The included hand strap allows you to place the Galaxy Note 8 in your hand whilst keeping it secure with an elastic strap, perfect for sales people and the business environment and anyone who just wants a bit of security carrying their Note 8.0 around with them.

The case is from the well known manufacturer TabletWare SD and we found the build quality to be excellent.

You can buy this case over at GearZap for £17.99 making the Galaxy Note 8.0 Stand & Type an affordable case for this size of device.

The HTC One has always suffered a bit from it’s very shiny back that makes it hard to hold dependably without risk of it slipping through your fingers. With the ArmourDillo Hybrid Protective Case you have extra grip points around the sides and a lip around the screen that will help to prevent face-plants.

Most of the port holes are milled out well however I would of liked to see a bit more space given to the camera optics there’s a danger of fringing on one side due to some light being blocked at certain angles. This is a minor complaint though and would only become apparent under specific conditions.

This case would be ideal for anyone who wants to keep their HTC One safe and have some added fun with the kickstand making movie and Youtube watching so much more enjoyable.

The plastic cover does mean that the chance of taking a nasty knock increases quite considerably. So, with something like the FlexiShield Galaxy S4 cases the idea is it’s flexible but hard-wearing.

So when you pop this on your device and if you happen to drop it or it takes a knock it’s the FlexiShield that is going to take the brunt of the force and not your back cover or the sides of the S4.

It does work quite nicely, more importantly when they’ve milled the ports out they have left plenty of room around all of these various port holes so if you’re using either non-standard cables or if it’s your camera or your speaker grille the case isn’t interfering. With the camera especially it’s not blocking any light around the outside and it’s not obscuring the LED flash either.

On the bottom you can see that it’s leaving plenty of space for your micro usb so if you happen to be using a third party usb cable maybe it’s got a slightly bulkier end to it, it’s not going to interfere and it will still go in quite neatly.

On the front of the case, and one of the reasons I like these gel cases so much is this lip. If the device happens to fall on its face, the actual screen isn’t going to take the hit on the desk, or on the floor.

The covering around the outside, the lip, will take the brunt of the force.

Obviously, if you take a trauma directly onto this screen something that’s slightly raised up, then I’m afraid this case is not going to protect you but to protect the back of your case and the sides, to prevent that face plant from occurring then the gel case is absolutely fantastic and one thing I really like about the FlexiShield is how hard-wearing it actually is.

Having that additional skin on there really makes a big difference.

To help you choose the best protection for your Samsung Galaxy S4 check out our round-up of some of the best Galaxy S4 cases on the market today.

Galaxy S4 Flip Cover

If you owned the Galaxy S3, or the Note 2, you will be familiar with Samsung’s standard Flip Cover. This clever case replaces your battery cover and offers a hard front face that flips across your screen to protect it from bumps and knocks.

Consider this the gold standard in cover safety. Available in black or white.

Galaxy S4 S View Cover

New to the Galaxy S4 is a case that you will wonder why they aren’t all like this. It features a cutout on the front of the case and a small magnet.

The S View Cover allows you to see notifications and answer calls, all without having to open up the case to look at the full screen. The magnet wakes or sleeps the S4 automatically when the cover is used.

There’s something very cool about receiving a phone call with the S View Cover. Reject or answer with just a swipe on the touch sensitive S View panel without ever opening the cover. Awesome! Available in black or white.

Galaxy S4 FlexiShield

The FlexiShield Galaxy S4 case is a great third party case for users who don’t want their screen covered at all with a flip cover.

The meta-material of this case is like a hard gel, flexible yet tough, encasing the rear of the device and offering a small lip around the front of the screen.

The FlexiShield will help protect against knocks and drops, although a direct hit to the screen will still be a possibility with this case. Maybe invest in a toughed screen protector when using a FlexiShield. Available in many different colours.

There you have three awesome cases for the Galaxy S4 have you spotted a great case? Let us know in the comments.

The FlexiShield is a gel type material that is very hard wearing and tough to boot. It snaps around the Galaxy S4 rear and with a slight over lip for the screen will prevent face plants and knocks doing any damage.

This is very similar to the Galaxy Note 2 case we reviewed a few months ago and came away impressed.

We will have a full review of the case along with a Galaxy S4 just after launch.. hope you enjoy this early look.

When it comes to cases, the leather case is probably the best one to get for various reasons. There is nothing in the world that is more durable for what it’s supposed to do. Your Galaxy Note 2 deserves to have the best protection. It is, after all, a great device where just about everything in your daily life can be done. That is worth protecting. In thinking about the leather case, you have to consider two things, style and substance.

Style

How much does style really count? Well, as cool as the Galaxy Note 2 is, it’s pretty important. In fact, it really counts when it comes to using it on a daily basis. You want style and quality, both of which you can easily have with a leather case. With the larger display (5.5-inches), fast processing, Jelly Bean, and the effective 4G, this phone is the epitome of style. As such, it only makes sense to have a case that goes with it.

In that regard, consider customizing it. Leather is easy to customize, but it also looks better. Choose a color that mixes with your personality. Then, pick a design that matches your personality and then some. There is truly no shortage when it comes to case styles. Everybody’s personality is different.

Your style is seen by a lot of people, not just the people at your home. In regards to it, style makes a big difference as far as your personality goes.

Substance

The most obvious of the two, substance is important because you want the quality of it. Leather is an all-protective case that has withstood the test of time – and a whole lot of testing. You see, one of the early fears about leather cases was that leather keeps the heat in, burning up the phone. Perhaps the main reason for that ideology is that their leather couch at home does that. (Even though most leather couches are probably pleather.)

This, however, is simply not the truth. Leather is breathable and strong at the same time. With that, the case should cover the important parts of the phone. The “mainframe”, or the electronic center of the phone, doesn’t overheat and when or if it hits the ground it doesn’t shatter. The Galaxy Note 2 leather case should be fittable and protective of the parts that it covers.

That leads to the type of leather cases there are. You have the back cover case and you have the flip case which is something that protects the whole phone. You want assurance that whatever you have is going to fully protect the phone from our carelessness – or other people’s carelessness.

Customize It

People have a tendency to better take care of things when it’s customized. It’s not something I made up. Researchers have figured this out awhile back. It is true, though. Any chance you can get to keep your Galaxy Note 2 for longer, you should probably take. Your bank account is probably haemorrhaging with all the changes to your Note 2.

For you investor-types, you always want to maximize the value of whatever it is you’re buying. That makes sense, given the way the economy works. You reach that return on a Galaxy Note 2 fairly quickly – and you can further extend that investment with a Galaxy Note 2 leather case.

The longer you have something the better in value it gets. Rest assured that it will work out for you. If you have any doubts, give it a try and see for yourself.

Not only can it keep your Galaxy S3 safe and secure but it has a convenient place to store all your business or credit cards right along side your S3.

The faux leather feel is excellent and I always like to get away from the boring black and white or brown cases.

All the ports are well milled on this wallet case so you wont have any problems plugging in headphones or your USB connector. The Volume rocker on the side can be a bit more difficult to hit due to the spine of the case but it##Q##s not a deal breaker.

You can get this and other Samsung Galaxy S3 cases from GearZap.

The idea is to seal your Galaxy note 2 in a water proof skin that is ideal for holidays or adventurous types who need their phone but don##Q##t want water damage.

You have to push the Note 2 into the Winner Waterproof Skin its a tight fit but the skin is stretchy and strong so unlikely to tear as you put it in.

You get two skins in each pack and a set of moisture indicators you can place on the back of the phone so you know if you have sprung a leak and can reskin it.

I was really impressed with the way the skin works allowing you to continue to access all the features of the phone while it##Q##s sealed up safe.

You can use each skin twice before it may become unsafe for reuse making this a cost effective option for those on holiday or in the great outdoors.
