I happened to find this little gem on Ebay when i was just browsing items for my Galaxy Note 8.
When you are not using it as a keyboard, it doubles as a protective case.
You place the Note 8 either in portrait or landscape-mode in the slot above the keys and it then looks sort of like a netbook. I personaly do not like the other types of case/keyboards out there as they often get bulky and sometimes they do not look to well with nothing to really hold the tablet in place except maybe a rubberband or just a sleeve where the tablet sits quite badly while you type.
As i said before, the keyboard works as a protective case when you are carrying the Note 8 with you. It snaps on to the front of the screen with a good fit and there are no buttons, irports, speakers or usbport blocked while the case is attached.
The keyboard has home and back buttons as well as eight other fuctions such as copy/paste and play/pause for media. It is charged through a microUSB-cable that is included in the package.
I dont use it as much as i thought i would, and sometimes i touch the screen with a finger while typing on the upper row of keys (the number-keys). other than that it works well, easy to connect via bluetooth.
I could also see myself paying a little more for a version with sturdier plastic as it does not feel really safe to place the tablet in portrait-mode, the plastic above the number-keys tend to buckle and i guess repetitive use could break the plastic completely.
I found it here on ebay
and here are some pictures and a video:

Hey, didn't know where or how to figure this out so hopefully someone around here has some recommendations.
Despite my hours and hours on google I have not successfully been able to find exactly what I am looking for.
I want a ballpoint pen + stylus that is retractable (not twist). Black ink only.
Price range $25-$100.
Thoughts? Recommendations?
Thanks
Here you are sir, even if you buy A LOT of them, it would still fit your pricerange

(They wont fit your PDA, but they write, and they tap I speak from experience )
PaperMate makes a very nice unit described as:
Paper Mate(R) PhD(TM) Multi(TM) Multipurpose Writing Instrument, Pen/Pencil/PDA Stylus, Medium 1.0 mm Point Pen, Fine 0.5 mm Point Pencil, Blue
Available through amazon for around $8 US (Until we devalue the $ again)
Try and get a T-Mobile Ameo (Athena) stylus/ pen, it works a treat, and all you need to do is turn the pen over (roll it over in your hand) retract and deploy the writing end to get either a ball point tip or plastic stylus - Mike
The Space pen is very good but I think it's outside this price range
hm, space pen?
parker do one for £10, it has a biro, proppelling pencil and a stylus.

The one I bought had a stylus tip at one end so you'd need to make sure it had that.
Hey everyone!
I'm using my Diamond quite often at work (for looking things up via Mobipocket etc.) and I normally have the phone resting in my pocket. So I'm searching for a case that you enables you to access the phone quick'n easy. I don't need a belt clip or anything else.
The thing that comes nearest to what I want up til now is this:
http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=176954 It looks like there's no button, clip or snap.
Unfortunately it's for the HD.
Do you have any suggestions?
Thx J.
PS. I even thought about something made out of silicone like http://www.expansys.com/d.aspx?i=176956 or http://www.boxwave.com/products/rubberizedslimcase/htc-touch-diamond-rubberized-slim-case_3180.htm with added (magnetic?) "flippable front".
PPS. And it should open horizontal, not like http://www.mobilefun.de/16768-pdair-leder-flip-case-fuer-htc-touch-diamond.htm
these good for you?

http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.15840
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.14993
just search the site. lots of worthwhile stuff cheap
Thank you for your suggestions,
but I'm looking for something I can easily open one-handed (without buttons or anything) AND protects the screen. As mentioned above, almost like http://www.expansys.com/p.aspx?i=176954
Any further idea?
See that one:

The HTC Touch Diamond Black Leather Flip Horizontal Pouch
This case has a padded protective inside, with a magnetic fastening. The universal design allows it to be firmly fastened to the belt horizontally.
Made from a soft leather which looks both sleek and stylish, this case is the perfect way to protect your mobile phone and are superb value for money!
This case is designed for use with the HTC Touch Diamond .
It has a magnetic lock can can easily be opened (but vertical) with one hand:

I like it, that's cool!
I thought the Ori was pretty cool and hard to pass up at $30 even if it doesn't fit the best.
I ordered the Ori and used it for a bit and could see why some of the negative comments about it not securely holding the touch pad were made. I then started thinking of possible solutions to this (I also mod computers and cars) and in about 5 minutes I had a solution. I've been testing it out for a while now and it works brilliantly.
I bought the following trim pieces:
Polyethylene Edge Trim w/ Adhesive
Neoprene Rubber Edge Trim
From this site: (did I mention I mod cars too?)
http://customcargrills.com/products.asp?cat=45
The fitment with the trim pieces is nearly perfect and the touchpad is in there solid. The trim pieces do not extend higher than the TP so the cover fits as if the trim pieces weren't even there. I just need to get time to cut/drill out holes for the head phone jack and speakers.
I had thought about posting up a teaser saying that I had a solution to give me time to get a short video put together but I know how I hate those threads so here are some of pics of the results: (using my CM9 Nexus S 4G)

I've held the case so the touch pad is pointing face down and shook it as hard as I could and the touchpad did not come out. I've already ordered another Ori for my 2nd touchpad. I'm loving how functional the ori is. I'm just wanting to get a netbook sleeve for it to cover it when traveling and such to protect stuff from the metal case.
This review is for the Samsung Galaxy S 5 UtorCase, but they make the mount for so many different phones at http://www.shapeways.com/shops/utor-case.
First - I did participate in, and win, a chance to own one of these mounts in exchange for my trial and review of the product. I am writing this based on my personal review and not any bias for having won the product. I am a long time member of this forum and would not want to tarnish my name for one product.
On to the review:
After receiving the mount I was a little nervous that it would not hold the phone to my controller. As you can see in the pictures it looks just like a flimsy piece of plastic. Apparently, it is 3D printed to fit whatever phone you have and the controller you choose to use it with. Well, I was pleasantly surprised to find that it held the phone just fine. It was very strong and held the phone to the controller at all angles. I was able to play games while either sitting on my couch, laying in bed, or when I took my most recent trip and played on the plane. It held on with no trouble at all. It was very easy to mount onto each device as well. A small tab at the rear attaches the mount to the controller and the S5 just sits in the top.
I am very impressed with this mount and would recommend it to anyone looking for a way to use their phone with an extra controller sitting around the house.
These pictures are from the website as my photos did not come out well. I will upload some soon

Anyone find a soft case or holster for a phone as big as the Note? For my messenger bag, I used my Timbuk2 3way accessory case for my HTC One & Galaxy S5 but the medium size is too small for the Note. Any suggestions for a replacement? I love the Note but come summer it's going to be cumbersome to have to throw it in my bag, not to mention it could easily get scratched if it gets tossed around. I have some other pockets but either they are buried in the bag or too shallow for the Note. Thoughts?

[FOUND] Nite Ize Clip Case Cargo Wide Load
I think I found my solution. Review to come...
http://www.amazon.com/Nite-Ize-Clip.../ref=lh_ni_t?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
They key is that clip rotates and locks in place. I think it'll be perfect.
Verdict: Negative. The case isn't tall enough, even without a case. There's about 2 inches of velcro and only 1/2 inch reaches without a case and maybe 1/4in or less with a Spigen Neo Hybrid case. The search continues.
Hi, any update? I'm looking for the same thing, a shoulder strap pouch for my note 4. thanks!!!
I was eyeballing this case on Amazon myself, but I don't know how the back attaches; it shows a lot more of the top clip function than anything else, but it does look like there's a back strap to loop a belt through.
