Are there any genuine completely carbon fiber cases for the Note 8?

[oarenj]

I have found a few on eBay from china for the S8 and i see that SCF has a Note 8 one listed but only one view and it appears to be CF and aTPU. I would liek to have something that is only CF.

Anybody seen any?

Check out Pitaka carbon fiber case for Note 8. They just launched it yesterday. Amazing company and products.

If you're feeling up to it I'd like to hear your thoughts on the case. It's a sexy beast for sure although the protection is almost non-existent.

will check pitaka too

I am using a Spigen Neo Hybrid so I am expecting the same/similar protection from this case. I will be more than happy to do a review once it arrives. I am a car guy so this case was right up my alley, I also liked the addition of the metal plates for magnet mounting that don't interfere with normal activity.

Would the embedded metal plate block wireless charging/tap&pay?

It looks like the Pitaka carbon fiber case for Note 8 has the plate embedded and probably would restrict the functionality of the device.

If you read through the site the metal is implemented in such a way that it does not interfere with wireless charging or NFC. I don't know if that means it is woven in somehow or offset to where the charging coil is, nor do I have one to try myself - Just regurgitating what I read.

 

[krabman]

There are two magnets with a gap between that locate the phone so that the gap is centered over the coil to allow for charging, they've got a blow out of it on their site. I'm thinking it would work on most wireless charging pads so long as the phone was placed correctly. oarenj should set us straight soon.
