I know there's already a plug for this website in another thread, but I wanted to show everyone what is possible with these guys. This is a carbon fiber overlay for my Droid Incredible. I'd have to say it looks pretty rad.
Check out what else they have http://www.grfxpstore.com/store/Android
Awesome! Thanks
That looks really nice. Seems like it's only a sticker though, it would be amazing if it was something like the Invisible Shield with the design printed over it.
I mean, I guess you could call it a sticker. But it's a custom cut vinyl! It's way more resilient than a paper sticker or something, more like a foil. Plus I have an invisible shield under it
It isn't raised up that much because of the shield?

Probably not. Invisishields are pretty thin.

Exactly. It's basically like just having the invisible shield. It's not like I really touch those other parts of the phone so the thickness of the vinyl is a non-issue.
Do cases with magnetic holds affect and functionality of the phone?
Sent from my SPH-L710 using xda app-developers app
Personally, since the s-pen uses a magnetic field to utilize the cool floating feature, I wouldn't want to mess with it using a case with a magnetic closer. I could be wrong though.

I have a the iMagnet car mount and the magnet in the mount affects the stylus. It doesn't respond where the magnet is but works elsewhere on the screen. You should be ok if the magnet is weak and on the side, not behind the device.
Damn, i guess i'll stick with something else. Thanks for the info guys.

No issues with magnets and the EMR technology in my experience. I'd be more worried about the effects on my memory.

That's another thing to think about. It's such a sweet case but I'd rather be safe than sorry. The last thing I need is my phone konking out on me randomly for any reason that's not my own doing.

Actually magnets compromise S Pen functionality, I have two flip covers with magnets and S Pen doesn't work on the display portion just above the magnet.
Tapatalked.
They're also extremely likely to cause problems with the device's compass. Magnet's and compasses really don't mix well.
What about the tetrax xway
With the four magnet config its meant to make it safe
Available from tesco stores for £5 (with a voucher doubled up)
Its the circular one similar to the one on mobilefun. It does fit, but best get them to show you first
Is there a link?
Go in store. Its not on their website

I bought it yesterday - it is wide enough to hold the note 2 but it's at the limit of the holder's maximum width. Not sure I'll keep it as it's maybe a tad too flimsy. I would be a bit afraid that the plastic arm might break and then note would fall.
Thanks for the tip though, joey.

I feel the same way. I just don't trust windshield mounts.
I got an iOttie for mine and have it suctioned in a cubby behind my shifter in my Honda Civic. This mkes it so the holder piece leans on the edge of the opening, giving it support.
It does take the weight (doesnt fall off when driving on the bumpy cornish roads/lanes)
It fits perfectly with about a cm to spare
It might look flimsy but its actually quite tough
If you want something better spend more than a fiver

This is a tenner in my local tesco - how did you get it for a fiver? Coupons?
I didn't mean to be overly critical of it by the way - it looks solid enough. I think I will have my phone mostly in portrait though, so i'd like something at the bottom to stop it slipping down.

No probs, all in good jest.
It was double up tesco vouchers so only cost me a fiver
I've been using the Mountek MT5000-D and it's great.
Works great with both my note 1 and my note 2.
I was using the tetrax x-way before but it just couldn't handle the weight of the note.
it would just keep falling off.

How easy/hard are the buttons to press? I have a $5 generic black smoke argyle ebay case on mine. Fits perfectly, buttons are easy to press, perfect grip, no lint collection, and has protected my phone from a handful of non-critical drops. So so far, so good.
I was thinking of trying the D3O case, but I was just worried about stiff button syndrome.
I work in construction as owner. Spend most of my time in unheated workshop and @ 30° I have no stiff buttons. It is molded soft buttons and works flawless. Notice it also has a backplate that is clear plastic that can be scratched but no big deal. Camera lenses is cut out. So much better in grip and also fits leather cases snuggly so it doesn't fall out as easy.

Is that backplate piece optional, or does it not fit flush if you leave it out?

It fits with or without. It comes with the piece. I use it as you can see with the scratches on it.

I plan to gel coat carbon fiber cloth using the clear plastic back piece when I get some without flaws. Stronger and definitely better looking in end but at mercy of local hobby shops and their supply.

TPU is between hard plastic and silicone. It's perfect actually, it's not a hard case, nor is it soft and sticky the way silicone is.

i got one of the mesh cases from ebay china location. was perfect. snaps on. has a rubbery feel and doesnt interfere with the usb or headphone plugs. not the greatest for protection drops.. but allows me to hold the phone in my hand better..

I just use a rubber back on mine: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006ECAMY2/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Works great, feels great. Doesn't slip out of my hands and adds a little thickness. I also figure it doesn't attract to much attention which is good.
I have dropped my phone on cement once or twice as sometimes I get sloppy and it works great on protecting it. LOL!

On T-Mobile.com they have one to.
Hi everybody,
Here you can post your experience about the slippy grip of your mobile (especially N7100), and how you've got rid of it; either with using special casing or without using any casing.
Thanks for your participation.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
I didn't. The Note 2 needs to be slippery for me so it can slip into my pocket.
I tried to use casing, but itmakes mobile looks bigger, also I removed the chrome from the bezel thinking it will help, although it looks more fun to me but still very slippery. I'm searching here and there, the only reasonable solution is to replace the battery cover with one like Note3 battery cover, but it's not available in markets in my country, I have to go through ebay or amazon

If you're willing to try; you could spray it with Plasti-Dip http://www.plastidip.com/
It will give your phone a rubbery/grippy feel, but is easily removed if needed.
You could either spray the battery cover with it, or also spray the bezel as well for ultimate grip.
I use an Imak Cowboy shell case; it has a really nice/grippy texture and adds very little bulk to the phone. You can pick them up for $10 on eBay.

I find the Ringke Slim case adds a nice level of grip, or rather adds a non slippery surface that's grippy enough. It still slips effortlessly in and out of my pocket. Also it really doesn't add any bulk at all. Try a search and I'm sure you'll see some photos.

took your advice. put plasti-dip on the back cover and its freaking amazing. no more slippery note 2.
i had ordered the 'leather' back cover but that didn't provide any grip. plasti dip is amazing.

Scotch Brite scouring pad might do it.
I recall people using that method to give a 'matte' appearance to the GS2 plastic bezel.
