Just received this case in the mail today and had to get some pics of it right away. This is a very well made case. It is a TPU case with a hard plastic cover attached to the back of it. It has a nicely textured design on the back. The sides have a bit of a recess to make it easy to grip and good protection at the corners. All cutouts on top, bottom, and for camera are perfect. The hard plastic back has a slightly raised X shape for better strength. The case works great with the film screen protector that I am using. This case has a pretty square shape on the back sides, it doesn't show the tapered side edges of the phone do to how it's made. The inside is fitted to the edges though. When the phone is resting on the back you can make it wobble, this is do to the raised Poetic "P" emblem that is raised. My Samsung wireless fast charger works well with this case too.The Poetic brand of cases seem to be very well made, with what appears to be great protection in thinner designs, while being stylish and a decent price. This is my second Poetic case as I have their Affinity also.

I recently purchased Mercury Leather Wallet Case from ebay (Link).
I bought a no-name leather flip case from a local shop (I tried to find the same one on ebay for reference, but failed), and it was very nice case. Good quality leather with little padding. BUT, it didn't have any protection at the top and bottom of the phone. And more importantly, there was a magnet behind the phone on the right side, which interfered with s-pen operation. I started taking out the phone whenever I was home, and then I decided to get a new case.
After searching through sites and ebay, I found this Mercury case. I chose this one because the phone was detachable with a jelly case.
First, the case is not as nice as it looks on the photo. It is not real leather, more like plastic and thin. Stitching is well-done for the most part, but it could be better. The magnet closure is using glue and it is already coming apart. I will have to superglue it or tape it up. It can hold up to 4 credit cards, but it barely closes.
The best part of this case is the jelly case. It is better quality than the usual TPU case. It is slippery to slide in and out of my pockets, but provides good grip in my hands. The phone wiggles just slightly in the jelly case, but a very good fit. On the leather case, there is a silicon-based sticky pad, where the jelly case sticks onto. I have had the jelly case on and off multiple times, but it still holds the case very nicely. If I needed to, I can wipe it with a wet towel to clean it.
And here is the second issue. The cutout for camera/speaker/s-pen is slightly out of alignment. If I align the phone to the cutout, outside edge of the phone is at a slight angle from the leather case. If I align the phone to the outside edge of the leather case, camera is off to the side of cutout. It doesn't affect the camera operation, but it is an issue nonetheless.
For the price, I think it is a very good value, because you also get a very good quality jelly case. When I go out, I stick the phone into the flip case. When I am the office or home, I take it out for easy access to the phone.
Oh, it also came with a screen protector, but I already have one on, so I don't know what it is like.

I just learned that the jelly case included in Mercury Wallet case is exactly the same material as SGP Ultra Capsule Series. I had them side-by-side.
They both seem to be from Korea, so these cases may just have different branding.
Short review of PureGear Kickstand case & holster. Had this case for about a week now and think it is good. Would rate it 4/5.
Pros: Holds phone snug in the case and fits firm in the holster. Holster clip is really sturdy as well. Swivels 180 degrees and has soft suede like interior to help protect screen. Phone slides in face in. Rubberized texture of the case as almost the perfect balance between smooth and friction IMO. I don't like when cases are too rubbery or too smooth. Kickstand is cool. It slides out and down easily. It also snaps into position easily as well and feels sturdy. I don't get a cheap feeling from this case.
Cons: Case only covers the left and right side of the phone. Wish it covered top and bottom as well. Because of this, I sometimes switch to another silicone case that I have when I want more protection. It does cover the corners just enough for protection though. Also, sliding case into holster is a slight pain. There is a lot of friction between the case and holster so you have to use some force to slide phone into holster. I guess this can be considered a pro however since phone will not slide out easily.
Paid $25 for it on Ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/290733237844?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The PureGear website has it for $30. http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-device/samsung/kickstand-case-holster-for-samsung-galaxy-note.html
this is a pretty nice case. it's the Artech 21 Vivid Arkansas Series, Slim Dual Layer case. I got the black/silver one.
it's basically a TPU with a plastic exo on it that wraps all around. it's a tad thicker than most normal TPU's because of this, for example, my Spigen Rugged Armor TPU, and that's a bit thicker of a TPU. but, it feels pretty good in the hand, and the plastic shell on the outside doesn't feel too slippery in the hand or anything.
all cutouts are precise on the bottom, and everything works great. the buttons are pretty easy to push as well, and the case doesn't wrap in front of the phone too much so that it rips up a screen protector.
there's a big lip around the front so you can easily place this phone face down with the case on it, no problem. the case is also thick enough so there's a good amount of thickness around the camera so the camera will never come into contact with the table.
overall, nice little case. feels a bit more rugged than a standard TPU, but it's not huge or anything. i like it!

Got this case yesterday and have been using it for a day now. I will leave it on for now. This case is similar to an Otterbox Defender Series. It is more stylish though. The corners are angled instead of thew typical rounded. This is a thicker/beefier case, so if thin is what you want this one is not for you.
It has a hard plastic inside that the phone goes into, with a built in screen protector. This protects the front and sides.
Then another piece that covers the back and sides again. With the back being plastic and sides a TPU material.
This case is great for those that need the extra protection. The sides have a good texture for great gripping. The built in screen protector is a plus. All buttons are easy to use. It also has a cover over the charging port and earphone port. The cutouts for the speaker, camera and sensors are all exceptional.
I left my Spigen Curved Crystal film screen protector on the phone when installing the case and the touch screen responsiveness is still fine.
I had this for my Note 5 and it was a great case. However I just order it and it's junk IMO. It's more thin the outer layer and doesn't offer a lot of cusion. I'm dissapointed with it. I loved it for the Note 5 but not this time. It's like they went cheap on it.
I ordered this Nillkin case in matte black April 23rd for 12,08€ including shipping. It came today, so delivery was relatively fast considering it was sent from Singapur.
Packaging:
The case came in stable packaging, so it's unlikely to be damaged during shipping. A simple screen protector with a micro fibre cloth is included. Because of the
rounded edges of the N7P it is way too small though, and leaves 3-6 mm of screen unprotected around the edges.
Feel and fit:
It fits the N7P perfectly and the cutouts for microphone, buttons, ports and camera are very precise. Overall it doesn't add too much thickness to the phone
and feels slimmer than the standard case that comes with the N7P. The lower half of the sides and the back of the case are structured and provide good grip.
The cutout around the camera module is slightly taller than the module itself so the camera is protected. While top and bottom of the phone are unprotected,
the edges and sides are completely covered by the case. The sides of the case are the same height as the display. This makes using the phone while in the case
feel more natural but does not offer any additional protection for the screen.
There are some tiny imperfections, like a bump not being perfectly molded as visible on the pictures attached. For the price the build quality is still very solid
though.
Design:
The case is made from a slightly flexible plastic, and the surface is rubberized and matte. The top and bottom of the phone are unprotected, but this way the
copper accents are still visible. The overall color matches the N7P's original finish. Together with the still visible color accents this makes it a pretty subtle case.
The logo in the lower right corner is on the larger side. I would have favoured a smaller, less striking logo.
Conclusion:
For me this is a haptic and visual upgrade from the standard case included by Nokia. I'd recommend it to anyone who doesn't want super rigid protection
and still wants to show off the N7P's design.
Not durable
In my experience with this case (same material for my older phone), it's not actually durable and will start to break in tiny pieces after a few months.
So, if you want to buy a cover for the long run don't buy it, but if you're going to switch cases in the first place then go for it. The fit and feel is really good.
The bundled acreen protector is not an exact fit but it'll have to do for now

I have had a Nilkin case, exactly the same on my LG G2, my Oppo R9s Plus and my Galaxy Note 4 and they all withstood the test of time?
