Im thinking of getting the leather g4 when it comes out. but i also want to put a case on the g4 so it doesnt get f**ked up when i drop it. but i was thinking, if i do get the leather back g4 and i put a case on it, then whats the point of having a leather back if i cant show it off because of the case that is going to be blocking it from view.
Is there any cases for the leather back g4 yet?
I don't think so. If you want a case and a leather back I suggest you look into getting a leather case.
Sent from my GT-I9505G using XDA Free mobile app
Most of the cases out there are NOT compatible with the leather back.
If you want a leather back, get the G4 with the plastic back and buy one of these cases....

Maybe This One
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00VH1J7WI/ref=twister_B00VH1IR10?_encoding=UTF8&psc=1
I did buy it but as of now it's in another country and i can't actually access it. The description claims it will fit the leather back.
I'm not sure if that was a one size fits all design or sculpted precisely for leather backs.
They had a promotion dropping the price to about $7. Don't know if that's over.
Also don't know if the company is reputable at all. This particular amazon page doesn't show up on google search results soo... idk

Some dude's video review: https://youtu.be/gmrwKSB_1ys?t=372
Note however he isn't reviewing the Leather LG G4
I am waiting to hear back about this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VY35YVC?ref_=pe_623860_70668670
this one says Compatible with LEATHER LG G4
Ringke FUSION for LG G4 fits all Leather, Metallic, and Ceramic Craft backs. Be cautious when putting on or removing of the case, as it may damage the leather back
side of the phone, if not careful. Ringke is not responsible for any damage to the leather back. : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...ailpage_o03_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1&tag=011080yt-20
there's this case reviewer in youtube, he use the brown leather G4 with spigen cases, and they all seem to fit well
but there's no telling the long term effect on the leather though
I've got the cognac leather, with a Versus leather case and I can tell you that it will scratch or tear the leather back near the edges when you are trying to remove the case.

Hi XDA! I am looking for my PERFECT case/smartcover for the Nexus 7.
So the official Nexus 10 has a smart cover that is incorporated into the "rubber feet" on the back. Today, while walking through a mall, I saw these Blackberry Z10 smartcovers that are incorporated into the battery door.
Do you know of a case that is similar for the N7?
this is what the Blackberry Z10 battery door/smartcover look like http://bit.ly/10KGnO9
tried looking around, I haven't yet found anything so I gave up. Now my N7 has no case but I might just sell it an get an N10 anyways
The back has never needed any protection so these folio cases are pointless....it's the front that always has, and a bumper of sorts with the smartcover built in would be ideal
Exactly. The N7 is pretty bulky as is, dont need an extra layer in the back.

I have a moko cover that's pretty sweet. Its a portfolio case that let's you stand it in landscape to use with a Bluetooth keyboard or just to watch videos.
I tried posting a link but since I'm a new users, the forum won't allow me to. Just go to amazon and search for "moko slim-fit case" $15.99
Similar to the Blurex cases.
I've tried lots of cases. I DID like the Blurex/Moko style. However it did add a considerable amount of thickness. I also tried the Poetic case, which is a slim hard back plastic case with a smart case attached. It worked pretty well and latches shut at the end to keep closed. The Poetic case is the best case I've found for a smart cover type protection.
I eventually settled on a hardback book case. It is stylish and gives it a little more protection. The lid stays closed with a strap but some include wood shells with magnets. I opted for the cheapest solution and find it very good. In fact it has held up very well. The tablet is held in by sticky tape. I've owned mine for months and never had it fall out or need to be cleaned/restuck.
http://shop.portenzo.com/hardback-for-nexus-7/
Plenty of color combinations. I have a Red exterior, white inner liner, and a black strap. Nice and clean.
So iPAD mini like smart covers isn't available for the N7 ? I too just need a lightweight smart cover only to protect the screen and not the back and was wondering if something like poetic slimline exists?
The Poetic Slimline does exist, as my previous posts states, for the Nexus 7:
http://bit.ly/192m6YK
The iPad Smart Covers uses many magnets around the edge of the screen to keep the flappy flap tight against the surface. Others just use one side of magnets at the edge of the closing point.
Very good price too. I purchased mine for $20, but it is showing $9.95 at Amazon right now.
The Poetic was nice and I liked it but out of the 4-5 months I owned it, I had to replace it 3 times because the material would break at the seams. Poetic has a 3yr warranty and replaced it hassle free by just emailing them my Amazon order number. Because they are so cheap, they don't even bother wanting the old one returned... so while they were falling apart, other N7 owners didn't mind a free slightly worn case.
Here is a video of them:

Yea. In doing the research and finding that video, I noticed the different colors. When they first came out they only had black. I'd almost wouldn't mind picking up a baby blue or red one.
I noticed colors are a little more expensive.
@player911
After so much of research with matching my requirements, I just couldnt find an alternative to Poetic Slimline case. Looks like it isnt available in my country (India) which is not cheap option.
Any idea if there's any similar chinese ones or replica? Have seen few smart covers from China on Ebay but they have the problem of turning off the screen when cover is flipped around.

I've heard good things about the Nillkin smart-wake cases. While the case covers both the front and back, the folding section does not, which makes it a bit slimmer (Hard to explain, take a look at the link for a picture). Apparently these cases don't suffer from the waking issue when folded backwards, either.
Here's a review I found: http://www.androidcentral.com/nillkin-leather-flip-cover-nexus-7
Dad recently bought a Nexus 7 and we ordered this case, though we haven't received it yet so can't offer any first-hand impressions.

Heard about Nillkin so let me see
EDIT:
Doesn't protect the screen as cover doesn't have magnets on edges(magnetic closure) like poetic one to close it 100%
EDIT2:
Ordered Poetic Slimline
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.
Sent from my SPH-L720
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)
Anybody using the tech21 cases commonly found at the tmobile stores?
I searched around and only saw one post, not much else... Any opinions?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/g4/accessories/leather-t3120658/page5 theres a user who posted pic of his leather back phone in it. i should be getting mine by mail from tmo but its one of the few case i know that support the leather back without any issues
Fits very well. Also bought tech21 screen protector and it has a small strip that leaves screen uncovered for case use. Screen protector is smooth as glass but I will warn you it smudges like crazy.
If anyone buy it, could you show me the link? Thanks in advice.
I bought the Tech 21 "EVO Wallet" from the local T-Mobile store for my leather-backed G4. I needed SOMETHING to protect the phone, and that seemed to be the best option that was available in the T-Mobile retail store. It worked okay, but I didn't like the case. The fit was good, and I think it protected the phone pretty well, but I didn't like the fold-over flap. I like to hold my phone one-handed a lot, and the flap just got in the way.
I wound up ordering the Verus THOR case from Amazon for $14.99 with Amazon Prime: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00VGZSS9S
I like the Verus case a lot better. It fit very well with my leather-backed G4, and although it doesn't seem as rugged as an OtterBox Defender, it still seems pretty rugged. Unfortunately, the silver color that I picked out doesn't go very well with the brown leather back, so I may be finding a different back once they become available.
Edit: Here's a link to the Tech 21 case I was using: https://www.tech21.com/lg-g4-case-evo-wallet-black.html
I'm using Tech21 Evo Tactical at the moment,waiting for more choices for wireless charging cases.
It fits well and Tmo only charged $20 for it.

Has anybody found a good pouch or slip cover? I like to use my phone naked but with a pouch to protect it from scratches in my pocket.
I've looked. I've used a sena case before, they're nice. But they and melko are always late making stuff. I refuse to put my sim in until I get a pouch of flip case. I have yet to find one.
edit, i meant sena pouch
I usually get the black neoprene ones with the android printed on them for like $5 on eBay direct from China. Been searching but nothing Nexus 5X sized yet.
I'm waiting for this one to be released: http://mediadevil.com/us/catalog/product/view/id/2163%20/
http://www.fitbag.de/ do customised pouches. I've used them before a few times and they are high quality, however, they do take a bit to make and arrive so if you order you need to be patient
those artisan covers look good!

Casemate clear fron Verizon
I have had experience with the clear Casemate case from verizon for a few days now. Its probably the worst case ive ever had. Terrible design, uses adhesive to adhere the front screen piece and easily come off with any pressure against it. Rear case holds just fine but is incredibly thick and changes the device into a boxy phone. Needless to say save your money and get a different case
Cool, thanks! Let us know how you like any of the ones you order.
I was thinking a possible case idea would be a rear TPU case that adheres with adhesive, but then has an extended flexible rubber that overlaps the screen edges. Then you could fold back the rubber when you want to swivel. Just a brainstorm, not sure how it would work in a practical use.
Just pulled the trigger on a case and protector from a Korean website (GMarket)

Just received my case from design skin I got the LG Wing Mix Two Pocket Card Case - Black/Yellow so far I like it way better than the case I got from Verizon that one was the worst case I ever got especially the front cover I think came off so easily.
Just got the Spigen case. It's a hard plastic case and it stays on using sticky pads. We'll see how long it lasts but it feels high quality and nice.

That's what I ordered today,it's the only one that's somewhat available ATM. No cases in stock at any of the carriers in my area.
Spigen quality is always top-notch, definitely no worries there & the price on it is reasonable.
If You guys get some good cases. Please leave links

This case came yesterday. I like the way it feels and the protection is good on the back half of the phone. It's not too slippery. I don't know that I could have expected anything more. ?
