I thought some of you in the UK may be interested in this.

I just received mine today and it's a spot on fit for the Desire. I've been using a PD Air case for the last year with my i8910 and they are really nicely made.
You can't really charge the phone whilst it's in the case but you couldn't do that with the Nexus either as the sockets are more or less in identical positions. The other downside is the strong leathery smell that takes a few days to wear off when new but other than that I'd say it's the best leather belt case around for the money.
Apart from the LG QuickCover which is rather expensive, is there any other casing that has similar build and feature? I saw this in ebay and it seems to be supporting the auto wake up when flipping open the case. Not 100% sure though :S

I ordered the one you linked and it'll be here sometime later this month/early next month. I had a Nillkin slim case on my N4 that I was happy with so I'm hoping I'll have similar luck with the flip case. I'm just going to use a hole-punch for the notification LED.

Case with Smart wake up. Ordered this but didn't even know it had that feature. Took time to arrive to Europe from China but worth the wait.
Search ebay: MOFI Slim PU Leather Smart Sleep/Wake up Stand Case Cover for LG Google Nexus 5
I have a cruzerlite wallet type case and has the feature. I don't care much for it though. Got it in 4 days and that's pretty fast compared to ebay/china shiptimes which usually last about 10 biz days.
I have the nillkin case you've linked to.
Works well and protects the phone.
My Nexus 5 fell out of my pocket last night and landed on a concrete floor. Slight scuff on the case. N5 is fine no marks or damage

I have that Nillkin Flip case and I really like it. It stays neatly closed at all times and there is a wake magnet. It took 3 weeks to receive in the mail tho. (I payed 7$ all in).
Here is another Nexus 5 case that is compatible with the Nexus 5's auto sleep/wake function

I'm trying to find a case with a belt clip but I've only found one believe it or not. Searching Amazon I've found the same case rebranded a hundred times over.
Problem is, I bought one and it has a critical flaw. With the case on the phone, insert it into the slip holster (aka clamshell) and the railing of holster constantly pushes the power button, so every time I pull out the phone, it reboots! I though it was my phone at first. Anyway, all designs on Amazon are the same! Just overseas made and sold by differing names.
I checked eBay too
I have found some nice horizontal cases (with a flap) that I think will work but I'm feeling like I will never see a true clamshell or clip design for this device...
I don't pocket my phones at all. I find it ruins the finish and is uncomfortable to me.
Just a rant. Anyone know of a well built case that offers a belt clip. I'll pay the price for a quality case, gladly!

A crazy idea that might work....
I had an idea! The Axon 7 measures 5.97 x 2.95 x .31 and the Google Pixel XL measures 6.09 x 2.98 x .33. With my TPU case on, I think if I purchase the Seidio spring clip holster this might just fit the bill. The side rails might be cutting it close, but I am willing to take the chance.

I tried that one. It has a critical design flaw. When I put it into the belt holder, the belt holder pushes, and holds, the power button hard-rebooting my phone every time. I think the inner rubber phone case fits loosely which causes too much material over the power button. LOL Otherwise it isn't that bad of a combo.

Received my Poetic Revolution series case for my A7 today. I am very impressed by it thus far, especially by the built-in screen protector since there are no full screen tempered glass protectors for the A7 due to the curved glass. I don't plan on tossing my phone around to test out the durability but it feels like it is going to offer some good protection all around.
Is there any flip cover case with sleep/lock function, like the original?
Couldn't find any, on ebay or EU amazons, except the original from US which costs 55 $ with postage to Europe...
Nillkin, who has such nice quality and economy cases, has not produced an Axon 7 case.
Any suggestions pleaseeee ?
I'm very happy with the one given in the box.

You can buy the original from ZTE or B&H. Both dropped the price to 9.99 USD. B&H I know ships internationally-don't know about ZTE.

Please report back when you get it, as I'm very curious how it works with signal - every metal case I've ordered in the past for my other phones has reduced the signal slightly to significantly. I had thought the slightly wasn't a problem - what's a decrease of 1-2 bars when you're at full strength anyway?
The problem is when you're in a poor signal area and you NEED that 1 bar and you have to take the phone out of the case to work!
On another note, I wish that someone would make a simple backless bumper case - I miss those days when I could use my phone practically naked with just a protective bumper around the sides.

Just got the case today. I ordered a black one and i got a silver mirror looking back. I will be sending the case back. The back is plastic and it very reflective. The only metal is the bumper.

Ah, sorry to hear about that - I was hoping you had good news, but it seems not only did you not get what you wanted, but have to go through a bit of inconvenience to return the product. I appreciate that you shared your experience, though- thanks a lot for saving me from the same mistake.
I've using my poetic case for a few months now, and thus far I have a few complains
- flaps they remain open after a while, I cut them off both recently
- screen protector awful scratches easily, removed it and used a higher quality protector instead
now is near perfect the case plays well with third party screen protectors and is VERY sturdy, has saved me from QUITE a few drops

I spent tons of time looking for cases for the Axon 7 and found that honestly there are 5 variants. The poetic tank case, the Spigen "rugged armor" case, the dual layer (rubber plus plastic) case thats rebranded by tons of companys, the "iron man" dual layer case (Also rebranded by various companies), and the belt clip one with terrible reviews because of the problem you stated. There are a few others that are some variation of the above or some see-through ones with bumpers but honestly none seemed satisfactory.
In light of this I decided to opt for ZTE's own hybrid material case. I haven't dropped the phone since I put it on but it is definitely sturdier than the case they included with the phone and the material is hard enough yet flexible enough that it seems like it would be able to take a hit without causing any damage to the phone. It also fits really well and is not bulky either. I realize this might not be what you're looking for but for some strange reason good quality cases are far and few between for this phone (perhaps due to some kind of licensing issue from ZTE?) so that case might be your best bet :/. You could potentially get some other kind of belt holster and have this phone sit in it while in the case.

Aluminum doom
Though this question was posed back in May , I didn't see a response answering the question so I'll answer it for you in case anyone else is curious . I purchased the Mirror case for $3.89 on eBay in piano black . ( I always seem to find better deals there and easier to navigate then the Big A but that's just my opinion). It is indeed a beautiful case and mine came in with no damage whatsoever . Indeed it is a tight fit putting the back on but once you get it in place everything does line up perfectly . The concern from another member was whether or not the signal would be blocked with the aluminum casing around the edges . The answer is a very easy yes . The signal degrades horribly . I only get two bars inside my home and with the case on it dropped to 0 with no signal whatsoever . It does get some signal outside but it's not worth using this case if I may be missing important calls or messages from clients . Sadly it's just a beautiful case with poor execution with the materials involved . Fortunately I didn't lose much on the case itself . I really wanted this one to work strictly because it looked so awesome even though it's not great when it comes to protecting the phone itself in a drop . Hope this helps if anyone else was curious about the case.

Hi all
Bought the metal version of the sw3 in may last year
Was perfect for me as I needed a watch that looked ok with a suit but would track my runs
All was fine until November when I noticed fine cracks in the plastic part surrounding the watch face
These cracks worsened over the following few weeks until the watch was unwearable
No problem I thought, I'll return it under warranty,which I did
Just received the watch back with a note saying not covered under warranty!
How can sony sell this as a premium product and then not support it
Has anyone else had a similar problem
mine cracked from the junction of the metal and the plastic had to use this to glue
http://www.resistol.com.mx/es/productos/pegamentos-de-montaje/resistol-no-mas-clavos-multiusos.html
it looks a bit bad but still usable
How old was the watch when it cracked?
an alternative
I have a silicone one but I now use a metal strap by using an adapter. I bought an adapter through this site: https://www.shapeways.com/product/T9NVRLAJV/sony-smartwatch-3-adapter-22mm?optionId=58575196
This adapter is not the best but I find it usable and far more cheaper than an official one. I have used it 24/7 for a month now. No problem so far.
There are adapters for other strap size (20 mm, 24 mm, ...). You can also order them in different colours. This site offers discount or free shipping sometimes.
Hope this helps

Whoa - that definitely looks rough. I had both sides of my band break at the metal/plastic interface, but was able to repair with superglue - looks pretty much as good as new and solid after a month.
Also bought the shapeways adapter and a silicon band for sports/exercise. It looks fantastic.
Same here
Metal version purchased 1 year ago, still under warranty, USB protector below the watch is broken and the support for wrist strap too, and it is not covered by Sony.
150€ repair they claim. Simply wore every day since I bought it. Not abused. Programmed obsolescence. Very disappointed of Sony.
I've noticed the amount of cases for this phone is extremely scarce. I recently purchased the Cover-On case for the device and I love it!
I purchased it from Walmart.com for less than ten bucks.
https://www.walmart.com/ip/CoverON-...l10=113490522&wl11=online&wl12=142811276&wl13
Shipped to the house in a week.
It's an extremely solid case and it adds a nice firm feel to the device. It has a plastic outer shell with rubber corners and bezel. It also has bumpers along side the camera to allow it to recess the camera lens when setting the device face down. The kickstand is a little thin in my opinion but it's nice for table top viewing. My son loves to use it for nursery rhymes on YouTube. Long story short, you can't go wrong with this case for less than ten bucks.
I believe from my experience from Axon 7, that only the original ZTE case supports sleep/lock function.
Can be easily found at amazon.com at about ~10$.
Pity it's not available in Europe, as the amazon.com postage/customs from USA to EU, is 18 euro!
If anyone finds it in the future in Europe, let us know please.
I am confused as to what you mean by sleep lock function. I've had no issues with my case so far.
