I was looking at getting a car kit for the longest time and finally found one that meets my liking. The only thing is it's price ($119.95). Before I actually buy it I was wondering if anyone has any experience in this one?

Or alternatively if anyone has any other one they recommend it'll be greatly appreciated!
Thanks!
Just talked to the sales support at buygpsnow.com and they told me of upcoming support for the titan. Here's the link in case you want a look. They estimate shipping on the first week of Feb. You can preorder this coming monday. Price pending.

Doesn't look as good as the Seidio one though. And I rather have the built in speaker than the FM transmitter. But if it follows the same pricing, it'll cost 3 times less.
(btw. First post. I've been a master lurker. =D )
First of all I would like to say wow! What an amazing forum. Best I've seen on anything relating to Winmo.
After seeing so much advancement at Opal development (including the recent rom for 6.5), I began thinking of getting one myself. The cheapest one I found was
$191 at gadget circle
then
$219 at TimTechs
and
$226 at Plemix
Are these deal too good to be true? Anyone have any past experience with these dealers?
Thanks!
Here in Italy I buyed it for € 250,00 about two months ago
man i wish i would have seen this sooner. i just ordered mine, 236 shipped.
oh well, just my luck. but it will be here soon so oh well.
plemix takes 10 dollars off of orders if you use the youtube10 redemtion code.
ive never really looked, or heard of gadget circle (guess i should book mark it). i have heard of timtechs
shipping prices at gadget circle dont seem right, less than 6 dollars? i dont know about that
I ordered my phone from Timtechs. It came to $250 with shipping. I ordered it very early Tuesday morning like 1 am. I got it today at 10am it was the fastest shipping ever. The phone came just as expected the box was a lil' beat up but i think that is fedex and they gave me the CDs and manuals for the touch 3G but that fine really didn't need them anyway. What they don't tell you is that it ships from Hong Kong. I wasn't till i got the fedex tracking did i see where it came from. On their site it said it was based in DE but i got my phone all the same so I don't care. Overall I have been very happy with my experience with them, and I probably would/going to order from them again. And they even gave me a niffy Timtechs sack YAY!
PS I think gadgetcircle and timtechs are the same company. their website look very similar and customer service description are the exact same. and to get a phone shipped to the US I had to order more than $400 on gadgetciricle
Sorry about that skaroger. And thanks for the tip
Good to hear that ginronin. Thanks for the input as well.
its all good man, set to be here tomorrow. and i ordered thursday.
191 is a hell of a price, especially if its true. i wouldnt pass up on that if you were thinking of purchasing one.
i already got a bunch of software ready to install when i get my phone
For the life of me, I cannot figure out why Google and Samsung seemingly refuse to develop a competent and attractive keyboard solution. Especially with the Microsoft Surface Touch and Type covers selling so well with the actual Surface. The Nexus 10 has such an ideal connector in the pogo pins, and creating a keyboard dock with a hinge could not possibly involve heavy R&D costs. The market is clearly there. I would love to see a third party maker, like the creators of the ClamCase for the iPad, come up with a solution. The new ClamCase Pro is absolutely beautiful and greatly increases the productivity potential of the iPad. I'd buy one for the Nexus 10 in a heartbeat. I suppose I should not be surprised as we have yet to see an official pogo charger, although the one I bought works rather well, from either Samsung or Google. Both are doing a horrendous job of supporting a flagship tablet.
That was the rant portion of this post, my apologies.
I'm very curious to see what the best solutions everyone has come up with. Yes, I have perused all the other threads regarding the topic, and I've found the answers and workarounds less than appealing. So unless Google and Samsung miraculously come to their senses and release an accessory that should have been available 3 months ago, I'm hoping that one of the brilliant minds on here will spark some hope or joy into my search. So if you don't mind, please share your ideas, opinions, and possible solutions that I may be able to try out and attempt to assuage my growing frustration.
I just hook up a Bluetooth keyboard and put the tablet on a stand.
From a business standpoint, it's a waste of good R&D money to try to develop an integrated keyboard solution for a tablet. Nexus devices always have vestigial ports and plugs, and this is just due to Google's lazy practice of axing a particular feature over cost concerns, and then they just ask the hardware manufacturer to leave the remnants of it in rather than spend more money revising the design.
People that really need keyboards and mice will already have a preferred Bluetooth or OTG USB solution, meanwhile the OS itself doesn't require nor is it designed around those input devices. Personally I find it annoying and slow to use the OS with a mouse and keyboard, and only use the keyboard if I have a table nearby and need to type for extended periods of time. If such an occasion wasn't so rare, I probably would have bought an actual laptop or Chromebook instead.
Microsoft makes a point of marketing the Surface as more of a business device, but the RT still fell flat in that regard (wtf no Active Directory integration?), and the Pro is obscenely expensive for a device that doesn't offer any additional business features that can't be accomplished by a cheaper Windows 8 laptop. Keyboards and mice on tablets are niche features, and most people balked at the fact that a touch cover for the Surface RT costs an extra $100, which was also a pretty terrible keyboard overall. Google wasn't ready to make the same mistake, because historically Samsung charges obscene amounts of money for their accessories as well.
If given the choice between a $30 Motorola Bluetooth keyboard that requires its own batteries, or a $70-$100 Samsung keyboard that hooks into the pogo pins, I'd prefer the $30 option. I use my tablet like a tablet, and use a desktop or laptop when I need to do actual work. Trying to shoehorn my tablet into being a laptop replacement often ends in failure and disappointment, so I just accepted its limitations and moved on.
i've just ordered this keyboard. looks nice.

At last!!! I've been checking this accessories subforum since the Nexus 10's release waiting for one. I wonder if I can sell my logitech keyboard that I never use. Please please let us know how it works. Kind of can't believe it took this long
also, you can find it cheaper here:

i discovered this link after i ordered...but in my case it's the same thing due to shipping cost to Europe.
edit: as soon as i receive the keyboard, i would let you know how is working.
Sweet, can't wait for a review!

Interesting. Looks identical to the Minisuit Case I order a couple weeks ago that is still on preorder:
http://www.minisuit.com/p-1723-google-nexus-10-keyboard-stand-case.aspx
Maybe it's time to cancel that order and go with Amazon.

I don't know if that would make a difference. I ordered mine a couple days ago and Amazon estimates three to six weeks for delivery. I will let you know if I get it sooner.

Thanks. I didn't cancel and will also keep you posted.
I see now that minisuit has changed the picture to the black one - it was originally the brushed aluminum - so this should be a fun wait and see experience.
I received an email today saying they are out of the black ones until next weekend if I want to wait or they can send me a silver now. Either way they're offering a 20% refund for the inconvenience. I'm not sure what I'm going to do yet. I wanted the black one.

I got the same email, lots of spelling mistakes and bad english. Only $26 so figured I'd just wait.

I've made up my mind to wait for the black one as well. I'll let you all know of my experience when I receive it.

Black is back on sale again, pricing is a few bucks more expensive. Just bought one, didn't want to wait for reviews.

I noticed from the pictures that this clam-shell keyboard and the other 2 i found on amazon all have a big piece of plastic that sticks out right in front of the space-bar key... i suppose its necessary for it to close properly with the N10....
When anyone gets it, please let us know if it get on the way of typing normally!
Thanks!
So any reviews?
Yeah I have been watching these keyboards as well. I love how they snap onto the nexus to protect it. :thumbup:

No one has received one yet, though I did get a message from mini suit about10 mins ago that mine has shipped in the brushed aluminum varietal.
As soon as I have it I'll post some photos and a review.
Just bought this today! Been watching a4c.com (and others) dailey because I knew they sell for this price periodically and today is one of those one day sales. I'm too new to post a link, but easy to find..
Sale's over, price is back to $184.95, but shows out of stock. Looking forward to my GWR arrival.
My GWR arrived today, rather slow shipping. However the watch seems to be in A1 shape, given it's a refurb that's good news.
Damn, I missed it. I really want one.
I find it way more attractive than the Urbane, and it has the same specs (right?)
I kept the page open in my browser and every morning for almost two weeks I refreshed the page. Could hardly believe when that Saturday morning it popped up for the price I had been waiting for.
Sometimes they discount them by using a coupon code, so I had another page open that list codes and would refresh that one too everyday.
I had setup a Google alert, but they tend to show up the next day causing you to miss one day sales. As you can see, I earned this one! Slow shipping, but the watch is perfect.
Yeah, pretty sure the guts are the same as the Urbane.
Anybody use it with the z2? Heard it not great with z1, but wonder if updates and an updated phone help.
Just bought it last night at Best Buy. Funny story.. I went to look for it because my wife and I are going on vacation next week. Normal price was for $299. This Best Buy I was at happened to have one left in stock. When I called the employee over to take it out of the glass cabinet, I saw it on sale for $229. I asked him, is this for real!? He looks at it, takes it to his supervisor, and they sell it to me for $229. Come to find out that was the Black Friday sale price, and no employee ever bothered to take it down. How hilarious that it had been there for over a month and I happened to be the lucky soul that got it at that price.
Anyway, I'll happily report my findings here when I get to it!
I think you are mistaken. In available stores it has been $225 for a while now.
(I cant post links as I am new member but look up bestbuy website)
I bought mine before Christmas along with 2 other mods and got an additional 25% off. I think that offer too is still available now.
I have it now. The zoom does work well. The flash really helps in low light.
Some times a pain to use it again after going to another app or review pictures as it closes.
Got it new off eBay for 200. Still to much if you ask me.
I have it. It's decent and zoom works great for kids sporting events... Processing and quality still isn't as good as Samsung or pixel or iPhone...
