Which armband is this? - Nexus One Accessories

Hey my friends. Long time follower, first time poster (starting a post that is). I have a question. I recently watched this video and I'm wondering which armband this guy is using. I asked him in the video comment box and I didn't get a response so I figured I'd start a post here.
Theres the video. Now, I tried comparing this one with these next two links but they didn't look the same to me. These two are the only two armbands that i've seen for the nexus one. From the front of the armband that this guy is using it does look like a tuneband, however the straps don't look the same. If it is one of these two armbands in the link below, let me know.

2. http://www.amazon.com/iArmBands-Arm...Phones/dp/B0017KCZWI/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
Any help would be appreciated.

I saw that one at best buy. The brand is called Rocketfish and it's made for the iphone.

Some accessories (cases, cords,pouches)

Head over to daydeal.com they have some accessories even a TV out cord that says its for the incredible and g2 ( anyone got extra cash to buy it and see if it works? ) I ordered this clear case with a kickstand I'll put a review when i get it. But take a look. Not much of a selection but might as well be prepared
have no plans of making a fat phone fatter. maybe an invisible shield or BSE but no hard case for me.
Hate to say it, but I don't think we'll be seeing much accessories for this phone. Due to it being a Tmobile phone only, I just don't see many making products for it.
Im gonna get something to protect the back cuz it looks like it gets scratched easily

I doubt only being for tmobile will make it have less accessories. I have so many cases and such for my nexus and the nexus was mostly used on tmobile but now they have it across seas. The iPhones an at&t only phone and it has too many accessories. And to ditto what he said there is also the desire z

I understand that the Desire Z will be out as well, and that still means nothing. All those cases you speak of for the Nexus One are cheap cases found on eBay, or made by some cheap China company. I know because I own a Nexus One as well, and it took a while to find a great case for it.
Also, to compare the new G2 to an iPhone is just stupid. iPhone carries the name, and has been around for years. Of course there's a ton of crap for it. Heck the G2 won't even come near to selling a quarter of what the iPhone, nor will it come close to what the Galaxy S has for that matter.
All I'm saying is that we won't see the nicer accessories made by the better companies make product for this phone. We're just gonna get stuck with those cheap ebay crap.

You can't really blame them. In a business perspective making accessories for the iphone is the most profitable since iphone is, in a sense, dumbed down for the masses. Right now I think Apple and Blackberry combined own at least 50% market share. So unless Android can somehow bring their share of the smartphone market up another 10%, I doubt accessory manufacturers will see accessories for Android devices as a primary source of revenue.
Android devices are made for geeks like us who like to customize instead of having things already premade for us. So I'm sure this aspect will appeal to more and more people in the near future. And from what I've seen, HTC has brilliant marketing campaigns. I'm sure in around 3 or 4 more quarters android will have a much better standing in the smartphone market and more accessories will be made. Just my 2 cents.

I just contacted DecalGirl and they said that the phone is scheduled for R&D for their products. They seem to have a pretty quick turnaround once they have a template made for a device.
i have a 99 cent silicon case for my nexus one which came with a free screen protector. they work great, and have kept my phone flawless.... so cheap ebay stuff works just fine for me.
I'm going to miss my Nexus One's foam pouch.
Anyone seen something like that for the G2 yet?

Recommended Armband (for Sports) For Galaxy i9000 ?

Anyone know any good sports armband to hold my galaxy while i'm jogging ?
I've looked at google/ebay and found only universal cheap stuff that doesn't look all that great.
I simply want something to hold the galaxy (which I play music from and use apps for sports), protect it from damage and sweat and allow me to use its functions.

I've looked through the forums. If I remember right, you recommended the iGatdgitz one. I've been going through the net for hours looking for this and the Vangoddy one but found it nowhere in stock.
I am still wondering whether every iphone4 armband will fit. Usually quality companies create stuff for them and if that's true then it's probably the best solution.

Iphone4 armbands won't fit, the dimensions are slightly off. Iphone 3GS ones on the other hand will, I use a generic iphone 3GS armband and it works like a charm.
i ve got one for iphone. sgs is slightly longer, but in practice i am really satisfied...
google for "SportWrap Armband"

There you go:

If the iPhone 3G armbands fit there are probably some very good ones out there as others have suggested, certainly would be worth looking into also.
I will order this one:
h**p://w*w.amazon.co.uk/Navitech-Neoprene-Resistant-Jogging-Reflection/dp/B00486SH3Y/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1300140440&sr=8-3
It's simple, and I think it will fits perfect!
http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...-samsung-galaxy-s-i9000-android-smartpho.html
Fits the phone like a glove but strap can be too short if you have big arms.
IF you get an iphone one, just make sure the material can stretch a bit. (They usually do)
Is the igadgitz too bulky, looks like I would get very sweaty in it?
I have looked everywhere for the miCoach one but that appears impossible to get in Australia without paying more then the armbands total value..

[Q] Galaxy Tab 2 7.0 (P3113) good for kids?

Hey everyone,
Just got one of these for free for buying the Samsung camera I wanted... lol. Now I thought about selling it, but since it price dropped to 150 in Canada I was thinking of buying another and giving them to my niece and nephew (brother's, age four and two) and my nephew and niece (sister's, age four and one). Now the latter already uses an iphone for games and sort of gets it. So I think he could transition into this easily enough. The former, not much, but my brother has a tab and he could show them and so could I, etc.
All in all, I am just wondering how kid friendly it is. I don't plan to deviate from stock roms, just because I know there can sometimes be issues. Might get rid of stupid heavy touchwiz and make sure it's on JB, but that is it. And possibly a dumb question, but if I root and start removing preloaded apps, is that OK, or will it have adverse effects?
What about apps for them? Parental lock?
If it is all terrible, I may just wait a year for a new generation.
The other thing is that I would needed cases for them, preferably on the sturdier. Otterboxes seem to be impossible to find, at least in Canada. Anything else in the tougher case area? Even though it is close to Christmas, waiting isn't much of an issue.
I did find these and they look nice enough: http://www.amazon.ca/Fosmon-Revolvi...2?s=electronics&ie=UTF8&qid=1355546811&sr=1-2
But I am worried as far as actual drop protection goes. These kids are pretty good with the stuff, nothing has been broken yet, but I am paranoid, yet I keep all my devices naked...
Any help and pointers are appreciated. I am on a budget of a hundred per kid, so this just about works out.
Oh and if this is in the wrong section, then I am very sorry.
Excellent for kids. I know a 5yr old that uses it like a pro...and it took maybe an hour to get totally acclimated to it.
Thank you. Any specific reasons? Any clue about case?

i got this one from amazon and it works quite well..doubles as a stand as well....can't find the 7" version, but it's basically this:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...r=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+tab+2+case+pink
also get yourself a good screen protector... zaggshield has been on it since day one and it's great.
Thanks bud. I dont really like Zagg, but I can get some from work for cheap.
Try an app called kids place. Locks the device down to only apps you allow to be run and even works after a reboot and is pin protected.
If the child clicks an advert on a game or clicks to buy more coins on an app it stops that, although it stops the whole app and has to be started again
Sent from my Samsung Note II.
Thanks. that helps a lot. making me feel better about this already.
I'll have to play with it and go from there.
since I am rooting, I am going to install an ad blocker too.
I bought this tab for my daughter on her 3rd birthday she uses it fine. I got a military shield off amazon and a folding leather case off ebay, we have had no problems at all just a reboot from time to time to clear the memory
Sent from my SPH-D710 using xda premium
Awesome. Thanks for the good news guys.
It's perfect for kids! With its compact size, great price and massive app/games range, it's ideal for kids!
Ages 4 and 2, no I wouldn't do any normal tablet for them, Walmart has a cheap tablet IIRC it's called Nabi (see if you can find the first version) they have released a version 2 now with the tegra 3 quad-core and it has this big rubber "bumper" case that makes it way more "kid friendly" kids that age WILL destroy a tablet in no time if not watched closely so go with the one meant for them.

I could not find the original Nabi and also it sounded like a POS. Nabi 2 is more expensive and it is not like I did not find some half decent cases for the tab2. I just wanted to hear from others. Thanks for your input, but it is too late to stop me. I have already invested the 400 total on this. 100 per kid, just my budget
My 4 and 7 year old use mine all the time. I put it in an Otterbox......and keep an eye on them.:cyclops:

[Review] Zero Lemon Battery Case Review thread [Roll-Up Review Thread]

No sense having a billion threads when it's easier to consolidate. I will also link the review to other sites like amazon just to help spread the word. Please post your reviews here! I will update this post once I have mine for a week and again in a month.
Title: Zero-Lemon Battery Case for the S6
This is my first time with a battery case for a phone. I've only seen a few for the various iPhones out there and have only seen one other on a Galaxy S III that seemed to work out but it seemed pretty cool to have the ability to have the extra charge. I was able to score a free one through XDA as long as I wrote a review about it. Here's what I have on Zero Lemons latest batter case for the S6.
Packaging: The packaging on with this unit is pretty basic. Box, cords, instruction manual, plastic coverings, the case and the battery. Once you get everything out it's time to figure out what this gaudy thing is and try to put it on your phone!
Setup: At first glance there was some slight confusion as to how this is supposed to go on your phone. My first thought (and from seeing other models) that the battery would be built into the case. In this version I was surprised to see that it's really an external battery that stays connected to your phone. So you have three pieces to the case. The Case, the power adapter, and the battery itself. Once you get everything connected the battery should rest slightly under the hunch of the rear facing camera in the back. At this point you're ready to slide the actual case over the phone and the battery. Starting from the bottom up: make sure you slide the bottom of the phone and the power adapter first. I couldn't imagine doing this any other way but I'm sure it'll be pretty difficult and could potentially damage your phone. Once you get the bottom figured out slip the top over and you're set!
Now for my review:
The Good: One thing you'll read over and over when researching the Galaxy S 6 is the constant complaint of less than stellar battery life. I don't tend to have an issue with it. The quick charging seems to make up for it. That aside, It is SUPER convenient to never need to worry about your phone dieing. I had a friend get married this weekend and I wanted to snap photos and take videos of the occasion. Normally I would worry about my phone staying alive through the night but by the end of the night (2 a.m.) after a full day of using my phone heavily, I still had two bars on my case battery and 90% on my phone. I would say thing really allows you to use your phone the way you want and not worry about anything. Unintended bonus: Because the battery is separate from the case, this can be used as an external battery for anything. All you need is a cable and you're good to go.
The bad: This thing is bulky. You could say "well what did you expect?" but still. This thing adds a lot of weight and bulk to a device that is just so pretty to look at. Since the case and the battery are separate- they're connected by a power adapter. I mentioned it before but it worries me that if I drop it, how much damage will it cause to my phone. It's hard to say but it's enough to not have this as my daily driver. Because there is a battery in the way of the back and the power port is taken over, NFC and QuickCharging are gone. When purchasing the phone that was one of the selling points and it's a bummer to have to give those up. I use NFC all the time for profiles (between home and work). I'm also a bit bummed that there wasn't an SD Card slot available in this. I think if they did that this could have been easily a daily driver for me. The extra space would totally trump the lack of NFC and Quick Charging.
TL;DR: Will I use this as my daily driver? No, unfortunately not. Will I use it when I go on vacation this summer? You bet. It's a really great way to make sure you're covered throughout the day to have fun and not stress over your battery being at 20% at noon.

I totally planned on it. There's been some general style chat going on and I'll for sure have it cleaned once the reviews start rolling in. Plus side, they're going to send me a 3500mAh rather than the 2800. So that's pretty awesome.

It's fairly common to have testers when new products come out. This is one reason I like to have the latest and greatest phones, free accessories for just a tiny bit of work. Leave them feedback, give them my opinion and a review of the product. I've gotta have at least 30+ different accessories laying around that I've acquired by reviewing things.

I got mine from Amazon for $20. It just came in yesterday. I think they delayed the shipment to put in the new U connector because mine has no issues staying on.
Unfortunately, I ran it down over the course of just a few hours yesterday! Well, I had skipped the step of charging it for 12 hours since when I plugged it in to the charger, it said it was full! So last night I charged overnight for about 12-13 hours.
We'll see how it holds up today. If you have any other questions about the case, I can try to answer them.
I'm kind of bummed out that they're abandoning the 2800mAh early adopters and skipping straight to 3500. I wonder if they'll ship the people who bought the first gen product the new revision.

Review added.
I'll go ahead and post my review as well.
I got mine on Thursday, so had all weekend to use it. It was a busy weekend and limited access to a charger, so I found the case really useful, especially on Sunday. I like having it as it really provides peace of mind for battery life. I was with a group of people on Sun, and a few of them had their battery go out by the end of the afternoon. Not me. With the Zerolemon case, I had plenty of power to spare.
The case does provide protection to the camera (the camera is recessed quite a bit), but also a small lip on the front so that the screen is protected as well.
The case is bulky, and weighs a bit, as expected, but actually wasn't too bad. I had no problems carrying the phone/case in my jeans pocket. The only other con I can think of is that you can't use wireless charging with the case. Not a huge deal, as you hardly ever need to charge with all of this extra battery power.
Having the extra battery power to me is worth it. This is a great case to have when you are on vacation or know that you will be away from a power source for a while.

gimbal?

Anyone have a gimbal they like they use with the Pixel XL for video recording? Looking to get one for an upcoming vacation. Reviews on Amazon are all over the map for each gimbal.
I bought one

I bought a Zhiyun Smooth-Q 2 weeks ago and I used it a little, I walk like a pirate because of a bad foot and it works well, still a little bounce but not enough of make the video look bad. The thing I really don't like about it is it's very un-natural feeling to use, but I'll get the hang of it. I had ordered the DJI Osmo mobile 2 and canceled because it's still another month till it ships? and why wait?

Do the wireless controls work with your Pixel XL?
Hey guys a couple of months, everybody advise me to buy. I don't know that to do, buy or not to buy . It's a good thing and at the same time I don't know do I need it? Watched a couple of reviews and settled on two https://gimbalgarage.com/best-gimbals-for-mirrorless-cameras/ as they both fit to my Sony camera. I heard that the useful of gimbal notice only when recording video. I would to know about this from the user. Waiting for your advice. Thank you in advance !
