Since I got it, I have been afraid of loosing the $80 stylus. So instead of learning how to use it, I've just been leaving it at home. I finally found a reasonably secure way to take it with me.
The cap from a PaperMate Flair pen is a perfectly snug fit on either end of the stylus that does not cover or intefere with the buttons. The only fault i can find is if I am not careful, twisting it off can loosen the threads on the battery cover.
I had to pay 6 bucks (at Staples) for a 4 pack of pens that I will never use just to get one cap. But it was $6 well spent.
I actually found the Expo Vis-a-Vis wet erase cap to work pretty well, also. Doesn't look so bad...doesn't look "good" either, though.
Pics please?

Sorry, didn't see your request until just now.
With the pics I see what you mean now, not a bad idea. That would clip onto just about any case. Think I'll give this a shot.
This actually is a big issue and a flaw. Anyone else got any creative ideas.
I just took a few pictures of the EVO View's pen with the Flair pen cap.
They are sitting on a M-Edge pouch for a Nook Color. I picked-up a $6 tool pouch from Home Depot. A shoe repair shop sewed it's belt clip on the M-Edge pouch. Note the pen fits nicely in the zippered pocket that hides the pouch's carrying strap.

that's what i've been looking for. what did you buy? I saw some pencil clips on amazon, but wasn't sure which one would fit.
Yeah that looks nice, if only I could find my stylus now.
THAT'S what I've been looking for! It takes a lot to find the right size. Where did you find the clip?

yes very secure ... don't worry as i said i need to enlarge it slightly so that i can force it into position.
I pulled the clip off a 99 cent air pressure gauge. Slips on tight and it was dirt cheap.

My Soution
My solution came from a free Gas Co pen that never worked but never got trashed. had to destroy the pen and file the inside of the ring so as to not damage the battery cap threads.

I say it sure looks nice. If it is silicon inside and aluminum outside, should provide a lot of protection. Might add a good amount of weight.
Never know when it comes to these eBay third party cases.

That does look like a pretty sweet case. I especially noticed how, considering it's a cheap ebay case, the camera holes seem perfectly centered. On my $50 Defender the camera holes are slightly off center, makes me wonder what Otterbox's profit margin is (think Monster Cable). It does look nice and has some nice extras. One thing that concerns me is that it seems (through my past experience) that 2 piece hard plastic cases tend to come off the phone as soon as it hits the ground. I know the back is metal but the metal is attached to a hard plastic shell correct? Does it seem like it might come off easy? Just concerned because I had a hard plastic case on my OG EVO and the one time I dropped it the case popped right off and my EVO went skidding across the ground. Just hate to spend the money on a product that fails at the exact time you need it to do it's job.

The aluminum is adhered to what I believe is acrylic so that It's one piece. Its a snap on case. It fits tight. I'm not sure how easy its going to be to take on and off to swap batteries.

just bought from ahkin. you should get referrals. hit the thanks button instead.
So I purchased this case from eBay, for $8.88 Shipped out of NY. Took 3 days to get to my house. I am VERY pleased with the build and design of the case. (Pics Below); The phone is housed in a plastic shell that snaps together firmly around the phone then a rubber shield encases that.

I second it (had for for SGSII as well), works both ways fine
Can someone who has this case post a pic of the case and the phone separate on a side view? I'd like to see how thick it makes the phone.
How possible would it be for some one/company to make a case for the Droid DNA with an SD card slot? It mean, theoretically it sounds possible, and of course it'd add some size and weight to the phone but IMO it'd be worth it. I got the idea from when I randomly tried a flash with with the OTG cable and it came up as USB storage. So maybe like, the case would go into the charger port of the DNA, and have an SD card slot built into the case which would come up as USB storage on the phone...It sounds like it could work to me, but, would charging work? I dunno, I'm just dumbfounded on why no company has tried this yet.
I had the same idea a while back. It could totally work aside from the fact you couldn't charge it. Unless there was also a charging port on the case. But basically no one would make it because there wouldn't be enough demand. I could see someone making some sort of universal product made in a way that it would lie flat against the phone in whatever case you use. Basically a microsd attached to a thin flat ribbon cable or something.

It could work, but it would cost a decent amount, and would add a decent amount of bulk to this already large phone.

Yeah I figured that, not so much the costly part, but add a decent amount of bulk, I probably wouldn't have a problem with it aside from the fact that it probably wouldn't fit inside my Moga Pro lol
I'm tempted to diy this. I wonder of there's a otg cable thin enough to do what I want.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using Tapatalk 2
There was a kickstarter a while back for a very small doggle that does this. What I was thinking was making a 3D printed case with the SD located in the back of the phone. You would remove the case to change SD cards, and there would be a passthrough for USB charging and data access.

The bulk would not be to thick. Look at the ipeel. It's for sim cards but that's a good idea of thickness and design

I'd imagine it would need some soldering skills or something. I'm pretty sure you can get an OTG cable thin enough just by stripping the rubber off of the cable, and removing the plastic casing around the Micro USB connector, but for the other side, wouldn't it require you to take a tiny MicroSD to USB adapter, remove the USB connector on the other end, remove the USB port off of the stripped OTG cable, and then solder the wires together? After doing that, maybe have it sit flat against a DNA case?
Something like this http://www.kickstarter.com/projects/andyfei/mini-microsd-reader-for-android-smartphones-and-ta without the casing and a flat ribbon connection. The biggest part would be the at the phone connector, it would most likely need some custom one made for it as I'm not seeing any off the shelf option.

If those were commercially available, I could see someone possibly making a case for it that has a little square input on the bottom of the case to hide the reader itself, because so far it looks like one little bad touch would probably break the entire reader. Sorta something like this https://s3.amazonaws.com/ksr/projects/156190/posts/470238/image-250940-full.jpg?1367529002 with the reader going in on the bottom.

I honestly think I could design something that would be no larger than an Otterbox. With this case installed, charging would be handled inductively. Could even have a full sized SD card slot if you wanted it to.

Seems to work okay with the GS4. I'm sure a small built-in microUSB hub could also handle the charging problem.
My main point is that if you included it in a case the size of an Otterbox Defender, it wouldn't add much bulk beyond what the Otterbox already adds.

I have a Glacier Otterbox Defender, my only gripe with it is the crappy screen protector I had to punch out so I could use my invisible shield. That and it won't fit the best in my Moga Pro anymore, it still fits, just can't have it faced down or anything like that. Anyways, let's say you do make these gifts from god, do you think you'd sell them or make a tutorial or anything like that?

Sadly, i'm not creative enough to actually design something like this. It just seems feasible given the size of the Otterbox and the amount of room there would be to work with.
Hell, they make iPhone cases with an extra battery built-in. A small usb hub/card reader would take up less room than a battery.
EDIT: By the way, I agree - I absolutely HATE the built-in screen protector. It protects, but at the expense of 90% of the sensitivity.
Anyone seen one? Want something relatively thin just to protect the edges. All the cases you seem to find are folio style or OTT protection.
There isn't much available for this tablet. Unfortunately, It's mostly cheap folio cases. The only others I've seen were the Poetic cases.
Yeah pretty slim pickings Even looked at 3D printing a case.

Yes, yes, we are waiting for news! As soon will be available to buy 2 pieces!
If anyone decides to do this, I'd be in for 4!
I'll take one if they're good! I would love for there to be more options like hybrid phone cases. I have a poetic and hate it. I cut the rubber off the button area because the power button just wasn't registering when I pushed it. And the usb port cover kept popping out so I cut that off too lol.. And the screen protector is so wavy and distracting that I took that out. I've got a tempered glass protector, which is so much better. I tried a cheap flip case but when it's folded behind its so annoying. Why don't they make them with magnets to hold them in place?
