[Q]Help me find a case for my developmentally disabled son

[Q]Help me find a case for my developmentally disabled son - HTC Flyer, EVO View 4G

I promised my brain injured son a netbook or tablet for his birthday. (The injury was to his right brain and his left brain is normal.) He will be 37 on Friday, but in a lot of ways he functions around 4 to 7 years old. And he loves to play Angry Birds on my HTC EVO View.
The director of his adult day care program and I talked at length about it. We came to the mutual conclusion that giving him a tablet is extremely risky It has to be a 7" tablet with a Gorilla Glass screen and a battery that is not removable.
For a couple of weeks I've grown weary of checking craigslist and store ads daily for something suitable. At this point an HTC Flyer appears to be the best choice, even though $300 is way out of my comfort zone. When I finish posting, they are holding one for me at Best Buy...
I bought an M-Edge zip-up pouch (that is a bit oversized) and a new lunch box with an outside pocket that the M-Edge pouch will fit into. His daycare program will secure the tablet each morning and put it back in his lunchbox when they check for things that don't belong to him just before he gets on the van to come home.
He will only be allowed to use the tablet at the day care program's computer desk as a reward for not having tantrums or taking other people's things. At home it will only be allowed to be used at the kitchen table.
I will secure it to the desk at the program and the kitchen table at home with a laptop lock / security cable (alarm?). Unfortunately, if he defeats the cable lock, the Flyer could wind-up in the bathtub (Like his Mother's Droid X). And he is pretty good at getting rid of the evidence of things he destroys.
Something like a Seidio Convert or Otterbox Defender case would help protect it from falls and also give me something to attach the security cable to. Unfortunately, Seidio may never make a case for the Flyer, and the Otterbox
Defender is not available yet. I really like the idea of a silicone skin inside a polycarbonate shell. (Seidio active and convert cases have done a pretty good job protecting my EVO 4G phone.) I hope someone knows of a similar case.
Plan 2 is to use something like double sided tape to secure a silicone skin inside a leather folio case (so he can not take it apart easily). Either way, I need to make sure the Flyer is protected when he drops it. But I also need something that he can not easily remove to attach a security cable to.
Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Hello.
I'm very sorry to hear about your son.
But if you would breathe easier with a cheaper tablet, I would wait for the kindle fire to release. Its only $200 and has all the capabilities of a normal tablet but with Amazon's restrictions on it (ie he will be able to play angry birds and much more on it)
Don't quote me on this but I believe it has a gorilla screen protector but I'm not too sure on whether or not it has a permanent battery.
Also, you would be able to spend around $60 adding protection to it. Bodyguardz tab protector, and maybe an otterbox if it releases at the time.
You can preorder it now and you'll get it by Nov 15.
All in all, its going to be $100 cheaper than the flyer.
I hope this helps

theomni, Thanks for your reply. First they told us he would never survive the surgery. Then they told us if he ever came out of the coma he would be a vegetable. After 17 days he woke up.
These days, he would be just as happy discussing where they give out the best toys with happy meals as he would be discussing the pitching staff of the Arizona Diamondbacks. (And I don't watch baseball, so I have no idea how he knows that stuff.) I never use the "R" word, so he surprised the heck out of me a few months ago when, out of the blue, he told me he is glad he is retarded because his brothers have house payments...
He is actually pretty happy and outgoing most of the time. He pretty much says what's on his mind. (in fact, he hardly ever stops talking.) For the most part the economy (and bad knees) forced me into retirement. But occasionally, when we get a job he looks forward to helping me. His pay is usually a happy meal or a $5 toy at WalMart.
Some of his favorite activities at the day care center are zoomba(?), bowling, dancing, and he knows the words to every country song that plays on the little Sony FM radio that's usually in his pocket. I'm kind of like my dad, the radio interferes with thinking. (And riding in the truck with him would be a lot easier if he didn't sing along so off key.)
He's not so happy when he gets in trouble for taking the batteries out of the remote control instead of just asking for one. If we go to a customer's house, I have to check his pockets before we leave. He gets caught with "other people's things" in his pockets at the day care several times a week. It could be one of his nephew's toys or something from our house they find when he gets there. Or it could be something like a cell phone that belongs to one of the staff when it's time to go home. Trying to reason with him about that is like trying to reason with the dog. It just doesn't work.
A few days ago when I picked him up and we checked his pockets he had a toy that belongs to another "client". When I asked him to give it back he told me and the director of the program we don't have to worry about him taking things from stores because they have cameras and would call the police.
Keeping track of what he has in his pockets keeps us on our toes. That's why I have so much concern about getting him a tablet.
Anyway, we were on our way to Best Buy this afternoon when he told me he would rather have $50 to spend on anything he wants at Toys R Us instead of a tablet. So I'm off the hook, at least until Christmas.

I appreciate you sharing what you're going through. I have a daughter that is developmentally disabled, though she is only 4, and I can sympathize with your trials.
Just as my opinion, I would echo what theomni said about the kindle fire. It is likely to have quite a huge aftermarket for accessories and may have either exactly what you need in terms of a case/security method or at least something easily modified.
Good luck in your search if you are able to put it off until Christmas.

You all are in my prayers and if you do decide to buy a htc flyer. They have a otterbox defender shell coming out for in the next couple of weeks. The toughest shell you could ever buy I have one for every device I have. Might want to look into it. They may have one for any tablet u might purchase just check into the site periodically they are always adding a new shell. And again you all are in my prayers. God bless you all and I wish you all the most happiness and serenity in the world.

And check Amazon they have a case that's similar to the otterbox. I would have to look up the name or the case and get back to you with the link

A case that will double as a wallet, possibly custom-made?

So my Touch HD is on it's way, finally (you won't believe the hassle I've had - but that's for another thread).
But I'm worried about scratching the screen and am in need of a good case for it.
I've been looking round at websites that sell leather cases for the Touch HD but none of them are really quite what I'm after.
Given the size of the phone, it's going to play havoc with my current tendency to carry my phone and wallet in the same pocket as each other. There just won't be room.
The idea I'd had then would be to get some sort of case that could fulfil both roles - a case for the phone and a wallet.
It's not an idea that would've sprung to mind normally but when chatting to a friend of mine who has an iPhone and mentioned that I'd find the size an issue, he told me that for nights out and times when he doesn't want to carry round too much stuff with him, he has this Ted Baker branded case which fits the iPhone perfectly and also doubles-up as a wallet - it's the top-right one in this picture.
Now, given the iPhone and the Touch HD are almost precisely the same size, I suppose the same case could be an option but as far as I'm aware, it's discontinued. Not to mention, I'm not one for chav-tastic brand names.
On top of that, I'd much prefer a case that suits me exactly, as opposed to the closest fit I can find from the mass-market options.
Anyway, the point of this post is that I'm wondering if anyone is aware of any sites that sell custom/bespoke leather cases.
I'm aware of Vaja but they don't sell cases for the Touch HD yet, or possibly at all (they have no plans to support it yet). I also know of Noreve but they're not too big on the customisation side of things.
So, if anyone's aware of any other options, I'd be interested in hearing them.

See this topic:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461777&page=3.

Thanks, I was already aware of the Noreve case but that's a better picture of the credit card slots than I've seen elsewhere.
Problem is, I'm not sure that would be enough.
I carry around more than two cards and would want somewhere to put some cash as well.
Thank you again though.

Hi Step666, not sure if you're still looking for one but... http://cgi.ebay.com/E5-EASECASE-Cus...photoQQcmdZViewItemQQ_trksidZp1742.m153.l1262

I am still looking, yeah.
Thank you, that is perfect, honestly.
In fact it's freakishly close to the image I had in my mind - if I could've designed my own case, it would've been pretty much that one there.
Thanks again.

Those look great, except, when you answer the phone don't you have the flap in front of your face? With all your money and credit cards in full view? While you're half-blinded and distracted? The phone section should be removeable, perhaps velcro or something (though that would add to the bulk)...

The phone appears to just slide straight out the top of the case, so I don't think it would be too bad for answering calls.
Personally, I'm not really looking to use the phone in the case anyway, it's just for when it's just for when it's in my pocket as I won't have room for a separate case and wallet.

I wanted exactly the same thing as Step666, so I just ordered the E5 Easycase. I'll let you know my impressions when I get it.

Sorry, I meant to reply earlier but life being life, it has a habit of getting in the way.
If you could give us your impressions, that'd be a huge help, thanks.

This thread stirred my curiousity.
I am curious and a little skeptical to see how one could have the same case doubling up as a wallet. My wallet is already hugh, with so many credit cards, bank cards, membership cards, library cards. Then, there are name cards which I receive from time to time which gets in there temporarily. Then the notes, and coins. I usually put my wallet into my back pocket. My phone goes to the right side pocket, so there are never together. My key goes to the left side pocket. So I find it inconceivable to put everything into one case before going into the pocket.
My HD is completely protected with a silicon case, so the paintwork is never exposed, whether I'm using it or not. I would like to keep it looking new for a long long time. If we put the phone in this all in one case, and have to take it off the case when using it, then there is a chance of your sweat and hand rubbing against the paintwork, isn't it? How about the inconvenience factor? Having to take it off the case, and put it back? I can't imagine how one would look using the phone if it is not taken out of the wallet.
Perhaps some photographs from those who have tried out would be interesting.

Have you got it yet? Could you also let us know how it goes with the ordering process - I see they do a lot of colour/material options etc.
With one of these and a BT headset, you wouldn't even need to take the phone out of the case. just carry 2 items around.... bliss!
I'm sorely tempted!

Sure, use the BT headset to check mai, to surf internet, to play the FM radio, to view photograph, to watch videos, to take camera picture, to take videos, to find out info on eWallet, to use the calculator, to use the GPS, to send SMS.....
You must have a very magical bluetooth

I'm still waiting for it...
Regarding the ordering process, they reply the sameday to your order and you can send them a message with all your leather type/color... preferences.
I'll let everyone know, when I get it.

If you don't mind me asking when did you order it?
Just wondering because I'm ok just now carrying the HD round in a jacket pocket when I go to work but I'm taking some time off in March and, left to my own devices, I don't normally wear a jacket.
So, I'm starting to wonder if I should wait and see what you think or if I should just bite the bullet myself...

don't be a daftie! I was referring to someone's concerns up thread about using the phone for calls with the cards showing outwards. obviously a BT headset negates that issue, especially one that displays incomong call numbers,or if you have voice command fully setup.

I ordered it on the 5th and it was shipped on the 13th, they said it would take 6-14 working days to arrive. I've already bought a silicon, a clear plastic and a leather pouch type case to find out which would be better for me. So I guess I didn't think much when I saw this thread . I'm currently using the Noreve pouch, but like you said I'm carrying too much stuff already...

Oh, there is one thing I'd like for you to check for me when you get the case, something which could very well make or break the deal for me.
It's whether or not the wallet part is large enough to comfortably hold a £20 note.
If you're not in the UK though, don't worry about it, I can always try contacting the seller directly.

Seidio InnoCase for HTC Tilt 2 (AT&T) - Not going to happen!

I just spoke to some folks at Seidio today and they notified me that their system has a note that the Tilt 2 for AT&T will never be produced as per their Product Management team.
This is an incredible let-down for myself, and I find it hard to believe that they can't just modify the case currently for the HTC Touch Pro 2 to allow for the PTT key, and sell everyone that case regardless of your service provider.
Anyways, if anyone but myself was waiting on this case,I guess we need to find something else which is a shame.

I was waiting for this case also. I emailed them weeks ago and the return email was on the line that they are in the process of developing products for the tilt 2. So yes, this news is disappointing.

My suggestion, don't spend the extra money for a half-baked case. There are PLENTY of alternatives out there on ebay. I have one and it's wonderful and cost about 1/10 of what any of these "upscale" brands charges.

Sorry, forum was messed up.

Yes, I purchased one of those and it did not come close to fitting my Tilt 2.

For those of us with a Dremel and too much time on our hands, is it possible to mod the Seidio case to a near OEM look. Seems like taking about 3/8 of an inch off the PTT side would be golden. Opinions?

I'm not personally interested in having to pay so much money to "make do".
What I've personally decided to try is the Seidio holster that works with out phone, and a GadgetShieldz full body protection. I was actually really impressed with how this phone looked and didn't want to hide it, so this might be a good compromise.

I use a hard case I found on ebay for about $9. It works wonders, combined with a holster side pouch I bought on the street in NYC for $5. Total $14.
MUCH less than anything Seidio wants to charge.

Just had live chat with Seidio and this is the result.
Angela: hello
Customer74: hello
Customer74: Will you be making the innocase for the tilt 2?
Angela: Yes, we will be, but we don't have an exact ETA yet.
Customer74: Thank you.
Angela: You're very welcome. Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Customer74: Not at this time, thank you.

I had a long chat with them within a day of the original post and they emphatically stated that they were not making it. Who knows....

methinks they're messing with you.

I spoke with them on the phone today (as apposed to the chat like last time) and they again told me that it was not going to be released. I was unable to get any more details.
By the time they get around to making it, it will be like wanting to buy a case for the original tilt - there will be another phone out all off us are moving to =P

I am afraid you are right.

I just applied the GadgetShield a few hours ago and it's already looking great!
Going to wait until tomorrow to try placing it into the case - after feeling the new rubbery skin of the phone (which looks great) I'm not sure it will work together.

When I talked to them in early Dec, they told me at the end of Dec. :-(

Is it possible to use the Touch Pro II case and let it just cover up the other button?
I saw the post regarding modification, just wondering if its possible to ignore the button all together.

I had this case for my original tilt and hated it.
Going with a full phone gadget shield and then a slide-leather case.
the bulkiness of the innocase is just too much for me.

Seido Innocase and Holster, Please help request this item.

Seeming how the Amzer cases have been a no show, I'd like to request the XDA communities help in getting the Innocase and Holster made for the MT3GS.
I had this setup on my G1, and loved it to death. The holsters are made to fit the phone without the case, and one WITH the case. It holds your screen IN, so it is completely protected.
http://www.seidioonline.com/
They even now make them with colors.
I can also say one of the nice things about them (I KNOW they are not cheap), is that they are also lined on the inside to protect the phone from getting scratched up from the raw plastic getting dusty and the like.
I've asked them if they are making one, and they said that as of now they are not. But if we all request it, we can get it done I'm sure.
So please, if you have a chance, go request this to be made for us like we did with Otterbox. SOMEONE will make one...
Thanks!

Anyone contact them?

I had requested and received a reply of were not making them right now. I really hope they do had this for my blackberry and loved it. The lack of cases and skins is really irritating.

Thanks!
I have to agree, this was the best case ever for my G1.
I went to the T-Mobile store today and they have the black gel cases in. They fit very well, and were just super comfortable all around.
Unfortunately there is no place for me to hold the thing like that. I'm using the T-Mobile Holster right now, which is frigging great, but it doesn't protect the phone if the holster falls, or when the phone is in your hand. And the gel cases are thick enough they don't fit in the holster either.
Ugh.

Just contacted them waiting for a response.

I opened up a chat window asking for the chat operator to pass it along that this is one of Tmo's most popular phones right now and there is a big demand for cases on this phone. Also, be sure to click on the "feedback" button on the left side of the page (FAR left all the way on the left border of your browser) and do a search for the MyTouch Slide "idea" and let them know you are interested.

Done. Blah blah.

Bump for a much wanted case!

Bump! Really want an Innocase. Has anyone also use their Innocells? The battery life, even with management, is pretty bad on the slide. I'd like one of those too.

My battery life is fantastic, lasts the full day without plugging it in, with pretty heavy usage.

Steven C.: Well, the development for the device is huge, and the fact that there is such a lack of GOOD cases for it seems it may be something management may want to look into thats a pretty big demographic

I emailed them telling em here at xda we want a CASE

Count me as another request. I also had a few friends dive in there and request also. They had the same complaint I did.

Tell them their competitor Otterbox is making one lol.

I just put in another request and did say that Otterbox was making one, but I would much rather buy from them, but if they aren't going to make one then I will be forced to buy from Otterbox.

[Q] cases , head phones,

Anyone find any cases yet??
What do you think about the head phones??

Ive been using a Seidio belt pouch that I bought for my Touch Pro 2 a year ago and it fits it perfectly. I also just bought the REALOOK screen protector from amazon but im expecting to get that within a few days. Ill let you know if its worth getting or not, but the general consensus with that brand on other phones is its invisible, perfect fit, maintains the smooth glass feel of the screen.

Thanks Man!!

i have been searching for weeks.. to no avail.. i mean.. i've found a few that MAY work.. but my phone is on the way now .. soooo.. long story short.. best case i could find.. for myself was .. where other than the AT&T accessories page.. right where i should have started here s a link...or not.. thank you spammers.. anyway.. should be easy enough to find

I placed my order last night for the Invisible Shield maximum protection package. It ended up costing about 27 bucks shipped, but I've heard nothing but good things about this setup. I'll let you all know when it comes in.

OLD School and New School
I've actually been using the case from my 8125 for my past three phones (Tilt, Tilt2, and now Surround). It's a little tight on the long axis, but that's not the end of the world. I had wanted a new one; but the only one I found was $35 and I'm not willing to shell out that kind of money.
Regarding headphones, this is the first phone where I get over 95% reliability on my Bluetooth S9s, and given how uncomfortable the stock ones are I'm willing to live with a couple of skips.

Hard Case
Hi guys...
I bought this Hard Case on ebay. It feel nice on the phone.

Invisashield
Just got the surround yesterday and had the girl at Best Buy put the invisashield on. I don't normally like screen protectors as it takes away the sensitivity, but I don't even notice that this one is on. It gets a high rating in my book, not to mention that if anything goes wrong with it, it's replaced.

Anyone ever try a FlyGrip?

This is probably one of the best accessories that I could ever want. It works with any phone with any case as long as the case doesn't already have a kickstand. It also works without a case right on the back of your phone if you trust that your battery back cover won't come off.
Kinda pricy at 30 dollars but considering it's reusable and new sticky adhesives are dirt cheap, it's a steal! Also doubles as a portrait and landscape kickstand... Aways turns heads everywhere I go.

I used one on my S3 loved it... But Im still debating on using it on this beast..... (be sure you size it right)

Never heard of this before, but it looks awesome. I always use this beast one handed and have been fearing the moment I eventually drop it. Unfortunately I can't justify spending $30 for just the flygrip (maybe if they actually had the note 3 case with it), but it did give me an idea. I might just sow (I refers to gf) some elastic cloth loops on some velcro and have the fuzzy velcro end on my case. That way I can take it off if I want, and if I'm using cloth loops it won't be in the way pocketing it. No kickstand though but it might just have to do till the price drops or they get a case for the n3. OOOh and I could stick some prickly velcro on my car-- no need to buy a mount.. Project time!
Edit: Sleep deprivation makes me overly ambitious, will probably just buy a bunker ring (amazon). Under $5 including shipping, might as well give it a try. Phone won't lay flat though.... that might bother the crap out of me.

I would like to try one, but Made in USA or not, the Flygrip should retail for $15 on the HIGH end.
$30 bucks is absolutely outrageous.

i agree about the price, looks really awesome though

Anyone own this and a Bunker Ring? I bought the cheap bunker ring and liked it so much I then bought the real one. I like how the Bunker Ring can spin to any angle so I am hesitant to purchase the Flygrip. I'd love to hear some feedback from someone who has both.

I got the medium to large one. My hands are shorter, but I have bear claws.
I'll do a review when it gets in. With pictures and all.
Medium to large fly grip with the note 3 carbon fiber case. EXCITED TO SAY THE LEAST~
Got the email says it shipped
:cyclops:

I have one on my Note 3 - I actually put it on before I left the store. I've been using them for a year or two now, so fire away with any questions.
Note - in a different forum post, there is concern that the leather on the Note 3 is causing a sticky problem that they (the Flygrip people) are looking into. I think they were suggesting putting the grip on a slim case.
However, I use the Flygrip on a naked device & haven't had any sticky problems at all - it's like it's welded on.
About the only negative about it - it can interfere with some car mounts.

do you find that it gets annoying when sitting on a table? I like to place my note down when sketching or writing notes with the s pen. Also how's it in the pocket? Get caught or bulge much?

I always put it face up on the table & the Flygrip stays flat - you can even spin it in place if you'd like.
I tend not to use the pen nearly enough, but writing or sketching while on a table would not work unless you held it flat with the other hand - otherwise it would rock to much.
No problems in the pocket, but I wear loose pants. I am waiting for delivery: Seidio Spring Holster for Naked Phones Not sure if I'll like it more then just carrying in pocket, but giving it a shot.

Since I am a frequent user of XDA forums for my phone information, I came across this thread. Very happy to hear about discussion about my product and people sharing their experiences.
I wanted to provide some info for those who had some questions.
In response to using Flygrip when using the S-Pen:
You can use flygrip on the table with a slight angle as shown in this video:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=50f3YGRB1YQ
This video shows how to give you a better angle for writing than just using it flat on the tablet.
Another comment earlier in the forum mentioned by "babyshanks" stating that we do not provide a case for note 3. That is incorrect, we do provide a case for the note 3 with each purchase. It is on the drop down list.
I wanted to remind everyone that Flygrip is a one time purchase. Unlike case manufacturers who require you to purchase a new case each time you upgrade your phone, Flygrip can be reused for future phones and/or tablets if they want for years to come. We offer a 60 day money back guarantee, so if anyone wants to try it out for themselves and decide if it is for you. You have 2 months to make your decision (and if you are a little late thats fine too, we are here to provide a product that we feel is super useful).
Any questions feel free to email us at [email protected] and please check out the youtube channel as many of your questions are already answered on the channel FLYGRIPINC
thanks
Michael

That changes things slightly, but wasn't there when I looked the other day. It'd be nice if you guys actually posted pictures of the cases you have on the phones. The addition of a case is a big factor for some people such as myself who don't want to just buy a $30 gripper/kickstand

Flygrip offers a year warranty and we have always serviced anyone who has had any issue even if it has been past a year.
What is your order # or email address? We would definitely warranty your Flygrip is something broke.

I love my FlyGrip. I have taken them up on the size swaps and warranty, and always received excellent service. This one is on it's third phone, just peel off and stick to the new one with a fresh sticker. Easy as can be.
I find it difficult to believe that the bunker ring could be half as comfortable as my FlyGrip. But to each their own. The kickstand feature works well even on a note, though better for landscape mode. I think it would be better in portrait if I moved it a little, but I like this location for holding it and that's more useful for me.

I haven't tried the gravity version but on the older two you are able to flip it and reverse and lay it on the table like the previous poster show with the video, but what that video doesn't show is that you could actually connect the kickstand and it will lay at a suitable angle in reverse portrait!
Just don't put too much pressure...but should be fine for note taking!
Flygrip is amazing...and their customer service is even better.

You are correct. We are planning to highlight the cases we offer in a new way in the next few weeks. We will be offering many options on the most popular phones. In the meantime, our YouTube channel (video blog) shows some of the latest cases, installs, and many of the useful benefits of Flygrips. Please check that out when you get a chance and subscribe, as in the next 2 weeks there will be another Flygrip option being launched and you can be up to date on the new stuff coming out.
I see many times in the forums that the questions and comments being made are already answered both on the Flygrip website as well as on the YouTube channel http://www.youtube.com/flygripinc
Anyone that is a power user, should really take a closer look at Flygrip as it was developed with my own needs in mind:
1. First and most important for me, to Navigate the entire screen with one hand. For those who are busy and on the go can appreciate this.
2. Fingertips hold your phone in place, which gives your thumb the most reach while giving your hand/wrist the correct ergonomics when holding the phone. No more balancing your phone on your pinky and contorting your hand/fingers to click the screen.
3. Using two hands, one to hold the phone and one to poke at it is just not conducive to being productive..at least for me.
3. Flygrip obviously helps you not drop your phone, but the real idea behind it was to provide the one handed ability, which in return provides real world multitasking. Most people seem to drop their phone when trying to operate it with one hand OR when they are trying to do something else while holding their phone and it ends up falling out of their hands.
4. Ability to quickly get your phone out of your pocket, open the Flygrip, and into your hands, within seconds. You do not need two hands to get your phone out of your pocket, open the Flygrip, get your fingers in.. this all can be done all with one hand..quickly.. This is huge for those who need to answer quick texts, emails, take quick photos, etc.. and put phone back into your pocket. I demo this is most of the videos.
5. The portrait and landscape kickstand feature is a great addition. Both orientations is sort of unique, since most kickstands only work in one direction.
6. Taking photos and videos is much easier with Flygrip and more stable with one hand then with two. Trying to grab the edges of the phone and tapping the screen to snap your photo is not the most ergonomic way to shoot photos. Flygrip also helps with taking pictures and videos at more difficult angles (over someone's head, around a corner, etc. This can not be done with two hands as easily.
7. And most of all, when laying in bed, your phone wont drop on your head (We hear that a lot at the tradeshows that we have gone to)
These are just a few benefits that came to mind.
Unfortunately the best way to learn the benefits is to actually try it. We always ask the retailers who sell Flygrip to demo it as it is the only way to really understand the benefits and comfort. Online videos are the only other way to demonstrate Flygrip, but not as good as first hand demonstrations. That is why we offer a 60 day money back guarantee, this gives everyone a chance to try it out and give it a fair shake and decide for themselves without any risk.
I appreciate all the comments and suggestions, as I use this information to improve.
Thanks for listening. And thank all of you that have supported Flygrip and have spread the word.
Again, always remember if you have any concerns, questions or comments, you can email us at [email protected] for faster response. Most emails during the day M-F are answered within 30 minutes.

I might be paying a premium price. But I enjoy a company that will come on a forum like this and offer support. Mine should be in any day like. I am too damn excited
I work a **** ton and phone use can get minimal. So, my phone is bare naked (besides with bodyguardz pure) and I want something that is not bulky, but I feel like I can get in and out my pocket fast. And based off the videos seems it should. I'll make a little video review of mine. Gotta try out my 4k Video anyway.
Then i'll make a response in a week once I got heavy use to it to see how I have picked up the in and out.

I also thought to purchase this flygrip case for my S4 but as per some bad reviews by my friends over it, I bought this kick stand case...it was less pricey and more genuine too...as most of my friends just got this flygrip broken within a month but the kick stand I purchased is still working very fine...so I would say..I do not have good reviews over this Flygrip case
