[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] deeken:
As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.

Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.

Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.

Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.

Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] firemedic1343:
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....

I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.

On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Yuongn:
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mchao92:
I asked a seller on eBay about this and he assured me that it would fit. I get the case today, so I'll let you know once i test a phone
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
No phone yet, but this case came in today!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] mchao92:
wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rchapoteau:
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.

I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.

Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] txtigah:
Nice looking case man! Did you order it from somewhere other than Zenus? They are out of stock.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Money fits fine. Folded in half of course... But would expect to be able to fit at least ten bills. I don't use cash, but it's nice to have that little pocket to add receipts to and stuff.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] txtigah:
Oh well. On backorder. Site said 7 but he sold out. Must have been your post. Arriving after 28th.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] techntrek:
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] vizographic:
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.

Interested how this eye candy will translate into practical daily use. Feel free to update.

No worries on the magnet. The notes amoled should be okay with the magnet, just don't rest it on your laptop at home or worse get near a plasma tv!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
Used it when I went out last night. Like any case with a flip, its great for putting in your pocket. The magnetic flap holds well. Credit Cards and money stay in place.

As far as phone use, it's about what you would expect. It is useable; albeit not as comfortable as using a standard case (or bare). Don't get me wrong....I'm still using it when I'm out of the house. It's very attractive and protects the phone well. No issues getting it in or out of my pocket.

I have no issues talking on the phone using this case.

At night when I'm home, I've transferred it to one of the Empire Hard shell thin case for use at home.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
So it's 45.00 @ Zenus and more expensive on ebay?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
I looked at the Zenus website before I ordered mine off eBay and I found a seller that sells it at the same price, with free shipping. I was going to buy this directly from the Zenus website but I have to pay for shipping. I went with the eBay seller from CA. The case came after 2 business days, 3 days before I got the GNote. I like the case, it's not bulky as it looks and it holds tightly. It takes awhile getting used to.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
How do you think it will stand up to a fall?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
I think that the phone would fare fine. At least from scratches and such. As far as protecting the screen from cracking, im not sure. The screen is so large that i don't know how much shock it would take to crack it yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
Thanks for the quick response. I suppose it will help more than without something covering the screen.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Pops_G:
I posted this in another thread, but I think it might apply to this case also.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
Well...I don't think it's made for a durable and secure protection for the phone. It's a wallet case. It's more for protecting the screen from scratch or whatever and manimal protection for the phone when it comes to falls. It's thick but I haven't tried or dropped my phone....yet.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] itsjusttim:
Yeah, I ordered a Zenus folio because I'm worried about protecting the screen. Never really thought about it being difficult to hold while texting and casual apps while walking ... hmm, I guess ill find out when the Note comes in.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macqueyl:
I am loving the brown, cream & tan eel skin version!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rchapoteau:
I received my case today, and I like it, but I don't love it yet. The biggest problem I have with it is that the case won't close well even if you just have 3 cards in it. Hopefully it will stretch out better over time because its leather.

The problem is that the case doesn't space out the cards well enough so that the center of the wallet where the strap is, is bulging. Its overall a poor design on there part. It would be better if there was a strap at the top and bottom where its less bulky, or having a bigger strap that goes across further.

Other then that its pretty thin, and I like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] NR017:
I only use mines when I go out and doesn't feel like bringing everything. I tried putting 3 credit cards in and it closed fine for me. It wasn't bulky.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] yyl:
I have reservations about the idea of a wallet case. I had one before for a different phone, but abandoned it shortly, for the following reasons:

1. When I fold the flap back and talk on the phone, everyone around me can see my cards and cash in the case. I always worry that it would attract un-necessary attention. People really don't need to see how much money I have in the wallet.

2. When I am at work, I normally place the phone on my desk (because I access it all day) and leave the wallet in my jeans pocket (because I need it very rarely and it is more secure). When a phone case is combined with a wallet, then I would need to leave it on the desk to use the phone features, but then my credit cards and money are not in a secure spot.

3. For a wallet case to completely replace my regular wallet, I need to store cash it there. I am just wondering how unhealthy it may be to have a stack of dirty cash next to my face when I talk on the phone.

Call me paranoid. I know I am... :-)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
Although I would carry bills on clip, I think there should be a flap hiding the cards, my current regular wallet does that, it holds the drivers's license.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] rchapoteau:
You can't see the credit cards or other cards really. Personally I don't keep money in this wallet though more because I just feel like it doesn't fit properly. If it was slightly taller I could fit money in without folding it, but when I have to fold money to put it in, it feels way to bulky. It would also be nice if the flap where you keep money was longer so the money wouldn't be as visible.

So far over time the wallet seems to be adjusting a bit so that everything fits a bit better, but its still not perfect yet. Hopefully over another week or so the wallet will continue adjusting so that it always closes properly.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] DevilDogAK:
I ordered one on Sunday. Should yet it tomorrow. Am looking Forward to trying it out.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] unitea:
1. You can always flip your cards around so that the backs are facing out. Plus, your hand should cover up some of your cards while you are using it as a phone.

2. When you get up from your desk, put the phone back in your pocket... you should be doing this anyway if you are concerned with security. At times when you are at the desk, your phone/wallet should be ok since you are right there to watch over it.

3. Studies have already shown that touch screen phones have 18 times the amount of germs as a flush handle on a toilet. Why? Because you touch everything with your hands and then you touch your screen constantly.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tikerz:
I saw this case at my local Fry's Electronics today. Looks great.

Any updates from people who've been using this for a while? How does the leather hold up?
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CradleRob:
So far so good!! Couple of months with this caseand I still love it. Gets lots of attention when I pull it out.

Leather has held up much better than expected. It still appears new to me. Again, I use it anytime I leave the house. That's another thing I was worried about at first. Its press fitted (the phone) into the case. I feared that over time it would loosen up. That has NOt been the case. Snug as the first day I got it!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tikerz:
Just picked this up at Fry's. Very high quality. The leather is very soft. Phone fits very well. Will try the wallet case thing for a while and see how I like it.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] sweetboy02125:
[/COLOR]

+1. I feel the same way. The flap really get on my way to control the phone. using a normal case (Tpu, sanp case...) are practical.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] macwilson:
I bought another version of the leather Zenus.

It's expensive but extremely high quality and fit. I mean, Vaja, or better quality and finish, and for around $50 it's a pretty good deal.

I saw the vintage and i'm sure that one is really nice also. Thing is with Zenus (i've have a few of their cases), they make a few lines, and it seems the leather more expensive ones are better than the cheaper lines, so it may pay to shell out more.

It has a flap with a snap, and a little stand thingy. Both of these are perhaps necessary evils, and are not terribly intrusive.

Just a great case.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HDCowboy:
How much are they asking for the case at Fry's??? Just curious as I went ahead and ordered one off Ebay yesterday. I'm also curious as to whether it will still fit in the charging dock with the case on.
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] RipplingHurst:
I got compliments all the time, love it. Girls love it, guys ask about it, and its very practical. Too bad it won't dock on it, not in the car, nor the two different ones i got at home (one is the Samsung oem)
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tikerz:
$59.99 is the price at Fry's.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] CreekDirt:

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] HDCowboy:
I probably ought to post this in a whole new thread but they make a dock extension for the iphone for those using thick cases......

http://www.buyijet.com/blog/ijet-has-all-your-dock-extender-solutions

http://www.macfixit.com.au/shop/index.php?_a=viewProd&productId=1625

You would also think with being micro usb cables are so popular nowadays, they would make a simular micro-usb extension that can be used with phones like ours. I ve done a little searching and havent come up with anything as of yet but maybe all of us as a team can come up with a solution to where our notes will fit in a dock if they have a thick case on them also.

UPDATE:I thought this this might work, but judging from the one review I kinda doubt it!

UPDATE 2: Well finally received my case today and must say it looks sharp! It' s a little to fat to allow me o snap my upper pocket closed in my nomex coveralls I wear at work though so it looks like it only gonna be a weekend and going out case for me. I'll keep using my little flip case I got a the ATT store when I bought my phone for during the week. Definitely a sharp looking case though!!
[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] Tikerz:
I ran across a nice YouTube video review of the Zenus leather wallet case with the striped design. It's the same case as we're talking about, just with a stripe design.

[AT&T Samsung Galaxy Note I717] predation:
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.

not for extreme user

The Vintage case looks great, but it is far too expensive and not for the extreme user (like me :)).

After only four months, the bottom corners are almost black, one is broken and you can see that the leather is very thin. I have often in the back pocket of my jeans.

How it looks in a year? The case does have a maximum of 8 months, then it is gone.

[Atrix 4G Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] CaelanT:
Once the flash is complete, as this message would indicate, reboot your phone and let it boot to the OS (can take a while). Then let it sit for 10 - 15 minutes to build system files after it has booted to the OS. After this you can reboot to recovery and flash webtop, volume mod, etc. from there.

Yes. You download the flashable .zip files for webtop and the mods you want and put them on your SD card. Install from SD card in recovery the same way you flashed the wetdream zip.

I've never owned a tablet but I'm considering buying a Galaxy Tab (wifi version, not from Verizon store) and I'm wondering if anyone has any useful thoughts as to pros/cons of buying one this way. I would like to have wireless coverage without relying on wifi but I can't justify the additional $40.00 a month Verizon wants to add a device to the account. I just won't use it that much. Am I correct that it wouldn't be capable of 3G anway?
