While most will get a folio cover, I intend to conceal mine. This is more so while commuting, carrying the Note 8 in your hand. I bought a rubberized covered planner and painstakingly cut the inside i the exact profile of the Note 8. You can achieve this by making a template of the outline, and then pencil and cut every 5 to 6 pages at a time. Make sure you reference the template with the page edges for accuracy. I provided 1mm allowances fom the edges and eventual back cover when it's available in the market here.

I dislike carrying a bag all the time, and so I would just put on a book strap and hook it on my belt area. No one suspects that it's stored in the planner. I didn't bother taking off the price sticker just to give it more deception.

I only operate the Note 8 at home, office and cafès, hence this is why I developed this. It just lessens attention from would be thieves. I'll be developing better variations in the future.

you stick a smart cover on that thing and easy access to the SPen, and you'd be in business.

id like something like this for the same reason, conceal it a bit as i walk out on the streets back and forth between my meetings

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
I take it out when I use it, but I suspect bought the extra S Pen with the eraser end for the optional rubberized tip for a bit of friction. I noticed that the white default S Pen gets dirty easily.

I love using the other extra one for better drawing control. I keep it in my thin book cover for my Note II. I'm still waiting to get a silicone back cover for the Note 8 fire a better grip and some protection.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
You need to make and there is no point just buying it for some security.

This was what I did for the Note II when I need to hide it:

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
I'm thinking like a side holster-like type to be carrying it around. It needs to hold the size of my A4 modified planner. Darn, I'll never find what I have in mind exact to the dimensions I need. So, it looks like I need to design one and have it custom made.

As for the S Pen, it's a Samsung branded S Pen. It's rare but I came across one in an electronics shop for $24. Bought it right away. It was the only time I've seen one in any shops.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] h20rat:
Awesome awesome case, love it!

To find another S-pen just google around for the "8pi" variation for note 10.1, it works a treat and shouldnt be too hard to find.

You might even be able to buy direct from Samsung.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] roustabout:
I made a couple of cases something like this for my and my girlfriend's Nook Colors a couple of years back.

I used (very hard to find at the time) hardback artists' sketchbooks in 6 x 9 and 3/8" square dowels to make an internal frame that the device rested in.

I found some sliding door hooks and stopcocks and did a fairly elaborate catchment - lower corner with the sliding door hook, upper corner with the stopcock modified so it was a rotary latch - most of the time the device stays in, but it can be freed.

Once I was done - long process! - I found that Pad and Quill makes a pretty nice case along the same lines.

Right now it looks as if most of their cases are designed for ipads and Kindles, but if the Note 8 is close enough to either (it's very close to the same linear dimensions as the Nook Color, btw) these are nice looking.

http://www.padandquill.com/cases-for-kindle-ereader.html

They don't have the latching or catching mechanism, but they're quite nice. There's an outfit in SF that does similar work.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
Thanks for the link! The Nook case design just sparked an idea for creating the thinnest paper walls at 3 to 5mm like a box for the Note 8. Making it detachable from the leather bound with a pin how for the camera at the back will eliminate my taking it out "naked". The paper edge is what gives the illusion to look like an ordinary notebook from the outside. This is even more so with the Note 8 being only 8mm thick.

Ooh, I'll need to shop around fire some good elements. 2 weeks or so for this project.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
The following is my latest conversion of an ordinary spiral-bounded notebook into a carrying case fire the Note 8. I first made a tracing template of the outline I needed to cut. I then needed to cut in precision at 6 pages at a time to go match a stack of 8mm pages of the Note 8. Glue was then used on the interior cut walls as reinforcements.

Now all you need to do is work a magnet in to the cover and you can also have wake and sleep function! :D

Thanks for sharing. I'm inspired. I dont live in a rough area (although sometimes you do get a bit of trouble travelling in and around London), but i do like the idea of this type of case to deture would be oportunists. Plus its completely customisable to your prefference. Using it with the 8pi pen, to a casual onlooker it will look like im just making notes.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
Oh, thanks. I happen to have a magnetic Starbucks bookmaker that came with the original planner cover. Will try and post if it reaches the trigger area fit the on/off screen function.

I just read how a small magnet can do this, only this morning.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] hertsjoatmon:
A post on one of the case reviews in this forum shows the location of the sensor that triggers the screen on/off function but im sure a quick test of running that bookmaker magnet will show you where you need to position it (providing it is strong enough to trigger the effect). They uses a really cheap magnet they bought from a store and installed it into there case. If your starbucks magnet doesnt work I'm sure you can find one that does pretty easily.

What amuses me is that one of my intended purposes of my Note 8.0 was to replace an A5 note book I carry around with me everywhere. Now I'm considering incorporating it into the note book it was intended to replace.

It looks a very snug fit in your photos. Do you have any issue with it falling out when holding it upright or do you only use this as a method for transport and protection. I can imagine that the extra paper "bezel" may enhance the sketching experience.

I think ill find a decent half shell case, a mini guard screen protector, a A5 notepad (with elastic strap) and the 8pi spen and have all the accessories I need.

This is replacing a notepad, sketchbook and 10 inch tablet. I'll have so much room in my bag!

If only I had a way of disguising my Sony NEX camera as well!
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
Well, the magnetic bookmarker is too weak to trigger the the screen sleep function. I have instead placed a magnet on the leather-like cover with Blutack. It works waking up the screen when I open the cover.

View attachment 1930908

I made this based on hiding my Note II with a smaller notebook. I even place a niche for the S Pen. This is bigger, and the challenge is to deter interest away from just one look. The real paper bezel will give the illusion of it just looking like a notebook. Never glue the exterior sides and just let the natural wither of paper to add to the illusion. It takes long and you need to be precise in the cuttings. I glued it with a small brush section by section at a time, letting the each session dry to the next.

View attachment 1930949

I am part of the Urban Sketchers movement and yes, this aids my secret on-location sketching of strangers. Although I still love to do watercolors and do carry my portable set. Since the Note 8 rather bigger, I carry it exposed but secured with my waist bag like so:

View attachment 1930954

View attachment 1930955

I pretty sure this would get you less in hard situations than carrying a bigger bag. The exposure of the "planner" will most probably make anyone overlook that there is a Note 8 tablet inside.

I'm waiting a decent back hard shell to hit the market to act as a frame for my next version using the same notebook. You can integrate an elastic band like what you find in Moleskine notebooks.

I use this as my daily folio in class and I take out the note at home to place it on a stand to recharge at night.

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) Accessories] TheNeighbor101:
I can flip out the last pages to expose the camera if needed. I'd be doing this with the Note 8 for scanning functions and is easier if I take it out. I have my Note II for higher resolutions pictures anyway.

I would refrain from taking pictures with the Note 8 for social purposes as my main objective for creating this casing is concealment.

No auto sleep wake, but the metal plate on the left of the photo contacts the magnet glued into the wood on the right side for a very firm cover closing.

You can see the retaining clip toward the lower corner of the device, and the hacked stopcock on the right.

I just got this military "thigh rig" to carry the hidden Note 8. It's uncommon and exposes the paper of the cover, much more secure than having a man bag that can attract muggers. It also gives me space to add an umbrella for the current rainy season.

I could reverse it, but would be susceptible to snatchers.

Everything is on me, and a bag would also be susceptible to snatching.

That is true of course. I also don't hold up a sign with an arrow on it that points to the pocket were my smartphone is in.

But personally, I wouldn't wear a leg bag like TheNeighbor showed, just to be a bit safer.

That leg bag is certainly something different and I thank TheNeighbor for showing other possibilities to wear technology, than the known rucksacks.

The utility of the tigh rig is quite useful enough to carry my umbrella. It's also where I put my hidden Note II. I connect with a Smartwatch and bluetooth stereo earpieces. The exterior also can accommodate other utilitarian pouches. The thigh rig is easy to take off for the office place.

I just commute to work, you see. I've never been mugged. Yes, I don't want to be an easy target. I don't want to give them the excuse of stopping me since they think the is something valuable in the bag I carry, or see the Note 8 I carry around with a flip cover. They see the exposed notebooks with no interest, they can take my wallet and my dummy phone.

Refreshed Hiding Case

Well, it's been 9 months since using the Note 8, and I've got 2 new Starbucks 2014 planners for free which I won't be using any so much. And so by removing the pages of one of them, I placed in the original notebook hiding case with a few new pages in front to match the thickness of the original planner pages. The whole page height is just exactly the same dimension as the planner cover. Perfect.

This just reduces the work of cutting a new set of pages. The two dozen blank front pages can be used for normal note taking, and acts as buffer from external forces. I removed the original spiral binder and I sewed the pages together. I then attached the book onto the planner cover with brown gum tape. I cut holes to the last 10 pages of the new pages nearest to the Note 8 to prevent the home button from being pressed while closed.

The side magnetic latch of the cover keeps the case from opening easily. It's pretty snug.

The purpose of hidden Note 8 is so you can safely go around carrying it without the danger of being robbed or snatched.
