yesterday i went with a friend to the tmobile store. i was looking at the accessories knowing they don't have any for my phone.but a paper box with no fancy name no cover stuck out like a sore finger. when i grabbed it i was shocked as to what it was i havent seen one for sale. it was a solar charger small enough to be carried around . and on sale from 120 to 20 dollars what a deal i thought. and it was it does a pretty good job of charging my phone while walking /driving / ect. i think for any phone its a good gadget to buy
i have included a pic of it

It seems like there are a lot of good apps out there for exercise and what not. But it seems like that is going to be difficult if I carry it lose in my pocket.

I just saw an armband for the mytouch at a Tmobile, but it was still behind the counter, so I think it's almost here.
I'm also waiting for it. I've been running with the phone in my pocket, but I get scared that it might get jostled to death.
they have armbands at walmart for ipods, I use it for biking. the phone fits perfectly with it and I can still use the touch screen also. its in the fitness section and its about $8.

wait and see what Tmo got
I have just ordered
iGadgitz Neoprene Gym Jogging Armband for Apple iPod Classic 80gb,
120gb & 160gb
Will post my findings, it got good ratings though.
Compared to ipod the Magic is like 10mm higher, 20mm thinner and not much slimmer. I THINK. Erm
EDIT: fits in well enough, feels secure, I like! I feel the need to mention Buddy runner here, awesome app.
t-mobile price tag $40.00, no thanks !

They charge a lot for just about every accessory...
The rep at one of the t-mo stores here gave me the white charger and red gel for the price of the kit with the black charger and black gel...but I didn't get the mug included. Oh well, my wife got what she wanted for $10 less than I paid for them individually.
The store did not have the fitness kit. Wonder if they'll start selling the arm band separately. $5 arm band + $5 belt + $30 water bottle...lol.
There is a solution right now. I've used it for months on my Dream, but now that it's gone to that great cellphone store in the sky (phone died while flashing new rom) , I plan on using it for the Magic.
It all involves a case made by a company called Krusell. They make very high quality leather cases for both the magic and the dream . On the back is a mount that allows you to use your phone for running, bicycling, in your car, or just clip it in your pocket securely without the ugly clips that other companies use.
All of this is purchasable through Amazon.
Here is the link for the case for the Dream
http://www.amazon.com/Krusell-75431...12?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1256415764&sr=1-112
and here is the link for the sports pack
http://www.amazon.com/Krusell-Multi..._1_1?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1256416577&sr=1-1
Now I'm willing to bet with a little bit of creative effort (and some superglue) you could pick up a less expensive case , and just scavenge the mount off the back of it. (for example the blackberry pearl case uses the same mount, but its 1/2 the price off of Amazon.)
had pretty good experience with this armband
http://www.staples.com/Griffin-Streamline-Sport-Armband-for-iPod/product_792628?cmArea=SEARCH
It has some flaws: back is not insulated so I had to wear it over my sleeve, a little hard to operate through thick front skin. But in general it's inexpensive, fits pretty well and does it job
I bought this Tunebelt. It is for the iPod Touch but fits the Magic like a glove. There is a hole in the bottom for headphone connector and you can control your touch when running.
I also use Cardio Trainer from the market and it is great.
SAMBO, Do you still like the iGadgetz armband?
Any new good Arm Band?
Or
Is Tune Belt AB5 worth the extra 7 £ compared to iGadgitz Neoprene?

I have one question about the Igadgitz. Is it possible to connect your headphones i the center-bottom, where the usb is placed on an Magic? I cant find at picture that confirms this possibillity
I use this one for some months now and I am totally happy with it:
iarmbands.com/LARGE-ARM-Universal-fit-Arm-Band-uab-010.htm
You can connect your headphones through a hole at the bottom but I prefer a stereo bluetooth handsfree. I bought this one from ebay:
dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.8422
Definitely it isn't the best around but it is very handy when running because you can easily pause/skip tracks/adjust volume.
This is a placeholder for chat about Moto Defy accessories!
Well first thing, I wish there were epikcases for the defy. I sent a message to dcmugen and he said they'd check into it. Probably unnecessary, I know, but a bit of extra protection never hurts. $400 is $400...
gel case
All I want is a TPU gel case (not silicone), at moment I'm finding it very hard to find one here in the uk, the only one I can find on ebay is from the US and comes to about £10 (usually pay about £3 for them. I guess its just because its early days. The phone is rugged but the case is gonna get damaged if it accidently gets dropped, so for me these cases are a must. The amount of times I have dropped my hero with one of these on and it has just bounced is testimony!
As if by magic over night a load of these have appeared on ebay.co.uk - just bought a black and blue one for £1.99 each inc delivery. Just search "defy gel"
Plz post a few shots when you get them, I'd love to see how the Defy looks with a condom.
I've dropped mine 500 times so far, but never on concrete or anything like that. So far...
Samsung dock - £10
Executive Case - £5
Slip Case - £3
Car Charger - £3
Mains Charger - £5
Screen Protector - £3
Think it's in store only managed to pick up want I need froma couple of local stores.
You got the HDMI dock for only £10?
****, color me jelly.
This must be store specific
I've just tried my local Tesco Extra (Kingston Park) and all they have is a 3rd party silicone case for £6.99 (was £14.99)
Pity, would have been interested in the the Samsung executive case.
i was just about to post this, i went into tesco about 20mins ago, my wife decided she wanted to hoover my usb lead up, anyways the price on the logo for the car charger was about £20 but £3 at the till, with this in mind i decided to pick up the dock and and that was tagged as £20 but £10 at the till.
i ended up getting 3 car chargers as they are just standard usb leads with the car adaptor usb connector.
for less than £20 i got 3 car chargers and 1 dock, pretty damn good imho.
i think they are all wrongly priced so just take one to the till and ask them to check the prices
I got all of the Official Samsung accessories for next to nothing from my local Tesco.
Most expensive thing was the dock at £9.97, all other accessories were either £2.97 or £6.97.
Assistant told me that they were discontinued lines, hence the cheap prices.
Weirdly though, the silicone case was more expensive than the leather ones!
no tesco in australia..
Damn, nothing at my local Tesco and the online prices aren't reduced.
I'd gladly reimburse anyone who could get me a dock (and any other bits).
OK, turns out I'm an idiot. The other day I rang the store and asked for the Telecom shop who only stock a silicone case.
I went into the store this morning on the way to work and picked up the car charger and screen protectors for £3 each.
I really want the executive case so I'm calling back later to see if they're expecting any more in, otherwise I'll go for the leather slip case.
Thanks to the OP for the heads up
Update: tried another store who'd earlier told me on the phone that they don't stock them (after tapping away on a computer for 10 seconds) and have returned with the Executive case for £4.97, result!

Just a heads up, its friggin cheap right now on amazon.
I'm going to have to look into getting the HD Charging Dock.
It'll hook up to the TV with HDMI and charges the phone. Now, I can already do that since my charging cord is near my micro-hdmi cord hooked to the TV, but still, for only nine bucks it isn't a bad price for it.
And we're only $150 new (ATT version) and $85 used (both from Amazon). We're almost to the point where it's a decent idea to get another AHD for future parts. Checked eBay and Amazon is cheaper for used Atrix HDs right now.
//When my family upgraded the contract we all got Atrix HDs and each one came with a free car dock. I use mine as an alarm clock stand on the table next to my bed. Neither of my parents use theirs, though my Dad keeps one in the truck in case we do need it for a long trip, finding an odd location for a job...basically for gps...

I have tried to purchase for Atrix HD Charging Dock but amazon cannot verify my visa card (still can do it with ebay ) and I must wait for nearly 2 months for money to come back. :silly:
I have it and it has some issues... the grip is too lose with no way of tightening it.
With the bumpy EU roads, it only takes a mile and its already looking almost straight down... useless as it is.
For those of you that don't have prime anymore and don't need $35 worth of crap...this for $8 shipped might work out better for a lot of you: http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-GPS-Veh...3580?pt=US_Mounts_Holders&hash=item27e0b3f10c
I think I'll stick with my Aduro U-Grip for now though, it does a good job and is a lot more versatile.

That sucks....and somehow I'm able to get packages from China in under 2 weeks. Longest wait was three weeks, but we were in the middle of a snow & ice storm.

Have you tried some spray adhesive or JB Weld? Spray a layer on, let it dry, test, and repeat as necessary or spread a thin layer of JB Weld (or anything that dries really, really hard). A plastic on plastic rubbing design for grip really isn't the best one to go with for something intended to be used in a vehicle...but if you bulk it up a bit it should hold better. Like I said, I use mine as an alarm clock stand so the crappy grip isn't a big deal and kind of preferred.
And Arkansas roads are probably just as bad as EU roads so I understand.

Good price on that.
If that U-Grip had a built in charger I'd be in love.
So I bought one of these guys on ebay and In the description it said the power button was broken it had a buy it now for $40 it said it also came with the cradle so I figured sure I'll buy it. I received it today, it honestly looked brand new never used before the protective plastic was still on the screen camera and buckle one problem tho the cradle was not with the watch bummer so I searched and I came across some home made remedies and surprisingly it worked it charged right up turned on everything worked fine on it now I'm just waiting to hear back from the seller about the cradle but still going to buy another one from Samsung but just figured I'd share this lol now I need to find some cool things I can do with this watch any advice?
I just bought one from nomorerack.com. They're refurbs, but they're $88 + s/h (usually $2 per item). Comes with box, cradle, power cable... the whole deal. Got mine a couple of days ago.
