I really like the VRS cases. I've had several Dandy's for various phones. What's funny is I've bought most of them from VRS's ebay store. Even for newly released phones they are cheaper there than their official web store.
I didn't think to go to ebay since the cases were listed as preorder. They weren't expected to ship until the first week of September. But I received shipping confirmation with 24 hours once the Note 8 was officially announced.
