Stylus clip/holder/lanyard recommendations? - Asus Transformer TF700

Can anyone recommend a good solution for keeping a stylus attached to the TF700 or to its case?
I used to have a Targus clip like this, but the plastic bracket broke after a few months.

There are a number of different makes/models over on Amazon that have small lanyards attached that have plugs that will go into the headphone jack for attachment, like this one:

Haven't seen any similar to that in your link, though.

Thanks for the link - that's actually a great deal at $4.95 on sale! Do you have this or similar product yourself? I've seen a bunch of them on Amazon, like you said, but was looking for some recommendations from actual users here.

if anyone need ....

[DIY] Nexus One car holder

Hi,
Here is my new DIY Nexus One car holder I just put together:
The base is from Garmin nüvi 200 series and the holder for phone is just plain hard shell I bought very cheap from eBay.
What do you think?

Curious how it holds up in the car, but looks pretty good and low profile.

It looks great and slim also holds phone quite well.
Here are few photos in 'action' (sorry for the mess in my garage):
That looks really good. Much better than my "universal" POS that wobbles and rattles and occaisonally drops my phone:
http://www.halfords.com/webapp/wcs/...uctId_381889_langId_-1_categoryId_165452#dtab
Can you link to the case you bought (or a similar one) please?
And where did you get the base? Was it a spare you had?

I'm new user and I am not permitted to post outside links.
For case just search for 'BLACK HYBRID HARD BACK CASE FOR HTC GOOGLE NEXUS ONE' on UK eBay.
For base search 'GARMIN NUVI WIDESCREEN MOUNT FOR 200, 200T, 200W & MORE' - you will get several results from Hong Kong - they are very cheap.
I've attached photo of this mount.
You just have to cut off two horns on Garmin cradle and stick it on case with some thin mirror bond sticky pads.
Hope this is not too confusing.
Not confusing at all. You've made the whole thing very clear, in fact!
Thank you for the info. I'll be making mine very soon!
WOW BRILLIANT IDEA. JUST ORDERED THE PARTS. Do you think it's better to use superglue instead of mirror adhesive?

Thanks. I'm glad you like it.
I think superglue will also works but I put mirror tape for future considerations - it will be easier to remove tape and change shell case when I change phone.

lol you're always one step ahead of me. Thanks for the idea
Haha I have the exact same holder and a very similar case and I was trying to come up with a way to make them work together. I hadn't considered getting another case and then modifying the garmin holder. I'll be doing this as well!
Rinegpeace, can you please give some comment about the quality of the back case? How thin is it? rubbery on the inside/outside? Would you feel comfortable using the phone with the case on all the time?
Thanks in advance!

For everyday use I would pick little harder case. This one is thin and it is very easy to pull phone in and out. This is preferable for car dock but for real case it is maybe too flexible.
After couple days of testing I feel very secure about holding my N1 while driving and even if you turn this dock upside down it will hold your phone in the cradle. So, maybe you will like it as everyday case.
Here is one short video of detaching and attaching my N1 in this car dock:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=t6xsHC_RQXA
that's awesome, thanks mate!
You can also get the air vent mount for the nuvi instead of the suction mount. I kinda don't want it to stick to glass so this is nice.
what are those mirror adhesive pads? buy them at home depot?

You'd be better off finding them at an automotive store or maybe walmart if they are to repair a rear view mirror that fell off inside a car as I'm suspecting.
This has been featured in Lifehacker some weeks ago, with the same materials... the idea was from a OcUK user.
I've already made one myself for my HTC Legend and it looks great, it was cheap, and it's really sturdy.
Is it me or does the first photo in the original post look like it has a windows logo!?!
This is a great idea. I just finished it for my Touch Pro 2 with no problems. I hvae a slight difference though. I cut the very top off of the silicon case so that my tp2 can slid in and out with ease. Although there is plenty of friction to keep it in normally.
I just wanna say that after 2 days of using this in my car it is just working absolutely perfectly. The easy rotation is very convenient and it looks really good as well, being so form fitting to my phone.
Now that is cool.
I shall be getting the bits this week.

[Q] Hard Shell Case

Does anyone know of any hard shell or silicone cases for the TouchPad?
similar to this;

or better;
http://www.seidioonline.com/
thanks guys
A bit ghetto in my opinion, but this is the only hard case I've seen, but honestly haven't looked. At <$12 shipped it may be worth a shot.
Also, remember that you should be able to find something for the original iPad that will work with the Touch.
check this one out... .30cents shipped w/my amazon prime.....
www .amazon .com/gp/product/B003CMAF9Y you have to copy paste and fill the gap as I cannot post links
That case looks really nice, actually.

Are you sure this one fits the Touchpad?
I could be wrong, but I think anything for an ipad will cover up the TP's speakers.
Look at the pictures of that silicone thing.
BTW, silicone is definitely not hard shell.
sorry never mind

=======================================================
Copying my post from another thread about cases for the TouchPad:
=======================================================
Check this case out:
http://www.amazon.com/Philips-Acces...UTF8&qid=1314753101&sr=8-10&tag=5336653508-20
It's made by Philips for the iPad 2...but based on the case dimensions, it should nicely fit the TouchPad. And it has a few pluses:
1) It has an outer hard shell to protect the TP in case of an accidental drop - while it's in the case, of course
2) Inside the outer hard shell is an air-bubble soft layer to protect it from drops & bumps as well
3) The inside material of the case (the part that actually touches the TouchPad) is made from a micro-fiber material that's supposed to clean all of the fingerprints and such from the screen and back
And...on top of all that...if you buy it on Amazon from Electronics Expo, it's only about $10-11 shipped.
Not too shabby, if ya ask me

Sorry, but (IMHO) that thing is HIDEOUS

Slip case recommendations?

I'm thinking I'll dump the folio that I've been using for a slipcase.
The reason is I don't really need or want a stand and I'll probably start using the tab on a mount in my truck anyhoo.
I believe it may be just easier to hold onto the tablet then slip it for protection.
I'd like to find something dawg hair proof (like there is such a thing)
Been scouring Amazon plus I looked at the Fry's near us, but searching just wears me out.
Soooo I turn to the illustrious members of this great forum for perhaps a place to start.
Searched the forums and found a few dated threads.
You mean this kind of case http://www.bodyguardz.com/universal-tablet-sleeve-protection-cases-covers-sleeves-shield.html?dir=asc&order=sort_priority ?
if you are looking for one with some protection. The one I have is great (especially if you have the dock as well).
google "built ny hoodie laptop case" and look for the 7-10" one. Tablet fits in it like a glove and it has some protection on the sides and back (unlike a normal neoprene sleeve)... though it is obviously alot thicker than just neoprene
I managed to find mine at Canada Computers for CAD $4.99 on sale (in black.)
sorry cant post links yet..

FYI, that sleeve will not fit with Transformer. If you look at the dimensions of the iPad and Infinity, they are different. That sleeve is for the iPad. Cancel your order.
I bought a HP sleeve before that was on sale for 1$. It fits my iPad but not my Infinity.
This would probably work well if you have the dock.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-Sue...1490&sr=8-1&keywords=transformer+prime+sleeve
Just got this one in. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006IKHPZO/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00 It is padded, semi rigid, and will fold into a stand.
I just got this one (Oops, can't post links yet. Search Amazon for "TSS13505US") and I'm happy with it, especially for $8.99 and free shipping. My Infinity + Dock fit nicely inside and the padding feels quite protective.
I got this HP 10" netbook slip case, someone suggested on here: http://www.amazon.com/HP-WV594AA-10-2-Inch-Sleeve/dp/B003UT7QD2/ref=cm_cmu_pg__header. Works nice. Has a pocket to store cables, chargers, portable stands, and so on. If you go the link, the six pictures on the case on the red desk, are from me. There is a picture of the TF700 in the case, and various stuff in the pocket. Plus, it's only $10
Brenthaven Pro Sleave for Macbook Air. Superb case for Tablet with Dock. I have two one for the TF300 and one for the TF700
It's like it was made for it. Nice thing is, if they have it in stock you can try it at your local Microcenter rather than ordering online without seeing. They have two sizes, the smallest one fits the TF700 and TF300. If you order from Brenthaven's website it comes in multiple colors.

I've just seen a sleeve that will be out later this month:
http://www.amazon.com/Tablet-Sleeve...=UTF8&qid=1449678769&sr=1-11&keywords=pixel+c
I wouldn't mind a faux leather flip cover for times I know I will not be using the keyboard for a while.
I am looking for a leather case with kickstand function. Anyone seen anything?
I am looking for something like this http://www.amazon.com/MoKo-Slim-Fit-Multi-angle-Android-Samsung/dp/B00A9G985S/
With automatic sleep/wake-up function. I use very simillar case with Nexus 10 and I am very satisfied with that.
Anyone seen anything?
I think case manufacturers are going to be running into problems since the Pixel C uses a lot of magnets in the tablet chassis to attach it to the optional keyboard. Putting on a standard cover is going to negate this benefit I would imagine.
I'd like to get a sleeve, sort of like the one posted earlier, that will allow me to protect my Pixel C and keyboard when I throw in in a bag or backpack since I'm not sure how resistant the aluminum body will be towards scuffs and scratches.

I need a simple book cover type samsung like case
They could use all the magnets to benefit the folio type case set up like samsung uses the clips in the back of the tab s 8.4
I am THRILLED to be using again my Saddleback leather sleeve from my original iPad. Funny, only couple years ago the iPad came out but the Pixel C + keyboard are about the same thickness Tablet alone would be too loose. Not sure if they make it anymore, but maybe check ebay?

Based on the dimensions, should be a good fit. Comments mention a magnetic clasp which should work well! We'll see how it is for just $4.
I'm looking for a magic/smart cover like the one for the N9 (https://goo.gl/79fapJ), anyone seen anything like it for the C? It should only cover the front and attach via magnets.

exactly what I was referring too with my Tab S 8.4! We need this now
all the people that got it for just a tablet and not a "c"onvertible
The Nexus 9 smart cover was one of THE worst engineered covers I have every used! In other words, it was just a big piece of cr** and not worth the money. Let's hope they bring us something better.

Don't confuse it being a piece of crap to it not doing what you want it to. I was sceptical about it at first, but after a while it started to work extremely well for me and now I don't want anything else anymore!

The magnets in there are just to weak so it comes off the screen to easily (yes, I am using it on the correct side), or does not hold the tablet in place when used a a stand. That alone is a no-go for me.
Also, as a kickstand, depending on the position, it makes it very hard to access the volume- and powerbutton(s), or will accidentally press the buttons down sometimes. This is unacceptable.
Anyone have any input on this sleeve:

Saw it at my local Staples today when I was doing some last minute Christmas shopping for the wife. It's just what I was looking for, and I "think" the Pixel C should fit, but I figured I'd check here first to see if anyone had any experience with it. If nothing else, I'll bring my Pixel C up to the store to test it out and see if it will work.

So I went ahead and ran out to Staples again, this time with my Pixel C. They actually had a couple of different tablet cases/sleeves, but I ended up going with the one I posted above. Fits very well, and in fact the sleeve is actually a little bigger than needed (probably because the sleeve has a more traditional 16:9 ratio), so you could actually fit a few small things, such as papers, cables, etc., without hurting the slim design.
Now I might look into getting a case actually designed for the Pixel C once they start rolling out, but I"m very happy with this in the meantime, especially since Staples wanted to charge me $24.99 for it and I just had them price match Amazon's $10.97! :laugh:

I like that case, but I wish it had the cut out for the back cover lights. (battery level lights) I think they are a very nice aesthetic touch that should be visible.

Nokia case

So i emailed nokia/hmd asking if they could advise when the cases will be available and they havent replied.
Has anyone purchased any good cases yet?

I bought this from eBay.
spigen case.
Wrong thread.
Bought official slim flip brown case, it is really worthy for such nice looking bhone, it is clearly much better quality than common chinese flip cases.
As is stated in other thread here, it does not have a magnet, a had to insert small magnet from notebook HDD into card pocket for screen sensor to work.
Bought something like this: https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB1fgy0...d-PC-Soft-Silicone-Back-Phone.jpg_640x640.jpg
Looks nice, looks even a bit more premium (I mean.. I payed for it like 3$ ) than it's worth. Doesn't feel like it. But the doesn't offer as much of protection as it's advertised. I guess none of them protect the phone any more.. The leg is quite useful (Cheaply made, could break off pretty easily, yet it's still intact on my phone). All the holes for jack ports sucks. 3.5mm impossible to fit (well.. I use other headphones, maybe original ones fit). Maybe I will make the hole bigger somehow.. USB jack also gives problems. You have to adjust the bottom part of the case everytime. Can live with it, but could be better.
