Did a quick search and didn't find what I was looking for.
I'm in the Navy and I keep PDFs of all important instructions on my Note 8. I use it all the time at work. I go to a lot of meetings and take notes on a regular 5.5 x 8 inch notepad, I have sticky notes, highliters, and an assortment of pens with me. Im looking for a case that will hold my Note 8 on one side, my notepad on the other side, ans still have slots for pens.
When I first got this I ordered what I thought was exactly what I described above on Amazon. When I got it, turns out the dimensions weren't exactly accurate . It's simply too big to walk around with all day. It's more of what I'd picture an art student would carry around.
I'm looking for something compact, not much bigger than the Tablet itself but with room on the opposite side for a notepad and slots for pens.
Im kicking around a few ideas on Amazon but im afraid to order without the opinion of someone who owns and uses one with the Note 8, in fear of another poor purchase.
Thanks everyone!!
I've been using one of the green "leader book" holders from Rite in the Rain for a little while now; item number C9200A. It's not perfect, and I haven't figured out a way to keep the Note 8 really secured in the binder itself, but there are several pen slots which are big enough to hold a highligher/sharpie/etc, and a few other slots and pockets for smart cards or anything else. And the dimensions are perfect for holding the tablet.
The ones we get from supply (I'm Army btw), come with a packet of inserts that has graphed notebook paper, and fillable pages for things like a 9-line MEDEVAC request, call for fire request, unexploded ordinance, and others. Some of it might be Army specific, but I'm sure you could find it useful too
Anyway, I've been in the same boat as you for awhile, and besides finding some "tactical" (lol) iPad Mini cases/binders, I haven't been able to find much. Let me know if you find something better!

This is one other I was looking at, but it doesn't look like it has any room for a notebook. We don't have a supply! But I'll look into what you posted and keep on looking for something. Right now I got a nylon foldable case from the Chaplains that's working well, but having the same problem as the tablet not being totally secure.
Also, it's big!
Thanks for the input!
I use this one. I don't use the planner, but the notepad on top. I then insert the tablet into the pouch below.

I thought I would share with everyone this wonderul find I discovered at Best Buy. It is a sleeve case made by Init. It's a tablet pc sleeve that works perfectly for the Asus Transformer. There are a couple features I especially like about it.
1. The material has a nice soft vinyl/leather feel (seems like it would be waterproof) and a very nice embossed design (the circles you see in the images).
2. The inside of the sleeve is a very nice soft material that holds the transformer perfectly. It's not a tight fit but the transformer doesn't really slide around much inside.
3. The foldover flap is really nice. There are two buttons on the underside of the flap that snap easily to keep the flap from opening up.
4. Most of all (and the part hardest to describe) is that this case actually has a sleeve within a sleeve. When you open the flap you will see that it's actually two pieces of material held together by a zipper. When you open this zipper it reveals another pocket, a bit bigger than the one the tablet goes in, but this pocket is made for keeping stuff like your power adaptor, cleaning cloth, etc. Since the secondary pocket is completely separate from the one that the tablet goes in you don't have to worry about scratching the tablet. It sits snugly inside it's own dedicated pouch!
I wish there was a picture of this zippered pocket on the images I found both at Best Buy and on Init's website. Not showing the extra pocket makes it hard for people to understand the true utility of this sleeve. (UPDATE - I have taken a picuture of mine, a dark green model and shown it below).
Currently this case sells for $24.99 at Best Buy which I consider a total steal! I will be using mine as the primary case until a better portfolio sleeve comes out but I will keep this around for use while traveling, or tossing my Tranformer in an overnight bag.
Good Luck!

Hi all!
I just wanted to kick off this Friday with a little treat of sorts. I have just purchased the latest landscape version of the dock where I had previously have gotten my portrait one (which I love btw) here; http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1181292 .
Anyway, because craigsdocks.com has been a great store/guy to buy from, I had to try out this version as well. And I must say this landscape is really pretty nice. But for my personal preference and lack of desk space, I think I may stick with the portrait one...maybe not lol....
With the landscape model, this dock can easily be used with other phones like the Thunderbolt and Incredible, and Incredible 2. And the best part of these docks, you can use literally ANY case you want with this dock, granted it's not a HUGE case lol....
Any negatives? Hmmm... well I did have a bit of a battle with the tape and making sure that the micro usb port wasn't too far up. Other than that it's just a space issue that can be easily worked on with the supplied allen wrench.
On the dock itself, you can see the dock is lined with a soft felt padding and the dock is made of aluminum there's a little recessed space for volume buttons as well. The bottom is lined with rubber so that it won't be sliding off of a smooth surface. This guy thought of everything! Including the little notches to run your cord whichever way works best for your phone. Pretty nifty IMO.
Like the portrait version, this has a great weight to it and because of the rubber grip, this sucker isn't going to slide off very easily.
As for triggering clock mode or dock mode, I made a short vid on youtube to illustrate how to do it with a great program called llama location profile. Once you set this up, dock/clock or whatever mode can be made to come up. BE NICE I just put this together at work lol....
But please ask any questions you may have on the dock and/or the program.
Have fun people!

Hi all,
I was looking for a replacement Spen for my Note 8 but couldn't find any good (mostly the offset was unacceptable). Then I found a video where some guy (I can't find the video right now. If you know it please post a link and I will add it here) had a great idea of putting Note's 3 Spen inside old ordinary Uniball pen. With that in mind I bought Note's 3 Spen and found few old pens laying around in my office.
Three hours of work and this is what I got:

What I used:
1 x Old BIC pen
1 x PCB push button
1 x Note 3 Spen
some isolation tape
some paper
some plastic part that I used as a distance inside the pen (Spen was shorter than BIC pen)
Things to keep in mind:
Be careful for your stylus! Mine got stuck twice and getting it out was pretty tricky.
Use your tools wisely. You don't want to brake the Spen or cut/puncture your own hand!
I was successful doing this homemade "spen holder" but I am not responsible for any damage or problems that may arise when you try to do something similar. Always use your brain and be sure you have enough knowledge before you start to work.
I thought one might use this idea if you need accurate and nice stylus in "full" size.
PS
One can of course close the pen and then it looks just like ordinary one. The blue tape is just for my information that this one is actually Spen as I am using identical pen for normal paper writing and drawing
Impressive work, love DIY projects
Nice project and very good idea, i will defiantly try something similar because i got used to write a lot on my note 8.0 and spen is not that comfortable for longer usage.
why cant i think of this... good idea my friend... going to get one... hahaha... kind of tired writing with the current spen... going to use the old note 1 spen to try modding the pen...
what's the PCB button for? to activate the s-pen button?
Hi all,
This is my homemade controller mount for the Galaxy Note 8.0 entirely made of LEGOs that I used to play with... Some years ago :crying:
I did not have a lot of pieces and I only used the ones I found in the basement, that's why it looks like... That. It looks like that.
Here it is:

Ingredients:
- Random Lego pieces looted around
- OTG cable
- Random controller
- A drill
Back view: the grey parts are there just to make it more solid, they're not essential.
Top view:
In the next pic you can see the feature that makes me the most proud: the whole thing is removable and I can use the controller as a normal one. The only part that it takes a long time to remove are two Lego pieces sticking out of its bottom, but they are not in the way while using it. Moreover, no Lego piece was harmed or glued in the whole process: they can all be re-used.
The next one is the "hook" that actually bears the weight of the tablet. As you know, this tablet is really heavy, so it was hard to find a stable and safe way to hold it up. I was lucky the hook worked: it actually keeps it in place even if you shake it a little bit (I haven't done any crash testing, I'm not rich enough for a new tablet ).
A view of the bottom:
The bottom once the mount is removed:
The two pieces are kept in place by other pieces on the inside of the controller assembled in a "U" shape. The only forces that act on them are towards the bottom, so there's no way it's coming off. I was lucky that the pieces I had to put on the inside do not get in the way of the board, but instead they make it work a little bit better, since they keep the board slightly pushed upwards, so the buttons are more sensitive (without, however, pushing too much).
The hardest part of the whole build was drilling the two holes, but it wasn't so bad. However, I would never have used an expensive controller to do such thing.
Overall, the buttons on the Note are accessible (that's the reason why it's not symmetrical) and it provides a decent, but heavy, gaming experience. It's far better for playing anywhere that's not a chair+desk setup than having to rely on the case to keep it vertical.
That's all, I hope you like it and that it inspires some madness in other people
Well, I guess I'm going to buy some Lego today...
Pretty cool.

Thanks!
Since the official Nokia 8 covers still aren't available anywhere..
I made a custom cover, printed it and now optimized it further.
The cover is available in 3D-Printable STL format.

no scanner. just a caliper.
to create the 3d-models of the phone and cover, i used solidworks 2017.
i printed it with a objet 30 pro and the material was verowhite.
will print it in veroclear too and show pictures later.
material thickness i used 1.4mm (i can adjust this if needed for other printers).
if someone else prints it with different printers, please show pictures and report about stability.
I like the cover. How did you make a physical copy of it? xD
Well this means u can even customized other stuff such as maybe adding graphics or writing names?
Pardon me cause i have no idea how u do what u did xD
Thanks for that.. I'm going to print it now on an Anet A8 I'll let you know how it comes out..
Ill probably try PLA and some cheap TPU I have.
Awesome, thanks for the sharing, shall try the print on an M3D micro and see how it goes.
Hey, first of all thanks for a awesome cover model.
Too bad it is reeeeeally painful to print. :crying:
My printer is now starting to print it for the sixth time. So far this one is the best try (now at 7%).
I am printing it on its back to get nice flat surface on the outside without need for any support (so I hope).
I couldn't get the print start nicely for the first five prints and I thought it was because my filament was not suitable for any reason or the setting didn't were off. I am printing with eSun Luminous GreenPLA.
I tinkered with speeds and stuff and managed to get that first layer to stick really nice. But once it started to do second layer prints started to string and did not stick.
That's when I started to take a better look at the model itself after slicing. And I found the problem, after the first layer (note that I am printing at 0.15mm layer height) second layer starts printing its exterior lines on basicly nothing and this goes for first 0.45mm. After that the model is pretty much fine and does print on last layer, but I still see some similar problems, but I think it should still work.
To solve this problem I tried and cut first 0.45mm from the model leaving back thickness still somewhere around 1.5mm or so. It should work.
Now printer is doing its job steadily and so far so good, 10% done.
Ill post again when I know how this works
