Case with card slot(s)

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.

Flip wallet with no cradle

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.

[Q] Impossibly thin back cover!!

Just bought my Note 2. The battery came half full so it's charging right now.
The first thing I noticed was the impossibly thin back cover and wondered how many people have managed to break theirs...
It'd be fine if it were made of carbon fiber, but plastic this thin will eventually break, no matter how malleable it is. For crying out loud, I've seen sheets of paper that are thicker than this!
How many of you have broken it already?

It's not going to break under normal use. If you take it off and bend it 90 degrees maybe, but it's not just going to spontaneously shatter on you.

Most people use a case so it wont break from dropping.
Ive never felt like it was going to break when removing or replacing it either.
As long as your not trying to break it, it wont break from normal use.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda premium

The thinner it is the less chance it will break, crack or split.under normal use. I have had mine for just over 3 months and have removed it maybe 10 times. It still loks like new. You should be more worrried about the front anyway. A new case cost buttons in comparrison with the screen or digitizer.

People said the same thing about the galaxy s 2 back cover when that came out. Check out this video of it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fu5qy6gffbs&feature=youtube_gdata_player

Samsung's been using this stuff for years for a simple reason - it's light, and strong.

Been using s2 before this and never heard of broken backcover. You would be surprise how malleable and strong it is.
Now a broken screen is another matter that you should be more concern about.

They must create it like that to make the device light

I changed the back cover. Cheap and cool.

My god that is super blingy

i dropped mine from like 15 cm from the ground went it came flying out my bag, it cracked, you can barely notice it
but once i know it's there it ****ing bothers

Well buy a replacement, they're cheap.

Every 2-3 days I replace my battery with a charged one and I have done this with my note N7000 as well as my current N7100. This had led me to zero issues, not even a piece of the battery casing on either phone have broke off. These were designed very well where they will hold up to more than your everyday usage.

Just a quick heads up for battery cover buyers:
The item listing doesn't say whether this cover contains the NFC antenna like the Samsung covers do. I know some of the aftermarket covers don't have it. Anyone wanting to retain NFC functionality should be sure and check this before ordering an aftermarket Note 2 battery cover.

Well mine got nfc on it. And even it doesnt got one its just $0.99

As it's a metal back cover I don't think the NFC will work.
Someone posted in the accessories section saying they had bought a metal back cover with NFC, however upon testing it the NFC didn't actually work.
For someone like me in the UK though that's hardly an issue, NFC isn't widely used here, the only use we have for it now is if we want to use NFC tags, and that's about it.

FWIW, I have an Epic 4G that uses the same thin plastic back. I've had that phone for 2 years and there are no cracks, damage to the phone or anything. Actually looks pretty darn new, save for where some of the clearcoat is coming off around the speakerhole. Of all the things to be concerned about on this phone, the back is the least of my worries.

Does such a case exist?

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.

(Video Review) Sonivo Nexus 5 Wallet Case with a Sleep sensor

Here it is guys, the review I done for this case. Absolutely in love with it.
I thought I'd share this with everyone as if you look online there really are no wallet cases in the world like this to have the sleep wake function.
If you want more information about this case reply to this thread and I'll try to best answer your questions.
Hope you like the review and the case as much as I do!
Whoever this sonivo crowd are, they smashed it with this case :good:

Everything looks great. I keep wanting a case like this but taking pictures seems to be a pain. How easy is it to take the phone in and out of the case?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 4

Does the magnet interfere with the phone in any way? Maybe the compass or any other sensors?
[Edit] also, is the phone held snugly in the case or does it seem like I could come out with just a bit of flexing?

It's fairly easy to get the phone in and out. If you insert the case one side at a time its really easy. I normally insert the phone in from the left side then once that's in, clip the right side it. Getting it out is the same thing just in reverse. The support on the case is tough but does have a bit of allowance to allow the phone to come out.

Been using it for a few days now and haven't had any problems with it.
No movement from the phone once it's in the case. It's a hard case support thats made especially for the Nexus 5 so once the phone is in won't be going anywhere.
Hope that answers your questions.

One other question: does qi charging work with this case or is it too thick?

Seconded. This looks like the best case with an autowake cover. But it's also the only one that's not available in North America

I was curious about this wake n sleep function and played with a magnet on the phone, the sensor seems to be on the top left corner of the screen. Might glue a thin magnet into the cheapish pink wallet case my gf got for her N5 to ad this feature :good:

Where can or will Americans be able to purchase this? This case seems to be the best option and I only use wallet cases.

I have one that's similar:
http://www.amazon.com/SUPCASE-Googl...=UTF8&qid=1384880507&sr=8-13&keywords=supcase
The only issues are (1) doesn't work with a car mount as is a frequent case problem and (2) the phone seems to get hotter with a wireless charger than the phone gets without the case on.

I'm assuming if you have this case, you have your phone in your jacket pocket.
I'm also a bit worried about the magnet for the flap, wouldn't it demagnetize your cards?

I've not had any problems with the case demagnetising my cards, I really only keep my one credit card in there which I use on a daily basis and thats worked fine since I've been using this case.
