Pillow talk, anyone? - Nexus 7 Accessories

To my surprise, I've gotten used to snuggling up with my Nexus 7 instead of a book to wind down at night. Currently in middle of Season Three (I think) of Northern Exposure. It works quite well to defuse stress.
My problem is that I need something to prop up the tablet. I've tried to prop it on some cushions with other cushions or a book to hold it in place, but it slips down constantly. I have an easel-style stand, and one of the Poetic cases that sort of folds into a stand (but doesn't stay put), but what I really need is a pillow. I even went to try the one being hawked on TV at the moment (the "GoGo Pillow"), and the design would work, but it's too big for the 7" Nexus and not adjustable. I've seen some similar designs, some of which clearly won't accommodate a 7" tablet but others that look like they'd work.
The most promising looks to be the Lap Pro on Amazon, but I'd love to hear a personal recommendation if anyone's tried one of these or a similar product.
Does anyone have a solution that works for this very first-world problem? Next up, why does Whole Foods leave the feta in the salad bar in such big unmanageable chunks? :laugh:

Wasn't entirely sure how you have your tablet from what I read.
Do you prefer to watch it while lying down? On your side? On your stomach?
Or do you sit while you doze off? Personally I have this case (rooCASE Multi-Angle) which would be helpful if you have it laying next to you on your side. In addition, I love it when you are working on a desk, as it gives you that angled look without having to hold it up. Not only that, it's pretty thick, and I carry various stuff like the crazy college kid I am, but know the tablet can take a beating and a good dropping while in my book bag.
I know it's out of stock but there are many cases like it. I think you can find a very similar one made by poetic.
Hope this helps out. :fingers-crossed:

I found this on google, I thought it might be interesting!

Something like this? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Universal...let_Mounts_Stands_Holders&hash=item2587de5534
I have a couple of these, one at work and one at home, fits the N7 perfectly and the angle is completely adjustable.

This is useful
Thanks for sharing this / Thought it is a simple search in google / It made me to understand what a Pillow Talk is

Overboard Waterproof cases

Hi, Anybody got any experience with these things b4 I buy?
I see on their web site http://www.over-board.co.uk/catalog/product_info.php?cPath=30_43&products_id=43 that this bit of kit would fit a TyTnII.
But paying £434 for the device I am a tad twitchy re a £14.99 bag protecting it even though the supplier/manufacturer say it is up to the job?
Any advice welcome.....
My brother-in-law has another brand of this type of case and it works well.

Thanks chaps.
ChumleyEx are you avin a laugh?
Ziploc food bags? )))) lol
Don't laugh, when I go to a water park, pool, or any place my phone might get wet, I put mine in a zip loc. The "snack" size ones work perfect.
Heres an idea from you guys!!!
Buy one , call Guiness Book of records, Be the first to send a text message from your phone from underwater!!
Too late already done it, did'nt get in
I used an AquaPac with my previous phone. Unfortunately my Tilt won't fit in the bag, or at least not WELL. It's just slightly too tacky and large to fit and once it goes in it's hell getting it back out.
But they do make larger ones, even very large ones. They're great if you know there is a good chance of the phone getting dunked or wet from rain, etc.. I always used mine when geocaching around water or in the rain. So far I've just avoided the situations with the Tilt, but I'd like to get a larger AquaPac sometime.
Yeah, ordered it now.
I want to use it when in the hotel spa, pool etc. Still not too sure how the touch screen will work whilst in but will give it a go
Thanks folks
I use the Cochlan's waterproof bags You get three different sizes in a pack and work great. I use it if I go to the beach.
This is what i use and it works great.
Have now got the case.
I must say it looks very think plastic but I see that it is a good design, but think I will still twitch when using it!!!
Also got it now.
Did a test with it and it works.
Even tested it with my Tytn2

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?

hard keyboard cover/case?

I got my wife a hard shell keyboard cover/case for her Galaxy Note 8 and it's quite a good keyboard (internal battery powers it, using bluetooth to the tablet) and acts as a stand too.
I am hoping that similar accessories for Z3TC will come along. If you see such a thing, please post a response to this discussion, thanks!
This image shows the case and the way it can be used.

Heres one I found on amazing , im debating ordering it as I havn't found anything else. The only thing holding me back is there are no pics of it with the z3. Return policy with amazon has always been easy for me and they pay for shipping to. If i get one and try it out ill be sure to post pix!

well the Z3TC its a new devise maybe in a few weeks or so we might see all kind of accessories for this device...
See here for Amazon fire hdx 8.9 keyboard thoughts http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2948759
thanks for that; my wife once bought a keyboard with rubbery key caps for her Blackberry Playbook. It was pretty bad, so I am very skeptical of many cheap universal keyboards. That Amazon one looks quite decent!
Looking for the same thing..
Just got my Z3 Tablet and would love to have a case with keyboard...
having one with a additional battery that connects to the magnetic charging port would be even better.
But i guess we have to wait a bit for something like that.
Since i ordered my z3 a couple oft Minuten ago i am also looking for such a cover but havent found anything yet. Any news or recommendations??
There seem to be more folio style covers around, but they're really just a pleather case with a universal bluetooth keyboard stuck in, like this one:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/encase-sony-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-bluetooth-keyboard-case-p51134.htm
every now and then I do a search, not found a proper keyboard cover yet.
now I'm considering getting an Asus transformer pad TF303CL instead. Not sure if you can use it as a phone though.
found this:
http://www.gearzap.com/encase-sony-xperia-z3-tablet-compact-wireless-bluetooth-keyboard-case.html
the picture is a bit unclear, it looks like a flat non-tactile membrane keyboard which isn't so good

If you have question about the product, I can reply to them on this thread.
Cheers,

I used a link from google drive, but now the images are on the attachments, it should be fine.
Cool
Where is the kickstarter page? And is there a battery built into the case?
There is not battery on the case and the kickstarter page is at flitch[dot]io/ks. I am sorry but I haven't posted enough message yet to share a link in xda forum.
I have backed, great idea, though i cant really see you getting the £50k you need as this is just s6 owners, who are going to pay £50 for a phone case? great idea though
Here the link for those who want to see more

Yeah, but it's not only a phone case, it is also a game controller that fits on your pocket and you can take with you everywhere.
nice design
Looks cool and like a great idea, but $62? Man that's asking a lot, even for a controller. Especially one with only joysticks and shoulder buttons, missing the standard 4 letter buttons. I'd pay maybe $30 for this product.

The trick is that the cover is pressure sensitive so it is possible to simulate the 4 letter buttons with the second joystick. :highfive:

Cool, but still too asking too much. Idk how much your costs are but you guys need to find a way to get the price down.

Anyone used the custom creator for skin? How is the quality?

I didnt want to say the brand of skin in title, cause i feel like im advertising the company or something.
Ill attach a screenshot of the image I was going to use, it shows the company im thinking of using, i know nothing about it, they could be utter trash skins.
Anyone used this before? how was the outcome?
thanks.

hmm, im actually going to crop that pic more, looks like a freakin ad dude. honestly how do you even talk about stuff on here without sounding like a shill
ok there, i covered half the company name, and this thread was asking people if theyve used it before, so if they have that should be enough.
I've used this company's product before and it's a good product for what it is. With that said, I took mine off after a few days because I couldn't stand the slight feeling of stickness around the edges. I don't think that's really preventable, so it's not a knock on quality, it's just a nature of having a wrap. I also noticed pocket lint and the occasional hair getting stuck in the glue at the edges. For me it just seemed janky so I went back to a normal case.

cool, thanks. and yea, im not getting this for protection - seeing as it provides absolutely none. But, maybe there is a way to buff the edges after application to dull the glueiness, who knows. either way i will see how it is.
