Sinjimoru Sinji Wallet Pouch Review + Pics - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Hello, this is my first review of any thing. It is on the sinjimoru sinji adhesive wallet type pouch available on amazon here :
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005ZVVJ1I/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8 . It is about $10 USD.
I originally bought this item because I didn't really have the need for a wallet (I only carry a credit card and ID). Being able to combine my phone and money seemed very convenient to me. It arrives in pretty plain packaging and is very easy to install, peel the plastic attatched to the adhesive part and apply.
At first, it worked great. It looked smooth, and had a very nice deep black color. It felt sturdy and was very stuck onto the back of my phone. It could carry a whole spare anker battery a little snug and a few cards plus some earbuds with ease.
2 months later, here I am. It has discolored and turned almost a navy color. It has gathered a lot of fuzzy little material now and looks very unattractive. It is even ripping at a seam. It still does it's job of holding things and is still very sticky to the back of my otterbox commuter.
Overall, I would rate this item a 2/5. It looks great at first, and does it's job, but becomes very ugly after a month or two. I hope my review helped. I would not recommend buying this product.

I don't have a long term use experience with Cosmos 3x of adhesive pouches I got from Amazon ($5.99 for a pack of 3), but I decided to apply it in a different way inside of the holster. Here is my setup: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=39174277&postcount=45
Will start using it once it gets warmer outside and my winter jacket is off I figured pouch itself will not be in contact with my pocket, so less wear'n'tear!

Any thoughts on putting the Sinji pouch (or similar type of stick on wallets) with a bumper frame case? I'm thinking the bumper frame lip will help recess the Sinji pouch nicely.
Put this directly on the back of the phone.

Use a bumper case like this that has no back

{Q]Where to get Samsung d30 Case

Looking for the d30 Case that Samsung advertised with the Tab launch. I tried ordering it from fommy.com but what they shipped is the Easel Case. Unfortunately after confirming the sku, the Easel Case is all they have, thus sending this back. Anyone have one of these or know where to get one? Here's a link to some photos of it.
http://www.fommy.com/view-full-page...model=Samsung+GALAXY+Tab+GT-P1000&skuno=89875
Again, photos on this site are incorrect. They do not actually have this.
Most uscellular stores carry these.
Thanks, but looks like none in my vicinity. Also not listed on their website. Anywhere else? I'm on the East Coast, USA.
I dont like the case as it partially covers up the 4 main buttons on the bottom. Maybe i got a bad one but to use it properly i am going to have to do a bit of modding to it.
The cases we received in Norway (official Samsung case) are slightly different. There is no leather covering the front of the Tab at all. It is held in with plastic corners that grab the edge of the Tab itself. Very nice and very thin. The back is plastic and the front is leather.

I have the Samsung d30 case, and I'd personally not bother if I was to do it again.
Whilst mine fits ok in the case, when I try to use it as a stand it is pretty useless.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks, that's the leather snap on case. We have that here as well. Originally wanted a full book style case, but am now rethinking it. I picked up a cheap but nice padded pouch that fits the Tab great. Now am thinking to just get a snap on to protect the back like the one you posted. In any case, this new case will carry me over for now. Here are some snaps. Paid $14 at Wally World (Walmart)

Any cheap (faux?) leather cases that you have experience with?

I just got the Dell Streak (craigslist trade - week old Dell Streak for a Nook Color). Really like it! Great all round device (web, media, ereader, etc). Only currently using it as a tablet.
I have only one problem. The case selection is very small, and the leather cases are very expensive.
The only leather cases here that people are recommending are $40-50 dollars or more. The is not the experience I'm used to, since with past phones/devices there have usually been cheap alternatives more in the $25 dollar range (obviously lower quality than a $50 dollar case).
Question: Has anyone had any experience with any of the cheaper alternatives on ebay (or else where) that range from $12 to $25? I've looked around the internet and here for quite a while and have found nothing so far.
I have found a thread about a cheap leather pouch, but this isn't really ideal. I prefer something that is designed for the phone to be used without removal.
Thanks!
Just found this one:

Well, that case at least had one review. I ordered it and should arrive tomorrow. Ill report on build quality.
Received the case and had a few days to use it. It's... ok. The protection is decent. The cut outs for everything are doable, except the camera, the hole is measured pretty poorly. The phone has to be removed from the case for the camera to be used. The cut out for the screen is almost fine, with it cutting off the bottom of the screen slightly if pushed firmly in, but the phone can be shifted ever so slightly up, while still remaining snug in the case. The kickstand works, but when tucked in makes the phone tilt up when laid flat on it's back (the opposite way you want it to tilt a little if there is going to be any tilting).\
So, the case is "ok", and would be fine for an ebay case that cost 8-10 bucks. But for $25 it's not worth it, and it makes more sense to spend $20 more dollars and get one of the really good leather cases... which is what I'm doing. I'm returning it and have a tuff luv case on the way.
Sorry to waste your time.
I'm thinking about getting this leather case or just otterbox case. Probably I'll choose otterbox now.
No worries! It was a good try.
I have this one and it works pretty well.

[Review] Moko Slim Shell Folio

While searching for a case that's slim, good looking, folio, and doubles as a stand I stumbled upon the Moko Slim Shell Folio on Amazon. Others suggested the Moko Slim Fit which didn't seem slim at all, and the Poetic case which I ordered first. I found the Poetic case to be unnecessarily thick on the back piece and it just felt cheap overall. Compared to the Poetic the Moko Slim Shell felt better made, the plastic case was noticeably thinner, and although similar to the Poetic in appearance, the subtle changes make it look more premium. Just like all other cases with a "smart cover" it doubles as a stand in two positions; a more laid back typing position, and a vertical position for watching movies or playing games. It triggers the sensor on the Nexus 7 perfectly to put it to sleep when closed and wake when opened. The previous version of the case had an issue where the device would go to sleep when folding the cover all the way back, but it has been revised and no longer suffers from that issue. Lastly the case comes with a lifetime warranty from BSCstore and at $15.99 it is almost $10 cheaper than the Poetic, so there is no comparison in my opinion.

Lifetime warranty they say so it doesn't matter, if you have a problem you just get another.
It does look good, the price seems to be fine... I'm just wondering if the front glass will get scratched in time from the metal thingy on the front cover..

That was my only worry but the magnet on the case part is slightly raised so the metal tab doesn't come into contact with the glass.
Bought this for my wife for Christmas. There was still an issue with the magnet turning the screen off when it was opened all the way. Emailed the original seller about it and they said it was a defective unit that was missing the shielding. They're now sending me a replacement for her, one for me, and gave me instruction on how to remove the magnet from the old one to use as an interim case while waiting on my replacements.

[Case] Targus Safeport Rugged Max Pro - Galaxy Tab 3 10.1

I have a number of Galaxy Tab 3 10.1's in an enterprise environment that isn't kind to electronics. The GT3 10.1's work great and are cheap compared to other devices or even the more defacto enterprise hero, the iPad.
The problem I've had since getting a hold of the device is getting ruggedized cases for it. I've tried the Gumdrop rugged case (and probably should post a review thread of it) but I wanted something more serious looking and less like the tread of a tire. That's where the Targus Safeport case came in.
I'm pretty sure these things aren't technically sold by Targus in the US. I've found them on their official EU site but they don't sell direct. I bought 11 from Buy.com recently for about $65 a piece. They float around the internet on a few sites, although I probably hope none of you buy them since I may need them all.
The case is pretty beefy and has a built in screen protector. It's rated for a 4ft to concrete drop rating (which I'm positive we'll test in my environment). It lists wind, rain, and dust ratings although I'm skeptical on those just based on the hole for the home button in the screen protector.
It's a 3 piece case with a rubber inner shell, the snap on screen protector, then the hard exterior shell. It has covers over the headphone and power ports. The IR port is opened but sealed with a material similar to the screen protector. All the buttons are appropriately raised and seem to function just as well as when they were uncovered. The speaker grills are on the front and covered with a black fine grill mesh to probably keep that dust rating. The giant hole in the back is covered with the same material as the screen cover. I'm guessing Targus must have a connector that snaps in the circular hole. I think I've seen the same hole on the iPad case they sell.
Overall I'm happy to find the case. I'm worried it's going to be hard getting as many as I really want. So I'll probably be begging Targus for a bulk order or buying every last one on the Internet.
If you have any questions about it please ask.

Artech 21 Rugged Case Review

I was provided a case by Artech 21 to test, here is my review:
If you're looking for a rugged case that will protect your Note 5 from the bumps and falls of everyday life, this case from Artech 21 will get the job done. At just under $10, it does it for a fraction of the price of most cases out there as well.
I chose the orange case to go with my gold Note 5, and it compliments my phone very well. The case follows the design of a few others by snapping into the front piece, then the back piece goes around it. The front does have a built in screen protector. I have a tempered glass protector on my phone, but functionally was not affected, including that of the S Pen. Access to the S Pen with the case is also fairly easy, while still providing a good amount of protection around it.
One thing I noticed about this case that others don't seem to have, is an indentation below the home button. This makes unlocking the phone very easy. This is done while still providing a full lip around the front in case of a fall. Another thing I really like about this case is how well the port covers stay in. This is nice as I have wireless chargers and Bluetooth earbuds, so I don't use the phone ports. Wireless charging does work with this case (official Samsung charger), as well as Android Pay.
The back is a hard plastic, with rubber around the edges to wrap around the side of the phone. The grooves on the sides provide excellent grip. The back of the case shows no wear after several days use, including a camping trip. This is more than likely due to the fake rivets/screws on the back that the case sits on. The one thing I would change with this case would be to have those rivets/screws made of a more rubber material for slightly better grip to the surface. The case, even as bright as it is, does affect the camera, even with the protective lip.
Overall, this was my first experience with Artech 21, and they left me impressed. I will definitely look their way when I decide to add to my Note 5 case collection in the future.
