Anybody know what the case shown in this video here is, or where to get it?

At 0.06 when he opens it up you can see 'D3O' on the inside of the cover.
That is a nice case.

That looks amazing! I always missed my blackberry for auto turning on/off when you put it in/out of the holster. I thought that was some sort of patented hardware feature because nothing other than the ipad smart cover does anything similar. Want this case badly! Anyone know where to buy?
Nexus 7 has magnetic sleep/wake, but I have run magnets all over the Nexus 4 and have not found a spot where it sleeps so I don't know how this is working in this video.
Perhaps they are using an app that is using the proximity sensor?
Possible leak of a Tech21 Impact Snap w/ Cover? Seems like it to me. Check out videos for the SGS3 and iphone 5, very similar.
If a D30 case comes out for the N4, I will most likely snag one. That seems like a pretty nifty case. It seems that he may be using an app that uses the phone's proximity sensor to turn the phone on and off when it's covered. I used to use that app when I had the N1 and HD2. It works like a charm, but uses a lot of battery.
That's a nice case. Been looking for a clean looking flip case myself.
I'm very interested in this. It's the only kind of case that intrigues me at all.
I'm guessing it's the d3o case for the gs3. It fits, but the button placement is a touch off, and you have 2 extra holes on the back.

He wants a .35MM Those are all 1.44mm and 1.0mm
Its all i used on my S2.
Gives it some protection, but also keeps the sleekness!

No-one as of yet.
Hence why I was enquiring
I emailed diztronic about it and they said 0.35mm is too thin and would probably tear
Hopefully someone comes out with one.
Whaaat?
Its never stopped people making them before?
They feel tough, considering the thinness of them
skin thin?

Just received mine in the mail so........Mini review!
Aesthetics:
Its a pretty simple case, not too flashy. The whole case is made of TPU, the back part is matte and while smooth doesn't appear to be too slippery, while the bumper portion fully surrounds the sides of the phone, is fully transparent and has a nice rubbery grippy feel. The nexus 4 back design is not really visible through the back of the case. However, the nexus logo itself can be seen albeit slightly muted. While it does add a little bulk to the phone, its pretty minimal while providing decent protection for day to day use.
Function:
There are appropriate cut-outs for both the and bottom mics, the speaker, the camera and the charging port. The volume and power buttons have these built in pushable sections which protrude slightly outside the case and allow you to press the buttons down. I found that the power button sometimes took a little bit of effort to press, however the volume buttons are perfectly fine. I don't have access to a wireless charger so I can't comment on whether that works or not, but it detects NFC tags just fine.
Protection:
For the front , the added lip should mean that placing your phone face-down will elevate it slightly and provide some protection. The bumper portion provides as good protection as any TPU case around the sides of the phone. The back is also fully covered so this should protect from scratches and minor bumps although I'm not sure how good the drop protection will be (this is obviously not a super heavy duty case).
Pictures:
I don't have a camera at the moment but I'll see what I can do. Pictures added. Apologies for the shoddy camera work, using my roommate's Nexus S.
Still no sign by the looks of it
Perhaps one of these? The description says 0.5mm though.

I have an otterbox defender on my S4 and since I put it on my air gestures didn't work, I figured I could live without them but then I noticed when I make a if I pull my phone away from my face the screen stays off (actually it seems to go blank as soon as I place the call...), is this a problem with my S4? my case? or is this typical of S4s with otterbox defenders on them? Is there some way to turn down sensitivity (or up?) or something? the tests for the air gestures work fine but when i go to use the gestures themselves they don't work, air view works fine...
Have you tried it without the case since you discovered your issue? Probably the easiest way to determine if it's the case or the phone. I know everything works with the Commuter, but I was considering the Defender when one pops up locally.
Yeah It works fine without the case on u just don't see how the defender interferes with the sensor it's not covering it at all. I was hoping to find someone else with a defender to see if it's common with them. My neighbor has a s4 and I'll try to catch him syndrome to see if my case interferes with his as well. But idk when I'll catch him.

I doubt it makes any difference but iirc the sensor is an infrared sensor so reflectivity of the material in the IR band may affect it so just for the record I have a white s4 with a white/grey defender (white plastic grey rubber)
I'm having the same issues, sometimes air gesture will work but sometimes when i talk on the phone using viber, the phone just stays off when i end the call, i have to press the home button just to end the call. I have the black and yellow defender by the way.
Well I tried my Otterbox on my neighbors white sprint galaxy s4 and same thing, air gestures work fine without the case and stop working when the faceplate for the case goes on, I've sent an email to Otterbox about it, it seems some Otterboxes work with air gestures and some don't... Hopefully I'll hear from Otterbox on Tuesday.
Edit: Just heard from otterbox requesting pictures for a warranty replacement I'll make a new post to the thread when I get a warranty replacement and let y'all know if it fixes it.
New otterbox same issue and I see no way to fix it other than switching cases so im on a seidio convert now.
All working for me with OtterBox Defender Black without built-in screen protector
Just adding my two cents. Black s4, black/yellow defender. Works just fine.

Same one I have. Phone and Defender and I have not had any issues. Even tried the answer by moving my hand across the screen and that works.
Black S4, black defender case - gestures don't work for me either.
My air gestures work. Defender.
Has anyone removed the sleep/wake magnet from the Moko case yet? I just got mine in the mail and want to remove it but it seems pretty well integrated. I found where it is but can't tell if it runs along the whole length of the left side of the cover

It's only one small magnet, the size of an eraser. It's underneath the elastic handle. Rub your fingernail over the area and you'll slowly find a circular outline. Took 30 seconds to remove!
Sorry, I actually have the other moko case without the hand strap. The faux leather smart cover that looks similar to the poetic slim case. I found the sleep/wake magnets over the middle left side of the screen and removed them but the cover still sleep/wakes my screen. Don't understand how and why unless I missed some magnets
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda app-developers app
drag a magnet over the case and you should be able to find it.
may i ask why you want to remove it? the only tablet I've used that has a functional sleep cover has been my nook hd+. ipad and gn10.1 would have unusual drain when using it. my 500t has issues with waking up from sleep (all atom wintabs seem to) so i got rid of that magnet. never did get a case with a magnet for my 700t.

There are a number of threads on various forums concerning the Note 8 screen becoming dead to tactile input where the magnetic field of the cover is located. Interestingly, this has been noticed with the official Samsung book cover case.
What I have found using a Poetic case that has a metal (but not magnetic) clasp to keep the cover in the closed position activates the Note 8's sleep and wakeup modes just fine.

Can someone kindly point me to some of the threads discussing this? I did a Google search and only find where the magnets mess with the compass and S-pen in certain cases.
I've used the moko with s pen for over a couple of weeks and have noticed nothing. I've even scribbled all over the pad.....nothing. Great value.

Me, too. Almost a month, and I haven't had any problems yet.
i've got a poetic and haven't had any problems...yet.
I currently have the original flip case by samsung, which I like quite a bit but im a bit bored with it. Is there any other brand flip case that supports the wake up and special edge features, but that also has a built in stand? Maybe more color options? Maybe epically cool looking like the UAG flip covers for the note 4?
http://www.amazon.com/Verus-Kicksta...ge+folio&pebp=1421888396475&peasin=B00Q5W0Z98
I'm going to get that one. Not sure if it has the built in magnet. Checked through the reviews, nobody seems to mention whether it DOES, or DOESNT unlock the device upon opening. I assume that means it works as expected. However the folio "kickstand" feature is more important to me than automatically unlocking. Gravity Screen can remedy that. I'll post back here when it comes in though if you prefer someone to verify.
:3
It seems that it protects the phone against drops. Thats a lot more then the OEM Samsung does
Sent from my SM-N915FY using XDA Free mobile app
I would appreciate if you post back when you do know. I actually really like the quality build of my samsung flip case. I probably wouldnt have any complaints if it had color choices and a built in stand.
Have you ever dropped it with the Samsung case?
Yes, just twice. Nothing happened
a friend had a non oem magnet flip case and the magnet damaged the screen over its overlap. don't be fooled... very common with non-OEM magnet cases; it was a big problem with the Note 3. Keep an eye on your screen.... just saying.......
Thanks for the warning. Verus makes the one posted. Every Edge case they make is highly rated, so I has faith. Is on the way, so I'll let you know soon.
UPDATE: Damn.
http://www.amazon.com/anyone-screen...UTF8&asin=B00Q5W0Z98&cdItems=25&store=generic
It's too late to cancel. Honestly I find the built in stand feature more useful than the auto shutoff. Screebl or Gravity Screen will do the job for me. I guess on days when I wont be working/playing on my phone I'll use the Samsung case to minimize screen time/eliminate need for sensors to be on. Can never have too many cases, right?
Just got mine today. Very nice materials. Very pleased.

Would be interested to know if the case blocks the speaker on the phone or it routes the sound toward you. It looks like it could be routing the sound from the speak to the 2 holes at the bottom.

It seem that parts of the case are metal(aluminum?) and I hope this case won't make cell reception even weaker than it already is.

I may order when someone else serves as the test subject.
I'll stay tuned to see how other folks like it.
I ordered this case and immediately had horrible signal issues. I've e-mailed the seller asking if there's a solution. It's too bad to use as a phone, though wifi was not blocked at all. Normally I have strong LTE in my house but it's unusable with the case on.
Marvel should sue them for stealing Spiderman design (j/k). Only if this case had a belt clip, I'd bite. I want someone to make a case with a clip!

to each their own... but gawd, that's ugly.
I bought it when it first went up, before their description made it clear it was steel, I was hoping for a thin metal slip. The case is heavy as hell, and the built in screen protector traps pocket lint between the screen protector and screen. The case is held on with 6 hex screws, which worked, but made it even heavier.
It did muffle sound a little, as to radio...I'm just switching to Ting with GSM from Sprint with my phone. I was worried for a bit that my phone was the issue, but a girl who has a galaxy phone has all the same signal issues I did on Sprint. I'll let you know of mine is better, and how GSM is impacted by the case later.

I should also mention, like the Tudia, it made my side access worse. I use Lucid launcher specifically for the left side slide out favorite apps, these were really hard to activate on both this case, and the Tudia. I also use a pie fromthe right side, this was similarly hard to trigger, but at least I could customize the trigger width to accommodate the massive bearth.
Here is another new case on Amazon.

That doesn't look like a quality case to me. The back looks like plastic. But there aren't a lot of cases compatible with the 360 Camera so if you want specifically to use that feature it's probably worth taking the chance since the case is so cheap. But if you don't care about the 360 Camera there are clearly way better choices.

I bought it.
It actually isn't cheap feeling.
Soft touch.
Pretty heavy.
Secures on the phone pretty well.
Looks like it will protect the phone in a drop.
It does add bulk.
The flip down for the camera is pretty cool.
The opening on the back for the camera is large since the case is so deep.
The fingerprint sensor hole is also large because they made it to clear the camera opening without leaving a small piece of TPU inside.
Overall I like it for the ~$10 I paid.
It is either this or naked.
I bought it as well.
Doesn't feel cheap to me.
Adds a decent amount of bulk to the phone but not too much.
The flip down feels pretty sturdy and hopefully it won't loosen over time.
It has a nice feel to it. Soft but not slick. Sort of rubberized.
I've been using the first Tudia case that came out for this phone for awhile now and it's fine most of the time. But when I do use the 360 lens it is a hassle. Having to peel the case off. Hopefully this fixes that problem.

I tried it yesterday and the flip down works fine.
It's a bit stiff to latch and unlatch, but it does solve the 360 camera issue.
No more case removal! It also means that those screen protectors that glue around the edges will bel see likely to lift.
I still haven't decided if I want to use LOCA to attach a screen protector to my phone.
