Hey all,
Has anyone seen one of these new fangled cases with card slots for credit or business cards for the 989?
Thanks!

The 989 has been robbed of cases no novelty cases either ie. gameboy looking or cassette style .. very disappointing...
I bought one of the stick on card holders on amazon and then sanded down the bump on my d3 case... works ok, but it messes with the flash a bit.
I saw someone with this on an iPhone the other day and wondered if they had one for us too. Cool idea.

The lowest I could get the card case without covering the speaker makes it so cards pretty much underline the "8.0" text, which seems fine in theory, but actually reflects a little flash and messes with my photos. If you need to use flash you will have to remove any full cards from the case, but since I rarely use flash this hasn't been a big deal. I suppose I could have just put the pouch off center and put it even lower, but that seems silly. I have been happy with mine.

When isis is ready, we may not need pull credit cards any often.
Just tap the phone when you pay.

Okay, sounds dumb, I hate carrying a wallet. Discovered that I can very easily put my debit card behind the back cover of the phone and the case.
Yeah... Basic I know, but perhaps others haven't thought of it.
Very good idea actually.. Are you talking about the gel case?
Have you seen the cases designed for this as well, i saw a few on Ebay that had the debit card slot but they were leather. Pretty cool!
^^ yeah, the black one that was the only option at release.
^ got a link, that sounds pretty awesome!
Good call, I tuck one of those lint free cloths behind mine for the occasional screen cleaning

Unfortunately, there are none like it for the Vibrant as far as from what I can tell by searching.

Awesome idea. Now when I palm your phone at the bar, I can get your card too. lol
I liked to see someone take my phone... they would be better off punching my mom in the face.
losing your phone would be exponentially gayer though

I need to get one of these once I figure it just case situation. How will this affect the upcoming charging mat btw?

I would pick one up but $30 seems expensive for what it is. I do like it tho.
Thanks for bringing this product to my attention. They also have a deal on a free case with a order. I just placed my order. Thanks again man.
Thanks for posting, I ordered it.
The free cases were unavailable
I cant believe people are paying $30 for that.
Pay me $25 and I will train you on how to hold your phone. Deal?
I think this is great. Ordered 2. Couldn't leave the gf out. She saw it and said "i need that for my galaxy note".

I wanted to see the free case that comes with it. However, I really like the idea. I could purchase an extra back for my phone so I could just swap backs when I am leaving the house. I WISH I could see this in stores first as I have watched the video on how to tell which size to use, but I am not sure as to how far down on my fingers I would hold the phone. I also would like to see how easy it would be to pull the adhesive of; I would hate to substitute this as a case and then be out in the Texas heat with this thing on and the adhesive wear off, sending my $600 phone plummeting to its death. However, pretty good review I will keep my eyes on this accessory.
Oh, and I am also curious as to much thicker the small and medium
TL;DR: I need to see this in person first before I spend $30.

Nice woulda been nice to have know about this with the Samsung Galaxy Note.
It's good that there is free shipping but after watching the videos the guy did say that they are available at Inmotion stores...mostly
in airports. Here is a link to the site.

Put that good phone to use and give them a ring to make sure it is in stock before you go.
Just got this today. The thing looks quite functional, but I wonder how durable it is in the long run?
The case seems like generic black TPU, feels a bit rubbery. Although, I haven't owned a phone case in a while so I can't say. I'm on the fence about it, but will put it through its paces before passing judgment.

I've had mine on other phones for a while now and it has lasted... No issues with it wearing out!

Training us to hold the phone is not the point. I can't even reach the Menu button or a lot of real estate on this phone much less hold it without the threat of dropping it while trying to operate one handed. With one of these my thumb will be able to reach all areas of the screen with no danger of me dropping the phone. There are many times when one-handed usage is ideal, but this phone is so large for most it's not possible. I bought one just the other day and only wish I had happened upon this thread first to get the free shipping. Did get a free case, though.

Just wondering if once on is there any method to loosen the adhesive to take it off. Due to dropping my first phone I have an extra case as well as an extra battery. I'm planning on using both cases-will place Flygrip on one and leave the other original. I'm just thinking I might not like the color (I ordered white for my blue S3) and may order another color and take the first one off.
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.

Like the Mophie but with a slot for a micro SD?
I mean if you're going to add that battery and bulk why not use some of that space for a microusd slot?
Imagine that, slip your phone into the case, have extra battery AND a place for your tunes, etc!
Now this is a novel idea

What a great idea! I wonder why this has not been done before? maybe due to the connection being different for power and file transferring?
This should be done though! I am sure it would sell
Not that I have ever seen, that is actually a very cool idea though.
Heck... skip the battery and just have the expansion slot.
I did find this though... It's small enough to not be a burden to carry.
It also seems like they have this for iPhones (like almost everything else) so it can be done.
Honestly Android manufactures (the DROID line to be specific) has tarnished it's reputation by pushing out so many devices within a short period of time that engineers can't possibly keep up because of the radical design changes. It's unfortunate.
Woah. The SD card reader thing looks freakin' awesome! I love that I can put it on my keys! That was my only concern- leaving it my pocket, destined for the laundry. Since that's taken care of, I might actually get one!
So let me bump this.
Is there A case with a build in micro SD slot out there?

Apparently not, anyone think a kickstarter project is in order? :victory:
Could make it quite slim or add a battery pack, whatever. Even dual microSD slots or at least a space or two for spares.
I patentedit as soon as I read the post lol

Bump. Does anybody have the funds/contacts to make something like this?
The battery is not a necessity. Something like a protective case (Otterbox), but with an SD card slot.

Hi All,
I've attached a few pictures of the Sonivo Wallet case for the nexus 5. It also has a sleep sensor but the best way to show that is through video, will try to upload to youtube and this thread a little later today.
I've been using it for a couple days now and it's a brilliant, sleep sensor works perfectly, it's the only case I've come across that has this feature! All the additional pockets on the inside come in handy too.
It's available on amazon which is where I got mine from, arrived a day after I placed the order so they've defo got stock of these already. You can search for it on amazon "Sonivo Premium Leather Wallet Case nexus 5"
I'll try my best to get a few more pics and that video up a little later today so you can see for yourself why I think this case is so good.
If you have any questions post a comment and I'll try reply as soon as!
link on amazon: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Premium-Lea...1&keywords=sonivo+premium+wallet+case+nexus+5
Only thing I hate about this case is the fact that it has sim slots.

Looks nice. Looks like no one in the US stocks it unfortunately.
I hope they bring some of these over they look nice.
Looks nice enough for £12. Ordered one. Like the idea of a wallet. I've a dt-910 and if I could combine a wallet case that would work with QI charging I'd be happy! Happy to pay a fair bit more for something premium, suggestions anyone?

Received mine today
Well actually it's not for me but for my husband's new phone. I knew he had been looking for something with sensors so had bought this case after reading about it here. I don't usually write on forums but I thought that it might be worth sharing my 2 cents worth given that I wouldn't have found the case had it not been for coming across this xda thread.
It arrived really quickly so was able to surprise my husband with it before he flies out tomorrow. Looks like a nice case in terms of finish. Stand is easy to use and I can attest to the sleep sensors working perfectly. Obviously it's early days so might convince my husband to write a more in-depth review of it in a few weeks. The phone was easy enough to get in the case, getting it out can seem harder but I just clipped a corner out and the rest followed without effort. Test shot with the camera was fine but again it was just one pic so will see what's it's like when you need to take images on the move etc.
One thing I noticed someone mention is the SIM card holders. While I agree that I personally would have no use for them, they are definitely going to be useful for my husband who has one of these global SIM cards for when he travels. Either way I don't think they are obtrusive given that they are on the inner flap and out of sight most of the time.
Anyway let me know if anyone wants any pics posted, though I won't see the case (or my husband) for a week after tomorrow. Or even if anyone has questions...
