didn’t gave me a solution in how to protect my camera and keep the phone slim.
Well after searching my ass off I found this case that on the one hand gives maximum cam protection but on the other hand blows the phone up like hell. The thickness of that case was unacceptable for me.
So here’s what I did:
I took an cheap soft silicon case from here
and a furniture pad, scissors, scalpel and a pencil like this:

I Cut the holes in the furniture pad where the SGS3 needs them and stuck it on the TPU case...... et voilá:
In addition to the hama navi bag in which I already carried my retired SGS1 around this seems quite a protection against dust, coins and so on….
No worries, if I need a fancy housing, I chose this flip case, which has as you can see quite an acceptable camera lens protection as well.
But as neither my self made solution nor my flip case satisfies me completely I´m still looking for your solutions….
My dream would be a back cover that has a build in function as my old Nokia 6680. For those who won´t remember just like this....

Close:
Anyone knows a backplate with such a cool mechanism? I think as quite a few people seem to be concerned about scratching their cam lenses due to the design of the sgs3, such a back cover would sell like (as we in germany say) warm buns....

Why dont used ultra thin glass protector? They not really cheap, but offering great protection and no noise

2 reasons:
1. I don´t wanna mess up the cam Quality
2. I don´t wanna put glue to the cam lens, which might not get off properly again!
and by the way I´d have to cut the lens protection out of this >>ultra thin glass protector<<, which is again piece of handicraft.....

kickstand case??

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8091859&postcount=4
can anyone tell me if this case will work with the vibrant. if not, where can i find a kickstand case, other than the bodyglove brand.
Bodyglove has a cool case that has a kickstand. It's around 20-25
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
i have both the black mesh kickstand as well as the bodyglove. they both fit and work. the mesh kickstand may not be the top choice of some vibrant owners because it does not protect/cover the borders of the front glass/face of the vibrant as most cases do. i've had problems with the bodyglove case as it appears to be scratching the back case of my vibrant. i had the same exact issue on bodyglove case with kickstand on my hd2.
.
i let my sister have my bodyglove case. i actually didn't have a problem with the weaknesses of the black mesh case since the makers of it actually put some soft padding within the case to prevent scratches on the battery/back cover of the vibrant.

Got it on ebay: http://cgi.ebay.com/galaxy-s-I9000-..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item2a0a8f0118

I think that seller was selling 3 diff colors; black, white, and pink(?). I bought the black one 3 wks ago and recieved it about a wk ago. Initially, I thought that it was going to be shiny hard plastic case but to my pleasant surprise, it wasn't. The exterior is covered in a thin layer of hard rubber, covering the black hard shiny plastic underneath, while the inside of it is slightly padded. It looks a lot better in person than in pics.
Is the kickstand serving its purpose? Hell yea, it is...it makes watching movies on my dope SAMOLED screen that much more awesome The hard rubber makes for a good grip so it won't easily slip out of your palms like it sometimes would w/out it and it gives the phone an overall slick/cool (IMO) look. The only downside so far is that I'm getting some very small worn out spots where the hard rubber has rubbed off but it's not a big deal though.
Pics or it didn't happen, you say? Well, check 'em out !

Luxury Hard Plastic & Metal Cover Case Samsung Google Galaxy Nexus

I saw this within other posts but I didn't see that it had it's on thread so I'll post some pictures of it...
I bought this off ebay for $8 shipped. As you could probably figure out by the price it's definitely not metal, but rather all plastic. The metal finish back portion looks like some sort of thin aluminum brushed metal sticker and you might not be able to tell by the photos but the writing on the back is elevated and not flush against the backing and kind of "scrapy".
It actually fits really really well, almost as if a second skin, but it's a finger print magnet and theres no hole for the 3pin.
For $8 it's not bad as a backup case but you get what you pay for, but it's not too bad.

Does this work with NFC? How about cell/wifi/other radio signals?
Just to be clear this thing is plastic and not metal.
I don't know about NFC because I never use it or have anything to test it with.
Do you have an extended or normal battery?
I got mine in the mail the other day, ordered from here ("DELUXE" instead of "LUXURY" ): http://www.ebay.ca/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290671148814
I got the black one, like backspacr, but this seller has other colours (silver, pink, blue, red) available as well!
The case fits my GSM/HSPA+ model with a normal battery perfectly, though it can be a little creaky if you push on the tiny strips of plastic just over the volume and power buttons.
The plastic itself isn't black, but a darker, glossy shade of the Galaxy Nexus plastic, making it quite complimentary where the ends sticks out. I believe there is some metal plating on the "brushed" black backplate, as it feels cool to the touch most of the time. The whole thing feels quite good in the hand.
I was originally interested in it since it retained the branding, and unfortunately it's bevel out instead of bevel in, but that doesn't take away too much from the appeal.
No effect on cell signal, with wifi taking a bit of a hit (5-10 dBm), which causes some throughput issues, as I've noticed choking on video streaming when I'm at the far end of my house. As for NFC, I'll update this once I get it back from warranty replacement for the screen defect.
Overall a pretty good case, especially for the money, though I wouldn't get it again due to the effects on wifi throughput.
...And it completely blocks NFC. Terrible. Guess I'm in the market for a new case...
Edit: Perfect for NFC - Anymode Cool Case. Very nice in black.

Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case Review

Just thought I'd post my opinion on my latest case and throw up a few pictures for you guys to have a look at..
This is my second case for my S3, the first one being a FONEM8 Hard Slim Shell off eBay (www.ebay.co.uk/itm/140764120157) and while I was happy with the fit and style the rubberised texture attracted dirt like you wouldn't believe. In the end I had a grotty off white case that wouldn't even wash clean You can see what I mean in the 3rd picture.
Off I went looking for something similar in fit but with a gloss/shiny finish so it didn't end up all mucky and found the Nillkin Dynamic Fashion Hard Case (http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/230807084265) paid my £10 and waited for the postman. It arrived fairly quickly from China and I'm pretty happy with it. The rainbow effect that can be seen in the pictures is fairly subtle and can't really be seen in the pictures, its most noticeable in natural light.
Here's the pictures anyway (http://imgur.com/a/Hy2gp)

Those are really nice, I have the black textured one and it feels like it will protect your phone. Also goes over the bezel of the phone enough that you can leave it face down.
I bought one but didnt like it, i didnt like that theres little to no protection on the corners of the phone ,i bought a samsung vented case instead and like that better

The corners and top/bottom are a tad exposed, for me its trying to find happy medium between protection and keeping the device feeling slick and lightweight, can be tricky
I tend to go through cases quite alot (finished with about 8/9 for my iPhone) so I'll do a thread like this for each one I buy so others have a decent(ish) reference :good:
Here is mine...
Good.

Review of KLD Iceland series slim folio case for S4 w/lots of pics!!!

I honestly had no intention to review another S4 case (as you all know I do a ton of reviews here, link in my signature), but when I got this case for someone else - it just looked so cool for such a dirt cheap price, I had to review it. So here you go, Review of KLD (Kalaideng) Iceland series slim folio case. http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/KLD...laxy-S4-S-IV-i9500-i9505-i9502-MLC-I9500-212/
You really don't have high expectations when the case cost $3.83, but once you open it up and see how original the finish looks - you'll be surprised. The inner PC holder/shell is super slim with a secure grip and all the precise cutouts for power/volume/camera/flash/speaker ports. It's a typical design with wrapped around sides and open top/bottom. What makes it unique, and I do have to admit it's targeted for ladies, is the finish of the cover. It's obviously PU leather material and feels like that to the touch, but the visual has this frosted finish. Once closed, it should keep S4 screen from scratches, and also has a cutout at the top to continue using a phone even with a cover closed. Just a basic folio case with a very nice finish, and also a fancy packaging at one fantastic price. Here are the pictures.

Since this is for the ladies, I want to make sure guys are not left out I had a lot of other stuff ordered from TVC-Mall.com as well, including this cool 11-in-1 multifunction tool: http://www.tvc-mall.com/details/Fas...nction-Tool-with-Free-Leather-Pouch-HHC-2030/
I know it's only $1, but this is one of the coolest things I have ever seen. Measured approximately 69mm x 45mm and about 2mm thick, it's smaller than a credit card, made out of heavy duty stainless steel, and has 11 built in tool which are actually useful and functional. Everything from can and bottle openers, to flat screwdriver, a ruler, a hex and butterfly screw wrench, knife edge and saw blade. The only thing, it doesn't come with a leather pouch per description but rather a thick plastic one. Honestly, I wouldn't expect a leather pouch for $1 anyway. I actually got a few to keep it in my cars. Here are the pictures.

OnePlus 7 Flip Case hunt

Well I returned the OnePlus 7 Pro.. just couldn't live with the weight/ratio/curves.
Oneplus 7 inbound.
Was pretty happy with the Nillkin flip case for the Pro with its all round the sides protection and seemingly good build quality.
How disappointed was I then to discover the 7 non Pro variant of the case ditches the all round protection in favour of an open top and bottom design.
Dammit
So I've shelled out for this one on Amazon.
https://www.amazon.co.uk/GEEMAI-Oneplus-Shockproof-Kickstand-Smartphone-Black/dp/B07QR3DKLS
Dislike the kickstand craze with a passion. If I can I'll glue that half glued sucker.. but a mate has a case similar to this and the magnetic clasp works great.
I'd prefer a smooth lining as microfibre hold dirt which could be grit = scratch or worse.
I'm not a fan of wallet cases. I won't carry cards in this.
I'll review this case when it arrives.
"To prevent the broken" lol

Well the case arrived but not the phone yet. Hopefully it'll be a week at worst [emoji853]
Case is nicely packaged/presented, bag style. Very light but possibly in a bad way.. the covering may be a bit flimsy.. we'll see. The magnetic clasp works like a dream. Grabs its mate even when folded back on itself. Clear soft PSU 'glove' covers all sides thoroughly so +1 there. The lining is soft but not that annoying material that collects dust etc..
Seriously considering some double sided tape to weld down the damn kick stand.
So far, without the phone lol, 8/10

Hello, I´m looking for a flip case with a auto wake up function for the display.
Unfortunately, an official of oneplus does not exist. Can anyone help, is there one with this function?
Or is there any missing sensor in Oneplus 7? I've already tried it with a magnet, but that does not work.
Thanks in advance
