Hi,
Can anyone here tell me which cardboard works fine with Nexus 6P? Actually I have a OnePlus 2 Cardboard with me, but it doesn't work well with Nexus 6P. Many things doesn't work, pictures isn't prominent, sound is cracking... lot of issues. So, if anyone can tell me which cardboard will work with Nexus 6P, it will be really great. Also I'm from India so a Amazon.in link or similar would be really nice.
I was just coming on here to ask the same thing. I have the original cardboard and the 6P just doesn't fit.

The View Master fits perfectly. It's $25 on Amazon.com and 4,444 on amazon.in.

The View Master one is great just keep in mind that the 6P just barely fit in it so you will be taking any cases off to use it.
I snagged a Star Wars cardboard from a Verizon store and it fits well with my 6p and Spek Candy She'll Grip case.

get the viewmaster thingy but from Amazon US, cheaper than Amazon India. Refund on import duty almost a given.
The version two cardboard was made for bigger phones (Nexus 6 among others). Anyways here you can view a few: https://www.google.com/get/cardboard/get-cardboard/
Though with the new Cardboard Camera app the next generation of cardboard boxes would ideally have a whole for a camera or a piece cut out at the top
You want one with a headstrap. And you'll be totally sold on the experience by not having to hold it to your face. It's amazing how effective it works. The front facing speakers are key here. I can take about 30 minutes of wearing it before starting to feel weird. Then it takes some time to get reacquainted back with the real world because your vestibular system is out of wack.
I got this one:
http://www.unofficialcardboard.com/products/2-0-plus?variant=7602772993
The only downside is that with the Spigen Rugged Armor case, the sticky pad doesn't adhere to the back well. But it's not a problem. The phone won't be sliding out of the side. Put something soft in the nose rest for more comfort. The 6p is a heavy thing to be held up by the bridge of your nose!
Edit: For those new to this, charge the phone beforehand. The VR apps are using a lot of the phone's capabilities.
I bought the viewmaster vr but I returned it because it is annoying to have to remove my phone case to make it fit and even then, it's not easy to get my large phone between the clamps.
Now I'm thinking of IAMCARDBOARD's new DSVCR item:

I did have some concern with the strap pressing on the side buttons, but I think if the buttons are kept to the top, the strap won't touch them. But for phones with buttons on both sides, then it would be an issue.

Google does not allow head straps, so no "certified" devices will have one.
https://static.googleusercontent.com/media/www.google.com/en//get/cardboard/downloads/wwgc_best_practices.pdf
Parts to avoid
Do not include a headstrap with your viewer. When the user holds the Cardboard with their
hands against the face, their head rotation speed is limited by the torso rotational speed
(which is much slower than the neck rotational speed). This reduces the chance of “VR
sickness” caused by rendering/IMU latency and increases the immersiveness in VR.
I've had the shinecon for about a month now. Love it, although it won't accommodate a case. I have s review thread somewhere here

After I got my N4 I started looking for 2 things: a case and a car dock, the case eventually came to be a Rearth Ringke SLIM case which has some minor issues but overall is a great case. As for the dock I was looking for something that would allow me to use the phone with the case so I tried several (including a couple of GPS holders that just didn't work). Eventually found this car dock:
http://www.amazon.com/Aduro-Universal-Dashboard-Windshield-Motorola/dp/B008ALV0V4
The Aduro U-GRIP, for me it is a great product for 3 main reasons:
- Very small footprint, you don't have a snake-like tube sticking out of the windshield with a base to hold the phone, this dock is really well thought out from a design standpoint.
- It grips the phone without fear, this thing is not going to drop your phone, not ever, you can plug the charger and the phone won't even move or swivel. Potholes? pff, this thing eats potholes for breakfast!
- Even though the grip is quite strong it can still be used single handed, you don't have to use 2 hands to open the grip and place the phone or to take it out.
I've been using it for a couple of weeks now and have no complaints whatsoever, I thought I'd share my experience and point of view, I know many want a non-intrusive car dock and I think this is one that can meet such demand and add a lot of value at the same time.
And because it is basically a grip-type of dock you can use it with your case and with any phone for that matter (within limits) which means my wife can use it with her Galaxy S3 (also with the case) without a problem!
For the price I think this is a great buy.
I own it too. It is definitely the best car mount out there. Excellent built quality and very strong grip.
I just ordered one last week and it arrived yesterday. Love it! To ease one-handed inserting of the nexus I stuck a dime in between the arms while they were spread apart. Super easy to insert the phone now and its still grips like a mudda.

Does this fit with a bumper? Also it supports charging/car mode?
It does fit with a bumper (any bumper!) and the dock does not charge the phone but it won't obstruct the connection to charge it.

Yep they are OK. But I really don't like the fiddling with grip things.
A bit cheaper and simpler, I got one of these for my Desire HD and it works fine with the Nexus 4 too.

I have it attached to a standard car vent mount and it is rock solid. I was always a bit dubious about how well they would hold a phone but it just does. I got one for my Galaxy tab and it holds that too, so I have absolutely no worries about the phone coming adrift.
Tetrax holders
Check out the Tetrax Xway, Fixway, Fix products. I have the Xway installed and it works great. They also make others for different applications.
Can't post a url but you can find reviews on Youtube, Amazon, etc.

The Mountek works well for me. Very well built, quick delivery and the phone can be inserted with one hand.
I've only had my N4 since December, but have accumulated a few random accessories along the way...well not as much as some folks here :silly:. This is mainly going to be a small collection of photos I took of the pouch made by a nice artisan who is also on Etsy by the name of Begoos and can make custom size cases in various materials to fit what you want. (I won't link to her, but if this interests you, she can easily be found if you search for "Nexus 4" on Etsy). I found out recently this pouch was mentioned in the thread about pouches that fit the bumper so I think some of you know about it or have it or even posted a review of it. I know everyone doesn't use pouches, but I was just so impressed with this pouch and the bumper after waiting for like two months for it to come back in stock at the US Play Store.

This hand-made pouch has a magnetic type closure/flap, which I really like over the drawstring type. This pouch's centered flap position and position of the N4's headphone jack mesh pretty well in usage. Even a large headphone adapter can fit without any conflict from the flap.
This is now closed:
A naked N4 fits very well, and the "cushion" material inside makes it kind of like a small amount of padding. So, I think it is pretty decent for a small amount of protection (well, I can only assume...).
A bumper-equipped N4 slides in and out of the pouch without any hassle. And fits inside like it was made for it.
All I remember telling her through Etsy was the bumper dimensions so I believe it was made slightly wider than her usual N4 sized pouch. It took about two weeks from her in Latvia to me in the US (back in early January), but the wait was well worth it! Personally, this is definitely just as premium feeling and a "feel good" buy as the LG Bumper IMHO. Even if you don't plan on using this daily, it's one of those nice to have items if you plan on keeping your N4 for a long time like me. I hope this was helpful.
cool, nice clean pictures, looks like you love your nexus a lot

Thanks! The pouch looks nice. I'm thinking of getting one
Very impressed with the OP's collection!
I also bought a case from Linda with a small logo drawn . Very quick turnaround, and very personalised purchasing experience. Shipping took 2 weeks to Australia. Case is well constructed as described by OP, and she has a variety of fabrics and colours available to personalise your case. Here's a pic of mine. Loving my N4 and case to bits!
I have to say she did a SPECTACULAR job with your custom N7 logo sleeve! :highfive: GJ Linda!
Wow, very nice looking sleeve. I had not really considered one until seeing your pictures. Seeing as how I am trying to live without a screen protector, this may be a wise investment.
edit: I just messaged asking if she could do a custom order for me: one with a pocket on the back for credit cards/etc., similar to the ones she has on some of the nexus 7/iPad mini sleeves. It would be great to be able to leave the wallet behind some nights.
I'm liking the big lebowski and OP's sleeve

Before you go and buy the White KLD "Smart wake Cover on ebay you may want to read this.
Hi guys
So i bought the KLD and waited almost a month for this to be delivered.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/KLD-Smart-W...Cell_Phone_PDA_Cases&var=&hash=item19dbff2bbc
Ill be honest its not the worst case in the world but far from how nice it seems in the pictures. The build quality is "ok", it seems to offer decent protection and it has access to everything including the SD card and SIM. The stand seems to work ok too
Now for the bad.
Its CLEARLY not white. Check the pics I have put up next to my white phone case and the white N5100 Its more of a cream or beige . Also it doesnt have Smart auto wake like advertised. Not too worried about this as i know magnets are supposed to be bad for your device or something. The coating that is holding the flap on thats been applied to the plastic back cover has not been put on well. Looks quite cheap and old. The case comes really close to the S Pen so me with very short finger nails, its really hard to access it and trying to press the volume and power button is a real mission. The flap covering the screen moves around a bit too I wouldnt recommend this case to anyone really. I wont be using it for long, waiting for Samsung to get the original book cases in. I would give this case a 3 out of 10

The 360 Rotating Case with auto sleep is much the same as this from amazon
http://www.amazon.com/Fintie-Degree...9&sr=8-7&keywords=galaxy+note+8+case+rotating
The case isnt too bad, you have better access to your S Pen however u dont have access to your SD and SIM slot. The front flap is quite thick so its adds a bit of bulk to the device and a bit of weight too. Its really easy to rotate the device when its in the case so when u are using it in landscape mode it can move around really easy. It seems to add quite a bit of protection to the device and the auto sleep wake feature works even if you close it when your device is upside down. The viewing mode in portrait is a lot more slanted than in landscape and is not as stable but its seems to hold it ok. You can also use the strap used to keep the flap closed as a hand strap. I would give this case a 6 out of ten.
Shout if you want any more pics or info.
I have the samsung book cover and I hate it. Its cheaply made and I dont like the positions it allows me to hold the device in. Also, it takes a minimalist approach and basically just clips on the corners of the device. For $50 I expected more.
I recently ordered this off amazon and like it much better. Many more colors to choose from and the pen is easily accessible. It may only cost and $8 and some change but its worth atleast double that. I also got a screen protector from moko with good quality as well.

Does the samsung book cover have magnets that keep the flap closed if held upside down?
No, and that is just another reason to hate it. It does have the sleep! Wake function but because its not secured by anything while you carry it or heck when the wind blows to hard the lid can move which wakes the device. The one I listed above has a magnet built into the plastic lip and a small metal piece on the cover that secures it in place. It is secure and doesnt come in contact with the screen so it wont damage it.

Should you get a case for the LG Nexus 4?
Advantages of having a nexus 4 case
-(obviously) Protection for your phone
-Can include a stand so you wont need to hold it all the time
-Extra grip
-Can make your phone unique
-Sturdy hardware buttons to prevent accidental pressing(Varies throughout designs)
-Prevents it from getting dirty
Advantages of not having a case
-Glitter Glass shows(Shows alot better than transparent cases)
-Easier to swipe from the edge of the screen (Cases pop up at screen edges)
-Logos are more noticeable
-Looks better
-The smooth texture(Unless you want grip instead)
Cases give you grip/protection/.(recommended just in case something happens)
If your careful with your phone and like the special design then you probably wont be needing one covering your nexus.So in the end, its just protection VS looks.Press thanks if you made a decision on whether or not you want to use a case!
I think you missed the fact where THE WHOLE PHONE IS MADE OF GLASS

Case vs No Case?
I would go with case. My phone took a dive off my car after I set it there for literally 3 seconds (vehicle was not in motion at all). It made one small crack on the right hand side. Not a big deal right? Wrong. The digitizer failed on about 25% of the surface area right in the middle of the screen. In plain english that means no touch response on the screen, originating from the crack and extending the full width of the screen. This makes it difficult to text as it knocks out the T key in portrait keyboards and the message send button. In landscape it's also difficult. While a cracked screen may not seem like a big deal, it does suck when you have to drop ~$80 for a new digitizer/LCD.
The phone looks beautiful without the case, but it's not enough to justify the risk.
I've done both ways. Mine is currently naked... But it makes me a little nervous. Just can't find a case that I'm really happy with.

Look at your last phone. If its a mess and you're a clumsy git... get a case. If your old phone shows few signs of use then forgo the case.

Some time ago I got one of these cases from eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/BLACK-CLEAR...G-GOOGLE-NEXUS-4-E960-ACCESSORY-/350692488954
I've been really happy with it. It's decently slim, seems like it provides pretty good protection, and with the translucent back, you can still see the original back of the phone (or dbrand skin in my case). It's very inexpensive, and the only downside I've found is that it makes the power button a bit stiff. Hasn't at all been a deal killer for me, though.
I use the OEM bumper case. Just yesterday I dropped my phone from waist height (about 3 feet) onto a tile floor and except for a few faint marks on the silver trim along the top of the bumper (that side hit the tile head on) no issues. Everyone who saw it was amazed I wasn't left with a cracked screen.

Guys I think we should thank davanator22 for this he has brought up a very good discussion.
Hi,
here's a short review of the Noreve Tradition B Case for the Note 8. It's my first review, so don't judge too hard .
I've bought the Noreve case at it is genuine leather, offers two pockets for business cards / credit cards and a larger pocket for document(s).
It's a bit on the expensive side, I paid 79.90 Euro as I wanted the"Sable Vintage" Leather instead of the standard black Perpetuelle which costs 69.90 Euro.
Due to this the case was delivered three weeks after ordering (the standard version was on stock).
It came with a nice box containing the case packaged in a red bag:

}
The case itself was looking beautiful, with a nice smell of leather:
The inside is made of leather as well with the mentioned pockets on the cover:
The Note 8 fits in nicely, the case holds it very firmly. All ports and buttons are accessible, even the SIM slot and the SD Card:
On the back you can see the hole for the camera and a small stand to stand up the device in landscape position:
The stand is locked with a small button so it won't open by accident:
It stands a lot more upright than with Samsung's book cover:
The only thing I am missing is a holder for a larger S-Pen as I prefer it over the small integrated one. I got around it by attaching it to the leather hinge on the side:
Not sure how stable this is on the long run but it works for now.
Conclusion
I am very happy with this case,it's well worth the money in my opinion. It's perfectly made, the leather is of very good quality. It adds a bit of weight to the device though (about 230g), but I can live with that. One thing to mention is that it does not powers off the note when closing it, I take this as a pro as there are discussions whether the magnets can harm the S-Pen accuracy, but it's worth noting.
I purchased the same exact Sable Vintage case. Yes it is expensive but I wanted to add some class to my tablet (which I feel it does). I am very satisfied with this purchase. I love the smell and feel of it. It is of excellent quality and I feel it will last as long as my tablet does (which I plan on using for a long time without upgrading to the latest and greatest based on the price of this case alone, lol). I get many head turns and questions about the case and if I can get them one. But I don't really respond because most people have an adverse reaction to the price of it. But I feel that it adds value to the tablet. So much so that I purchased a Noreve case for my wife's Note 10.1 (however for some reason hers does not fit as nicely as the Note 8 does)
Nice, love real leather.
On a side note, where did you get that larger stylus?
That's the Samsung Bluetooth S-Pen. It was on sale at Amazon and I was looking for a bigger pen anyway. It's really good for writing and the bluetoth works ok - though it looks a bit dumb if you really use it to make phone calls. But still better than holding the Note to your ear...
