Got this little desk top stand from Amazon UK £8.49
I wanted a stand and came across this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B003HJI1Q6/ref=oss_product
as you can see from the pics it does look to small but it does its job very well the streak does not slip at all in landscape or portrait and if the front gets dirty just wash with a little clean water and its as good as new.
It does not feel sticky to the touch and leaves no marks on the back of the streak, it has a card reader on one side and 2 usb on the other and can be plugged into mains as well so you can leave that plugged in and just connect streak to it for charging
I would give it 9 out of 10 if it was a tad bigger it would get a 10 but for a stand it is great and would recommend it
Although tempting, I think I will go with Dell's overpriced home docking station.
Thanks for the images though, huge help!

Ah most definitely, and with a price tag of £8.49 why not purchase one!
How is the usability of the Streak while it is on the stand? Can you still point around and touch the screen without much give on the stand?
I am assuming the non sticky surface (that the Streak sticks to) is like those 'car mats' they sell at gas station in the States.
.
Yes its very good you can operate it very well on the stand and it does not move, the stivky stuff is not sticky at all so don't know why I keep calling it sticky, its just black rubber and yes just like those mats,i do think the angle of the stand helps as well

Based on this recommendation I bought one from 7Day shop for £7.99 delivered
They also do it in white for £5.99 delivered
It arrived this morning and first off I was disappointed. My conclusion was that the holder pad does not hold the Streak, this is in line with feedback comments I have seen elsewhere. I think this is the same item that Mobile Fun sells as The Genie for £14.99.
However I have completely misunderstood the function. It doesn’t so much hold the Streak, rather it doesn’t let it slip off the holder. A shift in perception is required. It is the difference between non-slip friction and sticky.
I realised this after I sent an email to 7Day requesting a ‘sticky’ replacement pad. At that point I had decided in any event not to send it back for a refund as the built in memory card reader, which reads the micro SD from the Streak, is probably worth the money and the inclusion of a 2 port USB hub makes it even more of a bargain.
When 7Day responds to me I shall apologise for taking up their time. Perhaps if they get some customers based on my feedback that will help compensate for my too hasty complaint.
However a caveat, over time - possibly due to the weight of the Streak - it can sometimes imperceptibly slide down the holder so that it ends up with the base resting on the desk. No big deal but a disaster if the stand is on the edge of a shelf with only thin air to prevent the Streak from hitting the ground.
So the sales description of “Securely holds...” is misleading. Nonetheless as a 3-in-1 accessory it is excellent.

They do sell it on ebay as well mate
Hi,
I have pre-ordered one of these from Play.com as they are doing it for £22.50 where as everywhere else is selling for £30 RRP or sometimes more.
Anyone got their hands on one yet? I pre-ordered a few weeks ago when i first got my Defy and the stock status has gone from stock arriving 29th Nov to Awaiting Stock. I guess the weather isn't helping.
I've wanting to order one as well. Look forward to any feedback people have.

Many thanks for that info, have just ordered one from Play.com - showing as in stock now, but with this snow who knows how long it will take to arrive.
It's going to look just dandy on my motorbike!
Status is now updated to 'Packing' so hopefully will have it soon enough.
I'm going to assume the mail will slow for a while yet while they clear backlog so if i have it by next weekend that'll be good enough for me.
(and besides, i need to switch over my car stereo before i can use the audio lead)
Thats the stereo switched over, just waiting for my car mount and 16GB sdcard now.
I ordered a car mount today, went from 2-5 days when I ordered it to approx 17th December just after I paid.. bastards..
That's maybe when they are expecting staff to get through the snow and dispatch it!

Hi, I was very lazy and ordered the first genuine Motorola one i saw on the web from clove. I didn't notice the price didn't include tax or postage. Doh!
Its a great mount,if a little bulky. I didn't know about magnet to trigger the car dock app. So as I started playing I clicked the phone in and the app came on its like Wow (yes i am easily pleased). And if you dont like the Auto trigger just put the phone in the other way round and the magnet is in the wrong place to work.
I can't really tell from the pics, but do you have to plug the micro usb in separately or is it one motion. i.e. is the cable separate or is it firmly attached to the cradle?
Also does the cradle rotate to be long ways instead of wide?
accordng to expansys description :
Power-pass through –power connection with insertion of the phone, no 2ndstep required. Simply plug in the included In Car Charger into the back of the mount.

yea, read that, would just like to see some actual pictures.
I've ordered it anyway, so I just need to get some patience.
car mount
The micro usb connection is completely separate.There are no sides to the mount at all,only a back and the little corner clips.So two actions.
There are two little tabs on the back that you can clip the power cord to, and leave a little loop to plug the charger into the phone. You could then route the cable out of the way of the
radio or heater controls and not have to re-route it every time.
But as I have previously wrecked a usb connection on my last phone I plug it in on my lap pushing very gently. Then clip phone into the mount.
The phone holder to the suction cup stand is a ball and socket joint, so it can be twisted and rotated through any angle. It can also be tightened, to lock the position.
Hope this helps. C
thanks,
so much for the expansys description..
Could you post a picture?

where did you get yours from?
I pre-ordered from play.com and still haven't received it yet (although it has been dispatched). I know things have been bad in the UK but thats been about 10 days.
I bought mine from Clove
w w w. clove. co. uk I cant post links as still a newbie
But worked out at nearly £33 with tax and shipping, it did arrive in 2 days, but would rather have waited at a cheaper price.
Some other orders for stuff (from different suppliers) took 12 working days.
It was 2nd class post which is quoted as 8-10 working days, so what with the Xmas post yours should arrive any day, but a polite mail to them wouldn't hurt.
New toys never arrive quick enough.
Im not with my car, I will try and take some pics on monday if you still want them.?
Thanks N
I for one would love some high res pictures of it - not for mounting it in my car, but for taking it apart and mounting it on my bike, replacing this thing I made for my HTC Desire.
car mount photos
Hi,
hear are some photos, taken with my Defy. I did take some with my camera with the Defy in the dock, but it looks like my pc is not seeing the SD card.
Your diy mount looks great. My kind of modding, hacksaw and zip ties and minimal planning!
I had thought of getting 2 mounts, the extra one i was going to look at making a bike mount for.
but I dont think it would make a good starting point for a bike mount. Not for the price anyway.
The phone is not that tightly held in the mount. You can pull it straight out without releasing any of the corner tabs. Fine for driving unless your on the Paris-Dakar, but wouldn't trust it on a bike.
On my last phone bike mount hack (Nokia 6220 classic) from
e cell shop E Bay
I just put a couple of elastic bands around it and it was fine. But as the defy has such a great and big screen there's little room for anything across the front.This was a dry weather mount only!
You can buy adjustable car mounts for less than £10, thats 3 goes at modding for the same price as the Motorola. or
Wouldn't it just slip in your current mount?
Hope this helps N.
thanks for the pics, very disappointed its a 2 part process to mount and attach the cable.. o well. I'm expecting mine in the post late this week.
I probably wont put one my mountain bike since its more 4x (hard to get lost on those trails) but will probably get one for my Motorbike.
I was wondering if someone made a carry case with a shoulder strap would you guys use it? I would and I'm looking for one but can't find anything that doesn't look like a girlie pocketbook.
As a man that is engaged to be married to the most amazing woman on earth, I already carry one. It has a strap, it's colorful and pretty and I hate it. But her purse works. I bought a cheap case for The Seven and she carries it when we are out and about. I am still fighting for a man cave...so good luck getting your own man bag
Disclosure: I want one too

Thats would be ok. but i am not sure i would trust that with my stuff. I do like their classic messenger bag but i would really like to see more pics and maybe a hands on before trusting my stuff in a bag company that seems to be going for looks. the 5.11 and maxpedition bags are built like tanks. very strong material build.
The integrated bottle opener is a nice touch though.
I like the bags from Rickshaw. I just haven't been able to justify the cost yet. Would love to grab a Mini Commuter.

UTG Bag
I actually picked up a small bag from the Bench Factory Outlet store near me, just the right size for the N7... and it looks cool cos it has Bench written on it
adamhlj: if you want to trust your stuff to a cheap bag like that then go ahead. thinking like that means you were ripped off by buying a nexus tablet as opposed to a emedia tablet. If you want to buy the kia of bags then go ahead. I'll stick with the lexus of bags and it will last longer.
besides I bought my bag on overstock sale for $50. I'd rather pay twice as much for something that will last longer then 3 months.

50 bux for a nice bag isn't bad. I have used Oakley sandbags in the past and was good, but I kinda like the 5.11 Pack you posted. I may get one of these. Thanks for the info
i started carrying a man purse (tumi t-tech) since i got my first ipad
the bag fits a 10 inch tablet or a 7 incher with some accessories
http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...rh=n:1036592,k:shoulder+bag+tumi+t-tech&ajr=0
it looks something like this one, mine is 3-4 years old at least since i got it when ipad first came out
I got a murse (man purse) to carry my rooted Nook Color about 2 years ago. And it went with me everywhere until I got the N7.
It holds my N7, wallet, keys, phone, over the ear headphones, cleaning cloth, extra charger and cord, etc.
But, OTOH, I am old and get away with it!!!!:laugh::laugh:
Oh yeah,,,,made by Eagle Creek.

Whoa seriously there is nothing wrong with UTG (under the gun). They make a lot of crap and a lot of quality stuff at a decent price. they're made to contend with higher priced items and do this well. My job sells like 100+ UTG items. AND I happen to own a 2011 Kia Forte Koup. It is an amazing car! No really... go to Kia and test drive one. Or an Optima. They're amazing cars nowadays. And the money I saved by buying this car goes to things like my tablet and cheaper bags and anything else I want to splurge on.

In this case, you do get what you pay for...
UTG -
Polyester
5.11 -
1050D Nylon
Saying somone was "ripped off" is not helpful...especially when they are mistaken.
Only thing that popped up in my mind.
You men have it so lucky... murse, tactical bags, back pockets... I'm a girl. I can only stick in into one of the bazillion purses, messenger bags or backpacks I own.

I got with android because i am a fan of linux and open source. I also believe i should be able to do what i want with my mini computer. Android phones are not that much cheaper then iphones and no matter what anyone says iphones work really will with other apple products. And actually, i am considering the iphone 5 when it comes out. Since the trend of android is making high end devices huge. I want a high end phone with a 4" screen. I dont need to carry around 2 tablets. Thats nice that you have a kia. Will it be running strong in 10 years? We'll see. I see plenty of honda, toyota, lexus, chevy, fords, and dodges from 02 on the road. not too many Kias though. Sacrificing price for quality is not wise in my decision. And like beestee said there is a structural different between the bags. I also didn't have anymore attitude in what i said then the attitude that adam had when he said i got ripped off.
Now back on topic.

I like that sandbag. i'll have really give it a once over the next time i see one in the stores. I also have the bag listed below. I have seen it for about $75 but i paid $90 for it. That is what i use when the family goes to the zoo or disneyland. I have also used it for a 3 day camp/hike trip. Worked really well. If it was winter or any longer then i would have had to use a bigger bag. Day hikes just get the 5.11 PUSH. Take 5 min and watch the video on the MOAB 10. You'll see a lot of attention to the little details in the construction of this bag.

Checked out the MOAB, awesome awesome bag. I miss being in the USAF with stuff like this lol. Eh whatever...lol A glock in the compartment, nice...forget my tablet lol
I pulled the trigger and got a deal on the Max Jumbo KISS bag. I think it should suffice. I just dropped my N7 on the curb because my 4yr old kicked it off the seat while I was getting her out of the truck. This is what happens when your hands are full folks lol....
I'll post a review of that bag when I get it next week. :good:
I like the KISS. I looked into that because of the zipper pouch on the side. The push pak has two zipper pouches for water. I liked the idea of the full zipper but my hand didn't fit inside that pouch. Couldn't get headphones out of the bottom. But I still like that bag

Do not forget the having to change bags to match what your wearing. I bought the nexus 7 because i got tired of always having to be sure my bag or purse was big enough to fit my a500 in..I love the device but with its size i might as well pack my computer around.. My nexus will fit in even a larger clutch bag.And a smaller purse that works well with a tiny spring strappy or strapless Dress..
You have to look good no matter what....
guys can get away with nearly anything . Get you a pair of cargo shorts with those pockets that go 3/4 the way around the leg put a hard shell case that opens at the top and there ya go.. nice protection and easy to access... pssssss
with the above about the 4 inch phone i so agree .. the sweet spot on a phone size is 4 inches..Anything bigger is to much to hold in my hand . It must Make calls and Tether to my tablet.. What more do you need in a cell phone if you have a 7 inch tablet...
I personally would NOT use a i phone ... it may be very user friendly But we are all individual people..We deserve to have a device we can make our own.And not be locked into what the manufacturer say is BEST FOR US..
Ok all lets go shopping now...

Yep, I don't buy a purse if it can't fit a small notebook, or now, if it won't fit my N7 and a charger. And I change lanyards, purses, paracord accessory, ocassionally shoes, and hat for the day, sometimes during the day if I have to change for events.
And I have a captivate glide, which is about four inches, and a physical keyboard that makes me giddy (except when looking at cases).

Hey,
a little more than a half year my N7´s screen broke so i didn´t use my N7 for a long time. Would you still recommend me to fix my N7 for 55€ (about 69$)? I loved it so much and i still miss it for surfing and browsing amazon and so on. But i don´t know the community status? Are there still developers for it?
Sincerly,
Phil
It depends.I just bought a like new ,used Nexus 7 on EBay for $100. If you are saying the repair includes part and labor it might be worth it. If it just is the price of a new screen and you are going to repair it yourself you have to consider what your time is worth.
It's the Display unit only. I have to repair it myself. But the time is it worth but I don't know about the money. Is there any good alternative for just a little bit more or would you say the old Nexus 7 still got the power?
And other opinion?
For the price of the screen not many. Seeing we will be getting Lollypop, if you got the skills go for it.
The newer Nexus 7 (2013) version is going on swappa.com starting at about $145 for Mint condition.
If you can swing that, might be a good purchase, it has slightly better specs and form factor than the original Nexus 7 (imo).
There is definitely still a strong development community for the grouper though, i don't see it suddenly dying out anytime real soon.
So I think I made a decision. I repair it for around 40€. And maybe in the future I take a look at the N9. Would buy it instantly but it's not cheap at all with 32GB. But, dayum, that's an awesome tab.
I just did mine with a screen assembly off aliexpress I got for £26/€33. Took about 2 weeks to arrive and less than an hour to fit using a hair dryer, the included tools and a youtube guide. Cheap enough to be worth a go and its good to have it back.

Was it free shipping?? Link to the site pls... And what was included in the box?
Yeah, i thought about buying it at aliexpress.com but i don´t have one of their required payment methods.
btw here is the link (Display And yes, it´s free shipping.
I bought mine on ebay for 29€ (about 36$) because the display is already in germany. So i don´t have to pay any taxes or duty and my waiting time is only around 3-4 days!
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Free...or-Asus-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-7/2020128353.html
Yes free shipping. Included tools are 2 mini screwdrivers, a spudger and a triangular thing like a guitar pick. No double sided tape, mine was fine but you may need some if you damage it.
Does anyone know when a wireless charging enabled back cover is likely to be released and any pricing?

I'm also curious to know about this. I keep searching Amazon, but haven't seen anything yet. There is a thread talking about a wireless charging sticker or something, but I'd rather wait till something comes available on Amazon rather than order on some site I've never heard of.

On the G3 there were (supposedly) OEM stickers, or you could buy the back covers with them already in (supposedly also OEM) I got one and put it in myself and it worked great. Just gotta wait for then to come around. probably wont be long.
Yeah there's a post on this section about some stickers already available from China, but nobody has reported back yet on how they work. Plus I think I'll wait till an actual back replacement comes out. What I'd love is a good sturdy case that protects the phone while replacing the back at the same time. You'd have the benefit of a strong case, with a slim profile. Kind of like the quick circle, but beefier, and without the flap.
I know that the Quick-Circkel case has Wireless charging in it.. But you probably don't want a flap on your phone.. #flapphone..

Yeah you're right. I wouldn't mind something like the quick circle, minus the flap. Because it seems like it's about the same thickness as the normal back. Then i could put a case on top of it. But yeah I don't like the flap, and I want a sturdy case. And I want wireless charging. I want it all! :silly:
I gave up looking for the LG G3 and then they apparently came out. LOL. I had a sticker for my S4 and it worked nicely, but did add a little bulk to the back. There wasn't much room for it.

I know that the Quick-Circkel case has Wireless charging in it.. But you probably don't want a flap on your phone.. #flapphone..

Well hopefully in the next few weeks something might come out. I may end up having to try a sticker, but worried about frying my $600 phone with an $8 coil lol.
I don't trust things from weird websites. Even eBay can be a bit fishy for me. I'll wait until I see them on Amazon and purchase them from there. At least I would have some recourse if there were an issue.

Yep, I'm with you. I'm going to wait for something on Amazon. They always take care of me.
There have just been too many horror stories for unauthorized 3rd-party accessories (especially with iPhones and iPads), but not unheard of with other brands where damage was caused by unauthorized adapters, chargers, wires, etc. Not taking any chances!
Agreed 100% here.
I would love the new G4 but the lack of Qi is pissing me off. I can't understand why they don't make this standard. If you have never used Wireless Charging, you may think it is a stupid perk, but let me tell you, it is not. I have wireless charging pads on my desk at work, home, and bedside. I use the Nokia Qi Charger with multipoint that allows me to pretty much plop it down any way and it starts charging.
Sure it isn't a QUICK charge (which sucks btw, slow charging is better), but amazing... especially bed side.
I am looking online and only see the Folio cases which are absurdly expensive. NO Way am I spending $60 for a feature that should be there in the first place. The little QI coils are basically a single thin strand of wire.
Plus I want an OFFICIAL backplate... and it also (hopefully) doesn't add additional thickness because I want to use a Feather case.
Guess this purchase is on the fence. My G2 is still rocking. I am in no hurry to get rid of it.

I'm coming from the Verizon G2, but can tell you first hand the G4 is 1000% better, faster, strong, and lighter. Better camera, better battery life, better screen, etc, etc, etc.... Sure I miss the wireless capabilities of my G2, that's why I've ordered a wireless sticker from China!

Man you are preaching to the choir. I decided that wireless charging is a must have with my next phone, partially because the charging port on my old phones always wear out from my incessant plugging and unplugging, but mostly because of how frigging convenient it is. And like you, I was also pissed to find out the G4 was not coming with it so I was seriously considering the Galaxy S6. But I was still on the fence because of other features on the G4. But the free 128gb SD card and free battery, cradle, and 32gb SD card threw me on the G4 side. And I am glad I did. Loving the phone. Typing on it right now. [emoji3] But I will not be set back. I WILL have wireless charging, I'm just going to have to wait a bit. Even if I have to buy the quick circle and hack off the stupid flap. Wonder if a normal case would fit on it then? Also don't want to spend $50 on a case only to rip it apart lol. Anyway. C'est la vie.

Ah crop just realized NY user ID changed cause I posted with Tapatalk. I'm paqmanbiker.
Wow autocorrect. Anyway, natepacker, paqmanbiker, call me what you want, it's both me lol. I've got Tapatalk figured out now. It's near impossible to type in desktop versions of forums on a phone. Is it just me? The cursor jumps all over the place and types words in weird spots? Not just on my G4, any phone. Tapatalk is nice though.
I'm in the same boat... Coming for a VZW G2.... I need wireless charging on my G4!!!!!!!!!
I also have a VS980 and want the G4 but would be really annoyed not being able to use the 4 wireless chargers I own!
Wireless charging backs and stickers will be available soon. Just be patient. The phone just came out in the US.
Did they ever come out with a back for the G3?
Yes. Just did a simple list on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/s/ref=nb_sb_n...ords=wireless+charging+back+for+lg+g3&x=0&y=0
