Just received this. Good craftsmanship, heavy and stable.
Wow, that looks super convenient.. I'm actually thinking of ordering one myself after seeing this. What's your impression of it so far, would you recommend buying it?
I was all set to buy one of these then I read complaints on Amazon that there is no magnet to help hold the watch in place which leads to unreliable charging. Can anyone confirm is this indeed the case?

I have one of these GOOQ stands and it works very well - as good as the original . It has a magnet and the watch is held securely but in a much better position and using less desk space.

Been using it a while now, and it's great. The magnet is strong enough to keep the watch in place, no problem. One thing I recommend is to attach it to the desk with double-sided tape.
Btw, the watch charges pretty quick.

Probably not because of the pin locations, but there is another stand sold on Amazon or from the company site. I ordered one that should arrive this week.

I'm looking for an armband for running to go along with my Zephyr Hxm, but I have found it difficult to choose an armband. Are there any specific ones that were of high quality (cost is irrelevant) that fit the N1 (similar dimensions to NS)? The only decent one I found for the Nexus S seems to be a Neoprene Vangoddy on Amazon; however, the picture clearly shows a Vibrant, not a Nexus S...
Neoprene Arm Band AB83
I use Neoprene Arm Band AB83 from http://www.rungps.net/wiki/ShopBeltsEN for my Nexus S on a daily basis and am very happy with it.
i bought the Neoprene Arm Band AB83 from amazon..
and its going to take a week and a half to arrive
i made the research its the best choice at the moment
have been looking for an armband...
can't believe there's nothing from a half decent accessory manufacturer.
Only ones i've found at $6 cheapo ones from ebay (that, from my experience fall apart after a few weeks) and this one.
Welp, will have to give this one a try!
edit: no such luck. neither rungps.net or the amazon supplier for these armbands ship to aus.

Anyone have the leather HTC pouch Sprint sells on their website for $25? I typically do not use these but want one for specific situations like a vacation I have coming up. If you have it how do you like it and does the phone fit it well? Or, if someone knows of a better one for similar price or cheaper that would be great too. I am afraid of buying a universal because I want it to fit well and not flop around or be so tight I throw my phone across the room trying to get it out.
Thanks!

Yup, I just tested with the pouch. It actually makes it turn on but never off. It seems to trip the keyboard slide sensor. So it may not be too big of a deal as long as you have a decent screen timeout.
just speaking from experience, but that pouch is NOT motorcycle friendly lol. my Shift flew out of the pouch while i was riding one time, and had to get a new one. ever since then, i stopped using pouches.

You would think that they would manufacture something to prevent that from happening. Did it severely drain your battery?
Has anyone received one of these yet? Can you confirm whether or not it covers the usb port and headphone jack?

If you look at the picture, you'll notice that the device they are showing it with is a Kindle Fire with a Nexus 7 screen photoshopped onto it or running an ICS/JB ROM. It looks like it would NOT cover the USB port, but would cover the audio jack.
I was thinking of trying This because it has the automatic sleep/wake sensor at a great price. Only problem I have w/ it is it looks a bit bulky.

I found a phone number for them & the chap promised that all ports are accessible. He said it was a photoshopped image because it went up before the Nexus 7 was released. He said he had received his Nexus 7 this morning so I'm going to assume he knows what he is talking about. I placed an order anyhow so we'll see when it gets here.

Laptop Kit
My case arrived this morning, but alas, my N7 didn't. Ordered 28 June.
The magnetic closure seems to work, and is not too strong.
I received my case this morning. It fits my Nexus 7 perfectly. All ports available & the smart sensor (yes I know it is a magnet) is working 100%. Not bulky like I thought it would be.
I'd totally recommend this. For the price it is top notch. :good:

First of all, sweet username.
Second, is the lid held shut magnetically when it is closed?
Third, has anyone ordered one of these in the U.S.? Laptop Kit has a new store on the American version of Amazon, but I got a little nervous when it said it was shipping from the UK. I was wondering what other sort of fees I might be facing.

Yes it is held shut magnetically. And it is completely secure. If I wave it around upside down it doesn't show any signs of opening.
If you go through the checkout process on Amazon.com it will estimate the duty due (if any) according to this page. Under Import Fees Deposit

Hopefully one of the other N.A peeps will know more.

I just got this one as wel off the seller on eBay (Carbon Fibre version). Fantastic case for the price, and really happy that it has a smart sensor magnet that works perfectly.
I'm still able to fit the Nexus 7 in my jeans pocket (side and back) with the case on, so it's not too bulky.
Dirt cheap but cutouts are all in the right place, the device is a snug fit and it magnet thingy too!

I recently bought a car mount for my note 2 which fits in the air vents of my car, from 'invent'. Despite what they said on the web store, it does not fit my note 2, so I get my money back, no worry about that. But does anybody know of an alternative that will fit the note 2? I specifically want an air vent solution, so others will not do.
Sent from my GT-N7100 using xda app-developers app
Isn't the phone a bit heavy for venting? Any vent mounts I've ever used cause the vent to roll down and put the phone at an awkward and unusable angle.

I would love to help you, but help yourself first: ask a better question
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html
No need to re-invent the wheel I have been using for years Arkon Mega Grip mount and been using it for the last year with my Note 2 (also Slim Grip Ultra works great, check it out in my review, in my signature link below).. It also comes with a very sturdy air vent mount. Though I don't use it in air vent, sounds like it's exactly what you are looking for: http://arkon.com/megagrip/megagrip-windshield-vent-mount.html
What's totally cool with it, it has universal ball-joint mount so you can use it with other mounts as well.
IOTTIE! it's 10, better than any other mount and it will hold many other phones too. It's universal but sold as for the note II and s4. It'll fit most big phones.
You can stick it anywhere and it won't fall, you can also rotate it completely in any direction you want.
It's not vent mounted, but why do you want that? Theres a million better places for it.

On their site you can just select type of your phone and your car and the configurator will find all versions they have for your combination.

iOttie is good, but doesn't work well at all with Zerolemon battery. Trust me, I tested and reviewed them all (check out my signature link). Slim Grip Ultra is the only universal that fits everything up to Note 2/3 and 7"/8" tablets and it will hold a heavier phone even with ZL battery.

Anyone try one on a Note 8? I never actually used one on my own phone. Was testing out on my brother phone, not note 8. Seemed pretty handy and useful. I don't wanna waste $10-20 on one, if it's not good with Note. So trying to get opinions from people who used on Note 8.

one of them looks like a door knob. I do get the value of functionality of these things but god does it make the phone look prehistoric/abominable .
I have an ultra thin phone ring with magnetic capabilities so that I can mount it in the car. 3mm thick. Works great. Stuck it onto a dbrand skin rather than an open back. I can not only wireless charge with it but also fit it in a VR headset.
Thought of using something like this before but decided not too when i realized it would be hard to write on my phone with the spen while placed on top of a table. The phone would just be wobbly since it wont be flat on the table
This 1 might be just right. Got funded 4Xs over goal.

You could try Loopy case. I use it on my Note 8 and absolutely love it. I have small hands but with this i can reach every corner of my phone. Had a few on my previous phones and im impressed. Daughter has pop sockets, other filmsy rings-straps and after trying them my opinion is that loop is way better.
