Vangoddy Case - wrist support cases?

Hey guys,
I like to watch a bit of tv/video in bed on my Nexus 7, but have found it quite uncomfortable on the wrists after a while, especially if I am (as I like to do), laying on my side. So I have been looking for a case/cover which might provide a little relief to the wrist. To be honest I've not found much. Perhaps you guys can point me in the right direct for alternative solutions. The only thing I've so far found is a "Vangoddy Cases" available on Amazon here.
Anyway, for those of you who have had similar thoughts/have problems with arthritis etc I thought I'd flag this product up. Anyone find anything else please do let me know by replying to this post.
I know the youtube vid is not for the Nexus but you get the idea!
Cheers.

This is what I ordered for mine. My old 8.9 Galaxy Tab case was like this, except this one has a hand strap which I wish I had with my old case.

Yes I have the hard case (Harlin) , since I traveling on a crowded metro to and from work. There's a pouch for usb cases.
PS this "Logitech" bluetooth keyboard for Android 3+ works
all special keys work {calendar, mail, Google music app, volume}, but
the browser does not { need to investigate}.
I love my Nexus 7 - stock and all.

I just tried a Belkin case that used those corner straps and it covered up the power button.

Belkin Samsung Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 folio case

Just sold my Xoom so I have some extra cash and went over to best buy to find a case. This was steep at $40 but I wasn't into the kindle fire cases as they all use straps that end up blocking buttons/ports. Its not a perfect fit but it works for lack of something better.

Thanks for the pics. mine should be here shortly. Looks like it works well enough and better than the one I'm using now.

I figure when they start making decent cases for the Nexus 7, I'll cannibalize this. I'm thinking about ripping out the mount bracket thats attached to the folio part and fashioning some kind of car mount with it. Hmm..

Just arrived, wish the corners came up over the bezel just a hair further, but I turned it upside down over the bed and gave it a couple shakes, didn't go anywhere. If it had a magnet in it for a "smart" feature and the corners came up a bit more it would be excellent, as it is it's still a really nice option. Much slimmer than the navitech case I was using.

Yeah it looks like it might fall out because they don't quite get over the top of the corners, but it seems to work well.

Screen only cover?

Does anyone know if the magnets on the N7 would support an iPad smart cover style front?
I had a wooden Miniot smart cover for my iPad and loved it. And I love how the N7 feels in the hand so I don't want to add bulk.
I've not heard of any though...

Looks sweet! This would match perfectly with my Mica Plank watch
I sent an email request to see if they will even think of creating one for the N7. We'll see :fingers-crossed:

We won't ever see this I think. The iPad has 2 sets of magnets. One of the left to anchor the case, one on the right to turn the screen on/off. The N7 has one on the left for on/off only.

Such a shame. I hate how much bulk most cases add.
Better keep my eyes open for the thinnest case I can find.

I sent them an email yesterday and have yet to hear a response. I'll update if there is an answer. :fingers-crossed:

Got a response today and they said no. :crying:
Hunt goes on! LOL

Considering the back of the N7 can come off with a fingernail, we almost need a replacement back for the N7, with an attached screen flap. I think there's an antenna in the stock back though... so an aftermarket case may exclude that. Not sure if it's just a NFC antenna or what?

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
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004T0QLLO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i01

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.

Does anyone uses a docking stand for your phone?

Just received this as a gift:

Its a retro looking stand that you can lay your phone on top. It also doubles as an USB hub, but I haven't tried it out yet.
Any one using a similar docking stand/retro stand? Post some pictures.

My grandma has one of those.. But it doesn't have that big screen on the right side. :silly: haha
For reference it looks like this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00BF8NM6A/ref=redir_mdp_mobile
4 USB ports!
I don't have it, but I used a friends cheaper ebay one last summer with his iPhone and it felt like talking on a normal landline. If it had wireless connectivity, I'd get one.. Especially because talking with the Note II for over an hour can be taxing. (or I'm just weak)

It's an interesting idea but looks like a cheap implementation.

I agree, if this is wireless it would be a good accessoy to have. The wired handset feels a bit strange.
LOL, the 2nd reviewer says : funny item to try out
