I am guessing you live in a queenslander Mick, or is your block heavily sloped to fit the workshop underneath?

A highset. I would not go so far as to describe it as a Queenslander. Not enough veranda space .

Pretty handy work on the case by the way. You better have a comfortable workshop cause when she finds out what's going on you may be there for quite awhile, lol.

True on both counts metal snaps and magnets probably aren't the ideal, but I figure the magnet isn't all that powerful, certainly no more so than any of the other magnetic closures on other 'phone cases, and it isn't really a snap that you have to press down on to make it close, and there is about 3mm of leather between it and the actual 'phone, so if something goes wrong, it would most likely be from me dropping the damn thing or losing it in the dark. The magnet is barely strong enough to hold a paper clip inside the case.

Btw I have a s4 to and it's a great phone.. Look up an app called battery guru it's made by Qualcomm who actually makes the components of our phones
