Avoid BESTBUY Platinum kickstand case Serio - Galaxy Note5 Accessories

I've always been a fan of these cases AKA Seidio Surface but unfortunately when the kickstand is used for landscape mode the video is upside down. Yep the damn kickstand opens the wrong way.... obviously they don't test out their products before putting it out for retail.

I'm not having that issue at all. I've played videos with the stock samsung video player and VLC and neither have issues playing either way I rotate it. You might want to make sure your Rotation Lock isn't on. I work at Best Buy and the kickstand is the same as it was on the S6 and Note 4.

Unfortunately the MLB at bat app only plays one way in landscape.. I was basing my post on that app

I have the case and it works perfectly. I also did a video review on it. Is this the same one?https://youtu.be/Hzw-rrSMfkA

Yes that's the case, awesome overall case. I guess the problem I talked is isolated to that one app I mention which I was able to correct the issue by downloading a force rotation app and set it "reverse landscape"
But anyway I love this case maybe I jump the gun when I made this thread. .. definitely don't avoid it as the title states.

Sorry to hear, but this sounds like a personal problem and does not affect the case at all.

Learn to edit before you bad mouth a product due to your intelligence, or therefore, the lack of it.

This is hilarious

I love sedio cases. They are the best, period, but I noticed this the second it was unboxed in the video in another post on this board. There's a standard landscape orientation and the case doesn't conform to the standard. I have what is essentially the exact same case for my old note 3, it does conform to the standard. There's no defensible reason for changing it and MLB will be far from the only app affected.

Thanks for clarifying it saying it better than I could, of course people on XDA rather be jerks and blow off what I said and start critiquing.
Actually im loving the case might still keep it but I'm just bringing up a flaw in the kickstand.

You may just wanna edit the title of your post man. I was thinking about getting this case, and if I hadn't read through all this thread and just looked at the title and OP, I may have figured it was no good.

I would edit the title and remove "avoid" but both Chrome browser or Tapatalk doesn't allow editing of titles.

i have had the note 5 and case from best buy
since Friday and i just realized today that if you place the phone in holster with the screen out there is a separate kickstand on the clip it self that you can rotate . i actually thought i broke the clip the first time i did it but its made that way hope this helps.

Which Case?

Surely there is a universal truth now on which case you have to go with or a narrowed down list. I also want a case that doesn't scratch the phone itself. I was reading that was a problem on few of the cases. Recommendations?

Note 2 Otterbox Defender Case Review

I've been waiting for this to turn up for ages and I finally got my hands on the Otterbox Defender last night. It really does add some weight and bulk to the phone but of course offers the protection a lot of people are looking for. I personally like the look of the grey case but the wait for that is still about a month I believe.

Any word on the commuter?

I personally prefer the commuter, I will be reviewing it as soon as it arrives. I didn't expect to the defender till mid December so I can't say when I'll get my commuter unfortunately.
With a case like the Defender I would probably drop my phone on purpose just so I can feel good about walking around with a case that big.

I did it all the time with my iPhone 4. Lol. I'd drop it on the concrete floor at work from eye level (I'm 6'4" ) because people wouldn't believe the case was that good, then THEY were the ones that would freak when I let it go haha

Yeah some of the Youtube videos of drop tests are scary to watch the first time, proves the case does it job though I guess.
I have been tempted to do my own drop tests on video but at the same time I'm too scared it will break lol

My new Nexus 4 has..feet?

I just received my new N4 from an RMA and noticed that there are now what appear to be two small bumps at the bottom of the just beneath the glass back. At first I only saw one and thought it was an imperfection but then I noticed the other in the exact same location on the opposite side. My old N4 doesn't have this. I'm guessing this was done to keep the glass from making contact with debris when it's laid on it's back, thus reducing potential scratches and damage. So is this new or did I miss something? Anyone else have these on their device?
I attached an image to show what I'm talking about. The extra layer you see on the rear of the phone is my dbrand skin.

Thanks for the video. Friday's almost here!
I didn't realize they put the power button on the top left. That's a weird spot to put it...I do like that they put the proximity sensors on the left side of the front. That is a major design flaw on my s3 at the moment (every time I'm on a phone call and I try to swipe down notifications, screen will turn off since it registers my thumb.)

This was the same problem with the EVO 4G LTE. I'd always end up tripping the proximity sensor when I swiped down the notification bar during calls and what not. I like the new position, and it adds a little more industrial aspect to the overall look of the handset.

Because of the curved back, I'm guessing it's a bajillion times more comfortable to hold in your hand, no ?

explicit, how is that battery holding up?
Also, it might be a network issue, but my LTE would have trouble with incoming texts that are more than 160 chars. So I would receive the 2nd text first, then the initial text would come in second. (When one long text gets broken down into 2). I was wondering if the One did this too.
