Anyone know of a case that looks like this?

I think out of the leather cases this is by far my favorite.. but $129?? I guess it's worth it to protect a $600 device right? What I like about it is it doesnt look cheap and it doesnt seem to add too much bulk to the device

Anyone see something similar?

There are sooooo few cases out right now. Not a big fan of the any with the exception of this one. There is a leather Motorolla Portfolio, but hard to find pics of it...and that get's mixed reviews.
I did pre-order the piel frama case...and was told it will not be "released until Mid April". I guess until then we won't have any new pics of what it really looks like.

From what I read about other cases they have made they really seem top notch. I read the leather is hand done etc.. I'm trying to find out if I can find a coupon code for cases.com to get it a little cheaper.
With all the other cases out there so far, I find one thing I like in one but really dislike another thing about it. That goes for pretty much every other case I have looked at..The only thing I dont really like is the price tag. lol But I think I can live with that more than a case that I'm 90% happy with. It looks well made and it has a simple classy look to it. I think I might go for it.

ok, they did offer me a 10% discount.. I'm still debating if I'm going to fork over that kind of cash for a case. Just in case the coupon code is a one time deal I will not post it yet. I will post it after I either decide to purchase it or not then I will post it here. I just dont want to post it while I'm deciding someone else use it and if it is a one time deal and I decide to get it I'm screwed lol

10% That's not bad! I heard Vaja may be coming out with a case too, but no clue on what it looks like or price.
If you hold off, I'll post some pics, but who knows when this will be here....can't rush quality
I'm using a moto silicon case with a skinomi shield....works okay, but want a portfolio case.

No experience of the Xoom case but I have used a Piel Frama with my HTC Blackstone for about two years. Still looks new and smells of cow.
Well made, quality leather, hence the price tag.

They told me it would be shipping in the middle or late April. I really like that case but not sure I want to spend that much for a case.. decisions decisions lol

I bought the stock motorola portfolio case for $40 bucks and it works perfectly. We're android users not iPad socialites... please don't spend $129 bucks on a case...
My case gives me decent viewing angles without breaking the bank.
Save that money and purchase some great apps for your device instead (just my opinion)

You can definitely see a difference in the pics of the quality of the leather though. The Kevikev case's leather kind of looks cheap in my opinion if you look at the red picture up close it almost looks like pleather.

You're right about the red one

A real leather case for GBP9?!? Amazon

At 9 squid, I took a punt with this case from Amazon, not expecting much:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B006DUTNU4
I am, however, quite surprised. The leather is slightly padded, well constructed edged etc and seems a similar build to cases by the likes of PDair or Proporta. The only let down is the clip holding in isn't grippy enough for me, so I have tightened it a fair bit, which helps.

Looks pretty good for £9, but I really wanted a book style case. I've taken a punt on a black one of these from Korea...

I've been eyeing this case. How's the quality? What about usability, is it a hindrance? And does it seem to be helpful against drops?

C'mon ... it's amazing :-D

Let us know what it's like - I'm liking the look of this case.

I am also quite interested in the case you purchased from Korea, please let us know your comments once you received the case.

Supcase review

Quick overview for one of the cheapest and best built case I have used
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qwRFAzS7QCg&feature=c4-overview&list=UURFzPAm9-Ci1AdaDejvEi0g

got mine about a week and and i love mine but i prefer my Air jacket more. (Just because it doesn't hide my motomaker back). one thing i had against it is that it fit crazy tight and i almost felt like i was breaking my phone when trying to remove it. it also made my buttons a bit more sensitive than i would have liked, but not to much that it would randomly turn on.

Yeah.. I agree its super tight coming off. Have to go slow taking it off that's for sure.

Thanks for the review: I was considering the Supcase. While you did point out the minimal face-protection: I found that the size of the protection around the front-sides is exactly what I was looking for as I am currently working near minerals quite often so having a bit of breathing space is ideal.

wow... :victory: Great and Great... thanks for sharing it..

I've been using the Supcase for nearly 2 months now and I've got the say for the price you can't beat it. The clear back option is great and I like it since it keeps the dimple intact!
Ergonomics for the win!

I must be the only person here or on amazon who did not like the supcase. It had a great fit but I just didn't like the hard plastic shell and sharp edges. I only used a few times then put on ebay. For a thin casr I much prefer my tpu case that was $12 cheaper.

My SUPCASE Clear/Black came in and I'm loving it. The only problem I have right now(which is ironic) is that it's actually too-loose around the power/volume keys which makes it hard pressing down on the keys.

Great review. The case looks breautiful. I just ordered one on amazon for $16.
Has anyone used this case with Shure SE215 headphones? I am concerned that the earphone jack won't fit through the case as the opening isn't particularly wide. Would hate to have to return the case if my earphones don't fit.

I see your supcase review. It's great. I want to know how much it with shipping expense?

[Review] Noreve Ambition Leather Case (Ivoire)

Hi XDA,
Time for another case review, again from the good people over at Noreve. The company, based in France, is well known for making extremely high quality, genuine leather cases for mobile devices and tablets. In total, this is my 8th Noreve case - that should be a testament of the quality and how much I love these cases.
As always, Noreve does an impeccable job with packaging.
As an extra bonus, you get a soft carrying case for your case as well.
Upon opening the box, you are greeted with that addictive leather smell. It's weird to be smelling your phone all the time, but the case just smells that good. There is nothing quite like high quality, genuine leather.
The case is very solid and feels great in the hand. This model is from the Ambition series, and it seems to be even softer than their standard
Perpetuelle series. Very comfortable to hold, won't slip easily, and even if it does, you're well protected in every way.
Here is the case with a look from the front. Note that you have a cutout for the indicator LED, and also the metal speaker grille. I personally love the metal speaker grille.
Note that they have left enough of a cut out for the microphone and speaker on the bottom of the device.
A shot with the case open.
As you can see from the side views, they is ample room for the volume rocker and power button. Everything is as it should be.
And finally, a shot of the back of the case, revealing the cut out for the camera, which is perfect. This is a model without a belt clip, which is personal preference. If you would like a belt clip installed, then Noreve provides both a choice of metal and/or plastic and no extra charge. Very thoughtful of them.
The only gripe I would have with this case is that the magnet is not quite strong enough. Perhaps it's only the model I reviewed here, but when you fold the front part of the case backwards (when writing a text for example) it has a tendency to flap around a bit, rather than being locked in place by the magnet. Still, not really a big deal, as your hands are usually gripping the phone from behind anyway while using the device.
Overall I would say that this is another fantastic case from Noreve. Haven't really come across a bad one so far, the genuine leather and protective qualities are always a winner with me. And there's just something about it being hand made in France. In this day and age, where almost everything of this sort is made in China from cheap materials, I really do applaud Noreve for sticking to the tradition of hand crafting leather goods. They also offer a staggering array of finishes and colors for your case, pretty much whatever you can think of, they have to offer.
Here is a link to the Nexus 5 product page.
Cheers!

Very well written review,
I enjoyed it.

If anyone has ever looked at premium leather cases like Noreve then you know how much these cases are. I am a fan of them, even though they really screwed up my order for my Nexus 4 lol. But growing pains of a small company.
These cases remind me of the old Vaja iVolution cases I had for my Sony Clie NX70 lol. I actually came across my old pda in my desk the other day. I was tempted to power it up lol. In any case, great review and I hope they improved in estimating the time frame to get the cases done. I waited 3 months without a word for my Nexus 4 until I told them to cancel my order. Not sure what happened, but that was my personal experience with them the first go around. I may go and try again, dunno. Depends if I feel like waiting a month for a case because of the hand crafting .

No offense of course to the OP, but is it me or does this case not look very appealing. I understand it is high quality and everything but especially for the 50 euros they're asking for I don't think it looks that great. It just looks kind of "mushy" to me. I also find it weird that it opens vertically.

None taken. People have different tastes when it comes to cases, this is just a good option which offers high quality leather.

That is very strange, I think you may have just had some bad luck. All of my orders have arrived within a week, except the Nexus 7 case I have from them, which was custom made. That arrived in 3 weeks.
I would give them another try because if you like leather, you will love the fit and finish of these cases. And long time no see! I remember you from the Nexus 7 sub-forums, but I have been absent for quite a while.

I provided a link, did I not? Instead of writing that sentence, which took you 56 keystrokes and 2 clicks, you could have just clicked on the link.

People who can read can click on the link to the product page to find out the price is starting at 50€.
Looks like the bump in the flap is a magnet to unlock the phone when opening the case?

Same, still have my 1st gen N7. Didn't see the need to upgrade to the second one as this still serves me well. I say go for the case, it was probably just some bad luck you had. Mine usually doesn't leave my house but I still always have the case on, it's just sexy damn it.

Leather case

I have been wanting a leather case for a while. Any nice cases with a brown leather back?
Nomad doesn't have one coming yet. Bellroy does but leather looks kinda cheap. Anyone have any experience with them?

the only one is the Bellroy at the moment, with my old phone I bought a Pierre Cardin casa and they were great but I think they stop producing them. I think we just need to wait, in the meantime, I purchased the google official case, really high quality and I do not mind it for now

I had a Nomad case for my Pixel 3XL and Pixel 4XL and absolutly loved them. I reahed out to Nomad a few weeks ago and they said they have no plan to make anymore cases for the Pixel line.

Bellroy does make one in numerous colors. I have one of their cases on my 3XL now, they're very good and weather well:
https://bellroy.com/products/leather-pixel-case/leather_pixel5/black#slide-0
And... they are ALL out of stock.
Go figure. I mean the phone was released or is still shipping and ALL of their cases are out of stock already?
Someone needs to fire that guy.

I bought this leather case off aliexpress https://m.aliexpress.com/item/10050...babb145a9d29679b103W.jpg_640x640Q90.jpg_.webp
Brilliant for just £7 and it is genuine leather on a pc shell. The turquoise one which I bought matches the Sage green and looks damn good. The same one also comes in full coverage version but I normally go for the ones with openings at top, bottom, and phone buttons. The surface is also textured for better grip. So glad I went for this blind buy!
P. S. It's actually a more greenish turquoise, the picture shows more darker blue.

That, just looks like the most pimpish version of a case you could get. I mean, wow. Just wow (no, not wow in a good way). You just paid £7 too much.
