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.

The aluminum bumper wasn't doing it for me so I was looking around and I found this case. The colors are pretty subtle and calm. I'll update this with a review / pics of the case on when I receive it. I just wanted to share this case with you because it just looks so nice.

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.

Case: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JW7AYYE/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
I purchased this case from amazon. With the thought in-mind that I could create my own graphics for the frosted back. The materials for the case are as expected, and seem to have a nice quality and feel to them. The black rubberized area around the perimeter of the case doesn't seem to get in the way of any charging, headphones, or the ir blaster, everything seems to work well.
The frosted back has a noticeably different texture and hardness than the rubberized perimeter. Overall the case doesn't add much by way of bulk or size to the phone, and the ability to create your own graphics is wonderful. Great case, I'm immensely satisfied!
I've attached a number of photos showing some random designs I've created using some random stuff from google images, and attached a zip with the photoshop template to create your own. Enjoy!

Very nice. Creative.
Definitely a solid case, although I find the hard edges of the case change the feel of the phone in my hand a bit too much for preference. Makes it more angular rather than super slim and curved. That said, I may not be able to resist slapping the Supcase back on with a custom design once in a while!
Thanks for sharing the template!
I also have this case and can confirm it is great quality and feels nice in the hand. But a bit bulky for me so will try the official Quickcicle case.

Same. I mean it's a thin case, but the phone is big. I might prefer even thinner case even at the cost of don't protection. Think this case will protect well. I don't find the edges a problem.
Have my eye on oem black cover replacement case eventually
I have the supcase as well and was at first amazed by its looks and build quality but eventually let down by its ergonomics and feel in the hand. My Caseology just feels way more comfortable to use while still looking pretty good

what type of printer
can you tell us what type of printer you used to make those designs ? and what kind of paper ? I just ordered the case
thanks in advance:good:
I ordered the Grey/Frost Clear one from Amazon, and it looks great on my white G3. The .3mm iCarez glass screen protector fits like a glove inside the case's bumpers on the front, making the whole thing completely seamless. Once I get my wireless charging sticker (and maybe a MicroSD down the line sometime), my G3 is set to go - I am EXTREMELY pleased with this combination.

Imagine the phone being 2mm bigger in all ways except the front, with grippy rubber sides and you have this case. The shape is pretty much identical to the phone itself; same curve to the back and all.
Awesome! I also have this case and this material is very high quality. Great idea and job, congrats, using this template for made my covers... But, i tried create one template for case Spigen Ultra Hybrid and don't have success. So, are you can help-me? Ty :fingers-crossed:
Any chance you can scan the empty case and send me a Png or jpg ?
I have don't scanner, but took some pictures using ruler. Hope that helps.

mine just arrived, i bought the black/frost clear one, too.
really pleased about how it fits, how it feels, and how it looks like. the shape of the bumper sides and the lips, the micro usb and 3.5mm port cut out, everything feels great!
i'm just worried about how long the frost clear black will hold up until it went yellowish, just like any transparent materials.

Has any users here used or have this case for their nexus 6? I already paid for it and it will be here tomorrow using amazing 1 day shipping. Curious what others think.
I have it. Bought it and the ringke fusion same time. I like both, and quality seems to be identical. That being said I find I use the ringke more as it has the accent depression on the back that feels good in hand, as well as the protruding buttons are easier to distinguish.
The upside if the spigen however, is that it seems to have less of a rainbow effect on the back at certain angles.
I have this case, I love it because of the clear back, really shows off the beauty of the Nexus 6. However, as mentioned by the other poster, this case makes it very hard to distinguish the power and volume buttons. The buttons on my case also weren't very tactile, I always find myself hitting the wrong one. But, I still thoroughly enjoy this case, it protects the Nexus 6 very well.

Thanks. I am putting a dbrand skin on it...blue one actually. So excited about this. Thanks I always used Spigen for all my devices. Just figured I ask. Is this a slip on type one or is it clip like the metal ones? I didnt really find anything about how it gets put on.
I just push the bottom of the phone in and snap it down in. The border is tpu, so it has some flex while offering some drop protection.
I use a black carbon fiber slickwrap on my n6, and it really does emphasize the beauty of this beast.

I checked via web for a review of this (video) is there one?
I know there is one comparing the 2 cases I have, I ordered both right after watching it. I'm at work right now so I can't really track down the link.

thats ok i already bought it. The last thing I am wonder is do u have a screen protector on it with this case or the glass screen protectors? will they work with this case?
The glass do yes, but I got rid of mine because I hate the halo. I'm using the plastic one that came with my ringke.
Nice case ..
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:
