Another Case...and it works.

Check out the below link.
http://navigonusa.com/products/accessories/premium_leather_case_4-3_display.html
I picked one of these up at Radio Shack yesterday, because I am tired of the original case. The Athena/Advantage fits perfectly with/without the keyboard. Without the keyboard it slides in and out very well. With the keyboard, like any new case it is a little snug, but after one day of use, it works wonderfully.
The front flap is magnetized and remains closed. The only true draw back is that there is no belt clip. This will be remedied today by going to the alteration shop and having them put a belt loop on it for me.
If anyone wants some pictures of it in with the Athena/Advantage in use let me know and I'll post. Time to get ready for work.

I agree you need a belt clip and it as eaglesteve pointed out, it doesn't. I am having problems getting the photos I took with the device inside the case posted, but I'm not giving up yet. Darn sony memory cards won't fit into standard laptop sd/mmc/cf slots. Time to get an adapter.

Hey, Just about right
Can you post some picture of the Advantage in this case... Please .. share the love man..

7" case that may work for the A7

I wonder if this case will fit? I may just have to order one and find out.
Link: www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40971
UPDATE: Just ordered one... So we'll see.
UPDATE: Case just arrived. the case is nice and works well. Mine seem to have the right lower strap sown in a little off. The right strap doesn't fit as well as the left. Still I like it better some some of the other options I've seen and for the price I can't complain.
some pics here:
Note the case is a little lighter in color than it appears in the photos.

Sorry, I forgot to add the link. Fixed that.

it looks like it will work but it the headphone and power plug might be blocked

Hoping it will arrive next week. I'll update on how it works.

I also have the case crown case. I'm a freak about keeping the screen clean, and I can see how easy it would be for fingerprints to transfer from the screen to the inside of the case.
I've had it 2 weeks now and have yet to see the imprint on the screen that looks like the lining. Just keep the screen clean before putting it in the case. I keep a silk wiping cloth in the front zipper pocket just for that purpose.

Did you get it Yet? How is it?

Nope not yet.... I didn't ship until Jan 10th.
It may arrive any day now (I hope). I'll have to check with my post office to confirm they don't have it, then contact them to see what's going on.

DealExtreme has great pricing but....
It takes forever to get their stuff. My first order took over 30 days. There was some problems with that order and the second order was placed in November and I just got it last week. I hope you have better luck than me.
Good Luck!
Dale

Well, what do you know.... It arrived today.
Will link pics to the original post.

This is the case I'm using. It is a Targus case at Best Buy. Had to modify it slightly because the power button is covered. I used an Exacto knife and cut a small square to use a stylus to turn the power on. Another small mod I need to do is to figure out how to recharge the A7 without removing it; a slight inconvience but the case is very protective and secure for the A7. High quality leather. $29.99

Apparently the link does not work. So here is a picture of the Targus case for the Nook.

I got my from another site. It's a white case with keyboard. I really love the keyboard design. Really user friendly.

Nicccce!
I bought one and the usb does not operate the keyboard. The keyboard works when plugged into my windows computer so it is not broken.
Any other bright ideas?

I bought a black keyboard case for my A7 tablet on eBay and it works!
My tablet was bought this month and the usb port works with the keyboard case. You have to bend the holders to fit the A7 since it's smaller I'm now waiting to get screen protectors for tablet (using my trimmed my iPad screen protector, will try the Galaxy ones and see if they fit).
I paid less for it - hxxp://cgi.ebay com/7-Case-USB-Keyboard-Epad-Apad-MID-Android-PC-USA-/250786642546?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a640c7a72#ht_5229wt_907

I´ve had the Crown Case since Thursday. Stop the search...this is the one. Fit. look and feel is pure greatness! Side pocket is perfect for spare Micro SD and earbud\mic storage. Perfection!

Experiences replacing the Midframe?

Hi all,
I'm planning to replace my N7105's midframe (the chrome bit going around the sides of the phone), and was wondering whether anyone had any experiences with doing this? I'm really worried that if I take the midframe off, the power or volume buttons may not work on the new one etc etc.
I was hoping to follow THIS guide from iFixIt to do it.http://www.ifixit.com/Guide/Samsung+Galaxy+Note+II+Midframe+Replacement/16407

It should be fine. Just make sure that when replacing the midframe, you put the headphone jack end in first, because it has a rubber grommet that can get caught in between the screen and the midframe if you put it in last.

Dude, it's actually easier than you think. Go for it.

Interesting!!!
Dude ,
I also want to do same.Please let me know the best midframe u find till date with price if possible with link also.
Thanks in advance.

I tried doing it with 2 different midframes and both ended up messing up my WiFi and Bluetooth. Note sure why, all the contacts were connecting. When I went back to the original they both worked fine. Let me know if that happens when you change yours.

I too had this problem when I replaced the midframe once. Later I bought a new one and the problem was solved. You should tighten up the screws near the microsd slot.

Back cover and bumper ?

If you flip over the cover, does it work to support the phone as a kickstand in landscape?

Nope. It just slips and falls over.

Have had the case now for over a day and I do have a few thoughts about it. Purchased at a Verizon store last Sat(none in my area had it in stock apparently) for $48 with tax and 3 day shipping to my home. Color was the grey which I thought went really well with my gunmetal model. Upon putting it on the phone I felt that the fit was spot on. The back snapped right into place and the front flip cover rests evenly on the screen. Functionality of the case is second to none. It works as advertised ranging from being able to see time and current weather conditions to making and answering calls.
Some of the other things that will light up are any incoming text messages and you can also dismiss any alarms that you have set to go off by simply following the gestures. A big question that I had when I bought the case was whether or not that the music playback would be hindered. I'm very happy to report that audio playback was just as clear and precise as if the cover wasn't over the front of the device. Another plus is when you open the cover the phone automatically unlocks and the screen shuts off when the cover goes back on. Thus greatly eliminating use of the top mounted power button.
I felt the choice of the materials for the case were not bad. The rear material certainly doesn't feel like a cheap plastic by any means, but it's nowhere near as nice as the phone's metal finish. The most comfortable way of using the phone for me was to hold the cover with my left hand and use my right to operate the phone itself. Now, I have rather large hands so this could obviously be different if you weren't blessed with such a thing. Folding the front of the case back over the rear proved to be uncomfortable to me. Another downside is the fact that the front cover cannot double as a kickstand when positioning the phone in landscape. When done so, the phone just falls flat on its back.
Overall, I definitely like the case. It has that wow factor to it as everyone I have showed it to have been amazed by it's functionality. The only things that HTC should improve on it is to have the front flap being able to fold back and stay flush on the rear of the device. I also would had like for the front flap to stay open when you open, but the trade off is that when it springs back into position it does a good job of staying over the screen, even in a loose pocket. I noticed no addition use of the screen during the day in Gsam battery monitor. If I were to give it a score out of 10 I'd place it at an 8. Only major cons would be price and certain aspects of holding the device depending on hand size.
I'd have to tip my hat to HTC for coming up with the concept. If anyone has anymore questions about it feel free to ask.

I'm having german t-mobile as well, they told me today that the cases should arrive this week..? but don't know how true that is..
amazon started listing the colored variations today, but all of them are marked as "available for preorder"

any chance you could post a couple of pics showing what the case looks like when open and folded back? All the photos i've seen of it don't show this. want to know how much it bulks the phone out.
cheers

Managed to pick the one and only one of these up from my local Phones4U in Croydon today, then went to the other local Phones4U and bough the other one, looks like they are finally starting to trickle in.

Figured out how to get the case to function as a kickstand. It's simple, but involves needing something else like a laptop or book as a prop. Simply open the cover and fold it over the back of the device. Then just rest the device on the laptop or book of your choice. Then, boom it stays put in place and with the way I got it, the angle is pretty nice for viewing.

Seidio Ledger Case

I picked up a Seidio Ledger Case. Nice build quality. Very easy to get the phone in but a little difficult to get it out. DO NOT grab it by the flip cover while trying to remove it. Tore it just the tiniest bit. Completely my fault though, I was tugging pretty hard. Overall I'm pretty happy with it but it doesn't activate the sleep/wake function on my M8. Is it not supposed to or is there a setting I need to change on the phone to activate that feature?

No setting, probably doesn't have a magnet on the flip cover? Should be one that hits the middle left side of the phone to trigger the on/off when opening/closing. Try it with a magnet and you'll see what I mean.

It's got a magnet on the right side to keep the flip closed. Ran a magnet all along the left side and got nothing. Wonder if it's a rom thing though. I'm running viper rom. Does this phone have the screen on/off magnet feature normally? Never tried it before flashing away from stock.

Where exactly are you putting the magnet?

http://youtu.be/vFYqEiIH-dw Used my pc's webcam. Upside down but you get the idea. Left side about 1/4 way in, half way up the phone.
If it doesn't work for you maybe you need to have the dot view app? https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.htc.dotmatrix

THANKS!. I was putting it right on the edge.
Here is what it did. Used double sided tape and this REALLY thin small round magnet I picked up in a pack at an office supply store. Put the magnet on the screen with the double sided tape on it. Stuck a business card into the car holder slot of the flip and put a piece of tap across the very top of the card to mark exactly where it sits when in the slot. remove the card from the slot and tapped it to the flip. closed the case so that the magnet now stuck to the card. Removed the card, put a piece of tape over the magnet to secure it better to the card and then slid the card back into the card slot. PERFECTION!!
Edit: It will activate DOT VIEW if you flip the case completely over.

Be careful using any credit cards with a magnet so close to them. Sort of defeats a large purpose of the Ledger case doesn't it/

Actually got it because I wanted a flip case and liked how it looked. Figured I could stash an emergency $20 bill in there and a state ID, but I probably wouldn't ever put a credit card in there
