Does anyone know (or can find out) if the official K1 shield cover will fit the original generation Shield? My original cover has just broke on me and the K1 is a lot cheaper (and widely available!)
Thanks
Do you have a link?

Never mind, I found it. Hard to tell if it is the same.
Hi,
http://shield.nvidia.co.uk/store/tablet-cover
http://www.scan.co.uk/products/nvid...ATV-CAMPAIGN-Q3-Google-co-uk-search-ad-2-Text
The original cover doesn't appear anywhere. Might be this one on the amazon web site http://www.amazon.co.uk/Nvidia-SHIE...450084305&sr=8-2&keywords=shield+tablet+cover
Thanks!
Jez
Yes, it fits
In case anyone is wondering I bit the bullet and just bought the K1 Shield Cover, it is exactly the same as the Tablet cover but half the price. It fits perfectly, all three viewing angles work, the auto screen on / off works perfectly.

I'm browsing the web in search of a S5 cover for my wife and I'm shocked to see how poor the choice actually is.
I'm searching for a Flip Cover (with or without the S-View function) in the style of the S4 which was fantastic as it was really slim, something that matters for her.
The official S5 covers look like crap : expensive, bulky, doesn't even close properly and you can't turn the flip part around the phone. It's like they were trying to make a book..:silly:
Even the generally good Spiegen/Ringke catalog is poor when it comes to flip covers (too bulky or they are wallet versions, which she's not into).
Any advice ?
I have s-view ant it fells awesome, no problems! In my opinion you should get s-view, or just place screen protector! s-view feel great in hands and it easy flips to the back of phone. Its not even bulky! Phone looks more amazing in it.

Actually there is more than you think, you just need to know where to search for them, I do agree, the range is limited if you compare it to the note 3, not sure about the S4.
try searching samsung's home town.
I have the S view case also, and I really like it. No need to open it to do small things like open camera. I really like it.
I have one of the OE Samsung flip covers and really like it. I used to have problems with my phone's screen coming on in my pocket and this automatically keeps the display turned off.

I don't think anyone knows how to read.
You can find some aftermarket ones on the web similar to the S4 but quality wise im not sure
I feel your pain it's one of the main reasons i have not upgraded from S4 to S5 i love how simple, skinny flap and ROUNDED the corners are on my S4 s view cover they Fu**ed up with the S5's case with being square edged and the stitching unnecessary. They need to make a S5 case exactly like the S4's (they can put the big window in) but use same materials f
ake leather isn't for everyone
I initially bought the S-view case for mine... Honestly I wasn't impressed. Very cheesy materials, and a lot of apps didn't know how to use the s-view functionality. Of course if you put a different ROM on the phone that isn't touchwiz based all that functionality goes out the window. I ended up ordering a Spigen SlimArmor case and never looked back.
Yes I agree with you. S5 fill covers are really disappointed and ugly.

i actually think the squared design of the S5 s-view case is an upgrade to the S4's. say if you drop the phone on the corners, the squared part will take impact first and save your phone more or less. i've had the S-view case for the S4 for some time, but switches between some tpu cases and the s-view. to each their own though, i feel the S5 s-view case is better in all perspectives compared to the last generation, the only gripe is that it's heavier and thicker.

The old design for the s4 has horrible!! It the same back piece with a flap on it and provided no protection at all. I literally dropped it once and shattered my screen. The new on is way better.

It was not designed for drop protection.... It was a very slim and sleek (very non bulk adding) way of protecting your screen from scratches. My whole reason for not liking the S5's cover is because of snagging those corners on my pocket pulling my phone in and out of my pocket.

I have the galaxy s-view case and it is not bulky to me at all . The fact that you take off the battery cover before attaching it to the s-view case keeps it really slim. I added the spigen magnet to it so the flip cover stays shut just in case i drop it . Normally i dont use any case with my phones cause it makes them either look like crap or just makes it too bulky . I dont know if its the s5 s-view you were talking about when you cant turn the flip part around the phone but thats not the case with the s-view . I got mine and its OEM on amazon for 8.99 used but it was perfect in condition . I would at least try to put the s-view on your phone in the store and see if you like it .

I agree the s-view is amazing . It keeps the phone slim and protects it great at the same time + it looks good too . I like that you can take pictures without opening it . I had someone take a picture of me with my GS4 and they dropped my phone and broke it . I dont have to worry about it with this
My issue with the S-View case is the elasticity of the cover. When you've had the case open for a while it doesn't fully close for some time; it does eventually but you end up having to put the phone face down or manually turn the screen off.
I do like the ability to view texts with the cover closed though but certainly will look into getting some magnet.
Hey guys and girls,
Just want to give you a heads up about a metal case i received in the mail today. Took a chance at ordering this case and did not expect much of it, untill now. The quality is really nice. Very snug and made og strong materials. Even the buttons are metal. No rattles no loose gaps or sliding phone inside. Just perfect.
As for the signal i see no loss so far.

I'm trying to attach a magnetic plate (for a vent mount) to the back of my honor 8, and this glass surface is like magic, nothing will stick to it! The double-sided tape that came with the plate held for about 5 seconds; hot-glue (my usual fool-proof solution) popped off instantly. Super-glue doesn't bond to the glass.
Has anyone found a reliable way to attach things to the back glass?
(Side note: Pretty as the glass case is, I would never buy buy a phone with it again. Too slippery and too fragile, I cracked the back glass within 2 days of getting the phone.)
Put it inside a case..... Not pretty but then again gluing something on the back isn't either.

I did it with a simple black tpu case from AliExpress on my moto x style, a metal plate under the case and on a magnet vent holder in the car, worked great could barely notice the plate.

Silicon case and a slim magnet in the back.
But I wouldn't use magnets as it might mess up with the sensors. I´m just guessing here...

The plate you put under the case is just metal and the magnet is on the holder you stick in the vent of your car. Sensors seems to work without any issues.

Anyway I'm not risking it. I know a few people who use magnets, but it's too much money to risk it.

That's a nice and simple solution.
Won't the metal plate worsen your connectivity? That is why there are 'antenna lines' on many recent phones right?

It's not noticeable if there's any connection drop. At least from the people I know. Also it's only for car mount purposes.

I personally would go for the clip ones with the windshield suck cups, but it comes down to personal preference.
Ok let's start out by saying I work as a mechanic so my phone get put through hell from being dropped regularly to bring splashed with oil and greese and some brake cleaner from time to time... So far this case has held up to all of it...
Pros:
*Case is light weight for the most part
*Wireless charging works flawlessly unlike other cases I've used
*The sound port to make speakers front firing is amazing great sound
*Great protection for the phone
*Magnetic phone mounts work great as well (if you position the plate correctly you can keep wireless charging as well)
Cons:
*Can be difficult to install the first time but after that no issues at all
The cases feels great in the hands and fits the pixel 4 xl perfectly... The lip to protect the screen isnt to bad I personally thought it would bug me
but its not to noticable.... I would recommend this case to anyone looking to get a case for there pixel...
Too bulky for my taste, makes the phone look like you're carrying a brick. Much better cases out there for example the below.

I think this will offer equal protection in a thiner profile.
