So has anyone bought this case yet for the Charge? I notice that they are shipping these now according to their website. There aren't really any good pictures though, just the one of the back of the case. I would like to see what it looks like on the phone and what the coverage is in the front.

Great review. I had the same case on my fascinate and the cutout around the power button made locking/unlocking the screen fairly difficult. I ended up sending it back and getting an active-x instead.
Do you have any issues accessing the power button or any of the the other ports?
If not, I may have to pick this one up. I'm running naked with no holster and it's driving me nuts!
I have had no issues. However, to be fair, I've owned a Seidio case for my past 5 phones so I may just be used to it.

Thanks for the great review. I too have used a Seidio on my Hero and EVO. When mine came in the mail today I was worried about the new style. But like you said, seems to hold very well.
Question. Do you use a second battery? How often do you take the case off? I feel like im gonna break it when i do.
Edit
Question. Do you ever have trouble with the clip between the usb port and the volume buttons? Mine comes undone in my pocket EVERY time. This causes the bottom snaps to also come undone

Negative, but I take it off pretty regularly to keep dust and dirty down (and odin new ROMs). I found our pops apart fairly simply when I start at the slot under the hdmi out.

Yes, though not every time. Maybe once or twice a day... tops. I usually use the holster when I'm at work so I usually don't have the problem. Pushing left on the top piece (from the screen) will recreate the issue. More of an annoyance than a problem (didn't even notice it for a few weeks)!

I've never owned a sedio case before, is it durable? it looks exactly like what i want but i feel like it might be kind of fragile. i've known people who owned cases with 2 snap-on pieces and they always break within 2 weeks of purchasing. maybe they just bought cheap ones?

They are definitely sturdy.
That being said, I find that the holster is what sells me on the product as it's extremely useful for me when I'm at work. Dollar for dollar, if you are looking for a similar case, Best Buy sells one that's almost identical. They'll even let you put it on the phone and try it before you purchase it.

That sounds good, i guess my friend bought a cheap one. the rubberized part of the corners started to peel off, then the clips snapped off about 2 weeks after he bought it. just from your review and the youtube review i saw, it did look significantly sturdier from what he had bought but i was just kind of paranoid after seeing his.
and on the case at best buy, i did like it but i was looking for a rubberized hardshell case, that was the only real flaw i saw with that one. which brings me to my next question, is this one sort of rubberized? i initially thought it was but now i'm starting to think otherwise lol

The Rocket Fish BB case has the same feel as the Seidio. Both are plastic but the Seidio is a hair thicker and has their signature "soft touch" that, IMO, is a nicer feel.

I'm kind of leaning towards the seidio, mostly because i don't like the best buy brand too much i'll probably head down to BB tomorrow and take a look at it again. i really appreciate the help and quick responses

Hi guys,
Got my case from Mobile Fun today. Decent case but not really worth the price it's at. It's just that I hate S-Line cases so I had to get something else for now.
Have attached a couple of pictures.

Does this case give full rear and side protection, and does it raise slightly to give a lip over the screen if you lie the phone face down. Also is that the clear version. Thanks .

The protection is full rear and side. So pretty good in that sense. However, the lip is there but it is only ever so slight.

Sorry didn't see that part in your question. Yes it's the clear version that's listed on the website. Different to their pics but I prefer it this way to be fair.

Hi,
I just ordered this case too. Why do you say it's not worth the price? What aren't u happy about? Can you give me some insight while I can still cancel the order?
I picked this one cause It's clear and it has the rubber feel (I dont like the solid cases like the S shape one).
Btw, I never used a case before, I always had my phones naked but I don't want to risk with this baby N4
Case does great for me. Means I can hold it safer without risk of dropping
Some pictures to try and help - not sure they actually show anything.
My only negative feedback so far: Sometimes I think the power button isn't as responsive as I'd like because of the extra plastic cover but that's minor and I'll get used to pressing the button a little more.
I've actually got the exact same case on my phone as I type this. I quite like the case, it's cheap so I can't really complain about it.

I have this case too (smoke version). I'm quite impressed with it TBH. It's more rigid than the usual TPU cases and will offer a bit more protection (I hope)
You can still see the writing on the back through the case, but not the nice shiny bits.
It's not as 'grippy' when lying on the table as some of my previous cases, but grippy enough not to slide off easily.

Hi all
So I will be in receipt of my Note 4 next week and whilst this may be an odd thing to ask, I was wondering if anyone makes (or can make) a nicer back cover for these? I'm thinking something metal though I understand that may be a bit of a push (carbon maybe?! I'll be happy to pay for a one off!)
I ask because I remember how flimsy the back cover on my old Galaxy S3 was plus I'm not digging the "Faux Leather" thing!
Any Ideas or am I dreaming?!
Thanks
If you like premium, wait until Element Case releases their Note 4 lineup. I always get my cases from them and they're perfect. All of their cases push the speaker sound to the front as well

Thanks for that, though it's not a case I'm looking for. More specifically it's the rear cover of the phone I want to replace.

According to Element's Facebook page, they have no current plans to design a case for the Note 4.
Sucks, they're extremely nice.

Don't think so.
I'd settle for the front firing speaker support
My cover doesn't fit properly out of the box yesterday, so I'm interested in getting a decent replacement too.
So it seems someone else thought the same as me!
It says it may interfere with NFC but seeing as I don't use it this is not an issue for me.

If you want premium check out the Mont Blanc cases for the Note 4. They also offer their pens with wacom stylus features.

Do not buy from mobile fun, they are an absolute rip off.
Here's an ebay link to that item for $12 less and free shipping: http://www.ebay.com/itm/161492609153
As far as fashionable backs go, try these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/131327218109

i wonder how the signal is on something like this?
Those Element Cases are incredibly hot (not to mention completely reasonably priced)! No idea how I've never heard of them before... Might I suggest that those who agree start contacting them and "requesting" (demanding ) that they make a Note 4 case?

Samsung Clear Cover Note 9 Transparent
FYI..
Actually samsung did it with Note9, found it by luck in one of our local online stores here in Dubai. I don't think its available on Amazon anywhere (US, UK & CANADA) YETTTT...
Sharing it here so if others are interested, they can keep an open eye around waiting for it.
This is mostly a plastic snap on case, not a tpu.
Ordered it, & i didn't receive it yet, will update this upon receiving it. If any is interested.
The local online store doesn't ship internationally, so am not sharing it here.
I want this. Keep me updated OP
I’m really looking forward to this case. It is the only one of the official cases that appears to be out of stock everywhere. I had this hard case for my Note 8 and even though it doesn’t seem to offer that much protection it provides a perfect grip and make the withd of the phone ideal to not slip at all from the hand.
Doesnt it come with the phone?

I've bought it today. It looks very nice and slim. Of course it fits like glove. It has a grippy feeling which is good for me. And it is soft not a hard case. I'm glad I've bought it Hope it does not turn to yellow soon.
Could you please upload some pictures? I wonder if it is the same case that came in the box ?
Looks like they tinted it slightly blue/gray which should reduce the yellowing effect.
I want the hard plastic case like they had for the Note 8. Felt like you didnt even have a case on it. Oh well.

I bought this generic one on 8/15, it delivered today:
https://rover.ebay.com/rover/0/0/0?mpre=https://www.ebay.com/ulk/itm/292656916441
Real nice fit, ultra slim profile & no rainbow effect.
FWIW, it does not have the raised corners (or any raised edges) like the PC OEM Case for the Note 8.
Protection is as minimal as it gets, top & bottom are fully exposed, oversized cutouts for the buttons.
IMHO, perfect......
@Semantics
EDIT:
Seems the selller has updated/substituted what I purchased.
The one in the link is not what I have,SMH,sorry about that........
@Semantics
EDIT #2
Here's one that closely resembles what I ordered:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Galaxy-Not...-Cover-Clear/163216970699?hash=item26007d53cb
It has a bit more coverage,but,the buttons are still cut out,vs the protuding button coverage on most cases.
Yeah,a bit pricier than the one I originally linked,but,it's cheaper than the OEM Samsung one & actually available now.

The Pleson was 7.99 with Prime shipping. Just got it today, ordered on Wednesday (16th).
What's funny is, included in the box was a card saying I was selected to receive a $10 refund. *Shrug*
Is a protector really needed if my case has a nice lip? I've never thought of covering a camera other than my selfie one.

Yes, I have noticed some things. First, these protectors have this weird haze on it and can't get rid of it no matter how well you clean it. Taking some shots in my kitchen, there was a slight difference with it on and off. This particular item, I'm returning, because it's just a POS. Avoid this one. The other I purchased, I think it's ozero? That is a little better, but even that one has the weird haze problem. Have not noticed a difference in picture quality with it on or off for the ozero. Hope I helped!
And FYI, I'm also returning this item because they had a card inside that said I qualified to get a refund of $10. But the email they sent privately, wants me to leave a 5star review and then they'll PayPal me the $10. So no, I would never rate this one 5 Stars. I would rather return it and get my refund.

Dang, that's what I was worried about the haze/hue in the photos. They would need to widen the hole around the flash to avoid this issue. Sounds like the company is buying reviews. Sadly I have already ordered it and when it comes I'll put it on and see how bad it is and then return it. Guess another option is a skin but I don't want to bother with those. Hopefully it will be okay with a case that always keeps the lens elevated from all surfaces. Thanks for the information!

I wish I had another camera to take a picture of the haze on the protector for you. But hopefully you're won't have that problem. Yeah they definitely are buying reviews, trying to search how to report them for that.
On another note, I bought 2 Spigen cases: neo hybrid and rugged armor, they both elevate the area around the camera.

I'll try it when they come this Friday and see if there is a haze or not. I'm pretty sure I will have it if you did unless they somehow updated their product in the short period of time. I have the Google Fabric case and the Ringke Fusion X and they both have a nice lip to elevate the camera. I don't keep anything else in my phone pocket so theortically I should be okay even w/o the cover. But I would like it for peace of mind due to the larger surface area.

I tried this screen protector for the camera and got a very weird effect when I tried taking a photo with the flash. The photo was all white - or nearly so - like the flash was getting picked up and spread out through the glass protector - total piece of crap. Sending back now...
Got them and they're utter trash and seem like they're plastic and not glass. Returned.
