Bigger pictures on my blog.

http://chrismchoi.blogspot.com/2012/11/review-seidio-active-combo-note-ii.html

Seidio has done it again! Seidio is well known for their line of high quality cases.

They are well known for their Surface and Covert cases. They also just released the OBEX system that protects the phone from water, dust, snow, sand, mud and other liquids.

What we are reviewing today is their Active Combo with Metal Kickstand. It's the perfect case for active lifestyles without adding unnecessary bulk while maintaining maximum protection. It's dual-layered with an inside layer of polymer for grip and an outer hard shell for impact protection.

The rubber like polymer does not attract as much dust as the lower end cases. This is a true premium feature I have always favored from Seidio. The hard shell also had their signature rubberized feel. Both items of the dual-layer system have a premium feel and are soft to the touch.

The kickstand has a little magnet that holds it in. The finish is great and stable. It's a solid case.

The spring holster is the holster we've all come to know and love. They carried over the rugged design with all their holsters. It features excellent retention and will not snap on you like other holsters. It features an adjustable swivel clip that will rotate a fluid 360 degrees.

The Seidio Active Combo is only $54.95.

The Seidio Active Case is available as a stand alone product for $34.95.

The Seidio Active Holster is available separately for $29.95.

Conclusion:

Highly recommended. Another Seidio product that will gain much popularity due to quality and function.

I have yet to be let down by Seidio's products as they have always been in my top 3 case companies. I always wait for Seidio to offer me a solution.

I will also be working on a video review for this case. Keep an eye out for it. I'll post a link when it's finished.

Hit thanks if you got something from this review! Means I'm doing something right and I'll keep doing them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] He123321:
What is the overall fit, and finish of the combo? Any gaps, or uneven lines?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] UpsideDownAce:
Been waiting for a review of one of these! Thanks :D
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Cab121:
I am waiting for mine to arrive. Its in blue. Spent days and days sifting threw china cases and landed on this. I have had Seidio in the past and was very happy with it. I can also post a few pics here if its ok with the OP to add to the thread. Thanks for the review .
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrischoi:
Fit and finish is great. I've personally never had an issue with the Seidio Actives. Had all the different colors on my Evo, Epic and 3D. Might just grab one for the S3 now. It's a snug fit and the cuts are nice and even. There is no play or any gaps.

I don't mind at all. It's a community here. We all share here.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Xelstyle:
Great review, Much appreciated. I'm hoping that for your video review, you could focus on things like the durability of the stand, strength of the magnet that holds it in, lint attracting ability of the rubber inside layer, and general thickness/size comparison.

Just some ideas; I look forward to it.

[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrischoi:
Good points. I'll be sure to note that down.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] akamara13:
The OBEX case is simply an Otterbox.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] ehupp01:
Got mine and fit and finish is great. Very happy overall. :good:
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrischoi:
No. Otterbox cases are not waterproof, they are water resistant.

They are not dust proof or sealed into the case. Dust infiltrates the phone inside the case. OBEX is a sealed solution. The Commuter is comparable to the Active.

The Defender to the Covert. I feel the Covert is far superior as it's a 3 layer design and absorbs more shock than any Otterbox.

Thanks for your thoughtful insight. It was truly a game changer.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Sammath:
I want to order one but the shipping prices to the Netherlands are ridiculous man. 28 frigging dollars!

Even with the current exchange rates, that price is just insane adding up to the case itself :(.

Is it really worth it?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrischoi:
I say yes, just because I don't like TPU cases. You don't have to go through the case being so tight fitting that it takes the battery cover off when you remove the case.

All of mine have held up. The polymer never wore out or got sticky. Maybe get a local seller to get a hold of them? Maybe someone here can get one and ship it to you.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] MaStA819:
Thank you for posting a review on this. I'm waiting to see what other cases get released from the name brand manufacturers and hopefully we will see some sales to come over the next month or two.

Could you possibly take a picture with the phone out of the case along with the case laying beside the phone to see how much bulk/thickness is added with the case?

Thank you much.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] PrO...:
I'm interested in just the case.Is it ideal for pocket carry or does it add too much bulk?
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] nicregi:
Excellent time for the review! I am planning to place an order and yes, I am thankful for your review!

p/s: Does the magnetic kickstand affects the s pen? Myth myth...
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrischoi:
I haven't noticed anything yet.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] planoman:
Nice Review and Pics. The active combo and the surface combo are now available on Android Central at a pretty good discount compared with Seidio's website. Might save you a few bucks if you are interested.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Hell Guardian:
What are the advantages of that case over something like this

http://www.ebay.com/itm/For-SAMSUNG...399354?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item416e4cc5ba

And its for the fraction of that price
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] busab:
Probably no real difference. Other than the one you posted the link to is fugly Imo. :p
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrischoi:
It adds 2mm. You shouldn't notice it. With the size of the Note, if you do notice it you need a smaller phone. Lol.

What I've learned with anything I buy, buy the tried and true the first time around. You'll buy that one, then replace it with a nicer one. I've been through this with every phone, car and personal items I buy. The stand just looks horrible. It's a cheap shortcut to designing a stand system.

The holster is hard to use. Looks just like the one in store. I always end up using 2 hands. Seidio has a much stronger clip system.

I have a Evo LTE and I have been running CM10 and kernel version 3.0.45-g87f6e19, I cant get the WIFI to ever get past "Turning Wi-Fi on" also my WiFi tether wont work.

[Nexus 7 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] nextelbuddy:
The only reason I liked tablet ui was to get the tablet version of apps. I really hate the phone version if YouTube app, is there anyway to enable the tablet version of YouTube now that tablet ui is gone? I know nexus 10 gets it even though they are in the new phablet ui so it has to be something in the build.prop or framework or the apk itself.

You already asked in RR thread and got answers why do you double post? And eybee was very clear he released the rom but he won't be providing support... So if you have issues with RRv3 or Any RR rom you better switch to others because RR roms are discontinued

I have change my vold.fstab and after rebooting my phone, i went to access "My Files". But, the phone says "No SD Card Inserted". I tried to change it back but i found out that i forgot to backup the original vold.fstab. Now i can't even access it through my computer to change it back. I really need someone who is experience to help me out of this! I tried hard reset and factory reset. This is a new phone so i hope i don't have to get a hell out of beating from my mum.:crying:

[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] C0D3N1N3R:
Extract a stock ROM of your device, and replace the void.fstab on your device with the one in the zip.

This should do it.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] dareangelsxb:
First of all, i would like to thank everyone for replying to my post so soon to help me out. Regarding what you said, you say to extract stock ROM of my device and replace the void.fstab with the one in the zip? Can i please know how to do it. Maybe the steps on how to do so or a video. And i still can't access SD Card. Thanks alot!
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] madcapmagician:
Bit of a strange one, this...

When I unplug my charger (it's a UK one - I have an LTE 1705) it emits a noise for at least 2 or 3 minutes.

I can only hear it when I hold the thing near my ear, but it's definitely there. It sounds like a high pitched buzz or whistle and, I repeat, the sound is emitted when the charger is disconnected from the electricity.

Now, I must point out that I...well, "suffer" isn't the right word...have RF hearing. I'm able to hear RF noise from electrical components. It isn't tinnitus - I have that too (I'm a 44 year old metal-head), and they are completely different - I know if a TV is on in a house before seeing or hearing (normally) it, I can hear high-output LED torches, etc, etc, but this is the first time I've ever heard something that's not actually drawing power.

Is this something to worry about...?
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengence_angels:
I tot I was alone..

Mine emits a noise when the fone is charged.. its like a buzzing sound..

It disappears when I turn off the power or unplug it..

Also not sure if its something that I should be worried about..
[Galaxy Note II Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] vengence_angels:
Gonna call the Samsung shop here in Singapore and see what they have to say.

It appears to be down to the current required for higher capacity batteries. I am not that savvy with electrical engineering but have been assured it's not a fault and nothing to worry about, just irritating though!
[LG Optimus G (International)] bahaa3000:
I just bought a LG Optimus with a 2 year contract thinking this will be the greatest phone to have right now that will be future prove (2GB of RAM means future Android versions will work perfectly) , and now that I have it for a week I'm realizing there is no community support for development (not that it's even possible with this locked boot-loader) so I was wondering if I should return the phone with something that has a high development community such as S3 or oneX+(if released in the next two weeks) in order to secure a phone that will stay up to date ?

I had a Galaxy S1 before this and thanks to CyanogenMod I was up to android 4.1, now i'm back to 4.04 :(
[LG Optimus G (International)] craigbailey1986:
You would be a fool to return it... I can guarantee this phone will have unlocked bootloader soon... patience is a virtue.

There is a very talented team currently working on development for this phone, and they are certainly making progress. Rome was not built in a single day...

if you look in here apparently they just made a big breakthrough, altho they are keeping it hush hush atm
[LG Optimus G (International)] JasonJoel:
Never buy a phone for what it MIGHT do in the future. If custom roms are critical to you, get a phone that can do it now.

Maybe the bootloader will be unlocked, maybe it won't. If it important to you don't rely on 'maybe'.

Here is the wifi tether apk modded by TrevE and working on my Jellyblazed LJ7. All credit goes to Treve. I did nothing but share. Show some thanks if this helps. Enjoy!

I selected cdma nexus profile and left disable wakelock checked. Some have reported selecting Samsung S3 profile and it also works.

Here is TrevE's original post in the Verizon forum. ALL credit goes to him!

If I'm not mistaken most custom roms have the binaries installed for this to work so the stock LJ7 might not. Install them like he said in the post above and it should work.

Can you report any errors? It works for me on jb.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Iandv:
I've never tried the password encryption yet but you can always enable access control. It worked for me. When you enable access control, you can connect to the tether but the app won't let the device have any data until you enable it with the app itself. You only have to do this once and the app remembers that device. I think its fun to do on a crowded area without any wifi available. They think that they got wifi but nope, rejected. Lol

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] brian_hoffman:
Ive noticed that too but mine is a little diffrent. I will be tethering for a min or so (varys) then a message will come up and say "What the hell your phone just took over the wifi- killing tether" so once it does that I cannot contol the wifi from the system toggle, but I CAN tether again after restarting the tether.. However I cannot surf reliably with it dropping the wifi antenna. It seems like some other process is using it or calling it and causes the app to malfunction.

For those of you who couldnt get it working like me, install SUPERSU(from marketplace) then grant access with superuser, from then on test to see if wifi tether works, if it does, use a rootexplorer to go ahead and delete the original superuser.

Settings Install samsung Binaries

Settings set wifi tether binaries
