I was shopping the other day and I came across this interesting thing. Basically it is this pad of some sort of sticky polyurethane gel that can stick onto any surface without damaging it and can hold your cellphone up. It is the single greatest mount in my opinion because I can take it anywhere. I have been putting it in the car for use as a GPS, in the bedroom to watch videos, etc.
Information from the package:
When your Magic-Mat becomes dusty and less sticky simply rinse and allow it to dry to its original stickiness
Magic-Mat is made of Polyurethane gel, a unique material that is incredibly sticky, resilient, flexible, and durable.
Magic-Mat can withstand temperature extremes ranging from -122F to 212F.
Magic-Mat is nontoxic, odorless, and recyclable.
Use Magic-Mat in your home, car, boat, or RV to hold your cell phone, sunglasses, PDA, toll pass...Just about everything.
I was able to find the exact product I bought online, however, I was also able to find similar ones made from the same material. I do not have a camera available, so the image below is of the other product, but they are exactly the same. Also, the picture does not show it holding a cell phone, but you should have no problem sticking your phone to it.

I have a rubberized hard case so I haven't tested, but I will now.
UPDATE: yes it works.
I have this same mat (although white) and it works great with the Amzer Luxe Argyle case.
This seems like a great way to use as a GPS holder for my phone. You sure it will hold the weight of the captivate?

I've looked around on Google, and the closest I got was a case, but here's what I'm looking for:
Is there such a thing as a battery cover replacement with a kick stand? I know it'll be a touch thicker, but it would definitely be worth it to be able to prop my Captivate up in front of me to watch things.
If they made something like that like the HTC Thunderbolt has, I would buy it in a heartbeat. I looked around and couldn't find anything so I'm thinking of just building and attaching a similar kickstand on the stock battery door for myself, doesn't seem like it would be too difficult.
that would be cool built into the door, but i made this...

Try looking here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=739168
Some great ideas!
You could easily make on with a nice black picture frame and some super glue. Just have to find a small one with a stand that clicks in place flush with the frame for wall mounting. That and a little imagination. Lol... Might actually attempt it myself..

If you buy the otter box defender it comes with a belt clip that the phone will slide into either screen out or screen in and the clip will lock open so u can use it as a stand . amazon has the case for $33.00
lol thats funny, i have the otterbox defender, i knew the belt clip works as a stand, but just plumb forgot to mention it in this thread...

This looks pretty similar to something that I believe Otterbox will end up looking like. Personally, I think the flap over the camera is laughable but if you want true protection it comes with a price.
Picked one of these up. LOL! Why? I work in a very dirty environment that would subject my phone to a lot of fine particulates and water. Plus a 2-year old that loves to play with phones.
It is next to impossible for me to get the kickstand out with this case. I need long fingernails to reach the stand with this one.
Anyone else have one of these?
I have this case and i think it's great that you can add the extra protection when it's needed, and then just remove it when you don't.
Can the flap for the camera be permanently removed?

I just got mine in the mail about 2 days ago. i have no flap. i did also buy this from amazon. Maybe mine is older or new i don't no. i would post the link from where i bought it but im still a newb.
all in all i love the case and the belt clip. great product

You could have to rip the rubber off the pivot piece for the camera cover. Then you could make it removable. It's the only option I know of.

that hole next to the camera, yea the bump on the flap is placed there to hold it back.
i had this case since i bought my TB but i got it from Best Buy n it was called Platinum. its a really good case. i would really recommend this
same I got the platinum series TB case from best buy. 34.99
its sleaker then the one posted though and looks better IMO.
The holes in the back for the cam and LED are 2 different accurate cut outs instead of one. looks better but it dies not have the flap/cover
Its the same case. The convert just has two extra layers and isn't rebranded.
REVIEW IS HERE
I've found this on ebay.
It's pretty and cheap and i'm probably going to buy it (and if, i'll post here a depth review), but
QUESTION:
Can the magnetic closure ruin the phone? i mean by interferences or so
Thanks.

Thanks! I've also found some thread related to other phones and the conclusion is the same.
I'll let you know.
I was wondering the exact same thing just the other day. The blackberry pouches have a magnet to cater to its auto shut off feature. But seeing that the G-nex does not have this feature, would the magnet cause any internal damage?

Click to expand...

I just received the item and the magnets seems to be strong enough to keep the cover closed but not to interfere with the phone. Plus the screen doesn't seems to be attracted by the magnets.
I'll post a review this evening.
It would.be.cool.if we could make this like the iPad and power on when opened.
Looking forward to your review.
i like the concept of these, but, not sure if i would like having to open something every time i would need to use my phone. not to mention i don't think i would like trying to talk on it and the flap covering half my face or credit cards falling out. and then i would have to pop it out every time i get in the car to put it in my dock.
cool idea though. i would consider it if it just had a cash-stash and cc slots on the back side without the flap
CASE REVIEW (a sort of)
PROs
- The phone fits perfectly in the case.
- The magnets don't seem to interfere with anything.
- The front cover bends without any problem and doesn't slap my face while calling.
- The screen is very well protected
CONs
- The plastic inner case doesn't have proper top and bottom sides leaving the phone quite unprotected there as you can see from the photos.
- The credit card pocket sewing can mark the screen, but it's nothing permanet.
Let me know if you have more questions.

A solution is to use the proximity sensor but I think that if it was feasible then someone would have already done it.
Just received my order from http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dl...item=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT#ht_3157wt_1037
This is my Pebble Blue International S3 with an XtremeGUARD screen protector and the case.

Actually one of the better looking TPU cases IMO...
How's the fit seem overall? From the pics it looks great.
I may just pick one up..
Doesn't look very "ultra-thin".
Just a warning, if this is one of those cases with a diamond sort of "embossed" pattern on the inside, you have to be careful to clean dust from the inside, or it'll end up scratching the back of your phone.

Like most TPU and other cases, even the high end expensive ones, dust, lint, sand, soot will get in and eventually may cause scratching. I would assume most people take the time to clean and maintain their devices' appearance and or avoid being sandy, sooty, linty and dusty
Besides, the back will get scratches without anything protecting it as well.. I am waiting for delivery of the backs to my full body protection from XtremeGUARD. (ebay has them for $4 delivered http://www.ebay.com/itm/XtremeGuard...ccessories&hash=item35bcdc39ee#ht_3731wt_1270)

I found these much cheaper, at less than $2 delivered, but can not say if those will be the same as this one.
Here is the ebay link to the other ones, he has some other interesting cases as well, IMHO super cheap. http://stores.ebay.com/E-ChainStore/_i.html?_nkw=s3&submit=Search&_sid=1033895339
As you can see in the pictures above, it is very snug tight form fitting all the cut outs match perfectly and it actually covers the volume rocker and power button. At $4 delivered it is as good if not better than the Diztronic of similar design costing $10+ pictured below.

This is true, but in comparison with other TPU cases, this one as you can see is fairly thin and still offers good bump drop protection.
this is the case found on this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1747091#
Okay so i just got the case today
My first impression was it looks pretty cool.
Inspecting the case more, i find the quality to be pretty good. It doesnt feel cheap, not at all.
The case is easy to put on, but hard to take off. What I'm saying is, it doesnt feel like the second piece of the case would fall out of it at all.
The first layer of the case is made of Silicone. The second is hard plastic with silicone top on it which gives it more grip on your hand and wouldnt slip when put on top of a table, etc.
The case feels solid and grippy. it has holes for the mic and noise cancellation mic. The case has a cover for the 3.5mm which is great but not for the micro usb(expected that anyways).
The volume and power button are easy to press and gives you a nice feedback. Its really great
There is only one problem that i came across with the case, though its not really a big deal.
The hole for the micro usb port is too small for the charger that came with the phone. But if you force it in, it should go in DEEP.
I have a spare cable like this one so everything is all good

For $6 this case is a total beast.
Quality is great and it looks pretty slick.
9/10
just got my other case today.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/330759812700?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
The case looks fantastic, though. Its hard to put on, like super hard. You have to force it to fit.
What i like about it is that it looks better than the the one similar to it. I like how the charging port is bigger as well.
Only problem i have with it is that fitting, its not easy and requires a lot of force to get it fitted.
Check out the pictures.
