Horizontal leather carrying case for Skinned G2x and White TPU skin

Horizontal leather carrying case for Skinned G2x
My 2 cents... this is definitely a cheap case at $2.40 - $4. (it costs more for shipping via USPS LOL )it seems well built and should hold any G2x that has a TPU or Silicone skin on it. Heck for this price it was worth the gamble... size wise and build quality.
It has elastic on the sides so it should fit a larger skin like the Speck candy shell or whatever they will finally make from Seidio With the TPU skin i bought (see below) it fits just right and needed no “break in” period.
A major plus for those who will ask.... “Does it activate the Car mode when you take it out?” the answer is NO but only if you put it in face first...face out will activate it....every time. I tested it without the skin i got just to make sure.... and if you have it face first...no car mode activation. yeah i know one of the most annoying conveniences..that ends up being very inconvenient. LOL

Leather Pouch Protective Carrying Cell Phone Case for Motorola DROID X Android Phone (Verizon Wireless) / Dell Venue Pro Aero AT&T / Samsung Continuum Galaxy S Verizon Focus AT&T - Black
by Reiko
================
White TPU skin-
My 2 cents...
It fits ok and is not too tight. easily slips on and off if you need a battery pull. Yeah i know it makes it look more Iphoneish...but i like the look of it and the white contrast very well with the black front. i live in South Florida and was looking for a white tpu skin to help reflect the Suns rays. i originally bought the Black “flex skin” from Tmobile, just to get something on it. lst Sat. at about 2pm (Sun at or almost the highest in the sky..so yes it was a hot time of the day) i was using my Gmaps with Nav and within 10 minutes (i am not exaggerating & i was running the A/C cold) i got a pop up saying something like “ battery to hot, shut down phone” (similar window you get when it says you have a 100% charge and too unplug phone) i did not hit ok, since i did not know where i was going.... so i just backed out of it and it seemed ok. I have used my N1 with Gmaps Nav about 75 times including long summer road trips about 4hrs at a time and it did get hot...but i have never seen that msg. before. Perhaps the N1 housing acted like a heat sink to deflect heat away from the device...where as most of the G2x is plastic.
Anyway, i am hoping the white case will help deflect some of the heat instead of absorb it, lke a black case would. I have only had it a few days, so we will see. Either way, it looks great. the “tread like”pattern of boxes makes it easy to grip. That one opening by the power button had me a little worried, but the the edges have a reinforced area so it would be very hard to drop it directly on that spot. All the opening s are fine. the Volume buttons, and power button are not covered like with most TPU skins. I fnd it much easier to use the volume and power button than the Tmo flex skin i had been using. No issues using micro usb or plugging in headset like i have heard compaints about the Speck Candyshell. However it does not have “super” drop protection other than that it fits well in the hand so it should not slip out too easily.

thanks for the suggestions. I have a silicone case on my g2x and I am looking for a leather case that I could put my phone in without being too snugged (I would even prefer it to be very loose, so it doesn't rub hardly against the silicone case). For the leather case you mentioned, does the phone with a TPU case fit loosely within? also is the audo jack accessible with the cover closed?
on a second note, Pdair makes good leather cases, but their cases fit very snugged. What I want to do is order a Pdair leather case made for phone bigger than the g2x, so the g2x can fit loosely into the case. any suggestions for a BIG smartphones? all i can think of is the HD2

The case fits just right. i do not have to force it in. But i think a silicone case would be a little bigger. But with the elastic there should be no issue. Like i said... I paid $2.41 plus $4.43 Shipping etc.. total $6.84. So worst case was that i am out what it would have cost me to eat a fast food lunch lol
You can access the audio jack, with a slight pull of the elastic. More like a nudge to the side. (with it facing inward.)
As far as a bigger case. i got this for my dads Droid X with a Seidio Innocase Active Hybrid Case on it. Although when he first got it it was very tight sliding it in..it is better now that it is broken in a little. But this is a very large case. i put my phone in it when i had the Flex skin from Tmo and it had about a half inch of room sideways. It actually moved in the case. I put the measurements in here as well so you can get a better idea of how big it actually is. This is something i would recommend for the HTC Sensation with a skin on it. Or maybe a very large/bulky skin case on a G2x. the case itself ws less than $10.

[Q] Case for extended battery

Hi, i been looking and i cant find a case that fits my Samsung infuse 4g on att, I Have a extended battery on my infuse - is there any case out there for this ?

Not yet. I had a nice leather case that I can no longer use thanks to the extended battery. However, I found that by purchasing a high quality plastic skin for the phone, and cutting a square out of the back (see other threads on this forum), I was able to make a very nice, working case for my phone. Do use the higher quality plastic, though, because once you cut a whole in the cheap cases, they won't stay on your phone.

Cut a hole in a 1 dollar case and it's snug as can be.

[VIDEO] Incase Systm Chisel for the Galaxy S4 (tested with QI charging)

The Systm Chisel case from Incase offers a unique design and a lot of armor. I consider it a mid level protection case as it offers around the same protection as other two layer molded cases such as the UAG, Acase, and Speck Candyshell. There are cases with separate dual layers which I let fall into the same category (ie Otterbox Commuter, Trident Aegis, Incipio DualPro). To really break into top category you have to have a frame that goes on top of the device like the Otterbox Defender or Trident Kraken.
Anyways the design is kind of a like it or hate it type. I had the case sitting around for a while and didn’t even review it because I didn’t think it would be popular. Once I opened up the package, I thought it really wasn’t bad at all. What really encouraged me to get around to it finally was the fact that someone mentioned it worked with the OEM Wireless Charging Door from Samsung.
With the wide variety ofcolors (see gallery below), you might just find something that matches your taste.
Black / Asphault
Asphalt / Orange
White / Black
White / Pink
Asphalt / Blue
Black / Seafoam
Using Battery Monitor Widget, I was able to see that the phone charges at an acceptable rate in the case when using the OEM Wireless Charging Door. The picture below basically states that the phone was receiving a charge current of 772mA. This is pretty normal even without the case on.

Dock for protective cover

I am looking for a charging dock, for office desk, to use it with my s4 + protective cover on it. The original one is a bit more fancy (don't really need multimedia features) and a bit expensive just to use it for charging.
I have this case : http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Protective-Bumper-Cover-Galaxy/dp/B00BUIG6E0 (original s4 protective cover)
I am looking to buy some cheap docks that will charge the phone with protective cover is on. I checked dx.com mainly, but ebay is okay also.

[Q] Must have accessories...

Afternoon team,
So I'm moving from iOS back to android next week, with a new Note 4 on its way!
I used to have an S2 and enjoyed the hell out of trying custom ROM's, but I'll get on to that in a few weeks time!
First off though, of course, is getting the right case and accessories. All opinions and set-ups welcomed!
Keep in mind, I use my phone as SatNav as I drive a lot, daily. Things like flipcases would be irrelevant as I can only imagine how rubbish they are to mount in a car. Also, I like tough cases as long as they aren't too bulky. The CaseMate for iPad Mini's are incredible (iPad mini is a main tool in my business). Wireless charging seems intriguing, so I wouldn't mind looking into that. As long as it works through standard cases?
I've looked at the Spigen cases, they look ok. But there's an awful lot of mixed reviews on here.
So, dream scenarios people... what accessories and case should I go for??

Spigen capsule i have got that one and is awesome, great feel, good protecion and it also looks god

Thanks,
The Spigen line look cool but I do find their insistence on 'Auto Focus' a little out of taste!

If you need a case then I can recommend Spigen as I have had them on many of my phones and loved them although I'm not a case user most of the time. I have the capsule for the Note 4 and I like it but with an already big phone it makes it bigger but not too much.
If you don't need a case then I would recommend the qi wireless charging back cover even if your not going to use wireless charging to charge the phone because to me it makes the phone feel better in hand.
If you are going to use wireless charging then I the Nexus magnetic charger looks good especially when used with a good dash mount.
Samsung spare battery kit is also good to have because it comes with a battery holder/charger and a slim holder as well.

samsung oem qi back cover, iblason armorbox case, itian wireless car charger, 3m scotch double sided outdoor tape, 3 coil desktop qi charger. thats all you need.

-Samsung Protective cover. I've tried many cases from Spigen, and other brands, but nothing beats the OEM cover for me.
-A pack of plastic screen protectors. Spigen, iSmooth, iCarez, Halo all fit well. I haven't been happy with any tempered glass protector.
-A decent Micro SD card that fits your storage needs.

I want to suggest
Xpower 2.4A Aluminium Alloy Micro USB Cable

can also find it on Ebay

There's a crazy deal on flash cards today, 128gb at 80$.
For must have though my list is short
Case since accidents happen, I use a 10$ caseology who's gaudy label came off with some rubbing alcohol.
Tempered glass screen protector if you're willing to get it at bestbuy, so they'll put it on and you can return it instantly if there's haloing. They tried four protectors until one worked, curved glass sucks.
High amp car charger for rapid charging, mpow is usually on sale. Mine was 8$.
I like a flat wireless receiver tucked behind the back door since I randomly find myself around wireless chargers, make sure it supports nfc if you use nfc.
Firekat rom to double your battery life since zerolemon is expensive
