My DIY Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus Combo Stand

This is what you get on a boring Friday night.
Parts:
DVD case
White cardboard
Whiteout
Ducktape
Glue stick
I took a spare DVD case I had lying around (bonus points cause it's white and matches my desk). Then I fashioned it into a tablet stand. You do this by taking off the plastic and bending the tabs outwards. Then you secure the case in some way so that it doesn't slide. I have no string so I ducktaped the case open.
Then I took some cardboard and bent it into the proper shape to fit the Galaxy Nexus. I took an even smaller piece of cardboard and used that to make sure the Galaxy Nexus wouldn't slide out of place. I secured that using the glue stick.
Then I painted everything in whiteout to make it nice and sharp.
Obviously this could be much cleaner looking if I had the right parts but this is what I could make due with in my new apartment which has basically nothing in it.
Enjoy

Tiny keyboard (external)

I just bought a Rii Handheld keyboard (RII-518), and I am very happy with it.
It looks like this:

only smaller than you think, and it was only 35 dollars from this site: http://dx.com/p/mini-handheld-rechargeable-bluetooth-wireless-keyboard-93118
It pairs beautifully, and the only think I don't like about it is that it doesn't work right away when you turn it on. You sort of have to push a few buttons, and then change apps - but then it works fine. I usually just turn it on when I start using it, and then don't turn it off until I put the tablet away for the night.
Anyway, try it if you think it's for you.

Tempted to buy this. One of those items I would really like to test drive before I commit though. I have would be using it for note taking in class probably. Thoughts?

Looks nice n compact..
I've got one of the diNovo mini's.

Works well, and you have mouse control as well with the trackpad on the right.

I got this one and really like it

Both of those are rechargeable? And have you tried to do any extensive note taking?

Seems way over priced, have seen similar ones for 10$ shipped on ebay, Chinese ones

Build quality on the cheap Chinese ones can be very poor though, waste of $10 if you get it and the keys don't work properly.

Well, I won't say the Rii's quality is comparable to an old IBM Model M keyboard, but it certainly works! Well worth the money IMO.

Keyboard Case

It has been said in these forums that the Galaxy Tab 2 cases fit the Nexus 10.
If that is so, what do you think the chances of this fitting are?

I think it looks good and if it works with the Nexus

Logitech makes something very similar for the g tab 10.1,and my buddy has it. I I tried to make it fit, and nothing doing. One dimension fit fine, but not the other.
Sure going to get me one of those when it comes out for the n10 though. they make lap typing possible.
Sent from my Nexus 10 using Tapatalk 2

Be careful though as i ordered another one that clips on at the corners which switches the N10 off!! Obviously the Tab 2 has its power button on the side!

Although it's not aluminium, which apart from Android not fully liking UK keyboard layouts, works fine as I'm using it to type this

It looks really good. I asked the seller about compatibility with the N10 or at least to try to find out.
I found this video with the galaxy tab and I think it's the same case.

This just showed up on Amazon.ca

Looks too bulky to me but others might like it.

If you're going to stick your Nexus 10 in that you might as well have bought a Transformer.

Not really, no.
But thanks for that scintillating insight.

Perfect Universal car mount.

Just though I would post a really nice mount that works well with the Note II from any carrier as well as nearly any other phone, Happen to come across this while looking for Christmas present ideas and picked one up for myself and love it so far.
It uses a nice small metal plate that you can put in the back of a case or even a smaller round one that fits perfectly between the back cover and the battery/housing then holds the phone securely without any bulky snap in annoying part. Here's an URL (since I can't post links just yet) to the page for it as well if you want one which I really recommend since its only like $30 and way better than those cheap ones you can find at Walmart or anything you would find for more.

Let me know what you guys think. Hope this helps some searching for some of you!

Here's some photos of it for a quick glance.

THis has been posted before. The problem with this is that its magnetic and will at least while in use cause your spen and compass to not work. Not sure about long term effects , but samsung warns against magnets.

Iphone SUX

I havent see it effect anything while using the gps at this point. Still trlls me where im going and where im at but ill up date if something changes.
And k.0.0.l iphones do sux but why they still post them in photos of stuff I could not say why.

I posted this earlier in another thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1973792
It really is the best universal mount. It does NOT affect the compass because our device uses GPS. It only affects the s-pen if the magnet is close enough to the tip (probably not close enough if using a case).

Spen reveals dead spot on screen

I've attached a photo. Simply opened SNote and scribbled to show the area not responding to the Spen. At first I thought possibly a design flaw in my Tempered Glass Screen protector however I ripped it off just now to confirm it is not. Because of a unrelated issue with my wifi Verizon has replaced my phone once within the 14 day window.
I had this problem on my first Note 5 but didn't think twice about it because I was getting a replacement however now I'm seeing the same issue on my second one. Is anyone else experience the same issue?

Holy Cow.. Looks like I should have done a little more Google.. Looks like if you have a case with a magnet.. In which this case I do : http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B011WD7WMM?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 it can wreak havoc with the Spen. Well now I have another case that is useless I guess.

magnets around electronics are never good

I have the platinum (best buy) case with a kickstand and it doesn't do this to me.

The company refunded me and said they were aware of the issue and have made a revised version. However the revised version still uses a magnet of which now I have no interest in my phone near magnets now.

Yes I'm having the same experience just realized it the other day. AT&T did it diagnostic they reveal that was a hardware problem

Just figured this out
