I have a case with magnet to launch/suspend my Nexus. It also has the nice possibility to flip the front to the back. But unfortunately the magnet seems to be sufficiently strong enough to switch even in this position (from the back side). Any idea on how to prevent this? Some "magnetic isolation" from the backside?
Thanks!
I'd need to see a pic of the case really.
However with my old case I snapped the pointy bits off of some drawing pins by treading them in to the kitchen floor & lined them up in a square two across, two down. Then I wrapped it in aluminium foil and put sticky tape around it. Then I stuck the little square between my Nexus 7 case & the back of my Nexus 7. It worked perfectly & I still had the sleep function.
You might just want to replace the magnet with a weaker one if you can get to it easily

@Rock-&-Roll-Hedgehog: I didn't fully understand your instructions. But basically you suggest, that aluminium foil at the back of the nexus will reduce the magnetic field?
Thanks for your answers!

bash off the pointy bits you only want the heads. Lay them in a two by two configuration and wrap them in aluminium foil. I think the drawing pins are made from copper but don't quote me. You buy them at any stationers for a pound or so (couple of dollars for a big box). They then seem to shield the back from the magnetic field.
PS Guntram are you German? You need Reißzwecke, metal ones no plastic.
Thanks for the advice!
I've used the botton of a tea candle now. Still not sure thought, wether its the material or just the "size" of the object - but it works!
Any sort of "thick enough, big enough" piece of metal will diffuse the magnetic field. So your bit of metal from the bottom of the candle was enough. Aluminum foil would most likely work if you fold it enough times.

Doesn't there need to be some iron in there?
Hedgehog's drawing pin solution is pretty clever. Could you tell me whereabouts in the case 'tray' you placed them? Save me a bunch of trial and error by giving me a starting point.

Iron no, metal yes. Actually any conductive material would work.
As far as location goes, try about 3/4 inch up and 1.5 in from the bottom right corner when held in landscape orientation with the USB port to the right and power switch and volume up.

Conductors that are neither ferromagnetic nor paramagnetic have no effect on static magnetic fields... other than changing the distance involved which will reduce the field stregth; otoh a thick hunk of paper or plastic would do the same thing. Excellent conductors (gold, silver, platinum) can effect rapidly changing magnetic fields due to induced eddy currents, but that doesn't apply here.
But don't take my word for it - take two small permanent magnets and some aluminum foil, and see if the Al foil changes how they attract each other any differently than paper of the same thickness.
The poster that used thumbtack heads succeeded either because the additional thickness decreased the mag field below the switch latch threshold, or more likely the tack heads had some iron in them. (Probably not nickel, manganese or other exotics)
A thin shim of Mu-Metal would work, or something ferrous would work too - possibly a shim of anything sufficiently thick would also do the trick.

GoGo Stand
Saw this thread and just had to tell you about my friend's site that addresses this very thing. His nick is Envador, and he's become very well known for his computer case mods. Aside from that, he came up with an idea for a phone/stand and he calls it the GoGoStand. you can check them out at
http://www.gogostand.com/
They fit in your wallet and are literally the size of a credit card.
I have 4 of them.

Great job dude,
I have in my mind something like this, could you please post the measssurements of the base of your coarton dock?
I'm looking for an angled micro usb data cable so I can attach it to the dock and charge it at the same time, also I think I can get it covered with FIBERGLASS and then paintwith some glossy black spry paint..
That's what I have in mind, just need to start with the meassurements.
Thanks for all!

Wire stand variation allowing charging & headphones
Hi all. I decided to make a version of the paperclip desk stand that would allow me to keep the charger plugged in and listen to headphones. You will need:
- 1 plastic coated wire clothes hanger OR ~ 60 cm of coated wire - not too heavy gauge or it will be hard to bend.
- Pliers
- Cloth to grip wire with to avoid damage from pliers
- Paper to put template on
- A ruler and pen
Method: Rule a 29cm line on the paper. Starting at the left hand end, mark the following positions on the line - 6.5cm, 11.5cm, 14.5cm, 19.5cm and 28.5cm. Hold the left hand end of the wire up against the line and transfer the marks to the wire, including the 29cm end which is halfway. Turn the wire, keeping the 29cm mark in line with the end of the ruled line and transfer the marks from right back to left on the remaining ~30cm of wire. Use the pliers to trim the excess wire off the end of the wire. Now, starting in the middle of the wire, bend the wire ~75-90 degrees at the 28.5cm marks - there should be about a cm of wire between the bends. Next, bend the wire into a hairpin bend at the 19.5cm marks. Then bend the wire ~85-90 degrees at the 14.5cm marks. This makes two 5cm "legs" at the back of the stand. Bend the wire ~85-90 degrees back down at the 11.5cm marks. Then make hairpin bends at the 6.5cm marks. Using the cloth and pliers, grip the 4 "hairpins" and squeeze the wires as close together as you can get them. Last, grip the short front ends of the wire and bend them outwards to avoid scratching the phone. Voila - a stand that can hold your HD2 while it's charging (pretend my old iPaq in the pic is the HD2 I used to take the photos )
Note: it isn't super stable, but it isn't intended to be.
Note 2: the other stand is "one I prepared earlier" from an over-the-door hanger. More stable, but doesn't have room for the charging cable.
My new hobby - creative accessories for the HD2
So I decided to make my own book cover...
I bought a hardcover book at goodwill and cut out all the pages. Bought some liner paper at a local fabric store, along with thin cardboard sheets. I cut the cardboard sheets to fit inside the book and covered the cardboard with the liner paper. Hot glued some elastic and long story short here you go:

Woah! You're both very, very good! Time to go into business! I do wonder about the durability of elastic bands holding the NC corners though. I suppose if you get good quality ones and fix them well, they should last for quite a while.
Anyone else with diy book covers to inspire us?

Do yo have a step by step log showing how you did that? Looks great!
That first case is very nice. I came across that layout after getting a notebook at Walgreens that was about the size of the Nook. It protected the screen, but I wanted more than that. I wanted something I could carry without worrying about smooshing and which could be an easel.
I wound up investing WAY too much time getting to where I am, but I like a lot of what I've got.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=537935&d=1299698667
The case is based on a canvas hardbound sketchbook (I just feel wrong killing a book to house an e-reader) and goes from there to build in a wood frame, a strong magnetic closure, and high-friction surfaces (velvet and corduroy) for the inside front and outside back covers to keep it from skidding off when laying down. There's a little velcro "tail" that can be used to support it like an easel in landscape mode, and a seatbelt to help it resist falling over. I'd hate to add velcro to the interior to hold it in place, but it could be done. I'm still thinking about how to do something more like a slide-in channel to really hold the device between the upper and lower posts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=537936&d=1299698667
Total materials cost is pretty high, probably around 20 - 25 bucks. And build time is more manageable now, but it was off the hook when I started, of course.
I'm very pleased with the overall design.
The main thing I like about all the actual book book-based designs is that they don't scream "I have a fancy electronic toy."
Has anybody tried gluing some velcro strips on the back of the nook and on the cover to hold it instead of the elastic bands?
That would totally work. In my case, I decided that I wanted this case not to have that.
The old Handsprings had a manufacturer supplied cover that was very elegant - it snapped into a hardshell with "fangs" top and bottom to protect teh face. To use, remove from the fangs and face out. I had no problem putting velcro onto the cover, then putting that into a nice Body Glove zipper case.

I was thinking of using some double sided acrylic foam tape from 3M. I have LOADS of that stuff at home. But i like the idea of being able to remove the Nook Color. The Velco would be the ideal way to go if you wanted to remove it, however to strong of a Velco and you'll end up bending the card board of the book cover....I think i might end up using the bands to hold it in place and some light duty velco to keep it from sliding around.
I've managed to get hold of a bunch of flip cases that "should" fit the Nexus 7.
Going to attempt to modify it by installing a magnet to re-create the "smart case" idea, but most likely add a few other features like a holder for a stylus, or a channel to run a USB OTG cable inside of the case. I'll post some pictures when I put one together.
Anyone else making their own?

I had no trouble making my own Smart-case. Luckily the way the case was designed I was able to make the magnet flush with the case. Here is a picture.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eyR3u12a7LA&hd=1
I tried making my own case but the problem I have is that once I find a magnet strong enough to activate the "Sleep/Wake" function on the front it is also strong enough to put it to sleep when I have the cover folded to the back. I have watched a bunch of video reviews of the numerous cases with the "Smart" function and they never fold the cover to the back to see if it activates the function while you're holding it in that manner.

I will send you a video tomorrow of it when flipped back. The answer is that it does not turn the screen off when folded back. However it does not fold flush due to the design of the case. kind of a quirk and slightly awkward to hold.

Upon further research I have found that the cases online probably use some sort of "shield" that deflects the magnetic field, such as iron, (shim)steel, or muMetal.
I'm curious, where did you acquire the magnet you're using? I have tried all kinds of magnets around the house and even bought some from a craft store with varying strengths. And it would either not be strong enough or too strong (when using with the case I have).

I cut it out of a stuffed animal fridge magnet. The poor moose didn't see that one coming. I also see these magnets in the magnetized clips you can hang things off the fridge. If you live near a craft store like michaels or jo ann fabrics you could bring yoru device and try all their magnets their :laugh: . But I also had trouble with most typical fridge magnets

Yeah, I tried that at the local Hobby Lobby with no such luck. It seems other people are reporting the problem with cases bought online here and here. I'm just going to see if I can find some steel or something to shield it. Thanks for the help.
Also, I wanted to thank you for that video on Youtube about the OTG cable and PS3 controller working "out of the box". I ordered the same cable as soon as I saw that. Can't wait to play Dead Trigger with a controller.
Try both sides the the magnet. Theoretically it shouldn't matter but I've had different results with different sides of a magnet.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium
Have a small Neodymium magnet barley strong enough to work through the front of the case, then mounted on the inside of the case in the cover. So with the case folded all the way back it is not strong enough to activate the sensor.
I really want to try to make something out of fabric and cardboard. I'm such a ***** when it comes to my devices. Even with cases I always sit them on napkins and coasters haha.
Plus I want something thin that just protects the back and has a thin flap. Nothing fancy just something that doesn't add 3x the thickness of the N7.
Maybe superglue a flap on haha. Stupid Apple and their awesome smartcase. I'm also concerned about a case hindering access to the buttons. They are already a pain to access when laying on a flat surface.

Paying particular attention to the gamepad skin, would this be a good way to protect the pad from scratching itself? what do you think?
I just bought a new white xperia play and don't want the pad to get scratched again. I already have a Trident case to protect the outside of the phone so would probably throw the outer skin away. Oh and yes, I do have OCD

I had one before when I sold the Xperia Play last year, it protected the surface of the gamepad and is durable from light scratches and tears. Yesterday I have bought this exactly product again for the Xperia Play 4G that is coming later this week. The adhesive is sticky but not very sticky upon light touching and can be moved around until you desire the location, it will hold on to the pad but you can melt the adhesive if you wish with a hot blow dryer to insure maximum bonding to the gamepad. This is the only protection that I know that protects the gamepad from scratches made from the screen partition of the phone.
Im currently using the black version of this and ive gotta say, its pretty cool. The only problem is trying to stick it on perfectly at the start. It does protect the gamepad and the back for me(Im careful with my phone:silly , but it kind of makes the space inbetween the phone and gamepad smaller, so when you slide it out, it doesnt 'click'.

Thanks for the detailed explanation. Have you tried taking it off? if so, does it leave any sticky residue or anything else not desirable on your pad?
Is the pad any harder to open and close or is there still a healthy gap? Thanks

Oh really. Is it substantially harder or is there still enough space to make it a healthy fit? Thanks. To be honest, I always thought that the force the pad opened/closed with was unhealthy in itself, so the lack of this happening could be a good thing.
Oh and I just noticed, it covers part of the touchpad controls. Does this affect how they operate?

When I first had the sticker, I have not applied the hot air on the sticker, I should have done so before because the sticker did peel more frequently from the sliding and crinkles, (sticker latches to the screen part and sticks). I did prior modifications like shorten the edge but before I had a problem with flex cable replacement twice (not caused by the sticker) my phone efforts upkeep has made me upset and give up, I removed the sticker number of times and no sticky residue was left. When I get this sticker again, I will use the hot air to melt the adhesive more when it does hit my desired result. As for the backside, the corners will peel out unless you have the phone under a case, then it won't be problem. Again, I have not used the hot air the first time, my experience is varied on a non-hot air application.
No effect to touchpads and i like it cause it makes the gamepad part more "connected" to the phone part.
I got the carbon fiber stickers in the mail today. Here is what you get inside:
Gamepad Carbon Fiber Sticker
Back Plate Carbon Fiber Sticker
Generic Screen Protector
I have already applied the stickers but not the included screen protector as I used the screen protector that I got from the mixed case earlier in the month. I do not have pictures right now as it is late to show you the application of the stickers. On initial thought, the gamepad is a little bit tough to slide in and out, be careful when sliding as always. I already hot-aired my stickers and that should harden the adhesive to the surfaces, I'll make a review next month on how it fairs.
Well i have never been a fan of cases or so, i always normally used my phones naked, because i think im paying the design more than the inner stuff (nobody thinks of it hehehe), but this phone seems to be a bit more delicate than any other so i`ve been searching for cases or bumpers for this beauty and obviously keeping the design and elegance.
i own 3 cases and this, by far, the most that i liked. I´ll give you my opinion and a mini-review, also the link for anyone who is interested on buying it
First, as title says, its an aluminium bumper, but what a quality, its extremely well done and very esthetic.
This is how it comes in, from here you can tell the great quality product

It comes in two parts, and see the cutouts for the speaker grill, usb porting charge, and 3.5mm jack
and now, mounted on the phone, look the details
I picked up this color for a reason, as you can see my phone is the gold one so the bumper red, so i made a waaaaaay cheaper IRON MAN version
PROS:
-well done design made by high quality materials
-inner side has a protective layer to prevent of scratching the phone
-keeps the width phone and the thin edge line
-even i have no tested it yet, i think it will provide a bit of protection to the sides of the phone
CONS:
-to be very aesthetic, does not provide greater protection to the screen or the back, it comes flush
-maybe the headphone jack cut out won't fit all of you, it depends on each one (at least its not a problem to me)
In general, this is and excellent accessory for those how likes to brag the design and at the same time adding a bit of protection, buttons fells very straight, great assembly, nice painting, very sharp lines mimicking design`s phone this "effect" could be achieved even more picking up the same color as your phone, but the red one makes mine the Iron man hehe, but this is not for those how wants to extremely protect your phone
here the link, the price is nice, 10 bucks, free shipping and arrived in about 3 weeks

It is for me, although the sides seems sharp, they are not so, grip is a bit better due to a wider sides, maybe if you hold the phone by placing your pinky finger at the bottom you could feel discomfort only if it's on the headphone jack cutout

Thanks for that, id have to get a protector for the back, obviously for protection and also to make the back a bit less slippy. Thanks.
I can confirm its a great case !

ive had this case but immediately threw it out because i had to bend the left side to get it in and when its all put together its all warped because you have to bend it. and it scratched my phone as well. do not recommend this case at all.
What a pity. Someone recommended this case to me. When I applied this case on my phone. I followed the installation steps listed on their website.So I do not meet your issue.

I had similar experience. Even worse than the scratches, GPS signal is degraded, still functional...but takes longer to get a lock.
