Where to buy OEM Official Samsung Leather Pouch ?

Hi all,
Sorry if this was asked already, ive been searching all over the accessories thread and cant find one about the particular leather pouch im looking for.
Does anyone know where to buy the OFFICIAL Samsung leather POUCH? (in BLACK)
The people who bought the S2 from India recieved it in their box as per this thread:

I'm NOT looking for a CASE/protector because i'm used to carrying my phone in a leather pouch (ala the official one that came with the HD2 - coincidentally i'm USING the leather pouch from the HD2 but it's still too big for the S2 so i'm scared it will slip out)
I cant seem to find anything about it online - I've checked ebay as well
All i can find are 3rd party ones that I dont really trust so i really want to try out the official Samsung pouch since it was made for the S2
Thanks in advance for the help!

Samsung EF-C1A2L

I'm looking for this pouch too and didn't find anywhere to buy yet.
Here is tan version: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-leather-pouch-case-tan-p29969.htm
EDIT: Black: http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B004ULZB36/ref=cm_cd_asin_lnk

I feel the tan version looks classier although it may not suit everyone and depends on your mood whether you like it or not

Now available at Expansys:
Black: http://www.expansys.ae/samsung-pouch-case-for-galaxy-s-ii-black-218551/
Brown: http://www.expansys.ae/samsung-pouch-case-for-galaxy-s-ii-brown-218556/
'this is not an advertisement'

Thanks for the headsup - although $30 + shipping for the case is PRETTY expensive :S not sure if i'd pay that much....maybe ill wait a bit

Yes, you are right. I prefer to wait for local retailers.

I got this from Amazon.de
No problem with the pouch but I didn't like the design. No way you can put your earphones when the phone is in the pouch. Also charging
Felt like it was not a good buy

Does it have a hole for rear speaker on the back?

No. It is a full concealed pack like your wallet. No holes whatsoever.
Would recommend you to try before buying. I made that mistake of not trying

Is there also a case that can fit the official car holder?
I want a case / like a skin to protect the sgs2 but also can fit the carholder..
I also consider a (leather) battery cover; just for a better grip; the sgs2 is so light that it can slip away when u use only one hand :-(

So it is not exactly same as pouch of India release. I really don't know why Samsung included pouch for India release only while UK is the main market.

just to warn you, dont be misled by the title in this Ebay item, as it is saying i9100... IT IS NOT, it is the KOREAN MODEL and the seller is still insisting it Works on the i9100 perfectly.,.. IT DOESNT
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...9&ssPageName=ADME:X:RTQ:US:1123#ht_7936wt_905

Why not? This Korean version case fits very well for my i9100.

Best cases?

Hello,
i am wondering what are the best cases for this beast.
Personally, i would like it to be as thin as possible so that the form/design is not altered, and covering just the back of the phone.
Case-mate barely there case seems to be ok.
but i also found this: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/flexishield-skin-for-samsung-galaxy-nexus-black-p33167.htm
anyone used these, or any other?

Does NFC still work through thoose cases?

That looks perfect for me, just what im after, but is ordering 1 from there ok?
Im based in london and the price on there is showing in euro's i think.
is there any english sites that sell these?
if not, this is the sort of case im after, but i want leather rather than rubber....

but there is 2 versions of it? whats the difference???
here is version 1...

Unfortunately stilgut v2 is made of PU leather, not of genuine one.

So i'll be better getting the first 1 they made rather than V2 yeah?
im loving this 1 right now....
http://www.stilgut.com/fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/ultra-slimcase-v2-f-galaxy-note-n7000---cognac.php

Stilgut seems to sell by its own and ships to GB. I would suggest this one that's made of real leather:
http://www.stilgut.com/fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/exkl-ledertasche-ultraslim-f-galaxy-note-buchtyp.php But it has no stand function.
I don't know if you can find stilgut v1 anywhere to buy since they seem to have replaced v1 (real leather) with v2 (faux leather).
Anyways, many people seem to be happy with their stilgut v2 made of faux leather. But personally I don't like this material.
Edit: Great thing about stilgut cases is that they don't use magnets (which may interfere with your note / s-pen) to close the case. They use a pretty clever solution.

If i go ahead and buy this 1, do you think there would be any problems? or will it be simple as buy it, pay for it, give details and await delivery?

Of course I cannot promise anything since I have nothing to do with that company. But it's a confidential German manufactor from Berlin where many of my friends including myself bought cases for different devices and there was not one single problem so far. Very slim, great quality!
I have no stilgut case for my galaxy note, so I don't know the one I suggested you. But on the pictures it looks good.

If a pouch style is acceptable to you,I'm very happy with mine from Lucrin... a bit costly,but the leather is very high quality and I find the thin pouch very easy to slip in and out of any pocket. I also have one for my xoom. Just google Lucrin.

Ah, ok, in pouch style I can recommend this bag, which I own:
http://www.amazon.de/mumbi-Galaxy-N...D89I/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&qid=1337351242&sr=8-4
(maybe available in UK too, don't know.)
Great quality, real leather, perfect fit, very cheap.

Thanks - Great quality and choice of colours it seems..
would you mind posting pics of your case please? Can you please comment on practicality of the case - is it cumbersome to keep taking the phone out of the case everytime you want to use it or see who's calling?? does it offer much protection against a fall? cheers

Any flip cases that you slide in not click

I'm after a flip case purely for work to protect when it's in my pocket.
However I like to use the phone naked and so want a flip case that you slide the phone in and out and not click it into a plastic bit. I had one for my iphone. You can then easily take it out to use naked rather than unclicking from the plastic every time.
I'm in UK for buying
Cheers

Where are these from please, can you provide the links. I'm not that bothered on the looks as want it protected when in pocket, but remove when I want to use it.
The 2nd one looks like the one I had where you just slide it in, not click in some plastic.
Also I don't want credit card holders etc, I'll only use this case at work.

I don't understand the question Isn't it either a flip case or a pouch? SGP Crumena might be good for you if you are looking for a leather. I had it for my returned evo 4g lte, and it's pretty decent. http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/sa...g-galaxy-s3-crumena-leather-pouch-series.html

I bought one of these and it was shipped from China, http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=390659117876
Quite happy with it.

In my opinion the nillkin v series is probably the bestn in it's class, but that's personal, and I haven't received it yet. The no name moko slim isn't that good I think. That's what I have right now

I have also ordered the nilkim and waiting for it to arrive.

please u have the Link on the nilkin. is it on eBay?

The way the stand works is what I am looking for. I am keeping my eye out for the Speck Fit Folio, but this one looks interesting. Is it slim? From the pictures they have, it kind of seems it may be bulky. Do you have any pictures of it?

I have one and it does not support sleep/wake.

Just waiting for mine to arrive, it says clearly on eBay, smart wakeup, if it really doesn't have it u can return it, that's not my item on eBay but is similar. Also says 100% nillkin brand, depends on your model but
http://www.nillkin.com/english/proshow.asp?mid=2&sid=0&tid=3&cid=1&scid=3&id=3577&page=1

I bought a no name white folio case from eBay before ordering my Moko UltraSlim. I paid $1.79 with free shipping from China! It's not bad at all. It has the smart wake/sleep function too. Honestly though I do prefer my Moko UltraSlim which was around $15 or $20 (don't remember how much) shipped from Amazon.

It's bulkier than the speck fit. but probably the least bulky compared to all the slimbooks.

I bought one of these http://www.ebay.com/itm/360721223665?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 in black.
It feels premium for something so cheap. It has the magnetic wakeup feature as well fold points for a stand. Definitely worth a look.

Is that the V case from Nillkin or just the normal one? Wondering if anyone has received the V case as it's supposedly able to keep the screen cover closed.

Keeping the cover closed is another subject in the other hand it doesn't keep it closed.
