I dropped my Tytn off the couch a few times after passin out while hangin out on IRC, the invisible shield worked very well...but I decided I would give the aluminum case another go..I removed the clear window and then thought the black case looked crappy around the silver phone, so I started to sand it down to polish it, I got all of the front cover sanded and part of the back, and went to see how it looked around the phone...I just held the phone and positioned the top cover over it, and then I noticed the screen flicker...I'm not sure if I missed this before I sanded it, because then I checked with different wallpapers and its not really noticeable with some and it only happens when the case is over it...kinda strange I thought, considering the phone has an aluminum bezel already around the screen from the factory, and I also did notice I would drop a bar on the signal if I wasn't in a strong area.

As many people making aftermarket stuff out of carbon fiber nowdays...I can't believe someone hasn't started making them for phone's/pda's

Its relatively cheap, and a lazy route of making them could be done by just vacuum forming one from an already made aluminum case.

What about Bluetooth? Does aluminium case shields it signal?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] joedoe:
Got a black aluminium case from Boxwave. Looks and fits fine. Didn't notice any Bluetooth signal degradation so far.

BTW PDAir and Boxwave cases look identical - most likely both have the same OEM producer.

Got my aluminum case from dealone.com

Had my case since day two with my Cingy 8525. No problems noted, glad I have extra protection as I'm always bumping into things walking. Tables, chairs, etc. Mine is the monaco aluminum case in black. Absolutely love it!

Just order 1 from there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] arcivanov:
This is the same case an Armor Case from Box Wave. I find this case wonderful protection and look-and-feel-wise, but it LOWERS the reception A LOT, 2 - 3 bars with any radio firmware. If they would have made the upper part from plexi-glass or silver\black-colored plastic so the antenna is not shielded from all sides by the RF-reflective aluminum shell it would have been awesome. But, oh well...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] KevinBaker:
I bought my case from eBay, it looks the same as the Amazon one. It cost me around ~AUD$35. Fantastic case - everything is accessable, perfectly usable, thin, does not bulk my pockets too much etc.

I work in an industrial environment, so this is perfect for me :D.

Have not noticed any signal loss, and my bedroom is a low signal area, so I'm quite happy!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] arcivanov:
Are you sure it's the same case? Mine drops from 2 bars to no connection or from 5 to 3 - 2, when I close the lid (both GPRS and UMTS).
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] KevinBaker:
Yeah definately the exact same case!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] joedoe:
Mine drops at least one bar too. Other then that it's a perfect case.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] ZzFDKzZ:
I just received the boxware black case. Right away I notice my signal drop by 2 bars. But when I open the case I get back the 2 bars.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] arcivanov:
Exactly same here. I think I'm going to try to drill some holes in the upper part of the case to maybe decrease the amount of signal energy dissipating on the case itself. Ideally the manufacturer should think about making the upper part plastic :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] joedoe:
Actually the case already has enough openings on the top part. I don't think drilling extra holes will make any difference.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] naveen:
mine works fine in the case. no signal loss.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trialdei:
just got the pdair case and lookswise, it's great but i do concur that signal strength is affected. bluetooth works fine but i usually get 4 bars where i live and now i'm down to two. consequently, transfer speed fell from 800kps to about 500kpbs.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] wundis:
now I wonder, does the signal loss due to the presence of the aluminium case affects people just in the USA (cause you use a different transmission technology (if I'm not mistaken)) or people in Europe as well (No idea about Australia :) ?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] teride:
How do you like the PDair case? Which one do you have & do you find that the plastic over the keys interferes at all with the keyboard function?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trialdei:
i live in japan where there are no gms/gprs networks so the results i'm seeing are strictly with reference to wcdma/umts...haven't tried the new case overseas yet
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] trialdei:
perhaps you're talking about a different case. the one i have is:

http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=10100000_900000_11000012&products_id=4721

and there's no plastic over the keys. you have to open the case to access the kb.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] arcivanov:
There aren't nearly enough openings if you try calculating the wavelength and compare it with the sizes of the cuts. Almost 70% is still shielded, meaning that at least 70% of the signal is either reflected or dissipated as heat on the aluminum shell. In other words, the closer I can bring the upper part to hard mesh with holes the diameter of largest wave length used - the better.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] drutort:
for people who might have the aluminum cases, maybe give those carbon fiber ones a chance? i ordered the rubber one and the carbon fiber one as well, pretty cheap on ebay. I would never want a metal case, unless it was a sheet metal case on plastic just a skin, in which case carbon fiber is better anyway?

im also all for slim vertical cases, cause i do not want to add any more bulk to the phone, my previous phones were on the bearable size, and the hermes is bigger with the wrong case having your hermes on the side you will notice it, it will bother you... thats what i noticed at work lol

so im going with a few combo's and also using a screen protector for times when it calls to have low profile and keep it in a pocket... vs at times were i want the phone protected depending in what environment im at... or if the clothing does not work well with a phone in your pocket heh
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] drutort:
so i got the rubber and the "carbon fiber" well i think the carbon fiber is a fake... i mean its just painted on... unless you can call it carbon fiber with just paint o_O it costs the same as any other plastic case cover :/ it does look nice... but i doubt that its carbon fiber... and it does not state no place that its design or look of carbon fiber...

does anyone disagree? those from ebay... and one of the vertical pouches that i got it has a stretch cover which i do not like... i like the magnetic ones for fast access

the rubber one is like rubber painted plastic case its not a silicon full or full rubber case which i dont like i want a full rubber/silicon case

Granted the rubber covered one will last and resist scratches a lot better
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] klobbersaurus:
just got an aluminium case for my 8525 and noticed my signal bars dropping too, went from full bars to 1 or 2bars

where is the internal antenna on these phones? just so i know which areas i should start making new holes to get better signal
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] drutort:
the phone one is on top of the phone, and on the sides are your wifi and BT ones, you can see these in the pics were they have the phone take apart

i doubt that making an area open for them will help, as they are omni im more then sure and not directional heh maybe a little bit...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Accessories] klobbersaurus:
i cut out the opening in the top a bit more and widened and lengthened the opening more, got an extra bar

Hi, i have an Htc One uk (cid 001). Several months ago, I've turned it into a Google Edition. Now I want to turn back to stock 4.4.2 with sense 5.5 rom.

3) relock bootloader

4) flash ruu (4.19.401.19, right? I'm sure of cid 001; I don't remember original version-main; the back cover of the phone says "model PN07100")

[Nexus 5 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] BirchBarlow:
Relax, don't take it so personally. I get it, you're not a newb. When you come here asking about toolkits with a single-digit post count, it's a fair assumption. Either way I don't see the purpose of toolkits for a Nexus device. I encourage everyone not to use toolkits but to root the proper way. How hard is it to type "fastboot oem unlock" and "fastboot flash recovery recovery-twrp.img"? It's not like it's Samsung or something where you have to find exploits and hack to get it unlocked. Google gives us all the tools we need to unlock Nexus devices. You don't have to know how to code or anything to use the tools. There's nothing to gain by using one-click toolkits and root methods, only to lose as you never know exactly what they're doing under the hood. Toolkits cause more problems than they solve, especially when used by those with little to no experience. As someone else pointed as, when inexperienced users use toolkits and inevitably run into problems, it's difficult to explain how to fix it because they don't understand the steps we're telling them to take. It may as well be Greek to them. For these reasons I always discourage the use of toolkits.
