[review] TRYIT leather flip case w/ stand - AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717

Hey all. I purchased the TryIt black leather flip case with the stand about 2 weeks ago off ebay $44.69 shipped. I honestly didn't like it at first but it has grown on me. It takes a while to get used to holding the phone with the case cover flipped back. My only real complaint is the sturdiness of the kick stand. Looking at the pictures on ebay, i thought the kick stand was metal. It actually is a cheap plastic stand that snaps off really easily. A little bit of pressure makes it come off, luckily it snaps back into place. The genuine leather gives it a nice feel. The ID/credit card slots are convenient. However, it can only hold up to 4 cards comfortably. The fitment of the case hugs the note perfectly with all holes aligned. Surprisingly it doesn't add much bulk. Enough rambling...now for the pics:

That's a bummer about the kickstand. How is the call quality with with the case closed and how easy is it to remove from the case itself?

call quality is fine with the case closed. i was thinking the caller would sound muffled, but they actually sound clear. removing the case seemed quite difficult at first, but after doing it several times, you get used to it. at first it seems like you will break the clip on liner but it actually is really durable.

I'm really digging the look of this case. How much was it?

I'm thinking of ordering the non-flip version of this case. Does the top bezel touch the surface of the display at all? It looks like it only touches the sides. I want to add a Glas.t screen protector, but I don't want the case to touch it.
Also, how much size and weight does this add? Would you consider this a slim case (without the flip cover)? Thanks.

top bezel does not touch the surface. you will be fine if you order the glass screen protector.
it doesnt add much weight at all. i would consider it a slim case if it is the one without the flip cover.

Thanks. Does the bezel all you to place the phone face down without the display touching the table? It looks like the bezel might be slightly raised above the level of the display (not once the glas.t protector is on, though).

the bezel is slightly raised, but its like half a mm. i still feel like the screen touches the table when on its face. i wouldnt recommend having the face down with this case.

I'm still thinking of getting this case. How is your holding up? Also, have you ever tried the Elago G4 or Rearth Ringke Slim? I'm curious how much thicker this case is over the others.

the case is holding up pretty well. i haven't tried any other cases other than this one so far. i am actually thinking about purchasing the seido active case with the kickstand. i did have my first drop a couple weeks ago. i was in my car with the door open and it slipped out of my jacket pocket. when it hit the ground it actually popped out of the case. luckily it wasnt too high off the ground. there was no damage to the phone since it was in the case when it hit, but when it popped it, it did slide a couple inches. i can confirm that this case is not made for drop protection.

I have the Samsung flip case, using it now, not sure to keep it. It's so unconvinced compare to my non-flips one. What the better way to use it? hard to hold unless fold the flip all the way to the back, take extra time to "open the case" .... Grrrr

just purchased the mugen power extended battery. pm me if you are interested in this case since i dont need it anymore.
