Default Just got my eBay Leather Flip Case from Hong Kong

I have to say I ordered this as a stop gap until some of the custom made brands came on line. But, hey, for £6.65 delivered including stylus, screen protector and belt clip, this will do just fine . It is especially useful for propping up the phone at various angles to watch videos and the credit card slots mean I can leave my wallet at home most of the time .

This is not a pouch! No way could it scratch the screen . I cannot be negative just because it was cheap. Real leather too - unless they are injecting smells now too lol!

Actually it is pretty much the fake leather that smells, the real one does not so much. [/offtopic]

Be careful of what ffs? Jeesh you guys are hard to please. My tongue was firmly in my cheek - I have no doubt whatever this is not real leather - no little tag to say it is genuine you see . But it does fit like a glove and has a very soft lining.

For £6.65 - and everything you get with it - it has to be a bargain that I thought I would pass on to you guys. Sorry if I have upset the cynics. If it falls apart in a year or two (which wouln't surprise me) then I'll just send off for another one .

I just ordered the book version of this. My wife has the flip one. Quality for the money and no way of scratching or damaging the phone. Not sure what all the warnings are about. Very strange!

The exact item I got doesn't seem to be listed any more but this is from the same seller and a near identical picture (mine had white stitching) but this one is over £2 cheaper!

It took 10 days or so which is not bad given the weather problems,

Thanks for the heads up. Just ordered one of their *genuine* leather ones. Not expecting it to be genuine at all but as long as it's functional and protects the phone.

How the heck do they make them so cheap when flying them half way around the world???
