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.

Skin your Pebble

Found a place with Pebble Skins, ordered one yesterday. Hoping to have it by end of week and will post pics once I have it on.
There are actually a couple of different vendors, here is the one I went with: http://www.slickwraps.com/Pebble-Watch-Wraps-Skins-s/537.htm

Recommended with reservations
UPDATE 7/23: So after working with Pauline at Slickwraps here is the deal. She was great in terms of doing what she could to make sure I was satisfied with the company and their service. I will say they have this part of the operation down once you connect with them. I did have some issues getting connected, but once I did she did an excellent job with follow-up and taking care of things.
After the debacle with the first wrap sent out, she sent me a replacement wrap which camed yesterday. A couple of notes on this. The wrap itself comes with a lot of extra pieces on the paper beyond what is needed for the buttons and Pebble. Confusing at first, but not that big a deal. The video that they provide is an excellent guide and I would also recommend highly watching it a couple of times.
Installing this one went very well, but one thing to be very careful about, the bottom border is slightly wider than the top border of the Pebble, and the Slickwrap does not mark the top or bottom. Maybe an arrow, or T and B on the mount paper would make this more intuitive.
Overall, pretty happy with how it turned out. I think it looks good, and I can see that for the customization of the Pebble it is a great idea. With my different band and face now I know my watch probably looks nothing like what anyone else around me might be wearing.
For the price, a good deal. Just make sure that you take your time, and follow the install directions, and if you are anal about alignment, you will probably find it tedious, but there is a good result in the end.

Good to hear that. Hoping to get my pebble from bestbuy soon.

They also included a gift card for $5 off next purchase in the shipment, which if you count as a discount makes the skin cost about 99 cents.

I picked up the brushed black metallic from gadgetwraps.com... similar to slick wraps. It looks pretty awesome and installed easily.

Thanks, i'm very happy with it! They shipped my wrap with 2 screen protectors. I've had no issues with neither the wrap nor the screen protector. They're both staying put.

Somewhere I saw where someone who had a "skin" on their Pebble pulled it off only to find that the adhesive bonded to the anti-scratch coating on the Pebble's face and started pulling it off. Not sure whether it was on this forum or some other. It made me think twice about putting some skin or guard on the Pebble if it did this to it. It came off in patches and made the watch really ugly unless you scraped the rest of the coating off.
Worried about the finish on my just delivered white Pebble - but not if the protection itself ends up causing more damage!

1). What "debacle"? Did they send you the wrong one or something? I never heard or use SlickWraps, so wants to be sure before ordering...
2). Where did you see the video? I only see, from their website, iPhone installation video.
EXTRA: also, is this a sticker or something that requires water solution like Zagg screen protector?

Can anyone elaborate a bit on the issue described above about glue affecting the protecting layer of the screen? Thanks.

1. The first one apparently was early in their process for making them and there were some quality control issues in the cutting lines and sizing. They have this issue resolved.
2. If you go to http://www.slickwraps.com/Articles.asp?ID=240 and look about the middle of the page there is a video specifically for the Pebble
It is a sticker, so no water needed. Just make sure you really clean your watch first.

I had it for a couple days and I really enjoyed it. The only reason I returned it is because it attracts my German Sheppard's hair like crazy...lol but you might not have that problem. Also, it doesn't protect that much but it sure looks good.

Is there a setting that makes it turn on when you put it on
Sent from my 831C using xda app-developers app

It is not as tight or secure on my phone as I thought it would be. Dropped from a couple feet and the phone popped out of it. I have one of the older gray ones. Anyone else have the same or different experience?

The flap would not close all the way because I already had a tempered glass on the screen. It is extremely hard to use with one hand. I tried really hard to like it because I personally think it looks nice, but had to return it for those two reasons.

I just bought mine today. I thought it was broke at first because nothing happened when I put the phone into the case. I turned off my lock, checked to make sure the app was installed. Then I remembered I have a tempered screen protector on. When I took it off, the case works just fine. I think I'm going to take it back because it provides absolutely no protection at all. It only works with HTC apps: no gmail, fb, hangouts, 3rd party sms apps...nothing other than HTC's apps. It looks good and it's a neat trick but for $50 I saw all I needed to see here.

I do really like the principle of the Dot View Case, however its the effort of one handed operation that is hampering the thing... Its not as if i have small hands either - at 6'3" i have absolute shovel hands and still struggle.
Unsure...

Case sucks

There is a magnet on the left side just above the middle that invokes the dot view graphics. You can try it on your M8 with a small magnet.

Love this case! So unique. Well i am done, you guys can continue nagging now.
Sent from my HTC One_M8 using xda app-developers app

I really like the case and the idea of it, but it is slightly off for me. When it is closed, the case is a few mm to the left, so the dots aren't as sharp and more of a blur. If I push the flap to the right a little they line up perfectly. I don't have a screen protector. Does anyone else have this issue? Possibly a defect?
I don't mind holding the flap to use the phone as the phone is big enough that I pretty much need two hands to use it anyways. I will continue to use the case, but I may end up returning it before my 14 days are up if I don't fall in love with it. Right now the only thing really bother me is what I mentioned above with it being slightly off.

I have no interest on Dot case. And also don't have any one.

sending mine back. it's fun but not practical as it hinders one hand use impossible .

Given the quality of the doubledip cases for M7, I wasn't expecting much in quality. I hope 3rd parties are allowed to do their own dot view. I've only seen S view type cases for the M8 right now.

Flip the cover around the back and one hand use is just fine- it may not wrap around the back perfectly due to the curve, but does not stick out enough to hinder one hand typing, browsing etc, unless you have smurf size hands....

Purchased the Dot View case from VZW originally, wasn't very happy with the Warm Gray color. Purchased the Warm Black Dot View case from the Shop Android part of the site and received it today, its the exact same color that VZW is advertising as warm gray, I was expecting a black case as depicted in the photos, the part numbers on the packaging are different, the VZW packaging has an HTC SKU 99H11530-00 and the Shop Android packaging has an HTC SKU 99H11416-00. I will edit this post with a photo in a little while but has anyone else found a similiar situation or has anyone received the shop android Warm Black case that can comment and/or share a photo to compare the Warm Black color? Thanks! VZW Warm Gray on the left and Shop Android Warm Black on the right...

Anyone interested in buying a case? I bought it earlier thinking I'd like it, but it just isn't for me. Instead of returning it to sprint, I'd rather sell it to someone who's had a hard time looking for one. PM me for details.

I've got it on my M*. Fits very well, adds just the right amount of grip to the back to prevent the phone from sliiping if you keep it in a shirt pocket. You do have to black out the inside of the flash cut out to prevent flash bleed into the cover but doesn't seem to interfere with flash pictures. Can't go wrong for the price.

I've purchased this as well as a few other slim soft-touch cases. I like the cut outs on this one (separation of camera/LEDs, indents for ports) but one thing I did notice about the unit I received that is keeping me from using it is that the cut outs are sloppy and rough. They've got jaggies. I was able to over look some of these but the one that keeps from putting this case back on is the bezel around the LCD. It also has jaggies and was uncomfortable to use.
Perhaps I just got a bum unit, but just thought I'd share my experience.

My case had a very similarly sharp feel. It was an easy fix to use 500 grit sand paper to smooth it over. That took 5 minutes. I'm not sure I would qualify the cutouts as "sloppy" though, as it implies that it doesn't "look" good. It does look good, just don't really touch it, until you've sanded it down.

Zerolemon S6 Edge Battery Case

Just FYI for those of us who got lucky and got an opportunity to test this case and provide a review, check your email. I received my code this morning and it's only valid for about 24 hours. I paid for 1 day shipping and will get it tomorrow. I will update this thread with my review once I'm done with my testing.

Sweet looking forward to your review.
If anyone from ZL is reading this thread, might want to correct your case description on the website:
"We at Zerolemon knows how to make battery right for you. With 3500mAh battery installed, you will get 130% additional power for your Galaxy S6 Edge. With the small battery and big LCD screen in Galaxy S6, you will be glad you are carrying this battery case around!"
Samsung phones have AMOLED screens, not LCD.

I got my email and paid for 1 day shipping as well! We'll see how good they are. I got black, you?

I am excited about the case as well. I just accepted the free shipping so it will be to me on Saturday. Very nice of them to offer up free cases for us to review.

What I noticed about this case also is the bottom edge sits really close to the home button. If you put your thumb flat it dosent even touch the home button. You literally have to go at it at an angle. Feels very plasticy and makes the edge look so ugly

This kind of case with extended battery might be a hot thing few years ago, but now with all these new technology like power bank, wireless charging, new fast charging from Qualcomm in both wall and car charger. makes these old thing obsolete.

I agree but i also think its time for phone makers to start thinking more of new battery technology and less processor and new designs. However. .. my opinion is they will do away with big bulky phones, go with the new flexible screen and cloud service. Same with laptops and desktops.

i forgot to hit one day shipping when i got my code and mine comes Thursday.
i have purchased other items from them in the past and been very happy and not reading reviews here at all yet so i dont go in looking for stuff and its a clean slate in my head
