Anyone got a suggestion on a good wallet case? I ordered one from amazon a while back and it really doesnt fit the phone.. I just need something that holds the phone and some credit cards.
Go for a leather-case, they usually have a slip for a few credit cards.
yea im also looking for wallet case... any good one to intro??? thanks in advance
I have a leather one from sony ericsson, but I never use it, it's too bulky.
I'm not usually one to spend a bunch of money on a case...but this one looked to awesome to pass up:
http://zenuscaseusa.com/
Sold on ebay for $59.99
That's nice.. I'd use it as a wallet!! Lol

I also picked one up. I'm a little bit scared of the magnet messing up the screen, but hopefully the covers thickness helps a bit
As nice as this case is I'm a little skeptical about its practicality. For one the wallet/case appears to add a lot of extra bulk to the phone, kinda making it to big to put in your pocket.
Second, it is a case-wallet. Would you be using it as a wallet as well? If you are keep in mind that if you ever lost your phone you would be losing your money, credit cards, ID's, etc along with it. Basically you would be getting screwed in 2 ways if your phone happened to get lost or stolen.
Third, unless you have a Bluetooth headset it seems a little too cumbersome to have a call on. The flap seems like it will get in the way unless you fold it back.
Lastly, the price. $60 for a case is just a lot of dough. I'm not one to cheap out on a case but for this to work for me I would not only need the case but a full body kit such as Zagg, Bodyguardz, Phantomskinz, etc to go along with it.
Don't get me wrong its a beautiful and classy looking case, just not sure if its for me.
I like these cases a lot. I think they may appeal to many people. I have always wanted a case that incorporates a wallet. However, my ideal case would be a big rugged Trident, Ballisitc or Otterbox that allows you to slide in a few credit cards.
I should add that I like the look of the cases. I haven't actually seen them in person.

I agree with pretty much everything you said here. That being said....
I currently use a Credit Card Case for my IPhone 4S and have carried my License, Credit Card, and Debit Card with my phone for the last 8 months. I absolutely love being able to not have to carry around a separate wallet. I haven't lost my phone as of yet, so no worries about losing my credit cards...but I understand how that might be a concern for some. It just simply cuts down on the number of things I have to scramble around the house to find before I can go out. My checklist currently is (Keys, Phone, and unfortunately...cigarettes). Now...would I prefer to have it in a non-flip case format (like what I'm using now)? Sure would. But until someone comes out with one for the Note, this will have to do.
On that note (no pun intended), case manufacturers need to pay attention here. I suppose when a phone is as insanely popular as the Iphone's are, it makes sense to make a wide variety of cases. Android phones don't seem to get the same kind of love. I would buy immediately a thin case that allowed me to slide a couple of cards on the back of the case..but alas...no credit card case android love.
Will this hold the i717 tightly? My flip cover for the N7000 does not fit on my i717.

I asked a seller on eBay about this and he assured me that it would fit. I get the case today, so I'll let you know once i test a phone
No phone yet, but this case came in today!
wow! it looks a lot lighter than i expected. Still nice though ^^
How well does money fit in there? I pre-ordered one from ebay as well, and I'm just waiting for it to come in.
I've been using an iPhone wallet for months now and love it. I can't go back to using a standard wallet. I already got my hands on the Anymode wallet case with a swivel stand, but I'm not happy with the little bulk the swivel button adds in the center.
Since I'm a noob I can't post a link yet, but its one of the two tone wallet cases on ebay that have the picture window for the a drivers license. I also find that the swivel piece moves a bit too freely.

Nice looking case man! Did you order it from somewhere other than Zenus? They are out of stock.

Money fits fine. Folded in half of course... But would expect to be able to fit at least ten bills. I don't use cash, but it's nice to have that little pocket to add receipts to and stuff.

Sorry to hear that!!!! When I ordered it said more than 10 left....Guess they had a rush on them.
My Advantage came with a case like this. Even though it offered great protection and the ability to stand the phone up, I found it to be too cumbersome so it never saw the light of day. I got a belt case instead.
I can see why you bought it, impressive...kinda retro-classic...but still tasteful; not overdone. Right out of a Gibson novel. A unique case for a unique device.
Interested how this eye candy will translate into practical daily use. Feel free to update.
No worries on the magnet. The notes amoled should be okay with the magnet, just don't rest it on your laptop at home or worse get near a plasma tv!

there are two that I wanted so bad, but so pricy
they are the only 2 that I found where the credit cards have no chance to mess up the screen
all others are designed where the credit cards are pressing directly towards the screen, so stupid

Did anyone ever buy one of the first of these? I think it looks like what I want.
Wow, I might end up buying that black one. Thanks for the find!
I was considering many of the cases already linked in this thread and decided on this: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZO2JR2/ref=oh_o00_s01_i00_details
This one looks pretty dope.

I've been looking at these for a while trying to decide. Pricey, yes! The 2nd one looks like the card holder would eventually break loose from wear, sooner or later, depending on the quality. The first one I think is better. If the flap breaks, you just go to your leather shop or shoe repair store and have a new flap installed. But I don't think it is worth double the price
Has anyone purchased yet and can give a review?

Nice vintage look.
When I first looked at this thread I was thinking...Great...Let's make it even larger to pack around but I might rock the vintage look.
wow these are expensive
I went ahead and got the LKUN Collette in navy. Very nice, and I love the smell of dead cow.
Seen one the other day almost had a real thin rubber backing, that's what it looked like anyway but was out of my price range for case anyway. Looked really cool and durable but not bulky at all. Seen it in the galleria area here in Texas.
I have the same boxwave flip leather wallet. I gotta say I quite like plus it got rid of my regular wallet which I've had for years.

My Layblock wallet case should be here any day now. I ordered it almost 2 weeks ago. Anyone else order one? This is the most I've ever paid for a case, but since the phone is so big it will be nice to combine my wallet and phone into 1 item so I no longer have to carry 2 bulky items around in my pants.
The couple YouTube reviews I watched raved about this case and how good it was.

I absolutely love the look of this case. I even almost bought one (Camel Brown) during Black Friday because Layblock was offering a 15% discount, but was still somewhat put off by the price. Ultimately, I decided against it when I came across some Chinese S-View knockoff cases. I still continue to check ebay and Zoarah for price drops on the Layblock case. The ebay price is about $10 more than the regular price around Thanksgiving, so I definitely wouldn't buy this case now. Another manufacturer that makes nice cases is Wetherby (Korean). One thing about the Layblock case that I simply couldn't get past is the massive cutout for the camera, and it was like that for all the colors. I just couldn't pay close to $60 for a case and settle for that. The tolerances on the knockoff S-View cases I have are very good.
great hahhhhh

Lovely wallet. Please share some actual photos when it arrives.
Also, be sure to use a screen protector with that. I can see all those cards scratching against the glass.

Please be sure to use a GLASS screen protector with your case. Especially if you are going to be putting cards in all 3 slots for the case. You will find that over time the cards will start to etch lines into; and create uneven wear on the oleophobic coating an unprotected screen. The standard screen protector (I was using a Zagg Shield on my Note 2 when it happened to me) WILL NOT protect you from this. I think it's the pressure of the cards pressed up against the glass for long periods of time that create this problem.
I loved my wallet case for my Note 2, and paid about $50 for it, until I saw this starting to happen. I have one for my Note 3, the Poetic version. .. It only cost me $13 shipped... but have yet to use it, even though I do have a a glass screen protector. I plan for limited use eitherway, on a night when I'm going out, or want to class up my device a little bit. Even my glass screen protector has an oleophobic coating, and while it is replaceable, I don't want to accelerate the wear and tear on it... that thing was dammed expensive.

Has anyone seen any decent protective cases with a folding front cover? the slimmer the better, but don't want to sacrifice protection.

I'm keeping an eye on this company:

They look expensive but you can usually get them on Amazon for cheaper. They've made flip cases for the last 3 Nexuses. I had one for my old Galaxy Note and it was great.

nexus 6 slimmest wallet
good news - my wallet case arrived today for the nexus 6
I brought it from a website called casebase and it was delivered to me in 4 days. I believe they are available on amazon as well but i emailed the company directly as i was in a hurry and wanted them to confirm they could send it straightaway as i wanted something with a stand for a plane journey
Its probably as slim as you can go on a wallet case (trust me its slim)
you can close the flap on the front and still carry on talking on the phone
it has a stand function as well
I dont know how to describe the material but it looks really expensive
Id give this case a 11 out of 10
I have no idea why there is no hype about them on this forum as everywhere i go all i see is spigen/ringke/orzly/caseology and these guys are still taking pre orders which is a pathetic if they are the market leaders
great video on youtube which im not allowed to post but just type in nexus 6 casebase wallet case
good luck and i hope this helps.
exactly the same as the $30 case
ok i just opened the above link on the google play store
to me it looks like the casebase wallet case i received is identical to the case advertised on the play store called :-

Does this case have a wake/sleep function with magnet? And does it drain the battery?
