Anyone have a workaround on this, I have the blue aluminum bumper seems the charger I ordered from amazon (amazonbasics) is to large for the hole, should I tr to modify the USB end or the case or what, any kind of adapter or little extensions? I dont want to lose the data transfer feature of this chord
Dremel/File out the bumper around the USB port.
As tdrussell said, you can dremel the opening wider. I believe another member did that with their case and has pictures somewhere.
I ended up just giving up on these eBay-special bumper cases. Many of them were poorly thought out and not worth the trouble.
i've got two different aluminium bumper cases from ebay and had the same problem.
what i did is separate it into two pieces. then on the bottom piece, tape up the bottom of the port area (so you dont scratch and cut away too much), then take a pair of scissors and cut the bar off the top. i'll attach a pic so can you see what i did.

then you can just remove the tape and colour the exposed metal.
Thanks for the suggestions, Since the bumper case was $17 and the Cable was 6, I went ahead and used some scissors to modify the material around the cable end. Works fine now! I would of cut the case however this cable is the only one I have come across that is effected by the case.

So I wanted a bit of a different look to my HTC casing. However I don't like silicone or other add-on cases, so I went a different route. On a lark I went to Canadian Tire since I remembered they used to have a fake carbon fibre vinyl available (don't ask how I know). However I found an even better one which looks a bit more realistic (and is slightly transparent so when you place it over coloured surfaces the underlying colour comes through).
Wrapped it around my HTC front and back (took the back cover off to do it). Once you lay it on you can use an exacto-knife to trim out the parts you don't want covered. Then used a heat gun to help wrap the edges without wrinkles (that just happened to be on sale too!).
The finished product:

Maybe not everyone's taste but unless you get REALLY close its fairly hard to tell its not an OEM finish (IMO).
I was in a auto parts store the other day and you know what I saw the exact product you used for this pretty cool in my opinion though I prefer the soft touch feal maybe if my phone gets banged up enough I might do this but looks good
I wish some company would release a leather battery cover, or a way to make it all leather. I think it would look very nice
I have the C8O model with the 2 screws missing. After looking at how the Nexus 7 frame is built inside and playing with it, I came to the conclusion that we can fix easy the bezel misalignment by using a set of short and flat screws, instead of stock Philips ones which are too long. The Philips screws we have, will force to center the plate and our goal is to push it as much as we can towards the exterior. Doing this, will force the bezel to pop and secure properly in place the screen also.
This is how the screen hole is aligned now:

With your fingers, press down on the bezel until the screw hole is reaching the left side of the black wall, this is where the screw should be tightened. Because the screw is a Philips shape, that is not possible. The question is, what Philips screw dimensions are used into Nexus 7 and what would be the part for the flat model? If anyone has handy those screws, try it into your tablet: replace the 2 missing screws with a wafer head flat model and make sure you pull the bezel while you tighten them so the screw touches the wall instead of being centered.
For now, just test my theory by pressing down the bezel, you will see how nice it pops on the outside. Honestly, I'm 100% sure Asus will not fix anything in this tablet model, they will only do it into a future model. Changing the design plans is way too costly for them to start from scratch.
Having purchased my T-Mobile GNote2 on the first day it was available in-store (locally, last Wednesday) I didn't expect to find much in the way of cases. Of course the store didn't have any.
So I went to my local tacti-cool mil-surplus store to see what it might fit in.
Turns out our GNote2 is very similar in size to an M16 magazine; the phone is thinner and a bit narrower but close to the same height. This is convenient as there are many pouches made for this popular magazine.

This is the one I got,it was $10
From the top, with the phone in, it fits nicely, probably room for a TPU style case or a bigger battery.
The case came with the bungee cord so I used it to keep the phone in. I'm sure there are some cases that have full flaps.
Lots of ways to attach to your belt/things
The case I got uses the MOLLE system, which has straps sewn in and makes it attacheable to many systems.
M16 magazines are NOT delicate, so there is no lining to protect screens/finishes. And of course this looks military so may not fit in just anywhere. Color options for this kind of military gear tend to be black, tan, green and various camos. Chances are good that Academy will have some kind of pouch, as they sell the magazines, the M16 is quite popular.
For $10 I think this will work just fine for a robust beater pouch. Looking forward to a serious protective case for the phone, I'm sure it will still fit in this pouch, but might be a little hard to get out if it gets tight.
Just adds to the Bad Ass Ness of this device!lol Yes!
Recently I've switched over to the S4 from the Note 2 (gave it to my gf). While I was reviewing cases for the S4 I came across Spigen's Flip Mate case. My gf likes using the OEM Flip Cover, but she drops her phone ALOT. She originally had an S3 and that thing took quite a beating (cracked screens, cracked flip covers, etc). Does anyone know if anyone is selling something similar for the Note 2?
This is what you want...

I don't think that's what he means.
an option is to use a protective cover+.
normally it's not very comfortable when you combine it with an original flip cover, but you can cut a small strip off the left side of the TPU part to give the flip cover a bit more room to flip open.
She could get a case like this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/o/ASIN/B00ATUYE9O?tag=adapas-21 which I was planning on purchasing before I got my extended battery, or she could do what I did previously and get a TPU case (or a case with TPU on the sides like the Samsung Protective Cover+) and cut away the bit that prevents the flip case from moving freely:
(Large pictures, beware )

and you can still fold the cover all the way back:
Hey guys!
My phone started having troubles with the touch (how unexpected right?)
Well, the thing is, when I was gonna remove the digitizer connector cable, I tried pulling the black plastic thing backwards instead of flipping it up.
Reason I did this was because I've repaired a few laptops and they had the type of connector were you pull the plastic thing back to release the connector.
The black plastic thing broke off in half so now I can't securely connect the digitizer anymore.
So, question is, can I get a replacement? I took one from another old HTC phone but it's not the correct one. (Lenght wise is correct, but not with the holes for the pins)
At 1:54 it shows the thing I'm talking about.
Youtube link (imbedded link didnt work)
Also attaches a printscreen of it for less hassle.

The black plastic piece that shows is the one I'm talking about!
Better view:
I don't even know the name of these parts so I don't even know what to search for. Please help me out guys.
Probably best way is to buy a new complete connector and remove the black plastic piece and fasten it onto the phones one.
Kind regards,
Tony
EDIT: Note sure if it's the same, but found this on ebay:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/10Pcs-Clamshell-Type-Bottom-Port-6Pin-0-5mm-Pitch-FFC-FPC-Sockets-Connector-/231679255046?hash=item35f128e206:g:ry4AAOSwHnFV7Psd
Is this the same type?
Nobody?
