I was holding back buying the Asus travel cover as months ago there were leaks showing a premium cover from Asus. But after that there wasn't any mention of that cover anymore...will we ever see that emerge or is it dead?
The funny thing is that there are already Chinese copies to be found on eBay which have exactly the same design, but I'm not going to buy a cheap case anymore, after I bought the smart case ultra slim cover which just started to fall apart today. Literally. And it never fell on the ground.
All other leather cases are too fat, and ugly. So does anybody know if the premium cover will be released soon? Otherwise I'm going to get an Asus travel cover.
BTW: what is the slimmest available nexus cover? Besides the smart cover that is. I'm not going to buy that again.
I would look into the Speck FitFolio case. I have always been impressed with Specks quality and the customer service.
Personal experience with the FitFolio: great fit with all the features you would want and none of the bulk.

Thanks for the link, the case really looks pretty nice. But as I want minimal weight I went for the Asus travel case. I want the slimmest design and it doesn't have to provide the biggest safety as I won't be taking it much outside anyway. I only want it to keep it safe from scratches.
But is really a shame that the premium cover never happened.
I also really wonder why no third party just took the travel case concept and put a magnet in. This would be the perfect case for me. Slimmest fit and magnet, but no additional bulk at all.

Sorry to resurrect an old thread but would you link to one of these Chinese knock off cases as it seems the official thing will never arrive. All I can find is news over the product not any where to buy it

Like this? - http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Purple-Ul..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item4d08a7e3fe
That's the 'Ebay case' with a magnet that everyone on here raves about, it only lasted me a few months before the plastic started to crack, I wouldn't suggest getting the above unless you fancy getting 3-4 and swapping them when they break

I see, I have one similar to that already, when someone said about copying the design and it being Chinese I figured it would have the nexus logo on the back. I love the functionality of my case which stands in landscape mode up right or flat I was just hoping for some thing that fits more snug around the edges with the nexus in side it, there's a few mm spare room.

I think an excellent option is this combo:
Genuine leather case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008A1XN28/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
With a TPU case stuck inside instead of sticking the Nexus directly to the case http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LJKPHK/ref=oh_details_o05_s00_i01
Any TPU case will do I just put that link in to have both items links to products at Amazon.

Not sure if this is correct as GameStop.com is listing the premium covers on their site for release on the 3rd September. Quite a while away. I'll just be getting a cheap case in the meantime.
Hi guys,
I have ripped off the NFC receiver tag from this flip case: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Leather-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item2576d52e30 and put it onto this Aluminum Battery Door Case Cover: http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/Colors-N...071185?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19d62721d1 today.
Unfortunately I can confirm that this Aluminum Battery Door Case Cover does NOT work with NFC. The metal paint layer on this cover must somehow interfere with the NFC signal. This is a bad trade-off of making my phone looks better I guess
thanks for share your experiences

No worries. I'm quite disappointed because the silver metal back door looks great, but I think I'll be able to live without nfc for a while.
Nah, I haven't got the OEM back doors yet. They are coming really really slowly. I'm still waiting for the metal bumpers too.

UPDATE!
Ordered the TUDIA case from Amazon. It does the trick. It's not the same as her old soft silicon case for the S3, but she can fit her ID and credit card under the back and removing them is not much of a hassle. Great case for $7 btw...

Hi all,
My fiance LOVES the cheap jelly, silicone case on her S3 because she can put her ID and credit card behind it and leave her purse at home. It's an ill-fitting, crappy case, but it does the trick. It's loose enough that she can just take off the top bit and remove/insert her cards.
We now both have the VZW G2 and I'm looking for something similar in use. I'd prefer she had a real, fitted case that had a CC slot or pouch on the back, but I don't know if the weird camera/button layout will allow for it. Does anybody have any ideas?
thanks!

Thanks all, but I should've mentioned the flip cases drive her batty.
We had the Samsung flip cases on our S3s and she hated the whole concept.
I'm just surprised there aren't a lot of Android wallet cases. My brother has one for his iPhone 5 that is pretty slick.
case that holds credit cards.
This is what I use....

I love this wallet case so far, but limited space
Was pretty hopeless like most Verizon LG G2 owners because most wallet cases available on online were for international, att, etc versions - other words anything than ours.
A week ago curious about what verizon stores offered and found....
BELKIN wallet case- smells like real leather, holds cards, can fold into a horizontal stand and has proper cutouts in back. And it is NOT bulky- Price was $29.99 but used company discount 20%. Love it so far but fear that the plastic tab that holds the case close may break with repetitive use but supposedly the case has a lifetime warranty. We shall see how the tab holds up.
Here are some pics.
I keep a small screen cloth in between leather back and case that holds phone.
Also able to stuff 3 cards in holder with no problem.
And the notches where the card holder is located is a notch holder for three different angles for horizontal viewing.
Just bumping the thread as I found the case that works for this. Updated original post too.

I'm looking for exactly the same thing as you... I might end up getting the same one as you. I wish the case was solid matte black. If I can't find one I'll just order this. My Sprint G2 won't get here until Nov 8 anyways.

Hello!
I just wanted to know if anyone would know where a case like this is available for the S7E? If available at all?
Thank you!
Stilgut (my favorite) makes a real nice book type wallet case, I however use an ultra slim flip case, fits perfect genuine leather. Perfect cutouts. Can charge closed. Wireless charge works. Doesnt cover the edges. Not bulky at all.
Great customer service. I had one for my nexus 5 break. I'm sure from popping it out too many times. I tried to glue it and got frustrated and took a pic and mailed them saying never buy again. And they were like whats your address we will send you a new one.
I dont mind spending 45$usd for a beautiful case for my 700$usd phone

Thanks for the suggestion. I checked out the Stilgut line and they are nice looking cases, but I am just not a huge fan of the folio style cases.
I did find something that I was looking for by Distil Union. They make something that is exactly what I'm looking for.
Thank you for actually replying and giving a suggestion tho.
Did you find one that is specifically for the S7 though?

Not specifically for the S7 per se. I ended up getting the Distil Union Wally Jr. It's just a card holder that adheres to the back of any device (or on case of choice). I wanted something that doesn't cover my screen and is VERY minimal that doesn't add too much bulk like most wallet cases.

So I picked up the S6 at BB today and I needed a case quickly, so I ordered this ProCase on Amazon and it will be here tomorrow morning. For $10 its better then being naked until some decent reviews of good cases come out. I'll update this when it arrives.

It doesn't look too bad. One thing it is missing is a cover for the sPen, but so far I've only seen that on the Samsung cases.

Yeah, wth man? Does Samsung have an exclusive/patent for pen covers, or what?
I'm buying a cover today, don't for sure which one, but it'll have some sort of pen holder.
Let us know how you get on, I opted for the official case purely because of the pen cover so it'll be interesting to see if it stays in place
I have been looking through eBay and Amazon on a daily basis to see if there are any new cases being listed. Today I found one on Amazon with a case that has flexible material covering half of the S-Pen. It costs $10.99 with 8% discount. Here is the link below.

Great minds think alike lolol. Got my s6 at bb a few days ago and bought the same case from Amazon because this puppy needs a case and there are no leather ones just yet.
Good news the case you and I bought works very well with the s6 with solid corner protecting and the slim form factor works for me. With the case the s_pen sits where it needs to without it falling out so far. For the price quite pleased.
All the best

So as an update ,its been almost 2 weeks since I got my ProCase and I have no complaints with it (other then it doesn't hold the SPen any more securely then having no case. It folders nicely in 2 different different positions for watching movies. It seems to put the tablet screen to sleep when I cover it and covers the edges of the tablet nicely without adding to much bulk.
The only thing I noticed and may be a tablet issue not the cover, but sometimes I'm getting notification even if I'm not using the tablet (and the cover is covering the screen). ie someone sends a Facebook message and the tablet vibrates to let me know it got one.
What do you think about this?
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07T2MP8R2/?th=1
$10 Case
I also purchased this case to use until my Keyboard Case arrived. It is a perfectly serviceable case. It fits the tablet well and protects it.
For $10, you really can't ask for anything more. I'm satisfied with it.
I actually picked this one up which provides some protection for the S-Pen

It's not bad, a little thin, but I guess that can be good or bad depending if you want something lightweight or improved protection. They do offer a thicker model for a little more money.

Bought it at Amazon for $10.99
PROS
S-pen fits tighly in pouch
Sturdy construction
Sleep on close
Snug fit (see cons)
Cut-outs on right and left for edge-swiping
CONS
Not lightweight—is significantly heavier than previous covers I've used
Maybe too snug of a fit—had to stretch out the PU 'leather' for tab to be fully inserted

Thank you for your review of the product!
I did see another case last week that was very similarly designed to the Samsung book cover where it actually had a magnetic cover for the s pen. It sold out pretty quickly but kept it in my wish list on Amazon in case they stock it back up. I believe it sold for around $18. I leave a link below in case anyone is interested.

If I didn't already have one I'd buy it, when possible. I like it's S-pen cover design. I use my tablet 'upside down' (charging cable on top, and better grip in left hand—I'm right-handed).
Only possible 'problem' is weight. This one is listed as 11.2 oz vs the Dadanism listed at 7.7 oz. I added it to my list, though.
Thanks

Only con is a big one—as I feared before I bought it the magnet that holds the tablet on to the case interferes with the screen's ability to sense the S-pen.

I have both. First Dadaism (no attachment magnets), then saw post about Ztotop and it looked perfect, until I tried writing/drawing with S-pen and experienced the 'dead-zone' problem as shown in screenshot.
Since you are not having problem I wonder if they made changes to placement or strength of magnets???
Before I try to exchange mine, I just want to confirm that you don't have dead spots using S-pen.
Please let me know, Thanks!
