KingOfTerrible 69 Posted January 23, 2020 Share Posted January 23, 2020 @EskeRahn with the case in the video you just posted, does the magnetic closure tab from the bottom half get in your way of holding / typing at all? I think I may have bought a similar design for the stock of cases to try. Also when you were flipping the rotation of the phone inside the form fitting part of the case, did you just move the phone, or did you peel off the hard/silicon part from the "leather" case, flip that and glue it back down? I recently bought some thin double sided adhesive tape (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N167EZT/) with the intention of flipping the hard/silicon part if that seems like a better fit with any existing cutouts.

I recently bought some thin double sided adhesive tape (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N167EZT/) with the intention of flipping the hard/silicon part if that seems like a better fit with any existing cutouts. There are two basic types of these cases. One with a long flap (the most common) and one with two short flaps with a magnet each,. This one is the later type, and it does not reach above the height of the lower part, and thus not in conflict. And anyway it is in the middle where the space-bar is, so even if slightly longer on another models, I do not think it will be an issue. On the modifications, there are several possibilities 1) The simplest, use it almost as is, with the top cover going to the left the same side as the keyboard, where you would have to flip it under to use. 2) Turn the case as is, and just make holes. 3) Loosen the soft silicone part, and glue it back on rotated. I tried all three, though gave up the first very quickly. See this for details. Adhesive tape could be used for 3, but the likelihood of you turning it back would be slim, as the inner case has to be adjusted for the direction used. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,201 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I find that one case for Huawei P30 Pro sort of fits. I guess other cases for P30 Pro should fit too. Though you may have to customise the cutouts yourself to access ports, buttons and fingerprint reader. Back camera cutout is just fine. 2 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Slion 1,201 Posted January 24, 2020 Share Posted January 24, 2020 I see, so the recommended cases are the ones from Huawei P20 Pro then. Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Yes, the length and thickness fits better. Samsung Note 7 also fits fine, but the camera hole in the back fits worse. But if used up side down, it would not matter much ADD sizes compared, see e.g. here (merged your thread in) 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

The inner shell should protect it at the missing cover corner near the camera. One concern though. We are squeezing in a thicker phone, and I see no closing mechanism, so it might not close properly. Cutting away the creditcard pocket might fix that. But it depends on how much slack they have added. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Have a look at the current one closed, and if I release the magnet. So without the magnet you are likely to end up with the second. And note that the card-holder on this one has been removed.

On the contrary! Look for one WITH a card holder, and remove it, that makes more room 😉 (The two cover 'halves' are designed to be parallel further apart) I stumbled upon this one (suggested from your link) that has some slide function in it! That might be interesting! The photos does not show the slide that well, but might be useful for us?!? EDIT: It is a magnet at the inner part can be moved. That sounds almost perfect for our usage!! ....Just ordered.... 1 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

This means that it will be piece of cake to have it right or left as each user prefer. Or completely removed, and would fit magnetic car holders too, I wil start with one, but might buy more of those.... See they exists in other colours for other models, so a matter of searching I guess..... 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
