Ok so on the tilt 2 it has a strap/charm hole to put well a strap or charm on ur phone, and i used it alot! But recently the little plastic piece in the hole that holds the charm/strap snapped off on mine, Does anyone have any good suggestions on what I could do, I'm rather clumsy so a strap is rather needed
Where on your Tilt2 do you have such a hole? Mine does not.

that is so obvious is not for a strap!, the only thing i can come up with is that is for some kind attachment whole for like an accesory or maybe a craddle, but definetly not a strap, i dont think, lol
the phone is too heavy and you prob snapped the plastic cover off a lot too didnt you?

Its called a hanger hole, its in the manual
http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/tech-specs/
No my plastic cover never came off
Anyone got and idea of how to fix it?
Looks like the holder is part of the phone frame. If the little T-shaped tab broke off, you may be SOL on fixing it. Perhaps you could buy a broken Tilt 2 off eBay (I've seen them) and transfer the part, but taking a phone apart and putting it back together correctly is not an easy task.
I never would have guessed that hole was for a strap or charm, although that's quite apparently what its for. The T-shaped tab under the battery covers sure doesn't look strong enough for the purpose.
never had a hole on mine, whered u get that from?! lol

oh... so you can wear the phone as a pendant... ya cause its so small and light i might mistake it for a necklace...
Same thing happened to me - I keep thinking how lucky I am it didn't go flying when it broke. I was able to loop the hanger through the square just to the left of where the "t" was - I can provide a pic shortly. Its been working so far...

I never, ever would have guessed that that hole was for hanging the little charms off of. I once wondered why this phone didn't come with something like that when most phones did.
Amazing what reading the manual can do~!
love hanging charms
sorry about your luck.
yep, i love hanging a charm or a cute screen cleaner from the charm hole.
been using it for a year..hope mine doesnt do the same

Oh please do
I use a strap for mine. It works wonderfully!
Wow that's great. Does anybody know where to find a strap that would be good to wear my Tilt2 around my neck please? It would be great for working while wearing a wired headset. Hate keeping it in my pocket and I'm not happy with any of the holsters. Especially that oem one. That sucker will help a guy lose his phone in a hurry...
EDIT; Nevermind. I figured out to search for the words phone and lanyard on ebay. Decisions, desisions.
Memory card lanyards work fine too. I'm using a lanyard for a SanDisk MicroSD adapter for my phone. It works great.
Whoa, that little plastic bit holding the weight of a Tilt 2 on a lanyard or wrist strap? Sounds like tempting fate to me. I never have used a wrist strap on a phone and this definitely doesn't inspire me to try it now, lol. HTC should have built something a little more substantial than that into the frame if they wanted it to be really useful as a hanging point for the phone. I have been wondering where the strap on the HTC accessory page was supposed to attach, now I know.

You are correct. It does look cheesy. However, so far so good. I do think it is important to be certain that the string of the lanyard is seated to the base of the "T" opening really well. Fortunately that is easy to pull off. Also I don't think I'd swing it around by the lanyard with the cover off. After a few weeks of using a wrist strap and a neck lanyard I don't see any signs of stress on the plastic. So maybe it will hold out.

I ordered this case a while back, and I absolutely love it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Hard-Skin...wItemQQptZPDA_Accessories?hash=item45eeeac5fa
The one I ordered was a little cheaper, and didn't include the lcd protection, but the case is the same. Anyway, I think I paid around 8 bucks or so. I did have the body glove case, drilled a hole for the proximity sensor, but after a while, the case started to catch on the clear plastic sticker on the back of the lcd screen. It also started to catch on the side stickers beside the keyboard. This new case fits extremely well, and has yet to catch on anything. The only grip I have is that it is a little slick, but not enough to deter me. Just thought I'd share.

Yeah, it fits perfectly, plus it looks a lot nicer too. Every time I pull it out, everyone always asks me, "Whoa, what phone is that?" I hated having to wear that belt clip for it. Now, I can leave it in my pocket without the side bag on my belt.
Could you post some pics of the phone inside the case plz?

If they are different sizes, I doubt it would fit, but I'm not sure. I did however find a couple on ebay for the tilt 2. I'm sure you can find some more out there.

If this was asked already, excuse my search skills, I couldn't find this on the forum.
Anyway, does the Galaxy S II have a lanyard hole?
I've tried looking at the video reviews, and countless of pictures, but either I can't see it, or it just doesn't have one.
Can someone who owns the phone confirm this, please?
I've never been a fan of lanyards, but considering $800 will be dangling from my fingers every time I use the phone, I'd much rather have a strap of some sort in case I manage to drop it. Yes, even with a case on, I'd still like a lanyard of some sort.
Thanks!

LOL -- I think that's a cute answer.
The random hole is the lanyard hole -- like the previous reply shows, you first remove the back cover.
Next to that random hole, you'll notice there is a hook right next to the hole. Push the entire small loop (the phone end of the lanyard) through the hole, wrap the loop around the hook, and pull to tighten.
The Nokia 5800 also uses a similiar style lanyard hook.

So not only this S2 looks sexy, sleek and with top notch hardware features, but also DOES have a lanyard hole! I'm tired of using a scotch tape hack on my HD2.
All the more reason to upgrade.

I use it because I work in a warehouse and I am not allowed headphones and it muffles the sound in my pocket. So I hang it around my neck and run the radio for 8 hours straight.
*I work spread out in to big a area for a stationary radio. Also machinery has a habit of hitting me exactly at the pocket it would be kept in.
A couple guys like my idea that the next phones they buy are going to have radio or at least smart phones for music playback and lanyard holes.
I've seen the same note on the PDF manual for this phone.
I am not seeing this hook on the brand new AT&T Version of this phone.
Can use the fingernail hole and loop it around the camera????

The case is like the barely there cases with a slide out kickstand built in.
Putting on the case was like putting on the barely there case. Taking it off is the same. Now using the kickstand....well....it's a hit or miss. You can't really use it in portrait, and I am not sure it's supposed to be used that way. That's because the bottom is exposed so the curve of the phone makes it rock back and forth slightly. Now the beauty of this is the portrait mode. This works the best and most stable.

i will post more stand case pics
don't like the fact that the top and bottom of the phone isn't covered by the hard case.. but it does look quite nice.
the stand case looks almost exactly as one that is available from Verizon w/ a holster. I am using this myself and only because of the stand - i don't mind that the top and bottom are exposed as I'm not really expecting to use the case for protection.
I like the case, how skinny is the case? Does it add much bulk? I like the fact that the top is not covered so I can dock the phone.
the stand hard case is really beatiful AND usefull... a precious things, could you make a little review on youtube ? i like to see it if stay in place well in landscape (i bet in portrait if you plug the cable on top the razr tip).
ATTENTION：barely hard case bit difficult press power button

I'm just utterly perplexed why manufacturers make cases for this phone with the SIM cutout.
How often during the day do you need to access your SIM and memory card? In my opinion, they just destroy the aesthetic design of the case.
People may say convenience, but in that theory, all other phone's cases should have cutouts on the back.
It makes me completely pass over a case if it has that cutout. Besides my grievances listed above, it's also another spot for a chip or scratch.
Just stupid in my opinion.

I completely agree with you, but the stand case doesn't have the cut out - one of the few that doesn't
just got mine in the mail today damn nice. touch exterior and the finish is great! even the ultra capsule sgp cases have some molding material hanging on the edges.
I have the same case as OP. And yes, Verizon sells it. I love it! I had the same exact case/holster for my incredible. It suits my needs perfectly. Recommended!

A word of caution:
I've been using a red Nillkin Hard case for a couple of days now and when I removed it there were a couple of red "stains" on the kevlar back. I've tried getting them off with detergent and even rubbing alcohol but they wont even fade. They're really not that bad but it looks a bit like a spilled ketchup and let it dry and it's bugging the hell out of me!

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.

Its the first 5 seconds of the youtube video i posted above.
Hello all. I had bought my v10 last week and got my third party case from eBay a couple of days ago and that's when I learned of the sensor issue. On mine, just like others, the sensor is nearly useless.
So I did some scouting and found the UAG case. I contacted the company in regards to this case and they claim the case works 100% with the fingerprint sensor. Has anyone here used the Urban Armor Gear case? Its a pretty pricey investment and don't want to flush more $$ on cases that just won't work.
Easy Fingerprint / Case fix
Just keep the case you like.
Cut a thin (~1") strip of aluminum foil long enough to connect both metal side rails (~3").
Lay it across the back of your phone so that it covers the bottom volume button and touches each metal side rail.
Then put the case on.
As long as your finger can brush up against the foil when you try to unlock, it works every time.
They'll eventually roll out an update that will address this, so don't worry about "cases that work", they're probably lying anyway unless they have a metal strip built in.

Yep, just make it work. When I put the strip in, I didn't even cut around the hole like in your pics. It actually turned out pretty clean, the aluminum forms itself to the bottom button and looks kind of like a silver half-moon. I could see where yours could work better from some angles, but I never have problems, and am lazy. You can see it on imgur if you paste in mqJXBDY after the slash.

I actually didn't cut that part out I used the excess and rolled it up to line the edge of the cutout so when I touch the FPS my finger would still be in contact with foil without covering up the button. Pretty much my cuts of foil are the red lines with the arrows showing where the pieces were rolled to line the edge.
That is pretty slick.
