Anyone know a nice simple kickstand we can use for the Kindle Fire? I bought a leather case from Amazon for $25, but haven't grown much into liking the bulkiness it adds :/
This is the case I bought btw: (http://www.amazon.com/splash-SIGNAT...FSOQ/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1323321993&sr=8-1)
Please tell me someone knows of a nice kickstand? I may even trade the case for it if interested.
My thoughts exactly, I purchased a Case-Mate for my Epic 4G Touch solely because it has a kickstand
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0..._m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_r=08APJ1G512C5J00EFZHP
So I was looking for a case for the Kindle Fire that has a kickstand and decided to buy this
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00656XUGY/ref=oh_o00_s01_i01_details
Landscape and portrait, I hope I don't think it's too bulky like you feel your case is, although they do look very similar
Elephant, do you have that white case?
//Tapatalk.KindleFire//
I don't have this, but it seems to be a much thinner option with a kickstand...http://www.amazon.com/Amazon-Kindle...4?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323327074&sr=1-4 not sure if its what you had in mind.
Or a more literal answer to your question of "Just a kickstand" http://www.amazon.com/Compatible-kickStand-computer-aluminum-reinforced/dp/B005VCIARW/ref=sr_1_cc_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1323327232&sr=1-1-catcorr Which is literally just a kickstand, seems impractical though.
That last pic you posted of the white stand is probably closest to what I have in mind, but it's ugly and bulky as hell! lol
If I could find something that looked just like an L and was lightweight and thin, I would be in heaven.

Maybe you can convince them to make a bit larger version of this?

But no.. in all seriousness I haven't seen any great solutions for what you are describing yet. I'll be interested to see what people come up with, though.

Got that one, its thin enough to fit in my front pocket and its very slick. Don't even notice it at all. GL on the stand though.
After getting the Androidfied A2's from Cruzer lite, I didnt think they could top themselves. I was wrong. When I heard about the new cases and saw them, I just couldnt wait. Here is a little review about this series.
The feel of them is different than the A2's but not in a bad way. Feels smooth and higher end, but still TPU. Its not slippery at all. Also, feels just a tiny bit thinner but I know its prob just me excited about the new cases. Also, I noticed new packaging. Thats even better too, lol
The cutouts are still perfect from the A2's. Seems they changed it just a lil bit to help with people with big headphone jacks. I dont use any, so I couldnt test. Unless someone wants to send me a nice pair of headphones
This is their designer series and they are sick. I loved the Androidfied A2's Andy on the back, but these are just so much more, "I LOVE ANDROID" user. Which I do love Android, lol. Its going to be hard to get all of these series as they have so many to chose from
Overall, this is just a tiny bit better than the A2 series. Its very close though. I think what makes it stand out as the winner is cuz of the designs and the feel of the new ones. It is WELL worth the $15 for the case. I think that is why I keep going back to Cruzer lite is because he doesnt over charge for his cases when he knows he could. Thanks again.
Click here for the new series
Pics attached
I ended up getting in on the buy one get a random case free deal and got the Assembling Andy and The Rorschach cases for $15 with free shipping! Great deal because these cases are sweet.
They fit perfectly with or without extended battery. All the cutouts are fine. Usb and headphone jacks fit fine.
The feel is smooth and goes in and out of pocket easily.
Not sure what else to say. They're great and worth it even at full price.

I know where I am stopping to get some new threads. Thanks for the heads up.
I have the Original and the A2's. IMHO i don't like these. With a motive printed on the case looks cheap, plus $15 imho is steep. I like unicolor,simple cases. Maybe a good looking 2 tone, but a motive is really hmm... i don't know for me.
Even a TPU rainbow case a la A2's will cut it for me. But there's something about adding it a printed motive in the TPU i dont dig :s

I have the original and A2's as well. I can see what you mean, but I like showing off my phone and these cases just do it so much more. The price, if you think about it isnt that bad at all. You see others charging 20-30$ for something like this. But that is just my 2 cents on it. I rushed out and bought all the colors I liked for the A2's and I think with these, I might get 1 or 2 more. But I like how cruzer lite keeps coming out with new designs. I have OCD and cant keep the same case on for more than a few days, so his designs help my problem, lol.

I can respect this opinion but just wanted to let people know that in person these cases don't look or feel cheap in the slightest. They are really high quality and, at least with the two that I got, they look great.
I haven't been able to take off the Rorschach case yet... something about the white case on the Gnex just looks awesome to me. The Assembling Andy case hasn't gotten hardly any play yet.

Hey there,
does anyone know a good alternative to the horrible original Galaxy Note Flipcover? Mayone one made of real leather?
I really hope there's any good version of this great case type!
Hope for your numerous answers!

Hi,
thanks for your answers!
Yes, these flip covers look good, but the original one has a must have feature for me: It replaces the battery cover so it doesn't make the phone thicker and keeps its great look and feel.
I suppose there's no battery cover replacement flip cover in good quality anywhere out there?

OK, I don't take responsibility for this as I still don't recommend those type of cases (less material, less protection ) but on the picture it looks like what you are looking for. It says it's aluminum so should be better it terms of durability, but I don't know if it won't reduce your signal strength a bit.

It doesn't look like PU leather, more like some kind of carbon/textile. That seems to be awesome!
Now I just have to think about if I take this one or the one suggested in the kick stand thread. Great!
Cheers,
Aryana
P.S.: I don't like big cases like silicone bumpers or bags or something like this. I just trust in my ability to handle my phone without letting it fall to the ground. That worked with other phones for years, so I take the risk.

Yup, the one from Anymode looks really nice. But you will probably have to wait a few days or maybe weeks until it's available outside Korea (or you can try buy it from their website, I don't speak Korean so I can't help you with that). And it won't be cheap as I suppose it won't be less than $50-$60 without shipping.
UPDATE:

(I don't if the the seller is trustworthy, it's for you to decide)
But this case actually makes the phone a few millimeters thicker, so you should think again what's your priority. High quality looks or phone slimness.
Oh no, that's too expensive for me. Not bad at all, so my decission was easy!
I just ordered the Flipcover that you suggested for 20$. I hope I will receive it in May and give feedback after I got it!

Yes there is. Check out Amazon uk. Samsung have a lizard leather flip case. Much stronger than original flip. I have had it for approaching a month now and no sign of wear. At it is thicker than original, it takes a little bit more pressing down on the back to secure it. But once it is on, it does the job of protection, looks stylish and professional. I have photos of it in the 'post your case' thread if u r interested
Holy moly, in my opinion that "lizard"-style leather is ugly!
Thanks for your answer, everybody who loves this leather style will love this case too! But that's nothing for my sense of style.
If they produced this flipcase with "normal smooth" leather...
Anyways, I'm waiting for my blue flip case from Hongkong which is already on its way to me. Hopefully that's good quality, than it's perfect for me.

Wow, it just arrived. Unbelievable fast, I thought I would be very lucky if I get it next Friday.
My first thoughts are very positive: It fits perfect and feeld high quality.
The Flip gives a good protection, it's very strong. The battery cover is a bit thicker than the original one, so it protects the camera lense but doesn't make the phone bulky.
Two little disadvantages: It smells quite bad, but I believe in a week the stink is gone. And the back is very smooth, even a bit slippery. The plastic texture of the original had more grip, but it the aluminium looks simply great. So that's ok.
I'm very happy with it!

Congrats on your case!
I am not sure if the seller is trust worthy either, but does anyone know if the
Anymode Case Galaxy Note Stand Folio Case Series from ExportPrive would work on the SGH-I717 or is it just for the International Note?
Edit:
Also Found it on Amzon for $85
Edit 2:
Ater some google-fu on the case and exportprive, I went ahead and ordered it. Apparently the case is made for the Japanese model of the Galaxy Note, so it does have the NFC antenna on the battery cover of the case (I have the SGH-i717) . The only foreseeable downfall I see is that it doesn't snap on properly, that would hurt. But for $63 including shipping, I say it is worth the risk considering I fell in love with the anymode case at&t sells, but thought it was to pricey for a brick&motor store to sell. Now I will get a kick stand plus earpiece cut out! Will update when I receive it.
"Genuine" Samsung flip cover
Hello Friends.
I intend on purchasing a genuine Samsung flip cover (white) for my Galaxy Note (ceramic white).
I had a look on Amazon UK and for illustrative purpose I have posted the link below.
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Fli...D4TM/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1338410191&sr=8-1
The product is Samsung Flip Cover for Galaxy Note - Blue by Samsung. Considering it has by Samsung displayed on the link, is it safe to presume it is a genuine Samsung product?
I ask the above because the Samsung UK website does not have any cases/covers listed under the Accessories category.
http://www.samsung.com/uk/consumer/mobile-devices/mobile-phones/accessories
@Aryana90 do you mind posting some pics of the cover on your phone? Is it a replacement back cover, like the "genuine" cover?
The genuine cover (in YLNdroid's post) is a lovely fit, but probably isn't great for long term use, a lot of people complain that it wears out quickly. But it only adds about 1.5mm to the phone, so that's very attractive.
V
Yes, it is a replacement back cover. I think it adds not more to the phone than the original cover, but seems to be better quality. And looks amazing in blue!
I try to make some pictures this evening and will post it here.

Aryana90, is the said cover you purchased as good as the "genuine" one? Does it have Galaxy Note inscribed on the front and Samsung inscribed on the rear?
If so, where can I get one in white colour? I have a ceramic white Galaxy Note.
I apologise for sounding a bit too paranoid perhaps! With all due respect, I do not want a sub-standard case/cover for my Galaxy Note.
The S3 will be my first android phone worth putting a case on. My MOTO DX2 is a beast and never needed one.
I dont like cases on my electronics. Ive had good luck for many years though. Never broken a screen on a smartphne.
Since I dont like cases I saw these sleeves and had to have one. They are the same material as maserati and porsche interiors. As a car junkie i couldnt pass.
Ordered one in grey for my white S3. It should be a cool look.
anyone had experience with these? or sleeves in general? Like? Dislike?

I want to inform you that I just had a little talk with someone from Otterbox.
I asked him if they were planning make a case for the Nexus 5. After disappearing for 10 minutes he just told me that they are not planning on making a case for that device!
Too bad! My colleague has it on his Iphone and my mom on her S4, and I think Otterbox cases are great.
Any recommendation for something similar? I'm pretty rough with my phones :/

Trident cases are better in every way, well known with those who use such cases. Also, I would trust nothing that *someone at Otterbox* told you. Odds are, they were talking out of their ass unless you happen to know someone in the RnD department.

Spigen Slim Armor seems popular. There are eBay cases as well. The Armorbox is getting some attention as well by iBlason. All of these options are much less expensive than an otter.

Very, very true. I once used Otterbox commuter cases (Hero and GS2), but then I discovered the Trident Aegis and it literally is better in every way on the GS2. I even bought more of them for my family members. Trident uses dust filters over the speakers and mic that really help keep debris out of those very important openings on the phone. I did however have a bad experience with a defective (or maybe poorly designed) Kraken case from Trident. It was made of a much cheaper feeling plastic and the power button broke off on the first time I used it. I will give them the benefit of the doubt that the item I got was a lemon. I hope they make an Aegis for the N5, I bet it will be great.

They take time to make theirs, but they did make one for the Galaxy nexus. Given a week or 3 I will bet they will have one. Could always email them and ask.

I don't know about the quality because I've never tried this brand, but it looks comparable to the UAG, otterbox commuter or trident aegis.

Damn I was hoping for a case along the lines of the Defender, Armor, or Preserver series from them. =\
I still have my Trident Kraken case for my Galaxy Nexus. The case made the GNex really thick but it had a kickstand and really good protection!
Better this way!

Well there is no way to know that they aren't gonna make an Otterbox for this phone. If the market is there, they will make it. Just because the fella this guy talked to doesn't know about one doesn't mean there isn't one, or won't be one. Just cross your fingers and maybe e-mail them about it!

I concur, I remember times in the past where different reps said different things. And in the end, something completely different happens. You never know. I just with there could be a Lifeproof or Armor
It seems that every time when a new nexus device comes out. There is always a thread similar to this. Otterbox are not very friendly towards nexus devices, there are alternatives out there.
As I always say, don't beg a company to make a case for a particular phone. If they don't make it, go to a competitor of Otterbox and give them your money instead.

I used a SEIDIO case on my Nexus 4 and I liked it, though I would have preferred an Otterbox. The Active case I had is sort of like an inverted Otterbox Defender--silicone on the inside and an outer plastic covering. I liked that it did NOT have a built-in screen protector.
Anyway, I contacted SEIDIO to see if they had anything in the works and it appears they do:
