KLD Charming Case (Magnetic?)

He guys, I found another leather flip case that seems really nice. I like the colors but wish there was a blue similar to the Asus Nexus 7 cases.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLD-Ultra-S...702452?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2c690824f4
The one thing that concerns me is that it is magnetic. Is that safe? I found a video of the case(s) on youtube.

I really wanted one of those as well but being magnetic is a no go.

Besides being magnetic, they seem to be the all around best flip cover I've found (besides the Official Samsung Flip Cover that haven't looked at.) Nice colors, good design, appears to be good quality....... Guess we'll have to wait for something else.

I received this case the other day and the quality and feel is excellent. It is a beautiful case. I'm going to give it and try on my Note when I receive it. I like it better than the official Samsung flip cover.

Any feed back on the magnetic case being safe. I am getting my note 11\1 amenities want to order the case ahead of time. So far I am liking this case.

Safe? Well, it's not going to damage anything much, but it WILL screw with the S-Pen, and render the compass completely useless.

Ive got the case and been using it the last few days with no ill effects what so ever!!!
The magnet is next to the front camera and doesnt screw with the S pen at all. ln regards to the compass I cant comment as l dont use it (l dont think)!!!
All in all a really nice solid case - no complaints so far.
ps - went for the black and beige one - looks smart!

The case is safe. Smart covers for tablets (N7, Ipad) contain magnets. That is how they automatically wake up when you open them.

I bought this aswell hopefully there are no side effects. I plan on installing a landyard in it aswell. The note wont fit in all my jeans pockets ; p

I see now. It looks like butt. At least the colors do.

Ok I just bought it as well the black one as it looks beautifull and it has a kickstand feature what more do you want from a case all for a super price delivered what are you waiting for guys?

I have this case in black and I absolutely LOVE it.
It looks amazing, isn't bulky and the materials are top-notch. The phone doesn't move a millimeter. I haven't used the pocket yet, but I think it's a handy feature.
The magnet is a plus for me. It hasn't caused any problems.
I didn't want the official case, because it's made of the same chintzy plastic as the stock back - which I don't like at all.

FYI I have a brand new one of these cases available for $15.00 shipped. I'm located in the US so shipping will be a lot quicker than China. Please see the thread below for details

I'm looking at this case too and have a couple questions.
Does NFC still work?
What is it like to text and make phone calls on it?
Do you think it would still fit in a car mount with the back cover flipped around?
How easy is it to take in and out of the case?

I will NEVER use a magnetic case on my devices.
Very expensive device + magnet = prone to damage.

What would a magnet do?

You ever use the OG Droid? Both the car dock and desk dock used magnets. Magnets are fine with these devices

I doubt a low strength magnet would have any negative effect on the device.
I ordered a wallet case with a magnetic clasp and initially I was worried about dead spots on the screen. Having received the case and seeing how laughably weak they are (just enough to hold the front panel shut, absolutely no more) I'm not sweating it at all.
I'm eagerly waiting for the FedEx guy now, but I'll report back and tell of any issues.

Gameklip is now offering 2 models only. One for the SG3 and a universal one that attaches to a case for your phone with a 3M adhesive strip. They have cases for the Note 2 for $2.95, it's a generic TPU type. The wireless model plus case plus shipping to my house came to $21. The case attaches permanently to the klip so you will have to switch out any case you now have each time to use it. I have the Samsung protective case that slips off an on easily so I decided to go ahead and get the universal "case mount" since I would have had to take it off anyway with the old style system because it fit the phone too tightly to use with a case anyway. I will report back on the fit and quality once I receive the package.

You would have to take off any case anyway because the versions made for specific phones fit too tightly to allow you to place the phone plus case into the klip. You can't expect an option for every phone/case combination. If it fits tight enough to hold the naked phone securely it won't accommodate the phone plus case.

3M adhesive strips are way more reliable than sticky tape. Automomile manufactures use it to attach heavy items to vehicles that are subjected to much greater stress than you will ever
subject your phone to (unless you plan on throwing it when the game gets frustrating). Just clean the attachment point with alcohol before applying and you won't need to worry about it coming off under normal use.

I actually think it will look better than the plastic arms wrapping around the naked phone. This way the case and phone will be appear to be an integral part of the device rather than an apparent add on. Also, when I was thinking of ordering one like the original I worried that those arms, being made of rigid plastic and fitting tightly enough to keep the phone from dropping out, would eventually cause visible wear on the phone's body with repeated insertions. That should be no problem with a soft flexible case. Additionally, on the theory that the phone will eventually be replaced, it will be possible to remove the case and fit one for the Note 3, 4 or 5 to the device with a new adhesive strip. All in all it appears to be a pretty clever one size fits all solution for the multitude of devices in the market. I got notification that mine has shipped so I will soon have a better idea of how well it actually fits and will report back.

You make a lot of valid points let us know how you like it.

If you bought one for your original note that WILL WORK! I shoved my note 2 in it to see and it was way to strainful, so I decided to take a lighter to heat one side up to let it adjust to the longer phone, not it fits in perfect nice and tight and no issues at all!
Notice how the right side is angled a little, I can still shake it around and everything and its very sturdy still

Best car vent mount?

I do an awful lot of traveling, which means an awful lot of rental cars. At home I use a Pro-Clip system for my Note 2, but haven't found anything that is easily packed and easily transferable from rental car to rental car. I would rather have a vent mount solution than a "windshield suction cup" or a "weighted bean bag that rests on the dash".
Anyone have experience with a solid, small, easily-packed vent mount/clip that will accommodate the Note 2?
Thanks in advance.

I have one that mounts into my CD player slot. Universal and works wonderfully. About $30 on Amazon

Looks good, but a little bit bulkier than I'd like. Ideally it would be something that fits easily into the outside pocket of my computer bag with minimal fuss. I hadn't thought about a CD-slot holder, thanks for the pointer. I'm not sure it's a workable solution for me, though, as not all my rentals have a CD slot in the dash. I'm almost tempted to grab a couple of design engineers and put up a Kickstarter for something sturdy that folds credit-card thin and hooks into the vents. =)

I use this mount as well and love it. No vibrations, and it fits the phone with my flip case on it. Also holds the Note 2 in landscape as well. The price is perfect but I would have paid twice as much for it.

Invent car mount

I recently bought a car mount for my note 2 which fits in the air vents of my car, from 'invent'. Despite what they said on the web store, it does not fit my note 2, so I get my money back, no worry about that. But does anybody know of an alternative that will fit the note 2? I specifically want an air vent solution, so others will not do.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Isn't the phone a bit heavy for venting? Any vent mounts I've ever used cause the vent to roll down and put the phone at an awkward and unusable angle.

No need to re-invent the wheel I have been using for years Arkon Mega Grip mount and been using it for the last year with my Note 2 (also Slim Grip Ultra works great, check it out in my review, in my signature link below).. It also comes with a very sturdy air vent mount. Though I don't use it in air vent, sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for: http://arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-windshield-vent-mount.html
What's totally cool with it, it has universal ball-joint mount so you can use it with other mounts as well.

IOTTIE! it's 10, better than any other mount and it will hold many other phones too. It's universal but sold as for the note II and s4. It'll fit most big phones.
You can stick it anywhere and it won't fall, you can also rotate it completely in any direction you want.
It's not vent mounted, but why do you want that? Theres a million better places for it.

On their site you can just select type of your phone and your car and the configurator will find all versions they have for your combination.

iOttie is good, but doesn't work well at all with Zerolemon battery. Trust me, I tested and reviewed them all (check out my signature link). Slim Grip Ultra is the only universal that fits everything up to Note 2/3 and 7"/8" tablets and it will hold a heavier phone even with ZL battery.

I have been using the iBolt xpro seems OK although the springs seem a little strong.
I am looking at some off the wireless chargers but not seen and that look right for landscape use.

I use iMagnet, the edge can stick without any needs for the metal plate, but I use slim ringke case, for thick case I think you'll need to attach the metal plate.

Don't just assume things... and then comment. This is how misconceptions gets spread.
A magnet doesn't have any major negative impact on your phone. The worst it could do is screw up your compass if you use an app that needs that function.

The Edge will stick with the iMagnet you say?

I find that mounts with side grips makes it harder for you to access the screen edges since it curves.
I'm using this one:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/arkon-slim-grip-sm514-universal-windshield-dash-in-car-mount-p35798.htm
Good quality and it clamps the phone from top and bottom so that your edges are free. I initially bought this for the Z2 since side clamps can disrupt button presses.

It is, even with Ringke Slim, it's pretty sticky enough, I guess something inside the edge is made of metal, right in the middle of the body.
