Searched this Forum and web also but unable to find any decent Flip Type cover for Nexus 5. The only available one is the QuickCover from LG and it darn costly . Friends,Any suggestions of an alternate Flip Type cover??
Haven't really seen one like it. Something with a window or notification light hole would probably sell.
Subscribing to this thread because this is something I'm interested in as well, yet I've found nothing. Closest thing I have seen are these gaudy leather folio cases that use a fat curved lip to close and don't make use of the auto wake feature.
Also I found one called an icon Bella but it doesn't have much info. I asked the seller if it would support the auto wake feature and they haven't responded like 4 days later still.

Guys I am under a dilemma,whether to wait for the costly quickcover or go with bumper type cases from 3rd party vendors like spigen. Lets discuss the pros and cons.. of both types of cover hope such a discussion.. would be helpful for people in dilemma like me...

thx for sharing
Awwww Yeah! Amazing one! I'll buy one like this! Ebay, here I go!
Mine started ripping after about 9 months on the spot where the rubber edges of the case meet the actual case itself (The line that you see going all across, distinguishing between the two types of materials used for the case). All in all it was still a pretty good case, mines been through hell, probably why it ripped.
I just got mine on the mail today. It's black, and it's not cheap.
I decided to get one after reading so many good reviews about it. I haven't opened it yet, so wish me luck.
i love the case..... how may colorsto choose from??? anyone got any good seller from ebay to recommend??? thanks in advance
I do not know that he will not be used for a long sticky ~
But do not know whether there are other colors
That looks nice but it must be hard to pop the USB cover with it...

Hey could you say me what did u do when it ripped off?? Did you stick it?? Because I am afraid as it is slightly ripping off the edges...What case are you using now??
Where can I puchase one of these other than Ebay?
Ha! If you plan on getting one from Ebay, plan on shelling out $20. It's a cool case, but for now, I will stick to my $2 Hard Rubber case.
Too bad nobody's selling this over here... would love to try one.
I have been using the black version of the same case. Available at Croma stores all across India. Cost me around Rs.800 (appx $20). Real good proection, also adds a touch of class.
i have the black one but i,m not happy with that on my phone... make my phone bigger and the case from x10 ii is pretty good on scratches

http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-alumor-metal-case-sony-ericsson-x10.html
just google "buy x10 alumor capdase". I found to many to list all
Has anyone found the cheapest place to buy this case?
Nice case ! Has others colors ?
I bought one of the UAG cases for my S3 and it fits quite well. The screen slides on with ease and does not impair the use of the phone in any way, 100% of the buttons and screen are available. It also came with a nice screen protector. The size of it is minimal compared to the big otter box's huge size. The only downfall is the back is slippery. I give this case a 9 out of 10 total and if you cab find it cheap like I did, grab one.
Later

I have the case as well though there has been a topic about the and can be found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1826668
Welcome and share your thoughts on the thread. Also have fun reading what others think about the case.

Just sold my G Tab 10.1 and picked a 10.1 Note. I've been searching through this forum with no luck so thought I'd ask. Does anyone, hooefully Samsung make a book cover case that is the same as the Tab case? All I have seen is the magnetic book cover but it just lays on the screen. The samsung case I had for my Tab was magnetic as well but had a flap on it that folded over and held it all together.

Your correct there is a Galaxy Note 10.1 Magnetic Book Cover, Gray. http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EFC-1G2NGEGSTA
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ijrpRzV7V3U
Watch video ... your right no magnet on the front only on the back. This could be due to the fact that magnets can cause the S Pen function to go screwy, so your better off without magnets near the screen.
.
I have that case. I'm actually looking for one just like I hsd on my GTab. Their is a magnetic "clasp" that holds it together. Example here - http://reviews.us.samsung.com/7463/...-tab-10-1-book-cover-case-reviews/reviews.htm

There is one just like that for the Note 10.1, but it doesn't seem to be readily available in the states.
I saw an eBay listing for buying it from China a few days ago while case shopping, but I can't seem to find it again atm. I'll dig through my history and see if I can locate it.
Edit: search for "NEW Ultra Slim Case Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 N8010 Black" on eBay (I'll pm a link) It's about $12
Also, I'm a long-term reader, but new poster so it won't let me post a link to the YouTube video that shows it until I've posted 10 times. Blargh.

I was considering ordering this one myself, but was iffy on the eBay order and wasn't sure about how heavy it was.
Did your version for the tab add a lot of weight?

Just be careful with those cheap cases from ebay that look like the Samsung book cover (with no extra flap). They are knock-offs and the quality is horrible. There is no microfibre on the inside of the flap, just the same vinyl/plastic material as the outside. The magnets are too strong, so they interfere with the spen. The pen won't write within the 1 inch strip exactly on top of the magnets. You can also tell exactly where the magnets are by the sunken circular areas in the back part of the cover. The flap itself is very stiff and when you try to keep it closed it presses on the power button and causes restarts. I've bought one but I've requested a refund and I now have an original Samsung book cover on the way. It should arrive tomorrow.
This looks possibly promising. http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Folio-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B0088I9AX4/ref=pd_sim_e_2

Lots of people linked that one as their favorite in the original, now 50 pages long, case thread. (Worth reading through to get people's opinions on practically every case that has come out.)
The only downside I see is the clip on the front could get in the way if you wanted to use a BT keyboard on the case or if you wanted to fold the case back and use it flat on a desk.
The plus side to the clip is there are no magnets, and it leaves the tablet at a nice angle for typing in landscape mode.

Wow, i like this. but i dont understand why all the samsung made stuff has the fold on the wrong side. when holding like a book, the power button is in a very awkward position. Nearly every 3rd party case flips the device so the power button is in the top right not lower left. I reach for that more than my S pen.
Does anyone have httpFolio Stand Hard Case This case? im leary on an Ebay item i cant get anywhere else.... ie no reviews.
So im torn between This from Poetic or this from Moko. I typically dont like the leather on top of the edges look, but I like all other aspects. anyone have an opionion on either?
I dont mean to hijack the thread, but it seems relevant :angel:

I'm pretty sure that eBay one is the same case that The Apostle linked to earlier via Amazon I think both may be knock offs, but either way they cover the charging port when closed. One of the 3 Amazon reviews says teh magnets interfere. YMMV.
As for the ones you linked. I've just finished reading the Cases thread and possibly every review for all the Note10.1 cases on Amazon in my search for a perfect case, so I'll share what reviewers have summarized about them:
The MoKo has an elastic closure and pen loop that the Poetic doesn't have.
It also has a nice open spen slot (at the expense of leaving that corner unprotected from a drop.)
It leaves all ports uncovered and you can charge while it's closed.
Weight: 9oz
The Poetic has more card slots and a magnetic closure (which can supposedly sometimes interfere with the spen)
It offers more coverage for the corner with the spen (which I like) at the expense of making it harder to remove.
It also covers the SD card slot with the case. (Which is no big deal if you leave it in, but if you swap them a lot to transfer camera photos like I do, you would have to remove it from the case.)
Weight: 9.9oz
The Poetic was crossed off my list (due to the blocked SD slot), but the MoKo is still on it even though I was hoping to find a case with an uncovered bezel.

Cruzerlite just released wallet cases for the Nexus 5. I am considering getting one but I would like to see some reviews first.
Maybe also a comparison with the Ringke Delight Wallet Case?
Ringke is only $10.99 on Amazon right now...
It's been pointed out that the Ringke Delight (as with most other similar folding "wallet" cases) that the strap is attached to the body instead of the front flap. This makes it cover the screen and generally get in the way of operation.
Also when folded it will tend to hang over it.
This Cruzerlite version does not have that issue making it the more interesting option for myself as well. It however does not seem to fold into a stand position and the outter materials and colours leave something to be desired.

Looks pretty nice actually. Anyone have any idea if this sports the auto wake feature of the device like the official flip cover? Also, was this actually available at all or has it said out of stock since being listed?
I'll definitely be keeping a look out for these.

Since it is an intelligent case, I am pretty sure it does have the auto wake feature. Also, they were out of stock but it looks like they are back in stock now.
Any good cheap cover cases for the nexus 5?

I was about to make a similar post so I might as well post my questions here:
is there anything similar to the quick cover, that doesn't cost a kidney, and is available easily across Europe (suggested alternatives above aren't unfortunately) ?
I'm searching for something that doesn't add much bulk and would cost between 10 to 25 €...
Thanks !
Is there any wallet style case that have all around the protection like in the Diztronic TPU matte black. I don't like about the holes bottom there and in sides.. I want case without any holes, more protection!
