I agree they are overpriced though, I've seen these stelts for only a little over a 100 grand...
Mouarf !!!!!!
LOOOL!!!!!
I saw those in the 'things you may have forgotten to add to your basket' section when I bought my aluminium front case from them Unfortunately the case was just too big, due to it being a bit loose fitting, so I swapped it for a Tuff-Luv case from i-Nique
i love such little gimmicks, that is why i wanted to post them

Hi,
As Aussiebum for metallic covers, I just find out this website on XDA.
>>> www.more-thing.com <<<
More. is a chinese brand located in Hong-Kong. This could be a bit frightening for some people but however, there products looked nice and I was looking for a new case since I got bored of my ebay stuff (12$).
Too big, too thick, too large... not really practical. (That's what she said )
Let's get back to "More."
They have two types of cases : leather and metallic.
(Here all the blackstone stuff)
The price for both is around 30$.
I asked for a leather Buffalo Collection. They send really quickly, impressive !
When you receive it, you really get impressed by the packaging.
Trully neat and when you just threw 30 bucks... appreciate that.
The case itself has fine finish. No strange seam & perfect cut.
One problem : it smells like hell some chemical dye thing... It has been in my pocket for a day and still strongly smells. It's not really a disgusting smell, it's between "new product's" smell and tannery's smell... Hope you see what I mean.
All inside the case, some "fur-like" soft matter protects the phone. I think it also wipes the screen... so, I like it !
Phone looks quite safe in it !
The phone fits perfectly, doesn't move at all.
= great case despite the lack of originality
Positiv points :
Nice finish
"Fur-like" inside is really awesome
Has style
Not really expensive
Negativ points :
Smells like hell
Not enough choices for the cases
Lack of originality
Just saw your review after placing my order. Kinda bought it on impulse hope I don't regret it. Can post more pictures? How many days did it take to arrive and which country you from? I chose the more expensive delivery method. Will I be able to use invisible shield together with this case?
Thank you very much...
I was afraid of more. being some kind of fake company. So i'll order right away!
Guys i bought a buffalo case too after looking at the TS review. However there was a defect in my case and I am very displeased. Thus wrote them a letter. My letter is shown in this post, and their response will be updated there. To those contemplating buying this case, I would advise you to hold on for a while and look forward to their response. My post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533214
how about the metalics case anyone tried it??
edit: click the top post aussiebum..
After looking for a case endlessly and having to protect it somehow from scratches.. I made a little case for my G Tablet. If I had a sewing machine it would look a lot cleaner. But, I had to sew by hand which I am very bad at.
Overall this case is working perfect for me!
In case you're interested.. Here is how I did it:
I bought a folder "Padfolio" from my local CVS.
Since I cannot post a link at this time. Just go to CVS website and search for
" Mead - Padfolio, 12-1/2 X 9-1/2-Inches " you'll see the folder I used.
Then I cut it down to size. I had to cut about 1" on the sides and top off.
After you cut it, trim the cardboard filler that is in the middle about 1/8 of an inch. Then sew it shut!
I used velcro to attach the tablet to the folder and it has held very nicely and firm. I bought "Scotch " brand velcro at Autozone, but I have seen it at Home Depot and Radio Shack as well.
I used a little piece from the left overs I cut out and made that little flap to keep the case closed. (I used velcro to attach it to the case, again it is holding very well.)
So there it goes. With a little patience and time and hopefully access to a sewing machine you can make your own!
Hope you enjoyed
P.S. I couldn't fix the title of post lol its DIY not DYI

Thanks for sharing,
But starting with a $15 folder + adding time + resources + skills .. don't you agree that spending $20 for tested and proven amazon case is a more viable option.
Just my 2 cents.
Yeah I'm going to check out that one from Amazon. After seeing the pics, I don't like how that one closes with the G Tablet. It seems kind of forced.
I also like the USB Keyboard combination case that's customized for the G Tablet. I ordered one of those for $25
real leather case

I did something similar.......researched the dodocase for the ipad initially, then found a website (Google..make you own ipad case) on how to make a case..purchased a nice piece of sheepskin leather, binder board, Pva glue, and liner paper...made a custom case....still not exactly what I want though.. now looking a more rustic Buffalo leather for anothet attempt,I want a case similar to the product Renaissance Art makes

I too am a case maker. Curious how your attaching your tablets to the case. I've tried tubibg to make clips, elastic on the corners and even embedded neodyiums in the tablet sides. Haven't decided which way to go long term yet, but trying new ideas is where I have most of my fun
I just found this on amazon and bought one for myself. Looks like it will hold the Transformer and Dock perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Che...EM/ref=sr_1_59?ie=UTF8&qid=1316128965&sr=8-59
Only $0.01 with $4.99 Shipping (3-5 days)
Dont know how long the price is good for, better get one quick!
edit: It sure looks like polyurethane, but I guess their description says it has a "canvas like" stylish exterior. Not PU Leather like i assumed.
Update: Just got it in the mail. Took about a week or so, not too bad. However I can't say the same for the case. In my opinion its total crap.
The material on the outside of the case is anyones guess. It looks and feels like a combination of canvas and polyurethane faux leather. The whole thing is monstrous, measuring in at 12" wide x 11" long x 1" thick (when compressed and empty) You can only fit the Transformer in the case in one direction because of the velcro placement. Once you get your tablet inside the case it does feel like it would be very safe. The extra 2-3 inches of fabric hanging from either side of the device adds some extra protection but also makes the whole thing absurdly large. And to top it off the whole thing smells very strongly of DRY ERASE MARKERS!
All said and done 5 bucks was overpaying for this. They probably have them marked so low because nobody buys them. But if you absolutely need a case and your local Value Village Thrift doesnt have something better, give it a try. Just make sure to wash it first.
P.S. Im not going to bother putting up any pictures unless you guys really want them. Im hoping to pawn this thing off on one of my brothers if I'm lucky.
Pretty cheap, but it kinda ugly and seems like it would be a hassle getting you tablet in and out.
Are those flaps supposed to hold papers or something? I'm trying to imagine bringing my tablet into the office and trying to "unpack" it from that case. Seems a little bulky from the pictures.
What holds it closed? I don't get it? A magnet? It does seem ugly and might an indication why it's so cheap.

Looks like a closer look at one of the pics reveals the answer: Velcro. I thought they were pockets for papers or something but they are strips of velcro, which must be what holds it shut.
Looks like a decent case for travel and storage.
When I bought my HTC Advantage 4 1/2 years ago there was no decent case for it anywhere - like the Note it has a large screen (5") and unlike the Note a very large body. I found Nutshell (a.k.a. Tough-as-Nuts) and their line of cases - built like tanks, literally with gun holster components including heavy leather and heavy-duty belt clips. We had a long discussion about it here, including pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344605 . It ended up being the only case most XDA members bought.
Fast forward to today, now that I have my Note on pre-order my first stop was to check out the Nutshell offering for the Note. This is the one I found:
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-belt-case.aspx
I also happened to find an old post offering a discount, which I didn't know about when I ordered my other case. This offer may not even be valid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259275
I haven't ordered the case yet, I want to see how well the Note fits into my Advantage case first - it will fit the height and width but the Advantage case may be too roomy for the thickness since it is twice as thick as the Note. If I do order one I'll report back here with pics and a fresh review.
Edited 4/12. Case arrived today, ordered on March 26th (I used the "tuff02" 10% discount code mentioned below). Just as well-built as my old case, even stronger because they now build in something flat and hard into the back wall. By putting the phone into the case with the screen facing inward the screen will be fully protected. I ordered the pen loop option this time. I always carried one inside my last case but that phone was so thick there was room next to it. As I figured, there isn't enough room for a pen next to the Note - too thin. I'm not complaining.
In the last picture you can see a bump under the leather below the metal clip. That, along with the lower lip of the clip, keeps it on your belt no matter what you do.
I'm still looking for a case for mine and came across your post; thank you for sharing. I'm still gonna do some more looking, but this one is now on my list as a possibility (that is if they take them off hold and actually start making them).
FYI...
I tried the coupon code "tuff01" in the thread you linked to and it showed up 5% savings. For the heck of it I tried punching in "tuff02" and it shows 10% savings.

Sweet! I'll be sure to use that.
This case is awesome. I also got one for my MDA, still looks like new.
Quick update, I noticed they removed their placeholder page for the Note case (the 2nd link in my 1st post above). I've emailed them to find out which of their cases would be best. I looked at this chart to match up to the Note's specs (146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65mm):
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/beltcasessizetable.aspx
At first glance their case #215 would work - it appears to be the right length and width, but it has twice the depth as it should for the Note so it would flop around. Then I noticed case 270 right above it is the very one I already have for my Advantage and I already know that case is the right height, but too wide and again way too much depth. So that would mean 215 would be too long! I'm not spending $60 and waiting 2 weeks to find out it won't hold the phone securely. If I hear back from them I'll report back.
I am currently using a NutShell case I got as a freebee back at one of the PPC expos it is a very good fit (I do have the Samsung flip cover on it). The design is their basic case with the notched corners and no clip (leather slip panel the belt goes thru)
Cheers

I received a reply from the company:
Almost there
Still awaiting final asset approval.
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-belt-case.aspx
So the placeholder page is back, and it says they are taking preorders if you are interested. I may make an order today.
Thanks for the info, techntrek. Please post if you hear anything. I'm a former (heck I still have it) Advantage owner looking into the note now, and one of the first things I'm looking at is a belt case like I used to love back then!
- I also sent you a pm. Interested in comparisons for former Advantage users to compare against the Note.
I had an Advantage. What questions do you have?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Thanks for the reply, but too late - I bought the Note a week ago. Loving it except for battery life problems (which I'm researching again now!)
Yup, we had a nice conversation comparing the Advantage to the Note.
Glad to hear you got one.
BTW it looks like this case is now available. Getting ready to order, using the "tuff02" discount code.
Just ordered, may take up to 2 weeks for delivery.
I've been wearing my phone on my belt for more years then I can remember - but since I had nothing for the Note up front, I've been carrying it loose in my pocket (with screen protector & ultra-slim bumper case) for a week.
..and I might stay this way for a while. I was always catching my case on things before. I was also hoping the vibration would be easy to feel in the pocket, but this past weekend proved the vibration isn't strong enough.
Might switch back to a belt pouch later, but going to stick with this way for a while & see. Be sure to post reviews of the Tuff case when you get it!
Ditto, I've been trying it in the pocket for the last 5 1/2 weeks, also hoping I could get away from the pouch. But it was always hard getting it out, so I'm back to a pouch. I agree it is surprisingly hard to feel the thing vibrate even when its sitting right on your leg.
Updated post #2 with a full review, including pictures.
Two things I would change so far. I never used the D-ring on my old case, and never will on this one. I should have asked them to leave it off. Looks like it will be easy to remove with a razor blade.
I'm glad I got the pen holder/loop, but I should have asked them to put it on the BACK edge, and since I always wear it on my right hip, to put it on the side that faces rear (the right side as you face the back).
Some things for you to consider if you order one.
Nut case for Galaxy Note
This is my 2nd tuff-as-nuts case. My first outlived all of my 3 iPhones. It is still in almost new condition in my drawer. This is the nicest hip holster I have found. I have tried several. The clip will never break. The fit is very snug for the first week or so and then it loosens up. I am very happy with this case ever though it is expensive. I got chocolate leather with belt clip and full magnetic flap.

Thanks for valuable info re: cases w/beltclips - will the phone fit with the candy shell over it??
The fit is VERY tight with no cover. They design to the factory specs and go slightly smaller, counting on the leather to stretch a little.
They will make custom versions for a small extra charge, or you could compare all of their models by size (look for the link on the left side of their home page) and pick one that is slightly larger. The one they originally made for the Advantage is probably the one you'll need. If there is any wild chance you live in central MD you could try my old case and buy it from me if it works.

So after reading many bad reviews i give a try and i bought Love Mei case.
Im very impressed. Yes, case is really big and a little heavy but i like it. I don't like skinny cases so for me its a plus. Another pros. is awesome looking and color. I choose yellow and its really deep and high visibility.
If you don't know its metal case with good quality rubber.
Screen is very sensitive and feel much much better then every screen or case i ever used on G3 or other phones. Its awesome, i would like to be all day on phone because touch is awesome smooth and nice.
What isn't true what you can read everywhere :
Sound quality - you can find many reviews about poor sound / voice quality or mic/speaker. Its not true.
Sound is like without case if not better :0
Poor quality material - another BS. This case is very high quality, nice rubber and metal. Screws are like screws, small and easy to unscrew.
Signal strength - i don't notice any signal change. For better or worst i have the same signal strength. Its another BS
What i think is people bought this case from amazon or other wired store and they get fake/damaged case because even otterbox defender which i had lasts months can lick love mei "screws". Now i feel like Otterbox is low quality and everything what you can read about love mei.
Or 2nd option is somebody doesn't want lost costumer like very popular and liked otterbox, describing love mei as worst ever made case.
Thanks God i bought Love Mei and threw out cheap otterbox.
I prefer buy from love mei store or good eBay seller. I know amazon can sell fake products. I get shocked when i bought RayBan sunglasses. I checked amazon reviews and found pictures compared fake from Amazon and original from RayBan store. On pic. My ( also from RayBan store) were looks like his original and fake just like wow. After that i change mind and i try buy from manufacture / original store or good eBay seller with return.
Love Mei case I buy from http://www.ebay.com/usr/sports_outlet13?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754
Received a day before estimated if you wander
But i found 2 cons. First is small which doesn't bother and don't care but you should know about it. Im too lazy now to make a picture (maybe later) but i found on YT Its here https://youtu.be/87WF8bWEYZY?t=6m32s
Can you see horizontal metal piece between screen and speaker/camera, etc? Is not glued well. I thought its just his/manufacture or something but i have similar on my case so if you decide to buy you should expect it.
2nd is or was a bigger problem. This piece on top right https://youtu.be/87WF8bWEYZY?t=6m5s is very easy to remove/lost even if you dont touch it. Today i had to unscrew 2 times and put it back. So it can be a problem but i think i found a solution. First time i didn't put correctly in place because now is very hard to remove even if i try. Ill update review if ill have same problem or was my fault.
If you like love mei case go for it.
Update:
So after few weeks of usage i can change my mind only for let say "hearing me" so microphone.
My g-f is already pis off on me and my case because she have to press her phone into ear to hear me. Idk why only she complain. but im ready to buy another new case im so sad because its the best case, for me most perfect for bulk,protection and weight, looking, feeling, etc. Just the best. And my g-f is #1 for me not the case ill miss you love mei case ;;;(
You didn't link to the case.
hahaha the follow up is great good review i was thinking of buying one but gone with the zero lemon as i need more juice!
I'm really hang on between the love mei and otterbox,normally I'm more interested in otterbox,yet seems there don't have some improvement on their design and it may make my G3 a vintage one which seems like a 2010 phone,meanwhile,I'm also stop the forward to lovemei for someone don't think highly of them with some reasons say the huge size,effect signal,too heavy,even some doubt on their workmanship etc.,however,if purchased from amazon or bad eBay seller not included on this issue.Anyway,now I'm relax to purchase directly from lovemeicases.com and thanks for your review again!
Tried that case and it's a bloody brick xD. It's so big and heavy I can't see someone putting it in their pants pocket. Though I found one nice pro: it's a very good self defence weapon. I bet you can actually kill someone with it xD.
Steadily deteriorating performance on my LG4 while in the Love Mei case.
Problem went away immediately when phone removed from case.
RE-casing today(8-JUN-2016) and will report back.
