Thinking of pushing the button on one of these. Minimal bulk for a leather case by the looks. Anyone had experience with hoco before?

HOCO is a brand in HongKong,their leather cases are very good. My sister purchased a white one for her Phone two weeks ago, it fits well and the quality is ok.
Pushed the button and it will arrive tomorrow. Sometime in the next few days I will attempt to post a review.

Looks good!
I don't have any direct experience with Hoco, but I have had similar cases from other manufacturers for my previous phones in the past. All I can say is that pictures are deceiving...those cases add a lot of bulk to a phone, additionally the flap just plain gets in the way and makes the while thing even bigger. Just my opinion, I know this type of case works for some people or they wouldn't still be making them.

These are the cases I am currently using, but does not include cases I have tried:

Also, most leather covered plastic cases run at least 2-3mm thick. A case like the one in the OP would increase the size of your phone ~6mm in every direction. On a positive note it would give you a lot of drop protection over slimmer cases...if that's what your looking for.

Poop. Wish you'd posted a few hours ago, might have reconsidered my decision.
Still it's too late now so I'm going too have to try it out now and see if I can live with the extra bulk.
Thanks for your input.

It arrived. It's not bulky at all. So far looks like everything I expected.

How does this compare to the official Samsung flip case?

I'm glad you are happy with it..."bulky" means different things to different people. I know people who think that Otterbox style cases aren't bulky...And other people who think a 1.5mm TPU case is too bulky...LOL.
Please report back after a few weeks of use after the new case smell has worn off

I bought the samsung flip case,and I like it very much.
The only thing about it's very hard to get it out of the case.
I used it a lot in the car holder,so in and out.
Cheers
There is one problem with this sort of cases is that you cannot use a dock and does not allow charging with flip closed....

One further suggestion would be for a hole to view the notification led without having to undo the case!

Yeah that's the only thing I'm not really happy about. Other than that case is great. The usb thing doesn't really bother me ... so I have to have the case open to charge it ... It's quite safe sitting in my desk anyway. It's when it's in my pocket or bag I need to protect the screen.

It's not magnetic. There is a clip at the top of the flip that clicks snugly over the top of the phone. It seems very secure. I'm a little worried the leather hinge may stretch later and compromise the firmness of the clip but time will tell.

Can I ask if the back is lined with soft material and also how would this case compare with the official Samsung case?

I have 2 OEM Rezound batteries, OEM Thunderbolt battery, and a back cover for sale. I purchased the Rezound batteries for about $25 each in March 2012 and the original battery I have used since July 2011. The batteries are obviously used. I scribbled with pen on one of the Rezound batteries water sensor so I could distinguish between the two, but I can assure you that it is not water damaged. (Here is a picture of the small mark I made)
I will be sending my Thunderbolt back to Verizon, but I was told to keep the back cover, so I'd like to sell that too. The cover is in excellent condition with no signs of use, it's always been in a case. I'd prefer to sell everything together in a bundle.
PM me with any questions and offers please!
I just realized I also have a never used Black TPU S-Line Wave Case and another plain black TPU case for sale too.
How much?

The two Rezound batteries were sold to a buyer last week, and the back cover and S-Line case were just sold.
The original OEM battery and black TPU case are still available if anyone happens to be interested. Thanks everyone.
I have the audio extended surface case with Hyperion battery now. But I just saw innocel plus convert which is the rugged surface case but includes 2 battery's which go into the case. Should I change cases? The one I have now doesn't protect bottom or top edge and doesn't seem like they will release a convert extended for surface cast. Anyone have thoughts on this?

If your case doesn't have any damage and you still have the original packaging I don't see why not. They might ask for shipping fees and any price difference. Tell them you aren't satisfied with the protection

Well for the first one I posted, the Seidio Convert holster, you can't buy it alone. You have to buy the Convert Add-On kit thing from the Seidio website. It's the only only one of the three (Surface, Active, Convert) that they don't sell individually. (yet?)
However, the price for the add-on thing is 29.95 which is the same price they sell the other 2 holsters for. The only difference is with this one you'll get a couple extra pieces for the same price.
You could most likely sell them to someone who already has the Seidio Surface case or the Best Buy version(the Platinum case)... that is what the add on is for anyway.
Keep the holster, sell the other 2 pieces or just leave them hanging around the house. lol I'm too lazy to sell something so I'll probably just have extra pieces floating around my house.

Does anyone know if the Neo-Hybrid Spigen case will be offered for the HTC One in the future? I really love how it looks, especially on the latest versions for the iPhone 5 and the Galaxy S4, and was hoping that someone in this thread would have an answer/way to contact them. Thanks!

I did and they formally responded by saying they don't have any plans to offer any new cases for the HTC One but if their current cases sell well they may consider more styles like the Neo Hybrid and Armor series cases.
I formally responded saying that its ridiculous to only offer 2 boring looking cases and expect them to sell enough for them to even consider making other new cases & colors.

Lol,such a chicken and egg thing. I agree with you. Would totally consider the current cases, but the poor reviews and the blah colours/styles doesn't exactly scream "buy me" (well to me anyway).
I am very interested in this case too... Looks great. I do certainly hope that they will consider making one for our wonderful HTC One. Maybe if only we could somehow create a demand for it ( AKA spamming their facebook, twitter, etc. :angel: )..............
