Lost my phone a while back and just finished cleaning up my desk and found a Latter case laying around. Just pay for a beer and shipping and it's yours.

This worked out well for me...
A far easier method is to cut about an inch square piece off of a thin plastic shopping bag (the cheap ones) and put that in the hole where the stylus fits. This solved all my problems and has worked for about 10 months with no further issues.
Saves you having to dismatle phone :wink:
wrap a small piece of scotch tape around the stylus. That makes it slightly thicker, and it fits tighter in the slot.
I lost several styli, had bought a few replacement packages of them, before I did this.
Scoth tape worked best for me too. I originally tried high end duble stick tape, but this is way easier and loger lasting. I'm afraid to split this baby open. I have a Siemens SL56 that once I tore into it was never the same.
remove the battery cover and to the left theres two small openings, cut a piece of paper thats wide enough to fit in there and shove it in between the battery and the little black plastic things in that gap. Thats what i do and it's been holding ever since i had the stylis issue.
Getting the right thickness of the paper takes a little guess work but give it a shot and i'm sure you'll be pleased at the ease of solving the issue.
Enjoy
I did something even better IMHO
I skinned my QTEK 9100 and my Stylus...now it look great and it fits perfectly... I will post picture asap
I rang up O2. Explained that the mechanism for holding the Stylus had failed. Resulting in me losing both my stylus's. Ive had the phone since April.
They are sending me a new XDA with the standard accessories pack (containing 3 stylus) Once I send my XDA back. Could be free but I want peace of mind through special delivery!
They will return my replacement XDA in about 5 working days.
I was quite impressed with this service from O2.

Same here with t-mobile (UK) took it into one of their stores, they exchanged unit within 5 days.
the solution IS SKOTCH TAPE!
stylus remedy
same here, I'm okay with taking things apart, but puting things together...kinda risky, especially with my qtek 9100. So I took the easy way with sctotch tape. The only thing is to know how much tape need to be used to roll the stylus so that it will fit in the hole and yet still secure. maybe an inch or less for me. Seems that it will fix the problem. It's kinda irritating because I just bought 6 more stylus just in case. I should have check this out first before spending all that money on 6 stylus (styli?)
anyway, good luck
I'm with TMo USA and they'll replace the unit, but I have to buy the extra stylus because they consider it an accessory. Go figure! At any rate it'll cost me $15 USD to replace the unit (shipping costs) and $20 for the stylus pack.
Little ball of blu tak, push into hole with stylus.
Ta da, job done. Has been holding perfectly ever since.

I just ordered this case, so I cannot give any feedback yet however I do have a coupon code to get $30.00 off.
The case ended up being ~$25.00 shipped.
The coupon code is REDDIT30

Ordered! Thanks!
Thanks for posting this up, I just bit as well and picked one up. I hope its as good as it looks. I'll post up some feedback once I have it in hand.
On a side note you might want to make sure that you're using a unique password with their site as my email address and password where sent to me after creating a account suggesting that both are stored in plain text inside of their database.
Now you've done my head in (In a good way)
Was just about to take the plunge on a Portenzo, BUT NOW IVE SEEN THIS !
Don't know which one to get, only problem with this one is its plain, and the stand doesn't look very sturdy, and if its anything like the one I have now itll fall over with the slightest touch !
Wow, this looks really good AND THEY SHIP TO NEW ZEALAND!!
Now i have to decide between this and the Nillkin Smart Cover.
Cheers for the heads up!
I received the case yesterday and I'll say, for $25 bucks delivered, its an awesome case.
My only complaint is the way the cover flap snaps on. Its got two hooks on the outside that snap down over the back side cover. I'm trying to think of a way to engineer a better solution for closing the case. I think I'll remove the two hooks and make a latch in the center that holds it down. I'll post pics of the creation when I figure out the logistics and get it done.

Thanks for sharing this.
Whats wrong with the hooks? Does it not shut tightly? Also, will the case fold back flat onto itself for holding the tablet in portrait mode?

The hook are a little clunky because you have to pause for a moment after closing the case flap to make sure they both went on. I like it though; it keeps the flap closed but it doesn't really get in the way. I'm a little worried about the magnets though, as I've heard they can cause problems with the N7. Has anyone had any issues with them?
EDIT: Forgot to answer your other question. Yes, the flap will fold flat onto the back of the device.
bad case
Had the case only 2 weeks and the plastic clips that hold it closed broke. Contacted Devicewear and all they are doing is giving me the run around
O we have sent you emails but you have not responded. Funny i got that one though. when i responded back they just ignore you. This case is crap and the company has lost any future bis with me.
I'm trying to find a case/pouch for the note2 with a belt clip. I simply don't have the room in my pockets for the phone, but still need to carry it with me. I do NOT want something that attaches to the phone - I prefer using it naked.
So far, the only thing I've found is a case from PDAir: http://www.pdair.com/index.php/smar...g-galaxy-note-ii-n7100-book-type-black-1.html
When I had my original Note, I had the same case (but for the original note, of course) and it worked out fine. However, I'd like to know if there are any options outside of PDAir.
Any suggestions?
Thanks
Gary
Hi,
I have a similar case that I used for my GNote 1 and my GNote 2 fits in nicely. It's a bit less kinky as the PDAir but also it was also a lot cheaper.
You should be aware of one thing with these cases: one must slide in the phone with the power button upwards. If you don't and bent over, you push the phone down, the power button hits the bottom of the case and your phone will reboot...... With the power button upwards, this is not the case.
When you store the phone the other way around (power button up), you can have troubles with the 3.5 mm jack; it could be hidden by the side straps and you might need to make extra holes yourself.
I had a PDAir in the past for one of my Palm Treo's (I believe) and found them a bit thick. I don't know if it still is the case but I just mention it.
Bye,
Ton
I dont know if you did already, but a query on eBay gave me about 37 results. Enjoy!

Wow - I feel stupid for not checking fleabay.
In truth, I try to avoid using ebay... but for a cheap case it probably will be fine.
This is a great guide to repairing our Gear Live watches that may come in handy with the reports of broken charger tabs. It actually looks like a pretty easy job to replace the back cover providing that they're available to purchase.

If this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it to a more appropriate location.
A piece of plastic chipped off the back of my watch and the clasp on the left hand side of my charging dock broke yesterday. I have to use a piece of tape to hold watch against pins. That took only a month to happen. Pisses me off because I didn't listen to the reviewers or forums. Think I may grab a 360 if Samsung won't fix it. I bought it off eBay brand new last month, so I don't know how that's all gonna work. You pay $250 (or whatever the final price is) and the back is plastic as well as the charging dock. Live and learn I guess. I still love the hell out of the watch, but DEFINETELY see this same exact thing happening to a lot of folks.
Hello,
I don't know if this is the right place where to ask,but I wanna try to ask here. One of my friend two years ago bought the "samsung galaxy s6 edge". Now the battery is broken and he should find a on line place to change it with a new battery,without to pay a big amount of money to make the operation. Do you know where he could go ? He tried to go in local shops but they asked to him a lot of money. Take also in consideration that it is a relatively easy operation to do...thanks
If the battery is swollen, or the phone looks fat, other components may have already been damaged. Do -not- try to charge it. Buy the correct official battery (one that has been very recently manufactured and the two adhesive strips if not already included), the adhesive layer for the back glass (or a brand new back glass with adhesive already attached) and do it yourself.
It is not simple. You must do research, don't rush things and even then you risk breaking the back glass, wireless charging pad, main board, OLED display/digitizer/front glass (while removing battery due to the adhesive), various ribbon cables, connectors and other parts. It is the only way to potentially save money (but not time). Videos are here. You will also want to test functionality of the USB port and wireless charging pad.
Otherwise, contact Samsung directly and send it in.

I'm not sure if this is relevant but it took me 15 minutes with a suction cup and a Phillips 00 screwdriver and a $10 oem new battery. Just buy a new back glass for another $10 if you dont want to be careful with it. Check ebay. I swear its not that hard just take your time once it's open to not break cables.
