheap superglue type stuff, so very flexible and shouldnt seperate unless you bend it in ways it shouldnt go.
I've had mine for a couple of months and stick it in my pocket everyday, flip the cover over fully to the otherside all the time for holding/calling, got a nice felt material inside on the screen side of the cover, plastic holder for the phone but holds the phone very well but you can still get the phone out easily if needed.
The cover sits perfectly flat on the phone (standard back cover on my phone probably wont fit one of those non-oem aluminium covers which are slightly thincker I believe)
Arrived in a couple of weeks from an ebay seller in Hong Kong I think..
I recommend it! and hey, its only a few bucks so no big loss if its not your exact preference
thank you guys for very well-explained feedback samsung original flip cover cost same price as this cover, so i prefer buying this verus cover instead samsung flip
Dude, I too have this.. I'd say I am happy with it.. but then, have you had a look at Zenus GALAXY NOTE MASSTIGE BLOCK FOLIO ?? This one has a stand too.. and almost for same price..
My Verus has the "squeaking sound when I press on both sides"

If you mean if the front cover can easily flip to the back of the note I'd say yes and you could actually squeeze it flat not like the free flip cover that it leaves an extra front cover out the side so you can't really hold it flat comfortably. Also, the logo in the flip cover leaves a mark on the screen, but not really a biggy. It's either dirt or moisture because of the concavity, I'm not really sure. You can wipe it off easily though. I have mine for just a couple of weeks so maybe that'll disappear over time. And I agree, it's a good case for the price and you won't regret getting it.
I've attached some pictures for reference.
And a few more.

thank you very much
Hey all, I have an n7000 and have had it a while, the problem is that the flip case is looking a little beat up and a slight tear is forming, I don't really want the flip part on any more but I can't find my original back and currently I lack the funds to buy a new case.
Is there some way of removing the leather flip case and keeping the back? Should I cut the leather flip off or can it be removed from the actual back itself?
Any ideas would be awesome, thanks!

I ve just separated by my hands. But the back cover you got may results slight different from the original due to its side gap from where the leather should be . Not a big issue and barely noticeable. Well it just works for me. Hth !
The original flip case is extremely low quality.
Just tear off the leather and get a case or something. They are pretty cheap.
Hey everyone.
Im looking for an accesory for my SGS3. I want to replace the plastic back cover with another one made from a different material, like leather if possible. Something like the back of the new Nexus 5 or the new back cover of the Note 3. Something that feels better to the touch and that is easier to hold and doesn't feel slippery when your hands have sweat.
Does anyone have any ideas? Has anyone replace their back cover with something different?
Suggestions?
Or maybe install something on top of the back. Another solution would be a case that protects the full phone.
Thanks.
There are vinyl skins available.
Search this forum for info.. :thumbup:
I had the same need. The standard back was too slippery. I tried various and then found one called the Incipio Feather. It's a very thin case which clips on and has a rubberised feel (a bit like the back of my old HTC Desire). You hardly notice its there, but it is a big improvement over the standard back.
On amazon UK its there for £5.99...
Just try glueing leather
