Can anyone recommend a good armband for the Shift? I like to take my phone for music while running, and an armband would be sweet. I would want something that keeps the phone secure, though, and most that I see are always open. I would probably wear it on my forearm so that I could get to it, and having an opening on any side would be bad. If all else fails, I could wear it on my bicep and leave the opening at the top.

Oh, that one looks pretty cool. Not just an opening at the top, exactly. Thanks for the pointer.
Riggs, I went ahead and got this one, and it's pretty decent. Not exactly a glove-like fit, but it does the job, and it's comfortable to wear. Thanks again.

Man, it pays to browse these threads every now and then. This is what I've been looking to get since I've started training again. Awesome!
That's a pretty nice arm band for cheap, but I generally like belt clips better.

pre-ordered a couple weeks ago, cant wait to get this thing in!

anyone else find this little stand amazing!?
Cool idea. Not sure if it'll work with the rubberized back of the NC. The original Nook doesnt have that kind of back I understand...
Looks pretty awesome I must say. They even have a nook color image amung the compatible devices shown. Pre-orders are taken here: http://www.padpivot.com/
$25 is a great deal.
You struck gold... that is spot on what I was looking for!!!!

The original Nook does have a rubberized back, but it's a different style/texture to the NC. I can't tell how that pedestal attaches, is it glued on?
Looks like a gel/rubber sticky pad much like those anti-slip pads you toss on the dash for a GPS unit.
Get it wet and let it air dry like those jelly slime toys you toss at the wall and it creeps down.
At least that is how it looks on the site and based on the FAQ.
The video does show a NC, but they don't mention it on the site. Might be worth an email to them.
Does it do vert?
Doesnt look like it is available to pre order anymore... bummer.
I seriously thought about it, but decided against it. I just don't find myself in a position that that would be useful. How often do people set it on their lap and use it hands free?
It doesnt have to be used on your lap. I would like it to use on the plane when watching movies.
Ah, I already have a few stands I can use for that.
Ordered 4.
I want to order 2 but it says pre orders are full
If anyone has an extra one once they ship please pm me and I will buy it from you. This is perfect for what I need

No, and in an attempt to discourage large people from flying, they're reducing seat width as well. Which brings me to my total OT idea... tickets based on weight!
Here is a stand for all you Nook Users. Just ordered and will see how it works. There are some photos with NC's on them already.

It works great! I use it every day at work.
Now by god, that looks perfect. I will definitely be getting one of these for watching movies in bed out on the road.
Should have gone with the Spiderpodium. http://shop.ebay.com/?_from=R40&_trksid=p5197.m570.l1313&_nkw=spiderpodium&_sacat=See-All-Categories
You can hang or sit your nook from/on just about anything with that. Plus you can use it to wrap around your hand when your holding it. The non-tablet version works fine. I just got one last week, and I haven't been without it since.

It's still pretty awesome and versatile. It's also slim enough that I never have to take it off, so I always have a stand.
http://padpivot.com/ im waiting for this one to be released

Nice, like that it fits a leg, but its almost as big as the nook itself. Not great for travel.
I have the Arkon and love it.
has anyone checked out the OEM one from b&n?? saw it in store the other day but didnt open the box to see how it performed or how compact it was.....cant even find it online either so thats odd
If your debating on ordering the Arkon, get it! I use it while watching movies on my Nook and I love it.
I joined the Arkon club!
Will the nook tip over or not be stable if it is incased in the silicone case/ with this stand? Thanks

Very doubtful considering it was designed for thicker tablets like the Xoom, Galaxy, G-tab, etc.
It can also be adjusted to many different positions to counteract any stability issues you might have. I believe the Amazon link shows a Nook with case on it.
This stand is pretty good. My only complaint is that in portrait mode I can't figure a way to have it charge at the same time as using it. Other than that the stand is perfect!

Are you referring to the folding one that looks like it fits a picture frame? That looked durable and it was only $15, but I can't find one online either. The guy also wouldn't take one out of the box to try it.
Comes with 2 micro usb socket thingy
1 cord
And a pry tool to remove the micro usb
Only problem is finding the right case for it.
Also in order for the fast charging and syncing to work. You have to make sure you connect the cord with the light facing you.
Pretty much it. I like it so far!
Damn this looks pretty cool. Have you noticed any downsides to it? (Besides having to take the magnetic charger everywhere you go to actually use it)

Slower data transfer. But it might be because it was a twrp backup. Which is around 7 to 8gbs. (My battery last all day so I never have to bring it with me).
If you could find a bumper case that covered the bottom, then carve out the shape of the mag-charger into it that might look good as it'll be flush.
Tpu case works. (After you cut it).

How is it with pulling the cable out? I saw a review that said as soon as you pull the cable off the micro usb part comes out with the cable?

Nope. Not yet. It's a pretty tight fit. Was it with a 6edge? I guess different phones have different tightness.

how does this go on? have a video to show how to install?
There are loads of YouTube videos if you search.
All you do is remove the buckle and pin from the strap, and attach the butterfly deployment instead. The other end of the butterfly deployment slides over the other strap with the holes, which locks in place depending on your wrist diameter. That's it!
Personally I find it comfortable all day.

Yes! Just got mine and installed, and I have girl wrists (2nd-to-last hole on the band). Works great, so far.
After 4 months everyday wear, I can't unfortunately recommend it anymore.
It appears to have 'worn out' with any slight movement of my wrist the clasp now releases.

I gave it a try several times and it appears the stiffness of the LG band is causing this clasp to undo much easier than intended, I am back to the original "buckle" as well. I believe if the LG material is made softer like the S3's and tappered, then the butterfly clasp would work well.
Got Mine
Got this in black last week. Works very nice. going to order one for my Urbane 2 as well. seems narrower is smaller though...
Takes a bit of getting used to putting it on etc but after few days its all good.

Too bad, at less than 12$, it looked like a winner. Maybe it is worth a second try if you were satisfied during the first 4 months. Thanks for keeping us informed.
Anyone try one on a Note 8? I never actually used one on my own phone. Was testing out on my brother phone, not note 8. Seemed pretty handy and useful. I don't wanna waste $10-20 on one, if it's not good with Note. So trying to get opinions from people who used on Note 8.
Opinions? Suggestions? Please & thanks!

one of them looks like a door knob. I do get the value of functionality of these things but god does it make the phone look prehistoric/abominable .
I have an ultra thin phone ring with magnetic capabilities so that I can mount it in the car. 3mm thick. Works great. Stuck it onto a dbrand skin rather than an open back. I can not only wireless charge with it but also fit it in a VR headset.
Thought of using something like this before but decided not too when i realized it would be hard to write on my phone with the spen while placed on top of a table. The phone would just be wobbly since it wont be flat on the table
This 1 might be just right. Got funded 4Xs over goal.

You could try Loopy case. I use it on my Note 8 and absolutely love it. I have small hands but with this i can reach every corner of my phone. Had a few on my previous phones and im impressed. Daughter has pop sockets, other filmsy rings-straps and after trying them my opinion is that loop is way better.
