Since I dont have that much money to buy overpriced S-View cover ($60), I decided to make it myself.
Thanks to Rovo89 and MohammadAG for the xposed module so I can make use the cover with only magnet and no ID chip.
This will need ROOT for the Xposed.
Note the silver part inside the white small square stuff in the right lower part is magnet.
And make sure its shielded by metal sheet outside so it wont activate the SView when you flip it under the back of the phone.
You only need small weak magnet to activate the SView (2mm x 2mm).
Dont use strong magnet as it will damage the screen.
The magnet will rest over the lower left of the screen when the cover is closed.
The rest is mica, glue, and cheap flip cover.
they have knock off ones for cheap on Ebay if you dont care for OEM($4.99), but they do have OEM for $30 on ebay.

Hmmm, since postal service and custom here love to steal things from overseas, so I prefer not.
They even stole a cheap glitter marker cost about $2 and a China's shirt cost about $3. Shame on them....
nice
Thanks ! I was looking for this info for month now !

Yes it is not for Samsung, but for him, he now had the knowledge by practicing hands on. If he later decided to refine his skills he might be able to make it a business, selling stuffs with competitive prices.

I'm not usually one to spend a bunch of money on a case...but this one looked to awesome to pass up:
http://zenuscaseusa.com/
Sold on ebay for $59.99
That's nice.. I'd use it as a wallet!! Lol

I also picked one up. I'm a little bit scared of the magnet messing up the screen, but hopefully the covers thickness helps a bit
As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.
Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....
I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.
On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.

I asked a seller on eBay about this and he assured me that it would fit. I get the case today, so I'll let you know once i test a phone
No phone yet, but this case came in today!
wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.
I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.
Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.

Money fits fine. Folded in half of course... But would expect to be able to fit at least ten bills. I don't use cash, but it's nice to have that little pocket to add receipts to and stuff.

Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.
Interested how this eye candy will translate into practical daily use. Feel free to update.
No worries on the magnet. The notes amoled should be okay with the magnet, just don't rest it on your laptop at home or worse get near a plasma tv!

i think the back cover is not effective for protection. its because when your phone drops, you dont know which part will hit the ground first. thus, you still need a case. lol
Either way protection or not from the images it does look ascetically better then what samsung offers.
I bought for 6.99 free shipping. I got to try it for this price

It went up a dollar. I'm going to snag it before it goes higher.
guys i bought a case like this for my sisters s4 , and i can confirm NFC doesnt work , also it ads bulk and weight to the phone , to the point where i personally didnt like it , it has a plastic case under the aluminum one.
Seemst to me that would get scratched up and look bad fairly quickly. Unless you put a case on it, but it would be pointless to buy if you're going to cover it with a case. I'd also be concerned about what it did to reception.

I'm not talking about this video in particular. He posts some pretty nasty comments to his viewers, and personally I can't respect anyone who treats others like the way he does. But anyway, I'm not trying to hijack this thread. I've tried aluminum cases and bumpers before and they all interfere with signal reception. Also, it interferes with wireless charging capabilities. It straight up doesn't work if you have some kind of metal between the phone's receiver coil and charger. With a premium finish case like that, I'd be worried about scratching up the case as well. Personally, I'm not too worried about physical damage, so I opt for one of those 3mm thin cases on ebay for $1. They provide good scratch protection but offer little impact protection.
I can't imagine a case of that magnitude NOT affecting signal...
Looks amazing though!

You analogy is like saying your Payless shoes are just as good as Nike.
So then write up an actual review and tell us why instead of just posting someone else's youtube video and telling us $$$ = quality. Better yet, buy that fake case and let us know what the differences are.

I'm not retarded I know they sell fakes. They have the fake spigen neo for $4. But you've taken what I said and flipped it around to make yourself sound right. I told you what OP linked for $53 is the same thing found on aliexpress for $18. You've gone off and you're talking about a case I don't know or care about. Does aliexpress sell a copy of a $90 case? Most likely, but that's not the case in point.
I'm done now.
Not all chinese products are good quality. There's definitely a lot of low quality knockoffs. But you should be more informed about what kind of products you are buying. A good example are computer power supplies. There are only a handful of hardware manufacturers and OEMs simply buy them and slap their names on it. Big names like Seasonic and Corsair do this along with other much cheaper names you've never heard of. It is exactly the same product though. If you want people to take you seriously, post something of value. I have bought all kinds of things from Ali Express and some knockoffs are better than you think. Jewelery, electronics, clothes, all have knockoffs but some are actually quite good. If you post a review contrasting the differences between the genuine and knockoff, I'm sure a lot of people here would be interested in reading that. Me included. Don't pull a flossy carter and attack people. Post something informative that the community can appreciate.

Don't eat me for lol'ing... American men don't wear purses or over the shoulder wallets.
Moral of the story is go to the swap meet or bargain center you'll probably find it.
Looks like a great way to have someone snatch a 700 dollar device from around one's neck.

I can assure you that phone theft is a trending crime here in the states.
And your example wasn't even in the path of my line of thinking. There's a huge difference in having your phone in your hand and having it swinging by an easily broken string around your neck.
You're fortunate that Scotland has such a low instance of Robbery. I just pulled it up and you guys had an 18% drop from the 2011-12 to the 2012-13 years. WOW!

I never carry a handbag. I simply extended my jeans pockets(both) by means of a sewing machine
I bought a passport pouch because those are waterproof, so it has an extra layer of protection in my pocket. Waterfalls and smartphones don't mix well, I've discovered. (My poor HD2 )
It doesn't do wonders for your figure to carry your phone in a large pocket on your hip, but nobody can nick your phone without considerable effort (you'll notice it... ). And I can now fit my wallet in the other pocket. And it leaves your hands free, and you never have to fear hitting something with it. Efficiency over style
After waiting for about 4wks due to the current situation, it has arrived....:good:
For those that like slim fit this is the one to go for or the Pitaka, the feel on this one is different and must say absolutely fantastic.....:good:
Highly recommended.
Is it a bumper case? Based on the picture it looks like it.
Can you take a picture of the bottom/front? I like it when the bottom of the case is cut out for smoother thumb swiping on the actual screen.

Thanks for sharing! Personally, I need the magcase to fit into my ecosystem. Also I do not like the wide opening on top and bottom, the Pitaka cases are way better in this regard.
Also, I will never forget how shady this Lew treated Pitaka - I tend to have a long memory in such regards. For that reason I will not buy a latercase.

As the pictures show, it just covers the camera bump, but offers no protection on the lenses themselves. Its designed to be a slim fit case which I much much prefer .....:good:

After waiting for about 4wks due to the current situation, it has arrived....:good:
For those that like slim fit this is the one to go for or the Pitaka, the feel on this one is different and must say absolutely fantastic.....:good:
Highly recommended.

LOL you got scammed my dude! You just bought a chinese white label case, over @ aliaxpress available for 1$ from the most disgusting, lying tech youtuber for 40$ :laugh: Lew just scammed you out of 39$ with it's bootleg design case. Also there are better 0,3mm (thiner) cases out there that look&feel the same for 1$ also with a waiting time of 4wks due to it coming from china like this 40$ case. Lew wen to a chinese manufacturer and made him produced these, each costs him just a few cents to make, but sells them to his braindead audience who gobble this shiat up like nothing with a 9999999% mark up. Making that easy money.
Duncan if I was you, I would not tell people that you got that case. I would keep it to my self and think about the decisions I make.

Should not be the case (lol), as the case itself has no magnets whatsoever - I am using them since the S8 and never had any issues.
But then, there is always the pitaka aircase without the metal plates.

Nope, the Pitaka Magcase has no magnets, only very thin metal plates embedded in a way th allow and not disturb wireless charging. The magnets are in the Pitaka Car Holder, e.g..
The Pitaka Aircase has no metal plates embedded and is even thinner.

forgive me for getting involved - - but I wondered why you felt it necessary to attack the way you did? Why not just share the information you have without the attitude (and desparging comments intended to make the OP feel bad about his choice) why not just share the facts and give the OP a chance to either accept or reject it? Why do you feel like you have to attack the way you did ?
not cool at all - and totally unnecessary.
It is great to offer advise and share information in a helpful way - but we all should really try treat people the way we want to be treated.
