Visually there is nothing wrong to the envelope. The processing affects quality, the material stable. In natura the cover looks even better than the pictures. The criticism that the smartphone can not solve the cover, I can not understand: Just press on one of the lower corners and the smartphone can be removed - so basically like any other back cover. Good is that the inside of the front cover is pasted with any microfiber, which eliminates almost all fingerprints when closing. The leather feels good so far and the "Galaxy Nexus" stamp like it also. The closure is in order: A simple plastic clip which engages on the upper side. I find him fast enough, a small magnet would in any case not sit firmly. Whether ausleiert the closure or eventually breaks, I can not say after such a short course, use.
Criticisms:
The back is thicker than many other back cover, which I had previously, since it is here made of hard plastic. Compared to my old cover the back is about twice as thick. Visually, the is hardly noticeable, but you can clearly feel when you hold the phone in his hand. It's just a good deal more difficult. I do not mind, but who would like to have it as easy as possible, you should probably look for other solutions.
The combination of back and front cover consists of only a thin strip of leather. I do not know if the material holding in the long run, but it seems a bit sensitive. Here you can make a reliable statement probably only after months of use. Otherwise there is only noted that the smartphone in the closed state not load. I know this is design related, previously thought I did not, however.
Overall, my cover is worth 5 stars, as I have at this price simply found no better alternative - even more expensive cover looked no better. Anyone who knows even thinner Alternative: Please report :)
