Seidio Active X Case Black Review UPDATED - 50+ pics

Will be doing a thorough review on the Seidio Active X Case, including some tests for durability. Pictures will be included.
Providing the Basics today along with a few photos, will run the case through a series of test for durability and use this weekend. More pictures to come!
My apologies if a couple pics don't look so great Camera was giving me issues.
Intro:
Well Just received the Seidio Active X case today and I have to say I was surprised. You are provided with three pieces. Outer Screen protector, a rubber back skin, and then a Plastic Skeleton to go over the rubber back piece. Installation was breeze and this case is easier to remove due to the design of the Plastic Skeleton. Outer Screen protector is pretty simple to remove but having finger nails will benefit greatly! Another thing to note: Since the Skeleton is a separate piece, changing colors will be simple ( if you wanted to could even paint it! ). Sliding Mechanism was not affected at all.

Design:
Outer Screen protector
Outer Screen Protection Piece does have a taller lip and it is a little thicker but feels strong. With the taller lip I didn't find any affect or issues with comfort on the use of the screen or buttons. The finish is smooth with a rubbery feel, and yes you may find that one or two little bumps within the finish - (If you really want to remove the bumps in the finish then use 1500 or 2000 wet sand paper and very Lightly go over the bumps. Make sure to wet the paper - this will allow you to keep the finish). The tabs are located on both the top and bottom of the piece and sectioned in the middle ( view pictures above ). -- This is nice since the most common issue with cases is scratching or restriction due to the tabs being placed on each side.
Rubber Skin:
IMO - I love this! Provides protection for the phone without the possibility of the case scratching the phone itself. Both the Power and Volume buttons are covered but fit the form of the phone and require the same amount of pressure to be pushed. As for the cut outs - Match perfect- Mic, USB, Headphone, Camera, and LED, and if by chance yours does not you can also trim whatever excess you need to since its rubber.
Back Skeleton:
The back Skeleton has a very smooth finish with no bump in sight. The skeleton itself is very sturdy along with the clips located on each corner. Now the design was to set for most common point of Impact. On any phone there are 6 points - Top Left and Right Corner - Bottom Left and Right Corner - Left Side - Right Side. The Skeleton was designed around these 6 points of impact along with using the rubber skin interior as a shock absorber. The skeleton Case Wraps around on each point which in truth allows for a sturdier construction due to each point of impact being supported both by form and curvature.
I will provide pics of the phone within the case once the Camera is charged.

If you can assure me that this product 1. Does not look as rough around the edges as in the pictures on the website 2. Allows me full functionality of the keyboard (slides open *duh*, doesn't hinder ability to use top row number buttons) 3. Is durable and well made enough to justify spending $29.95 on a case, then I will glady purchase it. Question: Is there any way you could get pictures different angles of the case for example the top and bottom with keyboard open/closed, I am seriously interested as long as I can have some good information to go off of.

I thought i was he only one that notced it was looking a little rough on the website.. i hope a company like seido wouldn't release a product looking like that..

Any information any user provided I sent off to seidio for development of the active x case that way they can attempt a perfect case. I'm not sure but I think the color plate is switchable which would be a nice option.

Sadly ALL of the Active cases are like that.
On the Nexus and Evo active cases, the rubber has lots of extra bits, and the ports aren't perfectly cut.
On the Evo, the plastic shell doesn't fit perfectly around the rubber skin, and has a bit of a gap.
You can take a exacto blade and remove the uneven edges if you want.

That's disappointing to hear, how could they expect me to pay that amount for such bad quality? When we get some detailed pictures I will have a better idea of the quality, but until then all indicators point to a poor quality product.

Seidio is currently the best quality case out there for the epic but it ISN'T any OtterBox or even CaseMate.
The plastic exoshell on my friends Evo has been shedding since she purchased it. Little bits of plastic come off the shell just from having it in her pocket.
Seidio is not worth the price of the product, quality wise. But when there is literally nothing else on the market, what else can ya do?

That's the problem, is that there are no other options besides the Seidio case. Still waiting on those pictures though...

how easy is the back part to remove?

Not hard at all, just grab a corner and pull away slightly and should come right off.

Still not sure I can justify paying $30 for a case vs. $2 I paid for my ebay one. I'm sure quality is very different, but I feel like the level of protection I get from my ebay one (which I guess we are referring to as the "bar" kind from that other review) is adequate enough. It feels good in the hands too. I'll wait to see pics of this when you have everything fully assembled. I'm wondering how thick it gets with 3 pieces.

Updated More pics

How much more thickness does it add. Is it still pocketable? obviously it'll be thicker but pictures and actual hands on is always a differant story. Thanks!

I want to know does it fits in the media dock?

Just a tad thicker really, add maybe 1mm if that IMO. Fits in the pocket no issue at all, and the case finger groves are perfect, ambidextrous. Also the lip around the Face Protection of the case has more depth.

Review/Pics: Skinomi carbon fiber skin, tab & dock

Got my Skinomi skins today and after applying I have to say I'm impressed. I was eager to see if it would fit in the dock with it on too, and it does. It's just a little tight but it does fit fine.
When the skin arrives it comes shipped in a tube, since it's rolled up in the tube the ends of the skin want to peel up. If it was rolled the other way it would of been much better. After learning from the tablet skin I re-rolled the dock skin the other way and put it back in the tube for 30 minutes or so and that helped.
My advice when putting the skin on is to only use the application fluid on the large main skin parts (top for the tab and bottom for the dock), and be sure NOT to get any fluid on the small edging/side parts of the skin. Once the main back part is on, bubble free and aligned it will be easy to stick down the sides if there's no fluid on them. In my case I put the fluid all over and the smaller side parts kept peeling themselves up and it took a lot of holding down till they were stuck (the whole process took me about an hour for the tablet).
Lesson learned, on the dock skin I only used a small amount of fluid on the main bottom part and none on the little parts and it was a much faster process. Using a hair dryer will aide in the drying time and also makes the skin more malleable so it doesn't want to peel itself back.
The tablet skin comes with a clear screen protector that I'm not using. I use an anti-glare screen protector (3 pack available on Amazon for $14.95) and I like this set up a lot. A few other reviews for this skin said because the clear screen protector is a bit sticky when you close the tab the screen sticks to the skin on the dock and it cause bubbles in the screen. With the very non-sticky screen protector I have, this isn't an issue.
All-in-all I'm impressed with the skin. It's a very tough vinyl, has a great texture to it (actually feels like carbon fiber and makes for a nice feel in the hand) and provides good coverage on almost all of the tablet and dock.
The only down side is the set up (especially if you use a different screen protector) is a little pricy... But, if you want to protect your tablet and dock while making the setup look bad @ss this is the way to go!!
UPDATE: A small part of the corner of the skin (a very thin strip that covers the corner on the top of the tablet) came off, was torn by the case. I contacted Skinomi as the skin has a lifetime warranty and they're sending me a whole new skin for free. Prompt customer service too. Good company...

This would do absolutely nothing in the event of a drop!! lol. But, I don't like to always have my tablet in a case and this will help prevent scratches when I'm using it around the house out of the case (sometimes I take the tablet with me while it's docked too and I only have a neoprene case for this, this skin helps once I pull out the tablet in this situation). Great scratch protection, no protection for drops... And it looks cool, and feels cool, and is cool

lol ugh maybe you can help me decide between this skin and these 2

I have a case very similar to the Poetic case (2nd link) although it doesn't rotate. I didn't need to rotate the screen as I rarely use it in portrait mode and wanted as slim a case as I could get. I got the Blurex Slim Folio Case on Amazon for $21.99 and I think it's a great case! Slim, good fit, and I think it provides about as much protection as you can get with a case of this nature.
I actually have the 1st case you linked to on order, it will be here tomorrow. Not so sure about it but I guess I'll find out tomorrow. I'll update this reply once it gets in!
UPDATE: Got the Poetic Tablet/Dock case today and I like it. It does add a LOT of thickness to the whole setup but it provides good coverage and I like the little pockets for business cards and other notes. It also has two pen holders (good for styli). Looks professional too. If you don't mind a thick setup I'd recommend this case!

Thanks for the review. After debating for some time, I ended up ordering the brushed steel one. I hope it looks decent

How does it feel when holding the tablet(without the dock)? Does it feel like it might peel where you hold it on the edges?

ACTUALLY....it will do alot of good in a drop. The innitial impact won't be saved, however when you drop something it usually bounces and/or slides. The full skins will mitigate most of the damage from all the scuffs, dings, and scratches that come after the initial impact. I dropped my Galaxy Note and the corner has a pretty good ding, but the skin was skuffed to hell and looked like ****. I was ticked that my phone looked like it was worn as a shoe down a gravel road. I peeled the skin off and was taken back at the fact that there wasnt a single mark on it other then the corner where it landed. I immediately ordered a new skin from ArmorSuit telling them it saved my phone, they refunded the purchase I just made and sent me one for free telling me they were glad it worked and the lifetime warranty covered it. The only reason my tf700 doesnt have a full skin yet is because I use the rooCase snap on that is a little too tight. Full skins pay you back exponentially when the day comes to sell it and you peel it off to see nearly brand new device.

Does the skin cover the sharp edges of the tab next to the bezel ? I can't really find out from the pics I've seen.
I find the tab quite uncomfortable to hold for a long while because of those rather nasty edges...
Thanks.

My Skinomi Clear Skin arrived today but I'm not going to install it yet. I'm going to send my tablet for repair or swap for new unit because of bad quality on glass/screen installation on lower left corner...

It doesn't feel like it will peel but the edges are just a little rough. I don't find it to be a big deal and now that I've had it on for a day I've come to really, really like it. Feels solid and is very "grippy".

It doesn't cover the sharp sides around the bezel, doesn't quite reach around far enough.

Do they sell the skin for the dock alone. I already have a zagg shield for the tablet.

They do, link is in the review but here it is again: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ZPPDFG/
Right now you can only buy them separately. I have the TF201 dock, not sure if the TF700 will be any different size wise once it's released (doubt it).

I just ordered this based on your review, thanks, though shipping could take a while. How is the bundled screen protector? I had skinomi on my atrix, and was impressed, but that wasn't a high res screen, so any blur was unnoticeable. Is it a good clear cover, or does brightness and clarity take a hit? Thanks

wow these are beautiful skins...but god damn cant get them shipped to canada!!! grrrrrrrrrr we always have to be left out

I just ordered a tf201 skinomi dock skin in clear for my tf700 dock on ebay. Skinomi sells them on ebay $16. Anybody have a Zagg screen saver and a dock. How does the Zagg fit? Does it look like it will peel off the Zagg over time. I have the Zagg here waiting for my replacement to arrive and wondering if I should cut a section out where the dock's padding touches the screen. The last thing I want is for the cushions to peel off.
update
I installed the tf201 dock skinomi cover and it fit fine. Its a pain in the neck to get it right though. seems thinner then the Zagg.

I installed the brushed steel one today on my TF700 and it looks stunning (it even have textured feel to it). The installation was painless and took only few minutes. I have not yet installed it on the dock (dock is still sealed) but from the various cutouts, it look like it will be trickier to install than the tablet.
On the other hand, I did not like the screen protector that came with it. It was pain to align correctly and even after taking out all water from underneath, it still has a lot of water streaks. According to the instructions, they are supposed to go away after couple of days so I will wait and see. My recent experience with another wet application screen protector was ArmourSuit for Nexus 7 and it was a breeze to install and it was completely clear within few minutes.

Installed the dock screen yesterday and I still have micro bubbles. Not as much as I had yesterday but still have them non the less. No biggie. Its definitely attaches alot quicker than Zagg. I tell you what, I'm happy I don't have to do it again lol.

The dock is actually easier. The part I found hard was the small parts of the tablet skin on the side/top/bottom kept wanting to peel themselves back and it took a lot of holding it in place while drying. The dock I would only use a small amount of the fluid on the main piece and just stick on all the small pieces, it's easy and nothing wants to peel itself back.

I don't plan on using the screen protector, don't like the feel of it and I prefer anti-glare. I used a similar one on my Xoom and it took almost a week for the streaks to clear and even then it didn't look very good. I also read another review that said the screen protector will stick to the skin on the dock and cause bubbles to form. The anti-glare screen protector I use isn't sticky at all and I don't have this issue (Poetic anti-glare screen protectors - 3 pack, $14.95 on Amazon)

Skyrocket Defender Series Case Review!

Hey guys I just received my Skyrocket Defend case! Right when I got the package that was shipped out to me, I tore open the box to find the most beautiful case ever!!
Things I love about this case:
1. Sturdy
2. Built in screen protector
3. Belt clip, very useful for me since I drive a Ninja 650R around Fort Worth so I just clip it on my vest and connect my head phones to it and im good!
4. Outter gives out a free 1 year guarantee replacement with your purchase.
5. you can use the belt clip as a freaking stand so you can watch videos or whatever on a flat surface!
Things I dont like:
1. Freaking huge! I wear slim straight legged pants so its a little hard to get it in and out some times, its not that bad though.
2. The belt clip dose not seem that sturdy, there was times I thought it would fly off my vest, or off my belt lol. One time I got out of my 370z and it got caught on the seat belt and it fell off :/
3. The built in screen protector smudges easily, and can be blurry, or reflect a lot of light for me.
In all I have loved this case! it was a $50 price tag but honestly it was worth it! I recommended getting this case! :good::good::good:
If any of you guys have this case what do you think about it?

I love my Defender, but stopped using it because it was just too bulky for everyday use. There are two key problems with the Defender, aside from its size. One is the built-in screen protector. It blurs the image slightly and desensitizes the touchscreen, but more importantly, it actually traps dirt and dust beneath it, which could potentially scratch your screen. The built-in screen protector will lift any adhered protector right off. Fortunately, this is easy to solve, as the built-in screen protector comes right off with minimal effort.
Second, and a bigger issue, is that the plastic inner shell can scratch and damage your phone. There's no way around this, and it's a risk you take by using the Defender instead of a case with soft material hugging the phone and plastic outside.
The third issue for me was heat--the Defender was not allowing sufficient heat to escape, and my phone was constantly running hotter than it needed to. This eventually has an adverse effect on battery life, maybe even the phone itself. Taking the built-in screen protector off will probably help out tremendously here.
Also, $50? You can get them for $30 off of Amazon easily.
It's not something that I foresee myself using on a daily, even near-daily basis by any means, but it does have its uses. It's about as indestructible as cases come, and that's saying something. But as a casual daily case, it's too big and bulky. I'll use my silicone/plastic hybrid or a TPU for that.

I see what you mean, so if I wanted a real screen protector do you think I should take this one off and buy a real one to put with this case?
Thank you very much for you opinion, I wanted to hear from someone who has good experience with it and you nailed it!

Yep, either pop the built-in screen protector out or cut it with a razor blade/x-acto knife. Have an adhesive screen protector (a high-quality one, like an Invisible Shield) put on, then let it cure for 24 hours before putting the Defender on. You should be set.

I see! Well thanks a lot! The size is no problem with me, and I have not yet seen any temp change with this on my phone (YET)

I've had my Defender since January. I have the same problems as previously mentioned. I always have to take it out of the case, and clean the case and the screen.
I've had problems with the rubber part coming off of the edges; it just doesn't hug the plastic as well as it did out of the box. I've also had 2 of the clips break. They appear to be pretty fragile, so it may have been from a drop. I'm considering contacting Otterbox and attempting to get a replacement. I've heard they have great customer service.
But regardless of all that, it still protects my phone. I'm almost certain that if it wasn't for this case, I would have a cracked screen, instead of a damaged case. And although this case is rather large, I would rather have a working protected phone, than a sleek broke one.

Couldent put it any better! I'm not clumsy with my phone, but when I do drop it I want to make sure its not gonna break.
I also heard they have really good service, at least I know I will have protection for a year. I'm sure I will have a note 2 or a S3 by then

Just wait, on the top, where the headphone jack is, those two plastic pieces will rub on the phone and will actually start making grooves in the trim of your phone, like it did on mine. I was very upset by this, as well as the fact that it ended up scratching my screen from the debris that would get caught behind the built in screen protector. I found that this case actually damaged my phone more than it protected it. I hate it! Due to the negative experience i had with this case, I will never buy an Otterbox case again. Instead, I'm using a fishbone case that I got for 7.99 on amazon. i've used it for quite a few months now and have not had a single problem or complaint. it's the best case i've ever used. It fully protects my device because it has soft silicone on the interior and hard plastic on the exterior in the places that matter, like the corners.

I do find it interesting how polarizing the Defender is. It's the Juice Defender of cases--everyone either loves it or hates it. You don't really see that reaction about any other case.

Just wait, on the top, where the headphone jack is, those two plastic pieces will rub on the phone and will actually start making grooves in the trim of your phone, like it did on mine. I was very upset by this, as well as the fact that it ended up scratching my screen from the debris that would get caught behind the built in screen protector. I found that this case actually damaged my phone more than it protected it. I hate it! Due to the negative experience i had with this case, I will never buy an Otterbox case again.

Lol oh I see, ehh well I'm not go bothered by that lol

might as well my 2 cents...ive had the otterbox defender for a few months now and so far i like it. I also have a commuter but needed a a case with a holster. I like the fact that I can use it as a stand but yout have to turn it upside down to use it...also the latch that holds the clip I have cracked already. also the corners are slightly flared where i have removed it only maybe once or twice...its the same on my commuter where its slighly stretched...other than that I love my case...since i bought it off amazon i may have to see about getting it exchanged thru otterbox.

How big is the phone with the case?

And its pretty big, but to me its the perfect size, fits well in my hand and snug in my pocket. There is pictures in the OP of the phone in the case.
Edit: I also wanted to say that I did take off the built in screen protector, it drove me crazy after a while. I went out and bought a really nice protector and works perfectly with the case.

[User Review] MyBat Tuff Hybrid protector case

Aloha!
So i've looked and searched, but there doesn't seem to be any reviews of this case for the Google Nexus 4 (LG e960).
I've also had experiences in the past with MyBat cell phone cases, Both good and bad.
So let's get started. I'll try to give you as complete a review as possible.
Where to get it:
http://www.mybat.com/Product/TUFF_Hybrid_Protector_Covers-17-288-0.html
I got mine from: Cell Pro (California, US) via E-Bay: http://www.ebay.com/sch/cellpro/m.html?_nkw=&_armrs=1&_from=&_ipg=25&_trksid=p3686
(Free shipping, to Hawaii and it got here in TWO (2) days!!!)
This one in particular is called: LG Nexus 4 E960 Hybrid Hard Case Silicone Cover Black / White Skin TUFF
Review scoring:
Material -- 8.0/10 - Hard plastic parts of the case didn't feel flimsy and withstood initial installation, removal and re-installation (for the purposes of getting good pictures) without any tabs breaking. The soft ?silicone? rubber inner sleeve was also installed, removed and re-installed without incident, although i will say that the top and bottom portions of it did feel a little thin when slipping the phone into the sleeve.
Grip -- 7.5/10 - As you all know, the Nexus 4 is a pretty slippery phone after a few hours of use, due to oils from your hands getting on it, This case improves that condition considerably, and the slightly raised buttons and ribs make it a lot easier to hang on to. It still slipped in my hands but grip was regained when my fingers caught on the raised soft ?silicone? on the sides of the case/phone.
Buttons: Ease of Use -- 8.5/10 -- Ease for button - Remarkably the button feel/feedback is improved since you have more of a button to push, no longer mostly flush with the side of the phones body.
Fit / Finish -- 9.0/10 -- Snug fit/Hole openings - The cut outs are actually pretty good for a $9.00 case. No real 'seams' or molding artifacts to be seen. All the holes lined up with little attention to "making them line up". The soft ?silicone? rubber fits like a comfy glove over the phone, and after the hard shell is installed, only the top and bottom forward facing sections can be lifted, but it is not loose or 'easily' pulled away from the phone either. In my opinion, it's a fairly snug fit. There is no 'gaps' of significant concern after the hard plastic shell pieces are installed. (no more than you'd expect for a $9.00 case anyway ... )
Appearance / Style - Kinda subjective, but imo it makes it look like a i-Phone 5 (lol) -- [[ http://www.tekbeattv.com/review/mybat-tuff-hybrid-case-review-for-the-iphone-5/ ]]
Protection -- 7.0/10 - This case feels like it'd do a pretty good job protecting the phone from most everyday hazards. raised lip to protect the front screen and completely covers the rest of the phone in about 1/8" of
Price/Value -- 9/10 - My reason is simple. Its a $9.00 case, that realistically offers really good protection for the 'everyday' perils of owning/using this phone (Nexus 4).
Pros: Adds pretty decent protection against the everyday perils, I wouldn't suggest it would survive 500ft drops though. Really inexpensive, Good Fit/Finish. Raised lip around the front screen protects the screen and does not lift or cause any problems with my T-Mobile screen protector.
Cons: While also a "benefit", the raised lip of the case interferes with using my current favorite ROM (Paranoid Android 2.99 Beta NINE.9+ PIE). Since the lip is raised and very close to the edge of the screen it's more difficult to activate the "PIE" than without the case. It also adds a fair amount of width / thickness to the phone, (I estimate around 1/4" (1/8" all around)). It also loses it's "sexy" curvy feel, for a more square-ish feel (ala i-Phone 5-ish)

Not sure what you're asking for here. Do you want a pic of the phone with the display on? trying to see how much of a lip it has?

Here's some pix of the raised lip around the front screen:
Hope that helps.

Looks pretty durable

Comparison measurements for those concerned about increased bulk (which is inevitable on this type of case)
Stock measurements: 5.27 x 2.70 x 0.36 in
(quoted from: http://www.gsmarena.com/lg_nexus_4_e960-5048.php)
After case installed measurements: 5.5625 x 2.8750 x 0.5625 in
(no where near "100% accurate" but as measured by my measuring tape .... )
(5 9/16" x 2 7/8" x 9/16")

Very nice review, thanks! Would you say that the silicone on top and bottom is thick enough to offer good protection from regular drops? I am also owning this case http://www.ebay.com/itm/FULL-BLACK-...ccessories&hash=item51a60af104#ht_2077wt_1372 and it did not really impress me, silicone is very thin and it even slipped off the phone while in my pocket.

Aloha Lownita,
Yes, while i can't say "how much of a drop the top and bottom can handle", i think it offers pretty good protection with about 5/32" of silicone rubber at the top and bottom of the phone (estimated by 1/2-ing the increased height of the phone with this case on), and i'd estimate a bit more at the corners (which is what makes the phone look more square unfortunately for those that love the aesthetics of the natural design of the phone)
I have carried this phone/case combination in my jeans pocket and tried taking it out of my pocket while sitting in the car. The case/rubber does not come off. (and I don't wear really baggy jeans).
Overall, I'm happy with the case. aside from the cons i listed in my review, i haven't had any other complaints come up while using it.
I'll probably do a short / long term update on this case over the next few months.
Enjoy! and if you get it, i hope you enjoy it's protection as much as i am.

I have the white black version if this case. I really like it but I am still having issues with proximity sensor while on call. You having any issues?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium

Proximity sensor, hrm I've taken calls and the screen goes blank, but i think i might have seen it where when i moved the phone away from my ear, it didn't wake the display? maybe? Is that what you're referring to? i've only had that happen once. and have used the phone for multiple calls.

yeah i have to be in a brightly lit room for the screen to come on while i'm making a call. I thought it might be a rom/kernel issue, but it seems to work right after I take off the hard plastic cover. otherwise, this is a really nice case.

I have the solid black version of this case as well. I have had no proximity sensor issues so far.
I've had this now for ~2 weeks. So far, so good! That said, I don't use this as my daily case as it's too bulky. This is my "I'm going to the gym" or "I'm doing something rough outside" case.
I agree with pretty much the entire review. As far as how good the protection is, I don't think I can say there is another case available that will protect your phone better than this case. Sure, the protection can be increased, but I'm unaware of any case that accomplishes this for our Nexus 4.

Okay.. well... get into work today, and not 1 hour into the day and my phone took it's first tumble. Only about a foot and a half or so, directly onto the NOC raised floor. Short distance, and not a rough outdoor street or sidewalk but the case did it's job. it bounced once or twice and landed flat, screen side down. no scuffs or damage to the case.
:lol: not much of fall but certainly doing what i predicted it would do. Protect the phone from every day mishaps.

That's exactly what I wanted to hear

FYI, one more piece of info that might be important to some about this case:
I *am* able to charge my phone on my LG WCP-700 Qi charger, but it must be in the absolute perfect spot! It can't move even 1 mm, it seems! Take the back hard cover off, and you then get a little bit of play. Some other Qi chargers have even less of an available area of play with our Nexus 4s in general, so I'd assume they wouldn't even work with this case. Ultimately, YMMV but I'd go with the assumption that you can't charge wirelessly with this case. Larger USB cables will fit in the gap with this case just fine, though (a problem with some cases).

Just a quick question, does the case interfere with NFC operation in any way?
Cheers,

I haven't tried yet but based on the effect reported when using qi charger I'd say it 'might' interfere especially if the other phone also has a case.
Time will tell on this issue as more people get this phone and use it to its fullest capabilities

Update:
Tried NFC transfer today with a buddy of mine and his SGSIII, works fine. his was in case, and mine in this case. NFC detection and file transfer (3mb) worked great.

Hey guys. . .New to the Forums!
Just picked up a N4 from T-Mo, and this thread just made my decision for this case, especially when I'm not going to wait for Otterbox to start or evermake a case for this. As well as some of the posts bout NFC working with this case. . . .
Just curious if there would be any issues with a glass screen (like the Clarivue HD Glass) with this case. Or a best screen protector that will cover most of the glass (cutouts for sensor and camera) without interfering with the sensitivity and screen resolution while using this case. . Like Zagg/GhostArmor or similar thick screen protectors

is there a 'grippier' replacement battery cover (not case!)

Hi.
I'm liking the s4 quite a lot (after uninstalling almost every samsung app)
I'm impressed with the hardware, but there's one thing that bothers me.
I don't like that the battery cover is so smooth, I feel that I will drop my phone any day now.
So, if I don't want to use a case or cover for my phone (don't like the added bulk, even the smallest case bothers me). Is there a replacement battery cover that has a rubberized or textured back that is less slippery that the original?
I really liked my old phones (nexus one and galaxy nexus) the feeling in the hand was a lot more secure because of the rubbery back.
So far I only found a metal battery cover, and cases... lots of cases... I just want more grip, not bulk added to my phone.

I really don't care much for carbon fiber look. something with a soft matte coating like the Ringke would be amazing!

I saw it awhile ago on another forum and it seemed to hold up well for them. I've never done it though. If you want to give it a try here are some instructions: (here's a link but all the pictures are down; here
1. Just clean the back of the phone with any ammonia free cleaner - Invisible glass in my case.
2. Buff it dry with any lint free towel (dont want threads in the final product)
3. Find a suitable spot to spray - a cardboard box should do the trick
4. Do 2-3 thick coats - and if you want the lettering to show allow the plastidip to dry between coats (10-15 min)

Aww, you beat me to it.
Pros: Select your own color, Peel it off when you get bored with it and change the color. Cons: Easily peels once it gets started so any nicks can mean having to redo it (thus not too pocket friendly).

To get plastidip to bond better rough up the batt cover a bit with some sand paper. That stuff is super strong and has a ton of different purposes. I use to use it to waterproof my ESCs on my rc trucks lol.

I didn't have any luck with plastidip on my s2 battery cover, at first, it felt and looked AMAZING, however, upon placing the phone in my pocket a couple of times (within a day or two), the rubber coating comes off first at the corners, then elsewhere.

Did you rough the door, with sand paper, prior to spraying, in order to help the Plastidip adhere?

Try a goo.ey skin, it's a sticky pad you put on the back of your phone, it allows you to stick the phone to windows and mirrors too, it also makes your phone a bit more grippy.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Gooey-skin-...=UTF8&qid=1431467151&sr=8-4&keywords=gooey+s4
and here is a promo video for it.
www.youtube.com/watch?v=BeAN5vwRZxY
It's not all that reliable sticking to surfaces (It's great if you keep washing it, but loses sticky if you don't), but I've had mine on my phone for 2 years now and it's never come off the phone it'self. It does add a tiny bit of depth to the phone, but it's only a tiny bit and it does make my phone more grippy.
Just an idea, and maybe worth a go for £6

I ordered the battery cover from the black edition s4. Its like on note 3. Grip is better and feels way superior in hand

Does this battery for fit in all cases / does it add anything to thickness or edge width?
Please provide more details and a link. Thanks!

I will post few pictures for a comparison on Saturday or Sunday.
I dont have this cover installed yet but I think it should fit all of the cases because I didnt notice any "black edition" cases being made separetly

OK. I recently found another 32GB MDK S4 on eBay. It came with several cheap cases, but also one of the "carbon fiber" looking battery doors. I don't know the source, but it is rubbery.
It has "Galaxy S4" inscribed, near the bottom.
The side edges are smooth and a bit slick, but the woven look area is quite tacky. I like it, a lot.
