I think a lot of you need to be leery of cases that don't have a cutout for the earpiece. I can't tell you how much nicer these cases are when you can close the flip and talk.

Regarding the incipio, just ordered one from amazon for under $29 bucks.

http://www.amazon.com/Incipio-Hybrid-Folio-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B009ZWT6UY/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1354406042&sr=8-1&keywords=incipio+lgnd+note+2

Really like how it's not run of the mill. Will let you know how it turns out.

zenus case

the cards will touch the screen if it is put into tight jean pockets. my jeans are by no means skinny but the phone fits kinda tight which causes the cards to touch.

also wanted to mention one corner is exposed so the phone is at risk if dropped.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
It's $25 and free shipping on ebay. I don't think it's worth any more than that. The elastic tie isn't appealing, though I suppose you can cut it off.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mdt73:
I always liked the band on my notebooks I use for work, and don't like the metal clasp that's required for the magnetic cases, so this will be a decent compromise for me.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
It has been available at the T-Mobile stores for a week now. The elastic strap gets loose easily and makes the front cover not fit correctly.

Noreve wallet case. Brown version on ebay!!

http://www.ebay.com/itm/160934623993?ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1555.l2649
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kat3k:
Good find. It looks beautiful, but expensive! I ordered a different model, and lower cost, from Noreve over 3 weeks ago and they say it will now be shipped next week, which will make it about a 5 week wait. Hope it's worth it. They said they had an overwhelming demand.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chazglenn3:
For those of you that have been commenting on the fact that all of the corners are not protected, there is a reason for that. The Asian market Galaxy Note II phones have a television antenna that extends from the upper left corner of the phone. I'm sure that case manufacturers only want to make one case that will work in all markets, so you will find almost all cases will have the upper right corner unprotected.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
aha !! I was starting to get annoyed that all the stinking cases had that stupid annoyingly useless cut out in them !!! grrr I thought maybe they thought their was a lanyard holder or something their or some such crap.

I guess the S3 also has this? (many of my S3 cases also have that stupid cut out :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Mwinggg:

I have video here:

really good quality leather.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] reinbeau:
Quality cases go for good money. I bought the flip case from Noreve in a custom color, just got the shipping notice - I'll post pics here when I get it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lynseyw:
The price that is listed on ebay is cheaper then retail. It has a special leather. Retail is $82.58 in that leather.

I haven't read through this thread thoroughly but has anyone picked up this case?

http://www.iphonexcases.com/best-se...d-holder-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100.html

I have ordered that exact color and just curious to hear any reviews/feedback on it. The description says it's "100% genuine leather", for $13.75 I figure it's a steal.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nerys71:
please confirm its real leather when you get it because I really like the look of that one. I what appeared to be an identical case on ebay and the seller said it was NOT leather. it was vinyl.

I got my "fake" leather bag style slip in case. (I plan to use it with the note 2 IN a case in this bag. while not real leather it IS very nice and I may see about making one like it in real leather.

Wow, this is really nice. Indiana Jones style :D

Zenus seems to have two sites - zenuscase.net and izenus.com. Are they both legit?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
I received the Proporta case today. I got it on discount for $27, but it looks a little used. I guess that's ok with the discount. However, it looks nice, like a leather hardcover book. I like the aluminum front cover shell. The leather feels soft and delicate, though I'm not sure how durable it will be. The tan leather on the inside feels a little rougher, like paper.

As for the negatives, the magnet is attached to the back cover. I was hoping it was on the flap, so that I could cut it off. As for the performance, the magnet throws off the compass by about 15 degrees. Eventually, it will weaken the compass and throw it off permanently. I had this problem with a previous case for my HD2. My HD2 is permanently off by 15 degrees.

Compared to my Zenus case, the Zenus is about 1-2mm thinner because the back housing is integrated with the leather and acts as the back cover, whereas the Proporta housing is glued to the back cover. The Zenus housing protects the top and bottom from scratches and things in your pocket, whereas the Proporta does not.

Oh well, I guess it's going back.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] legionxx:
i have both cases and very happy to own them, both good quality and design. alil pricey gotta admit, but well worth to keep till at least note 3 launches :laugh:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] JHimmelbauer:
Not very cheap, but I can recommend "EASECASE" - I had for my last two phones the cases from this manufacturer and he give you the possibility to design some features of your case by your self (outer and lining material, color, closure:, personal engraving etc.)

ebay link: http://stores.ebay.com.au/EASECASE/Galaxy-Note2-N7100-/_i.html?_fsub=5737177018

(delivery time to Europe 3-4 weeks)

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] legionxx:
not bad, not bad! the quality looks spot-on! :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lynseyw:
I got this one on ebay http://www.ebay.com/itm/Handmade-Pr...022114?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3a7c361462

Its expensive, but the quality is amazing. I got a Noreve case and sold it. The quality on this makes the Noreve case look like sh@t! Also like that there is no magnet to interfere with the spen. I got the teal blue color. I love it!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Amazing case but I just can't get myself to spend that much.........eventhough I'm a case junkie and I've already spent that much on my Defender, Seidio, Spigen, and extended battery case fron at&t.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] lynseyw:
I am a case junkie too. This time around I tried to hold back and so far I have that leather one, and the white Samsung protective case. I love both of them. Still waiting for Case-Mate to come out with more.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] jlczl:
Could you post a pic of yours? I know there's pretty good pics on his ebay listing but I'd like to see some "real world" pics........then again if you do post pics I may be just too tempted to buy it. :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] a_ok2me:
The thing I don't like is the hinge for the flap is poorly designed. It is located near the bottom half and it therefore does not support the weight of the phone. As you can see in the picture, the phone flops and tilts over on the hand. You have to hold the case backing in order to adequately support the phone upright. The polymer backing has good feel, but it doesn't feel like it can absorbs the shock of a fall. The grey interior lining gets dirty quickly. I'd pay for a premium case if there was anything I like, but otherwise, this case isn't bad for $25.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Beowulf_pt:
Interesting design. But even at that price, they didn't manage to add a hole for the Notification LED, making it useless when the phone is in a closed case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] SiCc-:
If you get the chance could you post some pics of this case. Looks really nice, on the fence about spending that amount of money tho.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] gpgalanis:
You must be crazy to spend so much money on 1 case! Or rich!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GMAN1722:
I am becoming a case junkie as well. I saw this on another thread in here http://www.iphonexcases.com/best-se...d-holder-for-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100.html They look pretty nice but somehow I am a little skeptical (probably due to the price). Might get one for my wife as a gift and if it's nice hope that she can't use it because she is rough on her phones (she is currently using that monstrosity of a case - otterbox).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Dakota0206:
I was actually asking about that case here:

Deluxe Leather Card Stand Flip Wallet Case

wpguser has it, and said he loved it. I would recommend cutting off the magnet. I got the email that it shipped today. When it comes in I will do a review, sans the magnetic tab.

The only thing I have noticed, and its not that big of a deal to me, is there is no cut out for the front speaker. But, I always look to see who is calling.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] GMAN1722:
lol that's where i saw it. Couldn't remember where. looking forward to your review.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] samsul:
I totally agree - would never buy a case without the hole for Notification LED. One of the reason I love my Noreve case.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XeroHertZ:
Does this case have a hole for the LED Light?? It looks really nice I might consider getting it once my genuine flip cover wears out..and how's the magnet in it? any issues??
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] samsul:
Yes it does as you can see from the picture. This one has non-magnetic closure.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] XeroHertZ:
Awesome thanks for the info...I just hate that silver thingy on the top right side at the front, is that a logo or what?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] mhoepfin:
I would love to see some pictures after a month of use. Also, how many credit cards can you keep in it?

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] WM_Rizzo:
I have the Neo Vintage model and it's amazing. No hole for the led light though. From what I've seen on YouTube, they are all basically the same, only different design or material. And be prepared for people grabbing it :)

Sent from a Galaxy Note 2 far away :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Corki2:
I have it. It's nice, but it's not real leather.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Corki2:
I got this case.

http://www.ebay.com/itm/UNIKKO-Genu...ase-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-2-Brown-/390502500080

They will initial it for you. I colored my initials with a permanent marker. I like the case but wasn't using it because I like having the earpiece cutout and wanted some type closure.

I enlisted the help of my husband and his hole punch set and added a hole at the top so I can talk with the cover closed. After he punched it, I cleaned it up with an xacto blade.

Then I got some colored elastic from a fabric/craft store and braided three colors to make a strap. I fed it through the back speaker hole to secure it to the phone. It can also be used as a wrist strap to help prevent drops.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] John Kotches:
Is it just me or does Noreve have a terrible website?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] cdnmaplechick:
Both are legit sites. The first takes orders from and ships to non-North American countries.

Ordered the Zenus Neo Vintage... now stalking my mailbox endlessly.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] John Kotches:
I received the Zenus NeoVintage Diary case yesterday and I am returning it.

The stitching for the card holders left some "lovely" indentations on my screen protector, and the bulge from cash doesn't make things any better. Very nice case aesthetically and very well put together.

The search continues :)
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] meaien:
I was planning on buying this one but couldn't find any reseller

because i want a wallet style case with lots of cash/card holder and hide it if your using the phone so i can replace my real wallet

This one is rather bulky

http://wi-wave.com/shop/lkun-collette-brown-for-galaxy-note-2/

and ended of getting this one which i think is a much slimmer version although it doesn't cover much

Just ordered the Noreve Traditional Leather case in the black "ambition" pebbled leather. I found a coupon code and got 15% off. When it was all done I spent $56 american dollars and I am in the noreve holding pattern till they ship it to the united states. Since it is considered a custom order it might take 14 days.

Any experience with the leather type or waiting time?

Took me maybe at tops 2 weeks and that was right after they came available. I love my case it stopped my search for a new one and I am the op lol

THIS is the ultimate genuine leather wallet/professional/snap case. Had it for 2 weeks now after owning more then a dozen wallet cases, I can honestly say this is by FAR the best case out there.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] kawkawati:
I like the design of this case and I'm waiting for it to be available in a reputable store here in the Philippines. I like how SGP has improved on their leather case design from the Note 1. I bought a Valentinus case from them for my Note 1 but I only used it for about 3 to 4 times because the piece of leather between the sPen and the end of the case was folding while putting it inside my pocket which made it look horrible. It won't happen in this one because they took the thing out. I only wish they also trimed the upper and lower left corners (while folded) like the Verus or Zenus cases because the corners thay hace now would eventually crumple while in the pocket too. I'm still getting me one of these though.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Nikos30:

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Phogg:
I got the LKUN Collette. It is top notch leather, though obviousely bulky with the center flap.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] LittleRedDot:
I've been using folio wallet covers for a long time and I can elay some doubts...

1: the magnet will NOT interfere with any of the phone operations nor will affect credit cards.

2: you will get used the the snap cover, and it works like a make shift fly grip. I use my snap closure to open and close the cover with 1 hand.

3: the exposed part of the credit card will NOT scratch the screen.

4: after the 15 or so wallet cases I've been through, all of which were varying degrees of high quality, I've found that the zenus case is by far the toughest and most exquisite.

Any more questions let me know.

Here's the case I'm currently using..

http://izenus.com/galaxy-note-2-minimal-diary-collection.html
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] donatom3:
I just got the Zenus minimalist too. I wanted a real leather case which is why I paid a little extra for the minimilast vs their other models. I do love that the part that holds your phone is the leather back of the case itself which keeps the case from being wider than it needs to be. I'm still getting use to using the phone with the case (I didn't give the smart cover much time either).
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] barflybzzz:
Not sure about the quality but Boxwave sells a a few genuine leather cases, including the Nero Leather Flip Case. They offer it for 38.95 on their site, but on Amazon--and through Boxwave Corporation--the same case is only 12.20. I figure it's worth taking a chance on it at that price.

It is a vertical flip case, and while it does suffer from no cutouts for notifications in the front, it does have an opening for the mini USB so you don't have to take it out of the case to charge.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Beowulf_pt:
Hmm.. too bad that despite the high prices of these leather cases, there is still no one bothering to add a decent cutout for the notification LED.

I want such a case, but don't want to lose the ability to quickly notice events on my phone without having to open the case.

Sloppy product development.
