Hey everybody, just thought I would give you a heads up on a great product, I plan on getting one for my Note this summer when I get my beast.
http://www.senacases.com/samsung-cases/galaxy-note/ultraslim/
It's the Sena Ultraslim pouch. I had one for my iPhone 3G and for my Captivate, and they are great cases. They are made of high quality leather that is hand stitched and buttery soft. I highly recommend them, as they are great for those of you that like to use your device naked, yet want some ultra thin protection for when it's not in use. Inside the pouch is a soft, velvety material that will somewhat clean the screen of your device as well. The pouch starts out kind of tight to the device, but loosens up a bit with use and conforms to the curves of the device perfectly. It barely adds any thickness or weight to the device as well. I had one white and one black for my iPhone, and a black one for my Captivate. The white can get dirty, as it is leather, but good care will keep it clean. Also, when you take the device out, if you hold it behind the device it can provide a little grip on the device with the leather being warm from your pocket, as the leather grips the plastic of the phone. I plan on getting a white one to match my white Note.
Here is a picture of the white one, they also have black, brown, and red.

Feel free to ask me any questions! And hit thanks if I found a new case for you!
Edit: One note, it does not work very well with Zagg InvisibleShield screen protectors due to the tight fit and the rubbery nature of those protectors. However, most high gloss or matte protectors have no troubles at all.
Wow
I really wish there was a design like this but as a case instead. It would be nearly the same thing. Maybe a flap on the top to tuck in and close it, with cutouts for the screen, buttons, and USB.
The only options we have right now for leather cases are either bulky, or flip. no thanks.
I'm tempted to order this and see if I can make the appropriate cutouts myself.
I just submitted a comment to them suggesting this.

I am thinking of getting myself a custom C7 easecase: http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/C7-EASECASE-C...34.c0.m14.l1262&_trkparms=|301:0|293:3|294:30
There is so much choice though on the types of leather and lining and I do not know what to go for.
Its between a black leather outer, or a zebra type outer and a red or white inner plus I would like to have a different colour of stitching to add a bit more interest to it.
Does anyone else with an easecase feel theirs looks particularly special? I would love to hear from you. I really want to have something that my HD can feel beautiful in.
Edit: One thing I need to be able to do is listen to music with the HD in the case and also be able to fit it in my pocket easily.
i just ordered one earlier today along with the Brando screen protector
(my birthday tomorrow )
Went for the A5 with a one magnet clip over the top.
Figured a single pouch would be the thinnest option. The more layers of leather there are, the thicker it'll be...
although i liked the blue i thought it'd get scuffed and lose colour too quickly.

so i went for the
EM Cowhide Black 06 outer
blue microfiber inner
and blue stitching...
you'll hardly see the blue, so it'll be a nice flash of colour when i take it out of the pouch.
can't wait to see the results
Thanks for the post. I have decided against a pouch type because one of the reasons for ditching the standard pouch is I have to pull my phone out all the time.
I think I am going to order:
EM cowhide black 04 (it's all black in real life)
Microfiber suede red
Red stitching and they will also customize it so that there is a USB cut-out in the bottom like they have on their case for the Diamond II. Oh and of course it will be initialled. I haven't ordered this though, I am tempted by white stitching but I think in my sweaty pockets it would lose its colour too fast.
i was very tempted by that one.
and black&red is a good combination too...
i like the idea of being able to use the HD in it's case, but i keep mine in my pocket and thought that model would be a little too fat to fit comfortably without looking like i'm carrying a small book.
Plus i thought the flap might tickle the side of my face when it's hanging open and i'm on the phone
i like the pouch idea, but the one that came with the HD is too flimsy and comes off when i pull the phone out of my pocket, and folds over itself.
the case/pouch should be with me in 3-5 days... will post pics and review when it arrives
(typically the day after ordering it, eBay sends me some money off vouchers to use on my next transaction!! )
EDIT: Updated with pics of it installed now that my phone has arrived.
I'm not a huge fan of cases that add bulk to the phone. Over the course of the past 2 years I have grown fond of TPU cases as they protect all edges/sides of the phone while also not turning the phone into a brick. With the G3, I once again went on the hunt for a solid TPU case that didn't have the cutout on the top left of the phone for the expandable antenna that is not found on the U.S. version.
After doing some searching, I narrowed it down to a few different TPU cases but in the end the Fosmon TPU case seemed to be the best option. It's very cheap at only $5.97 with tax + free shipping, doesn't have the cutout on the top left, and has all the appropriate cutouts. I was surprised/happy to see that the back of the case is flat black while the sides are gloss (I missed this in the product description). It makes for a great look.
It arrived today and as I suspected, it fits perfectly. The cutouts are perfect and it's a nice tight fit all the way around. So if you are like me and enjoy the minimal protection TPU cases provide, I don't think you'll be disappointed with this case.
** I also installed a Spigen Tempered Glass screen protector as well (seen in the pictures). The case fits perfectly with the screen protector as well.

Clear looks good to, unfortunately it yellows after a while. It's get black, thanks for the heads up!
Hey, I bought a Slickwrap a very long time ago during a promo but never applied it. I'm getting bored of the Midnight Blue back. How slippery it is also plays a role.
Anyway, I've heard that removing the original back and directly applying the leather skin is suboptimal. Consider the picture below/attached. I heard that the holes in the chassis result in noticeable depressions on the surface of the skin. Slickwraps used to sell a very thin back that provided rigidity underneath that soft leather. Does anyone know of a good alternative? I considered getting another skin, but I'm not confident that would provide enough rigidity.
The reason I wouldn't apply it directly to the stock back is because then the device would be too thick to fit in my Diztronic or Ringke Slim.

I've used all of the Natural line of wraps at slickwraps at one point or another on my N6. I was lucky to have purchased the plastic "replacement" back they sold optionally then.
I've seen others suggest that applying a thicker vinyl skin helps but if I were you I'd look into buying a 8x11 sheet of thin plastic from one of several places online. There is a thread on XDA with links but a quick Google search would net several sources I'm betting. Your correct in not applying it directly to the device's mid frame, it will show every indentation and lump and look horrible.

Hi m8, I am currently running a dbrand skin and in the past I also tried slickwrap one and they fit very nicely inside a case. I have distronic, CaseMate and Spigen and I wont interfere.
The tough indents to hide are the two large ones on the left and right about an inch from the bottom. I cut out (pretty precisely), and placed two pieces of paper the exact shape of the cutaways and it worked for me.
Maybe you could buy the adhesive alone, and try to get some back protector films, just like the ones for screen. and then apply slickwrap on it.
Another thing to watch out for on the real leather slickwraps is the color coming off! I bought a black one and , while it did look nice for awhile, the black color came off on my microsuction wireless charger, and every time I wiped it clean with nothing but a water-dampened cloth. Pity, it looked so nice at the start.
My copy is on its way as well. My thought was to maybe use an old glass screen protector. Would this work or is the curve of the back too much?
So I got two new cases in today, and one is the Pierre Cardin brown leather case! I recently purchased a leather one for my Note 4 and one for my mom's Note 5, and honestly, I love these cases. The real leather feel is so cool, and it's nice and soft when you place the phone down. I have a TSCASE leather case as well, and I can say that this one might just offer a tad more protection on the corners, and is a tiny bit beefier than the TSCASE so that it feels a bit more substantial and curved. The feel in the hand is awesome.
The packaging is nice from the company:

All buttons are easily accessible, and honestly, compared to the TSCASE leather one, the power button feels better on this because of how the cutout is:
Can easily access the heart rate scanner:
I love the look of the stitching on the back:
All ports accessible:
Overall, looks awesome and feels awesome
This case is definitely worth it if you're like me and you're bored with basic TPU type cases. I love leather cases on these phones; it just gives it a different feel. They have a bunch of colors, but I decided to just stick with ol tried and true brown leather...plus, it matches my moto 360 2015 watch band! i personally haven't had any cons with their cases, but one member claimed that on the note 4 case, when it got so hot from setting his phone up, the inside piece of felt or lining came apart from the leather. i've yet to seen this, as i've done the setup on my note 4 as well, but who knows if that's an issue. he may just have gotten a faulty case; i haven't had a problem with my note 4 or note 5 case, and my s7 case is still doing great.
bought it off amazon, and they do prime shipping as well. totally worth it if you want a high quality leather case

Now this is an interesting case idea that I've never owned before! So I got the Poetic Quarterback case; Poetic makes some good stuff, as I've had their Affinity series, which is a nice case, but i personally hate clear back cases (they get smudgy, oily etc.) My favorite type of case is leather, but I do like a good TPU every now and then (matte style.) I bought the Quarterback case because it seems unique..it's a really thin flexible TPU, but on the back, a hard plastic snaps on. It comes with black, but their plan is to sell different color back plates, which seems like a real cool idea. You buy the case in black, and then if you want to switch out, just get another color! Awesome idea, but no word yet as to when they're going to sell the colors and for how much. Until then, I really dig this case in black!
The backplate:

Ok, so the only con i have towards this case is the back is slippery..like really slippery. not in the hand, but on a table. so on my desk i can easily push this and it'll glide along. now, for me, that's not an issue because i don't care about things like that, but for some people, that's an issue. either way, only a con in the sense that others may not like it. besides, if you lay your phone face down on a table, the TPU lip that is in the front prevents it from moving.
All ports easily accessible:
Buttons are nice and clicky, and the side is TPU, not the hard plastic, so there's a good grip. There's a little ridge that helps with the grip.
Overall, this is a really nice case. The lip that comes over the edge of the front doesn't come over really far into the bezel which is awesome because I have the Spigen curved crystal screen protector, and being that it's curved, even though it's thin it goes right to the edge. Other cases will lift it up (even Spigens own cases!!) so i'm happy with how this is.
Either way, try this case out. Only $10 on Amazon with prime, and hopefully when the color plates come out they'll be priced reasonably enough to be able to swap whatever colors you want.
