Just purchased this from china along with a few other cases, this is probably the first tpu case with a flip lid similar to those leather one's, this case has a slightly grainly rubbery finished.
Not bad, looks tough/protective. Although I dislike rubbery covers, since I use my phone in my pocket. It makes them harder to get out and pick up link.

It has a soft grainy finish, so sliding it in and out of my jeans pocket without any problem.
Love the button cut outs...but case looks a bit too thick for my personal for my liking. Thanks for sharing though.

Hi there, have the link for the cover? Thanks!
Thanks for the review. I was checking one of these out on the ebay. Does the flap stay flat? Does it come open a lot?

Like if I were to put it in a bag or something, there really isn't anything to keep it closed is there? It doesn't snap shut or anything right?

Hi Guys,
Got my hands on the SGP Linear Pure series case, a 3 piece case made out of plastic. It fits nicely on the phone and will offer pretty good protection, but the glossy plastic attracts fingerprints and scratches. Full review below:
Another great review, I'm liking your series.
Now get a hold of one of these: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1188219 !

Yes, thanks for that, i went to get it after watching your video. I placed some stickers between the back plastic to act as a shim to prevent it from moving.

Right. I hear some people did the same, placing a skin underneath to add some bulk and prevent the rattle! Hope you're liking it!
Anybody have any idea where I could get an aluminum or nicer battery cover replacement?
I don't like the feel of the cheap plastic on the galaxy range.

im looking for a metal back cover as well. preferably a white one
There are only cases, but no back covers that are metal. It would only damage your phone if you get the battery cover off of it with metal.

I am hoping they release the ZAGG leather skins like they have for other phones. Once that is applied, nothing else is needed!
http://www.zagg.com/leatherskins/index.php
have you really had a SGS3 yet to say that you dont like it??? Geez.... have some patience and you might find that its much better than it looks. Besides getting a metal or alloy piece will be much more scratch prone and that is not something you would like to have!
Alright calm yer beans I was just curious, like im sure many others are.
Sent from my GT-P7510 using xda premium
sure, im curius as well, to see why half the reviewers of the S3 say the rear cover is brilliant and nothing like the photos show, and the other half insist that its 'plasticky'
then i can decide about covers. However i have already preordered some a couple of cases to go with the phone anyway as im sure it will be a while before they will ever make proper rear covers to replace.

Hmmm, not a fan tbh. I've been using mine with no cover for 2 days now and I'm loving it! So thin and light. Though I'm going to order a carbon fibre cover (to sit over existing cover) just in case I drop it or someone else does.

Those aren't "covers" though, they're replacement "backs".

Here are couple close-ups of the replacement covers for anyone that's interested.
A metal case would really screw up your reception, and stop a lot of things like GPS and NFC from working. Take a look at the old transformers

How this helps...and I also just got the Clear Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit TPU Case For HTC One and I think I actually like it more than the Poetic Case.
Youtube review of the case.
Is there some kind of magnetic closure? So that when i hold the phone upside down, the front part doesn't open?
Nope, it just flops open... Try a rubber band...

Got the FlipBook today and it is a very nice sleek case. The cover is heavy so it closes very nicely. It lookes luxury. It fits mutch better than the original HTC flipstand cover I have. The original I like to both it's a bit to loose in my opinion.
Got the clear Poetic case to that one fits so tight that it hard to get it of again. It's very nice.
Came with a letter from Poetic that all costumers how both one will get a free update in may because the remote control does not work with the case because of block by white button.

I've had it for about a week. Very nice fit and finish. Very slim. As one poster mentioned, there's no mechanism to keep the flap closed (no magnet or snap). There's a fair chance it'll flap open if dropped and not provide much protection. However, I got this case primarily to protect the glass face in my pocket etc. and it's definitely less slippery than the naked phone.
:good:
Was browsing around and just saw this. Costs much more, but someone might be interested.

Does it have auto lock/ unlock when you open the case? The poetic case I have on my Nexus10 has this functionality and is very handy.

I've been using the Poetic FlipBook case for about 2 weeks now. It's great -- the cover is heavy enough that it stays shut except when upside down, and is nice because I can 'swing' it open with one hand with a little force.
I usually take my phone out of it at night or at work (I have a dock for work) - it pops right out if you peel back 2 corners, but holds it very sturdy otherwise. I've dropped the phone once, and it protected the corner that hit the table - better yet, it didn't leave a single mark.
The cover and back feel nice to the touch, and it's nice not worrying about using a screen protector or anything when it's in my pocket. Adds very little weight to the phone.
I like my phone naked, but if I'm out and about, that's not exactly 'smart' so this case keeps the phone classy, gorgeous, and has a practical application. Just make sure not to get sand or something on the inner front cover!
Do you guys find the cover lays flat when shut even after being folded backwards during phone use? I have a Nilkin flip case on my Nexus and after fold it backwards it wont lay flat when closed anymore. I just ordered the flipbook for the m7 and am going to be really bummed if it suffers from the same problem.

I've had mine for about 3 weeks and I always fold it back and still lays very flat. It's a nice well made case and seems like the more I fold it back the flatter it lays.

I have one in red! It looks really nice and I love the look of the metal. The only issue I have is the silicone part isn't the most snug fit and sometimes an edge of the phone might come out of the case when I took it out of my pocket. I don't think the whole phone would come out or anything..I'm just picky.

Thank you for the pictures. Would you recommend it?
Sent from my One using xda app-developers app
If you're looking for protection, I probably wouldn't recommend it. There really isn't much of a lip over the screen and the top corners seem to slip off a little too easily. It's not like the whole case would accidentally fall off though since the metal part helps to keep it somewhat rigid.
If you're looking for style, then go for it. It's definitely a unique case.
Heads up, if you actually buy it from Mindplar.com it's $45 with shipping and comes with an assumingly cheap battery bank. A little bit cheaper.

This case does indeed look night, I never spend this much on a case but I might have to, maybe I will wait for a few other reviews.
These are pretty sharp looking. I have only been using a sleeve, but might have to consider this. I think Eddie Van Halen would approve of the red one.

Nice case !
I seen 1 million cover for htc one but i never seen this one before ! thanks , probably i'll purchase this , seems really good
Just got mine in the mail. Came with a free 1000 mAh power bank.
Didn't realize that the IR port was covered, no big deal though. I can use a nail to put a hole in there.
Kind of disappointed that the "metal" part is glued on, and it doesn't wrap around the lip like other hybrid cases.
The case itself is very slim. If you have a glass screen protector it wouldn't wrap around it. Looks really great in hand though.

So looking at the pictures previously posted, is the rubber very...rubbery? lol like the ports seem very loosely cut (charging port) and the edges seem like very rounded. I am used to the UAG case and think the cuts and lines are so sharp that this case (while looking pretty rad) has some variances in quality
am i right?
Hello!
Long story short, I had an ultra thin matte case on my phone, but it literally just shattered on me when I dropped my phone. Got away with a few nicks...
So now, I'd like to invest in a flip case as them seem to provide better protection for the face. I know our phones aren't equip with OLED screens, but with apps floating around that mimic S-view notifications, I thought I'd try to find one with a cut out. I've found these:
Rock window case - Seems to tick all the boxes, but I'm not too keen on the latch thing
KLD KA case - Looks perfect, but it's for the max.
"Thin flip case" - Kinda just like this with a cut out would be great.
Have I missed any? Or any recommendations for cases in general would be great thanks.
