hi guys, i had this idea of a cover with folds so it can allow the device to fold back. well i finally did it and i think it looks great except for the fabric, i need to find something more fitting, and the structure of the case that i modified with a cutter...
i dont want to explain the entire process but it's simple. i just got a case from amazon (the one that has two separate parts with some fake leather glued to it, which i took off) then modified it so it can still work as a structure for the cover(fabric) but would allow the device to fold back all the way around.
then i found this plastic fabric i had around which isnt thin enough but would let me do the folds on it , so i got this, cut it, glued it together and bam! i had my first working prototype. i know it won't fold all the way back but i dont need to do it,.. if i found a fabric a bit thinner it would fold more. but it works, the phone recognizes its folded, so it answers calls etc...
what i want to do next is to fix the alignment of the inner folds (see picture with ink) so it won't take that much space and let the duo folds a little bit more.
here are some pics.
any idea is welcome.

I made an aluminum stand for my gTablet today. Its nothing fancy, you can buy them online for about $30, but I'm learning to work with metal and happy with the results
I made it tall enough so that it is stable in portrait mode.

Next step will be to get our favorite green guy on there...I'm thinking acid-etched, but a sticker may be a lot simpler
Very nice.. maybe a duct tape hinge at the top bend (with a retaining piece across the middle of the two uprights) for portability?

I have a Lego stand for portability...
I can't take credit for the design - I saw something similar online and then gave my 10 year old $5 to make me something similar
Wow. That's really creative. I like both of them but especially the lego piece.

I bought the OSF as my main work phone and needed a decent quality case with a belt clip to go with it. I spotted that the Droid Incredible was almost the same size as the OSF/Blade and Tuff-Luv have a case for that model so I ordered one hoping it would be close enough that I could make it fit.
No worries, the case arrived today, the fit is as near perfect as it could be! and as a bonus the belt clip stud fits my Krussel multidapt system perfectly. The phone is held firmly in place by the two side panels (the Incredible is meant to be 2mm wider so it would have been a very tight fit) the flap closes over properly and will pull down to expose the camera lens for taking photos. Two possible reasons why you might not like this case are, the vol down button is covered by the side panel, see pic1 and the headphone socket/power button are covered by the flap when closed pic3, neither one bothers me so that's ok

/edit - As always, the Tuff-Luv quality is excellent!
nice case.
i'm searching something similar like this.
http://cgi.ebay.es/Genuine-Leather-...123926?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item53e4df4896
perhaps will be compatible?.
anyone plan on using Sugru instead of a case? idk how practical it would be with those 4 corner rubber pieces, if they would make it tough to put the Note in and out of my pockets...

you can order Sugru here: https://sugru.com/us/buy
anyone think that it's practical or no?
Wrong thread and I rather put a thick rubber band around it.
if an admin could move this to Accessories i'd appreciate it

Sugru corners are the best phone protection. You can't drop your phone on a regular surface and not have it hit one of the 1/8" raised corners first. The material is bouncy but stiff and takes up a ton of shock. You can peel it off and redo it. Best of all you aren't turning your 8mm thick phone into a 1" thick brick and get to keep the aesthetics that the company intended.

So presumably as long as you drop it on something flat, the thick corners will absorb the shock? Interesting. Still ugly, but..
I tried searching and couldn't find an answer for my question.
I just recently purchased a refurbed Asus Transforer TF101 + dock. I want to protect the screen of course, but also want to protect the back. I really love the look and texture of the back of the tablet. I want to get a clear protector for it, but I'm afraid because of the TF101's unique texture, the clear protectors(wet installs) won't properly adhere to it. Does anyone have experience + pictures with their install?
Thanks
This is a skinomi techskin. I bought it because it was the first product out there for the transformer, maybe the new stuff is thinner/better but this works fine. Its a soft film like invisibleshield/bodyguardz/phantomskinz and as you can see, the material actual conforms slightly to the texture, at least to the dimpled parts. What might not be apparent here is there are still some marks from the soapy liquid used for lubrication on installation. Its been on the tablet since May of last year and it still hasn't cleared completely up, so i would suggest getting a colored one if that kind of stuff bothers you.
Fits in the dock fine, just takes a little bit of extra push to get it totally in there to engage the lock due to it being slightly thicker.

I just got my new phone after using an S8 for 5 years. But I had the LED View case on that one, keeping it together with duct tape when it started falling apart and the LED feature broke. The reason being the auto smart wake and sleep when opening and closing the cover.
So since Samsung stopped making those covers for this generation and their only official wallet cover has a big hole in it, which I am a bit on the fence about, I was wondering if anyone else had found any other decent ones with the feature.
I don't personally care about storing cards in the case but mostly just being able to cover the screen. Don't need it to magnetically shut either, honestly, I would prefer if it didn't since I heard it can mess with the S Pen.
The auto/smart wake and sleep feature isn't really advertised often so unless I can find a video where I see it working I have no idea if the case has that feature or not, so does anyone else have a case that does it they would recommend? A bit desperate atm. with how slippery it is, and not laying flat on tables as well..

My S8 case was a trooper.
