Got this faux leather wallet case for the S6 Edge by caseen. Overall I give it about a 9/10 considering the price I got it for! The quality is fantastic and it has a lot functions (kickstand fold, credit card holders, cash pocket).
The case itself has really nice synthetic leather is almost real looking (but I confirmed before purchasing that it was indeed a thin soft kind of faux leather). I had a genuine leather case from them before for my ASUS Transformer T701T in the past, but I wouldn't spend the $40 I did since this is just a smartphone. Anyway, simply put the product is great as a wallet replacement that I use it for. I can carry around 3 credit cards and some cash with me with my phone and this has proven really convenient.
I've had similar designs in the past, but this one by caseen has a real luxury quality to it. The thickness of the inner leather holder is very thin. I had something else for my original galaxy S that was much thicker! This makes for a less bulky experience. I got it for a great price on Amazon the other day for about $7 shipped: http://www.amazon.com/caseen-Samsung-Leather-Pockets-Kickstand/dp/B00W649OO6
I chose this one due to price, but the thin quality faux leather and good stitch quality will definitely have me coming back should I break this. Already ordered the same for the regular Galaxy S6 for the wife. Hope my pictures do the talking, but I took them on my LG G2...
Thanks alan310 for a great review! Your pics look really good! The price on Amazon is a promotional one from a licensed of our dealer on Amazon. Thanks for getting the S6 Edge and S6 Ottimo wallet cases.

Hey fellas,
I normally post on the Galaxy S3 accessory forums but a few of my viewers have been asking for Nexus 7 product reviews, so I've gotten some cases in and will review them. The first I received was the Cruzerlite Androidified case, which is a simple TPU case that wraps around the sides and back of the tablet. It features a distinct 'android army' imprint on the back, which has a slightly matte finish to it. It's lightweight and offers decent protection, so it is a good 'average' case. It retails for $20 and comes in a myriad of different color options.
If anyone is interested in a giveaway of these, let me know. I can get a few in from Cruzerlite is there is enough demand
Check out my full video review below for more info;
Its a nice case, Id get one in red but IDK if a tpu case is worth $20.00

Cruzerlite is giving me a few cases for giveaway, so maybe you'll get lucky
Great job on the review ! Id love one in Orange looks really nice
I have an Androidified case for my GNex, and I liked the design (and price) of that version much better than the one for the Nexus 7. But I have to say it does scratch fairly easily. I treat my gadgets very gingerly, but just being slid around on my desk at work or put in my purse during traveling (in a pocket away from my keys and other things that could damage it) it still picked up lots of little scratches.
At any rate, I don't like the "lots of tiny Andys" design as much as the "one large Andy" version, and for $20 I don't think it's worth it, considering there are other TPU cases available that are also good quality for about half the price. For $20 you can get the ASUS travel case, which isn't everyone's favorite, but it has a nice feeling finish (due to the microdots all over it) and the front flap, which to me is the better deal. If you tape a thin magnet to the front flap of the ASUS case you'll have a serviceable smartwake function, as well.
Good review, it just helped me realize that this case is not for me, and I wanted to make sure people knew about the scratching thing. It's not terrible, but it can happen and it does mar the finish of the case, at least on my GNex anyway.

Hey guys I recently stumbled onto a new brand of cases. The brand is called imak and the cases they look pretty nice. They currently have 3 types of cases for the nexus 7.
The first one is called the imak slim. You can eBay search it as there are multiple posts of this case. Its like the incipio feather but much cheaper. It looks pretty high quality not like other eBay cases.
Price - $13.20
The third one is the imak cowboy. Its basically the same as the imak slim but with a more rugged texture. Same as a above just type in imak cowboy to find the case on eBay.
Price - $14.30
The third one is my favorite but a little more expensive. Its called the imak luxury. It is really good looking and is made from genuine leather. It looks awesome. The problem is that there is only one posting and it is shipped using economy shipping. Which could take up to 4 weeks to come. I'm going to be ordering one of these. The quality of the case is amazing. BTW there are only 9 left so get em while you can .
Price - $22.99
Ohh and did I mention you get a free screen protector with each case.
All these cases are on eBay.
I don't know man it does not look like good quality. The texture itself is not smooth and looks very tacky. I am not sure if I would be comfortable with a brand that says iMak on my Nexus...lol. It is cheap though compared to the other high end quality cases like the Noreve. That case cost me around $70 which is ridiculous price but you get what you pay for. The biggest thing I would be worried about is that this thing is coming from china. You might as well get the Speck nexus case for $35 which is really nice and genuine. Good Luck
I'm going to go ahead an order one of the slim cases. I will report back once I receive it.

Please report back with a review or some pics of the slim case. Im also thinking about it.
I'm going to get a blue slim case and a grey cowboy case. You can get them much cheaper at this site. Will post a review of both of them once I get them.

I used imak cowboy for my S3. The quality seems quite good and I like it because it's so slim and provide good grip for S3. Will try to look for nexus 7 cover.
I think you can buy better looking better protection for the same or less money, those slim cases you link to are basically book type covers without any edge protection
Hello everyone,
Ive been looking through this accessory thread ever since I owned my note 2 trying desperately to get rid of the crappy Body Glove case I was "borrowing" from Tmobile. Well, my three other cases came today, and after testing them all, I will tell you what I settled with.
First things first:
The Body Glove: I don't have any pictures of this crappy case, but you don't need any. Apparently I found out today after returning my version of the BG that they have OTHER styles which are far superior then the one that I had. But probably still pretty bad. This is the beginners case that you settle on if you have no idea how to surf the WWW. Obviously if you are reading this, you would never settle for this case, especially at the outrageous $30+ price tag.
Now for the 3 puppies that arrived today. I purchased these all on amazon.com.
The Seidio Active Case:
My initial thoughts are that this would be the case I would be settling with, especially after the youtube reviews... But after putting it on, and upon comparison, I realized that this case offers minimal protection as far as a drop would be concerned. It feels extremely cheap with the white plastic, and I had no idea that this is what I was purchasing. Not only that, but it has the same issue as the body glove - Slippery bastard. Sure the sides are rubber, but its an extremely soft smooth rubber that doesnt "Stick" if you know what I mean. Don't get me wrong, this is a pretty nice looking case, and I like the kickstand...but it's not for me. They also have other very vivid colors. As far as price goes, this case is a rip off at $30.35. Almost as bad as the body glove, but slightly cheaper and prettier.
The Ballistics Case:
This is the case that I read reviews about and heard is supposed to offer some of the best protection outside of Otterbox Defender case. Not to mention it looks good. Well, I opened this bad boy up, and noticed a few things right away. The rubber shell is not snug at all. When you snap on the plastic, it gets a little more snug, but I guarantee this case will fall apart everytime you drop your phone. This already had me worried. Another issue is the damn sides of the case. ITS CHEAP 100% SLIP-GUARANTEE Plastic! Damnit. I had really high hopes for this case.
If this doesn't already kill all your hopes and dreams, it makes your phone much more gargantuan. However, I digress, when it comes to drop protection, even though you'll be picking up the two pieces of your case + your phone, I would feel confident that the majority of impact from the initial drop would be absorbed into this case, before it falls apart. Price to protection value is decent at $23 dollars. Note that this case is cheaper now at $19 which increases the appeal of this case if you have a decent grip of your phone at all times.
The final case is the Boxwave OA3 Resolute:
So check this out, I only found this case on accident thanks to Slickdeals.net. I read reviews about boxwave's case for other phones such as the SIII, and I was prepared to be disappointed with this case. But alas, none of those previous problems exist and ironically, I am keeping this case even though its MUCH cheaper than all the other cases I've tried. This case almost looks identical in design to the Ballistics, which is what I think the company was going for. However, it is only one piece of hardened rubber. It fits very snug, and feels great in the hand. It doesn't make the phone as huge as the ballistics case, and I still feel confident that this case will offer a decent amount of drop protection. Another bonus is that it has a kickstand... but don't count on it for very long, because its the cheapest feeling kickstand you'll probably ever see in your life. I can almost bet money that it'll break with regular usage. So enjoy it while it lasts. You definitely cannot beat this case for the price as it was only $10.00 total. Not to mention its all black, no cheap looking white plastic.
I have attached all the photos I took. Sorry I don't have photos of the case on the phone, as I had taken the pictures with the note 2
Hope you found this post helpful.

Thanks!
Thanks for for the pictures. I personally am still waiting on the seidio convert case for the extended battery, I enjoyed the one I had on my thunderbolt. The case I have on my note 2 is the $12 (now $8.95) rugged case from ebay. The case uses the same style of synthetic rubber that the seido case uses and prevents me from dropping the phone. What are you going to do with those left over cases?
Good review, and I do agree with you on every point. While waiting for my UAG case, I'm using right now $7 ebay case (first one in my review link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=36730711&highlight=rugged+dual+layer#post36730711) - which is a copy of Seidio Active and also similar to Otterbox Commuter. Commuter has a higher quality inner rubber lining, without a doubt. But Active is exactly the same stuff, or I should say that ebay cheap knockoff is exactly the same design and quality as Active
Btw, the Boxwave one you can get from ebay shipped for about $7. Its not their original design, just a generic ebay case they purchase in bulk from China and sell conveniently for local us shippment.
Thanks for the compliments. I am returning the other cases to amazon for free since I said that they are faulty, lol.
Useful review but I disagree on the ballistics case after going through other reviews and more than enough websites I found the ballistics case was the indeed the case which had the protection. The box said 8-9ft drop so I tested it with a leap faith and the case phone stayed together with no damage and didn't come apart. Also you say slippery wrong again I can apply minimum pressure using my little finger and thumb dry and wet with no slippage. The case is made from decent materials not the stuff you would get from a 5 dollar case which I have been through several. The case offers better screen protection from laying flat on a surface screen down than any case with the added corner protection. The back is non slip also and makes good resting on a slanted surface say a car roof, bonnet or dash board. And with a year warrantee you can't get far wrong. In general its makes the whole overall grip better and nice to the touch. Feels very manly to and with a simplistic look. With the plastic support the case holds firmly all round the note. Down side only two colours black and white, little flimsy top and bottom of screen. Price is fair for the case was 22.99 off eBay stores, cheaper if you get a deal on it.
Amazon gives a 4.5/5 overall for 33 reviews that's pretty good like.

Hi all,
As above, looking for a leather pouch that is a good(not too tight) fit for the edge
Must either have a pull strap to get the phone out (and be a reasonably tight fit so it doesn't fall out)
or
Must be a sensible fit with a flip magnetic clip to hold the phone from falling out
Anyone seen any that are released yet for UK buyers?
Thanks!
Reiko or Cellbee. Both are on Amazon. I haven't used Cellbee before but it has good reviews.
My Reiko is still holding up well after 2 years.

Thanks I'll take a look!
KAVAJ do some nice leather pouches and cases too (genuine not fake PU cap leather)
The below is their first product which I'm getting for s6 edge. Their rest of the portfolio line up will follow suit
Of if you just want premium leather pouch then go for a company like hard graft (but they are very expensive)
Rebecca Minkoff
Try searching for Rebecca Minkoff leather pouch for s6. I am still not allowed to post pictures of the item but I guess that is the pouch you are looking for.
Search this Euro ebay like store for uniquely designed goods. Many wallets and pouches https://www.etsy.com/
Thanks for all suggestions
Will check them out
Budget it around £30 (slightly more maybe depending on quality / any guarantee offered)

Shame, but I treat Amazon reviewers like I do movie critics - I'll make my own mind up! 2/5 stars on Amazon but there are some 5 star verified purchase reviews amongst those. Will see when it arrives.
I've had 3 different punk cases when I had my s6. All where junk
Just got mine today I would say it looks crap cheap plastic material it does protect from water but hell looks ugly no rubber grip anywhere your litteraly holding at plastic case which is slippery and would slide down on any surface, just stay away from it I would not recommend this case at all regret buying it wish I just went zagg new glass than this

Case arrived today. It's not as poor as some are making out in my opinion, however it's definitely not worth the asking price. Especially as I had to pay import tax on it too! The glass cover portion is pretty flimsy and at first feels really crappy, but once it's on and clamped together with the rear portion it all tightens up.
As I say, it's not awful, but it's not outstanding and overpriced.
This seems extremely similar to the Ghostek Atomic 2.0 case for the S7 Edge. Plastic film protectors on the outer edge gets lot of scratches over time that it's a real pity tempered glasses aren't the thing to buy for our phones.
Looks good and sturdy. Though quite expensive for my taste.
