Review: Cretouch Smarllet Leather Wallet Case for Samsung Galaxy S3 [High res. pics] - Galaxy S III Accessories

Here's my video review of the CreTouch Smarllet Leather Wallet Case for the Samsung Galaxy S3.
Pros
Great construction and build quality
Vegetable leather gives a nice look and feel
Aesthetics are good overall
Offers cutouts for all ports and buttons
Cons
Wallet functionality needs a redesign
- Adds too much bulk
- Case quickly becomes thicker as you put cards in the card slots
Expensive
Conclusion
I can partially recommend the case for females who throw their phones in a purse or bag; for males, the case is way too bulky for comfortable everyday use. Regardless of the user though, I believe when one is $75 for a case, it should be near flawless so I cannot recommend the Cretouch Smarllet Leather Wallet Case for the Samsung Galaxy S3. The case still needs some polishing.

Bought this case as soon as it was available through AT&T. Was very pleased with it (I have the grey/black) but have since then moved onto ringke slim lite. I do still use it when I need extra protection since it does protect much better than the slim cases. I think when I bought the case it was around $14 because AT&T hadn't put it into their system yet. Would recommend for sure, has style and great protection.
I like your taste in cases...
Here's a quickpic of my white S3 wearing the lightgrey/darkgrey incipio silicrylic. You can also see my Fiio headphone amp at the back of my desk, which my phone and computer are both connected to... for powering my sennheiser cans.
I think the grey/grey just looks a little nicer, IMO. Less stark contrast between white & black. Too bad there's only 4 color combos to choose from, unless you get one of exclusives from the carriers (blue/black, or white/white)

Ballistic Style Case for Cheap!

Bought this one off of eBay for $4.25 shipped. They have numerous colors and they usually go for about what I paid at auction via bid, buy it now for a few more dollars. Search "dual layer hybrid case s3" and you'll find them. Figured I'd give everyone a heads up who like the ballistic style cases because for the price you can't go wrong.
Now to my review... Fits surprisingly well, conforms to the phone tight. Buttons all line up fine, only negative is I had to trim a small amount around the charge port in order to get the charger to fit as snug as stock. As far as protection it looks as if it will do very well. Thick bumpers to protect the edges and a plastic hard case to protect the sides & rear. This case also feels way lighter and makes the phone feel much smaller than my otterbox defender did. Pretty happy with the case for the cost! Anyways here's a few pics.

Etsy Leather Pouch from Yard & Sons

Just wanted to post some pics of this pouch I picked off of Etsy, I have ever purchased anything on Etsy prior to this but there is definitely some good stuff on this site.
https://www.etsy.com/listing/167585422/brown-leather-nexus-5-sleeve?ref=shop_home_feat
Overall the quality of the pouch is great, the leather is real deal stuff and feels great in the hand however I think the company didnt have a Nexus5 in hand to test the fitment with, as mine is quite loose and a great deal bigger in width than my Spigen SGP Crumena case that my N5 fits in width wise but sticks out at the top as it is not long enough.
It adds alot more bulk than what im looking for in a pouch so I think ill have to return this one unfortunately. The quality overall is great though, maybe they will redesign it in the future, or send me one that is more suited for N5..
Pics!

Nillkin Dream Series Case (with clasp)

Just ordered this Dream Series case from Nillkin for my grillfiend's N7.2 (which will be a Christmas present):
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F91662G/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A1EU8BQXI93JVJ
As you can see from the photos, the clasp should provide stability in landscape presentation mode and protection while carrying the tablet. I originally bought Nillkin's V-Series case for myself and, as others have noted, liked the form factor and the reliability of sleep/wake mode but was disappointed that the cover didn't stay closed. The Dream Series case, while a tad ornate, seems to address that issue. .
I'm excited because this is the first time I've actually seen the Dream case offered on Amazon. I've been watching it on Nillkin's site for the past few weeks, but had only ever seen it for sale on Ali Express and the Chinese version of eBay.
I bought the black and white version because that's the color scheme my grillfiend will probably like best. I doubt the case will arrive for the next few weeks, but I'll take photos once it does.

Looks really nice man, would be very interested in something like that for myself if it weren't so ornate as you stated... I like the design of the stand, most of these notebook style cases fold into a tiny wobbly triangle at the base rather than what is pictured above...

Question [Review] Clear, slim yet rugged S21 FE Case From CaseBorne

I was contacted by Karl from Armadillotek Inc, he sent a bunch of cases for my s21 fe.
They are famous for their super duty case on XDA, but this time the slim armor does impress me!
Fits perfectly, very tight fit.

Feels good in the hand, not cheap/flimsy. The added weight and dimensions are perfect for me. Doesn't feel TOO slippery in the hand.
Raised top/bottom/ and camera area for protection, whether you place your phone face down or face up on a flat surface. Sides are flush with the screen. Button presses feel great. Openings are all in the proper locations.
Case works with wireless charging ). Company branding is prominent on the rear bottom portion of the case.
Overall, love the case and would recommend it.
It is $15.98 on Amazon, use coupon AMDTEK20 can save your 20%
