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

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.
was wondering if anybody had opinions on the different brands of cases that are out there.
Id really love the marware CEO Hybrid case, but it does not seem like they are going to make them for the Prime.
I found this case by HandHeldItems that has the similar 'carbon fiber' feel to it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FL8D10/
anybody know the quality of this compared to the marware??
then there the typical 'leather' folio cases that are made by several brands. here is the blurex
http://www.amazon.com/transformer-PRIME-Leather-Multi-Angle-Blurex/dp/B006VX96GO
and the GreatShield
http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-Multi-Stand-Protective-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B006RML5ZO
out of all the brands out there, is any brand(s) better than the others??
rooCASE Executive Portfolio
As far as comparing brands, I'm not sure. I did just purchase this one however.
amazon.com/rooCASE-Executive-Portfolio-Landscape-Transformer/dp/B005XOPE2M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337986248&sr=8-1
It's currently being shipped and I'll give an update on my experience when I receive it.
I really like the Sikai Microfiber case.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-ASUS-...612012?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c6a7d3ac
It is super-thin, light weight and makes the Prime very comfortable to hold.

both of those cases are not the 'clip' type cases and have material across the bezel.
I already have a case like that, which I'll gladly give to anybody that can help me.
the brand I have is the Moko. quality is decent by kind of crappy.

The Sikai microfiber case is made of a better material than the Moko case, its construction is better as well. At first I was hesitant of getting a case that covered the bezel, but because the material of the Sikai case feels so nice it really does make the tablet 100% more comfortable to hold.
Sikai also makes a "clip" style of case, but it has a similar fake leather to the Moko case and the clip portions are brown which neither match the Prime nor the black leather the rest of the case is made from. Its not to my taste but you may like it.

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.

Overall, I love this case and would purchase it again in a heartbeat.

Clear looks good to, unfortunately it yellows after a while. It's get black, thanks for the heads up!
Picked one up at Sprint Store. Just got them in. It's a two piece and reminds me a lot of my Commuter Case on my S3 which I traded in for this Incipio case and a Kensington Stylus Pen. It makes the buttons on the back slightly hard to reach but at the same time it gives you something to hold on to while also serving as a very natural leverage point(something I thought was needed anyway). For 29.99 it's a pretty good case. Not flashy or eye catching. Smooth looking like the G3 design. Easy to grip like the phone is naked. It goes on and comes off easy, but not too easy. The harder portion sits outside, so your rubber isn't going to get floppy like Defender series cases from OtterBox. I'm impressed.
4.5 of 5. Good choice for 30 bucks.

Id give it a 4.5 of 5 minimum. I actually love it. Got mine at the at&t store. Liked the s3 otter commuter but the buttons were hard to press on all 3 commuters i had for that phone. This is great because now i don't have to worry about side buttons. All my other phones were either too hard or too easy to press side buttons with a case.

It holds on to fingerprints bad.

I didn't want to put a case on my G3, but finally gave in after a few weeks due to not being 100% confident I always had a good grip on it. I used the Incipio Feather Case for S3, S4 and the short time I had the S5. Very little bulk, easy to pull out of pocket still and 100% confident in grip.
That is a good case to have, just don't get the white. It smears too easy.

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.
