Hey everyone
I saw the tutorial for this online, on instructables.
Holds the nexus 4 (with and without a tpu case) pretty well both in landscape and portrait.
All you'll need is 10 minutes, 6 pencils, 8 rubber bands and 2 paper clips.
Some pics :

For the people with the official qi orb, do you think I could fit it into this? I wanna try but there's no way to get one in India :/
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Hahah cool, looks funky but I guess it works. Heres the one I made for myself, using random parts I had laying around:
http://vikramkhalsa.com/?p=889
The electronics don't do anything, they're just used for the construction and looks. Probably hard to imitate but every one can be unique! I put an NFC tag on it so it changes my settings for work automatically ( wifi, silent, etc..)
Oh and it works in landscape too.

That is so cool! What did you pull the pcb's out of?
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
thanks! The bottom one is from an old optical mouse, and the top/back one is from some switch controller on those baby swing things. I just kept them in my box of junk materials and eventually found some use for them. Then I just put 2 LEDs on the front to keep the phone from falling. They're not actually connected to anything, they just fit the theme
It would be really cool if it had wireless charging.. was thinking of buying one and putting it into this.. but they're expensive :/
Yeah....I wanted to put the orb in mine but it doesn't seem like that's coming to India anytime soon....
Sent from my Nexus 4 using xda premium
Haha, I love these homemade stand things.. so cool! I want to make one for mine out of an Arduino board and maybe have some pulsing LEDs for some added effects.

Definitely a keeper! This case gives the phone a nice feel, it's not bulky at all.and the clip on the holster it's good.it had a part on the end that curves up so it won't slip odd your belt.

I had one of those cases and it broke with in a month. Not saying that case is bad but it will not hold up to the extreme user. Mine got caught on the seat in the car and broke the clip.

Hey All.
I have a vinyl cutter and have made some protection pieces to go over the rear casing of my own Xoom. I used clear vinyl for the bottom section and a matt black to go around the top matt black band around the camera and button etc.
There is nothing to stop me cutting these pieces in coloured vinyl film or the 3D carbon fibre look film.
If there is any interest, as I can make and sell these, I will cut some in a coloured vinyl and post some pictures.

DIY one using an old tube sock

I don't have my HOX yet, but I will this weekend. Coming from a captivate and a MyTouch 3G, the only arm band that was worth anything is the TuneBelt. They make them for different screen sizes, not individual phones. I believe their AB86 model should fit the HOX. They also sell an extender for people with large biceps, so you don't have to worry if you get it and it's too small for your arm.

Agreed. This one is sufficient. I haven't been able to find any others that work/fit to the degree that this one does. Haven't tried the tube sock idea. There was definitely another thread somewhere in these forums with the same question, but i dont recall much resolution coming at the time it was posted, but that's where I initially saw the tube sock idea...
This one here looks good, and it's cheap. I think I'll go with this one soon.
http://www.amazon.com/Fitness-Pal-Black-Sports-Armband/dp/B00880HEM6/ref=pd_cp_cps_0
I tired the tube sock idea yesterday and it just wasn't up to par... When I would sprint the sock would slide down my arm even though it was still tight.): I guess I'll have to shell out some money for a real armband.

Dunno If getting the ab86 or the ab85, the last seems to fit the otterbox cases and I have the incipio silicrylic... If anyone have one of this and can tell if the ab86 is enough or really need the ab85.
I actually have the AB83 and it was for my captivate in its case, but it also fits the HOX without anything on it. It is a tight fit but it works enough to not have to upgrade to another armband.

Here with the incipio silicrylic:
So, my brother got one of these for a gift and after hearing the little thing I couldn't not post a review. This thing has some MASSIVE sound for its size, crisp highs and lows with surprising base. It even has a separate bottom facing woofer, which is rare for this kind of speaker. Build quality is really quite good, and its nice and heavy. Very little interference and doesn't distort until you really crank it up. So, I know this isn't strictly related to the N4, but to any of you who want a small speaker, grab one of these.

Not sure since I've never heard it, but based on the price I'd say that it would generally not sound as good. However, I live to be proven wrong on these kinds of things haha.

Cutting a hole in a case makes it a bumper case, got it :thumbup:
The question is whether it holds your N4 firmly. If it's kinda loose then you're putting your N4 in greater risk.

While it could use some more polish, I guess the concept is pretty cool Could essentially be a cheaper alternative to the official bumper case for anyone unable to get one.
