Quality is top notch.
1st, The leather is real full grain leather, and it works with wireless charger
2nd, The magnetic clip design on this case is much better than my last one.
3rd, very snug fit TPU holder provides great drop protection.
It's very discrete an allows the case to slide into my pocket much more freely without hanging up on the closure, a big plus for me. I'll definitely look for IPulse when I change phones again.

Has anyone tried using the Seido holster with a adhesive skin like the Bodyguards or Invisible shield coating? I assume the skin is very thin but then the holster may be very tight and may not allow even the slightest addition in size (0.2 mm per Invisible shield website).

Sediosedio, can you comment on the holster if it will allow the 0.2mm?
Thanks
FYI, it does.
Just to let you know I wanted to do this exact same setup.
The good news is it does fit... the bad news is that you may be unhappy with the invisible shield.
Do a seach for my posts there is one recently describing my experience with the shield. Long story short, it doesn't cover much of the device (hardly nothing on the sides) and it doesn't really give a nice clean look when installed (unless you have access to a cleanroom with 0% dust particles in the air).
It would have been nice if it did work, as protecting the back of the phone from scratches would have been nice (as that area is exposed in the holster). Also the constant moving in and out of the holster MAY rub against the top part of the phone and cause the shield to slowly peel off...on the flip side it may be lessening wear on the phone case itself.
I am sending mine back via money-back guarantee today and have already ordered the Seido rubberized case. Unfortunately their standard holster does NOT work with their case (it is 1mm thick) so I had to order the combo to get the specialized holster too.
So, I have an extra holster for an uncased phone....if anyone wants to buy it...
I have the Invisible shield and the Seidio rubberized case. Both fits together well.
I went with the rather expensive invisible shield since I know their products and simply licked it for the apple stuff which is lying around at home.
I wasn't able to find anyone else using this case so I figured I'd give it a shot to see if it's any good. Seidio seems to make very good products and this case is right up there with the rest in quality and protection.
Assembly:
It's a 2 part case, one half slides down from the top of the phone and the other half slides on from the bottom. Both halves lock together on the sides and on the back. It's very easy to put on and take off.
Fit:
The case fits PERFECT on the phone. If you have the invisible shield on your phone it will NOT fit. The inside of the case has a felt lining to protect the finish on the phone. You won't feel like your going to scratch your phone when you take the case on or off. The case also wraps around to the front so it's protecting every edge and corner.
Feel:
It's a "hard" case but flexible, as seidio says. The material isn't rubber but it's soft and does feel somewhat like it's rubber. I love how the phone feels, i'm not concerned about it slipping out of my hands at all.
Durability:
I've only had the case for about a week now and I haven't put it through any rigorous testing... I hope I never do. On the other hand my girlfriend pulled the sheets off of the bed really fast and there went my treo pro flying accross the room on to the carpet floor The phone is perfectly fine though so it passed it's first test.
All together I'd give the phone a 10/10 rating. At $30 + shipping some people would argue that it's too much. You get what you pay for sometimes and this case is certainly worth every penny.
Other notes:
You may want to invest in a screen protector as well. I went with the screen protector seidio offers and I like it a lot. It's only the size of the screen so it doesn't cover from the top down to the palm button. But it gets the job done very nicely.

Hey guys I just got the Evo and want to get one of those Skin covers that sticks to the whole phone without having a ton bulk. You guys have any preference on what works well and protects stuff well?
Edit:
Sorry but I see tons of posts on this so I am going to look through those, also see lots of posts about the camera lens cracking, is there a back that will protect my camera when I set it down.

Ringke is a new case... $17 free shipping.
I am currently trying it out.. and I have to say.. it is really great. worth it.
NOT same as the other soft covers that feel like crap and sticky and grab lint from your pockets.
the gray transparent cover does seem a little tight, so go with the other colors.
Seidio Innocase surface. Very little bulk and protects the camera when set down.
Sent from my EVO 3G!
meh, i got a silicone case, a car mount, and a car charger all for less than 16 bucks delivered from amazon.
my case cost somewhere between 1 penny and 3 pennies. it has a good grip to it, protects it from falls, and doesn't add much bulk. i actually like it because it's silicone, rather than plastic, and therefore slippage is minimal. handy if the phone is on a slick surface.
This FTMFW!

It doesnt have the rubbery feeling, so it goes in/out of your pocket like if it didnt have a cover.

that looks pretty good.
I highly recommend the Seidio Innocase II. It's rubberize plastic, thick enough to endure those brutal drops but thin and slick enough to slip into your pocket. Seidio also sells a belt clip that goes with its Innocase II. Highly recommend if you're carrying it with you to work.
As for one of those clear covers, I highly recommend Phantomskinz. I did a ton of research before committing myself to phantomskinz and found out that their protective screens are slightly thicker than most of the competition and they provide you with two sheets -just in case you mess up.
If you're interested in utilizing both (Sedio Innocase doesn't come with sheets), then I'd get the innocase and a front screen cover from phantomskinz. You don't want to buy the whole body cover from phantomskinz because the innocase II has pretty low tolerances when you try putting it on and realize that it wont fit.
I just bought the case mate barely there from newegg for $9.99 plus free shipping. It protects the back and sides but not the top or bottom. This case with my screen protector should hopefullly be enough protection for me without adding too much bulk.

that is crazy!!! big...
like a tank... ugly in my opinion.
great to have, if you think you are going to be in a rough area.. this is great. but not an every day cover.
I hate to add all that heft to my sexy thin device.
As a compliment to a good case, I ordered Stealthguards for all my phones. Work great and the screen protector is smooth.
Also....they are free. Just pay the $2.?? for s/h. Pretty darn good deal if you ask me. And, I took the cutout for the camera and put it over the lens so it doesn't ever get scratched.
EVO: http://www.stealthguards.com/index.php/popular/htc-evo-4g-full-body-protection.html
I'm a minimalist, so I went with the smallest possible case: Case Mate's Barely There
This is a very high quality case. Truly a skin tight fit. I've dropped the phone a few times and no damage.
Comes with a screen protector I gave to my buddy and he says it's great.
I paid retail (~$25 incl. shipping) but NewEgg has it for $10 shipped: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16875998756
Says OOS til Monday.
i used to think the body glove was the best and it was for the hero but for the evo it sucks. broke on me in 3 weeks time. i got fed up and went to my local mall and bought a matte black standard case and it looks and feels great. only $20 too. seems to even keep the dust out more.
Saw this on slick deals and jumped on it - here is my short review:
https://www.ebay.com/itm/Samsung-Ga...tector-/253474585472?var=&hash=item80acdc01c2
Screen protector is like an other "spray-on" protector. Great but it isn't glass. Good thing is that they give you two. The case is great, though. Clear and has great grip! Buttons feel easy to push and definitely a good lip around the phone. Reminds me of the Spigen I had on my S7E.
The Fast charger is OKAY, no adapter included but I think the bundle for $29.99, it isn't bad.
Overall, I'm happy, only thing I wish for was a kickstand on the case. I ended up getting a metal ring which doubles as a magnet for car mount but hate that it protrudes from the case.
Will probably wait for a battery case with a kickstand to grab later this year. Cheers!
I have purchased a lot (way too many) cases for my Note 10 + Aura Glow 5G and so I thought I would share my favorites, daily drivers, garbage, and disappointments.
[Amazon] Meifigno Magic Series - It's a foggy black slightly see through case with a soft smooth matte finish. It is a case I keep handy pretty much when I'm going to more formal work events as it somewhat hides the flashy Aura Glow but you can still see through it somewhat and it's extremely durable while still being fashionable. it's not a cheap TPU it's very well made. $15.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid - TPU on the sides yet very hard clear back to show the Aura Glow. This is my "go to the gym" case as it's got solid protection, is see through, and it feels solid in the hand w/ zero slip. $11.99
[Amazon] Design Skin Genuine Leather Phone Case and Card Holder for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus, with Elastic Hand Strap for Extra Grip - Black - This case I had VERY high hopes for but in the end this was my biggest disappointment. At $24.99 I expected something perfect w/ this hand strap but the sides were flimsy (think car mount side bending, and the metal bars on the back are so big that wireless charging was impossible for all of my various chargers.
[Amazon] Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Salawat Slim PU Leather Vintage Shockproof Phone Case Cover Lightweight Soft TPU Bumper Hard PC Hybrid Protective Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ 5G 6.8inch (Dark Brown) This case looks very nice but it's all for show. The fake leather will fool anyone looking at it however it's a bit odd to hold as the leather folds into the black edges which are then very sharp which constantly catches my skin. Good protection and I will use it from time to time But not often at all. $9.99
[Amazon] ESR Mimic Series Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, 9H Tempered-Glass Back Cover, Flexible TPU Bumper, Hybrid Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+/ 10 Plus /5G 6.8 inch (2019), Clear
Now this is a work of art. If you want the best looking case to show off your Aura Glow it's this one and will still give you solid protection. It actually has a 9H Tempered Glass back (finger print magnet but easy to wipe). It honestly doesn't get better than this. Great button feel too. This is my daily driver. $18.99
[Amazon] ESR Metal Kickstand Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Vertical and Horizontal Stand, Reinforced Drop Protection,Flexible TPU Case for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ / 10 Plus / 5G 6.8" (2019),Clear This is my primary travel case due to it's incredibly solid feel for great protection, it's clear, and the kick stand is the best I have ever used as you can use it in many different angles as well as in Portrait mode! Additionally the stand is placed in a spot that allows for wireless charging on all of my chargers. This is the heaviest case I use, but granted the kickstand is metal so it's worth it. The additional gripping area due to the stand make the phone feel solid in your hand more than any other case I have. This could easily be the only case someone could have and never think of getting another. $18.99
[Amazon] Spigen Ultra Hybrid S Designed for Samsung Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case/Galaxy Note 10 Plus 5G Case (2019) - Crystal Clear - I love Spigen cases, but this one was just hot garbage as you would buy it for the stand and the stand is crap. Move on. $11.99
[Amazon] Eonfine Galaxy Note 10+ Plus Case,Built-in Screen Protector Heavy Duty Shockproof Rugged Cover for Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ Plus/Note 10 Plus 5G (Black+Clear)(Fingerprint Unlock with Fingerprint Film) This case is OK and I will only use it when I'm traveling internationally to Mexico or somewhere where I know I'll be on a beach a lot or doing some sports. It's fingerprint friendly for unlocking. It's not a big winner but will do the trick. $16.99
[Amazon] ESR Essential Zero Compatible with Galaxy Note 10 Plus Case, Made with Slim, Clear, and Soft TPU, Flexible Silicone Case for The Samsung Galaxy Note 10+ - It's a TPU case, works just fine, I like it, and use it if I'm doing some gym workouts but it's not my 1st choice as I like the other ESR case w/ the hard back more for the gym. It's just a bit slimmer. $10.99
[Ebay] Hybrid Shockproof Armor Kickstand Case Cover, it's cheap, $8, ok for someone that just wants a kickstand case on the cheap. Looks ok, black gripy back.
[Ebay] Leather Removable Wallet Magnetic Case Cover - for $11.95 I was actually happy w/ this case as you can take the phone out of the wallet case due to the phone case portion being attached to it via magnets and the phone case portion w/ leather looked nice. Unfortunately the plastic ends that clip the phone end broke very easily w/ in the 1st couple of days. They just didn't size it right making it far too tight and the fold puts pressure on the left side of the phone tabs where they broke.
[Ebay] Galaxy Note 10 Plus S10 Deluxe Leather Card Holder Flip Case Cover for $10 these were ok, I got 2 different colors. They are nice for "going out" and holds 1 card. If you're taking the spouse out to diner these are fine.
[Wish] I ordered a few of those ultra slim cases from wish which come from China and honestly I just love these things. They are the thinnest cases I buy, the phone buttons are exposed, and they have a small lip so if you place your phone face down on a flat surface the screen shouldn't touch the surface. They are like $3 each or something so I get a few colors. When you just want to not use a case but still want some protection for "just in case" these are the way to go.
I hope this helps, I didn't post links because I'm not endorsing any seller but I do have to give a shout out to ESR as they really did knock it out the park with their various cases and my top 3 cases for daily use (Work, Gym, going out) are all theirs and I would have chosen them regardless of who made it. I hope this helps!
Thank you for all that! What about Pitaka?

It's a nice and sturdy case if you actually use the magnetic holder feature. If not then I would look elsewhere as you're then paying for a feature that you won't use. I could use a magnet holder in my wife's BMW but I couldn't in my Honda S2000 sports car as it rides much harder and there isn't a magnet strong enough to hold the Note 10+ steady and not fall off.
Thanks about the thread, it really helps
Anyway the ESR essensial zero... is it fingerprint/smudge magnet too?bc I use ESR mimic and can't stand the fingerprint
Thanks for the detailed info, it reinforces why I purchased the ESR kickstand case last night from other reviewers. My question is which wireless chargers are you using and are you using any wireless stands in portrait mode? I can see that kickstand hump being an issue with many stands in that orientation. Thumbs up once again for your detailed experiences, much appreciated.
