[Q] Leather Cases

Im looking into purchasing a leather case, but im curious if the magnet in the case can have any effect on the phone? Especially the ones in the cheap cases.
like this one... ( i cant post link)
so type
Leather Case Skin for Samsung Galaxy S Epic 4G Sprint in the ebay search box and it should come up.
If anyone has any recommendations for other leather cases please let me know. Also feel free to share your experiences with leather cases.
Thank You

Havent had a problem, use a leather magnetic case from eddie bauer that I found at Best Buy mobile.

Does anybody have or use the Seidio leather case for the epic? Just wondering how well it fits the phone or how well the phone slides in and out of it. Also how easily can the magnet be clamped and unclamped while not looking at it.

I bought the bestsources (seller's name, not necessarily a description, though I've had good experiences with them ) case -- I had one for my Touch Pro, one for my N900, and now one for my Epic when it gets here.
In the meantime, I'm using the N900's case for it. Fitting, since I usually used the Touch Pro's case for the N900... :/ I wonder if I'm even going to use the Epic's case.
The magnet hasn't caused any problems at all with the Epic that I've noticed.

The leather case is designed to fit a bare device so it will slide in/out smoothly, The magnet is pretty strong but works fluently with the case.
The magnet does not affect the phone.

I bought a leather holster at the Sprint store today actually.
It has a magnet, but it is not near as strong as some of the ones I have had in the past, but it still holds the flap strong against the case.
This particular case even has the Galaxy S logo etched into the metal in the middle of the flap - yeah its sexy.
$34 at Sprint, and since its Galaxy S Branded, I think it's a good deal.

GS3 Case

I wanna keep the phone as sleek as possible , what cases do you guys recommend ? any nice bumper case because I can't seem to find anything nice like I don't want those otterbox cases they make a phone look like a transformer.
Thanks guys

ive had a cheap little sleeve, and it really did nothing for protection. I know your against otterboxs, but I will still recommend a otterbox commuter. It DOES add some thickness to your phone, but it offers amazing protection. a sleeve really only protects from scratches, not big drops.

They might be but I don't like making my phone look like robocop lol

I love these cases very slim http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...le-phone---screen-protector.html#.UCa996O3PFo
Or this one http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...rethane-tpu)-case-cover-for.html#.UCbAGKO3PFo

I went to the mall to test out the cheap cases and I could hear my phone hit the glass counter top when I gently turned it over. I went directly to Best Buy Mobile and overpaid for a Belkin... which is what I also bought for my original Incredible. I love the fit, protection, and coverage of the buttons. I clean my phones daily, so I like that the buttons aren't exposed.
Just my 2 cents.
Good luck with whatever you decide!

The inciPio silicrylic case. It's a slim 2 piece case at a reasonable price. It looks so GOOD to me. ( I have a white galaxy s 3 with the white and gray version of this case ) it's stylish, slim, and provides great protection

I have been really impressed with this case...not too bulky, nice grip on the side, the corners have extra reinforcement.

I have the Incipio Dual black/black on my white phone. Looks super sexy and really doesnt add much bulk while still providing great protection.

You can look at SGP's line of cases,
http://www.spigen.com/cell-phone/samsung/galaxy-s3.html
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Color Series (TPU back cover and a polycarbonate frame)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Neo Hybrid Lumi Series (Same as Color Series but brighter colors)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Ultra Thin Air Series (Polycarbonate back)
Samsung Galaxy S3 Case Modello Series (TPU Case)

I've tried the Incipio case and currently use an Otterbox. The Incipio case was nice and the color complimented well, but felt too loose. The Otterbox fits tight, but is too tight for those who need to change battery frequently or whatever. I haven't completed decided which I like better.

Cases with Vertical Kickstands

Why is it so hard (impossible) to find a quality case with a vertical kickstand? Am I the only one who wants this feature? Is there something about the engineering of such cases that makes it a tough feature to incorporate? I can only find the cheap cases that have this feature and they are usually poorly made and very bulky.

Samsung has done us no favors with the variety and availability of good accessories for this phone. However the Seidio case is what have chosen. Nothing vertical yet. And I have looked. Thoroughly.

Im the other person in the world who misses the kickstand i had on my Trident Kraken case for the Note 3. I LOVED that case!! Unfortunately, Trident isnt making one for the Note Edge.
As for kickstands, I haven't found one attached to a UAG Maverick style case yet. However, I have seen the kickstands that you buy separately. A simple search on Google will It's not a perfect solution, but it's doable. Im considering that option for my Note Edge.
Your thoughts??

not vertical, but i got the seidio surface and it is a beautifully made, strong case with horizontal kickstand

Case oh Case, where art thou

Hey everyone, I finally upgraded from an S3 to an S6 and loving it. On my S3 I was using a UAG case which it still has and still works great. Now that I have a S6, I want to try something different than UAG.
I was wondering if anyone has used or have one of the following cases im pondering on:
Ballistic Explorer
Ballistic Tough Jacket
Spigen Slim Armor
Spigen Tough Armor
If you have one, can you share pics and your experiences so far? Thank you all its been awhile

take a look at http://www.pure-gear.com/shop-by-de...xtreme-shock-case-for-samsung-galaxy-s-6.html. I upgraded from s3 and UAG too. I love the new dualtek case. By the way UAG wasnt that protective I guess because It scratched my phones back and sides over time.

Currently using the Spigen Slim Armor in white. Love how it makes the phone feel and the durability it adds.
I upgraded from a Note 4, so the sizing was a bit odd to get use to at first but I'm loving it so far.
Highly recommend the case, but just not in white. Picks up and makes dirt way more visible then other cases.

Armor case recommended

Armor one is always better than other case.

Thank you for the feedback and suggestions, I checked my S3 and it has no scratches from the UAG case. I'll do some more reviews and once I pick one, I'll post pics
Maybe ill Buy two of them lol...

I have been selling cellphones for too long and I have at points swapped out cases weekly. The best cases are Uag, incipeo, spigen, bodyglove, tech21 for different reasons.
The ones for the s6 I have been swapping between.

Curious - I have the NGP also. Is yours properly aligned on the power/lock button? Mine moves a lot in that area when you go to click the lock button. Wondering if it's an issue with my case or the NGP in general. But overall I like the case a lot! It's like what I was expecting from Diztronic. (Which is pretty terrible for the S6 compared to my previous Moto X cases.)

i am a simple man, so i use hybrid case, i have bought this kit, when i got a s6

Non-Flip leather backed case for 6P

I've scoured the threads here, and the internet at large and haven't come across a leather backed open face case for the 6p. I am aware of the custom workaround at the moment of using a dbrand or slickwraps leather on a slim spigen or dztronic case but am wondering if there are any, or any eta's on an open faced, leather backed case. Distressed leather preferably.
Pierre Cardin makes them for the note 5 but not for the 6p which i found disappointing. I thought it might be because of the unique camera array on the back, but the folio cases manage to do it, so that can't be the issue.
Look forward to you your replies
cheers,
Pierre Cardin for note 5 example

have you looked into tetded?

Never mind. Just read the post again.

Yeah, teded has some decent folio cases but the flip, is just too much to deal with if you take pictures regularly. I tried it with my mate 7 and nexus 6 and it was not a good experience for me.

Ahh, I see they do. Too bad not the style of leather I would like though. A more distressed look like this would be cool

Would this be something you're interested in? http://www.amazon.com/Melkco-Premium-Genuine-Leather-Traditional/dp/B018DNYWM2/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1455718649&sr=8-3&keywords=nexus+6p+genuine+leather+case

I have this case in the brown

Or you could try a skin on a case. Something like this. Not real leather, I know, but some of them do look decent. I used the Spigen Rugged armor and d-brand. I've heard of others using Diztronic and the Spigen thin fit.

Slickwraps actually makes leather skins for the 6P; it's called their "Natural" series and they use Horween leather (same material as found on the Moto X and LG G4). It doesn't offer visor coverage like the vinyl skins do, but if you're looking for real leather this is probably your best bet.
I'd also suggest petitioning @LAURCORE (Toastmade) to research designing leather skins, too, as they had done for the Nexus 6.

Do you mind taking some pictures of it? I really want to try, but the reviews are scarce so I'm still a bit hesitant.

Is the case very soft to the touch? I got a Tetded case, and the leather is stretched so tight that it almost feels plasticky. This case looks amazing though. And I only see an option for black. How did you get brown?
