Got my M1 case and I really like it, fits nice, the stands sits at the perfect viewing angle and it looks good too.
I only have 1 issue with it and wanted some input from you fellow M1 case owners..
My issue is the little part the goes next to the 4 soft keys on the right side (in landscape mode) that little piece of leather doesnt seem to want to sit down, so it sits kinda elevated and it covers the soft keys ever so slightly....
So I'm wondering if this will settle in, being that its leather... or if you guys trim it a little for easier access to the soft keys? Thanks!
I wish I had the answer for that. However, the m1 case is synthetic leather so I don't know if it would settle or not.
On my M1 case that little strip next to the soft keys does lay pretty flat already. The only part of the case that kind of puckers up is the top edge (in landscape mode) around the camera.

Did it always lay flat or only after it broke in?
The strip next to the soft keys pretty much layed flat from the beginning. It didn't need to break in. I'm hoping the strip along the top lays flat after some breaking in time.

Hi all,
bought this case for the sony tablet and it finally arrived this morning.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Ge...3I4W/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1319289005&sr=8-1
I have not had a chance to go out with it yet, but first impressions are it is very well made with nice white stiching around the edges.
What I love about it is the fact you do not have to stick anything on the tablet it slips in and there is a fold to hold it in place.
It feels secure and safe and comes with an elastic which allows you to close it shut, or I use it to put my hand though to hold it better.
It also has space or 2 SD cards in the back, again a great idea to carry extra cards (might have to buy another 32gig card!)
when open and lying flat it seems to straighten out the folded design, so sits flat which worried me initially, but then found a way to sit it on the flap, and so you got more of an angle and the lap was protecting the smooth felt like material inside from any dirt on the surface.

Does the ir remote work when it is in the case?

There is small hole on the case which perfectly aligns with the small hole on the tablet so I thought it would work, but just tried and it did not, unfortunately.
Although you can just unfold the small flap and then it was fine. A shame really, but it could be the devices i'm using, or maybe the hole needs to be cut a bit bigger...?
is it very thick when close lying down on the table?? n with the case does it weight a lot heavier?
Thank you for the post.

It does feel heavier, but not that heavy and I think knowing it's protected counters that...
as for the size, it is bulkier by about 1cm overall but again, the protection it provides does not put me off it.
Just the other day I took it out of my bag and had three marks on the cover where it's plug was pressing down on it.. luckily the leather took it all and no damage to screen.
that's mine

I just bought one of those, nice to know it works well.
Are you able to plug-in the power while the case is closed? Can't tell if there is enough space or not.
How comfortable is it to type when the tablet is at the last spot? Is it still too angled or comfortable?
I also own this case, the quality is pretty good, the only thing that I don't like is that - for me - it opens to the wrong side.
The Tablet S is designed to be held on the thick side of the wedge, so you have to open the flap to the right side. When you do so (and you can see it on the embossed Navitech logo on the flap) you basicly have to hold the case upside down. Otherwise it's great.
@fluxman: Yes, you can use the charger whit the closed case.
Seems like a pretty good case. Thanks for the review! I wonder if you could just widen the pin hole with a pencil or something.

Alright, The case the box came is in is kind of girly, anyways the quality of the case is amazing! It doesn't feel like it was cheaply made at all. It doesn't add too much bulk and I can still fit it in my skinnys(Levi's 511 Skinny 29 x 30) front pocket. The buttons are easily accessible even the the volume button being covered by the front flap it is still easy to press / locate since the case has a steep cut out for the volume buttons. Aswell as the S-Pen being so easily accessible. An added perk i liked about this case is that the speaker hole is actually covered by its own mesh. It also has an accessory hole so you could attach an accessory / lanyard to it. The Magnetized kick stand does not interfere with signal(atleast none i can tell).

Zenus cases are the best I've seen so far for the Galaxy Note. I was thinking of getting this one as well but the color combinations just don't do it for me. Also, there's not cutout for the front speaker so it would be a little awkward to have to hold the front leather part back every time. I like that the case clips onto the metal part on the side and doesn't rest on the top of the phone so that a screen guard will thankfully be left untouched. I also love that it has a stand (The only reason I'm not getting the Zenus Masstige Stripe Case). I was wondering though, when the stand is set up, does the little latch (idk what it's called lol, the little thing used to clip on to the front cover to close the case) hide a little part of the screen since presumably, it'll be hanging down a little bit?
EDIT: Ordered it lol. It may have its flaws but it's the best I could find at its price range.
I have one of these (different colors, but this color looks great).
They are extremely high quality. As good or better than Vaja, for instance.
I've posted this before, that make sure you pay more and get the leather ones, as they have a few lines and some of the lines aren't as good quality.
This particular case is just great. The flap is a tad annoying but well worth it overall.
Note: one thing worth mentioning is that they are very light also.
would it be okay to use this case with a FULL skin applied? Ie. sides and back??
i'm sure the front would be okay, but just wanted to see if the sides of the phone with skin be okay.....
i've been looking at cases that have the flip cover, but they all look like it would peel off the side skins..... this one looks like it like it might be okay.

Hmmm...that's a tricky one. Obviously, it clips in tightly and securely so it might damage the skin during insertion and removal but once it's sitting in there, as long as you don't constantly remove it, it should be fine. I would recommend going to a store and testing out either this case or similar leather cases, but then again, if you harm the skin in the process, then this whole discussion is useless lol. On another note, why use a skin? The note is such a beautiful sleek beast. I wouldn't want to hide away any of the sides or take away from the beautiful protruding glass. That's why I hate my current Capdase Jacket XPose and am going for this case. Just increases the beauty XD. Anyways, yes, back on topic, I wouldn't recommend using a skin with this cover but hopefully someone who's actually tried it will reply.
Side-note: I ordered the Wine-Red / Dark Brown version

Here's a Flip case that would most likely not interrupt your skin.

These Zenus cases look great and seem very usable. But the downside is that they have a magnet at the back that interferes with S-pen functions (not with the signal). Check in the screen area in front of the magnet by trying to draw several long thin lines with the SPen that cross this area. That case was a money waste for me...

I got these symptoms after a couple of days usage. I contacted the dealer and got a substitute with Capsule Stand Slide Series - White / Lime
When I got my Note off CL came with the Eel leather case. It's slick but I wish it was the capsule.

I found this review of the Nilkin case for the Xperia P helpful, and wanted to give back by posting a review of my own. Had been pretty keen on the Nilkin case myself, but after reading the reports of the corners cracking, I went looking for another quality option and ended up with a Rock Quicksand. This is a "dark grey" model I bought from Casesss.com.
Note the white specks that appear on the case are bits of dust/fluff that aren't part of the case surface - sorry for overlooking these but they didn't look that visible while taking the pics, and it'd be too much of a pain setting up my tripod and lighting again to redo them nicely with my crappy camera. Also note the pics convey a sort of "white speckliness" overall which is not how it looks in person - IMO, the case looks better than it appears in the pics.
First, the positives:
- The material is really nice. It looks and feels classier than silicone or textured plastic.
- With moist/sweaty hands, the case provides more grip than the smooth metal surfaces of the phone.
- It allows the phone to sit more securely on your lap or a nearby surface (e.g. train/bus seat) with less fear of it sliding off and onto the floor.
- The cutouts are accurate, and there's plenty of clearance left around the headphone jack.
And the cons/caveats:
- With dry fingers, the material is actually less grippy than the phone's smooth metal surfaces.
- Some reviews of Rock Quicksand cases for other phones suggested the material doesn't grip pocket liners - I disagree. It's not a problem with big/loose pockets on cotton pants, but in more constricted front jeans pockets, it will tend to pull out the pocket liner when removing the phone. Still, it's not as bad as silicone in this respect, and doesn't retain nearly as much fluff/dust as silicone.
- The cutout for the transparent bar is much smaller than one on the Nilkin case. This probably increases the case's strength but doesn't look as cool.
- The buttons are a bit harder to press than without the case, but this seems unavoidable - the cutouts appear as non-intrusive as is possible for this style of case.
Overall, I'm very happy with the case for the purpose of providing extra grip in the situations I most need it and providing some protection, without making the phone look ugly. Would be happy to answer any questions in case I missed anything.
I am also using this product. Very good case.

The thin band over the camera volume keys power sim speaker.. tend to brake soon... that's the only thing i don't like... and its very often due to the case's rigid body..
Else i highly recommend it... I am currently using an Soft Silicon-Jelly Case.. for an local manufacture..

Screenies please?
Following up with something I just observed today: at the bottom right corner, the "sand" material has rubbed off, leaving a shiny surface. I've been using the case for about a month and I'm not sure when this occurred. That corner isn't exposed to repeated friction against anything, so it seems as though a one-off contact with something probably caused it.

I use this case and this appears to be a problem that arises over time. I keep my phone in my pocket and over two months the edges have lost a lot of sand coating. It doesn't affect the usability of the case but can look pretty ugly. I can't take a photo now but will post one soon.
Another notable thing about this case is that if you have a creaky bottom cap from removing the cap too much, this case will hold the cap securely in place and stop the creaking.
EDIT: Here are some photos of the quicksand peeling. The lighting isn't great but you can see it clearly enough.

uhm very bad....did you go tu the beach or something???
I used to use this case and yes, it's beautiful at first but after a long time of using, it become ugly and i must change another one =.=
i wish i can find one of those in Egypt ,
I also got one of this case but mine is purple and the rubber of some place on the casing have lost but between it's a nice case I'm happy with it.
After just over three months use, I can report the "sand" has now rubbed off the rear corner adjacent to the one I pictured on the previous page (that one hasn't gotten any worse since the picture was taken). The three other front corners also show the same sort of wear, but smaller. The edges and larger surfaces show no signs of wear.
In my case, it seems most likely the wear is being caused simply by the phone rubbing against the pocket liner when in my jeans/jacket pocket, so it's not a very durable surface. With just the corners worn, mine still looks classier overall than other cases and I'd just as soon choose it again over the alternatives, but I can't recommend it to those whose phones are treated less softly than mine, as it may end up looking like crap in a short period.
Very usefull case it is..:good: protects the device very well....
I have a quicksand case for my Xperia Sola. I just got it a few months back and so far I'm quite happy with it. The overall build quality seems to be very robust. However on two corners the rubber starts to come off, but that doesn't really bother me as long my phone is save
i haven't use case for a yeah and now my XP look like old phone :cyclops:
is the available for xperia go?

Hello Android fans,
I'm a new user to the Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 from T-Mobile (SGH-T779), and I wanted to discuss my case and screen protectors of choice I like.
First of all, my screen protector of choice in most cases is usually Zagg's invisibleShield, because it works REALLY well, most of the time. I say most of the time for reasons not related to this situation. I have a Galaxy Note 2 as well with a wallet case that presses against the screen, Zagg's plastic technology doesn't work so well for it in that kind of situation.
Otherwise, my Tab 2 has a nice wet-applied Zagg invisibleShield HD screen on it, and it's plain awesome. There's no quality loss in the screen, it doesn't scratch very easily and doesn't collect a whole lot of fingerprints. It does collect them, but easily wiped off with a simple cloth.
My case I'm using, though it's not /perfect/, it's just currently the best I could personally find at the time.
It's the RooCase RC-GALX10TAB2-DA-BK Dual-Axis leather folio case. Basically it works using a 2-piece assembly. The main part holds the case in a nice felt-feeling case, so you can hold it, without the outer case, in a night light package. The outer case has velcro to hold the inner part to it so you can rotate it by sticking it to the velcro. This allows it to be in landscape or portrait mode very nicely, and it doesn't fall over when in portrait mode like a lot of the other dual-axis folios seem to have a problem with. It does use a low-powered magnet on the front of the inner case to the outer inner case so it snugs together when closed.
The only downsides are, so far:
The stylus/pen holder is on the outside edge of the outer case, so it sticks out like a soar thumb, and can easily be knocked out.
The case has no hole on the bottom side for the 30-pin connector, though this issue can be kind of gotten around by simply rotating the tablet to its side, or completely upside down, thanks to full auto-rotation of the Android interface. I usually plug it in every night in this manner, rotated out to put the 30-pin on the outer side and plugged in.
It is "technically" leather, but it seems like every other "Genuine Leather" product out there, where the leather is just a very very thin layer of leather covered over cardboard or other fillers. (I make leather stuff as a hobby, so I know what real leather is capable of and feels like when done properly).
The plus sides are:
It fits rather well and does not interfere with the touchable screen area, even with my big hands I have yet to conflict with the edges of the touchable screen. .
It fits very snug and tightly, so it doesn't move at all.
It fully exposes the power, volume rocker, microSD slot, IrDA port, and headset port, and covers most of the SIM card, so it helps prevent loss of the SIM card in case it ever popped open and somehow snapped out.
Anyway, that's my review, hope it's helpful to people.

So I ordered the fancy case thinking I would have it for the life of the phone... Don't like it at all. Here is why.
1. It doesn't make the phone any easier to hold or help prevent accidental screen touching at the edges. You would need a pop socket to hold the phone well... Which would cover the light.
2. It doesn't offer much protection at all and is smooth hard plastic that promotes dropping and sliding off surfaces.
3. The lit up part is under open recessed holes which will fill with gunk over time. You'll have to carefully clean them with a needle.
4. The lighting doesn't use the stock light port on the back, it's lit by a bright little LED next to the camera flash that eats up some battery.
I much prefer the cheap hybrid tpu / plastic case that was on my one plus 6T. It made the phone easier to hold and use as well as offering great protection.
Do you have the kunai? If so would the case get in the way of adding the kunai 3s?
Don't own the kunai so not sure.
Will probably buy a different case though, if I keep this one I'll eventually end up breaking this phone
The cheaper tpu cases air trigger cutout only allow for single trigger and does not support dual or sliding usage for the trigger.
The lighting armor case cover fully the top and bottom of the phone, and also stick out quite a bit on the left and right side of the phone. It should offer some drop protection as it is quite hard to remove. Only thing is there is no front lip with screen protector applied. However it offer ample camera lens protection.
Until correct cutout are made for 3rd party cases, I cannot recommend any of them.
I threw together a 3D printed outer case that fits over this case but doesn't cover any of the bottom lighting. Makes it a bit easier to hold and should offer more protection. Still a bit of a work in progress but if you have a printer and want to try it out, knock yourself out. I still need to do something to make the buttons easier to press and the air triggers are pretty much a no go. I also covered the dock port. I'm not much of a gamer, I just wanted a fast phone with a big screen and huge battery

based on what I've seen so far probably
the official little lighting case doesn't work with the desktop dock which I could forgive, the aero cooler which kinda makes sense it would be pointless not to have direct contact, but I was shocked to find it didn't even work with the twinview dock, I plan to get the kunais when they come out but right now I'm calling it that they won't like cases of any kind.
