Metalic Aluminium Case, Any good??

There are plenty of seller selling this type of Aluminium case, just would like to know if anyone had tried it out, and if its any good, thanks!!
Here is the link, http://search.ebay.com/search/search.dll?from=R40&_trksid=m37&satitle=x7500+metal+case&category0=
I have bought a leather case which I liked the build and quality, but the magnetic keyboard flap wont 'Attract' my keyboard,instead, it 'rejects' my keyboard! which I quess they sticthed the magnetic meterial on the 'wrong side', rendering my case unusable with my keyboard.
So if anyone tried these metalic case b4, please advise if they are any good, and most importantly, will it 'rejects' my keyboard??!!
Thanks in advance!!

Purchased my phone with one, the only fault i've seen with it is that it doesn't have a belt clip and the closed display screen sometimes gets out of alignment with the magnet of the keyboard. It's to each their own, because the same 9.99 leather case with display screen works fine for me. Except for the fact that I had to change the belt clip for a stronger one because the original one broke after 5th day of use. Clips were bought from @T&T store for 5 bux USD. Those metal cases make the phone just a bit too bulky and unable to fit in my pocket so I went with the sub display screen case as my number 1 pick right now.

is the metal case bigger than the one it comes with?

Yes it is and thicker too.

well that sucks

does it at least slip into the pocket easier?

Do you see any noticable loss in signal for GSM? I would think with all that aluminum over the antennas it would block a lot of signal.
G

no change in signal or service, works fine.

anyone have some pictures of their own metal cases?

I got one the other day. Very disappointed. The hinges are made of plastic and gives the case very flimsy cheap look. Just my 2c

yea good case, but i found that my sat nav feature doesn't get as quick of a lock some days depending on weather as when it was in the leather case. subsequently i've gone back to the leather case as yes there is a noticable loss of signal for sat nav, as well as 3g if your not right near a tower

Sinjimoru Sinji Wallet Pouch Review + Pics

Hello, this is my first review of any thing. It is on the sinjimoru sinji adhesive wallet type pouch available on amazon here :
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005ZVVJ1I/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8 . It is about $10 USD.
I originally bought this item because I didn't really have the need for a wallet (I only carry a credit card and ID). Being able to combine my phone and money seemed very convenient to me. It arrives in pretty plain packaging and is very easy to install, peel the plastic attatched to the adhesive part and apply.
At first, it worked great. It looked smooth, and had a very nice deep black color. It felt sturdy and was very stuck onto the back of my phone. It could carry a whole spare anker battery a little snug and a few cards plus some earbuds with ease.
2 months later, here I am. It has discolored and turned almost a navy color. It has gathered a lot of fuzzy little material now and looks very unattractive. It is even ripping at a seam. It still does it's job of holding things and is still very sticky to the back of my otterbox commuter.
Overall, I would rate this item a 2/5. It looks great at first, and does it's job, but becomes very ugly after a month or two. I hope my review helped. I would not recommend buying this product.

I don't have a long term use experience with Cosmos 3x of adhesive pouches I got from Amazon ($5.99 for a pack of 3), but I decided to apply it in a different way inside of the holster. Here is my setup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39174277&postcount=45
Will start using it once it gets warmer outside and my winter jacket is off I figured pouch itself will not be in contact with my pocket, so less wear'n'tear!

Any thoughts on putting the Sinji pouch (or similar type of stick on wallets) with a bumper frame case? I'm thinking the bumper frame lip will help recess the Sinji pouch nicely.
Put this directly on the back of the phone.

Use a bumper case like this that has no back

[Case] Targus Safeport Rugged Max Pro - Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

I have a number of Galaxy Tab 3 10.1's in an enterprise environment that isn't kind to electronics. The GT3 10.1's work great and are cheap compared to other devices or even the more defacto enterprise hero, the iPad.
The problem I've had since getting a hold of the device is getting ruggedized cases for it. I've tried the Gumdrop rugged case (and probably should post a review thread of it) but I wanted something more serious looking and less like the tread of a tire. That's where the Targus Safeport case came in.
I'm pretty sure these things aren't technically sold by Targus in the US. I've found them on their official EU site but they don't sell direct. I bought 11 from Buy.com recently for about $65 a piece. They float around the internet on a few sites, although I probably hope none of you buy them since I may need them all.
The case is pretty beefy and has a built in screen protector. It's rated for a 4ft to concrete drop rating (which I'm positive we'll test in my environment). It lists wind, rain, and dust ratings although I'm skeptical on those just based on the hole for the home button in the screen protector.
It's a 3 piece case with a rubber inner shell, the snap on screen protector, then the hard exterior shell. It has covers over the headphone and power ports. The IR port is opened but sealed with a material similar to the screen protector. All the buttons are appropriately raised and seem to function just as well as when they were uncovered. The speaker grills are on the front and covered with a black fine grill mesh to probably keep that dust rating. The giant hole in the back is covered with the same material as the screen cover. I'm guessing Targus must have a connector that snaps in the circular hole. I think I've seen the same hole on the iPad case they sell.
Overall I'm happy to find the case. I'm worried it's going to be hard getting as many as I really want. So I'll probably be begging Targus for a bulk order or buying every last one on the Internet.
If you have any questions about it please ask.

Artech 21 Rugged Case Review

I was provided a case by Artech 21 to test, here is my review:
If you're looking for a rugged case that will protect your Note 5 from the bumps and falls of everyday life, this case from Artech 21 will get the job done. At just under $10, it does it for a fraction of the price of most cases out there as well.
I chose the orange case to go with my gold Note 5, and it compliments my phone very well. The case follows the design of a few others by snapping into the front piece, then the back piece goes around it. The front does have a built in screen protector. I have a tempered glass protector on my phone, but functionally was not affected, including that of the S Pen. Access to the S Pen with the case is also fairly easy, while still providing a good amount of protection around it.
One thing I noticed about this case that others don't seem to have, is an indentation below the home button. This makes unlocking the phone very easy. This is done while still providing a full lip around the front in case of a fall. Another thing I really like about this case is how well the port covers stay in. This is nice as I have wireless chargers and Bluetooth earbuds, so I don't use the phone ports. Wireless charging does work with this case (official Samsung charger), as well as Android Pay.
The back is a hard plastic, with rubber around the edges to wrap around the side of the phone. The grooves on the sides provide excellent grip. The back of the case shows no wear after several days use, including a camping trip. This is more than likely due to the fake rivets/screws on the back that the case sits on. The one thing I would change with this case would be to have those rivets/screws made of a more rubber material for slightly better grip to the surface. The case, even as bright as it is, does affect the camera, even with the protective lip.
Overall, this was my first experience with Artech 21, and they left me impressed. I will definitely look their way when I decide to add to my Note 5 case collection in the future.

Review: LK Ultra [Slim Thin] Scratch Resistant TPU Case

Today I received the LK Ultra [Slim Thin] Scratch Resistant TPU Case. My initial impressions of the case are very good. The case fits very snuggly and adds noticeably less bulk to the phone compared to the Tudia Ultra Slim Arch case I was using previously.
Pros:
- All the cutouts are spot on and the headphone jack has enough room to easily plug in both sets of headphones I've tried (OnePlus Icons, Beats Studio).
- The front lip of the case hugs the edges of my Pleson tempered glass screen protector perfectly, leaving no gap around the edges.
- The back of the case protrudes slightly above the camera, providing more camera protection than the Tudia Slim case, which was flush with the back camera.
- All the buttons provide plenty of responsiveness and have more of a "click" than they did in the Tudia case.
- Due to the slimmer design, the phone feels much better to hold in this case than the Tudia Slim case I previously tried.
Cons:
- As you'll see in the below pictures, the front lip of the case protrudes just slightly past the tempered glass screen protector (which is 0.33mm thick). So it's safe to assume that with under 1mm of coverage over the bare screen, this case won't protect the screen well against a fall face down.
- The case has a glossy finish all the way around. While I do prefer the front lip and sides to be glossy, I'd rather the back of the case had a matte finish to it. In the summer months it doesn't make much of a difference but when it gets cold, phones with a full gloss finish tend to become more slippery.
Overall, I really love this case and I plan to continue using it for the foreseeable future.

For anyone curious: Case is literally the same as the Pleson clear. I own this in blue and the Pleson clear.
