Official S6 Edge+ S-View Case w/ Note 7 - Note 7 Accessories

I recently purchased a Note 7 and didn't want to wait for an online order or pay $50 for a case so I purchased a Samsung official S View clear case for the S6 Edge+. The actual size difference does not prevent a secure fit and it was advertised on the Best Buy site for $25 but rang up at only $15 in store.
Currently it does not appear to enable any special functionality but does provide a translucent window to preview the screen. The camera is a perfect fit and the device clips in securely enough to hold it by the case and not slip loose. The S-pen requires removing the bottom right corner to access (or possibly altering the case).
May not apply to other accessories or case designs, especially full body cases. This is an alternative to long delivery times, ordering directly from manufacturer sites, and the ridiculous cost of "premium" accessories available at this time.

Photos would be welcome

Thanks for those. Can you get the s-pen out reasonably easy? Can't tell if the corner covers it from that photo and looking at the ones on vacation Amazon (cover is $20 there), it looks questionable.

Looks like this one covers the bottom corner of the S-pen while the proprietary Note 7 S-View case clips to the right side and stops at the S-pen with only a little extra on the bottom left to compensate. Somehow it almost appears less secure.
Personally, I don't use it enough to justify the extra $35.

VIDEO: Form-fitting black Silicon Case for HTC Desire - $10 - Amzer

Overall this is really great. I ordered it the day after I got my Desire, but it took 2 weeks just for it to get into production, and then another week to ship. It comes in a bunch of colors; I chose black. The fit is perfect, and all the buttons and holes line up just right. My only complaint is that I wish it were just a bit more stretchy-snug -- It's snug, but I'd like for it to have been more snug
.
ALSO:
It did not come with a carry strap, nor anchor point for one, but I made one myself and now it is secure in my hands everywhere I go. Mission accomplished. I will add pictures of that later tonight.

Oh sorry, I forgot to mention that.... They have nothing to do with the silicone case... They are separate stick ons called "egrips" -- which you can apply to any device and it creates a friction that prevents stuff from sliding out of your hand.

Prior to getting the silicone case in the mail, I needed to give myself some peace of mind to not let the Desire slip out of my hand. egrips are great... They makes them as strips you can apply where you like -- and they also make they as custom fits for an entire back of a phone...
I care a lot about aestehtics -- but I do not care about the back of my phone. I rank "NOT DROPPING MY PHONE" much much higher than "neat and tidy back side".
But, for the record, the egrips work great on the Desire back surface itself... But when I then applied them to the back of the silicon case, they don't adhere.
So, what do you think of the case?
Great video, thanks for the great review!
I wish everyone would review the products they bought the same way, with clean and alot of photos, detailed ones

Case Vs Cradle

I want a case , or a rubber encasing perhaps (just waiting to see all the accessories once this goes global) BUT I love the idea of a cradle..
If I were to give you one.. which would you choose? I want both but it isn't really feasible hey..
The case no need for a dock yeett ....
I wonder is the front and back for the galaxy S easily exchange able ?
I got a silicone case on ebay for <$3us. I know it might stretch if I'm not careful, but it would let you keep your phone safe without precluding a cradle.
Check out these. I bet you could think of something better.

The back is just a piece of plastic, you just pop it off with your finger, nothing fancy at all. I fully expect a wide variety of cheap replacement backs for this phone in a very short period of time. That is why I am not worrying about scratching the back much, just the screen.

If anyone gets this, please report back, I'm only interested due to the backing/kickstand. I dislike the front, screen cover. The link provides some pictures, even more can be found here: http://www.bb.co.kr/main/model/model.php?model_id=2373993&qword=SHW-M110s

There are two different models in the pic I posted - the kick-stand version doesn't come with the fold over screen cover

It simply fits.
Not bad but I cannot stand the hole in the left hand corner!

We call this style the DiamondFlex at TPU-Cases, others simply call it the Diamond Pattern. This look amazing on the phone. We didnt make this style for the G2x, but have made them for numerous other phones. I've never seen a TPU case designed like the one you posted, I'm surprised its able to hold its shape with such a large cutout in the corner. I personally would of done 2 holes in that corner instead of 1. Although we ended up just using 1 hole for the power button since only the Korean model has that corner port anyways.

Yes, this hex pattern looks pretty good. This is a reason why I went for this. Moreover, it simply fits 100%. It's pretty easy to put on but it's not loose at all.
I can live with this "TV antenna" cutout though.
Wondering how this compares: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0050ISVW6/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&m=A2HOCXU5SC35JO Obviously this one is solid black, and it doesn't appear to have an antenna cutout.
I just ordered one anyway, hopefully it will work for me.

A Very Nice Sleeve Case For the Transformer

I thought I would share with everyone this wonderul find I discovered at Best Buy. It is a sleeve case made by Init. It's a tablet pc sleeve that works perfectly for the Asus Transformer. There are a couple features I especially like about it.
1. The material has a nice soft vinyl/leather feel (seems like it would be waterproof) and a very nice embossed design (the circles you see in the images).
2. The inside of the sleeve is a very nice soft material that holds the transformer perfectly. It's not a tight fit but the transformer doesn't really slide around much inside.
3. The foldover flap is really nice. There are two buttons on the underside of the flap that snap easily to keep the flap from opening up.
4. Most of all (and the part hardest to describe) is that this case actually has a sleeve within a sleeve. When you open the flap you will see that it's actually two pieces of material held together by a zipper. When you open this zipper it reveals another pocket, a bit bigger than the one the tablet goes in, but this pocket is made for keeping stuff like your power adaptor, cleaning cloth, etc. Since the secondary pocket is completely separate from the one that the tablet goes in you don't have to worry about scratching the tablet. It sits snugly inside it's own dedicated pouch!
I wish there was a picture of this zippered pocket on the images I found both at Best Buy and on Init's website. Not showing the extra pocket makes it hard for people to understand the true utility of this sleeve. (UPDATE - I have taken a picuture of mine, a dark green model and shown it below).
Currently this case sells for $24.99 at Best Buy which I consider a total steal! I will be using mine as the primary case until a better portfolio sleeve comes out but I will keep this around for use while traveling, or tossing my Tranformer in an overnight bag.
Good Luck!

DIY Wallmount TF700

I am working on a wallmount for my TF700 atm, so once entering the door to my apartment i can grab and operate my house automation software with it.
Basically the 3D modell is done in Google Sketchup.

Sliced the modell into a back-, mid- and frontplate, and exported it into a dwg-file which you can find in the zip attachment.

I will use my local carpenter to provide me with the plates and work my way forward from this point. Please be advised i have not had time to cut the plates yet since i am quite busy irl atm.
Some work i still need to finish:
- thin rubberband between the tablet and wood, for easy safe sliding into the wallmount
- charging hole @ the bottom
- the mount system itself, hopefully removeable mayby integrate a kickstand so i can even place it on a table
Questions:
Is there a pin layout for the bottom charging plug, i heared it should also support audio out for external speakers there or can this only be achived by the headphone interface at the side of the tablet?
well done. looks nice
I would also recommend to cut-out a small piece in the top-middle of the back-plate. This will probably allow you to more easily grasp at the device.
Rubber does not make a good slide. I would suggest putting a layer of smooth fabric over the rubber to smoothen it.
Silk or Lycra (Lycra is cheaper) should work. Lycra has a better heat regulation than regular cotton, but normal cotton could work too if you're low on budget.
How will you be attaching it to the wall?
I like this idea!
What sort of home automation do you use? Something similar to Brighthouse Networks?
I find that a heavy duty felt works very well as a smooth barrier between two objects. Mostly, I've used it to keep my wood furniture from scratching the new floors, but the same principle applies obviously with glass & wood. It provides a good deal of padding beyond just the low friction surface, and it's also super cheap to boot.
