Couple of months back, we posted a review of Zenus Vintage case for the first generation Samsung Galaxy Note and we loved the detail and precision Zenus puts in while manufacturing cases for various Samsung phones and tablets. The Massitge cases are special as they have letters and symbols engraved on the leather giving them a very unique and different look.

Seidio has released a very high quality case called Active Combo with built-in metal kickstand. The case has two layers, one inside made of polymer for better grip and another hard shell for outstanding impact protection. Both hard shell and polymer on the inside have premium rubber finish that does not attracts or gather dust.

If you hate screen protectors but still want to protect the screen, then Spigen has got you covered with its glas.t screen protector. Basically it is a screen protector made of glass. So, it adds a layer of protection and prevents it from getting scratched. The Spigen glas.t protector has a olegphobic coating on it, which makes it resistant to those fingerprints to a certain level. The Note’s S-pen works just fine with it.

Samsung has not released an official HDMI adapter for the Galaxy Note 10.1 but we have come to know that the one meant for the Galaxy Tab works just fine with it. The only thing not to like about it is the fact you need to have the charger plugged in for it to work.
Samsung promised that it will be releasing Jelly Bean, also known as, Android 4.1.1 for the Galaxy Note 10.1 (Galaxy Note 800) very soon and here it is, albeit unofficially. Folks at sammobile.com has made it as OTA-type download. To flash the OTA, just download it to your SD card; boot into Note 10.1 recovery ((hold down Power and Volume Up buttons together for about 15 seconds) and flash the firmware from there.
Update – See the note given at the bottom of this post.
Jelly bean will give you a quicker UI – Google claims Jelly bean’s UI runs at 60FPS; better web browser and myriad of internal improvements over the ICS Android 4.0.4. Keep in mind that the flashing will fail if you are rooted your Note 10.1 or have flashed a custom ROM. You must roll back to stock firmware and then download it to your external SD card before flashing.
Download Galaxy Note 10.1 stock firmware.

I bought myself the official Galaxy S3 desktop dock (Samsung EDD-D200BEGSTA) and the good news is that it works just fine with my first generation Galaxy Note and the new Note 2. Immediately after putting it in the dock, ‘dock homescreen’ is activated. There are 5 shortcuts displays along with a huge clock.
The official Samsung Galaxy Note II Protective Back Cover is a great way to gorgeous back of the Galaxy Note 2. This hard back case feels solid as it is made entirely from thermoplastic material. The fit is tight, but do not worry, it won’t fall off on its own. Find more about it in this review.
