Hack a kickstand onto your HTC One - One (M7) Accessories

You can add a small amount of a gelaskin or other sticker to the back of your one and then use that edge to balance on a credit card, turning it into a kickstand.
It sounds tenuous, yet works surprisingly well!
Here's a video showing the kickstand in action: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jE7yGR-ZXWw
Can't wait to try it when i have a gelaskin already on the back of the phone, should be even less conspicuous.

Samsung Focus S Case - UPDATED W/ AT&T Link

So, after an extensive search, I found a Samsung Focus S case made by Ventev. I bought one through Cartronics Accessories via Priority Mail for like $19. I will let ya know how it is for whoever wants to know.
Here's a link to Cartronics listing of case - Two Piece - Two-Tone Black & Chrome Finish Case
Here's a link to Ventev's site listing of case - VENTEV Case
UPDATE:
AT&T now has four new cases (3 are the same model w/ different color) on their website - AT&T Samsung Focus S Cases
These are also available on eBay for ~ $14.00 I just came back from my local AT&T store where I finally got to play with Focus S and I must say I came away underwhelmed by its screen, it looks much darker/dimmer then Focus screen, even with brightness set to Manual and High. Combine that with complete lack of accessories and we end up with a device that neither carrier nor ODM are interested in supporting. Heck, even Samsung Flash has a case ($50!!!) and a screen protector. I am seriously feeling let down here.

Agreed seems like a redheaded stepchild compared to the flash.
Oh well test driving until Titan next week.

There is a new display setting called 'auto display intensity' on the Focus S that needs to be shut off. After that it is much brighter than the Focus when both are on high.

It's on the page called Extra Settings. There is a bug that won't let the setting survive a soft reset so you'll need to shut it back off each time.
AT&T now lists three cases for Focus S; two from Case Mate and one from AGF. Unfortunately there are no pictures yet but still it's a progress.

The pictures are there now. Three from Case Mate (three colors), and one from AGF. Although the Case Mate ones there's two types - Barely There or Tough.
FYI, I tried the Case-Mate Tough case, and had two issues: 1) really hard to get the case on in a "nice" manner, 2) the rubbery inner liner goes OVER the buttons (power, etc). After putting on the outer hard case over that, had power button issues. I would turn my phone off, but it would turn back on immediately. I think the rubbery inner case was pressing on the power button ever so slightly...very annoying. I returned it.
Side question. Does anyone know (or has tried this) if the Samsung Galaxy S II cases will work with this phone. They are pretty much the same form factor right? The only diff I can see is maybe the camera on the Galaxy is wider, where the Focus S is taller. Thoughts? There are lots of options for that Galaxy model...not so much for the Focus S as yet.
Thanks!

They won't, the AT&T and international version SGS2 are more squared shaped corners and camera cut out is different. TMo/Sprint are too big.
Same problem with my casemate tough as well.
Any cases with kickstand?
I'm REALLY looking for a hard case for my Focus S with a kickstand that I'd use for:
*video calling
*night stand/alarm clock
*watching videos
Anything like that out there??
I've bought both the 2-piece Ventev snap-on hard case for my Samsung Focus S and the AGF gray pattern gel case, and I like the AGF gel case much better. I'm not a fan of gel cases usually (I prefer hard plastic, snap-on cases with a non-slip finish), but I did not like the Ventev case at all - while it's a hard plastic, snap-on case and it fits well, the lower half is black with a soft, rubberized covering (which is nice), but the top is a shiny chrome-like finish that's a fingerprint magnet! The AGF gel case fits the phone very well and is a nice darker gray finish described a a "microfiber". Whatever it is, it's very comfortable to hold and not slippery at all! It's definitely not worth the $40 AT&T is charging for it, but I got it for 35% off this past week from AT&T online.
I really want a Case-Mate Barely-There case in black for my Focus S (I had that case on my Verizon Trophy WP7 handset, and I really liked it!), but at the moment I believe it only comes in blue and pink.

Easecase E5 review

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.
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.

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.
More info // pics in my thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1419678
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.

Samsung flip cover

So I got a flip cover from the Samsung US website and it doesn't snap on my note. The little prongs are very short and don't even line up properly. A couple of the corners seem to snap on, but the other two don't, and the whole cover just doesn't stay on at all. Really crappy manufacturing from an original Samsung accessory. Very disappointed with Samsung on this one...
are you using this on International Note? The back cover of US model is not compatible with the International model.
And sometimes you really need to apply some pressure to snap it in place first time.
I'm using the international flip cover with the international Note and am very impressed with the quality and finish. Fits like a glove and looks exclusive too.

Personally, I don't like the booklet/diary cover type case on the Note...
In taking or dialling a call, you have to flip it all the way to the back of the phone (just for the sake of it.) For me it's kind of awkward to hold on with the flip cover being flipped at the back.
I like the flip down cover case more. No hassle, just flip it down when your going to use your Note, and flip it up again when your done using your phone.

Yes.. I agree, I got one with the note when I bought it 4 months ago, and I didn't really like how you have to fold it back to make/receive a call. I took it off and now its just sitting in my drawer and now I am using my note without any case as it just looks good without any case. I just didn't want to add any bulkiness as its already a big phone...
just bought a flip down leathercase (black), Now I'm really not feeling awkward in using my phone...
Using the flip diary cover back then was a cumbersome part really on my end to use my phone (especially in calling)... Now that I bought the flip-down leathercase....
I get the ease of use and better protection already .. all rolled into one

The Samsung flip cover is nice and thin, but I gave up on it because it does not fit in the Car Dock or the desk dock. I would like one same in concept, but flip over the top - just like the Palm Tungsten T3 I used for years.

Bending the cover/lid all the way to back, is not my take of convenience... IMHO..
I would prefer the flip-down cover, where if you would use the phone (taking/receiving calls or what-nots), its just a simple way of flipping down the cover, no strain needed at all.... (as compared to the diary/booklet type where you really have to exert some force bending the face cover all the way to the back of it and hold it with with your hand).
That's just my take anyway... I guess to each its own.. whichever suits your fancy..
Why u should NOT USE that flip cover..
People I am giving you a video review of why u should NEVER USE that flip cover if u love your Galaxy Note..n after watching it u will agree with me..

We five friends took 5 notes at the same go and got the same flip cover by Samsung, free with them,
3 out of five were perfect fit, however two of them were not completely flushed with the body as described by you, they replaced both of them in a week one was a fit and one was plagued with the same issue.
The retailer told that it was a known issue with the last lot of covers that he received.(He claimed returning 16 of those covers and directing four people to service center)
So this time we were redirected to a service center where they adjusted some groves on the phone and the same cover flushed properly with the phone.
All the three notes without the issues were for guys and the other two belonged to girls LOL ha ha ha well that's a different story.
Off topic:
I am not happy with the build quality of the flip covers as its just few weeks old and the leather(or whatever it is) is already peeling from different places had to use tiny bits of super glue..........
Confused
My people out here just wanted to know if there is any difference between the SGN I7000 and the ATnt version, HW wise am asking that too not internal.
Cause the other day I saw a hard case and holster for note, it was advertised just for SGN atnt 717, but not for I7000.
So my question is will it fit both?? Or is there any difference in the contours of the phone body??
TIA

Actually the atnt version is slightly smaller than the international version, but includes 4g lte. Also the exynos processor is faster than the snapdragon processor found in the atnt version. Also, the atnt version has 4 soft touch buttons at the bottom of the screen and the international version has 2 soft touch buttons, with a physical home button between them.

The Samsung flip cover is not that bad - it gives a fairly ok rear protection to SGN and gives the phone a classy look when viewed from the front.
The only protection for my SGN i still need is a screen guard
The add-on stock Samsung Flip cover is an eye candy alright, and I agree.. it gives a classy and sleekness on the phone itself.... BUT
comfortability and usability wise... it's another case already... I totally dislike the usability of it... It is not convenient (for me) using it especially on taking or recieving calls, It is totally cumbersome and awkward to flip it all the way to the back of the phone...
My vote still goes to the flip down cover... usability and comfortability for me is my first and primary concern, and that's all that matters to me.
The flip cover has a cutout for the speaker, so you could just leave it closed while taking a call. Granted, it's still uncomfortable to use with it flipped back.
No way... I'd rather prefer having my cheek pressing on the Note's glass surface rather than the cardboard cover itself..
don't you think it's too much awkwardness already? (flipping the cover all the way to the back of the phone and now talking and pressing your cheeks on the hard cover)

Keeps the glass cleaner, IMO.
They are pretty cool, and useful. It's saved my phone a couple times so far.

Car holder whilst using a case

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.

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.

Non flip case with card holder on the back

Hi all,
Has anyone seen this type of case before for Z3c?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/Business-Wal...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item3a973d1fe0
I got one for my Xiaomi and it's so wonderful! I am not a fan of flip cases especially without the sleep/wake feature.
Cheers.
Anyone?
I doubt you can get one like with the Xiaomi. The Z3C is too small, so a case like that would only be able to hold 1 card without blocking the rear camera & flash.
too bad i've been looking for this exact style of case...I had the incipio stash back for my iphone 5 and loved being able to stick my credit card debit and ID for going out. Now that I have this phone i forget my wallet constantly as I was super used to not having the lug it around haha.
You could also add a card holder to the back of your case like this:

I think you can find them much cheaper than the link though. I get them free a lot as company schwag at events. Works great.
From Oakland with love on my Xperia Z3 Compact
