Hey Metalhead, king of accessories I have a question - AT&T, Rogers HTC One X, Telstra One XL

I stupidly let that awesome car mount you sent me go when I traded my HOX. I want another one, which one was it and where did you buy it?
Also is there a nice light case with a kickstand that you can recommend?

Ouch, you really thought you were done with the HOX for good huh?
dock- http://www.ebay.com/itm/Car-Windshi...ccessories&hash=item2c6713cedf#ht_1476wt_1188
Not sure about any kickstand cases, I haven't found one that I liked yet so I've never bough any before.

Ordered. Thanks.

otter ftw

I have an Otterbox commuter. All I can say is ugg. It destroys all that is beautiful about this phone.

Agreed. And the commuter had no grip at all.

That's pretty nice looking. How is the charging handled? I'm guessing not through the pogo pins, but is the USB charging port built into the mount or is there a cable that just connects to the phone?
Thanks,
Billy

Why did you make a thread for this...

Perhaps the seidio surface w/ kick stand. I have the one with out it and its a pretty nice case. Not to bulky.

I have the Seidio kickstand case; it's very protective although the kickstand itself feels a little cheap. Also you can't have it plugged into the charger with the kickstand out, but if the kickstand went the other way it would cover the volume buttons. Overall a very tough and nice looking case though.

It's just a windshield mount. Bring your own usb cable.

Yeah it's just a cradle, no built in charging. BUT it is a very nice cradle and it fits the HOX perfectly. The only reason why I gave it to Gunny is because I got the kidigi dock and didn't need it anymore. Of all the cheap docks/cradles I've ever bought for any phone, that one is hands down the best. Well worth the low price tag.

Maybe because it's a slick dock and he wanted other people to see it?

I do. I only use it when I'm using navigation though. Otherwise my HOX sits in a universal cradle mounted to my center console. Yes, I have two docks in my car. I know, it's weird.

Lol, I see.

sleeves like nexus one?

anyone know if there is a sleeve that fits this phone a little better than the one from my nexus?
I ordered one from amazon... I can't remember but it was made from kangaroo...wish I could be more helpful. Oh it was about 10.99 total.
Sent from my LG-P999 using XDA Premium App
I order my sleeves hand-made on Etsy. Just search for 'iphone sleeves' and when u find one you like, email the seller and ask if they would make one for your phone dimensions. Personally, I like the work of YanaK and I recommend you search for her on Etsy, her sleeves are really nice and she is quick to make your sleeve for you.

Yup.. just ordered one of those the other day. It's coming from Hong Kong but free shipping so not bad. Seller has a high rating so we'll see how this works out.
Hope yah know it doesnt fit inside the Nexus One pouch I just checked
I've been using the pouch from my G1. The G2x doesn't go but just to the edge of the pouch, which works for me.

G2x in effect....

Anyone used Accessory Genie Case

Has anyone here used this case?. I am thinking about buying it, as I would like a kickstand on my phone as I watch quite a few movies on there. Does anyone know how well it fits a fascinate? If anyone has used it do they have a review of it?
Yes I bought one its a great case just when I first got it the kickstand is a little hard to unclip but besides that its good.

How do the metal contacts touch through the case?
Awesome! I've been waiting for this! Need to find a way to be able to wall mount it and I'll be good to go. Might have to drill tiny holes through my case to get it to work without taking the case off, but it shouldn't be too hard. I'll wait to read a review about it, but I definitely want this one.
Great looking out! I love the look and sleekness to it!

as much as i'd love to have this, if I'm spending that much on an accessory for this phone, i'd probably go with the media link.
This looks awesome but I don't think I'd pay that much for it. I'll wait till it's on sale.

nGroove CD Car Mount

Came across this and thought this be pretty cool for our phones. Esp since it will work with a case.
http://www.indiegogo.com/projects/i...y-mobile-device-in-your-car-cd-slot/x/3100862
And you cant beat the price compared to other car holders that do the same thing as this.

Can't use a Ringke Fusion case lol. But any other tpu case would work I guess. I can't personally use it and one can't take off the back of phone too easily without tools. So no go for me.
The "other" Mountek one works with cases too and more "universal" than this one.

There aren't too many options. Check out store.androidcommunity.com/krusell-sealabox-waterproof-case/4A104A13551.htm but its not specifically s4, so fit might be a bit loose. There are a few more in development, specifically for the s4 so that should help.
Yeah see that's more like a temporary case to use when needed I'm looking for something along the lines of life proof

Go on their facebook and where they released the s3 case they hsve commented that they are currently looking in to making the case which I believe that they are basically trying to figure out how to make it.

I thought they said they were not making an S4 case. That's cool. I gotta decide between Seidio, bFree, and LifeProof now I guess. I put my S4 in my dad's otterbox armor and it fit haha but it was snug. Seems like making one for the S4 should be a lot like the S3

I agree. The otterbox is huge and they flat out said no to the S4 to me. I like Seidio a lot though. I had the Obex for the S3, and it was a pain to get on and off, but it worked great.

The on off thing wont bother me because I never take my case off. But it must be able to take any headphone because I use my phone in my car and a lot of others thats the only thing I didnt like about the lifeproof

I actually had that issue with the Obex. I ordered some small monster extenders for $4 I think from Amazon. They were a good purchase, I keep them attached to all my aux cords so that I can just plug that in. Adds about 3 inches to the cord. This bFree looks sweet too, but it's only good for 3 feet 30 minutes like the active.

There's one in every thread that does this. I mean I understand it works, but does the joke not get old? If we wanted to use ziplog baggies why even have the thread. Everyone should know by now that a ziploc will work for the most part. They're too big for the phone, they can rip, and you might not seal it perfectly once, the last 2 end badly for the phone and user.

Can you put up some sort of review online? I just came across this yesterday and I need one bad but I haven't seen any sort of reviews on it... Video would be great or just written. How is the screen protector? Is it a tight fit or is there a lot of space between it and the screen?
