Make any case a smart case!!

Found this on Amazon so if you have a case you like that isn't a smart case this seems to be a decent alternative.

Thanks for the link! That's rather expensive considering my case cost less than the magnet Is there any way that I could just buy some magnet strips and super glue them to the case?

ROFLMAO $10 for that??? That's extortion! I think I'm just going to go to my local craft store and pick a few up there, surely they will be a fraction of the cost.

That's not a case, just a magnet.

Does anyone know of nay magnet tape that works? I'm in the UK so anything on eBay/Amazon UK would be ideal.

Currently using magnet tape from an arts and craft store. Costed 1.99 for a yard lol.

Does it work? I know some people are having trouble with certain kinds of magnets like the flexible plastic refridgerator type magnets.
Do you have an IO Nexus 7 or a production model?

Yea it is kinda expensive lol I just came across it looking at TPU cases and I've never seen anyone sell that
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Production model. The case needed to be snug otherwise just layer it to fit. I out 3 strips on top of each other to make a friends case work. It has to be flush with the screens sensor.

Do you know if the polarity is a or b?

I have a roll of 1/2" wide adhesive magnetic tape and tried cutting a piece to see if it would work, no dice. must not be strong enough. I'd be concerned with it scratching the screen anyway, but thought I'd give it a try.

Have a look on the Play Store for "CaseSensor for Tablets", turn any case into a smart one using the light sensor.

I made my folio case a smart case by using a small magnet from a desktop toy i had (has little sticks with magnets on the ends and little metal balls for making geometric shapes), used a dremmel and glues it in. Free and works like a charm! I would be happy to sell some magnets for $10 each.. . I'll throw in shipping for free ;P

I was playing around with a magnet to see which side would matter, and it doesn't look like it's polarity specific.

Sleeve/pouch with sleep function?

I had this idea recently and was just wondering if anyone has come across something like this or if it would be possible to make one.
Basically I love the sleep/wake magnet thing but I like the idea of a pouch or sleeve more than a folio case, I just want something to protect my tablet when I take it out of the house. If a magnet could somehow be build into the fabric where the sensor is, I think it would be great for things like checking on notifications without fully removing it from the pouch.
So, anyone find this interesting or have any suggestions?

Can we not use the magnetic tape thing on the correct location inside of a sleeve? Just curious.

That's the sort of thing I was thinking of, I'm wondering what the best sleeve is to try it with, as it would need to be quite snug to make sure there was contact.

I ordered a sleeve, I made a thread for it. I'll try it out and make a review and let you know.

Hi,
Were you able to add a magnet to the sleeve? which sleeve did you buy?
Thank you

I wouldn't recommend using magnetic tape to make your own sleep/wake, it can be really touch and go. Use a really small N42 magnet (can get on Amazon or at the store). Depending on the sleeve, you could make a tiny cut and re-sew the area from the inside.

Official Nexus7 Case?

So Google has yet to release the Nexus 7 Case.. but its for sale at Sams Club?
I don't have a Sams Club membership, and I do not plan on support Walmart anymore than my wife already does...
Anyone know of a case, that is similar to the "Official" Nexus 7 case, but it available somewhere I do not need a membership?
I like the small/tight feature of that case. I can not stand a big bulky case that adds to the profile of the device.. I like how I can slip it in my back pocket, and every case I've found in the stores removes that ability.

As far as i know the travel case is for sale but the premium case is not yet released although pictures leaked
Sent using my Nexus 7 with Tapatalk

Seems dumb to me that they would wait so long to release the case. I'm holding out for an otterbox case.

The case listed on the Google Play store as "coming soon" is what you are referring to as a 'travel case' ... have not seen anything about a premium case.

You can order the travelcase at the asus website. I cant order from the play store so dont know about that. Premiumcase details are here:

I bought a proper Nexus case from Carphone Warehouse earlier today....it's kinda like a grey rubbery case with a flap that covers the screen...

Was looking at he case but decided against it on two things,1 there is no stand to prop up for watching films etc. 2 The cover flaps around so all kinds of crap can get on the screen if left in my bag.Shame as the rest of it and the way it holds the nexus is sweet

Was that the one made by Asus? Most Gamestops carry it, I looked at one today. Wasn't impressed with the feel, I'm sure that would slip out of my hands at some point.

looks like it. i've modded mine by cutting the useless flap off and keeping the back portion of it intact.
the flap if you join two ends up, actually then doubles up as a nice stand to lean the tablet against to watch films.

I also bought mine two days ago.
Only available in blue and pinks; None of the greys where in stock.
The grip is nice and if you flip the cover, the tablet stands in landscape easily and quite stable.
I attach some pictures of mine.

Bluetooth Wireless Keyboard Video Review!

Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the New Trent Bluetooth Keyboard with touch pad. Here is a link to the video review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tym3BoEhQwc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And here is a link to the product on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Mul...36&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=new+trent+ishuffle
My full written review is there as well. In short, its the best wireless keyboard I have used. Definitely worth the asking price of $55.
This is my first YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!

Great video review. Is the back part / empty plastic really just for the stand or are they hiding components in there? It kind of reduces from it's portability. Do they make that part of its plastic removable?
Have you tried it with the nexus 10? If so, does it sit well like the galaxy?

Nice review. Too bad about the home key. Get a sleeve case. I'be seen them at "5 Below", if you have that store. And yeah, it's $5.
I have a Logitech k400 IR keyboard. Works well but connects through OTG cable. Bluetooth would be better.

No there are not any components in that area, no. I wanted a stand really bad though because I dont have a multi angle case though.
Yes, I used this with a nexus 10 for a while. It actually fits better than the note. I think its because of the grippy material, but it doesn't slide around as much as mine.

Thanks for the review, I don't tend to like small keyboards, but I might get that for my N10.

Yeah I worried I would struggle to type on it too, but I can nail out an email pretty quick. To out it in perspective, it is about as large as the tablet.

the one I looked at was for a Tablet but since your keyboard is the same size, I think It will work too.

I'm looking at the K400 Plus. It'll require the OTG cable as well, but that's no big deal.
Does the touch pad and 'buttons' work / simulate a 'tap'?

Ok my bad,it costs $26.99? its tpu with a polycarbonite shell, nice snug fit,slim design,nice front lip, my only complaint is the back is a finger print magnet at times or maybe it's just the black color that I have, but that's minor to me I plan on ordering a few more colors, Here's where I ordered mines from, received it in 4 days even though the tracking says it's still in Chicago and I live in Louisiana, http://www.zoarah.com/iface-revolution-case-for-galaxy-note-2.html?desktop=

Reminds me of the samsung protective cover+ in that the back is hard plastic and the edges are tpu. Do you have to remove the phone to access the credit card holder/slot?

+1 didn't know about the credit card slot.

Looks cool! The shiny back resembles a lot Case-Mate Pop! case, probably the same fingerprint magnet prone to scratches and slippery. I like how they have a little piece of gold foil in there and claim "24K Gold-plated logo sticker inside the case blocks 95% of electromagnetic waves and protects you from small amount of electromagnetic radiation". Reminds me a lot of those little battery stickers they used to sell 4-5 years ago that claimed the same.
Sorry, didn't mean to rain on the parade, just making general comments. The case definitely looks original which is a big plus, and from its description offers a great deal of protection! Thanks for sharing it!!!

Yeah ok

Case looks great! Thanks for sharing. How long did it take to actually get to your front door?
Also, what lock screen is that?

Reading the list of specs on the website I see there is a hole for an aerial for the Korean note 2. Does the hole leave the corner exposed? Nice looking case, I'd be interested in black if they ship to the UK. Thanks.

It's exposed but not to the point where if you drop it the corner would hit the ground but it's a slot big enough for an antenna to slide out, but the phone sits back deep inside the case, you can see it in the 7th pic
