Awesome Bike Mount

I love cycling, and hated that I couldn't combine the power of my Dell Streak with cycling. Until I found this bad boy. This thing works perfect, and is very secure.
I use Run Keeper to track my progress, and Ulysse Speedometer to track my speed, and the new Android Music app to listen to music. It makes for an awesome cycling experience. Who needs a wimpy bike computer, when you've got a Del Streak.
I'm a new user, so I can't post links, but if you go to amazon.co.uk and search for "ULTIMATEADDONS Bike, Bicycle, Motorbike Mount Kit and Holder for Dell Streak Mini 5 Smartphone" you can find it.

that looks awesome! I'd be extremely paranoid of it getting splashed or rained on though! :-\

The back cover covers most of the phone, and protects it. I also live in an area that doesn't rain very often, so I'm not too worried about that.

ultimate addons, = gpsforless, or my near neighbours.
I've heard of people breaking the mounts inside their car, so be careful..
I want a mount for mine for the inside of my velomobile, but haven't got around to it yet.
when I'm mtbing it lives in a rigid glasses case inisde my rucksack

sweet find, thanks dude!!

Seems to hold it nicely but very little protection for the Streak if your bike goes down.

Do u think I can set that up on my sportbike?

If my bike goes down and damages my phone, I've got bigger problems than a broken phone. Also, this is more secure than putting in the back pocket of my jersey, which I was doing prior.
The mount fits on most handle bars, and says it will fit on motorcycles, but I guess it depends on the bike.

Looks great for casual riding but I wouldn't chance it if your a serious rider ie off roading. My bike usually end up covered in mud and occassionally flying through the air so I'd rather have it in my backpack covered in a waterproof bag for extra protection .

Ordered mine yesterday. Putting it on my ZX6R.

I want one but the mount holes look to me like they would be easily jarred loose over a bump. Is there more to it than this 3 holes, which look like something simply snaps into them?

Looks cool..
I used to ride on bikes in my previous country..

Yes, it slides down and snaps in and is very secure. I've hit some bumps with it and nothing happens. I have been very impressed with how well this thing holds up. Highly recommend for cycling.

Good to know. Ordering one soon.
Errr, so amazon.uk is the only place to get this?

I did not set out to prove how secure the mount is, but after today, I am very confident in how securely it holds my phone. I had a moderate crash today, and after I gathered myself, and assessed my injuries, my first thought was, is my phone ok? Sure enough, not a scratch on it. In fact, it continued playing my music as if nothing happened.

Any chance of a photo of the actual bike mount hardware? Does it swivel, or is it perma-landscape?

I have this on my bike:

So is it downhill-proof?
Hurray, it's my 10-th post!

CAREfull all
Just to let you all know.. please be carefull with the mounts.
My bike-mount gave up last week! (while on a ride!)
I was doing like 60 kmph (40ish mph), and a very small undulation in the road.. and the mount (plasticy at the section where it broke off) just broke!
My Streaky was in a Silicone case - which I thank a lot (for taking good amount of impact on the corner- and some nasty skidding too!) saved the day for the phone.
Otherwise, It was a big FAIL for me!
The phone was saved!
I would suggest use some tape/glue ( just to make sure!)
(Fail section is just where the phone clamp part connects the Ball part. (that is plastic in all mounts, right? - that should be metal man!)
Thanks,
Sony.

[Half Review][Case] Ballistic SG Series for Nexus S 4G! 7/3/11

Alright guys so I have a half review for everyone. Due to me not being able to find my cable for my camera, I have pictures taken from my 4G so no pictures right now with it in the case. Will have some of those shortly! Enjoy.

Comparison to the Seidio Active

Brutus2TheMax said:
Just found that Ballistic makes a case for the 4G. Being in construction, I had one of these on my EVO 4G and LOVED it. Buying now. Great case and highly recommend it!
Since I can't do direct links I guess... Search "Ballistic Case" in Google and either click on Sprint or Samsung once in the site.

These look pretty cool! i might get one. Kinda looks like Fort Knox on your phone but stylish
Edit* post a review when you get it

Just got home from work and it's here! Post up a review later today. Check back!

Do you think this will fit the Nexus S for T-Mobile?

Most likely it will. It's labeled as the 4G so don't blame anything on me! It fits awesome! It adds bulk but no more than any Seidio case. I think the protection is better than Seidio. The fit is perfect and snug. I can't do a review tonight but I will try and find my camera to do one for this weekend or tom/Friday.

I would throw it around if it were the HC Series but the SG Series is less hardcore. I had the HC Series on my EVO and dropped from about 8 feet onto broken up concrete with no problem multiple times. This seems to offer plenty of protection though.

Alright guys sorry for the delay. I have the pictures taken I just can't find my cable to transfer the pictures... Be up soon hopefully.

Thanks this red looks real clean. How does it fit in the pockets? I just wondering cause the corners bulge

Fits the pocket pretty good for a heavy duty case. Nothing worse than any other silicone case. I shouldn't say silicone but it's fairly easy in and out. That's what she said?

Thanks for letting me know about this case. I purchased the black one and it DOES fit my Nexus S (T-Mobile). The BodyGuardz I have on the back of my Nexus S seems to help the fit but I did contact Ballistic CS and they told me it would fit.
I was looking for a replacement for Otterbox (this looked so clean and probably would have been the best case too bad they didn't make it) and I'm liking this and the Aegis.

My Ma has one of those (well, very similar to that for the Desire HD). I just don't like the pink ... afraid of catching "The Gay"
I'm just joking, pink just isn't my colour.

Does *MY* perfect case exist?

I've seen this only once for the iPad, I've looked for something similar for various Android tablets with no luck. Here I am with my N7 hoping that such a thing may exist...
I know everyone wants to go slimmer, but for my ideal situation I would really like to find something that is more of a true "padfolio" style case.
Opened up on the inside left a pocket that holds a standard "small" legal pad, in the spine a spot for a pen, on the right a holder for the N7. I saw one for the ipad that held a full sized yellow legal pad at one point in time, but I don't know who made it. Sometimes notes on the N7 is just too slow and would be faster to just jot something down.
So has anyone ran across such a case? My searching has been unsuccessful so far. I don't care about standing it up or anything like that. A magnetic clasp and smart cover would be nice. If I can't find what I'm looking for, I'll probably just get the Blurex ultra-slim now that it is prime eligible.

You want something that will most definitely add bulk to the device lol, the direct opposite of what most people want.
The closest thing so far is this
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Folio-PU-Le...?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item3cc921a483
It has a pocket where you can put a small notepad in it if needed. Other than that no dice in my quick searches.

Well a legal pad is about the same thickness as the n7 so it would basically double the thickness. Yeah hat case is about as close as it gets,but I don't like how it holds the device. Sigh. Ohh well. Maybe someone will see this and think it's a good idea.

Not sure how the N7 compares to an iPad, but Booqpads are the type of thing you're looking for?

Wish the TF201 would fit into these, but alas

Yup that's exactly what I want only for the nexus 7 with a standard small legal pad. I have some ideas though...

That would work. Put the back cardboard of the notepad in there leaving the pages exposed.

There was a similar thread where someone found a case very similar to how you want. I'll try and find it out.

http://www.zsxiaozhi.com/Nexus-Tablet_c_50.html

Sorry to bring this one up again.
I'm looking for exactly the same thing. A case like a booqpad for the iPad or something similar.
Are there, after nearly one year, any news? Does anyone have seen something that could fit or maybe something homemade?
Thanks!

S-Pen to keep phone standing :)

Hi there,
I would just wanted to share what I'm using to keep phone standing in landscape mode. It's standing to enough screen pressure either with pen or finger. And since 2-3 days I'm using it without problem. If you put it good, it will stand easily.
Just if you wish, a side info
(if you don't see the picture, please refresh the page)

Pic please.

I now know why I got an extra pen lol.

Thanks for sharing that.

what are you actually doing would be helpful!

Thanks for your replies.. I've fixed the picture URL, should be shown good now.

There is another way and using this you wont even need the flip cover and can be used with any case out there.
It is pretty stable and you can use touch screen or additional spen if you wish using this as well. Pretty useful if you use high desk like I do. Even stable on the lunch trays on trains and flights. Been watching movies on flight during recent trips like this. You just need to get hang of ideal position and then its 5 second job.
Here are the pics.

Brilliant! Somebody should really notify Samsung about this and maybe they'll redesign the slot in a future version of the Note.
GT-N7100 via Tapatalk 2

Interesting, looks great for a stationary desk. But will it stand the rattle and shake of a commercial airplane? Or train? Doesn't look like it. (I don't have a Note 2 yet to test)
Sometimes it's even hard to sip the coffee, let alone watch the movie on the little snack tray on cattle class.
Good tip still, tho.

Is actually stable for flight after initial ascend is over. We had minor turbulence on one of the flights and it held up well there. Thanks to my case it actually gets grip on the surface of the tray.
It just does not have enough angle to be stable during initial ascend on flights.

doesn't this waste battery if the phone constantly detect for the spen?

What lanyard strap will you use?

Firstly, let me congratulate Sony for allowing a lanyard to be attached! My Galaxy note doesn't have a lanyard hole and neither did my last Desire Z, Desire or HD2.
They are sooo useful for getting phones out of pockets by the strap, using the phone one handed or of course preventing the phone slipping out of your hand. And believe it or not, the Xperia Z having one was a major reason in me buying it!
Anyway, does anyone have plans on getting a particular strap?
On amazon, some reviews of cheap ones mentioned them breaking, so I'm thinking of using a wii controller strap which may match my white Z quite well.

I'm very pleased to see it too. It's a great little feature - i have no idea why it disappeared from the market. I'm going to use the one that Sony provided with PSP - maybe something better if you guys find something worth recommending

The Wii strap is a great idea for a wrist lanyard
If I want a neck lanyard for any reason, I'll probably just use the one my work ID badge hangs on.

R: What lanyard strap will you use?
I don't understand why they didn't put one in the box.. It's a very cheap optional.

Lanyard straps are a very Japanese thing to use. I love them and this is another small thing that make the XZ a great phone.

I second the Wii remote strap recommendation. Been using it with my Note 2.

Using these ones:
Genuine UltraFire® High Quality leather led torch wrist strap lanyard tether UK
&
EDC Paracord lanyard wrist strap Mil spec 550 7 strand genuine US Gov contract (ACU camo)
If links don't work google for litetek-uk store
Also these rings seem really good for a phone use:

the lanyard option definitive sold me over. will be perfect for this summer. I do alot of boating, and killed a couple of phones at sea, usually intoxicated :laugh:.
now I can fall in the sea with the phone in my pocket without killing it. also fitting a flotation device with the lanyard strap makes sure that it dont go to the bottom of the sea...
after the Xperia V i will never go back to a non-waterproof phone..
