Hello,

because this case is available for me here but i didn't find any videos for at @ youtube
if anyone tested it, what do you think and do you recommend it?
here's the case @ amazon :
https://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Gala...UTF8&qid=1494184108&sr=8-7&keywords=xdoria+s8
Thanks a lot

UP

In the age of UAG.
Why would anyone buy this?

I have this case. Design is great/ looks good, but it really uncomfortable. The rubber is really hard and sharp. Debating if I should move on and find another case.

If this is aluminum, military grade or otherwise, will it interfere with the signal or cause signal degradation?

Opinions on this wizard case? Seems to fit great and protect

http://search.ebay.com/search/searc...ftrt=1&ftrv=1&saprclo=&saprchi=&fsop=1&fsoo=1
I have a krussel case for my nokia 6620. I thought another krussel would not be a bad choice. Although if anybody has a wonderful case they can suggest that is great.
Basically i want a case that is always on, since i can drop the unit when its not in the case that was included.
I have the PDAir Aluminium one, and think it's great. I'm very rough with my electronic toys, since they are "tools" for me, and a good tool has to stand me Also bought some pretty leather case (don't remember the name), because I thought it would be a bit smaller than the PDAir, but it wasn't, and you don't see the screen with those, so I'm back to PDAir. Looking at all the scratches it already has, it seems it does it's job well...

Is it possible to extend the keyboard without removing the phone from the case?
:?:
Yup I got the solid aluminium for travel and running around and the Krussel Cabriolet is on order for evening out or light use.

I think Krussel is the best. The prices are another story, this is about 50$.

does the cabriolet from krusell protect the screen with some type of plastic over it? or does it just expose the screen?
this is the one im referring to
http://cgi.ebay.com/Krusell-Leather...QQihZ008QQcategoryZ108604QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
That case doesn't protect the screen at all
Is it just me, or are the Monaco and PDAir cases identical (including the same pictures!)??
Monaco vs PDAir
More importantly, does anyone see a problem with one of these Case & Car charger combos on ebay?
has anyone ever got/seen one of these before?

looks absolutly fantastic, and lets you use the keyboard too.
Cases
Hello there. I have the silver aluminum case. I really liked the case after I got use to it. The only problem, my phone would freeze. Lock up totally. Only way out was to hard reset the phone. I know this sounds rediculous, but I've ruled out everything else. Ever since I stopped using the case my phone hasn't needed even a soft reset.
Currently I am using this:

Alluminium Case

Hi guys,
I was thinking of buying this case for my phone and wanted to know if anybody already got it.
http://www.telefon.de/produkt.asp?gruppe=110_108350_1001332&products_id=52819
I've heard some people had problems with signal strength and GPS with similar Cases on The Diamond.
Or would you recommend to get a plastic one like: link
or silico one like: link
or the Shield Protector for the hole device?
Thanks in advance for your replys!
Hello. I'm a great fan of these cases. I have it now on the topaz and had on a p3300. No problem for signals.
Watch out that the model you are looking has no plastic to protect the screen.
Also I would buy it from ebay...
Well i went for the plastic one as it only costed 3,50euros and i can say it is quite good.
Just also a quick heads up, the silicon cases also increase friction soo if u put it into ur pockets, its hard to take it out

[Q] help looking for a case

I need some help looking for a case. I would like something folio style, but all of the pictures of the M1, Px cases look like they stand very upright. I am looking for a case that will lean back to allow it to sit and use as a keyboard stand. Anyone have any ideas for me?
Thanks!

CLIP
I got a CLIP from it2steve's web store and it works as exactly as you are wanting it to. It comes with 3 grooves on one side so you can have the gTab in 3 viewing angles but if you let it all the way down as shown in the attached photo it's perfect for typing.
As a new GTablet owner I was looking for a good case as well. The Clip looks sweet but it seems to be sold out from it2steve's store.
Anyone know where I can score this sweet looking case?

I'm pretty sure that's the only place to get them. You just have to keep a close eye on the site. I managed to snag one last week, but they were only in stock for a couple of hours.

Yeah, I heard that too about the magnets on the M1.
I am very happy with my CLIP case. In my opinion it is the only Apple quality accessory we have for the gTab at the moment. It's well worth the extra cash and I can't recommend it any better.
Thanks SJ! Exactly what I'm looking for. Appreciate the pic.

I tried moving a small (1/4" diameter x 1/8" thick disk) rare earth magnet near the screen of my GTab, and didn't see any effects. Has anyone else tried any experiments? How large is the magnet in the case?
I saw a clip style case at staples that's made for the xoom- any chance it would fit our g-tabs?

available now both black and white on AliExpress for $58 shipped, if you would rather spend the time waiting for it in transit from Asia rather than waiting for it to get restocked @ Steve.

No. I looked into this a few weeks ago (don't remember where I posted that) and the Xoom and gTabs are different sizes. If I remember correctly the gTab was bigger/longer than the Xoom.

As an M1 owner who's used it for a couple of weeks now, I can tell you that the magnet issue, like most things on the Internet, is blown way out of proportion. I use the tablet daily at work, have used it shopping for replacement flooring/furniture for our flooded gameroom, and sitting on the reclining sofa playing Angry Birds. I've never had a problem with the magnets reducing screen responsiveness or "freaking out". My only complaint is that over time, the GTab tends to settle further down in the case, half-hiding the camera and all but covering the ambient light sensor. If you don't plan on propping it up on a desk as often as I do, it makes a wonderful case.
M1 Case and G Tab Screen
I got an M1 case on Monday so I've had it for 3 days now. The fit, feel and look of the case are all excellent so far on mine, however, the it does mess with the screen. The longer it stays in the case the worse it gets. I have done tests in and out of the case, putting to sleep or not, rebooting or not and now have no doubt it is the case but I am not sure if its actually the magnets or not. It could just be the case itself touching the edges of the screen all day. In any case, (some pun intended) the longer it stays in the case, the harder you have to press the outside portions of the screen to get it to react. Mine eventually gets to the point where you cannot press hard enough to get the keys on the keyboard to function. When this happens I put it to sleep, pull it out of the case, wake it up and it works like new again. I will probably be investing in a black clip myself in the near future. This could just be a problem with my particular Gtab and it may not effect others at all but that is my short bit of experience with the M1 Case.
There's a few black clip cases in stock at it2steve's web store now.

For anyone who doesn't want to spend $50-$60 on a case for a $300 item, WI Global Technology has cheap alternatives. One with clips, one with elastic.
I got the one with clips. For $16 - It's OK.
All ports are accessible.
It's vinyl - NOT leather.
The covers extend about 1/16th" beyond the GTab - just enough protection (for me, anyay)
As you can see. the kickstand angle is about 75 degrees - it would probably be better if it were more like 60.
For $16 delivered, you get what you pay for (maybe a bit more... ymmv).

and before anyone asks...
yes, those are LED indicators by the back/menu/home/search buttons.
It's a custom mod which can be seen here

Hmmm been using the M1 for a few weeks now. Never noticed this magnet issue. I know magnets can mess with hard drives but never heard of it messing with an LCD. Doesn't the ipad 2 smart cover have like 70 magnets?
EDIT: Looked it up, 31 magnets.

Verus Iron Shield case

Does anyone have this case for their G3? If so how do you like it? This is the case I am talking about. I want to get it but hesitant because I want something thin and I like the aluminum frame. If someone does have it and does not want it LMK and ill buy it or trade for a brand new otterbox defender case. :good:
I'm curious about this case as well seems this company mimicks spigen (Thor=slim armor,iron shield =neo hybrid) but their cases appear to be high quality since spigen doesn't make a neo hybrid for the g3 I'm really debating on getting this case
Sent from my VS985 4G using XDA Free mobile app
Verus
I had the Spigen Slim Armor case Black. It was a nice fit and very low profile. It also had an extra hold on the plastic so Im not sure if it is truly for G3. I sent it back and got the Verus. This case is very similar to the Spigen and has a perfect fit. It is slim and has a thin metal frame around it. Making it look very nice. I would say these are the best two cases out there and I would say the Verus is number one. The metal frame makes it standout.
I would send a few pic. here.
I've got the Versus satin case. I had to run some sandpaper along the cutout edges to knock down the sharp edges (top) and bottom, but nice case and not slippery like the one I picked up at Verizon.
It takes a bit to remove it tho so not for the person who likes to swap batteries.

The hole is for the Korean variant of the G3. Spigen made the decision to make all of their cases "universal", so they all have the hole. That why I went with Verus and got the Thor. The Thor is nice, but it also adds significant bulk and weight. I've ordered another case to try out.
I have spigen slim armour with no hole. You need to buy the us version of the case
When I was talking to the VZ rep that was helping us when we were getting the LG G3, he showed me his Spigen case that is similar to the Iron Shield. He loved it but the "metal" frame around the headphone and charging port kept cracking. For something that is metal, it breaks easily.

got mine a few days ago - it's thing and light - the metal seems solid enough (the edges are a little sharp though). No extra hole. has an S5-like back with those little dimples. Got it in black with the silver rim.

oh shucks. i got amazon one and it has hole for the clear case that is
Just ordered this case after reading about it here and watching a couple of reviews on youtube.
Pretty excited about this one. It looks great, has pretty good protective features and is still relatively inexpensive. Just purchased on amazon directly from verus for 19.99 plus 2 for shipping and zero tax.
Should have it within a week.

I bought this case at first I like it but I noticed with the case on my signal dropped down to 1 bar from 5 bars and my download speed went from 15 Mbps download speed to less than 1 Mbps it took me about a week to figure this out as to who would think that the case would block the signal but it does I spent countless hours on the phone with Verizon trying to figure out what was going on then just by chance when I was switching the dim cards back and fourth from my g2 to my g3 to see if it may be the phone I noticed that my signal was fine until I put the car back on so don't buy this case hopefully this will help anyone thinking of buying this case

Yeah I was going to get this before unread the same thing in a few reviews. Battery killer.
I have the exact same case that you link to, OP. It has already survived a fall with just a little ding on the metal band around the case. I haven't noticed any drop in signal or battery life while using this case.
I got this case yesterday and have to say that I don't like it at all. As others have said, the metal is sharp in places and the signal does drop. I went from getting 4G in my home to 3G after putting the case on. Once I took it off, it went back to 4G. If anyone wants to buy one for cheap, let me know.
I just received the verus iron shield the other day too and I love the look and feel.
On this thread, I believe, and elsewhere I read some people were seeing some signal degradation due to the metal frame.
This made me sensitive to this and I've been trying to see if that's the case. I was testing two nights ago in my basement and it appeared that I was getting one less bar of signal. I was pretty tired and bleary eyed so I need to try this again hopefully this weekend.
I was wondering if you or someone else has checked this out.
The case is beautiful and gives above average protection, which is more than enough for me, but if the signal is being affected that would be a dealbreaker.
On another note, I have the supcase frost/clear back case and I love that too. It's thin, light and looks terrific. It offers no better than average protection but that's ok with me too.
These 2 cases give me everything that I personally look for in phone cases.
Thanks in advance
Edit:
Been testing and the iron shield definitely degrades signal for me. I'll be returning it to amazon

Signal gone down here too. I'm in Italy, where i was getting 4G now it's 3G and where the signal was bad (1 bar) now i can't get any at all.
Switched for the Spigen Slim Armor (i think verus iron shield case is the best looking and classy case for LG G3 but i can't stand the signal issue)
Just for information...to all the people with my same experience, have you got the model with the antenna cut or the plain one?

[review] Love Mei lg g3 case

lovemeicases.com/love-meir-powerful-bumper-for-lg-g3/
So after reading many bad reviews i give a try and i bought Love Mei case.
Im very impressed. Yes, case is really big and a little heavy but i like it. I don't like skinny cases so for me its a plus. Another pros. is awesome looking and color. I choose yellow and its really deep and high visibility.
If you don't know its metal case with good quality rubber.
Screen is very sensitive and feel much much better then every screen or case i ever used on G3 or other phones. Its awesome, i would like to be all day on phone because touch is awesome smooth and nice.
What isn't true what you can read everywhere :
Sound quality - you can find many reviews about poor sound / voice quality or mic/speaker. Its not true.
Sound is like without case if not better :0
Poor quality material - another BS. This case is very high quality, nice rubber and metal. Screws are like screws, small and easy to unscrew.
Signal strength - i don't notice any signal change. For better or worst i have the same signal strength. Its another BS
What i think is people bought this case from amazon or other wired store and they get fake/damaged case because even otterbox defender which i had lasts months can lick love mei "screws". Now i feel like Otterbox is low quality and everything what you can read about love mei.
Or 2nd option is somebody doesn't want lost costumer like very popular and liked otterbox, describing love mei as worst ever made case.
Thanks God i bought Love Mei and threw out cheap otterbox.
I prefer buy from love mei store or good eBay seller. I know amazon can sell fake products. I get shocked when i bought RayBan sunglasses. I checked amazon reviews and found pictures compared fake from Amazon and original from RayBan store. On pic. My ( also from RayBan store) were looks like his original and fake just like wow. After that i change mind and i try buy from manufacture / original store or good eBay seller with return.
Love Mei case I buy from http://www.ebay.com/usr/sports_outlet13?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2754
Received a day before estimated if you wander
But i found 2 cons. First is small which doesn't bother and don't care but you should know about it. Im too lazy now to make a picture (maybe later) but i found on YT Its here https://youtu.be/87WF8bWEYZY?t=6m32s
Can you see horizontal metal piece between screen and speaker/camera, etc? Is not glued well. I thought its just his/manufacture or something but i have similar on my case so if you decide to buy you should expect it.
2nd is or was a bigger problem. This piece on top right https://youtu.be/87WF8bWEYZY?t=6m5s is very easy to remove/lost even if you dont touch it. Today i had to unscrew 2 times and put it back. So it can be a problem but i think i found a solution. First time i didn't put correctly in place because now is very hard to remove even if i try. Ill update review if ill have same problem or was my fault.
If you like love mei case go for it.
Update:
So after few weeks of usage i can change my mind only for let say "hearing me" so microphone.
My g-f is already pis off on me and my case because she have to press her phone into ear to hear me. Idk why only she complain. but im ready to buy another new case im so sad because its the best case, for me most perfect for bulk,protection and weight, looking, feeling, etc. Just the best. And my g-f is #1 for me not the case ill miss you love mei case ;;;(
You didn't link to the case.
hahaha the follow up is great good review i was thinking of buying one but gone with the zero lemon as i need more juice!
I'm really hang on between the love mei and otterbox,normally I'm more interested in otterbox,yet seems there don't have some improvement on their design and it may make my G3 a vintage one which seems like a 2010 phone,meanwhile,I'm also stop the forward to lovemei for someone don't think highly of them with some reasons say the huge size,effect signal,too heavy,even some doubt on their workmanship etc.,however,if purchased from amazon or bad eBay seller not included on this issue.Anyway,now I'm relax to purchase directly from lovemeicases.com and thanks for your review again!
Tried that case and it's a bloody brick xD. It's so big and heavy I can't see someone putting it in their pants pocket. Though I found one nice pro: it's a very good self defence weapon. I bet you can actually kill someone with it xD.
Steadily deteriorating performance on my LG4 while in the Love Mei case.
Problem went away immediately when phone removed from case.
RE-casing today(8-JUN-2016) and will report back.
