So I applied to a bunch of jobs at this pharmaceutical company (I have a BS in biochemistry, worked in a pharmacy lab in college, and did one year of grad school in pharmacy, I hope they don't probe as to why I didn't finish.. another story), they emailed me back asking me to interview with a job recruiter.
Anyways, I have never really needed a suit before, or really any fancy clothes, I have a suit jacket that I wore to a few funerals but in my opinion it really doesn't look that good, not for a job interview.
Its hard for me to find a nice dress shirt since I apparently have a thick neck (even though my hands are the size of a teenage girls) and shorter arms, I have a nice white shirt but can't button the top button without being choked, I have another shirt that fits but it has more of a rough cotton t-shirt look, not that shinier fancy look.
I just bought a pair of nice black pants since my old ones didn't fit, and I have a pair of black Payless dress shoes that aren't amazing but always worn them to dress occasions. I also have some solid color ties to wear.
So I'm wondering if I can get away without wearing a full blown suit to this interview position?
I'm thinking I should get a well fitting white shirt, the shinier kind instead of my plain white one. My shoes are good enough, shiny, dressy, about to polish them...
I just really can't afford a full blown suit right now, I don't know how any unemployed college grad can afford a $300 suit then pay to get it tailored, I can barely buy dress pants. If I was more confident I'd be hired I would borrow the money but to say the least my background check is going to show a terrible credit record which might screw me.
I really don't even know what a suit consists of when you buy it, I mean if I have a dress shirt, tie, pants, shoes don't I just need a suit jacket? Do you need that vest? I assume when you get a full suit it comes with matching pants for the jacket... I never knew the difference between a suit jacket, blazer, sports coat.. they all look similar
A cheap fix for the neck problem and dress shirt. JC Penny's and most haberdasheries carry a button extender for the top button. Only a couple of bucks. It will allow you to button the top button for wearing a tie. Just keep the tie snug and no one will see that you have a little extra room in the collar.
Here is a pic of a button extender.

No to the vest. No one wears them. They will make fun of you.
A suit is preferred. A suit jacket with non matching pants is a little casual imho for a job interview for a professional position. Do you have any friends that you can borrow a suit from? Worst comes to worst, you can pick up a cheap suit that doesn't really look cheap from places like Men's Warehouse for a little over $100. Tailoring is not that much. If you go to a place like JC Penny's, I think the tailoring is included. But you can probably find something off the rack for a little over $100. Just make sure what you get, if you do, that it doesn't look cheap.
This should suffice.
Don't forget the cane and pocket watch.
You have the right idea.
Simply put: Dress Pants, Dress Shirt, A tie, Well polished shoes - no laces if you can, A nice belt. Everything nicely ironed and clean.
It doesn't have to be expensive - just has to look good. In Canada there's a place called Stockholme and Designer's Depot and everything is at an awesome price. You should just drop by a mall, and just shop around - tell them the look (and occasion) and price range. You will almost always find something.
But once you look nice and clean - you're good to go.
Good luck.

Honestly, it might be worthwhile for you to get a suit. One, the impression will be a positive, and two, if you're working an office or sales position that's likely close to how you'll have to dress anyway if you get the job.
I say cosplay and hope s/he is a nerd, lol jk. At the very least khakis with a button down shirt tucked in. Ideally though dress pants, dress shirt w/ tie & dress shoes. I recently had to buy just such an outfit for my cousins wedding and I noticed something: Kohls here in Bama has a very limited selection and only name brand expensive items, but the Kohls in the Chicago suburbs had a HUGE selection without the tags and expensive prices. I was able to get a whole outfit for $130, and it is very nice and good quality. So I guess the bigger the city the better off you will be.

Does anyone know of a good water-proof housing for the 6800? I am planning a fishing trip in a few weeks and it would be great to be able to safely bring it. It would also be a bonus if the phone were still usable while in the housing. Thanks!
A good quality ziplock bag should work pretty good, and if you turn the volume all the way up it should be usable from inside the bag. Or use a cheap bluetooth headset, so if it falls in the water you won't be out to much.

I emailed them to see who makes this and it is none other then Otterbox. Its the Otterbox 2600 series (universal PDA holder) so it works for a lot of them.
Do you know how big that thing would be if you put this in there? I mean are you deep sea diving with the thing? Seems a ziploc would do wonders to keep moisture out.
Geez-a-lou, that thing has been shown being driven over by a truck and surviving.

I can also confirm the easiest way to go is the ziplock bag. I usually use the double zipper double lined freezer bag. We throw my Titan, my Wife's Touch and my Bro-N-Law's iPhone in there. Never had a problem with it. Just takes a moment to unzip it to get to your phone if you need to make a call. Though if you are doing deep sea fishing it won't matter as you won't have cell service after a couple miles out. So save the money and use a zippy. Honest it is the smart way to go.
haha, I understand..but I figured if someone really wants to go a step further or I don't know..want to spend the money for something like it..there's the option right above us, just thought it might "help" in some cases
I did and I appreciate. I actually needed this too. So I bought it at Provantage yesterday. Only $25 and shipping I picked the slowest, it already shipped and is arriving today!
http://www.provantage.com/otter-box-2601-20~7OTTR00H.htm
If you have any questions furrycnorm just ask away (when I use it). I will definetly use it next week where I am going.
I would love to see that thing in a belt holster.
It worked great! Yeah its big but obviously not for normal daily use.
I just got the otter box 1900 of ebay for 9.99 + ~$20 shipping if anyone is interested. Going on my V-Strom for music, navagation and calls.

When I go motorcycling I toss it into a cheap ziplock bag. If you use a "snack sized" bag then there's not a lot of extra plastic hanging around but it's too small to be slid open in the bag so you have to take it out to use the hardware keyboard. Touchscreen keyboard works fine though. If you use a "sandwich sized" bag then even the hardware keyboard can be used without removing it from the bag. I have never tried to place a call through the bag but it would probably work fine. A sandwich sized ziplock combined with a cheap bluetooth headset would be ideal.
I think the ziplock bags have it!!!

I got a RAM AquaBox for mine when I'm on the motorcycle. I plumbed in a charging cord. Bluetooth music etc.
Bad idea. The phone gets EXTREMELY hot if the sun is shining. So hot, it shuts down the internal battery charger and weakened my battery.
So if you put it in a box/bag, etc., where the suns heat will get trapped, do NOT run a charge cable to it.
I've seen the overheating thing before in the car on a hot day but I live on the coast of the north Atlantic. Overheating on a motorcycle would be an amazing thing according to how cold my fingers can get, lol. I'd be more concerned about the cold!
Seriously tho, I'll keep my eye on it. Thanks for the heads up.

Features:
-substantial, industrial materials
-access to all controls (yes, even volume)
-integrated charging cord
Required tools:
-utility knife/olfa
-screwdriver
-drill
-some kind of superglue
Materials:
-4.5" heavy-duty steel hinge ($1.50 like-new at Urban Ore)
-4.5" x 3" x 1/4" piece of Lexan or Plexiglass ($2 or less, TAP Plastics)
-2 rubber feet (~1in deep, ~1/2"diameter) ($1.50, OSH)
-2 small wood screws with finishing washers, a few tacks (cost negligible)
-(optional) 90-degree MicroUSB cord (Prices vary - I have one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001AR4NC8/ref=cm_cr_rev_prod_title)
Loose DIY Guidelines (no guarantees, do your own measuring!)
1) Slice a 1/4" disk off the bottom of each rubber foot with the knife.
2) In one of the foot pieces, carve out a slot for the usb cable so the metal prong sits flush with the surface, secure with tacks and glue.
3) Drill holes in plexiglass and rubber disks slightly smaller than wood screws.
4) Line up and screw together as shown in picture, putting glue between the rubber pieces and the plexiglass. (Screw > Washer > Hinge > Rubber Disk > Plexiglass > Rubber foot) and you're done.
Nice, functional, industrial and easy to make

Yes, yes I am *that* lazy.. I'm not good with my hands in building things, nor finding parts like that. I rather just pay somebody to do it.
Now, it was a computer, and programing a program in C# or in Java, then I'd do it.. lol
Very impressive! I'm going to have to try this out.
DR Fankenstein would be proud!! I think it may need some knockers though.
Very nice. Now I have a project. Gonna try to find all the parts at home depot. Thanks

Let me know if you find the parts at home depot - the sources in the OP are too expensive if ordered through the mail, and I live in the middle of nowhere.
Especially let me know if they cut plexiglass!
Finally got around to making a couple of these for me and my wife. Each one cost about $15 (purchased all supplies except micro USB at local giant home store), with the plexiglass driving the price by far. If you have access to cheap plexiglass then you can make them for much cheaper. Or if you make a bunch of them the price goes down quickly (had to buy a large sheet of plexi).
The only modification that I made from the OP instructions is that the rubber foot without the USB cable mounted has a larger woodscrew in it and is not glued.
See attachment.
Keep in mind it helps to have a ROM that will rotate the screen, i.e. non-stock. Didn't realize this when I built my wife's, so hers mounts sideways. Oh well.
I am not trying to sell anything, but I have purchased another guys cradle via:
androidforums. com/incredible-accessories/ 132210-custom-made-incredible-dock-15 .html
Still cannot post links yet so sorry, but I added spaces to the link above to get it posted here.. Sorry..
Its actually very nice. My only gripe with it is that it is very very light... So light then when I pull my phone out, the whole cradle wants to lift up.. So, I milled four holes (one into each foot) and added magnets... Now it stays put on my metal shelf.
What you have done though is fantastic. Its nice and simple but still has a great look about it. Nice job!
i luvit...
Very simple and effective. I like it!
Thanks for sharing
I finally made one too
It took me some time to get all the parts (micro-usb cable was on backorder) but i think it came out pretty decent.
Awesome job man. Very creative.
Beautiful job! I'd buy one of those if you were selling.
Kudos, sweet idea and excellent execution. A rare combination for do-it-youselfers, I luvit too.
So I decided to make my own book cover...
I bought a hardcover book at goodwill and cut out all the pages. Bought some liner paper at a local fabric store, along with thin cardboard sheets. I cut the cardboard sheets to fit inside the book and covered the cardboard with the liner paper. Hot glued some elastic and long story short here you go:

Your's looks pretty cool. I like the exposed book. The book I used was really old so I had to cover it.
Woah! You're both very, very good! Time to go into business! I do wonder about the durability of elastic bands holding the NC corners though. I suppose if you get good quality ones and fix them well, they should last for quite a while.
Anyone else with diy book covers to inspire us?

Do yo have a step by step log showing how you did that? Looks great!
That first case is very nice. I came across that layout after getting a notebook at Walgreens that was about the size of the Nook. It protected the screen, but I wanted more than that. I wanted something I could carry without worrying about smooshing and which could be an easel.
I wound up investing WAY too much time getting to where I am, but I like a lot of what I've got.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=537935&d=1299698667
The case is based on a canvas hardbound sketchbook (I just feel wrong killing a book to house an e-reader) and goes from there to build in a wood frame, a strong magnetic closure, and high-friction surfaces (velvet and corduroy) for the inside front and outside back covers to keep it from skidding off when laying down. There's a little velcro "tail" that can be used to support it like an easel in landscape mode, and a seatbelt to help it resist falling over. I'd hate to add velcro to the interior to hold it in place, but it could be done. I'm still thinking about how to do something more like a slide-in channel to really hold the device between the upper and lower posts.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=537936&d=1299698667
Total materials cost is pretty high, probably around 20 - 25 bucks. And build time is more manageable now, but it was off the hook when I started, of course.
I'm very pleased with the overall design.
The main thing I like about all the actual book book-based designs is that they don't scream "I have a fancy electronic toy."
Has anybody tried gluing some velcro strips on the back of the nook and on the cover to hold it instead of the elastic bands?
That would totally work. In my case, I decided that I wanted this case not to have that.
The old Handsprings had a manufacturer supplied cover that was very elegant - it snapped into a hardshell with "fangs" top and bottom to protect teh face. To use, remove from the fangs and face out. I had no problem putting velcro onto the cover, then putting that into a nice Body Glove zipper case.

I was thinking of using some double sided acrylic foam tape from 3M. I have LOADS of that stuff at home. But i like the idea of being able to remove the Nook Color. The Velco would be the ideal way to go if you wanted to remove it, however to strong of a Velco and you'll end up bending the card board of the book cover....I think i might end up using the bands to hold it in place and some light duty velco to keep it from sliding around.

Build your own case for the nexus7, choose the colours etc.. amazing....
oh, and every case is built with a magnet in the lid for smart screen!
I went all black with Manhattan Blue line colour... looks very nexus7
Yeah, we have discussed this case in several other threads.
I went with the Red + white elastic and purple cloth interior
+1 I spoke with them since Sunday regards to the kinetic clip/stand and smart cover which will be included. A bit pricey but I think worth the pennies I earn to have a unique, one-of-a-kind case (well to me lol).

Man you're advertising this everywhere lol. I preordered mine a few days ago. Can't wait.
Black outside, natural wood, yellow cloth inside and kinetic latch!!
Can't wait. I asked how long it'll take she said ships july 30, probably take 2 days to get to Cali.
It does definitely looks nice. I think I will order one for my nexus 7. Black covering, ebony wood trim, gray lining with a white elastic band closure strap.
just ordered mine. black exterior, ebony wood, apocalypse blue inside and kinect latch
Ooo i don't know, it looks great but also looks like a lot of extra bulk
Mad Midnight case, Ebony Frame, Knight Gray Cloth, and Black elastic.
I thought about the kinetic latch but with all the other tablets I have had, the cases that stand up were never really used.
Man, I am really tempted. Bit pricey, but I love the moleskin style and these seem like top quality. Hmm ....

Yeah I figure this is my "warranty" seems pretty protective and it looks really nice. Their customer service seems really good too, received a email reply the next day and they are active on their G+ and Twitter.
Edit: From their G+ in response to a question about the speaker and mics
"
We're so glad someone asked this, because we put a lot of R&D into it. We will be posting updated photos of the Nexus 7 case design very soon.
The speaker aligns with the bottom ledge of the frame, which helps direct the sound toward the user through the bottom port. It actually sounds better in the frame than when it's sitting on its own.
Regarding the mics, this really has to do with how we engineer our frames from the beginning. The rubber corners and accents allow for airspace around the device itself where the mics are located. This airspace is exposed to the wood, which helps capture sound.
"
They answered my query regarding magnetic lid very fast as well, wanted to make sure it was include regardless of latch/elastic strap, it is.
I did a bit of research about them and the general feel was bad quality for their ipad cases, but that was a few years ago. People had issue with the corners being quite blocky and the ipads falling out, but looking at the images online and on their facebook it seems a lot has changed since then
I did some research before making my order and I couldn't find anything from 2012 it seems. Which I think is ok since most posts are usually complaints. Some things I found were about shipping delays which I think they have fixed. But I did find posts where they did try to fix issues and I think they have been redesigning to make sure any past issues have been addressed.
Those do look like excellent cases, but man, $50 for a case for a tablet that cost $250. I'll have to ponder this one a bit.
Saw some of the shipping mentions too, but as stated they were older. I will be having to exchange my device in the near future, so really considering it ... this is where I'd like to see some user feedback / photos.

I couldn't bring myself to spend this much on a case, especially when I'm holding out for the docks to be released. I would dislike taking it out of the case to put it on the dock, as well as the added thickness and weight.
I hope i don't break my nexus 7 before the case comes..

I'm seriously considering pulling the trigger on an epic black exterior, ebony wood, Old World Atlas interior print, and a Kinetic latch. Damned nice looking, even for the quoted 64.95.
i've found the same as everyone above. I would like to mention there are quite a few similar cases to this, not sure how many are making nexus 7 cases, but I did just email pen and quill. I also saw beaconcase.com and portenzo, but they are all about $50-$60....i'd go as high as $40 I think, but 50 and 60 is really getting up there, it would have to be a really good quality for me to pay 1/5 of the price of the tablet.....
Update from Portenzo:
We are so thankful to have customers who demand a well thought out, high quality product over instant gratification. We are looking into it. Stay tuned to our Facebook page for updates.
Thanks!

OFF TOPIC:
You talk about price, now I have started using vaja cases from my days of the PDA Sony Clie days and I still have this case this very day. Argentinian leather and top notch craftsmanship for protection. Its EXPENSIVE, but the leather and product I can def vouch for. They take about 3-4 weeks for custom orders which is awesome IMO and coming from Argentina, is pretty cool. Here's a pic below of an example of what they can do. I have posted a question on their G+ account about making cases for us. (well more begging lol).
This is an example of one of their more expensive cases for the ipad2. I personally don't like the texture and I am not a pink/fusia person, but some do (reminds me of the Soul headphone pads in the Ludicrous lines lol)

Lol, my quote was $75 for a case. Wow ... glad I had no intention of buying one.
Hey guys my coworker showed me this case today and wanted to share it with you all!
It's the DODOcase HARDcover for the Nexus 7. It's almost like the treegloo cases but I like this one a little bit better. It looks nice and I like the fact that there isn't an entire wooden frame surrounding the device but instead it's held up by an adhesive. Very nice and slim as well.
It also has smart cover functionality.

Very nice, but it might be too late for me to cancel treegloo
Hmmm...$35 for the shell of a book and an adhesive? That seems really steep for something that wouldn't have much protection.
I got a treegloo for the same price and it comes with the wood frame, not to mention there were a crazy number of colors. I wonder if it's worth emailing them to see if they could make something like this...

Lol!! My thoughts exactly. It doesn't have enough coverage around the tablet and if that's the highest it can go as a landscape stand, try again..
Ehhh, there is no protection for the N7 with this case. The idea of using a reusable adhesive doesn't appeal to me at all, I really don't want to have to wipe my case down with water so that it can keep getting sticky. Nor do I like the lack of customzation. I do however, really like the matching elastic band and liner.
This and a tpu case together would work but sadly I see them becoming extinct fairly soon.
Anyone tried ordering the Potenzo version of this case for the Nexus 7 yet? It has the full features as on the iPad versions.
http://shop.portenzo.com/ProductDetails.asp?ProductCode=bookcase-for-nexus
Can't justify this kinda of money for a case that offers little to no protection. Just because you can customize it doesn't make it worth $40-$50.

They have the patent on rectangle, they could always use it.
Now they just need to get the patents on, gyroscope, accelerometer, barometer, magnetic field, orientation, linear acceleration, ambient light, gravity and any of the other sensors in the Nexus 7...
As I see it, I understand why 55% of the manufacturers have agreed to pay Microsoft some sort of "licensing" fee..
It's like a block of merchants in the mall, that are being threatened by one of the larger anchor stores (apple) because they sell similar products and take potential customers away from them. Then comes in the local gang (microsoft) offering "protection" in exchange for extortion monies..
Allowing them in a sense to be protected by a larger portfolio of patents and deeper unified pockets.

Asus has been doing this for a while. My Asus Transformer has a magnet under the screen that turns it off and on. The Samsung Galaxy 10.1" had the same thing. Samsung even had a straight Smart Cover rip off and everything... and they DID get sued (the 3rd party company).
Laptops have been doing this for a long time now... and even Blackberry phones. Apple has nothing on this "tech" except maybe for the design (held on by magnets).
Probably one of the better looking cases that I've seen so far. Really tempted on purchased it. Just a little weary about the adhesive that is being used.
Hmm..just thought about this. Since there isn't a wood housing like the treeglo case. It can be repurposed for future 7" tablets.

They were not the first ones to offer this functionality
BlackBerry had this with their holsters for years before iPhones or iPads every walked the face of the planet
Let's hope that reason and sensibility prevails
Check out Portenzo. Better than DODO and treegloo from what I read so far. Started a thread about it already.

Does anyone have this case? I really like the design, I am just a bit concerned with the adhesive grip. Although I guess the elastic strap would help keep it in place while closed
I went ahead and ordered this case, I will post a little review once it comes in. If anyone is interested, they can use this code for 10% off: C120726-Q3XNPH7
Caved in and purchased one too. Hopefully it comes soon.
Also 10% discount code: C120726-DGNH4LK
Was going to purchase a dodo but decided I'm going with portenzo.

There are three strips of a tape of sorts inside. It holds really well, I can tug on the tablet, shake the case, no problem.
