Hey everyone, like all of you I've been trying to find a nice case that meets my needs without adding too much bulk. I picked up the CaseCrown Bold Standby case this week from Amazon for about $20, and I'm thrilled so far. Here's the link to the product's website: http://www.casecrown.com/tablets/iconia-tab/acer-iconia-bold-standby-case-black
I plan on posting up a video review pretty soon so check back this weekend!
Cheers
I'm planning to buy this instead of the Acer brand, will wait for your review.
This is a great case, Iv had mine for about a month and I love it. Keeps the a500 safe with its snug fit. Really good finish with the red stiching. Very good stand but I will say that it will were at the back after a while!

lol too late but thanks for the tip. If this one is not good I'll order the CaseCrown on next payday. Anyway nice review.
I just received that case last week. It is a fantastic case! I was about to buy the official Acer case at Walmart for $40 but the material doesn't look heavy duty and wasn't worth $40. I was suprised when this case came. Material feels stronger than the official Acer case i saw at Walmart. Case crown case fits perfectly. The cutouts are cut out perfect. I have no complaints. Paid $25 on amazon. I enjoy using my a500 much more now because it doesn't slip out of my hands as much. It feels like a book.

You can get exactly the same from eBay for aout $11.
I ordered one last week, it is pretty damn good to be honest.
I'm trying to sell my Acer genuine case now!
This case is on sale right now for 4.99 on Amazon, and there's 4 different colors to choose from .

I have the Blurex case. Its nice, I have some questions about it posted in another thread. But I have really looked also at the Slim Roocase and The Acase case's pictures posted on Amazon. I guarantee that these are the same cases. I compared the corners, the placement of the holders that hold the tablet in place, the holes for the speakers and camera, and the way the tablet is stood up. People, these are the same case made by the same manufacture, licensed to different companies and stamped with there logo. Its really well made of leather, so if you have to choose, get the cheapest one.
What's the cheapest now?

I've been looking around on dealextreme for cheap sleeves for my future nexus 4.
However, I'm currently unable to find any.
Since we know the size of the device, I figured I could get a sleeve for another device with similar size.
Do you guys know any devices that (closely) match the nexus 4 sizes?
Thanks in advance.
Galaxy Nexus or HTC One X are very close.
Try ebay, you'll have more luck than on dealextreme.

I live in the Netherlands though, so free shipping with dealextreme is important for me.
But most leather cases have holes for camera and such, so I'll check out ebay.
I believe he was referring to pouches. The HTC One X is much closer in size to the Nexus 4 than the Galaxy Nexus.

This is the OEM case for the HTC One X/S. The Nexus 4 is around the size of the HOX, so it should work fine. Plus, you don't have to latch anything; it's magnetic. I haven't received mine yet, but it was the best one I saw on eBay.

I need a leather pouch/sleeve/case/whatever you want to call it.
The galaxy nexus is also quite close IMO, those pouches from China always have some room to spare.
Also, these guys from the UK on eBay are asking 4 to 7 pounds for shipping to the Netherlands, should be no more than 2...
The best thing for me would be some Chinese firm selling these things for a few dollars with free shipping, but dealextreme doesn't have that much for these devices.
Found this one, but it's a bit too round on the bottom I think (and a little ugly lol): http://dx.com/p/protective-pu-leath...xus-i9250-galaxy-s3-i9300-black-160736?item=1
I'm getting a custom leather sleeve and credit card holder made by one of my buddies down here. If you guys want I can check with her on pricing to sell to y'all as well. :laugh:

This one has decent shipping as well, and UK should take less time for me than china, lol.
Hard to choose.
Since the HTC One X is a similar size, I think the pouch thread from that forum is useful.

As much as I want to support local (all of my swimwear are made in USA so I really do), that doesn't look worth $10. The material is thin and there's nothing to stop the phone slipping out from the pouch. $4 to add a pocket? Really?
I understand the designer aspect of this pouch but seriously, I was hoping for more with what they are asking. Maybe some color choices? Ability to print your own graphics on it? Or even customize the shape of the pouch that fits the curve of your phone???...etc..etc... All those for a fee of course, not free.

I am sporting an old sleeve from Galaxy Nexus. It is a little on the tight side but also keeps the phone from sliding out.

You know, the phone is not gonna slip out easily, thanks to the friction between the side of the phone and the sleeve.

Anyone bought this case yet ?
I'm thinking whether I should buy this one for my wife. I got her Diztronic and Rearth cases but this one seems like it would protect the phone much better.
However I'm not sure if it looks good on paper or if it's actually a quality case, quite expensive.

Def a quality case. But they aren't shipping until 12/31, well for the non customized ones anyway. And ships from France, so it'll take a while to get to you.
I have purchased a case by Noreve in the past, and while it was good in quality, it is definitely not worth the price I paid for it, along with the fact that they were extremely slow in shipping their product (when I ordered, it took about a month for me to get it - not acceptable). For me, being expensive and slow are two no-no's when selecting a merchant.
Alternatives might be the Nillkin leather cases or the PDAir leather cases.

just sayin'
Not bad, considering that with the options available, they are probably made to order. I would definitely get one for a girl. Don't know about for me personally though. I ordered the niiken flip cover.

I have read the review (in French, sorry), and I just bought one. I chose the Indigo coloured "Ambition" case, which takes up to 14 additional days because it is make by order.
I think you cannot compare a real leather case hand made by an artisan, with a fake leather case made in series in China. I'll tell you my impressions as soon as I get it.
Here is a review of the Noreve case for the HTC Desire HD, which gives you an idea on its quality. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pxqK0d_auTc

Yeah, I order mine without clip, but I am watching several reviews in YouTuve (for other models, didn't find a review for the nexus 4 one), and all of them are with the clip, so I guess it is either a popular option, or they added the option to not have a clip just in this model.

I understand they have some in stock, and make the others by demand (that's why it takes up to 14 days), so there should be possible to buy it in any colour.
I think I have already seen all the reviews available in YouTube for other mobile phones. If someone find a video review on the nexus 4 model, please post it!
Some written reviews says there is a cut for the front camera, which I guess is a confusion with the logo in the front of the case (what led me to think that that person do not actually have the case with him). Other written reviews says there is a cut for the micro usb, which is clearly false if you look at the pictures... That's why I don't like written reviews so much.

Thanks! Looks amazing!
My case arrived before my phone did, ironically. I've tried it out on a buddies N4 and unsurprisingly, it's amazing, as with all Noreve products. I will post a review later on.
I just went out to Currys to try and pick one up instore however it was out of stock. Also out of stock on the online website.
However, its still available on their eBay outlet store for the same price. (£99)
Is this still worth picking up then? Are the going to be discontinuing this model? Are the eBay ones their surplus stock their trying to get rid off?
Do you think the price will drop any further?
Thanks!
Very much doubt the price will drop any further. The £99 price tag is to get rid of surplus stock. I got mine at this price as well.
Thanks for that!
So you reckon its still with a pop? Not much else better I can get for £99 can I?
Performance Per Buck (PPB also know and Bang for Buck BFB) is that good that its not just worth getting its worth ripping it out their hands. I have had one which was faulty but the second one is perfect! just make sure you get the Magnetic cover as well!!!!
For a tablet that can keep up with the modern phones its smashing mate.
Yes I managed to play with one in store and it handled everything I threw at it with ease. I was just a bit concerned that it isn't really as popular as other tablets despite the low price.
I was deciding between this and the Nexus 7 2013, but I'd probably not go for the latter as the chip is ancient in tech world now and Nexus 8 is announced this week...?
Thanks all the same for the help, was just really what I was looking for, a confirmation I am doing the right thing. [emoji3]
I guess I'll place my order in the morning.
Cheers!
This tablet crushes the Nexus 7 2012 and 2013 in benches. A tablet that is not popular is not always a bad sign.
But there is also the down side of the company that has its branding on the Nvidia Tegra Note 7 (tegratab) in our case in the UK its Advent as they have bad rep in the computer side of things how ever with the TegraNote 7 the only thing Advent did was Brand the Device the sold making was down to Nvidia!! hence why Nvidia supplies the OTA's and the EVGA GiGabyte etc are all the same. The only major difference is the partition called LBH which holds the bootanimiation with the company whitelable.
I got mine from here, mint, saved £20 for a sd card and case

I picked one up a couple of weeks ago and haven't regretted it one bit. For £99 delivered to your door it provides one heck of a bang for the cost. I'm still looking for a decent case in the UK for it, though.
