First, the good. It holds the phone fairly loosely so it's easy to take it out. It holds 3 cards plus cash easily and there are gaps for speaker, camera, s pen etc. The case doesn't easily fold back on itself but you can take calls with the case shut with no loss of sound at either end.
Now the bad. It's not as good quality as I'd expected. For £35, I expected real leather. With 3 cards in, there's a noticeable bulge at the top of the case. As it's fairly loose fitting, my phone has slipped out a couple of times.
In summary, it's a decent case and does what it says on the tin. But, it doesn't look or feel particularly classy given the price.

Samsung Galaxy note

fits perfect
This case fits the Galaxy note perfectly, and there is access to all side buttons, camera etc.
There is also room to carry one or two credit cards, or a little paper money if the phone is all you want to carry as there are small slots on the inside cover for this purpose, which i have used.
My only preferance would have been a magnetic clasp to the case fastening instead of the press stud fastener. I sometimes feel if i put too much pressure on the clasp when fastening i might crack the glass, it is a good sturdy case so i doubt this would happen. This may just be a personal thing, as my previous case had a magnetic clasp.
I have rated 4 stars only because of my preferance for a magnetic fastening, but i was aware when i purchased that it was press stud.

TOP QUALITY CASE FOR GALAXY NOTE 2
Apart from - in my view - one minor flaw, the quality of design and manufacture of this case is faultless. The one thing I am not keen on is the card pockets in the inner lining: they leave an imprint in the screen. I would never use such a case to carry cards in and I think it would be better to finish the inside of the case in a soft material to protect the screen. Otherwise I can't fault the product - it actually makes an attractive PDAPhone look even better.
