Hi all,
I just bought a leather cover for my Nexus. Its a sideways flap which flaps on with the help of the magnets (two button magnets on the flap and two on the cover itself).
Altho they're not really strong magnets but when the phones in the cover, all the hardware is in the magnetic field. Will this eventually screw up the components of the phone??
I've a blackberry which has a magnetic holster n the blackberry devices r programmed to behave differently when inside the holster (ie in a magnetic field). So with the blackberry there seems to be no problem so far..
Would really appreciate your views on this....

am looking for a cover for my xda iis

I just a case from Senacases and I love it. Should have got it 2 months ago when I got my SX66 but put it until last week when then phone slipped out of my hand taking it out of the case it came with. Ever seen a grown man cry? Slightly bruised but it survived. The Senacase slips over the keyboard and then you slide it down so you have full access to the keyboard and the protection you need. The belt clip is also awesome. Great case for $49.99
I use a Krussell Handit case, you can get one in the UK from add-ons world for £17.99.
You open the keyboard and slide it in place, a piece of clear plastic covers the keyboard and the leather flaps down and has poppers to secure it on the back.
I received mine with a standard belt clip and also a swivel belt clip, which is compatible with other swivel (multidapt) mounts.
You can plug in the bottom connector and access most functions pretty easily, including plugging a headset in whilst the case is closed.
The downside is that the sides aren't very well protected and the camera is covered by the back cover, although it does unclip it isn't very good.
i second the krussell soft case. it's excellent and doubles as a wallet
I will suggest a Krusell Multidapt case. It is unique compare to others. You don't have to take the whole deivce out while making a phone call.

I wanted a horizontal carry case that fits my phone + TPU case on days when I don't have a pocket in my jacket because I don't like having it in my pants pocket.
Look
The case is a big. Certainly adds to the dimension of an already sizable phone. I doubt it's genuine leather at this price, but the material seems nice and the case feels well-made. The magnetic flip cover also works well.
Functions
The leather case fits my t989+diztronic case snugly. There is some tension provided by the elastic sides to hold the t989 snugly in the case but not so tight that you cannot take the phone+case out. Further more, there is a cut-out on the bottom of the leather case that allows you to push the phone out.
Headphone port is accessible. None of the other buttons / USB port is accessible while the phone is in the leather case.
There is a clip on the black in addition to a belt loop. Either clip on to your pants, or use a belt with the leather case.
Conclusion
I like it for the build quality and look. It's just a bit big so I am not going to use it if I have a pocket in my jacket to hold the phone. On days that I have no pockets though, the case will be very useful.
This case looks promising. I ordered one for myself in hope that my mugen extended battery will fit. Any thoughts, will it fit smoothly or will I have difficulties?

Does your phone with extended battery fit in this case?

That was a Diztronic TPU case.
I've bought a Smart cover case on eBay, but it's very thick And i hate the fact that i cant remove the cover (like an ipad). Also, the magnets in the back of the case are interfering with the wacom digitzer, which makes writing with the pen impossible in certain areas. Is there a slim case which has a detachable front cover and which has as few magnets as possible?

I've monitored all the case threads and online, too. Haven't seen one, yet.
I just bought a Note II on ebay and it comes with those OEM samsung battery door with attached leather flip cover.... no standard battery cover
Would it look awful if I just cut out the leather part?
Has anyone else done this?
I want to cut it so that i can slip on another cover I bought, which obviously wont fit the phone if the leather part is still attached
You can buy a battery door for like $10 on ebay
Cutting the leather off will not really work. The back is slightly shaped different to hold the leather and back together so a case wouldn't fit.

If you slip another TPU type cover, it will work fine. I have the Samsung flip cover with a Mercury TPU over the whole thing and they fit fine. The only issue is that I needed to cut the flip cover side of the TPU cover to accomodate the flip to work. So I basically did the reverse of what the OP is intending to do.
Once you cut the flip cover off, you will have an odd looking side but with the extra cover, it should be completely covered...
On the other hand, I would also suggest buying a new back cover and do away with all this cutting and modding cover non-sense...
Hi all,
Just been looking at a few different car docks for my N5 that have Qi wireless charging and come across two which I'm tossing up..
There's the AirDock ($69) which holds the phone via magnets and micro suction foam
iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Charger, ($72) which has the locking mechanism rather than magnets..
Has anyone had experience with either of these two? I'm leaning towards the Airdock, but my next question is, whether the magnets will work through my Spigen SlimArmor case.... wireless charging works fine through it, so I'm assuming the magnets would too..?
TL;DR- will the magnetic mount work through a Spigen Slimarmor case?
I got an airdock myself. And use a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case. The magnets are pretty strong.
And even if they are not strong enough to use with the Spigen Slim armor case. There is a sticker with metal slaps (really thin) wich you could stick on the inside of your case.
Inductive charging will work just fine i recon.
Hope that helped.

That would definitely do it if the internal magnets didn't work too well through the case.. Thanks for your help!
