Perfect, super small messenger bag for Galaxy Tab

Hello all, i seem to have found a pretty sweet little bag that fits the Galaxy Tab and several accessories quite nicely and also is rather small.
Its made by SwissGear and called the SwissGear Travel Shoulder Bag.
( at target for onlu $11.99 !!, http://www.target.com/Swiss-Gear-Over-Shoulder-Travel/dp/B002JD0S1M )
Its marketed as a camera bag but works great w/the Tab. I have a review and pics up on my blog at:
http://blogs.tech-recipes.com/seamo...g-swissgear-travel-shoulder-bag-quick-review/
Looks good but lacks a padded pocket. I can see myself using this when the weather gets nicer on day excursions outside, etc.

Nice find, thanks for posting it. I was looking for something similar.

Based on your review I thought I'd pass by my local Target and check it out. It is a very nice bag and see what you're talking about. My Target had it on clearance for $19.99. I was about to fight to get the internet price when I came across the Swiss Army carry on bag (named differently on their website.) It's just slightly larger but just enough.
Check it out - http://goo.gl/AyZbD
Either one would work for most people. Since I carry multiple chargers and IT stuff, this worked a little better.

That keyboard looks like the BEEWI BBK200 ?
What is it like ?

I've been looking at messenger bags for a while now. I got a larger chrome bag awhile back for travel, and I am very pleased with it. I have been thinking I might get another for more casual use, smaller and simpler. I am definitely going to stop by target and take a look at this swiss tech bag simply because of price.
Here are my other, more pricey candidates:

i believe that is the one, i got it from meritline i believe. its ok, i've realized that thumb keyboards are only as good as the button layouts; its not really optimized for two finger thumb typing but does the trick when i need a keyboard for the tab or phone or ps3.

thats a nice find too! i'm a fan of the swissgear stuff, i have their luggage set too; so far its made it across coast to coast twice this year.

Question about your awsome messenger bag. Do you think it would hold the samsung galaxy keyboard dock?

I find these adidas city/messenger bags are an almost exact fit for the Tab..
I have 4 different styles and the tab just fits like a glove!

hmm, i don't think it will. the keyboard may be too big fit. is it the same size as the Tab (bt keyboard dock)?

i think i may have to pick one of these up. looks like my macbook air may fit too, the perfect business travel bag for me! (need laptop, phones, tablet and charger space)
def worth the price, seems to be padded too.

How did you manage to connect the BeeWii BBK200 to your android? It's not recognized on the HTC Wildfire/Froyo... missing a driver probably (Teksoft bluetooth keyboard driver doesn't work).
Thx

I like this guy. Deadmau5 pic and demanding genuine leather! I'm hoping for a case from these guys: http://www.vajacases.com/ - Got one for my PlayBook last year and it's awesome.
Shame they got shipped and delivered to the UK first yet there are very few accessories released here yet. Will be a while until we have a genuine leather case with the 'smart' magnetic bit.

that case has been on sale for years. it's so ugly. Giant leather bondage strap holding down your nexus 7? ugly.

I picked up a leather smart case similar to this one at Big Lots for $8.00. High quality material ! They have lots of 7" case options there for a budget price......scrarch resistant screen protectors , stylus pens , bluetooth speakers etc....
BigLots. com serach the left hand side by ELECTRONICS to see their tablet stuff.

I say patience is a virtue. We all know the tablet for what it is. You either like it or you don't. Most of us have already pre--ordered and are waiting for them to arrive right now.
As far as the caes go, I'd rather feel what they're like in my hand. Via pictures of cases online, 10 look great for ipad and other devices, however only 1-2 actually feel and function as nice as they seem to be described and pictured online.(not cheap feeling, or feeling like they'l literally fall apart, lacking features cleverly not pictured, etc.

For me none of the cover/cases on Amazon (I was at the local Best Buy to take a look at 7" stuff) are aesthetically pleasing. I ordered a "padded pouch" off Etsy.com and I'm gonna get a sturdy "case" when one becomes available.

(Help) Any tough/protective case?

Hi I'm new here and I'm sorry if im bothering any of you with this request, but i just bought my phone today and I really can't find any good tough case like... lets say Otterbox or Ballistic. I read the thread about the Ultra Thin Hard Case, but it just doesn't look like it can handle any drop.
I found one called Cell-Nerds NerdShield Armor with Built-in Kickstand for LG Optimus 4X HD P880 on Amazon. what do you think abot it?
Well, that's all, I'll wait for your answers and thanks.

im using a black empire tough case with kick stand...hmmm almost identical with that cell nerd you're referring to ..any ways since its almost the same,its quite tough..i dropped my phone in a mall escalator for about 5 steps..and its still fine..my friend in our military used the same case and the phone is still alive as of now

Invent car mount

I recently bought a car mount for my note 2 which fits in the air vents of my car, from 'invent'. Despite what they said on the web store, it does not fit my note 2, so I get my money back, no worry about that. But does anybody know of an alternative that will fit the note 2? I specifically want an air vent solution, so others will not do.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

Isn't the phone a bit heavy for venting? Any vent mounts I've ever used cause the vent to roll down and put the phone at an awkward and unusable angle.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

No need to re-invent the wheel I have been using for years Arkon Mega Grip mount and been using it for the last year with my Note 2 (also Slim Grip Ultra works great, check it out in my review, in my signature link below).. It also comes with a very sturdy air vent mount. Though I don't use it in air vent, sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for: http://arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-windshield-vent-mount.html
What's totally cool with it, it has universal ball-joint mount so you can use it with other mounts as well.

IOTTIE! it's 10, better than any other mount and it will hold many other phones too. It's universal but sold as for the note II and s4. It'll fit most big phones.
You can stick it anywhere and it won't fall, you can also rotate it completely in any direction you want.
It's not vent mounted, but why do you want that? Theres a million better places for it.

Have you tried solution from Brodit?
On their site you can just select type of your phone and your car and the configurator will find all versions they have for your combination.

iOttie is good, but doesn't work well at all with Zerolemon battery. Trust me, I tested and reviewed them all (check out my signature link). Slim Grip Ultra is the only universal that fits everything up to Note 2/3 and 7"/8" tablets and it will hold a heavier phone even with ZL battery.

I use this for my note 2 with a sedio case on it

No doubt. I guess it's only fair though. They always pay way more than us bloody Yanks from across the pond- right, mate?
The Lautner covers are really nice.
At least we can get the Poetic case from Amazon for 5 bucks. It's not too shabby.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

Ahh OK. Hadn't really noticed that one for some reason. I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??

The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.
Sent from behind the wheel of my car at 95 mph.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.

Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).

they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

Aaaand then there was one. Thanks for spotting that @adam_ky ! Sure beats the $32 "clearance" one I found at Wal-Mart. Lol
I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!
Nice.

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.

Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
