i think u prolly couldve found a better paint than engine enamel to spray silicone with..............

Lol I know but that's all I had lol....

I'm surprised about this spray because I've used it on other silicone cases and it comes out really nice

How did it come out? says on the can its heat temperant to like 550° ! lol enamel ftw
Sent from my SGH-T989 using XDA App

looks good man. does it effect the flexibility of the case?

Haha ok I totally forgot a step.....use primer first lol......so when I check it I flexed it a little bit and the paint cracked lol.....I'll redo it once I get the prime but it came out super nice

It does affect the flexibility a little. Makes the silicone a little more stiff but not that much more

Well I haven't tried with primer yet so it's cracking but I have to go buy primer after I'm done with work.... The red was also a fail lol.
I guess I just have to wait to buy some primer
Sent from my SGH-T989 using xda premium

Just to let everyone know that if your planning on doing this you're suppose to sand the silicone first with really fine sandpaper....
Also the primer has to be oil based same with the color.....work both with 2 coats

Wouldn't a clear coat of 3m or scotch guard do the trick without adding any of the "cracking" or stiffness issue ? I'm no expert, but if dust attraction seems to be the problem you would mostly likely just want to seal the original surface.....

Metal case

Is there any metal cases for the s4? Not aluminum but real metal
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda premium

well...
first off aluminum is a real metal, so not sure what you mean by that. what metal would you like to see? I haven't seen one that is solid metal. http://www.droid-life.com/2013/04/29/buy-this-metal-back-cover-for-your-galaxy-s4-if-youre-tired-of-the-plastic/
there is one back cover.
the other one I know of is the spigen slim armor, But it is not all metal either. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00BW6GIP2

If you have great signal where you're at... awesome, but if you struggle with signal, getting a metal case isn't a good idea from my experience. You may lose a bar or two. I have had more cases than I can count, ordering them like a kid in a candy store, except this time around with the S4. Having had issues before, if you do get one, I'd be interested in how it works for you because I wouldn't mind having a metal case myself.

My mistake then, I know previous spigen cases have had metal versions in the past. with a quick amazon search I saw it and just assumed.

Hey I actually found one.. It took me a while but they do have a metal case here's the link... http://www.casefanatic.com/samsung-...kommandant-samsung-galaxy-s4-metal-case-case/

[PIC] just got my moko case!!!! Best bang for your Buck !!!

Can't believe how nifty this case is. It has a hard back , flip cover and wake lock !! Yet it doesn't add much bulk, just how I like it. The ports are nice and easy to access. The case hugs the device nicely and its sleek looking. Unlike those leather crap around the bezel .
Overall I was planning to get a premium case but for this price I might just skip the premium case. Unless its reasonably priced.

Nice, I am still waiting for mine. Does the magnetic lock cover stay closed if you hold the tablet upside down?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

Yes! It's magnetic . The magnet also snap into the wake lock magnet as you fold in a stand as well so it doesn't unfold itself. Kinda smart...

Looks nice, I ordered the same one as well as the Poetic slimline.
When did you order yours? I was under the impression that they weren't being shipped until the 16th.
Now it says the 20th for shipping.

Look good. I ordered a white one. Yea I thought they were shipping out the 20th.
Oddly enough my portenzo hasn't arrived and said it was supposed to be done by the 9th. This thing really needs a case cause I'm so paranoid with it right now.

If you were worried you could always apply some clear packing tape over the metal part. That stuff sticks like...packing tape!

How sturdy is it when in stand form (both high and low). It it really stable?

I like this one better as it looks a bit more uniform and covers the side buttons and the bottom better. Poetic makes some nice cases

I can confirm it's sturdy enough because the magnets keep the cover in place so it doesn't unfold itself. It also folds both ways meaning you can have the inside of the cover showing or the black side showing.

From the nexus 10 review the moko is generally better build quality than poetic... Plus covering the side and bottom just makes it more difficult to use them... Disclaimer I have the moko for nexus 10... Its great for the price

Go to any Decathlon store: they have plenty of colors , generic armbands.

I know you said armband but you should check out flipbelt.com I was looking for an armband til I found this. You forget its on, nothing moves around and can just cover with your shirt. Its really thin too.

I use it for running and I've never had to flip it either. Its pretty secure without doing it since its stretchy material. Good thing about it is you can stuff things anywhere so phone up front and keys a safe distance away.

Spigen SPG cases?

So I saw this case on eBay

Wow. Seriously?

There are like 4 forums for this case...

Simple question. No harm done. Please find something more worthwhile to be annoyed about.
Thanks for the direction...:good:

I own this case. it's ok. the buttons are very flush and it's hard to distinguish if the phone is upside or not. and there is space on the headphone jack and USB cut out letting a lot of crap come in which sucks with a clear case. buy the slim armor it's a lot better I have the white one and love it
