I had one of them in the past (different Phone), and while they are very good to start with, the suction loses grip due to the lever mechanism failing.

That seems to be great value

its a perfect fit the top clip part is the part that holds it nice and close if you file this down a bit it might fit a slimmer case

That's a very good price. Looks like quality too. Thanks

I am also looking for a holder but sort universal which would fit couple of different smartphones. I have Desire with a case and I am not sure if the one shown would hold it? Any ideas please.

Just ordered one of these - looks unbelievable value!
Thanks!

with a case

you can file the top clip down a bit and it will if its a slim one

I have the Mugen 3200 battery, and with it a bigger backside, which can be seen here:

Do you think it will fit in that one?

Great find! Thanks!

Mine arrived today - looks really good!

Clothespin Earbud/Cord Management

Just a little something I put together, but all my RL friends wanted one, so I'm putting this up here in case people find it useful.
What you need:
wooden clothespin (plastic will also work, but the wooden ones look nicer)
zip tie
earbuds
the clothespin must be this kind/shaped like this, the V-shaped ones will not work:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",
"lightbox_previous": "Previous",
"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",
"lightbox_start_slideshow": "Start slideshow",
"lightbox_stop_slideshow": "Stop slideshow",
"lightbox_full_screen": "Full screen",
"lightbox_thumbnails": "Thumbnails",
"lightbox_download": "Download",
"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",
"lightbox_toggle_sidebar": "Toggle sidebar"
}
Basically you zip tie your earbuds to one of the clotherpin's arms. Tie roughly at the middle of the earbuds, but adjust to suit your needs. Then you wrap the cord down the clothespin and have the pin grasp the end of the cord to keep it from unravelling.
You then wrap the remaining around it for easy unwrapping when you want to use it:

Haha!
Is this some sort of late April fools joke or something?
On a more serious note, that is quite a smart idea! (At least the stock pouch won't leave those plasticky, black, road-tar like marks on the headphone cables anymore.)

The tar-like marks are coming from the beats pocket...they're hanging on the black glue in the beats pocket

Thats not so good for the beats headset they could brake if you do this too roughly

So I got tired of waiting for HTC to release their dock, and made my own

I got tired of waiting for HTC to release their POGO pin dock, and made my own, using the info I found in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1611116
I bought a el-cheapo dock on ebay for about $10:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=110906604719#ht_500wt_1287
And asked for a couple samples of pins from Mill-Max.com:
http://www.mill-max.com/sockets/so_...ARCH_NUMBEROFPINS=&thumbnail=810_40_001tn.gif
Worked out pretty well - the only thing is, lining up the pins to the phone was a pain in the rear. I had to hot glue them in, due to the fact that I couldn't exactly align them using what I had on hand. The phone does charge, and changes to dock mode (as you can see). It only charges at USB speeds though - it seems that the folks in XDA have yet to figure out the secret (if its even possible) to charge at AC speeds using the pins.
All in all, a pretty good and cheap project - considering that the HTC dock costs $70, and this probably cost $20 at most.

DIY for the win. Too bad I am using a ballistic case that hides the pins. I'm just too afraid of dropping my phone.

Wow, very nice. Thinking about doing this myself but maybe trying to keep the dock looking nice

Thanks - obviously this is a little rough for my first attempt. Definitely a learning experience. Due to the fact that the darn pogo pins on are on the back of the phone, you need a dock that will hold the bottom of the phone in place, which limits which docks you can use. I'm not sure if the Kidigi dock will work - it may depending on how much room there is inside of it.
The pins I got from Mill Max fit a 1/16" dremel bit exactly, however since I didn't line them up exactly, I had to oversize the holes, which is why its sloppier than I'd like. Oh well!

That is true, but I guess at the end of the day, when the phone is plugged in it still looks nice. I wonder if someone could use longer pins and be able to do it with a case that has pogo exposed.

Incipio SA-316 Feather case

I have one too. So far so good, though I didn't use the screen protector that came with it.
Is there a docking cradle that works with this case? I bought the one recommended by Samsung (EDD-D200BEGSTD) but it doesn't fit at all. There's a ridge in front of the USB connector that pushes up against the keyboard. I don't think it would fit even with the case off...

you mind posting links to cases that fit well?
i didn't get a case for the new cell so far since i always had trouble with them falling off when sliding the keyboard in and out after a while or didn't really fitting at all.
but if there's one that you ppl could recommend... my new electronic toy could use a lil extra protection

Case/cover.
I'm trying to find that case in UK as from us it will be about £20 !
Does anyone know where to buy it in UK or any online site but cheaper.
If not I will go for it as need to protect my precious (still waiting to be delivered).
Can anybody post some photos of that case as even on google pictures they not show it cover fully unit.
Or maybe someone have any alternative?
Regards
Mac
UPDATE
I just bought SA-321
http://www.incipio.com/cases/smartp...alpro-hard-shell-case-with-silicone-core.html
And even found discount code 20% less !
So I am happy now, no need to buy screen protector even.

Looks pretty good honestly, I may get one of those feather cases.

(If you want to buy one there, you may want to use the coupon code "inc20" - saves you 20%.) (expired)

Just ordered the SA-321 for my wife's Relay. Btw, the coupon code no longer is active.

I have just received an SA-321 case. It's of very good quality and I like the rubbery-but-not-too-much feeling of it. Compared to the SA-316, it covers the power and volume buttons. It makes the power button a lot easier to press and the slide-out mechanism feels somewhat more solid.
I like it a lot.

Agree. Though a bit pricey, my wife fell in love with it instantly. Great feel, good protection, and looks great too.:good:

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

"lightbox_share": "Share",
"lightbox_zoom": "Zoom",
"lightbox_new_window": "New window",

}
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.
