Yes it seems that way but have been assured by a follow on email from them that they are a reputable company and they are not "scammers" which they believe is what I think of them and probably what you think of them from your response.

They have advised that they create top quality products and will not rush to send out the case. In fact I was sent a list of websites where others have rated them highly because of their products and was told that they will not let me tarnish their brand/or name (not in these words but in meaning). I have advised them that their products probably are good quality but their communication/service is not very good.

Thanks for the offer for the case but I have brought the original book cover which is excellent and looks like I will be getting another 'high quality' case by Noreve. I'll add some pics when (if) I get it and will give a little review here. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
If the case has not been shipped you should not be charged. Poor business ethics.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I sent them an email to let them know that folks know they are taking orders but not shipping.

"It has come to my attention that orders placed in early September for the 91108T Tradition have not yet been shipped. I want one, but only want to order when it is available to be shipped. Do you have a projected date that supply will equal demand, and covers will be shipped out as soon as ordered? Thank you."
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] WPMan:
Can we just say that they were just really overwhelmned by the amount of orders that were referred from XDA? ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Funny you should say that, exactly what I was thinking which is why I wanted to advise fellow xda'ers.

I am sure that the case will probably be fine when it eventually arrives.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Let them bite. My money, my rules. I mainly emailed them like that to let them know that word is out. I've also been letting folks know elsewhere. Shameful business practice.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Well I asked them what the estimated shipping time is for my case that I ordered two weeks ago. I will see what they say. I have never worked with a company that will not refund your money until 30 working days (6 weeks). I think they need to revise how their business operates, particularly if they are looking to expand into North America.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
I have been sent an email from them with a dhl tracking number today so should receive it soon, hopefully in one piece!

Will let you all know about quality and will produce some snap shots when I receive it.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] WPMan:
Nice to hear that. When did you place your order? Should expect it within 3 days at the very least, DHL is fast. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] tonyz3:
Yikes i hope they did not wipe their @$$ with it before sending. You know being there favorite customer and all....:D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Ordered on the 7th September, they must be fed up of my emails and probably glad that I'll be of their case (no pun intended) :)

---------- Post added at 06:58 PM ---------- Previous post was at 06:56 PM ----------

Lol, you've got me worrying because I did order the dark brown one!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Received a response to my email, advising me that while they are still behind a week or so.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
Hmmm, I've ordered mine on the 6th and I haven't received any information that they have shipped my black standard case. They must like you ! ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I want the black standard one as well. Please review here and post shots. Thanks. :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Just checked the DHL tracking and the package went from France to Germany to the UK, now it's in DHL 's quarters so should be here by the time I get back from work. All this happened since yesterday!

Now, if only service was that good from the start, I would not have had to complain.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Whatever it took to get it done was brought about by them, not you. Glad it's on its way.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] jedro072:
Rock Case

Bought mine at MBK Thaoland Bangkok a good quality with leatherish finish, bout 20 USD ths strap can be turned to be served as a lock for the tab. Still looking for a Black leather though this one will surely kept for long. Cheers
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Hopefully the Noreve black leather model will be my answer to that same need.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] tonyz3:
Yes it is a great case....Rock case

I am selling mine at a great discount if anyone interested.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
My Noreve case is on its way. Hoorah !!!

It's at Heathrow at the moment. Should have it by Monday. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
If it's at Heathrow, you should get it by tomorrow. When I checked my ones tracking details, I had a message saying that dhl tried to deliver and could not get access, there are no access restrictions where I live. Spoke to their head office early this morning explaining this and they apologised and said that they will deliver tomorrow. It seems like this case is cursed!

Edit, just checked tracking again and it advises that it has been delivered, will find out when I get home in about half an hour!
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Ok just got home and the case has arrived.

The case is made from good quality leather, the actual colour of the case is dark brown,I think the camera flash makes it look a bit lighter than it actually is.

It is light in weight but does make the tablet feel heavier when held, similar to the original book cover. Does provide good all round protection but there is a risk of damage where the S-pen sits as there is an exposed area to facilitate the S-pen.

The cut outs are all in the right place and there is a slight curve where the case closes into place. Although the case closes securely without the use of magnets, it clips into the area where the micro sd cover sits and my only worry here is that over time with wear of the case, there is a possibility that area may get scratched.

The case sits nicely in the three positions the tablet is designed to sit onto but what I did not like is that you have to release the tablet from the bottom of the case to make it sit in these ridges, I also noticed that I had to release and push the tablet upwards to reposition it on the top half.

There is a cut out for the camera, microphone and the charging connector so you will be able to charge it with the case closed.

I think the case is priced quite high although it is of good quality. I will personally rate the case about a 6.5 out of 10 due to the issues mentioned and only because of the quality of the material used.

I will still probably use my original galaxy book cover case for daily use as I am able to position it at a more suitable position for handwriting or typing. The Noreve is only good for landscape positions and is limited in this regard.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
You're right, my standard black case just arrived. I'm at work now and will post pictures at 7pm Australia Sydney time.

Looks really well made. :)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
Well, I have to say that I am very impressed and pleased by the outcome of the case.

I would give it more of a 9 out of 10.

These large tablet leather cases that are compact, sturdy with all the important cuts and cutouts are difficult to make.

The corner where the stylus is located is protected somewhat by the sturdy top cover. There is not much give in the movement of the case.

I think it is superbly made and I am thrilled. I ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thank you both for the excellent photos and reviews. Surprisingly, I'm still on the fence, but leaning towards getting one in black.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
If you do get one, black will probably be better. If you must go for leather, this is a good option otherwise the original galaxy note 10.1 is a good alternative. I know this is the Noreve thread but if you want, I will be happy to post pics with the original case and another pouch that I use which protects the tablet really well from drops and shock when transported.

Let me know if you want me to do so and I'll prepare the pics and post.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. No further pics needed. I don't care for the book cover case and I got a cheap and bad TPU case that's great for home. I have a bag with a strap for transporting, so I'm good there. Just on the fence because I'm not sure if the quality meets the price on the Noreve case.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
One other question, for both of you - did you get the leather from the first row of color swatches, or further down, and if so, which row of swatches?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
I went for the ambition range as the leather used in this range is more durable.

Link below provides further details from their webpage :

http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/static_contents.html?static_contents_id=21
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
I went for the standard black leather case. I had used that previously when I had my XDA mini and my HD2.

Yes, the first colour black, in the traditional style, was my choice. No regrets.

It's okay with normal use, but if you're going to toss it around and put into areas that other objects may scratch it, I would probably go for the more durable one. I am going to put it into my shoulder bag, which has a seperate compartment. Other than that, just normal handling would be fine.

I got mine at a super price, around 70.00 because I had some redeemable points from previous purchases, so for that amount, I think it was a good purchase.

I also have the keyboard dock that I purchased from the Samsung store in downtown Sydney today.

So I have a complete list of accessories.

(Note, BT mouse, keyboard dock, car charger and a small shoulder bag to carry it all in when travelling)

Good luck with your decision.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Okay, that's what I thought. Your grain is grainier. I didn't want that version because it had been engineered, but it looks really good. Thanks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Still waiting, I contacted Noreve at the beginning of last week and they indicated my case would ship Monday this week at the latest. I will give them till next Monday and then look at cancelling the order as it will be over 1 month.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
They shipped mine on a Monday and didn't tell me. When I asked on the Wednesday, they said they shipped it on Monday. Got the case on Friday. :p Worth the wait :)

ps. they don't allow cancels, noted from pervious posts of people with orders. But it should come soon :fingers-crossed:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
They just sent me a shipping notification, so should get it early next week. :laugh:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Which one did you get, which color? Pics? :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
I got the Traditional Case in Black. See the pics a couple of pages back.

Love the quality, fit and cuts. Gave it a 9 out of 10.

If you want any more specific pics let me know.

Well worth the wait. :)

I have a ROCK case coming. Waiting a month for it to arrive from China. Should be here next week.

Anyone want one quickly in Australia let me know.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Thanks. I forgot who posted what. I did see the pics and really appreciated them.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
So I finally got the Noreve case after over a month waiting. I would rank the case as pretty good.

The only thing that I dont like is that there is a gap in the lower left corner of the tablet. The tablet still fits very snug in the case but there is still a gap. I am not sure if it is meant to be like this so you can get the tablet in the case.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Yours is the Tradition B, correct?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Yup I went for the Tradition B case
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Just ordered. Got the Tradition case in Ambition leather. :) Now to wait. Hope it's not as long as some here. :-/
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] WPMan:
I was told that they are redoing the design of the Tradition B leather case due to a problem, maybe, that gap problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
I agree that may well be the problem they speak of. It is not bad enough for me to send it back and incur shipping costs and a long delay. Given the price of the case it is a little disappointing.

I dont mind paying good money for quality. I bought a Waterfield laptop case and the experience was completely different. Sales was impeccable and the quality was amazing. Every little detail was perfect. Very different to my Noreve experience.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Waterfields are amazing and make me drool like a dog after his bowl. :cyclops:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
How comes you changed your mind about the leather? The quality as you have noticed is really good .
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Because I liked the look of the Ambition and it's a protective coating rather than an engineered leather. It just gives it more staying power.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] HasC:
Cool, you won't be disappointed with the case, did you go for the black one? Hope they don't delay you too long.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Yup. Everything black. It's a business thing. Yeah, the wait is gonna kill me. I got the form letter email "made on demand blah blah blah... 15 working days..." Sucks.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
More fun with the case.

Because of the gap issue I highlighted earlier the case has started to warp.

I have emailed Noreve and will keep everyone here posted as to the outcome.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Very bad news. Do keep us posted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Considering it will cost $35 to send the package back I really hope they do the right thing and just send a new one out, particularly since they appear to have been aware of a design issue.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Their fault. They need to pay postage to get it back.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Ernthelfer:
Hello from Germany,

same with my case. :crying:

I have received (two days ago) the Traditon B in dark vintage exception leather (suede).

After a day the back of the case started to warp and bend extremely.

I too have the problem with the gap (left side corner).

Noreve will sent me an exchange case.

Hopefully with a redesigned case. I love the case because of the black suede and the possibility to store creditcards and documents in the slots.

I've just sent the case back today.

Jens
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Noreve wants me to ship it back and then they will ship out a new case.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Does anyone with the regular Tradition case have any warping?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Well Noreve agreed to do the right thing and are sending me a replacement case and letting me keep the old case due to the shipping cost. They said it will take 10-15 business days which means I should get the replacement in about a month.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Glad to hear. Thanks for the update.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] samir_a:
Yup nice but expensive 80 punds thats 6400 rs I can get a tablet for that price
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Great! Get me one, too, please. Also, I'd like the specs before I send you the money. ;)

Just out of curiosity, how much did you pay for your Galaxy Note?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Has anyone else with the Tradition B case observed that the magnets holding the stand in place appear to interfere with the pen. When I hold the case in portrait mode the areas of the screen where the stand sits underneath appear to be affecting the pen callibration.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] samir_a:
I paid Rs 34400 for the tab thats around 430 pounds I saw the case somewhere in a shopping site in India let me post a link bit later.

We have Tablets in India now starting as low as 30 pounds and the low ends one with capacative touch screen start at around 70 pounds search for tablet from Micromax lava on google

But they have their issue though for novice users and normal users they are great buy

---------- Post added at 06:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 05:58 PM ----------

Its available in India for around 3200 rupees and that should be around 40 pounds or 60 USD

[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] globalgpj:
Hi Everyone,

I've had mine for some weeks now and there is no warping whatsoever.

I am still very pleased with the quality, look, feel, function and features of the standard black Traditional case.

Sorry to hear those with some issues. I am sure Noreve will address this problem.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Manya3084:
I purchased on of the "on demand" cases last week. I think it's suede. Anyway, hopefully it'll ship in the next week.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I'm looking forward to mine shipping soon. Ordered about a week and a half ago.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Just got notification that my case is shipping Friday.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Did you get the Tradition B?

If so, I am keen to find out what the quality is like and whether it suffers the same problems that I observed. I am still waiting for them to send me my replacement. Fingers crossed it will be next week.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
No, I got the regular Tradition case in the leather that has the protective coating.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Case arrived today. Quick shipping, once shipped, seems well made, though I think if they down-scaled the packaging they could charge a bit less. I am unimpressed by decorative boxes. Adds quite a bit of weight to my tab. Wasn't expecting that. All-in-all it's a nice case, just a bit heavy.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] driekus33:
Still waiting for the replacement to ship. It has been 3 1/2 weeks since they agreed to send replacement. This is on an order originally placed Sepember 15th.

I will give them till Tuesday and then request a refund. I think I have been more than reasonable.

Edit:

Well they told me that the case is still being redesigned and now they dont have an ETA for me. They finally agreed to a refund. I am going to go and purchase a Zenus case. I dont think they handled this situation very well at all.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Really loving my Noreve. It is exactly what I wanted.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Ernthelfer:
I'm done with this "company".

My order (tradition b case in suede), placed 7th. September was shipped 4 weeks later.

The case experienced the problems stated here so I have sent it back. This was middle of October.

Since then I was put off from mail to mail.

First mail: It will take 10-15 working days to ship the replacement case.

That did not happen.

I wrote an mail. Second answer: Oh we are sorry but the demand is so high, it will take another 7 days to ship the replacement case.

So guess what happened? Nothing. They failed to meet the deadline again. So I wrote noreve again.

And now? Wow it isn't the high demand, they have to redisign the case, it will take more than a month to ship a replacement case and I am invited to choose another case.

I have claimed my money back yesterday beeing curious if this will be a smooth transaction.

I doubt it, keeping in mind my experience with this company. There is much more which is not appropriate to post here.

Beste regards fromd Germany,

Jens

Sorry for my English....
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Sorry to hear your issues and glad you're keeping us posted. A phone call or two might be a good method of contact, too.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] Ernthelfer:
Yes, if someone would answer the phone.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Very sad to hear of this. This is my first experience with them, but it has been good. Too bad yours has been the opposite.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] gpgalanis:
These are crazy expensive cases. I have a similar 15 euro case (fake leather) and I couldn't be happier.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
I paid roughly 87.00, and my case is well made - custom - a true work of art. Another case I've seen here, made from PU, costs 82.00. Which makes more sense? I don't buy PU unless forced to. Don't like it. ;)
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] diggedy:
As an elternative you could check out Poetic cases. Ive had a couple of these and although probably not as slim as these noreve, they are a similar design and very robust
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] WPMan:
Mine finally arrived after being on hold by the stupid Customs people for over a month!!! It arrived here in the Philippines last December 4, check the tracking page here lol.

Anyway, the case is really nice and fits snugly with the Note. I also love the smell of the leather, lol. I'll keep an eye on the issues mentioned here and will see if it will happen on mine, hopefully not. :cool:
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] toenail_flicker:
Only the Tradition B has issues.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 Accessories] SCClockDr:
I just ordered the Tradition B case, leave it to me to walk right under the falling piano. LOL I was unaware of this specific thread, sure hope the "issues" are fixed. I'll post what arrives & how it fits.

Any of you has experience with the zenus masstige cases?

Looking for some feed back here

Looking for some feed back here...... both are at rock bottom prices but the Noreve is real leather,the Zenus looks really good but no charging port cutout..... Which one of these two cases would you get if you were looking for a new case??????. Or ... Do you have a better choice.

I have seen the Zenus Novel Lettering Diary for $44.00 US http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ku3GNVY9hdo&feature=youtube_gdata_player

And the Noreve Tradition Leather Case for $57.00 US http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=XaAy-68NSnQ
