Make any case a smart case!!

Found this on Amazon so if you have a case you like that isn't a smart case this seems to be a decent alternative.

Thanks for the link! That's rather expensive considering my case cost less than the magnet Is there any way that I could just buy some magnet strips and super glue them to the case?

ROFLMAO $10 for that??? That's extortion! I think I'm just going to go to my local craft store and pick a few up there, surely they will be a fraction of the cost.

That's not a case, just a magnet.

Does anyone know of nay magnet tape that works? I'm in the UK so anything on eBay/Amazon UK would be ideal.

Currently using magnet tape from an arts and craft store. Costed 1.99 for a yard lol.

Does it work? I know some people are having trouble with certain kinds of magnets like the flexible plastic refridgerator type magnets.
Do you have an IO Nexus 7 or a production model?

Yea it is kinda expensive lol I just came across it looking at TPU cases and I've never seen anyone sell that
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Production model. The case needed to be snug otherwise just layer it to fit. I out 3 strips on top of each other to make a friends case work. It has to be flush with the screens sensor.

PTU case is available from Amazon for $8.99. It look nice, not bad.

Do you know if the polarity is a or b?

I have a roll of 1/2" wide adhesive magnetic tape and tried cutting a piece to see if it would work, no dice. must not be strong enough. I'd be concerned with it scratching the screen anyway, but thought I'd give it a try.

Have a look on the Play Store for "CaseSensor for Tablets", turn any case into a smart one using the light sensor.

I made my folio case a smart case by using a small magnet from a desktop toy i had (has little sticks with magnets on the ends and little metal balls for making geometric shapes), used a dremmel and glues it in. Free and works like a charm! I would be happy to sell some magnets for $10 each.. . I'll throw in shipping for free ;P

I was playing around with a magnet to see which side would matter, and it doesn't look like it's polarity specific.

Loving this one too. If my final decision is the note 2 this will be mine.

They have it at T-Mobile stores. Bought it and returned it a week later. The elastic strap that holds the front closed stretched out really quick and after that the front cover didn't align correctly causing it to look pretty crappy.

Looks like cheap material but really like the idea, this is what the smart case should have been (like in that MOD thread where they take the flip cover and add a TPU to it); esp like the stand feature

Stupid case, bad execution.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2

terrible case - the cover is connected with a floppy piece of elastic fabric, the elastic band to hold the cover is stiff and overall it feels like it triples the thickness of the phone rather than doublet it... pass..

purchased this at t-mobile, returned it. The strap was the deal breaker for me.

Cant you just cut the strap off?

Verizon Housing

Does anyone have a link for replacement housing for the VZW Note 2? My housing creaks on the side and back and I would like to replace it.
Sent from my SCH-I605 using xda premium

Subscribed. I would be interested in this as well.

Won't any note 2 housing work? Be careful when taking it apart. I would just buy the back cover first and see if it fixes the creaking before taking it apart.
Sent from my SCH-I605

I have removed the battery cover and it still creaks. I thought there was a difference between the housings but I could be mistaken.

The battery cover is part of the whole thing. Removing it won't make a difference. If you keep it in its more rigid and less likely to creak.

I would go with an att housing so you can take advantage of wireless charging.
iirc that housing has the cut outs for that feature whereas the vzw housing does not.
as for doing the swap, explore YT on how to vids.

Be careful when ordering your new housing. As this guy found out the hard way they are different depending on carrier.

seen this issue before as a sprint tech, if you have a paper clip or something else small that can fit in the little SIM hole use it to pop out that SIM and then just reinsert it, hope that helps

I had same issue with my phone once and just popped it out and insert SIM card in again and back to normal again.

Hey man, had this EXACT problem yesterday. This is the result of bad sim connectors on HTC's part. The best fix? What they call the "tape fix." Take the sim out (very easy, stick a needle or paperclip in the tiny hole in top left of phone). and put not one, but two pieces of scotch tape on the back side of the sim card. then use a small pair of scissors to cut the extra tape around the sim card. Then put the sim back in like normal. This fix works 100%, I promise you I did it yesterday. Here is a link to a video. Good luck.

Pouch for Verizon Lg g2.

I have been searching to know avail. I am looking for pouch that would fit my phone that I have a ballistic gel case for. I have always had Reiko pouches. I like the build quality and it needs to have a integrated clip or loops for belt. Has anyone been able to find such a thing. I am open to other brands. Thanks for any help.

I ended up buying a water bottle cover at walmart. I'll take a picture tomorrow if you're interested. It came with two loops and a climbing clasp. I just loop belt through biggest loop and gravity does the rest.
I looked at cases online too and am surprised these companies don't offer a 4x7 horizontal belt case. Saw things that almost might work but to be honest this bottle water holder, flimsy/thin as it is, is the best thing I've found. For $3.00

I seen a bunch on ebay, it that is what you want. Sorry no link, but if you look at ebay I am sure you can find a cheap case that will work for you there.

I do understand what you are looking for. There are plenty of those on ebay, all you need to know is the dimensions your phone with the case on it. You may even go to the local cell phone store, find a larger phone that matches the size of your phone with case, then look for a case that would fit that larger phone. I hope that makes sense. I have seen many of those Holster cases for less then 10 bucks.

I have done that. Best buy. Local verizon stores. cell phone accessory stores. Online. Nothing. My phone is the same size as the note 3 without a case. But they only have sleeves. I have emailed several manufacturers and they all have said they will not fit with a case I have. Gonna have to see if they come out with anything for note 3. As of right now there is nothing. If you have seen them. Throw me a link. I have done my homework. That is why I have posted here. That is how this forum works. If you can help I would appreciate it. If not thanks for reading post.

Just found one for note 3 gonna have to try. Really wanted to try one out in person so I can make sure. Gonna roll the dice. http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=251373835232

I had Googled Reiko and that was how I had seen a bunch of them. I have a super sized one here in the house somewhere that I had bought at a Flea Market in Daytona Beach Florida.

When I went to there site I was looking for something for the Lg. They didnt have anything that was definitely gonna fit. Just found some on eBay that had inside dimensions in descriptions. Finally. Order a few different ones to try. One for work which is a nylon version. We'll see when I get them. Thanks

Hope you'll let us know. The water bottle cozy is working but I do get strange looks now and then. The eBay Link you posted looks more professional and protective.

So I received my order from eBay. The three I ordered all fit. With my ballistic gel case. If you are interested I will provide the info. Just let me know. I will probably post a confirmed thread in accessory section tomorrow. Most expensive ones were 8.49 with free shipping. All three only cost $27. Better than the 20-50$ I seen in stores.
