[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsiPhiDan:
I just thought that a thread dedicated to finding a great deal on this amazing tablet during the upcoming shopping season would be helpful.

I recently missed an opportunity to get the 32GB version for $349 plus tax, and the 16GB version for $399 plus tax. I would've jumped all over these deals, but I was too late... I figured a central location for people to report deals would be helpful to all! I can't wait to get my hands on mine.

So far the only deal I've seen is HH Gregg selling for $449 on Black Friday (16GB). I'm really hoping to get it for $399. I'm crossing my fingers that Amazon drops in to that price to best the competition.

:D I can't wait to join the community here!

Update: Best deal is at Amazon for $449 (one-day free shipping with Discover card, plus 5% cash back!).
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] clive48:
I also read abt $399 deals but I guess they were fake. I really couldnt find it on B**tB*y or the other store. I finally bought one from A**zon for $604.99. It is 3G+WiFi 16GB.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] BarryH_GEG:
Keep checking this thread on SlickDeals.net; it's continually updated. So far there are a lot of deal on the G-Tab 2 but not the Note. MacMall has the 16GB Note for $419.99 and the 32GB for $469.99 with free shipping (2-day if you belong to ShopRunner).

[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsiPhiDan:
They weren't fake - it was a glitch on Toys-R-Us' website. They quickly shut that down. It was a deal that was supposed to exclude tablets, but when you added it to your cart it still applied the discount.

Also, the other deal was an error as well. Fry's meant to post a one day sale on the Tab 2, and instead posted a one day sale on the Note. So you could get the 32GB version for $349 through price matching at BB that day.

@barry - thanks! That's the best deal I've seen so far!

Newegg has 16GB for 449.00 + FS right now

http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produ...ords&cm_mmc=KNC-GoogleAdwords-_-pla-_-NA-_-NA
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] PsiPhiDan:
Good catch! Amazon does too, plus one day shipping free if you have a Discover card. Also you get 5% cash back if you use Discover, so that sort of lowers the price to around $425-ish, shipped. This will easily beat Mac Mall's $419 + tax! I may snag one now... Black Friday pricing doesn't seem to be much better from what I'm seeing.

Anyone suspect a better deal will be lurking out there before BF?
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] XenomorphXx121:
Black friday week at amazon :D
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] asdfuogh:
Black Friday supposedly holds no surprise for Galaxy Note 10.1, but I got mine just last week for $350 + ~$30ish tax. Price matched a typo'd Fry's ad at Best Buy. :)

Bought one from Currys in the UK (note N8010)

Got them to pricematch another retailer bringing it down to

£312.90

They have an extra £30 rebate off when you buy any case (this is on top of Samsungs £50 rebate offer)

Purchased this for £12.99

Got cash back from a cash back site (topcashback) this confirmed at £9.19

Purchased on my credit card that gives 1% cashback £3.13

This makes me either very lucky or very sad but total sale price including the case will be £233.57 (aprox $375 including all taxes)

For those in the US, just saw white Galaxy Note 10.1 16GB at Costco for $429.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] tarpon6:
Unfortunately with tax the Costco deal is more expensive than most online retailers. NewEgg, Frys, Amazon, and Macmall have the 16GB for 449.99 and the 32GB for 499.99. I'm waiting for a better deal..

Yeah as if California doesn't get enough tax money out of you.. I'm waiting for 449.99 for the 32 gig.
[Galaxy Note 10.1 General] kenhicg:
Best buy has a 25 dollar discount or rebate when ordering online to instore pickup. That makes the 16ngig 425 and 32 gig 475.

For we Canadians:

Future Shop and Best Buy have the 32GB N8010 on sale for $449.99 ($50 off) until Nov. 29th.

--- edit ---

On a related note, for those who already own their Note and bought it at Future Shop, FS has extended their price protection on anything purchased on or after Nov. 2 to extend to the Jan. 6th (rather than being only 30 days of price protection). I got my $50 back yesterday. Just had to go into the store with my receipt, and have the credit card I used to make the purchase originally.

Staples in canada also has the 32gb for 449. I'm signed up for their newsletter and I got a 50 off coupon on purchases over 400 so I got the Note for 399 over the weekend.

[SIZE="<font><font>6</font></font>"][SIZE="<font><font>7</font></font>"]Performing the Root[/SIZE][/SIZE]

1-Have a micro SD card external memory and copy it to the file Philz Kernel 2.7. He will be key to your handset to work in step 7. Save it to a folder that starts with the letter A to be located more quickly (hint staff);

*

2-Download the Odin 3 v 1.87, unzip and run it. Now go to PDA and locate the file Kernel v5.3 GL Hydracore STD that you've already downloaded. Do not touch any other option Odin PC. Leave everything exactly as it is!

*

3-Turn off your phone (and make sure you have at least 80% battery charge);

*

4-Hold the Power + Home button + volume down to get into Download Mode / Odin Mode. Press the volume up and you're ready to install Kernel v5.3 GL Hydracore STD;

*

5-Connect your device to your computer using the USB cable. (WARNING! If your computer does not recognize your device, download and install Samsung Kies on your computer and then connect your device to have the drivers installed);

*

6-Once the ODIN PC indicate recognition of your device, click Start and NOT UNPLUG YOUR PHONE NO WAY! AVOID USING THE COMPUTER UNTIL THE INSTALLATION WAS DONE;

*

7-Wait for the device to restart. Probably he can not leave the home screen. Do not worry. Turn it off and remove the battery for 1 minute. For some reason I can not explain the GL Hydracore, even v7 is not working on Galaxy Note with Android 4.1.1 stock;

*

8-Now replace the battery and get into Clockworkmod (simultaneously press the Power + Home + Volume Up) and go to "Instal Zip from SD Card" and then "Chose External Zip from SD Card" and select the file Kernel Philz 2.7 CWM you downloaded and saved on your micro SD card. Select it and choose "yes" (Thanks to Junior Lima to discover that step tutorial)

*

8-Wait for the device to restart. Ready to Root and Clockworkmod device.

*

With this procedure you will increase the binary counter and get a yellow triangle every time you start your machine. Do not worry. Download the app Triangle Away v 2.10 and run it.

*

Okay, your system will be as an officer again.

[General Questions and Answers] toni_gon:
Strange results

I had to use Odin to flash the Philz-cwm6-xxls-x2JB-2.7.tar file as it would not reboot after flashing hydracore. But the root was made with Super SU appearing in the apps drawer.

The second strange thing was no CWM recovery was installed, I had to get it from the play store and use the app to flash CWM.

But it's rooted now.

The next issue seems to be the Supernexus ROM from Faryaab, as it seems to have Build Prop issues.

A luta continua...
[General Questions and Answers] gflyer:
One question.

I do not understand the need to flash Hydracore.

Is it not possible to just flash Philz directly from stock recovery?

I understand correclty Phils has both CWM and root.

correct?

thanks

[General Questions and Answers] toni_gon:
I tried that and It did not work, Seems to me the leaked ROM has issues with other kernels.

[General Questions and Answers] JuniorLima:
is really this room is having trouble working with the Kernel's working with the other's room ... the only room that is working with XXLS2 as I know, is the PhilZ. Regarding Hydracore, friend, we passed this kernel first, to win the CWM machine understand? because from it as we flash the kernel PhilZ ...
[General Questions and Answers] JuniorLima:
Me did not work so ... I had to spend the first kernel of Hydracore .... the more strange, is that after flashing the Kernel Hydracore, the device will not turn over ... it shows the screen with the name of N7000 and turn it off ... it will not start. Only after passing the kernel PhilZ the device connects. I can not understand why, but if anyone knows, feel free to tell us .... thanks!!
[General Questions and Answers] toni_gon:
I achieved root in the same way, but could not boot into CWM after installing Hydarcore, I used Odin to flash Philz, after flashing Hydracore. The only remaining issue is to install the custom ROM SuperNexus from Faryaab, I keep getting build prop errors.

I've tried modding the Faryaab buildprop to almost the same as the Sammy XXLS2 and I still have not achieved it...

Can (and how can) I go to xla from xl2 without rooting

I had been on stock ICS and rooted for functionality addition and also to be able to upgrade until the release version of Jelly Bean Comes out.

I upgraded to xl2 - and then like others on this list found many "bad" root methods for xl2. And still am not rooted.

I don;t really need to root XLS2 for function just really want a way to upgrade.

I want to go to XXLSA - is there a way to do that without specifcally rooting XLS2.

If so I'd love to hear it -

if not - (and sorry if I am too nervous) because of the language barrier I would love to get clearer steps to root XLS2

Also (yes newbie type question - once I have rooted and am using a non-official version can I NOT use Kies to upgrade to the release version when is come out?

Cruzerlite cases generally hug the phone very tightly, requiring a little bit of faff when they are new to get them on perfectly lined up. They never tend to accumulate daily hand grease either.

I find it almost impossible to get mine off my s3 without it ripping off it's back cover with it!

Undecided whether to grab one or a few of these, or get the bumper...or both, decide when I have them both! :)

I'm thinking teal too @sickred...from seeing one for the GNex, does it look girly?

I loved the green one on my white s3, but somehow I don't think green will look right with a black phone, but I dunno.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] Jayrod1980:
They have very high quality cases but I don't like the side ridges as they add bulk to the phone and in the past the fit caused my screen protectors to peel. Would be nice if they came out with a really slim one. The closest I found was their first one with all the little Andys on it. Unfortunately the protector had some rough spots on the edges that I had to melt with a lighter to smooth down. Company was great about it though as the owner have me a new one for free. I think I've purchased a total of five of their cases and gave one to my dad for his extended battery Verizon model. They were one of the only case maker that actually had cases that fit the bigger battery.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] myorks1127:
Stupid android on back fail
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Disconn3ct:
I've got a couple of cruzerlite cases for my sgs3 and they are awesome. Just enough ridge on the top to save the screen if it falls on a flat surface, and its slim and durable. I'm going to preorder at least one for my wife's new N4, but since they aren't available I'm also going to have to get a Cimo case. (They are pretty terrible compared to Cruzerlite - something about the material just sucks. I've got 3 for my SGS3 that I haven't used since I got my Cruzerlites. But they'll do the job in the meantime..)
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jtc276:
I absolutely love the look of Cruzerlite cases...but they seem to be lacking in protection compared to the plain TPU cases you can find on eBay. For instance, it seems that the power button is not covered and is simply protruding out of the case. A drop on that side would easily damage it. Also, I'm not sure that these cases have lipped fronts as normal TPUs do and that's a huge deal for me. If I'm wrong about either of these things, please feel free to correct me, but until Cruzerlite matches the sexiness of these cases with protection, then I won't be purchasing one.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] Disconn3ct:
Haven't seen the n4 case but on my SGS3 there is a nice lip above the screen and the buttons don't protrude at all. Even the camera bump is safe..
[Nexus 4 Accessories] jtc276:
I just looked and it appears that it does have a lip, so I was wrong about that. But it's clearly visible that the buttons are protruding from this case. Of course they're all made differently so this case probably differs in certain ways from the one on your S3. It has been mentioned that this is just a render, so maybe it will change. Hopefully, anyway.

Guys, trust me on this one. Cruzerlite cases are awesome. I bought my girlfriend one about 1 year ago for her Gnex and it works great, barely adds any thickness, lots of colors to choose from, and adds a nice grippy feel to the device. I just ordered 4 cases from cruzerlite today c: Christmas presents for everyone! :good:
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ketjr81:
Yeah in the description it says that there is a lip on the front, but it also says there are cutouts for the buttons.

Even on the plain pictures of the N4 without a case the buttons don't stick out that far, Other TPU cases have fake buttons as part of the case.

I was thinking that's how this case was designed? But it says in the description that there are cutouts for the ports and buttons, so it's a little odd.
