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).

I'm looking for a wallet type case for this phone. Has anyone come across something that can hold a couple of credit cards?
The other option is something that can be modified like a case for an extended battery or something along those lines.

The hard way wold be going to your local shoe-maker (cobbler) or repair place (perhaps a saddle shop where they MAKE/Fix them (we dont have those in NY)
Tell the guy what your looking for. I could make it for you (and I am just good with my hands) in ten minutes if I had the leather, knife and a leather sewing needle and requisite thread. You probably could make one out of an old purse you found at a thrift store and do a fine job in as much time as it would take you to read & respond to this.

Its more than a wallet but it does fit in you pocket and they last a looong time. I've had one for most of thirty years and the only thing wrong with it is the loop that holds the pen is torn, Rick
Well you could try this one...
http://www.extremepda.com/Swiss-Leatherware-Smartphone-Wallet-Case_p_764.html
It is "generic" case and suppose to fit "99%" of the smart phones out there... Of course ours is probably the other 1%.
Thanks for the suggestions.
I tried emailing case-mate and their response was that they do not plan to make one for the Galaxy S2. Not even the international version.
I can see why...
If you take a credit card/ID and hold it between the speaker and flash, it just barely fits. If you take tolerances and materials into consideration, it just wont fit at all. I guess the best best would be that extremepda case.
I saw a leather case at best buy that had a slot on the front for credit card/money

I'm trying to locate a wallet case for my Note that has a standard Samsung back case, not a full backside with a plastic cradle to hold the phone. Those cases makes it hard to get the stylus out. I have looked high I have looked low but I haven't looked right because I can't find anything like that.
Any and all tips are deeply appreciated.

ebay is great for these, just search N7000 flip case!
The ones I locate all have a simple cover, not pockets for bills and credit cards.

I also looked for something like this, but found nothing. It's either a choice of a replacement back panel with plain flip cover, or a credit card wallet with a cradle.
The only alternative might be to adapt one with a replacement back panel, perhaps by fixing some credit card sleeves to inside of the cover. The hinge might not allow enough extra play for this though.
you can actually ask your local shoe repairshop if he can make one from the one you have. I think he can. Its a question of adding leather on the front so it still fits, an opening for bills and a series of slots to hold cards.
Do note there are reports of cards pressing on screen that could damage/leave prints on screen and on screen protector.
my experience not in making but in use is that the original flap breaks after a while. Not sure, but whennit does, it looks like cupboard lmao

As I suspected then. Quite vexing. Seems like such a winning construction. Keep it thin enough for your pocket, yet add the function off s wallet. Outside cards and cash everything from my old wallet is now in my Note.

Indeed an excellent idea. Now if I could only go back 30 years when we still had a cobbler in town
Kidding aside I shall see if it is feasible, bring the original backside and explain as good as I can.

Can anyone recommend a flip case in which i can also put in credit cards and money (notes) aswell ?

I have two cases: an EasyAcc (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CALPJOY/ref=oh_details_o01_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and an Evecase (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00BQN4UII/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1). I think I prefer the EasyAcc-- it really does feel nice in the hand, doesn't add too much heft, and closes rather cleverly. It's also an excellent stand. However, while it's easy to snap the phone in and out of, that comes at the cost of capacity. It'll take one card, and if you push the card too far back in, it won't close well (although it's still a good case).
The Evecase is more like your standard "wallet," with three card slots and a pocket in the back for cash. Since the closing mechanism is a full clasp, it'll take whatever you stuff in within reason. I personally can't stand button clasps (they flap around), but it might fit your needs.
I would be wary of credit card cases.. I've seen a couple in person and they have ended up leaving marks on the screen after awhile.
I just got my Nexus 7 32gb edition in the mail and I want to know what i should get for it.
Wireless charger?
Case recommendations?
Good screen protectors?
The best roms?
Don't ask about best Roms, they frown upon that wireless charger sure if you want convenience. There were a few cases where the plastic that lines the nexus engraving on the back came off due to the heat transfer. I have a glass screen protector, but I'm yet to put it on lol. Cases, I only have one which I don't like much. I'll probably be getting the official Google one as I don't mind not having the magnetic cover since I'll run a kernel with sweep to wake.

Opps I didnt know. What brand glass screen protector did you get? Right now im using a universal 7 inch fold case i got for 5 bucks Its works good so far and I was thinking the same thing with the google case but $50 for a case thats just a bit high. I would get the asus branded case but there are a lot of people that have said they got one that didnt fit the n7.
You could get a USB On-The-Go adapter for when you've filled up that 26GB of storage

This is the one I got (it seems they changed the packaging since I got it). I have a glass one on my S4 and I don't think I could go back to a normal one haha. I agree the Google case is pretty dang expensive, but since it will be a Christmas gift, I won't be paying for it

I'm getting a meenova sd card reader with a 64gb sdxc card and a dbrand skin for the n7 for christmas cant wait!
Just broke my first s3 and bought a new one, this time I said no more otterbox and went with lifeproof.
Damn fine cases, quality, built in screen protector and best part. There waterproof! Buttons are easy to press, not like otter box basically crush the phone trying to press the power button lol
I got mine on amazon.ca for 39.99 free shipping. And I signed up for a amazon credit card and saved another $20.
Cases are good quality compared to my old otter box. Otter box rubber is falling apart, like breaking down. I contacted otterbox customer service. My warranty was up in one week from when I contacted them. I sent emails properly to them submitting the defects, they asked for more of the same pictures..... Basically wasting time. Then at the end of the week guess what. They told me I'm no longer under the 1 year warranty. No u wasted a week trying to make me waste time. Lol
Well let me tell otter box this.... U won't see a red nickel from me ever again.
In short lifeproof is a better case and company then otter box. I've already been in the water with the case 2 times. No leaks phone is fine.

I think they have a legal obligation to honor the warranty if the claim was initiated before it ran out.

Interesting point. They closed the case promptly and told me I have to open a new case.... I see where this is going so I just gave up.
I am going to contact them again bringing that part up. Mighty fine point.

With a shot. If anything you could sell the case or use it as a backup since you have a Lifeproof. I moved to Lifeproof from Otterbox and have never looked back.
How does LifeProof compare to CruzerLite? I was thinking about getting a CruzerLite case for my AT&T Galaxy S3.
Moved to S3 Accessories forum.
I used to work at a store that sold these when they first came out. I tested them out a few times and found them difficult to pry apart and get on/off the phone. They looked very well-constructed and effective, but can anyone vouch for their ease of use in relation to applying to phone and taking it back off? Have they changed it up at all as far as anyone can attest?

I've been using mine on my S3 for about 3 to 4 months now and with a coin you can open the case not super easy per say but it comes off once you open it.

you get raised buttons that allow you to use all the iPhone controls, while a sealable door and plug cover the Lightning port and headphone jack along the bottom edge. The headphone jack is fairly narrow, but LifeProof includes an adapter that extends the jack beyond the case. Rounding out the package is a microfiber cloth and a replacement headphone jack plug.

Hmm, sounds like a step up from what I remember. I recall bending back some fingernails a few times trying to open those things. Guess they must have re-designed them a bit, or I just didn't know what I was doing...
I hear good things, so maybe I'll check one out for my next case.

All you really need is a coin like a quarter or a nickel since they are thicker than a penny and dime. Those have worked just fine for me

From a legal standpoint, the date of complaint stands. Don't let them give you the run around bro. Unfortunately this should have been taken care of immediately. If they give you a hard time and do not want to cooperate, you can still open a case through the Better Business Bureau and let them handle your complaint. Hopefully you have some emails with the date you 1st contacted them. If not, it'll be your word against theirs.
Best of luck to you.
Personally, I've had two OtterBox Defender cases. One I ended up giving away in my section and the other has never been used. As for the built-in screen protector, I popped it out a few days after I started using the case and applied one from Tech Armor. Great screen protectors by the way! I ended up getting a ZeroLemon 7000mAh battery and bought their ZeroLemon Rugged Case. It's not waterproof but it is one heck of a case. I know for a fact it has saved my phone on two occasions. It can be used with stock batteries too. Not bad for $19.99. It also comes with a 180 day warranty just like their batteries.
