Need one for N4 and i think its nice one.
Just read some feedback on sellers ID and people are happy with it,
Quality looks good.
Youtube about Nillkin Matte Hard Cover for other models got positive reviews.
Already Order one from ebay. will post more detail when receive.
Ebay Link
Ordered the same one.
Always been fan of Incipio Feather cases (Nexus S and GNex) but they don't have anything yet for N4.
I've been eyeing these along with the Rearth ones. My only concern with these is that they don't seem to have a soft-touch/rubberised finish. I've used a number of Case-Mate Barely There cases and really appreciate the subtle extra grip.
Looking forward to seeing what people have to say about them when they arrive.
I had 3 of these for my GS III and have ordered 3 more for my N4; one for me, one for my wife, and one as a spare different color. They were EXCELLENT on the GSIII; it felt so secure and clipped onto the phone that it felt as if it was built with it from the beginning. I can only hope it fits the N4 the same.
I also had the Rearth cases on my GSIII and they were good too, but that obviously hasn't been the same on the N4.
Think these will be more grippy?

Mine were on the gsiii. On eBay there are white, black, red, and brown; they have the same texture as my gsiii cases had. The blue, yellow, and other black appear to be slightly different.
Ordered mine a week ago.
Won't be here until late dec.
Will be on holiday that time.
It's better if there's a UK seller though,
Ordered a white one yesterday and got a shipping confirmation yesterday as well. Now I'm waiting for it to arrive (E-Mail said aproximately 10-20 days).
Ya I ordered a black one on Nov 29th. To me it looks at least in the pictures like a allot more premium product then the Rearth Ringke case so I went with it. Anyway no case for me now so can't wait to get it.
Already recieved
Just wanted to chime in here - I ordered one of these cases on 11/28 and received on 12/4. Incredibly fast shipping from Hong Kong (from the ebay seller ecdigi.shop).
The case itself is very nice, and came in retail packaging. Good grip, and the texture on the back is better than I thought it would be. Also included a dry-application screen protector that shockingly had the correct sensor cutouts. My only complaint (and I knew this before I purchased) is that the case doesn't wrap the entire phone - the top and bottom edges are still exposed.

You're complaint is how they've always been, with the top and bottom exposed, but I'm glad that everything is good!! I ordered mine last week too s maybe they will get here sooner.

wow thats some great fast shipping, I wish I had ordered from them as I just realized it like 60 cents cheaper then from the buyer I bought it from and don't think I will get it for at least another 10 days.
Ordered one of these as well from ebay seller tablet.world.
Pics from anyone who has this already would definitely be appreciated.

Good to hear that the shipping is fast! I bought a red one on the 27th from the same seller, and while I haven't received mine yet (tracking is still at In Transit, "Origin Post is Preparing Shipment") I'm hopeful that I shouldn't have to wait too much longer.
How much of a lip does the case provide around the screen, or is it like the Feather cases in that it is more or less flush with the screen? The images from Nillkin made it kind of hard for me to gauge at a glance.

Sorry, no pics at the moment - it's the wife's phone so it's in the city today. I'll try to get some pics of the case tonight.
In regard to the lip around the screen - it is just about flush. I put it face-down on the counter and was able to see light out the other side, but just minimally (I'd say 1mm or less clearance).

If you can manage a video showing off the case, it'd be really great.
EDIT: Gave up and bought the red one. Was really torn between buying the ultraslim blue case, but then decided against it .. Well , should reach around the same time as the mobile I suppose

What case will you be getting, if any?
Post your $0.02, give a little review, discuss.
I'll start:
I ordered an otterbox commuter series case for the Desire HD, and am crossing my fingers that the Inspire and DHD are exactly the same. I feel like the commuter is the best balance between essential protection, without adding too much more bulk onto an already large device (to me, slimness is a deal breaking factor). When it comes in, and I have the phone on the 13th, I will test it out and report my findings. If it doesn't fit - I'm going to go with the case-mate 'barely there' case. The only reason I did not choose this case - strangely enough - is that it didn't cover the aluminum/glass seams on the front face of the phone.
Has anyone owned an otterbox before? Please comment on the quality, snugness, design etc - let me know what I should expect.
When I first got my Captivate I also ordered the Otterbox Commuter, however it was a bit too bulky for me since I like the aesthetics of the devices that I buy, and it hampered it too much.
With that said, I will first start out with a naked device, then I might move to a PhantomSkinz Chromatic skin. I love those things.
If I want a bit more protection, then I will definitely be getting a CaseMate Barely There too.
Heh, I also just ordered the OtterBox commuter case for DesireHD, it shipped out today. I'm hoping it fits ok, it should...
I love otterbox protection but hate the bulk. I will be going with a casemate gel skin and a gelaskin for the back along with an invisible shield for the screen

I am thinking it will fit perfectly - after doing more case research last night I found that Seidio is advertising cases for the Inspire/DHD. Unless they are purposely making a blanket case with some added "wiggle room", I believe they know for a fact the two devices share the same dimensions.
When did you order yours? I ordered mine last night (2/7/11, 11:30 pm) and have not received a shipping email yet.
Is the commuter really that bulky? I wonder how easy it is to return a case to them...
Edit: Just checked out their return policy. Seems pretty basic, except shipping costs are non refundable. If it turns out I don't like the case, I'll eat the charge for shipping it back to them (I used a coupon code that got 10% off/free shipping).
I will get the accessories package at the at&t store, but if that isn't enough, I may buy this: http://www.case-mate.com/HTC-Desire-HD/Case-Mate-HTC-Desire-HD-Clear-Armor.asp
What do you think?

I ordered mine on 2/07 at 2am, and got the shipping confirmation later the same day at 7pm... So that's about 17 hours, lol. I'm guessing that yours will probably ship out by 2/08 at some point? I'm pretty sure we'll get them by the end of the week. I used the same deal, 10% off with free shipping.
I have not seen the OtterBox Commuter cases in person, but they look a lot less bulky than the Defender cases! A friend has the Defender case for iPhone 4 and while it's nice, it's freakin' huge, haha. I think the Commuter series is supposed to be like a lighter version of the Defender, which is exactly what I want.
I always had the gel skin case made by boxwave. It's very easy take off and on. Feels good in your hand. It's doesn't add bulk. They also have one for desire hd which should fit the inspire. I am very excited about the release.

My experience with these cases are never good. While they seem great in theory, I have the way that without fail - dirt and lint get stuck on all of the edges of the plastic. Whether you keep it in your pocket or keep it in your hand, it has happened on every clear shield I have applied. Not to mention they are very tricky to apply to contoured surfaces. They protect from scratches, but don't drop it - your edge will still be exposed (which is probably what is going to hit the ground first)
I have only owned the zagg versions of these, so I don't know if the case mate ones are any different. The last one I owned was actually for an iPhone 4. While I was in the store, despite my previous experiences with them, I thought that it would be a good idea - since the front and back of the iphone 4 are completely flat. While it was a breeze to install, the plastic protector never quite took hold of the glass surface and when I would put it in my pocket, I would remove it to find the protector all disheveled over the phone. I eventually just ripped it off and found a slim hard case.

If you'd like to take a gander, check out this youtube video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=123iryBuCcs
It's a home-made vid, but you get the idea.
Thanks for the vid link, case looks awesome, doesnt seem bulky at all
Case
This case has great reviews on an htc desire site. Its made from TPU which is a little harder and less "sticky" than a gel case. Same material as my iphone's iskin case which I've had for over a year. I've dropped it multiple times, and no damage to the phone or case. Prob the best material IMO. Here is the link : http://www.eforcity.com/tpu-rubber-...04.html?efprcggbadtf110207=sc+gb+chtcdesisc04

Probably similar to the Flexishield case I have on my Hero. If so, they are great.
Just ordered that case, $3.79 shipped on eBay.
I plan on getting the seidio innocase II case holster combo for the inspire when it ships
Cool, my OtterBox Commuter case (for Desire HD) came in today! Took 3 days total with (free) shipping via USPS Priority.
The case is NICE! Way better than I expected and really not too bulky looking at all. I'd say no thicker than any other normal case. I like the combination of the rubber + hard shell. The case also has a nice texture to it as well. Now I just hope it fits the Inspire ok, lol.
I pre-ordered from Radio Shack, guy told me they were getting the Inspires in "early" for the 10th, because they're trying to compete with Verizon iPhone (which launches on the 10th). I have no idea if he's right or not, but will call on Thurs afternoon to check, and maybe I'll have a nice surprise...
I preordered mine through radioshack as well i hope they call me earlier than the 13th to come pick it up. i'm paying retail for the phone so i wonder if I'll get the 30 accessorie gift card? Any suggestions?
So we can buy any desire hd case and it will fit the inspire?

I ordered 4 of them from the shack and was told I would get the $30 card for each phone. Also not sure if you did this or not, but on the bottom of your preorder receipt theres a survey link , tkaes about 3 minutes, and at the end you print out a coupon for $10 off your next $40 purchase (picking up the phone )
Plus $2.95 shipping.
Makes it $3.90 shipped. Arrives in 4 days.
Maybe its worth this.. Amazon prices fluctuate
http://www.amazon.com/Skinomi-TechS...OF9C/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1336438044&sr=8-1
What the heck, I ordered mine yesterday from Amazon and paid $6.99 + shipping =(
For that price I might as well try it out.
Hmmm.. very tempting. Report back on how this fits.
might as well buy 2 or more lo
nvm they charge 2.95 or whatever for each
They suck if you are using a case, especially a TPU case. Most TPU cases (like mine) will push on the edges of the screen protector, causing them to bubble, very annoying. I put mine on today, and also ripped it off today.
Just installed mine. I'm anticipating this problem. The edges already seem like they are a little off the side due to a poor placement. So they won't likely stay in place. Not sure what I'm going to replace it with...
Rabble rabble rabble.
Just order one plus a generic clear plastic case. will let you know how they work together.
what clear case did you order? i been looking
I just ordered one for $3.90 total. Can't complain. Just wish I noticed it before I ordered the Zagg one. But thats ok Ill have a spare in case the zagg one craps out on me.
Sucks I only got 25% off of mine using the coupon code on Skinomi's site, but I may just have to get another one to have as a backup. I love the feel of it on the HOX. Feels much better than Zagg.
I installed mine last night. It is a pretty nice protector, the feel is great and it doesn't have much orange peel. In certain light you can tell it is there. But in terms of screen clarity it is invisible. Only gripe is that I installed it a tiny tiny bit lopsided so the edges are over the edge of the phone. When I put my TPU case on it bubbles up the edges. Just ordered another with this deal. Might have to exchange my device anyway since the screen is dimpling when I touch it.
for $4, sure why not
I ordered this a week or two ago. It's on my One X as well but I have a TPU case and the edges constantly bubble up
Want to go naked but I always end up scratching screen when I do. Might rock with no case.
Does it come with one screen protector or two?
In the past when I've bought screen protectors they've often come in packs of two which has been good as I usually screw up the first application.
Wet styles just come with one.

I bought one of these for my dad's One S and it is one of the most minimal and good looking cases I've ever used. The textured back is brilliant and feels great but the top and bottom edges aren't protected that well.
Still for £5.25 you can't go wrong.

I've had a look on youtube and this is the closest I could find https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJpy_f2OoLU but those are all smooth backed where as this has a textured back which I prefer because you can't see scratches on it and feels better imo.

The seller states "100% Nillkin Original Genuine New & Retail Box IN STOCK" and is pretty high rated so I just took their word and ordered it.
This is the official nillkin page: http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=0&cid=1&scid=13&id=2960&page=1
Ordered one myself, looks really good quality. Bunch of people selling them on eBay for $7 or so which is good
Thats an awesome case, but i hate it when they leave the top and bottom unprotected. Thats why ive gone tpu.
Might give it a try in future though.
Looks great but the cases ship from China and take 3 weeks to arrive according to the expected delivery times.

The top and bottom doesn't bother me. I prefer to use my phones naked but feel like I need some protection for the back of the N4. I ordered a Ringke slim case and now this. I'll probably pick up an inexpensive TPU case as well and be set
Now if only I could get my phone
That is a nice looking case! As others have stated though, they should have put a few pennies more of plastic to cover the two most prone areas to drop damage aside from the corner! I'm a big fan of the silicone + hard cover combo cases like Otterbox and Casemate make and have been waiting for one of them to put out a case, but it's taking too long and this is a case I'd consider IF it had covered the top/bottom
Still leaning towards the bumper... but this is pretty close to what I'd want!
I had this case for my 4X HD, top notch. They feel great in hand as well. Excellent quality.

Just ordered a black one on Ebay for $8.99 that says it will arrive between Dec 6th and the 14th. I was debating on whether or not to get white or black but in the end the best shipping time was by a seller only offering black. Not a big deal I guess.
Ordered a red one from this,
few cents cheaper and it's from Hong Kong which should have better shipping than China

woot, thanks to you i ordered one too. everyone i saw at first said dec 14th - jan 1st. i was like screw that lol. but after your post i looked harder and found one that should arrive between dec 7th and dec 13th. buyin cases is like shoes, gotta have a few!
I was going to get the brown case until somebody mentioned that the top and the bottom aren't covered. I've been waiting for a brown or green cover for the longest time, but none of the TPU covers have these covers.
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:
http://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw...udhi=&_sop=12&_fpos=&_fspt=1&_sadis=&LH_CAds=
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.
amazon.com/gp/product/B00B4BEA82 (I can't post outside links yet)
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.

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...

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 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). http://www.ebay.com/sch/items/?_nkw...udhi=&_sop=12&_fpos=&_fspt=1&_sadis=&LH_CAds=

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.

lol I actually just posted up a review about that 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.

Yes, my apologies - I thought I had called that out but must have lost it when editing. The Diztronic Matte TPU DOES have a slot shaped opening which supports Verizon Note 4. My Verizon Note 4 is shown in the pics I've added above.

I have updated the original post with pics and confirmation regarding the mic opening and the VZ Note 4. I realized I mentioned this in another case thread but originally failed to include it here.

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.
