Magic-Mat

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?

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.

Cheap eBay bnumper cases, I got one, quick review with pics

The cheap eBay Bumper case I posted about on another board arrived today and it looks quite good until you pick it up and notice how thin and light it is which kind of goes hand in hand with it's massively small £3 price. It does the job fine on a S2 with the stock battery though but with extended battery the lip surrounding the front bezel is less pronounced.
It is not great with the Zenis dock either as it doesn't sit flush whereas the Zenis one does. I was expecting it to fit fine but the bottom is not sitting nicely like the Walnutt bumper does.
So far I think the Walnutt case looks the best and also feels like it's worth some ££ too. I especially like the lip bearing the Walnutt brand name on the back, it kind of completes an otherwise baron backside, something that the SGP NeoHybrid EX bumper lacks although I'm sure the SGP feels every bit as good and expensive as the Walnutt ones.
Considering the Walnutt bumper is thicker than the cheap eBay one I was surprised it was exactly the same thickness when put on the phone, I put it on my dad's S2 with stock battery to compare in the pics below.

Wow 10 pounds for shipping to Spain! What a RIP OFF. I'll write the seller and see what he says. I doubt though that he'll change the price. I've had books and computer parts delivered for less!

Ballistic Case imitation PICTURES AND BRIEF REVIEW

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.

This.

Where to get an original back panel replacement?

Mine has cracked, but all the links on xda go to stores where it is sold out

Here you go http://m.aliexpress.com/item/325521...stype=600&tracelog=wwwdetail2mobilesitedetail

Any other links to buy the cover? that one's sold out.

This is a real issue with the OPO, it seems that there are no more back plates around for buying. I'm also interested in replacing mine, I just can't seem to find a shop who sells them. Any luck on your side?
Sent from my A0001 using XDA-Developers mobile app

look on aliexpressit seems there are some left but not cheap http://m.aliexpress.com/item/32523733654.html

Yeah, expensive and rare. I could only find the white one, no sandstone black. And for 35 bucks, no way. The bamboo one is 50 bucks at oppomart. Damn shame that you cannot find accessories for such a great phone...

Also looking for replacement. But 35 is too much. Right now I thinking about some sort of SKIN which will wrap my scratched sandstone or try to build my own DIY back cover but it is impossible to make it so thin by DIY.

saw a video a while back, where a guy took the plastic liner, where the phone sets into and made a cover from that. Not very much protection, but it looked pretty good. You could paint it or order a wrap to go around it to make it look better. was looking for YT video, not found it yet, if i find it, will post it here.

OK, couldn't find the video, so I made my own case. This was a very quick job and you can see some parts are broke and a bit rough on the cutouts. But one was to take a bit of time, it would come out pretty nice. Phone did fit a little loose, so I took a lighter, heated the edges and corners a bit to make it fit snug. Images are low quality, took with my old LG L70
