I wish the photos on your website were a little more detailed.
It appears that, depending on the orientation of the TF700T in your case, you are missing a hole for the light sensor. Correct and clarify for me, if you will.

Seems a bit expensive to me. Especially when you consider that it looks identical to the "MoKo(TM) Slim Cover Case for Asus eee Transformer Pad Infinity TF700 / TF700T, Black" that sells on Amazon for $19.99. And Amazon sells the vibe stylus for $9. I think I'll wait for more options myself.

We've enlarged that hole, and definitely are not missing the hole for the light sensor. It would be working perfectly.

Just ordered one too. I like the fact that you can apparently charge while the case is closed. I originally wanted to buy the leather roocase, have one for my TF300 and its very nice, but those are out of stock until Aug 17. Plus the roocase has to be open to charge.

Got mine as well. Its a very nice case. Similar to the Roocase, but it allows you to charge while the case is closed.
There is one key difference that I don't really like. When the cover is folded backward to form a stand, the soft interior lining of the case is what directly contacts the table top. If you're like me, you use your tablet on the go. I can see myself in a hurry, opening up the tablet in McDonalds and putting it down on the table. Dirt grease and whatever other stuff is on the table is going to get wiped up by the interior of your nice leather case. Then when you close the case all that crap is going to go right on the tablet. I can see myself having to place a magazine or paper towel under the case every time I open it as a stand.
The Roocase on the other hand (the one in the picture is from my TF300) is designed so that the EXTERIOR of the case contacts the table when it is folded to make a stand. Much better design. The exterior of the case is shiny leather and is easily wiped clean.
Just click on the photo at the top of the post and you can see what I mean. Roocase is on the left - see the shiny leather exterior folded over to rest on the table. Caseen case is on the right - see the soft velvet interior folded over to contact the table - not the best design choice in my opinion.
Update: After using the case for a couple of days its a really tough call. I don't like the stand as I cited above, and prefer the solution employed by Roocase, but I love the charging flap that allows you to charge with the cover closed.
I always hate having to leave my tablet open and unprotected while its charging. For that alone I might prefer this case. I've pretty much abandoned using the built in stand anyway and have been putting the tablet, in the Caseen case, onto an Arkon stand so I can adjust the viewing angle. The built in stand also doesn't allow adujstable viewing angles like the roocase, and its not as stable.
Otherwise, aside from the stand, this is a very well designed case. Might check to see if there is one for the TF300 and might buy it just for the charge flap advantage.

Received my case today. Overall I like the look and feel of the case. I wish it had a few more viewing options than just the one. The screen cover was an easy install but in my opinion cuts down on the sharpness of the screen. I am satisfied with the purchase but will probably search for a better screen protector or go without one.

Does anyone have an opinion on the best case for the Touchpad? I was considering the i-Blazon leather case but wanted to see if anyone cared to weigh in. I tried to post a link to it but apparently I can't until I've posted 8 times. No worries, its the only brown i-Blazon case on google shopping.
Please avoid crap about how 'that case costs almost half of Touchpad'. We live in a world where good products generally cost real amounts of money. Getting the Touchpad for $100 was a STEAL. All of us know that. So... In keeping with the fact that most of us paid nowhere near what the Touchpad is worth... I just want a good case!
If you have thoughts on el cheapo cases, then awesome! I have two Touchpads, one external keyboard, and I'm throughly enjoying WebOS while waiting for Android.
Thank you in advance!
Imho Custom Fit Case is the best one but dam i cant find a way to buy it from Greece :S
edit: the iBlazon case for 20$ is pretty good deal, though are you sure it fits the HP Touchpad?
The link you references is for an ipad case, not the hp touchpad. There is one for the hp touchpad. On Amazon the title is "i-BLASON Executive Portfolio Brown Leather Case Cover Stand with Landscape / Portrait View for HP TouchPad 9.7-inch Tablet Computer". I can't post links yet...
To me, that seems like the absolute best case, but I haven't met another Touchpad user to compare cases with!
Ohh alright i didnt know they made one for Touchpad (though i still believe they just took the Ipad case and renamed it as touchpad case).
And the one you were referring to looks a lot like this one:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HP-Touchpad...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item20bc367f2a
and its like 1/3 cheaper
The case you linked to is not real leather. The design is similar but the quality is not. Big difference between pleather (PU Leather in that ebay description) and real leather.
The i-blazon case looks to be totally covering up the bezel, except for the home button. That means you won't be able to use the swipe function to minimize windows or close the cards. A deal breaker for me. I'm using the official hp case and love it. I gotta find some kind of elastic strap to keep the "screen flap" from flapping around though.
You could have a look at what Oberon Design have to offer - their iPad 1 covers should fit fine because they use corner straps. I have one of their covers for my Kindle and have modified one of their small journals to accommodate my Sony 650. They are also extremely helpful so if you have any questions, send them an email.
The quality of the leather is simply amazing and it's really well made.
Now for a few words of caution
-Their stuff isn't cheap, particularly when ordering from outside the US with p&p , vat on import etc... (I get stuff delivered to a friend in the US who brings it over when he comes to London for a visit)
-It's made to order so allow up to a week between ordering and despatch
-The covers aren't light - remember, they're nice thick real leather
-The designs aren't going to be to everyone's taste, their stuff is *different* and *original* - the hint is in the name of the company, people who like to just stick with the herd are advised not to look!

edit: there's more than 1 colour for each design, click on the pictures to see what's available

Wow nice covers but i cant pay more for a cover than i paid for the device. That said again i have to comment the covers are preety nice.
I did say it wasn't cheap currently debating whether I should get one - they are so incredibly nice in real life, believe me. Every time I have the bad idea of looking at their site I want to buy something. On the plus side, there's fewer designs for the iPad covers than there are for the Kindle so it make choosing a little bit easier. It's also worth remembering that the covers will far outlive the devices so think about ways of modifying them for other uses later! I'm off on hols in a few days so if I have some left-over money when I get back I'll probably order one *sighs* ... I already have the Celtic hounds in black which is jaw-dropping, and the Medici in purple for my other toys. The only strap that looks like it will go over buttons on the TP is the top right one and this isn't a problem because it's the bungee. I'll probably send them an email and ask for the exact location of the straps as the TP is 2.8mm shorter than the iPad, width and thickness are so similar (0.3mm difference) that fit shouldn't be a problem
edit: I have emailed Oberon to ask about the fit, and also given them the relevant measurements. I'm hoping that they can try it if they have a Touchpad at hand (or if they can borrow one) and will update when I get a reply
tbqh, i have the official hp case that was being sold with the device, and i couldn't be happier it functions to protect the unit, and is a 2-stage stand, really an awesome buy in my opinion
I have the official case and whilst it's functional, I just find it incredibly bland . I'm also a bit annoyed with HP for not incorporating something in the design to keep it closed, surely they should have thought about that. I'm using a piece of elastic that I slip over the the case to keep the front flap shut when it's in a bag, not ideal but does the job.
http://store.griffintechnology.com/ipad/elan-folio
That's the case I went with. It's the Elan-folio from Griffin. Works great and holds everything just fine. It was meant for an ipad, but the touchpad fits just as good.
Picked this up from Wal-Mart for $30. It is designed for the iPad 2 but works damn good for the Touchpad. Available in 3 colors. The home button is clearly visible and functional, as is the volume and power.

I've grown so accustomed to (or fond of) the swipe to minimize/close function on the touch pad that I found myself trying to swipe an app closed on my android phone today. Must have swiped 6 times before I realized what I was doing.
Hi folks, I am noob and submit to all its greatness. I was blessed enough to pick up one of these touchpads from BB, and found a case at Compusa you might want to know about
www adesso com - look under the Ipad keyboard section
- I am too newb so I cannot post a link.
It was on sale at Compusa for $50 .
First thing is obvious, this was not made for the touchpad, its designed for an Ipad, and the case has a snug fit around the touchpad but has a bluetooth keyboard that I was able to pair with. The touch pad will fit in slide in pouch, but will not fully clasp. More on that in a second
The Bluetooth Keyboard. - In order to pair with this thing, you must
- turn on bluetooth on Keyb and touchpad
- search for keyboards in bluetooth prefs
- put in a key on the touchpad screen
I used `12345678"
- then type the same on the keyboard (NOTE* You will not see any prompts on the screen, just type "12345678" and press enter. ) This was how I got it to sync and have been able to repeat it . SYNC
The Keyboard is like one of those roll up silicone keyboards, and it has a magnetic backing that attaches to the case and keeps it in place pretty nicely. Under the Keyboard makes a nice little place to keep my official "HP ' cleaning rag.
Back to the case, so this thing has grown on me especially since the bluetooth keyboard works well. I am going to modify mine a little, by sewing in small pieces of elastic in certain places so that it has a little more room to expand. Overall, I think its worth testing out if theirs a retailer that sells it near by. I like it so far.

I agree with you in the official hp case. It fits really nicely and the two angles work perfectly. It is not leather but a kind of high density rubber with felt on any side that faces the touchpad.
The only complaint I have with the case is that it seems to get spots on the exterior. My daughter was wet and walked by me; a drop of water landed on the case and now there is a spot that will not come off.
I just got this in the mail today. Works well. I wanted a case that completely closed around the tp with a zipper.
http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Stand-Laugh-Vangoddy-Wrist/dp/B0043FODA6
So I was adventurous today, and decided to buy the original iPad case made by Apple to see if it works with the Touchpad. I know a lot of people have been wondering the same thing, and here's your answer: It does. The camera, bezel & home button are not blocked, and neither are all the other buttons.
*iPad 1 case, NOT iPad 2*
The case retails for $40 at Best Buy if you want to pick it up. Here's some pictures of it in action:
The case if you didn't know what it looks like:

Closed with the TP in it:
Open with the TP in it:
Top view: (The headphone jack lines up perfectly, the power button is a little off but it still works fine)
Side view with the volume rocker:
Bottom Micro-USB slot:
Speakers: (They are covered up by the flap that holds the TP in, but simply sliding it out allows you to hear the full audio quality, even though it isn't that bad with it on)
It works great guys, and I would definitely recommend getting it.

Lol I didn't know what else to say
It looks 'loose'? You can see the rounded outter edges of the TP in the rubber border? is that how the ipad fits too!?
I bought the Griffen rubber back and it fit the same way, very loose, and if you grabbed one of the sides the rubber would almost slide off. Not a good fit (if you ask me). I'm curious if this is just specific to the cases that have the tigher fit rubber back cover, or for all cases. I'm going to pickup the Targus Truss case for the ipad and see for myself.

I see what you are saying. It's actually not loose. Compared to the iPad, its corners have a larger curve, so it gives it that look but it fits just fine.

I tried using the Touchpad with the same (Apple stock) iPad case a few days ago. It does actually fit pretty securely - the gaps in the corners are a bit concerning as far as possibly letting debris into the case and scratching up the sides or back, but it did not feel like the Touchpad would fall out. For me at least, the "propped-up" mode was not very stable, at least compared to how it feels with an iPad 1 in the same case. For now, I am using the Verizon Tecnocell case and do prefer that to this one. Many Target stores have this case on clearance for $9.99 btw.
I looked at the Targus Truss, and it seems to be a quality case, though it adds a great deal of bulk to the Touchpad and is very heavy for its purpose (the case by itself is just under 1 pound). Also, the speakers are covered by the tray (for lack of a better word) that secures the Touchpad/iPad in place. The Touchpad-specific model had two speaker cutouts in that tray.
thanks for the info on the targus truss/ipad case, I did look at it at staples over the weekend, but didn't pick it up because it wad the black/teal blue one....the speakers being covered is definitely a deal breaker, guess I'll just wait for another better solution, or unit the price comes down.

iPad cases are much, much easier to find than Touchpad cases. The Apple logo on the outside cracks my ass up. I might pick one up just for that. Apple logo on the outside, Touchpad on the inside. Makes me lol.

Not everyone can get their hands on an official touchpad case, due to country/region. for example, if i have to order one, i will have to pay around 70$
I don't have to order one and they're still $70. That's how much Best Buy was selling them for a week ago. I tried to explain how it's ridiculous to pay $70 for a case that goes on a $99 device. The sales guy stared at me blankly like I was trying to explain unified field theory or something. It did not register at all.

Fair enough, didnt realise they were that rare.
Seem to be quite a few on ebay though.
Hopefully lots will turn up for sale soon as they are very good (apart from the lack of anything to keep them closed. I'm seriously thinking of adding some black elastic to mine.).
Sorry for not getting the video review done yet, I started, then my camera died and I can't find the charger. :/
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbHGqujieaE here is review I made of my Acase for touchpad I found on amazon.com
I just received a casecrown folio from Senyx on Amazon and it was made for the 1st gen iPad. The dimensions were so close I thought it would be "good enough."
I was wrong.
Apparently the TP is just a little thicker than the iPad so the rubber/silicone grommet-thingy that the tablet squeezes into is really straining to reach up the sides and it looks pretty crappy.
The corners were not bad and it was a soft material so you could work all the hardware buttons. You could close the folio and the folding cover/stand thing worked but you could clearly tell it just wasn't right.
Damn shame too because it looked great (faux reptile) and was dirt cheap.
I gave it to an employee who has the older iPad. No biggie, it was $5 total.
Now I am anxiously awaiting the case from xjarl from the other case review thread.
HP TouchPad OEM Case on Amazon is $25 shipped:

I was perusing the Rearth Case thread and from there came across the i-Blason TPU case. Like the Rearth, it's $10USD well in US, not sure if it's available internationally yet.
I have it on and sporting it right now. I do like it. It gives the phone better grip IMO. The only negative is that it's not clear. I mean you can still see the nexus name but not the sparklies lol. I have also posted a pic of a holster that I had back when the HTC Sensation first came out and I needed some sort of holster before Seidio came out with one. Don't mind the cords lol...

If someone could comment on a good glossy tpu case (maybe this one is), I find those have much better grip than matte.

I don't have a N4 but waiting for one eventually and wanted to see what cases there are. Currently I have a Sensation with an i-Blason case and love it as well. Anyone want to try it out? I personally want a clear/frost one. Other colors are black and pink.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion. For my Sensation, I have both the cheap ebay ones that can be bought for around 2-4 dollars and I currently have the i-Blason. Yes they are similar, but the main difference for me when I got these for my Sensation was that the openings and buttons did not align 100%. With the i-Blason, on the Sensation anyway did. So that is why I was inquiring if anyone has tried these out yet.
But you may be right, you never know with new products, but I want to see the proof in the pudding.
I don't know about their quality yet, but I pre-ordered with them because they claimed to be shipping on the 13th. So I figured I'd pick it up just because it was the first case I saw available.
Well turns out it didn't ship until the 21st and that was the last day of their expected timeframe that it would be delivered. They did not expedite the shipping and would not get back to me about requesting a refund on the shipping.
At this point, even if it's a nice case I'm sending it back. I don't like doing business with companies that fail to communicate (and yes, at least with Google I had someone to call regardless of them knowing something, they still answered. They also honored Free shipping for failing to meet shipping timeframe).
Other than that, I ordered the black one and I'll update with the quality of it and pics with it on the device.

I also ordered this case in Frost Clear.
I was a little disheartened to look at the product photos today and see the true representation of the case on the phone.
When I ordered the case on the 19th, the images they showed on Amazon were obviously Photoshopped, but I had hoped they were a decent representation of the case, just not having an actual model phone to place them on for product photos.
The Frost Clear product on the 19th looked like this in their image : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
Now, looking at the new image they have, the thing is near white. : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
I should have mine in an hour or two, and can take photos and post if anyone is interested. I'll wait to get it in my hands to determine if I'm satisfied. I was looking for something a bit more subdued and dark, yet clear enough to see the rear design of the phone a bit. This new white frosted version is much the opposite of that.

Hmmm, for my sisters s3 she had also ordered 2 cases. One from I-Blason for 15$ and the same on from hong kong for 2.50$ and in the end I think even the Hong Kong was better but your opinion is your own and I will not change it Its just im in high school and I make sure to get the best deals because I cant just go buy the most expensive ones.
Received mine - Photos
Just got mine in the mail. Again, it's definitely not what I was expecting with the original product shots they used on the amazon page.
Here's the gallery : imgur.com/a/QcCKr
I got this as a stop-gap until the bumper or a nicer case was available, so I'm not cringing so much for the time being, but it definitely looks cheap and looks like a toy with this on.
I was hoping for a more tinted plastic with a dark tinted plastic for the back, as the original images would have you believe.
I can say, for the most part, the new photos are very representative of the final product.
Aside from the looks, it feels pretty secure. the case has a bit of give on the left and right sides of the phone, making it feel squishy. The back part that is frosted isn't very grippy, it's more of a paper-like feel, like they just sanded down the clear material. there's no logos to be seen on the case at all, which i'm actually quite happy about. I figured the i-blason logo was going to be on the back, as some of the images had shown. The clear portions aren't super grippy, but there's a bit more than the bare Nexus 4 had. The buttons are harder to press than they are bare.Kinda hard to get used to the pressure needed. It's not a ton, but more than I'm used to.
There's a notch at the top of the front, for the receiver, which was a nice touch, to keep it fully open. The ridge around the front of the phone covers the chrome completely and comes in on the curved glass almost all the way. the height from screen-plane to top of the ridge is probably no more than 1mm, if that. It's the same thickness as a credit card, if that gives anyone a good indicator.
Overall, I'm alright with the purchase. I wasn't expecting a top quality case, just something to make me feel a bit more secure with it until the right case arrives. I didn't like the common s-curve case, so I got this one. sorta wished I had gotten the dark grey s-curve instead, to have the darker look I wanted.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

Just got mine, I ordered the black, but amazon sent me the Frost Clear along with the Black, so I got 2 cases for the price of one lol....I can tell you the black looks nice, much nicer then the clear I think, I had a clear one on my S3 and no matter what clear TPU starts to turn yellow over time. Will post some pics in a few of the black. The case looks alot like Diztronic it has a matte black finish on the back and gloss bezel, it covers the curved edge of the glass, which for me is a nice touch since most screen protectors that arent wet apply won't be covering that part of the phone...one thing is the bottom and top edge, since the bezel is covered up my screen protector i had to cut since it was pushing it up other than that great buy for 10 bucks..also the cutouts are perfectly aligned....no complaints fits securely in the case much like a Diztronic case.
And a few more pics
Well I got my covers and id post pictures but they'd just be redundant. Not much to see

Any way to polish up the back to make it more grippy? Seems silly to have a case be just as slippery as the phone

Really havent tried the clear one but the black one is grippy enough where its not super slippery like the phone itself. the back feels the same as the matte finishes on my diztronic cases.
Just received my frost clear one in the mail. Honestly wasn't expecting too much out of it, so I'm pretty content with the product. Sorry I don't have another camera on me to take pictures of it with it on the phone, but the updated pictures on their Amazon page comes pretty close. It is clear around with the back having that "frost" look, so you can see the Nexus and LG logo pretty clearly. I would've liked it if the whole case all around was that translucent frost, but IMO it's not too bad. I also wish the cut outs were more precise, especially for the rear speaker. It's just this big cut out as if they just guesstimated it... this is one thing that looks better and more precisely done in the Amazon photos than IRL. But overall it's alright. Only using it so I don't have to be concerned with damaging my phone until I get a nicer case when they start coming out.
Hi guys,
Wanted to post a review for another Noreve case, the first review being the one I did for the Nexus 7 case, which can be found here
I'd like to first mention that my case arrived before my phone did (anyone surprised?), however I was able to test this out on a friends N4.
As always, packaging from Noreve is top notch.

}
Upon opening the box, you are greeted with a bright red pouch in which the actual case itself comes in. I don't know who's idea this was, but it was a good one. Definitely the nicest packaging job I've seen for a case, bar none.
After taking the actual case out of the box, you are greeted by the unmistakable smell of high quality leather. Don't be surprised if you find yourself sniffing your case! The finish on this particular case is from the Illumination series, which comes in black (onyx), or maia (gold) or platinum. This is the case in the Onyx finish. The Illumination series has a very smooth, polished leather, making it shiny and easy to clean. Finger prints are not an issue with the case, which is a plus.
Note the hole for the LED indicator on the front. It's perfect, and a very classy touch. I am glad they haven't overlooked that.
And here is a detailed look of the inside of the case.
Here is a close up of the stitching,
Here is a view of the back of the case, and also another close up of the stitching :
Another nice addition Noreve always incorporates into their cases is the speaker grill, to keep dust out of the case.
A view from the left,
And a view from the right,
The case gives you easy access to all the ports you need, and the cutouts for the camera are flawlessly done. It feels great in the hand, doesn't add too much bulk, and would easily protect the phone from most major falls. I can't see fluids doing any damage to the phone with the case on either, unless you submerge it in water, which I'm pretty sure none of us would do
The first case I got from Noreve was the N7 case, and I still absolutely love it. It made me like my device even more, and top of that, it just looks ten times better now. Even after months of use, the smell of leather still faintly greets me each and every time. I wanted to give another Noreve product a try, and this one hits the ball out of the park for me as well. Excellent craftsmanship throughout, and equally excellent customer service, which to me is extremely important. It unfortunately seems to be a rarity these days, but the people at Noreve are extremely friendly and helpful.
The price for this case in standard black is 46 Euros, with free shipping anywhere in the world with DHL. I received this case in 2 business days, which was lightning fast, despite not being located in France. The prices change with their finishing options and belt clip options, as they offer belt clips in plastic as well as metal, or in my case, no belt clip at all.
Some would say that that's a bit expensive for a case, and I disagree. I'm of the mind that if you're going to buy something, buy it once and don't worry about it. You get what you pay for. I remember paying $45 for an Otterbox Defender case, and the plastic casing broke after 7 months, rendering the case completely useless. That Otterbox was nothing but plastic and silicon anyway, and in my opinion did not warranty the price tag. With Noreve, you get a premium, hand crafted leather case, so I think it's well worth it. Personally I've wasted too much money in the past on crummy cases. Never again.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this case, and would rate it a solid 5 out o 5.
Thank you for reading! Here is a direct link to their Nexus 4 product page.
If I were to spend 60€ on a case I would definitely consider this one, looks extrimely classy and well made, but the protection provided is probably good but not great and the flip front is not practical imo. It's really really fancy and good looking, but also expansive, and the fact that the case for the N7 has the same price as the one for the N4 is a bit of a mockery.
I just got mine today. It's the "Sable Vintage" one though, which made it a bit more expensive since it's a 'custom order' or something. I love the look of this case. It's so refined-looking and professional, and looks like it will do a lot to prevent damage to your phone with its metal frame. The vintage style is also a good choice if the case might be suffering from some abuse like mine will; any scratches the case might suffer will only add to the worn look of the case, and will only make it look more vintage, fitting the style's name perfectly.
Nice! Would love to see a few pictures of that finish.
Nice review. Worth every penny IMHO.
(I too would like to see a picture of the vintage version...)
the case looks, nice. but i'd rather see it on the phone. thanks tho
Will update once my phone arrives. Thanks for reading guys :good:

Can't speak for the OP @ynrozturk, but mine is still awesome.
3 points:
1 - most importantly it feels 100% protected. No screen protector so I get the benefit of smoothness during use. But screen is totally protected with case....
2 - case still looks, feels and functions like it did on day one.
3 - it does add thickness to the phone as a whole. That doesn't bother me, as I'll trade that for the protection. However it may some people....

Nice to know! I have a 20-25 working (business days) days wait for mine due to the different finish I want. I got the Ebène style with a belt holster.
The 20th day is 2/28 so I'll send an email to check the status and will post updates when I get it in.

I received a reply today saying they had too many orders and so my custom order will take 7 to 10 working days more.
I can really blame them. Even Google had underestimated how many people would be interested in their product.
Anyway, trying to be patient here.

I'm in Paris, but it is not a delivery problem, so I could be in Australia as well and they would have said the same.
I guess the better option is not to buy a custom one. Moreover they had offered me to send me one of the the standard ones (which they have in stock apparently) or wait for the one I have ordered. I chose to wait.
While waiting I'm using a cheap TPU case, with the XtremeGuard screen protector (which looks awful, but protects it).

Received the official Samsung screen protectors today from Mobile fun. This package comes with two screen protectors which is nice. You can see more info in the YouTube video mobile fun made for this product.
Installation was pretty easy, I installed it in the bathroom with a hot shower running in hopes of limiting the amount of dust the could get trapped under the screen protector. I was pleased with the fit and finish, also impressed with the way the product is shapped to accommodate the edges. The feel is definitely not as smooth as glass but to me it's great none the less. The problem came when I put on my ringke clear soft case, the edges of the case ruled on the edges of the screen protector and makes it peal. Seems like I'm going to have to chose between the case or the screen protector which imo would eventually peal none the less. I really hate that samsung pushed this on people, ever since I cracked my s6 edge screen in my sleep 2 weeks after I got it, I said to my self never again and here I am with another edge. Don't get me wrong I think the edges makes the phone look beautiful but the fact that it's delicate and the lack of proper screen protection makes it hard to enjoy

I'm loving this SP too, though it's not compatible with all the cases available on the market, i had to change my Spigen Rugged Armor to the Thin Fit. Because the rugged armor pushes the edges of the SP out but the Thin Fit works well with it.

Well, I'm using the official LED Cover, so it should work for me.
Still waiting for my screen protector to be shipped.
Where is OEM available? Samsung US isn't even selling this yet.
Where did you guys get these? I see the Mobile Fun ones in the UK, but I am very skeptical that they are OEM, seeing as though the OEM Screen Protector hasn't been released yet.
Even stranger when you factor in the UK receiving OEM Screen protectors before the device even launches there?
I think it's genius how they created those niches in the corners to hold the curvature. Waiting for these to come to the states.
I don't really like it, it's a fingerprint magnet, it's film so it feels weird and unnatural compared to glass but theres no real alternatives so I'm stick with it until a proper tempered glass protector comes out.
Can someone who has the case tell us which edges of the protective film suffered when a case was applied ? why not to trim/ cut the film slightly using a sharp razor in order to prevent any peeling on the edges?

Thanks man, I just ordered. It says "In Stock Tomorrow", but my shipping date shows as Monday 8/29 - any experience with this? I just don't want to wait around for 3 weeks for Screen Protectors.
Anyway, if they mess up my order, I'm holding you personally responsible! just kidding man.
I still have my doubts, but I'd prefer an exact OEM replica over the garbage I've tried so far, any day.
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal case (Champagne Gold), so I shouldn't have any case issues. I guess we shall see!!
Thanks again, and please let me know your interpretation of their item in stock tomorrow/shipping Monday (today) message.
---------- Post added at 12:21 AM ---------- Previous post was at 12:16 AM ----------
Who has actually purchased this from Mobile Fun US (preferably), and how long did it take to fulfill your order, what was your experience? Again, I don't want to wait on any more stuff (feels like I've been tracking packages for the past two weeks straight).
Any insight, shipping location, US warehouse details, timeliness, would all be appreciated.
I truly still cannot understand how some random obscure cell phone accessory distro has OEM Samsung screen protectors for the Note 7, when Samsung themselves (or any other major retailer in the continental United States) haven't started selling it yet (or even advertised it as an item coming soon). I ordered it anyway, but really not sure about this one )also OEM Samsung screen protectors are like $30 bucks minimum, this was what, like $20 after shipping and taxes??? Something seems sketchy.
Thanks in advance to anyone who shares their experience with me.

Thanks man, I just ordered. It says "In Stock Tomorrow", but my shipping date shows as Monday 8/29 - any experience with this? I just don't want to wait around for 3 weeks for Screen Protectors.
Anyway, if they mess up my order, I'm holding you personally responsible! just kidding man.
I still have my doubts, but I'd prefer an exact OEM replica over the garbage I've tried so far, any day.
I have a Spigen Neo Hybrid Crystal case (Champagne Gold), so I shouldn't have any case issues. I guess we shall see!!
Thanks again, and please let me know your interpretation of their item in stock tomorrow/shipping Monday (today) message.

Who has actually purchased this from Mobile Fun US (preferably), and how long did it take to fulfill your order, what was your experience? Again, I don't want to wait on any more stuff (feels like I've been tracking packages for the last two weeks straight).
Any insight, shipping location, US warehouse details, timeliness, would all be appreciated.
I truly still can't understand how some random obscure cell phone accessory distro has OEM Samsung screen protectors, when Samsung themselves (or any other major retailer) haven't started selling it yet. Ordered anyway, but really not sure about this one.
Thanks in advance to anyone who shares their experience with me.

Don't hold your breath on availability from MobileFun.com.
On new OEM items, you'll notice more often than not the actual availability will get pushed back several times.
Best advice I can give is check the status several times a day, along with other sources.
They're a legitimate e-tailer, but, they stretch the truth on availability ETA's.
Additionally.....
I was just browsing their website, and they are offering products that Manufacturers do not even offer (as well as major retailers). How is this possible?
I am almost certain these are OEM Replicas, copied in China. Please prove to me that I am wrong, I've already gave them some money. I guess we will see how it goes.
Spigen hasn't put out their curved crystal yet, but this site has it? Definitely strange to me at least.

Thank you, I appreciate your honest feedback. Have you ever dealt with their customer support? Are they any good? Responsive?
If I don't get it within a couple weeks, I'll probably cancel and wait on Samsung.
The Screen protection for the Note 7 has been a nightmare (for everyone I'm sure).

They've responsive & cooperative, but,they're "overly optimistic" on new mdse availability.
I got mine from an eBayer before he ran out of stock. (The $299.95 price some have reported is just a placeholder until he can get more).
I paid $17.99 for mine, might wanna contact (virtual-depot), see if he actually plans on restocking @ the original price.

Yea, saw that too. It's as if this OEM SP is some rare unicorn or something. Well, can't do much now since I already ordered it. I will report back my experience, as well as wait times.
Thanks again for your feedback.
The OEM Samsung screen protector also gets like this, right?
