Maybe its me but it seems the magnets don't agree with phone at all , plays havoc with screen unlocks when attached to it and all sorts.
Would the magnetic in the mount interfere/degrade the phone's battery?
I have a similar mount. If the magnet gets too close to the power/volume buttons it puts the screen to sleep. There must be a sensor there for a smart cover.
Not sure about effect on battery. I'm considering switching away from the magnetic holders, simply because I hate having to hide a piece of metal under the case, and thusly can't use my clear Ringke Fusion case.

The magnet sensor of the N6 is behind the M-logo. A magnet at that location (front or back) swithes off the screen.
My solution is to use silicon case and a metal plate fixed at this case with superglue. Positioned below the M-logo. About 1 cm.
Check it by keeping the magnet below the M-logo untill the screen stays on.
Because the back of the N6 is not flat, the metal plate must be rather large and firmly fixed (pressure a few hours).
This way of mounting does not affect the battery life, but when using wireless charging, the case with the metal must be removed.
That's why I use a silicon case. Easy to remove.

Hello,
I'm looking for something like this case

It has 2 parts ... one is kind of "cradle" and has clip and other is like a protective shell which you can "slip" into that cradle. I really like that design and the fact that you can "slip" your "shell" into "cradle" in 2 ways - screen facing outside (for better view) and screen facing inside (for more protection).
"Cradle" also has rotating belt-clip.
Unfortunately, when I ordered that case it had quality problem ... belt-clip is attached to "cradle" by PLASTIC connector, which breaks easily. So I'm in process of returning it.
But ... I REALLY like the design. Can somebody recommend me something like that but better quality ?
Hi bogdatov
I have the same case by Kroo. I like it alot...but do wish I could find something that works the same but more stylish like the cases on more-things.com. I'm going back and forth on rather I want to carry the phone on my belt or in pocket. Had mine for about 3 months now. No problem with belt clip but the leather on the corners of the snap-on case that rubs against the holster are fraying on all sides. Also inside "suede" covering in holster is peeling off. Use to have the ORBIT FLEX by Krussel. Pros and cons to each. Good luck!
How is slipping "shell" into "cradle" ? Mine seems to be pain to remove and insert - too tight
Slipping shell into the cradle with the screen facing in or protected works fine for me now. When I first got it, it took a while for it to "loosen up". I only have difficulty slipping the shell into the cradle if I try to slip it in with the screen facing out or unprotected. I also notice that the shell is not as "tactile" or "sticky" as it used to be. I find myself being more careful I don't drop it now-a-days.
I was looking for a reasonably priced case that I could quickly remove the tablet from and could act as a stand for watching videos on the plane/train.
This ticks most of the boxes. See pictures below:

Easy access to ports
Charging port is fully accessible
When in full profile stand the tablet doesn't rotate (as it is effectively upside down).
As you can see it is really easy to open the top and grab the tablet
Pros
- Decent price (£30 in the UK)
- All ports seem accessible (there is a whole for the the IR but I have not tested)
- Very easy to get the tablet in/out, probably about 5 seconds
- No need to use Velcro strips
- Magnetic closure
Cons
- A little bulky
- Can only use as a stand if in the low profile setting when set as a full stand it looks great but the tablet is effectively upside down and apps don't rotate.
Thanks for the review! I'm still waiting on a case I can use my dock with...
I recommend luvtab from amazon. Better i.e. not upside-down stand, cheaper, cutout for infrared larger, front camera cutout includes light sensor.

I've got a case from ebay -$15.99.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120834628304?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
There is no hole for IR but if you have a scissors it is not a problem.
Other than that, pretty good. Protects the tab and works as a stand in 3 positions.
I try to get case but couldnt decide yet.Can you guys post photo of your phone with case here please?
Thanks

I've just got the Roxfit Slimline Book Case from Amazon today, alas, no phone as yet! Its cheaper than the official Sony case, I paid £13.50, but is well made with a quality feel to it. Obviously I cant comment on fit or durability but Ive always had my phones in cases and this is one of the more premium feeling cases ive owned. Well worth the money based on its build quality.
Inside the front cover the material has a soft rubbery feel that grips onto the screen whilst closed to stop it moving around (roughly tested with my iphone 5 in the housing). The back of the case also folds away, similar to the official case so the phone can be placed in the charging dock. The outer material is similar to the apple iPad cover. The clear plastic shell that holds the phone has a thin foam layer in to absorb any shock and prevent any scratches on the rear glass panel.
I've still got a week wait for my phone before I can test it thoroughly.

Supported portrait position
Supported landscape position (back)
The case closed
The case opened
The case fits 100%, but it may be a bit tight if you don't remove the back protector on the tablet.
It supports on-off mode (turns on the screen when opened and it turns off the screen when closed).
The only thing I am not happy is there's no anti-slip corners.
Hi, I just ordered one and I'm interested in the magnets in the cover.
Some reviewers say that they aren't very secure and if the case is faced down the screen cover just drops.
I heard the case is a bit on the heavy side, but it seems pretty well made, I'm hoping the weight isn't that noticeable
Also, is the MicroSD slot covered?
Thanks, the information would be appreciated.

The cover stays well, and the micro SD cover reveals as pic 4.
i was thinking of buying one but i was affraid the cover gets old very fast as it shows on the 3rd pictures. it get a lot of wrinkles on the "Y"
Just dropped my phone flat down on a hard surface.
Only micro cracks on the screen, but it remains black. Buttons are still working,.
I noticed when I light turn it off and on that there is a tiny flash of light happening for a mirco second, and was wondering if the shock may have slightly disconnected the screen.
Do you reckon that would be possible and if so, should i just open it to verify everything is well plugged / connected inside? Won't hold you responsible if I end up breaking it

It may be a loose connector.
You already know the display needs replaced.
Any high G impact can damage the mobo even cause internal damage to chipsets.
You'll need to go one step at a time.
If you start replacing components use/observe full ESD protocols to avoid damaging discreet components assemblies including the mobo.
When out of circuit the assemblies are more susceptible to static discharge than when in circuit fully assembled.
In the future use a good case with raised screen guards like the Zizo Bolt to prevent this.
can it work to only change the screen

If that's all that's damaged. Watch some tear down vids first. Have all the tools you'll need and some anhydrous isopropyl alcohol to help loosen the adhesive seal strips on the rear cover and battery.
