Disclaimer: I got a significant discount to rate this product. That will not alter my review.
This is a good, sturdy case that I've been using for a little over a week. I ride a motorcycle and have been using this case solely for the convenience that it provides me in regards to being able to have my license, credit cards, cash and phone all in one convenient place.
The case is well made, but the leather is a bit odoriferous and smells as if it's either mildewed or be around some mold. The smell is still present after a week, but it is going away slowly. This can be smelled when you are on the phone talking. The wrist strap does seem durable but how long it will last, I'm unsure. I would have liked to see the wrist strap be leather as well to assure more strength with it.
The stand feature is not something that I used very frequently but it is a very nice touch and I'm glad that feature is offered. It's rare to find a leather case that allows you the ability to "stand" it.
The "Artech21" stamping on the front was just the tiniest bit crooked, which played with my OCD. It is stamped deeply and looks like it will not wear over time.
In addition to the leather wrist strap, I'd like to see this in more colors and the ability to monogrammed. If customers were able to get their ow initials of perhaps 10 characters free with the case, it would be a great selling point.
I like this case quite a bit and it is my only case that I will be using for my motorcycle riding. You won't be disappointed should you purchase this case.

I think I know what you mean, I like it but.. it looks cool but it's not very practical, lightweight but adds bulk, good protection for the back but none for the screen etc.

I quite like it.
$44 is taking the pith and unless the project is patented the Chinese will be knocking them out for $1 within months.
I'd prefer it if they could get the finished product a bit thinner and pay maybe £5 for one, inc p&p but no more.
$20 for international shipping ?
Bloody hippies, why can't they just come out of the closet and say they are just as capitalistic as bankers ?
I do like it. Looks sweet and would match my Mica Plank watch and Bucket Oakleys
17 days left to go and not fully funded as of today. I already invested in my Treegloo so I can't foresee another case. But for 44 bux isn't too bad.
nexus cutting board.
bamboos float so if you accidentally drop your nexus with that bamboo case in the ocean, you will still be able to retrieve it.
I know it's real bamboo wood, but it looks too much like plastic vinyl flooring and bad 70's wallpaper to me. Has an IKEA feel about it.
Haha, I was about to say how it looks like my Grandma's kitchen.
I actually thought it was a chopping board the first time I saw it!!! LOL
Just don't put your nexus 7 in the kitchen when the case is on.

Chopping board，but looks high quality case
this is actually very nice, I would pay around 10-15$ though, and I would want it a darker bamboo, and one continuous speaker hole so the speaker dividers don't snap, and a microfiber interior
Just put my 44 down. I hope it gets funded, I really like the look of it. Very classsy. Good way to make my Nexus 7 look unique.

Are you from the UK? (You sound like me, lol!)
And I have to agree: I want that warm fuzzy feeling of doing the whole natural environmental friendly bamboo thing but not at corporate rip off prices!

missing a fornt cover
it would have been nice if it had a front felt cover ( like the grovemade ones for the ipad), or if it was a slip case.
Guys was planning to buy this Neoprene pouch instead of the regular flip cover.
How is it. Do u recommend it ?

I read some reviews about that pouch actually.
First, not my words, but I'll summarise what the two guys said about it.
The pouch is not actually Neoprene. It's faux-neoprene. It's just made to feel like neoprene, but it's not really the real thing.
The case was designed for N7000, It won't be a tight fit on the width, but it will be on the vertical, and the velcro(if there is any) won't fit perfectly, it'll be a little misaligned, because the N7100 is smaller in width, and taller in size.

Where did u read this ? can u provide the link pl.
Secondly ebay has buyer protection, so if i dont like the product as described or the seller is selling me a note 1 cover instead of 2, i will return it and get my money back.
So not much worried .
I gave you the link right there. It's the comments of that link.
Sure you have buyers protection. But you still have to pay delivery to and back...
Just letting a fellow XDA be aware if what others think of this thing.

I had been looking around for a while.....tried a couple of different cases. And then i saw a couple of pieces that caught my eye. And i then thought to myself...."What if i combined them?" So i did just that! Had always liked the idea of a two toned phone. Here are links to the 2 items on Ebay...

Just thought i would share this bit of randomness......i really like it! And the bumper case does not affect signal quality at all. :good:
Looks nice, I'm still considering a back plate like that. Let me know when you get a phone as cute as you pls. Then I will really be interested
I just ordered one of those carbon battery covers too, waiting for it to arrive
do you know if you can transfer the NFC from your old back onto this one?
This is what was holding me back!

Nice mode. I am thinking to cut a TPU case into a bumper case to protect the side, and use it with the official flip case.

Hey guys so I was given this case and I must say I am actually impressed for the most part. When I received the case I didn't expect to have it on my phone very long as i'm not usually a fan of wallet cases but this one has been on my phone for almost a month now. I know wallet cases are not for everyone but if you are looking to slim down on all the crap you have to carry give this thing a look.
Inside, the part that actually holds the phone, is a tpu case. It has good fit and has all the cutouts. There are 4 slots total for cards, I used an ID in the front pocket and then 3 cards. There is also a little slot for some cash or what ever else you might want to carry. The inside material looks to be like nylon and the card slots are leather with one plastic window. The quality of the leather seems to be good and the stitching looks even and straight. I haven't seen any signs of wear in the time i've used it. There is a magnetic clasp that keeps the case closed and it works well. It pretty much closes on its own 99%of the time when I shut the case. It should be also noted that it came with a lanyard that I never used. It looked too girly for my liking but if you like it rock it.
My only complain on the case is that the magnetic clasp that keeps the case closed needs to be moved away from the power button as I seem to be fighting with it every time I power on or off. Below are some pics of the case and if you guys have any questions let me know and Ill do my best to answer them.

39.98 on amazon.... i put up the link if anyone wants a direct route to it.
Not bad. I've ever purchased a Artech21 leather wallet case for iPhone 6 Plus as a little present for my nephew.
It would be perfect if it has a discount coupon. I always like coupons and slick deals. :laugh::laugh:

Bought a bunch of those to hold me over for the time being. But I always end up ditching those cheap cases for something better as my daily driver.
I've cracked a screen with a Ringke case and another with a Spigen case. Have yet to crack a screen with an UAG case, fingers crossed.

LOL, you got a "daily driver" case?
So why cheap out on the "discounted" one. Get yourself an Otterbox with some Zagg which might set you back 60-90 bucks.
Hell, just take your phone to a factory, scan it and create your own (police grade) Kevlar case with some titanium casing and memory foam bumpers.
You already spent $900, you can afford it.
:laugh::laugh: Get a protection plan, that's the best case.
From my experience, casology, ringke and so on are good enough if not better. Also you can get more for fashion reasons or just in case you get bored.

I am looking at the UAG , have had great luck with them since I quit using otterbox. They also have a new one https://urbanarmorgear.com/collections/samsung-galaxy-note-8-cases/products/monarch-series-samsung-note-8-case that looks cool too , but waiting for them to show up on Amazon.
