Well, I've had my Vario 3 for 2 days and almost dropped it already! A couple of phones ago I had an Imate JAM and got a silicon case for that which worked well. (The Jam in the case took several drops and loads of abuse in pockets full of keys etc. with very little damage.) Now trying to find a similar silicon case for Vario 3 but not sure if there's any about yet? Seen them for the Tytn 1 but none for Kaiser/TyTN2/P4550/Vario3/Tilt.
Also, a further question. Does anybody know of a good mount that will clip onto the bracket in my car and hold the Vario3 whilst charging it. (I'm thinking of a two part solution so you have a baseplate that you bolt to the bracket and a mount that then clips onto this baseplate. However, I also want the flexibility to unclip this mount from bracket and clip it onto a seperate temporary fixing kit (suction cup/vent clip) for putting it into hire cars (With the ability to still plug a cigarette charger into the Vario whilst its in this holder!) Also, of course, the holder should still accomodate the Vario3 with a silicon case on it! (don't want much do I!?!?) However, I have heard there is an issue with some thick silicon cases and holders.
Any ideas on a silicon case and/or holder would be much appreciated.

Has anybody thought of trying to mod the battery cover for access to the micro sd slot? I really hate taking the cover off and would love to be able to eject my micro SD card without having to take the battery cover off. I want to do this because of reported potential cracks that could develop in the plastic frame. I'm thinking cutting a little slot into the edge of the cover where the micro SD is covered.
Has anybody attempted this? Does the thickness of the metal cover give enough clearance to eject the card?
You have enough clearance with the width of the battery cover, but you'll need a very long fingernail or carry around a flat plastic/metal strip to be able to reach the SD card.
Another problem would be that pretty soon your SD card slot will be full of dust/pocket lint
Now, I use Winmo and Android.... and i have two sd cards, one for every OS... Because it is so easy to lose the new microsd cards... I cut the rubber that protects the battery and I put there the second sd card. For me it is sufficiently fixed, and I can carry ever my two sd cards with me.... (I dont use any case, only film protectors....)
I'm sure I'm not the first, but I think someone has not thought about it..
Regards....
Edit: probably, can fit a sd card plus a sim card....
lol
what a cool idea xD
im not using two sd cards, but probably soon xDD
I do that, a lovely tweak
I experimented with including an SD adapter as well, but no room
Guys...you don't need to cut anything for the microSD to fit.
Just put the second card on top of your SIM card. The clearance is sufficient without putting undue pressure on the battery/case/card.
That's what I did when I backpacked through Europe my HD2 + spare memory card for storing extra photos/videos.
Will the heat generated from the battery ruins the SDcard?
It's kinda funny seeing this. I've been doing this since I started running android on my hd2. But I didn't cut the foam and haven't had a single issue... didn't even try down by the simple but I don't want things sliding round inside the battery cover..

And I thought I was the only one..
Good to see other genius individuals in here as well.. Although, I did recently donate an 8 gig card because the card bumped out and got caught on the side seam.. Just keep an eye out.
this is how i roll, no sliding around either

Double sided tape leaves glue on the cards? Or use Blu-tack?
no glue or tape required, just place card and slowly put cover on hd2
Excellent idea, thought of it just couple of hours ago but thought maybe it wouldn't fit. Gonna store my 2GB card there w/ copilot on it, for whenever I can't use Google Nav.
thanks for the trick. its a good idea to carry extra stuff in the back. im now looking for the cushion in the middle to put in my mugen extended battery back. there is no support inside so everything will slide around and get damaged. just for a temporary fix, i might stuff it with some bounty lol. picts when i find the cushion strip.
sdcardolder.com Has the coolest MicroSDHC card holders for around $7USD. the size of a credit card, it can hold 10 MicroSD cards and a SD to micro adapter. Multiple colors and even a hole for a keycain/lanyard. Now that Dalingrin has the video working so slick on CM7 this could be a helpful item for juggling cards for video.

This is a very interesting design. Right now i have 3-4 micros in their own cases with adapters in my back pack. The design worry's me, how well does it hold the cards id be afraid they would fall out.
I'm with the previous poster. Looks like it would be too easy to have a card slip right out on accident. Otherwise, I'm always looking for a better way to hold my cards than the 4 different boxes I already use.
the site mentions that center tab on each slot...think it is supposed to act as the retention mechanism.
ya i saw that, but im still a bit weary. if you buy it let me know. if it holds them well, and does not feel like it will get loose with age i might be game to buy it.
Yeah..gonna buy a few cards and one of these soon...got the call to go back to work Monday...yay money!

I bought one of these a few weeks ago to keep track of my growing supply of uSD cards. I can attest that it's very handy and size-efficient.
I can understand the concerns that the cards may fall out, but the center-tab latching mechanism seems pretty secure, as it is reinforced on the underside. I actually bought 2 other models (one to hold multiple SIMs and one to hold multiple full-sized SDs). They all work as expected and I'm pleased with the purchases.
Other than this model, I haven't seen anything which holds a large # of uSD cards in a small space.
Cheers

any chance you can post a pic?
When I said that it was reinforced underneath, I misspoke. They do seem to be more than adequately rigid, given that they don't need to travel far to release the cards.
As requested, here are some pictures of the retention mechanism.
I just bought one of these at amazon, with the intention of sticking some velcro on it and attaching it to my B&N Industriell Easel.

Looking forward to more feedback. It looks like either of the 2 posts would help as far as storage is concerned but I am also having trouble keeping my cards straight. I have the NC and 2 android phones.

I ended up picking up this reader/holder, and I expect it will remain sufficient for my needs for some time to come. In addition to the 2 uSD, 1 SIM and 1 M2 storage slots (all cards I currently use, though only one of each and usually in their respective devices), 1 more of any of the above can be stored in the reader slot.
I hadn't considered it when I ordered, but the reader is slim enough to slip in the cover flap of my NC case, which I had thought impractical for anything but a wiping cloth or a few sheets of paper. In a lot of cases, it would fit neatly in the ID pocket (fits mine, too, but makes the cover bulge there when closed).
About the only con I see is that they probably could have made it smaller still--I suspect the center 1/4-1/3 of the width is wasted space inserted for that credit card form factor.

Did you order directly from the company or via their store at Amazon?
I think I will order the SIM card holder. They have a buy 3 get 4 promo via Amazon. It would be overkill to buy the SIM Card Holder, SD card holder and the micro SD cardholder. What would I do with a fourth card holder?

Holds up to 3 cell phone SIM cards, 4 micro SD cards, and one standard "Micro SD to SD card adapter

It works fine for me... I'm thinking of how to best slap it on my case, at present. I think I'm going to sew some magnets into a fabric pockect, and just use the magnetic stick in the case to tether it in place. As to keeping track, maybe a bit of paint on the cards? Be it nail polish, poster, marker, etc? Keep them color coded and easily sorted .

Hi all, the best part of this holder is it is designed to fit right in the pelican (!) ( secure digital case which makes it not only secure, but also waterproof, and if I do say so, very cool. I bought mine from amazon.
Hi all. Got my S7 Edge earlier this week and was looking around for some upgrades. I have an old 16gb microSD card that’s in there now but whilst using that SD card with me Xperia Z1s, I started hitting the limits of both the 32gb internal memory and the 16gb microSD capacity. Got a new phone, so now its about time I upgrade I think. However, the last thing I want to worry about is the SD card causing performance issues in the phone itself, so ive compiled a list of some microSD cards I would like your guys’s feedback on. What would y’all pick? Im good with 64gb or better, but don’t want to break the bank either. Was originally leaning towards the PNY, but the Sandisk Extreme PLUS caught my attention. The Netac Pro card also stands out due to size/$$$ ratio compared to the others (while still appearing to be decently fast).
Also, since cases on the edge actually back off the sides (for the edge displays of course), putting the phone face down directly contacts the screen to the surface of whatever its on. Im use to the case sides rising up just enough for face-down placement to rest on the case edges, not the screen. So I was wondering what you all would recommend for a screen protector? Im fine with the Skinomi TechSkin type but that’s better for scratches than to help prevent shattering I think. A tempered glass style screen protector might be a better choice. Any recommendations on current or future products for that? Thanks again.
PNY
http://www.amazon.com/PNY-Performan...GU360G-GE/dp/B00W77CJTY/ref=cm_cr_dp_asin_lnk $20 for 64gb, $35 for 128gb
Sony

Sandisk Extreme PLUS
http://www.amazon.com/SanDisk-Extre...F8&qid=1458318776&sr=1-4&keywords=u3+micro+sd $38.99 for 64gb (this one stands out due to incredible write speeds compared to others)
Transcend Ultimate 633x
http://www.amazon.com/Transcend-Mic...F8&qid=1458318776&sr=1-9&keywords=u3+micro+sd $36.99 for 64gb
Netac Pro (the oddity of the bunch)
http://www.amazon.com/Netac-Micro-C...qid=1458319119&sr=1-1&keywords=Netac+Micro+SD $39.99 for 128gb
If you would of checked sooner, Amazon and best buy ran a 200gb special for 59.99 but I believe it's 79.99 now fyi. Also the cases for our phone don't have the edge covered so you can use it and see notifications. With the sides exposed, there is still the top and bottom that protect the screen. I have a skinomi on its way but have been using my Otterbein symmetry case and the top and bottom of the case protects my screen if I put it face down. Was going to just get an commuter but wanted thinner and this case is the bees knees (for real)
