Good value leather-effect case (UK)

Got one of these recently and it's really nice for the price. Fits well and seems well made. Magnetic clasp and cutouts for the cameras etc. Currently £13.95 at mobilefun.co.uk.

I nearly bought one of these myself Paul but instead went for the Samsung Executive Case....... and I'm not happy with it.
Like the case you kindly mention I don't like the leather surrounding the glass surface. Much prefer the case where you 'click' the Tab into place rather than slide it in.
Any idea's which would be a good case?

I've only used the one above and (for a short while) the official Samsung case. Not the executive one though. It was the sleeve variant. I really didn't like it. Very hard to get the device in and out of as it was so tight. I'm happy with the one I got, though may try a TPU style cover at some point.

Yes I have the same issue with the Samsung Executive case, it's a right pain inserting and taking out of the case.

That looks very like the red one I recently got

Good case, but it does have tendency to let the tab slip out of the top if held upside down (while taking out of a bag, for example)

Hi Jon (hey we're neighbours ). That does look very like mine, apart from the colour. I've not had the problem with it slipping, it's a snug fit. Unlike the official case, which was a strangulated fit .

I see we also share the same taste in where you purchased it too.
I obtained my Samsung Executive case from LondonMagicStore.
Excellent service from them, have purchased quite a few items in the past and have their Black Gel Case Cover Stand on order as well.

Juppa case

This one seems to offer good protection, a hard shell inside a book style casing. No mention of a magnet.

"5.0 out of 5 stars Fits well and good value 28 Dec 2012
By Brent46
Colour Name:Black|Amazon Verified Purchase
Arrived early an looked very nice. Applied screen proector (always difficult on big Screens) one of the better protectors I have used, Fitted Nexus very well and all charging an buttons accesible. Turns device on an off as you open and close. Very happy with for £5 I paid"

Bit annoying that he only paid £5 for it when they're now £12 but even at that it's not a bad price.

It just seems like another of a million already available cases. All these dealextreme/ebay cases all look the same to me, and a case is a case, they're all plastic, and they will prevent scratching the screen, that's about it.

I've fallen for this one

Nillkin case
Not the cheapest, but it seems a good finish, tight and clean all around

Does this mean you already have that case? If so, what do you think of the pleather quality wise?

I posted the original link because I saw a case that took two properties of common cases that are not found together anywhere else, the book style cover enclosing the hard plastic shell. It's too bulky for my use but that doesn't mean it's not going to appeal to someone else, it deserved a link for that reason.

INVENTCASE® CASE for ZTC

I just got a case/cover for my ZTC. As the title suggested, this is from INVENTCASE. Let's take a look at this.
I got mine from eBay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/361112178753?_trksid=p2060778.m2749.l2649&var=630453642867&ssPageName=STRK%3AMEBIDX%3AIT
This is a synthetic leather, not a genuine (according to them). The material feels nice.

This thing came with a magnet so it is a smart cover.. in a way. It will turn the screen on once you flip it open.
You got a cut out for the speaker at the bottom.
and top.
Cut out for Power/Volume buttons.
and for USB port.
Stand position.
One BIG cons for this cover is that the fitting is kinda loose so the cut out hole for camera won't align.
You can push it a little to make them align but it will slide back to the original position.
This will cause vignetting when you use a camera.
If you adjust your tablet the vignette will reduce but not goes away. Hugh downside for me.
So.. what's your opinion? For me I like this one especially the color. The camera problem, however, keep me looking for another case. Until I found the perfect one for me, this will stay on my tablet.

Thank yo ufor the photos and review. I personally do not opt for any case with bezels around, THat's like 10 years old design...

Yep, I personally don't like that either but I used to use the cheapo case with the mounting like the official Sony cover and it scratch my iPad.
So when I browse for the cover with some new color (I don't like the sony cover color choices) on ebay there are only some Chinese cheapo. I try to stay away from that.

Cheap design but thanks for the review. You should review the official Sony cover. http://www.sonymobile.com/global-en/products/accessories/style-cover-stand-scr28/

iPads are just very easy to scratch because of material used, while I don't beleive that the Z3TC can be scratched that easily. Moreover, good cases have the soft materials inside the case.

Review: Melkco Special Edition Kubalt Double layer case for the LG G4

Hello all,
I'm coming at you with another review of a case. This was sent to me from @adamsjordan75 - straight from Hong Kong. The case just arrived and I had the pleasure of opening up the package and installing the case right away. Please see this link for the promotional pictures first:
https://www.facebook.com/permalink.php?story_fbid=835591319823762&id=147941101922124
The package is nicely done. First of all, it does not look cheap. Secondly, it comes with a free screen protector and a cloth cleaner. I'll be honest - I didn't expect it to come with a screen protector, especially since Spigen's screen protector costs something like $11 + shipping. Third, it was shipped in bubble wrapped envelope to protect its goods during shipment. Keep in mind that this case traveled far to get to me, and it arrived in pristine condition.
Please see below for some pictures - will upload attachments via my phone.

Here are some pictures of the packaging, right out of the box.

Here you can see the clear cut-outs for the microphones, IR blaster, charging port, speaker, flash/sensors, and USB. The front side of the phone is protected by a lip - probably 1mm or so, to prevent the screen from touching the surface (desk, table, ie). The back is TPU/silicone material, so it's grippy, yet soft. In the beginning of the install, I had some trouble getting the phone into place and thought that the fitment was off. However, I carried my phone on a short walk and the silicone eventually wiggled itself in place. You can see from the pictures with the phone installed that the fitment is perfect. The case is not too tight, unlike my Rearth Ringke case, which makes me NOT want to remove the backing to swap batteries because it feels like the phone/back will crack every time I take the case off.
This case was on carrymobile.com, but as I am unable to locate a link there, I will link you all to Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...field-keywords=melkco+g4&rh=i:aps,k:melkco+g4
I plan to update my review in a few days, as I'd like to get some usage in before giving a review on that.

Looks like it might be a good one to grab. Looking forward to your update

I had the pleasure of using this for a few more days on my vacation. The case is fairly easy to clean, especially since I got it dirty repeatedly because of my attempts to take pictures of food while eating with my hands. The case comes off easily when you want it to, allowing you to access the sdcard or to swap the battery. I made use of this feature many many times in the past few days.
Definitely a thumbs up for this case.

Orzly Fusion Case for OnePlus 3 REVIEW + VIDEO REVIEW

So I chose the red version of the fusion case because red is my favourite colour and also matches OnePlus' colour scheme!
The case is built incredibly well and all of the cutouts for the ports (such as the headphone jack, charging cable and speaker) are in the correct places and are aligned perfectly. This case, while not the thinnest, is still very slim and doesn't add much bulk to the phone - and it also offers much more protection than thin cases.

The case also is thick enough on the back to be flush with the camera bump and has a cutout for the microphone and LED. It is also clear so you won't have to hide the beautiful aluminium design of the OnePlus 3 (especially if you get the Soft Gold version of the OnePlus 3 - which is not yet released but soon will be) and if you want to use a skin from Slickwraps/dbrand you will be able to without hiding it.
(I have a bought a skin, but haven't installed it yet and I'll try to update this post with pictures)
The buttons, even though they are covered with plastic, are still somehow very tactile and have indications on what the buttons do (VOL UP/DOWN + POWER) which is quite cool. The cutout for the alert slider is the perfect size but it is slightly hard to get to, which is a minor issue for me as I do not change it very much and it prevents accidentally changing it.
While others have had problems with using this case with the Orzly 2.5D Pro Screen protector, I have had no such problems and this promises to be a great combination for me. In conclusion, this is a perfect case for someone who doesn't want to hide the design of their OnePlus 3 and still wants protection against bumps, scratches and drops. However, a minor issue with the case is that the alert slider cut-out is quite hard to get to.
