I have a Siemens SX56 (XDA) branded AT&T Wireless that I’d be willing to part with. Details:
~ screen is in perfect shape
~ housing has a couple surface cracks near the power button and IR and some light wear spots
~ antennae has a couple nicks from normal wear
~ battery holds a charge but isn’t what she used to be
~ unit has been unlocked with ROM Kitchen by the brilliant XDA Developers
~ comes with the original charger / base, original faux leather case and a
second faux leather case (I personally like the third party case more)
~ phone still works like new
I prefer to sell to someone in this community. Can do so via eBay or direct. I will only accept PayPal –
can share eBay name to verify identity and check sales record / feedback. I'm in the US, Minnesota to be exact.
If interested PM me and we can discuss further. Able to supply pics upon request. If there's
enough interest for misc bits and pieces I would consider parting it out.
Thanks,
Dave
Hey everybody!
I go by Tactus Texas over at notioninkhacks.com and I am an electronics manufacturer and an Adam enthusiast. I have the capability to produce cases with my manufacturing partners but I want to get the communities input first before I take anything to production.
What do you want in a case for your Adam? My current idea is that of a "second skin" a thin and light hard case that will be always on your adam and will cover everything while leaving access to ports, the camera, and the display/buttons. I want to be clear your input is going towards a real product that I hope to bring to market within the next few weeks provided we manage to get Notions blessing to go ahead.
Chime in and have your say as to what it should be, if anything, this project will only happen with community support!

If you interested in being put on this list to be notified when pre orders start go to the notion ink hacks website and look under the accessory section and submit your information!
I'm expecting my NI very soon and as a casing I think I would opt for something of a hard leather casing I could fold open as a book, interface ports available of course and easy to slide out to show of in full and home usage.
two types of cases i really enjoy are:
1. leather case that can be used as a stand too like this:
http://www.amazon.com/Cyber-Acoustics-IC-1000BK-Leather-Cover/dp/B0042BVSF4/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1295661437&sr=8-7
if you could make a magnetic strip that run from top to bottom or left to right to latch it close that would be fantastic
2. Or a soft gel like this one
http://www.amazon.com/Amzer-Argyle-Gloss-Samsung-Google/dp/B004FPZBSC/ref=sr_1_35?ie=UTF8&qid=1295661879&sr=8-35
hate the hard shell pastic cases.
whatever the skin, it should be thin and easy to grip
I like the leather case idea with folding cover like a book. I also like the hard case idea. I currently have a seidio rugged case on my incredible, I like the protection a hard case provides. Maybe a hard case with a leather folding cover. Put me on the pre-order list please.
edit: meant to write "pre-order list" not "protest list", damn auto-correct

I want a leather case that will hold a keyboard or a pocket for a small foldable bluetooth keybard.
Hey guys, sorry for my absence here I've been around on NIH and Notion Addicts working with the community on the case! We are now preparing our first prototypes, we weren't able to go with leather (right away) but we are working on solutions for that as well! You can expect to see some shots of it by the end of the week I think you guys will definitely like it!
We will also be producing color strips here very shortly!
Love the idea and agree with what you want. I would add some protection for the camera though. Maybe a Velcro strap or strip that can be removed or folded back.

Hey guys,
Tactus Texas here with more good news today on the Project Stealth front! So many people have been asking when is it coming, what does it look like etc and while I can't answer all your questions I can at the very least tell you guys that we are working at full steam to get this done for everyone. Starting a new project of this scale is hard work but those of us here at NIH and our manufacturing partners are working very quickly to get things ready. We took a slight change in our internal goals for the product, we want it to be as sleek and stylish as possible but our secondary goal is to make it as rugged as possible.
With this in mind you will see a final design that cradles your adam in a soft silicon but surounds it in a very hard plastic so you get shock absorption and a sturdy exterior to defend against the bumps and bruises of every day life. You will also have the option of using a removable screen cover that you can clip to the front of the device with ease as you throw it into a bag without worrying that your screen won't come out the other side. You can also expect a great integrated kickstand as well!
In short we are doing everything we can to get this product to our fellow adamites as we've been called as soon as possible. You can expect to see official renders here at NIH and you can rest assured you will be able to see review units in the hands of your favorite Notion fan sites before you have to bite the bullet and pull the trigger on an order.
Stay tuned, more info will begin to come in at a faster rate, also stay tuned for Project Stealth to evolve into a line of Notion Ink products to cover all of your needs to make this great device even better.
Thanks everyone, keep spreading the word, it is the community that will decide if we go to full production!

On a secondary note how would you guys feel about an extended battery as well? And also any particular favorites for color strips?

If the thing really lasts 10+ hours, I don't see my self wanting to carry around the extra weight of an extended battery (at least not directly in a case).

Thats one of the things we have tried to take into consideration, we do think that there are power users who are planning to use this device in an outdoor environment for long periods of time without access to a charge, that's what we are going for on creating an extended battery solution. We do know that option won't appeal to many users so we are keeping that as an R&D for now. For now what we are working on wont actually be integrated into a case, it would ship as an extension for the existing battery compartment but in a way that wouldn't disrupt the unique grip of the adam.
I appreciate all the feedback here and around the web so keep it coming, we really are listening!
I would like a leather case. with a folding design that acts as a stand. and an integrated bluetooth keyboard. Ive seen this design before for an ipad in Brookstones gadget store in my local mall.
Hey number01pup, we won't be launching with leather or keyboard at launch but rest assured we are working on it! I hope to be able to announce something on that front in the coming month. If not leather a keyboard equipped case is definitely in the works.
charger/extra battery for adam
I would be interested in this kind of charger/extra battery, which would store electricity into normal AA cells. Solar panel would be nice too since I like to take my laptop with me when I go cycling for longer trips.
Unfortunately I can't post a link here because I'm a new user but if you add the www and the dots this is what the url looks like:
mark-ju net/bike_ride/equipment/charger htm
Does anyone know if such products are commercially available?
It would be ideal for my adam.
Battery life
people over at notionaddicts are not reporting anything near 10 hours of battery life. So extended or better quality batteries might be in demand.
Hate the hard shell cases. Something with leather would be good.
Some color or texture that you can use in the sun.
I know that right now most of you do not have this problem, but this summer you will. Flat black, or shiny, in the sun gets hotter than he__! Just today in Florida after an hour I could barely hold my Lenovo/Pixel Qi netbook and could not even think about using the touch pad.

PROJECT FINISHED!
So after another full day of measurements and trial-n-error ... I finally got a finished product, well a few actually ... well a finished product with a few options lol.
Right now I'm rocking the Black skin on my Gear Gen.1 and it looks awesome! SO clean and sleek looking with just enough chrome to set it off with an expensive luxury look, but is now fully protected on all of its sensitive spots. The clasp protector was originally made because as a graphic designer, my wrist settled and was banged on a desk basically 8 hours a day, and that was my cure to keep my watch looking brand new. The full face idea came just for the option to change the color of my watch, the stainless steel looks great and all, but gets played out and sometimes just looks too much ... But I dealt with it, not really having any time to sit and work the schematics for a full face protector. Then it got to the point where I had to hang a towel over the hand railing of the treadmill because every once in a while I would accidently bang my watch off of it while doing my cardio at the gym, luckily the steel has held up well and I've always had one of my screen protectors on it, so it hasn't really been a big deal.
Now with a finished product in hand and on my wrist, I'm just kind of pissed I "back burnered" this project for so long! lol. As I stated before, I know everyone has kind of moved on to the new Gear 2 and the Gear 1 is kind of old news, But I still sell GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors on a daily basis so I know there's still somewhat of a market for stuff like this. Regardless, I'll have my hands on a GG2 here soon to play around with and while doing so I will have a chance to get the measurements for this type of product for the new Gear 2 and possibly Gear Fit, neither have a speaker in the clasp, But I know the Gear 2 has a stainless steel clasp, and speaker or not, that thing is getting banged up ugly from daily use. So all the GG2 people, stay tuned because that project is just around the corner.
Since I originally dropped the GG1 Screen & Clasp Protectors at the end of last year I've seen a boom in people selling products like it on web-stores and places like eBay & Amazon, I'm not saying in anyway that I invented these, But when I made them, the Gear was fresh on the shelves and I couldn't find anything to protect the exposed/sensitive parts of my $300 investment, and once sold to the general public they really took off! and I thank the people here at XDA especially for being my "Beta Testers" in a way and hopefully the people who bought them here were completely satisfied! It was extremely shocking that something I made for fun/necessity turned into an actual marketable successful product and doing it literally as a one man team was a bit much at times, but awesome! ANYWAYS! the difference between what is currently being offered when it comes to full face protectors for the GG1 and what I was able to put together is, my skin covers the ENTIRE front of the gear, As far as I've seen on the net, they only cover the top and bottom portion of the Gears stainless steel face (If I am missing any out there by all means piss on my parade lol) mine are designed to cover the entire front for full protection as well as the option to change the look of the Gear all together. Pretty cool I think.
With all this being said, the only real challenge I faced upon finishing the design was getting the skin onto the Gear and on correctly, the material used for the skin is very flimsy and hard to maneuver, kind of like putting a screen protector on a phone, but worse! lol.
BUT! within a few minutes I had a solution, which was actually a perfect solution. Not only did it do the trick of being able to easily handle the material while putting the face protector on, it made it extremely easy to keep the skin perfectly straight and allow the installer to line everything up perfect for a perfect hassle-free installation (when done correctly) so I am pretty excited about it, and when these become available to the public (Very Soon!) that installation material will be sold with the protectors.
I've also decided to scratch selling the Clasp Protector by itself now that the Face Protector is done and they will be sold as a set, overall less confusing for the customer and myself when it comes to filling an order and just makes more sense. But now that I have a few color options available (more coming very soon!) I think I would be willing to mix and match colors/patterns with the Face & Clasp Protectors if anyone asked.
On that note as you will see in the pictures I currently have 4 color options available:
- BLACK (Jet-Black)
- PURPLE (Deeper Purple, Almost Plum)
- GRAY (Storm Cloud Gray, somewhat close to the gray color offered by Samsung on the Gear 1)
- GREEN (Darker, sort-of hunter Green)
COLORS/PATTERNS I PLAN TO HAVE VERY SOON:
The original Chrome/Steel color I offered with the GG1 Clasp Protectors which seamlessly matched the stainless on the GG1.
- Red
- Yellow
- Blue
- White
- Brown
- Orange
- Carbon Fiber
- Leopard/Zebra Print
And any other Miscellaneous colors/patterns I can get my hands on, just to offer a wide variety and the buyer the option to uniquely express themselves.
And now for the new pictures (Better detail and well-lit pictures to come):
SAME ORIGINAL CLASP PROTECTOR JUST MATCHED WITH FACE SKIN.
And just to show off a little bit of the design aspect of what goes into designing something like this:
Let me know what you think! I cant tell you how happy I am with the final product, it looks awesome in person, these pictures show a great representation, but don't do the final product justice compared to in person, the quality and fit make it look like theres no decal at all, looks like the watch came this way! Very happy!
And again, any and all input appreciated!
Thanks!

ORIGINAL POST:
Hey Guys, I know in my last post on the "Galaxy Gear Clasp Protector Thread" that I said I kind of gave up on further development for the Skin Protectors for the Gen. 1 Gear ... Well I kind of got a second wind on it today and actually sat down and got to work on it, and its a pretty big undertaking as expected, way more variables involved in the front of the Gear than on the clasp ... But I got pretty far on development today and got a few pictures of the first mock up.
They are in Black, That's the original color that I wanted to do all this in to give the watch more of a subtle/played-down look, in my opinion the way Samsung should have originally done it or at least offered the option instead of all the chrome, and I believe the Gear 2 Neo has the full black-out look.
Obviously once this is fully finished, the color and pattern options are endless. One problem I came across while putting this together was covering the side chrome of the watch face (See pictures) which isn't a huge issue to me, gives the watch a little bling and keeps a little bit of the luxury look, this my no be everyone's cup-o-tea, and I may try and play around with a side flap option, problem is, just like the clasp protectors, this can only be able to be achieved with fold cuts. And obviously the Clasp Protector will stay the same because I think I got the best result I can on those, and with any other color besides the original chrome I offered, you can see the Protector is present because of the cut outs and the unprotected chrome areas of the clasp.
Either way, the progress I've made today alone are pretty substantial in my opinion and think I'll have a solid product ready for the public by the weekend. I know the Gear 2 is out and has taken off in popularity, But I plan to stick with my Gen.1 until it dies or they release one that blows my mind, and I can only assume there are still people who feel the same, so hopefully all of this work wont be for nothing, but we'll see.
So without further ado, check the pics and let know what you think ... any and all input is appreciated! Is this something you would think about picking up? any aesthetic adds or changes you'd like to see? again any and all input helps.
Il buy one, looks pretty awesome if i might say so.

never dealt with Amazon, don't really know what that entails to be honest ... but I'll def look into it! And I hadn't worked out a price yet, but for a face Protector and 4 clasp protectors probably around $10ish.

This is a great guide to repairing our Gear Live watches that may come in handy with the reports of broken charger tabs. It actually looks like a pretty easy job to replace the back cover providing that they're available to purchase.
https://www.ifixit.com/Teardown/Samsung+Gear+Live+Teardown/27038
If this is in the wrong section, feel free to move it to a more appropriate location.
A piece of plastic chipped off the back of my watch and the clasp on the left hand side of my charging dock broke yesterday. I have to use a piece of tape to hold watch against pins. That took only a month to happen. Pisses me off because I didn't listen to the reviewers or forums. Think I may grab a 360 if Samsung won't fix it. I bought it off eBay brand new last month, so I don't know how that's all gonna work. You pay $250 (or whatever the final price is) and the back is plastic as well as the charging dock. Live and learn I guess. I still love the hell out of the watch, but DEFINETELY see this same exact thing happening to a lot of folks.
I've had this case for few days and it suits my needs perfectly:good:. Every review is nothing but a personal opinion at the end of the day.. so i'm just trying to give my views here in order to help anybody who has the same requirement.
Below were my requirements and how this case fulfilled it:
1. Protection with Feel & look of leather: As much as I wanted to carry my S6 edge case-less, I was always scared due to my hyper active 2 year old son. Thus, I wanted a case which covered the phone fully so that I don't have to worry when I leave it unattended at home. I've always been a fan of leather bags, wallets & phone cases.. so, this case was a natural choice and I wasn't disappointed. I love the feel of this case.. the leather is full-grain leather , which is basically real natural leather.
2. Travel friendly: I like to travel light and having NOT to carry a separate wallet and a phone with its case in addition to my car keys was indeed a BIG PLUS. All I really need in my wallet is my DL and couple of credit cards and this case did the trick for me.
3. Kickstand feature: There are times when we are outside and my son wouldn't eat anything unless I put up some videos for him to watch and get distracted.. Again, this case came handy.. just prop it up without ever worrying about the wear & tear on my S6 edge's edge part!!
The only area of concern that I can think of is - a scenario wherein you have credit cards in all the pockets of this case which would make it quite thick to hold comfortably.
Anyways, this case works for me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Below are some pics and the link to it's Amazon listing:

2. Travel friendly: I like to travel light and having NOT to carry a separate wallet and a phone with its case in addition to my car keys was indeed a BIG PLUS. All I really need in my wallet is my DL and couple of credit cards and this case did the trick for me.
3. Kickstand feature: There are times when we are outside and my son wouldn't eat anything unless I put up some videos for him to watch and get distracted.. Again, this case came handy.. just prop it up without ever worrying about the wear & tear on my S6 edge's edge part!!
The only area of concern that I can think of is - a scenario wherein you have credit cards in all the pockets of this case which would make it quite thick to hold comfortably.
Anyways, this case works for me and I wouldn't hesitate to recommend it. Below are some pics and the link to it's Amazon listing:

Yeah, I considered doing the review special for this as well. They sent me the email with the discount code but the part that got me was this:
"please remember that , while you accept the coupon , you are agree to leave a 5 star review on amazon( We will provide best customer service) and you need to start a new thread with pics review one this forum "
If they expect me to agree to a 5 star review before I've even tried their product, it's not really a review, it's just paid advertising. IDK, that bothered me so I didn't do it. I'm glad you like the case, it looks nice.

I was actually looking for a case with my above mentioned requirements, so this fit the bill almost perfectly.
However, even I was pestered for a review which I didn't really like.. (though they didn't ask for 5 stars & I didn't give any 5 stars). So, Yeah.. I agree with you. That's kind of shady.
Disclosure: I obtained the case with a heavy discount in exchange for feedback also. The discount has not affected my response/review.
The points you hit in your review is essentially exactly my feeling regarding the case. It's great as an alternative to carrying a wallet and phone if you don't have much to carry. I don't have any kids so I can't comment on that aspect.
Overall though, I like it but it won't be my daily for the moment due to how I use my existing case.

I've had this case for few days and it suits my needs perfectly:good:. Every review is nothing but a personal opinion at the end of the day.. so i'm just trying to give my views here in order to help anybody who has the same requirement.

How is the case by now ?

Yes,I'm also doubt their good reviews are just purchased ones...not worth to believe at all...
