[i9000] Stylus - good for SGS? - Galaxy S I9000 Accessories

I'm thinking of getting a stylus for my few days old SGS as I'm clumsy when using the keyboard.
Are those selling over at Amazon or ebay good for daily use?

You'd need a capacitive stylus, a normal one won't work with the SGS touchscreen

The best I have found are pogo sketch pen which are meant for capacitive touch screen.
Expensive but worth the price as the cheaper ones worn out soon & leave a mark on the screen. I tried 2 of the cheaper ones as that is what available in our local market.
You should be able to get these in your local Funan IT mall, else try the Chinese one, if you buy please post the review here so others can decide too.

pen for SGS
don't be disappointed if the pen you ordered is bad. I have 3 of them (noname from ebay) and they're all awful! They just won't slip on the screen and they're like a hard piece of rubber. But recently I used a samsung stylus and it's great. I don't know if they have many models, that was a short one with a cap that could extend it's size.

Carbon fiber skin for the back

First of all, this thread is kinda related to this other thread.

Which linked to the following ebay item that cost $25.
http://cgi.ebay.com/CARBON-INVISIBL...456474?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19c2dd29da
I just ordered one from ebay at a much cheaper price.
http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/e...0733047432&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT
Actually, I ordered 3. It's going to be 8" x 12" so I'll have to do a little cutting. At $1.50 each, I think it's well worth the effort to cut it very carefully.
Just giving you guys a heads up to this if you want the back of your gtab to look like this.

That's a great deal, the only thing I'm afraid of is messing it up when trimming it. You can get them at amazon precut from skinomi with a screen protector for just 5th bucks more than the price of the screen protector alone. I do prefer the look of the one pictured above though
I bought mine from gotshadeonline.com and there is no cuting involved.
srry can't post the link -.-
For anybody that wants this precut... i suggest going here

Fitment is perfect and they are a pleasure to deal with

Skinomi's skins come with a lifetime replacement warranty. The one from gotshadeonline don't.
i have a small dremel tool. i might be able to put it on and then use the dremel to cut it to fit.

You know why it's a pleasure to deal with them? Because it costs $15.00 + shipping.

a dremel? its made out of 3M paper, a blade should be fine, dremel might be overkill
i was mainly thinking about the rounded corners

Phone Stand

I've been looking for a phone stand for quite some time now. Would really appreciate suggestions or recommendations of stands people have used.
Things I am looking for:
Can hold N4 in portrait and landscape
Minimal coverage of the entire front
Good cable management or built in microUSB charger
Sturdy construction
A lightweight designed stand is what I'm looking for. Let me know if you find anything... I'm new to Nexus and have to replace my iPhone gear.
Are you guys open to diy or strictly something professionally designed?

I was looking for the same thing for my newly bought Nexus 4.
I've searched ebay and didn't find anything that looks decent to be honest.
The most beatiful / pratical thing I've found is this LG Wireless charger: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/LG-WCD-80...51188?pt=Battery_Chargers&hash=item3a7fa87b34

But the price is simply obnoxious.
Then there is this ones:
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Sync-Dock...ories_MobilePhoneChargers&hash=item3cd011bd82
Which seem very.. meh. Plastic thing.
Now that first one is sexy! I'd personally be a bit wary of the price and location of the item but if someone gets one and works legit I'd love to know.
Your 2nd link is a charger stand I used with my old LG 2x, they are very good, I had 2 of them (one for work one for home). :good:
I've got two of the second one. Bought off Amazon. Work fine but ensure that they supply the non-case insert adapter as the first one I purchased didn
't come with one. Phone still charges but is slightly loose in the cradle.

I would say pro design, I'm hoping to have something slick in appearance.

The two images posted look pretty good. Too bad the top one is so expensive and out of the price range I was thinking about spending on a stand. Thanks for the suggestions though.

Cheap extra physical button via 3.5mm jack

Just found what I think is a good deal and potentially quite a bit of fun to be had with my phone. Was just wondering if anyone has had any experience with one of these and if they will work with our nexus 4's.
The one I have ordered is from DX.com for £2.35

Well I've got the Ringke Fusion case so hopefully it'll fit nicely too, just hope the postage from China to the UK doesn't take forever.

I was almost drawn in by pressy, which I assume this is aping. But the placement didn't work for what I wanted. I came from a tilting sliding qwerty, that when open and held in portrait, closely resembled a book and was very comfortable to turn ebook pages with (my thumb hovered right over the keyboard's arrow keys with no reaching necessary). QWERTYs are endangered these days, and tilting QWERTYs even moreso.
For anyone else looking for an alternate 'extra button' solution, check out Dimple on indiegogo. NFC buttons that can be placed nearly anywhere on the back of most phones and can be programmed pretty broadly. Not very cheap ($27 for 4 buttons $17 2 buttons), but very handy looking.

A company called strapcode. I purchased through their ebay store.
Picked it up yesterday. Going to have the band installed now.

The band definitely is an upgrade over the black band but there is a slight color difference of the steel. You can only tell when really looking close at it.
It'd been about 10 days with the strap. All I can is that it feels like a real watch because of the weight. People have commented on how it looks good and the strap makes it look like a real watch. Definitely wasn't sure about the black band but happy about this strap purchase. I would recommend it to others who are thinking of switching out their strap.
very nice I know its quite old thread but can these still be bought on ebay? can anyone pm me a ebay link please?
http://m.ebay.com/itm?itemId=380467797551
I just got my first compliment that it looked like a very expensive watch. One person asked me if it was a Rolex... I laughed.
I've had this strap for 3 months now and all I can say is that it's a great strap. It gives it the look of a powerful and costly watch. I believe the strap is usually placed on Rolex and such. It is easy to clean, comfortable and gives a nice weight to the watch.
I also have a screen protect and let me tell you it saved me twice from a nasty scratch and healed itself. Amazing stuff. Got it at best buy.
broke the screen on mine and cant find a replacement anyone know where one can be bought please??

That's a great looking strap, very nice.

Looking for a VR headset

Looking for a VR headset that works well with the 6P. Does any one have any recommendations?
While there are certainly better ones out there, I have the View-Master and it works great with the 6P. A solid quality headset for the money.
Bought a few of the viewmasters to give out as Xmas gifts. Found them too small... no room if you wear glasses or have a wide face. Also was not a fan of the phone grip mechanism which seems to put a lot of pressure on the phone.
After getting a couple ofbthe Google Star wars cardboards, the viewmasters were returned. No issues with the standard cardboard, and I can wear my specs.
saw this deal and remembered seeing this thread.
View-Master Virtual Reality Starter Pack for iPhone/Android: $20 Prime shipped (Reg. $30)

This is one of the ones I have and my only real complaint is that on mine, the clasp to shut it likes to undo itself. Isn't such a big deal since you are literally holding it with your hands anyway.
FTR, you are -NOT- buying this to use the official mattel "viewmaster experience packs", they are a stupid rip-off, you are buying it just because its freaking awesome and works with any other cardboard app.
Thanks for the replies. I should've mentioned that I'm buying from Canada. Looking for something that won't require me to hold. It seems that I would need to spend around $40 on amazon to get something decent otherwise I'll get a Google Cardboard.

There's my review of the Shinecon VR. Ordered from China so shipping was free (at least for my address in US). Noteworthy to mention that you can't use it with a case on the 6P, but I don't regret buying it at all. Great headset. Any questions, post in the review thread and I'll get to it!
I'm really curious about VR. I have the Supcase Unicorn Beetle so it is a little bigger of a case. Are there any, or which VR sets work with the case still on the phone?
