You can look at the products at their website here. Keep in mind though that they're extremely expensive, here are the products on their store. Yes, you read those prices correctly,
You can see someone using one of their pens here.

I did check out the Montblanc site. But thanks for the links. I am hoping someone reviews these products.

No problem. I'm not interested in buying anything from them, but it is interesting to see what they can do better. Haven't found anything other than that video that showcases their products for the Note 4. Guess we'll have to wait for October.

Good god, how can they justify charging that much for a case?
I wish they would just make a decent leather flip at a reasonable price rather than this cheap plastic [email protected] they have on the s5 and note 4 cases. I don't care if it says mont blanc to be honest I would rather it didn't as most people I know that use a mont blanc are rather pretentious

I agree I would like a real leather flip cover that also replaces the back cover. How difficult can it be?

Mont Blanc is the only thing you're paying for. The probability of the quality being low is also very low, but the thing you're paying for is that star. The Mont Blanc Star is much more powerful than the Nike check, or most any logo in the world of buying everyday things that are really expensive. Does a Bentley get you somewhere more so than does a Ford? No, if you're there, you're there. Does a Bentley get you there more comfortably? Arguably, but at the same time, arguably not depending on who you ask. No F150 man will ever be driving a Bentley and be happy about it. It's really about your preference and if 350 dollars is nothing for you then you will not care about that price tag anyway and buy it. It's more something of soft leather, hand stitched, all that snooty crap.
That being said, I am still waiting in this lifetime to buy my first Mont Blanc. The closes I have come is Cross... so... you know where I lie on this list.
PS - I drive a 99 Jeep Wrangler lol

he babbled on for far too long to tell us that he has a stylus pen with a star on top......
To me, this is comparable between choosing between the new iPhone and the Note 4.
Do I want to spend more money for the brand as opposed to the features? The damn case can't even hold cards? Really?
I'll keep my eye on the case and if I choose to make the risk in purchasing the case then i will be sure to provide a review; if I end upI getting the case, please dont consider me pretentious

Thanks for showing off some pictures of the case.
It would be most appreciated if you are able to let us know how you think the case is. It looks sleek and classy jn my opinion, but it would be nice to see how well it can protect the phone toting such a price tag.

Probably £100 too expensive for what it is. Super high quality and lovely finish. But here is the kicker - made in Korea. Makes me think actually made by Samsung supplier. Will share more views over the weekend.
Haha I would not be surprised with that fact as well.
It would be a clever marketing scheme. There are individuals out there that would pay a premium for something that is not widely available to other individuals simply because of the price tag.

Thank you for the pictures. The case looks lovely (even though I'd choose the soft leather one ). How much did you pay, if you don't mind me asking.
What do you think about the "exclusive" features, i.e. fountain pen style on s note?
I'm seriously considering buying this...

Hi,
I believe he orders directly from the manufacturers, not G market.
He told me to ask what price in pounds would everyone be willing to pay for these mesh cases and possible the SGP slider cases?
Thanks!
ok cool no worries i think around a tenna cause its that price from the korea's
Anyone got any more experience of the Cae-Mate Tough Case? Looks like the kind of thing I need (I'm notoriously cack-handed!) but worried it bulks the phone out too much. Are they pocketable (jeans) or are you resigned to jacket pockets and manbags only?
I have bought the black one - very good quality - really recommend to all!
I bought a red one of these for a slightly different look in actual life the red colour is a metalic cherry red not the bright red in the pic. Get 2 free screen protectors as well which is cool.

JUST GOT one of these from ebay. The quality of the material is excellent.
but they have 2 major flaws preventing them to be useful
1)The surface of this case is smooth , so still has difficulty holding the phone.
2)keeping this phone on the back on table, you will miss most calls, as the speaker is almost completely covered in this position.
if these two flaws are corrected we have a killer case.
Title says it all. I just ordered one. Looks good, so I just had to do it.

I like the look of the Otterbox case but am concerned about what to do when mounting the phone in the car.
I've just received my DHD and am looking for cases, car holders etc. I like the Brodit range of holders, but guess it won't work with this Otterbox case.
Any suggestions?

aha i keep mentioning this everywhere...i dont work for them...i havent even had mine come yet...i'm hoping for it to come tomorrow...the main advantage for me is not having to take it out of the case!
the thing which annoyed me most about my Touch HD and the car holder was it kept peeling off the InvisibleShield from the back of my phone
@insty - I got it to quote to Australia.....(change country suitably, for 'state' the last option is something like "non-USA/Other)
@silencer - what, you're 30kg and lack the muscle to handle the combined mass of 189GRAMS of the phone/case? I'd consider the extra 5x6x5mm dimensions worthwhile for decent exterior protection. Get over it.
Ended up with a quote of $44 inclusive of postage, 10% discount and exchange rate.
Too bad I have birthday/anniversary presents coming up; waiting on back-pay and will jump on this straight away .
Looking forward to a proper review on it, not that I'm expecting much different to the usual Otterbox reviews/praise.
Tried to order one through Otterbox's website, but they don't like my address, even with the Australia/Non-US state chosen.
So I'll wait for it to turn up on ebay.

yeah I also see the 4 lines, everyone knows how much hassle they are when you order off of their website. It will commonly say still processing even after it had been delivered. They seem to be having a lot of trouble at the moment with the whole process, good luck contacting them. Fill us in with what they reply with
Seems a bit pricey...
What's it made of? Kevlar? Neoprene embedded with microscopic diamonds?

Does the job and looks pretty good too, stops the phone from feeling too 'slippy' and doesn't bulk out the phone by too much.

How long does it usually take to ship? I ordered on 11/8, and as of right now it still says "processing" and "not shipped". Their shipping chart says it should only take 4 days. Well that's today, and I don't have it. I emailed them, but like you said also, no reply. I was already charged too. The very next day. They take the money, but then that's it. I'm not in a rush for it, but it would be nice to know when I will get it.

Can people post their opinions who have got them? Does it make the phone too bulky, does the phone still feel good in the hand etc

When I first saw the nexus 4 I was excited for the accessory possibilities. Since it is built in a similar manner as the Iphone 4/4s with glass on both sides and it was selling out everywhere I was sure the accessory manufacturers would jump on it. All I wanted since I first saw it for the iphone 4 was this bumper...

There plenty just gotta search, if you want a high end pouch go on etsy, if you want a $10 mybat tuff hybrid case go on eBay,

Also, do not forget that the iPhone 4/4s has been there for a while already (it is from June 2010), while the N4 has released just some months ago.
Yet, there are plenty of accesories, just google for them (or look here).

I live in Paris. You can get plenty of accessories from ebay, DX.com, etc in Europe.
I thought it was a question thread asking for accessories, now I see it was just to complain at Google. I really do not see the point for a thread like that.
Go ahead, buy an iPhone.
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
So you bought a phone that is basically a developers phone, for half of the price of any phone out there with buying and your pissed because said phone isn't selling accessories at stores that don't have the phone in the first place? The beauty of this device is the fact that it's the cutting edge of Google's software development. Google is making very little from the hardware and is not a accessory developer. Apple on the other hand is all of the above, hence 3 million different accessories for their super popular phone. Companies make accessories for popular phones, see galaxy s3, iPhone, and that's about it. Is the phone is sold by t mobile or three or who ever is selling it in the bricks and mortar stores, you should check there, but the swear off any Google products...I think they will be okay, but they will be wanting their free everything you are using back, and good luck with BlackBerry iPhone and Windows. I hope you see the humor in my comment and don't take it personally

There are a decent # of accessories but if you're expecting iPhone numbers then get an iPhone. They make millions of one phone, android is considerably more diverse.

I haven't found one anywhere and doubt we'll see one for a while... I'm thinking about designing my own, buying a block of aluminum and taking it to the nearest maker club and milling it myself. If I do I will definitely post it here.

I tend to agree a little, to get the SlimPort cable to connect from N4 to TV is $50 minimum, if you want to charge your device while watching a movie then it's another $50 because Amazon don't ship to Australia for certain items - mainly electrical.
It sucks. I've honestly been turned off by Google since I've purchased my Nexus 4, from the debacle that was shipping times, to hardware problems with the phones and the support staff lying to me twice I was fed up with this experience.
Google didn't bother to pour millions into marketing the N4. (compare it to the iPhones and Galaxy Series) And, I'm ok with that. :good:
pissed me off really Speck declined the vote with over 1k3 votes but about to release a case for Galaxy S4. WTF?!? Incase has cases for galaxy s3, Incipio is making cases for HTC One and Nokia and the galaxy s3, Belkin is also on their way for Galaxy s4 cases. I MEAN WTF? sorry for my languages, but i've been looking for a good case so long.. even otterbox, decided not to make cases for our Nexus 4. SUPER PISSED!!!
sorry for my language guys..
Again, look how Samsung markets their Galaxy series opposed to the Nexus lineup; Basic supply and demand. :fingers-crossed:

There are plenty of other cases to choose from. If a company doesn't want to take your money that's fine, give it to a more deserving company.

Seems a bit of a trolling post, this.
Can't exactly see much of a shortage myself, what with the innovation of international shipping.
Since goods are generally cheaper in the States, you add a bit on for postage, and take a bit off due to the advantageous exchange rate, all in all it's a pretty good deal.
So I just ordered the (In my opinion.) three best accessories: official bumper, dbrand skin, and skinomi screen protector. I do love this phone and think that it will be protected well enough. I didn't start this thread to troll or imply that the iPhone is better. But damn those cheap Chinese aluminum bumpers are classy. I intended to start a conversation which accessory manufacturers might see, or somebody could point out some cool accessories that actually exist. (Which they did.) I think the arguments that the N4 is a development device and so manufacturers don't want to make accessories for it are invalid since the gnex had plenty of support from those awesome/cheap Chinese manufacturers, and more importantly, dbrand is making a killing on N4 skins. There is obviously a profitable market for N4 accessories.

I understand. But it'll come eventually. I remember there was almost nothing for the Nexus 7 mostly "Universal" fit items, generic looking TPU cases and crappy folios when it came out but now there's lots of options. Now that the supply issues are fixed for the N4 there are more items starting to come out. I think by the time I/O happens there'll be a variety of more options for the N4.
Well I would have redone this video, but there is only a slim window where my daughter isn't awake. I use this camera for work and forgot the aperture was set wide open. That's why there is such a shallow depth of field...
This is probably the biggest issue with the fake Spigens along with the sub par inner layer.

Just want to warn members, for people who DON'T want to buy a fake, do not buy from a ebay seller named best201202
the seller, in order to get a PARTIAL refund will force you to give a positive feedback, if not he will refuse to give you a refund, hence is feedback rating is skewed.
I do not hope other follow the mistakes I made
It really surprised me how much positive feedback some of these people selling fake products had. Is it that most of the community has no idea?
I hope ebay seller "united.authentic.corps" is legit.
Edit: just got it today and it's legit! Nice case too
Pretty sure eBay will take serious action if you provide then with this information /proof.

Why not just report him to ebay?

Yeah I'd never leave positive feedback in order to get a partial refund on a fake case. File a claim with eBay and include the message where he told you to do that. I'm sure you'll get a full refund!!

The item was completely misrepresented. Couldn't you file a Paypal claim as well? I need to offload my cases to be able to get more stuff for videos, but I will state exactly what they are.
Actually I was thinking it would make good contest material to increase subscriptions.

Thanks OP. I unfortunately received a fake one and tried thus method. It seems much better, but I still can't feel the same click from volume

I always buy the fake ones first to test the look and feel of the case (of course they are bit lower compared to the genuine ones). I got the Slim Armor for only about ₹ 450 ($ 7.3) on eBay. For me, blades really did a great job!
Title says it all.
No I didn't know they already had them? Surely they're after market and not official?
I might buy one

Thanks looks awesome for $60 for a case or cover is way too much especially when bamboo is a really cheap material
oneplus return their official "first bamboo covers" because the wanted quality is not present... don't buy this there are not good quality
what brunsman said...oneplus pulled the bamboo covers because of a quality problem...these are most probably those so i would not buy them if i were you...will be a big waste of $60...or they could just be dodgy chinese knock offs which will be even worse....visit the oneplus forum for confirmation
Better wait until official release
Since the bamboo swapstyle covers were canceled I ordered one for £39 yesterday. Its expensive but I justified it because I sold my invites for £40 so I'm not losing out. Apparently the seller takes 60 days to process and then another week or so to airmail. I'm hoping they will actually ship earlier and this is just incase.
I believe it's taking them 60 days to process because they are waiting for oneplus to make the covers and they planned on reselling...since they are not making them there is no cover to be shipped.

Official statement said they cancelled the project and will not be having StyleSwap covers anymore.

60 day process on AliExpress means you have 60 days of refund. Once you're past that 60 day process duration you cannot refund.
I ordered one and put it on Express shipping, let's see how it goes.

Actually that's what they say. Being in Hong Kong/China I can assure you that they released OnePlus One models built in with the bamboo back. Quality is superb and not bad quality, in fact it's perfect and doesn't have any issues.
Second quote: Pure speculation, yes obviously you can feel suspicious, but you can't raise a fully unbiased opinion without actually having experience with one. I on the other hand have played with the Official Bamboo OnePlus and can say that no doubt it is exactly the same. The labels at the back of the phone are also removable as they are printed on a sticker, not on the wood - which is exactly the same print as the Color OS model's labels.
I'll say that I bought one and will post on here when I obtain it and fit it on my device. Peace out!
Who needs other covers when Sandstone Black is this niiice......
Actually my biggest issue is how to protect the damn thing. I want to keep feeling the wonderful back, yet keep it protected. Is there a case that only covers the edges or something?
So, anyone have ordered and received (and tried) the one sold on Aliexpress??
