I've reviewed these in the past, this makes a nice inexpensive color swap if you want a wood cover for your device.

I'm on my 2nd Toast skin, and it's as nice as ever. Perfect for those of us who couldn't decide whether we wanted a permanent wood back or not.
Does anyone else use these skins? I would like to see some pics.
could theese skins be used instead of the original back cover? since it is also only glued to the back?

I am finally taking the leap back to Samsung after being a Samsung Hater since my GS2. Have had every Htc and LG phone since. Im excited to have a phone that every accessory known to man is available.
Having ZERO experience with Sview, id like to know do case companies make Sview cases or are they propreitary to Samsung? I really liked the LG circle case, and had a leather one made by TETDED which was really cool. Thanks
The only truly leather case which works like a S View case is made by Montblanc see here http://m.montblanc.com/en-gb/produc...let-computer-case-ii-sgn4-black-s-113387.aspx
And why do you think that has the view box? There are tons of leather diary style cases. I'm looking for one with the windo
The Samsung sview is actually really nice. If you register you phone with sammy, they send you a 50% off any accessories under $50, so the sview ends up being $25. It's not leather, but still feels nice. Hit up Best Buy and pull one out of the box, see how you like it.

Obviously the case does not have a view window. I am not stupid. But it is like the S View in that it has the electronics and connectivity of the S View case and allows access to additional software. Not all S View cases have a window there is a style with LED display. If you find a leather case with the special connectors please post a link.
The official Samsung S View case is decent but flawed. If you flip the front cover open all the way around to the back cover, in order to hold it normally, you will notice that it becomes easier to accidently open the case now as the binding weakens.
Ever since I saw that Note 4 leak during the summer I've wanted that rough textured back cover, similar to what the One Plus One has in Sandstone Black. Anyone seen 3rd party back covers appear anywhere? I haven't seen any and that's disappointing.
I had one for my Note 3. The back cover is thicker, you can't put any case on it. If you use your phone naked then invest in one. The aluminum one that I had looks pretty cool.

Check ebay I have seen some on there leather, aluminum, wood, Kevlar too unfortunately not available somewhere close by to check em out before buying but they where cheap $6-$8 and I think it was free shipping
Check skinomi and I phantomskins. They've got great stuff. Had a black and grey carbon fiber ones on my Droid X and GS3. Going with a case on the N4. Want to keep it pristine.

Thanks for the suggestions. I never use a case so I'm not worried about the back cover affecting the shape of the phone. I wish more official 3rd party companies would produce more of a variety.
I am sure in time you will have all kinds of cover available.
Ebay has some already.
Here's an aluminum one.

I've noticed a lot of posts about cases, bumpers, etc. If you are like me, you are not a huge fan of hiding a beautiful new phone you just bought. No offence to those that like cases, I just like to enjoy the phone without any 'additions'.
I've always been a big fan of leather sleeves / pouches. They are a great way to prevent scratches and even save your phone from mild drops when you aren't using it. When you have your phone out you have a nice space to lay it on that won't get it scratched either.
So far I have seen the leather sleeve made by SENA:
- http://www.senacases.com/product/heritage-ultraslim-samsung-galaxy-s6/
I'm wondering if there are any other sleeve fans out there and if anyone else has found any sleeves / pouches that are a slim fit and of high quality?
The one linked above won't be available until late may
Cheers!

Nice find. I just took a look at the site, it's too bad they don't make any full pouches without a cutout on the bottom. I don't really want any part of the phone exposed except for on the top open side of course.
How do you find it?

I'm the same way, I hate putting a case on my phones.
I bought this one for my S6 : fitBAG Black Nappa Leather.
I really like it, it's very thin with a nice material insides that helps remove fingerprints if there are any (I was quite surprised that both the front and the back don't take fingerprints easily, which goes completely against what I've seen in some reviews..) and will for sure not scratch the phone.
It's good quality, well made, and real leather.
It only has an opening on top and the phone is completely covered and won't fall off by itself, though it's not hard to remove it if you press the phone on the bottom of the pouch (it fits perfectly without being incredibly hard to put in and remove).
I hope that helps you.
I've heard very good stories about these leather pouches on Etsy. While not the cheapest, I've read they are of great quality and look good. All handmade and in case you wanna use it in combination with an extra case/bumper she'll custom make them for you. I've ordered one 2 days ago, expecting to get it next week (along with my S6 ).
I'll let you know how it is.
I got this one for myself, I am very happy with it.
So I'm trying to decide what kind of holster I want to get for my Pure. Yes, I know that holsters are out of style, and frankly I don't care. The phone is too large for me to put in my pocket *and* do my work without worrying that I'm going to bend the phone or whatever.
I had a vertical holster for my 2013 Moto X, but I think that I'd like to go horizontal this time since this phone is taller than my last one. I'm not terribly impressed by the ones that are marketed strictly for the Pure, so I did a size comparison with the Note 4 and found a couple that I liked. But... while the Pure is about the same size as the Note 4 it is a bit thicker due to the curve. So, would you all think that something like this should work??

Right now I only have the bumper case on, but if I find a slim kickstand that I like I may put that on.
Let me know how you think it would fit in these! I appreciate your input!

I saw a couple unboxing videos where the size seemed to exactly match some other phones (but I don't know what they were.)
I bought a slim $7 otterbox knockoff shell + holster clip. And I will look for something else when they start making more cases. I really like the way the urvoix looks, but the rip of velcro everytime I grab my phone is not going to work for me, especially in meetings.
When I told my wife that I was looking for something with a belt clip, she suggested that I put my phone in a pocket protector and hang it from my fanny pack, so I'm guessing these are no longer in fashion.

Yeah, that's what they tell me at least. But I jump in and out of forklifts all day and move farm supplies all over the place, so I can't do what needs to be done with a phone in my pocket. I'll be unfashionable if it means not having to replace a $450 phone over a hard landing.
There were a couple other canvas horizontal holders that were magnetic, and I thought about them as well.
Today I just picked up a mint condition Moto X 2014, customized on top of customized. Black face with black front accents and a bamboo back with a silver frame and silver rear accents. I couldn't ask for a better color combination. Now I'm having trouble picking out a case. Of course I want the bamboo to show, but I also want to keep the metal from getting dinged up. And even more so, I want to protect the glass edges on the front. I'd like to get a bumper, but Hula is the only backless rubber bumper I've found. Unfortunately, nobody has them in black at the moment, and I don't like the colors that are currently available. I also don't like the look of the 100% clear rubber cases on a black face.
So, has anybody tried one of the metal bumpers found all over eBay? I like the look but I'm concerned that a metal bumper on the metal frame would cause scratches. Or even worse, if the metal bumper were to abrade against the wood back there could be scratches or gouges in the finish. Any experience or opinions here?
Also, does anybody know of a rubber bumper case with an open back besides the Hula? Or even better, a rubber case that has black edges and a full clear back? I'll probably end up getting a Supcase Unicorn Beetle for now because that's as close as I can find. But the back of the Supcase is opaque, not fully clear, and it has colored grip areas that intrude into the wood space on the sides of the back. I looked at the Poetic Affinity, but that looks too industrial for me. Especially when compared to the seriously awesome look of the naked Moto. I know I probably sound absurdly picky, but we're talking about a phone where one of it's most touted features is the ability to customize it, right?
Oh, and I tried to search the Accessories forum, but the search bar seems to be missing on my screen. So I spent the last 4 hours manually searching through the threads here and cross-referencing them with Google. If anybody has any ideas, suggestions or input, I'd be very happy to hear it. Especially if it involves customizing of accessories.

I have the same color combination on my phone.
I have the SUPCASE, black surround with frosted back. The actual frosting on mine is very slight, almost perfectly clear.
I also found this case on Amazon which might fit your needs:
http://www.amazon.com/Moto-Case-Pro..._UL160_SR160,160_&refRID=19ZQH1HS8H411V2A8573
I am currently using a Case-mate Gelli Case for Moto X. Same as this case sold through the Motorola store but I bought it through Ebay for much less:
http://www.motorola.com/us/consumers/cases-FLEXR2/
I like this case a little better than the other because it fits in my holster better and just feel better in my hand but it does not offer the same level of protection as the others.

This one appears to have a black edge with a clear back which would be PERFECT if I could find it for sale anywhere. The Motorola site doesn't have any, the Case-mate site doesn't even list the Gelli series for our phone, and there's none to be found on eBay or Amazon. If you, or anyone else knows where I can get one, I'd be extraordinarily thankful. Or perhaps if someone on here has one to sell, I'm all ears.
