Make a (NFC-enhanced) slip case for your phone

Step 7: Program the NFC tags.

These are "anti-metal NFC stickers" purchased from tagstand.com: http://www.tagstand.com/collections/anti-metal-nfc-stickers/products/mifare-ultralight-white-metal-proof-nfc-sticker-circle-30mm-diameter

Because they are going to be placed onto a special radio frequency (RF) blocking fabric, we need the extra isolation that the anti-metal NFC tag offers.

Download an app called "NFC Task Launcher" also by Tagstand from Google Play (aka Android Market, https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.jwsoft.nfcactionlauncher). It lets you save tasks to your NFC sticker so when it's scanned, it just does it automagically!

Watch IMG_0290.MOV on how to make an NFC tag for those times you need to be very quiet like during class, a meeting, or at the movies.

Watch IMG_0292.MOV on how to make an NFC tag for those times you have a hard time hearing your phone like at a party, or when your phone is at the bottom of your purse.

Repeat for "default" but use settings for how you typically would like to hear your phone ring/vibrate, outside of the case. Say you sit down at a cafe and want to see your screen; pull it out and rest it on top.

Watch IMG_0302.MOV on how to make a 4th tag for turning on a wifi hotspot, or leave this tag for another day.
