I am on the prowl for a case for my upcoming Samsung Note. I am having difficulty finding (of course) any cases that are made specifically for the AT&T Version.
Do we have any confirmation that the International Version and the AT&T LTE Version are in anyway different? Mic Placement, Etc?
What are all of you buying for a case?
I bought a case from Amazon for 5 bucks for international note. If it doesn't work then I am out only 5 bucks.

Best Buy giving away free case!!
I got a free case from Best Buy for Preordering my Note from them and then they gave me $50 bucks!

From what I understand, device dimensions are the same, but no one has yet been able to say whether or not MIC placement is identical.
From the pics i have seen the Mic looks like it is in the same place but not sure about the 3 mm jack
Sent from my GT-I9100 using XDA App
I emailed SGP and one other case manufacturer to see if they are the exact same.
The microphone thing worries me
Edit: just compared two back shot pictures of the note. One international and one AT&T. The 3.5mm jack is in the same position.
i ordered an aluminum bumper from ebay. it should be here soon. ill update everyone when i get my note!
for aluminum bumpers, i dont see a problem with mic placement. or the 3mm jack. you can just mod them easily.
anyway, speck a couple of cases out. i have used the candyshells on my iphone for about 2 years now and have dropped it about a billion times. the phone is in good condition still so they work good!

As far as we have been told, the International and 4G LTE versions are identical in shape. The internals and weight are different, but cosmetically, they are almost identical. The only noticeable difference is the home button. The international version has a physical click home button but the AT&T version has a capacitance home button. This does not effect the cases shape. You can see images of the case we will have in stock (later this week) here:
Amazon ASIN: B0075WQ118 (introductory sale price of $4.95)
You should expect to see other colors (White, Clear, Blue, Red, Purple) in this style online in a matter of days. The Gloss and Matte versions will follow later next week. Let me know if you have any questions about this case.

Thanks...I see your case shows the AT&T Version with the capacitive buttons....guess that means your case should fit like a glove. I went ahead and ordered the white one figuring that if I didn't like it...i'd only be out 8 bucks.
On another note...(no pun intended).. I currently have an IPhone 4s and use a Credit card case like the one in the attached images... Since I've been an Iphone user since the very first one, I'm having difficulty finding decent cases for other phones (IE...Note).
Are there any cases like this out there for the Note?
TIA!
What are the holes on the bottom right of the phone? It is located on the backside of the phone directly across the speaker phone. I see some cases for the N7000 having the slots opened for it and some just covers it. Also most pictures of the International Galaxy Note does not have the holes there.. is this ATT only?
Thank you for clarifying that. Makes more sense, now I can shop with ease.
Cimo, thanks for the info. About to order this case right now.
Real quick, I don't suppose if you know if this will work with ProClip's vehicle mount for the note? I know they don't have much room for give so I was planning on going with no case on the phone . . . but I like the looks of this case and the deal is pretty hard to beat.
I just bought this one from Elago.
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Slim-Ca..._1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-3
I always used Elago with my iPhone 4. They're not the best at protection, but they're the thinnest short of a decal skin. For me, that's the most important thing on a big phone.
I bought the white, because I have the white note, but maybe I'll buy another color too later, or return the white. Hope it's not that tight, like the Amazon reviewer implies, but I don't plan on removing it ever.
This one seems to be thin enough too: http://www.amazon.com/elago-Handmad..._1_9?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1328640739&sr=1-9
I was thinking about getting the SGP because it covers the power and volume buttons.
http://www.amazon.com/SGP-Samsung-G...XD94/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1328645558&sr=8-1
They also have a padded thinner case like the one mentioned above but it is quite expensive. I really want to get a aluminum bumper but $50+ seems too much for protection that don't even cover the rear.

For Seidio Fans
Seidio has a place holder up for the Galaxy Note! Won't be long now before the cases come out. I wonder if they will include a holster for the surface case?

Thanks for the info. I have a few questions:
Will a screen protector come with each of those cases?
I noticed the purple S-Line link doesn't go to product page.....But will you guys still be selling it in that color?
And finally, does the Gloss and S-Line cases both feel about the same?
EDIT: Nevermind. I scrolled through your product pages and was able to find that purple case.
Here is mine. Just received it today. It's a G4-slim fit. It's a hard case that is super thin and has a rubbery non -slip feel to it.

While there are two distinct OP's regarding skins in this section, there is not set place to see pictures of then without scrolling through 100's of pages to find them.
What I have below is a consolidated picture OP of the skins that I have and future skins to make choosing which skin you want easier. So far I have tried dbrand and Slick Wraps skins for my Nexus 6 and I will write my thoughts of both companies down below as well. I am a bit of an accessories hoarder when it comes to my phones so I'm happy to share more about each one with the forum. I will be buying more skins and updating my OP when I get them with plenty of pictures, don't be afraid to ask for more pictures because I have a plethora of them.
dbrand: dbrand.comdbrand.com
I have been ordering from dbrand for a while now, and I enjoy their skins. They have a nice amount of customization when it comes to phones especially the Nexus line. dbrand offers accents, back skins as well as front skins and you can order them in any arrangement that you choose. Their skins are made with 3M vinyl which means the material is the best quality they can use for skins. The color choices that dbrand offers are fairly standard, but not near as large as some other companies out there. The company ships from Canada which means you can expect the delivery time in the US to be 1-2 weeks. I've had orders take much longer than that (30+ days) but that is not normal and it is caused by USPS's slow movement. The cut of dbrand's skins is very precise leaving you with a virtually edge to edge fit. If you install the skin correctly you will have a fantastic looking device that is sure to attract many looks. I have people ask me if my phone was custom made and how did you get that back etc... with many of the skins that I have used including SW.
SlickWraps (SW): slickwraps.com
Initially I had some issues with SW not sending out shipping emails when I first purchased my Nexus skins. SW rep on the forum (usually Weston, but there are others who use the account) was nice enough to fix everything for me. I then ran into an issue with USPS delivering my package to the wrong address (the correct one was on there) but thats not SW's fault. They shipping my order out swiftly, and it arrived in about 5 days which is great compared to dbrand. SW also uses 3M vinyl which as mentioned above is the best material for skins. They also have custom colors made by 3M for them and a couple of other companies. Their color selection is superior to any other company so far, and they offer the Motorola "M" cutout on their Nexus 6 skins. Some people may like this while others may not (I personally like it). SW makes back skins, frame skins, and front skins which can give you a nice 360 degree coverage on your phone. SW also has a "goof" policy which states that SW will replace your skin if you "goof" up the install. This is great for those of us that aren't the best at installing skins or are new to it and make a mistake. Their skins fit is identical to dbrand in my experience so you don't have to worry about which one fits better. It's a matter of preference and what color/style of skin you want to buy. It should also be noted that SW does accept custom orders for skins. I ordered some without the Motorola "M" cutout and and another with just the Nexus "X". If you are on the edge between the two companies the option to have your skin customized should aide with that decision. If you contact Slickwraps (send Weston a message) with your order # and request he will do his best to accommodate you. I will post pictures of the "custom" ones I ordered below in addition to the regular skins.
I recommend both companies skins based on my experiences, and I hope this guide helps you decide what is better for you.
Carbon Fiber:
The texture is very subtle on this skin and it provides more grip than the stock plastic back. The look is unmistakably carbon fiber, but we know the skin is made out of vinyl. The skin itself is moderately reflective while maintaining the nice style of carbon fiber.
Red (dbrand)
Black (dbrand)
Blue (dbrand)
Green (SW)
Metal:
The texture of this is very similar to raw steel or aluminum with lines/ridges running along the vinyl. The feel is very slightly "ribbed" and is slightly more slippery than the carbon skins above. The skin is moderately reflective depending on which color you get. Each color has a "metal" like undertone if you look at it in the correct lighting.
Silver Titanium (dbrand)
Black Titanium
Leather:
This skin has a very nice leather look to it. There are a couple different styles of texturing as far as the leather look goes. I have the brown leather one pictured below for reference . The skin is not very reflective at all and has the most grip out of all of the textures. The feel is soft and very close to synthetic leather. My wife described it as a "snakeskin texture" and was quite impressed by it.
Brown (SW)
White "Alligator" (SW)
Color:
The "color" skins are exactly that, different colors without having any real texture. The skins have a low reflectiveness and are generally smooth with a very subtle texturing. Their texture is almost identical to the "matte" skins. There isn't much else to say about these, but note that they are more "grippy" than the factory back. These skins don't attract or show fingerprints from what I have seen.
Blue (dbrand)
Matte:
The matte skins are an almost identical texture to the color series which means they are generally very smooth. As the name suggests the skin is indeed "matte" with virtually no reflectiveness to it. The skins is quite "slippery" but it still has more grip that the phone without one.
Update: Other users have reported that they don't have any issues with fingerprints showing up. The fingerprints and oil issue may just be my hands, however I will see if other members experience the same thing that I did. As always everyone's experience can vary based on how "oily" their hands are naturally.
Black (dbrand)

MODS:
Off topic discussion is allowed to an extent, but I do not want any "x company is better than y" or bashing in my OP. Personal experiences are okay as long as they follow the forums rules and don't "bash" any company in a manner which could be taken the wrong way.
Please be respectful of your fellow forums members and don't start any arguing in my OP or you will be reported. There is too much OT arguing on here lately and thats not what this forum is for. Remember we are all here to help each other
All of the Skins that I currently have together:
new pictures are in a post down below due the restriction of 60 images per post with the 'img' tag.(See post #4)
Update [12/20]
I will add/revise to this OP even though I no longer own a Nexus 6 (moved on to the 6P). I still have a fair amount of skins, and will gladly answer any questions regarding any of the ones in this OP or in general.
I've used multiple skins from both companies on my nexus 5 and i found both had pros and cons.
Here are my experiences.
dbrand:
Pros - great price, modular purchasing, quick delivery, great textures, thick vinyl (feels quality and durable) . good side parts.
Cons - my nexus just didn't want to align with the cut outs. Glue seeped from the sides and had to be trimmed otherwise a thick, white edge would be visible
Slickwraps:
Pros - for my nexus, a more accurate cutting, no seepage (except on one design which I got a free replacement for), great customer service
Cons - felt less textured and thinner. Didn't like how the sides fit as much.
These are my personal experiences with my nexus 5. They will differ to those of others.
Overall I've enjoyed using both and wouldn't hesitate to recommend either company. They're both really good at what they do. I've had both, I'll have both again.

Thanks for these!!! I'm curious, do you switch your skins often? Do they remove fairly easily and put back on the backing for later use? Or is it a one and done type thing. I'm looking at buying a few of these and have never used either company before. Thanks again!
Green Only "X" cutout (SW)
Purple (SW)
Orange no cutouts (SW)
Silver (SW)
Natural Series
There are a variety of "skins" in the natural series ranging from real cork to Horween Leather. I have the Bamboo posted below and soon I will have the leather ones. The bamboo is exactly that, bamboo. It is smooth as you would expect but you can still feel the grain which gives it a nice subtle texture. There is not real "grip" with the real bamboo, but lets be honest we buy the bamboo for how it looks. The bamboo is thicker than the standard skin so be careful when you buy it because not all cases may work. It does work with the Spigen Ultra Hybrid but it makes the screen virtually flush with the case. The bamboo is about as thick as a tempered glass screen protector and its flexible enough to curve with the phone. The adhesive works really well on the phone and is much stronger than the standard ones. To sum it up you won't be disappointed with the bamboo!
Real Horween Leather:
The Horween leather "skins" if you call them that are excellent quality. They look feel and even smell as good as you would expect leather to. SlickWraps uses the same leather as the Moto X 2014 so you know that its quality leather. I currently have the Dark Brown (football will be here Friday 2/13) and I could not be happier. The leather can be installed instead of the factory back which allows it to sit flush with the frame to give you that "factory fresh" OEM look. These are the best hands down "skin" you can buy at the moment. The leather will give you a huge amount of grip compared to the stock OEM back plate not to mention the nice look it provides. The leather itself is thicker than a standard skin as you would expect and comes in close to the bamboo's thickness. Using a case over the leather will be hard without using it as a replacement back. I also had a piece custom cut to fit the back of my Spigen Ultra Hybrid case so that I can have more grip than the slippery clear PC back it has. Overall you cannot go wrong with Horween leather and if you want a unique phone use it as a back replacement its a simple process. There is a guide here on XDA by another member showing the process (I did it and it took ~15 minutes from start to finish)
Dark Brown Horween Leather:
(I "aged" my leather on my phone so it looked more broken in because leather looks better when it gets used )
Camera Accent and Motorola "M" are from dbrand

Its brighter than I imagined, but it looks awesome with the blue supcase and blue camera accent. Its going to be my DD for a while.
I've has issues with slicks wraps and won't ever purchase from them again. I made a comment on a dbrand Facebook post about the crap slick starts on XDA. Slickwrapa went on my Facebook and found my company and wrote in to all the officers of my company stating I was harassing them. They even went as far to screen shot my facebook comments and demand my work change our internet policy. I'm an honest buyer and give honest reviews. But I can not believe the amount of effort they went through to track me down and treaten my place of work for something I posted on Facebook on the weekend.

That is rather unfortunate I never use my social media accounts for anything other than connecting with friends and family. I also don't have my real name on there for privacy reasons I keep it minimal and my friends know this. I'm sorry to hear about that, I believe I read about your experience on the 'posts to page' section on FB. I would not tolerate someone harassing me because what you do outside of work is your business not your companies. It's not my business to comment on these thing, but I hope that you can get this sorted out.
Now that I'm sufficiently of topic I wanted to say that I'm going to get some more dbrand skins as well. I was thinking about matte white and maybe another color series one. Does anyone have recommendations or want to see any in particular?
I'm rather found of the titanium skin on the blue nexus. I'll post some pictures soon.

That was my favorite skin but I only had it on my phone for a short time because of a RMA. My Nexus is now the cloud white color so that's why I have both colors pictured above. The leather looks nice too on the CW Nexus. I'll see how the purple one turns out when it arrives.
Edit: I'll update you guys when I get a shipping notice from SW for my purple CF and white leather skins.

Superb work chap. I actually spend days scouring both the DB and SW thread for pictures. Living in the U.K things get slightly inconvenient when importing products over from the states.
Just before you started this thread I ended up placing an order for a couple of skins from SW mainly because I liked the way Weston conducts himself on here.
Seeing your old MB on a titanium looks lovely. This will be the first I install. How did you find it in terms of fingerprinting?
Also how would you say these types of skins would fair against repeatedly placing and removing from a leather pouch?

Thank you for the kind words!
The MB and titanium skin was my favorite set up until I got the cloud white Nexus.
The only one that attracted fingerprints was the matte black, all of the other ones were great at no shoeing finger prints.
I think all of the skins would be fine in s leather pouch with the exception of the 'leather' skin. My only concern with the leather style skin is the amount of grip it had compared to the other skins. It has a softer feel to it which over time could wear from going into and out if a pouch. I've never had any skin start to peel on me and I had the same skin on one of my G3's for 4-5months.
I use a case on my phone and I also have a pouch (not a leather one) and even with the constant changing of cases I haven't had any issues. If you have any other questions please feel free to ask away. I just started my spring semester so I will do my best to respond in a timely manner, but engineering work gets very time consuming.
This is really making me want a leather one. I may have to pull the trigger on it

If you aren't sure my white one is coming by Friday (alligator texture) and I could post more pictures of my brown leather one. It has a nice feel and the most grip out of all the textures. I think the wood skins are a close second, but I don't have on currently. I might get the mahogany or teak in the future.
I am open to suggestions for skins if anyone wants to see one in particular I will consider it for my next order.
Great points. Here are my thoughts on the 2 brands as I've had both for the Nexus 6. I did note that the Nexus logo on the dbrand is a little wider than the one on the slickwraps. Other from that, I prefer the M logo versus the filled or exposed circle. I feel like the exposed circle breaks the lines, but the filled one leaves a big empty gap that looks a little off. On the other hand, I like the M logo, but the edge of the middle of the M is sharp and has me worried that it may eventually peel. time should tell.
dbrand
Pros:
- Great customer service! My initial order went missing over 15 days. I emailed them about it, and they immediately sent out replacement ones.
- More customization options on the site in regards to the Nexus logo and the circle.
- Website allows you to see what it will look like with the color phone you have and not covering the sides
Cons:
- Shipping to me is terrible. the replacement order that they sent me? I'm still waiting on it. And it's been close to a month. I actually ordered more of them because of the great customer service. So I have 2 seperate orders that were shipped on 12/12 that I have yet to receive.
slickwraps
Pros:
- Colors! Tons of selection of colors and styles. I'm in CF heaven right now
- More coverage. If you want to cover the sides, you have the option. slickwraps seems to do a good job of offering coverage of the sides and corners. I noticed this on the iPhone 6 as well, where the wrap goes completely around the corners
- Shipping is fast and free. I chose the slowest/free method, and I received mine in about a week. (I was away at CES, so I don't know exactly when it arrived.) Compared to paying $3 for shipping, it taking a month now....
Cons:
- Website experience isn't as good. Not sure if it's my computer or not, but using Chrome, I can't hit the devices button. So I can never get to the nexus 6 page without googling it. Works fine in IE. Also, when I select Back Only, I wish it would show the back only. This would give me a better idea of what it will like.
Overall, I started out using dbrand since they had great customer service, and they were the first to have N6 wraps available. However, I may still with slickwraps for now since they have the M logo cutout (which I prefer,) and shipping to me is a lot quicker and free. Both have excellent products and I don't think you can go wrong with either one.

Hey ,
bought the gray strap in ebay here (although it's mocha color)
just received it today.
And it feels a lot different from the strap that came with the watch (I have the white one).
the texture is completely different , the mocha strap is a lot stiffer.
also attached pictures of the package.
question is , how can I tell if it's original or not?
Thanks

everything samsung that is white feels weird. Even their phone covers, my wife and I have the edge and I have a black cover while she got the white. both genuine samsung but the white is way more plastic feeling, same for the other phones. considering that theres like zero alternatives for bands and samsung is always out of stock, if it fits then roll with it.
nice find though, thats the cheapest Ive seen including shipping, may have to pick one up for myself.

Even their phone covers, my wife and I have the edge and I have a black cover while she got the white. both genuine samsung but the white is way more plastic feeling, same for the other phones. considering that theres like zero alternatives for bands and samsung is always out of stock, if it fits then roll with it.
nice find though, thats the cheapest Ive seen including shipping, may have to pick one up for myself.

in my case , the white feels nicer and like it's made from high quality material.
the mocha feels like harder cheap plastic
the seller response
Got a response from my seller who talked to Samsung. this is pretty much satisfying :
Regarding your question, I asked Samsung technician in Samsung Service in Korea and he said that Samsung uses different raw materials to make good color/ shape of each strap as follows.
A. Material of “White strap” is fluoro rubber.
B. Materials of “Gray strap” are urethane and silicon.
There are big difference of materials, consisting of white strap and gray strap. That’s why you feel difference.
There are 5 different strap colors from Samsung.
White strap is a lot smoother and flexible than other colors such as Gray, Black, Blue and Red strap.
another official reply from Samsung :
Unfortunately, there's not a code or anything that you could check on replacement bands for this device to ensure authenticity. We do recommend purchasing from official Samsung retail places to be sure you're purchasing original accessories. However, I can tell you that some of the different colors do have a different feel to them than others. The white straps are softer/more pliable
hope I helped someone somewhere.
Hi M3's users.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/for-Huawei-...202642?hash=item5d638de712:g:EEkAAOSwq19XBhQS
Anyone has found it?
I've just found a TPU case but I never loved the TPU or Silicone materials.
Thanks and Regards,
I have this one.

You can carefully remove the leather front flap yourself and that leaves the transparent hard plastic back shell.
You don't like the diarrhea Carmel one that came with it? Bahaha ha

lol, there's no one inside... not sure if it's a good or bad new.
I'll try to follow the Flavio's suggestion
I got this one from Amazon https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01NCK5S2V/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1. I get tired of the normal solid color cases and thought this "Starry Night" was a nice change. Originally I wasn't going to get a case for it to keep it as light as possible, but I found it a bit slippery at times and thought I better get a case before I accidentally drop the tablet.
I have this one - navy blue color

I just bought another M3 from Amazon Italy and found this hardcase for it:
https://www.amazon.it/gp/product/B01N7TRBFN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Does anyone thing there will be an otter box type case coming out for this device. It seems to be a lot more popular that is was when it first came out.
I definitely recommend this one (I got the white one) https://www.aliexpress.com/item/3-i...32757256844.html?spm=a2g0s.9042311.0.0.djUIsA. It has magnetic lock, it is thick enough to protect the tablet. I have not seen any Otter Box case or even a skin like Dbrand's or Alien Surface. The only thing that is close to the Otter Box is this one https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Min...32789384944.html?spm=a2g0s.8937460.0.0.Bwm6Yo.

I'm joining the conversation just to bring my experience.
I've have the silicon cover of kwmobile and this is what I think about it: the grip is great, it is not too chubby, but the protection doesn't fit well (I guess the silicon needs time before adapting to the tablet shape).
The one linked by @Flavio looks good and now I'm undecided, because I want also to protect my screen (not with the plastic film protection).
So maybe I will go for this: https://www.amazon.fr/dp/B01N4X1MLZ/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I3CP2J4UVV6I92&colid=36ITKF2LDDASR&psc=1
It should be available also in other Amazon country.
From amazon
Got mine from amazon, most of the covers for the M3 come with magnet and auto turn-off feature. It is a must to protect such a large body made of aluminum.
<link upheld due to my noob status>
Cheap and does the job fine.
This for me has worked wonders.

Why am I having so much trouble finding a case for My S20 Ultra!
I am looking for a specific type of case that I have used previously with my prior phones, I am looking for a "leather" type case, not a wallet or folio type that the color of the case extends to the sides of the case (meaning NOT BLACK on the sides) and does not have the cutouts on the top and bottom (extends all the way around the phone evenly).
The last case that I had on my S10+ was a case made by "Mikki" and I can't find anything current from them.
This a picture of what I'm looking for.
Did a quick search for you, have one question before I look further. You know that case isn't leather, right?

Oh Ya, I know that it's faux leather...
I have found quite a few cases that almost fit the bill, but they have that "cutout" along the top and bottom of the phone.
This one is really close to what I'm looking for:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Leather-Ph...var=611768948918&_trksid=p2057872.m2749.l2649
But that Mikki case was perfect (for me). It bugs me to look down on the desk and see black edges, I didn't buy a black phone.
(I know it's strange, it must be my OCD )
Thanks
