Just purchased this case. Looks beautiful. The makers said their price is higher due to the quality of the leather and stitched seams. From the pictures, looks like the perfect case for me....and has a hand strap on the back! There is a $2.00 coupon code.

looks generic to me...
You could have gotten that exact case off eBay significantly cheaper
I have seen 3 or 4 (or 20) cases exactly like this one on Amazon under different manufacturer names. The most popular are Moko and Poetic. They generally sell around $10-20

Yikes! It covers the bezel.

Thanks opentoe for posting this here as well, and showing me this forum! I hope you know we appreciate this a lot.
Well no better time for caseen's first post here on XDA =). opentoe asked me if the discount was okay for XDA members to use in a PM to me over at the other forum (So he didn't post the code above i guess, I'm sure some people are wondering).
You can use primeforumsblack for $2.00 off the caseen black prime case.
You can use primeforumspink for $2.00 off the caseen true pink prime case.
You can use primeforumsretro for $2.00 off the caseen retro pink plaid prime case.
Link is above in OP's post, as I am sure it is bad form (against rules) for the manufacturer to post links to the products.
In defense of the caseen case product, all the cases linked above are very good for the price! I am always amazed at the quality (and price!) that those dealers can bring in competitive marketplaces like amazon. However, all those cases are made from plastic PU vinyl leatherette material, which has its merits but is significantly less expensive. Our material is genuine leather, and we just released this case to market yesterday night! The case has been in development for over a month, and yes at first glance some design points may be similar to other cases. Rest assured, we do a damn fine job at making sure the fitment is spot on perfect (and I am not knocking the competition, I am sure they have good fitment too). All cases go through a blueprinting, design, and testing process to ensure quality before production. One
Another poster didn't like that the bezel was covered, but this must be the case for a classic stitched design without the use of plastic, and plastic 'shell' type materials. I understand why people do not like bezel surrounds, and we want to make these people happy. We are constantly developing more solutions. I can say that our design team has played around with the idea of shell type cases with more exotic materials like carbon fiber and fiberglass. Hopefully one day we can bring these to market =)
As this is a just released new case product for the Prime, I hope some who had our case for the previous transformer will vouch for the quality of our case. Also I am sure some will vouch for our new prime type as well.
I hope this clears some things up! At caseen we do our best to provide exceptional customer service, feel free to PM or ask any questions and I will gladly answer them.

Using metal clamps covered in PU fake leather I'm not a fan of either. I have the Bluerec case. Once I did finally did get my prime "clampped" down I noticed if I wanted to view it at one of the angle I had to UNclamp the bottom again, and this has to be done everytime. While you can adjust the clamps with some tools it just doesn't hold the tablet like I would like it to. This is why I like the style cases where the tablet slides into a protective pocket and then STAYS there. No need to unclamp or remove it. Using the Bluerex case also, the rear backplate is open and susceptible to scratches. Using a Caseen type case it is always covered, hence no scratches. To each his own...I really like to keep my devices/electronics protected the best possible way...and the clamp style case isn't in that direction.
I love the plaid pink one but I am waiting on a moko one to come this week. Wish I had seen this sooner.
How easy is it to slip in and out?
soft cases
nice one ....you can try some other one also .
This one looks really good. A good deal considering its real leather. THE mono one went up in price at Amazon and is now 25.99. ID rather get this as it has a handstrap also. This will protect the prime better than mono because the bezel covered also. Mono one isn't. So if you had prime in theism case and it fell flat on its face, better chance of surviving vs. Moko one without bezel covered. I'm mean if flap opened on both cases to allow you to see screen. Seriously considering this one now. Are those coupon codes still good? If so, for how long?
Not to sound stupid but what is the bezel? You say these cover up the Bezel and that it's a good thing. Cause if my friend ends up getting the Prime maybe he will buy my Moko and I'll get the pink plaid one. I still want a screen protector and a back clear protector and don't know who to buy from?

Its the surround around the screen.
Thanks I wasn't sure. But now I want this pink case and not my Black Moko one coming tomorrow. I even saw a pink Stylus on Amazon. Never used a stylus with a tablet though and not sure I would need too. But when I do my remote and access my desktop on the tablet that would be good cause I was wanting a blue tooth mini mouse but maybe a stylus will work.
Edit: I just saw on there website free stylus with 20 dollar order wonder if I can get the pink one to match the case. Wonder what the difference is in the skinny pink one and the plaid one that's more expensive. I like the plaid better. Now I wish I hadn't ordered my Moko one. I just called the company and she said I can call back in an hour when there stock person comes in and see if they have a pink stylus and request it with my case. So now I am ordering the pink plaid one I think cause I really like it. She said there the same just the design on the plaid one makes it a little more but the plain pink one says skinny in the description. I hope I like it. My Moko case was 19.99.

I want to order the pink plaid one but only if I can get a pink Stylus and in my cart it's showing a blue one. Is it possible to get a pink one? I called and a lady on the phone said if it's available and I added a pink one to my cart and it didn't say unavailable. Cause I will buy this case if I can get a pink stylus. I like the plaid one. The other pink one says skinny in the name is there a difference between the two or is just the plaid one is more cause of the design? Thanks!

Dear Erausls,
This case is not hard to slip in or slip out. All you do is unhook the tab inside and you can easily slide the case from near the charger port area.

Hi new2q9c,
That hole we added that you might not see elsewhere is to give more flexibility to our open charge port tab. Gives the leather more flexibility to stretch and breathe in that confined area.

Thanks so much! I just ordered it just now and I added a note when I placed my order and I emailed customer support like you said. I can't wait to get the case and I hope the pink Stylus is in stock. Thanks So Much! Now what to do when they deliver my Black Moko one tomorrow. Anyone on here want to buy it? I'll probably just see if I can not accept it and return to sender. That pink plaid one is just too pretty! Does anyone on here no the return policy of the Moko one I ordered from Amazon? Guess I'll go there and lool/

Opentoe to you actually have the case yet? I just ordered tonight when I got home from work which was a bit ago. I was looking into a mini bluetooth mouse but now I am thinking and hoping this Stylus will work. Only for when I do Splashtop remote and want to access my pc on the tablet it's hard to touch the right spot and I was going to order a bluetooth mouse. But now I am hoping I can get by using the Stylus. Can't wait to get this case? Does it fold back so you can use it? I think someone asked but don't remember if it got answered. Thanks!

Like incase, speck, ect... that cover the back? This would be awesome.
I too yearn for such an accessory.
I searched the TFP Accessory forum using the search function, and this yielded no desirable results.
I've seen people with iPads have nice tight fitting hard cases and I am jealous.
For now I mostly want something that I can use along with my keyboard dock, and something to prevent my TFP's back from scratching on the surface of desks (even the smallest grain of salt will do damage) when I am taking notes.. and hope I do not drop it unless its its the carrying case.
I plan to just get this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZPPC1G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&m=A127GCSIQ9QZ6G
It fits the keyboard and will prevent stuff from scratching the surface.. Won't do much for impacts though
until then..
Shoot, thats what I thought. I did get a skinomi I just hope I can get something to cover the back from small bumps...it always tends to happen

Lol, that is a generic case. "For the transformer prime". Nice try tho
I bought this hard case:
eBay - The UK's Online Marketplace
Internal dimensions now that I have it in my hand are:
Case: 26.8cm x 19.1cm x 3-4cm
Prime: 26.3cm x 18.1cm x 2cm
As you can see, it's a pretty close fit in theory. Have to wait 5 days before I get my Prime to confirm it's a good fit.

doh!
No, simply put there are no hard cases special designed to perfectly fit the prime. For scratch protection however, I recommend a Skinomi.
Why not just buy a nice leather case where the tablet sits in all the time? Don't even have to expose the outside shell.
Thanks guys. Yes, an exact-fit hard shell is what I'm looking for. Seems like there aren't any. I have a skinomi. I really want a hard shell. I'll keep waiting.

I'm not a fan of having an ultra slim, beautifully made device and keeping it in a case all the time.
I like to feel my tablet or phone in my hands and just use a case for transportation purposes.

That case does not allow the use of a keyboard.
Any updates on AN ULTRA SLIM SHELL HARDCASE that is actually "for sale". I've run across a few in development? Anybody?
If you look for "sikai leather case tf201" on Amazon, the case I'm going to order next week there looks pretty good. I would post a link, but I am too new to the forum.
I'm planning on getting one of these. I live in Okinawa, Japan but will be coming back to the states next week, so I plan on ordering it for when I think I'll get there. It has a leather cover, and a hard plastic back part of the case, and fits with the dock. I have been waiting for some time on a developer in the forum to take his very promising hard case to "beta" or to just plain old buy one off of him, but I am tired of waiting for a good hard case. I think I'm just going to get one of these. I'll post a review once I get this and have a couple days of observation. I'm currently using a cheap,faux leather case which doesn't look bad. However, it offers little protection from falls and is beginning to tear apart.
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using xda app-developers app
Just found it here since Amazon didnt show how it fits with Dock
http://www.aliexpress.com/store/pro...-Prime-TF201-match-dock/900144_561141702.html
Good product however the guy in the review said u cant close the dock with the case?
http://www.amazon.com/Sikai-Leather...5646&sr=8-1&keywords=sikai+leather+case+tf201
I don't have this case, but looking at it, it looks like a good case. It's the dual silicon/polycarbonate case. popping around online I didn't happen to see any reviews for this particular case (for the note) but the series of touch case seem to have an overall 4+ star reviews on places like amazon.

--Edit--
I just noticed that shipping is $6
Looks a bit bulky, and there are plenty of cases for much less. I bought the S-line case for under $10 bucks and it works great. DO I really like it??? Not really. I prefer the Note without a case, but I sure don't want to drop it.
I use the Samsung flip case mostly, even though it is not wearing well. I dropped the phone once and the Samsung flip case actually came off of the phone. No damage to phone though. Must have landed just right, because the flip case offers zero side protection.

So.....what are they saying again? hehehe . I get a kick out of some of the sites that seem to pop up overnight every time a new phone model comes out. The prices are wayyyyyyyy too high as well.

Well case-mate has a rather large list of products, yes they're expensive and bulky but honestly I'll spend the $30 for a case that I can drop because I am that clumsy. I like the Sedio's Active case series, I like the otterbox commuter series cases. I have big pants, I'm willing to spare the room to make sure my phone is protected.
Also Sweet Armor makes me laugh, they charge double the price of everyone else for a quarter of the material.
I posed this because I thought someone like me would like a thicker case.
Got these from Amazon, I ordered two of them for a total of $41.95.
Of all the "heavy duty" cases available for the note, this one seems to be the smallest in terms of bulk.
There's already a review on this here in the forum, but basically it fits great, it looks great, it feels great, and the only complaint I can make about it is that the upper and bottom portions have the Silicone inner case exposed, and we all know those things are dust magnets and don't fit snugly like a TPU does. I wish the polycarb hardcase wrapped around both of those ends.
I got another case and a bit bored, so might as well post pictures of this if anyone out there was curious about clear cases on this phone. It's been a very long time since I had a clear case, but I thought it would look well with the white Note 3. I actually like it. For now until it gets dirty. I like it better than the Spigen Bounce case. Both do feel different in the hand because the Bounce case has a fully matte texture. Both are slim.
Pros
- Border/Bumper is TPU
- Back side is hard poly carbonate/plastic
- Holes/ports match up
- Buttons are easy to press
- Looks good on white (I don't have a black one to check out)
Cons
- Back side can get scratched
- If it gets dirty inside the case, it'll show.
- If your phone is dirty, it'll show.
I got it on Amazon, just copy the title of this topic and search it there.
EDIT:
I'll just post a link, might as well.

Thanks for the pics. I tried going without a case for a few hours today because I like the look so much but I was afraid I'd drop the phone. This may fit the bill.
Edit: Hm, I could only find the black and clear but it's unavailable. OP how much was it?

Thanks. I agree about the scratches. I already see some because I was spinning the case when trying to take pictures, but if you have a white phone, it's hard to spot unless you're under direct light or there's a lot of scratches in one area. It's probably easier to see with the black version.
Just got mine yesterday also. I agree with the OP review and will say the case is better than I expected for $10. Samsung makes a case very simaler to this one for Note 2, S4, etc. It's a little bit better, waiting for the Note 3 version to eventually come out...
I almost got that one cuz I want to be able to see the phone but opted for a gel one, should be here in a day or two and we can compare em.

I got this last Thursday and I am glad I did when I went to best buy Friday to get the note 3 they had zero cases. It's a nice case and shows off the back very nicely.
damn pretty much exactly what im looking for but shows unavailable
i ordered mine earlier in the week. out for delivery today hope its nice!!
Well, this case is back in stock, but the prices has been raised unfortunately. I don't think any TPU type of case is worth over $10 unless there are designs on it, but that's just my opinion.
This case isnt that great returned it after, a day the back was scratched . Nice idea poor design or material

Get the one I got for 3 dollars shipped and delivered in 3 days, been using it for a couple of days now and haven't even thought of putting my Caseology back on. I totally forget there is a case on it and can appreciate the looks of the phone plus this is tpu and won't scratch and it is not flimsy in the least. The sell counter on Ebay says its sold close to 500 cases, good to see so many Note 3 owners taking advantage of a good deal.
I just realized it comes in four colors too.

Any clear case will be scratched (I'm not talking about matte frosted cases). There's none that's scratch resistant.

Yup, I figure better the case than the phone! Plus these things are so cheap, if it starts looking really bad after a few months, just throw it away and get something else.
I got the one with the black around it. I like it.

I got one and like it. Nice fit, holes line up for all ports, low profile. I did look closely and notice some very light scratches on the clear back. Guess I'll try something else when the scratches become too visible.
Update: my Luvvitt case looked so scratched up that I ditched it and got a Diztronic Matte Back Black Flexible TPU Case. I've been *really* happy with the Diztronic - great design, lightweight, holds up great, no scratches or marks, and has protected my phone on the few occasions when I dropped it.
I love clear tpu type cases but I find most of them turn yellow after a while so I have to keep buying them.

I got one of these. I also own a bunch of other cases. I thought this case was noticeably heavier than others.

I know this thread is a bit old. Just went to find the clear one and shows out of stock.
I bought one of these, see how it works out:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Samsung...-Transparent-Glossy-Skin-Cover-/201055804367?
Hello everyone,
I wasn't expecting to be writing this so soon if I'm honest. Expected a few more days before I got rang by my wife whilst and work and asked what I'd ordered this time.
So the Orzly Pro-Fit Tempered Glass landed in my hands today (as well as their 5 pack film set, but I'll get to that later) and since we're having issues with the Official OnePlus TGSP it made sense to remove that and get straight into this protector and find out whether it's worth you lot purchasing.
A quick disclaimer I'm writing this after applying the glass and using it for a few hours. I will keep you updated in the comments below over the next week on how it holds up.
So, how does this differ to the Official 3D screen?
- Unlike the official 3D screen, Orzly have opted for adhesive on the sides and the top but not in the middle. This was an issue with their V1 screen last year as the Dot Matrix and Oil slicks were an absolute nightmare, less so with V2. After spending a few hours with this one, I can already tell they've made some significant improvements. It feels more premium than the OP3 screen did, I can't see the dot matrix under my house lighting at all and no oil slicks.
- They have incorporated cut outs for the front facing camera and sensors. The official one just has clear glass over them.
My verdict: Buy this one.
I haven't tested many yet (infact just the official and this) but if the choice is between the two like it was last year, this one wins for me. It doesn't cut into your screen and it seems like it'll work with most cases as the fitting of it is very good.
It's also a TON cheaper than the official one and its a twin pack.
Where can I buy?
As far as I'm aware they sell on the various local Amazon sites. Two of the big ones I use are Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk
Take a look at my video here if you want to see it in more detail:

No worries
Great video as usual! Thanks for sharing this! Glad I didn't pay the £18 for the official one after all the bad reports on it, waiting for my orzly one to come now!
I hope I will be able to fit it in this case

@niijonodhg you just saved me $30, thanks! I subscribed to your channel, too
Thanks for this, just confirmed what I was hoping. Another quailty product from Orzly. I still can't fathom why OnePlus made such a terrible screen protector and charged people more for it.

dodged a bullet there, thanks mate :good:
Hmm says won't deliver till July 20th +
Thanks!!! I'll give it a try.
I bought a clear one off amazon before this one was available. It should be here by Friday. If it fits and looks as good as yours, i'll provide a link. If not, I'll buy this one. Thank you for the review!

Be sure to let people know when you try it,. According to what the actual manufacturers are saying about them though, they have written the following...
PLEASE NOTE: The Pro-Fit Glass Screen Protector is designed to work with Orzly Cases for the Oneplus 5. We cannot however guarantee its compatibility with OnePlus 5 cases from other manufacturers
This doesn't mean that it won't fit another case, but it does mean it's risky. So probably a good idea is if anyone on here tries different cases with this screen protector that we let as many people know on here which ones fit with it versus which ones didn't, as that may be our only way to truly guage this. The Orzly screen protector definitely seems like the only tempered glass screen protector that works well with the phone, so whatever I do I'm going to need to base my case around what works with that, so the more info I could get on this, the better. (I'll probably just get one of orzly 's cases anyway at first just to be sure, but would be nice to know what all the options are for later on (if there are any)

I'm planning on making another video, just as soon as a bunch of cases arrive! But if someone else can get to it sooner, then please do!
Thanks a lot for the video. Nice to hear it doesn't cut into the sides of the screen like others. What's your opinion on how deep the fingerprint scanner feels in the cutout?
Seems that Orzly is shipping them from the UK... found a similar one that ships from the united states - https://www.amazon.com/s?keywords=Oneplus+5+Screen+Protector&hidden-keywords=B07378RSWD. I've used amfilm a lot before- never any issues at all.

I've not really noticed it, the cut out is slightly wider than the the fingerprint sensor so leaves a good gap around it.

I had a small issue with the amFilm TGSP for the Nintendo Switch not staying on the Switch properly under heat. But other than that it was reasonably OK.

I've heard that that is from the dock. My son has the Switch and we had that issue. They sent a free replacement that worked for him. Might be worth sending an email.
So Orzly is better because it dont cut the screen like OP official tgsp?
For me i think Oneplus own is better because adhesive on entire visible part, even when it comes about 0.3mm top of sides. I have used Orzly products many years. V2 for OP3T was disappoined mostly thanks to glue on borders only. Screen wont look that clear as with tgsp with full adhesive or without tgsp at all. Also oil slick can come because adhesives only on sides. It depends how greatly you clean your screen.
