I am currently using a Griffin Ipad1 folio case, paid $5 from the verizon sale, classy high quality leather look, well built, great protection and most importantly it doesn't block anything. I mean ANYTHING including the most important speakers which is also where the heat coming outs also. It is almost a perfect case to use it at work and school but I am trying to find something little bit different when I am using it at home.
Most of the Ipad1 folio cases will work but just depends on the style and the quality you want. I am thinking something close to the otterbox style, I tried a few cases and been reading alot online.
Otterbox, as everyone know it does not fit unless someone smart comes out with a easy way to modify it to fit then it will be the most ideal case.
Speck Candyshell hard case, some said it will fit so I ordered one from ATT (Since you don't like it you can return it back to retail store). It does but it's little bit loose so it's not secured enough and the volume down is stuck. No go.
Hp OEM case, best fit and best looking case for the touchpad but not enough protections compares to the Griffin case. If you have an OEM case, you should try out the griffin case.
After countless hours of researching... saw this little Speck IPAD1 rubber case that might work for the touchpad. It's called Speck Pixelskin Silicone Soft Grip Case for IPAD1.
Someone is selling on Ebay for $10 now, does anyone have this to confirm the fitment? Thanks,

Did the case fit your touchpad? i just picked up 2 on ebay for nephews and want to protect the tablet. thanks.
Wanting to see if anyone is rocking this pouch and what their thoughts were on it? I'm really digging the S-View Feature, but not sure if i should pull the trigger on the OEM S-View Flip Coveror this Spigen Pouch.
Also if you do, would a GS4 with a Spigen Ultra Thin Air case fit in it? Mahalo.
Yes, I have this case. Here's my opinion of it...
It' thicker than you think. This is not a slim, soft case, it's rigid and adds a bit of heft to the device. On the plus side, being rigid means it will provide some drop protection.
The view function works well and there is a little patch on the front of the case that corresponds to the Home button underneath. This is good for waking up the view screen.
You can easily take a call with the case on. This is a real plus.
Getting the phone out of the case requires a 'Vulcan nerve pinch', claw-like grip, as it fits in tightly. This may free up as it wears in. I don't think you'll get the handset in with any extra bulk on (if you got it in, you'd probably never get it out!).
I prefer it to the S-View flip case (which is slimmer) as, to me, the flap gets in the way too much.
Overall, I am in two minds about the case. For now I'll stick with it. If someone does a slim, soft leather case (like a Sena UltraSlim) with View window/functions I'll be all over it.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for the reply. The more i look at it, i think the Crumena is the case for me. Take care.

i have it but not useful

Why? Can you expand on why you don't find it useful please?
I have this pouch and the Neo Hybrid from Spigen.
I will say this, the case is more useful than the pouch IMO.
My review of the pouch:
Pros:
Feels amazing. Truly high quality
Isn't as thick as some cases. It is a bit thicker than the Neo Hybrid, but with that said it does offer some protection
S view is nice, but not as useful as say hover over or UCWW lockscreen
Cons:
This is not like some of the other pouches that had the little pull tab. Getting the S4 out of this tends to turn the ringer back on, or cause for fumbling on getting it out of the device.
As tight as the pouch is to the device, I've noticed that sometimes pocket lint /grit has gotten into the pocket once. This deals with me not cleaning my pockets perfectly, but in the real world my pockets will have lint from time to time.
The Home button is depressed on the outside of the leather, but is a 50/50 hit on the device. In otherwords, sometimes I pull the case out of my pocket or backpack and it will be showing the Sview on, other times I will have it on my desk and have to push the button a few times before Sview kicks in. This isn't the device, but the case itself. Now I may be pushing the device too far down or not far enough for the depression to line up perfectly, but the pouch seems to cover the buttons/not cover the buttons to my liking.
With this said, if I didn't have the Neo, I would use this pouch over putting a skin or one of the other cases on. I still prefer the pouch over the Sview cover that Samsung released, but the Neo worked better for my use than the pouch did.
I have just order this case in black and the red spigen hybrid case will use both when bored of one will use the other.

Appreciate the insight. I was wondering about whether or not the crumena view had the pull tab like the other crumenas. Hmmmm, decisions decisions.
Yeah, I thought it would have had it too. If it did I would be much happier with it. The pull tab would have balanced out the Home button issue for me.

probably a long shot but...could the Neo Hybrid fit in the Crumena View ?
Sorry for the late reply. No. The view is pretty tight and trying to stretch it out will only ruin the case and probably not match what you are looking for
I have since moved onto Spigen's slim armor view. It is probably the best case I've ever had.

thank you very much
I bought the Neo Hybrid about a week ago.It has enough protection and the best grip compared to dozens of cases i tried. just hoped i could combine it with a "view" style pouch.
Again thank you for clearing it up for me. :victory:
I really like how the premium materials on the s6 feel but it's likeholding a piece of ice dipped in lube.. crazy slippery. this also makes for very awkward hand positioning if you dare use one hand (which i attempt to do).. this phone is already kinda too-big for me ... also, it's incredibly insecure inside a pocket. if you lie down, it will fall out. if you're wearing something loose like sweat pants and sit down, it will fall out..
i'm looking for a solution to improve grip but i HATE cases .. especially on a phone this big. something like a skin/wrap seemsperfect but I'd like to know how much grip these add. Ideally, I feel like 2 thin strips of a grippy vinyl along the edges would be enough but more realistically, a full back wrap would likely be the way to go.
dbrand and slickwraps seem to be the most popular ones. i like the look of the leather wraps but it seems like they feel more like paper in person (based on youtube reviews). I wish someone made a clear full-back cover made out of a gripper plastic (like old school palm pilot screen protectors).. that would likely work.
anyone have experience/recommendations?
The InvisibleShield HDX by Zagg works really nicely for the S6.
I've got to say, though. Nothing could be more slippery than the HTC One M8. Awesome phone, but very slick.
The official Samsung shell case adds some grip while still retaining the look of the phone. It's lightly textured hard plastic.
I remember seeing a post a long time ago where someone sprayed Plasti-dip on the back of their phone. I'm sure that would definitely add grip, and it is reversible. Not sure it's something I'd want to do, but it is an option.
Just did a quick search :
http://lifehacker.com/5716776/diy-rubberized-phone-backing
P.s.- you can get Plasti-dip in multiple colors, including clear.
I am really loving The neo hybrid by spigen.
Probably a bit thicker than a skin, but still minimalist, try the Spigen thin fit BLACK color. The other colors (maybe there aren't other colors for the S6?) are slippery. The black one has a very nice grip, but still easy to take out of pockets. Also, it protects the camera lens .
I have the Samsung shell case, seriously its like having no case on the phone but does add grip

Comes in other colours.
a suggestion
You might want to look at the Tech21 Evo Check at Best Buy. It adds very little bulk to the phone, but a whole lot of grip. I'm waiting for an Urban Armor Gear Outland to be delivered , and although the Tech21 case is not cheap, it gives me peace of mind until the UAG arrives.
I got a spigen clear flexible skin on ebay for around 12 dollars. Very nice slim and adds a lot of grip and still lets the phone shine thru
I got dbrand leather carbon finer skin for the back. It's less slippery to hold and no bulk added.
there is really not a solution for you.
Just get a SUPER thin case
I always found adding a cheap clear skin protector on the back add just the amount of grip you need. Worked for the Sony Z3 as well as htc one M7/M8 from my personal experience.
You could wrap your phone once around with Saran Wrap. Might look a little funky, but it will give you some more grip.
if you don't want a case but want grip and never drop your phone then checkout the flygrip it uses double sided adhesive to attach to your phone and also works as a kickstand in potrait and landscape mode , been using it for years on all my devices , but if you wireless charge then it will get in the way and wont work
I bought a pure gear case. Very slim with rubber siding and clear!! I've used them on several phones. Great feel and low bulk. I also added a screen protector

I know these are expensive but they seem to be a great quality and are truly the thinnest case I have ever seen. You should be able to try them out at your local Best Buy to see if you like it.

hello dont agree, i think its a very well made case, if the case drop, it will hurt one of the corner and will preserve the metal part,try to put the phone on a table in all position you want, the lens and metal part will never in contact with anything (sorry for my english
Hi all,
I've been browsing through Amazon for a decent leather folio case, but I couldn't find any decent option. All of them either have too big of a fingerprint cutout, too thick, use terrible PU leather, have borderline useless niche 'features' such as excessive card pockets (come on people, a phone case doesn't need to carry 5 credit cards AND spare cash), or kickstands, or all of the above. I'm looking for a neat, simplistic option without any frills. Now I know that Google does have some OEM cases on the Google Store, but I already tried that and I need more options to choose, namely leather color and the likes. My budget is around $70, maybe $80, but definitely lower than $90.
Any suggestions?
EDIT: Wraps such as those offered by Toast are out of the question. I accidentally dented part of the frame above the power button, so I want something to hide that.

Pouch is wicked, I'd love it with the dbrand skin. I'd rather have the phone naked and the pouch during travel but that makes the pouch a silly buy. Taking out the phone ads only to dropping risk.
Case from Noreve looks amazing. I'd order it but the phone is already huge, I'd be walking around with a brick. Not sure if I should just go for the skin or safe out and get the case.

Thanks for the reply. The pouches actually look wicked nice, but I was looking for an actual case.
I've actually looked at Noreve, but their fingerprint cutout is unnecessarily big. Otherwise, beautiful cases indeed. But the fingerprint thing is sort of a deal breaker for me.
I've actually had a dbrand for a while, and then I dropped my phone and made a small dent in the frame above the power button, so I need a case to cover that up. That, and dbrand skins aren't leather either. I've looked at the full coverage Toasted leather that was just released a day ago, but again, the power button issue means I really need a case. At least something better (read fancier) than my Verus right now.
late to the game...
but, there are the toast genuine leather wraps for the 6p
also, tetded leather case.
check them out.
i've been using the tetded since december.
I reached out to Ghostek and they informed me that they will have the cases available towards the end of September. I have no prior experience with their cases but I'm looking forward to this one because I think it visually looks very nice, considering there is no TPU/rubber material visible from the front and also appears to offer quite a bit of protection.
MobileFun says they will have them in red and silver starting tomorrow.
Anyone else planning to get this case?
It looks nice, but...
Yeah, I agree with you 100% on the fact that it looks very nice, while still maintaining a slim profile that is waterproof and has extra protection. Though, I just don't see how dropping your Galaxy Note 7 / S7 in this case could be the same as dropping the S7 in a lifeproof case, or any other decent rubber case out there. Because it's metal / aluminum, the material of the case itself can not absorb as much of the impact as a flexible rubber case, or a tough case that has some sort of rubber / soft material around the outside of it, like the lifeproof case for the S7.
I'm sorry if I'm not explaining myself correctly, where I am it's 01:15AM here, so I'm a little tired. But that's just my view on it.
Overall though, it looks tough, shy of impacts, it keeps the phone looking very attractive, and it is sleek. I like it, I will buy it. I will try harder to not drop my phone in this than if I had a lifeproof case, or a rubber case. It just can't absorb the impact as strongly.
