Anyway, should give the phone a premium feel, hopefully without messing around with the signal

I was watching youtube videos about Galaxy Note with flip cover and while at first i kinda liked how it looks, but later i decided that it isn't comfortable to use the phone with it in a hand

Thought about the flip case, but it doesn't appear to offer any kind of drop protection as it's exposed around the edges.
I don't very often drop my devices but if I do I'd like something like the a gel case around the edges at least.

Sure that's an original, as that one was supposed to come in only two colors?
Flip Cover is a cover for large phones and it was a great product when launched for Galaxy Note. It gives a nice and improved look for Galaxy S3 and you might use it to fool your friends into thinking that you’re holding a book. It is available in two colors so that you can easily match it with your Galaxy S3 model’s color.

wow these look awesome

I have ordered the grey one bugatti)

I always thought that the flip covers are not that good in trying to use 2 hands to type etc.
I would get a hard back cover of some sort, but haven't seen anything appealing...

Yeah think I'll start with one of these, cheap as chips(£6) then see what's good later.

Getting one of these. Cheap & cheerful. Don't know if I'm getting the S3 yet as I am happy with my Note, but want to be prepared. ( Nice to see the trader being honest about the material used )

I'm likely going to do a casemate toughcase again. Have one on the sgs2 and not a bad thing to say about it.

New Galaxy Nexus Owner

I have recently purchased a new GN and I am waiting for it to arrive. I wanted to go ahead and buy a case for it(thinking hard about S-Line TPU Wave) but I have a quick question. The S-Line Waves on Amazon all say(Verizon) or (Verizon Wireless) beside them. Are the dimensions different for GSM/CDMA phones? Or will any Galaxy Nexus case fit any Galaxy Nexus? Thanks. Also, any S-Line TPU Wave case owners care to offer an opinion? I saw the review here on the sticky, and it seems like exactly what I want.

The Verizon/Sprint version is about 0.5 millimeters thicker than the GSM version, but generally generic Galaxy Nexus cases will fit on both versions. I found this version on Amazon, I think it is the one you are referring to: (just copy the following and search for it on amazon, XDA won't let me post links)
BasalCase(TM) Samsung Galaxy Nexus TPU S-Line Wave Case - Smoke [BasalCase Retail Packaging]
The description says that this case is for the i9250, which is the code for the GSM version, and the phone shown in the picture appears to be a GSM Nexus, so I think it would be a good fit for your new phone.

Thanks so much!

[Video Review] Spigen Illuzion for Samsung Galaxy S3

My video review of Spigen SGP's Illuzion for the Galaxy S3. If you're looking for a wallet style case, this is definitely one to check out. Also, if you're considering this vs. CreTouch's Smarllet, I would go with the Illuzion. If you have any questions on the case, leave a comment down below.
Link to purchase($32.99): http://go.alltechunity.com/s3ill
Pros
- Good looking and very vibrant
- Well-designed, high Quality
- Three card slots for credit cards and IDs
- Cutouts for all ports and buttons
Cons
- Somewhat expensive
- No accessories included

Leather Sleeve / Pouch Options?

So I've emailed SENA Cases about their wonderful line of leather products for smartphones & Spigen about their "Crumena" case series -- both of which expressed slightly less than interested responses.
Here's the response I received from SENA :
Thank you for your interest in Sena Cases.
Unfortunately, we currently do not have plans to make that specific case for this device. However, that may change in the future if we receive a high volume of requests. With your consent, we will keep your contact information on file and notify you if and when such a case becomes available.
Sena Cases appreciates your business and apologizes for any inconvenience.
Sincerely,
Randi Weden

And the response I received from Spigen :
Thank you so much for contacting us and we appreciate your patience.
I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your question.
We have actually discontinued most of our leather products, but we are always looking for our customers for greater insight and demands!
Thank you so much for reaching out to us to express your interest in our Crumena case, we will definitely take note of it and let our developers know.
If you have any comments or suggestions, you can also go on our Facebook or Twitter to voice your thoughts on new products!

That being said, it looks like neither company will be producing a product for this model in the foreseeable future, so what other options do we have? I looked for phones that had similar dimensions and it seems the GS4 when compared is almost identical, give or take a slight difference.
Nexus - 137.9 x 69.2 x 8.6 mm (5.43 x 2.72 x 0.34 in)
GS4 - 136.6 x 69.8 x 7.9 mm (5.38 x 2.75 x 0.31 in)
There are a few cases listed on SENA's website for the GS4 - what do you guys think? Will the sleeves / pouches created for the GS4 work, or should we hold out in hope of a company creating something for the Nexus 5.
Those who prefer the leather cases and have an N5, what are your thoughts?

I just ordered this: http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smartphone-cell-phone-pda/lg/lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821/leather-case-for-lg-google-nexus-5-d820-d821-vertical-pouch-type-belt-clip-included.html
They have three other options:
Belt clip with naked N5
No belt clip for N5 with a case
Belt clip for N5 with a case

This looks to be just what i am looking for. I wonder how snug/tight it is. I prefer cases that have a strap to hold the phone in but this one might have to do i'm having a hard time finding a case for this and i hate not having a case...

I use an HTC pouch designed for the One X and some of the other recent HTC phones:
http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/PO_S650.aspx
Cost me about $10 off eBay... I have been using these pouches since I had a HTC Desire. Got the above case for my Galaxy Nexus, and to my surprise it fit the Nexus 5 quite nicely (it was always a bit big on the Galaxy Nexus).
It is a tight fit, but I have an older version of the same case so I know it stretches. The width is fine, but the height is an exact fit, there's no slack at the top end so if you drop it on the exposed side, it won't be well protected.
I'll put photos if anyone is interested...

where could one get this case in canada without paying 2 much for shipping. Not willing to pay the same or more then the case for shipping...

Media Devil Artisan leather pouch - wow
I just got the Media Devil Artisan leather pouch today am I'm totally impressed with the quality for the price... It shipped rather quickly for something coming from jolly old England to Minnesota... I got the black w/black stitching. I'd probably order a second one if I could get it in natural brown leather. I guess I won't be stalking Sena's site anymore waiting for their vapor sleeve.... :laugh:

I have a Dodo Durables for a HTC One sleeve and it will work with the Nexus 5 fine but it's a somewhat tight fit. It will sometimes trigger the power button when inserting/removing the phone. I wish they offered an all leather option - the canvas gets a little floppy with use - probably not as much of an issue when you're using it with the phone it's intended for.
