Help me identify this accessory - Xperia Z1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

My Z1 arrived yay! I ordered it from eBay and despite it saying it would ship from Memphis, it shipped from Singapore and came with a dock and an incompatible charger. Any how, can anyone tell me what this piece is for?

Found a converter for the charger in the bag. Phew!

its an adaptor plate to allow for phones with and without a case to fit in the dock.

How thin of a case? My case is pretty thin (wouldn't really call it a case, more of just a back cover), and it doesn't fit matter which adapter I use

Couldn't say unfortunately as I don't use a case but the non-case adaptor won't fit my phone because it has a glass screen protector on it. the tolerance for the connector seems to be very small.

Screen only cover?

Does anyone know if the magnets on the N7 would support an iPad smart cover style front?
I had a wooden Miniot smart cover for my iPad and loved it. And I love how the N7 feels in the hand so I don't want to add bulk.
I've not heard of any though...

Looks sweet! This would match perfectly with my Mica Plank watch
I sent an email request to see if they will even think of creating one for the N7. We'll see :fingers-crossed:
We won't ever see this I think. The iPad has 2 sets of magnets. One of the left to anchor the case, one on the right to turn the screen on/off. The N7 has one on the left for on/off only.
Such a shame. I hate how much bulk most cases add.
Better keep my eyes open for the thinnest case I can find.

I sent them an email yesterday and have yet to hear a response. I'll update if there is an answer. :fingers-crossed:

Got a response today and they said no. :crying:
Hunt goes on! LOL
Considering the back of the N7 can come off with a fingernail, we almost need a replacement back for the N7, with an attached screen flap. I think there's an antenna in the stock back though... so an aftermarket case may exclude that. Not sure if it's just a NFC antenna or what?

My DIY Nexus 7 and Galaxy Nexus Combo Stand

This is what you get on a boring Friday night.
Parts:
DVD case
White cardboard
Whiteout
Ducktape
Glue stick
I took a spare DVD case I had lying around (bonus points cause it's white and matches my desk). Then I fashioned it into a tablet stand. You do this by taking off the plastic and bending the tabs outwards. Then you secure the case in some way so that it doesn't slide. I have no string so I ducktaped the case open.
Then I took some cardboard and bent it into the proper shape to fit the Galaxy Nexus. I took an even smaller piece of cardboard and used that to make sure the Galaxy Nexus wouldn't slide out of place. I secured that using the glue stick.
Then I painted everything in whiteout to make it nice and sharp.
Obviously this could be much cleaner looking if I had the right parts but this is what I could make due with in my new apartment which has basically nothing in it.
Enjoy

Official Samsung Universal dock review

I got the dock in today after I ordered it from the Samsung site with the 50% coupon.
I had the iBolt dock for my S3 and was wondering how this would compare.
First off the build quality is excellent. The Rubber back and holster pieces are an excellent sticky rubber.

Even the suction cup is very soft and sticky. I was able to lock it on to my wood desk so tight it wouldn't pull off.
My only concern is that it wouldn't fit my Note 2 with a case. Not a problem. The Tpu hybrid case I made fits without a problem which makes me think everything with the possible exception of the Otterbox case will be the same
My case:
Big surprise to me at least that it came with the car charger. I don't ever remember it stating that on the website. That alone is worth about $15 online. I paid a total of $25 for the kit, but you can also get it on Amazon for about $33.00
Overall I'm very happy with the purchase. I always like to purchase OeM products for that reason. Hope this helped a few of you.
Thanks for the solid review

Have you had the opportunity to use it yet? I want to know if it goes into Drive Mode when you put it into the cradle and plug it in.
Thanks,

Yes I used it already. I don't recall it going into car mode

Replacement Spen with retractable tip?

Does anyone know of a replacement Spen with retractable tip on the market? Google searched this and found nothing. Another solution to this issue would be an after market Wacom digitizer in a metal casing.

Similar to a Mont Blanc styling for the suit wearers.

Not all Wacom pens are compatible. I know mine isn't.
Has anyone found aftermarket wacom pen that's compatible with the note 2?

How about this?:

I bought one and use it nearly all the time.
I don't think there is any retractable S Pen tip.
I had a review on my own thread about S Pens.

SG Note II rooted with stock 4.1.2
I just picked up one of these - works well: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310510020095?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It's not retractable, but it's a little bigger/thicker and has a clip so you can hang it on a pocket.

Yup, other than having an eraser end, it also has changeable nib tips. You either want the plastic easy glide or the rubber nosed one. I got mine for about $24.

Bear motion folio case review (Black)

I got this case because I needed some protection for my note 2 and nothing was available locally .
I was just looking for something cheap and multifunctional .
For $11.99 I really was not expecting much but it turned out better than I expected. It works well protecting the phone , (my wife dropped hers with no damage ) and it does not make it hard to slip into my pocket .
It really shines when folded into a stand which really comes in handy .
The feau leather material is nice enogh and also comes with storage for license, credit cards etc.
The only negative is I have to take it off if I am using the Samsung media dock .
But for the price it is a nice item to have for sure

Got the same one . I like it especially because I can put my cards and ID in there along with some cash. Also, the price is decent.
