I've had a Gear since they came out. Got an invite for Glass yesterday and ordered it. Anyone using them together? Thoughts?
How do you mean used together? Can't they both only really be used with the phone?
(also, insanely jealous of you! )

Haha, I will be super geek no doubt. I think they can both connect to the phone at the same time. Will have to muster some confidence to wear them in public. I hear the Glass battery won't last long but didn't know if it killed the phone battery. Guess I will find this out in a few days.
I ordered my Glass yesterday. Its going to be delivered Tomorrow. My Glass is charcoal and my Gear is orange. I leave for Boot Camp in January so I don't have that much time with it. Guess i'll have to put them on a shelf for 15 weeks. Maybe I can make a promotional video for Google with the Army's permission. Would make an awesome first person commercial but I doubt that will happen.

Congrats on both accounts.... Proud Navy Dad here!
I ordered Shale (which is kind of a brown color). Status has changed to shipped so I think that means they will be here today. My kids are more excited than I am, and my 12 year old is already mocking me..
Anyway, I hear the notifications aren't great on glass right now, so I guess the Gear will continue to handle that, and I will do other stuff with glass.
On a different note, I've spent the last 3 weeks on the road and the Gear has become the perfect smartwatch. Turning it off at night I have been able to get 3-4 days on a charge so have left the charger behind on most trips.
Works fine. My phone battery is being smashed with all these Bluetooth gadgets!

I thought the price was pretty insane as well, until I got mine yesterday. Its unreal the technology they have created here and I'm sure the production QTY's are so low they really don't see any price breaks from the man. But I feel ya.

So my Glass came this morning and I've been wearing them all day. Very different than what I thought they would be. While the Gear and Pebble are pretty much notification machines, not so for Glass.
It's pretty interesting interacting with it and using some of the glassware.
I've already been through a mild headache and my eyes hurt.
So far the verdict is - I couldn't give up my Gear for anything day to day, while Glass may end up as more trouble than it's worth unless I'm travelling.
There is a lot of overlap between the two devices. I haven't done much with the camera on glass yet, and maybe that is the killer feature.
Yeah, glass won't be replacing my gear anytime soon

I got invite as well and I don't think I will drop 1500 for it. I just don't think it's worth it atm. Really want one though. If it's like $500 I don't even have to think about it.
Just gonna stay with gear for now.

You'd be one of less than 40k people in the world with one...
The killer feature of Glass is using voice actions for everything. Seeing the whole action build in front of your eye is pretty cool. Gotta think the Gear could get there too though.
I feel like there is much more utility to be had from the Gear (or Pebble for that matter) without the need to strap Glass to my face.
wow
wow you can actually buy a Glass now? that's pretty amazing. 1500 bucks though that is quite a price.
To be honest I think that you could do exactly the same functions with the gear as the Glass but then nobody would buy the glass so.. I'll just wait for a custom ROM for the gear. Heck i may even donate 15 bucks for itt haha.
Got my invite also but cost to high figured they would drop some by now. Sticking with the gear until price comes down on glass for sure.

Actually, why not keep the thread and post some pictures in OP.
I'm really annoyed cause I've had this on pre order for over a month, then the day after I get confirmation that it's shipped, I find a massive chip in the finish on the top front of the tablet,
I'd have paid good money for an official case on day one and this happens just really pushes my buttons.

The link I posted has several pics...as for a mini review: it just as advertised, nothing special but well worth the price Amazon is asking. Actually I got mine for $9.99 by ordering almost a month ago.
It only has one viewing angle supported by the flap but it works perfectly for my needs. It is very thin, barely adds any additional thicknesses/weight to the tab.
If you only use it around the house it is perfect. I would not recommend for heavy use outside the house. I don't think it would hold up well to being thrown in a bag, briefcase, etc...

Got mine in today. Really loving it, fits really well and the flap stand is at a pretty good angle for me personally. Like the build quality and I actually think it made it more comfortable to hold.

Got mine a few days ago and I like it. It is a snug fit but I plan on keeping it in the case. I think the viewing angle when propped up is fine but would be nice if you could prop it up at a couple different angles. Came with a small scratch on the back but not worth returning it. I notice other folks had posted about little scratches as well so maybe Poetic should check them more closely before shipping. Anyway, for the money it's definitely a great case! I'll be keeping mine.

Perfect fit
Had it for a over a week. Exactly what we needed. I could see using a sleeve for travel but this is perfect for around the house & in the car.
The Nexus 10 is my first tablet so I really appreciate the auto screen control with the cover.
If you want a small cover/case, this is it.

I second this. A good case, with a scratch on the back - but nothing major. I also wish it would 'stand up' properly, but I'm happy overall...
Hopefully this is a sign of more official accessories to come.

Ordered the scarlet one too. I'll post some pictures when it arrives. Including shipping to Germany it came 35,98 €. Compared to eg official Samsung covers it really isn't that expensive. The thing i wonder is, if we may see some more accesoires in the near future (dock perhaps)? Hopefully Google has something more to come...
It came to just over £30 in the UK. 3 - 5 Shipping days. Can't wait!
Guys any video for this official case?
Wat you guys recomment, should I order this or get the poetic slimline???
Price difference of 20 dollars !!

It doesn't cover the back of the device, or the corners. Much better 3rd party cases already available.

I like the concept of not covering the back, but I agree it should fold. It´s seems prety rigid, making it even somewhat uncorfortable to hold the tablet. I will wait for some reviews and photos around here.

Same here, its a crap design for $30. I'm going to stick with the poetic case. Id prefer something that just covered the front (im not clumsy) because the tablet is so thin and light and then folds into a stand but this isnt it.

Well got my case today, Very Study case.Feels great in the hand. People can hear me fine and I can hear them fine. Two huge cons right now,The proximity sensor automatically trips so as soon as I place a call the screen goes out and to end the call I have to push the power button and then hit end call. And two is the headphone port cover can come loose very easy,And when I mean easy I mean you barely touch it and it pops out. I called Sedio but they are out of the office today and will return Monday. Also they have little dots all over the screen that when your looking at the screen with a light back ground it looks like little specs of water droplets.
I read somewhere those dots are spacers to prevent rainbow effect and other issues related to sandwiching of screens.

Any more pros/cons?
What did Seidio have to say?
Mine shipped on 4/22.
Comes in multiple colors. Seller is awesome. Should protect against scratches from bumps and the problem areas of the watch. It wasn't as bulky as I thought. I got the black one. He sent me a white glow in the dark one because of a shipping delay of no fault of his. The white one wasnt my cup of tea but the black rocks. You do have to remove it to charge. It clips on pretty good. Im surprised i havent seen it mentioned here with all the sanding and such. The groves are not nearly as pronounced as the picture shows. Mine was smoother which i liked. Great with a screen protector for scratch protection. Hopefully the picture uploads otherwise his ebay name is archer28.
One more real picture. sorry about the second post
Thanks for sharing. What a coincidence. I was just searching for something similar and I found this post.
Could you pls share the ebay link?
Cheers.
i found him by typing in lg g watch r case on ebay. his name is archer28. he said he would be listing more next week. tell him Jeremiah sent you. i thought it was a great idea so we were chating back and forth a bit. great guy. said he was taking a break this week. i told him i was gonna post on xda so im sure more will be listed. large range of colors also
It's 3D printed, possibly designed by himself.
My only gripe is that you gotta remove it before charging. I can see me doing that each time I come home from work.
It's not on his eBay yet, but I'm eager to purchase it if the price is right
it was under 10 bucks. i think for me its more of an accessory where i wouldnt always use it but its perfect for those times where you would be hesitant to wear the watch or worry about it because of it getting damaged. its really easy to remove so its really not a big deal to remove before charging. keep checking next week or drop him a quick email through ebay. im positive more are coming and he took a break this week
