iRainy S View Flip Cover Case [w/ Auto Wake] - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

So I didn't see any threads for this iRainy case that I found on Amazon. It claims to be a "S View Flip Cover Smart Folio Case for Samsung With Auto Wake Function". I'm thinking about ordering it until my Spigen Neo Hybrid comes in to see what it's about.
I figured I'd start a thread for questions on it and because I figured some people might consider this versus the $60 Official Samsung S View case.

Review (in progress):
First Impressions -
Build Quality: 9
Ergonomics/feel: 8
Functionality: 9
So I want to use it for a week or so before I make my final conclusions, but my first impressions are very high. The build is solid, the functionality is spot on (I was a skeptic as well), and the feel is pretty premium for a replica/generic brand. So far I'm very happy to have spent 9.99 for this.
TL; DR In the pictures you can make note of the main big questions:
1. The IC chip is present and fully functioning.
2. The case is snug but not as drastic as some reviews and people would have you think. I think it's appropriate for the style of case.
3. All S View functions activate (power on) and deactivate upon opening case.
4. The volume up and down indicators are present.
5. S View window is nice and sensitive, s pan tested through screen protector and view window.
More impressions to come as I actually use it. As of today I fully recommend it. Might pick up another color.
{Update 12/04/2013}
Conclusion: So after a few days of using the case. I definitely recommend it. It has held up well. The functionality is spot on and has no issues. The feel and look of the case is pretty nice. The only con really is getting used to the plastic view screen because it can get smudged on the inside and outside. Otherwise, great case.

odd that in one pic they don't have the contacts and in the next they do (irainy one).

ups says mine will be here tomorrow, i will let you know how it works.

Yeah I noticed that as well. The Yesoo one has in all pics. I figured I'd get and if it has I'll report back. If anyone else gets report back with results, color, etc.
Update: just ordered mine in blue!

It's what connects with the Note 3 in order to enable the S-View functions (the little square window, etc.).
Could you please share some more photos, including the whole thing (opened, closed, etc.)?
Thanks in advance.

+1 At $10 this thing is a steal compared to the official Samsung view case... but I need to hear some actual reviews before I go wasting money.

Thay can't ship to Italy

I just bought all the nice colors although I already have the official white s view case, still I spent just half the price of the official case!

On eBay you can also find them. Maybe a bit more ($15), but with free shipping worldwide.

These looks very interesting. I use a TPU case now that fits in my Samsung generic multimedia dock and an iOttie XL car dock. I'd like to know if these cases will fit in these docks when the cover is folded around the back of the phone. Some pictures of one folded back would help.

Are you sure it came with the pin it shows on ebay it doesn't have the pins
Sent from my SM-N900T using Tapatalk

If it's working it has the pins for sure, I got a yesoo one and works great btw and I believe this one here is same in quality pretty decent for the money

Just ordered one of these cases myself. Will update once received.

Mine should hopefully be here today. Will post up some better pics when it gets here.

I ordered one blue and one orange irainy a couple days ago. Now the listing has been changed and the pictures of the orange one show the half orange half yellow design. That's not what I ordered. What recourse do you think I have since amazon tends to side with the customer?

No not really, but waiting almost a month for something un-tested take the excitement out of it. I did find they are selling cheaper on the sellers site but the site is a little sketchy. Will post the link later.
One thing i did notice later is that the volume and power buttons aren't covered. Those buttons take the most abuse so having them covered would be nice. Still, I'm very tempted to buy a case.
My White Neo Hybrid is getting a little brown. I might pick up one of these. Just want a review or something first....

Ok, ordered this one: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax..._1_4?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1334182757&sr=1-4
Estimated delivery May 8 - May 21 - I'll report back in a month...
EDIT: FYI the cost listed (if you buy it through Amazon) includes shipping - that's the total cost on my receipt, and S&H is $0.00
EDIT2: As of this morning, the order has shipped - expected delivery May 21st. So whatever the slowest shipping from the UK is, apparently...
If anyone's wondering, I looked at the website and compared the Amazon listing and their site.
This is the same as this.
It's selling for $14.50 on Amazon, and 9 pounds on their website--which is about $14.30 according to Google. The price from the site does not include shipping, another 2 pounds or $3. Amazon is definitely cheaper, since shipping is free.
These are nice looking. I think I will try one out. Thanks for sharing the link.
Arrived today - 9 days from order date - not bad. Pics attached, sorry for the quality - from a work BlackBerry.
Impressions - good fit, minimal bulk, but it gives better coverage than the Rearth Ringke slim I've been using, and feels like it would handle a drop better. The back plate just lies in the "tray", so I had to adjust it once on, but then seemed snug enough. All the ports and mics are open, buttons are easy to reach. Easy on, easy off - stiff enough I don't think it will stretch. Has a bit of a matte finish feel, so won't slide in and out of pocket as easily as the Ringke, but not sticky. Does hold the camera lens off the table, but the front rim is under the face so it does NOT offer any protection when face down.
My Ringke slim is cracking because I remove it multiple times a day to dock, so I think I will use this as a daily once that dies.
Any other questions?

How thick does it make the phone--I have a Casemate Pop and I absolutely hate it because it makes the phone really chunky and thick.

It's definitely there, but thinner than others I've tried - about like the Casemate barely there. The Ringke slim is the best really thin one out there, I think, but you don't get the coverage...
I can live with this - you can tell you're using a case, but it's not bulky by any means.

Cooler Master TF300 Folio Cover Overview (56k warned!)

Hi all, wouldn't normally post a review of something like this, but I think this is a particularly nice case for the TF300 (tablet only).
Cooler Master are a great manufacturer of mainly PC parts, and when I noticed this on a non-english language site in a review it got me interested.
After a bit of googling, I found it on the Cooler Master Mobile EU site, and it was priced at a whopping €39.99 with €10 delivery! (it worked out at about £45).
Anyway, its available in Silver and Blue (but the blue looks black to me) and I went for the silver.
It is very much like an Apple (boo, hiss) smart cover except that there is no automatic sleep with the TF300. It has a strong magnetic closing, and I would be confident it wouldn't flap open in my bag. It doesn't add too much bulk to the tablet, and feels nice and sturdy. The flap cover feels like it will last a while, and it lets you place it in a couple of useful positions.
With the cover in place and closed, for whatever reason it feels great. I would seriously just walk around with the tablet in the case because of how nice it feels to hold. Really nice and tactile feel with the textured fibre finish, and soft touch plastic.
It is tablet only, but it pops out easy enough to attach to the dock.
I've attached some pics (sorry about quality, light wasn't great in my room), which show off the really nice finish and the carbon fibre texture of this. It is definitely a premium product, and I am happy to use this day to day.

That is a gorgeous case.
You can order one from the Cooler Master website and ship to the US...but it'll cost you about $125 USD

it looks very beautiful on the tf300, i am also planning to get it but dunno if it would ship to hong kong, iv asked the CS if it would or not and the CS asked me for the zipcode of HK which we do not have a zipcode, i told the CS that we dun have such zipcode and the CS hasnt replied any of my questions since then, sigh.....

The item number for the silver and blue covers are:

C-AT3F-CTTF-SS (Silver White)
With these I was able to find a local retailer for about €40 Euro or $53 USD with free shipping
Wow. That looks good. The problem is you will need to take it out of the case in order to dock it on the keyboard wouldn't you. Or is there some way to do that without removing it all?

So am I. The annoying thing is that it easy to achieve with right shape/size cut out along the bottom (hinged) edge. I know because I took one of these from Amazon and cut it out with a craft knife. Not too bad as you can see from my review at that link, but still a bit more bulky and not as pretty as this one. I am not sure if you could do the cut out with this case, but I would not want to at £45, as opposed to the less than £10 I spent

Absolutely. This case is definitely not inexpensive. Still, it is one of the best looking I've seen for our tablet.
Sent from my LG-LG855 using Xparent SkyBlue Tapatalk 2
Actually having looked at the pictures on the Master Cooler website I wonder whether it may be usable with a dock. It appears that the bottom hinge of the front flap starts a a little way up the back rather than right at the bottom. Depending upon how far up it may be possible to still slip the dock on without removing the case. It only needs about 13mm or so from my experience with the cut out on my other case.
Could I ask the OP or anybody else to have a look please and see how far up the hinge does start. Or even better if they have a keyboard dock does it enable it to be used without removing the case??? If so I think I see some more money being spent!
Hmmm... if you don't get an answer in here you can always write the manufacturer.:good:

I just tired it and its doable but requites a bit of wiggling.
The back of the dock is a bit hard to press in between the tablet and the cover but it can be done.

The Black/Black case regularly drops down to 1.77$ at night!!! Just a heads up!!!
I assume the two protrusions on the back are to protect the camera when laying the phone down with its screen up?
Nice. anyone actually got/tried one out yet ?

I ordered mine last Monday and chose the basic shipping and even though it said it wouldnt be here until late next week, it actually went out for delivery today!
Mine showed up today, woudl've got on earlier, but I've been playing the BF4 Beta all day Lol
I had to try different dhl sites for the tracking number to work, I think I searched "dhl global" into google.
I bought this before I was sure that I would buy an N3, and if I did I had something cheap to use right away. I also wanted to see how big it felt in my hands, case and all. (pocket too)
First thoughts:
Looks like it's well designed (or at least the mold for making it was).
It feels fairly thin to medium in the sense that it's not too thick, but not so thin it's too thin to provide protection.
I thought it was 2 seperate pieces, it's one piece, the back being hard and the sides being soft.
I would say that the back is about the thickness of 2 credit cards and the side is about 1 card thick.
Sorry I havent bought the phone yet, or else I would provide pics of it in the case.
I'm glad I bought this and well worth the under $10 shipped price tag.
Color affects the price btw, I think the clear ones were more expensive.
I may cut slots near the finger grips to provide more traction. I have a large case for my s2 that had a kickstand that broke out and left a rectangular hole in the center, it allows me to grab it with my finger tips and stretch my thumb all the way across the screen, without tilting my phone to let gravity keep it in my hand, which would cause the screen to rotate.
Plus the holes will help keep the battery cooler, a bit more important in the desert.
I just got it today, and got to say is pretty nice for the price, don't know why the pics show the name on the case but mine don't have it. Which I thought it would when I ordered it. No biggie.

Lol I'm waiting on the slim armor and paid 6 bucks for this one on the time being. I'm just glad I have a case that fits, I had it in my trident case for my note 1 the last two days, and it barely fit and none of the holes matched.

Purchased the black case a couple of days ago. Got it for ten bucks on amazon.

I need your opinion with different carrying solutions. Hows the china stuff on eBay?

I need to find a way to carry my phone around, especially at work. I work in a bus garage, my work is manual so I don't want the phone to be in any pocket as moving around can get annoying and I might hit my leg somewhere and damage the phone. But also in regular clothes, sometimes this phone is just to much for my jeans.
For me, finding the perfect way to carry this huge phone is the most challenging thing with it, but the size of this phone is my only negative point so I'll find a way around that.
From eBay:
1. Case cover with Holster with belt clip and kickstand:http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-3-Case-Cover-Protector-Rigid-Slim-Holster-Kick-Stand-/171138781224?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item27d8aa9028
2. Heavy Duty vertical belt clip pouch : http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEAVY-DUTY-VERTICAL-BELT-CLIP-POUCH-HOLSTER-CASE-FOR-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-2-N7100-/360649119899
3. Another Holster Belt clip : http://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-3-Rugged-Hybrid-case-cover-with-Belt-Clip-Holster-Bundle-/181230218883?pt=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2a3229ae83
So what are your opinons on these 3? Hows the china stuff with your experience? Should I be worried the belt clip break in half after 2days?
I've tried about 4 different china cases over the years....and 3/4 were garbage...the only decent one I had on my G2. The fit is usually too small/incorrect and i've cosmetically damaged phones in the past using them. Like the old saying goes "Ya get what you pay for." I'm by no means rich and like to save a buck when I can, but do you want to put your $600 baby in a $5-10 carriage?
1st one: I don't like that I don't see and rubber material in the case for shock absorption, just that little fuzzy "velvet" stuff. Bet it will scuff sides of phone too, had one similar before.... PASS
2nd one looks like the case for my leatherman. PASS
3rd one looks like a trident knockoff, but has the rubber/hard plastic combo that seems to work best. One thing I can't see is how big of a "lip' sticks out above screen. This is important for face-down falls. Without a good rubber lip like the Trident/otterbox cases, you WILL have damage.
Good luck and let us know how it turns out....
I've had mixed results with China cases over the years. I was suprised by the one I got for my Note 2. It was cheap, durable, and did exactly what I wanted. With my original Note I went through 2 or 3 cases before I got a good one.

The majority of cases probably originate in China. I ordered #3 from your list and it should be here soon, so I can take pictures and let you know about the quality. From another auction, it shows that the lip that surrounds the screen is rather large, almost as much as an Otterbox Defender. I saw the same case on Amazon for $20, and there are a few sellers that have them less than $10 on eBay. I've also ordered a Spigen NeoHybrid because it offers the protection I need, but hopefully the corners won't pop off and crack the case near the charging port like my S4 case did.

Please, let me know how it turns out.
I'm also very interested to know how well the belt clip holds as well as the build quality of the material use for the belt clip itself, something always overlooked in product description and reviews.

I have one coming in next week hopefully. If no one has done it, I'll post a quick review. I think people should hold if they can when buying this case from China. Let other experiment to see if it works correctly.

I ordered a knock off s-view for my S4 from alixpress and the s-view functions worked perfectly for me

What case you will be using?

I just got in contact with RhinoShield and unfortunately they won't be making a case for XZ Premium.
Anyone recommends any good alternatives?
I ordered the Sony Style Cover Stand; SCSG10.
I'll let you know if I like it when I get my phone next week.
I will stick to a clear jelly case, i ordered the chrome version and i cannot wait to get it. Sony stile cover doesn't have that much protection for the sides, i like something that completely covers the sides and back, and for the screen a tempered glass is a must.

I have ordered two in UK, don't have them or the phone yet, but within a couple of days I will have, and If I don't like the phone I can return it, but I hope I keep it.

Let me know how that case is please. I ordered 4 different cases and they all sucked (didn't seal around the phone, lips detached from phone)

Would you please share your experience with the case. I haven't decided what to get yet.
A little bit on the bulky side but whatever...

All the cases out at the moment suck.

https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0724ZZYQB got the one with black edges, looks to be best for what's available at the moment.
User reviews photos look great
EDIT: This case was garbage, returning it
Search armor-X. They have all sorts of adapters to clip on
I have ordered the original sony style case.
Unfortunately it does not have a window, like I have had on my Z5C.
It seems like the notification led is also not visible when the cover is closed.
Maybe I will make a hole to see the LED.
New Ringke Fusion cases are on pre-order now. I've ordered the grey one. Hopefully it looks good on the Deapsea Black

Same here, I went for a transparent gel cover, add a few mm to the phone, but protect it from scratch, finger smudges and make it less likely to slip out of hand... £10.00 well invested... Bonus, I can still enjoy the beauty of this phone.
1st I've used this: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XK56YL4/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
=> It was not so good, because the buttons are under the case and the cam-button must be pushed hard.
Now I'm using this: https://www.deindesign.de/de/shop/d...sony-xperia-xz-premium/fussball/bvb-holzoptik
(Don't look at the logo ) It' really good, all buttons are free.
I'm waiting for this: https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B06XCX2BXN/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
My team mate have this case for his OnePlus 3 and for me this case is the best.

I bought the Moko case for my XZP, but notice that on the top and bottom the fit isn't great. Also I've read in other forums, reviews that the case doesn't offer much drop protection. Having used Ringke cases for Z3 and Z3C - they're far more reliable for drops, I ordered one Ringke now.
The Moko case looks good and is nice to hold though.

got mine today, it is awesome. best case so far and ive tried like 5 of them now. the Ringke is a keeper, very good quality and the customer service was very fast when I ran into a issue. It also comes with a film for the back of your phone so it wont bubble/rainbow like the other similar case out there without the dust plugs.
also it matches the deepsea black perfectly
Has anyone got this case? It looks like it is exactly what I am searching for, but I don't know how well it fits the phone.

The terrapin cases are simply the best for Sony devices. The most classy and offers the best protection. And it's made out of real leather too.
I can recommend it to all of you.
Costs only 15 bucks.
Don't worry there's a hole on the back of the case for camera and sensors.
