Curious do you have an issue with real from cow leather?

I don't really like the feel of it. Plus I'm a vegan so was hoping it was fake.

you should go into a cell phone store and feel it for yourself.
something i like to do is if i see a verizon, tmobile, atnt sotre i like to go in and see and mess around with all the phones they have. you should try it yourself.
i checked out the s6 and s6 edge about 2 weeks ago and the edge felt horrible for me lol. i hated how it had a trapizoid feel wit ht he back all pointy, and the edge screen was more on top then on the actual side which was suprising for me because nobody had mentioned this in the posts that ive read about it.
so check it out for yourself, you might like it
besides being vegan shoudlt stop you from liking somthing with leather. dont let your diet take over your life. you are the one that makes the choices.
plus i think its made from vegtables, not 100% sure but google it. because i hear vegtable tan leather made in 6 weeks for one phone alot.

Its funny how people get jealous of what i get paid to do.
PS. this phone was purchased outright for our own personal use. This was not a review unit nor was it given to us. if you had any common sense you might realize that companies will not give you a phone just for you to smash it into pieces.
Ouch!

Why did I watch this!!! I've dropped every phone I've ever owned and I know what I've got in store now

I do reviews for a site and we have a very close relationship with both Samsung and HTC and the word they always use is never "GIVE" it is always "LOAN" and with that they always make use promise that the device will be returned in perfect working order. If it is damaged in anyway the reviewer has to pay for it.
galaxy s2 also has gorilla glass and it really IS UNBREAKABLE(nw I think i should'nt had sold mine )

[ALLUMINUM CASE] Iphone-like case for Galaxy S3 !

Hi guys, no a long time ago we saw a chinesse website selling Iphone-like aluminum case for GS3. But this website was WAY too creepy and unsecure. I've found the same product over here : www .casefanatic.com/samsung-2/galaxy-s3/metal/hunterf-galaxy-s3-thin-alu-bumper-case/ no spacing
on a secure website and with a lot of choise for color !
I've ordered one today ! :laugh:
looks like an ad...
look cool
If you want your phone to look like an iPhone then but am iPhone and not some cheap look alike.
Even come topped off with a brushed bezel haha
Well, not a bad idea, I wonder about the reception quality though since a metal case also shields the built in antenna..
I have one, and I have to say that I have got it not because I want my phone to look like an iPhone, but I like the metal touch and sturdiness my SG3 has now.
I have notice some minor wifi signal but has far as gsm, there was no loss (that was one of mine concerns).
I can say that I am happy with the results.
Ordered mine today.
hmm thinking of getting this case but some comments on the video said it blocks service. can anyone confirm?
You can buy it from ebay for 18 dollars seach ultra thin case samsung galaxy s3

looks good but...
wifi and cellular reception will drop dramatically. I used this. no doubt it gave the phone an awesome looks and feel but i couldn't live with very low reception.
Just received it, it's really nice. Haven't noticed any difference in signals. Still need to check NFC.
Ordered the black/silver. Don't like the combo, so I'll be ordering the all silver.
I'm going to start telling people it's the iPhone 5S/6... Lol.

I don't have this case but I tried using a different case with a metal backing and NFC (including S-Beam) is blocked. It was only the backing and not all around so I can't say for sure if the signal strength will be affected by this case. Looks very cool though.

Htc one wooden casing????

Im looking for a wooden casing for HTC one. I've seen dozens on iphone and sammy, Its been awhile singe htc released so there must at least be one manufacturer making a wooden case for the HTC one right?????
As far as a case goes idk, but there are wooden skins that supposedly feel like actual wood
There can only be one, the chosen ONE.
I have not seen one. Wooden cases are pretty labor-intensive, so the manufacturers tend to stick to the most popular models. You might be able to talk them into a custom one depending on how badly you want it and the size of your wallet.
Edit: You know, there is this thing called Google--you might try it. Found this one in about a minute:

Okay, for being a douche, I tracked down a real option.
Edit: nope, that's a plastic wood grain case.
This guy might be talked into making one, though it's more of a box than a case:
http://www.etsy.com/listing/1198975...essories_mid&gclid=CNfr-ef_grkCFSU6QgodQ0UAJQ
Might contact these people and see if they have sold any. They've got some nice options:
http://www.alibaba.com/product-gs/1196374249/2013_hot_new_products_wooden_case.html
I've been looking around for a wooden one as well, but nothing has really come up for me. I think the most ideal one for me would be a case that is plastic except for a thin wooden back (or wooden-looking back). I would love it if Carved made a case for the One. Their cases for the iPhone 5 and the S4 look great:
An alternate idea I want to try is to pair an aluminum bumper... with one of the wood-look wraps from Slickwraps. A silver aluminum bumper with Carved's Maple Wood skin woud look very nice in my opinion.
Depending on the size of your wallet this guy could do you a bespoke one he could even put some nice inlays on it such as your initials. Quality work and he has a very nice selection of woods I personally love American walnut. Like I said it won't be cheap though.

(Video Review) Sonivo Nexus 5 Wallet Case with a Sleep sensor

Here it is guys, the review I done for this case. Absolutely in love with it.
I thought I'd share this with everyone as if you look online there really are no wallet cases in the world like this to have the sleep wake function.
If you want more information about this case reply to this thread and I'll try to best answer your questions.
Hope you like the review and the case as much as I do!
Whoever this sonivo crowd are, they smashed it with this case :good:

Does the magnet interfere with the phone in any way? Maybe the compass or any other sensors?
[Edit] also, is the phone held snugly in the case or does it seem like I could come out with just a bit of flexing?

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.
One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America
I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:
Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

I have one that's similar:
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Googl...=UTF8&qid=1384880507&sr=8-13&keywords=supcase
The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.
I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?

Man purse.

Since I've started using my tablet, it's become an integral part of my life. I find myself wanting to keep it attached to me somehow at all times which led me to consider looking for (for lack of a better word) a man purse for holding tablets.
Here are some I've come across that I like so far. What are your thoughts?

here is another one I just found. A reviewer said that it's not good for a tablet, but I'm wondering if it's because it wouldn't fit because it looks like it could hold the note 10.1 2014.

A surplus military map case will work well. I have an UZI branded map case that I got in the 80's. It is the perfect size for a tablet, has three compartments as well as space for pens and a few other things. It is a bit more manly than a murse.

I think a Filson Field Bag is probably as manly as you can get (my grandfather always used their gun cases) they come in great waterproof and wool materials, and are US made. Cost a bit, but then we have rather expensive tablets don't we.
