a cheap stand for the nook

so here i was with a leather case for my nook but it did not have a stand and i desperately wanted to have a stand whenever i want to watch a video and leave my hands free. I supposed it can get a picture easel and use that but since i am already carrying my nook, i wanted something i can easily carry in my pocket. A new case with stand is probably $25-$40 - and i am sure my wife would want the same for her nook a well - so instead i went down my local computer store and bought a cable wrap for $7 -

so i connect to ends to get the strap longer, insert the pins through the cable holes - with the kit i bought i can make 2 of these (one for me and the other for my wife)
and now i can watch my videos hand free in landscape
or in portrait (with the help of a stick)

That's a lot of ingenuity right here. Or, you could stop at the nearest Walmart and buy a fold-down photo frame stand for $2.

uhh if you read the post it did say i could do that but that wouldn't fit in my pocket now

Have you seen those stands? They fold down completely flat and are less then 7 inches long. How much more pocktable do you want to go?

to each his own, i don't need a 7 inch stand in my pocket to make me feel like a man

Good job! I think part of the fun of buying a piece of technology early (in this case it's not early, but still early in the accessories game) is creating solutions to things that work for you that others have either not made or have made too expensively! I, too, was working on a case/stand combo (on paper) as I had not bought a case yet, and just when I was about to go out and spend a good amount of money on it, I find rooCASE has made exactly what I was going to (and for slightly cheaper than I woulda spent). So I lost out in the fun of building it, but I did have fun thinking of all the different things I "could" do!

Not as cheap but I got this stand on amazon.

It works pretty well with NC in my trident aegis case.

I was in need of a stand that cost me nothing (just temporary until I get my case next week) and I tore the back off one of those desktop calendars and it works GREAT! Just thought I'd share this!

Anyone tried one of those plate stands. I know my wife has a few laying around i might try to steal next week when i get home.

I am sure you can find them at the dollar store too. And they fold so you can pocket them.

Yes and it works great

I'm kinda meh about all those. Even the dock, with no HDMI or some other connectors I don't see the point to it.

I'm unhappy with the cases out now and if this case is slim enough and has magnet lock and close and some sort of stand mechanism, I'd pay 50ish bucks for it. The cases out now are pretty good for their ten dollar price tags but I want something nicer.

It's called business strategy. No HDMI out on the device or the dock means you have to by the Q. Stupid, yeah, but business wise, that's how the game works. Why put in HDMI when we can charge them $300 to stream everything?
I would love to purchase the Q, but I just spent $200 on this tablet. I bought it because I wanted something cheap yet good (which I got). The only way i'll get the Q is if someone else buys it for me (HA!) or I win it in a competition (....HAHAHAHA! Yeah, right, I NEVER win anything, lol).
But yeah, so there's your business reason for no HDMI.

POGO wouldn't support HDMI anyway, not enough pins... besides the whole point of not having HDMI is that you will be able to do it wirelessly.
Should start seeing this very soon using WiFi direct and the Miracast protocols. The hardware is already there to do it in the Nexus 7

First off, I know a lot of people don't really care for a keyboard set up for their tablet. I bought the Nexus 7 to replace my Netbook which could barely play Flash videos anymore.
I'm not sure if anyone else has had this problem, but thanks to the varying bluetooth stacks across manufacturers and supposedly buggy bluetooth implementation in JellyBean I had a lot of problems in getting bluetooth keyboards to work with the Nexus 7.
I first bought the HipStreet Keyboard case : http://www.memoryexpress.com/Products/MX40691 This is the same generic keyboard case that's sold with different brand names. Kind of cheap, and three of the keys didn't work. Costed close to $60. Returned it.
I then bought the Logitech Android 3.0+ keyboard. Great build quality, but kept dropping connection. And when it did manage to stay connected it would repeatedly record the same keypress even once I had let go of the key. Costed almost $90. Returned it.
I now have this set up :
>Gigabyte Bluetooth Mouse : $16
>GMYLE Super Slim USB 2.0 Mini Keyboard - $ 15 - http://tinyurl.com/8pjuuot
>Clingo Tablet Stand - $25 to $35 - http://tinyurl.com/d73urrq
>USB OTG Connector : $4
Total cost : $60-70. Cheaper than buying a brand new Logitech Keyboard with possible connection problems.
And when you're on the go, pick up the $9 Blurex Case and just carry the small keyboard and mouse with you. Still more portable than a laptop
Also : If anyone is wondering if the Windows and FX/Fn keys are mappable to Android commands, they are! Use this simple method to program your keyboard keys to perform functions like 'Home', 'Email and 'Music' - http://www.mobileread.com/forums/showthread.php?t=159538

Love your setup. Thanks for sharing. I'm debating getting a keyboard for mine...not sure if I really need it at this point in my life...but I'd like to have the option of using it.

No problem. I felt like posting this because I had to go through quite a bit of effort buying bluetooth keyboards, being disappointed and then having to go through the hassle of returning them. I took the gamble with trying out a physically connected keyboard and decided to post it since it worked out great.

That looks like a great setup. I was wondering which keyboard would be a good fit, and I've been eying that stand. You took alot of guesswork out of my next purchase. Thanks for posting.

Looking for a great Children's tablet recomendations???

Hi! So i have a nephew who is about 1yr 4 months old, and he loves playing with my phone and my N7 tablet. Of course he does ocassionally get very emotional and sometimes is very rough with his toys so he would sometime toss my phone or tablet.
I was thinking of getting him a nice tablet he could play with and interact and just learn how to work with technology at a young age. I have looked around a bit and i saw some like the NAVI and some other really cheap looking vtec ones.
Im looking for something that is pretty tough, will last at least a year. and preferably runs android ICS+ in a child friendly manner.
I was hoping you guys (those of you with children) could give me some great recommendations.
My main three citeria are: Price ( cheaper the better ) , Toughness, and OS.

Not the best tablet for a kid that young. Get the Nabi or LeapPad.

But seriously, a Nexus 7 or Note 8 in a Seidio or Otterbox case would be safe, plus you can keep them out of all settings via root.

Brought my 4 year old an Asus memo pad for Christmas so my missus can have her s4 back. It was cheap at £69 and I've found a nice thick soft rubber case for it. :thumbup:

At what age can I give children a tablet?

hard keyboard cover/case?

I got my wife a hard shell keyboard cover/case for her Galaxy Note 8 and it's quite a good keyboard (internal battery powers it, using bluetooth to the tablet) and acts as a stand too.
I am hoping that similar accessories for Z3TC will come along. If you see such a thing, please post a response to this discussion, thanks!
This image shows the case and the way it can be used.

Heres one I found on amazing , im debating ordering it as I havn't found anything else. The only thing holding me back is there are no pics of it with the z3. Return policy with amazon has always been easy for me and they pay for shipping to. If i get one and try it out ill be sure to post pix!

well the Z3TC its a new devise maybe in a few weeks or so we might see all kind of accessories for this device...

See here for Amazon fire hdx 8.9 keyboard thoughts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2948759

thanks for that; my wife once bought a keyboard with rubbery key caps for her Blackberry Playbook. It was pretty bad, so I am very skeptical of many cheap universal keyboards. That Amazon one looks quite decent!

Looking for the same thing..
Just got my Z3 Tablet and would love to have a case with keyboard...
having one with a additional battery that connects to the magnetic charging port would be even better.
But i guess we have to wait a bit for something like that.

Since i ordered my z3 a couple oft Minuten ago i am also looking for such a cover but havent found anything yet. Any news or recommendations??

There seem to be more folio style covers around, but they're really just a pleather case with a universal bluetooth keyboard stuck in, like this one:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/encase-sony-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-bluetooth-keyboard-case-p51134.htm

every now and then I do a search, not found a proper keyboard cover yet.
now I'm considering getting an Asus transformer pad TF303CL instead. Not sure if you can use it as a phone though.

found this:
http://www.gearzap.com/encase-sony-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-wireless-bluetooth-keyboard-case.html
the picture is a bit unclear, it looks like a flat non-tactile membrane keyboard which isn't so good
