Clip On Stand for Apple Bluetooth Keyboard

Hello all... I'm new to this forum but have found it quite helpful in my quest to optimize and get every bit of juice out of my HD2. I have looked through so many posts trying to find information on stands as I have just purchased my apple bluetooth keyboard for use as a note taking device at school. I was going to buy another eeepc after I sold mine, but realized that with the keyboard this baby is actually quite powerful enough to be a baby computer at school. A lot of the stands seem really cool but I was wondering if anyone had found or figured out a way to modify a stand that could securely clip onto the space at the top of the apple keyboard.
Attached is a link to an image of the keyboard to give you an idea of what I'm working with. Seems the space at the top is about an inch. As I can't seem to find one I can buy yet, I've been trying to think of ways I could create a clip on from one of the stands like the smart stand but thought I'd throw this out to you guys for some ideas as I'm not getting very far. Sorry if this has been covered before, but I did do a lot of searching and didn't seem to find anything like this in particular so thought I'd post.
And, btw, I'm Elle. Nice to meet you guys.

Cool idea...let us know if you figure something out.

The whole concept just sounds strange to me. Using a small phone with a massive keyboard just to do some notes. Granted both devices are beautiful but working them both together, er no.
However each to their own and all. I can't think of a way to attach them together which wouldn't inherently ruin either the phone or keyoard but what I'd do if I was so inclined to use them both together, would be maybe buy the extended battery with kickstand and then use it like the image below (obviously you wouldn't need to lean your phone against the wall with the kickstand ).
I fail to see why the HD2 needs to be attached to the keyboard in the first place .
Update - my girlfriend has suggested you just use a bit of blu-tac lol.

That's what I've been doing, just without an appropriate stand but a self-created one. It's actually a rather cool setup; this is the smaller version of the keyboard and it decreases the weight I carry around immensely. The keyboard syncs wonderfully, I just thought it might be cool if there was a way to attach it to the keyboard. I'll let you guys know if I figure anything out specifically, there seems to be some interesting ways to manufacture a simple clip on that I'm figuring out the details for at the moment.

Did you ever figure out a simple stand? I just bought one of these keyboards. and it paired perfectly and all the keys work, except the specialized function keys.
Compared to other available bluetooth keyboards (Stowaway, Freedom, etc.), this one is probably overall less space (by volume) and lighter.
Cheers

Capdase stand
hi. Just to let you know that this stand actually works.
Alright, ignoring the iPhone (it sux anyways. ), the translucent stand thats holding the phone actually fits the hd2. Not only that, I have the silicon casing around the hd2 and the stand still fits! Of course, it stretches as the iphone is of a smaller width. How do i know? I tested my bro's stand and it has been with me since. Lets just say that the holder was no longer meant for the iphone due to the bigger hd2. I.e. Its mine!
P.s It goes horizontal and vertical.

There's a couple of threads on make-your-own stands My favourite is the credit-card one, which you then fold out whenever you need it. Keep it in your wallet/as part of your phone case and you're there!

Old thread, but anyway the extended battery with it's kickstand would do this amazingly

Is there a problem holding the note?

Guys I'm really debating the skyrocket or this phone. But if I have small hands you think I should just screw it and get the skyrocket?
Or is there no problem holding this.

small is relative.
My suggestion - make a mockup out of cardboard and test it out in your hands/pockets/etc. It's about two layers of cardboard thick.

No matter how small your hands, this phone is easy to use two-handed and a little tough to use one-handed. (My GF has tiny hands and manages to use my phone fine...)
Try going to a store and playing with a demo piece if you can. You'll be surprised how light it is and how easy to handle too...

afew of my ladies friends used this phone despite their hands are obviously smaller than guys. And 2 handed use is not a problem. I do find it hard to use with one handed without the need of tweeking my hands.

[Q] Thinking of buying this phone.Need your opinions.

So, as the title says, I'm thinking of buying this phone. What's the pros and cons? Is the screen too big? Does it fit in your pocket? Is it practical?
Really need your opinions, Note owners!
Regards

Its been answered a million times but yeah when you first get it it will seem to big buts its not..
it fits perfect in all of my pants pockets with no issues..unless you wear skinny jeans or something i dont see why it wouldnt..
i mean you wont be doing things one handed like a smaller phone but this is the best phone i have ever owned.

Same here! This is by far the best phone i've owned and i have had iPhone 3gs, iPhone 4 and Lumia 800. It feels really big when you take it to your hand first time. But like said, it's still very portable and after a while you'll notice that: "damn, how small those 3,5" screens are". I can't imagine of using a phone with smaller screen than this anymore. I just don't want to. ha ha!
The screen is fantastic!! Reading, typing, watching videos, playing games...etc. is just wonderful. I'll say, go for it!

The screen is definitely awesome and you will not want to go back to anything smaller. I have had an iphone 3GS, Atrix, and Blackberry and the Note is definitely my favorite. It fits in my pockets as well. I typically keep it in my back pocket, but that's just me. Like MrDSL said, unless you have skinny jeans it should be fine. It is definitely practical in my opinion.
Warning:
You might get people asking you "Is that a phone or a tablet?" or other crazy questions. I just smile.

The phone is definitely big, but... the screen simply destroys any other phone. I bought the Note several monts after my ASUS Transformer and I can say if you have good eyesight it can easily replace a 10.1" tablet for web surfing and movies.
Another advantage is the size of the on-screen keyboard. In landscape mode is so big I found mor confortable to use Thumb Keyboard for a split one.
Is a great phone... a little big maybe but its thinness makes it very pocketable.

just do it

Don't even think about cons, there aren't any!
Buy it and you will change the way you see smartphones. I have it 6 months and even now i would choose it over HTC One X. The screen is beautiful, the s-pen is perfect and the power is limitless ;-)

too big for one hand use. too awesome for everything else.
Best battery backup too.

I've owned about 60 phones through the years including a couple of iPhones, and the Note is the most badass gadget i've ever owned. It's the device i dreamt about 10 years ago.
It may look too big at first, but after a day or two, not so. I'm never getting anything with a smaller screen after this.

Best phone I have ever owned. My last phone was the Desire HD and I actually don't notice the Note in my pockets as much as that phone. Its fast, light, great screen, good connection with 3g, wifi, bluetooth etc. Highly recommended.

Agree with all the comments cept I would add that it even fits in my skinny jeans pockets. Personally can't even imagine myself with an s3...

And why is that?

- It looks like something girls without tampons would use for a couple of days a month (pads)
- The specs doesn't impress me. I didn't expect much, but still.. Not worth it.

Concerned about Nexus 6's size

Hello everyone,
I am considering buying a Nexus 6 as soon as it's available in my country. I've had a Nexus 7 since 2012 and I love the pure Google experience, with the release of the Nexus 6 I think it's finally time for an upgrade from my low end phone.
The only thing that is concerning me is the fact that it's a really large phone and I don't know how I'll adapt to it. I am a student and use public transportation and walk a lot and carrying such a big phone in my jeans pocket doesn't seem very practical (will I even be able to move my leg?). Plus since it's bigger it's harder to conceal from potencial "predators!".
I'd like hear some feedback from users that use a big phone on a daily basis and how they make it more practical, comfortable and safe to use in public. (Besides using a case and having insurance, because I definitely will!!)

I am still waiting for my phone. I have tested one out in a store and can confirm it will not fit in any of my pockets, apart from sticking out the back pocket. This has yet to deter me though, lol. Curious about everyone's opinion though.

its not as big as you imagine it to be. it fits in my back pocket and coat pocket just fine.

Take this for what you want, but after 2 weeks with my Nexus 6, my Galaxy S4 that I keep for work feels small.

I have a case and tempered glass on mine, it's large but fits fine in my front pants pocket and most of my shirt pockets. After a single day of use my nexus 5 feels too small now. I have average size hands and don't find any issues with it except at times pulling down the notification bar.

after a week, my nexus 5 feels small

I was at the bar the other night and the bartender gave me her phone to input my info. It was like a child's toy (iPhone 5 something or other). Trust me: you'll get used to/fall in love with the size in about 24 hours.
In fact, I"d go so far to say that the Nexus 6 has RUINED me for any size under 5.9" now. THANKS GOOGLE/MOTOROLA!!

There's no reason the nexus 6 shouldn't fit in any guys pants pockets.
It's a great device.

After only using phablets, it is one of those things that after you have a bigger phone, you can almost never go back.

Yeah man. Like others have said, you get used to it. I was used to the size within minutes lol. My HTC one m8 feels inadequate and petite. Like I'm holding an old iPhone 5 or something. It feels so natural and I'm not sure how we functioned before

Fits perfectly fine in my front pocket.. as others have said, you get used to it. I was laughing at my wife trying to use the internet on her little iPhone.. how cute.

To be honest it's not a big phone. After using it now for 2.5 weeks I think it could almost be bigger. I came from s G3 which to meet is really tiny and the Nexus is easy for me to use one handed. I'm 5'8" and average build.
The Nexus is much easier to use than my old Note 3. I would try it out and see how you like it.

It fits in my dress pant, but anything else is difficult unless it has thigh pocket. I do agree that after using the phone for a few day, I don't want to go back to a small phone

I live in new York City and my way of getting around the city is exactly like yours op. I walk to the train station, take the train, walk to where I need to be and the phone fits perfectly well in my pocket. I can walk the same as I did before and it doesn't feel any different.
It probably helps I had a oneplus one before this which was 5.5. Sometimes the corner of the phone awkwardly pokes the pockets but it doesn't matter.
If the phone impresses you, get it and then the size will pay off in the long run when getting used to using the device

I got mine a couple weeks ago and it still feels huge and a little awkward to use. However, when I pick up a smaller phone, like the Nexus 5, I find that I don't like that size as much anymore and couldn't imagine giving up the large screen. It fits in any pocket I use just fine. Carrying it isn't an issue.
I am not sure what I will do when the next Nexus (or whatever ) ends up being released since I highly doubt Google will stick with this size of phone. I believe they chose this size simply because the Nexus program was going to end but then the Silver program never took off so they needed a new nexus phone and Motorola's unreleased phablet was the perfect candidate due to timing. I bet they would have rather used the Droid Turbo type platform but Verizon obviously had that phone tied up.
Anyway, if the next Nexus ends up being much smaller it will be hard to go back. I wouldn't go Samsung because I like stock(ish) Android that Google uses so I am really not sure.

Don't buy it if you want to stay normal. Otherwise, your perception of phone screen sizes will be ruined. Everything else will be small once you own the Nexus 6 and you will never would want anything smaller. It ruined me...
I bought the Xperia Z3 a month before I bought the N6 and I thought the Z3 was huge. After handling the N6, Z3 seems very tiny, like a child's toy....I still love using the Z3 but the bigger size of the N6 along with its snappiness, meaning fast, makes it hard for me to pick up the Z3. So I feel like a fool carrying two phones with one SIM card, with the card on the Z3. The only thing that's holding me back on putting the SIM card on the N6 is the battery life. The Z3 got some crazy long battery life. I worked 12 hours one time, started with the phone fully charged and on the phone constantly throughout the shift, came home that day with still 56% left on the battery. If I did the same with the N6, I'd be empty after maybe 6 hours.

Just don't wear tight jeans. Tying your shoes can have a bit discomfort! lol. Other than that Shorts, Dress-Pants, etc. And this is all from the front right pocket where i keep mine. Never in the rear.

How's the Size

hello guys,
I am currently contemplating on whether or not to purchase the Nexus 6. I currently have a Nexus 4 now, had it ever since launch. With the recent price cut, I a tempted to try out the Nexus 6! The only thing holding me back is the size, I am a fairly slim guy and wear fitted pants (not super skinny, but slim). Would I have trouble carry this thing around? And do you think the phone is worth 499, or are there better options out there.
Thank you for the input
J.

The phone is a great size, fits in pants really well. I can fully hold the phone with 1 hand when checking notifications, but my thumb does not reach the notification bar easily, so I use Nova Launcher swipe down gesture for easier access (I don't even realize it now. It was never a big issue for me in the first place).
If your pants are on the slim side, I would not recommend the Nexus, especially if you carry your wallet in your front (opposite) pocket like me.I workout and have bigger than normal thighs, and carrying my phone and wallet in front pockets (in my relaxed fit pants) and my pants stretch out, sometimes they feel uncomfortable (too tight).
But never have I thought about giving up this phone, it's just go amazing.
The deciding factor, since you said you are skinny, is if you can easily fit your hand in your pants pocket. If you can, get the phone. If your hand is tight in your pocket, where you have to kind of force your hand in, then get a smaller phone, that will be easier to take in/out of your pocket(s).

Phone always in my back pocket. I even sat on it so many times and this phone is solid like a rock. 2 words. GET IT.

At first it will seem big.After a few days you will have no issues except the size of your pockets!
All the basic functions can be used with one hand.
It is a great smartphone (allthough i wish it had more phablet apps/usage like note series)

Get the phone and then go get bigger pockets lol. It's worth it.

At first I was skeptical but then I bit the bullet and ordered one for my Project Fi tryout. I love this mammoth of phone and the 6" screen stands out when you view pictures, don't know why but it just appear to be very immersive.

Went from the Nexus 4 to the Big 6! Yeah, for the first day it feels large. But you quickly get used to it. There's so much made of its size. But compared to my wife's HTC M8. There's not really that much difference. The only down side I feel is the forced encryption nexus 6 for us who no longer feel the need to root or flash from stock. Should have been optional.
Besides that, the extra screen size is a great edition as I now no longer feel I need to replace my aging GTab2. That takes car of my ebooks and car sat nav. The Nexus 6 is everything else.
