Right now the brown one is in no shop I checked....
But it must be coming...
I can't believe they're using Engrish at CES. "Flip Corver".

Ha Ha, just noticed that
No wonder we couldn't find the brown one...it was undercorver.
Wonder if the elusive white 32Gig was at CES, probably have to look for vite 32big
Hey, anyone know why every case I've got for the Note comes with these two little holes on the back which are/would be for something like an inch or so away and to the right of the rear speaker?

For attaching a lanyard/wrist strap. Or your hello kitty charm.
Yay! More (free?) cases that fall apart after two weeks! Paid $45 for mine on eBay. It's great but the edge of the flip is coming apart already.
If they are free, go nuts. If you have to buy one, run in the opposite direction.

Surprised it wasn't "fip carver"
I kid, I kid...
Herroooow would the brown one be leather fabric? Would be really cool.
Maybe some aftermarket one will show up in a few weeks/months.
Would love to have a brown cover....but cant find it anywhere except for the black ones!!

There are some flip cover knock offs for the galaxy note being sold in ebay so beware. The original flip cover replaces the back cover of the note while the knock offs are just placed over the back covers. I've had mine for about a month, but have yet to see leather peeling off.

Mine was 100% authentic, back plate and "not for resell" sticker and all. Made in Korea, etc.
It's junk and I'm not the first to have it falling apart this soon either...

ive never seen plastic shatter like that. lol. not as dramatic.
Hopefully you had insurance.

Yeah it sucks. I have insurance, but i'm guessing because the phone is so new, I made a claim but I have to fax them information and do all this extra stuff. I never had to do this when I made a claim with the TP2.
Ouch, I'm known to do that sometimes leave me phone on my lap and get up out the car. Luckily I normally have some full body protection and a screen guard on my phone.
Looks like it still works though.
yeah I have a screen protector coming, will get here today (a bit too late lol). I am looking for a case, im picky when it comes to those. Not much out right now other than a limited ebay picking and the one from verizon. Which I just now found out they make in a clear color, looks like I will have one for my replacement...
I have the body glove and zagg screen, and as sad as this is to say I have actually drooped mine twice and you can't even tell. It still looks fresh outta the box. Good luck with the replacement to from what I've heard VZW is still sold out.

sorry to say, but i dont think ur the first casualty.
also insurance ftw.
I bought the silicone cover from Verizon, I have not dropped my phone yet hopefully it protects the phone if I drop it.
Hopefully Otterbox will make one for this phone like the one for the iphone.
dropped my x10 and nothing happened. wouldn't wanna try it with my incredible now

Well i completed the claims and it already gave me a tracking number and guaranteed my replacement will be here on the 7th.
So... I don't know why this is happening, but one thing I am noticing from numerous review or information sites is that some are mentioning the metallic grey backing being, well, metal. Therefore, sacrificing a tiny bit of weight for feel and sturdiness.
Is this true? If so, anyone know the difference in weight? I don't mind a little extra heft for more peace of mind.
This is the one I ordered... It looks like it's got the metallic back.

Figured! I'm fine with that if it's not bendy.
If you look at the pics from the one I ordered it doesn't look like the matte grey in other pics.. Could there be a difference?

Could just be a texture.
Whatever it is, it looks better than the white!
white just seems too apple like.
the back doesn't matter if you get a case right? I got mine from amazon and think I got gray but am not sure

Got yours from where?
Tiger Direct apparently. I'm actually going to have to return my Amazon one when the Newegg one arrives. I have to use the $500 credit they're giving me.
Yep TigerDirect. It may have been sent on accident. It was probably already packed and set to the side to go out on friday, and someone kicked it over to the today pile.
So... what do you think?! Worthy investment? Any gripes?!
So far.. Worth every penny.

That's awesome that you got it early. I should have never pre-ordered from Best Buy.com. HardLessonLearned.com
Okay where do I find the broken screen info?
And how do I tell if the digitizer needs replacing?
Really, no link or help?

The top 1/3 to 1/2 of the screen does not work anymore. The area above the cracks.
I was able to rotate the screen enough to do a TB and naneroid backup.
What parts do I need and how much should I pay for said parts?
Nexus 7 (not 2013) 8gig wifi.
Thanks.

You'll need to buy Glass+Digitizer and tools (few ebay china sellers give tools for free).
Will cost around 65$. I have replaced mine with help of a youtube video.

I believe your frame isnt cracked. If its cracked you have to get that too.
without frame and with tools to fix (http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-Asus-Go...ablet_eReader_Accessories&hash=item2c75959e1e)
Thank you.
This is what I suspected, but like to get confirmation before jumping in.

ebay.com from a China seller....
I was looking at the holes on my case and enlarging some that were not in proper position when I noticed that the actual speaker under the backplate on the note 4 is about 4 times as big as the hole in the backplate. I took my dremel and enlarged the size of the hole on backplate to match the entire size of speaker and WOW, phone is very loud now. Also enlarged hole on case and now have max volume possible.
Odd that they covered up so much of the speaker with the backplate.

Pictures please?
+1 pics please
Never noticed this before

You're right! There's definitely a big portion of the speaker that's covered up.
I can perceive a slight difference with the cover, but I'm not sure if it's enough
for me to to put the work in to enlarge and risk issues with selling it later.
Here is a pic.

Damn your poor phone. I think drilling multiple holes would not only be affective but it would also look nice.
Exactly with a 1/16 bit
Mine is always in a case and nobody ever sees the back. I will just get another back if I ever sell it. My phones usually get handed down to family lol.
I kind of want someone to make a custom back for this, and sell them on ebay. would be cool, maybe even make "custom" cases that can be used with the custom backs
Dang.. looks like you went overboard bro lol. You even went outside of the area where the grille lies. But nonetheless. Great idea..just needs implementation refinement. BUT, thats why we are here!!!

Let's give the guy some credit for recognizing this and proposing a solution.:good:
Maybe the execution was a bit of a hack job. but still. good effort
@golfinglenn you're so right and thank you for pointing it out! WHY would they cover up the majority of the speaker???? It makes no sense whatsoever!
The more exposed the greater the chance of liquid damage.
I popped the back plate on and off while playing a video. Personally, I feel the sound is a bit clearer, but only just a hair louder. I don't use the speakers enough to justify making a huge hole in the back though.
Try some ringtones with back on and off. That's where I noticed that big difference.

Seems kinda neat. Ordered the case because it was only $5 more. Liked the grip case on my previous phone. Not the cheapest option, but i've not see knockoff skins around for cheaper.

That looks pretty cool. It certainly would make your phone look different.
Looks really interesting, I will give it a thought
I have one coming in the next week or so, I'll post my thoughts and what i think of the skin when it arrives.
This also happens to be my first DBrand skin as well.
Pretty sick but I cant justify 25.00 for it
I ordered this for my pixel 4xl only to find out they put a jeffery epstein reference on it. I will be sending that order back when I receive it.

Got mine Thursday!
I opted for the case and skin.
Got my case and skin the other day. Installed the skin like the installation video showed and it looked good. Two days later the skin developed several bubbles that I can't get rid of. Not terribly impressed right now. I sent email to Dbrand and will wait and see if they can help me.
Maybe try to heat it up lift it up carefully and reapply. Then reapply heat and smooth it down once more
Dbrand has been really great. I explained my problem with the bubbles forming and they suggested a couple possible remedies. When the suggestions failed to correct the problem they sent me a replacement skin. No hassles no grief they just stepped up and helped me out. I'm impressed. Thanks Dbrand.

That reference would be the only reason to buy it! Don't hate cause it is true!
Grrr..Longer available.. I really like their cases in general. Added myself to the waiting list but it says they may not return...
