(it also exists in "real leather")
does it protect the nook good enough? (including corners)
does it have a hole for the speaker? (I've also e-mailed tuff-luv about this one)
Availability: Expected 5th May
No one has this yet
I bought mine from ebay some weeks ago.
Whole top side is out as also the bottom left corner.
The cover has small holes at the back for the speaker.
In general is very practical for holding the nook in vertical or horizontal position.
Bought this when i got my nook one month ago because it was one of the few cases available in Germany. Seeing only the pictures first, i thought it was a bit ugly, but it looks way better if you hold it in your hands. The nook fits perfectly in and it is very well protected. the material is thick, so the nook gets extra protection, but feels different while holding (a bit thicker and soft) but not bad in any way. The standing functionallity, horizontal or vertikal is working great and if its placed it stands very firm. closing the lid works fine and it is hold well by a magnet. The case has also two slots for SD Cards, which you can not see on the pictures, but are pretty handy. I also bought the non-leather variant, because it was cheaper and i normally refuse buying stuff made out of leather and can say that it looks good and classy even if not made of real leather.
So this is a pretty good case (well, i've nothing to compare ) and with its standing functionallity it has a nice feature, so i can recommend it to everyone, especially if there are few alternatives as in Germany.
I hope i could help!
Thanks both for the quick response
I've ordered two and hope for the best!
Damn, UK store using .com instead of .co.uk p)
Anyway... Looks like U.S. Amazon currently (as of this post) only has either the real leather in black, or the faux in .... purple for the higher regular prices.
Got mine from EBAY at really lower price than Amazon.

This the the faux in black:
http://cgi.benl.ebay.be/TuffLuv-Tri...pCasesBags&hash=item2c5c0a55e1#ht_3878wt_1199
I have had one of these for about a month.
There is a hole cut out at the back for the speaker on mine, not small holes as one reviewer said.
I think it's great vertically but not that great horizontally, I don't really like the angle (too straight) and it's not that stable (the flaps are too tight I think).
Also I have to change mine because the velcro I use (top one) is now quite worn out for some reason and doesn't hold well...
The company is replacing it, no problem there, I don't have to pay for shipping.
But as pointed out it's a great case, offers lots of protection for minimal weight (I had the Sullivan Easel before, too heavy and not enough protection and "grip" but perfect horizontal angle), and I have the leather model which should be heavier than the PU one.
Nice quality product, comfy to hold when not in "stand" mode, but maybe not perfect though.
I'll see if the replacement I get is different (I hope the velcros are not the same type and the flaps are looser...)

I was bored at work today, so I started perusing the ebay listings for Dell Streak 5 cases.
I found this leather case and I must say, I'm quite impressed with the way it looks. I think I am going to buy one for me and my wife.

==============
Updated 5/17/2011
==============
it took 3 weeks to arrive from China, but I just got mine & my wife's leather cases in. Not a bad case. I'm torn on wondering if it's worth the $40 I spent on it though...
here are some pictures:

front view closed
back view closed (note that the opening for the camera was a bit shallow on mine. I had to cut it out a bit more. My wife's was perfect...)
open with flap/kickstand
side view
Other interesting items...
it doesn't have the cutout to insert the PDMI cord for connecting. Easy enough to cut it out, but I haven't yet. Also, the buttons on top (volume, shutter, on/off), don't have cutouts. there is an overlapping piece of leather that folds over the top of the streak to hold it in, or whatever. I kind of like it
Lastly, there is an elastic band keeping the case closed. I can foresee this wearing out, but nontheless, it's there and it works nicely. you can see it on the front closed view (first pic). Its a lighter brown stripe.
I give this case a 7 our of 10. Definitely better than the stock leather case from Dell. I figure I'll keep my otterbox in my car to mount in my holder and use this one in my backpack and moving about. It protects the streak quite nicely!
Nice like the look of the case.... Looks like PayPal is going to get a hammering
Thanks for the link
Update....
Just put in the order so will do Review when it arrives 10-14 Days i Hope,, coming from china

Very impressive
wow...nice indeed...i will wait for you guys to do a review first.i will get one after aswell.cheers for the tip.
Thats probably the best looking case I've seen so far. Love the stand feature! One problem I see is that if you need to take a picture, you won't be able to fold the front flap over because it would be blocking the camera, so you may have to hold it up wit the knuckle of the finger pressing the camera shutter button.
find it.nvm.just cant made my mind with one to buy!
Try the search function m8.
Hm, not a big fan of this one, and it's all because of how the device is held in.
I got the Dell branded leather book case and my favorite thing about it is that the actual piece that holds the phone is thin but very sturdy plastic sewn into the leather on the inside. The plastic covers NONE of the face of the device.
Then again, it cost twice as much, so I can see how this would be a good budget option for the same style.
I always have mine clipped into a my car dock or in a pocket that has nothing in to scratch it,I just use a protector on the screen. It is very nice though and could be a good one for long journeys and storage.
The problem I find is that it's too damn sexy to cover up!
Looks pretty nice
Just a brief one, I'll let pictures tell the story with some comments particularly for I9023.
Nillkin Case
Packaging - Professionally made.

Unboxing - Aside from the case itself, you get a package of screen protector with necessary tool to apply. According to some user reviews, the screen protector doesn't fit nicely as there are a little bit part (around 2mm) that doesn't stick completely both on top and bottom of the handset. The surface is kinda rubbery similar to Thinkpad or Motorola Milestone, while it is good for a grip it is also prone to attract dirt if you have white color that is. Selection of color will be: Black, Brown, White & Red
Overall look - I think I'm love ..look definitely sick for me
Fit for I9023 - Perfectly fit, it's specifically designed for I9023 dimension. It doesn't look bulky at all, I would call Momax case bulky (I have one) while this just fits perfectly in hand.
Bonus Pic
Nothing much, just my Audiophile setup. That earphone is a custom made YUIN PK3
im in love with the headphones.
That has the same look as the Incipio Feather but I think this looks much better in white. I've got the red feather right now but would have picked white if they had it.
Is there any place to buy this online?
I've searched on eBay but I couldn't find the exact one. I got it from Taobao (similar to eBay in China)
Hey guys, I did a quick search and found this site selling the white case:
(don't have enough posts yet for linkable URL)
www DOT obostore DOT com/nillkin-ultra-slim-hard-shield-faceplate-for-samsung-nexus-s-p-801 DOT html
I've never ordered from this site before, but for 9.99 plus free shipping, it doesn't seem like a bad deal at all.
I might order this case once my NS comes in.
Hope this helps!
Oh man, just noticed it's for the i9023. The fit's probably not going to be that great for my i9020..
Guess I won't get it after all. >:
You just made me order a pair of those of headphones, tough sans custom made I reckon

This case does not fit the NS4G. It is too big and slides around
I finally realized that the i9023 is slightly thicker then the i9020. Wasted 3 cases on it. Currently using a Ballistic case but its huge. Ordering the white one like the OP now.
This seems ideal for me..just can't decide for black or white...
Does anyone have this in black?
I did not found the black color... any help?
A few days ago I ordered the white one on obostore. I'll post my impressions as soon as it arrive

for the 9020 too?
*edit*
sorry...is a different one
That case looks great, I may have to get one.
Anyone in the UK interested in one of these? I am selling the black version cheap.
Please reply on the thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=21437070#post21437070
And its brand new!
this is black color ^^
I bought it from here

30gg china to Italy
sorry for bad photo but i did the photo with my lg optimus one
Can't decide between to get the silicone or the hard shell.
My worries:
Silicone will be a lint magnet and will get loose over time, but nillkin is a high quality brand so it might not happen.
Hard Shell will be too little protection and if I drop it, the phone might still be damaged.
thoughts?
it's very cool for my nexus s i9023 where i can buy ?

I have tried multiple Nexus 7 cases and this is the best one I have come across to date. I bought it last week at £6 and I thought that was a good buy. For £4 it is a steal.
The case does not add much bulk like other cases available. The quality of the case is also pretty good (even if it is pleather).
The cover is kept closed with magnets and it can fold back to make a viewing stand (similar to the iPad case).
Available in Purple and Black for £3.98

why can't I find this in amazon US?
!!!
TeckNet seems to be a UK manufacturer who actually seem to have their own stuff rather than generic Chinese imports.
Is there any way to get this in the U.S?
Without the folio type covering around the bezel, this case would've been perfect.
Bought one of these yesterday and it just arrived.
Fits the device rather well, very secure with the way the velcro folds in at the spine. The magnetic bits do the trick and the device wakes up correctly. All the appropriate buttons exposed.
Main issues I have is that the cover doesn't close 100% flat (comes up a bit at the fold nearer the spine), and the cover doesn't easily fold round to the back. Hoping it'll improve over time. Does feel a tiny bit cheap but I've seen covers 3-4 times as expensive using the exact same material!
For £4 it's a bargain.
Edit: actually, new problem - nature of it covering bezel means it's harder than it should be to bring down the notification area. Still think it's worth £4 though, if you haven't got a case already. Wouldn't pay more than £6-7 for it!

Looks much cleaner with the bezel uncovered.

The folding problem does go away after a few days of use. I agree about the bezel. If the device clipped in it would be perfect.
Received 4 days ago as backup for treegloo (not received yet after a month)... Great case for the price, suggested!
It arrived with 2 scrren protector!

The Nexus 7 clips into this case without velcro as somebody mentioned earlier.
Also, the magnets are so strong I can hang my Nexus 7 on the side of a metal filing cabinet using this case.
I ordered this case off ebay as well and it was shipped from California. I believe it was $10 with free shipping.

The case comes with these extended bumper corners which make holding the phone easier and provides extra protection from the Left Corner Drop of Doom. The weakest point of the case is the kickstand. The kickstand is flimsy and does not have a positive lock in place or a strong hinge when opened. the volume keys as well as the power key are covered. The charging port as well as the earphone jack are left exposed. The black rubber is harder than the standard TPU but not as hard as the white plastic that it is attached to.
All in all its a nice case

Nice case..found it too, with so many color variations..but they wont ship here..huhu..thanx for the review..
not a big fan at all, looks horrible!
Makes it look like the size of the Ziggy device on Quantum Leap show.
Well......
Im not sure how it makes the phone look bigger because the case isnt pictured with the phone in it.
Anyways I was in Sprint looking to see if they had gotten in either of my two favorites which are otterbox or ballistic and they hadnt. There was an older than me gentle man who was looking for a case for his phone and they had none and he said he was affraid he was going to break it. I explained that I understood seeing how my first one lasted 20hrs. I reached in my back pocket and gave him the case. He wanted to pay me for it but I told him it wasnt necessary and wished him a happy holiday season. He seemed a bit confused as well as the Sprint employees wonder why I was asking about a case when I am just pulling them out of my pocket giving them away like toys from Santa's bag. I think giving away an $8 freely shipped case to someone who will appreciate the act and may recipicate an act of kindnes to someone else this season is worth the small investment.
I have this exact case as well. It makes the phone too big for breast pockets, but still fine for pants pockets and carrying. I plan on only using it for when I need protection, but not as a daily driver. For the price, you can't beat it.
Ordered the same case. Do you have pics of the phone in it?
I have this case i think it feel really good in the Hand and looks good too. CLICK on the Link to see the Pictures

Agreed, but the TPU is a lot more stiff. Not certain but I would venture to guess these cases wouldn't do as well in drop tests.

Just got mine in the mail today. I like it, first tpu case ive ever used though so I cant compare it.
**NOTE** This review is pretty much identical to my Note 4 Pierre Cardin review! Same basic case, same fitment. Different color.
So I wanted to get my mom a nice leather case for her Note 5, and I found this Pierre Cardin case. I decided to go with the red leather for her, and she really likes it a lot!
They say it's genuine leather; it feels really good in the hand. It's not too slippery, and it's not to stiff. Protection wise, it's nothing special because it's one of those cases you just slip the phone into that doesn't have top/bottom protection. This case is thick enough and covers the corners enough that I'm sure if it dropped, it would still be ok. All access to the ports/s-pen work fine.

The stitching on the back looks cool; it's red to match the red leather that runs up and down the back, and around the camera. The brand name Pierre Cardin is punched into the back at the bottom, along with a logo.
There is a nice small lip that runs around the bezel so that you can easily put the phone face down without having to worry.
The cutouts on the side for power and volume are shaped well and easily accessible.
All in all, this is a really cool case. It feels nice, it fits the phone nice! This seems to be an UPDATED version of this case that fits better than the original, and I can report that there are NO fitment issues with this one as opposed to the older reviews of it.
