my Octane Pure from Incipio finally delivered...

^

next to my regular Octane. the Pure is a bit harder to twist.

^

the sides aren't as thick as the Pure for the S6. I'm guessing it's why it's not mil-spec with the 4 foot drop test. the buttons are much easier to press though.

^

the cutout for the speaker is a tad better on the regular Octane

^

aside from the sides not being as thick as the Pure for the S6, it's still a strong shell. however, the sides can feel a bit slick if your hands are any greasy or oily. it's not like the sides on the Pure for the S6, which is grippy all the time. idk why they're different.

on a side note, while I was taking these shots, my N5 slid off the bed at about a 2.5' drop onto the hardwood floor with no case on. I cringed so bad. everything appeared to look okay. I couldn't find any marks. but still...

I have the Otterbox Symmetry case and I have not encountered any problem with the Samsung Fast Charge Wireless Charging Pad.

However, I have heard of ppl having problems charging using the standard non-fast charge wireless charging pad. Probably due to the pad not being able to supply enough power to charge the Note 5.

My other protective cases that have no problems charging wirelessly: UAG magma case, Ringke Rebel and Case-mate Naked Tough case. Thin cases should be just fine.

I have the poetic affinity case and I love it. Buttons are easy to press and the design is nice. I got the frosted clear one and it looks awesome. The X form serves a good purpose. The bumpers protect the corners and the raised design lift the phone up a bit. I'm usually one who uses kickstand cases but I put that away for this one. This makes my phone feel slim ad compared to my kickstand case. And I can show off the look of the phone too. I love it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] dja2k:
I think I found the perfect case to go with my screen protector. I got the i-Blason Halo Series Hybrid Clear Case and it goes perfect with the PLESON® Screen Protector Full Coverage. This i-Blason case doesn't lay too much on the front screen, so it doesn't press on the protector and make it lift up. Don't know if anyone had posted pics of the i-Blason case, but here is how mine looks with the Pleson screen protector.

Thanks. Please let me know when you have your testing done. I'm not sure whether my CHOETECH fast wirless charger works with a Otterbox case.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
yeap.. as soon as i'm able. i'm actually dealing with the Amazon seller for the Choetech fast wireless charger right now. i'm not getting the blue light for either the S6 or S6e. the green light for the N5 is either very dim or it only comes up sometimes. also, some few times, it has killed the phone (not power down, but completely shuts off). seller wants me to take pics of all this.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] thomasg68:
Any pictures to share?

Appreciate it. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] st8chic:
The CHOETECH fast charger works fine with my Note 5 so far, faster than the standard charging. You'd better ask for a change of new one if you have charging issues.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
how fast does yours charge up anyway? mine takes about 2h 35m. with the cable, it's almost always 1h 19m. I always charge from about 3%.

(Sent from my iPhone via Tapatalk)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] st8chic:
Mine takes about 2 hours. I charge from about 10%.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] simply dave:
They've came out with a revised version that doesn't create a deadspot. I may try it again.

Can't wait until a 3rd party company makes a S-View style case that doesn't cost $50.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] KruseLudsMobile:
Why do you folks let your battery get so low? These types of batteries really last much longer if you keep the battery topped off - their useful life is really shortened when you run them way down...
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
it's that practice that always gave me the best battery life results than when I used to charge from anywhere in the middle, especially because of the software behind it. when I used to charge from anywhere from, let's say, 25-90%, that's when my phone batteries had the shortest life. I used to have to deplete power and reset Battery Stats (from a custom recovery) to reset the percentage scale often. and even then, the battery life was just too poor. if things have changed since those days, well, I'm still getting great results I can't complain about.

Is there any case that make use with a lanyard that is not plastic? I want something that is rugged but at the same time show off the back of the phone with lanyard that I can loop in the hand while using the phone?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] skadude66:
Has anybody found a trick to swipe from left to right when using a case? I'm using the Spider Hybrid Crystal, and I love the case but it's really hard to swipe to bring up the hamburger menu in the Play Store because the case protects the bezel and makes a huge lip on the phone.

Any tips?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Toneman07:
I am using the artech 21 case and have no issues swiping left to right to pull open side menus.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] skadude66:
The lip that comes up and over the bezel on the sides isn't too big to block that swiping? Do you have a link to the case?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Toneman07:
Swiping is not blocked - http://www.amazon.com/Artech-21-Ark...UTF8&qid=1444327081&sr=8-1&keywords=artech+21

There is a slim sliver of white bezel that peaks out from the edge of the case - resulting in no swipe issue.

Do u guys feel that the Choetech fast charge wireless pad gets quite hot in the morning? I usually charge my phone overnight.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] st8chic:
I usually charged my phone overnight, too. No charging or overheating problems so far. Neither my phone nor the wireless charger was hot in the morning.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] thomasg68:
Mine does get hot in the morning.

Thinking of switching off fast charge for wireless charging and see if this will help with the heat.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I'll tell you what, the Tumi case is turning out to be one of my favorite Note 5 cases. It just feels, fits and functions 100% perfect on the Galaxy Note 5. Just started using it this afternoon and I'm amazed at the feel and fit of this case. It adds no bulk at all to the phone, just wish it had port covers (got on my port plugs though). ;)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jtcb:
Where did you get those port plugs? Is it available in white?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jtOttawa:
I have the same issue with a Spigen Liquid Crystal case (which is quite a slim case) - my solution was to hit the menu button instead of trying to swipe in from the left.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] skadude66:
You mean the physical soft key on the phone? Because that's the multi-tasking button, no?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jtOttawa:
You mentioned the menu in the Play Store - there is a menu button (three horizontal lines) to the left of Google Play in the search bar - that button brings in the menu from the left.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] skadude66:
Ah, yeah. Obviously that's still possible, but u just would have preferred to have been able to swipe to bring out the menu as well.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] jtOttawa:
Just tested it, and I find I can swipe in from the side if I place and hold my finger on the screen by the bezel for a second (which brings out the menu a few millimeters) and then swipe. But then, my Spigen Liquid Crystal case is very thin, so that helps. I have also ordered a leather wallet-type case, which should eliminate the issue.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
I purchased them from Amazon and they are called "Port Plugs" there. They have black, white and clear.

If you are not in a hurry you can get them from eBay real cheap but they ship from Hong Kong. The Amazon ones are more expensive but ship right away from the US.

They are also very easy to loose. :p
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Joel5:
Dudes with the ringke slim clear can you tell me if it fits tight enough to prevent little bits of dirt and crap getting under the case? I have the spigen liquid crystal and I like it, but heaps of crap gets inside it.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] cheesemaker99:
I purchased this case from Amazon. It is looking good.

Did you get it at a VZW store? They're sold out on VZW's website.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
I had one of those, but they seem to have the issue with yellowing. my guess is because they don't have good UV protection.

(Sent from my iPhone via Tapatalk)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] felloffthetruck:
Yea, Got it at a Verizon store. Had some store credit and just purchased it on a whim.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] cpufrost:
Diztronic for me.

The Verizon silicone case they sell in the store is also decent.

For durability I like the Speck Grip.

Also, I buy the Platinum (Best Buy's brand name of Seidio) belt clip case as it fits the slimmer cases. Don't use the case it comes with though. Sometimes you can find just the belt clip online but it's only a few bucks cheaper than the whole thing and if you sell it, it's worth more as a complete product.

Then again what am I saying??! I have enough phone cases to fill a wheelbarrow. Probably one of the big contractor ones. It's a sickness. Especially if I think what those cost over the years and had thrown that in my e-trade account. :crying:

Don't like carrying a device this big in my pockets. Just a matter of personal preference.

I have the Ringke Fusion - I do not like this case, it gets scratched very easily and has skin marks.

Second Case i have is the Moko Halo series Hybrid case - this one is much better and approx $10 cheaper, it is a lot more scratch resistant.

Just order two of these cases for my Note 5. I was looking for something really minimalistic that didn't add bulk to an already big phone. It's frosted texture so no finger prints and good grip! Sorry XDA doesn't allow me to post links cause I have less than 10 posts. Just google imak-hk for the website. :)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Sziehr:
I'm still a few weeks out from upgrade eligibility but I'm already case shopping. Can someone recommend a rugged case that includes a holster that allows the phone to go in with the screen out? I have a bracket on the dash of my jeep that I've mounted my Note 3 Otterbox holster to for a cheap solid dash mount. Once I get the Note 5 I'd like to do the same. There has to be something less expensive than another Otterbox.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
I have gotten my replacement which works better, and it does work with his case. only reason he was having issues before was because of the magnetic plate he was using (obviously) which he has since removed.

I had one for my S3. It was heavier than a mutha! Adds significant size also. It could be used as a weapon if necessary.......lol
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] drsky125:
Thanks for the pictures. Besides the look, which seems nicer than the typical glass protectors that stop a few mm away from the edge of the screen, can you comment on how the edges stick to the screen? With your case, it may not matter if the protector lifts a bit from the screen since your case seems to cover the edge of the protector, but how does it really look like around the edge?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Radimus:
I have always used Otterbox Defenders as I need "protection" and a way to carry it. For those of you that use slim cases or other tough cases without holsters, what/how do you carry the phone around?

I'm looking for a case that has both the S-View screen option + the credit card reader. I usually leave my building pass in my case and love it but I've never had a Galaxy before and want to try the S-view out as well.

I can't seem to find anything related to that and the one S-View case I bought was absolutely a joke so I'm hoping I can crowdsource some ideas.

Verus Verge (Shine Gold)
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] enfurno:
I just received the verus high pro shield.. It's the most comfortable case that I've ever used. Plenty of protection, nice grip and feel. It's definitely worth checking out.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] akhurana7:
I really like the spigen cases
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] tallazzPilipino:
just imagine it as a normal edge-to-edge tempered glass protector where the entire underside adheres to the phone's screen. the difference with this type is that the edges of the protector matches that of your phone's screen.

I know I have a couple pics somewhere...

Have anyone tried Rock case? Just grabbed gold Rock case for my Note 5 with 10 bucks :p
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] WizeGuyDezignz:
Yep, I got that exact case a few weeks ago for the same price. I used it a few days and now it's in a drawer. It's pretty slim and sleek looking but the fit isn't good.

The lip doesn't completely come over the front so you can see some of the metal frame and it's a pretty loose fit on the sides. I hate cases that are loose so I tossed it aside. Not worth the money.
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] CB620:
Verus Verge is the best case so far.

I have the same case - and bought others - but always went back to this. The bank is not gorilla glass - and this protects that - and the minimal case size is outstanding.

[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] trmiv:
Question for UAG case owners. I know this seems like an odd question, but do the cutouts on the bottom of the case irritate your pinky? When I hold my device, my pinky finger naturally rests on the bottom. I've noticed with some cases the edge down there is somewhat sharp and it digs into your finger. I had this issue with UAG case for my S4 which forced me to switch eventually. I guess my finger rests right around the mic cutout and the s-pen cutout area. Curious if people have noticed a similar issue with the Note 5 case?
[Galaxy Note5 Accessories] Lancerz:

The volume buttons and the elevated back for the camera

This will allow me to show off my dBrand skin which I also ordered yesterday:D Got red carbon fiber and mahogany. Can't decide which one to use first.
