I just received this PU soft case which looks like leather. Even has a grainy texture. Comes in black or brown. I chose black as I have the Black Obsidian Mate 9. When i first saw it listed on eBay i thought it would look tacky, but i took the plunge and ordered it.
It arrived today and looks awesome on my phone. It has a shiny gold metallic border which makes my phone look like a premium model. Also the case is very very thin. It almost seems part of the phone. None of this thick plastic edge rolled over on the front glass.
As a result I changed my Huawei theme to black and gold to match the case. All. Coordinated now.
Love it!
This is the case i purchased on eBay: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/252678772306
Looks very nice. Personally I like the case to stick past the screen edge a little, otherwise it's easier to damage the screen. This one looks basically flush.

If i pass my thumb over the edge i can feel a bump. I would say it is around 1-2mm higher than the display however it barely rolls over the edge on to the screen which i like.
I wish this was available in US

Gotta roll with the Cruzerlite Defender case. Nothing else compares. This and some tempered glass, and it's damn near bulletproof now ?
Just a fyi I was rocking this case for weeks. Eventually my phone fell out of my pocket (not far only 1 ft) and the screen shattered completely. The raise on the screen is not enough... If it lands on the side or back you are probably OK.
Went back to my old case since I had to replace my screen...

Hey guys.
Received my Poetic bumper case today and I'm really enjoying it. Currently I have 3 cases, the official bumper case, the rearth ringke and the poetic borderline (aka bumper).
So far I really like this case, and in a TL;DR version, I think I'm going to use this case over the other two. The reason I like this case it that it shows off the unique Nexus 4 backplate while still offering some degree of protection. You'll see in the photos below that there is a small, yet noticeable raise on the sides of the case to prevent the phone from coming into contact with any flat object. I think I'll be choosing this case over the official bumper because this bumper case a slimmer profile and adds less bulk. My first impression with the official case is that it made the phone harder to hold (for me personally).
The covers for the buttons work well and I enjoy the feel of the case overall. The price I got this for (right around $6) and the quality make this case feel like a total steal.

Take a look at the pictures and let me know if you have question. Hope this helps, cheers.
Come on man! We already have an entire thread dedicated to this case... With a bunch of pictures. No need to create a new thread. lol
Thanks for the review bud. Mine should be coming in soon.
I'll add that to my collection
Thanks for your review. I ordered this case and it shipped, but I haven't received it yet. Now I can't wait! I have the official bumper too and I'm now glad I ordered this one too.

Should post your review there
I just received mine yesterday, and today i realized it was uneven, it turns out there is a rip on the top left corner, i don't how it happened or what caused it, because i didn't drop it or anything. I contacted costumer service and waiting for a reply. But I really do like the look and feel of this case

The flash on my camera made the gray look lighter than it normally appears. I honestly don't mind it, and if you're in a financial position to be able to gamble $9 I would say try it out.

I already bought it, $9 isn't a problem. Just prefer the black/black color setup.
I've taken a look at numerous amounts of pictures. It looks good, just wish grey was black but we'll see how this turns out. Only because I want to show off the back
Got mine today. It really is very nice. I actually like it more than the official bumper. It's very nice, slimmer and doesn't have the double bezel like the official bumper. Also, it didn't lift up my best skins ever back protector or screen protector.

Just ordered my poetic bumper off ebay and now I'm looking to get a full body XO skin. Could anyone suggest either the regular XO cut or the case cut?
Does it make the phone less slippery? My other cases are not good for wireless charging
And in 2-4 weeks you'll all be signing a different tune when it starts peeling apart. It's a good case until then though. I had two that both starting falling apart so I got my money back and went with the official bumper.
That looks even bigger than Google's bumper. And I couldn't use one without some back protection. I love my Fosmon(?) TPU case.

This was my first case and now the top bezels are scratched
So bad , the reason I didn't mention it was because I thought it was my pocket or something.
I thank God that my Note 4 which had this case on also had a defect that required me to return it. It scratched the hell out of my phone. My new phone has a ringke slim on it and all is well now.

Which Ringke did you buy? I bought one of their slim cases (white plastic) and I have not put it on since I don't think it will protect the phone much.
I have the Samsung case on it now, but the headphone cut out is too small!
I just left my 1 star review. Total bs with this case. Nice scratched up new phone I have. Waiting for spigen to replace my phone (yeah right lol)
Yea wish I knew before I bought this case
I thought this case was the bees knees until you guys made me remove it to find a few light scratches on the top of my phone. I guess it's the sharp inside lip on the case that's the cause....boooo.

Yea it looks almost black in the picture, but it's Navy Blue.
I have the slate and I really like how they shared the original look of the phone with the chamfered edges and making them glossy. As far as scratches go, I already had some before I started using the case just from being in my pocket. Besides that, I can't see those scratches when its in the case. And for anyone to think that this shiny polished edge will never get a scratch on it is absurd. A case is probably the worst thing for it if you ever get some dirt or dust in there.

Right. People are going crazy on spigen and complaining but it's samsung the one that made the soft metal bezel. I have the Capsule case and I love it and yeah I have a few tiny scratches but if you think another case won't do the same thing you are sadly mistaken. I hit my bezel with some polish wax and now you can barely see the scratches. Slapped my case back on and I'm good to go. Not worried about resale value anyway of the device since they have none as it is. I love the case.
I just traded in my onyx black for blue coral. I currently have a ringke slim case. Hard black plastic. Id like something identical to this except clear?. A lot of the ones I see are soft tpu. Any recommendations on one would be nice. Thanks ahead of time.
The Caseology Skyfall is one that has a very stiff transparent back. But I found that as the back of the Note 7 is not totally evenly flat, the Caseology case, if removed a few times, does not lay totally against the back and you get this strange pattern showing, like ripple effect. I've now seen this in my Samsung OEM gel case as well. My Note 7 is black, perhaps this issue will not happen with other colours. Anyways, I will abandon using transparent and try to find a slim solid colour one. Shame that.
Yea I've had transparent cases on my s6 edge. They got stuff all in them and the case yellowed out. Maybe i could run front and rear screen protectors only. I just hate to hide the blue coral.color
Matchnine Hori model. I think I bought the last one in the U.S. Nice diamond clear pattern on the back.
I-Blason has a great hard clear case for the Note 7. I got it on Amazon for under $20.

I see how the kickstand makes it sit uneven. Otherwise I like it, it's thinner and lighter than the other Spigen case I have.
Nothing makes a new phone look dated like a crystal clear case.
Nothing looks quite as tacky either.
While they 'feel' hard they're still soft plastic and scratch easily. They yellow. They don't 'let the design show through', in my opinion. They just mask it differently.
As it's already arrived, here's some photos for you all. (Including size comparison to Spigen 6P case)
Hopefully they will be available on Amazon in the US soon.

It has a textured finish, it adds a lot of grip on the inside of the case.
It's smooth like a usual TPU case on the outside

On the inside? Hmmmm okay
The inside is textured so that you don't get the air bubbling effect that you would on some cases that have smooth TPU on the inside surface - it has nothing to do with 'grip'.

Looks like it's cut pretty well. Any reason why you went with the clear over the black armored one? I ordered a Quite Black Pixel, so I'm trying to determine if I should get a crystal or a black one, haha.

Hope it is good as my one for Nexus 5x. For 5x I had the thicker one, the Ultra Hybrid, but now I would like to have a thinner one for more feeling.
Will report when it is delivered and I got my Pixel.
Does it seem like the edge will be above the screen to prevent the screen hitting something if it face-plants?

As dust and sand gets in, those dots or ridges help protect the phone from being scraped
I ordered this for my 128gb black. O also ordered two other no name clear tpu cases. I can say without a doubt...the cuts on the speigen are a lot neater. There is also a slight border around the side of the case that isn't there on the cheaper cases. I got mine for $13 vs $8 for the two other cheap ones. Well worth the extra $5.

Not too happy with them. I ordered 2 cases , a regular carbon fiber and the Alcantara case. That was a week ago. Yesterday , send then an email wondering why 2 day UPS shipping is taking longer than a week, and they say , oh crap UPS lost them. Now they ask what I want, well I want the cases I paid for.
But.... they are now suddenly out..... geez.
Buyer beware with these guys, seems they could take the money on time.
Honestly my experience was pleasant, ordered and got the case in 2 days got the carbon fiber case

I ordered their screen protector and was very disappointed.
They are hard to put on, plus edges are always lifting.
They got a so much rugged touch you can properly swipe on the screen.

Is the case slippery?
Looks protective enough, but the carbon fiberness seems to be a bit... shiny? Like it's got a laquer coat on top? Cases by Pitaka I've used in the past, have a more grainy texture to them. Any ideas?

It does feel like it has a coating on top of the back. I had a pitaka case before and they feel a lot different.
It's not slippery on the edges it's like a rubber around the edges, which gives good grip.. The back is smooth though.
