Alright. So, impressions first.
I've used Seidio Active cases on all of my phones since my original Incredible (quite a few devices). I love them. It was a no-brainer to get one for my One X. I hadn't ever used one of the kickstand models, so this is a first for me.
First off, the case is great. Very well designed, feels really really good in the hand. It gives the physical buttons (power, volume) a better feeling, makes them easier to use. I know some people had issues with the power button being a little too recessed, so this should remedy the issue a little.
It looks great. I got the glossed white, and I have to say, if you got the white One X, this is definitely the way to go. Really accentuates the overall look of the device, matches nicely.
The case should definitely prevent a lot of damage from drops. The silicon layer allows you to put it down face first without it resting on the screen, and the hard shell gives it good protection on the edges and corners. It also lifts the phone off of the camera lens.
The kickstand. This is kind of meh, to be honest. It is advertised as a metal kickstand, but honestly it feels pretty flimsy. It does support the phone on its side, but you cannot set it up vertically (like you can with the Thunderbolt). I've honestly not used the kickstand much. I don't use my phone for watching stuff very often, and even less often do I need to rest it that way. It can't be charged while the kickstand is out since the charging port is covered.
Another gripe about the kickstand is that it puts a little bulge on the back of the case. You can't really tell on the site, but it juts out a little. Kind of awkward, kind of throws off the minimal look to it. Not a huge deal though. I did contact Seidio and they said they have no plans to develop the Active case without a kickstand for the One X. So it is what it is.
Overall, it is a great case. If you are looking for solid protection with minimal bulk, this is definitely for you. I was actually really surprised how thin the device stays with the case on. Thanks to the hard shell the case doesn't make it difficult to pocket, since the silicon layer isn't what contacts the inside of the pocket (if that is an issue for you).
I'd definitely say it is worth it. Some will love and use the kickstand probably, others will likely be indifferent. I could live without it. But you can't beat the look or the feel, or the peace of mind it brings. Recommended!
Pictures! Apologies for...the space sheets. And the various books on psychology. The general cleanliness of the background. Haha.
Okay, it won't let me upload them to here. Too big I guess. Idk. Here's a link to my public Dropbox folder with the pictures in it.

looks nice
tad thick for my taste but nice none the less
Hmm... I really like the Kickstand. I purchased the platinum version of the seidio surface case from best buy and it lacks the kickstand. Will probably return it and get the surface case with the kickstand instead. All in all, Thanks for the Pics!
I have really been considering this case. It seems really nice. The only thing that has me not wanting a case on this phone is I'm worried it will detract from the ergonomics of the screen. The lip around the screen looks like it will make it more difficult to use the edges of the screen.

I got both this one and the Surface case at the same time so I could compare them. I have to say that I absolutely love the Surface case, but was not a fan of the active with kickstand. The Active has that awkward bulge in the back where the kickstand is, and I just didn't like the look and fit on the phone. The Surface, in my opinion, is just about perfect. It fits great over my Zagg screen protector, and it is very minimalistic and i think it actually helps maintain the phone's natural good looks! If you haven't tried the Surface case, give it a try! ( There's a thread on here somewhere with pictures of the Surface case... I'll try to find it and post a link.)

Thanks for the advice. It looks as though the surface would be better for me since it doesn't seem like it would have the issue I was worried about with the screen.

I get the surface cases for every phone I buy. I have to have a clip and the surface case is the best option for me. It doesn't add a lot of bulk but still feels protected. I was glad that Best Buy got the platinum case in for the HOX really quick. Identical to the surface case but 10 bucks cheaper.

Review of Active w/ kickstand
I've had my Active w/ kickstand for a couple of days. I really like the case. I got the blue version. The blue is darker and has a slight metallic tint. I think it looks better than the pictures seidio has posted online. The rubber skin makes the buttons easier to press, and has a great tactile feel. This is great for the power button, which usually took me a couple of tries without the case. I'd prefer the volumes weren't as easy to press, but not a big deal. The kickstand works well for me, but the charging port is at the bottom, when the kickstand is out. So you can't charge and use the kickstand at the same time. The edges of the screen are easy to use, unless you use the advanced setting in chrome that puts the menu button on the side. Also the lip, can interfere with your screen protector. I had to readjust mine to make sure it didn't line up with the edge of the lip, otherwise the lip tends to push the edge of the screen protector up.
Hope that helps, anyone considering this case.
Confused
http://www.amazon.com/Seidio-CSK3HT...LRRI/ref=sr_1_8?ie=UTF8&qid=1339456253&sr=8-8
On Amazon, Seidio claims that this case fits both the AT&T One X and the International One X. Does it indeed fit both, or just ours, or just the International? I need to buy a case, and I would prefer one with a kickstand. If anyone can tell me if the one on Amazon fits, that would be great. It would also be really helpful if you posted a link to a case for the AT&T One X that offers superior protection to the Seidio case, but also has a kickstand, but ideally I would like to order the Seidio for the AT&T One X. Sorry to be so demanding, but I won't take this phone out of my house until I get a case, and I really want to show it off at school
It does fit..i have the one for the international and it fits snuggly on my xl

Just bought this in black, the exoskeleton idea is cool. My adreama case always felt like it works scratch it when removing.
Hail Cobra!
I've always liked seidio's products. Especially their active line cases. the AT&T rep was trying to get me to buy their $50 POS hard case. I didn't, the plastic feel just isn't good for me. Plus also the seidio holster is a lot better.
I got the case in red. I think it looks great. The kickstand does feel a little cheap but it ain't bad. I can live with it When propped up, it does its job quite well. My only complaint about the case is that because the edges of the screen on this phone are not raised, the case rubs up against the edge of my screen protector and it keeps lifting it then I push it back down. I may have to try to find a screen protector that has some stickiness to it.

One side note on the Surface is the fact that when using the kickstand, the USB port is underneath, preventing you from charging it at the same time
But still, it's the best fit for the looks of the phone and protects the camera so you don't have to worry about setting it down roughly. my 2 cents
Have the same case but in black. Seems like it will def protect the phone. Feels good, haven't used the kickstand yet but will hold the phone up. Fairly easy to install and remove. Thought about the Surface case but wanted a case just for when I'm in the garage or outside at the beach or something so went with some extra protection. Rest of the time just use the phone as is with a screen protector. Like the design of the phone so don't care to have a case on it all the time.
Like I said in my other reviews, I haven't found a case that I love. So I went ahead about bought yet another and this time it's the Moko Ultra Slim Lightweight Smart-Shell- and it finally arrived yesterday. I gave it a whirl for the day and decided to write this review.
First thing's first- the case was cheap- I picked mine up for $4.95 (free shipping for Amazon Prime or $25). However at the time of this review, it's price has gone up to $8.99. It also comes with 11 other colors- though anything other than black will cost you $12.99.
The case while at a low price point feels quite premium at hand. Unlike the Moko Folio, this one feels great and the leather actually feels like it's real (it's definitely not though). While having a solid feel, it still manages to keep thin and fits nicely into your jean's back pocket (at least it does for mine).
Finally, the camera is slightly recessed into the case, which is a plus since it was a bump on the back. The magnet is strong and this case does support the sleep/wake function. Unlike the Moko Folio I had in the other thread, the magnets are well hidden in the cover. To keep it closed, the case itself has a magnet (it's shown in one of the pics below- looks like 2 metal slits on the bezel) where the company logo's silver tab latches onto. Overall, I love this case a lot- the best of the 3 I have.
The only caveat I find with this case is that 1- when it's resting on the table with the cover folded as a triangle, the angle is a little lower than I'd like it. I like to have cases actually lift the tablet a little higher up and 2- if this were to drop on it's bottom, it would most likely be damaged. To keep the slim profile, the bottom bevel is very thin and doesn't serve well to protect. But if you're careful with your electronics and use this to throw in your bag, this case is definitely for you! I give it an 8/10.
Pros
-Inexpensive
-Super slim, looks great- lightweight as well
-Sleep/Wake function (though a lot of folios have this)
-Comes in 12 different colors
-Camera is recessed
-Strong magnet keeps the cover closed
Cons
-Bottom bevel could be slightly thicker to protect from drops
-Folded cover doesn't give the tablet much angle when it's on the table
Thanks for sharing your review! I've been interested in this case.
I may have more thoughts and/or questions later, but at the moment I just have the following observation...

I've noticed this problem with multiple cases for the Note 8 and I think it is because of the speakers (I believe that is what the two slots are). The easiest way for a case to not cover the speakers is to just do a half-height or quarter-height lip. But with that, the usb port and then the S-Pen in the corner you end up with very little coverage for the bottom of the Note when holding it in portrait orientation. Even the official Samsung Book Cover case suffers from this same deficiency. I'm guessing this design element of the Note was either an oversight or a compromise. But regardless I suspect this is a problem most Note 8 cases will suffer from.
Ah I understand that. Was hoping it would have been thicker though!

Looks like a nice case. Anyway, personally I try to avoid cases with magnets. In fact I bought some and removed the magnets. I tried few case with magnets with my Note 8.0 and I think it was the sleep magnet that messed up screen a bit. When case was folded back I wasn't able to use Pen in that point where the magnet was. Another problem with one case what also with the sleep magnet. When ever I folded the case back the screen closed. So no matter case closed or folded back screen always closes.. convenient

Oh yeah, I do see what you're saying there! So not only is there not much coverage (on the bottom edge), but what is there is much thinner than some of the case edges elsewhere on the case. That is unfortunate!

I have this exact same case. On Mine, the cover seems to overextend the tablet by 2-3mm, which is really weird. or in another words the cover seems a little too big? Is yours like that? perhaps i should ask for exchange.

Do you mean the corners like in the last picture posted? I have the same case and although at the moment I like this case best, it also bugs me that three corners extend further up than the tablet. It may be designed that way for extra protection.

Yea even if it's slightly more expensive than what I paid, I think this case is great. I've been using it for a week now and I honestly can't complain. The cover does feel like it's bigger than the case as someone mentioned but it's really kind of an illusion because of the exposed corner for the pen.

yea man...I really suggest you either try to cancel your order or dispute it. There's definitely no sleep/wake function on that case. If you go to my review thread- there's other people there that bought the case and can also confirm that it doesn't have that function and that it isn't because I received a defective unit
Just got this case. I really like it, but I'm curious what others think of the magnets that hold the cover closed on the right side? They seem pretty strong and I'm wondering if extended exposure to these magnets could cause problems for the device. What do you guys think?

I have the kraken for my S3 and love it. It adds a lot of bulk. If you use your note in an active situation or work in a physical job and use it in the field, I would get it. If you are an office worker or generally good with your fragile gadgets then go with some thing like a folio cover.

Got the Spigen Neo-Hybrid case. Rubber shock case with hard plastic frame.
I like it, has the same texture as the S5 on the back. I have the silver, very nice looking. I think they have like 6 colors to choose from.
Weighs next to nothing and doesn't increase the phone size too much. Cheapest I found was Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Spigen%C2%AE-METALLIZED-BUTTONS-Protective-Protection/dp/B00I3UWGVA/ref=sr_1_3?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1400088241&sr=1-3&keywords=Galaxy+S5+spigen+neo+hybrid
Nice Case ! :good:
Looks like a nice case, but the cheapest you found one amazon ain't cheap... I mean, in general this case isn't cheap lol
I bought this case for my S5 as I had it for the S4.
Dont know whether its the size difference between the two phones but, with this new case, my S5 seems huge.
I like the case but just prefer my phone without it....

Yeah, it squares the corners, i.e. makes it thicker. I could have lived without the larger screen on the S5. Made it just big enough to not fit a pocket but not enough to really make a difference. When everyone asks me what my phone is I tell them iPhone because it looks like a giant iPhone in this case.
I have that case and my phone looks huge with it.
Been looking for a back door with more protection in replacement of existing OEM door. Best way to get protection without increasing the size of the phone.
Wow, easily one of the best cases I've seen for the GS5.
I just returned thus case back to Amazon, I felt it made my phone too wide. But it is a really nice looking case, I'm ordering the ultra hybrid because I gad it on my nexus 5 and loved it

I am using a slick wraps natrual leather skin right now and honestly, for the first time I dont think these work with the Notes sharp curve off. Its sad but on the S7 Edge it was perfection. Just a bit too on the side rather than fully down turned on the note. Kind of ruins the feel.
And yes I burndished the crap out of all edge prior.

I got the calicase. Very very thin. Not the most attractive plastic and a bit slippery but adds hardly any weight or thickness to the device. Also doesn't show fingerprints which is what drives me mad with the clear cases.

I got this one as a review unit from Choetech so I'm speaking from personal experience. Not sure if it is as thin as Peel but it is very thing

Using the Choe now. I like it but all clear TPU cases look so cheap to me. If you are going clear TPU though, this is the one. Its much thinner than most.
I really just want a leather case (non wallet) that is super thin. They just don't seem to exist.
Edit: The CaliCase ultra thin does seem to be the equivalent of what OP mentioned the Peel to be to iPhone. Here is the product link:

and the more i read over all the "thinnest case" threads, I think this is the case that takes the cake. Below was my recommendation for a nice thin case with minimal protection that also has a great texture, but this CaliCase is a full protection case.

Bear Motion case is incredible and has a very awesome micro grip texture. I don't know how else to say it but I really recommend giving this case a try. it will not protect the front screen and I prefer a screen protector to do that. it is minimal coverage and very slim, feels great in my medium sized hands.

I have the calicase. It is VERY thin, and has a good feel to it. The two downsides I see so far are it offers little to no protection from drops, and it isn't clear. It is a cloudy clear, and doesn't show the dbrand skin I have.
