I have read through all the older case threads pertaining to real leather style cases, most of which haven't been updated in over a month. Anyone come across something awesome? My Note comes this weekend. 
Real Leather Folding/Wallet Style Case - UPDATES?
- Thread starter thatdudebutch
- Start date
I loved the Spigen but I was looking for a Brown color in between the tan and the brown that is available. May get that one as well if I strike out. Thanks for sharing bro.
This one is great build quality, but as I noticed in the other threads the leather is lighter and all that stuff on the front kind of kills it for me.

Have people debunked the magnet thing? Is it an issue or just fearmongering? LOL.

It has a magnet so it is a no go

So it is a real issue huh? Good to know. I am looking for a good dark brown leather, a easy open clasp system, and spots for cards/cash.
This one is epic for the iPhone, http://store.apple.com/us/product/H...-4s?afid=p228|Google&cid=AOS-US-SHOPIP-Google
Damn they thought of everything on this case. http://www.spider-foot.com/100-genu...ung-galaxy-note-n7000-i9220-i92rb-p-1139.html
Just if color and build quality was better.

Take a look at Easecase on Ebay. They make superb leather custom cases. You choose the colour,leather texture, closure option,engraving etc ,etc.
I purchased a wallet type case for my GS2 and it is amazing. Do a search for them on this site and you will find various reviews

Awesome! Thanks.
EDIT: Have to take it out of case to snap a pic. Deal breaker I guess. ;/
Bah, been pouring over cases since after lunch and still no closer to finding one. Feel free to post my friends.
Sorry should have stated that there are two versions of the case
1. E4- this has the slots for credit cards and you don't need to remove phone to snap photos - I've got this one

2. E5- as above model with additional bit for dollar bills etc

As I love colour....my case has the purple cowhide outer and the inner is red cowhide. It has a lovely texture and the workmanship is outstanding

This is the case I use:
http://www.spigen.com/spigen-sgp-sa...case-valentinus-series-vintage-edition-1.html
It has a very easy "snap in" to it so I can quickly pull out my phone to dock in my car or talk on it like a phone. But for the most part, my Note lives inside my wallet

I am thinking of buying this. But this text from their site worries me
** Phone must be removed from the left side plastic casing. Do not remove from right side as the leather may tear away from the plastic casing.**
Sounds fragile

I have the first one in your listing and can confirm it is not real leather. The fitting is perfect and the it is a beautiful case. However, it doesn't hold credit card or cash too well.
There isn't sufficient space between the front cover and Note's screen, so you will have a hard time close the flip after occupy the credit card slots or placed your cash.
The case is made from not so durable material. I would expect the PU surface to deteriore after a few months.
Yes, Faux Leather. Not sure why the SGP site lists is a genuine leather. I have mine filled with CCs, drivers license, a key card, cash, and some business cards. Closes and snaps fine.

Looking at it, I think the plastic part that holds the Note is just glued to the wallet part. I found that a quick bend on the lower left corner will pop my phone right out to quickly answer a call or throw into my car dock.
Thanks for the awesome info. What kind of closure did you pick? Can you realistically hold bills and cards in there? Does the one you have contain a spot for bills behind the credit card area or is that just a seam?
My E4 case for the GS2 has three slits for credit cards, there is also a small inner pocket where you could put a few bills. The E4 for the Note has five slits for credit cards and should have the same inner pocket (behind credit card slits) It has the inserted closure.
I must point out the Easecase will answer any questions regarding further info/options/customizing - this really impressed me. They provided me with photos of colour options and engravement placement.
Before I got my Easecase, I used a Melkco flipcase which I loved. Unfortunately I dropped my phone this resulted in having two ugly dents in it. After that ....I was determined to get a case with full protection. I didn't really purchase it for the wallet aspect, as I use my purse and handbag for that.
All future phones will be lovingly encased in Easecase LoL

I cant recommend it enough, on all previous phones i would never dream of getting a flip case because they were just not for me i have always gone for Case-Mate Tough for full protection.
Anyway check where you are with your Network to see if you are eligible for a free flip case, they are great quality. I have a white Note and they sent me an orange case, didn't like the colour at first but now its nice.
