I just got it, and I must say it HORRIBLE. By all means, do not buy it. The white stitching is so ugly I don't understand why I even bought it, and the worst thing is that there's no cut out for the back camera. According to Clove.co.uk, it has a cut out, but the pictures are inaccurate. But I bought it from PDAir because they are cheaper.
So this was a huge waste of money. So disappointed...
If someone can recommend a flip-top leather case that covers all sides, and cover the entire front of the device (unlike piel farma's), I'd love to hear about it (and see pictures if possible).
is this the one you bought?

I know, but as I contacted Clove's the customer service they clearly said that it does have a cut out. The pictures weren't that clear to me, so I asked. It totally screwed me up...

Well we both liked the sleek look of the Diamond2, so you might dislike the case as I did. It doesn't have a "sophisticated" look like iPhone leather casings, it just has a cheap look and feel. And the lack of back camera cut out is just peculiar...
I ordered another one, this time from Proporta. Now I have to figure out what to do with PDAir's casing, since it cost me 28$ (!) for a really mediocre case.
Don't panic by my words, try it for yourself.
cant you get a refund?
hmmm... I myself just ordered pdair book type case for $28... it does have a cut out, and I hope its good... i think the looks is good enuf, and I have been using similar pdair case for my blue angel for 5 years... and this is the main reason why I am buying another one...
the quality is good and the looks is not bad... I like the white stitching...
btw, is this the one you are buying now?

Yes, it's the one I got. I know the pictures don't show the cut out, but they are not very clear so I sent clove an e-mail to verify this. To my amazement they said it does include a cut out, so I bought it. Sometimes the pictures in the site do not represent the reality.
The book type casing is better I believe, it has a cut out and it looks better. I rather use a flip type, so it's not relevant to me.
I don't like Piel's case because the top of the device is not covered properly, it's peeking out of it. It's like they didn't design the casing very well...
The case came today and to be honest I really like it. I like the look and it feels anything but cheap to me. Yes there is no cut out for the camera buy u just pull back the flip easily to take a photo. Maybe I'm easily pleased but I'm glad I got this now. Phone feels really secure and safe and looks good to me folks
guys, just out of curiosity, did you order your pdair from pdair.com? cause I ordered mine on 18th/06 and they said they would only start shipping it on 24th.. and it would take 7-20 days via hongkong post office to send it to indonesia.... thats a long time...
where did you buy your pdair case, where are you and how long does it take?
cheers
mod please delete this... sorry

I'm happy to hear you like the case, as I was very disappointed.
I bought mine from PDAir.com, i'm from Israel and it took about two weeks.
I'm suprised by the comments about the quality
side by side my daimond case with my vario ...the quality is the same as the porprota case except that there is no metal insert over the screen. I guess it is slghtly more bulky as a design
Hey,
I was actually thinking about buying one of these. Is there anyone here, who uses one and can give me a short review about the pros and cons? I'm just looking for some case, which doesn't add too much bulkness, but still protects the phone.
Cheers

I use some silicone case atm, but it feels very bulky and not that safe. As of now, it isn't hard to access the usb-port, but I dunno bout the alumor case though.
I've been using a Capdase Alumor case since I got my X10 so I can't compare with anything else, but I think it's a great case.
It adds a bit of weight (as you'd expect from an all metal/rubber case) but I like that because it makes the phone feel more solid. Phone's been dropped from '8 year old daughter' height, and survived with no damage to the phone and only a slight scrape on the back of the case.
It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out of the case if you need to, but there's no real need. All of the X10's buttons are covered with rubber, but they all work fine. You have unrestricted access to the USB socket. Access to the 3.5 mm jack socket is very slightly restricted because the rubber has a bevel around the hole for some reason (strength I guess), but this is only an issue if you have a really thick plastic bit on your headphone jacks (my Sennheiser CX300s fit fine )
I was concerned about the rubber coming away from the metal on one part of the case, but it's not got any worse since I got it, so I guess it's ok. Rubber seems to be holding up well to regular 'in and out of pocket' use.
All in all, I'd recommend this case (and no I don't work for Capdase ). I got mine from Mobilefun in the UK and they're great (no, I don't work for them either!). They seem very cheap in that link above - watch out for fakes!!!
EDIT: Oh, and no problem opening the USB plastic cap (no harder than it is anyway, that is)
That thing looks pretty thick !!
I dont know if u like your phone looking and feeling thick, bc i got this clear plastic case and it makes the phone feel really chunky in my hand and not to mention the metal casing in the ebay picture looks thicker then my plastic case. but the case looks good tho just letting u know u might not like the feel.
LOL , It's almost an Otterbox clone HA HA HA HA
How do you know if its fake? I'm currently using one.

No idea, but the cases in the link above are <$5 and the one I bought was ~£15.
Now, maybe I got screwed on price, but if they're that cheap it would make me suspicious.
At the end of the day, I guess it doesn't really matter as long as the case is good quality and protects the phone. If you get it for $5, then you're a winner
Allright I'll take a shot. We'll see where I buy it from, but still being aware of possible fakes I'll probably buy on Mobilefun. Well as for the bulk and phone feeling thick, I'll see that once it arrives, the weight doesn't matter to me as long as it's protected.
Review!
Give us a review of the case if u get it thnks!! i would like to find a better case since i really cant find many in local stores.

Sorry to bring up a fairly old topic, but I figured its still better than to make a new one.
Can anyone post some pictures of this case fitting on their x10?
All the images on the internet were just sample images, I could not tell how it looks like in real.
I'm looking to buy a white one to put on my black X10, really would like to know how that would look, thanks
Alumor pictures
I have had this case since 12/2010. The one piece aluminium case wraps the sides & bottom & is completely lined with rubber extending to include the retaining rim. The case goes on & off very easily. The seal is very tight on the phone. I carry the phone on construction jobs with alot of dust, but no damage to the phone. All buttons press easily & 3.5 jack, USB , speaker, camera lens all have cutouts.
I have had to superglue some of the rubber along the edges once but not since & the case back is more slick than the phone back, making it tough to palm, but with pinky finger practice (supporting bottom of phone) is easily overcome. The metal case is very durable & takes drops well. The case does add bulk but is minimal for the metal protection & still goes in&out of pocket well. I still use the phone both with and without the case.
I paid $25.11 US including shipping from Hong kong to Ohio, USA.

Thanks for the review and photos, I am sure you are the first to post the photos of the product in so many angles. It's helpful to some of us.
Capdase is actually one of some reliable companies here in SEA.
I am using their flip-top leather case, thinking of getting alumor metal whenever I want to travel light.
i bought this case last friday in hk for HKD 98 (ie USD 12.6002)
it's a great case but i felt a bit bulky
so i remove the backcover of x10
and my phone is as slim as before!!!
this morning i received the case, is very beautiful.
cool! looking forward to get one!
I agree with prior post. Remove the back cover for a thinner phone. Case is still tight also.

I was just about to order a Ghostek Slim Armor for my G3 (yes it rips off the Spigen LG G2 styling Slim Armor casing with the squared off design; the Spigen Slim Armor for the G3 is more rounded all around) when I happened to notice this that just popped up on Amazon in my search results but didn't a few days ago:
http://www.amazon.com/Waterproof-Ghostek-Atomic-Attached-Protector/dp/B00TEFF3YA
Never heard of it till just a few minutes ago and considering the "introductory" price of $24.95 I'm damned seriously considering pressing that pre-order but right at this moment.
It looks fantastic, has an IP68 rating apparently but I can't find any actual info about it. There website needs a lot of work apparently as it's borked in ways I can hardly believe and was directed away to their Facebook page (I mean, really?).
Doesn't appear to be nearly as big and bulky as an Otterbox Defender would be, probably not as much as a Commuter either but they don't make a Commuter for the G3, they have something new called "Symmetry."
Regardless, I really am just so close to buying this case, it seems like a big winner to me - especially for $25 - but I think I'll wait a few days and try and get more info. Hopefully that pricing will remain in effect for a bit...
Anyone else have any opinions on this particular case, I'm curious if others would consider it worthy of protecting their G3 based on what it appears to be offering, and again that price is crazy if the retail will be $80 normally when it's officially released next week.

Hey i have bought this case.its a great case and is really waterproof i hav tested it.bt you have to be careful when u put the case as the slightest of loose thing will make water go inside it bt otherwise if u put ut carefully its a great case bt wen u put it in its a little bit hard to use for me.but overall its water proof and a great case for lg g3.if u want to make ur lg g3 waterproof i.e.
I just got my case and when I make phone calls the screen goes black and I can't get it to come back in till I take the case off. I went into the settings and made all the settings to stay on all the time even during a call works great out of the case the minute its back in the case and I make a call it goes black again and I can't get the screen to come back in not even with the home button. Any suggestions?
Too Numb
2 BIG for a case!Maybe U only need a waterproof plastic bag bag.
I have this case, my very first case for my G3. I love it. I feel safe and secure, a bit big in your pants pocket but that's okay. Highly recommend it.

I seriously doubt it. There seems to be no protection on the camera. I would not trust this as water proof. Splash proof maybe.
Got an N6 on the way, looking for a flip case that can easily be removed. I'd like to be able to clip the phone into the case when I'm out and about, but remove it when I'm at home or at the office. Anyone have a case like this? I've done some looking but it seems like most of them are TPU cases attached to the flip cover. For my other phone I found one that clipped around the edges in only a couple of spots. I'm hoping to find something similar or at least one that can stand up to the abuse of many in/out cycles.
Might give this one a shot. It's a bit bigger than some other cases but it feels pretty nice. I will warn you though, while not a huge issue, the edges on the flip cover started to look a little frayed after a few weeks. Probably just wear and tear though.

http://www.amazon.com/Case-Mate-Google-Nexus-Stand-Folio/dp/B00PIOTZ04
Not particularly, no. I will say they are not the best though. Theres a little bit of play to them. If you can get it cheaper than the 30-some odd dollars they charge, I'd go for it. Personally I usually carry my nexus 6 w/o a case just due to how nice it feels, although if you find a thinner, rubberized flip case let me know.
All in all, I'd give the casemate a shot. Does the job just fine.
I know you might have your reasons for wanting a flip case, but because I wanted to do the same as you (protection when out and about but naked when at home) I went with a really nice larger pouch case instead.

Thanks for the help guys. I considered the case-mate, especially since it was originally sold on Google play so it's close to "official"/oem but the multitude of bad reviews scared me off. I like the pouch idea too but I like to have some protection when I'm using the phone on the go since that's the most likely time I'd drop it. I only remove the case when I'm home or at the office since I'll be at the table/couch/desk there's less risk of dropping it and I prefer using the phone naked as much as possible.
I ended up finding one of these in eBay for 25 and it seems to work well, although it isn't as easy to remove as the flip case for my last phone. I haven't used the card slots yet as I'm a little concerned they could scratch the screen and I don't want to use a screen protector.

I've been using this inexpensive but very form-fitting case since I bought the n6. Easy to slip it out of the case, and I've used nillkin book-type cases for multiple phones. They usually last the life the phone (for me, that's about 2 years)

This is the one I use, and definitely have enjoyed it. I haven't had any problem with cards scratching the screen yet.
If you're still looking for a wallet themed case, you can try out this one by VENA, I have had it for 2 months and it's been great.
http://www.amazon.com/Google-Nexus-...8&qid=1449112949&sr=1-4&keywords=vena+nexus+6
I like my phones naked or as close as it comes (ultra thin transparent tpu case), but I also like to have something to put it in when out and about. My Nexus 5 was kept in a Mofi Kangaroo pouch case which was great. Unfortunately, they seemed to have stopped making them and only ever made them just about big enough for the N5. There are similar alternatives but none seem as good as the Mofi.
So, finding a removable pouch type case big enough for this beast is a challenge! I ordered a hand made fabric one from etsy which is well made, but at the size of the device, looks more like a small sleeping bag than the home of a sleek Nexus device .
So I took a bit of a gamble and ordered something not designed for the Nexus 6. Its primary advertising is for the Iphone 6+, but also states is suitable for Note 4. Looking at both devices dimensions, I concluded it was almost big enough. The Nexus being little longer, thicker and wider than both devices, but not much.
It seems to have paid off. Its a very nice luxurious pouch wallet case in genuine brown leather from what I gather is a brand owned by tuffluv. You can't tell from the site, but the phone pouch part on the side, top and bottom is elasticated so happily accommodates the Nexus's superior girth!
I can even squeeze it in with tpu case - just, but its a bit tough to pull out. Might have to seek an ultra thin tpu case - any recommendations? Without the TPU, its next to perfect! Fully loaded with cards in the card slots makes it slightly tighter to close fully, but still very acceptable in my book.
Currently its in the sale on Tuffluv site where its claimed to be a £50 case (and going by the other similar cases going for in excess of £50, I believe them!). With the sale price and discount it came to £17.99 delivered.
Just thought I'd share in case anyone else was looking for something similar but hadn't found anything labelled as suitable for the Nexus 6.
Can't paste a link but go to tuff-luv dot coms site and search for "Alston Craig Vintage Genuine Leather Wallet Case Cover Pouch for Apple iPhone 6 Plus / 6s Plus / Samsung Galaxy Note 4 - Brown"
Alston Craig have their own site, but there is a discount code for a couple of quid off on tuff-luv
Hope this helps someone.
Oh, ps, there is a small slip of paper in the packaging that states you should have a screen protector fitted to protect the screen before use. Its material lined; not the soft microfibre type, but not something I would be concerned about.
pps. Only issue I've found is the elastic straps are centred, so covers headphone and usb port. Shame, not a deal breaker for me.
Just wanted to say When I got my G8X I also picked up a spec case for it.
everything is great EXCEPT... Its aq VERY tight fit, I was worried about the phone while putting it in the case, start on one long edge and get BOTH corners inbefore trying a 3rd corner and then the last one.. a drop of water on the last one helps a lot and the phone is waterproof so...
OH, and I can put a metal shim under this case for my car magnetic mount.
Thanks for sharing, and I would like to know is there any other case available , or at least some skins for the back.
The phone is too slippery, it keeps drop from my desks to the floor...
I don't always use the phone with its dual view case as it adds too much bulky, only use it when nesseary, e.g. read a book
I bought a black TPU case to use until I receive my Dual Screen Case. I have seen the same case sold by other sellers on Amazon. Comes in 4 colors.

came here to recommend the VOIA case. probably my favorite phone case I've ever had, been using daily for ⁴ months now. perfect size and thickness, protective yet sleek. nice soft rubber feel that doesn't scratch, and the felt inside is an added bonus. amazing value too. I must admit however that shipping takes a while and mine got lost in the mail, so it took a few weeks. still worth the wait.
