Gelaskins?

Does anyone have one of these for the Tab 10.1? If so, how is the coverage on it and are you happy w/ it? I've seen some posts about phones, but Want to know if the sides of the tab are protected enough and if the screen portion is any good on a tablet?

check pictures of it on an ipad or any other tablet, i believe the result is the same.

I looked at pics of the Pad and the corners are cut out. I don't like that at all. The pics on their site are photoshopped and you can't tell anything from that.

I just got mine today from amazon. Check the last page in the mega case thread. I like it. Anything will add some amount of weight/thickness. This one fits really well. I'm keeping it.

I just got mine today and I'm extremely satisfied with it so far.
The fit is absolutely perfect from edge to edge, on all the corners, and around the camera and flash. I'm actually astounded that they managed to get the measurements so perfect; it covers the entire back without overlapping the little gap between the back panel and the trim around the edge of the device.
It also adds a little bit more of a grippy feel to the back, even moreso than the metallic grey back (which is what I have), so it feels like it will be a little easier to hang onto the Tab and not drop it.
However, you're not going to find any protection for the edges with the Gelaskin, and the front piece will not protect your screen either; it simply covers the bezel around the screen. I didn't apply the front piece because I felt like it would be more distracting than the black bezel and it also won't line up with the Gelaskins wallpaper if you rotate the Tab. But if you wanted to apply the front piece, it does have cut-outs for the front-facing camera and the ambient light sensor.
If you're looking for more complete coverage you should definitely consider something else. Personally, I just wanted something that would look nice and protect the back side from scratches when I put the Tab down on a surface, and for that purpose the Gelaskin is perfect. It also adds no bulk and I bet it would easily fit inside of a case if you wanted to do something like Gelaskin on the back + transparent TPU case and maybe a screen protector for more complete protection. At that point the Gelaskin would just be there for looks, though.
Here's a couple photos of mine:
The photo of the camera/flash makes it look like the skin is not perfectly aligned around the flash, but this is just because of the angle at which I took the photo. It's actually aligned just as perfectly as it is around the camera.
If anyone has any questions I'd be happy to answer them.

If people are buying from the gelaskins.com website, then they should put in 500PXSKINS and save 15%. I am debating if I should get one.

I just saw these on the net and came here to see if anybody had gotten one. I really like the idea of these. Perhaps even a custom one as none of the models available is tacky and loud enough for my tastes. Oh, the possibilities.

Very much grateful for the pics and reviews. I think ill bite. I like to here things like the fit is so good I don't know how they did it. Thanks again.

Demagnetized Zenus Prestige Vintage

So I bought this case before knowing that the magnet would screw up my Note. After a bit of online research, I came up with the idea of installing a snap fastener button in place of the magnet (just like the Mastige series). Looking through Etsy, I found this set of buttons:
http://www.etsy.com/transaction/71729266"]http://www.etsy.com/transaction/71729266"]http://www.etsy.com/transaction/71729266
This type of fastener is probably the more flattened type of snap fasteners. And it looks more elegant as well.
Taking the magnet out was a pain since they were glued on a piece of paper and there were 2 of them each side. Here is the final result:

This is the style man.
Looks hot.

Nice mod looks totally like it was made that way.

Looks good. Have to say I love the aged leather but I'm not big on the studs or embossing. My ideal case would be that one that looks like a leather bound book but they only make them for idevices
In what way did the magnet cause issues? Mine has a magnet clasp, not Mega strong though
Sent from the Awesomeness that is my Galaxy Note using XDA Premium app

supposedly affect s-pen accuracy. i have a small magnet on the back of my casing too, for the kickstand, but have not seen averse effects in s-pen accuracy

From what I gathered, the magnet would not cause any immediate effect due to its relative weak strength. However, over time, the S-Pen and the touch screen would be affected. I would not take any chance to find out how severe the problem will be.

is there hard evidence of this?

Nothing concrete, but you can find the detail right here:

i have tested this with the *#0*# Sensors, and Magnetic sensor (assuming this is pointing to magnetic north) moves with my case where my magnet points to. dayum, this is a good excuse for a new case!

I am actually planning to do the exact same thing as you. Except I have the Prestige Origami Diary Series instead (attached below).
Any hints or tips that you could share as to how you went about it? I have checked your supplier link for the buttons (nice find!) and plan to purchase from them the exact same set as well. Seems like there are some useful tools included in the package already, like the button presser / holder thing.
Just a couple of quick questions if you don't mind...
How did you remove the magnets itself from inside the leather? Because I assume you cut into the leather through the top layer with a scalpel of some sort, and somehow pulled it out with tweasers?
What sort of adhesive did you use to secure the buttons in place? Using some sort of glue or just the pressure of the buttons locked together?
How long roughly did this whole process take you?

i may be wrong but i am using Zenus Vintage for few month already and havent noticed any problems yet...

Can you post a how to please?

Weird, i have the exact same case and it comes without magnet..
I have a snap fastener fitted originally

There are two versions. You have the latest one.

Where do you buy the new version?
EDIT: Found it at http://zenuscaseusa.com/samsung-galaxy-note-prestige-vintage-g-note-diary.html

the funny thing is that i bought this case with magnetic closure a few days ago without knowing that there is a version with a snap fastener. The good thing is that i bought it for 27.99 dollars from ebay.com. i guess i will have to apply a snap fastener myself.

[Q][REVIEW] Leather wallet case + question about magnets

REVIEW IS HERE
I've found this on ebay.
It's pretty and cheap and i'm probably going to buy it (and if, i'll post here a depth review), but
QUESTION:
Can the magnetic closure ruin the phone? i mean by interferences or so
Thanks.

I really doubt it. It's not some industrial strength magnet..

Thanks! I've also found some thread related to other phones and the conclusion is the same.
I'll let you know.

I was wondering the exact same thing just the other day. The blackberry pouches have a magnet to cater to its auto shut off feature. But seeing that the G-nex does not have this feature, would the magnet cause any internal damage?

I just received the item and the magnets seems to be strong enough to keep the cover closed but not to interfere with the phone. Plus the screen doesn't seems to be attracted by the magnets.
I'll post a review this evening.

It would.be.cool.if we could make this like the iPad and power on when opened.
Looking forward to your review.

i like the concept of these, but, not sure if i would like having to open something every time i would need to use my phone. not to mention i don't think i would like trying to talk on it and the flap covering half my face or credit cards falling out. and then i would have to pop it out every time i get in the car to put it in my dock.
cool idea though. i would consider it if it just had a cash-stash and cc slots on the back side without the flap

CASE REVIEW (a sort of)
PROs
- The phone fits perfectly in the case.
- The magnets don't seem to interfere with anything.
- The front cover bends without any problem and doesn't slap my face while calling.
- The screen is very well protected
CONs
- The plastic inner case doesn't have proper top and bottom sides leaving the phone quite unprotected there as you can see from the photos.
- The credit card pocket sewing can mark the screen, but it's nothing permanet.
Let me know if you have more questions.

A solution is to use the proximity sensor but I think that if it was feasible then someone would have already done it.

This is pretty much the same as the one I have and also similar to the Poetic series. I have a cheap ebay one that works fine. Gives it a wider profile when holding it in your hand. Pretty much the same width as a Seidio Dilex case. Buttons are responsive, you can feel a click, not as pronounced as a naked case, but you do have some feedback. Protection is pretty good for what it is. I've dropped it at work a few times and the phone has come out of it unscathed.

bought it on ebay and waiting for it to come, probably another week or two

Received two in the mail after about two weeks. To be honest they feel more like plastic rather than TPU... Flexible plastic.
I have a few slim cases and compared to those, these bumpers add a lot more bulk. Probably won't be using them for an extended period of time and will go back to my slim cases or the Spigen Neo Hybrid.

Bought one of those and couldn't use it. The micro USB cutout is too small. I couldn't charge the phone with some cables and using Meenova is impossible with the case on.

I am also considering to buy a TPU case. How does it compare to hard back case cover for protection and comfort of use?

Well there is no protection for the back because it's, well...bare lol. For comfort, I had to get used to the width of the phone with this on. It's a bit wider than no case at all. But it protected my phone at a 4 foot drop. Nothing happened to the phone. :good:

Where do you get something like this? It's hard to search for an *actual* bumper case because so many normal full-body cases use the word "bumper" for no apparent reason

I purchased mine from here and have been using it the past few days - I'm really digging it but as someone said above the cutout for the usb slot is not quite big enough (I hadn't actually tested it before until now), but nothing an x acto knife can't fix

Did they put this thing on backwards, or is it a fake render? Last time I checked, the volume rockers were not on that side of the phone....

Well that's not the back, it's showing the face of the phone. That shouldn't be volume rockers, it should be the power and sim tray.

You are correct, that is a render in a sense. Or they put the phone in backwards lol. You see the speakers are pointed towards the bottom. That orientation dictates that the phone should be faced down. lol

Hybrid Flip PU Leather Case is fantastic for no more than £3/$4

Bought this case off eBay for £2.78 and have never been happier with a product this cheap. The thing isn't too cheaply made, it's just generic, the appearance however is anything but generic.
You can get these cases in a bunch of styles, I liked this one since it reminded me a bit of Marques Brownlee's color scheme.
The build quality is just standard, but it really can not be perceived as bad. It still has the annoying trait of being less than pleasing to hold in the hand when you bend the front cover back like most leather-esque cases are, except for the higher quality ones (Which don't exist for the OPO to my knowledge). There aren't that many cases for the OPO out there still left in production, so the only ones you can find are that bulky metal one people keep raving about, or others with branding all over the place. This thing is just a mass-produced, average quality, but very aesthetically pleasing case, and I couldn't recommend it more.
Here's some pics of mine as is:

Don't think I've seen anybody really review this case, but I'm pleasantly surprised to see a nice looking case for the OPO that's still available and isn't extortionate.

Looks nice, I am not usually a fan of flip cases. I assume this is the one

Looks like it. I just wanted something stylish so I got it, and for the price of the currently existing decent cases for the OPO I could get 10 of these.

Nope, I hate those things, since it would have to wrap around the side. There's always this and this though.

I'm honestly not a fan of those either, that's always the first part to break. Lol. I'm wanting to know if the phones screens turns on automatically when you open the flip cover. Thanks for the quick response.

I think that is just a stock feature if the case supports it. I don't know of a setting that you can turn off and on for it to work. Oh well that would have been a big selling point on this case for me but thanks for letting me know! Still looks really nice!
