For those of you who don't like cases but are worried about traveling with your N7...

I picked this travel case up at Target for about 12$... fits everything nicely.

That looks pretty slick for a travel case.:good:

I like it might have to go buy one, do you happen to know the name of it.

Its actually not even in the electrinics department of target. Its in the camping supply area next to the travel stuff. Its labeled as an e-reader case and has a cardboard sleeve around it. I'm pretty sure the brand was Embark

Thanks.. I am going to go look tomorrow.. I had a feeling it would be an a area I wouldn't know about.lol

Good find. I may grab one of these.

Just an FYI, I had a similar case for my old Archos PMP. The elastic band wore away the finish on the PMP's frame after a bit of taking it out and putting it back in. I imagine that, if you're careful, it won't be a problem. And one advantage to plastic over metal is that there's no paint to abrade.

Thanks exactly what i was looking for!

That's the right one in the website posted but it says $16 online. It was definitely only $12 or $12.99 in store.

I'm not sure if this will be a problem with this or not but regardless, keeping it face down will eliminate that problem.

galaxy gear band too small?

FYI in case others are in the same situation-Needed 1 more hole to fit perfect-have the black gear-bought a cheap snap back baseball hat-cut off the tab with the nubs-punched a new hole to fit in the metal clasp and worked like a charm

I so wish you could replace the bands though.. would have made life much easier.

Shamrock. Can you elaborate a little more? I'm not quite sure what you did. Did you make the new hole with hat nub or used it as a template?

It shouldnt be too hard to make one on your own, its just a piece of wood. But of course depending of how skilful you are with tools and woodwork it would probably not look as good as the one they are making I know if I made one it would not look very good

You know what.. I just tested (original Pebble) and the magnets in the cable are strong enough to hold up the watch.
If you could get any kind of clip with an arm on it, you could hold the watch up with that..
Perhaps one of those little gimmicky photo holders you see in gift stores with an alligator clip (a block with a piece of wire sticking right up with the clip on the end.. would hold one photo) ?
Bend it at a 90 degree angle. Set it at a height that the band rests on the desk and can take some weight.

There were a few smartwatch / pebble stands on Kickstarter a while back... one called sidekick (listed above) and another called "FirstStand".
I have one of the FirstStand units and it works well for Pebble and Sony SW2.

Leather pouches

Anyone know of a leather pouch made for the M8 yet? I had a Sena case for my Note. I'm hoping I can find something for this as I really don't want to put such a nice phone in an ugly case.

http://www.htcaccessories.com.au/PO_S650.aspx

I will share it here once i find one.

Looks like it fits a bunch of devices..I don't trust it. My sena case was built specifically for my note, fit perfectly, and would never let my phone skip out on accident.

Yes i've been looking daily for a pouch.. (since i got the phone on 6 days ago lol)

I picked up this from Amazon:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00CMRA06S/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It's originally for the HTC One M7. I use it with my Dot View case. It's a bit snug, but it fits. It's been working out a lot better after working it out for a few days. The package smell on the pouch is a little strong, but otherwise I'm pretty happy with the look and build quality. FYI, it's a belt clip, not sure if that's what you're looking for.

I emailed sena cases about this.. they said they'd look into it if they get more attention about the phone. I'd suggest you guys do they same if you're interested. They already made cases for the older ones so hopefully they will for this too.

I just got a Krussel 5x case that's a little too big but works. Quality leather and I owned a 3x size with no problems.
I wonder if a 4x will work.

This pouch case is from Noreve. I have ordered many cases from this company and they have been super well made. And if there ever was an issue, they replaced mine without a problem. Highly recommend this company for quality and excellent fit.

Krussel's web site says the Hector 4xl is the right one for the M8, but according to the published interior dimensions it is 1.5mm short on width and height.

My watch has been shipped but I haven't received it yet. The stock band is too small for my wrist so I'll either have to replace it or do the "baseball cap mod" to the stock one.

I replaced mine immediately with a $8 band from Walmart. It's the black nylon with a Velcro closure, no stupid lettering.I think the part that the watch attaches to is made of lycra. Not sure, but it is stretchy enough to allow for the charger to be installed between the watch and the band. Came with new pins. Buy the size that says 16-20mm. It is so much better looking and way more comfortable than the stock band.

Here is my replacement band. I think the original is nice, but this is something different. It's just a bit more loose and comfortable.
Amazon "Steel and rubber bracelet for the luminox 3100 series dive watches " for 39.95 plus tax.
It has a solid, but not heavy feel. For me it's OK.
However, to present another view, my wife does NOTlike it; since there is no steel/silver in the watch body. She thinks that the band doesn't quite work.

Here's my nato style strap....
Had to cut and seal a space out of it to use the heart rate sensor but was easy and cost £3 off eBay. ...

Does the heart rate sensor really work with that gap between it and your skin? There are posts about people having trouble getting it to work with full contact.

A couple of metal bands I ordered from eBay:
I prefer mesh style bands lately. This one I liked because the links are more pronounced and chunky so it goes more with the size of the watch. It's like black chainmail and more rugged looking without going overboard in size.
I am currently using this one more because I like the "lighter" feel of it. Very similar to the bands on Skagen watches I've owned.
***You should note that the Spigen sticker protector is peeling off at the corners nearest the bezel after only a few days of application!!! I've done quite a few of these installs on other devices, so I know it was installed properly, just seems that those corners are hard for it to stick to. I will write them and see if I can get another set, and if those also do the same thing, I won't recommend this product. Sort of puts me at a disadvantage because I am nervous of the rubbery coating wearing off eventually.

Here are my bands..

i cant understand people that ugly their watches with redicioules covers.
put the watch in a foam box all day it make sure you'll have no scratches.

I really like this turquoise one I got off Amazon. It came with the pins to attach it to the watch. Only problem is that the leather is a bit stiff. Still, I much prefer it to the stock watch band.

Looks nice! Did that come with the slots already cut out for the Gear pin "levers" or did you cut them out yourself?

It actually came with the quality pins already installed, it was super quick to remove the old strap and install the new one. Like 5 seconds. Maybe I'd definitely buy from the seller/brand again. Much better looking than any I saw at Walmart.

Yes, it came with pins and so far I like the fitment and quality. Mesh bands are designed to be very light, so expect that it's not going to "feel" heavy especially if you relate weight to quality. It is heavier feeling than the finer mesh one, though. I expect that eventually the black anodizing will wear/rub off like all of these dark/black metal items I've purchased before. Time will only tell how quickly this happens.
