Alright, so I need to share my experience regarding this bumper.

It initially came to my attention when searching for bumpers/cases etc, but at first I figured it was beyond what I was willing to pay for it. I did not want a full case or TPU skin etc, as I wanted as much of my phone 'naked' as possible, while getting some minor protection from everyday bumps, dragging across tables and various Jeep related bounces. A bumper was what I wanted.

I tried a cheap one from ebay. It came within 2-3 weeks, and was what you expected. Cheap, and I felt almost decorative. A drop would knock it off, as it uses a clasp s screws. It was also very thin, so it flexed while on the phone around the port openings. I couldn't complain, as I got what I paid for.

That brings me back to this bumper. I had already decided on the Amber Orange one long ago when I dreamt of it, so I simply sent out a semi-serious email via their site with some basic inquiries to pricing, shipping, stock, etc.

-AUG 30 - Initial contact via site form, I got a response within hours via email.

-AUG 31 - I was sold, and had them invoice me, and paid it shortly after receiving it via PayPal.

-SEP 1 - I received an email stating it was shipped, provided the tracking number, and they included photos of the package, the item, the shipping label, and the invoice.

-SEP 2 - I see it has left Japan and was enroute to Canada.

-SEP 3 - Just after midnight, it clears customs, goes through Toronto, Mississauga, then heads to my town which is about an hour/hour and a half away. I missed delivery today at 11am, as I was at work...

It was packaged in an airmail envelope, which contained a brown cardboard box, which contained a store quality box container, which contained a small material bag, which contained my unit.

I was amazed how fast this whole communication to unit in hand took. Each step of the way, communication was fast and efficient, and more than adequate.

The unit itself went on like a glove. There are no gaps, no flex, and no misalignment. Even the port cutouts have a bit of fingernail space to leverage into. It looks good, feels good, sturdy, and provides a bit of a lip for me to hold late at night while tired and wandering aimlessly. No noticeable signal loss, however I am in a great area to begin with, so this has never been an issue for me.

I am extremely pleased with this purchase and product.

Cheers all.

Check out Devilcase USA. They have a case for the Z2. Looks like Amazon is the only retailer right now.

have you tried devil case before making an order on allumania? iam torn between these two products. i know that japanese products are always on top quality but the devil case is much thinner and doesnt have the cut out for sdcard which is very seldom used. i want to hide those flaps as much as possible. can someone give an opinion about these two bumpers

As soon as I get access to a camera other than the one currently inside the bumper case, will do and post.

Sorry, I should have noted that.

I have no experience with this other case, so I can not provide you with any honest input on it.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Tachikoma_kun:
Any luck getting another camera? Interested in seeing some real world photos of it.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] bluh01:
The best there is

Hi all!

I have ordered this case a few weeks ago.

It went almost a same as been posted before. They were very friendly and really fast. It took about 30 minutes until they've dispatched the case.

I had a nillkin tempered glass at the front and the back. However if you gonna order this case you will see the way how they made this case the room at the back is smaller about 1-1 mm. So if you want a glass protector at the back you need to order one from them.

This is the only complication what I had, the case is perfect fit. I think it's totally worth the price.

I have attached a few pictures.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Tachikoma_kun:
Thanks for the photos! Did you worry about scratching the phone at all? Their site says it's a possibility due to manufacturing constraints.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] bluh01:
Scratch

Before this bumper, I have tried a cheap lovemei one, which indeed managed to scratch the phone.

I was very upset at first but what can you expect from a £4 case?

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LOVE-MEI-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3ce334f6ef

The Alumania is a bit pricey yes, but I just checked the phone, no new scratches so far.

I think the main difference between the two bumper is that the lovemei loose on the phone so it can move while the alumania is tight. It's important because the quality of the lovemei is cheap so it's constantly rubbing the phone that means scratching. Cheap metal bumpers are bad idea, if you care about the scratches.

Cheers
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Tachikoma_kun:
Great, thanks!

Might order me one on payday.
[Xperia Z2 Accessories] Lawliet918:

[Galaxy S 4 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] cryme007:
Hello ,

I will like to know , what is the best custom rom for s4 with TW . thanks
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Hudrator:
Hey Everybody ,

I want to use the shield Tablet for some Note taking during class / work.

So i am asking for some Apps you tested with Direct Stylus 2.0

Which work best with palm recognition ?

Maybe some advise for settings ?

At the moment l can only say that the Android Handwriting Detection is really not bad. Maybe good for longer texts in landscape mode

Thanks in advance
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] hairdewx:
Honestly I could not use the stylus very well, the tip is too soft for me to use it to take notes...
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Hudrator:
Sad to hear mate.

I'm facing some problems with the palm recognition.

I hope Nvidia will enhance this feature in the near future. An dedicated writing App like Dabbler for drawing would be really nice
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] ugoff:
When the stylus is removed, there should be an extra navbar icon on the left that disables touch input. I guess that would work to prevent unwanted inputs, just not automatically.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] sev7en:
I tried several apps to make quickly notes but the Samsung Note experience is still a mile ahead...
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] abnormaIity:
I dont mind the stock evernote, not that I frequently use it. I find it works pretty well. I agree with hairdewx the stylus is kinda soft to take notes with. I use it for drawing myself. Dabbler is friggin horrible but the App ArtFlow works amazing with the Tablet and the Stylus.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Hudrator:
It helps but if you want to zoom in or out, moving the sheet you are writing on you cant use your Fingers.

It sometimes happens, that when I lift or move my palm, it is recognized as an touch input with the Stylus.

So there would be the chance to increase the rate of recognition. would really help me
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Harfainx:
Stylus only mode > "Write" app

Works great for note taking. I use it daily at work for meetings.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] dukehazard77:
I think the most best app for I've found so far is Autodesk Sketchbook Express. Super fast, fluid and GREAT for note taking although still can't find ruled template but that might just be laziness on my part
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Kirotan:
Autodesk Sketchbook has traditionally/historically been a programmed aimed at drawing/painting- so it's going to lack a ruled template, unless you decide to create one/scan one in, and use it as a layer underneath your drawing canvas.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] dukehazard77:
Definitely but its recognition of stylus strokes is by far the fastest of any of the apps I've used, including NVIDIA's. That was the appeal. But I do get your point :)
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] jtflynnz:
I can't speak specifically to the stylus, but when I have used normal capacitive styli, the main app I have used is LectureNotes by Acadoid. It's a fantastic note-taking app, and even if you can't finagle it to work exactly like you would think a Galaxy Note would, it has a lot of customization that you can make to the program so that it better fits your needs. There's a free trial version if you want to give it a try, but I use the full version and feel that it is worth the money.

Again, not sure how well it interacts with apps that are not in the default installed software package (I'm hoping fine though, I'm switching to one in the coming weeks!), however I do know that the app itself has some settings for heuristic palm rejection, and that there are different settings like that you could fiddle around with.

Hope that helps!
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] DeBoX:
Anyone actually test lecture notes with the shield? How is the accuracy and speed + palm rejection?

for that mater any other recommendations?
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] dukehazard77:
Since my previous comment I had the opportunity to use LectureNotes and it is by far the fastest of the apps for stylus recognition...even beating sketchbook.. Very useful and comprehensive app. Highly recommended!
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] DeBoX:
So it works well with lecture notes? As in functional as a note taking tool? ( ie above average accuracy, palm rejection etc)
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] dukehazard77:
Yes for sure! Check it out
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Xarrdroid:
Papyrus

Papyrus is what i use on my note 3 and my note 10.1 exynos edition.

Works awesome but haven't tried on my shield yet.

If it works, i use all that are mentioned above as well, but for ease of use and cloud integration between devices, and simplicity, i think it is the best.

Will see if i can test later.

[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] DeBoX:
Anyone tried OneNote with this tablet? (note taking part, possible?)
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] JadeJitsu:
I personally prefer Fiinotes or Handrite Notes for note taking. I've found these to work very well for note taking and recording meeting minutes.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] YuriPan:
I got the Nvidia Shield with half the purpose of taking notes during class and I found just the app for it. It's LectureNotes (here's the playstore link: https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.acadoid.lecturenotes) It is a paid app sadly, there's a trial though for you to check it out. You can backup your notes, create separate notebooks for each class or something, you can export them to PDFs, input typed text if you like, pictures, crop them as you like etc. There's really anything you might consider needing, there's options for stylus and for using your fingers at the same time (like recognize the finger as an eraser while the stylus as a pen etc. It's somewhat messy in the settings section, it has far too many so you'll have to play around and see what suits you, it wouldn't do you much good if I gave suggestions of what I use probably, although I can take screenshots if you'd like. Check it out, it has also some extensions for audio recordings (sounds useful) or video recordings (not so useful for me at least), but since you pay extra for them I haven't tried neither.

Best of luck! Hope you like it, it really did the trick for me.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] OutlawXIII:
I personally use Handrite. I find that it is the easiest for taking fast notes, plus it feels really natural. Fiinote is pretty good as well.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] amartolos:
I also recommend Fiinote, as well as INKredible. Funny enough, I don't use my stylus to take hand-written notes. I think it's much easier to swipe around on the Google Keyboard. But I do use my stylus to act as highlighter etc. for reading research papers etc.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] YuriPan:
If I took my notes in English I might have tried using the keyboard as well, once I get used to it I can be almost as fast as I'd be with handwriting, but at the uni the lectures are in Greek and all the Greek keyboards I've seen still have a long way to go before their dictionaries include all the words I might have to type, so autocorrect gives me a hell of a time. Let alone there's a bunch of agricultural terms that are definitely not included in keyboard dictionaries >.< Typing would be a nightmare! Hehehe. I'll check out the apps you use though, I tried browsing in Play for alternatives but what I came across didn't impress me :P
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Pilz:
I use modify Microsoft's OneNote and it works well. It's not perfect but it's better than some of the other apps I've used. I would give it a try
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] YuriPan:
OneNote's pretty cool, plus it's incredibly convenient how it synchs between devices with your Microsoft account. I tried to figure out though how to write with a pen on it but I got annoyed and gave it up. I should give it more more try :P
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] Pilz:
It's really simple but you can't cut text and move it like other apps. It's still very functional as you can see in the screenshots below.
[Shield Tablet Themes and Apps] YuriPan:
Oh dear, I hadn't even seen this section >.< hehehehehe. Thank you! It seems pretty convenient, I'll definitely give it a go cause I'm writing stories on and off and OneNote is the only digital app/program (depending on if I'm using it from my tablet or the PC) where I can plan them out as messily as I'd like. Handwriting on top of the rest of the mess is just the cherry on the top of the cake that was missing 3:)

Hi... Got my one and it is amazing....

But I was aware of this issue - it is not in The One... but in Cyanogenmod

I have Galaxy Note N7000 and have put a lot of custom ROMs on it.

But any ROM that was based on Cyanogenmod.... I could never dial into a conference or an IVR

With any other ROM that was not Cyanogenmod based... it worked fine

e.g. try dialing to any of the banks IVR... when they ask you to press 1 to got to X... 2 to go to Y

Or try dialing to a conference bridge. When they ask for your passcode - even when I enter the correct passcode - it is picked as something else... If I enter 23234589... it is randomly picked as some number... 223349 or something.

Anyone else facing this issue.

[HTC Sensation] m.m.m:
Hi folks, several days ago I bought an 18cm high GSM antenna (really cheap, about $5 if I convert it to USD), and also bought a cheaper (if I convert it to USD it will be $0.66) SMA connector for it, and realized that the antenna connectors of the Sensation are on it's back cover, so I could simply connect the antenna to the phone.

well, first of all you'd better to watch W2AEW's awesome video about Decibels to actually understand what you're doin'.

here's the antenna I've bought (the seller told me it's 18cm high but it's 19.5cm :silly:):

View attachment 2912843

and this is the SMA connector, before you buy the connector, you have to find out if your antenna's connector is male or female. in my case it was male so I bought a female connector for it:

View attachment 2912825

View attachment 2912844

View attachment 2912846

then you have to solder some wires to your antenna, one for the ground and another for the signal. coaxial cable is the best solution because of lower noise but it's so thick, here is some antenna wires I just found with a quick search on Ebay, and they're not that thick. also keep wires as short as possible, in my case I just wanted to test the antenna so didn't care about the wires:

View attachment 2912820

the two connectors above the camera on the back of the phone are for WiFi, and the two below the SD Card are for GSM. so I connected the wires of antenna to the bottom ones, and, here's the result:

with the original antenna (which is the cover door of the phone):

View attachment 2912821

without any antennas (without cover door):

View attachment 2912819

with the external antenna:

View attachment 2912818

I'm planning to drill a hole on a cheap cover door and mount the antenna on the cover, and also add some more antennas like GPS and WiFi. (then probably it won't fit in any pocket :silly: :laugh: )

if you tried it too, please hit the thanks button. :good:
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
Awesome, can you share a photo of your modified Sensation? :)
[HTC Sensation] m.m.m:
well, I haven't still mounted it on the door of my sensation, but I'm going to do it, and when I did it I'll add the photo of it. this post was just for confirming that it works this way.
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
All right, I'm waiting excited for the photo(s) :D
[HTC Sensation] m.m.m:
another thing I wonder is that if we can add an external antenna without loosing the 3G capability.

edit: I'm working on adding the antenna beside internal antenna so it will have both EDGE and HSDPA.
[HTC Sensation] palm_pilot:
Thats really cool!

Will have a try this week :laugh:
[HTC Sensation] m.m.m:
It works and increases the db, but unfortunately it doesn't solve my problem, I wanted to keep in touch in a place which is far away from the operator antennas, but it doesn't help me because of the huge distance, maybe I should switch to another operator. so I discontinue this project but it doesn't mean that it doesn't work.
[HTC Sensation] @@RON:
Sad to hear, that it doesn't really satisfy your situation and you discontinued the project. Can you please share a picture of the back cover anyway?
