Do NOT order anything from Noreve. They are scammers.

These cases are ok, as long as you don’t need to use the belt clip. The metal backing on the back of the case does not have enough threading to securely hold the screw which attaches the belt clip mechanism. This caused my brand new phone to fall to the ground on the first day using the case. I received a brand new metal belt clip to see if it would make a difference. After tightening the screw as much as possible, the screw held for just a few days before it gave way as well, causing my phone to fall again. When attempting to tighten the screw once more, the threading completely gave way, making the belt chip unattachable and unuseable. The company refuses to address this issue. Please beware if you plan on using the belt clip.

Based off the orange peel like texture, I would guess he is using the invisible shield screen protector.

Please ignore the comment from Fahd. i got in touch with the folks at Noreve and it seems Fahd had just ordered a vintage case from them. FYI, Vintage cases are supposed to look like used, thy aren’t actually selling you used items – it’s just how it’s supposed to be.

Nice review over there. I’m thinking of getting a leather case but N900 is just too bulky for that. It will not fit into my jean’s pocket after putting into a leather case.

Hi, I just purchased a Noreve cover for my N900 and it has been an absolute dissapointment. First they did not have the item I ordered in stock (even though the website said they did). They then send across a different product – i wanted a black one, they send a grey-green one claiming it is charcoal. The item recieved also looked to be a used or refurbished item – worn edges are a key tell tale. After requesting a refund they asked to ship it back – the cost of which would negate any refund amount. End result – stuck with an item that looks used, isnt the color i want and have no way of returning.

Thoroughly dissapointing experinece – my advice – never buy a product from this company – its over hyped,over priced and lousy.

on top of that upon my complaint of the quality, the customer rep ‘Cynthia’ responds;

no problem… Have a good day.

@speculatrix

Would you rather have it cut from a living cow ?

It looks very nice, and i'm sure the cow would agree, since it is cut after its death ...

i have an ivory whit noreve case. its more like cream then white. The case itself fantastic, dosent get in the way and gives the phone a classy look yea. I would also like to add that to use the usb cable/charger u will have to leave the case open thus leaving the screen unprotected. a ver small niggle imo.
