Review of MSI Wind U100 Leather Case by Noreve
Style: 9
There isn’t much I’d want to improve as far as the style of this case goes because it is simple and to the point. More of my concern with the design of this case is targeted to the protection of the case, but as far as the style goes, it’s classy looking and great for any customer.
Protection: 8
The majority of the case is protected with the exception of a portion of the sides of the case (which is exposed so that the MSI Wind can function properly while in the case) and the battery, which is exposed so that it doesn’t overheat while in use. My concern with this is that while not in use, the battery will not be protected at all. A simple way of handling that issue would be to take the battery out of the device while traveling or storing it away. Otherwise, if the case is closed and the device is not in use, the majority of the Wind will be protected through the high quality of the leather.
Functionality: 10
This case is designed to function completely while in the case. Enough said.
Overall: 9
(not an average) As a case that weighs less than 8oz, it is hand-crafted, and protective during all basic functions, it is definitely a competitive case on the market. There is no question as to the quality of the case; it merely depends on if you’re shopping for functionality or complete protection. Take a look at the pictures to give you a good idea of the design and compatibility of this Noreve case before you make any decisions. It is attractive, sleek, and light. Don’t pass this case by without consideration!

Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 Leather Pouch by Noreve Reviewed
Style: 10
It’s elegant and sexy and the leather is smooth and perfect. The stitching is tight, the leather is practically weightless, and there are nineteen different colors to choose from. It really doesn’t get better than that.
Protection: 9.5 (if you like pouches)
The bottom end of the Sony is slightly exposed, but the rest of the device is covered completely. There’s no way your Sony will get a scratch while in this pouch!
Functionality: 10
Because this is only a pouch which is designed strictly for protection while the device is not in use, I’ve rated this Noreve pouch based on its accessibility to all basic functions.
Overall: 10
(not an average) It’s attractive, light, durable, hand-crafted, and simple. Enough said. This is the perfect pouch with high-quality leather to provide additional protection beyond any cheaper material.

Review of Blackberry Storm Leather Case by Noreve
Style: 10
There isn’t anything to change about the design of this case. The Blackberry has everything it needs to function completely while inside the Noreve case and every function is easily accessible through the simple design and magnetic closure to help it open and close effortlessly.
Protection: 9
Not all of the Blackberry will be covered, but only because Noreve allows openings for all basic functions. Furthermore, none of these functions will be harmed or damaged due to their exposure.
Functionality: 10
The Noreve design is simple and direct, offering complete functionality. There aren’t any additional flaps or straps to get in the way, and there certainly aren’t any extra functions that don’t need to be there.
Overall: 10
(not an average) This is a great case for any customer, and will allow for every Blackberry function while providing protection through high-end material and tight stitching providing durability that will last through every Blackberry experience.

Review of Archos 5 Leather Case by Noreve
Style: 8
The style is basic and simple, but nice for any type of customer.
Protection: 7.5
The bottom and sides of the Archos are exposed, but that’s the toll for having complete Archos functionality while inside the case.
Functionality: 10
The Archos is able to function entirely while in the case, and the foldable stand allows you to be able to watch the screen with the Archos upright.
Overall: 8.5
(not an average) Not a bad case at all. It is simple and elegant and will protect the Archos just enough to allow the Archos to function entirely while remaining in the case.

Blackberry Bold Noreve Leather Case Review
Style: 9.5
This is the perfect style of case for the Blackberry Bold.
Protection: 10
The leather and padding add extra security, and all functions are completely protected.
Functionality: 10
This case does not hinder accessibility for any function.
Overall: 10
(not an average) This case adds just enough protection without being bulky, especially for a phone as large as the Blackberry Bold. Noreve allows for all functions, is accessible, and secure while maintaining a slim, classy Vintage look for the Blackberry Bold 9000.
