Just FYI i tried putting the nexus in the case I still have for the original nook and it fits perfectly. Not saying it fits in all cases but if you have one buried in a drawer somewhere, as did I, you may want to dust it off and check
Yep, using one myself right now. M-Edge brand or model, not sure which. Magnet in the front cover and good to go.
This would be awesome if it had the magnet.

nah, I like the clean OEM look.
jerryrigging a magnet on it is going to screw that up.
Look what came today!

This is actually a "pseudo" unboxing. I already unboxed it for the camera, but had some technical difficulties and had to do a 2nd take.
I'll do a full review after I have a chance to play.
can anybody see anything here
no problem here, thanks for the unboxing

I'm trying to edit the original post, but since I'm a new member, I'm restricted. I tried linking to the video using the "YouTube" tag, but it didn't work.
I'll edit the original post to include a direct link to the video.
If anyone can help me embed the video directly into the post, it would be most appreciated.
Thank you.

It could use better lighting but over all great description.

I don't get why anyone would get this... if you're going to get this thing just get the slightly better looking one right from Google Play. Even costs less.

The case sold on Google Play is completely different. It has a cover over the screen that you open like a book, and it's made out of TPU. The Incipio case is a hard case, with no cover on the front. The Play store also charges tax and shipping, so that $20 ends up costing $32.83. The Incipio case is only $24.99 on Amazon. Tax is about $2.37, and if you have Amazon Prime shipping is free. That comes out to $27.36, which is a better deal IF you are looking for a low profile hard case.

Hmmmm, yesterday they had the pink one and the black one listed. Today I can only find the pink, and it's temporarily out of stock. It did just come out, so I am assuming they are waiting for their stock.
Here's the link for the pink one:

There are differences between the two, which I will note in my review.
Thank you for the comments about the video. I'm sorry about the lighting. I don't have a studio environment.

Thank you very much!
seems like a pretty solid case that doesn't add too much thickness to the device. my only gripe is that it doesn't hug the borders enough, i mean if you were to drop it on a corner, it would still get damaged or scratched to some degree. please correct me if i am wrong on that
Not to threadcrap but for 25 bucks....doesn't seem worth it. A tpu case that's 4 bucks shipped seems to be on par with this case

Have you purchased both so that you have an actual comparison, or are you just assuming?
TPU cases add much more bulk than a slim hard plastic case. Just look at the pictures for a TPU case. You can see by looking at the cutouts for the buttons and speakers that there is considerable bulk added. The Incipio Feather case is much thinner. Similar to the Poetic Element case, which is also a slim fitting hard plastic case.

yes, but how does this compared to other hard shell cases from ebay for less than half the cost?
i've purchased hard cases from ebay before for phones and 'brand name' hard cases, there doesn't seem to be much difference...

I completely agree with that. I usually buy cheapos on ebay, too. But, I haven't seen many hard plastic cases for the N7. Just lots of TPU's. I actually went with the Poetic Element case for $15 shipped.
Has anyone purchased this case?

I'm interested to know if the magnets in the case cause any issues? Anyone know if they are sold anywhere else?

Guess nobody has this case for the Note II. I think the OP was concerned about the magnets interfering with the S pen which obviously the iPhone review wouldn't cover at all.
How does it stay in the case? I don't see any bumpers or sticky tape.

It has magnets and if it doesn't interfere with your s-pen it will mess up the magnetic strips on any cards you're foolish enough to store in it. Stay away. If you want a case like this get either a Spigen Snap or Spigen Valentinus.

I just got this off of amazon for $7 shipped. I must say the fit and looks are awesome for the price. I think the biggest thing I like about it is that finding the buttons on the back are MUCH easier with the case.I highly recommend it.

Can you post actual pics of it? Had this case in my cart for a while.
LG G2
Sure I will do it when I get to work. I'm considered a "case whore" by friends since I always buy a lot of em, lets just say I haven't even looked for another case cause I like this one so much

grip, protection...
what's the grip and protection like for your tudia case???
Can you try something for me?
Can you see if 1 Credit Card and 1 Drivers License fit inside the back of the case and still fit on the phone? Its a way to carry those things on the phone case.
I need a case that does this like I was doing with my current phone.
Thanks!

Its not slick if thats what your asking. I havent had one scare or fumble with it yet. The protection seems great for a TPU case. I have no doubts when putting it down on its screen with the cases bezels being the size they are.

I was able to get the case on with my DL and a CC in there. It doesnt fit very well, it creates a gap at the bottom and where the case meets the buttons on the back. Putting just 1 card in the case, you cant even tell its there. Keep in mind I have a AZ DL which is very thick compared to say a CA DL.

I totally agree
It's a decent case. I'm not a big fan of tpu style cases but this one is nice. I think it's a bargain at $7.
LG G2
If someone could ship this cheaper, we Europeans would appreciate since it looks great
But yeah, 20$ shipping (like, what the hell) basically cans the deal.
How does this case compare to diztronic tpu?
Sent from my LG-D801 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
I've used a diztronic back in the gs3 days and they seem close. Diztronic is a shady company though so I'd never support them again.
If wondering what I mean, search xda in gs3 forums for Diztronic.
LG G2
I'm also not a fan of the "lip" on the front and back of the diztronic case for this phone. Seems like it would trap lint like crazy.

Hey all,
I just got my Note 5 recently but have yet to get a case because I'm undecided! I've been looking at wallet style cases but the ones I've seen online for the most part look like cheap flimsy pleather and I'm not a fan.. However I came across this:
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Verus-Genuin...62049429657?var=&hash=item3d035cf899#shpCntId
Looks real nice, but I cannot for the life of my find a review online in any format about it. Does anyone have this case by chance or have any experience with it (maybe from other phone models)? I'd like some feedback before spending the cash on it.
Thanks.

It does look good but given that many of those folio/wallet cases feature magnets, I would ask the seller if the case has hidden magnets that may hamper SPen functions.

the case is great. great quality good protection. the only con is the magnet. even with the magnet i still have bought 2 of them for my note 4 and 5. eventually it will make a spot on the screen where the pen doesnt work. sorry i just checked the actual link. so this one doesnt look like it has the magnet. mine is the one with it. i can see there being an issue with keeping it closed without a magnet. i have 5 cards in mine and the magnet is needed.

I asked the seller before buying and he said there are no magnets. Hope that's true because it's one of the reasons I don't buy wallet cases usually. That and it adds bulk.
It looks nice but those pocket not so. Is there any leather case out there without the pocket on the left? I think magnet is a good idea to keep the cover close in a drop.
