Hey guys, I just ordered a couple of these:
http://www.amazon.com/Skque-Black-Silcone-Transformer-TF101/dp/B006JJ8ZU8/ref=sr_1_45?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323510433&sr=1-45
I've been looking for a while, there's not many silicone cases for the transformer and I haven't seen these posted here so I thought I would share. They have a few different colors and they don't have a funky design on the back. I'll snap some pics when they get in and add them here along with a mini review.
That looks a lot like the Sikai case but is only $8 compared to $17! Nice!
Hmm, I wonder if you could chop off some silicone to make it compatible with the dock (although I guess it wouldn't close all the way still).

from the looks of it, it should fit the tablet while it's docked (see the slots on the bottom edge for the connector and the locks?)

Silicone is soft just force it on there lol
Thanks OP, picked up one even though I have two portfolio cases already. I think this will do at home use but will probably be a lint magnet.

This wasn't there when I bougth the Sikai case two weeks ago. Paid too much now!
from the pictures it is hard to tell if the case has the proper cutouts for the power and volume buttons. Can anybody confirm that it does.

I just got the case delivered today. There are no cut out for the volume and power buttons, they are coverd with raise tabs so u know which is which. I prefer this way to cover the buttons so less chance of grime getting into those slots. The fit is good very snug but if u hold it in portrait mode the sides tend to strech out a bit, wish it covered more of the tablet. Very nasty smell on first use and so far don't seem to have much issues with lint.
I will most likely use this at home as both of my portfolio cases tend to put too much weight on the tablet. For 8 bucks what is not to like?
my bezel frame around my screen came off so I hadda do a ****ty super glue job. do u think this case will not only hold everything together but.hopefully protect it from further damage?

No, the sides are loose, you can move them with your thumb. What you need is probably a hard shell back cover case that is tight against the edges (or a portfolio case), don't know if they make them. these covers don;t really do any protection except for scratches on the back, you drop them any distance your tablet is history.

I got confirmation from Case-mate that this is the only case they make for our phone that will not cover the top microphone. I went ahead and ordered one using the Facebook discount. Go the their FB page and "like" them to get the code. If you are having issues PM and I will give you the code.

Agreed, but with the 20% discount, it was more manageable, though still expensive.

When you say the black barely there case, do you mean the normal plastic case (This one), or do you mean the AT&T specific brushed aluminum one in black (This one) the OP referred to? I'd like to know, even though Case-Mate might say otherwise, if all the ports, buttons, etc. are accessible in the normal plastic one.
Thanks

case seems fairly sturdy. the Incipio feather on my wifes atrix cracked on one corner (these are similar cases) but that was because of taking it on and off and its stiffer. On this case it seems easier to take off so I dont think it will crack as easily....unless maybe if you drop it alot or something.
Got my case!
I received my Barely There Aluminum today. Fit and finish is great as you can expect from a case that sells for $40! I really like the heft that this case adds to the phone. Without a case, I felt that the S2 was too thin and light. The feel of the plastic bumper is very nice. It feels satiny and "soft". To me, the plastic actually looks like powder coated metal. The aluminum back and chrome trim really makes this case look very classy. The camera opening has a little raised edge around it so when sitting on its back, the lens is protected. There is also a very small raised edge around the screen which will help protect the screen when placed faced down on a table, though dont expect major protection if the phone is dropped faced down and dragged across the floor. I only have 2 concerns: one is that the plastic on the sides does feel slick to the touch and two, the power button is a little hard to press. You really need to use the tip of your finger in order to press power.
This case may not be for everyone since it does leave the top and bottom exposed, but that is to be expected from a "barely there" case. Overall I am very pleased! So pleased in fact that I am thinking about getting the Case-Mate Pop or Tough for times when I need extra protection for the phone.
Umm...pictures?

Do you have any pictures?
Agreed. Pics would be fantastic, especially from a few angles. The ones on the Case-Mate website don't give enough for me to make a decision. Additionally, what parts are plastic? I figured an aluminum case would be.. well.. metal. Is only the back panel metal and the rest is plastic? If so I just don't think I can make myself spend $35-40 on it. :|
Another point of concern for me is that on their website, even though they say US AT&T version of the SGSII (which is the SGH-777 we all have) the pictures are of a GT-i9100. Am I correct in assuming that they're just posting a picture for a different phone but actually make a case for ours?
Question: Do the barely there cases.scratch up the sides? I had a similar case when I owned an iPhone and it scratched the sides where it clipped on to the phone.

Certainly not the only case that doesn't cover the top microphones, someone didn't use the SEARCH button... just thought I'd clear that up so people don't think there's only one case on the market that fits our phone, however hideous or GPS-blocking it may be.
Has anyone found anything similar? I'm not a huge fan of leather cases as they never seem to fit properly. I'm probably being too picky but here's what I'm looking for:
Hard back cover - if leather it mustn't be flimsy or overly bulky
Clip to all corners of the tablet - the ones that only clip on the top and sides always seem to slide off.
Thin is a plus
Some means of standing the tab in one or more position is a positive
Absolutely no velcro anywhere
Prefer to not covered any part of the screen - black part included
I'd be content with something like an otterbox commuter with a kickstand. Or a nice portfolio cease that clips on all corners and magnetizes closed.
What have you found?

Thanks for the link. Do you own one of these? It's difficult to judge from the website. Can you answer a few questions.
I like that it connects on 4 corners but does the bottom two corners not slip off to stand it up? If so, does the device ever slide down (this has been my experience with other devices)? How difficult is it to pop the bottom corners off? Seems like it'd eventually damage the bottom of the device.
Does it close by means of a clasp or a bungy cord?
How bulky is it?

Yes, I own one.
Yes, the bottom two corners clip off to stand it up but it doesn't/can't slide down, the side clips are tight to prevent this. It's not actually difficult to clip off the bottom corners, indeed they really just sit in place to hold the device - to be honest, if you cut them off the Prime would still not slip straight out.
It clasps closed at the top centre, by the camera. Just like the corners really, it clips over the top.
Some people might be concerned about securing/removing the clasp or corners will damage the device. I don't think this will happen though, the material is soft and nothing requires a lot of force.
It's not too bulky, it feels good in my hands. It's quite stiff (not floppy) which I like and it has some good padding which adds to the bulk but it's perfectly acceptable to me. It's also very light.
I received it last Thursday and really do love it. I hate cases but felt I needed one because the Prime is tender. Most of the cases I've seen are not so nice but I really do like this one (for the price).
Here's the expensive version:

Thanks for your feedback. I really appreciate it. I'm going to shop a little more but I'm definately leaning towards the case you bought (not spending $80 on a case...lol). If you think of anything, good or bad, in the next few days please let me know.

Yep, they're all the same, check out the video review on YouTube for the Blurex version.
I have had the Poetic Case for the 201 and keyboard and have been relatively happy, the only exception being I didn't like how much thickness and bulk it added. Yesterday I got my Sikai Case and so far I am pretty happy.
One piece, when you have the keyboard attached it covers all of it, when you don't there is a minimal bit of extra material where the hinge cover is. Overall it is a pretty good bit of kit, fits nice and tight on all four corners of the tablet, and seems to stand acceptably by itself.
FWIW I think a good deal for the price.
Cheers,
P

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

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...

Today I received my Spigen Slim Armor w/Air Cushion Technology. Sorry, I wanted to post a link to the Amazon page so everyone could see what it looks like, but you will all have to Google/Amazon it
First impression is that it fits snug and has great cutouts. There is a full rubber cover and then a hard shell that wraps over the middle portion of the rubber cover. The hard shell is a bit slippery but overall it is a well put together case and leaves more than enough space for a tempered glass screen protector. The only unfortunate thing about this case is that there is a hole where the buttons on the back of the phone are, really wish there was a cover for the buttons as well but I have yet to see such a case, like the Otterbox cases for the LG G2.
Overall it is a good case and worth the price.
I purchased this case a the Verizon store when I got my phone, overal great case offeres good protection while keeping the phones slimness, just an fyi if you order the white one it has like a shimmery look, my wife says It looks like it's for a woman
I have this case too and I like it. FYI the white case is just as shimmery as the OEM white backplate. Hell, Spigen calls it "Shimmery White..." Oh and it's $9.99 right now.

Ohh that one. I actually have that one too...LOL. I couldn't decide so I got both. AND then I saw the post for the OEM LG Slim Guard case (http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-slim-guard-case-for-lg-g3-white-262017/) and bought that too. So now I'm going to have 3 cases and 2 OEM Qi enabled cases....:silly:
I have the charcoal one and love it! Back isn't slick to me...unlike the protection and slimness
I have the Spigen Slim Armor in Metal Slate and I'm extremely happy with it. Low profile, lightweight, and the cutouts are spot on.
I bought the Incipio Dual Pro case at the store when I got my G3, and I consider the Spigen to be much better. While the Dual Pro does seem to protect the phone very well, the ridges along the side are so high and protrude so far onto the face of the phone that it makes it nearly impossible to swipe from the left to access the menu in most apps. Even though I have huge hands, I find it a challenge to hit the upper left part of the screen with my right thumb on the G3, so using the swipe from the left side is essential to me. It's not an issue with the Spigen Slim Armor, as it does not extend far enough onto the face of the phone to get in the way. :good:
Which one of the Spigen's do you like better?
I'm also rocking this case.. overall i'm happy with it. Very slim and fits snuggly.
Only downfalls are the back is a little slick. not a big deal. Theirs not covers over the buttons, on my g2 I had a balistics case that covered the buttons which was nice. The only thing that really bothers me about this case is where the ubs and headphone jacks plug in. the edges on the case are somewhat sharp. I hold my phone in a way that it rests on my pinky finger, and its irritating to say the least. Maybe its just me and my big hands..
Just picked up this case as well as I can't stand the built in screen protector on my Supacase Beetle Unicorn due to the dead spots. So going naked for the screen, but will have this case on it. My wife has one on her g2 and always liked how it felt.

The only thing that really bothers me about this case is where the ubs and headphone jacks plug in. the edges on the case are somewhat sharp. I hold my phone in a way that it rests on my pinky finger, and its irritating to say the least. Maybe its just me and my big hands..

I agree, Lil sharp on the pinky... Lol
How is the white color holding up. Every white case I have after a few weeks it turns brown or black. I cant stand it.
For the sharp edge on the pinky finger just get some 1000 grit sand paper and take the edge off. Helps a lot.

Oh, thank goodness it isn't just me! My pinky always finds the USB port hole, but I figure if it's anything like the Incipio case I had on my S4 it'll smooth itself out over time.

That works too.
I just picked up one from amazon and I like it. I had the Best Buy one but I change cases like I change my shorts. I'll probably buy another one in the next few weeks for a different look.

Mines pulls away too. Thought it just was the way it was due to the screen getting so close to the edge and the case not having much to hold on to.
Great Protection BUT
I purchased the Slim Armor case. Really like the look and the fit (stays in place and doesn't cover the screen). My only issue is the depth of the power and volume keys. With the case, they are recessed almost 1/8th of an inch. This makes it harder to use both.

Ohh that one. I actually have that one too...LOL. I couldn't decide so I got both. AND then I saw the post for the OEM LG Slim Guard case (http://www.expansys-usa.com/lg-slim-guard-case-for-lg-g3-white-262017/) and bought that too. So now I'm going to have 3 cases and 2 OEM Qi enabled cases....:silly:

I disagree about the recessed buttons. I find it makes it very easy to find the buttons and avoid touching the camera lens. Also, I have long skinny fingers and am able to use the device comfortably with one hand. This phone isn't for people with small hands...
Just got this case and am really liking.
Much thinner and lighter than I expected. Much lighter than book cover.
Like the pen holder
Good grippingin on 2 sides. Kinda loose when gripping on edges with pen or camera cut out.
Super easy on off. Perfect fit of all ports and speakers
Only realcomplaint is no kickstand

Hi. I also ordered from Poetic, waiting for delivery. I have a question : The navigation bar is easy to access ?

The case gets in the way a little but still useable
I just got this same case. This is a bit of an issue for me:

Actually, for me it's bad on 3 sides, top, bottom, and s-pen side, but i don't grab by the top or bottom too much. Kinda feels like it could fall out of the case, and the side with the S-pen, just feels like a handle that I intuitively try to grab, especially because it doesn't have a kickstand, I wanna grab it on one side.

Agree on spen edge and cutout side, but no issues with other edges. I'm really liking this case and haven't switched back to the book cover even once yet.

I have gotten more used to it. I will probably keep this case on until a more rugged case comes out, preferrably with a kickstand. Also sort of thinking of whether there's a case I can put over the top of the case, maybe a UAG exoskeleton.

Really wish they made the UAG Metropolis for this. Had on an ipad pro and the tear away cover is fantastic. Love that case(Hated IOS though and never really used it)
