Question Vivo X Fold + - Vivo X Fold

When I first set my eyes on the original Vivo X Fold I fell in love with it since I am a big fan of folding phablets. The design, the specs and performance, everything was perfect. I bought the phone and worked around everything to customize it but unfortunately the Chinese rom made it so difficult to fine tune the phone to come close to my Z Fold 4.
Then I got to know that they are creating a refined version of the phone so I got more interested although the differences were not many but it was worth it.
The plus version definitely has a much improved inner screen crease. It's barely noticeable and that's really worth it.
The charging speed was bumped to 80W and they managed to fit in a slightly larger 4730 mah battery.
The new Red color version has a darker black chassis body compared to the Grey version which I really think looks sleeker and I decided to add a textured matte black skin on the back to make it look bolder and I'll replace the camera lens skin with clear protection.
They managed to fix the VoLTE and VoNR issue which many complained about. Now it's working on all carriers without issues.
Some people say android auto is working but it's not working for me but I'm gonna try connecting wirelessly because the problem seems to be an issue with usb connection, I'm just waiting for the wireless adapter to arrive.
Notifications appear immediately but only when the phone is unlocked. I tried everything to make notifications appear when the phone is locked on the lockscreen but I failed.
Everything seems the same like the original but the crease and battery improvements were very tempting for me to switch to the plus.
Any thoughts for others who made this change?

Thanks for sharing. How long does the battery last? And can you share more pictures of the crease?

Thanks for the quick review, I'm using the original blue one and love it, so far the only issue with me is the Google Messages for sending the MMS text... I like the new version too but I will save money and wait for the Fold 2, hope they get the same Uder Display Fingerprint like the X80 Pro, at least 5000 mah battery and Quad Speaker

HTC 2150 + Dremel + VZW Red Case

I got my HTC 2150mAH battery today from VZW. It's HUGE, but I've been thinking about how to make it more streamlined since I heard about it. Enter my dremel work.
Dremel out the rear of the VZW snap case to match the bulge on the new battery door. Sand it down smooth, and here you have it. It's pretty nice feeling, and it doesn't bulge out too much. It's still bulkier than before, however if you had a protective case already it isn't much of a difference.
Now, my phone looks good and holds a charge longer.

NOTE:
Decided to meet some of the demand and offer my modding to you guys.
I will do this on a per request basis for $45 including the case, and $25 if you mail me the case yourself. This includes shipping the case to you (you pay for shipping to me). If I grab the case myself, I simply run to the VZW store and pick on up, and this saves you on shipping to me.
PM me if you want me to do this. Just give me about 5 days or so turnaround time, as I have full time obligations elsewhere.
where did you order this battery? i want one?
Best looking one I've seen yet. You should buy a bunch of those cases and modify them for sale.
At $20-$30 per case, plus the time to modify them it wouldn't be worth it to both buyer and myself. If anyone wants, send me the money and I can do it on a need basis, but I'm not going to stock these.
nice work man!
I did something very similar with mine!!!! I just cut the back out of the black silicone case so the battery sticks through the back...it looks 10x better now and I will be keeping my 2150 because of it. If people want pics of this let me know.

Could you post up some pictures? The red case looks good but I'm wondering if the black case looks even better since the the phone is already black and it might blend in better.
Could you post pics I have the same case, but I'm iffy about getting the battery.
What happens to the antenna in the modified case?
I was told after checking the original back casing that the antenna is part of the backing. Now that the case has been altered did anyone think to look where the antenna is laying now. You have to look very close at the inside of the back of the case to see that the antenna was embedded and camouflaged. How is the reception?
I noticed that there are cheap Dremels on sale online. Is it ok to use a crappy cordless one for this task, since there really isn't much material to remove?
I don't have my other camera at work so I had to use the camera on the phone using a mirror. I'll try to remember to take a better pictures or pictures sometime. It looks nice though, it doesn't look silly anymore.

Verizon is accepting phone orders of the battery. I recieved mine yesterday it feels great not having to run to a charge 49% battery ( 6:57am last charge to now 11:13pm )
that's 16 hours of moderate use and still no urgency to plug it in lmao
No takers on the Antenna question.
Got the new battery and case backing yesterday. Sure enough the antenna is mounted covertly in the center of the back of the case on the inside as is the standard one. So if the stylish have decided to cut away this area what trick was employed to replace the Antenna? How is the reception? Also, the idea of shaving down the power button is neat. Does it have a height limitation? It should have been done in the original design since it can be bumped when inside of a case which will keep initiating the screen power. Battery drain!!!!
that looks badass!!!!

Duh--it didn't even occur to me to just buy a soft case. While it's always fun to play with power tools, this will be easier on the wallet. Can anyone recommend a cheap source to buy a soft/easily altered case?

SGP Ultra Capsule real life pictures

as promised, here are the pictures we were talking about on the other topic.
i've been using it for 3 months now, i doubt you'll find another case that fits as perfect as the SGP well worth the $20
it comes with a screen protector as well

Rearth Ringke - Silicone Case for Motorola Motoroi XT720
I just noticed this one while looking at the SGP (Also available in bright purple). It seems to crawl further over the screen and covers/protects some buttons. Anyone know what the big button next to the volume buttons does on the Motoroi?

very nice find
However.... according to the pictures, and my SGP case
it seems to point out the 4 touch buttons will be under the plastic
but never the less, it's a very good alternative, specially the purple colour one

It looks like a voice command button. Whatever it is, it is definitely missing from the XT720

I think that's not too big a problem since the case is silicone, so I suspect you can press the buttons. They seem to thin the case out there so that the lights show through. They do something similar with all the other buttons, too (volume etc). They're covered with a thiner region of silicone. The only holes are the proximity sensors, and where jacks go in (headphones, USB, HDMI, speaker, microphone, strap) and whatever that big button-looking thing is that isn't on our phone. The korean text says "DMB" there which based on some quick googling refers to the Motoroi's TV tuner--it's strange that everything else is covered, so perhaps that's a place you attach an antenna or something. It's interesting. I sort of feel like the silicone coming so close to the edge of the screen might interfere with using the scrollbar depending on how "sticky" the silicone is.
Got mine from Ebay. Very fast Delivery. 7 days from Korea to Singapore.
hey guys,
there's a new case design from SGP, it looks really interesting. have a look here.

how abt org a bulk purchase for SG users...
@Spiderx_mm: look nice
@hermes76: good idea, i can safely say that non of the HP shops here sell case for our phone. The should know that not everyone using I'crap'Phone.
1. count me in
the gap thats ontop of the volume buttons is for the DMB button
aka Digital media broadcast button aka tv button
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Digital_Multimedia_Broadcasting
yeap, most Japanese phones and Korean phones have build in TVs
for times cases exactly like what is happening right now in Japan
the TV does not require 3G, it is over the air like good old antennae TV, but it's Digital
Count me in too,if u guys are serious abt ordering the sgp case altogether.
How much did u pay in total?(Including every single cost) in Sing dollars?
For those who wants to order the SGP ultra capsule for Motoroi, better buy the new black leather case also from SGP. The rubber capsule doesn't look and feel as premier as the phone, so you decide.

Just thought I would put my 2 cents in, the case is great and fits very well, I got one from korea through ebay and it came with a screen protector which is also really good. Very sturdy best case I have ever had for a phone.
One thing to keep in mind, the extra distance that the usb flap has to travel caused mine to fall off, not really an issue for me as I found it a little annoying but I would still like it to be on my phone if given a choice. Also the phone "feels" a little plasticy once you install it, it is a totally psychological thing but the phone does not feel as elegant once its on.
All in all tops
Oh, so I got this a little bit ago finally after about 5 weeks shipping. The case itself was a good fit for the most part, except for on the side where one part was popping out and not fitting tightly on like the rest of the case. Whether this was something to do with the way the case was packaged/stored or some other reason I don't know. After working with and trying to squeeze that part to fit, it's not as bad -though it still sticks out a bit. Probably will be fully gone once I wrap something around it and leave it on for a good little while (like an elastic wound tightly would probably do it).
Other than that, the case fits well. But the places around openings (i.e. camera button, power button, etc...) seem roughly cut and unpolished, though it isn't a very big deal, just slight quibble (and may just be mine).
The screen protector which comes with it is not as special as advertised I think, but it does the job and has a good smooth feel to it - and cleans more easily, so I like it.
The thing is, while the case looks nice, fits nice etc... the phone just looks and feels so much better without it on (slimmer, sleeker, nicer to hold etc...), so when I don't need the protection I take it off. But definitely a worthwhile purchase nonetheless.
I am getting my xt720 this week and am now looking for a case. i would really like to get a sgp capsule in black, though it seems like they discontinued this colour and now only sell blue and red.
any news on that front?
thx

Has anyone tried this specific "smart cover" case?

I looked around for smart covers on ebay and found the cover below. It doesn't fold around like this case does and in general looks more stable judging by the pictures (they could be wrong though).
Have any of you tried it? I have not found a review of it yet but I figured it might be worth asking.

Yes I have this case, I tell you its a beautiful case to hold and look at. There are other colour variants available which I got the red one.
Its very sleek, doesn't add much weight or bulk to the device.
The sleep functions works brilliantly, and doesn't lock the device when you fold it over to hold like a book, which some do.
ONE DOWNSIDE!!!! - The stand is very hard to figure out (i have not yet figured how to fold it to make it stand up haha !)
Hope this helps answer your questions.
And I genuinly recommend this case as its ace ! (that rhymes weee)

Yeah the coloured variants have a lip that does go round the back, but its not noticeable and surely you want this to keep it nicely closed and secure?

I think it's noticeable, especially when I have that extra flap to fold back over when I'm using the N7 in my hand.
I want to keep it closed and secure, sure, when it's in a bag or something. But my N7 spends most of its time on my coffee table or bar; I'd love to have a slim case with just a flap over the screen to keep the dust out. That doesn't cost $30+ like the Poetics or Portenzos of the world.

So do you have this exact case or not? I've seen the other ones and I'm not interested in them after reading the reviews. That's why I started a new thread about this one. If you do have this one, some pictures would be great.
I went and ordered one of these, but likely won't have it for a couple of weeks since it's coming from China. Will post my impressions when it arrives.

That's a different case, with the wrap-around flap on the right side. I already have that one.
look, heres the deal, that case may look pretty but any case like that wont stay closed. for it to be closed, there would have to be magnets along the edges like the portfolio. any case maker that says the case will stay closed without magnets on the border is lying.
I own one and its awesome. Buy it.

I have to admit, I never really liked these cases... but after seeing that YouTube review online, I'm curious enough to give it a shot.
I'm absolutely in love with this Speck case, but I do have a minor concern with it. I use my Nexus 7 frequently, very frequently, and not only that but I use it for work. I'm continually walking up and down the hall at work going from one problem to another, using my N7 along the way. As a result, I'm concerned I may wear out the clip on the Speck case quite a bit. This only became a thought when I realized the clipping mechanism is significantly easier now than it was when I bought it. Broken in? Maybe. Will it get even softer? Very possible. This case ensures that won't happen since the magnets of course don't have physical contact to wear like that. While the higher stand up position seems a bit easy to topple over, the other one with the N7 (one I'd likely prefer anyway) looks a bit better in terms of stability.
At any rate, ah, I bought one just now - we'll see what happens when it gets here.
Edit - for what it's worth the one I ordered did indeed have the magnetic flap that goes around back to ensure it stays shut. I'm not sure I'd consider one without...
Case arrived today, so far I like it, the cover lies flatter than the eBay case with the extra flap, and it feels slimmer. Only downside so far is that it sometimes puts the tablet to sleep when I fold it back. We'll see if it gets better over time. I'll try to take pictures when I have a chance.

maybe slip something to block the magnet on the back? not sure what can maybe help on that front, but maybe a little thickness might be enough.
Side note, anyone have this and the poetic slimline case? I got the first case they had for my uncle, but it's a bit difficult for him to open. I'd get him a portenzo like mine, but it might actually add more bulk than I'd want for him.

Here is a case with charger!

that's pretty cool. Could be useful for power burners and really long trips or days. And $23 is pretty cheap.

Looks like they dont want you talking on the phone with this thing..
On a side note: how do these things actually work? Does it constantly keep your phone in charging mode (until the external battery is drained)? or does the phone use your main battery, THEN switch to the external battery (or vice versa)? (sorry I have never used one of these on any phone...only seen them for crapple phones)
Just ordered one will update when tested out.....

This looks very interesting. I'd be interested to see how it works for you.
It looks a little awkward to get the phone in and out without damaging the usb plug.

When turned on, the external case battery pack will keep the phone battery charged until it's depleted.

I don't think it is a good idea using a case like this since it does nothing to protect the front glass edges of the Note 2 since it is snapping on primarily through the back. If you drop your Note 2 with this on, there is a good chance it will be against the front edges of the glass display and the notable amount of added weight increases the chance of cracking. It is much better to have a standard case that provides a lip and get a cheap $10 spare battery.

To my surprise when I went to fold the cover close it wouldn't close. the battery/cover hits the screen of the phone. If you press hard it will lie flat but there is no clasp to close it. The guy at the store couldn't figure it out either. It seemed like a totally terrible design.

I have had a similar one for a while now , in white color costs about 30$ here in singapore , its quite good and sturdy , the drawback mainly is that you cant remove the stylus when you have this case on . but otherwise the case and the battery is good hope we get a better design with the option to remove the spen or hook it up somewhere in the case should also be fine.. instead of in the phone..
Found this by accident while searching for a charger. $25 + $2 shipping. Available in black or white. Built in kickstand.

I just ordered the case that the OP posted. I will let you know as well how I like it. It isn't the perfect design but for the basic functionality of having an extra battery built into the case is good enough for me. The factory battery is already pretty good if you know how to maximize the life of it. I won't use the case everyday, but only during those times when I really need a extra long battery life and don't have access to a charger. And for just under $25 it looks like a good deal to me
Thanks for sharing OP

Doesn't look like there are any cutouts for the mic.

Looking carefully at the picture at the posted URL, it looks like there is a little dimple where the mic is so you can talk. But it appears to cover the Spen completely.

Review: Sony Xperia X Performance Case SCR56

Just got hold of the new Xperia SCR56 case for the X performance, the case was and still in limited supply worldwide since the launch of the phone mid of last month, Finally got hold of the Rose Gold color version.
Front flip cover is made of soft rubbery PC type material, center part being thicker to fit within the frame of the case, whiles the edge of the flip cover is slightly thinner to overlap the edge of the case, well the design isn't good, as the phone thickness makes the flip cover stick slightly out of the case.
You get a matt finished surface and seethrough display, there is a big cut out on the covers for the sensors, front camera and one speaker, the top part is cut out so big, that it isn't really neccessory, but I think the purpose was to show the Sony brand name without having to etched the Sony name on the flip cover, the bottom has a cut out for the other speaker. Inside the flip cover is a magnet sensor to connect to the phone.
The main body of the case is a plastic frame covered with soft PU leather material, smal cut out for the headphone socket, mic, large cut out from the USB area and a large cut out for the power button, but no cut out for the camera and volume button, inside the case is layared with a soft felt material and within the case there is a NFC tag to enable the style cover app on the phone.
Back has one cutout from the camera and LED which they are separated with a plastic frame.
The phone fits in the case quite well, even if you use a full coverage PET protector, you shouldn`t have problems with the edge lifting, but the use of a glass protector is a no go, it will be too thick, and you probably won't be able to close the cover, it's also best to turn on the glove mode whiles using the cover, as the sensitivity isn't that good, and you do get a slight lag.
You won't get much features with the case, but you do lose one feature, so if you love the double tap wake up, it won't work, and to get the extra feature you need to enable the NFC for a one off connection, this will bring out the style cover icon into the menu, then the NFC can be switched off. The only feature you will get is a brightness control whiles the cover is closed, there is 4 settings from OFF, LOW, MEDIUM and HIGH. This only adjust the brightness whiles the cover is opened or closed.
You can use the cover even without enabling this feature, but the brightness does not change.
Overall the cover is well built but not worth the money, probably best to wait for a knock off, unbranded or a third party brand case that offers the feature at a much lower price.
On the side note if you do want to get one, I can say the black is probably the best choice, the other three color will probably get dirty or stained quickly if you have them in your jeans.
Here is some photo's for you to see, and please don't ask for a link, there is no link available.

Many sony stores don't mail outside of there country, how are you liking it, do you get the lag, or sometimes no reaction to touch.

They are starting to roll out, just give it some time, although many places are still limited in stock.

Confusion on sony xperia x cases...
i just browsed sony web site and i found out two model of cases being released for xperia x models...
im a little bit confused about these cases...
scr50 - tells its for xperia x
scr56 - tells its for xperia x performance
i looked both pictures on google
PHYSICALLY, the design is almost the same, also every opening and side cuts are the same.
then both features are also the same...
touch sensitive cover and NFC one-touch pairing.
so is there any difference between this two cases? or just the same?

you get which ever one is for your phone.
Is it any dull in there or can we never open the case and watching videos with great picture?
I am hoping that there is no need to open the case ever!
this thing is over 60$... I dont think so... not worth it.. too dam expensive... even if i had 100$ i wouldnt pay that much
