I've been looking for a phone casing with a S-pen holder but have not manage to find one that is minimalistic, slim and comes with a holder that doesn't add much to the overall width of the phone. So I decided to make a holder out of 48 pieces of block magnets (5mm x 2mm x 1mm) and I stick them to the phone casing and S-pen using double sided tapes.
Things to note :
1) The magnets should be strong but not too strong to cause issues with the screen.
2) Magnets should not be too near to the tip of S-pen to cause issues with the pen.
3) Double sided tapes must be strong enough to hold the magnets to prevent it from detaching from the Pen/Casing. Super glue may be better in this case.
Hope the above helps for anyone that is looking for a similar solution.

I advise against super glue as it only binds plastic to plastic. Initially it gives the impression that it works with other materials but after a while it fails catastrophically.
The dual sided tape is pretty thin so thats good. If however is starts falling, you should consider an alternative glue, NOT super glue.
Otherwise, acceptable creation.
Why so crazy ideas boys? Just buy Nillkin Aoge Leather Case : 12 USD on Aliexpress + Pen from Note 8 (black version) which suits this case much, much better than the latest Samsung pen (and is way cheaper ofc). Case quality is really good. It holds the phone perfectly well, there are no problems with the screen protectors. It also protects camera section. Leather is also good quality. And it looks expensive I do reccomend it. I have bought 2 pcs just in case.

What's the inside look like?is it hard plastic? Or TPU type of material?
The frame is made from TPU (I think 2mm thick) - something between elastic TPU and a hard plastic. Back is from plastic, covered by leather.

Very nice ! Congrats. I do reccomend also an alloy/metal cover for camera section (without glass). It protects from scratches. I did not buy it earlier and now have some of them. Why without the glass? It does not produce reflections

My Review:
Contents: Plastic Case box; Flip Case; x1 included Screen Protector
Build Quality: Synthetic leather, flexible with a nice texture feel to it. The magnet on the flap is nice due to it's length it stays in position when you close the case. There is a hard shell casing for the phone that you would just slide the GN2 right in. The screen protector on the other hand is a simple cheap build quality item I would suggest something better, it however covers about 90% of the surface and leave's a few centimeters of spacing at the edges.
The padding itself in the inside feel's cheap it can get dirty; it uses the same type of cloth as you would find in a glasses case.
3.5/5
Fit: Nice a slim fit, if you stacked two credits cards on each other that's the thickness around the case. Phone fits nice not bulky it just fits very well. Slides in a pocket with ease and stay's put and easy to take out.
5/5
S-Pen Access: Very hard to take out unless you have nails, if you don't use the S-Pen often this won't be much of an issue.
2.5/5
Protection: Good overall protection, on the negative side the top and bottom edges of the phone is exposed however the hard casing that fits the phone provides protection at the corners. The magnet also stays in place due to it's length it doesn't pop the phone case open so easily in my pocket (it fits in my pocket as well) and stays put.
3/5
Overall Opinion: This case is quite nice for it's price tag $9;
4/5

Black Dolce Matrix Pouch Case Cover Stand
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-DOLCE-MATRIX-POUCH-CASE-COVER-STAND-SAMSUNG-GALAXY-NOTE-2-N7100-ACCESSORY-/330825025753?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item4d06b548d9&_uhb=1
Contents: Plastic Wrapped Case; Flip Case
Build Quality: Hard plastic casing, interior has a silky texture for protection from scratches to the screen. The front cover & flap is a little flimsy and hard to align to the magnet to close the case. Magnet is not too strong but wish it would be bigger for more accurate magnetic case closing like the Black Leather case above.
2/5
Fit: Very slim fit to the phone and barely add's much thickness. Front cover sticks out a bit when closed at the magnet end. Having the phone in stand formation the grip on the sily interior holds the phone up by friction.
4/5
S-Pen Access: Very hard to take out unless you have nails, if you don't use the S-Pen often this won't be much of an issue.
2.5/5
Protection: Decent protection, unlike the Black Leather casing there is more cover area for the bumper's on the top and bottom of the phone. Front cover easily opens due to weak magnet so it won't do too well for a fall. This case is more for scratch protection while storing away via pocket/bag.
2.5/5
Overall Opinion: For $14.95 it's not worth it at that price point, the Black Leather at $8.95 has a much better build. However if your looking for a simple case to protect the screen during storage this would be for you.
2.5/5

They should be coming in by the end of the week I'll be posting a review about these once I try them out!
First one looks like original Note, although their title says Note 2. I would double check with a seller to be sure its not a typo.

It looks like I have the second one but without the fancy print. I like the case very much. It's good protection without adding a lot of bulk.
One drawback though, it is very difficult to get the pen out of the Note while using this case. But I don't use the pen anyway so for me it is not a big problem.
Just got the first case in the mail, updated my review on it via OP.

Don't mean to double post just adding that I have received the last case and put up my review, I hope you guy's find it useful if your looking for something cheap on ebay.
**NOTE** This review is pretty much identical to my Note 4 Pierre Cardin review! Same basic case, same fitment. Different color.
So I wanted to get my mom a nice leather case for her Note 5, and I found this Pierre Cardin case. I decided to go with the red leather for her, and she really likes it a lot!
They say it's genuine leather; it feels really good in the hand. It's not too slippery, and it's not to stiff. Protection wise, it's nothing special because it's one of those cases you just slip the phone into that doesn't have top/bottom protection. This case is thick enough and covers the corners enough that I'm sure if it dropped, it would still be ok. All access to the ports/s-pen work fine.

The stitching on the back looks cool; it's red to match the red leather that runs up and down the back, and around the camera. The brand name Pierre Cardin is punched into the back at the bottom, along with a logo.
There is a nice small lip that runs around the bezel so that you can easily put the phone face down without having to worry.
The cutouts on the side for power and volume are shaped well and easily accessible.
All in all, this is a really cool case. It feels nice, it fits the phone nice! This seems to be an UPDATED version of this case that fits better than the original, and I can report that there are NO fitment issues with this one as opposed to the older reviews of it.

The owner of purfit design, Emma Leuang, contacted for a review for their wallet case for Galaxy Note 8.
To be honest, i never thought it could this great before i receive it.
The wallet is made of genuine leather (cowhide), Unlike the regular leather, this leather is top grain, a little bit shinny than regular, but the leather smells so good.

If you are looking for a reasonably priced genuine leather wallet case , you might want to check out the this flip wallett. Crafted from what is described as Italianleather, this is undoubtedly a nicely made leather wallet case. It has two card slots and one clear identity card window, as well as a slide pocket for extra cards or cash, and it has a stand function as well. The money slot is a a little bit narrow, so it will secure your card without falling out.
The side magnetic closure works great, it has 2 part magnetic, will give your case a decent close without affect the S-Pen. ( I have tried several cases, the magnetic does make your S-Pen crazy)
Insertion and removal of yourphone is easy, due to the flexible TPU phone compartment. Like nearly all wallet cases of this type, it gets obese quite quickly when very many cards are put into its card slots and doesn’t close all that well, but as long as only a few cards are used, it still closes acceptably.
Overall, this is a nice option for a lower priced leather wallet case. It is currently available for $31 on Amazon and comes in both black and cognac. Many thanks to Emma and her child for sending this sample out to me to review.
BTW, she gives a portion of profit to American Cancer Society,

update, the glass screen protector works on it
wireless charging works too
That's a nice looking case. I've considered getting one like that, to keep something covering my phone when it's in my pocket. I need something to protect the screen and I've learned over the years that I completely suck at putting on screen protectors. I don't even try anymore. So one question I have is, do you think that there's any possibility that the cover could scratch the glass? Ideally I'd like something with a felt interior as I feel that would truly minimize the chances of scratching. I just don't seem to be able to find a decent case that has it.

get a whitestone shell
I was looking at a leather case like this and then I remember the corner drop problem. no protection. I would love a leather case like this if I could take the Note 8 with UAG Monarch installed and then take the Note 8 with the Monarch and put it in a leather case. Best of both worlds.

Not very good advice for someone who admittedly is bad at putting on screen protectors. The Whitestone installation is ridiculously complicated to do right the first time and for 50 bucks they should throw 2 pieces of glass in there. It's the biggest huckle going that people are promoting the Whitestone protectors. They also have horrible CS should you need them.
Hi everyone!
The standard original Xiaomi TPU case, which was delivered with the phone satisfied my needs.
Now I wanted to buy another one of these, just to have a new shiny one my old looks to used up.
I remembered I bought a spare one for my Mi 6. Now I want to order a spare one for my Mi 8. Unfortunately I can't find it anywhere to buy.
Does someone know where I can order one of these?

Here is a decent TPU on Amazon, it's not the same one. But nonetheless, its good quality, and they have color options.
https://www.amazon.com/Xiaomi-Defender-Excellence-Protective-Bumper/dp/B07FNHS76L?th=1
I use this case and its outstanding: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07M5MP5L3/ref=twister_B07MCYZGQS?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
look on aliexpress
I am searching for the original tpu case, too.
I already tried this: https://www.banggood.com/Bakeey-Pudding-Soft-TPU-Protective-Case-For-Xiaomi-Mi8-Mi-8-p-1399292.html
It feels thicker all over and it seems to be a bit too bulky on the edges to use with a NILLKIN CP+MAX 3D Tempered Glass. It lifted one edge of my screen protector.
Second problem is that it's not exactly the same height as the screen protector. It doesn't feel good using gestures.
Second One I tried: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/TCI...ansparent-Acrylic-Hard-Phone/32884346578.html
Nice case, but still a lot thicker than the TPU case that came with my Mi 8. Fits nice around the Nillkin CP+MAX, but is still a bit higher. After 3 days of use my thumb could't take it anymore.
All original Xiaomi cases I found on Aliexpress weren't the tpu case delivered with the Mi 8. These are all so called "Liquid Silicone" cases that look like some kind of hard cover, or at least harder than TPU, with some kind of padding glued to the inside.
Any other suggestions for a case as thin as possible, just like the original tpu case?
Edit: I will try this one next: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/KIS...phone-F1-Mi-8-6-5-4-A1-A2-5X/32957378619.html
According to some reviews it does not cover the screen.
I can tell more in abour 5-7 weeks.
Try super case . Search it on AliExpress . It cost 11$ . Best case I ever had for mi8. .
The Nilkin clear case is nice. It's not the same. It has ridges down the side for grip and a few other details. It is a bit it thinner and fits more snugly. I prefer it and it's pretty cheap on AliExpress
The cheap Kisscase from Aliexpress fits nice around my tempered glass.
It is a bit thicker and there is a seam round the case that you can feel.
For the price, its quite good.

I receive ArmadilloTek series case for free to provide my feedback.
This is such a great case and I'm happy I gave it a chance. If you're looking for a rugged case, no need to spend twice as much or more for the bigger name brand. This one arrived nicely packaged with a "handwritten" note from the owners of the company. The case itself is 2 pieces and fits my S21 Ultra perfectly. I even have a LOCA glue glass screen protector and the case works great with it. The stand seems durable and works in both portrait or landscape for hands free viewing. The sides of the case are nice and grippy. The case overall is very well made and feels good in the hand. In the house I keep my phone in a minimalist case, but this one will no doubt be the case I slip my expensive phone into when I'm out and about.
Pros
1. Package and material
- Very well package and premium material
2. Design and fit
- I like the design. It is rugged case but not to bulky . The most important thing is the case feel very comfortable when i am holding it.
- Case fit perfectly with the phone. All cutout are precise , well design .
- Kickstand in the back very helpful. i can use the phone in both landscape and portrait mode.
- Volume and power buttons are on point. They are protrude out just enough to provide you a good feedback when you press them.
- The edge along the screen and around camera are raised off enough to protect the phone .
Cons
It does add some bulk, guess it is the paid price.
I recommend this case for people with kids, people work in construction and who workout outdoor a lot.
When it comes to protection, I always buy Otterbox cases, here. They are expensive, but the protection will always be flawless, it'll last you a lifetime (i still have my HTC HD2 with an otterbox case in perfect shape)
I've been using the Zizo Bolt for 10+ for over a year. Easy to hold, clean, slender, with 2/3 layered protection and it can take a hard drop onto concrete.
It's done an excellent job and shows no wear. The catch for the kick stand broke after about 6 months but I use it a lot. I get a new case anyway after a couple hard corner hits to be on the safe side; to guard against unseen material fatigue.
$20 a pop is chump change... the 10+ is not.
On the 10+ it has a much more raised cam guard and no tempered glass screen protector. Not sure on the new model if that will be an issue or not. Using the screen protector is probably optional though.
