Case modification for rear speaker - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

Not sure how many people use a case here but i noticed when looking around that they all have a very common flaw.
If it is placed on a flat surface, case creates a seal around the speaker. Can barely hear it. So i modded it
here is what i did, I took a lighter to soften up the case, then i pushed the top of the hole up so what it does not seal when you put it on flat surface.

To be 100% honest, I like that if I put it flat on my desk I can essentially mute my device and not have to turn the volume down. I think it is nice. Just have to be careful to not set it face up when expecting an important phone call

I noticed my spigen has a little bump in the back of the case now i know what its for! Its got 2 slits for the speaker and the piece of plastic between the 2 slits is where the bump is, Wow spigen slim armor was a good choice lol

[Q] Discoloration from leather pouch.

I purchased this leather pouch some time ago and didn't use it for longer periods until a couple of days ago. When I finally turned over the phone at the end of the day I noticed discolorations on the rubbery parts of the back cover and the inside lining of the pouch had creases along the lines on the back cover. Any ideas on how to get rid of the discoloration?
I've contacted INNOV8 GB Ltd and they were kind enough to offer a refund or pay for the cost of any cleaning solution. But the damage is done and I'm going to keep the pouch. I've also washed the inside of the pouch with hand soap which got quite a lot of the dye out so I don't think it'll cause more discoloration.
The flashlight makes the marks look fainter than they really are.

are the discolorations ruboffs from the backcover itself? or residues from the case?
Residues from the pouch.

Yet another TPU Case for the Sensation

Hi guys,
Just sharing some pics and a mini review of this case I bought off ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-TPU-S...787545?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19ca929959
It fits really well, but the cut outs are a little off. The ones for the flash LEDs, camera, speaker and usb are perfect though.
Power and volume buttons are covered. Power button feels mushy to press, but the volume buttons are fine. Case fit is reasonably tight but you can still wiggle the sides of the case. But at USD1.99, can't complain.
The diamond pattern at the back of the case helps a lot with grip too.
Here are some poorly taken pictures.

The problem I have with most cases is that it lowers my wifi reception. Mine isn't terrible, but I definitely am losing some signal strength with my TPU case. A partial solution for me was to drill the top holes larger, but I still see about a 10db difference with the case on and with only my zagg shield.

TPU S-Line wave gel case with kick stand

Hey just recently got this case, been using it for about two days, I purchased it from ebay for < $10, and as expected it's basically a TPU gel case except it's got a stand.
It's obviously raised a bit on the back in the middle for the kickstand, and I've gotten used to the bump on the back already, it's nice to use as a desk clock for those who haven't got a Orb charger yet, viewing angles are good and as expected will only work in landscape. The stand does 'feel' a bit cheap but has been holding up well (see what I did there??? ).
Using the phone while the kickstand is out doesn't seem to be a problem, it moves a little if you press too hard, but I've been able to gesture type SMS and while it's sitting on my desk.
Few pictures:

You can see the nice Nexus logo albeit a little cut off on the S.

Check out the Otterbox Style Case for Samsung S6 i got from amazon

When I ordered this I honestly expected a really frail plastic case and clip that crack really easy but I couldn't have been more wrong. The case is made of a flexible case that reminds me of an otterbox case that I used to have on my old phone. No part of the phone is left un-protected. I really liked the piece on the back that you can turn and it props your phone up so that you can watch things on it instead of having to hold the phone the whole time. Also it was really easy to get in and out of the clip. With other cases I have had in the past it is a battle every time you need to get the phone in and out of the case. I would highly recommend this case and clip because
1.) all of the phone is protected
2.) it is made of a flexible plastic
3.) it has a piece you can turn to use it as a stand
4.) its easy to get the phone in and out
Everyone that has an S6 should try this case. It is the most protective and functional phone case and clip I have every had.

Review on Vostrostone Ultra-thin PC Hard Case Cover

After trying all the other slim hard cases that were available on Amazon. I finally found, the one I like the most. I should say, Vostrostone Ultra-thin PC Hard Case Cover are the best so far. They add no bulk what so ever and sometimes, I even forget the fact that I have the case on my phone. Fits tight and does not feel like its going to fall off the phone anytime. As with any minimalist case, this does not provide all around protection but the lip is raised on the glass that might protect incase your phone falls face down. Since, I baby my phones, I dont think that should be an issue for me.
It has all the perfect cutouts for all the ports, along with the camera, Mic and sensors in the back.
If you still looking for one: I would say, take the plunge you will not regret.
