Just got this one, I think it's awesome
http://lux-case.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-8-9-p7300-smart-cover-black.html
looks....very....ipad-ish
can you please share pros and cons?
is it light?
when you fold the cover to stand, does it sit properly?
thanks for your input
It's indeed very Ipad-ish, I like that form factor.
It's very light,mand the back is also protected by an integrated plastic cover.
When you roll it up there's a magnetic system that secures the folded front,,works excellent.
Ive tried several covers, this is the one I really like. I can recommend it.
The picture on the site you link to doesn't really show the case... just back?
What do you mean with "just back"?
Cant find any reviews online. Anybody else have one?

No one seems to mention how horrible and inconvenient the xda case is. The xda was bad, because you had to open it to answer the phone, but the xda II is awful as it opens from the top, and when you use it not only do you have to open it, you've also got a horrible case flapping around all over the place. Lucky I'm not trying to look cool with my new phone!
No, seriously, has anyone found a better case? I want one that doesn't have to be opened to use the phone, but also protects the thing properly, as I've just had a bad experience with my old xda (apparently) getting irreparably damaged without me even noticing...
Thanks
I'm waiting for an i-Volution case from Vaja ; I had one for my XDA1 , and it was absolutely perfect !
I still use the "Rugged" Krussel case i used for my XDA. Works pretty good.

The Aluminum one is on my christmas list.
Hmm.. one you don't have to open. I like that idea.

looking cool
to be really ice cold cool.
don't have phone,pda or credit cards.
Let you manservant carry those..
Thanks for the suggestions. Wheere does the aluminium one come from?
I think I'll wait until I've finally decided I like the xda II and wouldn't rather sell it, and then I'll cut holes in the original leather case! Very distressing to find I can't turn the phone off using the red button, though...
Check this case out, makes it easy to use bluetooth.

Would the Aluminum case hinder reception? I would think so if it covers the antenna area of the XDAII/iMate
And why no lanyard loop? I added a lanyard to my XDA ant this was quite helpful in keeping me from dropping it.

just stumbled across this. i wonder how much abuse it can stand up to.
id like to see the belt clip
i use the clip on my case and its not so great im definitely looking for a better one
From looking sure the way that closes I'd very if you dropped it the phone would come right out of the case. Doesn't look very secure too me.

I guess this is the new Phone case for drug dealer. Cases like the aluminium money cases in Miami Vice.

I love how the aluminum looks, but I would be kinda concerned about the safety of the phone.
Some customer reviews mentioned that the hinge/lock will get tangled everywhere. Like when taking the phone out of the pocket
Any one had any issues with that?
How about issues with the phone working period? Seems to me an aluminum cover for a phone would be counter productive.
I found a case with code HC C740 in a shop in my country...ordered after looking on many sites and pictures with that case...I also found an youtube video about this case..received today....WOW!...AWESOME!...superb finish, personally i think that is the nearest finish to the original...I will post some pictures later, when I`ll be at home...I think that is the best and beautifull case for our lovely device.
Edit: I have the black version of OneS.
skodann do you have any pics of the case on your phone?

Speaking of HTC cases, anyone seen if that kickstand case ever surfaced? Been looking all over.

I just saw it today in the store, it was a black one.
The kickstand didn't feel too sturdy and the case was a bit bulky, however, I thought it added some substance to the phone being it's almost too thin.

Do you mean this one: http://www.clove.co.uk/htc-one-s-hc-v741-hard-shell-with-cover-and-stand-black
It's the one I got with the phone and from the looks of it, it's actually the same hardshell as the C740, but with an added leather cover for the screen which can also be folded over to use as a stand. Excellent quality and really like it. Two niggly things to note with it are you can't have it plugged in while using it as a stand, and as the leather on the outside is facing whatever surface you have it on while using it as a stand, it can slide about quite easily when trying to use the phone on smooth surfaces (to be clear this is when trying to interact with the screen - e.g typing - not while it is just sitting playing a video). Both minor points for me, and I would recommend this case over just the hardshell due to the screen protection and stand function.
tl:dr version
+excellent htc quality
+screen protection
+stand
+doesn't add much bulk
-can't charge while using it as stand
-can move about on smooth surfaces when using as a stand
i think these are the cases that some are looking for, but they don't seem to be available yet.
I saw those original case and the kickstand in a mall in Toronto !!

I bought the Original HTC Clear-Hardcase and Screen Protector yesterday.
For each I paid 11,99€ which is f*n expensive in my opinion, but I think its well worth it to have original accessories on my baby.
( Original ) Screen Protector
I know this is not the thread for this, but I´ll show it anyway
HTC Clear-Hardcase
Both Products are Tripple-A Quality.
The Screen-Protector Package includes 2 "films". If applied correctly you wont every recognize that theres something on the screen ( like on the photo above ).
I also really like the Hardcase, the only problem with this is that its a little slippery on smooth surfaces.
EDIT:
Both Images are a little bit out-of-focus, since I used a 50mm Objective to take those.
I can take new pictures with another one, if requested.
I got the black case the day after I got my phone, around 5 weeks ago. The finish feels very similar to the black phone itself, with the colour matching.
The case is very slim, and you really wouldn't notice it was there. It adds no real extra size to the phone.
My only small issue with the case is that the top and bottom of the phone are exposed still. I'd prefer a little more coverage, but overall, the case is pretty awesome.
looks a LOT like my case
casemate barely there:

very satisfied with it

here is the case being sold for $19.99
Anyone have any ideas of what cases are available now-a-days for the touchpad? I have the original HP Custom Fit case but its deforming... I liked the case a lot too . I would like something slim and not bulky. Thanks
I use one from Acase that fits perfectly and looks good.

I've found that a lot of 1st gen iPad cases will work, as the are almost the exact same size. I currently have mine in a portfolio-style Belkin.

oh good it's not just me. I thought it was because I was putting it in my mini backpack and all the stress the mini backpack was putting on it.
Shame too because I really really love this case I hope more devices get cases like this. maybe the new ones add in some metal wire or something so it doesn't stretch.
mine is mainly warping along the power port, volume keys and microphone port.

I have had the same problem. Has anyone had any luck getting the case un-deformed? Maybe somehow getting it to shrink using heat or another process? I really like the skin case, and can live with it the way it is, but would prefer not to have large gaps by the power and volume, and a hump by the usb port...
Thanks.
Mine is deformed too...

Yeah as did mine. I treated it with care too. I don't think it matters how you treat it, the area around the power button is going to go wonky
the official custom hp case is the best one for the pad. though mine not only got deformed, it got REALLY smooth too, compared to my sisters new one
I finally got sick of the deformed case. But I wanted a slim case with flip cover, and all the ones I found bulked it up more than I cared for. So, I made my own out of two cases. I bought the Poetic TPU case off eBay for $6. Then I used a razor blade to remove the flip cover from my deformed OEM case. After failing with Gorilla glue, I found that good old super glue does an excellent job of bonding the cover material to TPU without deforming it. Looks a little rough, think I'll make another. Next time though, I'll bond the cover at top, making it easier to open or close on the touchstone charger.

I have done a little surgery to my original HP case. I cut off the parts that were warping. And actually, it worked out well. But after doing that, I bought a carbon fiber skin and a Touchstone charger and only use the case when I take it out of the house. It feels nice without a case.
The only case I've been able to get to play nice with my touchstone sadly is the stock hp touchpad case.
So in looking for a case for my Graphite 6P I've come to the conclusion that I'd like a case that left the whole black bar open on the back. There's obviously a lot going on as far as camera, flash, lasers, NFC, and antennas in there. Also the more I see the professional pictures of the device the more I enjoy the unique design feature.
Anyone found a case that leaves the whole bump open?

The Verus case got a redesign that does not block the laser auto focus, its just not reflected in the photos but will be as soon as the updated images are posted.

This does cover the black bar partially... however, its from Google's store so I'm sure its a safe buy. On the pricey side, but I think it looks very neat.
Nexus 6P case
I also ordered the graphite. Originally ordered the 5X, then saw the graphic with the differences between the 2 phones and went back and cancelled my original purchase and got the 6P instead.
The folio case on the store thats not available yet does not cover the bar at all.
The original renders of the Moko case showed it not having anything across the entire visor, which was one reason I ordered it. I just received it today and it matches the current images on Amazon, which were updated after I ordered. I can imagine leaving that glass exposed might not have been the best idea, but the way it is now still looks ok, I guess. It looks like it will have plenty of room for the laser module, but that's still to be seen once I have my phone in hand.
Disappointing, I think it can be adequately protected and it's GG4 to boot. I'll keep looking. Some no name case company will make it eventually.

Ah this case would be perfect if it wasn't actually a folding cover case! ? I could always cut off the front.. But I'm afraid the edge it cut off from won't be smooth :/

Yeah, that would be no good cutting off the front. Since one of the two first party cases leaves the visor exposed, I'm sure plenty of third party cases will follow suit. It's a very distinct design cue on the phone, and I'm sure your not the only one that wants to show it off :cyclops:
