What case do you use?

[ifb-online]

Functionally, the case is doing fine. But because the flip material is not real leather the plastic 'skin' is beginning to tear very slightly where it folds over and meets the plastic clip on part. It's not falling apart but if you look closely it looks a little tatty. I would also like the case to be more easily removable, say, when I want to put it in a card holder. You can get the case off, but it's a fairly tight fit. It's a cheap case and I think the price is about right but it is a bit naughty for the supplier to advertise it as leather - I'm 90% sure it isn't.

I do a lot of outdoor work in the rain :-( anyone know of any heavy duty waterproof cases for the note? Had a couple of Velcro waterproof bags which just split within a few days of use.

Hey not only is that a nice case, but you took some really shots of it. Nice work.

Thanks I didn't try too hard - these were just taken on the kitchen table. But they ought to be reasonable as my day job is writing about digital photography.

Thanks for the update. I'm really not sure about a flip case as I have got used to having an opn front. I use a Casemate on my Desire but not sure about the Note version of it. I think I may go for the one you have as a temporary measure and see how it goes as its not too expensive.

I love this case. I was using a Noreve flip case, book style and I prefer this Pull tab case. It cost only

The speaker holes at the back is great...

I have used incipio feather and speck candyshell, and I've been using Ava Karen lately. Since the phone is big, I really like the idea of combining the wallet and cell phone altogether.

I spend ages looking at cases. What I wanted was something with a landscape stand for video on the train.

What I ended up with was a Spiderpodium: BREFFO SPIDER PODIUM First Look.. from myGearStore.com - YouTube

OK, doesn't solve the issue of constantly dropping it but is hugely versatile for holding anything.

i dropped money to this as well, my one is in pink lol

After umming and aahing for a bit, I ordered the Mugen 5400mah extended battery last night. Doesn't ship till July 10th.

I'm a very heavy user when I'm working, lots of browsing, tethering, Football Manager, video and ebook reading and have been keeping a spare battery with me. Typically, I'll kill the first battery and get down to 50% on the second by the end of the day. Swapping and keeping two batteries charged (with the external charger) is a bit of a pain tbh, so the promise of over double battery life puts it into iPad territory for me. Not too fussed about the extra bulk, used a Mophie Juice Pack Air for nearly the entire life of my iPhone 4,I actually prefer a slightly convex back for purposes of holding it securely. The Mugen isn't for everyone but I can't wait to get my hands on it.
