Long arm for bed ? - Galaxy Note II Accessories

Hi,
did anyone already try this stuff for standing the phone on the bed ?
http://www.tinydeal.com/universal-l...hone-holder-stand-color-assorted-p-77920.html
I wanted to know the note 2 is not too heavy to stay on the arm ?
Where can i buy it the cheapest possible?

No one?

I can only tell you that clip is great because I used it from one of the car mounts on ebay. But can't comment on how rigid/flexible that neck-stand going to be. Keep in mind, N2 is not that heavy, but once you add a case (like Defender) and/or something like ZL battery or another extended battery, it will add up.

I saw some of these on eBay. Can't see the link since it's blocked at work. But it's a flex tube. I might make something myself and test it out.
I dropped my Note II with Sweet Armor case on my face last night. Not cool.

I think i will order one as soon as possible but with a ZL battery i doubt it will work.

Just be glad it wasn't with a ZeroLemon battery. That would have left a crater on your face

Must be hard, using a touchscreen device with fingers that huge. Good thing it comes with the S-pen.
Did find these alternatives, which should easily handle the Note 2, but it is quite pricey

Here is a mod that you can do with a lamp and that Exogear Exomount knockoff that Vectron reviewed http://www.terrybleblog.com/2013/03/diy-ikea-mobile-phone-bed-mount.html

As I was laying in bed last night watching a movie on the little screen (so not to disturb the mrs) I was thinking I need one of these!

I have two of these on my bunk bed/desk, the arms are not as long as they have in the ebay picture (photoshopped obviously), and not very strong, if you have zero lemon on your note 2, you'll have to do a loop, otherwise it will bend a bit. I have usb cable zip tied to them.
You have to curl them at least half a circle, or they wont' stay up, and you'll have to put some rubber under the clip.
Watching movie and video is fine if you sleeping in your bed, but you want be able to surf the internet play game because your arm will get tired after 2 or 3 mins and also because it's so wobbly.

Thanks! Its just fine. Look good.
The size is about 70cm but like you said we have to do a loop and it's reduce the size.
But perfect for movie!
Where did you ordered these long arms?
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app

I got them on ebay for $17 free postage, from HK.

I'm using two of them for the note 2 and its just so Damn heavy it bows under it's weight

I finally found one on ebay.com for 19 $ with shippin include. It stand really good in special position. On other the note 2 fall down with the arm

Please look at the picture, i don't really do a loop for more stability. Just turn back the support like i did

My DIY in 2 minute tablet stand for the lazies

Hi guys,
I wanted to buy a tablet stand for a while, but they're either bad or way too expensive, which means that if I want crap, I better do it myself.
The UPS carton from the Nexus 7 was hanging out next to my desk for weeks so I decided to just take it, cut a piece, and make it look like a stand. I did it pretty randomly and it turns out not bad at all. This definitely solves my stand issue. I'll probably improve it a little more by adding some duct tape so it can last a bit more that 2 weeks.
This will literally take 2 minute of your time if you wanna give it a try. I love it so far.
Pictures: http://imgur.com/a/jr464
Not bad if you don't have spare DVD cases laying around (that stand is a little more stable and longer-lasting), but edit your pictures and downsize them, they're too big for the forum!
-Ara
Woops, replaced it by an imgur album, thanks
I made one from a dvd case. Thing works awesome. It holds my N7 while in a case too. I often use it at night to charge.
I used a spare Xbox 360 case so mine is neon green.

Cool...I saw that stand at Walgreens and thought it was pretty cool. But they want over $10 for it, and I've already got a $30 stand ( bought for my old ex-Prime ) and another simple silicone stand. But the one you have does tempt me every time I see it
What about this?
I got this for my nexus 7:

For $4.89 (plus free shipping), it's a good deal. And from a top seller to boot.

Gawd I never thought i'd be shilling for gamestop but for $5 you really can't go wrong.
Sorry for the (gnex) crappy pic but you get the idea, the slots that the tablet fit into are super soft rubber (coated) and it folds completely flat.
Just go around your house and look for an unused picture frame prop.
I just thought I'd share mine.
I still need to trim off the glue, cut off the excess cardboard and paint it.
That's a cool idea. I make one for my kids.

Inexpensive charging dock from Smartphonepedia

Just received this dock and have been using it for a couple of days.
Only $10 -- a cheap alternative so some of the 40-50$ options.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Data-Sy...531363?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1de5aea3
It's small, feels like a decent quality piece. It's glossy black with rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. It keeps the Note 2 supported nicely when it's dropped in. It's got a floppy rubbery insert that you can take out if you have a case.
One con is that a few times when I've yanked my phone out, the rubber piece has either partially or completely come out. My advice would be to decide on a case of not and, if you leave the rubber insert in, put a drop of hot glue or something to keep the insert in place.
See pics below. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, it works with a slim case for me without even taking the rubber insert out. When you take the rubber insert out, there's a good 0.5-0.75cm around it, particularly the edges. A case with a big beefy back probably would not fit.

It doesn't come with a cable -- you use your phone's provided cable or anything else, so whatever those deliver. I just have a usb-to-microusb running from my computer to it and it works fine.

Sheesh guys. Think a little more outside your own world.
I have this dock connected to my computer at work. I walk in from a meeting, drop the phone in the charger (instead of setting it down, picking up the cable, jamming it in, etc) and it's immediately mounted as a drive on my computer and is charging anytime I'm at my desk. Need to run to a meeting? You just pick it up...no fussing with cables.
Nope, no spare battery. Surprise, most people don't need one. I spend half my day working at my desk, meaning my phone is charging half the day. In fact, I don't even feel like I ever "charge". It's just sitting in its stand. I never need to plug it in at home.
Nope, no USB or HDMI. Surprise, 99% of the people that use this phone care about that, so why pay for a $100 for a dock with it (that's the wrong color, BTW).
20 bucks? Wow, they saw you coming a mile off.
It's the same dock as this, which is in black or white.

While their prices aren't always the best, I do like Smartphonepedia's video reviews on youtube (the full shows, not the 30 second blips) and the guys there are very pro-android and know their devices. I would throw business at them vs a random guy on ebay any day.

You can just plug the phone into the dock without having to pick up the charge cable and plug it into the phone. Same for removing it from the dock. Since we have to charge the phone everyday, I would say the dock has a value.

Galaxy Tab 2 Cases Fit

Hey,
Just brought a Belkin case from PCWorld designed for the Galaxy Tab 2 10" and its a perfect fit. Holding the Nexus 10 up to the Tab 2 it's easy to see why. They are pretty much identical. Has the 3 fold design too. Now if I could just fit a small magnet under the material it would switch off when closed
Pictures to follow!
Whats the product name of the case you bought im heading to pc world later
Its called the Belkin Tri-Fold Folio with stand.
Luckily the shape of the corner grips means that although it covers part of the power button it doesn't actually touch it.
Thanks for the pics!

I just ordered a zoogue galaxy tab case. Says it fits both tab 10.1s.
I have a zoogue case for my Xoom and I love it.
It is a bit pricey ($55 shipped) and I would call it more of a couch / indoor case.
I will post pics when I get it. The race is on both N10 and case where ordered tonight!
Only problem with the tab cases is they cover a good portion of the side speakers I hate not having a case on this thing...

I just really like the adjustability of the case. I can go all the way forward or all the way back and any place in between.. Not just 3 notches like many cases similar to this.
I'm very excited and can't wait or sleep for that matter.. Ha
awesome! looks like a nice case. Will stop by a best buy tomorrow to try her out.

Invent car mount

I recently bought a car mount for my note 2 which fits in the air vents of my car, from 'invent'. Despite what they said on the web store, it does not fit my note 2, so I get my money back, no worry about that. But does anybody know of an alternative that will fit the note 2? I specifically want an air vent solution, so others will not do.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Isn't the phone a bit heavy for venting? Any vent mounts I've ever used cause the vent to roll down and put the phone at an awkward and unusable angle.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
No need to re-invent the wheel I have been using for years Arkon Mega Grip mount and been using it for the last year with my Note 2 (also Slim Grip Ultra works great, check it out in my review, in my signature link below).. It also comes with a very sturdy air vent mount. Though I don't use it in air vent, sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for: http://arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-windshield-vent-mount.html
What's totally cool with it, it has universal ball-joint mount so you can use it with other mounts as well.
IOTTIE! it's 10, better than any other mount and it will hold many other phones too. It's universal but sold as for the note II and s4. It'll fit most big phones.
You can stick it anywhere and it won't fall, you can also rotate it completely in any direction you want.
It's not vent mounted, but why do you want that? Theres a million better places for it.

iOttie is good, but doesn't work well at all with Zerolemon battery. Trust me, I tested and reviewed them all (check out my signature link). Slim Grip Ultra is the only universal that fits everything up to Note 2/3 and 7"/8" tablets and it will hold a heavier phone even with ZL battery.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??
The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.
Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).
they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

Aaaand then there was one. Thanks for spotting that @adam_ky ! Sure beats the $32 "clearance" one I found at Wal-Mart. Lol
I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!
Nice.

Glad to help. I have found ebay to be the best solution when searching for a good deal on a case. I only have the hd not the plus but i really like the groovy case looks good and works nice. I hope you like it.

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.
Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
