Hi xda dev members! Yesterday when i took a 100m run, i fell off and the watch pop out from my hand. And after that i realise that i no longer can use this watch because the band just cant be 'locked'

Thanks!
Can you post a few more photos to see where is the problem?

I couldn't tell for sure, but it sort of looks maybe like the latch is bent (if not, ignore this). The latch should be almost a 90 angle sticking straight up, maybe angled a hair to the right if sticking straight up and looking from the power button side. Sadly, I couldn't get a clear enough picture at the right angle, but perhaps you could find some to compare. Also try watching some YouTube reviews of the watch that tend to linger on that area. That may be helpful.
If you were having the same issue as me, I fixed it by bending the bottom curved piece more inward. If the two curved pieces don't look right when it's closed, this could be your problem also.
Attached a couple images to try and illustrate this, I think I could even stand to get the curved pieces to line up a little more, but my wristband has a pretty strong latch going so I'm happy as is.
I have the same problem .. did you solve by bending the piece. I could not solve

I tried this now and it seemed to work! Thank you so much for your solution!
Worked for me too
I actually bought a rubbishy eBay strap as I couldn't fix my old one, that strap snapped then I found this thread, bent the clasp as shown in the picture and my original strap is perfect again! Thank you so much for this tip!

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

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.
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.

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.
Verizon store gave me the dot view case and really want to use it daily especially if mods are coming out but how the u use this thing? I can't figure out a one handed way to use it say for quick text message or what not.
Is it normal for phone lid to not sit flush? Seems cheaply made as I don't see how this is on purpose?
Any tips on how to use this thing one handed and how to get the lid to stay closed flush? First ever wallet style case to not sit flush, don't understand that.

Looking at your photos I see you have a glass screen protector fitted which is the reason the cover will not close properly. Mine closed perfectly when I got it but now I have fitted a glass protector it is the same as yours so it is not a problem with the case.
You're right. See that now. Would putting rubberbands around it holding it closed tight over night maybe help? Not sure with this rubber strap.

I don't have a screen protector and the device never sat completely flush against the screen. To answer your original question, I couldn't figure out how to use it comfortably when needing to use it. Unless I am traveling I don't use the case.
The only thing that I can set that will help out sit flush is if you use a dremmel to remove some of the material from that corner where it first contacts the gals screen protector. There is excess material there that is causing it not to be able to close

Anyone know of a thin temeprrd glass screen protector with round edges on the sides instead of square? Maybe this will help. Mine is only .3mm thick I believe or less but square edges so raised.
It's being processed right now, should be up in a few minutes. Here's some pictures in the mean time

That spot on the bottom corner is simply the injection molding point, not a defect.

Other than that, the injection molding mark: you can see it clearly in the picture above on the red case (to the left of the speaker hole). If you've ordered one of our Nexus 5 cases in the past 3 months or so, or any of our S5 and LG G3 Cases, you probably received a case that had a similar mark on the bottom. This is where the plastic gets injected into the mold, afterwords a small mark is left. We used to put it on the bottom or top corner of our cases, or sometimes along the edge of the microUSB hole in an attempt to hide it. The factory recently figured out a new technique to make it a small dot on the bottom of the case instead of the larger and longer mark we had before. It looks a lot better than the old mark on the corner of the case did, but I know no one wants a mark on their case no matter how it looks. I'd love to put it on the inside of the case, but I'm told that isn't an option.

Is the case grippy or does it slide around in your hand?

It kind of slides in my opinion, but then again of course it will since we're so used to the Sandstone being so grippy. But I don't really ever have the idea of my phone sliding out of my hand when using the Diztronic TPU. I'm really bad at explaining these kind of things but I hope that helps.
I don't have any issues with it.

Your pictures are not loading. Also if you have a good experience with a case, drop a note on http://forum.xda-developers.com/one...usion-shock-absorption-bumper-t2849205/page10 as its pretty much filled with negativity in terms of people receiving cases with loose sides.

Wow looks very nice.
Playing around....Took a picture of bamboo cutting board at Target. Photoshop'ed it with the OnePlus logo and printed a 4x6 from it. I didn't really cut the camera hole out very well but I have another photo to try again.
Enjoy.
If anyone wants the image to print for themselves there it is.

Very Nice!
Just a suggestion regarding the camera hole "notch" on the supplied template. I don't cut out the "notch", I just flip the template over after trace over it again to fill it it. After I cut it out, I put it on the case and mark the camera hole with a pen then use a small hole punch. Looks much better IMO.

I saw you do that in your picture and it is beautiful indeed. I wanted to do the same but I lacked a tiny hole pucher to do it. I could have done it using a pen knife but I don't trust my cutting skills.

That thickness tho...
Very cool stuff. I will have to order one of these cases. I have some carbon fibre vinyl around here I could put to good use. Chrome would look good as well.
bye bye fingerprints...........
I got tired of fingerprints with the glossy back. I covered the back exterior with carbon fiber vinyl.
