Hey guys,
I'm searching for a nice leather pouche/case for my Nexus7.
After a lof of research I've found 2 cases that are looking OK in my opinion, but I want to know if there's something better out there.
This one here is looking pretty good, but i dont like the colour and the strap.
The medium one in Coffee Black has got a better colour and i prefer real leather.

My brother has got this one, http://de.burberry.com/store/mens-a...851-palmelatto-leather-ipad-case/?search=true for his Ipad, something in this Style would be very nice.(But also cheaper )
So I wanted to ask you if you guys know a nice Case that looks the way I like it.

I recently ordered a Matte TPU case from a seller on ebay in Hong Kong. I like giving my phone some color on occasion but nothing overbearing or ugly. I dont like the clearish TPU cases with patterns because unless you get it in black or white (clear), the color looks awful to me against the black phone. So i decided to give the matte ones a go and i love it. The only down side is that i wish the buttons werent covered at all, it makes them a bit more sensitive but at least they arent hard to press and i suppose i could just cut it out. For now it doesnt really bother me.
I doubt these cases will provide much shock protection from a bad drop but i think they look good and are extremely slim. I went from using the Amzer to this and my phone feels naked now lol. Ill switch back and forth for when i feel like i need better protection. It feels great in my hand and slides easily in and out of my pocket. The plus about this case is that it doesnt have that hideous random red tramp stamp strip on the back like majority of the matte TPU cases. Im extremely anal about how my phone looks so that was a h*ll no. Also, youll see in the pic below that the front edges are a bit shiny, they arent matte like the back and i guess it adds something to the design. The material covering the buttons is the same thats around the edges. So if you wanted to attempt at cutting and freeing them from confinement, you already have an outline.
The seller i purchased from is out for the Chinese New Year but i think it says they will resume sales on the 11th or 12th. I purchased on the 23rd of January and got it on the 7th so thats pretty average wait time coming from HK.
I also tried out the "S" case that has a thread here in the forum, and way too snug for my liking and i didnt like the gloss next to the matte, so if anyone wants it i can mail it to you or its going in the trash. (i got it in black.)
Here are two pics, sorry i dont have one of it on the actual device but the best camera i own is....my Nexus lol. The itouch fails miserably at a decent photo. And yes remember it is flexible...

Hope thats somewhat helpful!

Then dont buy one. It was a couple bucks maybe? Its not like there are tons of cases out there that are worth the money so a little on the cheap side doesnt bother me. I wanted plain, slim, and color and thats what this is. I think its hard to avoid a "cheap" look when you spend 4 bucks on a TPU case. But anyway, thats what the review is for...to help you decide if you want one or not.

Haha I've been told a few times that I should but I don't think I have time to learn with school going on. I see like....3 girls on this forum so its kind of intimidating lol. The most I've even done for myself is make docks. I'm working on an icon set though that's been taking forever. Add me to gtalk...same name.
i actually got this case in white. It's actually a very good case for $1 and change. It is very slim. I love it. The buttons are easier to push then the ones on the amzer case.
Definitely worth the $1!!!

And at £12 each...

too bad not so many manufacturer produce case for HD2
on ebay there some seller that sell the HD2 case, but you don't have many option. just standard gel case or something like that
I bought two of these in Ebay and I didn't regret it, I recommend it!
Hello,
Just thought I'd post this to help those out who are ordering a case from Seidio. I just ordered the Seidio Surface with Kickstand: http://www.seidioonline.com/htc-one-m8-surface-kickstand-case-black-p/csr3htm8k-bk.htm
Unfortunately, most of their cases for the M8 are still "Under development," but I need a case and a kickstand is not negotiable, need something to use as my alarm clock.
Use Promo Code: TW10 for 10% off your order on their site (I guess this is their Twitter Follower discount code.)
Here's a really good youtube of it. Looks great!
downwiththebanksters said:
I'd love to see you do a review or a few high quality pics. I looked at a video of the M7 case and the kickstand was a huge carbuncle on the back. On their site it looks smooth, but I'd rather see a real one in action.

Will do! I had a Seidio for my HTC One X and it was awesome despite the kickstand not allowing you to charge the device (I modified it, and flipped it around to allow this) But since the ports are different on the One M8 it shouldn't be a problem. Hopefully this case is just as reliable as the last one, which saved my phone a few times from unintended drops.
Thanks. What colour did you get?

NP! Black. I'm a pretty standard color kind of guy. :silly:
I just got the blue, and the colour is really nice. What the photos don't show is it has a pearlescent finish, and is a nice soft touch finish as well. The fit is great too as the above linked youtube shows. Yes it's relatively big money, but definitely a quality piece. My only knock is the kickstand does sit way off the phone like a carbuncle. They should find a way to better integrate it in the design.
P.S. how did you get s-off? Did you have to beg mama HTCDEV for permission to do what you wanted with your $700 device?
Hi All,
I'm considering the Moto X as a replacement for my Nexus 5. I'm kinda undecided about wood vs leather for the back - but I was wondering, can the backs be swapped out easily enough? I'd then be tempted to buy a wood one, and a leather back later on if I fancy a change. I believe this was fairly common practice with the old Moto X - but not seen it mentioned with regards to the new one.
Thanks.
No, you cannot, the back cover is sealed using an adhesive. Go for the wood one, the leather will get worn out soon.
Thanks very much. I would take the wood over leather anyway, since it's a bit different. Just need to work out which wood though.. I'm keen on 3 out of 4 of them! I've only seen bamboo in person (it was nice, but lighter than I thought). Had a lovely feel to it though. I'd love to see and feel the others before buying but I suspect it won't be possible.

Try and watch some video reviews, read reviews on the web, high res pictures. These should help you decide by giving you a better idea. Use the thanks button instead of typing it out, much easier. Oh and , if your gonna put a case on it anyway, you could always buy the plastic back one and save some cash.

I saw a video where someone took of the back, it came of with some damage but I think a new one could be glued back on
Found this strange but interesting alternate Khaki color on eBay. No NFC Chip!
http://www.ebay.com/itm/A-Quality-L...-Door-Battery-Cover-NO-NFC-Khaki/151768131414
Anyone find any other colors?
EDIT: Gray!? Looks like puke green.. http://www.ebay.com/itm/Original-Gray-housing-Battery-Door-Back-case-For-LG-G4-/181828422444
The first one looks like the color of my old plastic army men....
The second one looks like the color of an old army tent or fatigues....
The price is ok but I wouldn't want one but that is just my personal preference, someone might really dig it.
