rooCASE Executive Portfolio

Just wondering if anybody else has gone for one of these. I grabbed one off of amazon well pre ordered one which has now shipped but because I am over in NZ may take a little while to get over here. Its this one here.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00547IV6E

Was looking at that one. Of all the cases I've seen in that price range,I like that one the most.
Sent from my A500 using XDA Premium App

I pre-ordered mine and got it Friday. It's a really nice, well made case. I don't know that I will ever use the tablet in portrait mode while its attached to it like they show, but the fact that the tablet is removable from the case make its nice. Seems like the zipper is a little tight when trying to close it, but there's a lot of room for error as to where you can place the tablet inside the main case. The tilt stand is top notch, I feel very comfortable leaving the case open on a table with the screen exposed, and the curve cut into the stand itself makes it easy to rest the case on your leg and use the tablet.

It is a very well made case. Very solid and high quality.

This looks promising. Just ordered a tpu case and would like this as another option.

Thinking of ordering the magenta color one made like the Acer case when its available.I have too cases for my notebook and are great

Hey, found the same case cheaper at ebay. I think the seller has the magenta color too: http://cgi.ebay.ph/Black-Leather-Ca...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item2eb66f6e50

Hi! Where did you order yours? Amazon has it listed but it's not yet available until the 18th.

http://www.amazon.com/rooCASE-Slim-...0-1-Inch/dp/B0056CW7PS/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_1
Found this one, im ordering it. Looks like it comes with a pen. Might just be what ive been looking for.

i pre-ordered it from Amazon. if you want it I would order now while it is half price.

Hi I bought the executive case I like the good quality and the part you can take out is good as the complete case is quite heavy. Which is a bummer but there are no real alternatives when you want to have it combined in a portfolio

This one is on Sale on amazon for $14.95

I got this case about a week ago and so far it has been great. My only grip is the velcro on the back of the case (rough side is in the back ). It's not very comfortable to hold. Would have been nice if it was reversed.

also try this one if you like..i got for 10 euro

in canada and amazon wont ship here, but i found one here that will http://www.overstock.com/Electronic...0-Executive-Leather-Case/6070886/product.html but before i pull the trigger ive got a couple questions, does the tablet have a closure once its into the internal / removable compartment? IE button, velcro or magnet? or will it just fall out if held upside down wrong? And does the internal compartment have any room in it for the tablet to move inside, even just a little? the reason i ask, is i would like to use a TPU plastic shell around the tablet as an additional layer of protection. And i hope there is enough room for it all to fit, it adds roughly 1 to 2mm of thickness for a total of 3 to 4mm of length if both edges are taken into account. You guys think it would fit?
Edit - Heres what i need to fit inside http://cgi.ebay.com/Clear-Smoke-TPU...ccessories&hash=item3cb9bbee06#ht_4446wt_1396

The back of the internal case has two 3" diameter circles to attach it to the external case. (See first attachement)

It's really hard to say. I don't think the TPU case would fit. The inside case does not have much wiggle room. (Check the other two images)

Instant gratification won out and I ended up pulling the trigger. I will report back on how the tpu fits inside this once the roocase arrives.
And any modifications required to make it happen, if any. At the risk of sounding like an idiot, if it don't fit I'm gonna make it fit.

rooCASE
While I ended up going for a different style of leather case, it looks like RooCase is making the better ones for the a500.
Very good materials and design, as I've stated elsewhere.
I don't think you can go wrong with any of their cases.

Advent Vega tegra Note 7

I recently bought a Tegra Note and i want some advice from the rest of the community , it would be nice if people can post what cases they have bought as i am unable to find a cover for the tegra note which protects both the back and the front or just the back (gel case).
Is there really no cover or case which has been made for our tablet ( all functions including camera accessible)?
Thanks for the contribution.

There is a flap cover but you will have to shop around as some are made for Asian Tegra Note and others for Western Market. The Asian versions maybe cheap but maybe weaker than official Nvidia designs. Like the flap-cover equated to about $10 for me buying off AliExpress.com when included in a bigger order.
You could find a seller of this tablet that also does the flap cover and ask if they will sell separately.

Hi mate theres a few on fleebay that it fits in but not properly due to the shape and speakers set out. However the offical smart cover has just hit the UK
http://www.pcworld.co.uk/gbuk/lapto...ga-tegra-note-7-cover-black-21847928-pdt.html
Its a Rip for £20 but they look smart in them. The Note 7 has a magnet on the bottom speaker side at the back
Its worth getting you can buy 3 or 4 cheaper ones over time will fall apart and not look as good or buy the real deal. Mines on order for pick up later today:0)
No discount codes either but 3% back on quidco thats a maga 0.60p yay.
You could wait a few months until the copy ones come out and other people have more to sell

Tegra case isn't great
The official covers seem to have sold out at PC World and Currys. I found out today when mine broke and I tried to order another one. I liked the cover but it was not worth £20. When mine broke, it was the hinge that snapped with little force. But I was able to see that the silver plastic hinge is not strong enough; the plastic is too weak and the metal bar that holds it is only an inch long at each end and very thin. You can also see that the amount of plastic surrounding the bar is minimal, so don't lift the cover in a way that leaves the tablet dangling. Essentially, these are design flaws that mean it doesn't last long. A pity, as the sleep mode and variable viewing angles allowed by the main cover worked well. I haven't yet found a copy. Better materials and a little more thinking in the design department about the official cover and I wouldn't need one.

[Q] Jumped ship form iphone 5 to note 3

Hi there,
I just bought the note 3 for verizon from Amazon and I get it tomorrow. I have some questions. I did search and I didn't see these answered.
With the phone being bigger I thought about getting a wallet case for the note 3. Does anyone have any recommendations on one that maybe you use now? I want a wallet case with kickstand but those aren't made for some unknown crazy reason. A wallet case with a kickstand would be awesome. The idea is to replace my wallet to free up room in my pocket to fit this phone heh.
Do you recommend a screen protector for the note 3? The iphone 5 uses gorilla glass and you don't really need one.
I'm pretty nervous as my experience with android was with 2.x and it was very painful. I'm hoping 4.4 is a lot better. I am pretty excited about the larger display. It'll be nice to actually see things again and browse the web without having suffer whiplash because i'm leaning over so far to see what I'm reading.
How would you rate 4.4 kitkat verses 2.x gingerbread for example?

Wallet cases mostly don't need kickstands - many of them simply fold into a triangle shape that puts the phone on an angle. Samsung phones have used gorilla glass for several years - but I'd still get a protector. I don't know if I'd bother with the glass ones - I bought a plastic clearview for mine. I also have a genuine leather wallet case with 3 x card pockets and a large cash pocket. Leaves room for the S-Pen socket and protects it all nicely.

Ahh true I've been looking and I saw some that fold. What wallet case brand do you have? There are so many I have no idea what to get. I'm looking at amazon and there are literally pages upon pages upon pages of different brands. They generally look the same but which ones are the real authentic ones that don't fall apart in 2 weeks?
Any recommendation for a screen protector? I use to know what brands to get but I've been out of the loop for awhile. I thought about just getting the verizon one and have them put it on for me since I would suck at doing it.
Oh warranty. What are your thoughts on buying a warranty with it? I thought about getting the trade square warranty from amazon.
Sorry I have lots of questions I guess. :cyclops:

I'd go for a tempered glass screen protector since plastic might hinder the Spen. Some popular brands are iloome and mime.

You have to look because they sell for $15 to $20 when on sale and they are good, they have 3 coils. I have three of these and use them for S3, S4, and Note 3 without problem.

I got my note 3 today. Man I'm so lost lol. I use to be able to navigate android so easily.
How do I update my note from jellybean to kitkat? I do the software update and it says it's up to date. I should google that I guess.

the update depends on your country. Some are late. The quickest way is to download the firmware from samfirmware.com and flash using pc odin. It will not trip your "knocks" counter as it is an official firmware.

Well the latest version is N900VVRUBMJE which is the samething I have and it's 4.3. Oh well I guess kit kat isn't out for note 3 on verizon.

That's pretty sweet actually. I think I want to get 2 of the wireless charging. One in the bedroom and one in the living room... why doesn't apple have this? lol

This Genuine Leather Case is what I bought. I got a screen protector from the same site.
Haven't had a single issue with the Momax Crystal Protector and S-Pen - certainly seems very responsive to touch. I tried the multitouch apps after I got the protector and found phone extremely responsive to all fingers on the screen so I doubt it's an issue. I got the plastic because I figured maybe the softer material would provide a bit more shatter protection on the off chance I dropped it. (& it was cheaper )
Note that my case DOESN'T fold but it wasn't a concern for me. They have This Case, Leather and Fold that might give you an idea of what to look for in the US - or get it shipped.
I was more interested in the extra card (3) and cash pocket

I decided on this one http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JA4E5JE/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i01?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's cheap and has extra card slots.

Ah well, Australia often slugs us extra for stuff. That looks like a useful wallet replacement but will be quite thick if you fill all the card slots. Mine gets to approx 2cm with 3 cards and cash in the main pocket. If I needed to carry more the one you're getting would be a definite option - I like cargo pockets so size isn't that big an issue for me.
I do like the fine leather of mine though - oozes quality.

Ha ya I already thought of that. We'll see if it doesn't work out it was only 10 bucks heh.

Protection concerns

Hi all
It's been a while. Having spent years holding onto Windows Mobile, I finally transitioned to Android with an HD2 .. a device I still love.
Work had me using supplied iPhones for the last few years. I can see the attraction buy the iOS restrictions always frustrated. Having invested in what I'm pained to agree is the best app ecosystem, latterly with family iPADs it became clear for tablets at least, I was stuck. For the phone .. work have just ordered me an iPhone6.
I had a hankering for a new Android phone for a long time but they never seemed quite right. The Note (aside from the lack of 64bit for the upcoming 'L') seemed closer than ever. Out on a trip to get my son's iPhone 5 repaired I had one of those moments. The Air 2 cellular arrived at the store that morning so I bought one to replace my iPAD3. Until I heard it finally had got the min 2gb it needed and then the extra core .. in wasn't going to bother.
I then trotted down the road and found stores that had just got the Note4 in that morning. I picked one up at carphone on EE.
It's stunning .. at last .. a Samsung with the build of the HD2 ☺.
So .. why all the rambling ?
Well .. I at last have the personal phone in want and I can't use it.
I hear on this forum that many had issues with cases causing blemishes on the Note3 screen .. particularly the s-view. I also hear that screen protectors don't really work well on the curved edge screen. I can't take something this big and lovely out without protection.
Has anyone had this blemish issue yet with the Note4 ? Has anyone found a protector that looks good and works well ? I've always used Writeshield and Media Devil before .. they've looked good after two years and don't require sticky back on liquid to put on. I'm wary of others but open to advice.
Re the case .. I don't want to scratch the metal sides. I'm slightly interested in the Samsung protector case but would normally get a Noreve, Piel Frama or Krussell leather book style. The latter 3 are due out shortly but that may mean 4 weeks.
What to do ? If the screen inc coating were as hardy as the iPhone I'd just have the book case and not worry about the screen protector but if that's not the case I'd need both.
Any advice .. much appreciated.

Just dont throw it in a bag with your keys, screwdrivers and diamonds and you should be fine. I never use a screen protector, and all my screens are fine. Just dont place it screen down on tables etc, dont keep it in a pocket with keys etc, and dont drop it. Oh, and perhaps consider getting an insurance for the phone, just in case you DO fall down the stairs and it breaks.
The screen can withstand quite a bit, easily equal to the iphones screen. I have no idea why you think the iphone screen is somehow less prone to damage.

As an ex HD2 user I hear what your saying. I have a cheep flip case until my otter box defender arives. I have been using them since my HD2. You can't get a better case if you don't mind the added bulk.

My concerns about the screen are not first hand. They come from several threads for the Note 3 where the s-view case apparently left scratch like blemishes in the coating on the screen (not the screen itself). I don't if this has been confirmed with the Note 4.
Thanks for the thoughts re Otterbox. . I'll have a look at them.
Has anyone any thoughts re screen protectors that work and leather book like cases ?

P10 Lite Opinions

Hey, my current phone is on it's death bed and I need a new one ASAP. I was planning on buying a Moto G5 Plus until I starting reading all the complaints about low max volume, feeble speaker and poor microphone.
It was recommended to me that I check out the Huawei P10 Lite as an alternative. It seems like a good phone, but I became hesitant to purchase when I found out it doesn't have Gorilla Glass or even the anti-scratch coating.. and I'm batting close to 1000 when it comes to breaking screens.
I'm just curious what owners think about this phone. Are you satisfied with the purchase? Are there any common problems that I'm not aware of?
Thanks.

My wife has Moto G5 Plus, and I have P10 Lite. Both devices are great, really. Gorilla Glass shouldn't be a problem, you can get a tempered glass screen protector and that's it.
Moto G5 Plus on the other hand has a lot of cool features, but I don't like the software. I mean you don't get gallery app pre-installed, but you have to use Google photos (or download one from the PlayStore).
I also had to choose between those two devices and Huawei was a winner for me simply because of the Emui 5.1. Also, this is my first Huawei device, my wife had P8 Lite which was brilliant handset. I still didn't own Motorola so far, but my wise is pleased with it.
I hope I helped at least a bit.

I have the p10 lite and it's very prone to scratching. Not as in deep cracks but like not-very-deep nicks. They're not that obvious when using the phone but when you clean the screen and turn it off you can really see it. I don't really know how mine got scratched, but I'm pretty sure it was from pocket sand. Overall the phone works well and if you hate the emui then just download a different theme. Get a case if you're gonna use it though.

It was recommended over on another forum that I get the P10 Lite l03t since that version has the most compatible bands with MetroPCS. I googled it and couldn't find any for sale.
I was also reading that applying a Gorilla Glass protector is a giant hassle since the screen goes all the way to the edge. Is this true or do those people just suck at it?

It's true. I changed 5 or 6 glasses until I found the one that's good. I'm using PanzerGlass Full Frame now, and I'm very satisfied.

I googled PanzerGlass and it's not recommended to use a protective case with it. Something about it slightly lifting the glass and letting dirt in. That's a pretty big trade-off.. protective glass to stop scratches/cracks or a case for shock absorption and better grip (phones are real slippery without a case).

Yes, it is full coverage. But I don't have the problem, I have Nillkin Nature TPU case that doesn't lift the protector. The problem make cases that has raised edges. They lift the screen protector.
EDIT: Here are some pictures of the screen protector and the case. You can see that there's no lifting problem. By the way, pictures are made with Moto G5 Plus.

I like my P10 Lite, I find it a really nice, easy to use phone.
I am running Nova Launcher on mine though instead of Emui, but that is personal preference.
When I first got my phone I was supplied a screen protector, which I didnt like, due to the nature of the curved screen you either have to have a protector that sits just inside the edge of the screen or that slightly protrudes over the edge, both options to me didnt sit right.
My solution was to get a full wallet case to protect the screen. I chose the Nillkin Qin, as its got a tough back and nice soft area over the screen. I would recommend that case to all my friends https://www.amazon.co.uk/s/ref=nb_s...onics&field-keywords=Huawei+P10+Lite+qin+case
Hope that helps you decide

It may not have Gorilla Glass but I will pretty much guarantee it has some form of special glass. After all Gorilla is just a brand and I'm guessing they wanted to save money by going with a different manufacturer. There will always be cost-cutting measures when you're buying cheap phones. This is one of them.
My biggest gripes with the phone are: no IP rating, no USB-C and no regular software updates.
It's plenty fast, it actually has fast charging and it has a micro SD slot. You get a lot of phone for the price. I personally got mine on sale so even with the shortcomings: it was worth every penny.

I was considering buying a flip case, so that I can remove the screen protector, but I have read of quite a few accounts of dust getting between the case and the screen, which caused scratches on the screen. Not necessarily with the P10 Lite, but with other devices. I don't want to take that chance, but if I know that the screen can withstand getting easily scratched, I will be more than happy to remove my screen protector.

I went for the P10 lite just because the European version of the G5 doesn't have a 'compass' (only the USA version does) and if I'm not mistaken this is 'vital' if you want to use things like 'turn-by-turn directional orientated Sat-nav'
