Nice Leather Case - Galaxy Tab Accessories

Hi I found this one on ebay and was thinking about buying this instead of waiting for the original samsung ware.
What do you thing?
http://cgi.ebay.de/ZENUS-LEATHER-CA...429511?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2eb0f65607

It looks GREAT! I was looking for a case with a strap too
Go for it!
2 other choices to think about ( lower priced ones without straps )

http://www.amazon.co.uk/Original-Sa...S6KY/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1289164129&sr=8-3

I bought that one from Zenus. Waiting for it to show up here !

I just got my dk grey/ylw zenus case in. Great quality. The pics on their website are spot on.

Where are you located and how long did it take for you to get the zenus case? Was there a tracking number and where did you order from?

I did the faster shipping option to get tracking ($26 US), and I placed the order on the official website (www.zenuscase.com). The order was placed very late on Tuesday evening (Nov 2), the order was processed/shipped on Wednesday/Thursday, and I recieved the package on Friday afternoon in central US. The tracking showed every detailed step of the process, even that it was momentarily held at customs in Chicago. Kinda unbelievable that it flew around the world and made it into my hands so quickly!
I don't think the cheaper shipment option includes tracking but I could be mistaken.

Be careful -- photos for this one do not show it has rear-facing camera opening -- I am returning one I purchased only to discover it has not provision for the rear-facing camera.

I just ordered my zenus case Grey and yellow I hope it arrives soon! need to protect my baby

? But it DOES have an opening, check the 3rd photo

I just received the cheap silicon skin I ordered for my Galaxy Tab. It's perfect for my usage pattern, but I can see that the tight-fitting won't be tight enough for some users (the rubbery edges are soft enough to slip off the tablet). I like it because it doesn't increase the dimensions of the tablet, it protects the plastic case in the unfortunate event of a (short) fall, and it offers more grip than the white plastic material at the back of the Tab (which is good for when resting the Tab near the edge of a table, or simply when holding the Tab with one hand).

I have bought the official notebook/stand case from Samsung:

So far I'm happy with it!

I was waiting for the original case... but after seeing shots and the quality of the case, I think the Zenus cases are of MUCH better quality and looks. D3O technology is interesting though....

Well the Zenus case is not exactly in the same price tag... You can get 2 official cases for the price of one Zenus case!
Still, the original case is made of genuine leather and d30 so I don't know why you doubt the quality? Plus I'm not too fond of the black/orange color of the Zenus... But I have to admit it looks nicely finished, although probably not as secure as the original one (lack of d30)...

I can confirm that there is indeed a hole for the rear camera and LED flash on the zenus color edge.
Why I chose the zenus case over the official samsung notebook/stand case:
-Less intrusive on the tablet's front.
-It was already available for order.
-Slightly better styling in my opinion.
Zenus does offer two other cases for the tab already, more conservative in design, and cheaper to compete with the official case.
If I hadn't found the zenus case, I would have been on board with the offical notebook/stand case as it seems very nice. One wouldn't go wrong choosing to go either way I believe.

Yeah, I guess they do cost more. I do like the different/bright colored accents so I guess I am sold on that. I like how the case is made though and the finishing.
Still waiting to see the official beige slip case. Zinio also has a really nice slip case which will be released Nov 11th...

Okay finally I brought the Zenus one, for a 700€ device I wont protect it with a 10¢ case like the silicons on ebay or some mid quallity like the samsung cases.
First I was waiting of the leather book release by samsung but at least I decided that its stupid because it cost just some bucks less and its only pressed leather (see edges) and it may only got collored plastic back, second thought was to wait at otterbox but according to their pricepolitik »bigger device» higher price this is out of buisiness.(ipad about 90$)
So I will make a review when its arrived.

Ordered the yellow and gray zenus case, it's simply beautiful, and I'm too impulsive to wait for vaja cases, Piel Frama and Piquadro to come out with their annunced galaxy case.
And b.t.w. The zenus one is very similar to the 200$ vaja case for the ipad
P.S.
I used the faster shipping option, and will review it as soon as it arrive
Sent from my Galaxy Tab

Oooo... I love Vaja cases... no wonder I was drawn to the zenus cases... I too paid for the more expensive shipping option. Can't wait to see mine... and yeah... grey and yellow rules!

My £500 Tab is nicely wrapped inside its soft rubbery £4 silicon skin, with the advantage of the versatile orientation options not being compromised by a thick and heavy flappy cover on one side
Each to his own though, it really depends on the usage pattern (need for pocket-ability, risks of falls, etc.). I really like the looks of the leather covers, but personally they would compromise my experience of the touch tablet.

Samsung Case / Stand

Got this from Clove this morning.
Seems fine. Obscures top 15% of front facing camera ... but aside from that a good fit.
Not sure how solid it is in 'stand' mode
Just waiting for the delayed screen protectors now.

I am waiting for the answer from samsung as i got the same problem with the front camera. This is an official accessory for the tab. The edge of my case even on the screen as well.

Now that is a nice case... If I had not yet ordered my Zenus case, I would have gone with this one. Price is cheaper than the Zenus case and it looks like its much better quality than the original Samsung one. Having said that, I do love the Zenus cases...

Yes this one does work nice. I have it, and it is the main leather one that T-Mobile is carrying in-store. I like the two different positions that are available for the stand...

That's a nice looking case, but I contacted them and they have no stock atm. They're expecting them to be in stock by the end of the month.
Also...they don't ship to eu and their eu shop doesn't list the galaxy tab case at all...damn...it does look nice..!
I received my Samsung case yesterday and it has already been binned. An absolutely awful product. The bottom band 1/3 covered the capacitance buttons making the Tab very difficult to use. A complete waste of £18.99!
Looking on the internet reveals that all the better cases seem leave the buttons completely unobstructed, it's almost as if the manufacturers took a few minutes to actually look at and think about the product they were actually designing the case for.
It is pretty odd and more than a little annoying that Samsung endorse this rubbish as an 'official' case and secondly didn't include any kind of cover for a premium £500 device in the box.
That said I really can't rate the Tab highly enough, truly brilliant device. I never was sold on the ipad due its massive size/weight (may as well carry a laptop) and nothing on this earth would force me back to the hell of itunes.....
I have that same case and love it. Its actually cheaper at verizon stores for $39.99 and even cheaper if you have employee discount through your employer.

I've got the schoshe case also, picked it up today with my new tab and so far so good. The case is rather expensive at 49.99 from the tmobile store however it seems like it's high quality, leaves the tab 100% functional, and has a couple different angles for landscape view when you want to prop it up.
Wish the Schosche case as available in Canada. Let's see if I can find one in South Jersey and have it shipped to my dads.
Piel Frama also has their Tab case. Expensive and takes 15 days to deliver.

The one on Broadway and Waverly Place carries one and an Incipio case as well. I like the one from Verizon Wireless more though. It's a grainier leather.
this one: http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/370/productID/2054
seems to be the same type of case and it says it's only leather texture. That would explain the odd chemical smell mine has been giving off since I got it. Still a nice case though.
I'm thinking of getting Zenus case, then I changed my mind when I saw T-Prop standing case, and I think I might get that one instead. Since I'm still new, can't post a link yet..
Thanks

Thanks for your reply. I picked up one from the T Mobile store on 36th street and 8th avenue. This is a very nice case indeed.
Here's my Incipio case that i bought from tmobile store for $49. I love this case a lot as it looks good on my tab and protects it at the same time. It's similar to the otterbox defender case with dual layer protection a rubber inner layer with a hard plastic shell on the top it even has a stand. This model is not listed on their website yet, grab one on your local tmobile store and you wont be dissapointed.
Here's the picture i took:

I got the official "Samsung Galaxy tab Leather book cover" today. No problems with the camera hole. Nothing in the way of capaticance buttons. Fast access to SIM, MICROSD, buttons etc..
Real leather, slim and stylish. Aprox 25 EUR here in Norway.
The tab fits nice and is hold in the case same way as the Zenus.
Must be two cases from Samsung for the tab. The case I got is totally different from what is described in this tread

Anyone know where to find a good case?

I have picked up the Samsung Focus and need to get a case but I can't find any available. Anyone find a good case that is in stock?

Those are pouches, the case he is talking about is always on his phone.
There are a few cases on the AT&T website now. There is the Body Glove case that doesn't have cutouts for the buttons. It's ashame since I have the Body Glove case on my Capitivate and it's perfect.
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...56&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
There is also a Case-Mate case:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...88&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
It looks nice but $35.00 is pretty pricey.
There is an Incipio case which looks interesting:
http://www.wireless.att.com/cell-ph...58&q_manufacturer=samsung&q_model=prod4900501
Has anybody tried this case yet?
Here is the same incipio case:

Same price as AT&T... $29.99
Has anyone picked one up yet?

The incipio looks nice. Wonder if the local AT&T store has it yet so if I don't like it I can return it.
the incipio case is the one i have... its ok, if the sides came up over the top edge a little more it would protect the screen but i suppose it would also change the feel of the phone substantially. Additionally the camera button is awkward to use with the case on. That said, it removes easily (but wont fall off) and appears to do an adequate job of protecting the back.
For people with the Incipio cases, does it cover the front at all? I'm looking to get the InvisibleShield too an am worried it may cause issues with how it fits.
The Incipio case is nice, but it does not cover the display at all. From past experience with InvisibleShield, assuming it only covers the glass on the display, the two should work fine together.
Excellent. That's exactly what I wanted to hear.

Im returning mine. The fitment is sub par... you can see the gap by just looking into the opening for the power button.
I'm gonna hold out for a good case. I'm waiting on Speck, Otterbox, or a Case Mate Tough case to provide a good quality and protective case.
focus case
Im having the same problem finding a good focus case. I'm currently waiting on my replacement phone to come in because my first one already got dropped and busted. It fell flat on its face no more that two feet off the side of my couch and the glass screen cracked in half. I was leaning towards the incipio case but im thinking it really needs to protect the screen, and i dont think a screen shield would do anything to help break the impact of a fall.
It just blows that of the few cases that are out there, most are out of stock / not available yet, and even more are just crappy cases.
I just got my Incipio Feather case. I like it, though I am also ordering a screen protector.
Honestly, i would like to know who makes some of these ridiculous decisions. Who decided to go to market with these 3 cases for a new phone, which is one of ATT's flag ships for a brand new OS. One is pretty much just cosmetic and as many have said, fits poorly. The second is practically a joke, which causes nothing but problems with the hardware keys. And the third is actually pretty nice, except for the fact that it's red! and not even a true red, but a "verges on the edge of pink" red. not that there aren't people who like red or whatever shade of red the case happens to be - i'm sure there are; however, if the case had been black or dark gray, it would've sold far more units instead of still being on the shelf in every store (at least where i live, anyways.)

Just bought a case for $4.99 on ebay

Hey everyone. I just purchased this black case on ebay for 5 bucks. I'll leave a review once I receive it but here is the link.

It will be a while before you get it since it is from Hong Kong, so please don't forget about the review in 2 to 3 weeks when you finally get it! Especially curious since the last picture is a Nokia phone.
I bought one from a usa seller should get this week.

I think that last picture is the same for every style phone. I found a thread on XDA about the same case for the N1 and it had very good reviews. But I'll be sure to follow up with my review and photos.
Any update on this case? Does it provide enough protection?

Still waiting on delivery. Supposed to get it by the 27th. Will post photos and give a review.
I got my case. I like the case a lot. It looks great how the glossy finish matches the dell perfectly. The case is bendable and offers a very snug fit on the streak. The only thing that should work better is the button pressing needs to be pressed with some force.

REVIEW!
Hey everyone! Just got my case in today that I ordered on ebay from seller dcmugen88. I purchased the "JET BLACK Epik Case TPU Jacket+anti Dell Streak Mini 5".
I ordered the case on December 12 for $4.99 and received it today. Free Shipping is included but the estimated shipping time was between 3 and 4 weeks. I was able to expedite the shipping for an additional $1.94 and delivery was estimated between Dec. 20th and Dec. 27th. So all in all, I paid $6.93 for the case and it took 12 days to receive. The seller is shipping from Hong Kong and I received it via USPS.
My first impression of the case upon opening was excellent. Here's a shot of the case in it's packaging.
Included with the case is a clear screen protector. This is a nice throw in...especially for $4.99. I don't currently have a screen protector on my streak, and I'm not sure that I'll apply this one. Since the screen is made from Gorilla Glass, it should be able to withstand normal wear and tear. I'm pretty easy on my gadgets as well...so I have that going for me =) But the screen protector looks to be your average mill. It's not the rubbery kind like the invisibleSHIELD made by ZAGG (which I had on my captivate and hated!).
Free screen protector
Back to the case. The case is very sleek and thin. It's not much deeper than the streak itself. Here are a few photos without the phone in the case from different angles.
This is a form fitting case. I previously had a vinyl skin from Skinit. So when trying to put the case on, it was catching on the edge on the skin. I decided then and there to take the skin completely off and I'm glad I did. The case and phone together look NICE! It's the perfect combination with the black glossy case and large glossy screen. I forgot how good the phone looked with the full screen in all it's glory.
Front screen shot
Rear shot
The functionality with the case on the streak is pretty good. You don't have access to the buttons on the side/top (depends on how you hold it). It definitely takes some extra pressure to control the volume and to press the wake/power button. This isn't a downfall though. I actually like having the buttons covered. It makes me feel like I won't press them inadvertently. There is a cutout for the 1/8 inch headphone jack for easy access.
You have full access to the PDMI port on the bottom/side of the phone. There is no plug in that covers the opening like in the otterbox cases.
Side view
The back of the case has a opening for the speaker, but there isn't one for the dell logo. I consider this a good thing since there is less chance to get debris/trash in the phone which could potentially scratch it. There is a cut out for the camera and dual LED flash as well.
OVERALL:
This is a great case! You can not beat the cost at roughly 5 bucks. I saw in earlier in the thread that some XDA members were buying their cases in the States, so you might find a better deal elsewhere (maybe somebody can post a link?).
My concern with cases in general is that they will be too bulky. This case is the opposite of that. I notice virtually no difference in the feel of the phone w/ the case on in my pocket. It does feel a little more substantial in the hand...but I think that's good. Having the phone with only a skin on it made me feel like I needed to handle it with kid gloves. That's not the case anymore (pun not intended).
There are many other colors available on the sellers ebay store. He also offers different deals. 5 for $15. 2 for $7. That kind of thing.
My sister and her husband just ordered the red unlocked streaks of dell.com and are due to receive them in January. They just ordered their clear cases tonight.
Okay...that's all I have. I hope this helped everybody and feel free to pm me or post in this thread.
Merry Christmas everyone!
Got mine today too. It is nice for the price.
I to have bought this case in jetblack. Love it. If you can wait it out from hong kong, the $5 price is a really good steal! Fits perfect!
But I will suggest. Put 2 pieces of clear tape in the inside of it where the Dell Logo sits at on the back where the battery cover is. If not, give it some time. It will eventually pull the ring off of the Dell Logo. When I noticed, I put the Ring back on the battery cover, and put the pieces of tape in on the case itself. Works fine!
Ordered mine last night
This case is by far the best looking case for the dell streak. It might not offer the protection like a otterbox but it defintely looks great.

I remember emailing dcmugen88 ages ago to make a case for the Streak, he said that it wasnt possible at the time but good to see its been made.
I placed my order today for my red streak. Thanks for posting this thread!
I got the same black shiny case. I don't like it at all. I wanted a rubber gel case like the hd2 comes with, so i can put it on and take it off easily. The details say rubber gel, but its more like soft plastic and its tough to get it on and off because the corners are to tough to fold back. I only need to use a case in certain situations, so this is garbage to me. Let me know if anyone finds one that is real soft gel like the hd2 came with.

It's available in other colors at US$4.30 plus shipping worldwide if anyone cares...
(We took the photos in actual red Dell Streak so the transparency made the color a little odd)

I had a case made from the same material for a Nokia e71 - it was great. All the benefits of a silicone case without the lint collecting or pocket clinging.
I had hoped to get on for my streak but I couldn't find anything and finally dropped the money for the Otterbox Commuter. I've very impressed with the Otterbox, but I think I would have been just as happy with this.

The Search for the Nexus 10 Sleeve/Case/Cover of my Deams (and possibly others')

First off, let me describe what I look for in a case/ sleeve.
First and foremost, I want a premium look and feel, preferably leather, but other materials will do. I paid a large sum of money for this gorgeous tablet, and I would like to put it in a gorgeous case. In my opinion, getting a slim tablet and putting it in a tank like case defeats the purpose of the tablet being thin in the first place.
Typically the premium factor is limited to sleeves. I have not found any high end leather CASES, they're all either pleather, or low quality leather, and look poor on the tablet. Also most leather cases that double as stands look weird, or have too much excess material to secure the tablet to the 'board' of sorts on the back of the case.
Shown here:
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
As far as cases go, cases that have a cover, but then fold back to form a weird angled stand like so: http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Google-Elastic-Included-Warranty/dp/B009RZPH1G/ref=pd_sim_pc_10
are just weird in my opinion, they look odd, and I don't want that much snapping on and off the corners of the tablet, it'll create ware.
However Sleeves often do not have a clasp, or a securing mechanism, but as far as I can tell, friction will do it's job of keeping the tablet in the case, especially due to the Nexus 10's grippy back.
So far I have found two cases that employ both form, function, and a premium feel.
A sleeve: http://www.dodocase.com/products/durables-sleeve-for-nexus-10
(Although it is neither made of leather, nor does it have a clasp)
and a Case: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimbook-Leather-Function-Warranty/dp/B00A6X4048/ref=pd_sim_pc_2
(Also not leather, but the leather texture will do if realistic enough. At least I don't think it's leather)
I do have one question about the poetic slimbook case I just linked to, would the cover of that stay attached and covered if held upside down via a magnet of sorts, or is it rather flimsy, and just flops around, as a slave to gravity?
To close, I would like to ask a few questions.
Does anyone else have a want for a premium case or sleeve, or am I the only one?
Has anyone found cases or sleeves that are similar to the ones mentioned above (the last two, not the first two)?
Any word on that smart cover that the nexus 10 was unveild with, shown in the video from The Verge Hands on and such.
Also I'd like to mention that I'm really interested in buying a product from http://www.vajacases.com/ however they conveniently do not have a nexus 10 case.
You hit the nail on the head. My thoughts on cases are basically yours. And the Vajacases are really awesome but in my opinion too much premium and therefore too expensive. I think i'll wait for the verge-video-case which hopefully seamlessly attaches to the N10. It can't be too expensive as well. I'm curious when we'll get more information on the same.

I ordered the Slimline, and got this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A6X3ZM6/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00 in the meantime. I it arrived yesterday. I'm going to return the Poetic that's in the OP when it arrives. This one is nice.

If you want to send it up to me in Canada I will pay you full price. We can't get the poetic cases up here. Which one were you going to return?
There's a thread now in accessories with a video and pics of the poetic slimbook a guy just received. I also ordered one as there's only 3 left in stock and it looks good enough for me.

SF bags offer some good looking high quality sleeves.
http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-slipcase.php. In this slipcase video, it shows kindle fire slipcase and it shows that even when turned upside down, the kindle won't come out.
they have plenty other choices but it's pre-order for now and start to ship at 11 december. The prices are kinda steep but since you don't care much about price, might as well try it out. Personally, i love the citysleek design.

I've looked through and seen all of the SF bags for the Nexus 10 a while ago, the suede jacket (http://www.sfbags.com/products/nexus-cases/nexus-suedejacket.php) seems to be to my liking. I personally would want something with a little more protection (I don't know how, but I feel like leather would protect it more than suede, despite them being virtually the same material).
The city slicker one is cool, and so is the out back one, but as far as the city slicker and other multipurpose/ travel/ compartmentalized cases go, I already have a North Face Surge bag, so I don't need any more space. I'm looking for a case or sleeve that would protect my tablet INSIDE of my other back, as well as protect it from day to day carrying outside of my backpack, such as if I'm driving to a friend's house, I'd want to case it and throw it on my passenger seat.
I know the previous sentance is a run on, but it's 4:30 am where I am, and I don't care about run on-s and grammar at the moment.

Looks like they'll have one for the Nexus 10 eventually.
How about the SFBags Nexus 10 Smart Case? It looks to be right up your alley.

The Nexus 7 case was well reviewed. I'd like a quality case too, but $100+ makes me think twice considering the life of gadgets.
Thanks for the heads up. Looks like it's pre order now and becoming available at the end of the month.
Here is the sfbags.com sleeve with optional pocket for the Nexus 10. Ordered it Friday morning and paid for the FedEx ground delivery and was upgraded to the priority delivery for free and received it Monday morning. This thing is nicely made and it was exactly what I was looking for, tablet goes in snug and has 3 anchors to help to you insert it and remove it from the sleeve. The mesh pocket is a extra feature and I use it to carry my freedompop hotspot and a stylus pen. I am hoping that when the oem cover is release, it will fit without a problem but its a very snug fit.
Only thing I would change would be added a cord at the end to fully enclose the device inside. I paid $32 shipped to me.
Here are the pictures:

I've actually been looking at this case since it appears that the nexus 10 is pretty similar in size to the note 10.1, and this case seems to offer good protection.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nimbus-10-U...1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1355416000&sr=1-1
Anyone know anything about it or have any opinions?
EDIT: On closer inspection it seems the nexus 10 is too wide. Odd, I thought there was a different version of the case for bigger tablets but I can't seem to find it.
I just received an Ultimate Sleeve case from SFBags for my Nexus 10. This is one nice sleeve. It's very sturdy, well-made, and fits the Nexus 10 perfectly. I bought it to protect the tablet while traveling and I think this sleeve will do a far better job than the Case Logic case I bought and returned. I don't care to test it, but the SFBags sleeve has thick padding and the plastic insert sewn into one side should prevent damage for anything short of a drop-kick. I definitely feel a lot better about throwing my Nexus 10 into a backpack or suitcase. It's not cheap but it's worth it if you're looking for quality protection.
SF Bags Slip Case
Received mine yesterday. It is $36 (shipping included) well spent. It fits tight and looks good.
I got the CitySlicker from SF Bags. It's really a quality sleeve/bag. :good: I imagine it will be too big for some, but it's great having space for headphones and a cleaning cloth with the tablet at all times. Also looks and feels high end.
For the price, I sure hope it fits whatever I end up replacing the Nexus 10 with down the road!
I second SF bags. I have their slip case and couldn't be happier.

Hybrid Case from TVC-MALL

Hey guys, I have an Incipio Dual Pro, which I like, but it has a few negatives, mainly the silicone around the charging port flexes to much, and the back, while nice initially, scratched, and while I don't mind it, it doesn't look so good, since it had a brushed aluminum finish that now has shinier parts on it, etc.
Anyways, found this case on TVC MALL and it is basically an Incipio Dual Pro clone, with a few changes.
1. The inner silicone sleeve is permanently attached to the hard shell via an adhesive.
2. It isn't quite as ridgid as the Incipio.
3. The silicone feels of a bit lower quality.
4. It comes in more colors, and matte finish, and in my opinion looks better.
They are both equally as slippery. So it won't improve your grip. Also, the case is inexpensive, but shipping costs are on the high side, since it ships direct from China. Looking at around $10 or less total though for a single case. IF you add more items shipping cost per item will decrease, even though shipping itself goes up.
My brother and I ordered aroudn 25 cases, mostly iphone cases for my mom to decorate and sell on etsy, and it only cost around $36 I think total for the order.
Anyways, Pics are on the site, but thought I would link them here if the links work. I don't have any of it on my phone since my phone is my camera.
Hybrid Case Click me to go to TVC Mall and buy!

I just placed an order from TVC-Mall yesterday as well, ordered Defender and Survivor knock off cases Assuming you are in US, how long did it take for your cases to get to you? Yeah, the shipping turned out to be pretty high considering I got spoiled by $2 ebay accessories shipped free from China lol!!! So I ordered 4 cases (two for GN2 and two for my kids ipod touches - all brand name knock offs) and one pair of headphones (monster beat earbud knock offs) - shipping was $19 through China post with 15-20 day delivery. That's kind of high, but there is NO other place where I can order these cases, and honestly I ordered it mostly out of high curiosity to see how close they come to original Of course I will be realistic the quality will not be on the same level.

Go to www.case-parts.com (the same TVC Mall under a different name), and type in "otterbox" They have 1:1 Defender knock off (under Denfender name) in all 3 colors, just scroll down. They also have Commuter cases in various colors, but not for Note 2.
Thanks for the link. Bookmarked..
But how's the quality of the products?
Thats a great site, I bought that same case in the OP and a few other things. Awesome prices.

We have another thread going on about these knock off cases; 2 of the guys already got it and commented about Survivor case only:

I'm supposed to be getting both Survivor and Defender knock offs either today or on Monday. Since I have original Survivor for iPod touch, and had Defender (prior to returning it back), I will do a more detailed review/comparison with my comments soon. Stay tuned!
But in general, don't expect a great quality of material for something that costs small fraction of the price. I'm not saying that Otterbox and Griffin cases actually cost a lot more for them to manufacture since it made in China anyway. It's just that hose companies have a huge overhead and charge a huge premium whenever new case is released. I just saw original Otterbox Defender on Amazon for $35, down from their MSRP of $60 (still, how much they charge for it at Verizon store).
The reason why I'm personally excited to receive and to review these two cases because original Otterbox Defender had issues with its screen protector and I'm curious if knock off actually fixed it i Furthermore, Griffin never even released Survivor for Note 2.
recently, i found another site fg-mall.com, just another tvc-mall site, great site.
