My wife has the Turbo and is time for her to upgrade. she really likes the flip case with the window. She tends to just toss the phone in her purse, so the flip case is really needed. Does the new Z family still use the flip case app like the Turbo? I searched but don;t see any official flip case like the turbo. only some 3rd party ones and they don't have the window.

Here I am, in total confusion. Should I buy a pouch or case?
Here's what I feel, think and want:
I like a pouch, because the phone inside is pure. I can take it out and I'll be holding the phone in its slimmest form (read: original form). On the other hand, I have used pouches before with my LG Optimus 2X and the cover got these marks where it always slid over the pouch (basicly, cover was screwed).
That said, it's pretty clear. I like to hold the S5 like I got it from the box. On the other hand I would like it to have some protection.
I feel that a flip case (from Samsung) might suit me the best, because it's pretty thin and covers the screen as well.
But, somehow I think that this flip case might be a bit unhandy sometimes (taking pictures, holding it to type, sturdy?).
What I'm asking: does anyone have experience with large smartphones and pouches?
Here's some links:
S5 Flip wallet
Krusell Pouch 1
Krusell Pouch 2
(also, if you know some other pouches - perhaps tailored for the S5 - do tell!)
I am looking for a pouch as well..using the one for I got for the S3 but for obvious reasons, it doesnt close the top portion unless if i force the velcro to reach, lol.
I'm also looking for a pouch for my S5. I've purchased a couple off of ebay. They are always too big. Has anyone found one that they could recommend that fits a naked S5? Not one that can also fit a Note. This is a big phone already and I don't want to have an even bigger pouch on my belt.
I'm not in the practice to carry a purse around. I carry a pouch on my belt. I use it to carry my phone, nothing else. I have a wallet in my back pocket for cards and such. I like the look and feel of the phone itself. I don't want to cover my well designed phone with a cheap case or even and expensive one. I'm looking for a pouch that fits the s5 cleanly and naked. All I've seen so far are ones that fit it with a case on it or they are universal and big enough to also fit a note. The note is a class bigger than I need.

I don't know exactly what you are looking for but I just received this pouch and my naked S5 fits in it perfectly with no room to spare. You may have tried one like this already. Once clipped onto your belt the case can be rotated 360 degrees through eight different, fairly firm positions 45 degrees apart. If you don't want the rotation capability you could easily glue it in the position you want. The flap is held in place magnetically.

Those are the specs I am looking for. But I'm also wanting a horizontal pouch. I also need a very good clip. I usually get one that has the the extra belt loops on each side of the clip. I work on a ladder all the time and usually have other things on my belt also. I've had lesser clips work their way off while up there and phones don't do well from a drop that far up.
I am finally taking the leap back to Samsung after being a Samsung Hater since my GS2. Have had every Htc and LG phone since. Im excited to have a phone that every accessory known to man is available.
Having ZERO experience with Sview, id like to know do case companies make Sview cases or are they propreitary to Samsung? I really liked the LG circle case, and had a leather one made by TETDED which was really cool. Thanks
The only truly leather case which works like a S View case is made by Montblanc see here http://m.montblanc.com/en-gb/produc...let-computer-case-ii-sgn4-black-s-113387.aspx
And why do you think that has the view box? There are tons of leather diary style cases. I'm looking for one with the windo
The Samsung sview is actually really nice. If you register you phone with sammy, they send you a 50% off any accessories under $50, so the sview ends up being $25. It's not leather, but still feels nice. Hit up Best Buy and pull one out of the box, see how you like it.

Obviously the case does not have a view window. I am not stupid. But it is like the S View in that it has the electronics and connectivity of the S View case and allows access to additional software. Not all S View cases have a window there is a style with LED display. If you find a leather case with the special connectors please post a link.
The official Samsung S View case is decent but flawed. If you flip the front cover open all the way around to the back cover, in order to hold it normally, you will notice that it becomes easier to accidently open the case now as the binding weakens.
I've reviewed these in the past, this makes a nice inexpensive color swap if you want a wood cover for your device.

I'm on my 2nd Toast skin, and it's as nice as ever. Perfect for those of us who couldn't decide whether we wanted a permanent wood back or not.
Does anyone else use these skins? I would like to see some pics.
could theese skins be used instead of the original back cover? since it is also only glued to the back?
Looking for a sleeve for my nexus 9 that can also be used as a stand. I have a book-type case for it but I'd rather not have the back covered when using it and I thought a sleeve would be a better alternative for when not in use rather than having to pop the device in and out the case all the time. There are times when I 'd want a stand feature though which most sleeves tend to lack. A working HTC smart cover would be the ideal solution but it really is a useless!
I found one on amazon UK but its a bit bigger than the N9 so I was wondering if anyone knew of any other similar type designs that will give a more snug fit. I would post the link but I haven't posted on here before so I can't! If you search Mulbess sleeve you'll see it.
Thanks!
So I'm trying to decide what kind of holster I want to get for my Pure. Yes, I know that holsters are out of style, and frankly I don't care. The phone is too large for me to put in my pocket *and* do my work without worrying that I'm going to bend the phone or whatever.
I had a vertical holster for my 2013 Moto X, but I think that I'd like to go horizontal this time since this phone is taller than my last one. I'm not terribly impressed by the ones that are marketed strictly for the Pure, so I did a size comparison with the Note 4 and found a couple that I liked. But... while the Pure is about the same size as the Note 4 it is a bit thicker due to the curve. So, would you all think that something like this should work??

Right now I only have the bumper case on, but if I find a slim kickstand that I like I may put that on.
Let me know how you think it would fit in these! I appreciate your input!

I saw a couple unboxing videos where the size seemed to exactly match some other phones (but I don't know what they were.)
I bought a slim $7 otterbox knockoff shell + holster clip. And I will look for something else when they start making more cases. I really like the way the urvoix looks, but the rip of velcro everytime I grab my phone is not going to work for me, especially in meetings.
When I told my wife that I was looking for something with a belt clip, she suggested that I put my phone in a pocket protector and hang it from my fanny pack, so I'm guessing these are no longer in fashion.

Yeah, that's what they tell me at least. But I jump in and out of forklifts all day and move farm supplies all over the place, so I can't do what needs to be done with a phone in my pocket. I'll be unfashionable if it means not having to replace a $450 phone over a hard landing.
There were a couple other canvas horizontal holders that were magnetic, and I thought about them as well.
