Looking for a slim leather pouch for Nexus - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

So far I found this one: PDair black with red stitches. Any other suggestions?
I need something in leather and very slim. Thanks

Used to have this on my One X. It's a but pricey but amazing leather.

Reviews I've seen/read rather enjoy this one. Has a magnetic pull strip that pushes your phone out.

That spigen looks slick. Can anyone confirm whether or not this will work on the lte version with the OEM 2100 mah extended battery?

I imagine so. Here about 2:35 : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Fo_tEvZU-Y
He says he uses the GSM with the extended battery and I wouldn't imagine the Verzion one would be to much thicker. States it takes a day or two to "stretch".

The case looks sharp indeed. How is the little retractor doing? No damage to screen?
I had something similar for my old Palm Pre2 and it wacked my screen pretty quickly because the stitching inside.
Edit: is confirmed by a reviewer also:
The one critique I have with this pouch is that the strap you pull to pop the phone out is stitched into the inside of the pouch on the same side as the phone's screen. I have a screen protector on my phone, and am finding small dots/dents in the screen protector forming the shape of a square from the stitches inside the pouch anchoring the strap.

The case I got for Pre2 was the original model made by Palm and it still managed to damage the screen. I don't understand how was that possible as the screen was Gorila glass, but it had 2 thin mate spots that annoyed me the hell out.

I don't use screen protectors. Just a personal preference bit never liked them. After 6 months in and out of spigen pouch there is absolutely no marks on the screen. I mean not a single mark. I was thinking about cutting the strap and throwing it away because once the leather took shape of the phone I can now shake it out without using the strap and I found this to be much easier.
Leather looks better every next day (I went for brown version) and it feels really nice.
I promise I do not work for spigen but I have seen some of the other accessories they do and the quality of their products is second to none. Have a look how beautifully made are the ipad cases on spigen website. Can't wait until they make one for my nexus 7 as well.

Don't worry, I hate screen protectors also.

I have the Sena one for Nexus, very slim and very good leather quality.
And it works with OEM extended battery also.

I almost bought this until I realized it was almost 1/2 an inch to short. I emailed the company to inquire about the possibility of a case made for larger Android phones and received a reply later the same day " Let me go ahead and pass this along to Dave so that he can take a look, and maybe we'll come out with a longer Sleeve just for phone like that one you have there."

Case-mate Tough Case revision....

Anyone have or have used the Tough Case after the revision by casemate? I want this case for my phone but haven't seen any reviews on the updated version. Also can anyone confirm that it can be used with the GSM extended battery (2000 mah)? Thanks.

I've got mine 4 days ago... What can I say:
Fantastic material, good build quality and nice touch. It really looks good on phone and give nice feeling while I am holding the phone. Yes, it gets little "bulky" (can't easily put phone into the pocket and take it out....) but, I am pretty sure that the phone is protected very well now and that's most important It gives nice grip and no chance of accidentally drop down...
Issues:
There was a little issue with power button that doesn't fit nice and it needs few hours/day to "settle in" but now it's okay... No similar problems with volume buttons. Actually now I don't need to put "force" on power button, just nice soft touch and it works.
Also, when I type something in landscape position the lower keys on keyboard are little hard to press quickly because the rubber is almost 2-2.5mm higher than display surface... But it's really not a issue that serious.
No problems with any other holes on case, camera/flash works well, speaker also... usb and headphone jack can be used normally..
I'm really pleased with case
I can take some pictures if u want 'cause it looks little different on phone than on web...
Any other questions?
p.s If u decide to buy it, go on amazon/ebay to save almost half of the case mate.com price
I would love some pics... Thanks again.

As listed elsewhere, the revision opened up the USB port area and added a hole for the back mic.
I'm using the the white one now. It's not too bulky, and the buttons are easy to operate.
Also have one. The revision consists of more accurate cut outs & a mic cutout on the top of the battery door. This is by far my favorite case out of the 10 that I picked up. Very high quality material, great grip & durability. Top notch protection.

I think that's the revision for the POP case. Since you are referring to the white one and the tough case doesn't come in white.

How bad does it attract lint?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA
I got mine last week. No issues with lint, although I am not sure I understand how lint could stick to it. the outside shell is a hard plastic, with an inner rubber shell.
The one thing that I am not happy about is the ox screen protector is being rubbed by the case, causing bubbles; but that is more an issue with the protector & not the case.
Oh I thought the silicone was over the hard plastic!
Nope. cusion is on the inside, with the protective shell covering it.

[Q] Best sgs3 case

Hey guys I am a nood to android devices i have had my tmobile sgs3 for about 2 weeks and love it i was wondering what is the best thin case for the phone. one that wont add bulk and still keep the slim feel if you have a links to one that would be great thanks.

Sorry I can't link it, my work firewall will allow me to be on XDA/vBulletin and Ebay, but not Amazon.
Just put the description in either Google or Amazon and it'll come right up. Less that $6 and still slim and sturdy.

It is not the thinnest, as it does add a bit of bulk, but not as bad as it looks in the photos. It has two layers, and protects the phone well. First had one on my Galaxy Nexus and had to get it for my GS3.

It's not actually a Verizon case. I have the same one off Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008B85DNC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
It doesn't add any bulk and the kickstand is pretty nice. I've actually dropped it once, but it was from around 2-3 feet. It fell on the screen side, nothing broke, though.
I've got the ghost armor. Wouldn't really protect you from a drop, but keeps the scratches off or covers the ones you already got.

[POLL] Poetic Slimline vs Moko Ultra Slim

How many people have both cases and if you do, which one do you prefer?
Poetic Slimline - http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Function-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00E5NOXM4
Moko Ultra Slim - http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Google-New-Nexus-Case/dp/B00CKA1IYU
I think they are going to extremely close in specs. I imagine both would be made of the same type of material and both close to each other in most regards.
I really think it comes down to preference on the cutouts and warranty policy.

I think the biggest difference is how the magnets are implemented. The Moko has that clasp on the center of the right edge while I believe the Poetic has 3 magnets distributed along that same edge. I've also read that there may be some minor differences in the quality of the material and the fit of the plastic backing.
Moko
I picked up the Moko Ultra Slim in Red when it was only .99 still waiting for it LOL.. Will let you know what I think about it along with photos once I get it.

Yea I liked my old Poetic how well it closed. The downside is that it required a whole strip of plastic down the side. The Moko only has 1 magnet and less plastic I think.

This is for people who have received or ordered both. I know there are a few but I'm guessing not a lot of people have both cases yet since they've just started shipping out. I also ordered both but figured it would be a cool to keep a running tab for people who are considering one or the other in the future.

Your probably right for that this post is for people that purchased both but like me the person above this post Player posted a comment about the Poetic Slimline and I am pretty sure other people are going to be posting one sided comments too.

From what I've seen in the pictures, The Moko just has a gap where the volume rocker and power button is.
I prefer poetic as it provides better protection around the buttons and speakers.

I don't have both. I just read reviews on the forum and ordered the Poetic. Cannot compare.
But poetic offers 3-year warranty. Cannot go wrong.
The poetic warranty is really nice. They've replaced 3 of mine from last year, no questions asked. When the cover got worn, I'd shoot them an email with my amazon confirmation number and another case would arrive in a few days.
I think Moko has a warranty but unsure of the process. Both are cheaply made cases and won't last past a couple months of heavy usage. The "plastic" cover will start to break at the folds.

I'll take some better pictures tonight or tomorrow comparing both.
I prefer the Poetic though. It feels better on the tablet and looks better. The Poetic lays flat better also.

I just got the Poetic slimline today in the mail. It is an amazing case, and built well. The only downside is I can NOT get the auto wake/sleep from the magnets to work. This is something I have gotten used to with my 1st gen. Nexus 7, and once you have a feature, it's hard to live without it. I'm contacting Poetic for a replacement or return. Such a bummer, because this case is truly awesome.
If anyone wants, I can put up pictures when I get back home.

You can easily tell if it's a device issue just by running a magnet along the lower left of the display.

Cool, will try it when I get home in about an hour. I also ordered this case a few days after I got my Nexus 7 (July 26th), and just got the case today. I forgot I even ordered it, and it's by far the longest period of time I've had to wait for a product from Amazon. If it doesn't work, I'm going to email Poetic. I'll update with pictures.
Here are the better cokparison pictures I just took.
Poetic is first and then Moko. I also put them side by side to show the micro fiber difference. The poetic feels better with that part. Also like some mentioned be sure to be carfule taking it out as it does hold the tablet tightly. However if you take it out from inside first it should be eaiser. I did not have any issues also with back seperating.

Nillkin case

Just found this
http://dx-box.com/nillkin-ultra-slim-smart-shell-stand-case-for-google-nexus-7-fhd-2013-2nd-gen.html
I've loved the Nillkin cases I purchased for my phones (One X, One X+ and now SGS 4).
Tempted to purchase but still waiting on the cheaper cases I bought on Amazon before I pull the trigger.
$19.99 seems a little expensive. Does it has the smart cover function?
Looks nice and it has all the smart features...

Looks no different from the Moko or Poetic which cost less than ½ the cost.

In fact, I have. For my old (now sold) Nexus 7 2012.
Other than the markings there was no discernable difference between that and my friends' Poetic and iBlason(IIRC) cases. Both of which holding up nicely after a year's time.
Unless this N7 2013 case is different, I'll stick by my assessment.
Basically, you spend your money, and make your choice... :thumbup:
Most likely this one and the others that look like this are probably close to the same. As someone said in a different thread they buy them in bulk from somewhere and apply the companies branding.

Not uncommon, in fact, very common.
If you order a few hundred units, they'd put YOUR name on them. In nice, hot stamped, pseudo gold leaf even...
I must agree that there is great difference on the overall feel and materials of the Nillkin.
I have the poetic slimline and the moko already, and gladly shelled the $16 for one from eBay just now.
I had the Nillkin for my now gifted to nephews' OG 7, and knowing all brands I was really waiting for it.

I bought and received this case (from Taobao to Hong Kong)
I don't have the device with me at the moment so I will take pictures tonight with it in the case.
Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
Will update with fitment and auto sleep/wake tonight!

Initial impressions are that the leather is very soft and the back cover is made in very high quality (faux leather wrapped around the plastic shell) and see no exposed plastic bits. Furthermore the "baseball" stitching on the cover is very nicely done, and very pliable with no stiffness.
UPDATE: fitment is good and cut outs are accurate. Speaker grilles are properly cut and quality of the case is insane against the 11USD value. Must buy given the current case selection on the market. The case is light weight and made of very thick "leather".
The only minor quibble I have with the case is that the magnet doesn't keep the flap closed completely. Auto sleep/wake occurs without fault with a 1 second delay. (standard among cases). Finally the "Nillkin" logo is not very prominent making this a very stealthy case.
Rating: 8/10
Price is now $15.89 on dx-box.com. Also noticed they have a white version and it seems there are also Red and Grey version elsewhere.
Does anyone know if this will fit a 2013 model or is it 2012? It doesn't say anywhere in the description.

2012. no camera hole the back upper-left.
I have this case for my Nexus 7 first gen, and I love it, except that the front cover edge has started to split. Hard to explain, I'll try and get a pic, but basically the outer layer and the inner micro-fibre layer are coming apart at the outside seam. I'm looking for a similar case for my 2013 N7, not sure if I'd get the Nillkin again based on the previous experience.

Spigen Slim Armor, tons of photos and review

Amazon.com: [AIR CUSHION] Spigen Google Nexus 5 Case Slim [Slim Armor] [Infinity White] Air Cushioned Protective Case with Dual Layer for Nexus 5 - Infinity White (SGP10565)
I have been using this case for a day now and I'm impressed. The fitment is perfect and I love the color combo. The buttons for volume and power work great, they are really easy to press and are responsive. The cut outs for speakers, USB and headphone are perfect. The case is a little more white than the phone and has a mat finish similar to the white Nexus. I will let the photos do the speaking. Sorry for all the lint of the phone.

Actually all those complaints are directed towards the Ultra Hybrid model not this Slim Armor model. That one has a clear back and slightly heavier then this slim armor.
There's also the Ultra Fit and Neo Hybrid which I'd love to see in action as well.
Just ordered this! My phone should be here before this is, but thanks for the review. I had used a Incipio case with my Galaxy S3 and that was also a dual case, the soft part and hard backing. This however seems to be a lot better. Thanks for the pictures. :good:
Great pictures, thanks for that.
I'm interested to know if the Black version of this case is glossy or matt, from the CGI mock-ups on the SPG website it seems matt, but I'm not sure.
That looks great.
My black one should be here tomorrow. Hoping its a matt finish. Will let you know.
Nearly went for White but I was worried it'd stain easily.

Black is matte. Have one sitting on my desk right now waiting for my N5

How's the rubber on it? Is it tight and not very stretchy? Does it fit well into pockets without snagging?

Haven't tried it in the pocket yet. Sends very well built and sturdy. Girlfriend has one for the S4 and it fits wonderfully

Just curious because I had a similar design on the otterbox commuter that got real stretched out regularly.

I don't really see how this one could. It's also relatively stiff. I've had commuters for a few phones and never had a problem. Any that have stretched in the past from different companies I've had replaced at no charge

Can we get a thickness photo comparison of the phone to the case? I'd like to see how much it adds to the phone. I'm considering getting one of these for my n5

I can't speak to that on the N5 yet, but I will say they are thin. The one on my girlfriends S4 adds very little bulk and actually seems to make the phone feel better in the hand

I'm unfortunately returning mine. The power button stays pressed down and it was definitely bigger than what I expected. Thanks for the review though.

My power button was stuck down too
Returned it and ordered a new
Hope the next one works better. I'll post my results
Just checked the status of mine and it's in transit to my apt! Should be there when I get home from work. Looking forward to this - i've had my phone naked for 3 days now and I've had to be super careful with it
Man...I was drooling over the black/black SlimArmor a few days ago, but that white looks awesome. I think you may have just converted me to the "light side" Thanks for the pictures!
Yeah, I have the black Slim Armor. It's awesome. I did too have the problem initially with the power button being stuck, but I took the case off a few times and put it back on. Now it's perfect. To be fair, tho, only a slight tap is necessary to hit any of the buttons...they really are that easy to push and activate.
