Nexus 7 users out there, help me buying a case and few queries regarding the same.

 

1. Does the magnetic case interfere with the auto fetching off and on ? Read that these cases should be avoided.

 

2. What would be the best to choose if I have to protect it from falls and drops ? A full bottom type cover our the silicon back cover ?

 

3 Does the amzer back cover on flip kart saves the screen from a fall or drop ?

 

Some links will be appreciated.

yeah, but llama is pretty limiting. Tasker is sort of a full blown hardware shop compared to the swiss army knife of llama. Both of have their own advantages. But I like to pack the big guns.

Tasker is $6 while llama is free :). Will start with llama and might graduate to tasker later on.

Nexus 4 is the sexiest device I've ever owned! :wub:

 

Tasker is God and an absolute necessity for me. I'm rocking a state based profile (near cell tower) to switch between Home and Outside tasks.

 

Home

1. Wifi On

2. Mobile Data Off

3. Network: 2G Only

4. Auto Brightness Off

5. Brightness Level: 0

6. Keyguard Off

 

Outside

1. Wifi Off

2. Mobile Data On

3. Auto Brightness On

4. Keyguard On

Any impressions of the Canvas HD?

If this article is to be believed then I guess its the best VFM out there in the market. http://www.thinkdigit.com/Mobiles-PDAs/Micromax-A116-Canvas-HD-performance-review-vs_13496.html

 

9000 unit sold in first 24 hours and 25 selling every minute. Quite impressive I must say.

Congrats Snake for S3. If you want minimal cover, I suggest look for Casemate Barely There cases.

 

Something like this:

But beware that after around 6 months, the case starts loosing it's finishing.

My battery life seems better after 4.2.2 but honestly, the weekend isn't the best time to gauge these things. Will know if there are real improvements after Monday.
