Hi,
As Aussiebum for metallic covers, I just find out this website on XDA.
>>> www.more-thing.com <<<
More. is a chinese brand located in Hong-Kong. This could be a bit frightening for some people but however, there products looked nice and I was looking for a new case since I got bored of my ebay stuff (12$).
Too big, too thick, too large... not really practical. (That's what she said )
Let's get back to "More."
They have two types of cases : leather and metallic.
(Here all the blackstone stuff)
The price for both is around 30$.
I asked for a leather Buffalo Collection. They send really quickly, impressive !
When you receive it, you really get impressed by the packaging.
Trully neat and when you just threw 30 bucks... appreciate that.
The case itself has fine finish. No strange seam & perfect cut.
One problem : it smells like hell some chemical dye thing... It has been in my pocket for a day and still strongly smells. It's not really a disgusting smell, it's between "new product's" smell and tannery's smell... Hope you see what I mean.
All inside the case, some "fur-like" soft matter protects the phone. I think it also wipes the screen... so, I like it !
Phone looks quite safe in it !
The phone fits perfectly, doesn't move at all.
= great case despite the lack of originality
Positiv points :
Nice finish
"Fur-like" inside is really awesome
Has style
Not really expensive
Negativ points :
Smells like hell
Not enough choices for the cases
Lack of originality
Just saw your review after placing my order. Kinda bought it on impulse hope I don't regret it. Can post more pictures? How many days did it take to arrive and which country you from? I chose the more expensive delivery method. Will I be able to use invisible shield together with this case?
Thank you very much...
I was afraid of more. being some kind of fake company. So i'll order right away!
Guys i bought a buffalo case too after looking at the TS review. However there was a defect in my case and I am very displeased. Thus wrote them a letter. My letter is shown in this post, and their response will be updated there. To those contemplating buying this case, I would advise you to hold on for a while and look forward to their response. My post is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=533214
how about the metalics case anyone tried it??
edit: click the top post aussiebum..
Thought I'd post this, as I just found them and didn't see it posted elsewhere.
http://www.amzer.com/Amzer-Rubberized-Clear-Snap-On-Crystal-Hard-Case-P88498.htm
Price isn't fantastic, but they do have better coverage for around the speaker/camera than many of the ones on ebay, best part is there is NO hole for the belt clip almost no one would use anyways.
Available in blue, which looks like a purple, red, which looks pink to me, clear white, and black. Shipping on the 30th.
I had one of those with the hole in the back for the belt clip on my Dash way back when, and hated it, stuff always built up in there.
They're all sold out. Do you know of any other sites that carry it?
Just checked again today, looks like they're back up again! Anybody gotten theirs yet? I've never heard of Amzer, looks like they produce cases for all sorts of phones, has anyone had any prior experience with their stuff before?
Thanks for the heads-up. Personally, I'm staying away from this. Last time I had the snap-on type cover, dust/dirt particles always managed to get in between the phone and the cover, and mar up the finish (was very surprised to see tiny indentations from dust particles... wouldn't such a thing require outside pressure?).
Any good silicone covers?

I ordered a red one, and will do a full unbiased review when it shows up.
Honestly, if it's PINK in person, I'm giving it to my wife.
LOL
Anyways, I've had a few like this before, I think Amzer is just a manufacturer of the items and usually sell them under other names via wholesellers.
I had one made by them for my old Dash, and it was beautiful. Metalic red, and rubber coated. How they did it, no idea.
I'll post a thread for Sedioonline soon, as that's the one I really want, and will need help getting it done. The Innocase/Holster combo is the best setup I've had.
So has anyone received theirs yet?
ive had my red one for a couple days now and i must say the color is unbelievable! its a deep dark read and then it has like a felt kind of feel to it. its really nice and it really doesnt make the phone look fat like other cases do. and the rubber makes it very nice and comfy and it stays in the hand nicely.
edit: dirt does get in between the case and the phone after a couple days and it does stratch the finish of the phone owe well gonna stick with it i love the color to much

Think you can snap a few shots of it? Open and Close, and where the scratches are happing?
Im also interested to see how the case looks in real life. Photos would be great.
Do not order from amzer terrible company
AMZER IS THE WORST COMPANY I HAVE EVER DELT WITH I HARDLEY EVER COMPLAIN, BUT WHEN THEY SELL ITEMS THAT SAY IN STOCK AND WHEN YOU CALL THEY SAY OUT OF STOCK AFTER YOU ALREADY PAID . I THINK THAT IS BAD. I HAVE BEEN CALLING FOR 5 BUSINESS DAYS NOW AND EACH TIME IT IS GOING TO BE SHIPPED TOMORROW. SO I ORDERED ON MONDAY OF LAST WEEK AND STILL IT WILL BE SHIPPED TOMORROW TUESDAY OF THE FOLLOWING WEEK. I WILL KEEP YOU POSTED IF IT DOES SHIP OR I HAVE TO KEEP PLAYING THE GAME. ITS ONLY 12 BUCKS AND IT SEEMS LIKE A NICE CASE SO I CAN WAIT BUT I WILL KEEP CALLING THEM ON A DAILY BASIS(BECAUSE I HAVE NOTHING BETTER TO DO WITH MY TIME RIGHT NOW). BUT JUST BE WARNED THEY DO NOT CARE ABOUT YOUR BUSINESS AND EVEN IF IT SAYS ITS IN STOCK ITS PROBABLY NOT. AND YOU WILL HAVE TO WAIT FOR A SHIPMENT THAT SUPPOSIDLY COMES TOMORROW. LOL,
Yeah after doing some searching, Ive heard some bad things about Amzer.
I think Ill just wait and see if Otter-Box ends up making a case.
reviews dont lie, this company blows. do not buy
i just cancelled my order today because again my order will ship tomorrow. they are annoyying how much they do not care about the customer. it really steams my noodle. they are trying to run a business and they are doing a terrible job of it.wait til next month the cases are suppost to start comming out in full force. screw amzer and there damm case. i will never do business with amzer again and strongly recomend you dont , and tell everyone you know not to either. unless your up for the round about they have prepared for you. they lie and so does there website. and they will just keep telling you tomorrow so they dont have to help you today.
Yep I just canceled my order with them I placed it on the 22nd and still nothing. I paid with paypal so I also filed a non delivered complaint with them just incase they try to stiff me with there so called handling fee of $5.
I'm about to do the same damned thing, as I keep getting the same crap.
Sorry guys, I thought I found something good. I'm getting pissed that none of these are out there yet. I'm starting a new thread, please help contact this company to get these made for us.
SO I emailed them and asked if my item had actually shipped, since several days ago they told me that...
"Your item will arrived today"
And...
"Will shipped today to you"
And they told me they were processing a refund for me now because of my emails.
Anyone find any cases yet??
What do you think about the head phones??
Ive been using a Seidio belt pouch that I bought for my Touch Pro 2 a year ago and it fits it perfectly. I also just bought the REALOOK screen protector from amazon but im expecting to get that within a few days. Ill let you know if its worth getting or not, but the general consensus with that brand on other phones is its invisible, perfect fit, maintains the smooth glass feel of the screen.
Thanks Man!!
i have been searching for weeks.. to no avail.. i mean.. i've found a few that MAY work.. but my phone is on the way now .. soooo.. long story short.. best case i could find.. for myself was .. where other than the AT&T accessories page.. right where i should have started here s a link...or not.. thank you spammers.. anyway.. should be easy enough to find
I placed my order last night for the Invisible Shield maximum protection package. It ended up costing about 27 bucks shipped, but I've heard nothing but good things about this setup. I'll let you all know when it comes in.
OLD School and New School
I've actually been using the case from my 8125 for my past three phones (Tilt, Tilt2, and now Surround). It's a little tight on the long axis, but that's not the end of the world. I had wanted a new one; but the only one I found was $35 and I'm not willing to shell out that kind of money.
Regarding headphones, this is the first phone where I get over 95% reliability on my Bluetooth S9s, and given how uncomfortable the stock ones are I'm willing to live with a couple of skips.
Hard Case
Hi guys...
I bought this Hard Case on ebay. It feel nice on the phone.
Invisashield
Just got the surround yesterday and had the girl at Best Buy put the invisashield on. I don't normally like screen protectors as it takes away the sensitivity, but I don't even notice that this one is on. It gets a high rating in my book, not to mention that if anything goes wrong with it, it's replaced.
When I bought my HTC Advantage 4 1/2 years ago there was no decent case for it anywhere - like the Note it has a large screen (5") and unlike the Note a very large body. I found Nutshell (a.k.a. Tough-as-Nuts) and their line of cases - built like tanks, literally with gun holster components including heavy leather and heavy-duty belt clips. We had a long discussion about it here, including pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344605 . It ended up being the only case most XDA members bought.
Fast forward to today, now that I have my Note on pre-order my first stop was to check out the Nutshell offering for the Note. This is the one I found:
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-belt-case.aspx
I also happened to find an old post offering a discount, which I didn't know about when I ordered my other case. This offer may not even be valid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259275
I haven't ordered the case yet, I want to see how well the Note fits into my Advantage case first - it will fit the height and width but the Advantage case may be too roomy for the thickness since it is twice as thick as the Note. If I do order one I'll report back here with pics and a fresh review.
Edited 4/12. Case arrived today, ordered on March 26th (I used the "tuff02" 10% discount code mentioned below). Just as well-built as my old case, even stronger because they now build in something flat and hard into the back wall. By putting the phone into the case with the screen facing inward the screen will be fully protected. I ordered the pen loop option this time. I always carried one inside my last case but that phone was so thick there was room next to it. As I figured, there isn't enough room for a pen next to the Note - too thin. I'm not complaining.
In the last picture you can see a bump under the leather below the metal clip. That, along with the lower lip of the clip, keeps it on your belt no matter what you do.
I'm still looking for a case for mine and came across your post; thank you for sharing. I'm still gonna do some more looking, but this one is now on my list as a possibility (that is if they take them off hold and actually start making them).
FYI...
I tried the coupon code "tuff01" in the thread you linked to and it showed up 5% savings. For the heck of it I tried punching in "tuff02" and it shows 10% savings.

Sweet! I'll be sure to use that.
This case is awesome. I also got one for my MDA, still looks like new.
Quick update, I noticed they removed their placeholder page for the Note case (the 2nd link in my 1st post above). I've emailed them to find out which of their cases would be best. I looked at this chart to match up to the Note's specs (146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65mm):
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/beltcasessizetable.aspx
At first glance their case #215 would work - it appears to be the right length and width, but it has twice the depth as it should for the Note so it would flop around. Then I noticed case 270 right above it is the very one I already have for my Advantage and I already know that case is the right height, but too wide and again way too much depth. So that would mean 215 would be too long! I'm not spending $60 and waiting 2 weeks to find out it won't hold the phone securely. If I hear back from them I'll report back.
I am currently using a NutShell case I got as a freebee back at one of the PPC expos it is a very good fit (I do have the Samsung flip cover on it). The design is their basic case with the notched corners and no clip (leather slip panel the belt goes thru)
Cheers

I received a reply from the company:
Almost there
Still awaiting final asset approval.
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-belt-case.aspx
So the placeholder page is back, and it says they are taking preorders if you are interested. I may make an order today.
Thanks for the info, techntrek. Please post if you hear anything. I'm a former (heck I still have it) Advantage owner looking into the note now, and one of the first things I'm looking at is a belt case like I used to love back then!
- I also sent you a pm. Interested in comparisons for former Advantage users to compare against the Note.
I had an Advantage. What questions do you have?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Thanks for the reply, but too late - I bought the Note a week ago. Loving it except for battery life problems (which I'm researching again now!)
Yup, we had a nice conversation comparing the Advantage to the Note.
Glad to hear you got one.
BTW it looks like this case is now available. Getting ready to order, using the "tuff02" discount code.
Just ordered, may take up to 2 weeks for delivery.
I've been wearing my phone on my belt for more years then I can remember - but since I had nothing for the Note up front, I've been carrying it loose in my pocket (with screen protector & ultra-slim bumper case) for a week.
..and I might stay this way for a while. I was always catching my case on things before. I was also hoping the vibration would be easy to feel in the pocket, but this past weekend proved the vibration isn't strong enough.
Might switch back to a belt pouch later, but going to stick with this way for a while & see. Be sure to post reviews of the Tuff case when you get it!
Ditto, I've been trying it in the pocket for the last 5 1/2 weeks, also hoping I could get away from the pouch. But it was always hard getting it out, so I'm back to a pouch. I agree it is surprisingly hard to feel the thing vibrate even when its sitting right on your leg.
Updated post #2 with a full review, including pictures.
Two things I would change so far. I never used the D-ring on my old case, and never will on this one. I should have asked them to leave it off. Looks like it will be easy to remove with a razor blade.
I'm glad I got the pen holder/loop, but I should have asked them to put it on the BACK edge, and since I always wear it on my right hip, to put it on the side that faces rear (the right side as you face the back).
Some things for you to consider if you order one.
Nut case for Galaxy Note
This is my 2nd tuff-as-nuts case. My first outlived all of my 3 iPhones. It is still in almost new condition in my drawer. This is the nicest hip holster I have found. I have tried several. The clip will never break. The fit is very snug for the first week or so and then it loosens up. I am very happy with this case ever though it is expensive. I got chocolate leather with belt clip and full magnetic flap.

Thanks for valuable info re: cases w/beltclips - will the phone fit with the candy shell over it??
The fit is VERY tight with no cover. They design to the factory specs and go slightly smaller, counting on the leather to stretch a little.
They will make custom versions for a small extra charge, or you could compare all of their models by size (look for the link on the left side of their home page) and pick one that is slightly larger. The one they originally made for the Advantage is probably the one you'll need. If there is any wild chance you live in central MD you could try my old case and buy it from me if it works.
Has anyone found a holster or holster combo for the note i have the white one?
I haven't. I'm waiting for Seidio's release. Just have to settle for something else for now for protection.
I am also waiting for seidio..hope they release a surface/innocase/holster combo like the active case they have on the site.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1497252
Used one of these for the last 4 1/2 years, they build them with gun holster leather and clips. Indestructable.
I'm definitely thinking something else besides a case because when spring time hits and I dont have my coat pockets to carry this in its going to look and feel a little uncomfortable in pants/shorts pockets. But a holster, to me, may not be the safest thing for a device this size besides looking like the biggest geek . I'm thinking something more along the lines of a belt pouch, or man purse or something. Obviously I dont care what I look like carrying this just want to be comfortable and be safe for the device.

Go to www.ebay.com and search for Easecase
Eascase is a company, in China, that makes custom cases for a lot of different phones including the Streak and Note. I have one for my Streak, and a new one is in the mail right now for my Note. These are Custom Made cases! You get to choose the type and color of leather both inside and out as well as the closure type and Belt Clip or Loop !! My Streak case has a clip that while very nice and strong still has a tendency to pop off of my belt at times. I must have dropped the Streak at least 20 times Without ANY Damage!!!! My new case, for my Note, I ordered with a belt LOOP so that it will Never fall off again They have both horizontal and vertical cases; and the prices start at $50 and go up from there. Both my cases were $50. Very worth the price for the Incredible Quality IMHO !
Another place you might investigate is netimes dot com. Since I'm a new member I can't post you links but I ordered the hanging waist case for the note.
And at just over 10 bucks including shipping seems totally worth it. Like a lot of these places, you order from Hong Kong or China and have to wait a long time for them to show up. I ordered last Monday and still waiting for mine but it hit the US on Saturday so I imagine it will show up this week and I can give my full impressions then, but I just couldn't see spending 50+ bucks on something like this so thought I would mention this site which seems to have a bunch of Note related stuff really cheap.
Just an update on my holster. I received mine today from netimes and was very impressed. The leather (probably faux) feels high quality with nice straight stitching and the the belt clip is VERY solid. It is almost too hard to get on and off my belt, but I guess that's a good thing. The Note fits perfectly inside. The only thing I'm disappointed about is that it has magnets inside to keep the flap of it down. I got this one because I didn't think it had any magnets inside it just a big flap to keep the Note safely inside, but unfortunately it does have magnets. I guess time will tell if the Note gets ruined by it or not, but for $10.84 including shipping I'm very impressed. So, only complaints, had to use PayPal, took 10 days to get here, and had has magnents in the case. Your mileage may vary.
