Case Mate selling their Tough cases for $9.99

Guys,
I'm a HUGE fan of Case Mate and their Tough Cases. Myself use one, recommended atleast 8 friends I know who are either using a Desire HD, Nexus One or an iPhone 4 and they all have Case Mate's toughcase
They retail at $29.99, but looks like there is a sale going on - All Tough Cases selling for $9.99 (free standard shipping in the US)
You might want to check it out here
I recommend the Blue and Black or the Green and Black

Great case. I had one that I sold with my original N1. Looks like they're temporarily out of stock now though

just buy the 2 pieces separate. same price.

Thanks for the advice. Just picked them up separately.

Thanks for the heads up! Any problem with lint on the silicon?
BTW all of the colours are out of stock

However, they sent the pieces together in 1 box labeled Tough Case, already combined, as if I bought them as a single product.

These remain out of stock. Some of the skins can be bought separately, but the shells aren't back yet.

Yeah, still out of stock.
I was considering giving it a try.

Just spoke with a Case-Mate representative over the phone and was told that the Nexus One Tough Case is now discontinued and they do not have any more in stock. All they have left are the soft silicone inner skins that pair with the outer shell.
Kind of sad that a great phone that really isn't that old at all is already pretty tough to find good accessories for.

I think about using a case like that for my N1. at the moment i am using the original nexus one case. but of course, it is not very safe compared to this case.

I broke down and bought one of these cases on Amazon because I was unable to find one elsewhere. No one carries them and as my last post stated, they're discontinued by the manufacturer. Received the case yesterday and all I can say is that if you're on the fence about getting one, DO IT. The case fits PERFECTLY and feels very high quality. It doesn't gather an excessive amount of lint, and even comes with a nice microfiber cloth and clear screen protector. I already dropped the phone once today and the case did an absolutely beautiful job protecting the phone. Really too bad these aren't being made anymore.

My only complaint about this case is the soft silicon skin under the trackball gets loose quickly. It still stays on, but doesn't look or feel as good.

Well just placed my order with amazon, problem is they wont ship to NZ so have a mate over in the US that comes back in a week or so, getting it sent to him and then he will bring it back

Well damn, looks like I got one just in time at the beginning of January! And it's a really great case. I sure feel like my Nexus One is safe in there.

Poetic Hardback Protective Case TF700T

Overall I think this case is very solid. It's snug and grips the tablet great. Does not have the cheap feel or smell at all. I would recommend this case to anyone looking fir something strong.

Looks identical to the rooCase I use. If it's a matter of "same product, same factory, different label" then you'll love this case. Mine was initially very snug, especially the top closure, but has since broken in to be a perfect fit. Thanks for the review and photos.

Yeah it does look similar. The only difference in mine is the elastic at the top of the door to use when holding it in hand to keep it folded back. It still has the hand grip also like the Moko. Overall it feels premium though

Thank you for sharing this!
Question, you ordered via Amazon, yes? Can you tell me when you placed your order?
I ask, because I ordered the same case, straight from yourpoetic.com, several weeks ago. They e-mailed me back and told me the product would not be available until August 6th. So I'm rather irate to see that orders via Amazon/Exact-Deal are being fulfilled, whereas a DIRECT order has been ignored.

I ordered from Amazon on 7/30/12. I am an Amazon Prime member and I got it overnight for 3.99 shipping (free 2day). That would be kind of screwed up if they did that. I wonder if it's actually Poetic selling it on Amazon or a vendor.

I purchased mine from their web site. Now the site is down, they have my money and I have gotten no response from them.

I am assuming this does not rotate?

Now the hard part is getting a vendor who is willing to ship the item to me in Aus...
Thanks for the review.

Just ordered this case on Amazon, should have it in my hands on Saturday. Will update on my impressions as soon as I get it.
EDIT:
I finally got my case and my Infinity and the case is perfect.
FIT: Perfect. Not a space loose or anything too tight, it fits how you'd thing it should and the tablet feels secure on it.
BUILD: Excellent. The external material which is sort of a pebble leather feels strong and looks high-end. The micro-fiber interior feels soft and serves as good grip. It won't slip. The handstrap comes handy for portrait mode and you really miss one for landscape mode. The only thing with the handstrap is that you'd thing is going to loosen in the future and lose some of it's tighness.
On the backside of the cover you see the line that's created when you use the cover as a stand. While looking at the pictures I thought this looked cheap which it doesn't in person.
LOOKS: It looks professional, not a thing to envy other cases. If you're afraid how it's going to look in business environments, don't be, it looks very professional.
PORTS: All ports have their openings and none of them are blocked, including the charger and the speakers.
STANDS: Has two different stand slot for different viewing agles, it works perfect, not much to say there. In order to use it you have to remove the two lower hooks, which is quite easy, and securing the tablet back on them is also quite simple. As for now it doesn't feel like those two hooks will loosen easily which I was afraid of.
BULKINESS: It's not bulky, actually quite slim. It has some padding to protect the tablet, not too much to make it feel too bulky or two little so it feels unprotected.
It also has some sort of hook that clips both sides of the cover when is closed which comes handy as well as a wrap for securing both sides when you close or fold it so it's never going to open by itself.
Hope this helps.

I e-mailed [email protected], and someone named Alex replied. I included a copy & paste of my e-mail receipt, and a half hour later, he shipped my case out.
Worth a try?

Interesting, I've emailed them a few times about shipping to Aus, and it seems to have fallen on deaf ears each time.

I emailed yesterday and Alex replied and told me that the case was a pre-order item and available on 6th August. I then noticed Amazon UK had it in stock so I asked Alex to cancel my order.

I had originally ordered from Poetic as well, but cancelled and got one overnight from Amazon Prime. I had one for my TF101, and this one is even better. Love the addition of the hand strap and the the way it stays propped up a bit for typing when folding the lid back is pretty good. I would say that works better than the third groove that previous models had for typing because it would always slip out. I couldnt figure out what the thin elastic strap was for at first, but I know assume it is for holding the lid in place when folded back and using the hand strap (or just holding it). I found that I can wrap that elastic band around the corners of the device and the latch cover in the middle. That works well, I just hope the cover doesn't soften up too much from securing it tight like that and have it lose the angle of typing by folding it back without the band.
I also out a Skinomi carbon fiber backing on the TF700 and it still seems to fit in the case just fine. I now have the case fir when I am on the go, and scratch protection when I have it out of the case at home. I have been carefully putting it in and out if the case so the carbon fiber backing doesnt peel on the corners. I am hoping that I am just being overly cautious for now. If it ends up peeling, I'll probably just snip the tiny pieces of the backing that wrap the corner.
So far the combination of the Skinomi ans the Poetic folio are awesome.

Nice.
Btw, can you hook us up with some cheap airline tickets?

I'm getting the Skinomi Brushed Steel and the Poetic case, so looking forward to both.

Just a head's up, I did have to cut the tiny pieces off that wrap around the corners on the bottom. They are pretty skinny and going in and out of the case ended up peeling those off. It leaves the bottom two corners exposed, but I'm not really worried about that, I am more concerned about the scratches across the back when laying it down unprotected. I also DO have to press it in rather hard to get it to stay in the bottom corners of the case (not sure if that is because of the case or the skin), but I suspect it will break in quickly.

Did you heat them with a hair drier when fitting?

I did, which made everything stick very well (including those corner pieces), but the pressure/rubbing of the case's corner brackets pretty quickly messed them up. Those corner brackets are pretty tight (at least for me). I stuck them back on with heat again a few times, but eventually realized I was better without them. I left the top corners on, it was the bottom corners.

I got mine today and it fits really well. Just curious, what is the grey elasticy bit for?

I did the same when I couldn't pay with a credit card on their website (some issues with cardholder address when using a foreign address or something). Sent them an email and I got an invoice via Paypal instead, and received the case earlier than expected. I was told that it wouldn't be in stock until August 6th, but I guess they got some stock before that at least. I received it on August 3rd and it would've taken a couple of days of shipping getting it to Norway as well.
I've got a couple of photos of the case (linked them in the general case thread as well) up here:

Moko Case [Updated]

I purchased the Moko case on Amazon that's 5.99 (free shipping for $25+ orders or amazon prime). My first impression was that it was rather cheaply made. Then again, you're paying 6 bucks for a case. I don't expect it to last long either- the corners are starting to show signs of wear and tear after only a weekend in my messenger bag (see pic below).
I bought the white one as you can see, but in reality, it comes as a very dull white color, almost grayish. The feel of the case isn't very sturdy. Since it is "white" it is prone to getting dirty pretty quickly, as it already has picked up some other colors from sitting inside my messenger bag.
I really like that there's a band for you to slip your hand in while reading. This is especially useful if you're on the train and you have your hand slipped through the strap (no one can take it from you easily and it won't fall out of your hands should you fall asleep). I also like that there's a second strap in the back, to hold the cover to the back so you don't have the cover flapping around.
The insides is a felt like material, with 2 memory card slots (I don't understand why they're there because the Note 8.0 doesn't read SD cards). It also has a pen loop as well. As someone mentioned in another thread, it appears that the bulk of Amazon's covers have an added loop on it. The loop is on the back so it's not intrusive. I do intend on getting the S-Pen w/ the eraser on top, so perhaps that pen loop would come in handy. The case like every other, also doubles as a stand for reading or for typing.
What really bothers me about this case is the insides where the top and the bottom doesn 't taper to the tablet and kind of bulges out a bit- I'm referring to the picture below w/ the Samsung logo- you can see that the case sticks out and not flat against the tablet. It's not a functional flaw but more of a cosmetic one.
All in all, it's only an average case- I'd give it a 6/10, any questions or if anyone needs more pictures, let me know. :laugh:
Also I forgot to mention- this case does support the sleep/wake functionality.
I also bought a KDL Case and it's currently shipping. Once I receive the KDL case, I'll write another review. The KDL case can be found here:

UPDATE
Just an update on this case. I've been using it since I posted this review and now from the pic, you can see that one of the "hinges" (I guess you can say) already broke. Like I said in my review, this should only be a temporary solution for a nicer case you have on the way- PLEASE SEE POST #12 FOR PIC

I also bought a different Moko case and I second on the built quality. it seems very cheaply made and the flaps are not stitched properly.

I look forward to your KDL case review, I've been looking for a bookcover alternative. Please let us know how long the delivery took also.
I ordered this for $5 but it is not shipping until May 10.

Definitely will keep everyone posted on delivery etc. The poetic case looks interesting, I've had a few of them and they all seem well made

ordered the black one for $6 on amazon, delivered in two days. Its OK, leaves the edges out, but really like the fact it turns the screen on and off. its great for 6$ not so good for 50$...

Yeah, MOKO always have very low price cases. If you want a case just do the basic job, you might go for. If you want a good case, I would rather to stay away from it.

The KDL case looks nice from the pics. I wonder about what the texture feels like, and also about the strength of the stitching where the cover attaches to the back. It looks from the pictures like the cover might get stressed a bit at that point when you fold the cover tightly around the back (and/or when creating the triangle fold for the tablet stand functionality), but it is hard to tell for sure from just images. I also like that the same triangle fold is used for both tablet angles as that seems like it might be more secure/sturdy than the Samsung Book Cover seems to be (especially for the mostly upright angle, according to some reports).

The Poetic Slimline looks nice too. Perhaps you (or someone) can do a review at some point?
It is nice to see that there might be some decent options to the official Samsung Book Cover as $50 feels a bit exorbitant.

I received the KLD case yesterday. Expect a review! But as a preview...it's very disappointing

Well that sucks.... but thanks for the update! I look forward to the review nonetheless!

I got this case as a temporary solution to protect my device (since Samsung products are fragile) and honestly I can't complain! $5.99 is a great price and the case does everything it should. I knew getting a white one would get dirty far more frequently so I went with black instead. I haven't seen any noticeable signs of wear yet but the flaps which hold the device in place are a little raised.
I'll probably wait for a more premium case to be released before I purchase another, but for now this one works great. I only wish it had some way to stand it up in portrait.

The card slots are too small for an SD card. They will hold the micro-SD card which the Note 8 does read.
The slots might hold sim cards for the non-US Note (I'm in US so my Note doesn't take a sim card).

Ive had the moko folio case for a couple weeks now. Will give my thoughts on it (hopefully later today) with pix.

MOKO Case
I bought a different MOKO case only paid $12 for three different cases. Super Cheap, I wouldn't expect the quality to be top notch on any case that costs, as cheap as, these cases. Any way for the price though, I can buy several if the craftsmanship goes bad. Anyway here are the pics of the MOKO case I like the best.

Short Review: Diztronic Full Matte TPU Case

I used a Diztronic TPU on my Galaxy Note 3 so I was very happy to see a preorder on Diztronic's website for a full matte version for the Note 4. I preordered on Nov.16 and received the case on Saturday.
My impressions of this case are very positive. The case is slim and fits the phone nicely. Mine shows no bulging or loose edges. The matte TPU does provide some screen standoff on the front side. I measured this at 0.75mm. Mic, headphone, USB and pen holes align nicely and the buttons retain a nice tactile feel with this case. I use a Verizon Note 4 and can confirm that the case I received DOES have a slotted left side mic opening to support the Verizon Note 4. The button covers are molded into the TPU but have pronounced edges, so they are easy to find without having to look at the phone.
I use the YooTech wireless charging receiver insert and the Diztronic TPU fits nicely with this receiver in place. I do not believe it would fit with the factory wireless charging back as the case fits perfectly to the stock phone. The case does have a small raised ridge around the camera lens and small ridges around the speaker. This gives some protection for the camera lens and keeps the case from "sealing" against the table and muting your notification tones. The area around the flash is open and I am able to very reliably get heart rate readings for S Health, something that isn't easily found with many thicker cases.
The TPU material is quite thin. Diztronic's website says 1.6mm and my measurements seem in line with that number. The case does not add much bulk and for sure feels slimmer in the hand all-around when compared to the Spigen Slim Armor I had been using since I got the phone. I'm sure it won't provide the kind of protection that the Slim Armor does, as the cushioning material is thinner, but it sure does feel nice in the hand while offering some level of protection over a bare phone.
One of the things I really like about this case is the matte finished TPU. It feels smooth and slick in hand and does not show much in the way of fingerprints. The matte finish slides easily in/out of your pocket. Diztronic made a good move by relocating their branding to the side of the case, which adds a little bit of grip and keeps the look super clean overall.
Overall, I'm really impressed with the Diztronic Full Matte TPU case for Note 4. It provides some protection for the phone and is a little more grippy in-hand than the bare phone. I like that the screen stands off a bit and the camera lens is somewhat protected. I also appreciate that the full matte finish doesn't collect pocket lint or gunk and doesn't show much in the way of fingerprints. And it looks classy!
I really like the Note 4 as a caseless device. It feels very slim for its size and feels great. Unfortunately, I know I am going to inevitably drop it at some point and want some protection without making the phone too bulky, which is really easy to do. The Diztronic Full Matte TPU feels like it hits that sweet spot for me. Time will tell, but for now I give it two solid thumbs up.
:good: :good:
I purchased this case direct from Diztronic: LINK I expect they will probably be available via Amazon shortly. They are currently showing as available on Diztronic's website in both matte black and matte grey.
Updated to include Verizon mic confirmation and pics attached.

Does it have an elongated mic opening for Verizon users? This is the case I've been waiting for...always a favorite.

Absolutely loved mine for my previous phone. Best TPU cases imo. Looking forward to seeing your pics.
I'll probably pick one up even though I might opt for a more protective case this time around.

Thanks for the update! I just ordered one. I've had a Diztronic case for my last 3 phones and have been happy with all of them. I'm sure this one will be no different.

thanks for the review! i've always been iffy with diztronic, yet i seem to get one per each phone i have just to have one lol..
out of all the TPU's i use, they're always the most bulky which i dislike, because i like them thin..but there's NO good note 4 tpu's out there whatsoever. i'm currently using a clear S line TPU, which is good and all, but the mic holes don't line up perfect, and it doesn't fit as well as it could..plus it's clear, and we all know clear starts looking like crap after a few weeks. i've gotten like 4 other TPU's and shell cases and I hate all of them.
diztronic is nice because they do a lip around the camera, which NO tpu's are doing right now, which means your camera is pretty much flush against the surface which i hate...and they also have two little bumps by the speaker to elevate the speaker off the table so it's not muffled! FINALLY, a TPU maker with some sense knocked into em!
either way, i ordered the gunmetal gray because every diztronic i ever got was always black, so i'm looking for a nice change. ordered today, they say those ship out tomorrow the 26th, so maybe I'll get it by saturday or monday with thanksgiving coming up and all. this will be like my 6th or 7th case already for the Note and I've only been using 1 lol

Does it fit with the OEM Qi back?

I don't find the Diztronic bulky at all. The Diztronic for the Note3 was very rounded feeling, where the Note 4 Diztronic is more squared off and edgy, just like the Note 4 itself. I think you'll like it and the holes line up nicely as pictured above.

As noted in my review, I do not believe it would fit with the OEM back. I say this because it fits relatively snug as-is with the stock back or stock back + thin Qi receiver. But I don't have an OEM Qi back to try it with.

My black one is scheduled to deliver on Saturday. I will post my thoughts at that time. Not like anyone cares.

Haha, what's up brother? I really liked my diztronic on my laggy as hell S4.
So I'm hoping to like this one as well. Good luck bro!

Diztronic makes the best TPU cases as far as I'm concerned. I was disappointed when they had to delay the release due to the Verizon mic hole revelation, and ended up going with a UAG case, but anybody looking for a great case for under 10 bucks, this is what you want. I might even pick one up for myself, just in case.

Diztronic is awesome. I had their case on my Note 3, LG G3, and now I'm waiting for the Note 4 case that supports the OEM wireless charging back. They made one for the S5, I really hope they make one for the Note 4!

I ordered mine today. It is only 12 Euro, together with shipping to Ireland, directly from manufacturer's page.
Already have Spigen Capsule and it is great, but flat buttons and flat speaker hole are not perfect for me. Diztronic seems to meet all my requirements. Hope it will appear to be true

I forgot to post yesterday, but I got my black Diztronic yesterday, a day earlier than estimated. It is the best case I've tried so far, although I haven't tried a lot yet.
The fit is perfect, not too loose or too tight. It adds almost no bulk which I really like. The matte black is awesome and feels great in the hand. Not super grippy, but it will do the job. All of the cutouts are perfect. The camera has enough raise that the lens won't touch a flat surface and the charger fits in without the case interfering. The buttons are also very easy to press, no problems there. In fact, the buttons are easier to press with this case on than without it.
The only thing I noticed is that in a couple areas, the frame moves pretty easily if you pull on it. Especially near the charging port. It doesn't sag at all which is great, but I just wonder if it will become an issue over time. Possibly not but that's the only small thing I've noticed so far.
Other than that, this case is fantastic and blows away any Spigen that makes your phone uneccesarily bulky and for less money.
I do also have an official Samsung protective case coming that is supposed to ship next week. I've heard that's also an amazing case, so I will compare once I get that.
I didn't take any pics of my Diztronic since so many great pics have already been posted. But let me know if you would like to see any.

I have the black DualPro case on the way from Cases.com. Incipio was out of stock.
I agree it is steep but this phone is so slick and the case looks solid.

I have the Tudia Tamm coming from Amazon $12.90 they have it in 3 different colors. It’s available on eBay also.

Please post pics and review When you get it.

I have the tudia case from Amazon and I'm looking for a better case. It is very thing and really lose on the sides. I'm want the incepio case but they don't have it in Amazon right now. Also the tudia case peels up my wet install screen protector, but I'm thinking any case will sure to the super slim bezels.

I just bought the dualpro from case.com...they have 10 percent off with code CASES

Mine says it will be here Friday, the wait is killing me. I have been handling this thing with kid gloves, leaving it in my pocket more than usual.
I plan on posting pics and providing my opinion of it. Unfortunately I do not use a screen protector, so I won't be able to speak on compatibility with one. I am going to put the round flat magnet from my vent phone holder (the round one with rubber feet) in between the two layers. I have had success with other cases and if it can confidently hold my Moto X Pure in place the Essential should not be an issue.
It seems like the case (DualPro) gets mostly favorable reviews in Amazon, I noticed that the Pixel price is around $10, where the Pixel 2 is still $29 (on Amazon). I am assuming that over time this case will get cheaper.
I have a similar case on my iPhone 6s made by iLuvvitt and it is rock solid and cost me less than $4 on sale.
Anyone else eyeing the Tudia Glost case that is being released on December 8th? I may pick up the Ocean Green one. It will be $19.90 on Amazon, $16.91 with 15% off coupon code on the page.

Im thinking that case companies are waiting to see if the phone is successful or not. With only 5k phones reported sold right off the start, Im sure case companies do not want to put time and money into an unsuccessful product. Now that you can get the phone from sprint for about 150 bucks im sure the sales and need for cases has gone way up. It seems that all the cases are back ordered.

My case is still not here, USPS says it was delayed. Hopefully it will be here today or Monday. Looks like everyone is out of stock, so at least I have one coming. Hindsight I should have ordered a backup (like the TAMM) on Amazon as soon as I ordered the phone. Live and learn.

Ordered mine from Incipio yesterday.. Got 50 % off and free shipping..

Grrr...out of stock on Incipio's site now

I was thinking of getting one and removing the back to have a bumper only (not sure why nobody has made a bumper case yet) currently have their regular one coming in a few days but I hate the look.
Like you I've been going naked for almost a week and handling it like a small child lol

Finally got my case! Feels premium for sure, but so does my $4 iLuvvitt dual layer case on my iPhone 6s.
Seriously though, it is a nice case. I feel like the inside TPU layer could be carried separately if desired. No issues using the round magnet that came with my vent phone mount between the layers. The rubbery finish on the outside layer shows oils from your hands when you handle it, but every case I have had like this is the same and can be wiped off easily with a microfiber towel.
It definitely adds bulk to the phone, but if you buy a dual layer case you should expect that. Rubber covering the buttons require a little bit of effort to press, cutouts are precise, and the OEM charger plugs in no problem. Having a raised case on the phone helps locate the fingerprint sensor easily.
I recommend it and would buy it again. I can't figure out how to post pics, Tapatalk won't allow me to attach anything.

Did you give the app permission?
