anybody know where can i find a similar product and put my name on it, but cheaper...
anybody know something like this?
(I would like one for HTC Prophet to...)
Great Case
I purchased the horizontal belt mount version last month from the same manufacturer. Service and build quality was great. Received in 8 days. Considering this is manufactured in China doubt you will be able to find a custom made case like this for a lower price.
Leather case
Woooww!!!
These things kick ass!!! Brought myself the A1 straight away!
30 euros is very acceptable for this kind of custom made quality stuff!!
Thanks for posting this!! Very pleased with it!
Thnks!!!
Floris!
I've ordered an A1 too.
Think these prices are reasonable, especially considering the customisation options...
Hope it looks as slick as in the pictures
well i will buy the E4 version, i asked if the can put more card holders, and the answer was YES! if anybody have more things that is good to include in the case post it here, something that I forgot to be usefull...
Received mine and I am very very impressed.
Totally customised case to you spec with choice of cover, internal lining, clasp mechanism, belt loop and case design.
In fact I've ordered an alternative design, before the next new HTCs come out and they stop supporting our lovely HD's.
And if you ask nicely, the fella who controls the ebay account.. He can change even the colour of the stitching.
I ordered a case from him, and asked if I could have white or grey stitching, and he said yes.. Any colour..
I went with grey..
Recieved my case today..
No extra customs charges for delivery to uk. Well packaged, in a lovely gift box, and cloth pouch..
and the case................
Is simply STUNNING..
I recommend totally this guy for the cases, they are great. Excellent quality. made specially for this HD, customisable..
Go get one now..
easecase
I ordered a D2 case today, with extra holes for the usb charger and a hole for the headphone.
Will let you know how good it is made.
Communications with the guy in China is excellent.
Sounds good, can anyone make a picture of these? And how can i find more of these on ebay?

for now i only found this one on ebay. (custom made)
On ebay
Search for: "easecase touch hd" - I've just ordered my second one of these (an A2) to go with my D3 which is very protective but a little fat for a suit jacket.
The build quality is amazing and the price is justified. I also asked for a customisation and was entirely accommodated.
I cannot recommend these highly enough, but can't post pictures from here, although the eBay postings do have a lot of accompanying imagery.
Wow.
I had another thread discussing the E5 model of the case (one that resembles a wallet) and I had been holding off on buying one until my 'guinea pig'... er, I mean until I heard back from another member who was also ordering that case.
But the sheer number of positive comments on here have made up my mind.
Also, it sounds like the seller is extremely helpful, so I'm sure he'll be able to help with any questions I might have.
i bought a b1 model~and itz really good, i have a simliar wallet from GG Armani~~ what i can tell is the easecase is compareble with the armani's work~~however, i have been using the wallet for 4 yrs though~~
When I bought my HTC Advantage 4 1/2 years ago there was no decent case for it anywhere - like the Note it has a large screen (5") and unlike the Note a very large body. I found Nutshell (a.k.a. Tough-as-Nuts) and their line of cases - built like tanks, literally with gun holster components including heavy leather and heavy-duty belt clips. We had a long discussion about it here, including pics http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=344605 . It ended up being the only case most XDA members bought.
Fast forward to today, now that I have my Note on pre-order my first stop was to check out the Nutshell offering for the Note. This is the one I found:
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-belt-case.aspx
I also happened to find an old post offering a discount, which I didn't know about when I ordered my other case. This offer may not even be valid:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=259275
I haven't ordered the case yet, I want to see how well the Note fits into my Advantage case first - it will fit the height and width but the Advantage case may be too roomy for the thickness since it is twice as thick as the Note. If I do order one I'll report back here with pics and a fresh review.
Edited 4/12. Case arrived today, ordered on March 26th (I used the "tuff02" 10% discount code mentioned below). Just as well-built as my old case, even stronger because they now build in something flat and hard into the back wall. By putting the phone into the case with the screen facing inward the screen will be fully protected. I ordered the pen loop option this time. I always carried one inside my last case but that phone was so thick there was room next to it. As I figured, there isn't enough room for a pen next to the Note - too thin. I'm not complaining.
In the last picture you can see a bump under the leather below the metal clip. That, along with the lower lip of the clip, keeps it on your belt no matter what you do.
I'm still looking for a case for mine and came across your post; thank you for sharing. I'm still gonna do some more looking, but this one is now on my list as a possibility (that is if they take them off hold and actually start making them).
FYI...
I tried the coupon code "tuff01" in the thread you linked to and it showed up 5% savings. For the heck of it I tried punching in "tuff02" and it shows 10% savings.

Sweet! I'll be sure to use that.
This case is awesome. I also got one for my MDA, still looks like new.
Quick update, I noticed they removed their placeholder page for the Note case (the 2nd link in my 1st post above). I've emailed them to find out which of their cases would be best. I looked at this chart to match up to the Note's specs (146.85 x 82.95 x 9.65mm):
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/beltcasessizetable.aspx
At first glance their case #215 would work - it appears to be the right length and width, but it has twice the depth as it should for the Note so it would flop around. Then I noticed case 270 right above it is the very one I already have for my Advantage and I already know that case is the right height, but too wide and again way too much depth. So that would mean 215 would be too long! I'm not spending $60 and waiting 2 weeks to find out it won't hold the phone securely. If I hear back from them I'll report back.
I am currently using a NutShell case I got as a freebee back at one of the PPC expos it is a very good fit (I do have the Samsung flip cover on it). The design is their basic case with the notched corners and no clip (leather slip panel the belt goes thru)
Cheers

I received a reply from the company:
Almost there
Still awaiting final asset approval.
http://tuff-as-nuts.com/Samsung-Galaxy-Note-belt-case.aspx
So the placeholder page is back, and it says they are taking preorders if you are interested. I may make an order today.
Thanks for the info, techntrek. Please post if you hear anything. I'm a former (heck I still have it) Advantage owner looking into the note now, and one of the first things I'm looking at is a belt case like I used to love back then!
- I also sent you a pm. Interested in comparisons for former Advantage users to compare against the Note.
I had an Advantage. What questions do you have?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
Thanks for the reply, but too late - I bought the Note a week ago. Loving it except for battery life problems (which I'm researching again now!)
Yup, we had a nice conversation comparing the Advantage to the Note.
Glad to hear you got one.
BTW it looks like this case is now available. Getting ready to order, using the "tuff02" discount code.
Just ordered, may take up to 2 weeks for delivery.
I've been wearing my phone on my belt for more years then I can remember - but since I had nothing for the Note up front, I've been carrying it loose in my pocket (with screen protector & ultra-slim bumper case) for a week.
..and I might stay this way for a while. I was always catching my case on things before. I was also hoping the vibration would be easy to feel in the pocket, but this past weekend proved the vibration isn't strong enough.
Might switch back to a belt pouch later, but going to stick with this way for a while & see. Be sure to post reviews of the Tuff case when you get it!
Ditto, I've been trying it in the pocket for the last 5 1/2 weeks, also hoping I could get away from the pouch. But it was always hard getting it out, so I'm back to a pouch. I agree it is surprisingly hard to feel the thing vibrate even when its sitting right on your leg.
Updated post #2 with a full review, including pictures.
Two things I would change so far. I never used the D-ring on my old case, and never will on this one. I should have asked them to leave it off. Looks like it will be easy to remove with a razor blade.
I'm glad I got the pen holder/loop, but I should have asked them to put it on the BACK edge, and since I always wear it on my right hip, to put it on the side that faces rear (the right side as you face the back).
Some things for you to consider if you order one.
Nut case for Galaxy Note
This is my 2nd tuff-as-nuts case. My first outlived all of my 3 iPhones. It is still in almost new condition in my drawer. This is the nicest hip holster I have found. I have tried several. The clip will never break. The fit is very snug for the first week or so and then it loosens up. I am very happy with this case ever though it is expensive. I got chocolate leather with belt clip and full magnetic flap.

Thanks for valuable info re: cases w/beltclips - will the phone fit with the candy shell over it??
The fit is VERY tight with no cover. They design to the factory specs and go slightly smaller, counting on the leather to stretch a little.
They will make custom versions for a small extra charge, or you could compare all of their models by size (look for the link on the left side of their home page) and pick one that is slightly larger. The one they originally made for the Advantage is probably the one you'll need. If there is any wild chance you live in central MD you could try my old case and buy it from me if it works.
I got my case yesterday. The most I have ever paid for a case, by a long way, and had to wait weeks because I chose the distressed leather finish but I have to say this is a work of art! Amazing looks, fits perfectly, adds minimal bulk to the Prime and makes me love my Prime again (and forget all its other faults).
One of those rare occasions when spending top dollar is actually value for money.

Do you mind taking some pictures of your leather case?
I am waiting on a dark vintage leather case from Noreve's exceptional selection for my 64 GB Prime to be shipped and sent to me.
C'mon dude, post pictures or at least a link to where you bought the case.
Here is the one I got in the Exceptional finish, costs more but fantastic worn leather look:

That is a pretty sharp looking case, but with prices starting at $105 I would wanna make sure it works with the TF Infinity (my next tablet purchase) before I go and spend that much money on a case.
Here are some photos of mine, taken with my cell phone.
It is an exceptional case, makes carrying the Prime around a pleasure, simply because the case is so damn thin, and feels so soft!
It is hard to bite the bullet on the price (mine was, I believe, $85, plus shipping, and you can find discount coupons, if you search the net to bring it down more)
Shipping is somewhat expensive, somewhere around $15, but on the bright side, I ordered mine on Sunday, and it arrived to Los Angeles by Weds. (I can be very patient, as long as I don't have to wait!)
The case has very soft, leather type material on the inside, so it doesn't put dust and dirt on the screen every time I close it, which is one big complaint I had with my Blurex case.
It also has precise openings for every port, yet provides excellent protection for the edges of the Prime. Only opening not accessable is the charger port. You need to charge it with the case open. You don't need to remove the case to charge the device, but it does have to be open.
It really gives the Prime a very elegant look, the leather reminds me of leather used on very high end briefcases or luxury cars, and the clasps work great, easy to open, easy to close, and it feels totally secure when closed.
Certainly not for everyone, but if you can afford it, and want an elegant solution to protection, this is certainly worth a look!
nice
I ordered mine few days ago ... I hope it will arrive soon. I choose the basic one to avoid to long wait
I love the noreve case.
I already got for my archos device and my smartphones.
Hi, great looking case but I can't tell from your pics if it accommodates the keyboard/ dock when attached?
Sent from my Transformer Prime TF201 using XDA
I just received my noreve case.
Regarding the keyborad, first of all you have to know that there are 2 cases. One for the tablet only and one for both
I bought the one for the tablet only.
But you can still connect the dock and it will look like this :
I just got mine yesterday after waiting 20 days (and 7 days for UPS to deliver) and I am disappointed. Not sure if I should be, but I have sent them a mail about it.
The quality is very nice, but mine came with tons of "scratches/Scruff marks" all over the case, which makes it look like I bought it second-hand from someone who have used it extensively.
Also I ordered mine in Passion Vintage, which on the site looks like a deep red/burgundy color. Mine looks faded and like someone left it out in the sun for a month.
Front of the case:
Back of the case:
Color comparison to the color shown on their website:
Maybe I just had higher hopes .. but after paying so much and waiting so long for the case, I am disappointed. But we will see what Noreve replies back to me (if anything).

For the price they charge for those cases you would he they guarantee satisfaction.

I'm curious if you ever contacted Noreve, and if so, what their response was?
Your case definitely looks like it's been well used, not like it is brand new. I'm not sure if that's what the "look" is supposed to be, but I can understand your disappointment!
I hope they work with you to make sure you're satisfied, because the case is, as you said, excellent quality, and it's been a pleasure for me to use, for the past two weeks.
All the vintage leather cases are supposed to be distressed leather, meaning scratches and scuffs, so to me that would be expected. The color does look different what what is on the website, but personally I think it the case looks great! If the case wasn't so expensive and the wait time so long, I'd take that one off your hands.

That is the response I got from them too. My issue with that is that it is nowhere stated, that this would be the case, and all their own pics, the leather is in pristine condition (and the color is different).
So when I look at the site and order a case in a certain color and material, I sort of expect that it will look like it does on the site.
If I can't trust their pictures, then I am almost bound to be disappointed once I get the product, as it doesn't look like the presentation.
I just think the color is too faded, and had I know this, I would have gone with the black one, which I think would look better in a faded color.
There is nothing in the quality of the case that I can complain about ... it is lovely, and in fact it has 4 angles, not 3, as the two prongs that closes the case are very hard, and can be used to support the tablet at a better angle for writing
Also, you can use it in portrait mode, as the front cover, folds all the way back (there was a question about this in another thread).
And it is possible to put the tablet in the dock, without completely removing the case (if you need to recharge the battery off the dock, or just want to use the keyboard for a bit).

I have the same finish on mine and I too was a little apprehensive as the scuff marks started to mount but it gets to a point where it starts looking like vintage leather which is what I wanted. Think of it as something that will improve with age, which is very rare with gadgets!

Well I did complain about the lack of "real life" pictures of the materials on their web site, as that was the biggest disappointment. Seeing that my case's color (and condition) didn't match what I used to make the decision with.
Showing a different color and (apparently) different leather type, when I click on the link to see the Vintage Passion case, is just not good enough.
But as it turns out, they have agreed to exchange my case to another type of my choice at no extra cost (except for shipping it to France), which I think is very nice of them.
So now I need to decide if I should go for the black or brown cases, which I think will look better in a faded color.
As requested, pictures of the case after a few weeks.
I took the photos in weak morning light with no flash.

Thanks a lot .... helps a lot with my decision.
I think I really like the brown case, but I think it will require me to wait for about a month again.
Decisions, decisions
I was looking thru ebay and found this. anybody bought one yet? lol Comes from China.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sikai-Slim-...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item2c65f5d471
Yup, i saw them too. Not very expensive, on the photo it is looking good also. So if Bobjgear's cover is not coming this month i will order this one.
And almost anything comes from China nowadays

haha,, No I meant that it would take ages to get here. lol.. I'm bout to pull the trigger. I like my moko case but I like these type of cases better.
This is what I've been looking for.
Ordered June 27, arrived July 6 (west coast)
Comes in a large envelope so it's not folded. Even in a thin, by now squashed box. Get a free cloth too. No 'off' smells to it.
I ordered black. The 'silicone' description does not exactly match my description of silicone - like some pen barrels, an Incipio iPod case or a Belkin Gripswell iPad case. It's got a fine pebble grain to it.
All the ports have openings. Power & Volume buttons are covered.
For the price it's great. Thanks NJ_RAMS_FAN.

Nice. I think my got lost in the mail. I still haven't received it and I order like 5 days before you. I just emailed them. Of course it comes from overseas but looks like it ships pretty quick.
BobjGear's are available here:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aag/main?i...etplaceID=ATVPDKIKX0DER&seller=A3SQAI9BQY42F6
Picked one up myself.
Mine had a tracking number - it was spot on. Though it spent 2 days in SF. Unlike some items ordered from China there was no hanky panky here. This one did not say "sample" or "gift" on the label.
After a day I took it off and washed it with dish detergent, the feel to the case is now better than just out of the box.
Price is 16.99 shipped.

So after reading many bad reviews i give a try and i bought Love Mei case.
Im very impressed. Yes, case is really big and a little heavy but i like it. I don't like skinny cases so for me its a plus. Another pros. is awesome looking and color. I choose yellow and its really deep and high visibility.
If you don't know its metal case with good quality rubber.
Screen is very sensitive and feel much much better then every screen or case i ever used on G3 or other phones. Its awesome, i would like to be all day on phone because touch is awesome smooth and nice.
What isn't true what you can read everywhere :
Sound quality - you can find many reviews about poor sound / voice quality or mic/speaker. Its not true.
Sound is like without case if not better :0
Poor quality material - another BS. This case is very high quality, nice rubber and metal. Screws are like screws, small and easy to unscrew.
Signal strength - i don't notice any signal change. For better or worst i have the same signal strength. Its another BS
What i think is people bought this case from amazon or other wired store and they get fake/damaged case because even otterbox defender which i had lasts months can lick love mei "screws". Now i feel like Otterbox is low quality and everything what you can read about love mei.
Or 2nd option is somebody doesn't want lost costumer like very popular and liked otterbox, describing love mei as worst ever made case.
Thanks God i bought Love Mei and threw out cheap otterbox.
I prefer buy from love mei store or good eBay seller. I know amazon can sell fake products. I get shocked when i bought RayBan sunglasses. I checked amazon reviews and found pictures compared fake from Amazon and original from RayBan store. On pic. My ( also from RayBan store) were looks like his original and fake just like wow. After that i change mind and i try buy from manufacture / original store or good eBay seller with return.
Love Mei case I buy from http://www.ebay.com/usr/sports_outlet13?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754
Received a day before estimated if you wander
But i found 2 cons. First is small which doesn't bother and don't care but you should know about it. Im too lazy now to make a picture (maybe later) but i found on YT Its here https://youtu.be/87WF8bWEYZY?t=6m32s
Can you see horizontal metal piece between screen and speaker/camera, etc? Is not glued well. I thought its just his/manufacture or something but i have similar on my case so if you decide to buy you should expect it.
2nd is or was a bigger problem. This piece on top right https://youtu.be/87WF8bWEYZY?t=6m5s is very easy to remove/lost even if you dont touch it. Today i had to unscrew 2 times and put it back. So it can be a problem but i think i found a solution. First time i didn't put correctly in place because now is very hard to remove even if i try. Ill update review if ill have same problem or was my fault.
If you like love mei case go for it.
Update:
So after few weeks of usage i can change my mind only for let say "hearing me" so microphone.
My g-f is already pis off on me and my case because she have to press her phone into ear to hear me. Idk why only she complain. but im ready to buy another new case im so sad because its the best case, for me most perfect for bulk,protection and weight, looking, feeling, etc. Just the best. And my g-f is #1 for me not the case ill miss you love mei case ;;;(
You didn't link to the case.
hahaha the follow up is great good review i was thinking of buying one but gone with the zero lemon as i need more juice!
I'm really hang on between the love mei and otterbox,normally I'm more interested in otterbox,yet seems there don't have some improvement on their design and it may make my G3 a vintage one which seems like a 2010 phone,meanwhile,I'm also stop the forward to lovemei for someone don't think highly of them with some reasons say the huge size,effect signal,too heavy,even some doubt on their workmanship etc.,however,if purchased from amazon or bad eBay seller not included on this issue.Anyway,now I'm relax to purchase directly from lovemeicases.com and thanks for your review again!
Tried that case and it's a bloody brick xD. It's so big and heavy I can't see someone putting it in their pants pocket. Though I found one nice pro: it's a very good self defence weapon. I bet you can actually kill someone with it xD.
Steadily deteriorating performance on my LG4 while in the Love Mei case.
Problem went away immediately when phone removed from case.
RE-casing today(8-JUN-2016) and will report back.
