Luxa2 Aluminum Phone Stand - Galaxy Note 3 Accessories

Just got this Aluminum Stand from them for $9.99.
Pretty pleased with it. It's got a solid construction. One grip is that the silicone material won't stick properly to my Bear Motion case but that is most likely because of the texture of the Bear Motion case. Without the case it works great.
For $9.99 it's a pretty good deal. I also bought their tablet holder for the same price on their site. Here's the link to both:

Silicone case on Amazon

Has anyone purchased this silicone case from Amazon?
http://www.amazon.com/iShoppingdeal...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1317307713&sr=1-2
I ordered one yesterday and I'm hoping it's better than the silicone case I got from China. It's ok but just a little loose. The picture of the case on Amazon looks different so I figured I'd give it a shot since the price was reasonable.
No, but thanks just ordered it. The targus portfolio case is nice for most of the time, but I'm looking for something for around the house.
It's already sold out.
I thought it might go out of stock after people realized it was on Amazon. As stated in my op - the one I ordered from China off ebay is a little to loose. The cutouts are great but I'm looking for something a little tighter.
I can't see the price since it's unavailable. How much did you guys buy it for? Was it better than Sikai's price of $17.00?
I'm not so sure on the design. Back looks kind of weird, Sikai has a grippy texture like micro-cobblestone. Also the Sikai case comes up around the trim of the screen farther than this one. This one looks like an iPad silicone case I bought a year ago that had this thin lip where the edges are and it would fall out extremely easily.
The Sikai case isn't loose at all, it might be based on when you bought it or what color but the clear one I bought is tight as a glove with literally no probability of falling out even holding it one handed. It's very well made.
Case is $10.95 and I have Amazon Prime so shipping was free for me. Maybe I should have phrased my comments regarding the Sikai case differently. I do like the texture of the Sikai case and how much of the TF it actually covers but when I go to pull it out of my bag the edge along the face moves way too easily. Granted it isn't loose to the point of it falling off on its own but it also shouldn't come out with a minor movement - only if I'm trying to remove it intentionally.

Added by edit.
The good thing about this silicone case is it also fits the keyboard dock, given you're willing to do some cutting. So, I got 2 pieces, one covering the tablet and one covering the keyboard dock. I'll post a picture tomorrow as I'm too lazy now.
Iso, when you get it can you do a review side by side with the Sikai case and point out the differences and faults?

[Review] Mercury Leather Wallet Case / Generic Leather Flip Case

I recently purchased Mercury Leather Wallet Case from ebay (Link).
I bought a no-name leather flip case from a local shop (I tried to find the same one on ebay for reference, but failed), and it was very nice case. Good quality leather with little padding. BUT, it didn't have any protection at the top and bottom of the phone. And more importantly, there was a magnet behind the phone on the right side, which interfered with s-pen operation. I started taking out the phone whenever I was home, and then I decided to get a new case.
After searching through sites and ebay, I found this Mercury case. I chose this one because the phone was detachable with a jelly case.
First, the case is not as nice as it looks on the photo. It is not real leather, more like plastic and thin. Stitching is well-done for the most part, but it could be better. The magnet closure is using glue and it is already coming apart. I will have to superglue it or tape it up. It can hold up to 4 credit cards, but it barely closes.
The best part of this case is the jelly case. It is better quality than the usual TPU case. It is slippery to slide in and out of my pockets, but provides good grip in my hands. The phone wiggles just slightly in the jelly case, but a very good fit. On the leather case, there is a silicon-based sticky pad, where the jelly case sticks onto. I have had the jelly case on and off multiple times, but it still holds the case very nicely. If I needed to, I can wipe it with a wet towel to clean it.
And here is the second issue. The cutout for camera/speaker/s-pen is slightly out of alignment. If I align the phone to the cutout, outside edge of the phone is at a slight angle from the leather case. If I align the phone to the outside edge of the leather case, camera is off to the side of cutout. It doesn't affect the camera operation, but it is an issue nonetheless.
For the price, I think it is a very good value, because you also get a very good quality jelly case. When I go out, I stick the phone into the flip case. When I am the office or home, I take it out for easy access to the phone.
Oh, it also came with a screen protector, but I already have one on, so I don't know what it is like.

I just learned that the jelly case included in Mercury Wallet case is exactly the same material as SGP Ultra Capsule Series. I had them side-by-side.
They both seem to be from Korea, so these cases may just have different branding.

Bobjgear Rugged Case

I've been looking at the Bobjgear Rugged case for the TF201 I just repaired. Looks really nice, similar to the Gumdrop case but vastly cheaper.. Has anyone used this case yet? I've contacted them to order one for myself, from the reviews I gather the case is excellent, provides great shock protection when dropped, and makes it feel beefy so you're not feeling like you're holding a piece of glass.
http://bobjgear.com/
Here's a link to it on Amazon : http://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Transfo...0B04/ref=aag_m_pw_dp?ie=UTF8&m=A3SQAI9BQY42F6
Looks rugged as hell.
I picked up the Poetic Leather Keyboard Portfolio case from Amazon several months ago after replacing my LCD / digitizer. While not quite as ruggedly designed as the Bobjgear, it's sufficient to offer significant protection over having nothing at all and my Prime/Dock lives in my backpack when not being used (read: much potential for shock damage).
The Poetic case claims to be leather -- it seems to me to be more like sprayed-on vinyl. It cost less than $18usd.
I particularly like that the portfolio case comes apart into two pieces. If you want to disconnect your keyboard and take just the tab, this portfolio will do that. The part that connects the keyboard snaps off. You're left with a fold-over portfolio that's adequate.
Got my case, have my tablet screen fixed for the millionth time (cheap piece of easily breakable crap, what a horrid design).
Anyways, the case is NICE. I don't feel like I'm carrying a sheet of glass around now, it's easy and nice to hold, fixes VERY well and pads so nicely against bumps it's unbelievable.
Definitely a solid value.

cheap rugged case until my uag arrives

hey guys! as we all know the case situation for the gn3 sucks right now. I have preordered the uag in orange for my black gn3, I was using the diztronic and poetic invictus case up until last week when my gn3 took a slight but harmless spill. It got me to thinking that i need a little more protection until the uag arrives. The poetic invictus wasn't cutting it in fact I have using the diztronic exclusively after using the poetic invictus only a day. Ebay to the rescue! ordered a defender knock off that included a kickstand for 9 bucks shipped.Heres the link: http://www.ebay.com/itm/40058067139...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
Overall a very solid case with great protected especially for the screen the front lip is just as deep as the defender
Comes in multiple colors
the built in stand is adjustable from multiple angles and seems sturdy
The downside is NO portrait viewing for the stand and this case does not include dust flaps for the ports.
Conclusion, id say this is a very solid rugged case to hold us over until the uag and otterbox arrive, is it as high quality as either no but it is a great bang for your buck at 9 bucks.
i'll include pics(which include a side by side with the poetic invictus) and be please nice this is my first mini review guys, thanks.

Case Review - Poetic Quarterback

Just received this case in the mail today and had to get some pics of it right away. This is a very well made case. It is a TPU case with a hard plastic cover attached to the back of it. It has a nicely textured design on the back. The sides have a bit of a recess to make it easy to grip and good protection at the corners. All cutouts on top, bottom, and for camera are perfect. The hard plastic back has a slightly raised X shape for better strength. The case works great with the film screen protector that I am using. This case has a pretty square shape on the back sides, it doesn't show the tapered side edges of the phone do to how it's made. The inside is fitted to the edges though. When the phone is resting on the back you can make it wobble, this is do to the raised Poetic "P" emblem that is raised. My Samsung wireless fast charger works well with this case too.The Poetic brand of cases seem to be very well made, with what appears to be great protection in thinner designs, while being stylish and a decent price. This is my second Poetic case as I have their Affinity also.
