my review of 3 cases .....so far.

ok so i have had 3 cases in the last 2 weeks. it was not my intent, but since the choices sere so limited I had go with whatever i could get my hands on. I have had the official samsung flip case (no picture), the case mate flip case and the case mate pop. I got pretty good use out of all of them and I have decided to keep one. Here are my thoughts on all three in case anyone has not bought one or has yet to receive their note edge and are considering what choices they have.

Samsung flip case pros:

1 slot credit card cut out

feels good in the hand

feels sturdy

edge panel is exposed and uncovered

has a magnet which allows it to cut the screen off and on and take advantage of the full use of the edge panel functionality.

$40

Cons;

NO Kickstand

flap dangles when you take a picture

edge panel is exposed and uncovered

you have to take the back off your phone for it to fit

Case mate pop pros:

kickstand

no cover for easy access to screen

case grips the phone very well and feels secure i it

good grip in the hand

Cons:

no magnet flap to take advantage of full functionality of edge panel

the kickstand only allows you to feel secure turning the phone on one side for hands free viewing

kick stand feels like it could easily break

$35

Case mate flip case pros:

turns into a kick stand

2 slot credit card cut out

majority of screen is cover like the Samsung flip case

Cons:

Same price as Samsung but NO magnet so you do not get the phone to activate or shut off when the cover is down - $40

Edge panel is exposed like the Samsung case.

Awkward using heart rate monitor and selfie feature with the case flap open

flap dangles when you take a picture

So what did I pick?

I would usually go with the pop mate case 10 out of 10 times. But I have to say the cover on the screen provided by the Samsung flip cover really grew on me as it was the first case that was available for me to use when i first got the phone. HOWEVER, Samsung refused to make a kickstand out of the case so that was a non-starter even with all the pros. I can not see how a company touts the brilliance of the screen and it's multimedia capabilities and does NOT make a case that allows you to prop it up independently. So I am sticking with the case mate flip case "for now". I do not get the full functionality of the edge panel since the case mate has no magnet to trigger it, but its ok. I hope this helps someone who is trying to make a decision tomorrow when black friday hits. Happy thanksgiving!

Not sure if I'm missing any other posts about the UAG Maverick Case for the Note Edge. Just got mine yesterday. It is pretty impressive in looks, quality and fit.But I expected nothing less since I use their cases for all of my phones. I started with the Case-Mate Pop from AT&T and that is a nice case also. But the UAG is slightly less bulky than the POP, but you don't have the POP kickstand either. Anyone wants the POP for half price, hit me up.

Solid reviews, Thanks!!!

Does the OEM Sammy flip case have wireless charging?
[Note Edge Accessories] steve austin:
Thanks, but no it does not. They are going to milk is a little more fore that feature. But honestly, if there is something you want, and it it manufactured solidly, it would be purchased. So a wireless back and an official samsung case that also acts as a kickstand would be bought by me within reasonable price limits.

Another holster solution, that I read in another thread, is to buy a otterbox replacement holster for note 2 only ($10) and either the casemate or incipio case and it fits like a charm.

I went with the incipio dual shock pro & it's awesome. Plus I prefer it over a no name case

Thanks, I'll have to check that out also.

I received the Body Glove case today. Fits the phone really good. Only thing I don't like about is it has cut outs for the power button and the volume rocker. If you have big fingers it's going to be a pain to access them.
[Note Edge Accessories] twospirits:
When the Sprint Edge came out I had to go AT&T to get a case for it since I didn't feel comfortable it not having a cover. But they only had the black folio case. Today I noticed in a Sprint store they had the white folio. So I bought it. Now comparing them, the white one seems to hide the fingerprints better and feels smoother to the touch. I find that strange since both are suppose to be the same OEM case except in color.

[Note Edge Accessories] funnycreature:
I read somewhere (apologies for my laziness to dig it up) that the white and black models, at least for the phone itself, are made of different materials due to white staining more easily and becoming grimy... Maybe that's the case for the covers as well which would explain the different feel.

uag case

Im using the uag case. It is by far the best case available for the edge. When any other colors come out i am ordering every single one. It fully protects the phone, even the curved screen, without adding any bulk at all. It is high quality and the buttons feel extremely responsive. Its also the best looking case. If you have an edge you should have the uag case.

IMO tho I don't need a case. I had a bumper on my note 3 and it was cool but took it off and went caseless. Had it for months without problems.

I would like a colored battery back like I had on my note 3 tho.

Seido PT Series

I've always liked the case made for the Note Series, by Seido. It's a 2-piece hard case, felt li ed, with kickstand and clip on belt holster. I'm hoping this company makes one for the Edge.

I think this one will let people notice the special edge of our phone. http://www.ebay.com/itm/161507233098

It has some beautiful colors but unfortunately it's out of stock. I bought the Rose Gold. Don't really know the brand but it's from Korea and/or Japan, so I decided to buy. Will let you guys know the quality when receive.

Totally agree. The UAG is perfect.

I have a cradle in my truck that was made for the original Note and have used it for every Note since. So I went to use it with my Edge and tried both the Incipio and the POP Casemate case that AT&T carry. The Edge wouldn't fit! Got my UAG and it fits with room to spare. So the UAG is obviously thinner than those cases, plus it offers more protection and is far better looking.

[Note Edge Accessories] pieces of cake:
Without adding any bulk at all? Obviously that's not true. All cases add bulk, and you can clearly see the additional bulk the UAG brings to the Edge in every picture (particularly noticeable in the four corners of the phone).

I'm guessing it looks larger in pictures than in person, but there's no way the case doesn't add bulk. It looks enormous.

To be fair, I've never used anything other than bumper-style cases on my phones, because I see absolutely no point in protecting a $5-10 battery door. Full-body cases offer roughly 0% extra protection over a bumper. I like my cases as lightweight and minimal as possible.
[Note Edge Accessories] bignibb:
I prefer a bumper case because you can still use the wireless charging back with them without it affecting the bumpers fit

"Bulk" will be a matter of opinion. It adds thickness to the phone, yes, but it really does not feel bulky. It also feels surprisingly nice. I'm not sure how much other cases add to the Note Edge but obviously everything you slap on such a thin phone will be noticeable!
[Note Edge Accessories] tbran:
Phones almost never fall flat on their back and hit the battery door. That would the lightest portion of the device leading the freefall to the ground. Kinda like the rope beating the anchor into the water, it can happen but it's rare. Phones almost always make first impact with a corner, which aside from the devastating cosmetic damage on the phony body, is also ground zero for breaking a screen. That is why the best cases aim to protect corners. The UAG does exactly that and then actually keeps the case width narrower than the "candyshell" varieties out there from incipio and casemate. Does it add bulk? Sure. But I have owned 5 cases now, including all the AT&T varieties and this one is the only one narrow enough to fit my Note 1 vehicle cradle that I still use. Plus it feels good in my hand and offers great piece of mind. Oh and I did drop my Edge in my garage, while my hands were full from 3+feet (I am 6-2) onto the concrete floor. It hit the upper left corner of the UAG, bounced slightly and came to rest. Not even a scuff on the case. It would have destroyed the phone for sure.

go to an at&t wireless shop or order it on line from them if you are looking for the case mate one. i just waled in after checking for availability online first.
[Note Edge Accessories] Ash359:
Thanks! I tried Amazon and googled for it and only saw the pop case.

I ordered something else from Amazon that didn't seem great as a temporary.

It's coming on a slow boat from China, glad it was cheap.

So nervous with this unprotected extensive device. So once again thanks!

BTW how does it close without the magnet? I prefer not to have a magnet because it messes with the compass and spen so for me it's a plus. My note 2 case used a snap.

Hey All

Got my official samsung galaxy note edge flip cover. Since the Note Edge hasnt been launched here in India, its impossible to get any accessories for this phone

finally got the note edge flip cover finally, already have the healing shield screen protector until I get my Skinomi screen protector.

Here are some pics of the case, I will post the phone in the case after sometime since i am at work.
[Note Edge Accessories] pieces of cake:
I ordered the UAG case, just for the hell of it and, I assure you all IT IS BULKY! It almost DOUBLES the size of the phone. You are all out of your minds if you don't think this case is HUGE. It is absolutely enormous. It's just as large as it looks in the pictures, if not larger!

I'm going to keep it, solely for when I'm crawling through ceilings for work, doing network installations and for nights when I go out drinking (I'm Italian, and I get very expressive with my hands when drunk and talking, which usually results in my phone flying across the room several times).

Otherwise, I'll stick to my slim, clear, no-name case.

[Note Edge Accessories] brain21:
I just got my 2nd Edge case today. I bought this one first on ebay the day after the Note Edge came out. I finally got it in the mail today (shipped from China). While I was waiting I get the Insipio case. The insipio at around $35 was nice and rigid, but offered zero protection for any of the screen, and the rubber gasket liner didn't exactly instill a lot of confidence as far as impact protection for a waist-high fall, but the rest of the case was rigid and protective, and it was well built.

Then this one finally came in the mail:

http://www.ebay.com/itm/36111278768...49&var=630454202730&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT

$5 and free shipping. The insipio case is put away in a drawer now. This care really exceeded my expectations. it is MUCH MUCH better than the $40 official Samsung wallet case. I don't have to remove the back of my phone, it just snaps right in. The "leather" is padded better than the samsung case for sure, and if it falls out of my hand I don't have to worry about it flipping open before it hits the ground. It offers more protection coverage, and better protection overall than the other cases that I have taken a look at (only like 3 in person mind you), and at $5 it really is an absolute steal.

Cons

- When closed, it covers the edge screen. Good for protection, but not for showing off the phone when you pull it out. :) To me this is actually a plus, but maybe not to some.

- The volume buttons are covered by the spine of the leather case, and you have to actually open up the case to use those. They should have at least provided a cutout in the spine.

- The "stand" feature is OK. While it is new and stiff, it stands almost too upright and feels like it could close on itself. I'm sure it will soften up with time. Hopefully it doesn't soften up TOO much.

It's worth noting that the color in real life has a little less red than the pic on ebay. I think that in real life the case looks much better than online, but YMMV.

Now that I have it, and I notice that on eBay the price dropped to $4.23 w/ free shipping, I might get a second one as a backup should this one start to fall apart or something.

[Note Edge Accessories] Jaybell4444:
Okayyyy, so I took my otterbox note 2 belt clip and altered it. I filed down the notch (that grabs the UAG case in place), Heated up the top part of the holster (where the notch was at) and did a little bending to it. Now the UAG case snaps in place but with the screen inside and edge up. I say it came out pretty good. Thought I experiment since I had two belt clips. Just food for thought but be gentle people or the clip will snap off.

[Note Edge Accessories] troycarpenter:
My IT department bought that case with my phone. I bought the Incipio case before I knew they had ordered the Case-mate. The Case-mate doesn't have a tight fit like the Incipio and is only one piece. Incipio it two piece and took some manipulation to get it on correctly, and it is easy to crack the plastic corners if not careful. The only thing really going for the Case-mate is the kickstand, and I've got it on my phone now to see if that really makes a difference. If the Incipio had a kickstand, then there would be no question.

Also, the lack of rotation in the TW launcher is a downside since the kickstand is only for landscape, not portrait mode (which makes me notice that the icons on the edge screen don't rotate either when in landscape mode...that would have been a nice touch).

I've had seidio cases on older devices. Back then they were good quality. Although I remember the metal kickstand I didn't like to much.

With that said me personally, I don't like the surface design. Nothing covering the volume rocker or power button.

I do like the belt holster they have. But I don't think it's worth the $55 price tag not for the limited protection it offers.

Look at the siedio dilex pro combo for the note 4 same price but slightly better protection.

Better yet the Capsa touchview combo for the note 4 probably the best protection siedio offers for less then the surface.

And I wish they would use real phones in their pictures not cut and paste pictures.
