Case With Credit Card Slots

Has anyone used this case? I bought the kickstand case and after 3 weeks the bottom half of the kickstand broke off. I was thinking of getting the credit card case because in L.A. we have these things called Tap cards for bus passes. You just tap it onto a sensor and it'd be easier for me to tap my phone and put the card in the slots. Is the case fine? Is the plastic between the slots and the back of the thick or just right for sensors to maybe reach it?
Sorry for writing so much!
Thank You.

I don't know about those cases but that's a great idea! I wouldn't mind having one for a pay pass debit card. They work on the same concept.

i have the case mate for the mt4g. it hold up to 3 cards. works amazingly. not sure about your bus pass though

I've used that case since December of last year. It's a really nice case and it holds 2 cards, but I managed to fit one more, lol. As far as the Tap card goes, I'm not sure. Never tried it. I always had the Tap in my pocket. Not so sure if it'll work since it is a little thick.

I have one really convenient

Where did you guys find this case with credit card slot?
please link.

^google "casemate mytouch 4g"

I love mine, had it on since I bought phone last year. It is only good for 2 cards though, I have found 3 makes it too tight to pull them out. It has literally saved my phone from a lot of damage.

Planning on picking this up at local TMO store today after work. They have em on sale for $15, and my best skins ever is peeling off, so I figured why not? I like the idea of the card holder...any more updated reviews on this case? Does it protect decently? Not too bulky?
UPDATE in case anyone reads this thread: The $15 price was only for online TMO, in-store was still $35. But I wound up getting it on Amazon for $10
Quick review: Love the case. It adds a little bulk to the back of the phone (due to the slot for cards), but not much - and I consider it worth it because I can fit: my drivers license, my bank card, my metro pass, and my gym key card all in the space provided; which means I don't have to carry my wallet around, so the slight bump in the back of the phone is worth it to me. (Side note that makes this case more beneficial: there's growing evidence to support that carrying a wallet in your back pocket can lead to serious back problems).

DealExtreme Aluminum Alloy Touchpad Stylus Review

Just received the two styluses’ that I ordered from Deal Extreme on July 16 and I have to say that I am very impressed with them for the price that I paid. Being only $2.40 each I decided to order 2 of them setting me back only $4.80 total with free shipping and no tax. The shipping however took exactly 2 weeks since it was shipped from Japan so if you need it in a hurry your out of luck.
Each stylus is packaged in cheap plastic with a cardboard backing that says for iPhone/iPod touch, etc.
Now the stylus itself has a solid black aluminum body with a chrome clip and chrome right above the rubber stylus part of the pen. The aluminum body feels sturdy and is just a tad bit thicker than your average pencil. I have never owned a capacitive stylus but the rubber end on this one seems to be fine with no quality issues that I can tell. It also hasn’t scratched my device which is important. As far as overall build quality goes, the only part that feels cheap is the clip that has a fake/plastic chrome look to it. The clip has worked fine for me so far when attaching it to my SGT case.
As far as performance goes, it does take a little bit of getting used to, but I’m assuming any stylus for these screens would be the same way. All the touches have registered with great accuracy from what I can tell. I was having some trouble with using Swype but I think that’s because it was on my Moto Droid. It was registering a lot better on my SGT then my Moto Droid. I do have an XO Screen protector on my SGT and it is working perfectly with this stylus as well if anyone was wondering.
Overall though, for the price, you can’t beat it! I got 2 of them for under $5 and am extremely happy with this purchase. This is my first review but I thought I would help anyone that was looking for a stylus. Feel free to ask me any questions and I will do my best to answer them.

That's certainly a good deal. I went ahead and ordered one.

3 bucks, why not

I bought the same one at Walmart under the brand of targus for $14. That tells you how much they overprice everything and you're basically paying for the brand :-(
Sent from my GT-P7510 using XDA Premium App

When I was at best buy they tried selling me a Targus one as well, bet its the same one as Wal-Mart

I picked up the targus stylus at walmart. It doesn't seem to be very sensitive. You have to press the tip down and compress it quite a bit for it to make a reliable input. It's horrible for drawing. My finger works 5 times better. Are all capacitive styluses like this?

Did you opt for the paid package tracking when you ordered?

My stylus seems to work fine as long as I'm not charging. Odd.

Nope and I anxiously waited 2 weeks

how do thee styluses perform for hand writing?

anyone know?

Ordered a pair on the 3rd of July, I opted for the mail tracking for an extra $2 bucks. The tracking directs me to some Hong Kong Post website saying my order is still being processed for departure? I guess this is Hong Kong's version of the USPS tracking process. I don't know how good it is once it leaves Hong Kong and into the states? I wonder if the tracking # will still be good once in the states, USPS? Don't have as clue to look? I don't think I will ever order anything out of country again?

You should usually be able to use the same tracking number on usps.com as soon as it gets in their system, or at least that's how it works with China Post.

Thanks I'll keep everyone updated.

That same stylus is available for $1.78, in different colors, at Priceangels
http://www.priceangels.com/Search_Result_t.html?advancedSearch=true&searchname=4.5-inch+stylus
I have ordered from them before. Got the items delivered fine. Pretty much works like Dealextreme, except IMO it has a better design.

I have been ordering quite a bit from dealextreme.com.
So far so lost packages or defect goods, just have to wait patiently for it to arrive.
Located in Singapore though, and I think it ships from Hong Kong.
Wait time is usually 2-3 weeks from time of order.

Performance is going to be more based on the app than the stylus itself. I found navigating and typing to be fine with a stylus, but the drawing apps and lacking....for now.

I got mine yesterday and I've been playing with it a bit. It works *okay*. It's definitely not as useful as I had hoped it would be. It only works about 75-80% of the time - some touches receive no response. It seems to be pretty sensitive, if you touch it at the wrong angle or press too hard or too soft, it doesn't work. Drawing is impractical. Hand-writing notes (which I was hoping for) is not really practical due to the thick rubber end on the stylus.

Good Accessories - Good Price

Seen as it xmas time ive decided to treat myself,or rather treat my phone, ive picked up some good accessories at some good prices, some of you may already have these items but ive noticed they have gone down in price in the last 6 weeks.
I've purchased as follows....
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004BR2ZTM
excellent price for a 32GB SD card, Lexar like Sandisk are one of the leaders when it comes to SD cards.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0050N42QU
I've already got a case but decided i like the look of this and at this price it's a bargain.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004WMGI94
Original Sammy battery at this price = serious bargain.

hi dude not bad extras but
the sgs2 cae you linked isnt that cheap when you add the postage really it works out to like 6 quid odd and seems a bit of a rip off having to pay nearly 5 pounds postage for a really light case , infact i despise sellers that make their money by over charging on postage ebay stopped this ages ago!!! you can get sgp neo hybrids of ebay for less the 10 pounds with free postage
lexmar do make ok cards but i prefer sandisk and they can be had a pound or two cheaper the lexmars ive used have varying read/write speeds sometimes mega quick , sometimes mega slow , sandisk has always been more constant for me and reliable too
id also be a bit skeptical about that battery being genuine at that price , if it isnt genuine youve paid over the odds for a fake , if it is genuine its cheap , however its not sold by amazon so id be skeptical to say the least , if you notice amazon sell the same battery for £12 you can almost gurantee the amazon one will be genuine but the one from the seller you linked has no gurantee its genuine and he could just be selling good fakes
my best extras have been
#sandisk card at £26
#sgp neo hybrid for £8
#jvc earbuds for £15 (super headphones too)
#3 pack of matte screen protectors for £2.75
#genuine 2000mah battery £27
#genuine samsung desktop battery charger for £8

Where can you find the Sgp neo hybrid for £8, all the ones I have found have been around £19.99

you may want to look again mate
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004WMGI94
It's sold by SAMSUNG so i would imagine the chances of it being fake are zero...as for the postage, the only thing i paid postage on was the case and it was still cheap, this case is still being sold in carphone warehouse for over £15 i seen it myself a few weeks ago, as for Lexar, i agree Sandisk are number 1 but Lexar are not far behind the the reviews for this are pretty much postive, a class 10 32GB card at this price IMO is a steal.

why does it say Samsung then on the clickable link, surely if this is a company called sky trading they could get into serious trouble for having Samsung on the page of the product
I may look into this further...

Must be made by Samsung. I always look for who is actually selling it. Also the first review doesn't look very promising, sounds like a fake in my opinion.

it clearly says sold by sky-trading mate that is why i said that it could be fake , what do you mean they couuld be in big trouble having a samsung clickable link on the amazon page??
if you bought it from samsung / amazon / play / mobile fun chances are it would be genine but lots of 3rd party sellers on these sites sell fakes so was just saying
hopefully yours isnt and everything is fine and hunky dory
edit
this user didnt think it was genuine though

Most of the reviews are good you are always going to get bad reviews on Amazon no matter if the product is 100% perfect.
I do believe it's genuine but certainly if it isn't ill be looking for a refund, as soon as i get it ill be testing it.

Just reporting back - the battery is definitely real, it's exactly the same as the one that came with the phone and lasts pretty much the same maybe a little longer.
The Lexar SD card is excellent and the read and write speed is impressive enough, and finally the mesh case looks really cool, if you are really obsessed about protecting your phone from damage this case isn't for you, however if you are careful with your phone and want it to look great this is thge case for you.
Merry xmas

I will be getting the lexar card, simply because it's a class 10 and is slightly cheaper than the class 4 sandisk. Also the battery CAN still be fake. The chinese guys go through a lot of work to make sure it looks identical but it can still be real. Only way to find out is to keep using it

id like a trusted link as well please

75% off XtremeGuard screen and/or full body protectors

Not sure how long this will last so get them while you can!
Here's the deal, add 3 items or more to your cart, enter code "big75", without the quotation marks, during checkout and get 75% off your total. Here's the order I just placed....2 full body protectors and another screen protector, grand total $6.25 shipped!!! It's free shipping in the US but shipping worldwide is very affordable as well.
http://www.xtremeguard.com/Samsung-...-Protectors-p/galaxy_s_3_screen_protector.htm

I bought one Full Body for my Skyrocket and it's pretty good. I mean, for that price, it's great. Buy with confidence from them...

The discount code is invalid. This sucks

Hate to say it topgun... you must have entered it wrong. I literally just placed my order, and it went through fine.

You need to pick 3 items for the code to work.

they are .99c on Amazon

Code still works
I literally just ordered mine too and the code does indeed work. Even if I am ultimately not satisfied I'm out a whopping $3.75 total shipped for 3 protectors. Still ordering a hard case though as I just can't fully bring myself to trust more than scratch/screen protection. A very affordable way to give this company and product a try!

I ordered mine and then cancelled it because I was hearing about some banding issues. Received my paypal refund. Yesterday I check my mail and I still received my products (3 full body, 1 screen)

Finally got my gs3 yesterday and installed this. The back cover went on horribly (user error, didn't really take my time). The first front cover didn't go on so well, but the second went on fine. There was some odd streaking because of the remaining liquid, but they're all but gone this morning. I have one small blemish that looks like the material bunched up, but I can live with it, might go away anyway.
In retrospect, the first front cover's problems probably would have disappeared, but I kind of panicked. This morning when I picked the phone up, it was clear enough that for some reason I forgot I put one on. Worth the money spent.

You're doing it wrong. I just tried the code and it works fine for me, as of 2 minutes ago.

I'm kind of shocked this code is still working, I didn't think it would be going on for so long but that's good for us! Keep those reviews coming, and include pics if you can. That helps us see what you're talking about and factors into the decision making process as well.

the code is still working, thanks bro.
but to get the advantage, you need at least 3
Coupon code "big75" is not valid. Your shopping cart must contain a total quantity of at least 3. Your current cart quantity is 1.

Suggestions, how much can I sell this?

I take lot of care with my stuff and my phone even though is almost 2 years or 3 it still looks like new.
I bought it used like new but with a small pixel like crack dot at the center and it actually never bothered at all.
Very very slight scratches as well but they where there since the day I bought it used.
The only flaw is a small crack at the back of the phone left corner but I fixed it as best as I could. The crack is at the left edge but it didn't snapped out.
I never used a screen protector, only the Urban Armor Gear which IMO is the best case ever.
I'm also offering a separated Memory Stick with 32 Gigs.
Comes with everything except an instruction manual because that's how it came when I bought it in the first time.
Here is a descent picture I just took and since I just got a Nexus 6 I won't need this and I need to save money.
This SGS3 is also Rooted with "SlimBeam" Rom installed.
So how much can I sell this for with all honesty?
I would expect a total of $240 because of the separate memory stick of 32 gigs and the UAG case cover.

Might want to move this to Q&A
If you're in the US, I'd guess you'd get a maximum of around $150 ... in comparison I've seen refurb S4's on sale for $195 so I think your estimate of $240 is a little optimistic

I'll go with $150 then. Thank you very much!
