How to adjust? Plzzz help..
If you have the basic rubber band, the metal clasp there is a pin that pops into a hole. Pop it out, and slide it down the band to another hole then pop it back in.

I'm working on an idea for a motorcycle mount for my EVO. I have a RAM mount with the AMPS bolt pattern but what I need is a metal snap on case if there is such a thing. I'm going to have to drill it and I don't think a plastic case will hold up over time. There may even be a problem with the fitment as I'll need to use very thin screw heads and washers. Any metal or THICK plastic snap on cases out there?
I realize this will probably hurt my signal strength but it will be plugged into the charger the entire time. Will it screw up NAV (GPS) and the compass though?
And of course it has to be secure (won't pop out as I go over a rail road track) but fairly easy for me to get the phone out when we stop to eat or something. (I know - picky, picky). Being as safety conscience as I am I'll probably put a thick rubber band around one end while I'm riding anyway
Thanks.

5 seconds on Google and I found this.

I think it would get really hot and uncomfortable to hold. I could be wrong though

Seems like a bad idea... wait for a ram for it or see if you can request one...
Mine overheats in my tank bag while on the charger. I imagine a metal case would do the same.

Has anyone found a dock other than the official dock that you can use with the flip case, with the flap open so you can use the phone?

Well you can use the Zenis, front flap hangs down the side. It won't work with the flap tucked behind
I've just put the Spigen Neo Hybrid Case on my Nexus 5 today just to give it out a try today, and just noticed on how hard and cringing it is to remove it from my Nexus 5, I've tried bending the rubber at the bottom portion near the usb port, but worried the band might crack, the top portion is even worser, the sides are more flexible, but nothing able to push out from the body of the phone?

What's the Best and Safest way to remove this Case? If anybody knows the right procedure or some good tips on removing this case I'd gladly appreciate it very much, thanks.
Take the band off first, then the rubber case.

i don't think you'll break the phone removing the case.. but if you do figure out a "best" way then post it.. because that thing is a *****. i guess that's what you want. easy to install and hard to remove,, but seriously that thing ain't coming off unless you really want it to.. i've removed mine to show people it's a case and what the phone looks like and they usually tell me to stop when they see how difficult it is.

Is that safe? Others said and recommend to remove the band and the rubber case as a whole, so the band won't bend or anything? Lemme give it a try though, might work.

I have the case, it's how I took it off when I used it. Never had any problems. I mean, it's a two part case. If it was meant to be put on and removed as a single piece you'd think they'd make it a fused hybrid case.
Tools you'll need:
Hammer
Chisel
Method
Place the chisel between the screen and the case and process the hammer away.
WARNING: Hammer may or may not slip from the chisel head and might likely smash screen. Be careful ! I will not take responsible for any damage cause to your device.

I've found the easiest way to pull the case off, is to pull a little on the rubber and then pull the plastic band separate from rubber then slowly pull the band up and off. I usually start a inch or so below the power or volume buttons. It gets easier as you do it. The plastic band is pretty resilient.
I was afraid to break it myself but you'll see what I mean by it's not hard or shouldn't take you too long.
GL!

How do you take of the band first? it seems harder than pulling one corner of the phone for example....

I've noticed on the band that on the upper right side above the power button there isn't a tab that locks it into the TPU like the other edges. If you pull the TPU away slightly from the phone in that spot you can work the band off and then slowly separate the band.
Sounds confusing but once you try it once it's easy to do.
I tried removing the case once, and since then I been scared to put band back on.
My experience:
what I tried to do was remove the whole thing (rubber and band) at once. Terrible idea cause how tight and cringing it was.
I got the bottom part out first, then tried to remove the top with a bit force. It literrally opened up the actual back cover of my Nexus 5.
Gave me a heart attack. Luckily I was able to just snap it back on. I was able to remove the case though...
anyways after that scary experience, i did email spigen to see if they could provide me a tutorial or way to remove the case:
Thank you for contacting Spigen Support!
I always advise customers to take the Neo Hybrid off from the bottom two corners first.
This seems to work the best!
Please let me know if you have any additional questions.
Thank you!

not exactly helpful..
I had the Neo Hybrid aswell. Almost broke the back plate off. And with broke I mean broke. The case fits so tight that I needed much pressure to get it off. I was scared like **** that I damage my N5... Never ever again. Naked is best!
At least the Rearth Ringke cases have uninstallation videos on the support page...just as tough though..
I just bought this case from ebay /itm/271202882085?var=570157052795&ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
The only problem is that it causes all signal to be lost. I've seen posts where people drill holes in the back of the case in order for the signal to work properly. I was just wondering if anyone has ever bought a similar case and have a work around for signal to work properly. Thanks!<3
Nope a colleague of mine has the same problem. Buy other case.

I only have network connection problems. Is there any way to fix this or is the only to drill of small hole on the back of the aluminum back cover?

If you do not care about network then sure. But I want to be able to use network and the case at the same time and I cannot find any solutions so far.
Might not be worth the trouble but you could get someone with a lathe to cut out a new back cover out of a material that doesnt affect signal ( plastic , wood , bacon etc.) and give it a fake alu color coat. Gonna be diffcult to fasten the new back door but it might even make it more protective. Transparent plastic like perspex might look nice.

Another option would be to mould a backplate out of epoxy resin or whatever that stuff is called that ppl use for auto body work and making Stormtrooper suits. Use the bumper as the mould and use a dremel or sandpaper to reduce it to the thickness you need but leaving a bit of space where the screws hold the case together. Tbh I cannot think of any way to improve reception without replacing a majority of the metal with some other material.
Even just cutting out a shape out of the backplate and replacing it with plastic might do the job.
I have not bought this case.
For high quality bumper case, it will enhance the signal. But for some other bumper case, it will weaken the signal.
That's all

i'm considering this cover and have a question
some of the first phone models with built in antenna still had connectors on the back of the phone under the cover for external antenna. does SGS3 have such connectors? i see two rubber covers on back of the phone under the back cover. they are placed on top of the phone, on on the left corner, other on the right corner. could there be a connectors for antenna?
insteresting. I was planning to buy this case but I won't. Thanks your advice.
Or only network signal?
Is anyone using original samsung flip cover on S2? That one looking like a bumper without back and with rubber border around screen edge and leather like thin flap. I do, but i got it used from auction site and after few days rubber part, especially over volume and power buttons, became bumpy and stand out off the phone edges on both sides, and it looks awful. Is it normal or someone used it wrong way? Maybe someone constantly rolled it off playing around buttons so rubber stretched?
