Still wanting on a general consensus as well...I guess the "official case isn't getting good reviews...
Thank you all on your suggestions -.-. Anyway I think I will go fora microfibre case from amazon.
Here's a nice leather one for $19.95

IMO - Check out the rooCASE on Amazon if you want a multi-angle style. From what I can tell, it is the "Best" in terms of quality. There are a few other multi-angle cases out there such as what you find on eBay but they do not appear to be made as well. JMO but the ACase for example just looks really cheap in comparison.
I've ordered the roo case as well but it's taking foooooooorever to get here.
I think you might like this one. It has a lot of space, and it can actually detach if you don't want to hold on to the whole case while using it. This company gave me a free stylus since I ordered one of their cases. I love the black but if you want another color, then I think they have a brown too.
Hope this helps.

How do you like the Amazon case you linked to? I have been considering that exact one. What is your opinion? How sturdy is it? Is the rotary/detach option really useful? Debating between this an a standard leather case because seems more durable/protective but doesn't offer rotary feature or detaching case...
Thanks.

Thanks for that recommendation. Looks like it kinda gives you a tablet sleeve too, built in.
I don't use portrait mode very much, but the ability to detach is a huge plus. Is it possible to fold the flap all the way back, so you have the case still attached, but use the tablet as a handheld?
From the picture, it looks like it attaches to the case via a button...is that secure? I've seen others that use two velcro disks...those seem more secure.
I just purchased that one last night. I'll come back and share my thoughts once I receive it around early next week.
Edit: I got the brown one
Has anyone found a holster or holster combo for the note i have the white one?
I haven't. I'm waiting for Seidio's release. Just have to settle for something else for now for protection.
I am also waiting for seidio..hope they release a surface/innocase/holster combo like the active case they have on the site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497252
Used one of these for the last 4 1/2 years, they build them with gun holster leather and clips. Indestructable.
I'm definitely thinking something else besides a case because when spring time hits and I dont have my coat pockets to carry this in its going to look and feel a little uncomfortable in pants/shorts pockets. But a holster, to me, may not be the safest thing for a device this size besides looking like the biggest geek . I'm thinking something more along the lines of a belt pouch, or man purse or something. Obviously I dont care what I look like carrying this just want to be comfortable and be safe for the device.

Go to www.ebay.com and search for Easecase
Eascase is a company, in China, that makes custom cases for a lot of different phones including the Streak and Note. I have one for my Streak, and a new one is in the mail right now for my Note. These are Custom Made cases! You get to choose the type and color of leather both inside and out as well as the closure type and Belt Clip or Loop !! My Streak case has a clip that while very nice and strong still has a tendency to pop off of my belt at times. I must have dropped the Streak at least 20 times Without ANY Damage!!!! My new case, for my Note, I ordered with a belt LOOP so that it will Never fall off again They have both horizontal and vertical cases; and the prices start at $50 and go up from there. Both my cases were $50. Very worth the price for the Incredible Quality IMHO !
Another place you might investigate is netimes dot com. Since I'm a new member I can't post you links but I ordered the hanging waist case for the note.
And at just over 10 bucks including shipping seems totally worth it. Like a lot of these places, you order from Hong Kong or China and have to wait a long time for them to show up. I ordered last Monday and still waiting for mine but it hit the US on Saturday so I imagine it will show up this week and I can give my full impressions then, but I just couldn't see spending 50+ bucks on something like this so thought I would mention this site which seems to have a bunch of Note related stuff really cheap.
Just an update on my holster. I received mine today from netimes and was very impressed. The leather (probably faux) feels high quality with nice straight stitching and the the belt clip is VERY solid. It is almost too hard to get on and off my belt, but I guess that's a good thing. The Note fits perfectly inside. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that it has magnets inside to keep the flap of it down. I got this one because I didn't think it had any magnets inside it just a big flap to keep the Note safely inside, but unfortunately it does have magnets. I guess time will tell if the Note gets ruined by it or not, but for $10.84 including shipping I'm very impressed. So, only complaints, had to use PayPal, took 10 days to get here, and had has magnents in the case. Your mileage may vary.

think this will work? i want to use my TF in the pool/spa. anyone else have a pouch?
i'd rather buy one that i know won't leak if someone here can recommend what to buy
I dont have my Asus yet but am looking for cases so thought I would read up on options. Anyways, I had a similar pouch for my cell phone and the way it works was you put it inside the pouch, there is a seal lengthwise you use then another seal at the very top. I cant see in the pics of this case but if there are indeed two seals on the one you linked it should work great. I went swimming with the one I had for my pouch and it was always dry after taking it out of the case. But if you do order it, please post a review as I am sure others would like to know especially it being summer. Thanks
i just bought it so ill let you know
I just use a big Ziplock bag. Smaller one for my phone.
this one works great. get it. it has 3 "zip-loc" type zippers that fold onto themselves, then it is secured with velcro.
I was wondering if any has come across a leather "smart-sleeve" for the Z3? I don't think the term really exists so let me explain.
I don't really like cases, but I don't really like a damaged phone either. The compromise for me would be a leather sleeve type of thing - like this random one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Lea...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item4627d52959
But having to take out the phone just to check the time or see who is in fact calling would greatly decrease the protectiveness of said sleeve. So I thought a "smart-sleeve" with cutouts for the mic and speaker along with the window from a smart-case would be the perfect solution.
I haven't been able to locate any of this sort though and I don't believe my sewing skills are up for the task
Would you think there would be a market for this type of deal (And feel free to snatch the idea btw) or am I the only one thinking this could be practical?

Regarding what you mentioned; this is the best way to enjoy your device and guarding it at the same time. I've been using leather pouches since a long time throughout all the phones I've bought and been enjoying it. I use the tpu back cover case when going to the gym or with any outdoor activities.

Yup but yet they are unpractical as I need to take it out of the sleeve when the phone rings - and the risk of me dropping it when I do that is unappealing. That's why I wanted a quick window in it

Surely the official case is ideal for what you describe?

No that is a flip or book case - not a pouch. I've had one of those for my G2 and didn't like it at all - the "door" is in the way most of the time
//M
Oh I see. So you want a pouch like the one sevoflurane suggested but that has cut outs so you rarely need to remove it?
I think, as you say, you'll struggle to find anything like that. The official book case is the only one I know that has the smart window anyway. I think you'd need to make something yourself.
Perhaps buy the official flip case and a leather pouch. Cut the front off the flip case and cut aligned holes in the pouch. Glue the case front to the inside of the pouch. You'd have to make sure you know how the flip case triggers the smart window on the phone so you don't accidentally remove it.
Don't know how handy you are but it might be tricky to make that not look terrible!
Another option is a smart watch. I have a Pebble which is perfect. Obviously has the time (it's a watch!) but also shows me notifications and stuff without even taking my phone out of my pocket. I can even see who is calling and dismiss the call if I don't want to answer it. Pebbles are pretty reasonably priced too and can do a lot of other funky stuff.

Yup exactly what I wanted
For the window the trigger most probably is a small magnet (at least it is on my G2), that shouldn't be much of a problem fitting in a pouch. As for a DIY kinda deal I think i might need to look for somebody else as my sewing abilities lack a lot to be desired :silly:
I've been on the smartwatch route for quite somme time, but has decided to go with a fitness tracker instead (Basis B1), it actually provides me with something on top of my phone, which a smart watch does not. But it is a good idea though
//M
Smart watches have fitness features. Pebble has had a recent update and there are a few excellent step counters, swimming counters etc but I'm not gonna try and sell you smart watches.
If you are careful, you could probably customise a pouch without needed to do any sewing. You only need to cut it in the right places and you wouldn't need to cut through any existing stitching. If you bought a couple of cheap pouches you could experiment with the cutting before you spend too much money.
Another thought, you might be able to use NFC to trigger the smart screen so then you could just stick one of those in the back of the pouch.

Not to derail completely - but no other fitness tracker can keep up with the Basis in terms of features (Heart rate monitor to name one). But on the positive side they have announced an upgrade which has smartwatch capabilities
I guess I need to find myslef a few cheap pouches for the purpose of experimentinga bit. Good idea on the NFC - at least if Sony is more open to their smart-window than LG is

If you do go for this, or find a case that suits, please update this thread. I'll be interested to see your solution.

Sure - I've ordered a rather cheap one from eBay, should arrive next week: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yousave-A.../390946403503?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
I'll see if I can mod it to my needs :silly:
If it is working out, I'll do it with a more premium leather case

Actually there was this German dealer on ebay whom I used to get these covers from. But unfortunately this dealer is not available anymore, suddenly disappeared, dunno why.

No worries, thanks - I found something similar on eBay from a German dealer, so will see what thats like when it arrives. Appreciate the replay, thanks again!
Just received the case I ordered from eBay - what a crappy piece of junk. It's by no mean made for the Z3, I've send the seller an email but wont probably do me much good
Anyway if anybody could help figure out where the magnet to detect when the door is closed it would be cool - my tries have lead me nowhere so far

Hello all
Am sure this is probably one of the number one questions, so sorry to post it one more time, but am looking for a case for my 8.4 an was looking for some suggestions.
Want something that obviously covers the screen, but can fold back 100% so I can lay it flat on the desk.
But would really want for it to fold as a stand too.
Hopefully can be tough as I work in some harsh environments, as well an in part due to this too, don't need it to fancy, an might think leather would be out, but would be easy to clean an not absorbent such as a cloth like material.
Oh, an am not looking for a key board, as well am hoping to keep the price down.
So as can be seen, is kinda why I posted as while I find some of the above, I don't find all of it, but I get too that I have to get what's out there, but just hoping I might benefit from others who have come before me to find as close to what all my needs are.
Thanks for any help.
