Bought a folio case on eBay , I think it might a copy. Packaging looked legit, but after comparing it with some genuine ones. The wording on the package is slightly different instead of just having the word "Case" and "Nexus 5x" on the front it says Folio. The real issue are the buttons , they have no feedback what so ever, they are not raised like on the original case and trying to wake up the phone or raise the volume takes multiple tries. I also noticed that the font on the fake case is more bold versus a sharper looking font on the original.
Buyer be aware
Here are some pictures
First picture is of a Tudia merge case just for reference.

It is a nice case I might have just got a defective one not sure. Contacted seller to see if I can get a replacement
Sent from my Nexus 5X
That sucks It's definitely a fake. I had to buy mine of Amazon...they still have a few legit grey ones left for the same price as there were at on the Google Store ($35). Unfortunately Google dropped them the very day they dropped the Nexus line and announce the Pixel. I have SCOURED the internet looking for original ones and the grey ones on Amazon are it! Every single thing on eBay (and every other place) are really inexpensive (read:cheap) knockoffs from China in colors that Google never sold lol. Even Adopted doesn't sell them anymore. Also, be careful on Amazon...their some confusion regarding exactly which case it is. The one you have here is not the folio, just the regular one, and people selling on Amazon have mixed it up too.
Anyway, I'm sorry to see people get burned like that. Just a suggestion...I would demand my money back instead of a repalcement if possible, but of course do what you want. Best of luck!
"Folio" is a known N5X case maker. They do copy the original one. Their price is usually around 7-15usd. If you pay for it more than that, then the seller scammed you.
I have some OEM Adopted cases that I have for sale. I have 4 non-folio light grey ones, and 3 folio dark grey ones.
I just received this case from eBay two days ago, it's fine. Just press a little harder on the buttons.
EDIT: What were you expecting from a 5$ item on eBay?
I purchased a knock-off case from Ebay myself (was maybe $5?) and I'm pretty happy with what I got. Its certainly not as nice as the original, but for $5, its really hard to complain.
The buttons were stiff at first, but have loosened up over time.
yupp my brother bought a case from ebay. and I did from google. i see the difference in build quality, the cloth on back is cheap. case openings are not very precise.(but workable) etc.
Biggest giveaway is the camera opening: not really angled/curved like the original. otherwise the fabric they use is just straight-up velour or whatever haha. Probably has a nicer feel than the somewhat confusing material that the official cases use. I swore I saw on on eBay just a few minutes ago that looked like it was suede; I'd definitely deal with a knockoff case for that material haha
Does anyone maybe know where to find original one if you're outside of US?
Found couple of them on eBay for around 15$ and they seem legit, but the shipping costs exceed the price twice (33$ or so, shipped from US to Croatia).
I cannot find them on Amazon though (neither com, co.uk or de). Any help would be appreciated. I'm interested in regular one, not the one with screen cover.

I bought the folio under the following link. The delivery took about 2 weeks but it is definitely original Google

Hi. Is it really the original one? It doesn't look so, judging from the price and the contents of this Chinese ebay reseller

Damn I was going to order one of those!! What does the retailer say?
Holy moly. I just started using one of these today while waiting for my Noreve case! Think I'm going straight back to the other case until it arrives.
I would send it back to the supplier/HTC and see what they say. Does not inspire me with confidence at all.

woahh thats not good! I got that case for xmas and its held up ok so far... hope mine doesnt do that...

My goodness , i was planning to buy it from my local htc distributer . Now i think im planning to switch to others .
Is this case actually leather or plastic like the sleeve one from HTC.
I have ordered a Noreve one but was also looking at the HTC one.
I think you've just been unlucky????
I think you've just been unlucky????
I've had the same case for nearly 4 weeks now - constant use every day and its still as good as new!!!!
Reference the question above - the case is made from leather with a felt lining - and it fits the phone perfectly without increasing its size too much - so unless your happy with something more bulky I strongly recommend this case..... really!!!!
As I've said - I think you've just been unlucky and you should ask for a replacement.....

Oic , i think i will reconsider again if you said like this . May be just sometimes we were unlucky !!!!
I looked at mine again yesterday in more detail. The right hand strap that has failed is considerably thinner and "weaker" than the other side. I am therefore not surprised that this happened.
Have ditched mine, gone back to a more secure case until the Noreve comes in. Not really prepared to risk a £500 phone in a case that can fail like this one just has.
The annoying thing is that, from a design perspective, its quite a good case. Just seems there are quality issues with it.

Looks like a nice case!! i didnt even know htc did cases!! lol
(I know its broke, but does anyone have a lin for a UK Supplier, or the name of the case so i can have a look around at them.)
Many Thanks

Damn!!! Was just about to place an order for this case but thought I would have a quick look for a review and bang - it's top of the list of threads!! Must be fate!! Not sure what to do now.

Hi,
I dont know why you would pay£40 for a Noreve case, when you can get exactly the same from ebay for £7!!

Re: My HTC Flip Case After 1 Day...
Is it the HTC HD2 Optional Leather Pouch PO S511? I think that, and the pouch are the only 2 "HTC cases" Here's a link to the Expansys page for it: http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=189819.
I had it on order to weeks from Mobilefun but I ended up cancelling bcause they were incapable of providing approriate stiock update information and ignored my requests for information.
I've currently got the Proporta Mizu Shell on order from Expansys.

My point is that the noreve case is £40 and the one on ebay is £7. so its not a matter of "you get what you pay for" its the same!!
Same holder. Full Leather, Black Flip Case!
MG
My Noreve case was £29.95 inc not £40.
If you take the time to look more closley they are not exactly the same but far from it. Im happy with my £29.95 Noreve Case you buy the £7.00 one. As i said before it is personal preference.
Normally these kind of things are not worthy of a thread but I had a hard time finding this case so hopefully I can help with this thread.
As of today, you can not find this on ebay, amazon, or other web stores found through google search
The only known website that has this is sprint.com and bodyglovemobile.com and they are both out of stock. I saw them in stock around 11/12 on both site so it's not those "we haven't updated our website" thing. It really is out of stock.
I called 7 official sprint stores in Los Angeles and only one store has it.
If you have a hard time finding it. Do a search on yelp and call around your local official Sprint store and refer to part number CZS5478Q. Non-official store are not owned by sprint so they will mostly not carry this accessory, don't waste your time on those.
The price is $24.99 + tax, sprint store currently has a 20% on entire accessory order if you buy 2 or more accessories. If you get a $9.99 screen protector you will end up paying $27.94 + tax. Just something to think about.
This case will fit Sprint, ATNT, TMobile version of the Note II and very likely international version as well. I believe there are also T-Mobile version and ATNT version of the bodyglove however I find the sprint model most pleasing to my eye.
Last thing I want to add is that this case is very slim. Doesn't add too much thickness like generic ebay tpu cases. The protruding protection edge to the screen is only about 1mm.
photos are not from me but from another XDA member cac9478 all credit goes to him for the wonderful photos.

Nice pictures... and firearms :good:
How does the back feel in the hand? Looks like kind of a rough texture.
Back feels great. It's not as slippery as the battery door. This thing is also super slim; exactly what I wanted. Better grip and a little extra protection without added bulk. Only thing less bulky would be a skin. If you're prone to phone drops this may not provide the best protection but I'm careful with my toys so I'm not worried. Had my friend who works for sprint pick one up for me. Saved me a few bucks

feels great, I change phone and naturally the case as well.
The embedding diamond pattern is about 1/4mm for the "height".
It is not rough on the hand.
This is the best tpu case that I ever purchased.
Looks very nice. Going between this and the Blue/Black Seidio Active Case w/ Kickstand. Called all the local Sprint stores, no stock. I have a cheap $3 case on my Note 2 right now that I will keep using until I can get a hold of something better.
Here is a link on Sprint's Webpage if anyone needs it.

Does ur version (T-mobile) of the case slides in & out of the pocket easily?the material looks alike with those spigen sgp ultra neo hybrid cases..& they r easy to slide in & out of the pocket...could u please take a picture of the front side?..thanx for the info..
if any of you guys are interested, i have a bodyglove case i got from sprint store couple weeks back.
I bought a case from seidio and i am planning to return bodyglove case back to the store.
If any one is interested, i will sell it to you for the same price i got it +shipping 2.95. we can do paypal.
Hmm...I really want the case shown in the photos of the OP. I am investigating and will wait around with one of the cheap cases til it is available. It's GORGEOUS!!
Ok, just found one (the last one) in a local Sprint store. Still interested in finding this online though. My girl will want one of these for sure!!
Just wanted to say thanks for this thread. I did manage to grab the last one at my local sprint store and grabbed one and I am happy with it. Wish the edges were a little firmer but it feels nice and doesn't add any bulk. HATE paying 25 for a thin piece of plastic but i guess it is what it is.

Anyone have experience with these cases? It looks pretty solid, but states they won't have stock until December 1st. It's also in the UK, so shipping time must be considered. I'm just wondering if it's going to be available somewhere else sooner or stateside!
Kind of digging the white, but I feel like the different color retention tab being visible when looking at the device could be a bit strange.

I had one of those cases for the transformer infinity and have to say I love it! Very protective, good for flat reading, good as a media stand and the materials (in the one I had) were very good.
Negative things I would say is that my transformer one almost fit the nexus 10, so I am suspicious of people passing off old stock as new, and the fit not being optimal for the new device.
Although at that price I might give it a go anyway, as I'm in the UK

These guys are expecting stock this week. I spoke to them on the phone and they are new, just for the Nexus 10 (which is why they don't have them in yet.) No carbon finish, though, which the Nexus 7 cases have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LuvTab-Go...d_Folios&var=580155521327&hash=item416e077518
That looks good, not too thick by the look of it. That is one of my main gripes with a lot of cases i see out there, take a lovely sleek tablet, and then wrap it in a thick bulky case. I can understand it if you are trying to protect your device, but for me, a case is for no other reason than stopping accidental scratches to the screen and to allow it to stand up. There shouldn't be a need for anything over the top.
The only thing i don't really like about that case is the grippers that hold onto the tablet. I would much rather a case with some alternative sleeker method of holding it, it just looks, i on't know, industrial?
found this Bear Motion $3.99 + shipping $4.49, looks similar: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-P...qid=1353350716&sr=1-48&keywords=nexus+10+case.
i went for one, for that price it's worth a shot.
Please post some pictures when you receive them, I hate these marketing photos, they are never accurate.

Can anyone tell me if these fold fully back when open, for when one is reading? Any idea about build quality?
Thanks in advance!
Sweet, I shall order this too!
Anyone worrying about the magnetic effect of the case? I've read reviews on LuvTab® for Nexus 7
amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B008FXSC9U/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Some were complaining about the bad magnet, which may damage the compass of the tablet. I am looking something without magnet. Of course I can buy a silicon case or those sleeves. But I want something that can create a stand. And it looks like everything that can create a stand is with magnet.
Seems like this has been delayed for a week or so.
I emailed the seller and he said the delay was only for new order not existing ones and that i should expect it next week
Hi,
Yes, the first set of orders we received will be dispatched as normal. Any new orders will dispatched after 8th Dec
1st December is actually a Saturday so it will be sent after that. Expect to receive the case next week. It will be sent 1st class. Hopefully it doesnt take too long to reach you due to the xmas rush.
Kind regards,

My case was dispatched today since i live in the UK i should get it in a day or two so ill post a video review when i do here
I bought mine from eBay. It finally shipped today.
Mine has been dispatched today too. Will probably arrive in 7 weeks given the state of the postal service!
I've just got my LuvTab case and I have to say I'm not impressed, in design its similar to one I had with the tf700, but the finish on the outside, whilst described as leather, is like a mock carbon fiber plastic finish, is pretty nasty if you ask me.
Will be arranging for a return, as I think there will be better quality options out soon
Just received mine this morning, I'm pleased with it it was exactly what I was expecting. Here is my YouTube video of the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLVukRxkBSY&list=UUIxVHXtT7nfqrYA51b0Xuxw&index=1&feature=plcp

I can highly recommend the alternative version shown here ("Black I"):
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00AFAZ1GS/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
Looks good, fits well and a bargain at the current £12.99 price.
im trying to get a case for my nexus 10 but wont cases like these where u need to constantly snap off the bottom part of the case to fold eventually break/scratch the device?
This cases are simple & get the job done, they have a few colors/options on Amazon, but won't ship 1-3 weeks, spoke with their support and they told me they are already shipping. If you use code BUY2GONE you get 3 cases for the price of 2
This comes in 11 colors ($12.90)
This comes in 5 colors ($5.90)
This comes in 8 colors ($5.90, these are normally ~$12...jump on the deal)
TONS of more designs for UK users, I'm a little jealous of the store, they start at £10.00, there's a couple on the site
They have 2 other designs on their website, but not Amazon. I'm sure they are coming soon!
NOTE: I am not affiliated with them, I just like their cases. I've used them on almost ALL my devices.
*MOD EDIT* LINKS REMOVED
I love the bugdroid
FYI the Amazon.co.uk store has way more choices for Cruzerlite M8 TPU designs:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00IZ737BE/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=electronics
/sigh I love the design of the bugdroid, but I need a kickstand. And for the price, the Spi-Force looks like a winner.
Just ordered a bugdroid this morning! Loved their cases in the past.

Aaaaand the pretty cases are now available to US shoppers via the Cruzerlite main website.
just ordered the bugdroid from amazon....will have to check out these others too. One thing I love about cruzerlite, their cases just get better and better with each rls.
My Bugdroid came today and it's going back. It was advertised as having button protection and it simply has cut outs. Not sure what type of "button protection that is but not as advertised.
From the Amazon description "Precise cutouts provide easy access to all ports while buttons have been covered for protection from daily use."
Looks like a cool case but I must have button protection.

Good luck with the return dude. Last time (first and last) I dealt with them I went back and forth for 6 weeks over a return just to be told in the end it was "now too long past the sale date" - yet I emailed them first the day I got the cases.

Good luck with the return dude. Last time (first and last) I dealt with them I went back and forth for 6 weeks over a return just to be told in the end it was "now too long past the sale date" - yet I emailed them first the day I got the cases.

@Amazon handles returns almost instantly, that's why I deal with them!
My M8 sent this...not me

My Bugdroid came today and it's going back. It was advertised as having button protection and it simply has cut outs. Not sure what type of "button protection that is but not as advertised.
From the Amazon description "Precise cutouts provide easy access to all ports while buttons have been covered for protection from daily use."
Looks like a cool case but I must have button protection.

Sorry to hear of your issues but I deal with Amazon partly due to their return process. I buy a lot of things and return many items to them all the time. Never had one issue. In this case, the description on their site is inaccruate. They never asked any questions and sent me a free return shipping label. They will even have UPS pick it up from me but my wife is always out shopping so I just have her drop it off.
Now, when dealing with merchants that are not Amazon fullfilled, that can be a different story. I typically avoid ordering items not fulfilled by Amazon.

Ya I do now too, learned my lesson. Thankfully it was a cheap one. I ended up finding this case on Amazon for $2.95 while the 2 colored options were $15. Next day they raised the price though. Nice case, comes with a belt clip/holster - even the clip on the holster folds backwards and words as a kickstand, pretty cool imo. (Case has a kickstand too, I came from using Evo's with em built it)

I also use their case for my Google Nexus 7, not a complaint to be had about either
I finally broke down and went with the Black UAG.
I really like the case I have now but know it offers very little protection. I tend to drop my phone a few times. If you want minimal protection this case might work. If the back were totally clear, I'd like it more. It is a soft TPU case but fits very well and has button protection.

If only the BugDroid had button protection, I may have kept it but again, I think I need more protection than the thin TPU cases provide.
I used a buy 2 get one coupon code so I have 3 coming for me for when my M8 comes in.

Retail price is lower than the Bugdroid case for the original Moto G. I like that these cases have cutouts for power and volume buttons instead of covering them up like many TPU cases. These are also available from Amazon.
Is it really available????I have bought one of these case last saturday, still waiting.....No information.
Do these ones come with lint protection? My last phone got a good amount of lint inside the headphone and usb port and suddenly the headphone stopped working. But luckily their was a thread on xda which mentioned how to remove lint using scotch tape and I was able to easily remove them.

No, I only meant to say that they are on sale now. Sorry.
Cruzerlite says they will begin shipping these in mid-October.
These are shipping now. Most colors are in stock.
Just ordered one in red from Amazon
It'll be here on Monday, Cruzerlite themselves would not be that fast, as I live across the big lake in germany
I'd buy one if it didn't have that ugly "C" Cruzerlite logo in the most obvious place possible.
I'm not paying money to advertise someones brand...

Are you in the US or somewhere else? Did you order from the Cruzerlite website or through Amazon? At the time that I'm posting this, every color is shown as in stock at Amazon. If you're in the US and placed an order a month ago, then you should complain to Cruzerlite if your order has not shipped yet.

That "C" is outrageous. I can barely sleep at night because of that shameless advert. Luckily, you've got other options -- like OtterBox, AMZER,
TUDIA, Fosman, Bear Motion, and... uh... cases with that nondescript M logo.

I am not in US. I am in South Asia. I ordered the case through Amazon.com. I am going to wait one more week and then contact Cruzerlite.

Isn't that a good thing? Most of the time when there is cover over the buttons, you need to press them really hard. With this case you don't have to do that.
Not necessary to press hard on good cases.

Can you provide some links of good cases which costs less than 10$ and has soft cover over the buttons?
I'll post some pics as soon as I get mine. I ordered it in Red as i'm a sucker for the color combination of red & black
Amazon said it was shipped today, so with a bit of luck it might be here tomorrow or on Wednesday
Edit:
It still might take a while, its being shipped to me from the UK, and I live in Germany.
No Idea when it'll be here
