** have not received my phone yet **
https://www.rearthusa.com/google-nexus-4-ringke-slim-case
Ordered my nexus 4 and slim case together, got the case today, no sign of my phone yet!
Appearance wise the case looks, as usual, slim - very slim! probably less than 1/2 mm and super light! I have the galaxy nexus slim case as well and there's a leather patch in the back with rearth logo and all. On this one its sketched on the case itself - adding no bulk and probably making it lighter
Design-wise it looks and feels like a premium case, the matte black finish and well cut edges primarily contributes to that. Power button and volume rocker cuts are well tapered - cannot validate the placement though, not without the phone of-course! The material is also somewhere in between sft-tpu and hard-plastic, something that feels natural in hand.
Safety/peace of mind wise, it'll probably feel a little less secure than the galaxy nexus slim case. On the galaxy nexus case the the top and bottom was fully covered, the microUsb and headphone ports were pluggable and the sides ware exposed a bit. In this nexus 4 case the sides are fully covered, top and bottom are exposed and the ports are not pluggable
There's a side-effect of the full side-covered design though (which I cannot confirm right now). According to the reviews the nexus 4, the front glass is slightly tapered on the edges making edge to edge gestures fluid and natural. This might have been more enjoyable with a design similar to galaxy nexus slim case with top and bottom covered and sides exposed. This is not a deal breaker though as ALL the cases available today, including the original bumper case, will have the same side effect. I wish, given the stability/usability of the galaxy nexus slim case, they could have chosen a similar design - it'd have been more enjoyable.
Final words, I love this case!!!
===Update, 14th Dec===
got 2nd rev, first one came with minor defect! got prompt response from them and the revised case. sadly, still its not 100% perfect.
however, given current choices, this is relatively better...
Shouldn't this review go with all the other stuff about this case??

Jst got my case yesterday, and I would honestly wait to see if these go down in price, or just not at all. It doesn't fit snugly on the left side of my device (by the volume rocker), and to me thats a problem. It barely, if at all, protects above the screen line, so it's really for the sides and back. Not a big deal for me, as I never have my phone on its screen, but at $12 shipped - I expect more.
you love this case, yet you don't even have a phone to try it on?

The case really feels good in hand, its super-light and I'm sure for a <$10 case, this will exceed expectation!
I'll update the review once I get the phone, just got my shipping confirmation! It should be in before the weekend - I hope.
They are sending me a revised case next week, I like it...but it's not snug and the bottom rubs on my hand weird. So I may not use it as my primary case.

They must've sent me a revised case, mine fits snug and the upper left side isn't loose. Received mine two days ago.

mine was the rev1, defective - the left side was not snug fit! they're sending a new one, should be arriving in couple of days...
It feels good in hand but given the aesthetics of beautiful glass-back, I'm tempted to tryout the bumpers! damn both oem and poetic are out of stock...

The listing on amazon.com says it's for a revised case. Mine shipped today so if I'm lucky and it beats the USPS shipping estimate I'll have it before the weekend.
Not sure whether or not my replacement case is going to be trackable but hoping that it will be.
Yeah I really wish they had covered the top / bottom and left the sides exposed. Dunno why they didn't do that again

Thanks, I'll give it a try.
Edit: Just checked my email from the previous ticket that the person on CSR emailed me (just remembered that they sent me an follow up email when I contacted them about it). Noticed that there was actually a USPS tracking code and label already created. Looks like it's already being processed. Definitely customer support is up there from Rearth.
@Ngo93: Yeah I'm not sure why they made the case even more minimal but personally for me I like the N4 version a lot better mainly because of the material being used from the back. It is very pleasant to hold in the hands. My only complaints at this time would be that if your hands are dirty, it does get dirty from the back but other than that it's not much. Easily cleanable.
My new updated case shipped 2 days ago, hopefully I'll have it by tomorrow

Screen protectors don't sit right with the case
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
I looked at this case too, but ended up with something else because it doesn't cover all the front edges. Before my brand new N4 I had a iPhone 3GS with a case like this one. After a while all the chrome on the top edges were getting scuffed and scratched. I recommend something that covers everything but the screen, if you want a scratch-free N4.
Got my updated case, and it's 100x better. The piece in the upper left corner is bigger, but not obtrusive and fixes all the issues we had before.

Just got a leather flip case for the SIII at a T-mobile store. The nexus 4 fits perfectly inside. The volume buttons are not covered and the power button is half covered but still fully functional. The camera also works well with the case.

Lol thought that was a macbook air until the very last picture. The case looks fine though but I would probably get annoyed by the power button after a few weeks of use.
Oh yeah and what about the camera? Doesn't the S3 have its camera in the middle as opposed to on the side?

tried it out...it grabs onto the little space between the chrome bezel and housing. It some what fits but the camera gets a shadow from the case, which im pretty sure can be opened up with a little sanding. Not completely sold on it, but still not taking it out of consideration. Good find OP.

Yeah, there is a little camera shadow, but it actually grabs just right below the bezel not inbetween. It fits pretty well!

Aww... damn... I got the Poetic Slimbook pre-ordered for $5 and this looks a lot closer to what I wanted from a case. The lack of edge protection is worrisome, but that looks less bulky than the Slimbook. Hmm, should I buy a second case? It'll technically be my 3rd since Exact-Deal sent me an S-line TPU case in consolation for the delay on the Slimbook.
EDIT: I've decided against getting a second case. The hardback has the face flap open to the right, but I'd prefer it open to the left.

I would guess because most people hold their phones in their right hand, and would flip the cover open with their thumb. I'm checking this out first thing tomorrow.

The hardback case has a catch to help it stay closed. It'd be easier for left hand users to open the case via tightly gripping the phone with four fingers on the face, then popping the catch up with their thumb. The flap also has a bend in the middle for propping up the phone, but the bend also facilitates this action opening by the manner I described.
I'm a right-handed person but prefer using the phone with my left hand. Just feels more comfortable to me. This case would be better for me to open, but I prefer the right side to be open so that it's easier to access the power button at all times.
I'll buy if it's cheap enough as a temporary case until official n4 accessories come out.
Looks like a d3o case.

To anyone who picked one up, how does it feel in terms of bulk? Also, when the cover is folded over, does it lay flush with the spine or does the flap stick out?

It is very thin, as thin as my nexus 4, and feels like a father compared to my original xoom
the cover is just like the s3 flip cover but it snaps on the back instead of replacing the battery cover
and it triggers auto on and off like the ipad smart cover
Caved in and picked up the cover on the way home today. Some initial thoughts:
1) The case adds no real bulk to the device itself. The backplate and the screen flap are both super thin, so even when folded over, it's doable for someone like me who hates cases.
2) Because its all so thin, however, it does feel sorta cheap. If this suffers from the same build issues I've read the S3 version has, I don't have high hopes that it's going to last long.
3) The screen on/off thing is awesome. The sensor part of this is actually along the spine, not the edge of the flap. Not a complaint, just an observation.
4) When folded over, there is a bit of a "lip" around the spine. I can't say I love this, but it doesn't really impact the way I hold the device.
5) The "stand" feature is alright and seems stable enough as long as you use it in the single position it was designed for. I do with it had a few more angle options.
Verdict? Meh. It's not a bad case, and I don't intend to return mine, but had I been given the opportunity to play with one before, I don't think I would have spent the extra $50. At half that price, it wouldn't change my opinion, but I'd be far less disappointed.
I have the book cover for my 8.0 and it is not very heavy, acts like a stand and turns the Note on and off when I open and close it. Very convenient. Got mine on Amazon for $5.99. Thought I would give it a try for that amount . So far very happy with it.

The only one I see on Amazon for that price is the IVSO version. What I hate about those cases is how you actually have to put the tablet inside and wraps around the front. The official book cover simply snaps onto the back of the Note 8.

I bought that same cover and also bought a similar one:
http://www.amazon.com/Dealgadgets-S...&qid=1366425979&sr=8-2&keywords=Galaxy+note+8
They both look essentially the same and add about the same bulk.
Major difference is that the Moko cover has auto wake, soft inside material, hand holder, and the pen holder doesn't interfere with IR. But it reeks! I mean it smells so bad I couldn't keep it in the same room with me. I left it outside overnight and it is still off gassing.
The Dealgadget cover has no weird smell. But also no wake function, no softer inside material, no hand holder. The pen holder is in a better location except if you plan to use the IR function. It is on the side of the tablet and I found it interferes with the IR.
So I ended up ordering the Samsung cover from this site. Since its coming from Hong Kong it will probably take a couple of weeks to get it. But I can't justify spending $50 for a cover. (Even though I probably will have spent close to $50 before I find one I like).
http://dx-box.com/catalogsearch/result/index/?cat=364&q=Galaxy+Note+8.0
I never purchased from this site before so I can't vouch for them yet.
I also have the upcoming Poetic case on order since its only $5. But it's not due to ship till May.
good one
hi budy go to your level best and may astonished to the forums:good:
When looking for some case reviews I stumbled over http://galaxynote8cases.com/ and they actually seem to have some good reviews. The only thing that is a real pain with the Note 8 is that it's tough to find any accessories for it.
I just got the white book case cover, its perfect for people who are careful with their electronics but like that extra layer to prevent scratches. Adds virtually zero weight.

Thats the big selling point for me here. The absolute lack of bulk on this is awesome. I only wish this had two more features:
1) A magnetic hold when the front flap is covering the screen.
2) Another magnetic hold for the flap when its folded over the back.
Sent from my GT-N5110 using xda premium
There is a slight hold on the front side, as to not make it appear flimsy. When you flip it around back it "gives" a bit easier to fit snugly. Hard to explain, but clearly well designed.
Where are people buying this case, i cant find it anywhere.
The Book Cover Case is available in the US at local Best Buy, Staples and Office Depot. The only color is white, but the other colors will be available shortly.

That's a great surprise that UAG is making a case for the Note Edge. I emailed them about 1-2 months ago asking if they were going to create a case for the Note Edge but they said they had no plans to do so. So I am very happy to say the least!
http://www.rugged-stuff.com/galaxy-note-edge-uag-rugged-case-maverick-clear.html
From the appearance, I don't know how it would protect the "edge" screen if the phone were to land on that side directly. But, having a case like a UAG would make me feel more at ease carrying the phone around.
Things are looking up for the Note Edge because it now will have a UAG case + Zero Lemon responded to an email I sent a few months ago mentioning they are working on an extended battery.
The only thing that the Note Edge would be lacking is a tempered glass protector(which I really hope some company releases) and the lack of compatibility with the Samsung Gear VR.
I've also seen wireless charging backs for the note edge, kind of pissed that it's still not included out should i say isn't built in but at least I know there out there,I believe I saw them on eBay, both in black and white

Thats the one I order. Mines should be in this week.
There are 2 versions, one woth the edge part open to access it. The other it would be close like a note 4.
I doubt there would be many cases that would protect the edge while still letting you be able to use it.
Lol this reminds me of "the Santa Claus", "wgat if I fall off a roof tho"
But o do remember a giy doing a review and he said that there is a lip on the phone (metal side) that should hit before the glass. Due to it sticking out more then the glass and big heavier.

Hello,
Typically I just use my phones in the nude, but with my oneplus one I did enjoy occasionally using the OEM folio case in orange. I really do like my 6p, but its about the slipperiest thing I own (opo ruined me with that grippy housing) and it feels delicate. Does anyone know of a folio style case that can also reinforce the phones structure(so I can finally stick it in my pocket without worrying about bending)?
This is what I had for my opo

I'd be interested in this too, if it isn't too thick.
Google do sell an official folio case BUT I've heard many horror stories about it being far too tight on the phone and extremely difficult to remove, to the point of breaking the phone.

Unfortunately no to both of those. No magenta to keep it closed ( hate that). And nothing to put it to sleep. Wish it did have that tho. But I mostly care about keeping the screen protected and I hate face grease so lol

I think I'm going with the Valkyrie. Full sides instead of button cutouts

The valkyrie does have magnets to keep it closed BUT no magnet for wakeup/sleep function. The phone easily snaps into a tpu case that is sandwiched between a wrap-around cover, like a book, which gives it protection from both sides.
But I ultimately sent the valkyrie back because there are no holes for the front speakers/mics (the mics are in the speaker pits). This means you have to keep the cover opened to talk. And I just learned recently that if you try to be clever and flip the cover to the back, it will cover the rear-mic and that messes up the noise cancellation and makes you sound muffled. So you now have to talk on the phone holding it like an opened book.
I was seriously considering drilling speaker/mic holes and splicing in a magnet into the cover. But then I found this from tetded. It has a magnet for sleep/wakeup and speaker/mic holds. BUT no magnet to keep it closed and the cover doesn't extend to the back so the back is not as protected as the front. It also costs more since it's real leather.
I bought mine directly from the tetded site and it will ship from hong kong. They have other models for the 6p and some even come with a nice clasp to keep the cover closed, but no speaker/mic holes (why!!?)
