Ordered mine already.
Isn't that basically a super-classy version of the pouch that comes in the box?
Yeas, but it is 'supper-classy' .
Better quality leather, with no outside seam - so fits really well without extra bulk.
Tooo each there own, tho i wouldnt shell out any money for just a pouch like that, im happy with the one i got
nice but........
........a bit too expensive. ill be sticking to the stock case.........
thats nice and all but i think the stock case does a fine job at scratches
i bought a white hibrid case from ebay just to try it....and guess what...dude is really nice....and was only 4 pounds. screen protector+hibrid case=powerfull shield.i love it

Ordered Black.

Why waste money on a pouch case when the one that is supplied with the Leo is more than good enough?

Why do you need to decide for other people that the supplied case is "more than good enough"? Please let people judge for themself. If you don't see the point of something, please be quiet, no need to post your opinion in that case. Thx,bye.

I'm not deciding anything for anyone, if people wish to spend good money on another version of what they already own they're perfectly welcome. But this is a forum and posting opinion's is what they're about. I'm genuinely curious as to why someone would buy this.
I hope this helps but feel free to ask for an elaboration.

Do you really not understand the reason that people want a good quality leather pouch instead of a cheap looking fake leather pouche? I can't believe it! You have to be joking me!
Why do people buy any kind of luxury at all? Did you every think of that? Why do people buy a vase of 5000 euro when a vase of 2 euro functions the same: you can put flowers inside. Let me tell you something about life: People don't buy only for the reason that something is practical: people buy by emotion.

Bad example, I couldn't think of any reason to buy a vase full stop, never mind an expensive one.
As for the emotion side of things, I'm well aware of that. I can't see how that applies to a phone cover but each to their own.

The lesson for today : It applies on everything that people buy that has to do with luxury.
That's what I tried to explain and that is the reason that I took a extreme example of the €5.000 vase
But to be frank, emotion applies maybe even more then average when it comes to leather accessories. One of the biggest luxury icons at this moment is Louis Vuitton. They also produce leather accessories. Louis Vuitton made a revenue of almost €2.000.000.000 last year. I hope you get the point now.

My pda/pocket pc/smartphone has been my most used device and is one of few things I have always had on me for the past 8 years. Whatever device I have at the time holds a high value to me, so I have always spent the extra money for a nice leather case. It's kind of a fashion accessory along with protection for my most important device. I usually spend $50-$100 for a custom made Vaja, Noreve, or PielFrama case. It's the same as buying nice shoes or clothes... it's something that I wear, as it's usually attacked with a belt clip. Smartphones are the modern day pda and they hold a lot of value to people. People practically have their lives organized and stored on these devices. It's an accessory they always have on them, like shoes, clothes, jewelry, handbags, etc.
wow !!!, next you lot will be argueing over the price of leather handbags. as for the op's new case, too posh for me, i like the (free) cheap looking stock case.....
LV should produce nice pouches for our HD2s! lol
tbh, this Sena case really looks nice!
Hi Guys,
Looking for a decent high quality, hard plastic snap on case that doesnt add much bulk to the phone.
Anyone know of any?
Nice one....
I'm new so can post a link but search for: LG CCH-120 Kick Stand Hard Case - LG Optimus 2X
Looks good! had any hands on with it? loving the "with Google"
No but it looks very good. I have pre-ordered one as I'm quite clumsy. If Otter Box do a commuter series for the 2X I'll get one.
Have a look at this one.
I have ordered on of these. Everytime you purchase something you can also have a look at your phone.

Guys, this is like a wallet & a phone case. I've seen many people take their wallet & let it rest on the dinning table whilst paying. This occurs in cafes (outdoors too) & very public spaces. You may lose both since they are tied together. Very risky...
I work outside and here it rains a lot. Its tempting to buy Sony Z1 or Samsung S4 Active. But damn, its boring phones!!! So is there a way to keep LG G2 dry?
The best would be a case, but if not, what do you recommend?
not sure while back I read about a company waterproofing phones with a special coating. Maybe worth a google

Thanks. I did before posting but didn't find anything useful. Still, have ordered it now, seems like a beast of a phone.
I think bachera was referring to something like this:
http://www.smartplanet.com/blog/thi...pany-will-8216waterproof-your-smartphone/9792
Article is a bit old so not sure if the company is still in business & doing this or if there are others doing it as well. Sounds really good, but until I hear of people repeatedly getting great results, I am a little hesitant. Especially since you have to send the phone away for a few days. I think I'd prefer to go for a good case.
More than a few days when I send it from here. Nah a good case would be nice.
The Active is a bit scary to me since ATT will only replace it once for water damage and from what I read its a temporary promotion.
If water resistance is a priority you might want to wait and see if one of waterproof skins that wrap your phone instead of a case do become available for LG G2.
However, your ports wont be usable and low or no sound i presume?

Just a heads up to anyone interested in NeverWet who hasn't used it. In their video they show the guy waterproofing an iPhone... But, if you actually buy it ($20 @ Home Depot/elsewhere) it says (on the packaging) NOT to spray it on electronic devices (which totally contradicts their promotional video). I bought some just for the hell of it and it works (for the most part) but it does leave a nasty residue and tends to flake off as time progresses. Just an FYI.

The Samsung clear view cases they look real smart but seem a bit pricey at 40 to 50 pounds depending on the colour I think Cheers Tony
I like it but the front cover scratches way to easy. I have had mine for 24 hours and its already scratched up!
I have read good reviews on this clear case.
http://www.amazon.com/Galaxy-Spigen...3WVE/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&qid=1429730159&sr=8-2
It costs a fraction of what Samsung is charging for theirs. Plus, it works with wireless charging.
uhh can i see what you are talking about OP?
I just ordered this, unfortunately it says it won't be here for about a month. I doubt it's going to look anything like the stock photos though.

If you were clever enough you would have taken the time to search "galaxy s6 clear view case" rather than commenting saying you dont know what im talking about.
Anyway, here it is (see attached).
not famous
Sorry! This is not famous at all
I have both Clear cover and Clear view cover. They are pretty good looking, but unfortunately the durability is laking: around 24h is enough to get firsts scraches. For the price ( 24€ for 1st and around 50€ for the 2nd) I'm a bit disappointed, how could it ever last a year with such vulnerability ?
Though it offers a pretty poor protection: metal edges aren't covered at all, and after first drop, get a bad scraches on aluminium. Fortunately I get a replacement for pixel problem, so my phone is bright new right now.

It would be nice is Samsung would get this **** together and have product available for sale on their US site. Every time a new phone comes out they are months behind in getting accessories out.
More clear look on Samsung Clear View Case.
very nice case, when devs mods on this case then it will be brilliant
Yeah the case itself is very good looking and very sleek. There's a lot og good reviews about this case as well so might be a bang for buck case thus far.
The Samsung S7/S7 Edge are both great phones that pack one of my favorite smartphone cameras to date. When I first read about the announced prior to MWC, I was excited to see a first party camera lens accessory especially coming from Samsung. For those of you that don’t know Samsung makes some fairly good mirrorless camera’s which is why I was excited to see their R&D going into this set up. Although it took Samsung a few months to release the Lens Cover in a few select markets that are not the US, I am still happy that I was able to get one. The seller I bought it from stated that Samsung was only letting retailers buy limited quantities because they are not producing a huge number of these which further explains the limited availability. I really hope Samsung takes this set up seriously in the future and continues to make a lens cover perhaps with more options in the future.
Unboxing
https://youtu.be/hrJ85uaA_-M
In the box you will find a case, wide angle lens, telephoto lens, and a nifty carry case for both lenses. The case is plastic, with a felt lining, but before you dismiss the plastic looking leather Samsung made it feel just like their Note 3 back panel. If you remember what that feels like it has a “soft leather/rubber” texture that is pleasant to hold.
The carrying container is made out of a plastic like rubbery feeling material as well, but I wish they made the covers easier to snap on and off. Both lenses fit perfectly inside the case as you would expect, and it keeps them from getting scratched.
Each lens is very well made out of aluminum that has a semi-polished finish to it. I have no doubt these lenses will hold up to the test of time, although I’m not sure I can say the same for the case. While the lenses are metal, the case has plastic threads which concerns me. I wish Samsung used a stronger material for the threads so it won’t wear out over time if you plan on using the case often. I am going to send Samsung an email about that to see if their warranty would cover wear/tear on the case threads. Other than that small issue I think everything is very well made.
Case
On the case you will find cutouts for all of the buttons, as well as a fully open bottom for whatever reason: I don’t particularly care because I’m not going to keep my phone in this case unless I plan on using the lenses. One nice little feature Samsung added to the case was a very small (cannot emphasize that enough) grip toward the bottom. This reminds me of a DSLR grip, but it really doesn’t do much to be perfectly honest; I would much rather have a bulky LG G5 camera module hump on the case to give you real grip since looks don’t matter. Seriously look how massive the telephoto lens is, then tell me if you care about an ergonomic grip being added to the case. I would not care given functionality over looks especially for photography. Samsung also added a very minimal lip so you can lay your phone face down without scratching the screen. It’s the little things that matter, and Samsung seems to hit the nail on the head everywhere but the case threading material.
Pictures
I’ve been toying with both lenses all day despite the typical horrible weather here in Pennsylvania. Since today was windy like most summer days, I found it difficult to shoot good pictures via the telephoto lens as I planned. I posted some samples in the later pages of this OP for people to view, but I will add more as I take them. I really like the magnification you get via the telephoto lens, yet it is not without issues. The phone will not focus at distances closer than it did without the lens in fact it might even need a little more room to focus with the telephoto lens installed. I also noticed that it has issues focusing in general on small objects with this particular lens. Samsung could correct this by adding a setting to the camera app to account for the additional zoom, but I don’t think they will. Everything else about this lens is fantastic including the versatility it gives you when shooting your normal pictures.
Telephoto
As I move onto the wide angle lens I wanted to mention how I’ve never really been a fan of wide angle lenses in general, but I’ll do my best to be objective. With this lens you get a much larger field of view as you might expect, and it really does add a nice bit of extra view-able scene to the picture. With any lens you will get distortion closer to the edges of the picture, but these can be cropped out if you so desire. I found the wide angle lens to be a great little addition that I plan on using often even though I was not a fan of them before. All of the wide angle pictures came out looking great no matter where I shot them.
Update [6/12]:
I've noticed some focusing issues while using the telephoto lens (you can't zoom in/get closer to an object that normal i.e. no macro shots with it). Other than that small hindrance (if you want to call it that), I've been enjoying using this lens for the past couple of weeks.
Telephoto Samples
Telephoto 2
Wide Angle
I wouldn’t expect DSLR quality pictures from this phone even with the additional lenses, but you can expect much more versatility, and better quality for different scenarios. I would buy this case again in a second if it was offered for another phone with an equally capable camera despite the few small issues I’ve come across so far. This set up is a first (at least that I’ve seen excluding Sony’s odd set up), so don’t expect pure perfection. The quality of the lenses, and pictures is far superior to any 3rd party accessory you will find, plus this is made specifically for the S7 Edge.

Bottom Line
If you love photography, and the camera on this phone I cannot recommend this case enough, buy one!

I'd say go for it if you're into photography. I wouldn't get it personally because I don't really go out or do a whole lot outside of my home. Here's an article with some more information on it, but I still don't see any pricing. Depending on the price, I'd say you're better off getting a smaller/compact camera, but if the actual user reviews of this phone's camera are just as awesome as the ones in reviews and by Sammy, it might be a good investment if it can take pictures near DSLR quality.

Mobilefun in Canada has it up for pre-order with a 2-3 week ETA. It costs $116.99 + $20 for shipping since they require tracking and that's the only method with it. At that price I think it's worth it assuming they are at ast decent quality lenses. I've seen Samsung list it on their website outside of the US only so we might not get it here without importing it which is unfortunate. Currently Samsung's Swiss site has it being released during week 19 this year aka May 9-15th which more or less fits mobilefun's launch window.
Just a FYI I have the case on order and it should be here in the next week or so. You can expect a detailed review when I get it

It's pricey with the mandated express shipping, but then again no OEM accessory is cheap. I really hope it's worth the money because I've been looking forward to it since it was announced.

Not a problem! It says they're due in stock within 1 week; let's hope that's the case! Samsung's Swiss online store has them listed as being in stock during the 2nd week in May so it's entirely possible that they will be out next week in North American. I still doubt any US retailer will carry them in a timely manner if at all due to how obscure of an accessory it is. Samsung also hasn't said much about it, so they either don't want to sell a lot of them, or hope they will sell themselves.
My estimated ship date is 5/3 did they give you one?

Same, I was starting to get the feeling that Samsung wasn't going to ever release it until someone PM'd me a link to it earlier this month. I've seen it on Samsung's website but that's about it (not their US one implying it won't launch here)
I'm really hoping that date is accurate since it does match Samsung's posted one on their Swiss site more or less as I mentioned; let's hope for the best!
I thought this would sell a little better or at least garner more interest given that it's an OEM accessory meaning it should be high quality give Samsung's fairly good mirrorless cameras

That's the reason I'm getting it. I'm hopeful the quality is good, better than those after market kits. I got Samsung's OEM leather case and I'm happy with the quality so I really hope the camera lense case is better because the price is 4 times the price of this leather case
