@stojmas, that’s a good shout! They do look to be good quality 
That clears thing up a bit @Chris_R, thanks! I took ‘this case’ to refer to the flip one being inquired about.
It would be great if there was a third party flip or folio case made especially for the Fairphone; but I guess another option would be to modify a regular or 3d case to include a hinged flap secured either with a pop-button or magnet. Unfortunately my craftsmanship is not of the highest quality!
They are! I had one for my Nexus 4 and it was great.
Going to buy one for my new Fairphone soon. 
Greetings

Hi,
my FP1U has’t arrived until now but I hope it will come within the next weeks. So I looked for cases these days and found these cases witch seem to be made specially for FairPhones. Unfortunately there are no flip cases :(.
But maybe someone likes them.
Those cases look good too @Shiny, thanks for pointing them out! There’s clearly a number of enterprising individuals out there making cases specifically for the Fairphone, so I’m holding out hope that someone will spot the gap in the market and do a flip or folio case 
I am desesperately looking for a flipcase too
On the old forum, one user (adamedia) mentionned and presented some pictures of his case and phone

She pointed two cases which should fit, except for the camera cut-out.
Found a leather case from a Swedish company (Saddler), tailored to fit iPhone 5 but easily ‘converted’ to fit my FP:
I just attached two strips of velcro to FP’s original rubber casing:
And voilà:

Can’t vouch for shipping conditions, though, but I would be surprised if they can’t deliver to another EU country.
SEK100 ~ €10, so they aren’t cheap. But of course one’s FP deserves the best 
I just found this surely-too-cheap-to-be-good side-flipper - does anyone have any experience of it?
There’s also this generic one on German eBay and a different style on UK eBay sold by “tomy80lan” (which I can’t link to due to arbitrary “new users can only post 2 links” rule) - could possibly cut hole(s) in the back for the camera etc?
Also, I’ve always used a strap/lanyard for drop-proofing/theft-proofing my soon-to-be-replaced-with-a-Fairphone old Samsung Galaxy Ace - I’ve always assumed fittings for these were standard on smartphones but now coming to suspect maybe not. Does the Fairphone have a hole & peg or similar to allow fixing a strap/lanyard, or will I have to try to make a hole or something in whatever 3rd party case I buy to protect it?
Hi @AlexD,
the Fairphone itself doesn’t have a hole/peg to fix a lanyard to. (Double checked on my own phone, nope couldn’t find any… ) So I guess you’d have to make a hole in your case then.
Hey all. I was browsing around and found these beautiful cases on Etsy. They’re handmade in Germany, and they ship worldwide. I think I’m gonna get one myself!
The northern german company Waterkant offers also Fairphone woolfelt and/or leather cases:
http://waterkant-cases.com/fuer-Smartphones/fuer-Fairphone:::90_76.html
(I bought the Deichkoenig woolfelt-bag for Fairphone in grey/white and i’m happy with it)
Hello 
I just have my FP2 since one week and I’m looking for something to protect it.
I was very interested by the Waterkant woolfelt sleeve, or another one, but I have a question : does the FP + case (one of the 2 officials I mean) fits into the sleeve ?
“official case” is great I think to protect the FP from falls, but do not protect it when the FP is in a bag.
Thank you
Hello @Bifidusse,
I own a Waterkant Deichkoenig case but no Bumper. The Faiphone is pretty tight in the case but it is made from felt so it should be possible to stretch it. I can’t say how good a Fairphone without a bumper will fit after doing it.
So you might give it a shot.
regards,
Shiny
Thank you Shiny !
I think I’ll try the Waterkant, but I’ll also try to attach a strap on the FP (on the back, at the bottom, there’s something like a grid, I guess it’s the speaker), to secure it when I’m holding it. This kind of strap is very useful when I use my camera (you know, the sort of camera you don’t know where to put your fingers on it because of its size). Using the waterkant, I could see if a bumper case will fit if I find the “strapped” FP not easy to use
Hi @Bifidusse,
are you sure there’s actually space available to put a string through? Cause when I look really closely at it, it looks like there’s no hole, but the entire ‘middle-brige’ is solid until it touches the mesh-fabric that’s covering the speaker below. Sorry I don’t know the proper terms for the parts!
The middle-bridge (I also don’t konw how to name these parts ;)) is not straight, it makes a little "hill"and I thought I could use this hill to put the strap through it. But it will be tricky I guess, I remember spending a lot of time to attach the strap of my camera and the “hill” of the camera is bigger. I knew I should have studied surgery 
yeah I know what you mean. But to me it looks like underneath this “hill” there’s no hole. I mean I never tried sticking anything through it but it looks like it’s a “closed hill” so to speak. So I was wondering if you poked into the hill to make sure it actually is a hole? (I love this conversation! 
)
@Bifidusse
I think Kris’ suspicion is sound.
Unless you’re willing to push and indent the mesh, or drill a hole under the bump of the bridge, there seem to be no way to insert any strap, regardless of how tiny.
I think one way to resolve the strap problem would be to look into adhesive solutions.
