So I'm one of those people who can't just go with a full case because I love holding my phone in its natural naked condition. I know when a phone is new, manufacturing of accessories can take a while, so I patiently waited a few weeks until I started my hunt for a decent sleeve or pouch. Here's the thing: a. I can't stand the belt-clip pouches b. I hate anything that makes my phone feel bulky c. I want it to be aesthetically pleasing. Picky right?
Anyway, after trying the usual Amazon and Ebay, I tried various keywords in Google and FINALLY came across this site that I had never heard of before. They were the only ones to offer a leather case for this phone that actually looked decent and fit my criteria. Free overnight shipping, great excellent customer service when I didn't understand what the holdup was (the rep politely told me it was pre-order season, and they'll have it soon)
This thing fits snug and feels great. The only downside to it is that when I just tried to stuff it in there aggressively to test it out, I noticed that it would start to vibrate a few times and restart. I know that its because of the power button being held down even in the sleep state, so I tried it again, this time with love? (so to speak) Gently placed it in, and every time I did, no issues.
One more thing I will mention is that if you're looking for a case for protection, this isn't the case for you. If you're pretty good about taking care of your phone and just want a nice pouch/sleeve to go with it, this is a great option. Attached are some photos and when I bought it, it was $24.99, I really like it. Below is a link as well, hope this helps anyone who's interested in a similar case.
(I believe they upped it to $29.99 now)

Thanks for the review. Looks nice! I can see in your photo it looks like the leather case is so snug it's kinda almost pressing on the phone's power button. I guess that's why it rebooted the first time you shoved the phone in there. Maybe the leather will stretch a little and loosen up with time and use.

I agree plus it doesn't have the stupid cut out on the corner. I'm really happy I got mine.
I have this and i can testify that for the price is is 100% worth it, i use it as a backup case but it's great if your on a train or plane journey, you can just watch a video and leave the phone resting.
Got mine cheap from eBay but definitely recommend this case even as a backup but you can use it as an everyday case.
Soft or Hard

It's rubber not really hard but hard enough.
for that price you can't go wrong, it's great to have with you if your going to be watching video,etc i have it as a back up case as i mentioned, of course it's not the best case your gonna get for the GS2 but for the money it's absolutely fine and i recommend it.

This case is great for its price. I even use it as an everyday case. It looks a bit ugly but is very handy when it comes to the kick stand
Camera ZOOM
Has anyone found that cases that came with a optic zoom, like there's a lot for iphones?? Example:

I'm looking for a thin light attractive folding smart case for mt G10.1
Ive narrowed it down to 2 but I am open to others.
some of the things I am looking for..
Hard case back. and the ability to prop it at a slight angle for typing on a desktop or 45 ish degree for watching movies ect.
well protected edges
also the ability to prop it with the tablet upside down so i can use the Dock connecter for USB/Memory cards
the 2 that fit the bill are the Samsung hard case and the Ebay Smart covers.
I really Like the looks of the official Samsung case & the way it shuts securely though I am not sure how the areas it bends at will hold up over time, especially at the price they go for. It also doesn't seem like its very stable when propped up on a desk at a slight angle ( for typing )

The alternative are the Ebay smart covers with a hard back.
not really fond of the color schemes they come in but they arent bad. the price is good, I like the way it props up but I dont know if Ive seen any with a cover that shuts securely. Does anyone know of any ?
I have this one from Amazon and it has held up fine for the last 4 months...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PC7VG4/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
I don't know if it meets all your criteria, but the price is good, the quality is very good, and it works.
The ebay one doesn't, I have one and the cover just flaps around but at the price it is what would you expect? The covers magnetic for creating a triangle for upright viewing but doesn't hold itself against the screen when covering it.
Thanks. Mine just showed up today. fits nice and snug. all the cut outs are where needed. I like everything other than it not closing securely, but as you said for the $ its still a good deal.
Im sure I can come up with something. I just need to make sure it looks nice and not slopped on
Got this in the mail a few days ago and decided I'd write a summary review for you guys just in case you're looking to charge your GS3 wirelessly. The kit includes a protective case that doubles as a back up battery for when you're on the go. The color is deep blue that matches the GS3 pretty closely except its done in a matte finish. Its a bit slick but not as slick as the phone is without anything on it so overall its not too bad. Has a button on the back that when pressed once checks the charge of the internal battery and when held down activates the actual recharge so you can juice up whenever you want.
From a protective viewpoint its not the greatest considering some of the sides are exposed as well as some of the top, not sure why they did it that way but its not great for face down protection. I would definitely recommend a screen protector. The charging pad itself uses the Qi standard so you can use it with the new Nexus 4, Windows 8 phones or if you decided to hack the back cover and insert a coil you can use it to recharge as well. They do sell the pad seperately if you don't need the case so thats always good. The pad itself feels great and smooth just like the GS3 does and the finish is nearly identical in color and touch to the capacitive button area of the phone. It only fits one phone at a time and obviously you'd probably like to find one specific spot to keep it so you don't have to lug it around from room to room or between work and home. I did a full review with a ton more details at the link below but that pretty much sums everything up.

By the way, just found out Droidax is going to have a massive Black Friday sale with up to 75% off its accessories. Took a screen grab of the details.
I guess the Black Friday sale was extended.....you can buy this guy for $60 right now.
http://www.cruzerlite.com/cases/lg/nexus-5/bugdroid-circuit-intelligent-wallet-for-nexus-5-red-blue
I used this intelligent wallet LIGHTLY for less than 2 months and I already see wearing and rips and tears on the wallet. I do not recommend it at all. I contacted customer service and I got no replies. It's a nice feature to combine a wallet with the phone but on top of the wallet tearing very easily, the phone gets VERY bulky because not only do you have the case now, you have to add the extra material to make it a wallet and even more space for the cards/cash...
If you keep it in your pocket, please check out the wallet in person before purchasing it like I did. I would never go back to a wallet/case again and especially with this particular one.
This is a great case for people with a purse or people who don't mind carrying around a case that wears very easily. The idea of it is great and I loved it until it wore out very quickly and with tears. This case is not for me at least...
EDIT: I forgot to mention, within 2 months, the case that is hot-glued to the wallet is coming off already. I feel at this point, I should just rip off the case from the wallet that is barely hanging on (can provide pictures) but I want to keep it to see how long it will stay on... from the looks of it, at most 2 months and this wallet/case is done. The case should be salvageable but will have the sticky residue from the wallet being hot glued to the case...

And an other unhappy customer here! Exactly the same problem. Although I don't use the nexus too often and I take care of it a lot. Did you find any other case?

So one point you made was you are mad because they designed a wallet case like a wallet case ? Am I understanding you ? You said its too thick since you have to put money and cards in it. Well isn't that why you bought that case ? Its like me complaining that my Porsche is too fast.

Have to say that, that case looks cheap. Thanks for sharing info about this one. Seems like only good flip cover is going to be the LG official.

I am always horrified when it comes to water and phones; the two should never mingle. At the beach one day, I noticed the clear aqua blue water for miles and wanted to capture this breath-taking view from in the water under but I know I would need an expensive underwater camera to do so. I order this product specifically because of the overwhelming response of positive reviews. My experience yet so far this week has been nothing short of awesome. This is perfect for taking pictures underwater, while snorkeling. I was worried that having the screen would mess up the responsiveness of the touch screen but there were no issues at all. I'm just happy I don't have to bring a separate waterproof camera. Great buy!
Materials: High quality construction, everything feels very durable and has a nice weight without feeling cheap or heavy. I was also happy that there was no strong or strange smell on the product as many of the newer things I buy end up needing to be aired out.
Pro's
- I've submerged my phone in the bathroom sink for a few minutes taking pictures and shooting videos.
- I've showered with it and yet to see a single drop of water inside the case when the iPhone was removed.
- The touch screen in the front and the camera in the back were all accessible while in the case.
Con's
- The only thing i wish it had was access to the top and side buttons. They can still be pressed so it doesn't really bother me much.
- It would be great if it came in a completely clear plastic, to allow for more visual support.
I also have found a deal for this waterproof case at http://deals.kinja.com/, now the price is only 6,99 $ with code: NZG26DKJ
Details: http://www.amazon.com/Universal-Waterproof-Case-Motorola-diagonal/dp/B01CSH93UK/
I had intended to buy a waterproof case JOTO, but when i see this post,i change my mind. A waterproof case Turata at 6.99USD and 7.99USD for JOJO, there is no big difference in terms of functionality. So why not choose one more cheaper. @Glaxaymixc, thanks for sharing this good deals.
Yeah, of course. so i choosed the cheaper one, but it is also very good.
