I am looking for a certain style of case of my TB. I am looking for a "book" or folio style case, in leather. I'm not looking for a holster or any case that the phone must be removed from to use. A book style would have a flap over the screen that open like a book. It would be secured by a snap or magnet.
A cutout for the camera would be a plus but not required. No belt loops, clips or other protruding attachments (unless they can be removed). Screen protection not a requirement (other than the flap when closed).
I only found one online from www.forrte.com

I have no experience with this company.
Any thoughts or opinions of the Forrte cases? My last leather case was a tight fit on my iphone.
Poetic Borderline Bumper
$9.95- Poetic Borderline
Design
This bumper gives you a slim minimalistic look. On the edge of the bumper you see a somewhat partly glossy finish and matte grey edges. All ports are easily accessible and the buttons are easy to push in. The bumper goes just over the back of the Nexus 4, but leaves most of the back exposed.
Protection
The main purpose of the Poetic Borderline is to show off the beautiful back of the Nexus 4 at the expense of protection. The bumper as a whole gives one a much grippier phone and should ultimately result in less drops. The bumper has a lip that goes just over the screen; if one's Nexus 4 does fall face first, then the lip should somewhat reduce the impact of the fall.
Final Verdict
The Poetic Borderline is a high quality bumper and a great value for the price. At $9.95, this case is a steal. The case is available in six cool colors: Black/Gray, Blue/Gray, Green/Gray, Purple/Gray, Red/Gray, and Yellow/Gray. If one is interested in a slim profile bumper that gives minimal protection, this is the bumper for you.
Poetic Hardback
$8.95- Poetic Hardback
Design
The Poetic Harback is a poorly designed case. While it does offer a folio feature, the oddly manufactured case clearly lacks in simple everyday situations. As shown in the video review, the camera and speaker slots are flip flopped, resulting in the user switching the side the case is inserted. The folio feature is definitely a plus; however, the rest of the features are certainly lacking.
Protection
The Poetic Hardback definitely doesn't give protection like a rugged case, but it does look like there could be issues with the phone falling out due to the claws holding the phone being quite small. The top cover is adequately padded giving the case some extra protection.
Final Verdict
Overall, the Poetic Hardback doesn't deliver in the two major criteria. Because the case is poorly made and there are so many design errors, the Poetic Hardback receives a final grade of 2/5 stars.
Poetic Slimbook
Amazon Link- Poetic Slimbook
The Good
All ports are easily accessible
Magnetic Clasp
A TPU within a cover
Protection is adequate
The case is well made and stitchings are tight
Could insert credit cards and money but adding too much stuff won't work
The Bad
The back of the case isn't magnetic so folding the cover back is uncomfortable
The case is pretty thick
You can't access the volume rockers when the case is closed
Doesn't lay flat
Only available in black
Final Verdict
The Poetic Slimbook is a nice value for $10.95, but far from the best case available. The thickness of this case is an issue for me, but may not be for others. If one is looking for a book style case, this might be one of your best options. The Poetic Slimbook receives a 3.5/5 star review.

Great review thanks
We already have several threads on this
Updated original post with the Poetic Hardback and Slimbook.
Hello Guys,
I ordered multiple cases for my S5 & they were delivered today, yes on a SUNDAY !!!
Some words about all of them since it might help you decide on the ONE..
1. Cruzerlite Bugdroid Circuit
http://goo.gl/pj1lX5
Looks good & is very very light. Just Like other Cruzerlite cases & yes it has a pretty good looking Android logo on its back, both outside and inside.
2. TUDIA Ultra Slim Melody TPU Bumper Protective Case
http://goo.gl/Y8NIjB
This is also equally good & light weight as Cruzerlite, the best part of this case is the extra lining around the camera which makes sure the camera lens does not touch the surface.
3. Spigen Case Protective [Satin Silver]
http://goo.gl/rcwBdX
Looks better, much better than both of the above, silver plastic ring around the phone gives it a different look.
The phone feels much bigger & wider, tough to both apply & remove because of plastic ring.
Let me know if you have questions. As of now I am happy with my purchase.
Will update the post in case I see any issues.
I am attaching some pics for your reference.
I agree the Spigen case definately looks better than the rest
This is a compact and really good looking design; I was expecting something much more bulky. With the phone inside, the case is no thicker than my Otterbox Defender (my daily case). The case is obviously made of high quality leather; not cheap, but not Napa leather either. The design is pretty unusual in that it has a TPU case inside, attached to the leather. I like this because it provides good protection - there is more than just leather protecting the phone. There are cutouts for the camera and microphone on the rear, which are well sized and placed, and the case closes by means of a magnetic clasp that is easy to open and close. Part of the rear will fold over, so that the case functions as a stand as well. Everything about the case worked well. The case comes with a carrying strap that can be easily removed if desired.
The interior has a slot for ID and three credit cards. There is a place for money, but it is sized to fit the phone length, and so you will have to fold the bills to fit - I don't think you could carry a "wad" of bills there, but it is OK for light use. The TPU case has cutouts at all the right places, and all buttons worked fine.
The only quality question I have is the TPU attachment to the case. It is not sewn in; I suppose it must be glued to the case. It seems sturdy enough, but if there is a weak link in the design, this is it. However, I suspect that if the glue did come off, it could be re-glued again, and in any case with the phone inside the case it won't ever flex at this spot.
The case is a bit pricy, but in my opinion if you want this sort of design, this is a great choice. When I need a more formal case, this is the one I will use.
EDIT: The product is available on Amazon:

good review
I received this case for review and I absolutely love it. the design is sleek but rugged so that it feels like it's properly protected as well as being protected. I love that the buttons for the volume are covered by rubber so that you can easily distinguish the fingerprint/power button. The opening mechanism is very smooth and feels great every time. the front of the phone when opened is surrounded by that protective rubber with cutouts exactly where you need them. I like that the logo is placed just so it's there but not in your face. When closed the phone is encased and fully protected with openings only where you need them. The case has a raised area around the outer screen and cameras so that when laid down they don't touch. I love that the outside is kept sleek without unnecessary grooves and ridges because it allows me to attach my grip mount to the back of the phone. I really don't see how you could make a better case. I got it in black which is awesome but wouldn't mind having a color-matched case, that's a minor thing compared to the fact that it is one of the best cases I've used for my Flip 4.
