Dell Streak Stand

No cables were harmed in the making of this stand!
A mobile phone display stand, the back circular plastic was originally bent inwards to hold a phone in the vertical position.

The plastic was first heated and bent back flat and a hole was made to accommodate the PDMI connector.
Attached cable and glued into place.

Nice stand.

it was a display stand was from a phone store, had to pester them for it. its worth asking in any stores near you.

here is my "Crap-Stand"... (made from crap I found in my desk)
I took 2 large binder clips and 3 rubber 'things' that I found in a drawer and once pieced together it made a great little stand
As soon as I can find a knife I'll open the lip of the middle rubber thingy so the cable can be attached while in the stand

Sam and Radimus!
your work is very nice!!
Good job in beating the million dollar stands there !!
Rest can always improvise with the ideas,
and work further up with HDMIs or speakering the docks.. (!?)
Nice work!
:thumbs up:
care,
Sony.
P.S. Sam,
a lil of matte paper wrap could make the look very classy too! (just a thought..)
Nice work again.
<like> lolz.

wow nice. you just gave me an idea as i basically took my dlink router stand and now use it as my dell streak stand lol

Im using the same exact stand from my dlink router

I really thought that apart from hdmi, why do we really need the dell dock? besides its better for our pocket if we can be resourceful and make use of what we have or can get for free.

How do you like this holder and belt clip combo?

WOW there's some nice stands in here, my slacker G2 dock still holds up and uses the usb mini cable to charge but I guess these are all good second options to consider.

I'm also considering the g2, do you currently have a case/silicone on your streak...if so, does it fit well or does it have to be removed?

i have begun to love this very much...
I had tried few others and dint like this.
THis one i am kind of having it on all the time.
Also when i use it on my belt it stays put together and not buldging out too much...
The downside i noticed is that putting it back on to the clip after i remove it from the clip attached to the belt is diffcult at times..
I also have an attachment for the holder from addon for my car

just got the g2 dock. i like it but i just hate having to take out my otterbox case to make it fit.

Here are some pics of the G2 Dock being used with the Streak. I had to remove the plastic around the connector on the top cover of the dock to get it to work with the TPU case. This is not enough clearance for the Otterbox case to work. Here's a video showing how to dissemble the G2 dock.

The Router stand is a nice idea!
There is a business opportunity here people!
Modded-Stands with a _out_ for HDMI and Nice Wood or Matte finish!
Can be aptly priced..
<As it is, most of us do have the HDMI cable already by now..>
And we have at least a hundred folks here who can use a really well priced stand/dock for our Streak_Machines !!
care,
Sony.

thought I should share my other cool stand..I got this from Target for 2 AUD. Its a business card holder. Does the job well, always have it on my night stand. The other one is the DLink Router Stand.

I've got the same one. Nothing says MAN like tires and leather. Besides, its a good tradoff between protective and slim.

I have to agree, I was at the store comparing this and the Otterbox and I just couldn't justify the bulk of the otterbox so I got this case and so far I like it. Actually makes the phone feel better and more rounded and I don't press the volume button all the time like I was doing without the case.

looks not thin，but i think very good for protection

I got this case as well, I like it. Tight fit, doesn't add that much bulk and the leather is a nice touch.

Side effect of this case that I didn't realize until I was in my car is the headphone jack area Might be too small for certain headphone jack accessories to go in. Hence why I had to return the case. Hopefully they don't make the same mistake on all the cases. Shall have to wait and see.

I have this case and love it. The above is true but i use wireless headphones. For my car to plug into the aux input i found a cable from radio shack that has a very slim profile and works great with the case.
I wouldnt hesitate to give it a try. It looks far better on the phone than it does in the packaging.

They must have changed the headphone port. Mine case has a more than adequate hole. I can't imagine any headset plug large enough to interfere. If it does, just drill out the hole.

I got a black one like this when I got my Vivid. However, I found the power button hard to turn on and off. The case covers the button (and the volume rocker as well) with a "flexible" covering (see third picture of top). It took some pressure to make the button work.
After a few weeks, I got a Raider case from Amazon for $4. The power button is exposed, but it is much easier to turn on and off.

I think I posted somewhere but this is what I did, cut around the power button about a half, it's so much easier now.

This case is quite nice once you make a slight incision around the power button. I personally used an xacto knife and made one incision at the further indented area where the back's 45 degree meets the power button. That will provide plenty of give and would be invisible to the eye.

They are selling for $5 on both Amazon and AT&T sites right now.
I like the looks of the brown leather, but not the black so much. Anyone know where to get one that isn't black? Even the brown ones seem to be listed as black. Kinda confusing.

I Think the only option is EBAY, mine came from Hong Kong. I saw that all the Chinese sellers where shipping the case World Wide.

hey robrob777, I noticed that on picture 8 and 11 the front flap doesn't fit properly over the screen after being folded to the back? (there's a small gap between one of the segments and the N7 screen)

Does this cover turn the device off when folded completely behind it like most of the Chinese smart covers?

I have this case as well and I am completely happy with the quality and build. It performs as described. Smart cover feature works as designed.

Yes there is a gap, it doesnt sit flat on the screen, the inside segment of the cover doesnt touch the screen maybe beacuse of the material. Anyway on off works perfect. Magnet is very good.

No , when it is folded behind the device, it doesnt sleep the device. It works as you would spect it to work. I read a lot so i fold the cover behind, never had a problem.
i Am very happy with this cover. I would buy it again

Bought a secondhand nexus 7 yesterday and it came with one of these cases. Very nice quality. Would definitely recommend over the cheaper ebay cases... I have one of those but this is much better

hey rob thanks for the pics.
off topic question. i noticed your mouse in one of the pics. which one are you using?
i been looking for a good bluetooth mouse but they're quite expensive. then there are the cheap ones from China but i'm not sure about their reliability.
thanks in advance for the info.

I kinda feel like getting this one. Does the cover lock to the case or will it slide off if you say flip the tablet over?

thats the HP touchpad keyboard.
can get it around 20 - 25 on ebay.
really good keyboard. the feel of the keys are solid and the keyboard itself is made from some sort of aluminium or metal.
downside is i can't find a file that re-maps the keyboard to utilize some of the buttons to work better with android.

Case looks great.

Unfortunately no, the flap just rests on the screen via pure gravity. Smart wake does work though.

KAYSCASE Slim Hard Shell Cover Case

I used this exact case for my M7 phone and I love it. It's still the best case in my opinion. It doesn't add much to the phone and it's a hard shell transparent case that protects the metal side from scratches.
I just bought it on Amazon and I will show some pictures once I get it.

*I know the picture on the website still shows the old M7 but hopefully, they know what they are doing with the M8 case.

I just ordered one for mine. Thanks.

Can you check the top left corner of your case when you get it? Does it feel a bit loose? Mine kind of moves only on that corner. I fear that slight movement may cause scratches over time.

mine feels kinda loose on all the corners except the bottem left, but its not like a loose where the case is going to fall off or anything its like there is a tiny bit of play. i've noticed that trying to take this case off is kind of difficult but not extremly hard it's just weird, all in all a good slim case i think, only had it on for about 12 hours thou

does this case make the phone easier to grip?

feels a little better than the phone itself, i can't say anything about the other colors because i have the black one and it feels good on the phone. there are no lips around the screen so i wouldn't recommend setting the phone on the screen part as the screen will be touching the surface

My clear came in today. It def makes the phone easier to hold. The clear scratches very easily (in fact I think it came with light scratches) but I expected that from reading the reviews. I like it because its really thin and doesn't add that much bulk.

I picked this up but haven't put it on yet. Kinda worried about it scratching the phone with its rough edges...anyone put on and take off the case multiple times yet? Any scratching of the side bezels or back on the phone?

I put mine on and took it off a bunch of times. I don't think I like the case at all. I doubt it will protect the phone at all during a drop. About the only thing it will do is protect the back from scratches which i'm not that worried about.

I do know that it's going to happen. What the actual quality, style, and all turn out to be is going to depend on the manufacturers, but there are some that have already begun to utilize the magnet activation system that's inside the dot view case that enables dot view "mode"
Found out about it from htcsource: http://htcsource.com/2014/04/third-...ing-on-htc-one-m8-dot-view-case-alternatives/
Direct link to one case:
http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/nillkin-...ew-case-black-p44797.htm?referer=aff_aw_85386
edit: should mention this is NOT what it sounds like you're looking for, but it is proof that 3rd parties will probably be doing some designing and developing for more options soon.

I did a quick review of the Nillkin case a few days ago.

While the Dot view sounds and looks cool. I just don't see how it is easy to hold a curved back phone with a flipped back flap on it. It can be done, yes. But why would you want to mess with a folded back flap??

Spigen will introduce soon an Dot-View Variant of the Slim Armor View for the M8.

I'm surprised its taking so long to get these 3rd party dot view cases to market. HTC has given case manufacturers a unique feature to offer but they have yet to utilize it.

Thank you so much for contacting us and we appreciate your patience.
I’ll be more than happy to assist you with your question.
I am glad to hear that you are greatly interested in our Spigen products.
At this moment, our developers have not confirmed any specific plans/releases.
However, we will definitely consider your interest! Thank you for that suggestion.

Spigen don't use to spread rumours officially, but some employee friend of a friend of the cousin of my sister first boyfriend told us that
Just don't care, rely on something: Spigen never left an market opportunity, of they launched an armor view case for the Nexus 5, do you believe they will not do the same on the more popular and appeal M8.
Believe me the Spigen Slim Armor Dot-View exists and will be launched soon, don't spect an pre-release announcement this is against marketing logic (so many people won't buy the std slim armor case waiting for the dot view version)...
