I found an M Edge 7" tablet case at Walmart recently (~$20). Has a rotating standing for portrait or landscape positioning, as well as two viewing angles. Nice case but one issue, the four rubber retaining straps that stretch over each corner are positioned such that they can push down both the power and one of the volume buttons while in use. This has caused my NT to go into Safe mode (perplexed why it did this until I figured this out).
Anyone with either a better case option, or a solution to this issue. The straps are molded into the case so there is no adjusting them.

Staples sells an M-edge case that works really well. It doesn't have any stands or the such, but it zips up and has the same clear, plastic corner brackets that the B&N cases have. I really like mine, it holds the NT pretty tight and doesn't mess with any of the buttons.

FWIW, I bought this case from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Lea...ablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item43ac3a9691 and it works great.

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?)

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.

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

Here's a Flip case that would most likely not interrupt your skin.

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...

I got these symptoms after a couple of days usage. I contacted the dealer and got a substitute with Capsule Stand Slide Series - White / Lime
When I got my Note off CL came with the Eel leather case. It's slick but I wish it was the capsule.

I found an M Edge 7" tablet case at Walmart recently (~$20). Has a rotating standing for portrait or landscape positioning, as well as two viewing angles. Nice case but one issue, the four rubber retaining straps that stretch over each corner are positioned such that they can push down both the power and one of the volume buttons while in use. This has caused my NT to go into Safe mode (perplexed why it did this until I figured this out).
Anyone with either a better case option, or a solution to this issue. The straps are molded into the case so there is no adjusting them.
I have a m-edge case that I find really useful. It opens like book and zips shut. The best aspect is the way it mounts the NT, it has plastic brackets similar to the B&N cases. I will post a link latter.
Edit: Here is the link, I like this case mostly because it has a tight fit and doesn't interfere with any of the buttons.

Just got my cover in the mail today. Unfortunately it leaves a bit gap at the bottom where the USB port is. Anyone else got this cover and have the same issue? Also the buttons are a bit stiff.

Yes, mine is pretty similar.
I can live with it, it is quite a decent case for the cash and I like the stiffer buttons as they help to prevent 'pocket presses'

Ah! OK that's interesting to know. My main concern was it being a weak point during a drop (like if something hitting it square on the front edge). It's a shame it's not just a little more snug fitting as it would be perfect otherwise. The main reason I got this case instead of a standard TPU is so I can put the metal plate for my magnetic car phone holder behind the plastic back which works really well. I do notice when putting the USB cable in the phone can shift slightly up and down in the rubber housing. It's just a fraction longer than it should be. I have also ordered the Brotect screen protector after trying some other brand that is absolute carp! I am waiting on a refund for those (ordered 3 of them in case I messed up the first). I also have an issue with garbled voice on calls but not sure if that is down to my network or not yet.
Also the lack of accessories is rather depressing.
But that's what happens when you don't follow the iPhone/Samsung crowd.
Fun and games eh?

Good idea for the use of the removeable plate.
Yes, bit disappointing about accessories - but the phone is great.
I have a Nillkin hardcase and a Nillkin flip case too - both really good and much slimmer fit than the J&D, but they offer less protection, so I will stick with J&D for now
I have the Incipio version of that case style, it fits great.

How thick does this make the phone
I'm looking for a case that attaches at the four corners and has a raised lip/bumper at the top and bottom of the phone to protect the screen when the phone is face down. Attaching at the corners provides drop protection since those are the most vulnerable spots on impact and being recessed at the sides will add minimal bulk when holding and using the phone without getting in the way of sliding in from the edges. In a nutshell, like the S7 edge cases, but for my S7 regular. I've spent hours browsing amazon, ebay, google and searching through forums and I'm hoping someone knows of a case with these features.
Starting from my Nexus 4, then my Sony Z3, then my G4, I've always had to settle or customize (cut) cases but I'm hoping I don't have to do that for the S7. Does anyone know of a case like I described?
Thanks!
Hi, I'd be interested in this too. I've done a lot of research but with no luck either. I suspect nothing like this exists for the S7.
I emailed Spigen and got this response.
Currently, we do not have definite plans to have cases with recessed sides for other cases.
However, we will definitely consider your interest and pass it along to our developers! Thank you for the suggestion.

I didn't get my hopes up. I'll continue to keep my eyes out, but have ordered the VRS Design Verge from amazon now. At $7, I don't mind cutting into it. The polycarbonate is recessed on the sides, even though the gpu doesn't. I'll be taking an exacto knife to it as seen below. I'll probably see how well the buttons still work and then try cutting it deeper to where I'll be accessing the original phone's volume/power buttons. I'll post pictures as I go along for anyone interested.
After trying over 10 branded cases my vote goes to Look at this on eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/262301410361
The Turata Slim Fit case has a minimal lip, but does not satisfy your criteria because it still covers the left and right edges:
