360 CASE from PYROSKINS!!!

This is yet another awesome case from pyroskins guys. I like it better than the popular clip case. Which I never thought would happen. Build quality is excellent. Usability is great. It feels really strong and durable. Check out the video....

Dear "Greg":
Please send me one of your cases. I promise to spam every GT10 website with gushing reviews. I PROMISE TO TITLE EVERY POST WITH CAPS-LOCK ON, and I will use a minimum of 14 exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will also create video reviews with weird little glitches that make anyone watching feel like having a seizure.
Just kidding. Couldn't help myself
BTW- love the custom firmware Task650. Best one I've used, especially when paired with pershoot's kernel.

LOL...

+1 to that, when they ran out of the clip case and were waiting to get new ones in, he made sure mine got shipped asap so I could receive it before I left the country. Looks like I've got another case to purchase lol.
@Pyro,
If you read this, i have a question for you. What are the chances of you having any say in the design process of these cases? I would love to get a hybrid clip/360 version that doesn't need that elastic band to stay closed. I am gonna get the new one anyways, but I was just wondering.
Thanks for the awesome cases

Has anyone elase gotten this case? Mine is still in flight, but just wondering how others are getting on with theirs.

Are you for real? $18.99??????????
Omg I should just order this

Just ordered . 2 - 5 weeks ahaha luckily I'm not in a rush for it.

I got this case before going to europe. Its been 2 weeks so far and its been pretty good. The only issue i have is that the groove farthest from the binding doesnt hold the tab up. My tab always falls down immediatley even on a flat even surface.

Questions like this, feel free to send me an email or PM. I've been asked not to actively talk about the cases on the forums ... so I stick to lurking here and commenting in the general and Q&A threads.
email is pyroskins at gmail
But ya, I can do anything development wise ... I just have to order a qty of 500 at a time.

The groove closest to the binding works for landscape and portrait modes. It happens to be the groove i want to use most of the time so it is acceptable to me

Pyro ships fast! I ordered the 360 case last Monday by personal check and in today's (sat) mail was the case. Been playing around with it and I must say that it is a solid case. I researched for a long time and Tasks video review convinced me. I bought the tab for its slim design and weight compared to other tegra 2 tablets. The case feels very light before you put the tab in it. IMO even with the case on it, I believe it is still lighter than my wife's ipad 1 or my friends xoom. I love that you can charge it with the case on it. I have three cats that think my computer desk is a good place to take a nap. Now I will never have to worry again. Price is amazing. The case and shipping to NY was under $24. I wasn't ever going to get a case for my tab, liked the feel and weight, but I had a couple close calls carrying it or just holding it under my arm if I had other things to carry. Overall, very satisfied!
As far as tab not staying in farthest groove, if you use the stretchy band that holds the case closed for travelling and just slide it up over the bottom lip of the case it should hold it in place in that last groove. Works for me anyways.

Sadly, for me it has not arrived yet. I'm going to see how long this takes. But so you know.. I am in Toronto Canada.. so it'll be a little longer with customs and stuff

Just received the 360 yesterday. I couldnt be happier... the case is extremely well made. The tab stays up in every position, and the tab fits very well into the case and it doesnt add to much bulk. As someone else mentioned i wish they had a hybrid between the 360 and the clip, not a deal breaker just not a big fan of the elastic band that keeps the case closed. Just a tad bit of ocd on my end the hole on the back side of the case doesnt bother me, but i wish that the samsung logo was lined up in the center of the hole All in all great case and fast shipping

Ordered mine this morning and they shipped it this afternoon. That is service. Can't wait to get home and hopefully it will be there by Friday

Ordered one last night. *waits by the door*

Flygrip

Hey guys, I was browsing through some threads and stumbled upon this curious contraption called Flygrip. It's like a brace that you slip your finger through that you put on the back of the phone. It improves more stability and allows easier access to the screen because you don't have to fully grip the phone. This is probably useful especially with the Nexus because it has a rather large screen.
Anyone have any experience on this? I'm thinking of buying one and trying it out because it looks really handy.

I dunno. I think it would make it more awkward with one hand and 2 handed isn't needed.
I like the direction their going though. Creative thinking.
Galaxy Nexus - 4.0.3 CM9
Asus Transformer - 3.2 Revolver

A creative product, but ultimately more hassle than it's worth. A phone case will protect it from falls; this product reduces the likelihood of drops but does nothing for you if you do.
And you have to remember to carry around your phone and this Flygrip. And you'll constantly be answering the question, "what's that?"

maybe everyone has small hands but i dont seem to have a problem only using 1 hand

What if you stick it on to your phone case?

I guess you could, but that seems cumbersome... You'd have a bulge in your pocket for sure, and then you'd be dealing with a whole new set of questions...

I wish there was a vote up button.. I just thank people that I think are witty
In terms of the product.. I do agree it would bring a slew of questions and I'm not sure how much help it would actually be.. guess I should try it before I say anything negative though.

A perfect example of a solution for a problem that doesn't exist.
Can't wait for the follow up product that allows you to strap a phone to your face so you don't miss that important message.

Actually, I think this is pretty cool. While it certainly isn't necessary, it looks actually pretty useful. I just ordered one for myself. I have smaller hands and the gNex has been a bit of a challenge lately since I can't text or browse one handed anymore. It comes with a free case (they're getting a batch of gNex cases in next week) so I'm going to attach it to the case or maybe just put it on one of the other cases I ordered. Oh and if you wan't free shipping, use the code "IDIOT".

I can't tell if your post was one long setup to a snarky punchline, or if "idiot" is an actual discount code.
The world may never know.

lol, sorry for sounding snarky. I totally didn't mean it to come out that way although that's definitely how it reads. "IDIOT" actually is the discount code. I found it by googling it (http://sideshownetwork.tv/category/shows/iotw).
I really did order this so as silly as it may appear to be, I don't mind being a guinea pig. I'll post my thoughts on it and the gnex case when it arrives hopefully next week sometime.

it does look interesting, altho useless.
apple brand it, and they've got themselves a winner.

I just wanted to bump this thread. I just put in an order for one after being on the fence for a while and will let you guys know how it is!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EKNUkB9N1Yg
That review kinda pushed me over the edge and with that "IDIOT" code (it gave me option to choose Next-Day shipping...for free), I was down to check it out.

Looks ghetto as hell but seems pretty functional since I always have problems reaching around the screen with one hand. I wouldn't mind getting one to try but getting it internationally shipped would probably add even more to the already steep price...
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk

You had me interested until I saw the price. $30 is way too much for what it does.

i picked one up out of curiosity... i like it. it's nice to be able to reach everywhere with your thumb and not have to reposition or oddly balance your phone. gimmicky ? yeah, kinda. will it become a must have on my phone ? i dunno, still getting use to the feel and i need to adjust the position of it a bit. there isn't a way to temporarily fit it in order to know exactly where you need to mount it so it's kinda trial and error for what's most comfortable. i ordered a couple spare mounting pads so i can dial it in then see how i like it.
they should cut down on the bells and whistles packaging and sell it for 8 bucks, that's what i see the retail value of something like this. i think they'd easily sell 5x the amount for 1/3 the price.

Very cool product. My main hesitation of using something like this, is the fact that it's a "permanent" fixture on your phone - unless you sacrifice a case and adhere the fly grip to it.
My second problem is the price. $30?? I would have thought no more than $5...

iSkin Cases for Galaxy S III

Saw an article on this today and it looks good...not too excited about the pricing on their site or the name beginning with an "i"
The iSkin Aura basically looks like a premium version of the Ringke Slim Lite (Which I have and is great btw). I might get it but I think I'll just wait until it hopefully appears on Amazon with a cheaper price and prime shipping.
http://www.iskin.com/samsung/galaxy/
iSkin Aura (3 color choices): $39.99

The ecplise aura will look good with my pebble blue gs3. I would have preferred a white/silver version instead of white/pink :/

The Aura one's look really nice, but didn't someone say something about aluminum backings interfering with NFC? The TPU Vibe cases for $30 is a joke.

But, if you never think you're gong to use NFC, then it's a moot point.

Anyone tried this? The price may appear a little higher.
It's beautiful but I don't really like that it won't stand on every surface.

Got my Aura today. The case itself looks very nice and feels solid, though I believe it does look a bit off on my white model. Very strong distinction between the phone and the case. (In the images in OP the phone looks far more gray than the actual phones - perhaps an optical illusion from the background?)
The case can be a pain to get off - partly due to the phone feeling so fragile when you start putting force on it. This is a good thing from a case perspective, as I'm sure it won't easily come off when it shouldn't. It doesn't add a lot of size to the phone, but with a phone this big (and small hands) you can tell every little bit. Not bad, but I did have to adjust.
NFC does NOT work. Which I'm disappointed by. I use it for all the vending machines/restaurants here at work, where I usually have my phone in my hands already. Due to this, I may look at another case option that allows NFC. If it wasn't for this, I'd keep the case for sure.
Pulling it out of the box I echoed the thoughts of "I'm actually paying this much for a case?" from when I bought it. No Snake Surprise in a can, or confetti was expected, but it was anti-climatic. I expect cases to earn their cost when the device is finally dropped. No, I will not drop this on purpose, but it feels like it will protect it reasonably well. I say reasonably because it does not wrap much to the front of the phone, so a screen-first landing will certainly still have a higher risk of scratching - but I like that it doesn't add much thickness. Plus, it does come with a screen protector.
I like it, and may keep it. If you use NFC, skip this and look into a silicon option... Maybe the vibes? (Someone please post if that allows NFC) If you don't use this and you have the cash burning through your pocket, I'd suggest this to a friend.

What's so good about these cases to be $39.99?

I like the look of these, fairly unique.
With that said,i already sent my refund request due to the nfc issue.

I bought the D3O case from tmobile, similar to this with a gimmicky "military grade" padding inside but so far i like it a lot. Nice grippy rubber coating on the outside and its fairly thin. Makes the phone not cramp your hand
I havent seen anyone else mention this case, sorry if it was already

Got a reply, and it was worth the $40. They are sending me a vibes case, and will contact me when their new NFC compliant version of the Aura is available to send to me. I'm always willing to pay a bit extra for a good company, and I certainly wouldn't have gotten this from an ebay seller. So while I'm not thrilled with the NFC issue initially, iSkin handled it perfectly.

Confirmed-No workie!

I tried NFC today for the first time with my iSkin Aura on my Samsung Galaxy S3. It definitely does NOT work. I held it up to my Nexus 7 several times with the case on in many different positions. Damn, I really like this case too. To confirm, I took the case off and tried sending a pic from the S3 to the Nexus 7 and presto chango, there it was. Now I need to decide if NFC is going to be used enough to have me looking elsewhere for a case. Anyone with any Option "2" cases for me? Anyone want to buy a Black/Red Aura? LOL! [email protected]
Peace, Out!

I have it on my schedule to call them today. Thanks for the heads up. I have purchased a few products from iSkin and they have always been great to deal with. I wouldn't have known about this if I didn't try and transfer a pic to my Nexus 7 yesterday. I was like "WTF"? I know this is supposed to work. Take the case off and presto/chango it works. So now I get to call customer service and get it handled.
I'll keep you posted. :laugh::good::laugh:

Anyone seen gimmick five slim "smart cover"

Has anyone out there heard or seen of these things. I was looking for a. Tpu. Or silicone case when I came accross these. I'm wondering what kind of build quality they have.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KeZJMJiu6uw&feature=youtube_gdata_player
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TF4bprFUwdE&feature=youtube_gdata_player

you dont have one? why did you call it a rip off then? just curious...it looks like a good case to me.

I have been looking at these and whilst I think it's great they are so slim I am a little concerned that if I remove the Note the back will be covered in the glue? Can anyone who has one please confirm? Thanks.

Mature name of the thread... not. Ask your dad to buy one for you and let us know what you think.

That's why I love xda. Is it wrong to find out if someone out there owns one and what its like. I don't mean ripoff money wise. I mean copy of crapple smart cover. Im not a kid and my dad is dead btw thanks. In the one video it shows them remove it from the sticky and show it won't stick to the case. So I'm not sure what it would do to the tablet pretty much why I asked.

The maker of the videos is located in Hong Kong, so I assume its a product from overseas, and although I'm willing to buy one I find it interesting, that the only place I see the Wraplette is on YouTube. There is no other mention of it other than videos. No place to buy it or a review of it. zip nada nothing.

I ordered the Gimmick Five a week ago (see this post). Hopefully I'll get the cover within the next week or two.
I'm just looking for something slim that will protect the Note against scratches while I wait for a better case. On the video it looks like magnets are used to lock the cover in closed position... I would have prefered an elastic band instead and not having the cover wrap around the edge to the back side.
Well well... we'll se what it's like when I get it.

PS. I've emailed Belkin asking them to make their fine Slim Folio Case for the Note 10.1 as well. A friend of mine has it for the iPad 2 and the case is awesome. To get in contact with Belkin I used this link and supplied the Youtube link as reference. I suggest everyone else do the same and maybe they'll listen to us.

Well if you don't want the bezel to be covered (I do) then you can just go for the Belkin Cinema Case for the Galaxy Note 10.1. Good materials used and nice finish I think.

Here's a video review of it... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=q_ymHTmbXGc
Personally however I prefer the bezel to be covered (even better protection).

I tried the Belkin case in the store. Feels very cheap and flimsy, especially for the price.

Ok, well then it must be very different from the iPad version which I think has very nice quality. If by flimsy you mean the opposite to stiff well then that's a good think imho.

So you guys are going to (semi) permanently glue your Note's to a case?
"Magic tape -- allows adhesive to the device firmly and removal the device hassle-freely without any mark of glue."

Yeah, no.

Ugh... this doesn't look good at all!!

So now we know that magnets really should be avoided on cases for the Note 10.1. As I wrote in an earlier post I would have preferred an elastic strap instead.

Magpul Nexus 5 field case photos *PICTURE WARNING*

Just received these cases in and thought I'd share some pictures. I will post up some thoughts on them after using a few days.

My only issue so far. The sharp edge on case bezel lifts the screen protector.
*UPDATE 1*
I received my Zagg Case Friendly screen protector. It works perfect with the Magpul case. It's also the HD film and it's really smooth to the touch... Unlike the original Zagg film. I definitely recommend this to anyone buying the Magpul cases when they become available.
*UPDATE 2*
I received my first wireless charger yesterday and it works perfectly with this case. The charger is the powerbot on Amazon. And charges pretty fast.

OMG!! Cant wait to get my hands on this case, nice pics btw.

Where did you get it?
Where did you pick up those cases? I called magpul direct as soon as they made the announcement on their FB page 2 weeks ago and they said that they were "shipping to distributors." So far I haven't been able to find anyone that has them listed for sale.
I want one of these very, very bad. In fact I have called magpul monthly since November when I got my Nexus 5 bugging them to make a case. And now they have!!!
Just gotta figure out a way to get my hands on one now...

I ordered them direct from magpul. They normally don't sell direct, but I chatted with the lady on the phone for a few and she let me order them. But, they do in fact have them. So, it shouldn't be long until they show up at dealers.

are there more colors available? looks awesome :victory:

Thanks for posting those pics! I have used Magpul in the past and they are indeed great cases.
I have a couple of questions if you don't mind.
1. Does wireless charging work with this case? I assume it does but just want to make sure.
2. Do you have any dealer names to keep on the lookout for the case availability? I know Amazon sells them but not sure about any others.
Thanks.

According to their email the other week, they should have all the normal colors they make for the iPhone.
I don't have a wireless charger, so I'm not sure on that part. I can't use one one either way, because I have a Scosche Magic mount plate between phone and case.
I have no leads on dealers as of yet. I was told they are being shipped, but not to whom.

How are the buttons? Easily pressed or rigid like most other TPU cases?

The power button has a noticeable clicky feel to it. I do find that you have to press the lower part of the button to get a consistent press, because the one raised rib goes around the edge and is the same height as the button.
The volume rocker doesn't have any clicky feel to it. Because of this, it's kind of hard to tell that there's an action unless you are looking at the screen.
Those things I can live with. I've already gotten used hitting the lower part of the power button and I don't use the volume button very much. I also ordered a Zagg case friendly screen protector to hopefully eliminate the lifting issue. Will, report back once I've installed.

Magpul told me that the first distributors that they shipped to are Midway and Brownells. Been checking at those sites several times a day with no luck so far though...

I was a little sketchy about these based on the CAD image, but these came out AWESOME. I would definitely rock one.

I really want this case. Soon as I can find it...(I didn't see it on amazon when I searched the site on my N5).
BTW, thank you so much, Rubicon, for taking the time to share this case with us.

I kind of feel bad guys...kind of. I guess I got lucky when I called last week. Like I said, they usually don't sell direct. That's why I didn't tell everyone to call Magpul asking to order.
On a side note the case has been great. It has a strange feeling to it. Rigid, but still soft textured. Can't wait to get my case friendly screen protectors tomorrow to fix the bubbles.

We are all just jealous.
I can't wait to get my hands on one. Kudos to you for getting lucky.

I'm probably only gonna use the FDE case, since I'm partial to the color.
If someone want's a black one bad enough...
I'll sell the black one for $40 lol

Definitly keeping an eye on this thread. This is one of the things I've been jealous of iPhone users about.
