Joby Ori case - Modded to fit touchpad

I thought the Ori was pretty cool and hard to pass up at $30 even if it doesn't fit the best.
I ordered the Ori and used it for a bit and could see why some of the negative comments about it not securely holding the touch pad were made. I then started thinking of possible solutions to this (I also mod computers and cars) and in about 5 minutes I had a solution. I've been testing it out for a while now and it works brilliantly.
I bought the following trim pieces:
Polyethylene Edge Trim w/ Adhesive
Neoprene Rubber Edge Trim
From this site: (did I mention I mod cars too?)
http://customcargrills.com/products.asp?cat=45
The fitment with the trim pieces is nearly perfect and the touchpad is in there solid. The trim pieces do not extend higher than the TP so the cover fits as if the trim pieces weren't even there. I just need to get time to cut/drill out holes for the head phone jack and speakers.
I had thought about posting up a teaser saying that I had a solution to give me time to get a short video put together but I know how I hate those threads so here are some of pics of the results: (using my CM9 Nexus S 4G)

I've held the case so the touch pad is pointing face down and shook it as hard as I could and the touchpad did not come out. I've already ordered another Ori for my 2nd touchpad. I'm loving how functional the ori is. I'm just wanting to get a netbook sleeve for it to cover it when traveling and such to protect stuff from the metal case.

Horizontal Belt Pouch for Nexus 4

Personally I've always been a fan of having my phone in a belt pouch instead of in my pocket. With the size of the Nexus 4 and the large plates of glass on both sides I'm seriously afraid of breaking it in my pocket. To that end I've tried two different belt pouches.
First up was a trip to my local BestBuy. Their options were limited so I left with a Eddie Bauer generic large phone case.
This case is definitely built to handle phones that are much thicker than our Nexus 4. The back is also segmented which could allow the closure to adjust to accommodate phones of a range of widths.

The intent is nice, but the result is a case that feels like the phone could fall out easily as the closure is opened.
Needless to say I did return that case.
Next up was the Luxmo LU8HBK. This is advertised as a case for the Galaxy S3 which happens to be just around the same size as the Nexus 4. The fit here is MUCH better. While the closure is a bigger flap than I'm used to, the phone fits securely while still being easy to remove. It looks like this pouch will accomodate a thin case such as the Rearth Ringke. I have one on order but its still in transit.
I had a hunch the Luxmo would fit better, and at $5ea (at the time I ordered) I figured it best to get two.

Thanks OP. I have the same worry about my pocket as you. I read water meters and, as such, squat and kneel a lot.
Ordered my Nexus 4 on the 13th. Still waiting.

Qialino leather case review ( lots of pictures)

things that i needed in a case, slim, leather. i found that replacing the battery cover rather then one that snaps on over the back works best for me.
I didn't need a case that added alot of bulk
over all first thoughts. nice feel .lots of details in the case. charging port and buttons points in the case have been notched to make for easy access (see pictures)

[Q] Timbuk2 3way accessory case for Note 4 (or 5.5-6" devices)

Anyone find a soft case or holster for a phone as big as the Note? For my messenger bag, I used my Timbuk2 3way accessory case for my HTC One & Galaxy S5 but the medium size is too small for the Note. Any suggestions for a replacement? I love the Note but come summer it's going to be cumbersome to have to throw it in my bag, not to mention it could easily get scratched if it gets tossed around. I have some other pockets but either they are buried in the bag or too shallow for the Note. Thoughts?

[FOUND] Nite Ize Clip Case Cargo Wide Load
I think I found my solution. Review to come...
http://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-Clip.../ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
They key is that clip rotates and locks in place. I think it'll be perfect.

Verdict: Negative. The case isn't tall enough, even without a case. There's about 2 inches of velcro and only 1/2 inch reaches without a case and maybe 1/4in or less with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. The search continues.

Hi, any update? I'm looking for the same thing, a shoulder strap pouch for my note 4. thanks!!!

I was eyeballing this case on Amazon myself, but I don't know how the back attaches; it shows a lot more of the top clip function than anything else, but it does look like there's a back strap to loop a belt through.

Poetic HTC One A9 Affinity case review

I received this case a few days ago, this is the first Poetic case I've owned. I have heard positive things about them and decided to give them a try.
This case is really nice, feels good in my hand and most importantly the volume/power buttons have a nice solid feel to them. You know when you press them unlike some other TPU cases I've had.
The cut outs on the bottom are spot on and the edges are nice and smoothed.
Only issue I had was the bottom left corner. As you can see in the pics, it didn't seem to fit the corner of the phone properly. It could have just been due to the fact that I have a full body protector on the phone and that was not allowing the case to seat properly. Either way it doesn't hinder the usefulness of the case in any way.
For those looking for a clear TPU style case with solid rocker buttons and a really good feel and protection, I definitely recommend this case.

Last picture looks like bendgate.. is your phone ok??
Ps: why in the Fudge would i get a case on my A9 that looks like a Goober creature on my phone? Did u not notice this before uploading?

Phone is perfectly fine, look again and you can see the actual screen above the case.
Yes, really. I highly recommend this case.
The "goober creature" you see if you had any reading compression, is because of the full body skin I have.
