Hi Guys,
New owner of a desire HD here, loving it so far
I'm looking for a flip case, same idea as the Noreve in this thread.
I'd like something not too bulky, and ideally a leather/faux-leather texture (again, like the noreve)
What can you guys reccomend, go for the noreve or would there be anything else to consider?
Cheers in advance
Just got one of these ... http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400182232785&ssPageName=ADME:B:EOIBSA:GB:1123 ... *Seems* genuine leather - but I believe even the new leather smell can be faked! Does what I want though. Only critcismj is that the top part across the front of the phone obscures the notification bar a little. But I hardly use this anyway so not a great problem for me.
Arrived very quickly as well.

Yeah, you can't really pull the notification bar down but I would rather have the speaker well clear. It's only 2 key presses to get there anyway and it's great for standing up at various angles to watch video, use on car dash etc. Hey for 6 quid this has to be a great bargain .
You should really try Piel Frama iMagnum case for your dhd. It is really high quality, and more protective than Noreve case. It's a little bulkier, but worth it.

Well I solved the problem with notification bar easily: mapped a swipe action for pulling that out on app drawer button (Launcher Pro).

I've got the same case but from another store It's good but yes, it hides part of the notification bar and't it's a little tricky to drag it down. Still, it's a good case.
I recommend this case to you guy...

Sonivo Sneak Peak 2 - My opinion
Yes this case is available from Amazon, it’s also available from Mobile Fun which is where I bought it from.
I’ve had the case for a couple of weeks now and it’s brilliant, it does everything the genuine Samsung cases do plus more! And for a fraction of the price too!
The case has some great features, the sleep sensor is handy, initially I didn’t think this was something that was important but once I began using this case I’ve realised I hardly use the standby button on the side of my phone, which means I don’t have to fiddle around with any buttons to sleep or wake my phone. Simples!
It’s really thin too and has a nice sturdy leather texture, much better than some other cases I have seen which look flimsy like cardboard LOL the Sneak Peak 2 has that premium feel.
The stand feature is clever, one minute it’s a flip cover case, and next it’s a phone stand! Great if you use your phone to watch a lot of movies or use your phone in the landscape position.
I would highly recommend this case; it does everything you could want a phone case to do. Keeps its safe and protected, looks and feels great, has a built in stand and sleep sensor and is a lot more affordable than other cases on the market. :good:

Thank you so much for your review!
How's the corner protection on this case? and is their a window for the s-view function, or is it just simply a cut out on the cover?
Any chance you could upload some pictures?
Has anyone found a US-based seller other than mobilefun? That website only has black and white, but I'm trying to find the red one.

They have all the colors at the bottom:

So far, the only thing special that I can see about this s-view-esque case is the stand feature.
Other than that, meh, there are better s-view cases out there.
I would also like to know if there is a window for the s-view function, or is it just simply a cut out on the cover? thanks
Hi,
Sorry for the late response.
Yes the cut out gives you access to the screen, so if you receive an incoming call you can swipe directly without needing to open the cover. Whats also great is you can talk without needing to open the cover because it has a cut out for the speaker on the face of the S4.
Hope this helps!
Hi everyone!
I want to share with you this video for the Rock View cover on the Galaxy S5!
Enjoy!
Flow
Hi. Please explain:
1. It doesn't working at all - without additional app? It doesn't working like original s-view cover? It didn't use magnetic sensor?
2. To properly work it requires to turn off auto-brightness and maximize it?
1 - you absolutely need the app :/ it doesn't work as the s-view because S-view replace the back of the phone! I think it use the light sensor
2 - not sure
Cover feels ok for a cheap alternative to sview case. Like the functions that the app offer with the torch etc. Biggest complaint is insane battery drain with the official rock app running. It is insanely bad battery drain
I am planning to buy Motorola Moto G flip cover.
I found at several places that the magnet in flip cover is very powerful and it messes with phone compass (magnetometer).
I need to know after removing the flip cover (may be after 2-4 months of usage) can I calibrate the compass back to normal or is permanently damaged to repair at our own.
And what are the other side effects of using that cover.
Please help me in choosing a cover
I never uses flip cover with my moto g, I know Flip cover has issues but I don't think it will damage your magnetometre, do a simple test download a compass app from play store use it, note the direction with with flip cover on your phone, remove the flip cover, restart your phone,assuming that you don't change your phone location soo much test the directions once again, results will tell you the story, I love my official moto grip cover because it protects my phone from all possible ways or if you want more security u can also try Amzer 96960 Hybrid Kickstand Cover

I personally found more usable a good tpu case that covers all the edges and buttons with a nice leap around the screen. It makes the phone more accessible, there's no way can damage the phone and protect it from scratches and falls. Also you don't need to mess with a thing flapping all over, that may wear off during time and usage. One last thing that I still didn't figure out: how do people takes picture with flip covers on their phones?

I dont want to purchase and test it if it is useful or not, if anyone already using can tell the pros and cons.
I already have a good cover for my Moto G, Flipkart offered me some points in my wallet so I was planning for another one, but I wanted to know the feedback before buying it.
Anyways the flipcover is out of stock now, and I am not in a mood to buy it from ebay.
Thank You.

TPU case is good but it takes the beauty of phone, I never used those flip covers and was planning to buy one because retailer gave me points to shop with them.
I saw people taking picture with flip covers on their phones and it looks real funny to see that.

This Amzer 96960 Hybrid Kickstand Cove will make my Moto G a real bulky device and will take all its beauty.
Better I stick to the one which I already have.
The neodymium magnet, which holds the cover is inside the display frame and not in the cover itself, you've been misled.
The metal plate that's in the front of the flip cover is very small and it's hard to do anything to the magnetic field sensor in open or closed position. The only way eventually is if you flap the cover all day long.
About calibration, if you need to do that, just rotate the phone in circles few times over each of its axises.

First of all, I like your signature, it stands correct 99.9% times. Can I use the same as mine.
And about the flip cover I have dropped the plan for now as the covers are out of stock.
Thanks anyways.

I see, well that cover its certainly good if you can get it sometime in the future, when they restock.
"Also don't forget to press the Thanks button if I helped you, coz I post here only for that reason, helping others is not important, just a side effect." - just a joke, but sadly very real one.
My signature is just a text on a public forum, feel free to use it as it is or as you find fit.
Have a nice day

It was really nice interacting you.
Keep spreading smiles as much as we can.
See you around...
Here is the result, Finally!!!
I checked it a friend who is ownig s Moto G and Flip Cover from Motorola.
The phone with Motorola flip cover was showing a different North and phone without Motorola flip cover was showing diffrent North (I guess correct north) when both phones were kept side by side.
Removed the flip cover calibrated the compass and same test was done again and both phones were showing same North.
Also the magnet in the flip cover is very strong. I am dropping my plan for flip cover now even if it is available for free, because putting a powerful magne on the phone that too 24x7 may not be good idea.
I bought the Zenus Case "Zenus Minimal Diary for Galaxy Note Edge" I love the feel and function well worth the price. it also allows easy access to the edge functions with the case closed. Just wanted to drop a review for ya
http://www.zenuscase.net/smart-phones/galaxy-note-edge/zenus-minimal-diary-for-galaxy-note4html
looks really nice and i'm tempted to get it. do you know if it has the same features as Samsung's wallet? i believe it had a magnet inside and enables some features for the edge screen.
That case is about $40 or 36 on ebay

no, there is no magnet function on it.
The samsung cases actually replace the back panel. They have a chip inside so it isn't so easy to replicate, at least not for a little while anyway...
The Note 3 was the same....
looks nice enough that. a bit crippling when it does not replicate the functionality of the OEM flip cover from samsung, though.
still, the original flip cover does cause some serious battery drainage (cocktail bar service). i prefer to keep my original back cover on.
the case is usually left home, unless i know i won't be gone for long.
