So I said i would review this case once I got it so here it goes.
So i just received my Casecrown case for my TP. On first impression it seems nice made sturdy. The "top" is nice and soft where as the "bottom" is sturdy and firm.
The zipper does not go all the way around

I guess that's a good thing so the TP does not fall out?
The inside is nice and soft and I cant see anything scratching the TP.
The first thing I did not like was that the inside pocket does not have a zipper or something to close it. I can see something slipping out and scratching the TP if there was to much moment.
The next thing is the TP does not fit "like a glove". There is some extra room and i have tried it out.. the TP slides a little. Not as much as I thought it would from looking at it but it does slid.
Now for one of the mail reason I bought it, the built in tilt. It actually works good not great.. but good! It holds the TP at a good angle for typing. I opened up memos and tried it our for about 5 paragraphs and the material holds the TP in place and the angle is nice. Now i would like it a little high to be perfect but its really not that bad.
The picture does not really do it justice... but trust me.. you can type on it with no real problem. and it wayyyyy better then laying it flat.
So all in all this is a OK case. I rate
quality = 5 of 10
look = 6 of 10
fell = 6 of 10
protection = 4 of 10
I really only like it because of the slant built in. But I think once I get some like this http://www.stealtharmor.com/store/touchpad-black-leather.html on my TP this case will be perfect for just carrying it around.

Of your time, Oh, and some kydex...
Made up this joby gorilla mount.
The locking piece for this joby was attached to my last camera when it got stolen, and it's been sitting around ever since...UNTIL NOW, DA DA DA
The phone is inside a case mate for now, and the friction locking mount is designed to fit over this, better fit.
It doesn't quite work as a landscape stand though, unless I take the case mate off. Oh well, next time make the prong a little longer...
Okay okay, here are some pics...

Here is one more showing it's just as capable in landscape mode too.
What do you think?

I think its great! how tightly is it in there? Will it withstand some shake?
Good work mate
It holds up very well actually, I thought I would have to drill out a notch to lock it but didn't need to so I'm happy with it.

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.
For those who are still waiting for a better case to come to the market like me, but cannot use it without a case, you can try cutting out the Nexus 9 Box for a temporary case.
Just did mine, and it looks great with the HUGE 9 in front plus bubble wrap protection in between, and a kickstand.

LOL. Ghettofabulous!
That's a sweet case you got there
Nice! LOL. I like the music too!
I'm using an old car handbook cover which fits perfectly. For once in my life I have successfully transitioned something I should have thrown away to something useful. My life is complete.
Nice use of rubber bands. Im using one on an ipad air case i found at sears on clearance.

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?
I searched for a tripod adapter (P7 to standard tripod 1/4") and isolated most of them to three. Please see the image below. I'm leaning toward the Manbili due to its high ratings in the reviews and its dimensions:

Are there other adapters I should consider? All comments positive or negative are welcome, especially about the Manbily.
I bought a Magsafe case, and a Magsafe tripod mount, and never looked back. Magsafe accessories on Pixel are fantastic
Keep in mind that those clamp style holders probably won't be able to hold the phone in the middle. I have one from a previous phone and with the P7P it is kind of off balance since it needs to hold it from one side. The power and volume buttons are in the middle of the phone and the camera bump in on the side. So if you go with one like this make sure that the stand is strong enough to hold it like that.
I have 3 clamp style ones, a relatively expensive Manfrotto one, a good solid machined aluminium one and a cheap 8 quid Amazon thing and i use the amazon one more than anything which is a bit bonkers putting an expensive device in a £8 plastic clamp.
I don't have problems with stability but i use a low Manfotto tripod where the legs open very wide and very low https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0152WXZX4/
What is the maker & model of your "cheap 8 quid Amazon thing" (curious minds want to know...)

it's this one but i took the back swivel plate thingy off as i didn't think i would need it

Do any of you have problems with the clamp pressing the buttons on the side of the P7P?
My thanks to all who replied! I popped for Ulanzi's top model.
