Cheap dock alternative

so like many of you fellow Hero owners, I have considered purchasing a dock. However, I feel like most of us refuse to shell out big bucks for what essentially a usb cable mounted in a piece of plastic.
while stumbling across the interwebs last night i found this:

someone posted a DIY dock for ipods that apparently works with heroes as well.
"what fun!" i thought. i quickly tried it out with some heavy paper and realized i needed some sort of card stock to make this actually work.. off to walmart. it was there that i found this little gem
http://store.microsoft.com/microsoft/Seagate-FreeAgent-Go-Dock/product/B65D8227
it's some sort of docking thing for external hard drives (because it's totally practical). anyway, i inspected it and realized it was exactly what i wanted..
a usb cable inside molded plastic. the best part? it was $3.00 on clearance.
the phone doesn't exactly fit at first but i simply had to cut some of the front plastic lip away and it works GREAT. exactly what i wanted..
for 3 dollars

Really? Only three dollars!? I'm doing this as soon as I get home from school..back to math class for now..
Great find! Looking forward to this!

Yeah They have this on clearance at my walmart too but even with my silicone case off the phone it barely sat down inside, so ti does need some fairly heavy dremel-ing or something to get it to work. I still may go buy one, make myself a little project.

just an added bonus, the leather case fits my western digital external hard drive

yeah i wish i had a dremel, it would have turned out a little better looking. i just used some wire cutters and snipped a little away

I bought the same dock at Best Buy like a monthe ago and just used a knife to trim it to fit the phone. It works perfectly!

After some research into it, I found this over at Android Forums!
http://androidforums.com/sprint-htc-hero/17311-lol-hero-stand.html
I think that is pretty creative!

Yeah, I think 90% of us who've been around at least a few months have come across that, but it's still a good LOL anyways!
I bought 2 of these docks but I dont think they came with the leather cases so you got a nice treat there, but I have a dremel and I think I will run it on the back part of the dock rather than the front, so that way when I shove my hero into it it actually fits in that tight space lol. I have the black gel case from best buy for $20 or whatever it was, and a generic screen protector on the screen (it scratches as I swipe my screen LOL!) That's Fellowes products for ya though, right?

can someone post a pic of what this looks like in action?

These sell for like $0.01 on ebay (seriously)
Haven't tried them personally but I've been told that they supposedly work pretty well. I personally wouldn't stick my phone above my stove though.
Here's the idea

I've only tried the ones for car dashboards on ebay
they are really bad....

Never tried these, but I use something called PuGoo http://www.udsproducts.com I love it & it works well!

If we are thinking of sticking the Note II to the wall, wouldnt VESA mounts be a better solution
:silly:

Please share your findings, because the cheapest one i could find was:
http://www.ebay.es/itm/Car-Anti-Sli...Accessories&hash=item20c0f4e9b1#ht_1292wt_906

Here it's less expensive than yours but much more than 0.01$ http://cgi.ebay.fr/Car-Anti-Slip-Pad-Mat-Camera-GPS-MP3-Phone-For-HTC-Nokia-Samsung-LG-iPhone-4-4S-/110931201286?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19d403cd06
I've ordered one this morning to try

I bought one from this seller (http://www.ebay.com/itm/Hot-Car-Gri...047?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item35c1c8637f) for $0.09 but they only ship to the US
The buy it now listings on ebay go for more than a dollar but the auction ones sell for very low ie. $0.09

I've been using this for more then a year in my car. Every month or so, i'll take it out and wash it with soup as it does attract dust and dirt. Works like it should. Got it for around US$1 only.

Sorry, not gonna let me phone touch anything called PuGoo...

I own this one, Grippy, and its pretty awesome. I can actually stick my phone to the wall and leave it. I actually have it on the lid of my laptop holding stuff there. Nothing ever moves from it unless I want it to.

okay, got mine from ebay in the mail today... for $0.09... not bad
my phone stuck to a door

Magic / Origami case for Nexus 10?

Does anyone know if there is a magic or an origami case for the Nexus 10?
I'm looking for something like http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MO4T4VQ
Thanks.

I've been looking around for something like that. Problem is the origami case is made by HTC. Knock-offs will be a little less......efficient in their design
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/ultra-thin-stand-case-for-google-nexus-10-black-p37179.htm

Thanks for the link. That case is close to what I'm looking for, but it wraps around the tablet instead of snapping in like my Poetic case.
I think this may end up being a lost cause

I'm wondering if I should try this http://www.trekstor.de/detail-accessories/product/smartbag-m.html

That looks really nice. If the N10 fits in it, i'm on their page! -googles N10 measurements-
edit: FITS! I'm buying one NOW! It's on eBay without needing to pay the mad DHL 15 Euro postage from their website. I'll post a review!

Please do let us know how it goes; I'd be interested in one of these as well but am less willing to take the risk of it fitting or not (regardless of measured numbers) before pulling the trigger!
edit: specifically given that the Nexus 10 is longer than the quoted maximum length (but otherwise should fit for width and depth)

Another case
External power pack
Headset
It shows 2 types of casings, external battery, wireless charger, and a headset.
Have fun!

Where's the headset I think it might be changed

Looks really good.

both device and cases look so sexy

I think i will be getting the battery case.
Phone will still be thinner then my Note 4 and wireless backcase, plus it protects the phone.
However the screen...
I need to mod the clearview case with the battery case haha

That second case look pretty cool. I'll probably get something like that

I like the pass through cases on the top, but I want to see what the back looks like.

All who buy a S6/Edge will need a Power Bank
Will the Samsung Power bank do a Fast Charge ?
I dont see it on any website yet
so i got few here which might be useful

Dude its a metaphor

can't find that clear cover anywhere. Any body see it around?

the second set of cases are sick looking.
not worth 35 dollars, but they make the phone look amazing.
I like it but if you drop your phone its gone.
It's all looks

Where can I find that battery pack?

lmao...S6 Edge = Hotness. hehe
I'm thinking the battery pack isn't in the US yet.

What a sexy casings. like to buy this for only these casings

The site is not in English. I'm looking for the case in the 2nd picture. Anyone found it?

i saw it at samsung .com/shop like 2 weeks ago for 69.99$, said it' coming soon. now they removed it !
maybe it' not ready yet? or cancelled?
or maybe they want you to buy the fake leather case instead .

Looks like it got pulled from the website for some reason. My guess is mfg issues causing too long of a set back to keep it as "coming soon"

Wish they have accessories on Launch of the Phones
they always delay it and loose sales
I want the New Power Bank, Cover & a extra ac adapter

When are these being released? In particular the powerpacks?
I can't can't find them anywhere?

My Orzly OnePlus 3 £25 Goodie Bag

Hi guys,
I have my shiny new phone at last! Feels like such a big upgrade from my old OnePlus One (well maybe bar the screen)
So here is what £24.45 brought me from Amazon (the price of an official OnePlus cover)
I have posted a few things about the FlexiCase already but you can ask me about anything...
My first impressions are that it is all presented very well giving it a premium feel for such a great price. I feel everything you get is a really awesome deal and just wanted to let you guys know.
Here is a pic of my package:

Orzly FlexiCase
Orzly Ring stand
Orzly 5 in 1 screen protector pack
Orzly Multifunctional Wallet case
I have my final exam on Monday so bear with me. I will update as much as I can as soon as I can, but please feel free to ask me any questions
Hope you are all enjoying or are as excited about your OP3 as I am...
I have got a case from OnePlus and Cruzerlite on its way so hopefully I can give feedback on those too.

Having put on the screen protectors, I would definitely recommend them over OP as a short term solution. Fits more of the screen!

Here are some great uses of the the ring! Use it to hold the OP3 if you have smaller hands, using it as a stand on tables and even wall mounting...

How do these ring stands secure to the phone again?

There is a reusable adhesive sticker on the back of the first ring

OK I have been looking at these. Too cheap to spend the 8 bux to just check it out, but, does the ring get in the way a lot when you don't want to use it. In other words, does it fold down nicely and stay or keep flapping around. I am thinking this may be a good thing for me to use because I use my phone with another BT device at the same time (getting into lockboxes) and have dropped phones more than once fumbling around.
