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!

I want a case with a special opening for the camera. Some casings have this belt clip which is blocking it, and others just have cheap-looking casings.
Any recommendations (links, as well as worldwide shipping, will be helpful)?
I bought the PDAir one, haven't received it yet, but I can post a comment when I get it.

I think this will be good enought for you.

Just order mine from Piel Frama. My past experience with them are very good. They always make excellent product. Price for Diamond2 flip case is EUR65 including world wide courier shipment.

Thanks for all the replies.
Piel's case looks really nice, but the price is too expensive for a casing. Noreve's casing has no camera opening, which is important.
If any of you bought such casing, some photos would be great.
This is the best I've found, but the case doesn't really protect the sides of the device: http://www.proporta.com/F02/PPF02P05.php?t_id=4549&t_mode=des&id=4549&ccur=true
Thanks
Noreve's case does have a camera opening (look again).
I want a slim and smart case.
I bought the pdair flip, and its very good quality, as all pdair cases are. But I am a wee disappointed by the width (and the way the double stitching surrounds the screen). It just makes the device look fatter then it is.
I want to get the Noreve case, as it looks the nicest, but its a bit expensive. Anyone got a Noreve discount code ?
the other one to watch is beyza - but their diamond 2 case is not out yet.
You're right, it does. The photos at their site are not really clear...
This case is really great, I agree. I got a silicone case, which is great, but I fear for the life of my screen (i'm not using any screen protector too)...

As I spent a fair amount of $$$ on the Phone, I did not want to skimp on the appropriate clothing for my Topaz.
A few Photos of the case, I think you have to imagine the colour as being a bit darker than it appears on the photos, well on my monitor.
The actual color if it helps is a Dark Graffite

I'll second that with the Piel Frame cases, I had one for my old Dell PDA, very well made, high quaility, easy to use & fitted well, also had a decent belt clip, but... that price is very high, £55 for a case is too much, shame as they are good.
Seen lots of chat about silicon cases and leather pouches on the forum, but had wondered if anyone has tried PDair's Rubberized Hard Case for their TD2 yet?
I stumbled across it while browsing for silicon cases, but wouldn't mind something a bit sturdier. Actually looks like the same mold as used for the crystal case but in rubberized black plastic. And all for equivalent of about £10.50...

Looks exactly like this one I am using:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=160344468071
(I am not the seller, this is not advertisement)
Best fitting case I know, best protection, it is a mix of hard case and silicone case
That does look pretty similar. Good to hear the fit is ok...was a little worried it would add a lot more bulk to the phone than a standard silicon case...any thoughts? Also if anyone has clearer pics available...
I tried three silicon cases before, but this one is my favourite.
My Girlfriend has just fitted this to her phone: Rubberized Hard case. (Mine is the phone on the left... yes, she got the same phone as me! )
Only just fitted it tonight but it feels OK and doesn't look too bad, looks like it would provide quite a lot of protection and seems really hard to open!
I'm not the ebay seller (I didn't link to a specific seller but to the search results page) She paid about £3 from Hong Kong.
Good call, have ordered too....worth a try at £3.25!
This case the same as the one mentiones in the first posts here. I can confirm all you said .
Thanks for those photos it looks better than I thought it would... I ordered black, white and red should get the black soon waiting on the other colours then I'll mix and match the cases
Just to add to all those who have ordered, there's one side of the case (on my g/f's its the right) that where the two sides clip together is a space for your fingernail to open the case.
On the other side it does not have this space and makes it really hard to open!
I just received mine today (black) and I have to say I love it so far. It seems to be very secure and it looks pretty nice in my opinion.
lol I got my black one today as well in the post. I like it alot as well. Would have preferred it didnt cover the area over the around front lens bit but thats a minor gripe otherwise it's a great fit and it's got more of a velvet feel to it which is nice! doesn't feel as chubby as it did before with a silicone case on it! Great price as well under £4 on ebay... pdair price is too steep for what it is! now I just await my white and red one
I bought this one http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=260471207242
for $3.50, looks like the from pdair and considering that the price of the one from pdair is $18 this one is a best buy.
Received my different coloured versions of this case and have to say it makes the phone look a lot more eye catching! ... I'm sporting a black front with a white back on the phone at the moment
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.
Hello guys,
I’ve been a reader of this site / forum for a long time, and as I’ve gotten lots of information I’ll contribute something now, too.
Since about 2 months I own the Galaxy S7. Although the phone’s design and „feel“ is great, I’ve always wanted some kind of protection for my phones, and it’s no different with the S7. As I’ve had excellent experience with „Noreve“, a company from Saint-Tropez / France, I ordered one of their cases this time as well.
If you take a look at their website you’ll find a huge variety of different cases for (nearly) every smartphone. And the great thing is, that you can really personalize the cases, as there are lots of different types of leather you can choose from.
I decided to go with the „Horizontal wallet flap“ style, I’ve had this kind of case before and really liked it. As the case is handmade it took some time till I received it, but quality takes its time ...
After opening the package, first thing you see is a black & red box with the NOREVE logo and lettering.

Opening this box, you still can’t see the product, but a nice red soft pouch that „protects“ the case.
After unwrapping the pouch, you finally can see what you waited for: the case.
I chose the colour „Indigo“ from the „Ambition Couture“ line of leathers.
The S7 fits perfectly, inserting it the first time the case is pretty tight, but it „loosens“ / adapts after a few days.
The case got a cutout on the back fort he camera as well as the flashlight. When it’s closed you can still reach the on/off button on the right, and when flipping it open you got cutouts on the left fort he volume up / down buttons. The clasp is fixed with a magnet and holds the case closed very well.
The front, well better to say the leather on the front, is soft and feels very nice, whilst the back is pretty stable and (should) protect the phone well in case it’ll fall down on the floor etc.
After using the case nor for about two weeks I can say it’s been the right decission to go with the Noreve case again. Even after some pretty harsh treatment and a few bumps there are no signs of weardown or similar, it’s still nice and pretty.
Although the price is higher than for other cases, what you get is superb quality and a case that’s going to be with you and your S7 for a long time ...
Maybe I helped some of you that are in search of a case for the S7, if you got any questions don’t hesitate to write some comments and just ask
I wish you all a nice day,
with best regards from Germany

Does it support auto sleep wake?

No, unfortunately it does not
I bought this one and I am very happy with it https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01HO8CBXE
I like the GoForLux Armor case for s7
Where to buy it
Being a holster user, and not someone who keeps my phone in a pocket, (work!)
each time I get a new phone I immediately purchase a PDair leather holster.
They are the lowest profile holster you can find.
Most holster use a big bulky plastic clip. Not these.
They come in 5 or 6 different colors.
I did a little comparisons of phone sizes on a few websites, and figured out the iPhone 7+ case works the best.
If you use the coupon code pdair at checkout, you can get it for $37.79 shipped.
Just received the case after about 2 weeks (from China).
Absolutely perfect.
High quality genuine leather, not some fake stuff.
The inside is coated in a soft foam, so works great with or without tempered screen protector.
There's a bottom cutout for speaker, charger, and headphone jack.
The bottom 2 pictures were taken with an iPhone, which is why they look worse. =)

Im not a fan of the color options but otherwise, it looks like a decent case.

I want something like that but without the clip, just like a sleeve I can put it in for when I chuck the phone in a bag, not found anything yet (in UK anwyay). Dont want some big expensive thing, just a basic sleeve I can put it in to keep it clean from dust and dirt in the bag and give some small protection to it.
Check out nutshell cases from New Zealand.

Easily the best and also the best looking.
