Case with kickstand other than OEM?

Sorry for yet another thread on cases, was wondering if anyone has found a G2 case with a kickstand other than the clear and black ones by the OEM. I've had the black one for a few months and the case to the front has already broken. Stand is kind of a dealbreaker for me as my phone's been my main source of entertainment the last month or so (my apartment was robbed of tv, computer etc and I'm still saving up for replacements).

geeze man, I really do feel for you and I hope everything in the future goes well. But with the case, I would look on eBay, and or Amazon if you haven't yet. There always seems to be more stuff on those sites. I thought I saw a body glove case with a stand, but I wouldn't bet on it.

I would save up for a gun and a deadbolt first.

Thanks guys. I actually have the body glove one, its what I got thru T-Mobile. The part that goes over the top is what broke. I've tried Amazon with no luck, but ill try eBay now.
Deadbolt didn't do anything

I don't know if they still have one, but otterbox ran a special where you got a free stand when you ordered a case. Looks great and the g2 sits nice even when in the case.

Something Dan taught me...
The battery cover makes a good kickstand

[Q] HTC Sensation Twill Design Gel Skin Cases

http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/search/r...ywords=sensation+twill&ie=UTF8&qid=1310038436
Has anyone seen these cases or tried them out? I think they look awesome and they have all the correct cutouts.
I've ordered one but with my location, it's gonna take a few weeks to arrive.
Anyone else with feedback on these cases?

Is that TPU material? Cause if it I'm ordering one asap cause those look real nice.

I really wish I knew. The description just says "GEL" and nothing else.
Been searching for hours to try and find any manufacturer info but no luck

This is the best bit of information I could find - this case is for the Desire HD but it's made by Qubits and I should assume they'd be similar:

Wow that looks real nice. Dammit, I guess I'll be getting a third case.

U.S??
Is there no US shipping??

I need to stop hanging out in the accessories section ....

So has anyone tried one of these by now?

I'm still waiting for mine to arrive. Customs in South Africa is a looooong process. It should arrive around the 3rd of August. Will post back as soon as I get it

Found the Qubits Black version on Amazon.com from the same seller it seems. Ordered with a free $5 code I had, Should be here by Weds.

I didn't put no code and paid same price just 4$ more for shipping for overnight shipping

Yay my case has arrived!
Perfect fit, all the cut-outs line up 100%
I've never had a TPU case before but I think that's what this is - it's a bit firm but still flexible with a slight rubbery feel.
It does add a wee bit of bulk but I feel much safer holding the phone with the case on.
I'm at work now but will take some photo's this evening.

Yeah button access is good. They're not cut out so you do have to press a wee bit harder. But they did put some ridges on the inside of the cover so it's not a mission - I'm a relatively small built female and I don't have any trouble

here some pics .......
edit: the case effects wi-fi, when i use the phone with no case 25-30 feet away from the router i usually get 1 to 2 bars of wifi no problem with the case i get no wi-fi that far off...

Sorry for taking so long to upload these... But here are the photo's as promised
Pity about the wifi eddie3six, mine seems fine. But it seems there's a few different builds of the Sensation.
Your case is awesome!

Seidio Surface case

So has anyone bought this case yet for the Charge? I notice that they are shipping these now according to their website. There aren't really any good pictures though, just the one of the back of the case. I would like to see what it looks like on the phone and what the coverage is in the front.

I have one and did a full review over on AF CLICK HERE.

Great review. I had the same case on my fascinate and the cutout around the power button made locking/unlocking the screen fairly difficult. I ended up sending it back and getting an active-x instead.
Do you have any issues accessing the power button or any of the the other ports?
If not, I may have to pick this one up. I'm running naked with no holster and it's driving me nuts!

I have had no issues. However, to be fair, I've owned a Seidio case for my past 5 phones so I may just be used to it.

Thanks for the great review. I too have used a Seidio on my Hero and EVO. When mine came in the mail today I was worried about the new style. But like you said, seems to hold very well.
Question. Do you use a second battery? How often do you take the case off? I feel like im gonna break it when i do.
Edit
Question. Do you ever have trouble with the clip between the usb port and the volume buttons? Mine comes undone in my pocket EVERY time. This causes the bottom snaps to also come undone

Negative, but I take it off pretty regularly to keep dust and dirty down (and odin new ROMs). I found our pops apart fairly simply when I start at the slot under the hdmi out.

Yes, though not every time. Maybe once or twice a day... tops. I usually use the holster when I'm at work so I usually don't have the problem. Pushing left on the top piece (from the screen) will recreate the issue. More of an annoyance than a problem (didn't even notice it for a few weeks)!

I've never owned a sedio case before, is it durable? it looks exactly like what i want but i feel like it might be kind of fragile. i've known people who owned cases with 2 snap-on pieces and they always break within 2 weeks of purchasing. maybe they just bought cheap ones?

They are definitely sturdy.
That being said, I find that the holster is what sells me on the product as it's extremely useful for me when I'm at work. Dollar for dollar, if you are looking for a similar case, Best Buy sells one that's almost identical. They'll even let you put it on the phone and try it before you purchase it.

That sounds good, i guess my friend bought a cheap one. the rubberized part of the corners started to peel off, then the clips snapped off about 2 weeks after he bought it. just from your review and the youtube review i saw, it did look significantly sturdier from what he had bought but i was just kind of paranoid after seeing his.
and on the case at best buy, i did like it but i was looking for a rubberized hardshell case, that was the only real flaw i saw with that one. which brings me to my next question, is this one sort of rubberized? i initially thought it was but now i'm starting to think otherwise lol

The Rocket Fish BB case has the same feel as the Seidio. Both are plastic but the Seidio is a hair thicker and has their signature "soft touch" that, IMO, is a nicer feel.

I'm kind of leaning towards the seidio, mostly because i don't like the best buy brand too much i'll probably head down to BB tomorrow and take a look at it again. i really appreciate the help and quick responses

UK!!! Screen protectors.

Hi everyone.
Almost every other post about screen protectors seems to be for the USA.
What actual options do we have here in the UK?
(most interested in full body)
Please do not merge this with the "master list" as that list is not relevant to us.

Sorry, what?

I've order mine from bestskinsever.com for two sets for under £11 including delivery

Anybody found any decent, reasonably priced ones?
Ordered the pack of 6 from Germany on ebay and they are god awful, guess you get what you pay for!
Would prefer dry application ones

all the one's on amazon either have no reviews or one star reviews so i also dont know what to get, £11 seems a lot aswell

I use the same. Best ones out there. If applied properly they last forever and don't get marked like normal ones. They don't get scratched.

I'll let you know when my XtremeGuard arrives from wherever they ship from ... $8.37 shipped to the UK for 2 for the N4 and 2 for the N7.

Just got mine from xtremeguard shipped from USA. Arrived within 8 days (quicker than the phone did!). It seems very good, although no matter whether wet or dry I am crap at applying protectors.
If LG hadn't put stupid power and volume icons on factory cover I would have been tempted to leave that on for a while.

Haha I didn't have high hopes when I saw they came attatched to a bit of paper, going to stick with the factory protector for now. Just want to get some standard dry apply protectors, don't really want to faff about

Review of G Google Nexus 4 FULL BODY SHIELD Invisible Screen Protector Front + Back
I ordered the same.
Pros:
* It fits perfectly fine.
* Looks sturdy.
* Application was easy.
Cons:
* Not smooth for sure. rubbery feel is reducing the feel f the phone.
* Back glass doen't look as glorious as it could be.
* Considering the cost they could send a spray to make the application process easier.
I hope its helpful.

I've used Best Skins Ever in the past and they're good as far as wet application SPs go, reasonably priced and quick delivery from the US...

Guys I wonder if you can help, I need a protector that covers the whole screen, the two ive tried are approximately 5mm to narrow (same as the factory fitted protector) I take it the reason being its because of the curved screen, the protector would lift, if cut to the edge.
Does anyone know of such a protector that allows for the edge curve and fits perfectly?
Thanks

I'm wondering about that too, so far the screen protectors I've seen don't cater towards the rounded edges of the screen. Instead the tend to leave a blunt cut just before the screen curves.
I personally don't like those either. I was looking at Martin Fields protector as I had one on my Galaxy Nexus and my Nexus 7 and both worked fine. I am worried about the protector lifting though

Are they selling them in UK? As the last time I contacted them they advised to wait until someone starts reselling them but not sure if anyone has. But yes I've read that they are pretty good screen protectors.
As to knight screen protectors - its the first time I've heard of them from this thread but would be interested to see how they perform and if they are actually any good.

Yeah the guy sells them in the UK and posts worldwide. Will need to do an in depth review since no one seems to have heard of them. I should receive them either today or tomorrow.

I've got one on my n4. Good full screen coverage, really easy to apply. Quite gummy in use, but not too bad. I've got it on front and back. Only problem is that my poetic bumper case makes the corners and edges detach so I can't use it anymore. I do prefer the size without the bumper, but its a shame I can't protect the sides.

EDIT - I refitted the protector as I had an annoying small hair stuck under it. I got it more central this time and the poetic bumper fits fine with no edge raising or affecting the adhesion. I've tried a couple of different wet types on other devices - this one is by far the best.

I've just fitted one tonight on my LG G2. Will post in a couple of days what I think of it. At the moment it looks a little pants but that may just be down to the way I fitted it. :laugh: Lots of bubbles that I'm hoping will disappear in time. Back looks great though.

I'm generally pleased with my screen knight however I wonder if anybody has tried to take one off ater it's dried out. I'm a little concerned it may not lift well?

Thanks for the tip, I'm also going to try out this one.
