[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KaliS-Pugilist:
Can anyone provide an Aegis vs Commuter review/comparison, as these are supposedly two of the best and most promoted cases for this device and offer very similar options. In the past I have had both the Trident Aegis, Trident Kraken, and Otterbox Defender, for my Epic Touch and preferred the Trident. But now, Trident seems to have changed the design and I'd like to see what people who have had both think of them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] shook187:
Dude just search!!
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Brad.S.:
I've just been reporting these threads. This is terrible already.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] IamPro:
Best way I can describe the Aegis is its like a 2 layer TPU case (hardplasic shell covered on corners with black rubber silicone); it offers a little more protection then a TPU since the inside also has rubber for cushion. Despite this tho, the case isn't made for drops or falls from a decent height like 5ft+. In addition the case doesn't offer much screen protection; there isn't much raised edges (you can prob put it facedown but at your own risk) and any drops/falls on its face is certain to hurt the screen unless you have a screen protector or extremely lucky. Usability is very nice, feels awesome in hand and keeps the thin form factor of the Note 2. Buttons (covered by rubber) are super responsive which surprised me bc other like cases they are hard to press but not this case.

Overall its a stylish case with a little protection (but not much) so keep that in mind; should be fine for daily use just don't drop it esp on its face (I do think it could survive a fall from 7ft+ but not on its face tho)

As far as the Commuter, I am getting it this week and will give a review.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] chrisjm00:
I like the commuter but if the buttons are hard like on the GS3 I'm not interested.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] Wolf's Rain:
Here are a bunch of pictures comparing the two cases. Hopefully they offer some needed perspectives.

After using both cases, I can give some feedback. The Otterbox definitely adds significantly more protection. I wouldn't even put them in the same class of case in that respect. You can see in the picture of the screen in the commuter case that the lip around the edge is 3x - 4x more than the Trident. This is nice for lying it flat on a table which I do constantly. Theoretically it might protect better on a screen first drop as well.

In the pictures of the cases overlapped, you can see the Otterbox has a much larger silicone layer on all sides and corners. The polycarbonate shell also wraps much further around the top and bottom and is much thicker in general. This adds nice protection to both ends of the case. Dust flaps on the Commuter are more of a sealed design. They are a tad small, but at least they lock into the hard outer shell so aren't in danger of becoming floppy.

The cut out for the s-pen is larger on the Otterbox. It makes grabbing that out much easier. There is no dust cover over the speaker on the Commuter like there is on the Aegis. All microphones and speakers line up great on both cases though.

The Commuter adds more weight and is quite a bit larger in the hand. The added thickness in both layers, the silicone and polycarbonate, are noticeable when you hold it. This makes the phone feel much better protected. Perhaps the major draw back on the Commuter's shell is that its quite slick. For those that hate slippery cases you might be concerned about this aspect. If I had it on a table, I could probably slide it across fairly easy by giving it a push to someone sitting a few chairs away, just to give an idea of what I mean. I'm considering getting a FlyGrip, more for the kickstand ability than the added grip. The slippery feeling on the Commuter doesn't bother me. I will say I prefer the feel of the Aegis though. Its a very nice feeling case.

When it comes down to it, these two cases really are in different categories. It depends on your needs and what your preferences are if you're trying to decide which one is better. The Aegis is a very nice feeling, great functioning slim design case. It adds a slight amount of protection above a typical tpu, but I wouldn't put it in the realm of full drop protection. The Commuter adds substantial protection. I'm sure its less than a defender class case, but I feel pretty secure with its ability to survive the average drop. I also like the added height on the ridge around the screen as compared to the Trident. The Otterbox does add some bulk and weight over a slim design like the Trident, but this is the entry fee into more protection really. The Commuter is about is slim as you could expect for the level of protection it provides.

As usual, feel free to ask any questions about the two cases or how they compare to each other. You can also request specific pictures and I will try to provide them.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KaliS-Pugilist:
I did search, lol. Their aren't posts comparing the new model aegis with the current otterbox commuter for the Note 2. This is what I'm specifically asking about. I'm not a newbie posting for the fun of it.
[Galaxy Note II Accessories] KaliS-Pugilist:
Thank you very much for this well written post, exactly the information I was looking for. Unfortunately the design change of the Aegis is so different from that of the Epic Touch that I'll be passing on it. I really like their previous 2 layer design.

For me it now boils down to the Commuter and it's quality protection although limited style and slippery feel, or the Incipio DualPro Shine with it's presumably less protective dual layer design and more stylish look and feel.

Thanks again for the review!

Also until the mods and stuff are more updated etc i will keep it unrooted, as I thought to myself why do i need it rooted as im not flashing roms every day etc.

Yeah. Upgrading to Ics is safe.
[Android Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] sumit77seo:
Buddy first rule of xda is to search and read as much as u can. If you dont find it, then post a topic.

and for rom queries please find your particular device's forum in xda.

by the way, in simple way, root is gaining the access of ownership of everything. U can get high performance from ur device after rooting. Just read as much as u can.

if your device manufacturer is providing the ics update, then u can upgrade to it easily.

for reverting back to stock u have to root first then install stock rom from zip, or there are many methods, just read in your device's forum.

[Nexus 7 General] Burlyirishdude:
This was something I am making because despite the answer being out there I had to piece it all together from different sources and people recommending seriously good E-Readers but never really what i was looking for...Being able to use the Kindle App with PDF-MOBI-EPUB. In the end i eventually got it to work so i thought i'd contribute - hopefully it helps someone out. Long process at first but once you get it down you'll have a nice OCD-style Kindle Page on the N7.

How to Convert, Load, and enjoy all your DRM_free pdf-mobi-epub(-etc,etc.) with Kindle App

I am running a stock rom unlocked/rooted. See below for the extra info i have in the Screenshot.

So i have (x) format book.(epub azw3, mobi,) and i want to see it on the Nexus 7 - Kindle App. I want metadata, coverart, etc.

Here is how i got it to work.

First i downloaded Calibre

http://calibre-ebook.com/download

Install your OS-based software.

Step 1:

Plug in the Nexus 7 before you open the Calibre Program

Step 2:

This is your library - this is where you Drap & Drop whatever format your book is in.

Step 3:

This is on your device. This shows you what is present already on the Nexus. (basically just to double check or erase duplicates)

Step 4:

Clean up the metadata. Calibre is pretty good with this. If you have the title and the author.(which you can find on Amazon) it should be pretty straight forward. Unless your book is from some far-off land.

Step 5:

This is where you fix all the metadata. DO the title and author. Then down at the bottom Hit the, "Download Metadata" button.

Step 6:

Calibre will find something that looks like this. Has a short summary and the "typed" metadata stuff including the cover art.

Step 7:

Now it's time to convert the book to the proper format. *.mobi.

Step 8:

This is where you need to make sure that the OUTPUT format says .mobi

Step 9:

On the left hand side there is a tab for MOBI Output. Click that. Right in the middle it has a box called Personal Doc tag: Change that to [EBOK] this is so you can email it to your @kindle account.(If you need to for whatever reason this USB trick doesn't work)

Step 10:

Watch it convert

Step 11:

Now here is where you steal the files back from Calibre to put on your Nexus 7. Finally right. You need to left-click>save to disk>save single format to disk...

Step 12:

Select .mobi format

Step 13:

Chose a directory. I always did Desktop. easiest to find and fastest transfer

Step 14:

Should generate a nice file structure. All you need is the 3 files down in the folder

Step 15:

Transfer to Nexus 7. [Nexus 7>internal storage>Kindle> Go ahead just throw them in there. Calibre has made them all the same name except for the file extensions of those 3 files.

Unplug Nexus from CPU.

Power down Nexus

Turn Back on

Open kindle app. Viola. Should be there. If cover art doesn't show up at first open the book. Exit. Should reload it.

Hope this helps.

Fantastic guide.. Thanks for taking out the time for this.... I guess there ain't too many out there who still love reading :D
[Nexus 7 General] Stanerefor:
Thanks Burlyirishdude,it works perfectly.
[Nexus 7 General] peterk-1:
The Calibre software forum is at http://www.mobileread.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=166. The author of the software makes frequent postings.

There is also an app Calibre Connection http://www.multipie.co.uk/calibre-companion/ that creates a wireless connection with Calibre to make the transfer of ebooks simple
[Nexus 7 General] Burlyirishdude:
Yes but the point was to bring the whole process of [x format] into [kindle-able] format with proper metadata, cover-art, etc. Rather than doing what you suggest(scouring forums) or I did(scour forums)...I figured I'd give the trial and error step-by-step that worked for me.

However I will say that there are a lot of alternative e-readers out there. Some with better formatting, better organization, etc, etc. Like BMW and Mercedes....different strokes for different folks. The holy grail though is still to be able to side-load, upload, load in general, properly formatted books into Google Play books, but they are a completely different animal. "it's all for that damn-slick page peel"

:good:
[Nexus 7 General] brainard52:

Thanks for guide but library thing is useless for me. With root explorer I click on open with -> Kindle. PDF, epub etc work perfect
[Nexus 7 General] Burlyirishdude:
Yes CPU does mean Central Processing Unit. It was meant to be shorthand for computer....colloquially speaking it's an acceptable abbreviation for computer.
[Nexus 7 General] misaellarrieta:
first of all, thank you very much for the guide, really usefull...

however i've got some questions...

i'm using a sony tablet s and i love the kindle app, fast simple and not too heavy, the question is, do i really have to download the metadata at caliber?, i have got a collection of about 100 ebooks already with the mobi format and it has taken me a couple days download the cover and edit the info at the metadata (some books are part of series and have sequential order like hyperion cantos or foundation series), and i dont want to loose the hard work replacing it with the metadata calibre downloads.

anyway thanks again and i hope you can respond
[Nexus 7 General] ynrozturk:
Thanks for this. I just drag and drop the mobi files I want into my "Kindle" folder and that seems to do the job.. but editing the tags will be nice indeed.
[Nexus 7 General] misaellarrieta:
It's possible, i have just did, Calibre is quite a dyanamic program, just follow the guide and in the part about metadata skip and edit at you own, it works great if you've got lots of books from the same author
[Nexus 7 General] kimshooter:
Thanks for the tutorial

Worked great on Nexus 7:good::angel:
[Nexus 7 General] RodMyers:
Thanks for the tutorial. Aldiko is another ebook reader as well
[Nexus 7 General] Burlyirishdude:
Hmmm.. That's a really good question. I haven't done any, "series," or, "part [i,ii,iii]" I would say that in the step where you bring up the metadata DON'T download any new metadata(especially if you painstakingly went through yourself and did it) Tread carefully and find the pieces you want to update, then push out the *.Mobi with the new data you've added. I think you'll be ok as long as you don't connect to the Calibre or Amazon servers "requesting" new metadata. I know sometimes the Coverart that is recommended is really really small 150x150, 225x136 etc. and sometimes you can just do an Image search on google and find a nice HQ one right at the top. I know there's a way to import that Coverart to use and not download a new crap low quality, pixelated version.

So long-story short, no you don't have to download metadata from Calibre. In fact if you have the 3 files needed(shown in one of the last images on pg.1) you should essentially be able to drag and drop those into the N7>Kindle folder. Reboot. And they should load.

::EDIT:: Just realized you said Sony Reader. Not sure how the file Structure is on the Sony but essentially the process of getting [X format--->Kindle Format] should follow suit for the sony. I'm assuming the Kindle app/program/api/apk/exe/etc for the Sony Reader follows the same standards and guidelines for importing nicely tagged/bagged books in Kindle on Sony Reader.

This whole process was to show any format could be drilled down, cleaned up, loaded up, and look pimp-pressed-and-proper on the N7 Kindle App.

Hope this helped. Sorry if this was a late response. :good:
[Nexus 7 General] illegalamigo:
im still having problems with this, the files are in the right format and im geting this:

"the file type is not supported on this device, if it is a media file, you may be able to use windows media player to convert the file to a playable type prior to transfer"

any reason for this? im putting the JPEG, MOBI, and OPF file directly into the kindle folder. :confused:
[Nexus 7 General] Burlyirishdude:
Off the top of my head i can only think that maybe in the, "output," of the e-book there was something missing. Make sure in that output you have it set to [EBOK] Let me know what you find.

Also where is it giving you that dialoge box saying "the file type is not supported on this device."? Is it when trying to transfer? Are you transferring straight from Calibre or from Windows Explorer and/or OSX Finder? Or is this error message coming up on the N7?

-BiD
[Nexus 7 General] illegalamigo:
yeah I did the output just right

im transferring from windows explorer, I go to my computer click on my nexus 7 and drag the files into the kindle folder. I don't know why this is happening and have seen 1 or 2 other people on other forums get the same result. I don't have enough post but if you type in "problem getting epub files on nexus 7" on google, there is a thread with someone on another forum saying they can't get epub or mobi files on their tablet aswell. The only file its taking is the JPEG. I cant post a screen shot right now though since I don't have enough post.

*edit* I don't know if this has anything to do with it but on the calibre program my nexus 7 isn't popping up on device.

also, on your screenshot you transferred your files from [Nexus 7>internal storage>Kindle] while on mine I don't have a internal storage folder and it gos from Nexus 7 straight to Kindle
[Nexus 7 General] ForSquirel:
dumb question, but are you using separate directories for each book? If not you're overwriting files. Also, with the Nook app/readers if you have a strange character in your filename you will sometimes receive errors that prevent the opening of the book. Filenames on the nook containing the "#" sign result in errors. Your error could be something similar.

Ideally, and this is just me, under the Kindle(Nook) app you should have a directory for your sideloaded books and inside that directory you should have a separate directory for each and every book that you have loaded.
[Nexus 7 General] tt1114:
You can also email the books to your Amazon account from within Calibre itself then books will show off in Kindle app under archive. This way you can turn on whisper sync and then read books on many different devices and it sync the process for you.
[Nexus 7 General] illegalamigo:
nope everything is right, and now im even more confused.

I do not have an internal storage folder when I connect via usb cable to my pc. I tried rebooting it and it still doesn't appear.

Also when im on calibre my nexus 7 device does not show up :(
