Alcantara Caae - Samsung Galaxy Note 9 Accessories

Samsung used to make an Alcantara case that was simply amazing. I did find this case anywhere for the Note9. Does anyone know if they exist or have officially been cancelled?

Or have ideas for good options. Price is not an issue

i miss them to and the hyperknit versions from the s9 , think theyve been cancelled , hoping we see a 3rd party luxury option

I have seen Simply Carbon Fiber sell a mostly Alcantara case, just haven't ordered it yet

Nexus 4 Cases - UK

Theres nothing around!! They're just sleeves lol! :crying: Anybody know off any good cases that are out in the UK to use meanwhile. So far the options are bad, and I don't want to use a naked phone lol.
Hardly anything in the UK.
I'm waiting for the S gel cases to appear, it's bound to happen before one from China would arrive for me.
In the mean time I guess I'll just keep it in a sock/pouch type thing I have lying around.
Mobilefun are showing 3 dedicated cases , but these are NOT released yet , probably be soon though.
They have the genuine Nexus 4 bumper and 2 FlexiShield Skin cases here:-
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/cat/Nexus-4-Cases.htm
Luckily it's almost the exact same size as the GNex so slides nicely into my old PDair case, might get a bumper but I'd like to see one first
Better off going online to find a case. High st retailers have a bad selection of cases.
There is a an s case available from in the UK now http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/TPU-Case-Cover-Nexus-4-LG-E960-/121022906472?var= they also have some 3 ply screen protectors. I had ordered an s vase from China but have got one of these coming now

lol! I posted about this case myself a few days ago. Thanks anyway
Flexishield
I need something until the official bumper turns up (damn! this phone is slippery) so I've ordered the black Flexishield from Mobilefun and will report back with my opinion.
S-Line case is very nice for the N4. Very grippy and looks good too. However, if you're buying this expecting it to prevent scratches on the back, don't. I have 3 or 4 fine scratches at the top of the rear glass after taking the phone out of the case. I'm sure it would help with shattering if it fell, but it seems to have caused a few scratches on the back :/ They're only visible at a certain angle but there are quite a few of them.
Nevertheless, they're just fine scratches and definitely nothing to cry about. I'm going to continue using the case!
I got my S line case a couple of days ago, for 99p including delivery to (and from) the UK - it was 2 days, it's rather great! Grippy, comfortable, not bulky and not scratching the phone either.

I have the Bumper on order but am getting by with an S- line case and a pouch. I'm preferring the pouch though as the S- line, although grippy, feels woefully cheap.

Ionic Guardian + Spigen screen prot.
Well we (in the UK) can pre-order the ionic guardian ... which I think I'm going to do so my phone can hopefully take a few knocks (shame about no otterbox) ... and combine it with the spigen screen protector, just can't choose between oleophobic and ultra crystal ....
Edit: I can't post links but if you chcek amazon (uk) they are on there...
Anyone got a better/more protective set up that we can get here? .... I'm guessing there'll be a new wave of people in the UK looking into cases now that we were able to order again today (I luckily managed to get in on the 1-2 weeks but aren't counting my chickens till I get a shipping email)

Just read some feedback on sellers ID and people are happy with it, Quality looks good. Also watched videos on youtube about Nillkin Matte Hard Cover and its positive so going to order for my nexus4 which i will get 1-2 weeks.
This is pretty ridiculous now...I ordered a bumper on 13th November!! Over 3 weeks later and it's still pending...Google Play support phone operators don't have any useful information about it...has anyone here gotten one of these yet from Google UK??

Beware of UAG Fakes

I've been researching buying the Outland for my S4 and I was reading their site, I found the bold portion most interesting as I was going to buy from Amazon. This is just FYI for all of you considering purchasing.
Urban Armor Gear only endorses Amazon.com stores that state “Ships from and sold by Amazon.com”.Other legitimate resellers on Amazon may exist, but Urban Armor Gear can not guarantee their authenticity.
Any products sold on eBay or Craigslist are always questionable.
Avoid any products shipping to you from outside the United States (especially China or Taiwan).
If the product you see is not available on this site or the pricing seems too good to be true, then it is most likely a fake.
If you spot a fake, please report it to our customer service department using the form below.
i recently found that the "look-a-like" UAG cases are on par quality wise;
so why not save some money ?

You kidding me, right? If you referring to Obliq stuff, that has been reviewed by others on this forum as far inferior to UAG. I understand saying "buy another brand which offers a similar protection for less money", but to support another company that copied the design just to save a few bucks? I don't know.

Sorry bud. .but i have both. ..uag and obliq and i tell you that obliq is as good as. If it is inferior it is not buy much.
Obliq is even better if you consider the buttons.... way softer than uag.
Uag corners are stronger cause they are thicker.
So you guys can say what ever you want about it. ..but i have both and saw for myself.

The user pictures on amazon of the Obliq look like a dollar store case, is it really not?. I just don't know if I could bring myself to do it. I think if it were between the Obliq and the Acase Superleggera, it would be Acase hands down.
I created a topic in here about the obliq case with some pictures... take a look. It looks really good. .. several people who saw my case and my uag agreed that obliq looks better.
I know that uag offers a better protection. .. but not by much.
Sent from my GT-I9505 using xda premium
Buy the UAG, I saw some on Amazon for like $29 but why risk getting a fake when the real one is just a few dollars more. Uag is a great case, which is why you are seeing these similar cases popping out. Can't say how good the obliq is since I don't own one but seems to be a decent case for the price
Sent from Flip's Galaxy S4
I believe on this one they are both made in China. Spigen is made in Korea I believe whereas the fakes come from China as well.
In general, if you have the money, I would support the case manufacturers that support your device. This encourages them to create newer and better products in the future.
Take it personal for a moment. What would you do if you spent all this time on a product and then someone just ripped it off to the point where you weren't making money?

Motorola X Play Case Availability

Has anyone else has trouble buying a case? I've found multiple sellers on both Amazon and eBay, but they all have the same problem. The shipping for the case is delayed by about 2 weeks+. Most of the delivery estimates tell me it will deliver to me by September 16- October 4. Kind of bummed about this since I just bought my phone yesterday, and would like to use it with a case.
For reference I live in Canada, but when I try to find a case for almost any other phone you can get it fast. I know the phone hasn't been out very long, but it's already been a few weeks, if I'm not mistaken.
I think it depends on how well the phone had been leaked / shown previous to launch.
I don't think many were expecting a x play so perhaps they didn't show it to case companies.
Annoying.
I have a case and screen protector on order and won't be using until I get them.
Sent from my LG-D802 using XDA Free mobile app
I know the feeling! I was actually considering the Cruzerlite bugdroid case until I saw the crazy delivery times.
I ended up going with the Motorola flip cover for now. $40 at Bell, $45 everywhere else
For anyone wondering I got a sleo slimline case which came really quick from Amazon.

Reallly frustratingly i got my amazon order cancelled by i-BlasonEU due to 'stock issues' on the day my case was supposed to be dispatched!!! I went for the Supcase Unicorn Beetle in Black/Black http://www.amazon.co.uk/SUPCASE-Uni...w_p_img_2?ie=UTF8&refRID=0EXFJ2YRVVF5WRKZE2AQ . Even more frustrating is the fact that the frost/black version is available for prime AND cheaper!

Very nice
When I bought it at the end of August, there was no OtterBox case available. It was important for me to have some kind of protection because I dropped my last phone often. Instead of the OtterBox, I got a slim silicon case and a screen protector, which protect against impact.
Have you tried Telus or Koodo? at my Friends telus they had a case for our phone.

Both Telus and Koodo have cases. The screen protectors are $15 (for the 2 pack no warranty), $35 for the single with warranty. I forgot how much the cases were, but they did have the one where you replace the back cover with the flip one (with the credit card slot on it).
But when I spoke to someone at Koodo, they said that the colored backs were online only. At least that's what the Moto rep told him.
Bell has the flip cover with the card slot for $40 (Telus & Koodo charge $45). They also have a little gel case for $20 but I wouldn't get it (buttons are way too hard to press)
For those wondering what the official flip cover looks like, here's the Teal version. The pattern is the same as the standard back cover, but feels more "grippy."
There are new cases from Incipio available:

Interesting Note 9 Cases NOT Available on Amazon

I wanted to see if I could get some of us to share all the interesting Note 9 cases that are NOT available on Amazon. Typically, I stick with Amazon for basically all my accessory needs for various things because of Prime and its convenience. Especially when it comes to returns. The customer support is spot on, at least in my experience. But I wonder if there's other outlets that have some interesting-looking options for cases for our Note 9 that may be worth checking out.
Every now and then I'll see some ads coming across my IG feed showcasing some N9 cases that I've never seen before. I don't know how legit these places are, so I've never visited the sites. I've seen basically every case available for the N9 on Amazon so now I want to do some exploring outside. Maybe some of y'all have taken a chance with a new outlet and come from it satisfied? Please share.
I tried (and returned) a case from Simply Carbon Fiber (SCF). The carbon fiber looked nice, but I wanted something substantial. The return policy wasn't concise and I had to fight to get my money back... they shorted me $8 when they were only supposed to withhold $3 (a restocking fee). I contacted PayPal (I used PP when I bought the case) to get $5 back. PayPal sided with me and I ended up getting $8 back instead of the $5 I was seeking
At my time of purchase, the UAG Monarch case wasn't on Amazon. It was at Best Buy (red and black) but I wanted black and I had to buy it from the UAG site.

It is transparent, has raised corners, so protects the screen somewhat as well. Does not add to much thickness also.

If you are in the US, call your local T-Mobile store and see what cases they have. That is probably the fastest way to get one right now. Most stores seem to have gotten some in. I got the tech21 evo clear but my store had the otterbox and soap bubble.
T-mobile has them listed on their website. Some of these like the tech21 aren't even listed on their own website.

I finally was told that uag specifically doesn't want their cases re-sold by 4rd parties and they want only sell direct to keep prices down
All of that to say I like uag even before I knew that. And I will always recommend a uag case
