I also want an Alcantara case but not at that price. Takealot has something similar for R299, going to order one next week.
I got this Incipio matte case from Chatz Mobile for around R399. It has handled the few drops I have had very well. Dropped the phone last week on its face when leaving work on a wooden floor, and not a scratch in sight.

That looks like a nice case. Will see if our Chatz stocks them as well.

Finally got my Note8!!! All the way from Abu Dhabi, I got the dual SIM version and got lots of nice goodies with it, got a fast wireless charger and also a Samsung VIP membership card that gives me 20 percent off stays at Marriott hotels restaurant and spas and also got a seriously slick AKG S30 Bluetooth speaker, so happy right now, used it only for a little while now and already love it!! Watching YouTube videos in dual screen as I'm typing this right now hehe

I'm using this Caseology Case in bought from michellej.

I'm thinking about maybe getting the original Note 8 case from Samsung, but it's a bit bulky.

Congratulations dude! Finally!!!

Are you using both SIM slots? Does that still allow you to put in a MicroSD?

Some sweet accessories you got there!

After watching lots of YouTube videos I decided to go for the original Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Rugged Protective Case.

It was just the obvious choice. I can really recommend it.

Another reason why I went for the Original Samsung Galaxy Note 8 Rugged Protective Case is because most other rugged cases makes the phone look much wider and taller.

This one only adds thickness.

I mean, what's the use of having a phone that's almost bezzleless and adding a case that makes it look like it's got huge bezzles?

I received my R299 case from Takealot yesterday. It looks similar to the Samsung Alcantara case. Quality and fit of this case is actually very good.

Will post up some pictures later.
