Alcantara Case

[DakotaBoy]

Any idea when they'll be available? Had one for my Note 8, loved it.

Per Samsung Support, a Note 9 Alcantara case does indeed exist, but they are behind in production of it due to the worldwide Alcantara shortage (I looked this up, apparently it's a thing) They plan to release it at some point but didn't have a timetable on when. So, somewhat encouraging.

Good to know. Thanks!

That's good to hear. Was bummed I didn't see an Alcantara case. It's really the only case I use if I do use one.

I too loved it so went on a hunt. Found this one. Looks promising. Ordered one and can post some photos of it when I get it.

China thing has me shying away. Think I'll go with the hand made leather one. That and the review on the official Samsung ones from last year don't sit well with me, showed wear after 4 months of light use.

I was thinking about the offivial Samsung Leather Wallet but the cut out on the back for the camera and fingerprint scanner is awful.

So finally got this awesome case in from Interiorex.


First thing I noticed is that it is basically the same exact case in terms of the layout and the fit as the one I got from amazon. The one from amazon is one of my favorite cases because as it wears it looks more and more distressed. If you are into that look you'll like this. Pictures and the side to side comparison.

The alcantara case has very good quality feel to it. It's different than the one Samsung made where it protects the bottom of the phone from scratches.

Overall very pleased with it and the added bonus of the Car brand engraving.
