At first glance, we actually gagged upon seeing the jacket pictured above. Immediately after regaining our composure, we wondered how on Earth such a magnificent piece of retro kit could have such a negative impact on our lives -- then, it hit us. It's the dude. Seriously. Strap this $200, limited run jacket on anyone even remotely beautiful and we'd bet you too would see things differently. Or maybe it is just obscenely tacky, but it'd be much less so on anyone other than this fellow.
maybe that is the look of the target buyer?

OR
Lamborghini for me...looks awesome and will be better built than the Bugatti.....
Bugatti all the way...
(although I don't think i'll have that kind of choice anytime soon haha)
Bugatti Veyron for me
http://www.worldcarfans.com/9070911.036/bugatti-presents-veyron-pur-sang
Definitely the Bugatti. Follow the link and check out the Veyron Pur Sang. Holy hell I want!
anyone who knows anything about cars would go for the Bugatti. gotta say the Lambo looks good there though, but what's the point in this one? it's not gonna be for the racing drivers because it's not even that quick (only 650hp). you can get Evos with that power these days. It's just gonna be a car for people who make sure their belt matches their shoelaces lol. Bugatti aren't selling to people like that, VW go through a long background check before they say they'll sell you a Veryon, hence why you don't see them in 50 Cent videos...so he'll be having the Lambo then.

Which lambo costs $1.4 million? Pics of the lambo aren't loading for me. And according to Jalopnik, they've dropped the 1mil euro car. So I'd go with an LP640 anyday. Affordable super car compared to the Veyron. I could buy three LP640s for the cost of one Veyron + dealer markup & associated overheads and still have as much fun.
Edit: My bad, I obviously haven't kept up to date recently. The Reventon looks like a facelifted murcielago. Not enough uniqueness to appeal at $1.4 mil.

I made 5 docks for the Galaxy Tab, this is a one time run, I am not doing this again, not for awhile that is, so...get them while they are here.
Each one is different, here are the builds.....
Every dock has a solid one piece base.
Every Dock was milled from.....a log by me, absolutely NO store purchased wood.
No metal fasteners.
First time run, so I myself can find every imperfection, however other people who have seen them just love them.
Made with some very rare....and exotic woods

Very Nice!

looks cool
you can get those cases for extremely extremely cheap on ebay. Even cheaper than that link, and I'm sure the quality won't be that much of a difference. I considered briefly getting it, but the lack of protection on the top and the bottom metal parts of the phone was the deal-breaker. Those parts I dent the most after all.
It looks good on the phone... but you have to remove it occasionally to wipe of the dust on the phone. The phone gets quite dusty because of the holes.

you can say it is thanks to the popularity of this forum and probably Wind Mobile
the XT720 was pretty much unknown before these 2 came together
that just shows you the power of XDA forum
I have yet to see anyone with a XT720 when I commute every day xD. Oh well, makes me feel that my phone is more unique.
This phone has become like a rare gem among bland and boring iphones everywhere. It IS the only phone out there with this shape after all, along with the XT701, XT711.
and the stainless steal matt finish.
I was in Honduras, on a small island, in a crappy apartment with no TV, money or girlfriend. This was the product of my boredom.

It's made of wood and cost less than $5.
It's got 5 joints that allow for nearly any positioning and the actual device can be rotated to landscape or portrait. The only thing missing was a vertical rotation axis right by the nexus so it can can turn left and right. The string is a backup to stop everything collapsing on my face in the night.
Boredom is responsible for many great achievements :smile:

We really do not need that type of comment here......
OP instead of using the string on the wall.. Get two Star type locking washes on each side of the first upright angle bar.. they will dig into the wood and hold it tight without the string.... You could also file some groves into flat washers to achieve this and cut a few groves into the wood for them to seat into...
I Have a commercial made arm similar that i got for my Work van Years ago... Its in basement somewhere now
sorry to offend...
by the way, what does the term "knob" mean in your sig?
OK the idea was creative. The hands free comment was cute, give the guy a break! ?

Made this for the safe keeping of my 8T. I was using a Gordy's leather strap, but my 6mo puppy ate it. *facepalm*

You want a multistrand braid tether attachment.
Monofilament nylon fails with little or no warning.
I used 500lb nylon. Do you think that will work? I definitely want it strong, so looking for opinions here.

Obviously that's not able to hold 500#.
The problem is the monofilament, it's all or nothing. Multistrand usually shows signs of abrasion and impending failure.
Clear nylon is also UV sensitive and doesn't weather well in dry environments.
You want a tether preferably that has no metal rings or such that can scratch the phone. Most phone cases lack good attachment points or accommodate only ridiculously thin tethers. I want at least a 50# tensile strength. First time it gets snagged on something you'll know why...
The weakest link theory applies very much to tethers.
I wear BDU cargo pants so I just use a good case and the thigh pocket. This works well even with large phones and they don't drop out but are still easily accessible.
You'll need to put some thought and searching into this to find the best solution for you.
Thanks for the assist. This strap is mostly to get me through until my new Gordy's arrives. His straps are built like tanks.
