Hi,
I've seen a lot of people struggling with S Pen holders for their cases. The cases that come with pen loops normally have magnets that interfere with the S Pen writing experience. And the non-folio cases typically don't have pen holders.
So I decided to make my own. The inspiration was Samsung's own Tab Active 2.
Step 1:
Buy the standard Leuchtturm pen loop. Or any other similar brand.

}
Step 2:
Cut the non-loop part as shown below
Step 3:
Insert into the Top right speaker slot of the case. I'm using the i-Blason hard case
Step 4:
Slide in the pen!
This system has been working perfectly for me for the past 6 months. And I much prefer having the pen near the top of the tablet than on the side with traditional loops. Makes it much easier to slider the tablet into a sleeve and looks much better aesthetically (IMHO)
Let me know what you folks think..

So I purchased these about 3 weeks ago and have been happy about it so far.
Purchased FULL BODY KIT
http://phantomskinz.com/htcevo4g.aspx
Look:
Overall not noticeable. On the sides you can see lines where the 3 side body kit pieces meet. I had to trim them down a bit to make them fit. I think i may have stretched them a little.
At first I had a few air bubbles over the last 3 weeks they have all seemed to go away.
However I can still see slight remnants of whatever adhesive keeps it in place I do see less but I guess in time ill know whether it will go away entirely. I can only see it on the screen when it is off.
Feel:
Feels fine no rubbery feel which is what i was attempting to stay away from.
Overall Impression:
I like it so far and was shipped 2 kits so on a 2nd attempt i know I can do a lot better. Also to note you can replay current skin as often as you want or so they claim have not tried it yet.
some pics:

I'm hoping to get the same answer here as well! Anyway, I've read somewhere that the only pouch that would be able to fit both would be to purchase the Galaxy Note pouch...
Don't try a Yomix with Rock Quicksand: http://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B0076I5JS2
It doesn't fit!

Just as good as a screen protector, as long as you leave the thing in the car on your outings to the beach and dont let any sand get in there
Edit: It looks kind of thick and soft in the picture but the actual material is better - thinner but its actually durable and is double-lined. If you do go for it, you can remove the little bead on there (which doesnt even show in the listing picture) and the knot will keep the case the closed by itself just fine. I personally found the bead kind of annoying and its unnecessary.
So I bought my nexus 7 release day, excellent piece of hardware. I have a folio faux leather case and screen protector. I pulled it from the case today and noticed this... Never dropped thrown damaged Etc and I really baby all my devices. No idea where to start. Warranty coverage?? Happened to anyone else? Hope I'm not screwed on this one, pretty bummed out.

Looks like it would just click back together.
I have a Moko case that clips on the bottom corners, and sometimes when I remove the case from the corners of the tablet the back of the tablet starts to come off something like you pictured, but not as much. I simply snap (or press) the back, back on to the tablet. Are you not able to do that also? The backs come off rather easily as some people have removed them to fiddle with the wireless charging contacts. Everything else seems good on my tablet, so I will just be more careful when removing the case.
I finagled the case back on however one of the clips seems to be broken off unfortunately
So I placed an Order for a Custom Printed HTC One Case.

It looks like it's printed onto the case apposed to the POS Sticker Cases you find for the iPhone, lets see how long it lasts.
Taken with my HTC One

I'm really tempted. How well does it fit? Does it seem like it would protect the phone well? How bulky?

It fits great almost too good kind of a pain to take the phone out of it, it's extremely slim.
Only one Gripe about it is the top and bottom only go a part of the way up the phone, and the headphone port is sharp, I feel they should of rounded off those edges and corners
I have been looking for exactly like this. But the durability is a little concern, feel free to post some updates that how it lasts.
There are some truly gorgeous stands that folks have build. The most inspiring are the ones made of wood. Unfortunately I have neither the proper tools nor skills to make something like that. Instead I worked with what I had which included a 110V MIG welder and some pencil rod. (Sort of like rebar but smooth and about 1/4" in diameter and cheap. )
It's a little crude but does the job.

I might have done a better job or aligning the cutout for the USB connector. It was supposed to slant down.
I prefer landscape orientation for this application so magnets weren't really necessary, just a stand that would hold the charger reasonably well.
(Note: This is on no way intended to demonstrate skillful welding. I would have to hire someone to do that. Like my mentor said. If all you want to do is stick pieces of metal together ... )
I haven't decided what finish to go with. I might just seal the rust with some kind of clear spray paint. First I need to rust the shiny bits.
I like it. Simple and to the point.
Sent from the jaws of my Hammerhead!
really well done man. id love to have one
