was wondering if anybody had opinions on the different brands of cases that are out there.
Id really love the marware CEO Hybrid case, but it does not seem like they are going to make them for the Prime.
I found this case by HandHeldItems that has the similar 'carbon fiber' feel to it.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FL8D10/
anybody know the quality of this compared to the marware??
then there the typical 'leather' folio cases that are made by several brands. here is the blurex
http://www.amazon.com/transformer-PRIME-Leather-Multi-Angle-Blurex/dp/B006VX96GO
and the GreatShield
http://www.amazon.com/GreatShield-Multi-Stand-Protective-Transformer-10-1-Inch/dp/B006RML5ZO
out of all the brands out there, is any brand(s) better than the others??
rooCASE Executive Portfolio
As far as comparing brands, I'm not sure. I did just purchase this one however.
amazon.com/rooCASE-Executive-Portfolio-Landscape-Transformer/dp/B005XOPE2M/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1337986248&sr=8-1
It's currently being shipped and I'll give an update on my experience when I receive it.
I really like the Sikai Microfiber case.

It is super-thin, light weight and makes the Prime very comfortable to hold.

both of those cases are not the 'clip' type cases and have material across the bezel.
I already have a case like that, which I'll gladly give to anybody that can help me.
the brand I have is the Moko. quality is decent by kind of crappy.

The Sikai microfiber case is made of a better material than the Moko case, its construction is better as well. At first I was hesitant of getting a case that covered the bezel, but because the material of the Sikai case feels so nice it really does make the tablet 100% more comfortable to hold.
Sikai also makes a "clip" style of case, but it has a similar fake leather to the Moko case and the clip portions are brown which neither match the Prime nor the black leather the rest of the case is made from. Its not to my taste but you may like it.

Coming from an iPad2, the only thing i miss was my smart cover. Allowed protection without adding bulk.
I know it wouldnt work quite the same but I saw something similar for a Galaxy tab. It has a thin (metal/plastic?) backplate to hold the front piece. Perhaps it could be magnetic where the two ends meet to keep it closed.
Anything like this already available?

The closest there is right now is the Asus case, its a sleeve with a standing back but its the thinnest I've seen.

Sikai case ordered from eBay. Like original iPad cover but with some smart cover like foldin fir different viewing angles.
+1 for this. I m hoping that something like this comes out soon too!!!!
They should just make something with a hard back and 4 little lips that go over the corners with a hinge on one side for the flap with magnets.
Seems very easy to make.

Cheers for that, just what I've been looking for. Ordered one.
Reports that the Sikai magnets screw with the digital compass used for google maps and such.
Kinda iffy now. I also don't want black. I'd like white or some bright color.
difficult to developing a smart cover case for TF101.
Couldn't the Samsung one fit the TF? Aren't they the same size?
Right now I have a casecrown portfolio case, but I would like to see something like a smartcover (rather Samsung's version of smart cover where you have all round protection including the back.
For those who haven't seen the samsung's smartcover ripoff, here it is:

No they are not, all android tablets out there have different sizes. Screen size doesn't matter much when you are looking for a case with a perfect fit.
Hey everybody, just thought I would give you a heads up on a great product, I plan on getting one for my Note this summer when I get my beast.
http://www.senacases.com/samsung-cases/galaxy-note/ultraslim/
It's the Sena Ultraslim pouch. I had one for my iPhone 3G and for my Captivate, and they are great cases. They are made of high quality leather that is hand stitched and buttery soft. I highly recommend them, as they are great for those of you that like to use your device naked, yet want some ultra thin protection for when it's not in use. Inside the pouch is a soft, velvety material that will somewhat clean the screen of your device as well. The pouch starts out kind of tight to the device, but loosens up a bit with use and conforms to the curves of the device perfectly. It barely adds any thickness or weight to the device as well. I had one white and one black for my iPhone, and a black one for my Captivate. The white can get dirty, as it is leather, but good care will keep it clean. Also, when you take the device out, if you hold it behind the device it can provide a little grip on the device with the leather being warm from your pocket, as the leather grips the plastic of the phone. I plan on getting a white one to match my white Note.
Here is a picture of the white one, they also have black, brown, and red.

Feel free to ask me any questions! And hit thanks if I found a new case for you!
Edit: One note, it does not work very well with Zagg InvisibleShield screen protectors due to the tight fit and the rubbery nature of those protectors. However, most high gloss or matte protectors have no troubles at all.
Wow
I really wish there was a design like this but as a case instead. It would be nearly the same thing. Maybe a flap on the top to tuck in and close it, with cutouts for the screen, buttons, and USB.
The only options we have right now for leather cases are either bulky, or flip. no thanks.
I'm tempted to order this and see if I can make the appropriate cutouts myself.
I just submitted a comment to them suggesting this.
Hi guys,
Just wanted to present a review of my new Noreve case for the Lumia 920. While I don't post in this section of the forum usually, those who know me will know that I love my Noreve cases, and I think that they are the best cases that money can buy. So I am thrilled to be reviewing another case by them, this time for the Nokia Lumia 920. This is my 4th Noreve case, so I am familiar with the company and with their dedication to quality.
Right off the bat, you are as always, greeted with the quality Noreve packaging :

The smell of genuine leather hits you after you've taken the case out of it's protective sleeve. The colour for this particular case is described as "Lie de vin" on the Noreve website, and is part of their Ambition selection. It's a grainy leather with a very fine, soft touch to it. It's not prone to fingerprints or smudges. The colour I think it's really great, as a standard black case for this phone wouldn't quite do it justice I think. It's a deep pink and it looks luscious.
Here are some more pictures of the case, with more detail, and shots covering both sides, the top, and the back.
The great thing about Noreve cases are the cut outs for the ports. They're all flawless, everything which needs to be there simply is, and anything which doesn't simply is not. The clasp when you close the case is nice and firm, and will not open unless you want it to. The stitching throughout the case is exceptional as always as with Noreve cases. Then again, you get what you pay for. This case in this finish is 53 Euros on their website. While some may feel like that's a lot, it's a case with outstanding quality. And this being my 4th Noreve case, I can say with experience that they hold up to just about anything, while looking classy as can be at the same time. I've never had any of their cases wear out on me, or have the stitching come apart, etc. These are built like tanks, yet still look elegant. Usually, those two features are mutually exclusive to one another.
And just the touch and smell of high quality genuine leather gets me every time..
Thank you all for reading. For those of you who are interested, you can check out their Lumia 920 product page here.
Also feel free to check out my other reviews on Noreve cases on this forum. A quick search for "Noreve" at the top should bring them up
Cheers.
Does this allow wireless charging with the case on?

I might be wrong but I don't think you can do wireless charging with any case on.
Wireless charging with the original nokia cover CC-1043 is working!
So I got two new cases in today, and one is the Pierre Cardin brown leather case! I recently purchased a leather one for my Note 4 and one for my mom's Note 5, and honestly, I love these cases. The real leather feel is so cool, and it's nice and soft when you place the phone down. I have a TSCASE leather case as well, and I can say that this one might just offer a tad more protection on the corners, and is a tiny bit beefier than the TSCASE so that it feels a bit more substantial and curved. The feel in the hand is awesome.
The packaging is nice from the company:

All buttons are easily accessible, and honestly, compared to the TSCASE leather one, the power button feels better on this because of how the cutout is:
Can easily access the heart rate scanner:
I love the look of the stitching on the back:
All ports accessible:
Overall, looks awesome and feels awesome
This case is definitely worth it if you're like me and you're bored with basic TPU type cases. I love leather cases on these phones; it just gives it a different feel. They have a bunch of colors, but I decided to just stick with ol tried and true brown leather...plus, it matches my moto 360 2015 watch band! i personally haven't had any cons with their cases, but one member claimed that on the note 4 case, when it got so hot from setting his phone up, the inside piece of felt or lining came apart from the leather. i've yet to seen this, as i've done the setup on my note 4 as well, but who knows if that's an issue. he may just have gotten a faulty case; i haven't had a problem with my note 4 or note 5 case, and my s7 case is still doing great.
bought it off amazon, and they do prime shipping as well. totally worth it if you want a high quality leather case

Now this is an interesting case idea that I've never owned before! So I got the Poetic Quarterback case; Poetic makes some good stuff, as I've had their Affinity series, which is a nice case, but i personally hate clear back cases (they get smudgy, oily etc.) My favorite type of case is leather, but I do like a good TPU every now and then (matte style.) I bought the Quarterback case because it seems unique..it's a really thin flexible TPU, but on the back, a hard plastic snaps on. It comes with black, but their plan is to sell different color back plates, which seems like a real cool idea. You buy the case in black, and then if you want to switch out, just get another color! Awesome idea, but no word yet as to when they're going to sell the colors and for how much. Until then, I really dig this case in black!
The backplate:

Ok, so the only con i have towards this case is the back is slippery..like really slippery. not in the hand, but on a table. so on my desk i can easily push this and it'll glide along. now, for me, that's not an issue because i don't care about things like that, but for some people, that's an issue. either way, only a con in the sense that others may not like it. besides, if you lay your phone face down on a table, the TPU lip that is in the front prevents it from moving.
All ports easily accessible:
Buttons are nice and clicky, and the side is TPU, not the hard plastic, so there's a good grip. There's a little ridge that helps with the grip.
Overall, this is a really nice case. The lip that comes over the edge of the front doesn't come over really far into the bezel which is awesome because I have the Spigen curved crystal screen protector, and being that it's curved, even though it's thin it goes right to the edge. Other cases will lift it up (even Spigens own cases!!) so i'm happy with how this is.
Either way, try this case out. Only $10 on Amazon with prime, and hopefully when the color plates come out they'll be priced reasonably enough to be able to swap whatever colors you want.
