Giving away/Selling some m8 cases - One (M8) Accessories

Hi Not sure if this is allowed, maybe I should read the rules again.. But anyways, I have gone through a few cases for the m8 trying to find one I really like and want to stick with. So now that I have the UAG case which I'm happy with, I figured I could give away or sell my other cases at a really cheap price to some of you who are looking for a case for your m8. First come first serve, preferably free cases to someone who doesn't have a case and actually needs it. Shoot me a message. I'll update with posts below as things go. Will have pics up soon of the ones I'm selling
I have:

I know it's against the rules to sell anything on the forums. But you should be good on the giveaways.
Also if you decide to giveaway the otter box I'd love to have it so I have a super protective option.

U got any more cases
Sent from my HTC6525LVW using Tapatalk

I knew I wasn't "crazy" and alone in having 3 or 4 cases usually for my phones for the particular need I have at that day/moment. Powered cases, hard cases and cases that are somewhat "my children proof". I've had, mm, 8 or 9 Android devices, maybe more and the kids have managed to spill or pour drinks on 5 of them. My 1 year old even threw (literally threw) my HTC ONE X into a bucket of water.. Plop.. HA, oops.. Counting, XOOM can't be mobile, needs to be connected to power to work after water spillage on it. 2 Nexus 7s (2012 models, my 2013 model is hands off) don't have working USB plugs now, but I can charge them via the dock and POGO pins. A Samsung Galaxy S was water damaged, wifi doesn't work, forget if sim card works. Some motorola phone that was given to us was stepped on and yet again, water spilled, for some reason my kids love mixing water and android devices. Yet they can spend 'a good time' using them for Youtube and kids games, 2 + 4 year old are their ages now. Have been Android user since 1 + 2 respectively :good:
I've only got the case that came with the international M8 and bought some ebay HK "genuine leather" case that will let me put it at various viewing angles and fold up like a wallet/purse thing so I _hope_ that manages to keep my kids at bay. May this phone be the first one that doesn't go for a swim! Oh, I hosed my LG G2, 'somehow'', use FreeGee to backup EFS, tried a particular radio, no good, did a 'simple restore'. Phone was hosed, EFS was corrupt or dead, or whatever. It was giving boot loops, constant reboots once in ROMs that worked, no wifi/sim.
I finally have it at a state, it is in either a LG or KK ROM as I want, 20 minutes to restore JB Stock ROM or so, and upgrade if wanted, but no radio/sim/wifi which sometimes reboots. I'll play with it if and when I finally find myself not glued to the M8 at any true spare time (No kids, not on motorbike, not doing stuff with tablets or PC). Hopefully, August, heh heh heh.

[75% OFF][Screen & Full body protectors][PIX] XtremeGUARD SALE sitewide

EDIT: NOTE(s): When you receive these they come packaged in a generic mailer envelope, nothing fancy, no retail packaging. Important, the packaging may contain "black specs", make sure you rinse super thoroughly before attempting to install or you will get these stuck under the protector and be sad. Once you've got it lined up and installed, let it dry, it may make your device non-responsive to touch. It seems the N7 has very little margin/sensitivity and the liquid impairs electrostatic conductivity and doesn't register touches with most wet application protectors until it's 100% dry. It should work without issues after 24/48 hours depending on your climate.
FOLLOWUP: Here's a picture of mine installed and drying about 36 hours later.

Man, I ordered a screen protector a few days ago for $9 from their ebay store. Now it's 1/3 of the price for TWO...oh well, guess I'll stock up.
Can you vouch for these being good screen protectors? Do they have the orange peel effect or anything?

There is very minimal orange peel with these screen protectors IMO. With these, I have to get it at just the right angle under a light to even notice it on my Galaxy Nexus. They are miles better than zagg when I tried them. I would say they are very similar to xo skins, but cost a lot less. For $3.75, you'll get two of them now. You don't have much to lose .

+1 for less than the cost of lunch at McDonalds you can have two shipped to you.
Most important of all is the type and quantity of the soap you use to install, use as little as possible, as it may cloud, rainbow and or leave permanent gray bubble marks on the protector if it's too strong and left to soak too long. I do not notice any orange peel effect, it's comparable to Skinomi in feel and effect. *Zagg brand has this problem, I still have my Nook Color one sealed in it's pack I was considering using on the N7. Although it only covers the touch/screen portion. Lucky I didn't have to. And it cost me $24.
I will say that it's a matter of personal preference. If you're not a fan of wet install, rubbery feel, loss of some clarity (think semi-anti-reflective) for protection. This may take time to get used to, but at least at this price you can test that.. YMMV
Truthfully I would have bought Skinomi if they would have been this cheap, this is the next best option. IMHO.
Hope that helps,

P.S. I have these installed on my Samsung Galaxy S3, Motorola Atrix 4G and bought some for my Samsung Focus as well. I got a dozen of these for the SGS3 at 80% OFF when it was released. I have installed it on a workmate's SGS3 and will install them on two others once they get theirs.
How would one apply the it to the back of the Nexus which has those dimples?

It sticks. I personally wouldn't bother with protecting the back with a skin, it's really resilient. But I am going to get an ultra thin TPU case once they become available.
Thanks for the information, I bought two for the nexus, two for my new EVO and one for my wife's GSII

Nice, I hope they work out for you as they have for me. Remember if you have any problems for any reason with them, you can contact their customer service which offers you replacement or no hassle refund. I know this as I had an issue with my initial order missing the back portions of the full body and they actually sent me out my replacement order twice and still offered me a refund if I chose.

So the loss in clarity is just that it's a little more reflective, not an actual decrease in vibrancy and color? If that's it, I'll definitely be ordering a few. That's a price for generic protectors and if these are high quality it's a bargain. Either way, it has to be better than the horrible universal one I cut out that I bought at Walmart that I, ironically, paid $15 for.
thanks for the info! I used the code and 2 for 3.75 is great! I've never heard of the company but for that price I'm willing to try them. For my phones I've used steinheil and ghost armor (had it on my gnex but took it off because i like how it looks without it) but ghost armor is clear too. I might put one back on the gnex since i have 3 more haha. either way thank for the info
I purchased few.
Thank you

Hello my name is duglas, I have a tablet addiction..
pciked up two ^_^
Awesome! I picked up several protectors for everyone I know!
I just ordered about 30mins ago one for my Nexus 7 and Droid 3 but the code didn't go through. Sent an email off to them because it won't let me edit the order I hope I can get the code applied cause that would save $13 lol
Edit: Emailed me back super fast and cancelled. This seems like a great company already, can't wait to get the screen protectors (ex. Zagg user)

LuvTab Nexus 10 Case

Anyone have experience with these cases? It looks pretty solid, but states they won't have stock until December 1st. It's also in the UK, so shipping time must be considered. I'm just wondering if it's going to be available somewhere else sooner or stateside!
Kind of digging the white, but I feel like the different color retention tab being visible when looking at the device could be a bit strange.

I had one of those cases for the transformer infinity and have to say I love it! Very protective, good for flat reading, good as a media stand and the materials (in the one I had) were very good.
Negative things I would say is that my transformer one almost fit the nexus 10, so I am suspicious of people passing off old stock as new, and the fit not being optimal for the new device.
Although at that price I might give it a go anyway, as I'm in the UK

These guys are expecting stock this week. I spoke to them on the phone and they are new, just for the Nexus 10 (which is why they don't have them in yet.) No carbon finish, though, which the Nexus 7 cases have: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LuvTab-Go...d_Folios&var=580155521327&hash=item416e077518
That looks good, not too thick by the look of it. That is one of my main gripes with a lot of cases i see out there, take a lovely sleek tablet, and then wrap it in a thick bulky case. I can understand it if you are trying to protect your device, but for me, a case is for no other reason than stopping accidental scratches to the screen and to allow it to stand up. There shouldn't be a need for anything over the top.
The only thing i don't really like about that case is the grippers that hold onto the tablet. I would much rather a case with some alternative sleeker method of holding it, it just looks, i on't know, industrial?
found this Bear Motion $3.99 + shipping $4.49, looks similar: http://www.amazon.com/Bear-Motion-P...qid=1353350716&sr=1-48&keywords=nexus+10+case.
i went for one, for that price it's worth a shot.
Please post some pictures when you receive them, I hate these marketing photos, they are never accurate.

Can anyone tell me if these fold fully back when open, for when one is reading? Any idea about build quality?
Thanks in advance!
Sweet, I shall order this too!
Anyone worrying about the magnetic effect of the case? I've read reviews on LuvTab® for Nexus 7
amazon.co.uk/product-reviews/B008FXSC9U/ref=dp_top_cm_cr_acr_txt?ie=UTF8&showViewpoints=1
Some were complaining about the bad magnet, which may damage the compass of the tablet. I am looking something without magnet. Of course I can buy a silicon case or those sleeves. But I want something that can create a stand. And it looks like everything that can create a stand is with magnet.
Seems like this has been delayed for a week or so.
I emailed the seller and he said the delay was only for new order not existing ones and that i should expect it next week
Hi,
Yes, the first set of orders we received will be dispatched as normal. Any new orders will dispatched after 8th Dec
1st December is actually a Saturday so it will be sent after that. Expect to receive the case next week. It will be sent 1st class. Hopefully it doesnt take too long to reach you due to the xmas rush.
Kind regards,

My case was dispatched today since i live in the UK i should get it in a day or two so ill post a video review when i do here
I bought mine from eBay. It finally shipped today.
Mine has been dispatched today too. Will probably arrive in 7 weeks given the state of the postal service!
I've just got my LuvTab case and I have to say I'm not impressed, in design its similar to one I had with the tf700, but the finish on the outside, whilst described as leather, is like a mock carbon fiber plastic finish, is pretty nasty if you ask me.
Will be arranging for a return, as I think there will be better quality options out soon
Just received mine this morning, I'm pleased with it it was exactly what I was expecting. Here is my YouTube video of the case: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zLVukRxkBSY&list=UUIxVHXtT7nfqrYA51b0Xuxw&index=1&feature=plcp

The best thing I ever did for using my phone while working out was get a bluetooth headset. Obviously that costs a little more than an armband though usually lol. I got the rocketfish ones off ebay for like 20 or 30 bucks though.

Sent from the White Monolith: Part Deux
I am a loyal "tunebelt" fan and have used them since I had an HP Ipaq HX4700 about 8 years ago, I have an e-mail into them now asking what they have for the note 2. It will likely be their universal ab85 case but I will come back to this thread if/when I get an armband. i will also follow this thread to see what others come up with.
The items I see on amazon have a lot of plastic-y parts on the arm part, my tune belts have always been all neoprene with a plastic window, not the most "air flow" material. I cant bring myself to use one of these "packs".
Cant wait to develop the "note 2 farmer tan" lol.
I am waiting for my VZW Note 2 and I realized that for my kind of physical activities (Mtn Biking(Dirt Jumping specifically), Skiing, cycling) I am better off busting out my old iPod touch.. I dirtjump on my bike and I have broken 4 phones so far and I have learned my lesson.. I have an old iPod touch that I leave sitting in my car as my Music Hub with ~3000 songs on it that has turned into my "There is a possibility of killing this electronic device doing this activity" Device..
On my phones I use Spotify 95% of the time, but I figure I will just download a playlist of 200 songs I listen to most, on top of my already existing library and call it good.. If I am on the way to go ride, I can just kick up my hotspot and download music to the iPod then (less then ideal, but works)
Pros-
- I dont have to worry about breaking my pretty new N2.
- iPod is about half the size and the battery lasts 10x as long
- If I break my 6 year old iPod, I am not really any worse for the wear..
-Doesnt look like I have a cookie sheet hanging on my arm or in my back pocket..
Cons
- I cant use Spotify anywhere..
- Another device to manage..

HA! large phone joke. too easy. :laugh:
Does anyone else have any input on this? I really want to get a armband for this. I don't care how silly it looks. I get the last laugh while watching movies on my mini tv from my arm lol. I don't actually plan on watching anything but just having it secure on my arm rather then my pockets is what I am after.
i've been using one from ebay, seller named shimshop and the item is called "SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 II N7100 LTE SPORTS GYM RUNNING ARMBAND POUCH CASE COVER" and it works well. the only thing is that the headphone hole doesn't line up exactly with it, but you can simply fix that with a little cut with some scissors, the material doesn't rip more than what you cut, so dont worry about that.
Got this one for $5 shipped on Amazon.

It recently arrived. Shipping took a little longer (2-3 weeks) than expected but it works fine. It's a little tight with a TPU case on so I had to take it out and slip it in bare. :good: The padding is sufficient for me.
17 - 31 days for shipping? Damn that's a bit too long for me.

I too having been scouring retail stores looking for an armband for my Note 2.
I'd love one that has an extra spot for a key, there's so much real estate that comes with a note 2 armband, whats a little storage? The above link looked promising but that's way too long to ship.

I mentioned above an ebay seller who I recently bought my armband from, this armband came with a key slot, my key fits very snug.
I also bought the amazon one that kipghost linked. I bought this one first before the ebay armband. The amazon armband's velcro wasn't as secure as I'd like, but the phone does fit well without any tpu case. I ordered mine from the $0.01 +shipping seller. One problem I noticed was that my volume keys kept getting pushed while I ran, turning up the volume really high or off randomly.

So I ended up buying this one, got it in 11 days, so quicker than I expected. Going to try it out tomorrow.
EDIT: The band popped loose on my first rep at the gym. I can see this thing maybe working for cardio workouts for me, but not lifting. I don't know how big my biceps are but if you buy this and you try it on and only have the end of the strap coming through the loop before finding back over, it's unlikely it will work for you too.

Thinking of picking this one up today. any thoughts on the other ones out there?

"Otterbox Commuter" Mod with a Kickstand

Otterbox offers some of the best protection cases for devices. It rarely incorporates kickstands as part of the main casing. This shows you how I managed to splice in a thin kickstand from another casing. This saves you from carrying those stands so you can watch videos hands-free.
The "Otherbox Commuter" case you see here is an exact $5 replica done by a company called Swisstech in one of their kiosk stores here in Metro Manila. The original Otterbox Commuter cost $70 retail here.

The TPU case with the kick stand actually cost more at about $9!
You can exact the process with the original Commuter case if you want to do this.
This will give you peace of mind for accidental drops but giving you that kickstand function but still as thin.
Here's the video link of the finished case:

That's a lot of work for a single position kickstand. I just attached this kickstand to my case and I love it:

Nah, the point of the project was to really put the stand inside and not be just anything that I put on to the surface of the case. The 3 hours I put into this paid of so that it can still fit into my book hiding place for the Note II.

I've been to the Philippines twice and love it. It's not that it's so dangerous that you will get robbed blindly down the street, it's that items of value are less common, so you could get swiped in the most inopportune times. In the US or other locations, it's more common to see expensive gadgets. There is a lot of poverty in the Philippines and in regions of the world like that, it's very common.
It doesn't suck because you grow up knowing that's the way things are there.
ANYWAY, back on topic. Is there any way to get a Swiss-Tech case online? Was looking and it seems there is no way to get them. I like the price and the difference in look from the "Otterbox".
I'm all for making mods where necessary, but a similar case with a stand already built in seems easier.
This one is $7. My wife and I have them in different colors. They're great.

There's none, as I mentioned. There are even different color variants of the silicone part of this like pink, blue, red, yellow and white.

Ya shipping cost sucks however I was able to get 3 for $13 including shipping with a coupon.
yeah, 4-5 bucks delivered isn't bad, but anything more is silly
Id just go for a otterbox defender case. Super tough case plus the clip on the holsters locks open if you want to become a stand.. on the down side this case does make it a bit bulky but still protects it extremely well. .

Yes, there are reasons why is choose the Commuter over the Defender. One thing is the difficulty of changing the battery and taking out the micro SD card. I'd not be using that holster that much either. Where would I store that? I'm trying hard to conceal the Note, not actually show it off on my waist.

[Q] Tips for going Caseless?

Does anyone have advice regarding going about using the HTC One without a case, naked and out in the world, without utterly destroying the phone due to scratches, dings and dents?
I pre-ordered my HTC One 64 gb on contract and Im considering selling it in december and buying whatever Nexus phone google is offering in november off contract, and judging by the nexus 4, the price point shouldnt be too bad.
My tip is don't !

If you want to go caseless, your best bet is to install something like the Skinomi full body shield. It should provide protection against scratch on the body.
get a clear case/bumper
I tried going caseless for sgs3, n2, and nexus 4.
Random scratches here and there. Not worth it!
So what If it scratches. You won't notice them when the screen is on anyway.
a pouch
I'm with you in that it seems a dreadful shame to cover up such a beautiful piece of design.
Personally my solution is to use a leather pouch - protected when I'm not using it and all it's caseless glory when I am

your losing resale value of the device
Same here, hate using cases for my phones. Went caseless with One X, then S3 then Note 2, Xperia Sola, then 4s, then Nexus 4, then back to One X (I know, I change phones a lot and now I'm planning to get the One ). What I did was buy those full body screen protectors, I used Zagg for the rear and sides, but used the Spigen ones on the screen so that I wouldn't even feel or see any screen protector on the screen.
I sold all my other phones (except N4 and Sola) near the real value I bought it because it still looks and feels so brand new and until now, none of my buyers have complained (I give them an opportunity to test the phones for a week first, if they need help with something, I help them to the best I can, and if they don't like the phone, I give them a full refund, but I ask for a free snack)

I've been fortunate enough to have not dropped my last 3 phones while caseless.
It used to happen when I would get out of the car, so now the phone is either in my pocket or in my hand when I get in/out of the car.
I always have a back screen protector so that the back won't scratch when it lays on the table.
Keys and change in right pocket, phone in left.
Other than that, keep a tight grip!

best of both worlds

It's lovely naked, it's really is, people should have to pay to see it, it's like a peep show!
I'll be getting a pouch very, very soon... until then, I'm holding it like a baby!
This is the million dollar dilemma every time!
I HATE cases, the phone is designed to be held and felt as it is, not with a case that makes it twice the size (some don't I know...)
A pouch kind of helps here, but then if you are using the device and you drop it, I have yet to see a pouch that spots it has been dropped and quickly attaches itself to avoid damage

Everyone saying use a pouch for when the phone is not in use lol. U do know the most damage done to a phone is from dropping it right? You can't drop a phone thats putaway. You can when you are holding it. So pouch doesnt actually make a difference.

It's scratch proof. I have a 1-year-old One X and it has maybe 2 micro scratches on the screen. Almost immaculate and the same as an Xperia on the second day. lol
Edit: Also not sure how could you dent/scratch a phone in your pocket?!

thats only semi true when you are carrying around taking it out from your pocket etc its always in the pouch
but if you drop while using it yes its true
so a pouch is kinda of half protection and protects against the element in pocket/ bag etc
I have one instance though a sharp object went inside the pouch I put my phone on... I'm not sure how many days it has been on the pouch but it scratched my phone like hell. I thought it was dust or something on my hands when it's dirty until I felt it when I was holding the pouch and meh! A little stone made it inside.
I recommend these. They aren't out yet for the One but should be soon. I used them on my One X for nine months and never had an issue. They are wet apply and shrink when dry so tightly that you can feel the raised lettering in the Beats logo. Their shiny though which may not appeal to every one.

A lanyard would be good for preventing drops. Unfortunately, there is no obvious attachment point.
