Tech21 doesn't seem to get a lot of attention in this group. I'm just wondering what everyone thinks. I have an Evo Check for my phone and it is a great case. Fits well and seems like it would protect the phone. Still, I also want a folio type case, to protect the screen. Tech21 has this case: https://www.tech21.com/en_us/evo-wallet-galaxy-note8-black
Does anyone have any experience with it that would tell me whether it would be a good or bad purchase?
Their cases are too slippery and they make so few cases for the Note 8 I over look them. Quality is crap for how much they cost

Yes, they are quite expensive.

I hope this information helps. I also wanted a folio type case to protect the cover as all the screen protectors seem to be pretty lacking. I went with my wife to the T-Mobile store where she wanted to get an S8 Plus and this case that you picked out was close to what she got. Was given a drop test by the cashier using his own phone. The packaging was pretty plain and I wasn't that impressed but wanted to get in and out and we got it. After checking it out after she had it a few weeks I went ahead and ordered the one that you pasted a link for above. Honestly I recommend it. Pretty sturdy and thin but protects the phone quite nicely. has a clip clasp and obviously covers the front. Not bulky but not skimpy either... My fourth case for the note lol and this one is a keeper.. Go for it.

I use the Tech21 EVO as it fits with the Dome Glass protector I have. This is my first Tech21 case but the version I got is not slippery at all due to the back.

Looked into that. Its a nice case, but that clasp needs to be magnetic or something, I found the plastic push-in clasp to be cumbersome to open and close quickly.

My s5 it has a tech 21 case has 3 years old and it fel so many times. It is an impressive piece of engenering, just the sound it makes when it its the floor...it sounds muted like it is made from ruber.
Off course i would get a tech 21 for my note 8, choose the evo wallet because ...such a big screen ...
It is very expensive.
they are not slepery unless one has spider hands!
I wish they made a case that completly isolates the phone, and another one so that i can put the phone on my bikes like rokform does.
I am very happy with my evo!

I was going to get the mercury case, but from pictures it was way too thick for my liking so I decided to get this case. The case is titled to be silicone, but it doesn't look like silicone from the pictures so I emailed them and they said it was silicone material so I went for it. I received the case and it turns out it was a TPU case. This case feels REALLY thin for a TPU case so it doesn't add much bulk to the phone. This case is tailored to fit the i9023 so ALL cutouts are perfect and fit is perfect as well. Overall, if your looking for a good TPU case which doesn't add much bulk to it I would recommend this. I don't have a mercury TPU case to compare it to, but I'm really happy with how this turned out. The only con that I would have for this case is that the volume rocker buttons were a bit tight so it would be easily be pressed, but if you stretch the case a little it will fix that issue.

Amzer is a pretty decent company to buy from, and the skins are somewhat inexpensive. They sent me a few demo items to see if our stores were interested in carrying their Nexus 7 products... The overall fit was pretty snug, the skin seems fairly well made minus the edges which needed a little cleaning up. I didn't have any issues with the skin obstructing any features of the device, and it was easy to slip on and off. Here's a few pictures, hope they help with the decision making:

If you have any more questions please feel free to ask.
So just a little more feedback on this silicone skin... I dropped my Nexus 7 while getting out of my Jeep this morning (hands full and in a hurry to get to the office), and the blasted thing landed face down on concrete. If not for this skin I would instead be spending my evening searching for a replacement screen. It's by no means an otterbox, but the fact that it covers around the screen saved it.
Definitely give it two thumbs up!
Amzer silicone case
I got the black one bought at Expansys.com. It feels great, very thick rubber with a leather-like texture, reinforced with the x-shaped, thicker rubber piece in the middle that serves as an outer skeleton and adds extra rigidity. The case wraps around of all of the device without obstructing any holes/ports similarly to an otterbox impact cases.The edges serve the protective purpose. There is nothing wrong with them. They are spaced out more like the protruding edges of balistic cases. I feel confident that if my Nexus falls it will bounce off without any damage due to the case design. I store my Nexus when not in use in the bag inside a Case Logic Eva zippered case for additional screen protection.
We just reviewed one here at the office and the case does a pretty decent job. Not expensive either, so, I'd say worth the purchase.

This needs a bump, I ordered one from amazon.. and it was crap to say the least. I contacted Amzer and even though i ordered from a third party seller they offered to replace it for me for FREE! gotta love customer service! Other than that its a great case. :good:
Nice case!
I have the black one ordered from amazon as well.. It came in very quick . I agree this will protect the device from most bumps and bangs. this is the 3rd case i bought .
I am going to sell all 3 on ebay for a good price if i decide against buying another nexus 7.. not made my mind up. sent two back not sure i wanna deal with the hassles of google device support to order another..
anyway GREAT CASE for the money..
I ordered this case off ebay as well and it was shipped from California. I believe it was $10 with free shipping.

The case comes with these extended bumper corners which make holding the phone easier and provides extra protection from the Left Corner Drop of Doom. The weakest point of the case is the kickstand. The kickstand is flimsy and does not have a positive lock in place or a strong hinge when opened. the volume keys as well as the power key are covered. The charging port as well as the earphone jack are left exposed. The black rubber is harder than the standard TPU but not as hard as the white plastic that it is attached to.
All in all its a nice case

Nice case..found it too, with so many color variations..but they wont ship here..huhu..thanx for the review..
not a big fan at all, looks horrible!
Makes it look like the size of the Ziggy device on Quantum Leap show.
Well......
Im not sure how it makes the phone look bigger because the case isnt pictured with the phone in it.
Anyways I was in Sprint looking to see if they had gotten in either of my two favorites which are otterbox or ballistic and they hadnt. There was an older than me gentle man who was looking for a case for his phone and they had none and he said he was affraid he was going to break it. I explained that I understood seeing how my first one lasted 20hrs. I reached in my back pocket and gave him the case. He wanted to pay me for it but I told him it wasnt necessary and wished him a happy holiday season. He seemed a bit confused as well as the Sprint employees wonder why I was asking about a case when I am just pulling them out of my pocket giving them away like toys from Santa's bag. I think giving away an $8 freely shipped case to someone who will appreciate the act and may recipicate an act of kindnes to someone else this season is worth the small investment.
I have this exact case as well. It makes the phone too big for breast pockets, but still fine for pants pockets and carrying. I plan on only using it for when I need protection, but not as a daily driver. For the price, you can't beat it.
Ordered the same case. Do you have pics of the phone in it?
I have this case i think it feel really good in the Hand and looks good too. CLICK on the Link to see the Pictures

Agreed, but the TPU is a lot more stiff. Not certain but I would venture to guess these cases wouldn't do as well in drop tests.

I bought this case on ebay and I really like it. I think it is a great cost/benefit product.
I don't know about others because I live in Brazil and I have to pay a very expensive shipping. (1 US dollar = 2 BR reais)
It isn't a hard case but it feels like one and it protects all the coners and screen.
I have some pictures:

Funny, I have the same case. Basically, I got it because it was cheap (less than $5 shipped). The case itself is really good. The stand and holster, however, are poorly designed.
My holster clip broke after 3 days after the clip fell off 6 times and the silicone was tearing where the hard plastic met with it in the corners

I hate the tpu on this, its so flimsy.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I317 using xda app-developers app
True, holster clip is a junk. I wouldn't trust it. But kickstand was solid! Can even be used in flygrip style to hold the case
Got my hubby one of these... love the way it feels. Rubber is a lil too loose for peace of mind but it is relatively thin and design is pretty. So far holster is holding up ok
This case has no TPU. It's all silicone and hard plastic.
My kickstand is falling apart. It also doesn't stay open unless you "click" it into place (since it was new). Like I said, for the price, it really doesn't matter. But you can find better cases for about the same amount or maybe a little more. I didn't care much for the holster, but thought that I might use it if I have to wear formal attire. However, it is so hard to get the phone in and out of the damn thing, that I never did. The silicone headphone port protector also fell off, but no biggie.
My main gripes are the use of silicone instead of TPU and the crappy kickstand (which I use A LOT). When the kickstand finally breaks, I'll be getting another case with a properly designed kickstand. Hopefully, by then a proper one will be out (like the one I used to have on my HTC Evo).

Off topic: yes, we both got refurbs for .99 cents each (plus upgrade fee). Skyrocket is now being used by my 2 1/2 year old son until it gets sold. Pretty happy with the note2 except for the bulk. Still shopping for decent case... I think I'll buy my husband a defender case when this one breaks. He is a disaster in the making when it comes to phones. Lol
The Seidio active Holster fits this case perfectly. They make an great combo. In fact I shelved the Seidio Active case and kept using this one with the Seidio Holster since they make a damn good combo
Was wondering if the above mentioned case has a slight sticky tacky feel to it which I like.?
I remember the Tech21 Mesh series ones on older Samsung devices had a wonderful slight tacky sticky feel to thier edges of the cases. Thanks.

I've been using this case since day one. I tried a few others, but keep coming back to it. It's a great case. I'm not sure about tacky, but it is not slick. I've never even come close to dropping my phone.
Just one word of warning. My wife got the white Evo Check, and the white yellowed pretty quickly. We just threw it away and got a cheap case on Amazon for her. My black case is still in perfect shape.

I primarily use a leather type folding case on the N8, but have tried a few regular cases which I find in all honesty uncomfortable to hold for long.
I find the edge tpu plastic or whatever it is hard to the touch. Was hoping to find a case that has soft compressible sides. The skins are soft and pliable but the edges are too thin for protection.

Note8 Tech21 evo check users, can help see if your case inside edge facing screen near top of power button is there a small extra protruding bit? Wondering if mine is defective. Thanks. Mine is black case, also tell me if yours is black or white.
