Thumbs up Zenus Leather Diary Case

Delivery

Just received the case, took only 2 days to be delivered so A+ for that.

Looks and Feel

Despite the case being described as leather the outside has a plastic feel to it. The plastic feel seems to disappear a little bit once the phone has been inserted into the case. However I imagine this will help in preventing scratches and will keep the case looking better for longer. The inside of the case is plastic where the phone fits in but has a nice leather that covers the screen. Whilst the leather is not top quality, this is not a bad effort.

The case is very light considering the additional front flap, yet is probably lighter than my Diztronic TPU case.

Cut-outs

The cut outs for the phone match perfectly and are raised above the buttons enough so that they wont be accidently pressed whilst in your pocket or whilst taking it out of your pocket.

Overall

Whilst I personally find the price quite high, this is only because I am used to buying cheap cases, but in the grand scheme of things it is not too expensive. Whilst I like the case and the protection it offers I wish the top and bottom of the phone had a little bit more protection.

If anyone would like to ask any questions regarding the case I would be more than happy to answer them as soon as I can.

Thanks,
Mike.

Got an s3 and this case with it. The case is awesome but it's difficult to taken pics with and it's not comfortable typing sometimes.

My question is this: is it easily removable and reattachable? I'd love a case like that, but unfortunately I'd want to take it off sometimes and put it back on later. It looks almost like a sticker on the back.

To my understanding, I believe it actually replaces your batterdoor. So you would take off your current battery door, put it in the desk or wherever, and then clip this new batter door on and it has the fold over cover attached to it.

bump for my request for a link. anyone? i can't believe I can't find this anywhere.
