Listmates,
Casemate makes a case from my iPhone days that would hold a couple of credit cards on the back of the phone, eliminating my need for a wallet most days. Anyone making one for the Amaze?
Thanks.

Brilliant! Than when someone loses their phone, they also lose their credit and possibly their identity. I'm sure it makes the phone feel less bulky also. They're probably all sold out... ;D

Actually... PDair/Monaco (same product, different company branding) makes some leather cases that contain slots for cards.

If you're interested in black leather cases, this may be the solution for you.

Piker response! I take pretty good care of my 600 dollar phone, thank you very much. If I lose my credit card, I get them replaced for free, and the phone as well. The convenience of not having to stuff a phone, a trucker wallet and my handgun in my pocket is worth the minimal risk.
Seriously, I haven't lost my phone or my wallet ever. Adding a credit card and drivers license to the back of my big ol smartphone is minimal bulk.

Lucky bastard! That thing is awful.
I found this iPhone case on DealExtreme. Cost me only $1.68, shipping included. Cheap one to use in the gym. Couldn't fit any better, has fleece on the inside and feels overall hundred times better than the original one. I strongly recommend it even though it has a really ugly logo on it.
iphone? don't use such foul language in these forums
I would of given it free but it went in the bin after about a week.
i've got a new unopened one you can havw for £10 + p+p. let me know

Yes, always free shipping. I often buy gadgets, cables and stuff like that from them. Doesn't get any cheaper than this.
i used the original case for few days, then itz all covered by my cat hair:<

Oh! again. How many times I have told that one who care for his things cares for himself. This time I am not going to suggest good things replacement. Rather as you dont care loose this HD also and buy new one you get free case.
Dont ask me where you get only cover. Learn to care.
No! dont look at my HD case or ever imagine I am going to suggest good things now on.
May god bless your HD and you.

I picked up one of THESE on ebay.
I prefer this style to the velvety black original one that came with the phone. It's also a bit thicker and the rib around it adds some drop tolerance to the phone when it's in the case.
This is a lot like the one that came with my Elf when I got that.

I rather like the case provided. It just works. My only gripe is that it does attract fluff and stuff.
Having said that, I am awaiting HTC's silicon case. I'll be comparing the two, then making my mind up which to stick with.
Arrr, lost mine too. Actually quite liked it. Does anyone want to sell me theirs cheaply? Not £10 though, I'll get HTCs official case for that.
£5 inc p&p for an as new condition?

Hi,
I have a spare original if you still need one.
Pm Me if interested.
Nogs
pay for the postage and buy me a pint and ill send you mine
although i cant imagine why anyone would want the damn awful thing, offers no protection, looks cheap and the stylus falls out everytime you remove the HD from it
but mines sat here on the shelf if you want it.
first to reply in here gets it as i dont want shed loads of pm's saying "is it still available"!!!! lol
I use the original case to take the fingerprints off the screen!!!! it works perfect!!!!
Does anyone still have one of these? Willing to pay pp and a bit extra.
Has anyone gotten a look at the Best Buy case that comes free with the Note pre-order?
I was wondering if there is a screen protector included. I'm going to assume there is none unless someone has seen one.
Assuming it's the same as the international (which I believe it is), I don't see a screen protector.

Thanks for the link, that was the worst review ever, but it was good to see what I'm getting. It looks very similar to the pics on BB. I really want a rugged case(i.e. Ballistic, Trident, Otterbox). But I'll take what I can get.

Best Buy rep
I stopped by best buy and asked the rep if the case would support NFC she looked at me like a deer in headlights and had no idea what NFC was she got another rep and asked him and he said NFC is on the Note but does not work yet I I told him I knew that already and wanted to know if the free case worked with NFC since the antenna for it is on the back of the case that comes with it he had no idea and asked his manager 15mins later the manager came out and said he had no idea yet he would think it would but could not say for sure since they aren't here yet he tried to find more info on his computer but found nothing so Best Buy doesn't even know yet the free case isn't turning out to be that much of a plus anymore.
The fact it's a flip case basically eliminated any interest I might have had in the BB deal for the Note. I can understand having a flip case for a tablet....but for a phone, I would find it as a hassle. I'm still gonna settle for a regular case, most likely a TPU one.

We got no info on the actual flip case from corporate. It was a deal struck with samsung and bby corporate and has nothing to do with the retail level associates. Right now they are sitting in a warehouse waiting for distribution. Im sure they will be in before release. If they are there by wednesday I can give everyone a definite answer. After that Im on vacation
I doubt these were made for the ATT model. If they are the ones that were already made, it will not work as the nfc is not in the back like the ATT model.
One the bright side it was free and nfc is not yet enabled.

Same here. Flip case with a pen device just screams of the original Palm PDA devices.
No way I can bring myself to use one of those again.

The people at Best Buy Mobile are way beter than the people at Best Buy they let me know my Note was in although the free Flip case was not they still could not tell me if it has the NFC contacts on it since they have not seen them but were very nice even though I have been pestering them for days guess I just have to wait and see don't know if I should get a case off internet that has the NFC contacts or wait till the free flip case is in

I played with one at AT&T for about 20 minutes today and I really didn't like the flip case on it. It felt very cheap. I've played with another one from someone's international Note and it was much sturdier. I hope the one Best Buy gives out is more solid, but I got a feeling its not.

Felt like cheap cardboard to me. Like I could have easily bent or snapped it. The one I played with for the international note had hard plastic and looked nice as well. Hopefully the best buy one will be like the international one and not the cheap crap I saw at the AT&T store.
I'm going on vacation this summer and wanted to start thinking about a case for the note.
I am going to Universal Orlando and also to the Bahamas. So think theme parks, roller coasters, waterparks, and snorkeling.
I know this isn't an iphone and we don't have the same options that they do, but anyone have any ideas about this?
TIA
Based on your vacation description, this is a tricky situation.
I forget that company that can 'water-proof' certain phones...but I'm not even sure about their overall work quality.
Normally, I would say just use a thin TPU kind of case. But in your case, I would probably look for a more bulky kind of case that offers more protection.
However, if I was you, I would bring along an older backup phone that can be considered more "disposable"...if you do have 1. But if you prefer to bring the Note, basically the main thing you can do is to be careful with it.

I picked up a Samsung Rugby II off Craigslist for trips to the Keys. Saved me more than a few times.
Well I start a new job in the next couple of weeks where I can't bring my cell phone into the facility, but I also get an upgrade in August. I'm not going to be able to use my phone for 60% of my awake time but all the sexy new phones are sitting pretty. SGSIII, DInc 4g... etc. Is anyone else in this situation of very limited use of phone? I'm trying to justify paying an exta 30 bucks a month for data I'm not gonna use. I also have a tablet so it's not like I'm dropping our android friend.
Well, if you don't run into a lot of situations outside home where you need data access, then I would say it isn't worth it. Also, what kind of job doesn't allow cell phones? That seems a little extreme, so curious behind the reasoning.
I'm a contractor and when we do jobs for the state (Prisons), no cell phones are allowed inside. It really sucks lol.

well I'm a mechanical engineer and this place is a US navy contractor... they have just a tiny bit of security. Mainly its due to the fact that there is a camera on every phone nowadays.

Thats about where I will be. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna keep smartphoning it up because it has become just as much of a hobby as it has been a practical useable device.
who have ordered in tmo store online and received their unit box sealed like tmo local store unit? the first time i ordered online i receive my device in a box that is not sealed. they just place 2 tmobile sticker to hold the box cover. when i open my unit there was a dent and scratch on the back so be aware. make sure when you receive a unit when ordered online, the unit must be sealed otherwise the unit you will be getting is a returned from someone nor refurbished.
just sharing..
PLEASE RETURN YOUR PHONE... do not accept a phone if is not sealed. thats an used one for sure ....contact tmobile and tell them they sent you a used phone when you paid for a new one ...
the box is supposed to be covered in transparent plastic...

every one of us has our own preference about build quality. me i want it just like the way they advertise the device. money doesn't grow on trees.
it doesn't matter if you use case it will not make the gap disappear, it will be there and you know it. and if you're ok with a minor defective device well that's fine with me, that is your device not mine. i just want my earned money to be worth spending on the device.

Its advertised as "zero gap" construction but I agree that people are too anal about it. People sending back all these devices are going to make it very difficult for carriers to replace them if it keeps up.

operating system can be fix by updates.. it is actually zero gaps because it is a unibody device.. everything need to be flawless. people care because they want their money to be worth on spending.what if that gaps will get worse its getting older? what are you gonna do? send it to htc to get it fix? if you are ok with you device with minor issue then that is fine.sharing this to anyone who care not to anyone doesn't care.
Mine wasn't sealed. Just had two stickers holding it shut. The bag it came in was sealed though. It had the sticky cover over the phone and nothing was missing and the phone was in perfect condition.

Ummm... Pretty sure most carriers ship in open boxes - how else do you think they get the required SIM card in there? All phones I've ever gotten from T-Mobile, going all the way back to the Sidekick II, were just sealed with a sticker.
Same thing with at&t
Same with Sprint
Same with Verizon
And Sprint didn't even use SIM cards back then.

Please search on the Internet how carriers put their SIM cards inside the box and you will see how it works ... And today a tmobile representative confirmed all new htc one comes with the box covered in plastic , if is not covered, the phone is reburbished... I wish i had the conversation saved. So i could show it to you
.. There's no body complaining ... We are just giving information
