Can somebody please manufacture a high quality leather case for the HTC U11+ ?
I can't find one online. Does it even exist yet?
Please let me know if you find a good leather case for it.
Thank you.
The case should offer enough protection while at the same time supporting the edge sense feature.
I used the included Clear plastic case, AND then purchased a high quality leather case from Piel Frama which has a pull tab.
The IPhone 7 plus case is a perfect fit for the U11+ with the included clear case.
I don't think that there will be many cases for this device as the U12 is 6 months away.

Great how much does it cost ?
what screen protection do you use (link please)?
See link below.
Hands down, Piel Frama makes the best quality leather cases in the world.
https://www.pielframa.com/en/producto/iphone-7-plus-cases/pull-style
There are a lot of colours and a couple of textures available.
I haven't used screen protectors for years. Not necessary if you use a pouch/case for protection.

There are 4 small holes on the bottom right of the pouch. This allows for the speaker notification sounds to come through easily when the phone is in the pouch. Very clever. Perfect for this device.
This is one of the many problems with the leather cases on amazon. The product images are clearly fake.
I found this online,
https://www.casefanatic.com/htc/bus...r-cover-oneplus-5-oneplus-5t-htc-u11-htc-u11/
Have no idea about the quality but it looks good to my eyes :fingers-crossed:
Edit: The exact same case as above is available in aliexpress for half the price.
Edit: I found one more https://www.noreve.com/en/u11/3475-htc-u11-leather-cover.html
The above link is for U11 but they are currently in the process for making it for U11+ as well. Expensive but looks very high quality.

Looks good but where is that magnetic thing to close the case?
Also how does the phone sit inside the case? I don't see a silicone cover glued inside the leather case...
Please show more pics of it.
Does it provide sufficient protection for the edges of the phone?
Are all buttons easily accessible?

I received it today (1-9) . Cannot find a magnet. So it will not close by itself. Inside there is a glued cover (plastic) Fits, nice. All buttons are accessible and all the microphones are accessible too. Smells like real leather. Nicely wrapped in a box and bubble plastic.
Noreve has 3 models available now for pre-order, I ordered one (back cover only), should get it by the end of the month...

I also got the same a few days ago. https://goo.gl/9t2V3u
It is of a very good qualtity and smells like real leather. The top cover attatch to the bottom with a magnet. If it don't you have to bend the top cover to back and front a few times because the new leather is stiff. After that mine attach to the bottom without any problem.
But, the opening to the volume and power -button is too small for me. You need small fingertips or use your nail to reach them. Its also missing an opening for the led at the top so I can't see it when charging or messages has arrived. Also it is very hard to use the fingerprint scanner if you don't have small fingertips. I have inform the seller/company about this and they will probably fix i in the next batch, they say.
As I said the quality is very good, exept what I have mentioned but maybe a bit overdone. With this case the package feels very thick, with the plastic bed for the phone and quite thick leather on top of that again. Solid, looks very exclusive no doubt, but to mutch I think.

I got a new leather case today. https://goo.gl/ea8Jr4
It feels lighter and not so compact/heavy as the earlier mentioned case.
But this case as the earlier one is missing a hole/opening for the charger/message-LED. It seems that companies who make this leather cases is missing this. The LED is not visible on the phone until it lights up. On the first case I made a hole for it but on this one, if I make one, it will destroy one of the vertial seam.

You are right. After a few days of use I noticed there is a magnet. Sorry.
Received my noreve case, I got the synthetic leather one, back only ( there was a discount going on at the time, got it for 29€). Took about 20 days for delivery.
First impression is very positive, on first sight feels like really high quality, the synthetic leather seems to be of a high quality kind, fits perfectly... exept two things, one I knew about, the other one, I could live with.
First is the big cut outs for the squeeze feature, they look kinda ugly and we know that this feature works with most cases anyway... Thats why I got the black case to minimize this cutout...but still, not good.
Second thing is that the back mic cutout is not centered, mind you it doesn’t cover the mic, but just barely.
So in its current state, I wouldn’t buy it again, but having started a mail exchange with them, as it is a handmade on order brand, I think I will be able to place a special order without the cutout and with the mic hole centered correctly...
Will let you know how it goes...
Ok so my last update on the noreve case, I decided to return the one I got, didn't look good with the big cutouts for the squeeze feature...
Also they couldn't accomodate my idea for a case without these cutouts, as it would have been too expensive and too difficult for a one off case...
Back to square one, did not find a really nice case yet...

You guys should try this case too. (Incipio Feather case) I spent like 3 days searching for the perfect case for my captivate (from silicone case to leather pouch) and this one has by far the best quality and look, not to mention about the extreme thinness. Got it this afternoon and fits perfect to the phone and looks great as in the picture. The only draw back is that it doesn't cover the front side, but I can live with that.
I loved that case with my iphone, it's crazy light and thin. The only problem I had on my iphone is all I could get was white and it got nasty dirty in a week, so I would advise against white

Is it made of the soft rubber like material that gathers dust?
it's made of plastic, but looks like it's mixed w/ some sort of rubber or soft material because it's got that little bit of soft touch. (maybe that's why it's more flexible too) So far it doesn't gather any dust like some silicone cases do, but i will have to see more since i just got it today.
i wish they had more colors. Black phones get lost in the void that is my purse.

Ebay captivate incipio and they have the exact same case but in pink (but its called magenta)
From the eBay description: "With a convenient two-part sliding design, the EDGE™ embodies innovative cases focused on accessibility. Simply remove the bottom cap to dock your device in most any docking station for quick and easy charging."
I have a home dock I put the phone in every night. This is the main reason I stopped using a case. How does this design work with the Samsung dock? I can't tell from the pictures and I'm not willing to risk $25 to find out.

I thought so, but the one I was looking at on eBay (that I took that quote from) matched the one in the pic the OP posted.
Just wondering if this slides on like a silicone case or if it clips on like other hard plastic cases, is it hard plastic or like a hard silicone?
Any way you could take a picture, the incipio site doesn't really show anything to great about it?
Does it fit tight?
How does it hook on?
Even though I'm a dude I'm tempted to get the "Magenta" one just to spruce up my phone haha.
Is it hard to get on and off? I need to replace my battery once a day.
The Feather is 1 piece that snaps on, and from the pictures, it looks like it only hugs the corners. The EDGE is a 2 piece snap on case.
*taken from http://www.myincipio.com/
Does anyone have any photos of this case from the top or sides? I can't find any real world or manufacturer pics of that.
that looks nice
it doesn't cover the edges and by the looks of it, it only protects the back and if you place it face down it won't lift the phone off the surface any
It looks nice but it doesn't protect anything. The corners and front have no protection. With my experience when you drop a phone the corners get messed up
Just a quick review of one of the better cases that I have come across...for those who dont like TPU and soft cases were the lip around the screen would easily peel back, and dont feel like actual part of the phone...Seems to be the only option was to run with no case, or them clip on cases.
The Momax UltraThin is the best case for myself at the moment, offering all that I am after, a phone that is still slim, protects it from minor scratches...I admit, not much drop protection but then, even thicker cases dont always promise absolute protection.
Anyways, the case is well lipped, accurate and precise, the holes for the buttons are well placed and shaped, overall very easy, as if there was no case on. The camera hole is well flushed to the camera itself.
Most of all this case actually clips on very tight and firm, just the way I like it...there is no give or any gap or loose points like TPU cases or SGP Neos...its just a firm case, that makes you feel like you are holding onto a phone without any added bulk...
Plus, the paint job on it is absolutely stunning...pretty flawless, high quality product...for a fair price...Ill let the photos do the talking...
Cheers.
Nice and simple case. The price seems cool too, thanks for sharing the product, I'll have a look at it!

I got mine on Ebay, shipping took about 1 week to New Zealand which is as slow as things get...
Also, is the material on the inside part of the case metal? I'm afraid it would scratch the plastic on the back of the phone if there's any rubbing.. ?

It is plastic, very smooth so I do not think it would scratch at all unless there is sand or other small hard particles between the case and phone.

There are no mesh that allows small dusts to get between case and phone I suppose? I believe it also comes in transparent as well...
Have the same case - price and quality are perfect. I like that comparing to original phone materials this case feels like good-old soft-touch back panel. Only drawback I can find is that this case can be scratched easily - after a month of carrying my phone mainly in the pocket there appeared lots of small scratches. I bet this is due to the material of the case.

I'm looking for a premium leather case for my new Galaxy Note and so far the only two that I've found that meet the quality I'm looking for would be the Piel Frame iMagnum and the Noreve Tradition. Which do you think is the better of these two or is there another case you can recommend that's made of high quality leather?

I also just purchased a Note and also looking for a case. I also am debating between the same two and am leaning towards the Noreve since it opens down. The cover opening from the top will get in the way more. Price is also better.
Piel frama has actually a problem with the magnetic closing mechanism. The s-pen is not working there. They are working on it, and will drop the magnetic thing.
Noreve delivers after 15-20 working days after purchase.

I'm waiting on the official brown leather flip case. It looks super.

That doesn't surprise me in retrospect. The wacom pen is magnetic.
I ordered the noreve. Another benefit is without the (maybe now gone) wraparound clip, it should be more pocketable.

I saw the brown leather one in a German Youtube video and thought it looked pretty nice but that is the only place I've seen it and I can't find it anywhere for pre-order. I only see the blue, white and black versions of the Samsung flip case.
TBH, I remember getting a Piel Frama leather case for a PDA once upon a time which looks just like the one they have for the Note. it was bulky, the belt clip was probably cool then but as the Note is so slim anyway I'd not see any reason to bulk it up even further with that design.
The official leather sleeve looks a better option to me. Currently using the flip cover and it's great, but if it turns out to be too bulky for a dock then a slim sleeve would be my next choice. A belt clip is so 2005 .
Yeah I'm not interested in using a belt clip regardless if the case I buy comes with one. I'm just wanting to find something that will protect the device but also is made from a high quality soft leather that feels like it somewhat coincides with the price of the Note.
It looks like Piel Frama has already updated the case to replace the magnetic closure with a snap judging by the new photos on their website.
I bought a pielframa magnum case in the past for my HTC HD and the quality was suburb and the protection also because its a hard case but very disapointing it made the HD twice as thick and I suspect that will be the case with the note as well .
So if you want good protection the pielframa case will do the job no doubt.
But for me I wait untill I can buy the original samsung pouch to keep the note pocketable

- Frank
Alright, I finally got my case.
I plan on posting a video review shortly, but initial thoughts:
It's a very nice case. It just looks very classy.
It looks much more professional than the PDair case posted in the other thread.
You kind of push/snap the Note into the case. It is quite secure.
Changing batteries might be annoying.
It does not make the Note much bigger - it adds maybe 2mm to each side.
The clip is well done and I like that it doesn't add to the thickness.
It is thicker (as will all 'covered' cases be, since you need 'hooks' to hold the phone in, and the cover on top of that).
Thickness was never an issue with the Note in terms of pocketability though.
One annoyance is that the cover is about 1mm wider than the rest of the case.
It's not a lot, but you definitely notice it when it's folded back and you're holding it that way.
It kind of digs into your hand a little bit. Not a lot, but noticable.
There is a metal logo on the top right corner of the lid. Their logo has a metal 'ball'. I'm wondering what effect this has if you drop the phone face down, since that's the initial point of impact. I might be overthinking this.
Some things probably generic to all cases:
If you use the belt clip (which I won't), you have a metal 'rachet' which does on the back. If you have that on the phone is a bit awkard to hold in your hand. It's poking into you, or if you have the back flap folded back, makes the phone quite thick.
One very noticable thing - on the 'naked' Note, the power button is higher than the rest of the Note (on that side), making it very easy to accidentally press. It's a common complaint. Now that the case is higher than the power button, it's quite difficult to accidentally hit the power button. That's a very good thing.
One subtle perk of a bottom flap is that you can hook your little/ring finger around the 'hinge' and you can get a little more reckless with how you use your thumb, without fearing dropping the phone.
It'd be nice to have the Piel Frama to compare. I suspect it's lusher, softer, and thicker, but it's also 45 euro more expensive. I'm pretty happy with my choice.
- Frank
I don't have any experience with a Norêve case (looks quite nice BTW), but I own 2 Piel Frama cases.
Soon it will be replaced with the Note, but now for almost 7 years I've been using my iPAQ hx4700 daily with a Piel Frama case.
It's really of exeptional quality (leather, stitching, fit) and still looks as if only used for a few weeks.
I also used a Piel Frama case with my former PDA for about 3 years, with the same experience.
It's true though, as written before, that the Piel Frama cases add some bulk.
But they certainly have a stylish professional appearance.

I do like the look of the Norêve case and agree that the flap opening to the bottom is practical, specifically for securing the Note with one hand (especially if you have smaller hands, as I do).
I'm curious which type and colour leather you've chosen for the Norêve case and if it looks in real life the same as on their website.

Hey,
to those who already have the case by norêve: what about the closing mechanism? This one produced some very ugly scratches on the plastic surface of my old mobile phone. So, I thought of never buying one with this closing mechanism again, but rather one with a magnetic one. But magnetic is bad for the Galaxy Note as the Pen won't work well.
So, what do you think about the norêve - will it be producing damage to the phone?

It's a curved piece of leather - I don't see it doing any damage.
It sort of bends 'over' the top of the phone and holds the cover there.
It works pretty well - no complaints there.
One last amusing thing - the case almost covers the top microphone hole. I kind of think they weren't aware it is there.
- Frank
I've had the Noreve for a couple of days now.
It is just perfect. Looks good. Functions good. Solid. And the leather smells like high quality leather, not some cheap crap.
I could not get a cheap case for a 600 euros phone. That's just not me.
The piel frama could be good also but I thought I could not take pictures with it so I went for the Noreve.
Cheers.
Hi folks,
Just received my Draco Design bumper. I will say it looks very nice in person and the side buttons and top button feel nice
1 problem though --
The back bumper is not tall enough... due to the curve of the HTC One, it has 0 lay on the table design, and 0 drop protection!
The curve of the phone is taller than the bumper causing the phone to touch any surface it lays on. In short...this case serves no purpose.
Buyer Beware
Wow... If it was for me i'd have sent it back and get my money. definately doesn't worth 70 bucks without a purpose
I have the HTC One Silver and installed the Draco One black bumper.
For better protection and peace of mind, I put an invisible shield kind of protection for the back and sides of the HTC One. Then I installed the Draco One Case.
I also use a pouch for final protection.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=41292226#post41292226
The idea of AL being used as a bumper instead of plastic/rubber also blows my mind. I would hope that you could return that case as it is extremely pricey for something that isn't doing it's job.
Actually I already knew that the Draco bumper won't protect much at the back because I had tested the dummy HTC One and noticed the back was curved, especially around the camera lens.
I agree the design could have been improved because the guys at Draco must have tested the bumper with a dummy model.
Anyway I will make do with the Draco Bumper until another better aluminum bumper releases.
The aluminum bumper gives a different look to the HTC One.
Yeah I'm definitely gonna be returning it. I noticed their website states only unopened items, but we shall see!
Hopefully they will adjust the back bumper to sit just a few mm higher and alleviate these issues.
I will contact the dealer in Hong Kong and see what they have to say. These bumpers are made in China anyway. May be they can get a quicker response.
May I ask whether the volume key is working properly

You need to make sure the volume buttons are set properly in the bumper. Initially I was having difficulty pressing the buttons but after setting the volume buttons properly, it became easier to press.
Sucks I was looking to get one. I'm waiting for dbrand to perfect their skins for the One, then I'm gonna get an aluminum bumper similar to this and have an Iron Man design on the back.
i have a feeling that this will be the case for most bumpers, because of the curve. however, wouldnt say that it offers 0 protection. ive been going commando with my One since i got it, today i dropped it on its corner and put a small dent in it. now, i could have avoided that if i had a bumper like this.
Judging by your second photo, at least it has a considerable 'lip' on the front side of the device which is great if you're like me and leave you One screen down on the desk.

Yup, laying it down on its face is perfectly fine. I really do like the look of the thing in person, I'm just hoping they machine a Version 2 that extends the back side out a bit. Could also keep the case the same, but machine slight ridges on all 4 corners of the backside that extend just slightly more.
I'd use it if I didn't see the issues regarding the One's camera hole cracking/scratching and case denting as much as it does.
How long did it take to delivery the case to your location?

would you of rather make the case an inch thick and protect the phone? what did you think it was going to be with the curve of the one. i have some tape and packing over here it you want to secure your phone. If they made it cover the whole phone i imagine we would be reading a review of how tall it was

All they needed to add was literally a 2mm bump on each of the 4 corners. Wouldn't even be noticeable. Other bumper companies have done this sort of thing for quite a while now, I can't believe it was such a huge oversight by Draco.
On the case delivery, took about 4 days from order to receiving in AZ
I ordered one already and will apply a skin on the back to add more protection to it. It would be enough I think

If you're going to use this case make sure to get a protector for the back like some have suggested. Also know that because of the low profile camera bumper lining on the HTC One, if dropped on it's back, you may get a broken lens in addition to the dent in the aluminum.

I have the HTC One Silver and installed the Draco One black bumper.
For better protection and peace of mind, I put an invisible shield kind of protection for the back and sides of the HTC One. Then I installed the Draco One Case.
I also use a pouch for final protection.

wow, this looks good. anyone have experience with the company?
Just ordered one of these which will be with me in a few weeks from Hong Kong. Should be a nice compromise between a hard case + screen protector with no screen protector and one of these.
Looks far less bulky than a wallet case too.
Nice find
I've just ordered one too :good:

~5£ including shipping on aliexpress, also ships from china so will probably take 20+ days but I think i'll probably get this and a clear bumper case like spigen or orzly.

I don't know which one is better, both are interesting. My only doubt, for both products, is the back quality, as for what I understood they clasp directly on the mattee surface of the phone. If the cover is badly cut, then back scratches are possible... so I think I'll wait for some feedback first

exactly what im thinking. also i dont know if the 'flap' closes/sticks properly to the screen on either.
Just ordered one it looks promising, suppose we will see.

Case just arrived and i am very impressed with the quality and slimness. The auto screen on feature is working perfectly.
For the price, quality, slimness this case represents a very value :good:

Cool, any chance for some pictures? Would be cool to see some real pics of it.
yes pictures please!!!! how is the material? hard or soft? do the cutouts align properly?
I just got one about 5 days ago but they just ship out on 26. Will update some pics as soon as I received it
mine just arrived and I would concur that it is very nicely made, fits very snugly against the phone. If it have a hole for the notification light, and a small suction cup to keep the cover closed like the pudini it would be perfect! Let me know if you want me to take more pictures.

doesnt it have a magnet to keep it closed and do the sleep/wake function?

It have a magnet to do the sleep/wake function but the magnet isn't strong enough keep it closed, hence my comment having suction cup thing
Looks cool !! But for $7 is a bit hard to trust the leather quality ...
Mine just arrived and man this thing is heavy for a case but is very good quality for £6.50 including shipping. It's so much nicer now that the screen wakes up as soon as you open the case.
All in all very impressed.
Garbage
This case is crap guys. The material feels nasty and tends to grip pocket lining making it difficult to slide in and out. The flip cover seems to be fashioned out of metal (based on the weight and rigidity) and I have noticed signal reception fluctuating with flap orientation. I get that it's a $10 and expectations are low, but you can do much better than this. Anyone tried to the Nilikin or can recommend any other quick cover knockoffs?
Today I looked for a leather case with a sleep/wake magnet.
Until now 3 out of 5 do not have a magnet - the other's answer is still outstanding.
However what I really don't get is: Why does no case have a cut-out for the notification light. I would even say, that this is more crucial than the cut-out for the earpiece.
Or does anyone know such a case?
