Got my Slim Armor Crimson Red today from a local shop. Previously I owned two other cases made by other companies and I was bothered by the fact that they covered the screen too much. Slim Armor has a very tiny lip allowing the silver rim of the phone to be seen, which is perfect for me, although I doubt it will give much protection in case of a fall. Case fits perfectly. Back part is indeed a fingerprint magnet and might scratch, but any case will get scratched eventually, unless you buy a second case to put on top of your case :D Buttons don't click, they are a bit rigid, but I prefer raised buttons instead of trying to find the buttons through the holes of my previous cases. Doesn't add much bulk to the phone. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied. Wonder if home button stickers will stay attached for a long time or if they fall quickly. They sure add a nice feeling when pressing the home button.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] gear79:
That is sexy, I agree. Do you have a screen protector installed? Was there a logo on the back cover? How does it feel in your hands? Does it feel like it will handle a drop?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] x4sper:
very nice!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] sohail99:
Here's mine in the blue! Love the color! :)
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] danno006:
Is it easy to take on and off as I also use an armband to run and it would nice if it's easy to pop out of the case.?

Spigen Slim Armor (Metal Slate)

Hi,

Just wanted to share my metal slate Slim Armor. Love the case. It's thin and the buttons work great. The metal slate has a matte surface so it doesn't collect finger prints as much. Was using an Otterbox Commuter before, and it feels more secure, but the Slim Armor is definitely cooler. :good:

Put on the jellybean button a bit crooked, but it's still okay. :o
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] andrewdelmundo:
I was waiting for a metal slate slim armor picture on the black S4. I have the neo hybrid metal slate and I love it.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zaki67:
I got the metal slate today ...it looks black !
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] A|ex:
Your eyes are funny it does not look black at all, you must be in poor light! lol

The problem I have with this case is that the usb port at the bottom blocks nearly every micro usb cable I have because it is tight to the connector and all of mine non Samsung have square ends (a few mm out) if I would have known this I would not have purchased this case.

Now I think I might as well sand down all my usb cables for it to fit as I am not going to go out and buy loads of genuine ones.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zaki67:
Actually another problem is that it blocks the IR so the device can't be used as a remote control while in the case.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Sp1tfire:
If you are talking about Slim Armor cases by Spigen, they have a special hole for IR blaster.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] x4sper:
if your "spigen" case blocks the ir blaster you most likely got a fake
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] zaki67:
It is not fake I got it from the SGP Shop at amazon. It has three hole on the top.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] REVERSiN:
you can always drill it so that the IR blaster works :D

i ordered mine from ebay too metal slate i thought the red was cool but too bulky XD hehe anyway still waiting to get it hopefully this week it does showup in my mail box!
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] coolraghav:
I'm sorry guys, cannot go through all 18 pages its really tough.

As after the drop my lcd got cracked, can someone tell me which case I should go for...But I do not want bulky.

Thanks
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] Sp1tfire:
So what's the problem then? The hole on top right is for the IR blaster and it fits perfectly. It doesn't cover it. I can use it for my TV no problem whatsoever. Can you post some pics so we can see how come yours covers the IR?
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] iceddown:
Does anyone else find this case too slippery? It has slipped out of my hands twice since Saturday, no damage though! Wish it was rubberized around the sides.

[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] kultus:
OK thanks but there is also for $14 from top rated seller...do you think its fake too? Anyway I like them if they will look so good I dont care if its fake for its price...
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] trmiv:
So I got this case the other day direct from Spigen in Dodger Blue. Beautiful case. Very well made, and it fits great. But the only issue I have with it is, it's SO slippery. It's to the point that I don't even feel comfortable having it on my phone because I'm in danger of dropping it constantly. So I ended up switching it out for another case eventhough I love the way it looks. If there was only some kind of rough TPU material on the sides, it would be perfect.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] vw671:
This one?

http://www.ebay.com/itm/SPIGEN-SGP-...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item2c6f349167

FAKE! Not even in the right packaging.
[Galaxy S 4 Accessories] jdebutts:
About how long is everyone noticing that it's taking to receive your cases from spigen? I ordered mine on 5/17 and got sent a tracking number. Since then I've not received anything.. I even started a ticket with Spigen customer support.. They haven't even bothered to reply to that.. I ordered a Slim Armor case

Some day in the past I brick my GSA and the only ROM that brought my phone to live was XXLPZ. I still flash this firmware when I brick my phone but everytime when it's turn on I get message saying that upgrade is avaliable, when upgrade is complete my ROM turns in XXLQ4.

My doubt is: can I flash XXLQ4 directly or do I have to continue this way?

[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GSLEON3:
The Note 8 model GT-N5110 has been updated in the U.S.

As of yesterday, the device is running a new kernel & the build number is now JZO54K.N5510UEDMD1.

Not sure what has changed, just said stability improvements, but as soon as I am finished building my dev environment on the new machine, I will grab the update & pot it here, unless someone beats me to it.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] MSHampton:
FYI... After applying the update I had to re-root my device.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jntdroid:
Using SuperSU Pro's "survival mode" setting, I maintained root.

If anybody is interested in looking closer, here's the .zip for the update. I renamed it to the version name. It was named update.zip in the /cache/fota directory.

https://www.dropbox.com/s/qbcmt2lpb6o72po/UEDMD1.zip
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GSLEON3:
Using VooDoo & Koush's SuperUser, I was able to restore root with a single click! Same probably goes for others as well.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Juvenall:
Since my 5110 is rooted, trying to force the update gives me the stock "Your device has been modified" message, so I assume I have to unroot to get this update? Any recommendations on doing just that, or is there another way around this?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jntdroid:
It's actually not about being rooted or not rooted. It's what you changed with that root access. If there are any system modifications, apps frozen, etc, those have to be reverted back in order for the OTA to work, but you can remain rooted and even keep root with the apps mentioned above.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] theraker007:
I did nothing besides the root itself and I'm still getting that message. Can't update.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Div033:
I too am unable to update the device due to the same Message. All I did was root and install busy box. I'm thinking the only way to be able to install the OTA at this point is to either factory reset or install the zip from recovery.

I've tried to uninstall busybox to see if that was the problem but it won't proceed with the uninstall.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jntdroid:
are y'all using any apps to keep root?
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] docfreed:
What I Did to Update/Keep Root

Download/install Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper from the market and use it to make a backup su. Then download the file referenced earlier in this thread, rename it update.zip, and place it in the root directory of your external SD card.

Then unroot using Voodoo OTA Rootkeeper and boot into recovery. Install the update and reboot.

Then reroot via OTA Rootkeeper.

Viola! Updated
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] johnnyvol:
I was getting the error message like some others say they got so;

I followed these instructions except instead of downloading the file in the thread, I rebooted after unrooting and checked for software update through the about device>software update>check for updates. I did it and updated, rebooted and did it again and there was another update just a wee bit larger than the first. Cycled through both updates, rebooted, rerooted, rebooted again and I am updated with root.

Now if I can just figure out what the updates actually did.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] GSLEON3:
Personally I like Koush's Superuser. No funky permissions, no paid "donation" version, just SuperUser access that works.

What I do to keep my system OTA updatable:

1. Install & launch Framaroot.

2. select "Install SuperSu", but do not reset device.

3. Install CWM's SuperUser by Koush. (This way the SU app is not in the "/system/app" folder, it is in "/data/app", which saves you some DRM headaches

4. Launch the new SuperUser & follow prompts to "Install" the new SU binary.

5. Make Backup with VooDoo

6. Open Framaroot again & select "Unroot"

7. Restore your new CWM SuperUser binary with the backup you took using VooDoo in step #5.

8. Reset device & rock & roll.

It is okay to have SU in the /System/* folder, but I find it causes issues with apps that are DRM strict, like many of the cable/dish/streaming apps, so I prefer to install it normally thru Play Store, or via file browser.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] slopokdave:
What am I missing? I updated but don't have the same build as JZO54K.N5510UEDMD1. I am using the .zip in a post on the 1st page. This is what I have...

Edit: I think I'm fine, I was getting mixed up in the original post stating its JZO54k.N5510, not N5110 as it should be. Can someone still confirm for me?

Also, the method right above mine works wonderful.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] docfreed:
Two Updates?

I see some folks referring to JZO54K.N5510UEDMD1 - we have of course the GT-N5110 (WiFi only) Tablets. Are these typo's? Or is there a second update?

After the first update, I have a build number of JZO54K.N5110UEDMD1. I have not seen a second update.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] jntdroid:
UEDMD1 is the latest one, just started today, or yesterday.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] Juvenall:
This is the way I ended up getting the update. Worked like a charm.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] docfreed:
Actually I was referring to the "N5510" part that was stated above - I assume it should read N5110. We should all have a UEDMD1 part
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] roustabout:
Is anyone else seeing a performance hit after applying this?

I haven't gotten rid of all the junkware in /system yet (required to restore to apply the update - maybe not 100%, but as I don't have a phone I'd gotten rid of the phone stuff, so the update gacked) and that may be the cause, but I was surprised that Antutu was reporting a 3-5% performance hit after the update.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] rfb813:
Worked great now rooted. Had the update in place before so good to go.
[Galaxy Note 8.0 (Tablet) General] rtod4edw:
This works too

I had the software update notification and didn't gave to do the download from the thread. Used Voodoo OTA to backup & preserve root. Created Titanium Backup also. Use temp root remove option & verified I was no longer rooted with Root checker. Then let the software update download. It rebooted and installed 1st update. Then immediately applied 2nd update and rebooted again. Used Voodoo to restore root and now have the latest dated April 3, 2013; UEDMD1. :D

This is an article Posted on 23 Apr 2013 at 09:47, by Gareth Halfacree -> HERE

Given the choice would you take the flexible low resolution (shock resistant) screen or the Glass high resolution(more fragile)?

Edit: It is now confirmed! (Thanks to Tuxonhtc)

The First Flexible AMOLED Display to be launched in Q4’2013
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Glass! I don't really mind that bit of inconvenience. I hope they release a non Note line to perform their experimentation on and when they perfect it, they can bring it to the main Note/Galaxy line. I don't mind the glass at all, hope the develop a method to implement 1080p RGB SAMOLED on Note III, that'd kick ass.
[Galaxy Note II General] kersh:
I am pretty comfortable with 720p, right now I don't want more resolution but faster performance for games, going to 1080 will kill that and we will have the same or worse than in note 2.

720p for me without pentile it is more than enough. I see 1080p as a marketing tool rather than a useful feature.
[Galaxy Note II General] hagba:
This reminds me of old resistive plastic screens when they would get very easily scratched, Thank you very much but no I will never buy a phone with plastic screen I like the smooth touch feeling of the glass and will stick with it.
[Galaxy Note II General] jeriz:
I dont think is likely since we are going to use a pen. And the pressure at the tip of the pen is very high compared to a finger and most likely to easely scratch a plastic screen over a short time period plus that i cant imagine drawing on a soft screen would be a pleasant experience
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
http://oled-a.org/news_details.cfm?ID=783

Confirmed, Note III is going to have flexible OLED display.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
Interesting, I don't know if I should be happy or not.

They won't be able to produce enough flexible OLED for everybody so they will have to split the market.

Does this mean the Flexible OLED version phones will have bigger battery?
[Galaxy Note II General] tuxonhtc:
Flexible OLEDs will consume less battery, surely? But I won't be terribly happy to go back to those 2100 mA batteries just because it's power efficient to be honest. If the market is split, I would gladly go for non plastic OLED if it has larger battery and large screen.
[Galaxy Note II General] dirtydeangelo:
Will I think no one will notes the changes between the two screens only the power consumed and the power of taking hits on it ... the feel will be the same ad thy both have yhe same finishing ..:confused:

[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
Look at the picture, the battery will be bigger. Since the screen is so much thinner there is more place for the battery AND the screen consumes less battery so the battery life should(in theory) be much better.:laugh:
[Galaxy Note II General] xdapao3:
I don't care all that much about going to 1080p as 720p is already VERY good, I don't care at all about getting some extra bit of battery as the present one is already pretty good and I use extra batteries and NEVER charge the phone anyway, I do care about a lighter and tougher smartphone BUT the main point of these rumors are for me the screen dimensions: I am really, REALLY hoping that it won't be just 5.9" (especially seeing that the Mega is coming out with a 6.3" display which would be an IDEAL size for me).

Although I don't see them doing so, it would be perfect if they offered a 5.8" and a 6.3" Note III as they are doing with the Mega...

[Galaxy Note II General] iCurmudgeon:
I'm late to this discussion, but ... I just don't understand what all the excitement is over flexible screens. Aside from being THEORETICALLY harder to break, what's the advantage? Even if the screen is flexible, the rest of the phone ain't! The frame, the case, the circuit board, the battery -- none of those are gonna flex, so what's all the excitement about? It's just another marketing gimmick, if you ask me.

Gimme 1020p and I don't care whether the screen is flexible or not.

mudge
[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
Well besides the fact that a replacement screen is costly and having a unbreakable screen is very useful, another HUGE advantage of the flexible screen(too bad you didn't read before posting) is the thickness. The flexible screen is 1.5mm thinner than the already thin glass OLED allowing for more room for a bigger battery in a same size phone.
[Galaxy Note II General] jujuburi:
Note 3 will be announced around July/August, and the screen says Q4. Doesn't make any sense.
[Galaxy Note II General] Kremata:
Actually the announced date have been changed since the OP. It was originally set for September but recent rumors is setting it for mid-summer.
[Galaxy Note II General] rockky:
No way midsummer....they have to ride the S4 sales ride out...
[Galaxy Note II General] csmiler:
I doubt they would let this debut on a flagship, it would spell their doom if this is in any way imperfect.

They would probably introduce this on another phone, and depending on it's reception implement it in their future devices.

Like the Samsung beam, not every needs these features.

It could go the way of 3D on phones :p

[Galaxy S III General] btmec:
Be careful sending your phones in to Samsung for repair. I sent my Galaxy S III in for repair. The repair was supposed to take 5 days but instead took 21 business days. When I got the phone back the water damage sticker was activated. The phone was in a zip lock bag, wrapped in bubble wrap, and put in a UPS shipping bag that was in a box. The phone was water damaged at the Samsung repair facility in Texas. Now Samsung wants me to return the phone to them and they expect it to take a week to get it back. How can a phone leave their repair facility water damaged after taking 16 days longer to repair. Samsung repair support is terrible and I will never buy another Samsung phone again.
