the three keys (back,menu,home) are not protected
please post your views
it has a nice color
thx for sharing
Awwww Yeah! Amazing one! I'll buy one like this! Ebay, here I go!
Mine started ripping after about 9 months on the spot where the rubber edges of the case meet the actual case itself (The line that you see going all across, distinguishing between the two types of materials used for the case). All in all it was still a pretty good case, mines been through hell, probably why it ripped.
I just got mine on the mail today. It's black, and it's not cheap.
I decided to get one after reading so many good reviews about it. I haven't opened it yet, so wish me luck.
i love the case..... how may colorsto choose from??? anyone got any good seller from ebay to recommend??? thanks in advance
I do not know that he will not be used for a long sticky ~
But do not know whether there are other colors
That looks nice but it must be hard to pop the USB cover with it...

Hey could you say me what did u do when it ripped off?? Did you stick it?? Because I am afraid as it is slightly ripping off the edges...What case are you using now??
Where can I puchase one of these other than Ebay?
Ha! If you plan on getting one from Ebay, plan on shelling out $20. It's a cool case, but for now, I will stick to my $2 Hard Rubber case.
Too bad nobody's selling this over here... would love to try one.
I have been using the black version of the same case. Available at Croma stores all across India. Cost me around Rs.800 (appx $20). Real good proection, also adds a touch of class.
i have the black one but i,m not happy with that on my phone... make my phone bigger and the case from x10 ii is pretty good on scratches

http://www.mobimega.com/capdase-alumor-metal-case-sony-ericsson-x10.html
just google "buy x10 alumor capdase". I found to many to list all
Has anyone found the cheapest place to buy this case?
Nice case ! Has others colors ?
Thought I'd show some pictures of my DIY Travel case.
I already have the MOFI Kangaroo Pouch but wanted some extra protection when carrying it in a backpack or on a plane to protect the screen.
Parts needed.
- Aluminium drop saw
- 8mm drill
- 6mm Aluminium
- Black anodized 2mm Aluminium
- Loctite 480 glue
- Printable sticker for Android label.
Basically I cut the aluminium to just fit around the phone while it was in the Mofi case.
Drilled the 8mm holes around the sides and end of the case to save some weight + it looks good.
Glued it together with Loctite 480 Glue.
Lots of filing and sanding.
Android logo from Google images - print out and stick on case.
The case is about 20grams more than an Iphone 4.
I had all the bits laying around at home so I didn't even have to buy anything.
What do you think?
I haven't tried running it over with a car but I think it's up for the job.
Srrry 2x post
In one word "Beautiful" !
If you could make more, i think you could sell a lot of those.
I would buy one ( without the sticker ).
Awesome

Excellent stuff indeed my friend you should make a few of these and sell them to XDA members for €15 and €25 everywhere else i estimate you'll sell a few dozen to start off with, ill definitely take one with the Android sticker
Bump - anyone else interested in having one of these?
HECK YEAH! I'd love one of these
Depends on postage though.
I want also one with Sticker.

No protection for the bottom part of the tablet. Closing the case does not ensure the screen is actually protected as the part the screen is covered with can slide off of it. Dumped it quickly.

I do agree with some of the comments above however it is my case of choice. I sold a quality noreve leather case and stuck with the original Samsung book cover case as my daily driver with a solution to full protection using another protective case along with it.

You compromise portability by using two of those together. Check the one that was made by Samsung for Galaxy Tab 10.1 with a flap over the bottom part of the device and see how you could avoid using two cases instead of one.
Thank you for your feedback! Where do you get the fancy pen? I really like the thin form of the case. Can see it really well in your pictures.

Yes indeed it was a compromise however the weight of the two together was roughly the same as the leather case I had so for me did not matter. This setup gives me reassuarnce that even after a hard drop, the tablet should be safe whilst transporting as it is whilst on the move, that I am more likely to drop it. Once it it is in the office or at home, it is kept on the desk or on my bed without much risk of dropping and then I have the lightest and practical cover for my specific needs.
I have also purchased another bag that has a secure slot for any 10" tablet with padding around it and is used when I need to carry more than just my tablet with me and similarly when I take the tablet out, it is usually at a desk, this also eliminates the need for me to carry the second housing.
At the time of me buying my case, the one with the securing flap was not available otherwise I probably would have purchased that one instead. Having said that, I still probably would have bought a secondary case for transporting as the Samsung ones are too thin for real protection but are the most practical in my opinion.
The moral here is, if you are considering buying one of these thin cases, it is advisable to consider a second protective case or buy a fully protective leather / pu case that is adequately padded with the downside of it making the tablet feel a lot heavier.

I currently have the White GALAXY Note 10.1, and I had a faux leather case (generic) from Amazon, and gave it about 2 months of use.
After that I decided to risk my money and bet on the official book cover (in white, as well).
I must say it is extremely durable and gorgeous. It has, somehow, a corporate look, it's extremely thin and the back is well protected.
The cover, on the insides, has a thin and soft veil-like texture, and it sort of acts as a screen cleaner, each time you lift up the front part of the cover. (only applies to naked screen).
All in all, it's durable, I have the white for 2 months now and it's still the same pristine white as it was when it came in the box.
It's resistant and the writing position just works (no Steve Jobs quote intended).
If you have doubts, well, I recommend it!
official Samsung case is good looking, nice design, ****y quality and protection - mine is getting bubless by time on margins - squeezing it does remove them but wtf?! I recommend looking for something else !
I have been using the case for abouta week. I also havea screen protector on the tablet.
pros:
Very light weight
Feels good
Offers several viewing angles, when it works. See cons
Cons:
Magnets are not very strong and don't always hold it in the more up upright position.
Does not positively close, so it can expose your screen in a bag or back pack..
That said, I've been trying other solutions and none seem quite right. I have a gel case thatI bought to bulk up the tab to fit in a cheap cardboard folio usb keyboard case I have left over from another tablet. Although not very elegant, I thinkI will use it for travel as I can use the keyboard on airplanes, it provides extra protection, andI can remove three tablet with the gel case for just walking around. Just need a sturdy OTG and this set up is still less expensive than the official Samsung cover, unless you snag one of the 34.00$ deals from Amazon.
I've also tried the BT keyboard cover. Someone just needs to make one, who had actually useda tablet. Put the same clips in both sides so you don't have one that interferes with the space bar, make the shift and cap keys smaller so the keys can geta bit bigger and fall under you fingers, providea deeper trough so the tab is steadier and the back rest can be redesigned to help with that. I'm sure ZAGG will figure it out.
Finally because of the cons of the Samsung, I am thinking of ordering one of the knock offs that has the flap that closes on the back like the one for the tab10. I think I've seen it where the while thing, flap included, rolls like the iPad cover.
Finally, Samsung needs to work out the magnet thing, offer a smart cover, which should at least be possible with the phone variants.
I guess the simple answer to you question is mixed feelings about the official cover.

I ordered two knockoffs for wife and I. When it gets in from China, official covers go back to Best Buy. They offer virtually no protection and are so not worth the $50 each I paid for two.
I have a question to book cover owners: is it possible to rest your wrist on the tablet while taking notes when book cover is in the position like on the attached screen shot? Or your hand is to heavy and you and the magnet will slip of the back?
I would say that that position is ideal for typing and not the best position for resting the palm on especially if you are heavy handed as it's not really designed for taking heavy loads.

That's not good to hear - that case was next on my shopping list :/
I'm looking for a case that could handle my wrist when taking notes in a position like on the previous screen shoot, probably I will take a look at this one: puro case unfortunately it looks like no one from xda forums is using this one :/
One thing I notice with this case is that it does not cover the camera. I really like that. If you pick it up please review it!

This case does in fact cover the camera when folded back.
Does it? Do you have a picture of that?

I can confirm that yes when the case is folded the back camera is covered. In order to take a picture with back camera you would need to hold up the flap while pushing the on screen capture. Not as difficult as it sounds but you look stupid doing it. I mean if your taking pictures in public with your tablet you look like a tool already so it shouldn't bother you to much. Ill get a picture on here soon.

Ladies and Gentlemen,
My Eclipse case from Element Case just arrived this morning in the mail !
I'll just make a quick unboxing with some pictures and I'll detail what's included in the box for those interested in this case.
Here are the pictures (click to get to the web album) :
And here is what is included :
1x case (ofc) ,
1x screen protector,
1x screen protector applicator thingy,
1x microfiber wash cloth,
1x wrist lanyard (removable)
1x installation guide
That's it !
I'll edit this post after a few hours of use to give you my first impressions and add more pictures once the case is installed on the phone.
Ask for more detailed pictures of the product if needed, I'll be happy to provide.
PS : Someone knows how to make some kind of embedded/slideshow with a picasa web album ?
Congrats on your new Eclipse case. I have had mine for a couple months now and still love it. This will probably be my last gs3 case purchase.
I love mine, although it is a bit bulky Im a fan :good: I have however taken a break from it for a few weeks to use my fake Spigen neo hybrid
question for you guys that have that case, if you were to drop the case will it pop out like some cases do? and how is it kept closed?

The aluminum trim piece has a small L channel that matches up with another channel in the TPU. It stays together very well. It is actually somewhat difficult to get them apart once they are together. I have dropped mine twice from a little higher than waist level and never had an issue with it coming apart. The aluminum scratched up and that was it.
Can you get them anywhere besides their website?

^^ thats where I got mine from, got it fast too!
Looks like the only perk to that one is free shipping. Do they make one with a white chasis and silver bezel?
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using Tapatalk 2
I think the only color options are silver bezel on black tpu and black bezel on black tpu.
I am pretty sure that you only save shipping by using the ebay link but if I remember correctly, Element charged over $10 for shipping.
Purchased this case about a month ago and it has not come off my phone since. Yes the kickstand is flimsy, but adequate for my needs. The sound channel is the primary reason I bought this case and it's awesome. I initially thought it was a bit pricey but has been worth every penny.
I thought I had seen a video review with a white one.
Heres the link.

Hey all!
This is just an idea, I really like the many skins that we can get, but they're not easily available here in India, and even if they are, they take too long to deliver I'm reading. So I had a simple idea, as there are so many DIYers around here.
Why not take a generic eBay TPU case that sells for $1-3 and cutout the nexus logo on the back? If someone can find a way to make fairly precise cutouts, it would be awesome! Using a laser cutter or some other method. Then this could be filled with transparent plastic melted, or a different colored moulding plastic or something so that it becomes see through or a different color to the case!
What do you guys think? Has anyone tried this? I'm posting a pic of a cheap case I have and was thinking of doing this. But I have no idea how to proceed.
sorry forgot to post the image
bump bump. anyone?
I would probably cut it with a razor blade that I held under a flame for a minute or so and cut from the inside... But I doubt there's a way to connect another color nicely

Cut a hole much smaller than what you want around where the nexus label is, put the case on, then mark it according to how you see through the hole. Afterwards just cut and erase... was the clear or confusing?
The cost to operate a CNC laser is way too much money to spend on a 99 cent case made of TPU. You might as well buy the official google case and save a lot of money.
As for filling the cut out with a clear plastic, it's not easy, but do-able. You need a plaster mold of the original case before being cut, and you need clear silicone to fill it in with. Unfortunately with the material difference of TPU and Silicone, the nexus logo would just fall out. I've worked with both materials before on projects at work, and they do not play well together. Realistically you'd need the case to be molded with the clear TPU nexus logo seconds after the main case itself has been casted, both colors of plastic will then cool together and be solid.

oh that sounds much harder than i imagined. I'll just try making a cutout then!
i have a cheep s-line case for the n5 which i dont need anymore, i think i'll maybe try some things.
use a piece of paper to outline the nexus logo like this
and then try your best to align it on your case to cut it out.
maybe you can shade in the camera to help with the alignment too.
There are photo developing chemicals used by people who screen print shirts that might help... most craft stores have them, might be an easy way to chemically etch the case ( you could cut afterward if you wanted
