I've owned a slew of Samsung tablets over the years and Samsung has uniformly released overpriced, horribly built cases for their tablets.
The Tab Pro 8.4 case on the other hand is actually a premium quality case. It compares well to my Apple original Mini Retina case except it is much slimmer/lighter (a good thing). An actual leather finish, and a precise fit.
Not cheap but oh so awesome :good:
i like it too and came free with my 10.1 purchase at BB
Just so expensive!!

What is the model number for this case? Where did you purchase it from?

I bought it, and I'm returning it back! The case doesn't protect the tablet as it should: the right side of the tablet stays very exposed (looks like it doesn't cover the whole device), and it's not magnetic to keep it closed - iPad cases are magnetic as well the Poetic case I bought for my Nexus 7 2013 edition. By the way, that Poetic case is very well made, and provides a very good protection to the device. I'm returning the Samsung book case and I'll buy a Poetic for my 8.4.
I'd read some Amazon reviews on the Poetic case. There are claims that the magnets impact the screen negatively. I had an Asuxtek case very similar to the Poetic and found it very bulky.
Also the Apply original case for the Mini does have a slight magnetic grip to keep it closed but is minimal at best.
I read it too today, and for sure it is a real concern. However, it seems to only affect the Note 8, but of course i'm not sure. What I can say is: I have it on my Nexus 7 2013 since brand new and no issues at all. My wife also owns a Nexus 7 2013 and no issues either. But the thing is: if the case starts to cause any issues like those described on Amazon reviews, does it really damage the tablet, or only while using the case?
Just got mine (Samsung case) today from B&H photo...got it barely used for 30 shipped. I feel it's well worth that price. Nearly no added bulk and just enough protection...solid case.
How does it go when using the cover as a kickstand in landscape? It looks similar to the note 8 case which I could not get to stand up correctly, the 2 fold in the case would never stay put and the tablet would fall flat. I want the Samsung case cause of its build quality but only of it does the job it is advertised to do.

I understand this. But when I try to use the magnet and cover to "fold" into a stand, the magnet doesn't seem to be very strong. It doesn't take much effort to have it all fold flat and crash to the table/desktop.

I'll have to post up here in a couple days with pics. I ordered a white one. Got the poetic for cheap, seems nice but after reading amazon reviews I'm leery and would rather not risk it. I'm looking for a stand and some protection for travel, I'll post a comparison.
I have a black Samsung book cover for my tab pro 8.4 and so far it works and feels great!

I wanted to share this deal with everyone if you want an authentic s-view cover for a lot less than most retailers. You can't beat this cover for $18. I purchased this from paydeals during their last deal a month or so ago and I love it. They do sell the real product even though it comes in a plastic bag and you can process through Amazon for payment.
Oh and drive the price down to $16.10 by using code FPTCAYMN. Thank you nfl46!

Spigen sells a magnetic clip for this case on Amazon that helps keep the cover down for those afraid of it constantly swinging open.

How can you tell? Stiching and build quality seems good, but it came in a zip lock case without protective film over the plastic window. I'm getting a note 3 on Monday so well do an Ota with T-Mobile and see if it works (fake ones were not supposed to work on kitkat)
It works perfect on mine and I have a friend that has an original that he bought from Samsung and it's the same exact one. Been using it for well over a month without a hiccup.
Mine came in the same bag. Most of their stuff doesn't come in retail package but everything is legit!

the first update 4.1.2 to 4.4.2didn't work, there was a minor 4.4.2 update about 2 weeks after that worked, I had about 8 s view case, all had different ic, they all work now.
is any of these 8 genuine? maybe you can spot wheter its a fake
Honestly I have not heard of anything on Paydeals being fake. Most customers are happy except the few who didnt research before buying, but that is normal.
Links not working for me, can anyone post the link again to the black s view case? Thanks.
This is a place to show off your after-market watch straps (eat it, Gear Live ).
Whilst I haven't got my hands on the G Watch yet, or a 3rd party strap for that matter, I can at least see what straps you've all ordered. Right?
I'll be slapping this strap on my G Watch once the watch & strap arrive. I might also swap between the strap on my Pebble, that's a cuff-style strap.
Until people get their hands on devices, this thread will most likely be people just sharing links for straps. Once I'm able to, I'll be uploading pictures of my G Watch in various straps- And so should you!
-----
TL;DR, What strap(s) have you ordered for your G Watch?
I opted for the White Gold version, I haven't been able to decide what color bands would look good on the watch.
So where did you find that strap? It looks great.

I think they ship worldwide too, but I wouldn't be surprised if there's a similar strap on eBay US.

I ordered the Black G Watch.
And got this band coming in for it.
Have similar band on my Pebble but its a one piece. Going two piece on the GW.
I can't find this anywhere, what kind of watch strap do I need. I don't want to accidental on purpose order the wrong size
Just saw a video. 22mm from a rep

the only issue you may have with the black metal ones is that they tend to scratch easily on desks and things, showing the silver though from underneath, a lot of Pebble owners are having this issue. Its the only reason I have gone for a leather strap. It looks like a nice one though.
i was thinking about getting this one

Question for you, and anyone else opting for a metal band: Does anyone know or can anyone speculate how these bands will work with the charging cradle? From the pictures and preview videos I've seen, it looks like you have to lay the watch down on the cradle flat, so it seems like the closed metal band would interfere. Maybe you'd have you put the cradle on its side somehow, or put the cradle on the inside of the band? I really prefer a metal band, but I'm not sure how that would work.

I have that exact band on my own Pebble, and haven't had much of an issue with scratches. I'm pretty tough on watches (apparently I'm rather clumsy), and my band still looks like it did fresh out of the package. Maybe I got lucky with a really good band, even though it was a pretty cheap one from Amazon.
With the soft grip/nylon/leather back & strong screen this phone to me seems like an ideal canidate for a bumper case to protect the edges from getting scratched up. Anyone found/using one?
Thanks
Never had any luck with bumper cases. Always seemed to peel off when taking phone out my pocket. I just go with a full case but I always try and find one not so bulky.
Usually Verizon puts one out for their droids I think.

Moto X Pure comes with a bumper case, but I think that's because of the high likelihood of screen breakage on the phone.

Yes, I was hoping the Turbo came with one too. Haven't found one online or in a store yet.

I'm very happy with this TPU case ordered from Amazon.com. It is offered in a few colors. They are about as thin a case as I have ever used. I did have a thin hard shell case for my Moto X that I liked a bit better. But, this does the trick and improves the handling.

I haven't seen anyone making just a nice simple rubber bumper yet for this phone.
If you find one, please post it!
I would really want a bumper one friend of mine has a moto x and it look really clean.
Incipio Bumper?
I emailed Incipio and asked if they had plans to make a bumper for the T2. Maybe it would help if more people emailed them and asked. Here is the email I got back.
Hello,
Thank you for the email. At this time we are not sure if we are going to release a bumper case for the Moto Droid Turbo 2. We kindly ask that you follow us on social media and sign up for our newsletter for upcoming announcements and release dates.
Please let us know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Which back do you have on your phone?
Im looking to replace the backcover on my ballistic nylon MXF. I regret choosing the ballistic n. version. It got this cheap feel to it, and it is NOT grippy as some reviewers state. I really miss the organic feel of the leather from Moto X 2014.
So, anyone have experience with the replacement covers found around the net?
Have looked at the ones on eBay and AliExpress, but havent found any without the cutout for the Droid logo. Are there perhaps other places to buy from? Anyone tried it or got some ideas?

I'm from México, and asked motorola about this, they told me they do not sell the covers, but they can change it for you if you take it to costumer service, and obviously they will charge you for it. I'm on the other side, I'm tired of the leather feel. Lol.

Well, yes, you are kind of correct. I was actually looking for leatherbacks, but I see now that wasnt clear from the OP. My fault!
Btw the two last links are for the Droid Turbo 2 and not suitable if you want the back clean of Droid logos.
I ordered my moto x from the carrier and the girl/rep told me it was the balistic nylon. When the phone came it was the leather model... i was about to return it but boy it feels premium.
Previous phone was a Note 3 and the difference is a loooooot.
I just orderd black leather cover from here: http://de.aliexpress.com/item/Origi...or-Moto-Motorola-Droid-Turbo/32581897134.html
Then I changed the ballistic nylon back from my basic version of Moto X Force (without logo) to leather version with DROID logo and I´am very happy! Now feeling more Premium to my Moto X 2014 or Moto X Style with leather back before. The leather ist very smooth and grippy.
Any videos how to replace back cover?

I own an x force so isn't technically a droid but I've also not enjoyed the ballistic nylon...
Any help would be great.

I had the leather for about 6 months now and hated every time of it. Just bought a "regular" back cover, and it feels very good in the hand. It has the "Droid" branding tho... Search in Aliexpress, I've seen what you're looking for there.
The DROID-logos are included. I bought some leather variants and a softgrip cover from ALIEXPRESS. All covers came with logo. In my opinion the look with DROID logo ist much "cooler" as the global MOTO X FORCE version without any logo on the back.
do u really need a heat gun to remove the adhesive back?
Sent from my XT1580 using Tapatalk
Hair dryer ist really enough. With a little heat it is much easier.
I've put a Red nylon backcover with hair dryer.
Long, very long time to could peel off the back.
And be careful, metal is so hot !!!
