I don't know if anyone saw it but there was news of this magnetic macro lens being used with the evo (http://www.goodandevo.net/2010/06/review-magnetic-macro-lens-for-htc-evo-4g.html and also on engadget). I found the lens here: http://mobile.brando.com/prod_detail.php?prod_id=03578
would this or any other cell phone magnetic lens work with the incredible?
EDIT: OH MY GOD I CAN POST LINKS! (how?)
pretty impressive. i want one.
edit- for 10 bux, im ordering one
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14953
our lens is 13mm right?
good question, i have no idea. anybody know?
I think it is, but im not sure yet so i havent ordered yet. lol
Let us know if it works out, I want to order one but dont want to be the guinea pig lol.
me either but ill prally order one anyways. i think its the same camera as the EVO
I ordered it from DX last week. I was hoping to have it this week, but it has not shipped. I will post a review when I receive it and have a weekend to play with it.
woot, a guinea pig!
looking forward to a review. im sure itll fit the incredible and work fine though.

Have you received your's yet?
I bought the 2x zoom and the macro/wide angle combo listed above. The zoom and wide angle are useless because the effect is so minor but the macro looks pretty cool. My experiences so far mirror the Evo review already posted.
Got mine last week. Works nice enough for 10$ I suppose. The macro lens is the real reason to grab it though.
Hey,
I usually post in the Nexus S forum, where I review cases (done quite a few now) - I picked up a tab last week and was just wondering if anyone would be interested in me posting reviews here as well. I usually allow people to suggest cases as well!
Just seeing if enough people are interested since tab isn't that new.
Thanks!

Yes I am, because I'm looking for a new case for my Tab
Ef-c980nbecstd
I have this case except for one thing, mine has a flap to cover the front as well.
http://www.google.com/products/cata...=X&ei=zjrKTZa5J8rZ0QGq3ZznBw&ved=0CE0Q8wIwCA#
model number is different, mine in EF-C980NBECSTD, which, when I google it, gives back no results. ..... now it does! http://www.spotit.com.au/buy/80133_GALAXY_TAB___KEYBOARD_DOCK_EF_C980NBECSTD.aspx
mine is also made is korea, better than china, my opinion.
Yes, I've been on the look out for a case with a keyboard as well.
Could you review this one please?
Most of the customer reviews are giving it a one star which is very harsh I don't like the other similar one as much, it relies on a magnetic flap to prop it up. Doesn't look as good

To be fair, it only got one review.
I'm trying to find some for the Zenu case, They are pretty expensive and the only Youtube review is in Spanish. You can find them on Ebay and Amazon, there is several options on color and material too.

Yea, but what i meant were, other products with this case (you know those case + screen protector combos etc...) also got 1 star
Thanks for the help guys.
Title pretty much says it all, I know our phones are pretty durable, but I am not going to try and scratch it up anytime soon, the only "tough/rugged" case I found so far in the US is the casemate one, any other suggestions folks? and yes I have poured over this whole area reading it over.
Thanks

I have taken a look through the 2nd one before, thanks, the first set looks too flimsy for my roughness, I guess I'm used to the oversized otterbox's etc
if you're used to very hard wearing cases then atm no.the case mate seems the only proven rugged case.
apparently otterbox are working on a case bit who knows when that might come out.

I have the ones in the 2nd link you posted, and they do work pretty good considering. I placed the metal/adhesive ring on my battery cover and then have my UAG case over it. Whenever I decide to use the lens', I have to remove the UAG case prior to placing the lens on.
The first link is only telescopic, so if you want other options like wide eye or macro, then go with the 2nd link.
In either case, you will have to remove your case (if you have one on) prior to using either type of lenses.
Toast is laser cut and handcrafted from sustainably grown, North American hardwoods, back by high grade adhesives from 3M. The hardwood veneers used are just shy of 1mm in thickness, so they add protection, grip, and gorgeousness, while retaining the sleek profile of the device. Easy to apply and remove, Toast will never harm your device, nor will it leave behind any permanent residue. Get a design or custom text "Toasted" (laser burned) into your cover for only $5. We'll even work with you to create a custom cover with your own design; just upload an image file and tell us how you'd like it laid out in the order instructions. Our customs designer will email you a rendering and work with you to get it all dialed in prior to sending it back to production for crafting.
We've been doing this for almost 4 years, and still the only ones wrapping devices in 100% wood. No plastic, no bull****; just real wood and leathery goodness, handcrafted with love in the USA.
Thanks for checking us out, and please let me know if you have any questions!
Very cool idea, only concern I can think of would be the wood covers in humid climates. I will be looking into this further tho. Thank you.

Our 3M adhesives are amazing, and we actually use different ones depending on the materials of the actual device. We've been shipping internationally since day one, and to some of the most humid climates in the world. Rest assured, it will never be an issue.
Website?
I have some concerns about this skins. As you said the adhesive is different and I saw that for removing it we should use a hair dryer. Back plate of the N5X looks like a little bit naive. May you guarantee that this skin won't damage N5X's back if I want to remove it?
Sounds interesting! Please post some pics when you have the 5X version ready! Send one to me if you want an honest review as well!
I too would love to be able to review one of these skins... I dropped you a pm about that last night, op.
I had never heard of Toast until last night, and I spent a good 2 hours on youtube checking out all the phones that it has been made for with all of the colors and optional patterns & etching. Extremely neat stuff.
Safe to assume the 6P is soon to follow? Any chance of leather for both devices? Inlay? Custom etching?

We're getting the 6P all dialed in right now, and we'll commence Toasting next week. I'll be sure to let you know when they're up on the site.
Both 5X & 6P are part of the Inlay Series as well, and we offer custom etching on everything.
As for leather, we determined that it's going to take a lot of design work on these guys, so we're holding off until more requests start coming in. I've added you to the list, and I'll be sure to keep ya updated!

Hitting the cover with a little heat from a hair dryer will help release the adhesive and it will come off with ease. If you do not do the hair dryer trick, there may be a little bit of adhesive left on the device, but you can literally roll it off with your fingertip. Rest assured, the OEM back will be exactly as it was prior to Toasting. We've covered countless devices without issue, however we would gladly replace your phone if it's damaged in the removal process.

Thank you so much... but alas I really do not have any formal review site or channel. Maybe in the near future though, so maybe I can take you up on it for future iterations. My reviews would be pretty much limited to a few message boards such as this one.

Thank you for your quick response. I also want to be informed about durability. But I need an honest and objective response. It's wood so how durable is this skin? I don't mean protection.

Toast is built to last, and it ages gracefully. We use high quality hardwoods that receive 3 coats of a hand rubbed finish to protect from the elements. If it takes a hard hit, the wood may show a little scuff or scratch, but it looks natural. You can also apply a tiny amount of olive oil and it'll blend right in, but I personally prefer the worn look.

At least for me, durability, as far as cosmetic looks go, wouldnt be an issue. I love the look of aged wood. Love the idea of making my phone look like something carved from an ancient forest, transported back in time and now just rediscovered.
