This is what I've been eyeing.....

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donniegood:
Mannnn that is prettty
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mrcpu:
man, if I could just get that next model:

http://www.noreve.com/langue/en/product/Samsung_Galaxy_Note_2_Tradition_B_leather_case.html

without the snap closure, I would be a happy man. That case looks perfect.

Wish I could find one that for the card slots had a clear cover for one so I can stick my license in it, and have it be visible.

I have this one and very happy with it : w ww.pdair.com/index.php/leather-case-for-samsung-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-flip-type-black-1.html (sorry link restriction for new member prevent to post a working link)

I just order the Spigen Valentinus case in Vintage brown. w ww.amazon.com/SPIGEN-SGP-Valentinus-Protection-International/dp/B009ZG8DZ4/ref=sr_1_6?ie=UTF8&qid=1352127399&sr=8-6&keywords=spigen+note+2 (New member restriction)

I was also interested in the Zenus case but didn't like the "accents" on the front. There is also Puhama case (Expensive Handmade) ww w.etsy.com/listing/111843451/hc10-hand-stitched-handmade-personalized?ref=sr_gallery_19&ga_search_query=note+2+leather&ga_view_type=gallery&ga_ship_to=US&ga_search_type=all

Then you have the ones from China.. Ebay obviously has a lot. This is one of the few that stood out to me ww w.ebay.com/itm/Brown-Deluxe-Leather-Card-Stand-Flip-Wallet-Case-for-Samsung-Galaxy-Note-2-N7100-/130792440457?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1e73d64289

Be warned with that last one, it has a magnet clasp, I was going to tear out the magnet and install a snap if I had purchased the case. I did not want to wait for it to arrive from China though.

Once the Spigen case gets here I will do a review and upload a couple photos. (New member restrictions permitting :laugh: )
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donniegood:
Apparently I am no good at searching since I have never seen any of these except the pdair and spigen
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] likwaiw:
No real leather case in recent years I think. Also, it is not a trend. Better get a plastic cover for the case!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Itchiee:
You know, that one is really nice and for the price seems like a decent buy. Thank you...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pirate Virus:
No problem, just another forewarning that it has a magnetic clasp system. It might affect the screen, creating a dead spot while in the case. Not too sure if it can cause permanent issues just know there was a thread going around warning about the issues with magnet cases. I'm also assuming for that price that its faux leather, just another aspect of the case to bear in mind. Other than that it does look pretty nice :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Itchiee:
Yeah, my hope is the magnet is too weak to cause issues.

This will be my theme park case so I can consolidate my wallet and phone into one.

And for the price I won't mind if it takes some damage unlike the cases that are 4-5x as much.

Let us know about the one you ordered, that can be my professional case... lol

Make a look to http://stores.ebay.com.au/EASECASE/Galaxy-Note2-N7100-/_i.html?_fsub=5737177018

Easecase produce custom-made Leather cases (different designes and colors, different closures etc.) - I had two of them for two different phones. Always a good quality

I have the zenus lettering case: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/zenus-ma...ote-2-lettering-diary-series-brown-p36742.htm

Check out the price on this one (same seller):

Super freaking expensive. And a bit too bulky.

I have a Noreve case in Exception suede for my GTab 7.7, it's absolutely worth the money. Fantastic quality.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zpiders:
I haven't really put any cards in there as I don't really want to expose my credit cards whilst using the phone. For testing purposes I did fill it up with cards and when the case is closed, I noticed that it's not actully touching the screen so I dont think it will scratch the case. Not sure how it will be with prolonged use though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Pirate Virus:
Another one to check out w ww.storyleather.com apparently they will custom make a case for the phone they give you a TON of options to customize your case including clasps, color, ID card cutout, etc. You have to select custom case from the menu and write the name of the phone in a text box so they can pull up the specs and build your case.

Pretty neat.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] bpark19:
As for the genuine leather cases, recommend the Unikko wallet case, made from Italian vegetable tanned leather
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] YungAnh:
Nice case.

Talking about vegie dye, this case use the same thing and probably looks nicer, but guess what? $160 is the price of it.

Darn it :crying:

Zenus

I have a zenus for my Note 1. It's quality leather and still holding up strong after 8 months. There's some wear on the corners, but the quality vs other cases I've had in the past is pretty good.

I'm looking at these cases for my Note 2. I'm not too fond of these designs, but it may be to someones' liking.

The magnetic lock will mess-up your compass. I had one on my HD2 and I think it permanently messed it up. I always had to recalibrate my screen too.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] reinbeau:
That's why I went with this one in Cobalt. It'll take two extra weeks, but that's ok.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] rchapoteau:
I had a Magnetic clasp on my original note and never had a problem with with my Zenus case and never had a problem.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
Not sure why because it's common knowledge having a magnet next to your compass will give you incorrect readings on apps like Maps or any compass. It's defying the laws of physics.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
Which Zenus case used magnets? All the Note 1 and Note 2 cases from what I can see use clips. Personally, there's no need for a flap and locking clip as it just gets in the way.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] zaslamel42:
I've ordered a Zenus case. It's actually incredibly stylish and the reviews say it is fantastic. Zenus is meant to be one of the top dogs for cases, and from what I can see they make incredible designs.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
That was one of my options, but from what it looks like online, I don't like the texture on that one. It looks like plastic. They all come with straps, 100% sure.There is a hole on the left for it. I have one from my Note 1 that I can give, but you won't need it.

Oh cool thanks for the info. And yeah I had never seen leather like that so I looked it up I guess its what alot of handbags is made of like those expensive ones and that its very scratch resistant but still soft. Pretty much I was sold after reading about the type of leather used.

The frame around the screen will prevent you from swiping along the edge of the screen. I've had those types of cases and stay at from them these days.

I went for something extremely functional while saving pocket space:

Ugly and nerdy, but great access at great speeds. My previous Nutshell case for my iPhone 4 had a layer that prevented the magnetic clasp from affecting the phone, hopefully this is the case here.

using melkco leather case at the moment

quality is good. no regret buying it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
I feel way more secure with leather. The leather cases have a plastic shell too. Also, the leather absorbs the impact. Regarding real leather, they advertise as real leather. Call me gullible but I would think it's leather.

Just made this with tooling leather.

Are you sure? The nice zenus leather case for the original note that I have uses magnets, and I never had a problem with it. I'll probably pick up another Zenus case for my new note as well.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
95% sure, especially if it states no magnets and the picture shows a button. I have a case for the original note, Galaxy Note Leather Case Masstige Leather Color Block Folio Series. Up until the weekend, I thought it was real leather. This one in particular isn't real leather. But that's how real it appears and feels. They also jacked up their prices over the weekend.

Posted up a quick review on the Spigen Valentinus case I got for the note 2. Overall I am quite happy with the case :D

That's because it states specifically it isn't leather.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
I know. I must have missed it when I bought it. It still looks and feels like premium leather. Heck, it's probably more durable than real leather.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
that cheap leather case the brown one actually looks really nice. I may get that one.

the $160 handmade one is drop dead gorgeous!! wow. I love the "rigid" frame around the phone. Looks sick.

I may go with that site that makes custom cases and see if they can "oversize" one a little more me (for drop protection)

after watching torture tests and drop tests I am hyper paranoid that normal protection won't be enough for this beasty :)

Spots for cards and a pocket for cash
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mhoepfin:
Got this one in the mail yesterday.

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009WI9BDI/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00

Looks like it is out of stock now but it was $14.

Really like it since the leather is very thin. Too many cases pad the leather making the case thicker than it should be.

That's kind of relative to opinions. But any knid of cases like this will add thickness. It's worth it to me because I don't have to constantly worry about dropping and scratching my phone. I'm still waiting for my case to be delivered and it's always worrisome every time I dig for the phone from my pocket or when I place it somewhere and worry about scratches or the cats swatting it off the table.

Proporta

I ran across Proporta cases. One model has an aluminum lined shell. You can't argue with British leather. The problem I see is the magnet clip. I'm wondering if I can remove the stitching to remove the magnet. Also, the top and bottom isn't protected like the Zenus cases.

Thats for Note and not Note 2

You are correct now that I look closer. It's a great case, the note goes on the left, you can use the wallet side as a hand rest. The whole case makes sense to me for that matter.

I received my Zenus Minimal Diary Case today, which the seller has wrongly put on Ebay for £19.50 and I had the luck to buy 1 minute before he corrected the price :)

It's made from real leather and one can tell it it very well made. Very good attention to detail. Here are some pictures:

Even the inside of the holder has leather lining -

With 3 credit cards inside the front bulges quite a bit - not something I like, so I won't be using it as a wallet:

There is fine netting on the front speaker and back loudpspeaker:

I am not sure if its leather but it sure is nice looking. I just ordered it 390490465189 I am guessing by the description and price its vinyl but even if it is would make a good template for making a real leather one.

figure that along with the bamboo case I ordered 110980744083 or an aluminum bumper would go really nice together :)
