Hi,
I got a flip case, it seem like don't have sleep/wake function.
How can i add something on the case to make it support?
Thank you
Put on a magnet, lined up with the top of the volume rocker, and just about on the left edge of the screen. Wouldn't be too elegant tho if I had to guess
Thanks! Got it

solution
after playing around i found that the leather cover has magnet on the handle which sticks on the back side of pro 2 when the flip is closed, and most interesting thing what i found was if that magnet is exposed over the phone call , or phone end button ,it triggers the power on, after i removed that magnet from the leather cover and i don't have any issues, so guys please be ware while selecting the leather case, at least try it once if you are willing to get one with magnet

Nothing wrong with you phone. The phone goes on when you slide your keyboard out. This is triggered with a magnet. Some leather cases have there magnet on the bottom side of the phone. This is where this triggers is placed. So I would ask you money back and look for a cover that has no magnetic lock, or one with a the lock in the middle/side (book wise) Or like mine on the top as PDAIR has done.

Do you have EXACTLY THE SAME case as you showed on url - from NOREVE manufacturer?
Take a look at this thread :>
Undocumented feature.

I am using the Noreve case and I didn't have this problem.
Has anyone bought this? I'd like to see some pictures of it actually on the phone. Mainly curious if it will mess with the edges of my screen protector

I bought one from UK, which is supposedly a clear case but its more like a clear white. Its not completely transparent. This is my favorite so far. Perfect fit. The cutouts are properly aligned. Its TPU but a little rigid than the aftermarket cases. You will not be disappointed. Its hard to explain but its amooth and shiny but not slippery. The cutout for the camera is slightly embossed to protect the lens. This UK version that I have has a provision to attach a lanyard on the upper left hand corner. If you have the full screen protector you will be fine.
Stay away from the Cruzerlite. It will push up the edges of your screen protector.
Factory case arrived today (Pictures)
So I went ahead and ordered it up. Placed the order on Sunday, shipped on Tuesday and arrived today(Friday). I must say I like it a LOT. Nice and slim, and its the first case I've seen in person that gives it a little face protection, yet doesn't aggravate my Zagg HD. I also am a big fan of the tabs that cover up the charging and headphone ports. Though we will see if they or I stand the test of time with them. Anyway, enjoy the photos and let me know if you have any questions about it.
Oh, P.S. It does NOT have a Samsung logo on it like in the photo from their site. Doesn't make too much of a difference I guess, but for some reason I was a little let down by that
Samsung case
The one I just received is essentially a pebble blue back with a flap that folds over the screen to protect it. Its about as minimal as you can get!. You just pop your back off put the new one on, looks just like the back you took off only now there is a nice flap to keep the screen protected. Of course there is not much protection if you drop it, other than you now have a "spare" back for the phone. I have a TPU case also, not sure which I like better. But if your in to a minimal look, this is the case!
Yeah I have that one, and love it. I also have a case-mate one that's really thin that I also like. I feel this one adds a decent amount of protection to the back and sides.
How easy is it to press the power button?
Thanks for the pics.

Real easy. The raised part of the case doesn't protrude too much. Only Issue Im having is when I hit the lock button with my thumb I sometimes hit the volume rocker with my pointer finger

After reading your review, I got mine on BestBuy with the samsung logo on it
thank you :good:
Anyone make these for the One?
To make the buttons easier to use in cases with open cutouts and TPU cases!
I'm finding on most TPU cases to get the volume buttons "civilized" a few strips of electrical tape cut a bit smaller than the footprint of the button and stuck to the inside of the case where the button falls place makes it MUCH easier to use...
I would prefer NOT to stick tape on the buttons themselves. But a nice plastic cover, for example, would be nice to leave on.

I have this case:
www(dot)amazon(dot)com/Diztronic-Matte-Back-Black-Flexible/dp/B00BMCYYL6
It's soft wihch you didnt seem to want, but I have dropped my phone numerous times and it has zero damage. It's nice and sturdy, easy to apply and remove, PLUS it has buttons in the mold for the volume rockers. By far my favorite so far. Hope this helps!
So i bought a Dot View case for my M8 am and pretty underwhelmed by the lack of useful notifcations I get.. virtually none.
What I do like is the fact that it automagically turns on and off when I open and shut the case.
I assumed this is done with a magnet underneath the HTC logo on the flip cover, so I applied a small piece of magentic tape to an ordinary flip case that I prefer to use, however cannot get it to turn the phone oon and off.
looking closely at the dot case there appears to be something in the case on the rear of the phone opposite where the HTC logo is on the flip cover. Is this having an effect of the operation.
Does anybody know how this works, and how I can emulate in another cover?
I've done some tests with a dot view case, and with a few others.
Basically, it's just a small magnet placed above the screen, positioned about 3 cm from the left edge and 6.5 cm from the bottom edge of the phone, which turns it on or off.
If you can find a magnet thin & strong enough, and put it in the right place, you can virtually emulate the effect on any flip case.

Thanks for your reply, perhaps the magnetic strip i used wasn't strong enough.
Are you sure about the "3 cm " from the left hand edge?.. looking at my dotview cover it seems to span from about 0.5cm to 2cm from the LH edge?
Every flip case I own do this and have no magnets. Open cover and screen turns on. I thought it was maybe a light sense but Idk? I have the Watson flip case I think made by Incipio? Also a generic eBay one made of leather.
If your screen turns on/off, it's that your covers have the small magnet inside. Try it with a piece of cardboard or anything else and you will see the behaviour is different
Hi
Bought the XA1 ultra couple of days ago. I've noticed that it doesn't have the double tap to open feature. However i was hoping that it would work in a flip case with magnetic closure. Bought a case with that function but the phone doesn't do the sleep too wake. Is their an option in the settings to enable this ?
Thanks
There is no option in the software. I have the official Smart Cover, and I believe there is some sort of magnetic placement in the case that triggers it. Hard to tell whether there is an NFC chip or something like that, but as far as I know, only the OEM cover has this feature.
Keep in mind that lifting up the cover to wake is no faster than pressing the power button. This I can confirm this first hand. The delay seems to be the same as the button, which to me is slow anyway with around a half second delay. You're not missing out on much, trust me.
Thanks for the info. Any idea if rooting might help me find a way to unlock from sleep.?
Thanks
The phone has a hall sensor and a tiny magnet triggers the Sleep - Wake feature. The position of the sensor is on the top left corner of the phone just below the bezel - where the carrier information appears. I had a T2 ultra before with a Nillkin flip case that had the sleep wake function. Ordered a Nillkin Qin case for the XA1 Ultra and found out that it did not have the sleep wake feature. Just popped the magnet out from a old and torn case that I had earlier and positioned on the inner flap of the flip cover so that it touches the sensor position when closed. Pasted the magnet with a bit of glue and covered it with a patch of suede so that it does not scratch the glass. Voila - I have a working sleep and wake flip cover for the XA1 Ultra. Any small and thin magnet will do , preferably from a old donor case , else look for a thin button magnet from small Fridge-Magnet stick-on pieces.
Thanks for the Info
Will look for a magnet. Have a couple of fridge ones will try them first ?
