Looking for "floppy" hinged flip case. - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Hello,
I'm having trouble finding a flip case that isn't so stiff it won't fold properly. I'm looking for something with a loose hinge and preferably that doesn't stick out past the edge of the phone.
I liked my nexus 10 flip case so much I decided to get one for my Note 3... Turns out the official +"non" S-View one is stiff as can be. You can hold the phone out flat with the cover open and it's almost parallel with the phone.
It looks like there was an older version of the official S-View case that might have been this way. However, it doesn't look like this is available anymore.
This is the sort of case I'm looking for.
Any help would be great. Thanks.

How is that similar to the Nexus 10 cover?
like this

I was actually going to recommend the case that stoney73 recommended too as well. Maybe because I read the word hinged.

iGet Folio Case - works with AT&T?

There's a decent looking folio on Amazon for $12.95 but it doesn't specify if it works with the AT&T note. Any idea if it's fully compatible? Have any if you guys tried this case out?

Can you link it? The only difference between the AT&T and the other note is the lack of the physical button on the screen. If it doesn't have any screen protection it shouldn't be an issue.

I just took a look at that - there isn't a screen protector or anything else that interferes with the soft keys, so it should be fine. Looks like it just has a plastic mold that snaps on to the device (like a slim TPU case).
Thanks for the replies. Unfortunately I can't easily post a link as I'm typing this up on my Tab using the XDA app, sorry.
As stated above, it's a snap-in case, so no front button molding would interfere. I think I'll go ahead and order it. I'll report back with my opinion of it!

Wallet Flip Case

I was looking for a wallet flip case similar to this one...http://www.ebay.com/itm/Flip-Leather-Wallet-Case-Cover-Card-Holder-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-i9300-T999-i747-/290738025419?_trksid=p5197.m1992&_trkparms=aid%3D111000%26algo%3DREC.CURRENT%26ao%3D1%26asc%3D14%26meid%3D1821906407524500591%26pid%3D100015%26prg%3D1006%26rk%3D1%26
I have one of these for my GS3 and love it. These are easy to find for the GS3 but not easy to find for the EVO 4G LTE. Anyone seen one similar? I have seen some that flip up and some that are actual cases to put the phone in (like on a belt clip), but nothing with opening to the side like a book. Please help! Thanks.
*wonders what you look like when talking on the phone
I'd actually really like this. I dug around a bit and did manage to find what looks like the same case but designed for the EVO. Problem is, it's still on alibaba and is bulk order only.

Sent from my LTEVO
saw one of these cases in Nashville, at a kiosk in the mall. It seemed to be made out of the fake leather that peels and rubs off. The kiosk was called Cellaris, they have a website but its not on there.
I've always really wanted something like this. As long as the phone easily comes out which it looks like it does. Hope in someone finds some of these!

It does flip open, and has 2 Credit card slots.. It also has hole on back for taking pics without taking the phone out of the case. Option for belt clip is included as well as the clip..

Could you post a link for that one? Here's a links for some I found on amazon:
Deluxe Folio Ultra Wallet Leather Case:
Black
Red
Pink
Cyan... (I think)
Orange
Clutch (limited stock but I'm sure you can find more.
Another Clutch (this one just shows a GS3 but I'm sure it would work.
With all that said... I don't really like any of these styles, with the clutches obviously not being male friendly. Maybe it's a sign though that we'll start getting some more of this stuff.

Looks really nice. It seems kinda thick... how do you link it?
I'm looking for one of these as well. However, it seems as if everything I find is either extremely feminine or bulky. Looking for something plain and slim and black. SG3 has tons. EVOLTE not much.
Sent from my PG86100 using xda app-developers app
Yep, I love the one I got for my gs3. It's not bulky at all and I was quite surprised by the quality of it. Even the magnet is nice and strong . I had forgotten I posted this and glad I came back because the amazon links above are exactly what I wanted. Thanks everyone!
its not healthy to keep your phone in your pocket close to your reproductive organs
just saying
electromagnetic waves does alot of damage. it can cause low sperm count and even cancer

Flex from mini suit tpu

I was afraid that cases for this phone was going to add bulk and change the look. Bought this case from mini suit from ebay is really nice and cheap price its very thin tpu that also has matte back to so the phone kinda looks original still. the mattes a little slippery though. Has glossy sides that cover up the red though. I usually always have my phones naked cuz i like them slim but the dna has a little give for a case. I never drop my phones but i dropped this one from my pocket face flat on tile with the case and thought the worst because the front screen lip is very very low (which i like) but i got lucky and it didnt shatter, sounded like it did though . I recomend this case for people that like minimal protection to keep thyre phones like new . Also has matte lnside so i feel more comfortable that it wont scratch the phone.

Thanks, saw that one already though. Only seller available is charging $15 (after shipping) which is more than I'm willing to spend compared to $4 for the others. I ended up just ordering a clear one.
Is anyone willing to sell me their Flex mini suit case? They are no longer available online but I really want this case.
This case is the best in "slim" class. My recommendations.

I was actually referring to the Flex Minisuit case but thanks anyways.

why the lack of high end cases?

Why has otter box, balistic and Trident decided to ignore the E970? I mean hell the Atrix HD at least got an otter box. I figured when I got this phone that I could get an otter box for it since it was glass on both sides. But good lord this is horrible. I'm using a snap around plastic case that came with my order thats better than nothing, but still... Do we need to start a petition or somting?

Carrier specific versions tend to get fewer accessories, this phone has different dimensions from international ver.

There's plenty of flip cases on eBay, but it's too bulky to carry around. Also hard to hold when talking on the phone

I couldn't find a Slim flip case fo OG like the ones available for S3/S4 and note.
However I had seen something resemling a case similiar to that.
BTW , the cases generally available and the ones which I was talking about were the poetic flip cases , which add a lot of bulk , or as it appears from the pics. But it feels like this will protect it from serious damage.
Some of the goo cases I found :
1. Expensive one . : http://www.ebay.com/itm/LG-Optimus-...t=US_Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&hash=item3a89128e21
Here is the one I was willing to order at the end of this month. ; -

The second link actually looks good, ill probably get a white one.
The iMak cases are... Very foreign. And your phone attaches to it with adhesive instead of any clips. I used one for awhile and the case started breaking apart after a few months.

Skinomi for the Note 3

Anyone have any experience with these? There is a 60% off code ENDOFTHE2013 so I'm wondering if anyone has had experience with these. Link-

I bought a full body kit for my note 3. I only used the back part since only bumpers fit with the s charging cover. No regrets. Can't comment on side protection and don't really recommend the screen protector because I prefer dry protectors.

Yes. About the same grippyness as the back itself just different material. And a bear motion bumper. Still haven't dropped my phone.

I don't like skinomi protectors on anything with a pen input. It just doesn't slide well. Back protection, sure. Sides, sure. Screen? No way.
The only one I did like with the pen input was the HTC view and that had a different stylus.
I've had skinomi for my note 10, note 8, and a bunch of phones. They work well on the phones (S4, s3, droid razr etc) but with the s-pen it felt terrible. Constantly dragging and digging into the skin. Just not an enjoyable experience.
When I initially installed the protector on my note 10, I gave it two days to settle before using it, and it wasn't enough. I had to leave the thing sit for over a week before it was acceptable and that's not something I have the luxury of doing with my phones. I had even contacted customer support and they were the ones to suggest letting it sit for at least a week before using.
I could assume it was just the amount of solution used, but I've used skinomi products enough to know what I'm doing and I won't waste my time using them for anything with pen input now.
I bought 2 of the skinomi clear ones during the sale. Thanks for the fyi. I just installed the sides and the back one for the camera and use a tempered glass for the front. So far I like it and it gives the phone better side grip. Although I probably wouldn't have bought it if it was regular price however. It would be nice if they just sold the sides and the camera one separately.
