Very nice !
A couple of thoughts:
* buy a cheap silicon skin to protect the back and edges of the plastic body: this would require you to increase the size of your alloy brackets, but the rubbery grip would make the Tab much more secure in the stand cradle.
* get rid of this awful useless screen protector (Gorilla glass is tough enough, and the silicon skin would prevent the alloy brackets to touch the display anyway)
Keep up the good work, and let us know about your incremental improvements / design revisions !

Next step: adjustable design

A regular folding pictureframe holder for the desk does a fine job - I had one lying around the house

I got one of these at office max. Works both landscape and portrait.

And the picture frame easel mentioned above works well for travel.
But what you made has some sweet style.

I really like this stand. I have one of those leather cases with a built-in stand, but id like something like this as well. Or a more portable, possibly folding version of the mesh card holder. Looks great so far though!

here's mine,using a plastic SGT back cover, an old book end, and some good old Velcro tape! Took about $5 and 5 minutes to put together.

Man, I bet if i made one like this it would break when watching something and break the tab

Might want to think about doing a patent on your idea....looks great though

Velcro is pretty strong (read an article before where they wanted to use it in place of blots for building lightelweiht planes) ,you might even have trouble prying it off the stand! been using it everyday and the tab has never fallen off. if I feel like the Velcro is loosing grip, I can just replace it for $1.

Looking for: Cover for the white trim

Im looking for ideas on covering up the white trim.
I figured there may be a decal type of offering for the phone where i can put a sticker type thing to go over the black but haven't come across such a thing.
Or any ideas for successfully painting over it? =)
I'd really prefer a sticker though.
I don't want to use a case.
Sent from my DEFY using XDA app

if you really don't want a case and can't find a sticker, make your own sticker...

Any ideas on what type to use/where to get?
Sent from my DEFY using XDA app

No sorry it was just an idea, plus i live in Australia so i doubt any local shops going to be very helpful.

mine looks real nice with once of those gel cases on to be fair

not really sure what you mean by "gel case" could you link a picture? (not necessarily of your phone)

i m thinking about getting one of these silicon cases :

There are available in a wide range of colours, i just want a hi-viz one for traipsing about in the wilderness.

Yeah I have seen those around too, I was thinking about getting one myself.
There is one thing I thought odd, why is the battery door lock exposed?
You cant open the door unless the gel is taken off first anyway. Just a thought and not a show stopper for me.

That is a very good question.
It may be that they are designed using a pre-release non-functioning dummy phone so they try to leave all ' functions' accessable without knowing what that actually are.

This is what the gel case looks like, just search "defy gel" on ebay and it brings up lots of various colours

yeah mate I think they are referred to as that - rubbery plastic - i always refer to them as gel cases. Its not that crappy sticky silicon rubbish

Yeah we refer to the silicon ones as gel skins here. The tpu we call tpu lol. Does yours have cut outs for the buttons? Or are they covered? If they are covered how hard is it to press?
Sent from my DEFY using XDA app

I have the amzer tpu case as well. It covers the buttons on the side, but not the wake/sleep button. The volume buttons are harder to press then I would like, but not unmanagable, and I don't use them much.

DIY - DVD Case to nexus 7 / Tablet Stand

Hi guys thought you might like to make one of these... dead easy.
Use a piece of string to hold a case from opening flat, and use the little tabs which usually hold the game / dvd booklet inside the case as perfect little feet to hold your tablet.
Just bend the booklet tabs outwards and the Nexus 7 fits PERFECTLY on them. It's funny how perfect the tablet sits on the case. It's nearly identically DVD size, if the case was just a little larger it would double as a carry case AND stand

Good job on the MacGyver

Broke it!
I ended up making this case in much the same way, though my string was actually some spare ribbon I found on a cat toy. Worked perfectly, but I ended up breaking one of the little booklet holders on the DVD case which made my stand lopsided.
Shouldn't be a problem on the next one now that I know to push more slowly. Cool DIY, thanks!

I like this idea. I love homemade options.
Another cheap trick is to use one of the stands from a one-a-day tear off desk calendar.... you know the black plastic, with a kick stand in the back and two tabs on the front that hold up the paper, and are sold at those calendar kiosks around Christmas...... works great....once the pages are gone

This is great, thanks for sharing.

I had one. The quality is kind of so-so (and so is the mouse) but if you're not typing much this is a pretty good deal considering it's new in the box.
I'd say if you are going to use the keyboard a lot, get the Logitech.

I've got the Motorola keyboard/mouse combo, the mouse is ok and the keyboard is just fine. I reckon if anyone is typing so much that the keyboard becomes a problem then a tablet isn't the best thing to be using.

I like that design/style also and have the Logitech Ultraslim for my iPad
(http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-Ultr...420868&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+keyboard+slim)
and just picked up a Transformer Infinity with the dock.
However, I don't think a quality case that would fit the Nexus 7 could include a keyboard I'd find useful for lengthy periods of time due to the size of the tablet.

Has anyone received this yet?

I got some like the combo mentioned above but I found the keyboard way too small to be viable.

For those of you interested in seeing the controller work with the nexus 7 I have a video here. The intent of the video is to show it used for gaming but this show you that it works rather well.
http://youtu.be/8x3nbP4tx48
I also do an unboxing and overview video of the keyboard but this is with the xoom (originally what it was purchased for) a while ago.
http://youtu.be/jSVhaD9tvkc

Does anyone know what the key next to GMail is supposed to do? It's the 3 horizontal parallel lines key.
Thanks!
Edit: I think it is the menu key, but it doesn't work for me. Someone has a clue about this?

When the wireless charger for the S3 (and presumably the Note II) is going out ?

Looks like the white flip cover has something that looks for conductive charging, but the gray doesn't. I am unsure though from this video I saw.

It's the NFC antenna.
Instead of being on the battery, like the S3, it's on the battery cover.

Yah I noticed a little later on about it. There are so many videos out that some seem to have the antenna and some don't.
It doesn't seem to support wireless charging now. The S3 has the antenna in the battery and has 2 prongs for wireless charging. When I was looking at the Note 2 there is prongs for the antenna, but none for wireless charging unless those prongs do double duty which is highly unlikely.

Seems like more of an answer to Motorola's discontinued lapdock than an answer to the Padfone.
