Hi guys,
Wanted to post a review for another Noreve case, the first review being the one I did for the Nexus 7 case, which can be found here
I'd like to first mention that my case arrived before my phone did (anyone surprised?), however I was able to test this out on a friends N4.
As always, packaging from Noreve is top notch.

Upon opening the box, you are greeted with a bright red pouch in which the actual case itself comes in. I don't know who's idea this was, but it was a good one. Definitely the nicest packaging job I've seen for a case, bar none.
After taking the actual case out of the box, you are greeted by the unmistakable smell of high quality leather. Don't be surprised if you find yourself sniffing your case! The finish on this particular case is from the Illumination series, which comes in black (onyx), or maia (gold) or platinum. This is the case in the Onyx finish. The Illumination series has a very smooth, polished leather, making it shiny and easy to clean. Finger prints are not an issue with the case, which is a plus.
Note the hole for the LED indicator on the front. It's perfect, and a very classy touch. I am glad they haven't overlooked that.
And here is a detailed look of the inside of the case.
Here is a close up of the stitching,
Here is a view of the back of the case, and also another close up of the stitching :
Another nice addition Noreve always incorporates into their cases is the speaker grill, to keep dust out of the case.
A view from the left,
And a view from the right,
The case gives you easy access to all the ports you need, and the cutouts for the camera are flawlessly done. It feels great in the hand, doesn't add too much bulk, and would easily protect the phone from most major falls. I can't see fluids doing any damage to the phone with the case on either, unless you submerge it in water, which I'm pretty sure none of us would do
The first case I got from Noreve was the N7 case, and I still absolutely love it. It made me like my device even more, and top of that, it just looks ten times better now. Even after months of use, the smell of leather still faintly greets me each and every time. I wanted to give another Noreve product a try, and this one hits the ball out of the park for me as well. Excellent craftsmanship throughout, and equally excellent customer service, which to me is extremely important. It unfortunately seems to be a rarity these days, but the people at Noreve are extremely friendly and helpful.
The price for this case in standard black is 46 Euros, with free shipping anywhere in the world with DHL. I received this case in 2 business days, which was lightning fast, despite not being located in France. The prices change with their finishing options and belt clip options, as they offer belt clips in plastic as well as metal, or in my case, no belt clip at all.
Some would say that that's a bit expensive for a case, and I disagree. I'm of the mind that if you're going to buy something, buy it once and don't worry about it. You get what you pay for. I remember paying $45 for an Otterbox Defender case, and the plastic casing broke after 7 months, rendering the case completely useless. That Otterbox was nothing but plastic and silicon anyway, and in my opinion did not warranty the price tag. With Noreve, you get a premium, hand crafted leather case, so I think it's well worth it. Personally I've wasted too much money in the past on crummy cases. Never again.
All in all, I would definitely recommend this case, and would rate it a solid 5 out o 5.
Thank you for reading! Here is a direct link to their Nexus 4 product page.
If I were to spend 60€ on a case I would definitely consider this one, looks extrimely classy and well made, but the protection provided is probably good but not great and the flip front is not practical imo. It's really really fancy and good looking, but also expansive, and the fact that the case for the N7 has the same price as the one for the N4 is a bit of a mockery.
I just got mine today. It's the "Sable Vintage" one though, which made it a bit more expensive since it's a 'custom order' or something. I love the look of this case. It's so refined-looking and professional, and looks like it will do a lot to prevent damage to your phone with its metal frame. The vintage style is also a good choice if the case might be suffering from some abuse like mine will; any scratches the case might suffer will only add to the worn look of the case, and will only make it look more vintage, fitting the style's name perfectly.
Nice! Would love to see a few pictures of that finish.
Nice review. Worth every penny IMHO.
(I too would like to see a picture of the vintage version...)
the case looks, nice. but i'd rather see it on the phone. thanks tho
Will update once my phone arrives. Thanks for reading guys :good:

Can't speak for the OP @ynrozturk, but mine is still awesome.
3 points:
1 - most importantly it feels 100% protected. No screen protector so I get the benefit of smoothness during use. But screen is totally protected with case....
2 - case still looks, feels and functions like it did on day one.
3 - it does add thickness to the phone as a whole. That doesn't bother me, as I'll trade that for the protection. However it may some people....

Nice to know! I have a 20-25 working (business days) days wait for mine due to the different finish I want. I got the Ebène style with a belt holster.
The 20th day is 2/28 so I'll send an email to check the status and will post updates when I get it in.

I received an email with this in it: 'Your case is actually under production. We must ship it beginning of week 10.'
I'm not sure what this means. I'm 4 weeks since my order but I guess if they're a small company hand-making things in France I'm not going to give them too hard a time.

I received a reply today saying they had too many orders and so my custom order will take 7 to 10 working days more.
I can really blame them. Even Google had underestimated how many people would be interested in their product.
Anyway, trying to be patient here.

Shoot and you are IN Paris right? That doesn't bode well for me . LOL I can wait. I just got my Ringke Hybrid TPU case and waiting on the dbrand backing as well. So if this comes in before that, It would be tough to decide which to use lol.

I'm in Paris, but it is not a delivery problem, so I could be in Australia as well and they would have said the same.
I guess the better option is not to buy a custom one. Moreover they had offered me to send me one of the the standard ones (which they have in stock apparently) or wait for the one I have ordered. I chose to wait.
While waiting I'm using a cheap TPU case, with the XtremeGuard screen protector (which looks awful, but protects it).

It fits, but the speaker hole isn't centered properly.. I've had one (still do) but I'm using the Sedio Active X which I like better..

Look at the last pic of this post and you'll see what I'm talking about on the otterbox
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=9342504&postcount=12
Besides it covering the speaker, it also covers some of the top of the glass on the phone which the seido doesn't. It's easier to press the volume and power buttons with the seido. And the Seido also provides more grip than the Otterbox. The otterbox can be a little slippery. I think the seido looks way better. Also use XMAS15 if you decide on the seido and you'll get 15% off...

I just purchased an Otterbox Fascinate Impact Series Case case last week and it works great on my Mesmerize.
They have updated the case and now the glass isn't covered on the top of the phone, and the speaker hole is lined up. See photo from the otterbox site below:

I would disagree that it's slippery. It's made of silicone and has bumps in a carbon fiber patteron on the back to prevent it from slipping out of your hand. I have not dropped it once since I've gotten it.
The otterbox case adds a slight weight and bulk to the phone, but I've gotten used to it and I think it's worth it for the protection it provides. I also comes with a screen protector.
I haven't handled an Innocase Active X in person so I can't compare it fairly but I do like my otterbox.
I also had an invisible shield with full coverage but I regretted the extra coverage and would have prefered the standard front and back and ended up removing the shield fully and going with an otterbox case.

Yes, they have fixed the speaker hole issue with the latest revision..
But in the pic you showed the plastic still does cover some of the glass at the top on front (not the actual screen)..
Look at the sedio Active X and you'll see the entire glass is visible which looks better IMO..
And compared to the Seido the Otterbox is very slippery.. The Sedio has finger grips and a lot more silcone, not to mention the plastic hard X shape has a rubbery grip to it as well...
I have the revised Otterbox being shipped to me for free and I will still be using the Seido!!!
edit**
Also the volume and power buttons are easier to press with the Seido.. Not trying to sway anyone's opinion, just making a fair review between the two since I've used them both. I will say Otterbox has outstanding Customer Service and It would probably be more protective in a VERY hard fall, but I think the Seido will hold it's on...
Don't forget about price comparison.
The Seidio case is MSRP: US$29.95 + $5.90 shipping = 38.85
Currently no coupons can be used towards this time..
The Otterbox impact case is: $19.95 + $4.80 = 24.75
Coupon Code tb0111m (Exp 3/31).
You get 10% off at OtterBox.com! (-$2.00)
Free Shipping (U.S. orders only) (-$4.80)
New total: $17.95
I was even considering ordering the seidio case to try it out vs mine, but at $40 including shipping it's too much. I'm happy with my otterbox.
I just got my brother the otterbox commuter case for his mesmerize... It's a very nice case. Found it for around $30 shipped. I can see how someone could find it slippery... it does have a slippery feel to the back of it where there is hard plastic, but I don't think its enough that it would actually slip out of a hand. It definitely seems like it would protect in a fall though.... and it looks great. I've always been more than happy with otterbox... I currently have the otterbox defender case for my hd2, and I will buy an otterbox for whatever my next phone will be.

It definately works... I love mine, but then again I'm biased toward Otterbox cases..
Just in case anybody is looking for the Otterbox Commuter case for your Mesmerize, they sell them at Sam's Club now. They're still obviously only marketed for the Fascinate, but they are cheaper than any other place that I have seen.
I've got two BRAND new otterboxes still in the box they came in and I'm willing to sell them for $20 a peice.. Anyone local want one, let me know...
I just got a defender series case for my messmerize and its great the holster it came with is well built too.ask the holes line up fine and none of the screen is covered.

Had a couple of people lookin gor those cases.. oh well. No that was Joe Frede, last I heard before some stupid chick pulled out in front of him he had 120k miles on it, and the only thing he had done to it was having the valves adjusted twice during the bikes life span. I put about 25k miles on my Busa.

You aren't serious, right? An air bag? Just get an Otterbox and you'll be fine. And if you want something to read a situation and deploy PRIOR to impact, you really should look into having this for a vehicle first. And really, what are you doing that you get into so many wrecks that you're worried about your phone needing it's own airbag.
I don't mean to poke fun, but seriously man, I hope you are really tired or high. When I get to work I'll call professor x to see what we can whip up for you.
From my experience even the thinner/smaller cases help a lot. Even if an airbag was feasible, it'd be overkill lol.

In all seriousness i am trying to get my post count up so i can comment in development. So you may see some useless~pointless comments from me until i hit 10 post. Yea my statement was intended more in line with funny, not to be taken seriously.
But having your attention, i did want to thank you for your work with the mez. I got froyo on her and voodoo and am stoked!!! thanks BRO!!
Should get my desire HD tomorrow and get shut of my iphone 4 but I just can't decide on a case for the thing, I'm leaning towards the case mate tough (had one for both my iPhone 4 and Galaxy S) but I find it a bit on the industrial side, the pop looks nicer but to be honest looks twice the size of the tough, I'm even contemplating just using a screen protector plus official HTC slip case.
If anyone has experience with any or all of those cases your input would be appreciated. Thanks.
I heard a lot of people are using otterbox defender and otterbox commuter. Try searching for it, you might like it.
Wouldn't get anything other than an otterbox commuter from now on for my phones, very impressed with this one
Sent from my Desire HD using XDA App
I've bought a few and my favourite is the Case Mate tough. You wont be disappointed with that one. I have recommended it a few times and others have got it and they are very happy. It improves the DHD feel and obviously offers good protection as its a dual case.
I also have the Case mate pop case thats good too. But I would say go for the Case mate Tough.
Heres a video of the Tough

I'm just wondering and not trying to piss anyone off, but... You've got a phone made out of one-piece metal, it's big enough as it is without any extra and it's almost all screen. So the question here remains why you wan't to have a case for it to begin with? I've had mine since launch and all I've got is an invisibleshield screen protector (just to keep excess fingerprints off, which it does very well, and a little scratch protection just in case) and there's not a single scratch or mark in it anywhere. I've drop it a few times and nothing. I'm just saying that all kinds of bumpers etc are an iphone thing and really not needed with the DHD, which just makes it even greater! Just flash it off as it is Just my 2 cents though.
There are quite a few threads about different cases.
I prefer this one which I reviewed in this thread. They are available under a different name for much cheaper on eBay according to other users. I love the look, lines and feel of the phone with it on.

Yeah that's the kind i got for £3 odd off of amazon, it doesn't add much to the size but it keeps it safe when I drop it and provides some protection to the screen as well
I've got the Otterbox Commuter. Feels well protected but the only draw back with this case is that the silicon cover is a dust magnet (like others made of the same material I'd imagine). It can be a little nagging when trying to pull the phone out of your pocket as well. The weight and feel of the phone in your hand is improved in my opinion -- it doesn't feel as delicate and slippery as the phone is without the case. The plastic casing is rugged, but rather smooth. If you have a dry hand, the potential of it slipping from your hands is there. I like the Case-Mate Pop idea of having a grip on the long edge of the phone.
Also, try to find an alternative cloth/material to wipe the screen down prior to applying the screen protector. The one that comes with it pretty dusty and ruined my screen protector. Use a credit card and not the flimsy applicator card.
If I'm not mistaken, the screen protector that comes with the Otterbox looks nearly identical to the ones you can get off dealextreme (specific to the DHD) for less than a couple of bucks. I wouldn't be surprised if they were in fact the same!
I have a few days to return the case. I'm 80% convinced I want to keep it only because the dust accumulation and "pocket stick" is bothering me enough. If it were a ~25$ case, I could live with it... but for $44 CAD, it's a little tough to swallow.
I'm wondering if there are any fashionable aluminum casings for the HTC Desire (I saw one, but looked a little odd with the belt-clip adapter on the back of the case). I'm also wondering if aluminum interferes with the phone's radio.
Ended up going for the pop, think it's the best looking of the lot offering the same level of protection. I will let you know how I get on with it, cheers for the input guys.

The Case mate Tough in particular greatly improves grip and feel of the phone, without it the DHD feels quite slippery and it just offers good protection.
I think increasing the grip is a bit more important (sorry that I'm posting it on this thread). But the way the DHD was designed, it's a bit awkward to hold which kinda bothers me.
so yeah, getting a case = definitely worth it =)

Got my device yesterday and I'm still thinking of getting a leather case to protect my device against slips. But I'm also looking at hard rubber casing.
S-line curve gel case black
i just received S-line curve gel case
http://cgi.ebay.ch/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?...ht_1588wt_1139
its a cheap good case, stylish , doesnt add bulk , adds very good grip on that mesh at the phone's sides , buttons r easy to use and they kinda pop out of the case so they r easily reachable (unlike other gel cases).
definitely recommend it as its very cheap and offers good protection and doesnt distorts the shape of the phone much.

Yes. I got it from Yodobashi Camera (a store) in Japan.
Funnily enough, I'm supposed to be reviewing 2 more cases from the same store today, my day-off (if I can wake up). They are both SoftBank branded cases. One is a TPU case and is almost the same but is different, and one is a leather one (which to be honest I don't like).

I was perusing the Rearth Case thread and from there came across the i-Blason TPU case. Like the Rearth, it's $10USD well in US, not sure if it's available internationally yet.
I have it on and sporting it right now. I do like it. It gives the phone better grip IMO. The only negative is that it's not clear. I mean you can still see the nexus name but not the sparklies lol. I have also posted a pic of a holster that I had back when the HTC Sensation first came out and I needed some sort of holster before Seidio came out with one. Don't mind the cords lol...

Um, I already ordered two other cases but I like this one better.
Put it on my wish list.
I also ordered this same case, in the frost, I will also post my impressions about it.

If someone could comment on a good glossy tpu case (maybe this one is), I find those have much better grip than matte.

I don't have a N4 but waiting for one eventually and wanted to see what cases there are. Currently I have a Sensation with an i-Blason case and love it as well. Anyone want to try it out? I personally want a clear/frost one. Other colors are black and pink.

I respectfully disagree with your opinion. For my Sensation, I have both the cheap ebay ones that can be bought for around 2-4 dollars and I currently have the i-Blason. Yes they are similar, but the main difference for me when I got these for my Sensation was that the openings and buttons did not align 100%. With the i-Blason, on the Sensation anyway did. So that is why I was inquiring if anyone has tried these out yet.
But you may be right, you never know with new products, but I want to see the proof in the pudding.
I don't know about their quality yet, but I pre-ordered with them because they claimed to be shipping on the 13th. So I figured I'd pick it up just because it was the first case I saw available.
Well turns out it didn't ship until the 21st and that was the last day of their expected timeframe that it would be delivered. They did not expedite the shipping and would not get back to me about requesting a refund on the shipping.
At this point, even if it's a nice case I'm sending it back. I don't like doing business with companies that fail to communicate (and yes, at least with Google I had someone to call regardless of them knowing something, they still answered. They also honored Free shipping for failing to meet shipping timeframe).
Other than that, I ordered the black one and I'll update with the quality of it and pics with it on the device.

I also ordered this case in Frost Clear.
I was a little disheartened to look at the product photos today and see the true representation of the case on the phone.
When I ordered the case on the 19th, the images they showed on Amazon were obviously Photoshopped, but I had hoped they were a decent representation of the case, just not having an actual model phone to place them on for product photos.
The Frost Clear product on the 19th looked like this in their image : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
Now, looking at the new image they have, the thing is near white. : imgur.com/PrIEy.jpg
I should have mine in an hour or two, and can take photos and post if anyone is interested. I'll wait to get it in my hands to determine if I'm satisfied. I was looking for something a bit more subdued and dark, yet clear enough to see the rear design of the phone a bit. This new white frosted version is much the opposite of that.

Hmmm, for my sisters s3 she had also ordered 2 cases. One from I-Blason for 15$ and the same on from hong kong for 2.50$ and in the end I think even the Hong Kong was better but your opinion is your own and I will not change it Its just im in high school and I make sure to get the best deals because I cant just go buy the most expensive ones.
Received mine - Photos
Just got mine in the mail. Again, it's definitely not what I was expecting with the original product shots they used on the amazon page.
Here's the gallery : imgur.com/a/QcCKr
I got this as a stop-gap until the bumper or a nicer case was available, so I'm not cringing so much for the time being, but it definitely looks cheap and looks like a toy with this on.
I was hoping for a more tinted plastic with a dark tinted plastic for the back, as the original images would have you believe.
I can say, for the most part, the new photos are very representative of the final product.
Aside from the looks, it feels pretty secure. the case has a bit of give on the left and right sides of the phone, making it feel squishy. The back part that is frosted isn't very grippy, it's more of a paper-like feel, like they just sanded down the clear material. there's no logos to be seen on the case at all, which i'm actually quite happy about. I figured the i-blason logo was going to be on the back, as some of the images had shown. The clear portions aren't super grippy, but there's a bit more than the bare Nexus 4 had. The buttons are harder to press than they are bare.Kinda hard to get used to the pressure needed. It's not a ton, but more than I'm used to.
There's a notch at the top of the front, for the receiver, which was a nice touch, to keep it fully open. The ridge around the front of the phone covers the chrome completely and comes in on the curved glass almost all the way. the height from screen-plane to top of the ridge is probably no more than 1mm, if that. It's the same thickness as a credit card, if that gives anyone a good indicator.
Overall, I'm alright with the purchase. I wasn't expecting a top quality case, just something to make me feel a bit more secure with it until the right case arrives. I didn't like the common s-curve case, so I got this one. sorta wished I had gotten the dark grey s-curve instead, to have the darker look I wanted.
Hope this helps anyone else out there.

Just got mine, I ordered the black, but amazon sent me the Frost Clear along with the Black, so I got 2 cases for the price of one lol....I can tell you the black looks nice, much nicer then the clear I think, I had a clear one on my S3 and no matter what clear TPU starts to turn yellow over time. Will post some pics in a few of the black. The case looks alot like Diztronic it has a matte black finish on the back and gloss bezel, it covers the curved edge of the glass, which for me is a nice touch since most screen protectors that arent wet apply won't be covering that part of the phone...one thing is the bottom and top edge, since the bezel is covered up my screen protector i had to cut since it was pushing it up other than that great buy for 10 bucks..also the cutouts are perfectly aligned....no complaints fits securely in the case much like a Diztronic case.
And a few more pics
Well I got my covers and id post pictures but they'd just be redundant. Not much to see

Any way to polish up the back to make it more grippy? Seems silly to have a case be just as slippery as the phone

Really havent tried the clear one but the black one is grippy enough where its not super slippery like the phone itself. the back feels the same as the matte finishes on my diztronic cases.
Just received my frost clear one in the mail. Honestly wasn't expecting too much out of it, so I'm pretty content with the product. Sorry I don't have another camera on me to take pictures of it with it on the phone, but the updated pictures on their Amazon page comes pretty close. It is clear around with the back having that "frost" look, so you can see the Nexus and LG logo pretty clearly. I would've liked it if the whole case all around was that translucent frost, but IMO it's not too bad. I also wish the cut outs were more precise, especially for the rear speaker. It's just this big cut out as if they just guesstimated it... this is one thing that looks better and more precisely done in the Amazon photos than IRL. But overall it's alright. Only using it so I don't have to be concerned with damaging my phone until I get a nicer case when they start coming out.
Hi around there,
are you using bags and/or case?

I prefer flip cases...

Very good quality - leather - very good price...
I'm using the original HTC case for this phone. I got it from eBay, for about 15 Euro. It fits the phone perfectly, as expected. It's scratch-resistant and it looks just dandy. My only grief with it is that the upper front "lip" (the case has sort of a lip close to the power button and headphones jack, maybe to grip the phone a little better) had to be filed off a little, because every time i would slide the phone into the case, the lip would lift my screen protector (it was an easy 10 minute fix).
Had case but not using it anymore. It made Gsm and WiFi signal weak. Now, without case all OK.

Got one free, similar to the OP's but red. Planning on getting the Zagg full body invisible shield for it, should be good at least from the reviews.

Funny that same thing happens with my other device - Note2. And on that I am using genuine Samsung hard shell case.

Sorry to reawaken a dead thread, but are you still using this case? Does the white back cover show through around the camera, or does the silicon part cover right up to the black camera cover? Considering either your one or a similar one by the same manufacturer (can't post links apparently, but the eBay item ID is 190846814472).

No problem at all. Hopefully I can help ya out.
I've moved on to the S3 so I no longer have any of these cases. The white, back cover of the SV does show through a little but not much.
Check this link out. It has the case available in 8 color combos. I ended up buying the black rubber w/ red plastic and the one with yellow rubber w/ black plastic. What's so cool about buying a couple is it allows you to mix up the cases and get more options. I had 2 cases and ended up with 4 combos. lol :good:
http://www.amazon.com/Eagle-Cell-PH...ickstand/dp/B00B7ZEPDA/ref=sr_1_5/?s=wireless
This case is by far one of the absolute best fitting cases I have ever had and it is very well made. The kickstand comes in very handy too.. This is saying a lot because out of all the phones I've owned, I've probably bought 30 cases. For the price, you can't beat it!!
The white showing through the camera opening is minimal. I shared this case with many of my buddies over in the Android Forums, Boost HTC One SV section and many of them ended up buying it. Every single one of them loved it and not a one said anything about the camera opening. :good:

Thanks for that! Went for red plastic on black silicone. Should get it tomorrow! I might try out the "shellster" case Amster do, seeing as it protects the screen, but it seems bulky...

Aye, this is pretty neat. There's maybe about a 3mm gap around the camera where the white shows, but it actually looks surprisingly nice with the white highlights. The kickstand is extremely tight (had to pop it out with a wee metal ruler) but I'd rather that than have it falling out all the time when I'm not using it!
Sent from my HTC One SV using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
It fits like a glove too doesn't it? For the money, it's a very nice case. You can get 1 more case and end up with 4 different color combos. As I mentioned earlier, I bought the red plastic w/ blsck rubber and the black plastic w/ yellow rubber. I used the black on black combo quit a bit. I liked the yellow rubber w/ red plastic too. It was something different that stood out. Easy to spot too! LOL!!!!
I'm glad you like it. My kickstands fit tight too as you mentioned. I'm like you. I would rather have them fit tight than have them flopping open all the time.
I recommend going with Tech Armor screen protectors also. The company has an installation video that if followed correctly, will eliminate bubbles. They have a lifetime warranty too. I went with the HD clear protectors and they look great inside. They're a little difficult to see in the California sunshine though. I talked w/ a buddy of mine who bought the Tech Armor matte protectors. I just sent him one of mine today and he is sending me one of his. I know the matte will not look as good as far as screen clarity but it will probably help cut down on the glare when outside. Seeing as I'm outside a good bit, if the matte is easier to see I'll probably end up ordering a 3 pack of them.
Tech Armor makes a great product and they are well worth the $6 or $7 price tag for a 3 pack. :good:

Came in today ... Initial impression: really liking it! Low profile, little to no bulk added, fits nice and snug and adds a great grip! Power and volume buttons still easily identifiable and responsive ... Seems like it'll provide decent protection, but hopefully I won't have to test that aspect of the case [emoji12]
Will update as I get more time with it, but seems like it'll be worth the 12/13 bucks!

It's not as soft and sticky as some other TPU cases I've used. It's a bit more rigid than your typical TPU and not as "sticky" ... slides in/out of my pocket and case easily.

I received my i-Blason in the mail today. I've been using the very case you linked. The i-Blason one is without a doubt easier to hold. It provides so much more grip compared to the plastic snap-on case. The snap-on case does seem to provide a slightly larger protective lip on the front of the case, so the screen won't touch a flat surface when face down.
While I've only had the i-Blason for a few hours, so far it seems like a great deal. Especially for those that want to show off their backside. (Pun intended) The snap-on case is still another great deal and despite it's defects I still like it, I already miss the feeling of the ridges on the power button. I think everyone should keep in mind that both cases seem to be minimalists cases, in which they will protect the phone from simple scratches, bumps, and minor drops.
Cool, thanks for the info. I just ordered the i-Blason a couple of hours ago.
Sent from my XT1575 using Tapatalk
So I have to say I am a little less enthusiastic about this case thank I hoped I would be. I already submitted a return request through Amazon. I find that the edges of the case are not well done, they are squishy and don't tightly hold to the phone. I guess I am spoiled by the Incipio Octane, which the phone "snaps" into and literally fits perfectly, no movement, no squishy.

I skipped every other case and ordered a Incipio Octane Frost last week. I could already tell from the increased price and reviews of each product that there was a good quality difference there. Though my Moto X is not here yet the case came in and it is top notch. I would expect most cases of quality be around $20 and not less.
That i-Blason is so clear it looks like it can get beat up real quick. Even though it is less visible, I prefer frosted.

I'm surprised, the edges on mine feel pretty darn solid and tight.
I did email the company when my case didn't ship out when expected and they got back to me and stated there were quality control issues causing the delay. Perhaps they sent you out a bad one??

I just got my iBlaison clear case: it's OK. The cut-out on the back is off-center. I hope this doesn't stain as badly as my G3's, where the case picked up dark smudges around every corner and edge of the case. And, the stains doesn't come off since I tried cleaning it with soap and water.
Damn. Got an email from amazon saying mine shipped today but not due til the 20-22. WTF? I ordered 2 weeks ago as preorder. Said they would be in stock on the 15th, so it is shipped early, but damn. Two weeks to get it after shipping?

I ordered this today as well. I like what I'm hearing in this thread. I'll get mine on Wednesday. This seems pretty good until a slightly better clear case comes along. I dig Spigen cases, so hopefully they'll make one for this phone.

That's what happened to me. I waited two weeks for the case and it shipped from (I think) China because the shipper was DHL International.
Just got mine. It's a decent case, but not perfect. Not sure what to expect for cost. I have rubber back and I feel safer now with case on grip wise. MUCH easier to handle 1 handed. I have big hands and was never concerned about size of phone. I don't have 100% fit around buttons or directly across. Bottom half fits better. My phone has tendency to run warm. Can feel warmth thru case. Current temp 105. I have white front /back, so I'm definitely grateful to have something on this versus bumper. I usually never use a case, but felt prudent to do so with this phone. I think people will be okay with this case. Not perfect, but it doesn't suck either.

I agree with above. It's not air cushioned like some Spigen clear cases are, but it's actually more supple and durable than I thought it might be. I ordered the Case Mate Naked Tough case today, and this should do fine until that comes.

I guess I am spoiled by the Incipio Octane, which the phone "snaps" into and literally fits perfectly, no movement, no squishy.

I'm surprised, the edges on mine feel pretty darn solid and tight.
I did email the company when my case didn't ship out when expected and they got back to me and stated there were quality control issues causing the delay. Perhaps they sent you out a bad one??

Just got mine. It's a decent case, but not perfect. Not sure what to expect for cost. I have rubber back and I feel safer now with case on grip wise. MUCH easier to handle 1 handed. I have big hands and was never concerned about size of phone. I don't have 100% fit around buttons or directly across. Bottom half fits better. My phone has tendency to run warm. Can feel warmth thru case. Current temp 105. I have white front /back, so I'm definitely grateful to have something on this versus bumper. I usually never use a case, but felt prudent to do so with this phone. I think people will be okay with this case. Not perfect, but it doesn't suck either.

Personally I'm not a fan. I'll be returning it
The top and bottom edges are very loose

I will be ordering it. Will post feedback later.
Thanks for the info.
