Hello,
since today i have for my TYTN the Seidio 3200mAH Battery in use.
But, its a brick (but I love it) and I need a case for it
Do you have tips for an leather case (pouch oder others) you fits the brick.
I tested the Seido Leather Case, hard way to take the phone out of the the case....
Thanks!!!

Friend, you are in the situation i didn't want to be in. I was going to buy one of those battery types. Best advice is to go for a silicon one piece case from ebay. read my review. And put your other default battery back in the phone. Just use the bigger battery in emergencies.
I have yet to find a decent case that would fit the Hermes when its got the backpack on it like the one you are using. I spent weeks searching online for various cases too. You may get lucky. It may pay you to email someone like MK on ebay who make their own cases I think. I can't see it costing a great deal for them to put a case together that would fit your phone. They may tell you to wait until they get enough people wanting a larger form fit but its worth a try.
there could be a solution a DYI solution that is... and that would req to get a case to start with that is not for the hermes... BUT is the same exact width and height the depth to be the right side of battery...
now you would have to come up with some foam type or other material that you cut out exactly the shape to fit the extended battery case... and then cover it with some fabric and there you go... custom fit case for the extended battery
hey you could even find a material that is very light weight and would match without having to have a fabric material over and simply glue it on heh
Hey all, i just bought a new case and clear screen cover for my HD from PDair.com, had never heard of them before so took a risk but sure enough with free shipping it turned up and Im delighted with it - would definitely recommend!!

Did you by any chance took also original PDair car mount ? I'm interested for this combination so I'm curious what are other people opinions ...
I'm also curious which you've bought.
Do you have any pictures?
Yeah can you let us know which case you got? I am interested in those silicone cases as I bought a silicone case for my Iphone and loved it.
dont worry i order from them before for my nokia e71
You can find it at the link below. Fits perfectly and the leather smells great (odd thing to say i know but important for leather!). I chose the one without the belt clip as i didnt want the bulk but you can get it with as well. Screen cover is great and washable!

I have the Book Style case (http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000495&products_id=12403) and it's awful - there are two clips which are meant to secure the phone, but it slides out and there's noting to stop it dropping out of the case completely.
Ok so I took the plunge and ordered a "G" to replace my iPad... I know I'll be needing a SD card (obviously) and am wondering what brand and class the majority of you use. I'll be using mine for storing videos and music... possibly running a few apps off too. Anyone have any really cool cases they have found and would like to suggest? Any tips and or links would be greatly appreciated.

A nice case Amazon link here
Screen protector and rear skin Skinomi link here
Case with keyboard eBay link here

These are all great. A few alternates:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004JF9N1O/ref=oss_product - Same case with keyboard listed above, for about the same price, but through amazon. Also ships incredibly quickly (I got mine in 2 days from the date of purchase).
http://www.gotshadeonline.com/products-page/tablets/viewsonic-g-tablet/ - A much cheaper version of the carbon fiber vinyl back covers from Skinomi...also, made by an XDA member!
I would recommend going to a craft store and getting a dish stand. I got a wooden one that folds and it workz great for holding the tablet. Plus it under 9 dollars
Great list, I appreciate it... have any of you used that keyboard case? How is it on the battery? I would think that it would really shorten its life, but then again I know bluetoon really hits the iPads and my current android phone too. So maybe this would be better. What are your thoughts?

I have everything on the list I provided except for the Malata case. This usb keyboard case does the job. When you get it you may have to move the left tab down or remove it completely as it may block access to the usb port on your gTab. Some users have said that if you tell the seller you need the one for the gTab they may send you a case that already has the left tab moved down.
With that said, these cases shouts "CHEAP". It is made of shiny plastic pleather. The keyboard is also not coated with silicone so it can rub against the screen of your gTab and damage it. Finally, the case doesn't feel secure. It feels like the tablet is moving around a lot. Some users have added velcro to their gTabs and the case to hold it more securely. It does come in handy when you need to type a lot. It doesn't seem to draw the battery much at all.
As for wireless keyboards, some users have had success with wireless bluetooth and usb keyboards especially the ones that use a dongle plugged into the usb port.
I was wondering if any has come across a leather "smart-sleeve" for the Z3? I don't think the term really exists so let me explain.
I don't really like cases, but I don't really like a damaged phone either. The compromise for me would be a leather sleeve type of thing - like this random one: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Lea...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item4627d52959
But having to take out the phone just to check the time or see who is in fact calling would greatly decrease the protectiveness of said sleeve. So I thought a "smart-sleeve" with cutouts for the mic and speaker along with the window from a smart-case would be the perfect solution.
I haven't been able to locate any of this sort though and I don't believe my sewing skills are up for the task
Would you think there would be a market for this type of deal (And feel free to snatch the idea btw) or am I the only one thinking this could be practical?

Regarding what you mentioned; this is the best way to enjoy your device and guarding it at the same time. I've been using leather pouches since a long time throughout all the phones I've bought and been enjoying it. I use the tpu back cover case when going to the gym or with any outdoor activities.

Yup but yet they are unpractical as I need to take it out of the sleeve when the phone rings - and the risk of me dropping it when I do that is unappealing. That's why I wanted a quick window in it

Surely the official case is ideal for what you describe?

No that is a flip or book case - not a pouch. I've had one of those for my G2 and didn't like it at all - the "door" is in the way most of the time
//M
Oh I see. So you want a pouch like the one sevoflurane suggested but that has cut outs so you rarely need to remove it?
I think, as you say, you'll struggle to find anything like that. The official book case is the only one I know that has the smart window anyway. I think you'd need to make something yourself.
Perhaps buy the official flip case and a leather pouch. Cut the front off the flip case and cut aligned holes in the pouch. Glue the case front to the inside of the pouch. You'd have to make sure you know how the flip case triggers the smart window on the phone so you don't accidentally remove it.
Don't know how handy you are but it might be tricky to make that not look terrible!
Another option is a smart watch. I have a Pebble which is perfect. Obviously has the time (it's a watch!) but also shows me notifications and stuff without even taking my phone out of my pocket. I can even see who is calling and dismiss the call if I don't want to answer it. Pebbles are pretty reasonably priced too and can do a lot of other funky stuff.

Yup exactly what I wanted
For the window the trigger most probably is a small magnet (at least it is on my G2), that shouldn't be much of a problem fitting in a pouch. As for a DIY kinda deal I think i might need to look for somebody else as my sewing abilities lack a lot to be desired :silly:
I've been on the smartwatch route for quite somme time, but has decided to go with a fitness tracker instead (Basis B1), it actually provides me with something on top of my phone, which a smart watch does not. But it is a good idea though
//M
Smart watches have fitness features. Pebble has had a recent update and there are a few excellent step counters, swimming counters etc but I'm not gonna try and sell you smart watches.
If you are careful, you could probably customise a pouch without needed to do any sewing. You only need to cut it in the right places and you wouldn't need to cut through any existing stitching. If you bought a couple of cheap pouches you could experiment with the cutting before you spend too much money.
Another thought, you might be able to use NFC to trigger the smart screen so then you could just stick one of those in the back of the pouch.

Not to derail completely - but no other fitness tracker can keep up with the Basis in terms of features (Heart rate monitor to name one). But on the positive side they have announced an upgrade which has smartwatch capabilities
I guess I need to find myslef a few cheap pouches for the purpose of experimentinga bit. Good idea on the NFC - at least if Sony is more open to their smart-window than LG is

If you do go for this, or find a case that suits, please update this thread. I'll be interested to see your solution.

Sure - I've ordered a rather cheap one from eBay, should arrive next week: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Yousave-A.../390946403503?ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:US:3160
I'll see if I can mod it to my needs :silly:
If it is working out, I'll do it with a more premium leather case

Thanks!

Actually there was this German dealer on ebay whom I used to get these covers from. But unfortunately this dealer is not available anymore, suddenly disappeared, dunno why.

No worries, thanks - I found something similar on eBay from a German dealer, so will see what thats like when it arrives. Appreciate the replay, thanks again!
Just received the case I ordered from eBay - what a crappy piece of junk. It's by no mean made for the Z3, I've send the seller an email but wont probably do me much good
Anyway if anybody could help figure out where the magnet to detect when the door is closed it would be cool - my tries have lead me nowhere so far

Hello guys
I have recurring problem with the Folio Case for our Edge 30 Pro.
I'm talking about fabric case from Motorola, with Folio windows for AOD option, and stylus + stylus back pocket for wireless charging it.
I use Moto since May 2022. Until now, I have second Folio Case, given by my seller. Both of them have same issue, cracking corners and loose holding to Phone themself.
In this case, I want to ask you:
[1] Do you use your Motorola Folio Cases?
[2] If yes, do you recognize same or similar issue to mine?
Actually I have Open discussion with Motorola/Lenovo Europe about guaranty process by "factory defect" or "material defect in product". See, what will I can do.
Please, share your Xperience
Best regards for best comunnity

Hello!
Yes, same issue here. I reached the Lenovo/Moto support and they refunded me.
Then I purchased a new one, and I'm extra careful with it. I never extract the device from it, since I guess the corners crack when removing/inserting the device multiple times.
Would be nice to find a 3rd party folio case with a Stylus holder!
BTW, did you notice a slow wireless charging with the Folio case, or is it just my impression?
Thanks!

Hi @dielle27
Thanks for you reply. Actually I can't get refund, becuase My Edge 30 Pro was sold me in one-pack, as one position in invoice. Well, in this case, refund amount is undetermined. Bad
I want to buy a new one so much... but, in my country, Folio Case isn't able to separate Sale.
Anyway, I don't know if this solution will help, because I was very careful with actual 2st. of Folio cases, and it crack happened. I never extract Edge from case too, without serious reason, only once when I change Case to a new one.
And you have absolutely right, there should be 3rd party option to buy other case with a Stylus holder, maybe made from other, more elastic material, not that hard as a original one.
PS. I can't tell you anything about slow wireless charging, becuase I only use wire charging. Only my Moto Stylus use wireless charging while in holder, of course
Best regards and thank you for reply @dielle27
Take Care

Same here. Got my phone and folio two weeks ago, now three corner are cracked, from using the phone lightly around the house. I got the phone and case directly from Lenovo Sweden, trying to get hold of them to resolve this.
In Australia I can't find the folio case anywhere.
Quick update.
After tons of email and light-years of discussion with my local district of Motorola, and escalate this to father-company, Lenovo, I get warranty ticket month ago, send my full damaged and useless Folio case to company, and yesterday, without any announce, I get new, shiny and tasty Folio Case for Edge 30 Pro!
Corners seems a little thicker, but I'll see how long it hold in one piece this time. Wish me years, this time
