Tripod phone holder - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Hi I am looking at getting a tripod holder for my phone to take pictures has anyone tried or has one of these. I have looked on amazon but none of the generic ones state that they would fit the note two.

Great news mate hope you get some good results.
Are you testing a gorilla pod style tripod?

why not just use something like this?

I got this when I got my monopod; very useful when going to muesums and so forth where tripods are not allowed. It will hold the GN2.
Otherwise, I would just get some kind of car dock you like, and just add the screw bracket; superglue can do wonders.

This product looks really good for our Note 2!

I have this. Don't get it. It fits, but it is such a tight fit that it is unpleasant to use. You have to either not use a case, or scrape out the rubber pads.

I just ordered one. I'll report back here once it comes in.
Combining with a Gorillapod for double duty as carmount and camera tripod.

The iStabilizer is fantastic.
Plenty of room for a larger phone when you pull it open, but it still grips the Note II firmly with soft rubber pads. I am not an expert, but it feels very well constructed.
In conjunction with my Gorillapod, it makes a perfect mobile car mount gripping the PT Cruiser's oh **** bar on the passenger dash.

My favorite cases

I have a Google official case that's coming in soon, but I'm pretty sure I'm not going to use that as my default case. It's pretty disappointing that there's no stand.
I've been driving myself crazy researching cases for the N7 and have narrowed my options down to four. One of my rules with purchasing cases/folios are that they CAN'T cover the bezel.
Here's what I'm looking at:
Poetic Hardbook- $9.95
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B008IEGS9W/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1342599330&sr=8-1
Poetic Tribook- $7.95
http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-TriBook-Automatically-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B008IEGSWO/ref=pd_ybh_12
CaseCrown Ace Flip Case- $20.21
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Google-Built-magnet-feature/dp/B008K9TRM0/ref=pd_ybh_8
iBlason Slim Folio- $16.95
http://www.amazon.com/i-Blason-Sleep-Google-Tablet-Orange/dp/B008H3PAP2
Belkin Bi- Fold Case- $37.55 ( Apparently this works really well w/ N7 )
http://www.amazon.com/Belkin-Bi-Fold-Stand-Samsung-Galaxy/dp/B007XDFO7Q/ref=sr_1_1?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1342647766&sr=1-1&keywords=belkin+bifold+folio
Google Nexus 7 Dock- $32.98
http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/product/google_nexus_7_dock
Unfortunately these aren't available right now, but they all look like REALLY good cases. I haven't ordered any of these yet, but I would like to have all of them ( that's not an option ) .
If any of you are going to order one of these, please post below because I'd like some input. Or if you find other cases/ folios that are worthy of a purchase, let me know and I'll update this post.

For all the pictures we'll be taking with the rearview camera, right?

i'm guessing that's a stock photo, because they are being manufactured right now and they just used it to show you an idea of how it will look....but that's just my guess....
I read the fire version of the casecrown ace flip is exactly the same, other than not being smart. I have one coming tomorrow, cost me $8.00. If it's good i might get the smart version, or i'll just put a magnet on it.

If Marware makes a similar case for the Nexus 7, I'm all in!!!

Kobo cover works

Picked this up today at my local Chapters store for $20. I just needed something for when travelling and don't have time to wait for an eBay or Amazon order to cross the border before my next trip.
It's not bad, fits in easily enough (thanks HUGE N7 bezel, you actually came in handy!). It also has a nice feel (different than most PU), and all the ports/buttons are usable while in the cover (though watch the top right strap, it can hit the power button).
Flap folds flat on the back if you want to use it in the case, and the N7 goes in and out of it quickly which is cool with me as this is just to protect it while in a bag, when actually using the N7 it'll come out of the case.
This is the NY Times model that comes in several different styles (I picked the most bland), and there are even nicer ones available if you want to drop more coin but at that point you're better off getting something actually made for the N7.

Nice pick up!
I saw something similar on Amazon from Marware for the Kindle. Also priced at $20.
See this case would be perfect for my wife if they didn't use elastic bands to hold it in, why is it so hard to find something like this that is just a little more industrial (has clips rather than bands)....ugh, the search continues, however this is pretty cheap and my wife might be willing to go with it, would be nice if it was a little smaller to fit the n7, just that much better, but beggars can't be choosers right?

Targus Truss Leather Case/Stand

I ordered a Treegloo case but wanted a case I could utilize for the next 2 weeks. Went to my local Office Depot and found this case for the Galaxy Tab on sale for 14.99+tax. Very snug fitting, only port covered is the headphone but with some wiggling you can utilize it. I love it so far and I wanted to share with you all looking for a case.

I just bought this same case.
Pros:
Fits nice and snug. Feels like carrying a nice leather bound hardback book. The strap is nice, holds the cover on well and comes off easy when you want it too. Horizontal stand is great for watching movies or hands free operation on a table.​
Cons:
It's a bit thick for me though, I really just want something that barely increases the size yet still can protect the screen. Without the cover I can pocket my nexus 7. But it's too thick with the cover.​
Funny that you mentioned this... I just got the same one for my Nexus. I have one for the iPad as well. It's a great case, really well made, and not cheap feeling or looking. I tried like 6 or 7 of them and found one that was nearly perfect. Not terribly hard to remove for gaming either, and does double duty with real drop protection should that happen (already tried it unfortunately, all good so far). This same case saved my ipad from a 6 foot fall on concrete floors... Good stuff. Get one before this hits SlickDeals, or you won't be able to find one!

Infinity Poetic slim case or similar fits perfect with some adjustments!!

I thought that I would share this discovery! Like many of you that previously purchased a slim case for your Transformer Prime/Infinity tablet and now finding yourself with a totally different tablet (Nexus 10). The case you bought is now incompatible. What are you to do? Cough up more cash for a new case to fit your N10? Sure but you don't have to. Here is what you can do with no tools other then your own hands to make your incompatible Poetic slim case or something similar to fit your new N10!
* I discovered that the the four corners that hold the tablet in place and the two inner place holders are actually bendable! You can force these holders to bend and flex to fit your N10 snuggly. That's it! Saved you the need to buy another case
(Don't be afraid to force it when your bending it to shape. It will take some pressure.)
See photos below...
(These photos were after bending them all to shape. Sorry didn't think to shoot the before pictures:/)

*If you want to install a sleep/ wake feature for when you close the lid. All you need is a magnet like the ones on your refrigerator, like I did with mine and just cut it to fit the magnet snug like what I did below. The magnet I used had a soft foamy material that worked out nicely.
I no longer need to buy a case now that the one I had for the Infinity fits just fine for my new N10! Hopefully this helps you!

Good for you bud. Looks awesome.
And good to know that many cases fit the Nexus 10.

Thanks. Yeah just a little adjustment here and there Normally the case would be too big but since I was able to bend it, it all worked out.

Leather Stand Case?

I'm looking to get a leather stand case for my father. Are ones with real or at least nice fake leather out there? Are there ones that built into the battery cover? All i found where cheap ones on amazon like this one http://www.amazon.com/Evecase-Leath...1355100089&sr=1-14&keywords=note+2+stand+case which im considering.

Love my 'Bear Motion Premium Folio Case'. Looks just like the one you linked. I'm sure he will be happy with either.

It's a small magnet which I have found so far after 2 weeks of use it doesn't interfere with spen functions, perhaps I don't spen enough but 4.5/5 from 70 reviews can't go wrong for the price. If you feel iffy on the magnet you can go into those Amazon reviews then keyword search box just for this product reviews: magnet
:good:
