Ordered my pouch on the 5th Feb, got it some time over the weekend (wasn't at home, not sure exactly). Here are a couple of bad pics taken with my old HTC DZ:

Colour is Umber.

Phone fitted perfectly without any need for stretching and isn't a pain to get out gripping the open section (notification) and pinching the bottom of the pouch.

Purchased one today for 20 some dollars on amazon uk. Can't wait for it to get here. I got the white glowing coal skinny xl. Seems like I got it for a great price!

I've recently purchased a TPU case for my phone which is ok but I'm really liking the Bugatti pouch. The cut away that shows the LED notification light is the thing that sells it for me. Has anyone got a picture of the Glowing Coal XL version of the case with their N4?

TIA

Guys have you got any problems with the power button? The phone fits well enough in the pouch (the slimcase). The only problem is that often the power button got pressed while inserting or pulling out the phone. And i fear that after long time this can damage the button..

No, mine isn't tight enough to press the power button - never was. No doubt if you stretch it a little (AFAIK spraying the pouch with a bit of water or something would help) you will be fine.

Hi,
I bought the Bugatti perfect velvety for S3 and I receive it yesterday.
It's hard to pull out the phone when it's in and I could know from how days the pounch will have the perfect size from the N4.

Hi mate I ordered from there few days ago. Just received a despatch email saying estimated delivery is March 7th?? That's 21 days to reach me? Did you receive a similar unacceptable delivery date before it arrived?

It sounds about right.

It took mine 3 weeks to reach to me..to California.

And to those complaining that its rubbing against your power button/volume buttons. Give it a week. Mine wont hit the volume buttons and wake my phone up when removing it out of the pouch. It doesnt do it anymore for me. Keep using the pouch, there is nothing wrong with the production/quality.

Cheers

    Hey guys,
    Bugatti has an amazing lineup of pouches available. They look pretty premium and are hand stitched leather for a seemingly reasonable price.
    They're listed as compatible with the one x, galaxy s3 and galaxy nexus so I'm petty sure they should fit the N4 well. Also, the skinny fit cases have a cutout in front which would allow for our notification LED to be seen while in the pouch. These appear to be some of the best looking pouches around. And I know lots of us prefer using the nexus 4 naked since the phone just feels that good. A quality pouch like this should be ideal to match the premium feel of the phone, yet provide scratch protection.

    These cases are a little hard to find for purchase online, especially with worldwide delivery. The ebay and amazon sites of Germany and the UK seem to be stocking them, but finding sellers that ship around the world isn't easy. More links would be appreciated if anyone comes across any.

    Has anyone had any first hand experience with any of these pouches? Some reviews would be great as well ^^

    If we could have one thread dedicated to reviews and information about this brand of pouches I'm sure it would help a lot of N4 owners including myself.

    Perfect Velvety

    It took a couple of weeks getting here from Germany (thought it would be faster), but it's here. I had to sneak my wife's phone out while she was asleep to fit and get photos. It's a Valentine's Day gift to her. Here are the photos (with commentary):

    Out of the package, you almost have to force the phone into the Perfect Velvety pouch. Don't worry, there's nothing in the pouch that can hurt the phone. Don't insert it all the way in the first few times, cause you'll have a hard time removing the phone!
    p1386017032.jpg



    After partially inserting and removing the phone about a dozen times slowly, the leather will stretch out enough (at least for me) to more easily insert it all the way and be able to get the phone out. Do this slowly! Don't rush it. It takes time for the leather to stretch.
    p1386017042.jpg



    I prefer inserting the phone in upside down since that makes the USB port accessible and also makes it easier to not accidentally hit the volume and power side buttons when pulling the phone from the pouch.
    p1386016996.jpg



    This is how far the phone is "ejected" when using the pull tab. Pulling it out the rest of the way will get easier the more the leather stretches with use.
    p1386016998.jpg

    p1386017018.jpg



    The quality of the materials and stitching is top notch. And the suede feels oh so good! I love the finish--everything about it looks and feels luxurious. It also smells great!
    p1386017030.jpg

    p1386017042.jpg



    Even the inside is finished beautifully. It's a kind of cotton canvas feeling material.
    p1386017048.jpg



    A fitting luxurious case at a very decent price for the Nexus 4. Highly recommended!
    p1386017026.jpg



    TIP: You can aid the stretching of the leather by spraying the pouch with water, leaving the phone inserted and letting it dry. No worries--as long as you don't submerge the pouch in water, it shouldn't damage the suede. I used a commercial product called "Shoe Stretch" from FootFitter, which helped speed up the process. I've now sprayed and dried the pouch four times over two nights, and the pouch feels perfect now. Nexus goes in, stays put, easy to remove via pull tab.

    wow, these look classy & not from China!

    Does anyone want to be the guinea pig for fitment? I'm thinking of buying the SGSIII version since our phone is similar to that in size and shape..

    There is one size for the S3, one x and galaxy nexus. I'm pretty sure it should fit the nexus 4 if it was made for those 3 phones.

    Here is a post I found where the nexus 4 looks like its fitting great in another member's bugatti pouch.

    The bugatti pouch I use with my one x fits the N4 perfectly. The notification light is also visible when it is in the pouch.

    It doesn't fit completely.. Hopefully it protects my N4 enough, and I hope the inside stitches won't damage it.

    My package from Germany came yesterday... This is the Bugatti Cross (with pull tab). I love the smell of the leather and the build quality is excellent. Although I ordered the One XL they sent me the One X. The difference between those two devices is the XL being .02" longer. However, the One X is still .02" longer than the Nexus 4...not an issue. With that said, this is a snug fit and I'm currently putting it in and taking it out and is getting better as the leather will stretch with time. The Nexus 4 is covered end to end and I can feel confident to drop this and the phone would be fine. Great service and customer feedback from them. Took 10 days from order to delivery...
