So I was sitting in the nosebleed section of Chemistry lecture today barely able to make out the slides at the front of the room when I noticed a funny looking belt buckle on my professor. At first, my impression was, "the dude's wearing a freaking open-faced cell phone (looked like a white Sanyo Katana) holder for a belt buckle!?"
Upon closer inspection it was determined that this wasn't the case, but it got me thinking about how this wasn't such a bad idea. Imagine if you wore your phone with the screen of the Hermes exposed outward on a belt buckle. How exciting would it be to send and receive text messages or surf the internet. Put on some tunage with your favorite visualization and hypnotize all the ladies! And keep your phone on vibrate for a little extra attention grabber the next time you receive a call.
I can't wait to pitch this one to my girlfriend...
And if anyone has found anything like this before, please share it for all to know!
Jestful regards,
Lancealot
Edit: I found this link on Gizmodo for an iPhone Belt.. enjoy
wow. I mean, what else are you going to say to that? It's cool. You could be the next quadrillionaire, just like the pet rock guy.

cool idea. I see a lot of busted LCD's in your future son.
nevermind. Saw edit
Nice but very bad idea at this time of hurry and worry. what if it got stuck and you are in the middle of emergency in toilet. Simple belt can be tear off or something. What if you are peeing and you got the call and suddenly you dropped and your pee answered the phone.

Hey guys I haven't posted for awhile. But I bought something cool for my Hermes/8525 from EBAY and I wanted to let you guys know about them. They are made of super-tuff vinyl. Like the stuff cops use for their car graphics. They are shiny and tough. I carry my hermes in my pocket (yeah, yeah I know) but I am a rather large guy. And trust me I don't need anything on my belt to make me bigger in diameter... I have been carrying the Flame skin in my pocket for a few weeks, and it shows no sign of wear. I also bought them for two wizards and my Wife and Daughter have had the same results. They are flawless, no scratches, no fading, and not one loose edge. You'd think that I work for them or something, but I swear I don't. I just wanted to let you guys know that they are cool. And Devon (owner?) is a stand-up guy. The first order I received one wrong. Without question he shipped a replacement that day!
Nice!
I like the way you've changed your today bg to match....smmoooth!

Pretty simple the skin comes as a complete graphic, already cut out, on a supery shiney looking photo paper(ish). He can do custom ones of what ever you want. After I peeled and applied the skin, I scanned and cropped the remainder, saved it as a jpg, and used themegenCE...
I am gonna do a closeup picture of my kid (I think It will be cool) her eyes will be the today theme!
Yeh,
I just bought the same type of skin off Ebay. Just waiting for it to get here!
Whats wrong about carrying it in your pocket ?
I do the same
Ontopic: It looks very nice!! I guess those things arent very expensive arent they?
How's it holding up? I was thinking about doing a custom one, but I'm a little put off by the cast vinyl idea (at least without handling it myself).
Does the vinyl catch dus and start to peel away? That's the problem I have with the skins when I put my phone in the pocket
I have been showing mine off at the office and all the time someone is holding it, especially one handed, I just cringe. My two year old likes to hold it herself while she plays the games I downloaded for her so we are always sitting and I have a pillow on her lap to rest it on. Man! I can't wait for decent cases to become available for this thing.
I hold this thing like a baby when someone else holda it I stand there and watch them carefully I'm not letting this thing hit the ground
I'm looking to get a good case asap also. I had 2 close calls. one time it almost slipped holding it one handed. althoughi love the look of the aluminum back, it is very slippery. I usually try to always hold it with 2 hands. this thing is light as a feather compared to my ipad1 but being slippery makes me Leery of one hand use till I get a case.
had another major scare when my 16 month old daughter took the thick, heavy Comcast cable remote and banged it pretty hard against the screen. you know how lil kids like to bang things in their hand up n down. I was like WoooooooA! so glad this thing has gorilla glass. no scratches or anything from that. I think because its so thin and flat, its pretty much baby proof if they bang on screen with their hands/palms. my Ipad held up to alot of abuse also and I kept it mostly in the official apple case. I have the targus truss case also that I mostly use when traveling. it provides maximum protection but adds alot of bulk/ thickness. my Ipad survived daughter constantly banging on it, drops flat on the screen on hard surface, and drops on the corner of it on hard surface. it survived it all with no screen cracks or scratches on screen. I'm pretty confident the prime can even hold up to more abuse. I don't even think ipad1 had gorilla glass. I am looking for a good case though. I saw a nice one in accessories section of a leather one at amazon. its on sale for like only $11. there's a thread or link to it in that section of prime forum. I forgot the name of it case. looks good.

Yea, I know what you mean. When people are asking me questions about it I can tell that they are looking at me. But all along I am looking at it making sure it doesn't slip from their hands.
No course calls yet I'm thinking of getting an accidental warrenty though

My screens already lose so I need a replacement I'm scared if I drop it screen might become worse
I haven't dropped mine yet, but I took mine to work one day. My boss was talking about how she wants to buy the Ipad 3. I showed her mine and she asked to see it so I gave it to her. After looking at it, she sat it on the desk and the spun it so she could at it in landscape mode. I cringed when she did it but figured it would be fine because of the aluminum backing.
Come to find out yesterday when I looked at the back, there are about 4 small scuffs, two on each side of the logo, which I deducted probably came from my boss turning it around on the desk :'(. I guess the back isn't as tough as I thought. Luckily, I had already called game top 2 days after I bought it asking for an exchange because of screen issues. I just hope the replacement has the same build quality and screen as this one. Compared to my original transformer, the whites looked much more true on the Prime.
Dropped mine, but only from a 2 feet or so, but I tried to soften the blow with my toe. It cut it instead, haha, IT TASTED BLOOD. Anyway, careful, edges are quite sharp when falling ^_^
I did today, and look what happened

In my IT Shop that is called the "Technical Tap". Quite useful in some situations though it should be performed by a qualified technician!

I do that all the time to TF101 and the plastic has no scratch. Why Asus had to changed the back to aluminium? It causes only problems...
Hey guys. Just thought I'd give you a headsup here.
I've had a bunch of phones (listed in my signature), but I have never encountered this before.
The other day as I was gaming I kept bumping my hand into my phone over and over. This has never happened before, despite that I normally put it on the far corner of the mouse surface to have it readily accessible. I didn't think any of it first and just moved it up, thinking that maybe I accidentally moved the surface or such, causing the phone to move.
Then in some downtime in the gaming I looked down and realized the phone was moving. My god! There was practically zero friction! My phone was just gently gliding around the mouse surface, lolygaging about. I had a little fun with it, poking the phone to make it slide a different direction and making my cat freak out with it.
I then put it to the side on the table, thinking that my hardshell mouse surface was probably so low friction that it made the phone slide around. But the same thing happened on my wooden desk. It kept sliding around. Then I turned it over with the display upwards, and it was fine.
This morning same thing happened, and it actuall slid off the edge of my kitchen counter (marble) and into the floor! The phone is fine, by some kind of miracle, but I was surprised it managed to pick up enough speed to not get stuck on the edge of the counter. I tried pouring some water on the counter to see if it was leaning, but nope. Flat on both according to the water and a spirit level.
My only conclusion is that the phone is so flat all around, including bezels, that it creates a small air bubble underneith it, which it then slides on. The feeling is that of an air cushion as well.
I realize most people probably dont put it display down, but if you do, be aware of this. My phone almost jumped to its death by it, surviving only by a guardian angel. I thought about it and decided it was a big enough risk to give people the headsup.
Stay safe G2'rs!

Good to know. Where I am, they only sell cases for QuickWindow (last I checked). I bought one, but it is taking a while to get used to holding the phone when talking since I can't wrap my fingers around the phone.
I was considering taking it off, but that notion is no longer in my head thanks to your post. BTW, you should post some vid on messing with the cat!
Hah, I just might. She's like.. "Oh, looks like fun", pokes it a bit, notices how it doesn't act as expected and is all like "BLAARGH" smashing it around and trying to kill it. xD
The screen is very silky, compared to my S3, Atrix, Kindle and my friends HTC 8S.

So what you're saying is glass is slippery? In other news the sun will set in the west tonight. Just kidding, but I wouldn't ever put my phone face down without some type of case to keep the glass from contacting anything bad. The Nexus 4 was extremely slippery, the way LG is making curved edges on the screens doesn't help in that regard.
Well, I've learnt to put mine screen down to protect it from things falling on it. The nature of my job means things may well fall on it. I use a screen protector film anyways.
And yes, glass can be slippery but doesn't have to be. None of my other phones have had this kind of behavior, probably due to them having a slight lift from the frame, keeping the glass off the actual surface.
Regardless, for some its a non-issue, but for those that it might affect, I thought I'd share.
Hoverboards are next. I can feel it.

This is a good point. I usually flip my phone screen down at night so the notifications LED isn't lighting up the room. Needless to say, my dog wasn't very amused when the phone slid off the nightstand and woke her up.

So I'm not alone! Lets hope someone saves a screen at least.
thanks for the headsup, on low friction surfaces things slide.
You check if you need to level your furniture so gravity doesnt make things slide
a case would help as well
Pretty common occurence also on the shiny plastic Samsung devices Even iPhones suffer from it.
Again, it's most likely due to the curved glass edge of the LG screen. I prefer the curved glass, and my best suggestion to those that need to put their phone face down due to work hazards should probably put a case on the phone. If heavy things have a chance of falling on it, it's probably a good idea the phone is either in a case or in your pocket. Just friendly advice so please don't take it as otherwise.
I had the GNex before so wasnt an issue...but day 1 with the phone. Put it face down on the counter top like I had always done before and got in the shower. My wife comes in and all the sudden.....BAM! My phone hits the ground. (thankfully on the mat!) She said she saw it kinda "gliding" towards the edge. Low and behold, this thing almost floats face down on any slick surface. I almost never put it face down anymore...lesson learned.
i bought the 10000mAh battery with case earlier this year and it's been great. i can abuse that battery like no other and it just won't die.
however, the real reason for this post is about the case.
i recently had a potato moment and left my phone on the roof of my friends car that i was working on. went for a test drive, out of my neighborhood, down teh main streeet at about 35 mph and suddenly i hear a weird little noise and look up in the mirror to see my phone bounce down the back window, off the trunk, onto the street and then into the ditch.
immediately my heart stopped and i ducked into the first turn off i got to., got out and walked along the side of the road, hoping to find my phone, expecting the worst...
Found it face down in the grass and immediately picked it up and turned it over... glass was intact! the plastic frame of the case had one crack in it that i was able to put back in place inside the rubber case. the rubber had some road rash but was overall intact as well. only thing wrong was my Spen was missing as it must have been ejected by the impact.
no big deal as i ordered a new one.
Main point though, this case works!
So close. My UAG had a similar experience. Ran over by a lorry due and as good as new!

Awesome, one of the best things to happen to cell phones. Actually the deciding factor in me choosing the note 3 over nexus 5.

At this point in your tale my heart stopped and I got sick to my stomach at the thought of my newly rooted N3 bouncing down the street. This could so easily happen to me. Great to hear it worked out okay!
Would you try that again if you're so confident that the case works? Personal experience does not equal fact.

jeez dude, relax. it worked for me the one time i needed it. that's all i need. i have no idea if it iwll work again because there's no way to guarantee it will hit the pavement at the exact same angle.
it worked better than no case and i'im pretty confident in saying it works better than some of the other cases i've had in the past that I know wouldn't hold up to the same situation.
did you have a bad experience with yours or are you just trying to stir up soemthing out of nothing?
i read alot of amazon reveiws and forums about this battery .plenty people have dropped there's off scaffolding and at heights ect and survived glad yours is held up but its the battery life i bought this for and its doing really well 19 hours on screen time and 3 days untill charge im really happy .it does feel vey sturdy though it dont have to be delicate with it anymore its like a tonka toy?
Can you upload pics of your damaged case ???
And here I was sure I was alone.
I've managed exactly sane scenario as above and my phone also lived to waste more of my time everyday >]. Thou in my case, ZL casing survived intact. And few years before broken whatitsname holder sent my galaxy tab clothed in otterbox defender through car window on particularly emotional curve. Again, there were survivors.
Those cases work and I can't consider "naked"device complete without one now. And ZL add really big battery to the mix..
Found a holster that goes over your shoulder, you can wear it under a jacket or vest. Avoids buldge in your pants pocket and awkward belt holster. It's kind of on the pricey side. Thought of asking my gf to get it for me for Xmas lol. Kind of cool and it cones with a wallet in the other side. You can also take off the wallet if you choose not to use it. It's made with vegan leather. They chose to use this over real leather because apparently real leather carries moisture and odor, also stains. They stated the vegan leather ages and fades (patinas sort of) like real leather. http://www.ldwest.com/shop/ you can also check the Instagram account @LG_west_atl
I'm confused, you want to avoid the bulge in your pants caused by the phone by making a bulge over your shoulder? I mean, maybe I just am not vogue, but I think that a bulge over your shoulder would be a little more abnormal than one in your pants pocket. Maybe if there was an image of this product being used by someone, I would understand more, but as it is, this makes very little sense...
Over the shoulder boulder holder? I'll have my wife pick me one up next time she heads to Victoria's Secret. Hard pass from me. Prefer the bulge in my pants I guess.
I think this is like an inside jacket holster like police carry their guns in.

This might be practical if you are going out of the country worried about losing stuff but for everyday use this is some hipster stuff. To each their own though.
