Has anyone seen.... (stylus in case?)

Hey XDA!!!
I know some of you are accessory addicts! And I was just wondering if any of you have encountered a case for the T989 that has a slot for a stylus in it. I really enjoy using my stylus as the S2 is my work phone, and it especially helps when I am on the work site I can avoid getting my phone dirty or scratching the screen with micro-filaments of steel.
Please share if you have any idea!

Eh thanks for the reply but I am looking for a case, probably leather, that has a slot or an insert for a capacative pen for the T989. They had a case like this for my old Thunderbolt but I can't find one for this phone. If you have seen anything please let me know.
I have been waiting for replies on this thread for awhile

Post a pic or link to the thunderbolt case and Ill try to help you out.
Any leather pouch that can fit the phone and has room for styles should do for you right?
I figured you were looking for a hard case with a stylus slot

Any kind of case will do whether it be hard or leather. It just needs to be able to HOLD a stylus in place. Not necessarily be designed for one but at least hold it without it falling out.

You can probably find a lot of cases and pouches on eBay that can fit the phone and the stylus.

Video Review - Genuine Samsung Galaxy S3 SIII Vent Case - Black

This is my review of the Genuine S3 Vent Case
Youtube Link

this is not an samsung official released
edit, I just noticed it's by anymode, it's not actually official samsung release, but release by anymode, samsung authorised accessories. supplier.

Samsung officially authorized it, so basically the same thing

Screen
Hard to tell from your video, does it have any lip to lift the screen off of a table if it is set down on the face? I think I can see one, but you mention that it won't protect the phone at all if it is dropped on the screen, which tells me that it doesn't stick out at all.

No it doesn't have any lip to protect the screen, a nice feeling case but not one for protection.

Yes there is. It's not big lip but just enough to raise the phone that the screen doesn't touch the table when placed face down. And I think this provides protection to most vulnerable parts of the phone: corners.

Yes it does. I think it's stupid. And there's no real use for it either: With a coin in it's place, it's not something i'd call very stable, so i rather keep the phone in my hand or have it leaning against something. And the looks could be more like in the s2s version. Other than that, i think it's a great case and would highly recommend it to anyone looking for a minimal case that doesn't add to much bulk.
P.S. Just got the official slim case today (yes, the twin pack), so we'll see which one do i prefer...

I should have a replica mesh case soon which doesn't have the coin slot. Think if the quality is good it should be a wicked case.
The slim cases are nice I think you'll like them

If you take the battery cover off does it still fit good or is it loose?

Transparent back cover?

Hey there, I currently have the white S3 and I'm wondering if anyone knows where to get a transparent back cover to replace the white one that came with it. That would be awesome.

No idea but yeah, it would be awesome XD

HE is from Cleveland, English is like a second language there, so give him a break. how is he supposed to know the difference between back cover, and.. whatever he thought the rest of us are talking about?

you can use the samsung ultra slim covers just without the battery door of the phone, works well. tried it right now.

Closest thing I could find.

It isn't completely transparent, though. Just the outside edges.

You guys are hilarious!
Its a shame that there isnt anything like this. It would look so cool!

I fully agree.
well, there is the one guy that made silicone molds of his back cover, and then made a real CF one... perhaps he can be perswaded to use his molds to make clear ones from some other material?

I think it would look cool but it would also get severely dirty and/or yellow

Well I already fear that my original white back cover will gain that effect anyway, not too worried about a transparent one doing that.

I have a smoke coloured TPU case that looks pretty good. The picked it up on Amazon for 7$ish

so.. protection AND clearness? perfect for anyone that doesn't want to use an aluminum bumper.
and at that price, who cares if it yellows over time.. buy another.

That is a good idea! Does it fit tightly?
Sent from my SGH-I747 using xda app-developers app

yeah it works just as well.. those cases use the sides of the phone to hold the phone so.. shouldnt be any difference

worst case scenario: ad a LITTLE heat (like a tiny bit at a time) just to soften a tiny bit, and then push it closer to the battery. not too much, so you don't melt anything.

here my, it's a Box Wave case with no back cover. i don't use it much cause the power button is to stiff and the side grip feel like sh*t

I remember back in the day, those clear candy bar shape phones with the flashing lights inside was all the rage lol .. these phones just dont look as cool inside lol

Raspberry Pi Cases

Hey guys, so I've really really been contemplating picking up a Raspberry Pi but I'm just a little hesitant because I have heard rumors of Rev C being in the works right now. Anyways, I was interested in what kinds of cases you guys have on your Pi. I would love to see all the different kinds of cases you guys have

If you want a list of over 40 awesome cases for the RPi, I would take a look at http://elinux.org/RPi_Cases. It has everything from DIY Lego cases to cases made of wood and pretty much everything in between.
Sent from my SCH-I535 using xda premium

thanks
Thanks shrimp!

I got myself a Pibow, like the other poster I used cable ties through the holes to secure it. Before I bought the case I bought some rubber feet from ebay, but the threaded pins act as feet so they weren't needed. The build instructions ape the Ikea single sheet instructions, a nice cultural touch.

I finally got a pibow as well, I had a temp case cause I could never find the pibow I wanted in stock. Adafruit.com has them in the original and the new 4 colors. I got the ninja model. Also if you live in the US, youll have it in 2days. Its a great site for everything pi, arduino, electronics related you could want.

Was wondering what that case was called! Awesome! :good:

You could always make one yourself. I made this one.
Used materials:
Birch Wood 1/4 inch thick
Dremel/Jigsaw (cutting)
Wood varnish (i used one that had the polyurethane already in the paint
Wood filler
Sand paper (derp)
Crazy glue (it works well on wood apparently)
Wood burn kit (first time i ever tried my hand at it)
Bring on the BlackMage! Haduken!

Thanks for the link shrimp! A lot of cool cases.

Dock + case

I searched on here already, but couldn't find anything about this.
I'm looking for a dock I could use with a silicone or tpu case (not a folio). I have a cheap 'universal' eBay one for my S3, but obviously it's a bit more complicated with the Note's proprietary charger.
Does anyone know of anything? I'd be fine with a stand that holds it up high enough off a table top to plug a normal charger in as well.

I found these two on Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004NFNQWM/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A6U7LGCOJZZG2
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QCOKGO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I think this might be a better solution than a regular dock.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

Here are a few that may work for you, remember you can rotate the note 10.1 180 degrees and have the plug at the top and the screen will rotate for viewing.
