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).

I got sick of waiting for my case from ebay...

Thats one way of doing it. And much Cheaper.
Like the NC isn't heavy enough for reading. Good job though.
Lifehacker had an atricle about using book binding materials to make an Ipad case. It would be neat to make one.
I've always wanted to hollow out a book for something - just thought it would be kinda fun. Looks like you did a good job. Only thing to be concerned for is dropping the "book" and having the NC come flying out.
Putting my Nook in a book would ruin part of the benefit of using a Nook for me: I don't have to hold something open to be able to read; I can just lay it down and be done with it. This is definitely cool, but for me, if I have to hold it open it's not worth it.

looks heavy, I saw a guy do the same, but remove all the pages and cut material to replace the book binding and make it look more smooth, I gotta try it too, thanks for all the ideas
looks good though, noone would look at it twice...lol
great way to hide it
Looks like it would be heavy, and a lot of work..
You missed an opportunity to do this with a Sarah Palin book.
This is going to be very useful in prison....but how will you get the NC into the pen in the first place?
I'm not much on "phone-bling" and this is the first time I have even thought about putting a skin on my phone, but while perusing e-bay, I stumbled across this skin and really liked it. It was only $7.95 shipped, so I figured why the hell not.
Once they arrived (Got one for my dad's LG Ally as well), I was pleased to find they are made with the 3M Controltac vinyl and not some el-cheapo stuff you find on other skins. The skins went on without much fuss and (to me) look very nice. Decalskins, of course have several different designs to choose from, but this is the one I liked the most. They also allow you to download a free wallpaper to match.
The skin works fine with my clear snap on case as well. All-in-all I'm pretty happy. Of course it goes without saying, this doesn't offer much in the way of protection. But it does make the phone less slick, and as I said above, it works with the clear cases you can find on Amazon and eBay. NOTE: It does hide the bottom touch key lights, so this probably isn't of use to those running BLN. But it doesn't affect operation at all.
I know it's not everybody's cup of tea, and that's fine, but I figured I'd throw a quick review up for those interested.

I bough one from geliskins and I though it will make it less slippery but it was the opposite. Is it any better?

Unfortunately, I don't have any experience with Gelaskins, but I can tell you, this skin is a lot less slippery than just the stock back. I swear that thing can be used as a non-stick baking sheet.
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.

Just wanted to let people know that I bought a neat case and wanted to let other people know about it. The Flipsteady Pro for the Nexus 7 is awesome, I did a full review of the case here and we are lucky enough to have NewPencil give one away too. There is also a discount code if you catch this after the giveaway.
Anyway, I hope I am not breaking any forum rules by linking off.

/Carlsberg voiceover - "Probably the ugliest case in the world"
Somebody posted about the iPad version of this case a few months ago, it's a shame they didn't make the N7 version look any better. It also fails at one of the most important things a case is meant to do - protect the device. The folding front cover is ingenious but even with that I can't see it generating many sales at $50 a pop.
I seen the company review this on you tube quite a while back... This to me is the ugliest cheap looking Unprotected Piece of leather and or what ever its made of..
why Put a case on the tablet at all if it provides absolutely no protection. Maybe they should call it fridge hanger/ stand. Its nor really a case is it .
I think they would have to pay me to Use one...
Sorry if this opinion is rude But i see no point in such a device. Thou some of the cases should come with a kickstand. It has that going for it..
ITS A Stand not really a case..
GLAD You like it yourself thou and nice review ..
No big deal, sorry you didn't like it.

Like a lot of nexus owners I bought one of those cheap slimline cases off ebay soon after getting my nexus. And like a lot of nexus owners was treated to the corners cracking after about 4 weeks. So after a chunk fell off mine I decided to do something. I had some foil tape laying around the house and decided to reattach the corner and foil coat my case to give it a Chrome look. I suck at crafty things though and didn't have any real tools (just my pocket knife) so it didn't turn out great - but I thought I would post some pics in case someone else wanted to try to save one of these cases from the trash heap.
Edit: will upload pics later - my internet is giving me fits right now.

I completely agree - as soon as my internet allows me to post the pics instead of timing out I will get them up .
Can you please make your signature a bit bigger I can't see it.
+1, with my eyesight I can barely see that
These freaking cases are crap. Mine broke in 5 days without even a drop.
