I had one of these for my M7 and loved it, so I wanted to get one for my M9. These are made of genuine good-quality leather and the construction is pretty solid. My M7 case is showing very little wear after a year of use.
The only drawback is that, as far as I've been able to tell, these are not available from retailers outside of China, so you have to order and wait. I got mine from ipromarket and it took about three weeks from order to receipt.
There are two styles/colors, red-brown and black.

The liner is made from TPU leather.
There is room for 2-3 IDs or credit cards in the slot without affecting the bulk. The cover is held closed with a small magnet , though not tightly (this is good; you don't want a strong magnet lest it damage your credit cards).
The phone fits snugly in the case, and in my experience with my M7, protection is good. I've dropped it a few times with no damage to either the phone or the case.
It does slightly obstruct access to the power button on the side, however.
Access to the microUSB port and headphone jack is unobstructed.
All in all, for ~$25, this is a great value for a leather folio case.
Update: This is not a smart case, but modding it to be one is not challenging. I didn't take any pictures of the process, but it's pretty straightforward. You just need a slim battery to slide inside the cover. I used two 5/16" x 1/32" N52 disc magnets from K&J Magnetics.
What I did was use a razor blade to slice the cover open at the backseam along the "hinge" and peel it back far enough to insert the magnet. The interior of the cover has a flexible plastic frame that you need to carve out a recess for the magnet into. I took my time with this to avoid cutting into the leather. Then I glued the cover back together.
You can see here where the magnet should go (the little circle just below and to the right of the logo on the inside of the cover ). The only reason you can see anything is that I initially tried gluing the magnet in that spot, then decided I didn't like that approach.
You do need to have Dot View enabled for the smart cover function to work. I initially had it disabled and had an extremely frustrating time trying to figure out where the magnet needed to be.
Thank bro, Nice review

I was originally worried about http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008LM04T6/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i01 this case but it turned out to be quite nice. it does add bulk tho so i would reccomend it to travelers and those who work in non office areas, perfect for cafe's and other busy places. best thing is both cameras work with no obstruction, and can separate for days you know you wont be using the keyboard, and then it looks real slim, pockets for everything see pics below and ask any questions, there is suede on the inside it looks real premium

Great photos. Thanks for that. I'm waiting on mine to arrive from the US (must be stuck on a boat somewhere). What youhave described is perfect for what I need the case for.
I happen to have essentially the same one, save mine doesn't have the SD card holders (although I remember them being advertised, I do not need them so I let it slide). I commute by train (4 to 5 hours per shift), and so far it has behaved commendably. It is bulky, but it does feel a bit safer than having the TF700 all naked in my bag.The corners are free, though, so if dropped on a corner the device will still suffer quite a bit.
End of story: even with a case, don't drop it?
PS: what I like as well is that the flap that folds over the screen backwards makes the tablet/dock combination quite a bit more stable when you let the contraption rest on it. Wow, that is unclear, but I do not know how to phrase it more clearly. Let's try this.
__/\ << = keyboard, screen, folding flap
I received mine today from Amazon and haven't quite decided if I like it or not.
Pros:
The case seems to be built well with quality materials. The leather and solid flaps will definitely protect it from the elements, to an extent. The leather is smooth and soft but easy to hold on to. It's like carrying around a book.
Cons:
The bulk is significantly more than I was hoping for. With the tablet and dock folded in it's about 2 inches thick, and this is before I've put any papers in the flap.
The tablet strap is less than 1cm wide and has a small piece of Velcro to keep the tablet from slipping out if you don't have it docked. That's it, 1cm of Velcro, not that reassuring.
The dock's elastic straps block both the USB port and the Charging port. Moving them aside every time you need to use the ports is possible but an extra hassle.
If I should decide to carry it without the dock, the case doesn't stay closed well, is loose and baggy on the edge, and I'm going to be afraid that the tablet will fall out since a 1cm piece of Velcro is all that would be holding it in.
I'll probably be returning this case and wonder if the RooCase TF201 cases will fit the TF700. I may have to wait for the TF700 cases to come out.
Bought on eBay for $6.00 from someone in Brooklyn. Very simplistic. Adds a nice grip feel. Doesn't provide any impact protection from drops over two feet. I'm pretty sure about that statement. When otter box releases a commuter or defender I'll be switching. Overall for general wear and tear protection, the best $6 spent for this phone.

i have the same one added some Velcro to hook up my portable amp to it with ease
Suffered a nice fall today. Was walking looking at an email. Shoulder checked a massive column in a mall. Silver Bezel on bottom took a nice ding. Rest of phone is fine, no cracks to front or back. Ordered a diztronic case. If it wasn't for the exposed top and bottom of the case it would have been fine. It did however protect the two most important parts of the phone. So it gets an A- in its short time of use. Lesson learned, pay attention when walking.

I'm still waiting for Nillkin to release a TPU case! Surely these hard cases do nothing to dampen the impact?

Yes, especially when it hits marble. Its not bad but disheartening considering its less than 48 hours old. Fortunately, rooted 4.2.2 with the new boot loader and radio put a huge smile on my face and the diztronic will cover it up anyway. I'm fortunate that nothing broke, and its still just a phone.

Do you find the case slick/slippery to the touch/hold? I have one, but felt the plastic was too slick even with the pebbled surface and decided to switch to a ballistic. I do like it and if the phone wasn't covered in glass, I might have stuck with it.
Yeah it was a little slippery. that's how I ended up losing grip.

I looked around and I didn't see this case here. I wanted a wallet case but that also had the S View function. I stumbled across this on Amazon. It looked promising. But it did not live up to my expectations....
First off the packaging was just a small zip lock type bag. Never heard of this company so I'm not surprised the packaging was nothing special. The case itself looks and feels nice.

The phone is held by a TPU case that's like glued in there. I'm concerned the glue will not hold forever. It doesn't feel really solid and pulling on the flap makes me feel like I'm gonna rip the flap off of the TPU case. The TPU case covers everything and leaves cutouts for everything. Never had issues with chargers or headphones or with WatchOn. The flap that holds the credit card feels cheap. It feels like its paper thin. I was able to fit two cards but I felt like it was gonna rip so one card max to be on the safe side
The flap feels solid except for the top part where the S View is at. I haven't owned another S View case/cover so it may be how the S View is but it feels very flimsy. The full cover feels solid but the S View part bends easily and it concerns me for the condition of the case when used a lot
The case looks good on the phone. The magnet latch holds it closed for the most part and the stand works decent
However, the S View is a hit and miss. It does not shut the screen off for the most part. When you simply close it, it will not turn the screen off nor display the S View screen
You need to wiggle around the cover to where it will shut the screen off. It seems as if the cover overlaps the TPU case, it will not work. It seems like the cover needs to be placed on the phone and not on top of the TPU.
On another note, this is about the S View part of the cover. It will not stay perfectly flat. Its so flimsy that it looks like this no matter what I did
Once you find the right spot where the S View will work, you will lose it when you put it in your pocket. When you put it in your pocket and reach in to grab it, it will move the cover around, causing the cover to not be placed on the "sweet" spot where the S View works.
Also when you have one credit card in the case, the S View is COMPLETELY useless. No matter where I moved the cover, no matter how hard I pressed down to try to get the sensors to work, it will not shut off. I see this as a big flaw since it was advertised as an S View wallet case. If I can't use both at the same time, that's a big let down.
Conclusion, is it worth it? I don't know. In my opinion, I wouldn't recommend it. Only because of the issue with the S View not always functioning and the fatal flaw of the S View not working when you have a credit in the slot. I mean for less than $20, I guess my expectations were too high. All I know is I will be returning it as I am not happy with it. Hopefully this review would help someone who's considering this case

Thanks for the review was looking into buying this but I'll probably give it a miss now! Just one question though. Is the s view cut out just a hole in the case or is it like the Samsung s view window with clear plastic covering the hole?
I would recommend the Sonivo Sneak Peak Case at the following link :
www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B00CXO9MM8
Judging by its youtube review , the case does seem sturdier than this one.
Has anyone used these before? Product description says that it doesn't affect signal, but from memory apparently it does for other phones.
Just wanted to check other people's experiences on this type of case. Looking at these two at the moment.
Also would this fit nicely with a tempered glass screen protector?
Aluminium bumper with tempered glass back
Aluminium bumper with acrylic back
(note I had to remove links as I cannot post it yet, but you can find them on aliexpress quite easily.
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Redm...hweb201527_3_71_72_73_74_75,searchweb201560_4
i received this replacement back case (all on aliexpress seem the same model) for a while but i'm not satisfied with it. The back with the "glass" feels quite nice but the "aluminium-frame" on the side is just 4 too thin aluminium-stripes glued on the plastic case. the stripes also easily bend when you are trying to remove the case.
i will stick with the original back case until there is some single aluminium frame/case to buy!
If you search "Aluminium Metal Bumper Frame phone Case for xiaomi redmi note2 Ultra Slim hard Hippocampus Buckle cover" it might be what you're looking for. Im not sure if its full metal alloy though.
Or luphie brand seems good, but more expensive. looking for reviews now.
any bumper and case cheap?

Hello guys, i was wondering if anyone tried or found a metal case or atleast a case that has a metal back for the galaxy s6.
The reason im asking is because i got a magnetic car mount and i dont want to stick the metal plate on the back of my phone, or the cover since it will look ugly. Thats why i am searching for a cover that already has a metal back and that should solve my problem. :good:

Yeah it might if it was all metal, but im asking if there is any case out there that may have atleast the back made from metal. Thanks
These moshi cases have the back side of aluminum http://www.ebay.com/itm/Moshi-iGlaz...665847?hash=item43ea5b6077:g:56YAAOSwFNZW0L6S
I have a case with metal all around the boarder and it kills GPS. Great case otherwise...
The Motomo's are Metal aluminium cases which works very good and protects phone from bad damages.

Except aluminum won't work to stick to magnets
I just use a tight fitting plastic case like Spigen and stick the magnet inside the case. Since it's tight it holds the plate in the same place between the case and the phone.

Metal back would interfere and hinder, if not completely block, the wireless charging. Personally, I wouldn't want to stick a magnet to my phone even with an intermediate material between the two.
I was thinking for the same magnetic, but changed my mind and went with plastic power case
For the people who like to sell their smartphones when they are bored with one model, it becomes necessary to keep the smartphone model in good condition so that they can get suitable resell or exchange value and mobile covers can allow you to get this advantage which means that you will not need to be always worried about the handling of your smartphone. Hope this article will help in this regards http://www.techinfoworld.com/importance-of-mobile-covers/
