If anyone can post real pictures of it it would be appreciated!!
I also want to see actual pictures of this case. Ask our local Spigen dealer and they said that the case will be available on 2nd or 3rd week of January.
This isn't an actual hands on pic. Just a snip from Amazon.

I plan to order this one as my friend got one for his Alpha.
You pop the phone into the rubber bumper then the metal frame goes around the outside.
He has dropped it twice without any damage.

Wow they still failed to fix the amount of space you have to place your finger on the heart rate sensor and it still says auto focus..

Why would anyone want a case with a real metal bummer? One drop and it will bend and warp.

Yes, bring on the pictures.........................
I have the plastic version. Exact same thing, only with a plastic piece around it instead.
It's a really nice case. It adds thickness though. The back of the phone is just thick enough to make the case flush with the camera. All 4 sides gain approximately .25in in thickness. It protects the phone when dropped, but makes the phone feel bigger.
The chrome buttons on the side are perfect, unlike many cases. When you press them, they'll feel just like they were the buttons on the actual phone.
Besides the extra width, there are a couple more negatives. First, the openings for the 3.5mm jack and the micro USB do not allow you to plug in all cables. They are kind of small and because of that extra width, they are deep too. This is another issue. I couldn't get the phone to plug into a dock I bought. I had to return the dock (it wasn't very good anyway). Finally, the thickness makes removing and reinsert in the Spen awkward. It's doable, but you need to stick your finger into the case's Spen hole to make sure the stylus is in all the way.
I know it isn't the metal one, but I can post pics if wanted.

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?

Thanks! And that makes sense.
I purchased one and periodically I'd take off the case to showcase the phone's build quality because my friends were curious and today I noticed after owning and using the case for about 2 weeks that it leaves scratches all around the metal band. So now the entire front metal band on my phone is completely scratched up because of this case. So please stay away from this case and save your money for something better.
Well since you started. Ill continue.
The fusion one i got is warped at the bottom where charge port goes.
It fits well everywhere else except there. Im not gona damage my charge port because i have to force a charger in there due to the case firment issues.
Its very slippery and either i have oily fingers or the back of the case has an oil leak like my car.
The one i wanted to check out was the fusion max protect? Something like that.
But the tech21 looks like will get my monies once its available to other vendors

I've been doing some more research and apparently it's not the case but more of small particles of debris rubbing on the soft aluminum finish. So it's not really more of the cases fault and more it happening eventually from any case. either way still disappointing because my entire front looks beat. Oh well i'll learn to live with it.
people dont know how to take the case off so they mess up the phone and blame the case...pretty sure u are takin the case off wrong...if you buy a rinke...and rake it off like a tpu case...its gonna scratch!!!! ...its hard plastic ..raking it off will make it hold even tighter!

Educate the public on how to remove a case then...
I also purchased this case and in 2 days it has scuffed up the sides as well.
As others have said, how do you take off a RingKe case without messing up your phone?
I personally went with Seidio and glad I did. Almost brought a ringke but I'm glad I didn't. Wouldn't have known how to properly remove it. I recommend the OP leave the tittle the way it is. Even if it is the OP using it wrong, word needs to get out that these type of cases need a special touch on them or they ruin the look of your device.
its going to happen with other cases as well

Glad I got my body glove satin case, I often take it out to show friends and not one scratch on white note 4
this is true mine has scraches whenever i remove the case and i dont remove it ofter
TPU is fine, stay away from the polycarbonate cases
Yikes, I'm sorry your phone got scratched up. I have the same case in SF Black and I remove it to switch batteries every night. So far, not a single scratch from it, maybe I'm lucky. I know it's weird, , but maybe it's the way you remove it? I usually turn my phone upside down and use my nail to expand the corner outward, before moving to the top (now bottom) part of the case to do the same.
As others have mentioned, be wary of dust and other particles that may get between the case and the bezels. I always give a quick blow into the case and a wipe with microfiber before placing my (also wiped down) phone back into it.
It sucks that it scratched your phone, but I can't say I've had the same experience, this is my favorite and go-to case for my Note 4.

I also saw a review of the same thing for the spigen clear case so I ordered one to see what was up. Do you have the white or black note 4? Could we see some pics please?

Also, after examining the edge of the ringke and the iBlason, the edge seems very sharp and I think this is what is causing the scratches. I am going to try and chamfer the sharp edge and see what happens. I think some emery cloth and a little patience will go a long way.
Hi
Is someone so kind to explain the differences between case materials? Tpu, silicon, policarbon,gel, ...?
Is tpu the same as silicon?
Buying from the Internet is a mess, without touching and trying it before.

I don't think it's the cases, I think its the environment. Dusty or sandy environments I believe contribute to the scratching. Particles get between the case and the phone etc. Thats why people have such different experiences with the same cases. Ultimately I hope Samsung comes up with a better exterior design that avoids the soft exposed metal trim. I personally would have preferred the black paint all the way around as it has been far more durable for me. My wife will be going with the S6 when it comes out but only if they do away with the current metal trim thats on the Note 4.
I am considering getting the metal blue Aluminum Spigen Neo Hybrid case for my Note 4.
Has anyone experienced signal degradation due to the metal frame? Also anyone have this case and can provide pics on the phone? Looking for something slim, but also protective. I had the Neo Hybrid on my GS4 and was ok with it.
Just don't drop it. The aluminum will bend and look like hell thereafter.
I normally dont make a habit out of dropping my phone. With the Neo Hybrid on the GS4, you could buy replacement trim rings.

Im in it for both. I dont want something thick and clunky like an otterbox, but want something that does offer protection.
From the looks of it the Spigen Neo Hybrid has the same cushion pockets in the corners that most of their cases have. The only real issue, like you stated, is that if you drop it 1 time on a hard surface the aluminum will bend and look janky from there on out.
Can someone post up some "Real" pictures of this case?
Wow, I didn't even know they made one for Note 4.

Nice, thanks.
Neo hybrid aluminum in the titanium color. Also own the verus iron shield while a good case not as quality built as the spigen case. It feels better in the hand thanks to the tapered edges. Its exactly the same size bulk wise as the plastic neo hybrid which i own as well. Buttons on this case feel AMAZING!! Feels like pressing the bare buttons. Very tactile. It has slightly more lay on the table lip on the front than the plastic neo hybrid. The same as the iron shield i would say. Loved my iron shiled but this one is even better fit and finish. Overall this case a win for sure. Only downside i think is installing it is a really tight fit. Harder to install than the plastic neo hybrid or iron shield.

Thanks for posting the pictures. This case is nice because it doesn't make the phone too thick. I'll definitely keep this in consideration!
Really like the Spigen but I'm guessing it will make it pretty wide for my tiny hands. But if I had to choose, I'd take Spigen over the Verus. Verus like 99% of the other case makers just cuts out one big hole for the camera and flash. I like how Spigen has 2 spererate cutouts. It's the little details...
So the case has microphone holes that align with the Verizon Note 4?
I had these cases, but recently switched to a non-aluminum case because if effected my GPS a lot. It was extremely difficult to get a lock. Not sure if it effected the signal because I never did a comparison, but the GPS comparison was night and day.

I read somewhere that it's just plastic.
Confirm the bumper is plastic, and just polished to look like metal bumper.
Who would think that's metal? It's freaking plastic
my favorite case hands down
I've had bumper cases for almost all my Android phones. But I've been going "naked" on the V10 as it appears to be designed to take somewhat more beating that most phones (I typically drop my phone like once a year). I did notice this LG OEM bumper case BUT it says it's for the F600 whereas I have the US H901. Does anyone know if there's an actual fit difference? Are any of the ports blocked? Thanks in advance.

I did notice this LG OEM bumper case BUT it says it's for the F600 whereas I have the US H901. Does anyone know if there's an actual fit difference? Are any of the ports blocked? Thanks in advance.

OK, you convinced me. Ordered one from it's Korean homeland. Hopefully all the port cut-outs are in the same place!
Received the OEM bumper case. Fit is perfect, no worries about regional variants. Quality of plastics and coloring matches very well with the V10. Corners and sides are well protected.
However, the side rails of the bumper are just as slick as the steel rails of the V10, so there's no added grip. The front face is raised so the screen is protected but I have a Yootech hardened glass protector on top already. The worst thing is the back bumper is only raised at the bottom, so when flipped over the whole phone is resting on the bottom bumper and the camera lens! That's probably not much worse than originally but I expected better of an OEM bumper case. The port cut-outs are very accurate but the case seems "thicker" than other bumper cases I have used so you have to be more aware of how things plug in and possible microphone blockage.
Overall I would NOT recommend buying this bumper case, unfortunately there don't appear to be many alternatives.

Better than Obliq?
Used this bumper case since release and i haven't took it off once. Only thing is the bottom where the charger connects can be at times difficult.Hard to plug in other chargers. i ended up taking a gold piece off the bottom and it works perfect. The *plastic case* has taken all the damage but i rather damage the case then my actual phone. Works if you have a wireless charging battery cover/nfc. It doesn't look bad at all, and its not bulky. recommended
You don't want it if you have a second battery and swap batteries a lot. I've had 3 of them and all broke at one corner eventually. Longest one lasted was 2 months, others made it maybe a month. After the first broke I was very easy on the others but it didn't matter. The plastic eventually gets a stress crack and as soon as that appears it will be broke soon.
I notice they are a lot cheaper than when I bought them around when the phone came out. For $20 worth a shot, it was a cool case just garbage for what I paid. They were over $40 a piece.

Yeah, I get the feeling this case isn't good for regular removal. My old bumper case for the Note 3 was all silicon/rubber material and came off very easily. This one has hard plastic parts that seem very fragile from the first use.
I had it. Snapped in a week. I'm not easy on my phone but was very dissapointing for the price

I should mention I use 3 batteries and swap them daily. This case would be fine if left on.

Which is very disappointing, i don't like cases but after the first fall of this phone leaving an ugly dent i got a generic bumper with clear plastic on the back - it's ugly and would rather spend the $20 or so on the OEM case... but i swap batteries occasionally too...
Has anyone found a tpu bumper or any other bumper besides the crap aluminum one?

I don't even think there allowed to have their phones out while working so yeah IDK
I have a Extended Case for my G4 cause I have 3 Extended Batteries for my G4 and they all have that bumper like feature
I can't seem to find anyone with this case. No reviews or actually picture of the case besides the advertisement images on Amazon.

I have the VRS one but I find the bumper too thick so it makes it harder to handle the phone. Feels like I'm on my note 4 again. Trying to see if the Spigen is the same. Also I can't tell if the Spigens kickstand is just taped on the back or if it's actually sitting in a cutout hole on the back of the case.
I ordered one of the spigen kickstand cases but I haven't received it yet, they've been backordered according to there site, mine shipped today, so I'll check how they attached them, and reply with those results when I get my case.
I just got mine today. I think it's pretty thin. As for the kickstand, it's definitely glued on to the hard back and not dropped into a cut out. The stand is fairly flat, about as thick as 1.5 quarters. I don't feel it when holding the phone because my hand is a little bit cupped. The top and bottom of the case is raised a little so the screen doesnt touch the surfacce when laid face down. So far I like the case. For 11.99 shipped, i think its a great deal.
Thank you. That's what i was afraid of. The VRS kick stand is in a cutout so the stand is very low profile. But the bumper is thick. Probably a good 3mm all the way around. That is why im looking at the spigen one.
Here are some pictures of how the case looks like when it's on the phone. I also put a quarter side by side with the kickstand to show the thickness of it and a picture of how it looks when the phone is lying on its back.
Thanks for the pictures! Here is the VRS one.

These guys make the best cases in my opinion ( their wireless charger is great too) and I went with the one with the built in card holder is 50% off:

Thanks but a bit pricey. I think for now I will stick with my VRS. Looks like it's the best option for case with kickstand. Thanks everyone for all your input!

I ended up getting the Ultra hybrid case without the kickstand and adding the kickstand myself. On amazon, you are able to add the kickstand for free if you purchase the spigen case. It made it nice since I had the option where to place the kickstand. The case was 9.99 when i bought it w/prime shipping. The raised bump from the kickstand doesn't cause any issues with me and is actually nice to have when holding the phone I have found.
How do you add it to a 3rd parry case. Does not stick on? Is it removable / moveable?

How did you do that? I prefer to add it myself too so I can put it higher. Don't want it to interfere with my wireless charger.
Update :
So I just add both to cart and when checking out it gave me $9.99 discount. Cool. Thanks for the tip!

No problem. Concerns about wireless charging and my car mount were the reasons I wanted to do it myself as well.

You can at it to a third party case or even the phone directly if you buy it separately on amazon or directly from spigen. It is not movable once mounted though so make sure you know where you want it before sticking it on.

I may mod the case and drill a hole for the kickstand so it will be more flushed. [emoji16]

I got the Galaxy Note 7 Case, Spigen® [Crystal Hybrid] Metal Kickstand [Metal Slate] Clear TPU / PC Frame Slim Dual Layer Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 7 (2016) - 562CS20386
that actually has tje kickstand sitting in a cutout of the tpu back. I didnt want the metal scratching my n7 so I cut a little liner from the original back plastic and covered the kickstand on inside.

Sorry its on my phone with a wet apply screen protector and I'm not moving it, its not pushing up my case atm. But if you hit up spigens site or amazon.ca you can see it ... the kickstand is the thickest part.
I can't post links yet.
Also I must say the black case on silver looks awesome. The floating effect is nice plus I allready had black magnetic plates for my car mount and they match the case .

Got the spigen and separate kickstand but I did not like the spigen case as the sides tapered into a point at the center. See attached image. So this makes it a bit weird to hold since it isn't flat or rounded off.
So I ended up buying the ringke fusion. Much better case. And I have cut a hole in it for the spigen kickstand. Having the kickstand at the center is much better. I can tap on the top left or right corners and does not tip over. Unlike the VRS with the kickstand on the bottom. My mod is more flushed so it doesn't interfere with the fast wireless charger.
Here's a close up of the ringke. No sharp edge.
Here is my mod which I need to redo as my dremmel slipped and scratched the case.
