Case that fits a case inside
My Samsung Galaxy Note 4 S View Flip Cover Case offers little protection. Now the whole thing (Including the Samsung S View case) fits inside my Nutshell case. I carry it with me every where without any worry about damage to the phone.

Still the best case on the market
Seems the leather is thinner than in previous years. The number of sizes offered also seems greatly reduced resulting in a much looser case than the last two times I purchased the product (at least this is true for my iphone 6s). This is a great product; looks good and is built to last. In fact, since the original iPhone, I’ve only needed to purchase a new case when I manage to lose the case (most recently at airport security). This is the best phone case on the market

"I want to share with your company a product experience I had this summer, pictures included.
I was working on my tractor out in a field. I didn't want my Tuff-as-nuts iPhone 6S case to get dirty, so I took it off my belt and placed it on the tractor fender.
You can guess the rest...
I forgot about it. The case with iPhone in it fell of the tractor fender and under the wheel it went. My iPhone was a little dirty but otherwise intact.
Take a look....
You can see the impression in the dirt where the tractor rolled over the case and smushed it into the dirt...
Dirty but just needs a clean...

"Shipped on the 3rd and arrived today . . . not bad from the bottom of the world. Or, from your prospective, am I at the bottom? I just wanted you to know that I was pleasantly surprised but the radical redesign of your product. I use a headset quite often and was concerned about the top flap closing but you have extra room built in for the connection to be made. I was also concerned about the amount of protection offered to the phone but the pouch is not a flexible as my previous one so all is not just OK but fantastic! From the other side of the world, thank you very much for building a superior product!"
Charles Eldridge - Indianapolis
"Your company embodies what futurist Naisbitt calls "High-tech, High-touch", i.e., that in the increasingly cold, mechanistic world we live in there is a countertrend, a counter desire; to touch and feel natural things.I applaud you for acknowledging that need."
Steve Johnson, Author.
"My case arrived today!! There are no words to describe how happy I am! I LOVE, LOVE, LOVE my case! It is absolutely perfect!! Just like the last case was!! This is why I will ALWAYS have one of YOUR cases!! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! You have a lifetime, loyal customer in me! I can not thank you enough!!"
Suzanne P Vaughan - South Dennis, MA
"YOU ARE A GENIUS! I dampened the case last night. Shoved an older/fatter cell phone into the case, shoved it in as much as I could, and IT WORKED! My husband treated the leather this morning and he's wearing it today. Thank you sooooo sooooo much for that tip. Have a great weekend.
Karen - Turbotville, PA
"I just recently hit a deer on my motorcycle. I slid 15 feet on my face, then 15 feet on my back, and somersaulted twice. The bike was a total loss. My watch was crushed, shoes ground off my feet, shirt and pants destroyed and helmet wrecked. In the hospital, I finally got a look at my cell phone... it only had a few minor scratches on it!
My Nutshell case had taken the ENTIRE weight of my body sliding on hot pavement, and is STILL intact!!! I wear my Nutshell case on the front of my pants and I won't say what part of my anatomy that little case helped protect, but as far as I am concerned you have a loyal customer for LIFE!"

"I received the Nutshell Case today and the #290 is perfect with the iPhone 6 in a Mophie Juice Pack Air charging case. Thought I would let you know that it did the job. Thank you for your responses and attention in this matter."

"Hello. I'm writing to tell you I received my case today for my iPhone 5S. Looks and fits fine. My main reason for writing is that you can see below that I ordered my first case more than 4 years ago for my 3GS and it still looks brand-new and it has served me without fail. Thanks very much for your EXCELLENT products."

"A perfect fit for the AccuChek Insight Insulin Pump.
And it arrived exactly a week after shipping. Pretty impressive, for a delivery to the other side of the world.
Thank you
Daniel
"This case is AMAZING!
It will stretch slightly as the leather breaks in, and it is unbreakable. I have used mine for several years now & it looks almost new. It gets worn biking, mowing grass, working out, at work, you name it. This is hands down the best phone case & phone case maker on the market. Yes it can be snug, but that is what I want so that my phone does not fall out. I love mine & will buy more when I need to change the case."
"I have my phone and am looking to get it the utmost protection. This is my 3rd. Nutshell for my different phones. It is the best, especially for Mechanics. I work for Southwest Airlines and we are always working in the passenger cabin. From the floor to the ceiling. The belt loop assures me that it will not snap off my belt like a clip on does. The Velcro flap assures me that it will not slip out and fall between the seats or on the floor. Many other Mechanics have to call to the next destination of the aircraft and ask if someone could please check the cabin, because their phone is missing. The Nutshell is an excellent product."

"Thanks a lot for the awesome service. My S5 is much happier in this case than the S4 case I was trying to force it in to. I think this is about the 6th maybe more case I have got. Not fashionable according to my daughter, but totally practical for my line of work.""

"I have been a customer of yours for 6+ years now and bought 4 of your products. By this point I am a customer for life.
Your products might be expensive but they are the best. I carry my new Samsung Galaxy S5 inside a Otterbox which is inside one of your belt cases. My iPad3 is inside the large leather sleeve of yours. My iPhone5 was 2 years old without a scratch on it.
I know people. You usually only hear from them when something is wrong. You don't hear enough from happy customers.Well, I am taking the time to tell you that your products are the best."

"I've used your iPhone 4 case for years.
Now I have a horizontal iPhone 5 case and there is nothing on the market like it.
I have used cheaper cases and they end up being more expensive because they break.
My Nutshell is one of the best investments I have made."

"I'm a returning customer, bought a new phone so OF COURSE the first thing I have to do is buy a new holster from your company! I recommend your products to everybody. Even the Sprint store employee was impressed when I showed him my current holster... he agreed it was much better than what they were trying to sell me!"

"I received the pouch for my iPhone 5 on Friday - I think that was pretty quick.
Very impressed with the quality of the material and the workmanship. I'm pleased I ordered the belt loop and the pen holder and the elastic pocket.
The pen holder takes a Kensington combination pen (with a Parker refill) and stylus, good for both my phone and iPad mini.
While the elastic pocket is not really suitable for a bluetooth earpiece, I have put in it a cut down key that will get me into my car in an emergency, a small screen cleaning cloth and a small number of natural sweetener tablets
(Stevia) for when I'm out and about.
My iPhone 5 with a slim but not skinny case (TPU shock absorbing) is tight at present - I think of it as secure - is still easy to extract.
The nicest surprise is that the pouch and phone sit close to my body and I am barely aware that it's there.
In addition my phone without the bulky double case (good for it's purpose) is much more usable."

"Got my case in just now. Once again, super satisfied! Sorry about being so anxious to receive it. Can't help it. Gotta have my NUTSHELL! It's the best case out there! I refer folks to you all the time. Expensive case......but as my father instilled in me...."You get what you pay for!" As long as I own a cellphone, it will be in a NUTSHELL! I'm a customer for life. Until I get a new phone and need a new case ( Because they don't wear out). Very satisfied customer,"

"Thank you for making a wonderful product. My nutshell fits my rugby perfectly. I did have to remove the D ring however. The case fits so nicely to your side that the D ring makes its quite uncomfortable. I can not see how the case would come off my belt anyway, the clip seems military spec. Thanks again."

" I just received my order for a Nutshell case for a Galaxy S2 fitted with a skin shell. My order was supplied very promptly, half way across the world. The case fits my phone perfectly, is beautifully made and the hide used is exceptionally supple. Amongst other things, my company manufactures high quality office seating , of which a significant percentage is in leather, so I know top quality leather and outstanding stitching when I see it. Your products are not cheap, but based on my experience they are absolutely worth the money. Thank you for exceeding my highest expectations".

"Just a short note to tell you I received my iPhone case today (Monday, Oct.3, 2011). It appears to have been perfectly made. Mine is the natural russet. It'll be fun watching it gradually darken to be my own unique personal case."
Dale Schmidt

I just wanted to say that I love my nutshell! I have had it for 7 years, and it has seen me through 2 generations of Palm Treo and the iphone3, and is still going strong! I plan to replace it for the iphone5, but only because the iphone is a bit small for the case that was fit for the 1st gen Treo- the case is still in great condition! Thanks for the best phone case I have ever had (and the only one I have needed for 7 years!)

"My wife works as an R.N. at Disneyland in Guest Services. She needs to carry a second set of glasses, and your Soft Leather Belt Case for Eyeglasses was the perfect solution. It works like a charm; fits within the costume guidelines imposed by Disney; protects her valuable glasses in all conditions. My heartfelt thanks for producing such a fine product, and for shipping it so fast!"

"Got the case a couple of weeks ago and just wanted you to know I really like it and am impressed with the workmanship and quality was worried about the belt clip instead of loops but the clip is great and works better than the loops would have."

"I finally purchased and received my new nutshell (I'd say replacement nutshell, but the old one hasn't actually died, I just needed a different size). It's gorgeous! It's been years since I ordered the first one but the quality is exactly as good as before. Thumbs up yet again for the best cases in the world"
Adam Sablich

"I may be a bad customer, but only because your nutshell is so amazing.
I bought my first and only shell nearly 4 years ago when I got my first large smartphone. Since then, I've owned no less than 6 more smartphones, each one slightly different dimensions and configurations. However, the nutshell, because the leather is so wonderfully pliable yet firm, stretched and re-configured itself to fit ALL of them. Each time I purchased a new phone, I visited your site and thought about what features I might put into my new shell, then I realized after a few days that the case had become a perfect fit. Last week I finally upgraded to a phone with drastically different dimensions and realized that I was definitely going to need a new shell. In the meantime I've glued some soft foam into the inside of my current nutshell to fit the new device, but a new one is on the way! I LOVE NUTSHELLS!"
Adam Sablich,

Your search for the perfect case has ended...or more properly titled "why I buy nutshell cases compared to other cheaper cases".
"As we all know the adage, you get what you pay for, well this is clearly seen in Nutshell cases.
I learned long ago, if you want some silly elastic case, a silicone case that you can't really put anywhere comfortably, or a monster hunk of plastic with rotating joints you don't need that screams cheap geek, then by all means run to your local mega-mart and get that silly case, it will probably work quite well.
However, if you want something that looks professional, is quality oriented, fits perfectly and will last - then you need Nutshell.
Need nutshell you ask? Well, I have had a Nutshell case for over 10 years, it works perfectly, looks great, and just plain oozes professionalism. I can easily go out for dinner, or to my clients and look professional. My phone is protected (I have run occasionally and it never jumps out of its case), it has never fallen out of my belt loop, and it has lasted forever.
I am buying a new one today, because I need a new size. The folks at Nutshell go out of their way to make sure my order is perfect."

The case is well worth the price. Will be be telling my friends about products and site."

"I purchased a tuff-as-nuts case for my new Motorola Android. Even without a cover strap the case holds the phone securely, and the belt loops keep the phone nice and tight against my hip. I will probably not buy another cell phone unless I can get a “tuff-as-nuts” case for it."
Donald Tong
Redondo Beach, USA
"Received the item today and was very impressed with it.
At last, there is someone out there who has the sense to make an iPhone pouch to also factor in a protective case.
The website is easy to use and the service/delivery is impeccable.
You are a LEGEND.
The Nutshell Company should be more visible because I am sure there are heaps of people out there looking for smart, quality products.
Thank you.

"I just wanted to take a second to let you know how satisfied I am with your products.
I have just purchased my third phone case from Nutshell and not because any of them have worn out or needed replacing. My first case was for a Blackberry. When I went to the iPhone I got a new case for it and I recently lost that case (due to my own neglect, not because it slipped off my belt or anything).
This will be my third case from Nutshell because I know how tough these cases are. I have tried numerous other case but they have all failed, as I am pretty hard of a phone case. I am a Deputy Sheriff for a Metro Atlanta County and I am assigned to the Mounted Patrol Unit so just a regular day at the barn can be pretty rough on a case.
I highly recommend these cases to any public safety personnel or anyone who needs a case that will stand up to anything. Thank you again Nutshell for the outstanding quality and attention to detail, it is truly unsurpassed."

"This message is long overdue, but I wanted to let you know how pleased I am with your product.
I'm probably pushing 2 years since I received the case for my Iphone; without question it is the best phone case that I've ever owned.
I'm an industrial electrical contractor, & daily wear my phone in a variety of harsh environments. It is non-the-worse for wear & tear........I can easily see several (at the very least) more years of use left in it.
On top of this I'm an avid motor cyclist, & have no fear of my phone bouncing down the interstate when I ride.
GREAT, GREAT, GREAT product!!!
Thanks"

"Perhaps this is not a very up to date testimonial. After all, it's many years since I got my Nutshell belt holster case (for a thick c1999 Handspring Visor PDA, no less). But it's still going strong, the stitching is like new, the Velcro still sticks fine and apart from a few very gentle scuffs, it looks like new. The belt clip has never let go once. What's more, it sits so close to my waist I can wear it while driving and it doesn't clash with the seat belt.
A couple of years back I got a second, smaller case for my new phone, and that has now outlived the phone itself. In fact I chose my next phone based on the requirement that it had to fit my Nutshell. Again, it looks like new and has never fallen off my belt once.
Keep up the good work - I continue to tell everyone who asks exactly where my indestructible cases came from."
David Griffin, Cardiff, UK
"My Nutshell has disappeared! Into the background, I mean.
I think I first heard about Nutshell from Kevin Kelly's Cool Tools site. My interest was aroused by descriptions of the quality of construction, etc, and I decided to order one. Being a "quality professional" of many years standing, I was expecting to be impressed by the product, and as I usually do, spend a fair amount of time admiring the quality of the construction etc.
Well, the Nutshell arrived, and it was as good, or better than I expected. I put my phone in it and hooked it on to my belt....and that was the last time I really "saw" it.
If you asked me how it is holding up, or whether it was coming apart, I honestly could not tell you.
All I know is, my phone is always there when I need it, and the phone is in a lot better shape than my phones usually are at this stage of their life.
The Nutshell case is presumably holding up well - I don't really notice it. When I need my phone, or when it rings, I just grab it out of the case, and return it to the case when I am done. This can be done with one hand even blindfolded. Because I have the magnetic version, this is accomplished in almost perfect silence.
And this, I think, is the real beauty of the Nutshell. It just does what it is supposed to do, without drawing unnecessary attention to itself.
A bit like me, come to think of it."

"I love your cases, I have purchased a few from you in the past (for my Treo 650). I really Like the "D" ring, as I put a strap (from a camera) and hook it around my belt, and even when the clip comes off my belt, the phone and case just dangle because of the added security of the "D" ring. I wouldn't own any other case. Thanks, "

"Just a quick note to let you know that iphone nut arrived compliments of DHL looking lovely and secure and very happy to take up residence in Yokine. After scouring the shops in Perth for something even half decent and finding nothing, there was no choice left but to invest in a nutshell. The clip is the best thing I have ever seen and the leather you use smells wonderful and just wants to be touched. It is a really great design. You would do the iphone world a favour if more people knew about you.I started off with a Palm 1000 and have had about 20 in between and have tried them all (Belkin, Vaja, Sena etc) and not one of them come close to yours."

"I just received my order today--a PDA pouch for the iPhone, and I simply wanted to thank you. This is the third product I have ordered from you, and it seems your quality continues to improve. You do not have the orange Nutshell tag anymore, and I am of mixed feelings. I even cut off Levis tags, but I did keep yours on before. I suppose I will just have to make sure people know who makes it! Anyway, I just wanted to say thank you, and I appreciate you making my move to the Dark Side easier (moving from Palm to Apple)."
