u can't find them in india i think but can be bought n shipped to india. shippping is just 5$$

You will probably never get a perfect fit with these. Its a good idea, but it will never look as good as the pics on the site. Just buy one of those tight fitting cases in different colors.

I have tried these with other phones before, the thing is they look nice when new but it only takes 1-2 months before the colors fade away and the corners to peel off. imho they are not worth 15-20$.

i've used decalgirl skin's vinyl for my PS3.. perfect fit n easy application/re-application. no fading till date(its abt 2 years old) but as phone will be kept on its back n keep rubbing the pouch while inserting taking out of it.. the fading might occur.

Cheap Case Review (Lots of pics!)

Hey everyone, I'm back with another review with lots of pictures again. Some of the pictures were taken with my Galaxy Note 2, and even though they are some fantastic pictures, I took out another camera to take pictures with the case on the phone.
To be honest, this is a case that I thought I wouldn't recommend to anyone because it was a cheapo case and it feels CHEAP! I mean, REALLY cheap! But once it's on the phone, it actually feels really good in hand and then it gives it a textured back that will for sure not let you drop it as easily!
Enough of my blabbing.
This is how it came:

"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
You can find this case in a ton of different colors.
The buttons don't feel like they're going to click, but they're actually really clicky once it's on the case. It isn't as good as the original case that I reviewed last week, but for the price, it's good and you can feel the raised buttons.
Port holes are HUGE! I mean, every place there is an opening, this case makes it a lot bigger than it really needs to be! Check these pictures out.
Compare the hole for the speaker, or the pen silo!
And the camera hole
There is a higher lip on the case, so you can put it face down on the table and the screen won't touch the table.
I actually bought this case a week before I got my Note 2, and it just got here a few days ago. Ironic that I ordered it to have a case right away and it is the 4th case I got in the mail. Lol. I like the case, but it honestly doesn't compare to the Original case that I reviewed. It does have some good points and some bad ones. I like the texture, but it has massive port holes. I don't like how it makes my phone look though, but you can judge that for yourself. I'm going to stick to the original case. But it's not bad at all for the price that it is on eBay!
Would I recommend it? Yeah.
Are there better cases? For sure.
Better cases for the price? Probably not.
Hit thanks if this review has helped you or you just like the pics Or if you'd like me to continue reviewing cases I buy .
Thanks for reading

These can be bought for $3.99 each (there might be other listings for lower price than this) from ebay.com

Does 'Add to Cart' button work for you on that site?
Edit: Never mind, it works in Chrome. Doesn't work in Firefox for me. Strange.
This looks like a awesome site if it's genuine.

I actually got mine from eBay:

I've ordered from here before. Shipping takes forever unless you pay for faster shipping but it's legit and I got about 10 cases for my original note from there. They were only 86 cents! One of the best sites I've come across. The only problem I've run into is the pictures don't exactly represent the exact item. Like I ordered a case and the picture showed it transparent but it was really solid blue.

UPDATED: Lego stand I made for my Nexus (Now with TEARDOWN!)

Made from Lego I had lying around:

Edit: I got requests for a teardown. You can find it here: http://imgur.com/a/t87GV :fingers-crossed:

Looks great!I will try do something with my old lego

That's definitely AWESOME, any way you put it together (or take it apart). Outstanding job, and you matched the colors more or less as best you could, just even MORE AWESOME.
Makes me want to go hit up a thrift store looking for some Lego blocks now.

This is quite possibly the best thing I have ever seen.

Cool design. I certainly like how you used those smooth pieces for the N7 to lean on as a cap.

Re: Lego stand I made for my Nexus
I'd find 2 men to stick under the rails. Make them pose with arms up, like they're holding the machine up.

Now the obligatory request:
Let's see a proper teardown and inventory of the pieces and an assembly video... MUAHAHAHAHA
Seriously though, I would like to get a list of the parts if possible or a breakdown, some of those I can't quite make out. Hell man, you need to make a kit of this thing and start making a profit, maybe even Jerry-rig it with a cradle at the bottom with 4 pogo pins in it and the microUSB and audio jacks, I'm sure it would be a popular item.
So many good ideas, I swear. If some company can make and charge $50 for a piece of wood wrapped in cloth as a Nexus 7 case, surely you could make some ducats with such a thing...

This. Is. Awesome. Without any other words. Seconded for an assembly video, if you ever get a chance.

Re: Lego stand I made for my Nexus
Are the 3 ring like bits on each side aesthetic or are they supposed to hold a cable?
Looks good regardless.

Re: Lego stand I made for my Nexus
Cool design! I might "borrow" some Legos from my nephew and try to make one as well. Can't believe no one thought about it before.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Thanks. Brilliant. And here I am 20 euro poorer buying a case and stand online.
Have just given me the perfect idea to keep my 6 year old son occupied for the weekend using his abundant star wars and batman Lego sets. I don't think I will video the endeavours - to painful for forum I expect - but if he accepts the challenge will share photos.

He he, awesome. I have some Lego lying around too, I might do a stand tomorrow.

Thanks!
Thanks you guys, for the overwhelming response. I really appreciate it )
@daryllh: I acually had two Lego men underneath (a Storm Trooper and something else) but they kept falling off when I bumped the stand. Plus they collided with the all grey theme, so I took them off.
@bsoplinger: The 3 bits on each side is actually the one half of a hinge (like the hinges I use to get the angle of the slope. They are only on there for the looks: I had no 2x3 pieces in grey, and the only 2x1 (without the hinge part) I had, was in also in a non grey color.
If more of you want me to, I'll do a video showing how it's assembled and what parts I use.
But if I were to purchase the parts, I would choose other bricks in a few places. For example, in the upper corners (under the part where the N7 rests) I've used regular (thick) 8x2 pieces because I had no 'flat' tiles (1/3 height) in 8x2.
Thanks again

YES WE WANT A TEARDOWN VIDEO.
Any info would be greatly appreciated as I would seriously go looking for some Lego blocks/kits to build one of these myself. It's just so unique and not even something that I - and apparently pretty much everyone else but you, RipRapRob, realized "Hey, I got an idea for something with Lego blocks and my Nexus 7..."
So definitely, a teardown or parts breakdown video would be absolutely welcome and appreciated so I can get the same blocks myself.

Lego superman Nexus 7 stand
I didn't think through my promise of euro5 to my son if he made me a stand. After 10 mins he came back with this offering. So Denmark 1 and Ireland 0. Mind you, this country is in a pretty poor economic state - well that's my excuse.

hehehe Superman to the rescue!!!

Re: Lego stand I made for my Nexus
That's awesome.

Sorry,delete please

:good: Nice!
You might just have a good future designing wheelchairs for disabled piglets.

My weak attempt. Don't have that much lego.

Customized Skins

Got bored and went ahead and played around with my plotter. I think I did a pretty good job myself...what do you guys think?
Managed cut-outs for all the ports, including top and bottom. IR still works since it's behind the power button.

You can search for me on Etsy using my username or LoPan1212 on ebay. Hit me up with any questions or suggestions!
Carbon Fiber: Red, Black, Grey, White, Blue, Clear/Glow
Chrome: Red, Blue, Gold, Pink
Coming Soon: Silver Chrome, Dark (black-ish) Chrome

So i've got some black and some red carbon fiber if anyone is interested.

I'm definitely in if the price is right

ooohhh drool. I am interested too:fingers-crossed:

The carbon fiber works great!
And fits under a spigen ultra hybrid too! It just takes some jimmying to keep the side pieces from being pushed off buy the case...
Here's a link to an album with more shots and angles if you're curious.

How much do you think is fair for a custom wrap?
Please let me know if there's interest for these, and I'll go through the work of setting up an Etsy or Ebay listing.

15 would be fair. As long as they last a while and have a standard warranty

I could probably ship to Germany, I'm not sure how much more it would cost, but I wouldn't be opposed...

is that bomb cut out of the wrap? as in its a separate piece? if so whats the chance of getting a black carbon wrap with the bomb cut out of red carbon....

It is cut out, but out of the same piece, and the whole back is removed at once from the paper backing, with masking tape keeping the designs lined up.
...that doesn't seem impossible, but it will take some extra detail work to get it aligned properly, and more materials.

that could be interesting. i will definitely keep it in mind. I have a plain black carbon from another company right now and am getting bored with it. I might hit you up in a week or two.

Cool man. If I get around to it, I might do a test run, and I'll post pictures if I do!

Anonymous mask?
I was thinking this cut-out would look cool. Not sure on what sort of texture it would look best though!?
I just googled around, can't post links annoyingly, but if you go to qvectors DOT net SLASH vendeta-mask-vector there is a vector example.
I am thinking of trying to get some splash screens, boot animations and backgrounds too, would go well on a completely stripped down ROM with XPrivacy and AFWall+ installed.

That would look cool. Unless you have a clear back case, I'd probably do it negative. The white parts would be in red, with a thin border around it for the outline. That way there wouldn't be lots of small pieces to get lifted off by routine handling..

Can you like make just like faces symbol? Like just iron man face or transformers face only.? It's cuz I like the silver/metallic.

Good point, awesome idea. I'm going to try and put the phone in the clear baseus skin that people are talking about - seems to be the thinnest out there.
What about a black carbon one, I think that would look sweet, although I am by no means any sort of designer.

TPU/plastic Bumper only case

Hello All,
Tried to look for this via search, google/youtube and can't seem to find one. There seems to be various aluminum bumpers on Ebay but from what I've been told/read it does reduce wifi/cell so definitely don't want that and not really keen on aluminum protection.
I'm getting a Dbrand Skin sent in and would like the bumper protection. I'm pretty careful with my phones but occasionally will drop and that soft tpu bumper really works well. Unfortunately it seems like everything TPU made comes with a back cover. I'd rather not cut-out a clear bumper since it'll be rough/ragged lol.
Anyone seen, know of one?
Best,
Zio

Try the RhinoShield bumper from Evolutive Labs. I think they'll begin shipping them in a few weeks. According to their website, the do sell one for the Galaxy S7 now. Hope that helps.

Thanks Sade! I've reached out to the company to see if they have plans to do so.

Had a rhinoshield on my note 5 and loved it. It did make the phone wider and taller, but it was nice to feel the glass on the front and back of the phone; plus great confidence for drop protection. There's some youtube videos on their product.

With the glass back on the Samsung phones, I think I'll feel a lot better with a case that protects the back, too.

If you get the rhinoshield bumper get the back screen protector with it as it is excellent

I've got a mahogany DBrand skin so got the back part covered! I'm mostly careful with my phone. If I ever do drop it, it's usually on to my carpet when getting off the couch or bed lol.

+1 Just e-mailed their support team with a link to this thread & the other one in the S7 Edge accessory section regarding backless bumpers.

Got a response from the folks @ RhinoShield just hours after contacting 'em:
Hi,

For the s7 Edge we are still looking for way to overcome the difficulties associated with its contoured sides. If we have a breakthrough for it, you can be sure that we will announce it at our Facebook page:https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ( https://www.facebook.com/evolutivelabs ).
