Landscape mode?

Mine was shipped today through expansys. I'll post up some pics when it arrives.
It'll be like dressing up a corpse since my stupid phone is dead

Would be nice if someone made a battery door replacement with a kickstand in it.

this is my first time seeing that one. i went to the tmobile store to buy my hdmi cable(of course they didnt have) and i saw the kickstand case. its similar to the one for the g2. i wasnt impressed. so ill hold out. i have some accessories coming in the mail today. zagg, tpu, and hard case for now.

I have it. It's really a nice case - fits the phone perfectly and allows just a hint of the stainless trim to show adding a bit of style. The edging around the corners is a bit raised for protection. It leaves the entire front of the phone exposed though so if you put it down on it's face or drop it it'll get damaged. The kickstand isn't rotatable, the wide end props the phone up vertically and the edge horizontally. In the vertical position the phone's really low in relation to the surface its on. The kickstand itself feels a bit flimsy so I don't know how long it'll last. I use it as my "indoor" case. If I'm taking the phone out I use the Body Glove case which provides much better all-around protection.

I was thinking about buying this stand, what do you guys think? It's from:
http://www.gogostand.com/
It fits in your wallet, and has 3 different configurations to allow for portrait and landscape orientations.

i posted somewhere on here that daydeal has the same case,with a cover that protects the front of the phone.....for less money. sorry i couldn't catch you all before you bought yours. mines a nice,snug fit.
http://www.daydeal.com/product.php?productid=52415&cat=66
only difference is that it doesn't have the metal strip on the back.
edit...ok, expansys dropped their price a couple bucks since last time i checked. i still like daydeals better though.

Can someone that has the case post pictures please? I would like to see it on the phone before committing 23 dollars Thanks!

Here ya' go...

[POLL] Metal Battery Cover?

Hey guys, I have a few friends who have this phone and one thing I personally don't like is the plastic back cover. I know it's durable, but it seems like a metal back cover would go better with the phone. I have a prototype place near my house and I was thinking about having metal back covers made for the Infuse. They would be painted to match the phone as well.
Would this be something of interest for anyone? If so, what would be a reasonable cost you would pay for a metal back cover? Of course, I would try to keep the cost as low as possible. Please complete the poll so I can can gauge interest for this.
Thanks!

i for one love metal backs, I would even pay a little extra for some customization!!

Yeah but I actually plan to keep this phone for awhile, so I would spend in the area of $100 for maybe a brushed metal design, maybe like a brushed metal android peeking out of something, it would just give it that extra something. If they are able to do stuff like that and you generate enough buzz I am definitely in.

give it a few days!!! Give people time to view and see where it goes

Honestly I don't think it's a good idea. A metal back will probably impact antenna reception of the phone. Samsung designed this with plastic elements in mind, and the antennas lying behind the plastic will be adversely impacted. We have the second best SAR rating of any current phone, so as much as the metal back idea sounds cool, a usable phone sounds better IMHO.

A valid point, I should probably get a few made and put them on my friend's phones and see if anything is affected. I wouldn't think it would make that big of a difference though, but you could be right.

Very intrested in a metal back covers thats one of the reasons i liked hd2.

Honestly, its probably not worth the effort. Just get yourself a thin case and be happy.

i would accept one if it worked. i just have a feeling there will never be one as the phone is not designed for it. i think the all the radio antennas would be blocked or crippled and im not sure it would snap in and out easily without damaging the phone.

Maybe a transparent cover would be aswome

Plastic is more durable. It has a lower impact on signal strength. It doesn't heat up like metal can.
Sure metal looks nice, but it doesn't make sense. Although it can't possibly be worse than having a glass back.
Not to mention you need some serious flex to get it on and off.

I would love to have CHROME backcover or some one painted the plastic backcover chrome and sell it!

Sorry to bump this up but is this project down?

I would buy one for my infuse.

Good luck pulling the metal off when you wanna get to your battery/similar/SD. :x

+1 If anything I would see it being a plastic piece with a layer of metal on top...metal tabs snapping into the plastic holes seems like a nightmare waiting to happen...

this would be awesome for the aesthetics. but you would have to have a custom case or go bareback to show it off.

What do you guys think of this?

Doesn't it look like the Otterbox Defender?

At first looks cool, but then after a close look it kind of makes the phone look bulky

Looks exactly like what the Defender would be but Otterbox hasn't released a Defender for our Sensation. I wonder if these are from a batch of prototypes Otterbox had produced but decided not to market? I would love to hear from anyone who tries this. I might take the plunge myself as a matter of fact.

Yeah, I thought the same. They also have one with the silicone black and the plastic white. It looks appealing but i'm not too sure. I was hoping someone had it.

The Otterbox Defender is one of the most popular tough cases for any device. Unfortunately it isn't made for the Sensation but this looks exactly like what it would be if it were actually made.

Mine arrived this morning.
I had a Defender for my iPhone, which saved it a couple of times (mainly from beer spillage) so I wanted something similar and this appears to be the only option until a more established manufacturer pulls their finger out!
So, here are my thoughts on it.....
Overall:
Build quality is very middle of the road, ergonomics need working on, but for the price it does the trick.
Inner case:
The inner plastic case is snug and feels robust enough to withstand the odd drop (not as tough as O/box plastic tho..). It clips on and off easily enough, but not so easy as to make me concerned. All the holes are there and they are where they should be.
However, there is a serious - yet workable - design flaw with the "built-in" screen protector. It comes glued to the inner case, which is great, but in order to remove the protective plastic film on either side of it, you have to prise it off and then stick it back on once you've removed the film. Luckily the glue they use is extra crappy, so it's quite easy to un-stick. To re-glue the screen protector back on, I just used tiny amounts of superglue gel, applied with a pin head. Unfortunately tho, this means that the front face of the phone is not sealed and therefore not splash or dust proof.
Outer case:
The outer silicone is not of a good quality. It's very thin and floppy and I predict it would lose it's shape and possibly tear if it were pulled about too much. This is both unfortunate and ironic as it takes a lot of pulling and poking to get it to fit around the inner case. Once you've got it on properly, it's fine - it's just a bit of a mission to get it snug and flush. However, the biggest design flaw with the outer case, is that the headphone and usb port covers do not stay shut - or rather they open very easily. There is no "wedge" mechanism on the doors to ensure they hold in place. This is particular annoying as they flap open if your fingers brush past them when you are holding the phone. In order to rectify this, I have used a tiny bit of blu-tack (don't know what the US equivalent of it is, sorry) on the inside of the cover doors so they stay shut. One other thing... my particular model has what looks like a small cigarette burn on it, but I guess that's just my bad luck there!
Conclusion:
Obviously, I realise that this is not a O/box, or any other decent case brand for that matter, so I can't be too harsh on it, especially at the price I paid ($17.95/ £11.50). At the end of the day, it's an (almost fully) encapsulating case which will give my Senny more protection than most other options available, at least until someone makes a better alternative.
No, it doesn't look like the coolest case on the block, but that's not what I have my phone for, so I'm not too concerned about aesthetics. What matters to me is that it works.... and it does (almost lol!).
Hope this was useful. If anyone has had any differing experiences with this case, I'd be very interested to hear about them.
Cheers,

Beer Case (heavy-duty)

Was checking out eBay cases and found this gem.

I'm not associated with this seller/auction, HOWEVER, I have purchased this exact case (but in all black) from this specific seller and can recommend both. It's a three-piece case with silicone in the middle and a hard (but slightly grippy still) front/back that snap together. I think this is really the most protective case available so far for the Nexus 4. And unlike many other cases that snap, this one makes me feel a bit more confident that the small plastic pieces aren't going to break like they do on so many cheap cases. That said, I've only had this case for a week, so we'll see...
The cutouts are perfect, buttons feel great, and if I were going to drop my phone or knock it off of the table, I'd really be hoping I have this case on it when I do! Ultimately, I got this as my going-to-the-gym case, otherwise I use a Meifeng. But it is a beast of a case - don't get this to be anything but a beast, and a mug o' beer, of course!
If you want to search for the other designs for this case, search for "e960 case tuff" (no quotes) on eBay.
Also, I *am* able to charge my phone on the LG Qi pad with this case on. It must be *perfectly* placed but it charges just fine then. If you take the back hard plastic piece off, then you can move it around much more.

"Oh Yeah! Time for a Beer!"

LOL... Might lose it in a night club or at a bar!

Only if we knew if it fit any of the Seidio holsters active or surface, I'd be all over this like white on rice (don't worry, I'm Asian lol)

That case looks awesome!
Could you post some pictures of how it fits onto the phone?

Interesting.:laugh:

Found this on ebay yesterday, really like the case and am going to buy it! I thought of getting the beer style, but as I will take this case with me on drinking nights, I advised myself not to buy the beer style, because I might be raising my phone instead of my glass occasionally!

It wouldn't take you long to realize your mistake...

Just received the white black version of this case. Its actually pretty nice. It feels good in hand and looks like it would protect the phone pretty well.
The only cons are, it has a weird smell, pretty strong plastic smell and also proximity sensor doesn't work too well, like for it doesn't work for phone calls.
FYI
So back to the Poetic Bumper

It looks like a spitting image of a Spigen case. It does look nice just wonder how much bulk it adds, I know I sound like a broken record but I do not like cases that add too much bulk.
I have a Spigen case for my Nexus 5, and it is very nice but adds a lot of bulk.

yea i agree with this i had a spigen neohybrid for nexus 5 made it thick. and since its not rounded like the case in the back you lose the functionality of the rounded back where you can tip the phone one way or another for the display when its on its back. but i like it too.

Can any one confirm if this case has a flat back?

The case is freaking awesome. By far the best case I've ever bought for any phone. I would post pics but damn Tapatalk won't let me.

I bought one, we will see how she goes. Looks badass though.

I also picked one up on amazon yesterday. Will post some pics once it arrives.

Got the case
I got the case in blue. The price is right for sure. I actually love the case because it makes it angled and square. The buttons on the side feel awesome to click now too. The cons are that after two days of having it in my pocket the outside blue plastic corners are picking up the black from my pockets. That's the only issue really, my headphones and charger fit perfectly on it and it feels snug, there is a slight bend in the rubber at the top but NBD. Also, the plastic outside is mat, not shiny though the pictures would have you believe otherwise. Let me know if anyone else wants detail or pics.

how thick does it make the phone?
anyone try the BRILA cases also?

I am getting my replacement today... I will post some pix

eh, mine comes tomorrow lol impatient

size
About 1.5cm, still fits in my pocket, all good. Gonna pick up a darker colour one today because the blue edges are turning dark.
