I purchased a Luxmo Leather Case for my wife’s and my T-Mobile G1 phone I put the phone in the Luxmo Leather case and my wife tried pulled the phone out of the case she could not push her screen all the way up to get to her keypad so she put the screen back down and tried again, finally it went up then when she put her screen down her screen would not flip the correct way it stayed sideways like her phone was still open we couldn’t figure out what happened so we called T-Mobile because we have Insurance on both the phones I paid $110.00 deductible and they were going to send a new phone I hadn’t put my phone in the case yet so the next day I did the same as she did put my phone in the leather Luxmo case and my phone did the same thing the screen would not flip the way it was supposed to do, I had to pay another $110.00 deductible to get my phone replaced. The Magnet in the case does not have a metal plate to protect the phone from it so it demagnitises the actuater part of the phone so the screen stops fliping the way it is suppossed to do. PLEASE DO NOT PURCHASE THIS CASE IT WILL DESTROY YOUR PHONE!!

The case is WAY too small, you basically have to shove the G1 inside of it and use a lot more force then usual to get it out. Perfect Fit means bulging at the seams tight. DO NOT GET THIS CASE FOR THE G1.

This case is just great. Perfect fit. Tight around, with a little room in the length. Any shorter, it would have been hard to take the phone out. Closes securely with the magnet system.

Some claim it’s not leather. Probably not, but close enough. The price is just ridiculous (less than $3)! A friend paid $35 for an iPhone plastic shield…

I hear the magnet is not good for the compass, but I’ve been using it for 10 days and the compass works just fine.

So in case I damage the case, for the price, when a co-worker told me he was going to buy one (after he checked mine carefully), I asked him to get me two more!

This a a good product. No it is not real leather, but who cares? It only cost $2. It fit my G1 perfectly and I have no complaints at all. Get it if you need a case to protect your phone. And no, it does not look cheap

Others have stated this is too tight and has damaged their screen hinges, and I found it was extremely snug when I first received it. This is easily resolved by placing an index finger inside at either end when held horizontally and pulling the two ends in opposite directions with slight, even pressure. The case stretched ever so slightly creating a still snug fit but much easier to slide the G1 in and out of the case.
