2013-09-06
everybody's michael fisher with pocket now we're at Aoife we're at the Samsung booth again and we're checking out a variety of accessories for the note 3 we've managed to corral all these together we're being the total jerks of the booth and are stealing half of their phones just to show you the variety of color and this isn't even all of them we have to give these back we're going to show you more than these right now just to show you this is the flip cover without the window obviously in the front notice the leather goes all the way around to the back and it leaves a hole for the camera there and there's that stitching pattern that is you know evident in all of these note 3 accessories calling out the note lineage and the lack of Piper glaze it opens up like that we've got a little a little slot there for your credit cards your driver's license whatever a little hole for the earpiece you can have a conversation let's go over and check out the ones with Windows built in and now for something slightly different the new s view cover with this giant window we saw this the other night we have this special operating mode on the display we're quick enough we can show you that there that is saves a little bit of battery power by only activating that AMOLED element at least that's so Samsung's claim and we saw this on the galaxy s4 but this is a much larger window the window is still present there is still plastic here as there is on most accessories of this type but now we have a lot more surface area to play with and we have these apps that we can kind of play with here now I think what's happening is we're activating the 70 sensors something's going on this is timing out really quickly over here you can see the music controls they are a shortcut to the camera or shortcut to the action memo and if you have the s-pen out you can take a note right on the cover and it doesn't seem affected by it I wonder if pressure sensitivity seems yep it seems to work just fine it would be dainty or we can be fierce that is very cool to do through the plastic there and then a quick shortcut to camera if you want to jump in there take a quick shot while the case is on very well thought-out shortcut there a little flash toggle just stripped-down versions of the full functionality available right in the window here once again you can take calls for the earpiece that protrudes through there otherwise very similar to the traditional has covered with the stitching here galaxy note 3 don't know if you like that color but if you don't there are a billion the 11 other choices for you or 6 or 9 or whatever it is but it's still quite a lot of choice of course you get some more diverse taste or some more fashion centric ones Moschino and Nicholas Kirkwood whose names I don't know how to pronounce well but I hope that worked out or fashion designers who've created some custom cases here custom versions of the S view cover there's a moleskin branded stuff up there and as my first time seeing that actually we compared this thing to a moleskin so it makes a lot of sense that that is there and of course the Galaxy Note 10.1 is not left out of the fun and the color Department either with these flip cover cases over there if those options weren't enough for you Samsung has thought of that and given you a whole lot more by the way I was wrong the flip wallet is what that is called without the window this is the S view cover here you can see the vast array of colors available here it doesn't stop there the galaxy note 3 is also available with different back covers if you're not into a flip cover you can still customize your device and by the way you can make it match your galaxy gear if you prefer but if you're little rough around your devices Samsung has there its own branded protective cover plus here in this kind of ruggedized plastic feel of shirt doesn't add any milspec but it does add some peace of mind probably and of course the classic black and white available for the S charger kid with the Qi enabled wireless charging pad so Galaxy Note 3 I don't think there's any disputing it probably the most customizable phablet ever released at least so far Anton Dino drew behind the camera I'm Michael Fisher were still here at Eva's a stay tuned for a lot more from pocket now
