I recently had the opportunity to get a few of these cases to try out on my photon. I must say I have never really been a fan of TPU cases, but these are great!
The fit of these cases is perfect and very form fitting. You don't lose any of the cool design of the edges of the photon. The ports are all accessible and I haven't had any issues with the speaker on front or back being covered up. The volume rocker and camera buttons are covered and have raised buttons over them. Only issue i would have is i wish they had done the same over the power button as sometimes it is difficult to press. It ads barely any weight at all to the photon.
It glides in and out of your pocket and mine actually still fits in my leather pouch with the TPU on.
I love the look of the smoke colored one that I was sent. You can see the Motorola logo through the back as well as the sprint logo.
I also tested out a solid black one that was nice and a green one. They all have an argyle design on them which I really like. My wife liked the green case and if she had a photon I would buy her one as well.
Overall this case has completely opened my eyes and this is exactly what I needed for my photon. With the gorilla glass I don't really have to worry about the screen and now the outside is protected as well without losing the slim and cool design that I really love about the photon.
If you want a TPU case I would suggest buying them from cruzerlite and supporting a great product and fellow xda member. You can find them on Amazon or the cruzerlite website.
I will post some pics. Any questions or want other pics let me know.

I wish they weren't argyle. Otherwise I would have bought one
Sent from my MB855 using XDA App
I bought one similar from sprint. Had to cut buttons covers off because it was pushing in on power button and making phone go wacky on its own. Would also move too much on edges and was pealing edge of invisibleSHIELD. Now its sitting on my desk, which reminds me...will visit the trash can on my next trip to the kitchen.
I got the hard case and much happier, plus more rim protection when placed face down.
The jet black one is not argyle
The inside is,the outside is not.

Hey everybody, just thought I would give you a heads up on a great product, I plan on getting one for my Note this summer when I get my beast.
http://www.senacases.com/samsung-cases/galaxy-note/ultraslim/
It's the Sena Ultraslim pouch. I had one for my iPhone 3G and for my Captivate, and they are great cases. They are made of high quality leather that is hand stitched and buttery soft. I highly recommend them, as they are great for those of you that like to use your device naked, yet want some ultra thin protection for when it's not in use. Inside the pouch is a soft, velvety material that will somewhat clean the screen of your device as well. The pouch starts out kind of tight to the device, but loosens up a bit with use and conforms to the curves of the device perfectly. It barely adds any thickness or weight to the device as well. I had one white and one black for my iPhone, and a black one for my Captivate. The white can get dirty, as it is leather, but good care will keep it clean. Also, when you take the device out, if you hold it behind the device it can provide a little grip on the device with the leather being warm from your pocket, as the leather grips the plastic of the phone. I plan on getting a white one to match my white Note.
Here is a picture of the white one, they also have black, brown, and red.

Feel free to ask me any questions! And hit thanks if I found a new case for you!
Edit: One note, it does not work very well with Zagg InvisibleShield screen protectors due to the tight fit and the rubbery nature of those protectors. However, most high gloss or matte protectors have no troubles at all.
Wow
I really wish there was a design like this but as a case instead. It would be nearly the same thing. Maybe a flap on the top to tuck in and close it, with cutouts for the screen, buttons, and USB.
The only options we have right now for leather cases are either bulky, or flip. no thanks.
I'm tempted to order this and see if I can make the appropriate cutouts myself.
I just submitted a comment to them suggesting this.
After having a see-through PTU case since day one, I rarely take the case off. Recently I have been using the Note with a digital amplifier to listen to music. Since the cutout on the case doesn't fit the 3.5 mm input, I have been taken the case off. I immediately noticed how sexy the Note is in it's complete naked state with the vivid capacitative button lit.
I suggest you do the same to yours if you are not already. Just not in public .
Mine has been in its birthday suit since its initial unboxing. It definitely is a nice looking phone. Although the materials are primarily plastic, it still feels premium. No creaking on this guy.

Sexy profile is why I'm also keeping mine nude but the phone is way too big to avoid some kind of bumping especially when I'm in my car.
I dropped my note couple of times already but I've been very lucky so far...
It really hurts my feeling when what I mentioned above happens... It worries me every time.
I've grown very attached to this phone. I think im at least getting a bumper case. The phone won't look so sexy with a cracked screen or bruised corners.

I know it aint cheap but for about $50, the otterbox defender case is the best *insurance* and piece of mind, money can buy imo.

I know its just a bit of fun, but it could offend someone. Lets keep it clean now people
this is why i use a slim SLIM case on my note, doesnt really add anything or take anything away from it and all ports are super accessible.
Looking for a great slim case
I know the Otter Box Defender offers ultimate protection on the go but it's also hideously ugly and makes the device untenable for pocket use. I have no intentions of carrying it on my hip so I need something slim that offers some protection without detracting significantly from the beauty of the device. Has anyone tried different cases and found one that they love that sort of fit the aforementioned criteria?
BTW, currently I have a black Trident case on it which adds some bulk and size. It's still pocketable but it covers up the entire phone with a raised border around the screen for some protection. All that black is covering up my beautiful white though (except for the face). I'll be taking it back but I don't want to go unprotected. Ummmm...well, you know what I mean.
EDIT: Updated with pics of it installed now that my phone has arrived.
I'm not a huge fan of cases that add bulk to the phone. Over the course of the past 2 years I have grown fond of TPU cases as they protect all edges/sides of the phone while also not turning the phone into a brick. With the G3, I once again went on the hunt for a solid TPU case that didn't have the cutout on the top left of the phone for the expandable antenna that is not found on the U.S. version.
After doing some searching, I narrowed it down to a few different TPU cases but in the end the Fosmon TPU case seemed to be the best option. It's very cheap at only $5.97 with tax + free shipping, doesn't have the cutout on the top left, and has all the appropriate cutouts. I was surprised/happy to see that the back of the case is flat black while the sides are gloss (I missed this in the product description). It makes for a great look.
It arrived today and as I suspected, it fits perfectly. The cutouts are perfect and it's a nice tight fit all the way around. So if you are like me and enjoy the minimal protection TPU cases provide, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this case.
** I also installed a Spigen Tempered Glass screen protector as well (seen in the pictures). The case fits perfectly with the screen protector as well.

Bump for added pics of the case installed on the phone now that my phone has arrived. :highfive:
Overall, I love this case and would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

$5.97 shipped. You can't beat it.

Clear looks good to, unfortunately it yellows after a while. It's get black, thanks for the heads up!
So I stumbled upon this case on Amazon when searching for either a nice leather or faux leather case for my S7, and I was sick of the only ones available being those portfolio cases that cover the front. All I wanted was a case that was either a tpu style, or one that reminds me of the Incipio Feather or Spigen Slim Fit where the phone just pops in but the tops/bottoms are exposed....well I found this Tscase brand case and this thing is honestly awesome.

The leather feel on the back is really soft and smooth, and I chose the regular brown one instead of the netted, although the netted looks cool too.

the nice thing about this case is that it comes up over the corners, so the corners aren't so exposed. the top and bottom are exposed, yeah, but as you can see in the pics the corners are fine.
there's also a small lip around the screen so placing it screen down isn't an issue. plus, it pretty much hugs the sides, so i'm sure putting a screen protector that goes edge to edge wouldn't be an issue with this case.
overall, i'm so glad i found a cool leather case for this thing, and for a fraction of the cost of what the official samsung one is going to cost! i recommend this case if you like a thin, leather, good looking case!

Look nice... what screen protector are you using
Sent from my SM-G930T using XDA-Developers mobile app
the 10 dollar verizon branded ones. they're meh. don't mind the top corner by the ear piece lol...when i put it into gear VR one day it ripped it up and although i'm OCD and it bothers me, i'm way too lazy to put another one on.
plus within a week of having it on, i got a huge gash, so these screen protectors scratch easily. and obviously the sides have that effect because the glass curves.
overall, i only got them bc i needed them day one.
Can't find this in Amazon Canada? Other than Amazon US/UK, anyone know where I can pick one up?
hmm not sure. maybe they just aren't setup to ship in canada? it's a really nice case, though.
I bought the same case and I absolutely love it. I'm interested to see how well it holds up and how it weathers.

it's a great case. i just got the spigen crystal screen protector that wraps around the edges of the phone, and it fits perfectly with this case.
Now this is an interesting case idea that I've never owned before! So I got the Poetic Quarterback case; Poetic makes some good stuff, as I've had their Affinity series, which is a nice case, but i personally hate clear back cases (they get smudgy, oily etc.) My favorite type of case is leather, but I do like a good TPU every now and then (matte style.) I bought the Quarterback case because it seems unique..it's a really thin flexible TPU, but on the back, a hard plastic snaps on. It comes with black, but their plan is to sell different color back plates, which seems like a real cool idea. You buy the case in black, and then if you want to switch out, just get another color! Awesome idea, but no word yet as to when they're going to sell the colors and for how much. Until then, I really dig this case in black!
The backplate:

Ok, so the only con i have towards this case is the back is slippery..like really slippery. not in the hand, but on a table. so on my desk i can easily push this and it'll glide along. now, for me, that's not an issue because i don't care about things like that, but for some people, that's an issue. either way, only a con in the sense that others may not like it. besides, if you lay your phone face down on a table, the TPU lip that is in the front prevents it from moving.
All ports easily accessible:
Buttons are nice and clicky, and the side is TPU, not the hard plastic, so there's a good grip. There's a little ridge that helps with the grip.
Overall, this is a really nice case. The lip that comes over the edge of the front doesn't come over really far into the bezel which is awesome because I have the Spigen curved crystal screen protector, and being that it's curved, even though it's thin it goes right to the edge. Other cases will lift it up (even Spigens own cases!!) so i'm happy with how this is.
Either way, try this case out. Only $10 on Amazon with prime, and hopefully when the color plates come out they'll be priced reasonably enough to be able to swap whatever colors you want.
