Has anyone used this case? I bought the kickstand case and after 3 weeks the bottom half of the kickstand broke off. I was thinking of getting the credit card case because in L.A. we have these things called Tap cards for bus passes. You just tap it onto a sensor and it'd be easier for me to tap my phone and put the card in the slots. Is the case fine? Is the plastic between the slots and the back of the thick or just right for sensors to maybe reach it?
Sorry for writing so much!
Thank You.

I don't know about those cases but that's a great idea! I wouldn't mind having one for a pay pass debit card. They work on the same concept.

i have the case mate for the mt4g. it hold up to 3 cards. works amazingly. not sure about your bus pass though
I've used that case since December of last year. It's a really nice case and it holds 2 cards, but I managed to fit one more, lol. As far as the Tap card goes, I'm not sure. Never tried it. I always had the Tap in my pocket. Not so sure if it'll work since it is a little thick.
I have one really convenient
Where did you guys find this case with credit card slot?
please link.
^google "casemate mytouch 4g"
I love mine, had it on since I bought phone last year. It is only good for 2 cards though, I have found 3 makes it too tight to pull them out. It has literally saved my phone from a lot of damage.

Planning on picking this up at local TMO store today after work. They have em on sale for $15, and my best skins ever is peeling off, so I figured why not? I like the idea of the card holder...any more updated reviews on this case? Does it protect decently? Not too bulky?
UPDATE in case anyone reads this thread: The $15 price was only for online TMO, in-store was still $35. But I wound up getting it on Amazon for $10
Quick review: Love the case. It adds a little bulk to the back of the phone (due to the slot for cards), but not much - and I consider it worth it because I can fit: my drivers license, my bank card, my metro pass, and my gym key card all in the space provided; which means I don't have to carry my wallet around, so the slight bump in the back of the phone is worth it to me. (Side note that makes this case more beneficial: there's growing evidence to support that carrying a wallet in your back pocket can lead to serious back problems).
Just a very quick review of my Easecase E5 which arrived about a week ago.
You can see pictures of it by search eBay for "Easecase E5 galaxy note" (without quotes), there's one here : http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/E5-EASECA..._MobilePhonesCasesPouches&hash=item5ae4059699
(I did get a bit of a shock when I saw that - that is my actual one - with my name on it, I was just searching for one at random)
Delivery time:
As mentioned in other parts of this forum, delivery times for Easecase are pretty woeful. I ordered on the 25th of November and, it arrived here a few days over a month later in Sweden. The problem seems to be largely that they ship via China Post which is quit slow - they dispatched it (with trackable* shipping) within about a week. I bought it through eBay, so I am not sure if they have another outlet, and, they make it very clear on their eBay items that they will take a looong time to ship, so, I can't take any points off them there.
Build quality:
It is beautifully put together. There's a slot running down the inner spine for the stylus, and my name is embossed on the front. I would characterise it as high quality.
Outside:
I opted for the magnetic clasp. It isn't a very strong magnet, but does the job.
Apart from the clasp, there's just the embossing on the outside, and, a neat seam around the edge.
Inside:
There are 2 bill pockets inside, both of which are *very* deep. They're about as deep as the note is high.
When it is fully opened, there are 5 credit card pockets on the left. Note that these seem to be individual pockets, separated from each other internally. Cards fit vertically into these pockets. The front of the pockets stretches a bit over 2 thirds of the way from the far left of the case to the spine. Behind the pockets is a sleeve about 1/3 wider than the short side of a credit card where you could fold bank notes* (remember this, I'll come back to it.
As I said, along the inner spine is slot for the stylus.
On the right is where the not goes. It slots in (quite snugly) from the top. The top is open, so you can get to the headphone port. There's a hole in the left for the volume control, a hole in the right for the power button, and, a hole in the bottom for access to the USB port.
Looking at the front, the home and hardware buttons are all accessible as part of the screen area. They've also neatly cut out around the top speaker and, the front camera.
Protection:
Very good. If the magnetic clasp doesn't come undone during a fall, then, it'd be very hard to break the screen. It is nice thick leather, and you might even be able to drop a brick on it when closed without breaking the screen.
It still won't help you if you drop it in the toilet as some poor chap here has apparently done.
Usage:
It is very bulky. Like one of those filofax jobs people used to (still?) have.
I'm used to big gadgets, so I cope, but you wouldn't get it into tight jeans pockets. I do squeeze it, with some discomfort into my front trousers pocket.
You don't want to talk on the phone with the cover on for more than brief calls, you look like an idiot. Most of the time I pull it out of the cover for calls, or, use a bluetooth headset.
Using the rear camera requires removing from the cover.
General browsing/emailing etc is fine with the cover on.
Fortunately removing the phone is a fairly quick procedure, as is putting it back it. I imagine it'll get easier still as the leather stretches a touch.
One annoyance is, as the leather reaches right to the top of the touch screen, if the phone slips up slightly, it can be difficult or impossible to pull down the notifications bar. When in landscape, this isn't an issue as the phone can't move left/right in the case.
Summary/thoughts:
I wish I'd bought the one without the bank note pockets. That'd reduce the bulk considerably and you could still stick notes behind your cards (see * above). You can also use the rear facing camera with the non-bank note version (E4).
On balance, I am pleased I bought it though, it is of high quality and, it is great having your phone and wallet all in the one thing - it also means you can ring your wallet to find it when you are in a hurry to head to work
If anyone has any questions, I'd be happy to answer them.
My recommendation for anyone thinking of getting one of these is to get the E4 and not this.
They don't seem to have any E4's on eBay at the moment for the note, but I am sure I have seen one there. Here's one for the Desire HD - I am sure it gets the point across.

Two quick thoughts:
1) When calling, can't you fold the case cover back 180 degrees?
2) Some launchers (adwlauncher does this) allow to swipe down anywhere to lower the notification bar, so you don't need to touch the very top.

No, the banknotes pockets kind of open so it gets more bulky and wants to spring back to about 180 degrees (where 0 is closed, 180 is wide open and 360 is the position you suggest), but I suspect you could with the E4 model.

Yes - I read about that setting a while back, but have never used it, thanks for reminding me - it is now enabled for the swipe down gesture (hide dock was annoying me anyway).
Hi, thanks for the review, i've been stuck deciding between the E5 and the E4, due to the E5 having the bill slot, which i would think is really good compared to folding the bills under the cards.
Can you take a picture of the case when it's fully loaded, both open and closed?
e.g. all card slots used, and the bills folded and slotted under the cards
That would probably help sway my decision, if that slot + cards do not bulk up the entire wallet.

I love those case, but it's sucks when they cost so much!
It's should be 10$ max.
peanuts and monkeys
i hope to order this case by the end of this month, i've emailed them some questions on customisation, hopefully it's permitted, then can go forward with this.
the E5 with wallet style slot is definitely too bulky. I bought one for my Desire HD with modified size to fit the DHD with Otterbox. After receiving it, tested once with DHD and sit in my drawer collecting dust ever since.

Ya know I thought the same thing at first, but I just got a pack of 3 extra batteries and I find I can put two of em in the wallet and also a cleaning cloth and everything fits great.
In terms of customizations I wonder if a small bit for some change could be added.
Its beautiful.
Easecase E5 looks good.
This is a genuine leather case, and very good quality construction. They also responded well to my customization request (I wanted a 65mm horizontal belt loop added to mine).
Only $10 max is out of the question. Worth 3 to 4 times that much. It includes branding of your own name as well. It's a very classy leather case/wallet.
Could you please share a photo were the Note is next to the case just to compare the size of the case?
Hey great review. I really love the customization of these cases and I recently bought a galaxy note us version from ATT so ive been doing some research for a quality wallet type case for my note (will arrive monday) I was just wondering, would this case or the E4 case which is what ill probably get be fine for the american ATT version. Im pretty sure the dimensions are about the same but im not so sure about the button placements or the charger placements.
The only thing I dont like is the shipping time but not much I can do about it but this case seems to be the best so far that ive found besides the vintage leather case but those dont come in black and have magnetic strips.
Any reply would be appreciated.
So just to recap - will my US ATT galaxy Note i717 be a good match with this case?

When I dealt with them, I found them quite responsive, I suggest asking them if it'll fit the i717 - odds on if it doesn't they'll have one that does even if they haven't advertised it yet.
Although I haven't seen it, I'd definitely recommend the E4 over the E5 - I find I don't really need the slots for notes (you can slip folded notes in the bit behind where credit cards go anyway) and, it the banknote pockets block the camera (by necessity) which drives me a bit mad.
Has anybody tried the tetrax mounts yet with their galaxy nexus? Before I purchase one I'm curious of two things.
1. How well does the the magnet stick to the battery door since the battery cover is textured? I have an extra cover that I'll use simply for this.
2. Does the magnet interfere with the NFC and/or screen at all?
In case your not sure what I'm referring to:
http://store.tetrax.us/xway-line/fixway
I have used this on other phones, including my G2, MyTouch 3G and G1 and it worked very well on all those phones. However, due to the textured back on the Galaxy Nexus, the metal button that stick to the battery door does not stay on. I have tried replacing the double sided tape with stronger automotive 3M tape, but that doesn't work either. It'll stay on for a little while and come back off. The only solution would be to find a battery door that is smooth.
I can't answer if it interferes with NFC or the screen, but it shouldn’t. If anything, it might interfere with the magnet on the compass, but that has not been the case with my other phones.

Thanks,
So you've actually tried it on the GNex and it don't stick very well? Did you by chance try holding it on there for several hours with a strong clamp or anything? I really want one of these but worried it's a waste of money with this phone
I have actually tried it, but not with a clamp. Just following the regular directions. On my other phones, it created a very strong bond and it takes a lot of effort to remove. With the Nexus, it stays on the first couple of times you mount it, but that's about it. It's not an issue with the weight, as the G2 feels twice as heavy as the Nexus, especially with an extra capacity battery. It's the texture on the battery door. It almost feels like it has a Teflon coating.

Would you mind holding up one of the magnets to the battery door and test out the NFC to see if it interferes with it (if you have the ability to). This is my main question as I could always put the magnet on a case I guess.
Thanks!
I don't have another NFC device to try it right now, but my brother has the Nexus S and I can try it when I see him later tonight. The magnet doesn't go on the battery door though. What you stick on the battery door is just a piece of metal. The actual magnet is on the device that you mount to your dash or vent, so unless you plan on using NFC while it's on your dash, it should not interfere.
Plus, NFC uses low power radio frequency to transfer information (similar to Bluetooth). It does not use magnets. The only thing in the phone that could be affected would be the compass, as it finds your relation to magnetic North. Even then, I'm sure the compass works through software and is not an actual magnet, as it has never affected GPS. As a matter of fact, I have 2 Tetrax products, the one that mounts to the dash, which I have in my car, and the one that you attach to the vent for when I use a rental on trips for the sole purpose of Navigation. As you can imagine, I was very disappointed when I could not get the metal button to stick. I might have to try it with a case also.

Awesome so yea I don't think it'll interfere because I was thinking the part you stick to the back of the phone is magnetic, but if your saying it's not all should be well. Either way I went ahead and ordered it yesterday anyway so I'll figure out a way to get it to stick to either the door or a case. Thanks for your insight!
Nope, it's just a metal button. It actually comes with 4 or 5 different ones of all sizes and styles.
I have this installed on my nexus, I put the mount on my dash and the NFC sticker on my knob for the ac that get covered up. Everytime I put my phone on the mount, the nfc changes it to car mode, volume up, full brightness and launches sirius xm radio...works very well, sometimes I have to move it a bit to get to read the nfc, but thats only cause i have the nfc a little too far at the bottom of the phone and it mounts at a slight angle, not due to any interference at all. I have NFC chips all around and never have problems reading them at all, probably a good idea not to mount the metal chip right in the middle of the battery area, just in case. I also used a clamp to hold it on for about 3 or 4 hours and has had little trouble sticking to the texture.
I have had a few incidents if I pull off the phone, rather than slide it off the backing will actually unclip a single clip.
@ejkeebler what do you mean by NFC stickers all around? Did you make stickers to automatically change your settings on your phone? That's brilliant! How did you do it?
I might also have to try a clamp. I don't really want to put a case on my phone.

I also have NFC stickers everywhere. have them when I walk in the front door of my house, one in my office at work, one in each vehicle, one in my wallet LOL. They are awesome. Set them to change settings or do tasker tasks and you can rewrite over them if you ever want to change anything. One of the best phone features I've ever used. That's why i was concerned about the magnets interfering with the NFC!

www.tagstand.com to purchase the tags. Tell him DCoy82 sent you! The 30mm ultralight c circle NDEF formatted seem to be the only ones I've bought that work with the nexus so far.
Once you get them you can download program called NFC Task Launcher off the market to program them.

That is so awesome. This is my first phone with NFC so I'm barely starting to learn all the cool things that you can do with it. I tried Android Beam for the first time with my brother on Tuesday and it works great, though I wish you could beam other things such as pictures. By the way, the metal button does not interfere with NFC. I will let them know that you recommended me. Thank you!
If your interested in NFC, here's a few spots that got me started

http://www.readwriteweb.com/archives/weekend_project_make_your_own_nfc_tags.php
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LnqmyNEQPq0&feature=email&email=comment_reply_received
and the tags I bought were from here:
http://tagsfordroid.com/tags/Home.html
I got them cause i liked the having the android on them, i think they are a tiny bit less expensive elsewhere, and these are a little thicker than I'd like (like a puffy sticker, about the same thickness of a penny) but you can get many in other places.
by itself i'm not sure nfc task launcher does it for me, but in combination with tasker, it's ridiculous how much can be done....would still love to see what others have come up with.
I love those stickers with the Android! Thanks for the links. I will need to read up on it more. I am definitely interested. This is a lot more exciting stuff then what Google showed off at the I/O last year!
Thats a good idea. Being in IT, we have dead Hard Drives laying around that have awesome magnets in them. They're real slim. I bet I could superglue one to my nexus's battery cover for under the TPU case that would hold. They're thin so it might not screw with the case (but it might).

Yeah, it looks like it's $8 for 2. I just picked up 5 over at tagstand.com for the same price and found 10 for $13 over at http://buynfcstickers.com.
Hopefully you guys are all having good experience with the guy at tag stand. His customer service was great for me and I'll definatley be going back there in the future.
Oh and by the way, I got my new tetrax magnet set in today and not having any issues with the magnet at allowing necessary nor with the metal part sticking to the stock battery door. Only real issue so far is you have to slide it off just right or the battery door just pops off the nexus lol. Highly recommend though!

Great concept, flawed product.
#1- The flap will be loose, so it needs to be secured. Best way is for a Magnet link.
#2- Placing your cards on the outer side means more chance of opportunistic theft
#3- Even adding one credit card will make the case thicker. Its usually not a problem, but since they will be "stacked" the inner side will get thicker in some areas and not in others.
This creates a loose "touch point" of the inside flap and the screen.
(eg/ Apple's Smart Cover, imagine the middle being quite thick and the borders shallow - it wouldn't touch properly).
I do like the idea of combining your phone + wallet into one package, but its not really theesable. Firstly, it will make the NOTE too bulky, and its already stretching out some pockets. Secondly, the amount of storage is low on the package. A wallet will hold more contents.
I personally have a skinny wallet with a ~3 credit cards and half-dozen business cards and ofcourse paper money. I place it in my ass pocket, phone goes alone to front right pocket... I tend to multitask easiest this way.
Would've got this but, I don't like leather and I want a pouch where my phone slides out, not stuck to the case. Also, no room for a usb host cable.

I'm after a car holder for my HTC One whereby I don't have to take the phone out of the case as it's annoying and I'd like something quick and easy to use.
I've bought a few from Amazon for my HTC One X but they were rubbish, flimsy or just didn't stick to the windscreen.
So I'm after some personal experiences too, has anyone bought a car holder for their One that you don't have to take it out of the case to use and does it work well?
Somewhere I can buy it from in the UK
Something like this I bought for my HOX but it just didn't work very well. Might give it a go since it's only £2.
My friends in the UK use this: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Mountek-nGr...e=UTF8&qid=1372679295&sr=8-1&keywords=Mountek
I just ordered one this morning and am expecting to receive it in a week to ten days since I am in Egypt. My friends have had it for a long time now and they tell me that it's amazing and the quality is extremely durable to this day.
Some of them also use a combination of two items: this and this. The first one has a sticky pad which is very, very strong and just doesn't fade, they tell me it's as strong as the day they bought it and they use the second item sometimes, basically they attach it to the sticky pad and use it as an actual car mount.
The second suggestion isn't the most practical but it works well and is fairly cheap, however the Mountek one is just perfect; not only did I read good reviews about it and was it recommended by friends, but I also watched videos and I find it great.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kG3A4uq1ItQ
I can highly recommend this one…
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/supergrip-universal-case-compatible-car-mount-p30552.htm
It will hold just about any phone in either portrait or landscape. Its suction pad even sticks to mottled, textured dashboard surfaces. Naturally it holds to glass like a limpet. Beware of the cheaper Amazon look-a-likes that have an inferior sucker.
It is very quick to attach and remove your phone, and doesn’t smother the phone’s back so the phone still gets air cooling (mine gets very hot charging and using sat nav). I think it looks ok too.
Thanks both, much appreciated. I'll check both of these out.
@wnp_79 - What's the pressure like on your car holder, in respect to it looks like it's spring loaded so I'm worried that it might put too much pressure on the sides of the phone, if that makes sense?

It is spring loaded, but does not hold the phone with any more pressure than you would use holding it yourself. The only issue I've had is with certain cases (like the Otterbox Commuter) which have protruding volume buttons. The grip is enough to accidentally activate these if you are not careful where you place the phone. With flush buttons or ensuring the grip misses them there's no issues.

It will hold just about any phone in either portrait or landscape. Its suction pad even sticks to mottled, textured dashboard surfaces. Naturally it holds to glass like a limpet. Beware of the cheaper Amazon look-a-likes that have an inferior sucker.
It is very quick to attach and remove your phone, and doesn’t smother the phone’s back so the phone still gets air cooling (mine gets very hot charging and using sat nav). I think it looks ok too.

Yes this one works wonderfully. I thought it a little to simple at first... But simple wins here. It'll even work with future phones. You can install and remove phone one handed and of course cases work. Only bad thing is no dedicated charging... But i got over that quick.
Kenu airframe. For me it's the best.
