Nokia N9 Leather cases

The Nokia supplied ones r pretty slim & good looking:

The bookcase type from Amazon is awesome:

Melkco flip type case is another variety:

However, with the 'supplied' one snugly fitting our phones do we need another?

I have this case and rarely use it. I am not sure it was actually designed for the N9. I take the silicone case off of the N9 and it is very difficult to slide it into the cp553 case. It's also hard to pull the N9 out again.

It feels like a quality case but it is almost unusable due to how tight it is around the N9.

I had this one and sold it again on second hand market.
well done and quality, but boring to use, its not that quick and easy to get the phone out of it.

To those who show Lumia 800 cases here for the N9, beware, as the flash will be covered by a Lumia 800 case, i bought 2, the hole is longer behind the case and hide the N9 flash, better to buy a REAL N9 case on a website if not available in your country.

A new official Nokia hard cover,
http://www.google.fr/imgres?imgurl=h...ch&um=1&itbs=1
by far my favorite, most beautiful and fist class plastic cover i tried for now.
I tried it live with a same Lumia cover (except the flash hole on the back, of course, and the colour is full blue http://www.handtec.co.uk/shopimages/...032_Blue_M.jpg) and it really rocks, can't compare with all hard cover in basic colors and thick plastic we see on ebay and else, mostly from China, plastic is sweet, left and right borders are available completely to swipe, as plastic on this part is small and thin
Seems really brand new and not available in shops for now, only on Nokia sites.
My future hard cover for sure.

I purchased it a while ago, but stopped using it after about a week. It is just too tight. Even after stretching it overnight it comes back to its original size in 15 minutes of use.

I just purchased Noreve flip case and its been great.

Nice, but I wish Nokia would just offer plain black, magenta, cyan, & white (& other colors maybe) versions.

So I purchased two cases from Ebay from the user taipo212 and they are really decent cases for the price. The white one has a really nice glossy look to it. The blue one I think is lighter blue than the original Cyan, think Carolina Tarheel Blue is the color. It fits snug, the holes on the back are cut perfectly. On the sides there are no holes for the buttons, but indentations that work perfectly as well.

The only drawback to this case is on the top of the phone there is only a cutout for the headphone jack, there is no cutout for accessing the usb port to charge the device, so when charging you just slip it out of the case which isn't that difficult. Out of 5 stars I'd give these cases a solid 4 because of just only having a cutout for the headphone jack.

They all look very glossy from their pictures here
http://stores.ebay.com/taipo212/_i.h..._sid=825340357
Is it from a similar material to the real nokia ones?

Is this the official one btw? Out of curiosity...

I would say they do have a bit of gloss to them but nothing too extreme. The material is a bit more rubbery, not as soft as the case that came with the N9, however the fit is great and doesn't affect swiping anyway and the cutout on the back of the phone is perfect, I really hated the ones that just have a vertical cutout for the lens and flash. For a few bucks I think it gives you really nice color options.

That seems to be the official case on Expansys, all the official cases seem to be around that price range from other sources.
