UPDATE 4/4/11
For those of you interested in a dock from the last run, my stock was bought out by a local company.
I started to make another run, and I broke my back in an accident at work, yes I can still walk. 2 split discs, 1 herniated, 2 bulging, 1 vertibre broken. So getting in the shop was difficult to say the least, first surgery to relieve pain was a failure.
I do feel a little better, have an appointment for more surgery today, however pointis, these docks.
Id like to get back in the shop and start back up, wife has been so nice as to start replacing older equipment with new stuff while I have been down, sky is the limit now, I want a new dock for myself now, so the motivation to get in there even if it's to make one for myself, is pretty high.
Just thought i'd update, let anyone interested know what was/is going on. Emailing me is the best option sometimes.
Jim
UPDATE 2-14-2011
Damn......
I sold all 22 docks to one local company today.
So, I started on some new ones.
What ill wrap up this week are...
1 solid Mahogany dock
1 solid Walnut dock
1 Purpleheart and white oak dock.
I am waiting on a shipment of wood this week, then can get some other types out.
Probably going to start doing limited runs, say, ill only make 2-3 black walnut docks, or 1-2 ash and mahogany docks, and that will be the only time I offer said combo. Then ill move on to another design, or combo of exotic and domestic woods. I have alot of Japanese Cedar coming this week, but will only make a few.
Since this first run sold out, if you want to place an order, you can contact me via email. Email is the best way.
Price of docks are 40.00 + 11.00 s/h, I accept PayPal, and if needed in event you're not old enough for PayPal, you can send me a money order.
I will take orders, typical domestic and exotic woods will run the regular 40.00, however if you have a request for a certain type of wood and it is really exspensive, I will have to add a surcharge for that. I don't expect that unless you want a dock made from say....some obscure German wood.
Contact me at,
Jim

Here is a pic of the 3 I will have done by weeks end, first come first serve on these, ill post pics by this weekend of them completed if not presold.
Hey guys, thanks for showing the interest, I wouldn't have much to do in the shop if it wasn't for these docks for the DX, since I got a Galaxy Tab this weekend, you better believe I will make one for that.

Update 11/6
After not having anytime to work on more Docks, I had Time to Make one for my Wife Yesterday.
I got my Hands on some Japanese Cedar a week ago, and she wanted one made from Cedar, so, here it is, getting the 4th coat of Poly this morning...
I call it "The Blonde" I have some of that Cedar with Red and Blonde in it.
Also got some leather for it...
Update, 10/22
Well, went to solid Oak, and a Poly coat, made it not for me, but a member here.
Here are some pics, I have not attached the fabric, but did set the various types I have onto the dock.
Bonus Pics,
If you want to know more, shoot me an email, oldmacnut at g mail dot com
Here is the final,
It was real hard to match a 60 year old dresser, but for my first time staining I know my wife likes it. I did learn alot, now to make one for me but with the leather back instead of fabric.
Awesome job man. Did you build a magnet it into it for the desktop dock app?
No I did not embedd a magnet. Wife and I like the option to turn the deskclock on or off. Sometimes I just want to place mine in for texting or something else, but i have messed around with magnets.
I should have another one done by the weekend, I want one where the Dx sits level, so I am working on a curved back to match the contour of the phone, and I am also working on a vertical version as well. Will I sell any? sure if there are enough to people to justify my time spent. takes some time to make each one, but then again that is the very first one i did for the Dx. The Incredible dock....well I got like 12 of those things floating around somewhere.
1 Person out of 227 had something to say?, wow, guess I wont be posting the other stuff then.
Don't let the lack of comments get you down - they were so impressed they couldn't think of anything to say!
I stumbled across your docks today (I also saw the one you made for an Incredible) and I have to say, they look really great.
I'd love to see some more pics with the phones actually in them!
Have you recieved any word from prospective buyers? I'd REALLY like to purchase one for myself. If there isn't enough demand, then i'd be willing to pay a little more...
Edit: I just went back and looked again at the docks you made for the Incredible. They look even better than I remembered! If you begin to sell these, count me in for 2.
...Please post some more pics!
That looks very cool! Great job.
Very nice work. I love mixing nature with technology and this is a great example. The color of the hardwood looks like it meshes well with the X.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Awesome work Oldmacnut! Would you mind posting templates for the pieces, i'l love to try and replicate your design?
I sure would buy one for my DX if you start selling them.
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
very good work indeed. Dont take this personal but I want to buy the Motorola Dock so bad. I really dont mind paying 45 dollars for it, its nice
that's great work. i'd love to see some in use pics too. would definitely be interested if i decide to go with a droid x
I would like to puchase one solid wood dock for my droid x please
Sent from my DROIDX using XDA App
Ditto...in a cherry finish please Also would need to imbed the magnets for the dock though Id pay upwards of 40 bucks for it too...
Just noticed this thread. Wow, this is nice! I'll buy one once you start selling them.
Wow, Ok. Did not check this thread.
Ok to answer a few questions.....
Sorry I wont post the templates.
Each dock take about a week.
Each Dock is different, as each one is done by hand, and sometimes I sand a little different
I have a new "play" on this dock
Yes I will make them for people.
Here are some pics of the 2nd revision.... Nevermind that I totally screwed up the clear coat....lol
These 2 docks...I made cause I was bored, If you are indeed interested in one, shoot me an email, my oldmacnut at g mail
Ok, so since there seems to be some interest, Wife will be going to Home Depot tomorrow to pick up some wood. Since Home Depot does not carry any Cherry that I would bother to use, Ill make 4 of her style, and 4 of my style for starters.
Ill update tuesday night on progress and how long it will be, could just knock them all out this week. Sorry I have been out of town since thursday for a wedding.
Updated OP with new pics of the newest version, glossy stained Oak.

hmmmm...looks like mine!
Nice idea! Here's a thought: you could set a magnet in your dock too so the phone would bring up the dock app. A bit of router work to make the magnet flush would be pretty much all you need.

First off let me state that, yes, sorry, another car dock thread, but i feel that i have a really damn good setup that i haven't seen anyone post pictures or videos of yet(sorry if i missed one :x). Secondly, sorry for the long length, I drone on sometimes, but at least it isn't too ridiculously long.
But, to business, i bought the M2 car mount, and a cheapo case off of ebay, and must i say, i am QUITE impressed with my setup, turned out WAY better than my expectations. Works perfect, spent just over ten dollars on both items(case case with a really good screen protector as well!), overall win! It spins like a charm, holds up great, everything is amazing with it. The little adhesive circle is literally just a tiny bit bigger than a penny, slightly rounder and just as thick, barely noticable when you hold it in case you wish to use the case day to day. Adhesive strips work good both on this and in the car, extremely strong! Case covers camera lens which is a HUGE plus, great buy links will be below the pictures! Lo and behold, the video:
Lo and behold, the video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HYJ6mfyVD-g

Have fun!
Nice!
I picked up a few of those m2 mounts as well, they're really nice.
I've got mine mounted a little lower, sorta inbetween radio and climate controls, but I'm tempted to move it to the top for the in car video capability.
And nice find on that case! Looks like the closest one to a case-mate barely there yet. I've been waiting for one of those, but they've been out of stock forever.
The previous ebay ones had the big oval hole cutout for the flash camera and speaker all in one opening which I didnt like. May just have to jump on these ones.
Nice find, and lookin good.

Next long trip i take, i'm probably going to record the entire trip and turn it in to a time lapse, would probably do one of my hopeful future trip from chicago to pheonix as well, that would be crazy! Also, I've been using the case for a bit now, and i must say, i love it, i would recommend it to you 100% man.
Ordered 2 black and 2 white cases. What will I do with 4 cases you ask. I have no clue. lol
I figure I can have the dot from the m2 mount on a black and white, and then have two naked cases as well. shoot for 3.99 shipped from hong kong.. why not!
I bit the bullet and bought the mount. Who knows when Sprint will be selling a specific EVO CarDock..
Going on cross country trip next month and need it.
I have the same mount but a clear case. The clear case does not need to be sanded.
I put the lock tab to the left, so that way I never have to worry about the lock tab. It has never fallen off. This makes it a lot easier to rotate the phone.
I also tightened down the mount so that it doesn't pivot at all, makes it much much easier getting it on and off of the mount.
Question, how solid is the mount? Does it handle the road vibrations well? My biggest complaint from most mounts is they don't absorb the vibrations thus watching a movie (for example) would be extremely difficult.
Thanks in advance!
I have no problem putting mine in anymore, it was simply because that was literally the like...second time i had tried it. But yeah, i ended up tightening it up really good, never moves an inch anymore(jiggles a LITTLE when I hit BIG potholes, otherwise good). I would say if you have really crappy shocks in your car, it might jiggle a bit, but my car has pretty crappy shocks and it isn't really bad enough to the point that it annoys me at all.if you don't want any jiggling, you have to lock that thing down hard.
just so you guys know...
i bought a cheap case (1 penny), a cheap car charger ( 3 pennies) and an inexpensive mount (9 dollars), with 5 dollars shipping for all three items (total, not separate), from different retailers, on amazon day before yesterday.
grand total? less than 16 bucks for all three.
should be here in a few days. will let you guys know how it fairs
Got to love how cheap this crap is, think i got mine for a total of(including the extra batters/wall charger) 24 bucks, pretty damn good deals considering all of the stuff i got was pretty good quality!
Thanks "Tickle My Elmo"
Just installed the car Mount and it works perfectly. I have a NAVI in my Honda Ridgeline so my main purpose is to use it to listen to SLACKER when I go cross country next month.
Thanks again..
I just jumped on this... I plan on making some type of "snap in" with a Seido case.
I went ahead and bought the M2 and I also purchased the case from Deal Extreme http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40745 ... If the suction mount doesn't work well (Honda Element), might add double sided tape and mount to my dash tray where the aux input is... If I'm not satisfied going to use the snap on from suction mount and mount the disc from the M2 to it.
So I bought the case linked here and recieved a completely different case 1 month later. I wanted this case because it looks exactly like the case-mate barely there. What I got was a two piece case with a piece that covers the back and a front piece that sandwiches the phone....not very happy at all.
Anybody have a recommendation? Right now I go for a run with my ipod shuffle (the one with a clip) and a stopwatch and when I'm done I check my distance on google maps. I don't want to spend the money on a fancy gps watch so I'd love to use my phone to take the place of the three things I use now.
I would like one that is going to give the phone some protection from sweat and the elements and preferably be able to use the screen while the phone is in the band.
Edit 9/24/10: Got my armband from here http://cgi.ebay.com/C6-Sports-Armba...178137?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item1c152a4d59 yesterday in the mail and ran with it today for the first time. For $7 it's not bad. I can press the power button through the material and use the screen though it's awkward to do so on my arm. I can't really get the volume buttons to work very well though. Biggest problem was the GPS, mine works fine if I'm in a car moving quickly but at running speeds it drifts around pretty bad. I ran 5.5 miles and My Tracks says I did 6.8 and gained 19k feet of elevation, lol. I'm going to try something meant for running and see if works any better.
Anyway the band itself is pretty much awesome for what I paid but if I saw one made for the vibrant that I could use the buttons through easier I'd probably get one.
maybe something like this
http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-for-Samsung-Galaxy-S-captivate-vibrant-fascinate-LAB-002.htm
Offtopic: what part of the 801 are you from?
Pretty much. You used that? I'd love to know if someone had tried one before I buy but if not I'll get one and report back.
I live near trolley square.
Edit: where is k town? Kaysville? Kearns?
no i havent used it....that was one of the better ones that i could find that you described.
Yeah I live by Jordan Landing on the Kearns side.
Yeah from what I've seen that looks pretty good. If I don't get any recommendations I'll probably pick that up tomorrow.

Tried this..... not bad but not great.
I have a generic one and the biggest problem I have is unlocking the phone to do anything with it. My G1 was super easy since it was on the front, but since its on the hard its rather hard to push and use.
I have the belkin armband for my ipod touch. Check it out, if its something your interested in I'll run out to my truck and grab it and see how it fits and let you know.
Found thise while trolling ebay for deals.

That would be cool. First thing I thought was to try that but I stopped in at an apple store and the only armbands they had were for nanos so I couldn't try it. Don't see why that wouldn't work........

........which is why this one is being sold as a Vibrant case. If you look at the pic it shows an iphone in the case. It's cheap though so that is a bonus.
Ok no problem, I'm going to run out and burn one and grab it and see how it fits. Will bum someone elses phone to snap some pics for you so keep an eye out.
I got one from KMART. cheap....effective. It is made for the IPOD but I have run with it a lot using the sweetest training app out there....Endomondo and I have never had any problems with it even slipping loose at all.
Well it didn't go so well. While outside I put my vibrant into the armband case and it fit, although I did have to stretch the silicon case a bit as the size difference was greater then I had thought it would be. But it did fit. So I brought it inside and removed it to take photos. Then put it back in and the case ripped. Now I think this may or may not be a belkin case, I can not remember, but I did get it at walmart. Its worth looking into but be aware that constant removing and reinstalling will shorten the life. I have had this thing for a couple years and it has seen alot of abuse at the gym, while running, and while doing yard work so I'm sure it was already near the end of its life anyways. The pic is crappy cause I was taking it with the forward facing camera on a android tablet I'm playing with.

Oh that sucks man. Didn't want you to have to bust your stuff Thanks for checking though. I am going to order the other one off ebay and see if it works.
Meh, Im not worried about it. I've gotton my moneys worth out of it and then some. Just let us know how that one you ordered works out since it appears I am now in the market for a new arm band.

Lol. It's ordered so it should be here in a few days and I'll let you know what I think.
How are you guys addressing the fact that the lock button is on the side of the phone? Meaning how are you accessing it to start, stop and pause your work outs if the screen is off?
Well on the ipod one I jacked up, the volume rocker and power could be activated through the stretched silicon sides. Too bad it didn't work out.

Does anyone know if there are any credit card cases for our phone? I was looking for something along the lines of the casemate ones that the iphone has:
http://www.case-mate.com/iPhone-4-Cases/Case-Mate-iPhone-4-ID-Credit-Card-Cases.asp
I have tried looking on google and xda and haven't found anything yet.
Any help would be appreciated!
Hey, sorry I can't help much, but if no one can find one, this would be a great time for me to make one up using CAD, I'll keep in touch maby I can make something up.
Sent from my netarchy_toast, froyo beast of a machine evo!
That would be awesome!
I would definitely order one, it seems so practical to only go happy hour with my phone, ID, and credit card.
Obostore.com sells a leather case that does this. Someone reviewed it on anther forum and said the cut outs didn't line up perfect but didn't get in the way either. Will only hold a few credit cards but I think that is plenty. I ordered one over a week ago and it should be arriving any day now. I'll do a review on it with pics when it arrives if you guys want. Oh, it is less than $10 shipped!!
Swyped from my supercharged Evo
That would be great! I can't wait to see your review!
I'm not a big fan of leather... but we'll see. I want to keep it slim and grippy. Right now I have a clear TPU case on my naked EVO. (no battery cover)

I'm also looking forward to the pictures.
Thanks.
Any updates on the review for this case?
Sent from my . Evo 4G using XDA App
I wish man!! Obostore is taking forever to get it to me. I ordered a 2000mah Andida battery from them about 5 days before this case and I've had it for around 2 weeks now. If it doesnt arrive in the mail today (12:30 pm eastern time at the latest) then I will call them or email them and see what the deal is. I am VERY anxious to get this case!!
EDIT: OK, I just looked at my account on Obostore's website and I actually ordered the case 11 days after battery. The case was ordered on the 13th, so it has been 13 days now. I got a good feeling that today is the day. Keeping my fingers crossed.....
OK, just talked to my fiance and the case came in the mail today!! Finally, cant wait to get home and check it out. I told her to open it when she said that I had a package come in the mail today. Her comment was that it looked nice and smelled like real leather. So, we'll see. Pics and my review will be here in this thread tonight before 12 Eastern time.
I cant wait for the review, this is the kind of case that i have been wanting to buy ever since i saw a similair case that my friend had for his iPhone
Nice case, but for some reason I can't stop thinking about the EVO vs. IPhone video.."does it come with a case?"
Ok guys. Went out for a bit when I got off so I got in later than expected. My phone is in the case now and I'm using it to post this. Pictures are uploading now. Just want to use it and play with it a bit to give you guys a fair first impression. So far though......Loving it!!
Swyped from my supercharged Evo!
Just realized how LONG this is..sorry
Well, in just before midnight . OK, so after using this for a couple hours I really do like it. The leather seems like a good quality, it does smell and feel real although I know there are some good fake/synthetics out there, so I really dont know and dont want to give you all false information. So I will just say that the "material" is nice and the stitching is well done on it as well. All of the cutouts, corners, and pockets are great. The Evo fits in it nice and snug, but not too tight where I thought it would scratch the phone. I held it upside down by the credit card side and shook the case and my Evo didnt even offer to slide out . You can see in the pics that my Zagg screen protector is peeling up on the bottom right hand corner and it did pull on that, but everything does as it has been this way for a few days now (just waiting on my replacement from Zagg which is in the mail). You have 2 slots for cards or I.D. on the right side (which are snug) and a compartment behind those where I will put cash(some in the pics for visual purposes, cash slides in there and is out of sight). Also have 2 slots for memory cards. A SD card and a Micro SD card fit in them perfect (as seen in pics). I was worried that the Micro SD would fall out, but actually I had to take my TP2 stylus and push it out. Not because it squeezed it super tight, but due to the design as there is a recessed area for the cards to keep them in place...Nice! In the center there is an area for a stylus or I guess a small ink pen. I actually may add another small hole and insert a lanyard in that area. The clasp looks like a snap button but is magnetic and latches very tight. Easy for you to open but it isnt going to open on accident thats for sure. You have access to volume, power, 3.5mm jack, charging port and HDMI port. Rear camera, leds, and speaker cutouts are very nice and lined up perfect!! Tested a few pics and the case did not interfere at all. Front facing camera is slightly interferred by the case. Also, on a phone call...the case blocks the proximity sensor so the screen stays off. I actually like that, and if you need to access the keypad in call, slide the phone up just slightly and the screen comes on.
Overall, I love it and I think it is unbeatable for $11.99 shipped!! I did not buy this for everyday use but for when I'm going out and want to keep my pockets light. I can carry this instead of my phone and a wallet. I think though that I am going to end up using this much more than I had originally anticipated. I'll let the pics speak for themselves in the next post.

If any one wants pics of something else or from another angle or if you have any questions, then just ask me. I think that after seeing the pictures that you all will agree that this is a really good deal for $11.99 shipped!! Like I said before, I bought it just to use occasionaly...BUT, I like it so much that it will be getting used a LOT more than I had anticipated!! Here is the link to it for any one just joining in - http://www.obostore.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=113 (expect a couple weeks for delivery)
Thanks for the review!
I had no idea the case was that thick... I was looking for something along the lines of the case-mate cases for the iphones. Its a big hassle to get the phone in my pocket as it is, adding such a buff case won't make it any easier.
Maybe, I'll have to custom make one or something...
Too bad there's no belt clip and/or loop.
I've been carrying it the last couple days to get a real feel for it and just because I like it so much. Its been a real pleasure to use and its been nice to leave my wallet behind.
The size is far from an issue for me, as thats what I expected from a case that would hold SO much. Also, I am used to an extended battery and door on my phone with a tpu case, so this is not much bigger really. It drops right in my back pocket without issue. My front pocket (uniform) is where I normally carry my phone, even with the extended battery and tpu case; but it will not fit while in this case. Overall I am very pleased, and it actually surpassed my expectations in function and quality. Hope this all helps some of you decide to either buy, our not buy this case.

damn that holds alot. I need a wallet, heh. great idea for a new one.
I got one question.... Where did you get the wallpaper with all of those little droids??????
This is yet another awesome case from pyroskins guys. I like it better than the popular clip case. Which I never thought would happen. Build quality is excellent. Usability is great. It feels really strong and durable. Check out the video....

Dear "Greg":
Please send me one of your cases. I promise to spam every GT10 website with gushing reviews. I PROMISE TO TITLE EVERY POST WITH CAPS-LOCK ON, and I will use a minimum of 14 exclamation points!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I will also create video reviews with weird little glitches that make anyone watching feel like having a seizure.
Just kidding. Couldn't help myself
BTW- love the custom firmware Task650. Best one I've used, especially when paired with pershoot's kernel.
LOL...

+1 to that, when they ran out of the clip case and were waiting to get new ones in, he made sure mine got shipped asap so I could receive it before I left the country. Looks like I've got another case to purchase lol.
@Pyro,
If you read this, i have a question for you. What are the chances of you having any say in the design process of these cases? I would love to get a hybrid clip/360 version that doesn't need that elastic band to stay closed. I am gonna get the new one anyways, but I was just wondering.
Thanks for the awesome cases
Has anyone elase gotten this case? Mine is still in flight, but just wondering how others are getting on with theirs.

Omg I should just order this
;;
Just ordered . 2 - 5 weeks ahaha luckily I'm not in a rush for it.
I got this case before going to europe. Its been 2 weeks so far and its been pretty good. The only issue i have is that the groove farthest from the binding doesnt hold the tab up. My tab always falls down immediatley even on a flat even surface.

Questions like this, feel free to send me an email or PM. I've been asked not to actively talk about the cases on the forums ... so I stick to lurking here and commenting in the general and Q&A threads.
email is pyroskins at gmail
But ya, I can do anything development wise ... I just have to order a qty of 500 at a time.

The groove closest to the binding works for landscape and portrait modes. It happens to be the groove i want to use most of the time so it is acceptable to me
Pyro ships fast! I ordered the 360 case last Monday by personal check and in today's (sat) mail was the case. Been playing around with it and I must say that it is a solid case. I researched for a long time and Tasks video review convinced me. I bought the tab for its slim design and weight compared to other tegra 2 tablets. The case feels very light before you put the tab in it. IMO even with the case on it, I believe it is still lighter than my wife's ipad 1 or my friends xoom. I love that you can charge it with the case on it. I have three cats that think my computer desk is a good place to take a nap. Now I will never have to worry again. Price is amazing. The case and shipping to NY was under $24. I wasn't ever going to get a case for my tab, liked the feel and weight, but I had a couple close calls carrying it or just holding it under my arm if I had other things to carry. Overall, very satisfied!
As far as tab not staying in farthest groove, if you use the stretchy band that holds the case closed for travelling and just slide it up over the bottom lip of the case it should hold it in place in that last groove. Works for me anyways.

Sadly, for me it has not arrived yet. I'm going to see how long this takes. But so you know.. I am in Toronto Canada.. so it'll be a little longer with customs and stuff
Just received the 360 yesterday. I couldnt be happier... the case is extremely well made. The tab stays up in every position, and the tab fits very well into the case and it doesnt add to much bulk. As someone else mentioned i wish they had a hybrid between the 360 and the clip, not a deal breaker just not a big fan of the elastic band that keeps the case closed. Just a tad bit of ocd on my end the hole on the back side of the case doesnt bother me, but i wish that the samsung logo was lined up in the center of the hole All in all great case and fast shipping
Ordered mine this morning and they shipped it this afternoon. That is service. Can't wait to get home and hopefully it will be there by Friday
Ordered one last night. *waits by the door*
The new GameKlip™ is here! I started a new thread to keep things organized. Check it out here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2027611
Hello again everyone! I just launched an accessory for the Galaxy SIII (and other android phones) that you guys might be interested in! I've always loved playing games on my smartphones, but on screen controls were always frustrating. When I discovered the Sixaxis App, and native usb host and controller compatibility with the SIII, I had to figure out a good way to attach my phone to the controller. I came up with the GameKlip™.
I am a university student, and long time xda member. I've been tinkering with this project in my spare time and am now ready to produce them. I hope you guys like it! Let me know what you think!
More information and ordering info available here: http://thegameklip.com/ Starts at $15!!
Update: I shot another quick video showing how strong the GameKlip™ is. Take a look!
Update2: I have replaced the photos of the Galaxy S3 GameKlip™ with a cleaner, more accurate, representation of the final GameKlip™ (still hand cut). Its actually the same one I used in the video above! I have no issues pressing the buttons. The final version has the tabs moved up a little as well to accommodate for the bottom curve on most phones
Update3: I added a lot more information to my website. Check it out!
Update4: I just took some new photos of the production model! Notice the smooth cuts and plenty of room to press all the buttons. I have also updated the first image above.

haha I use it with a battery pack like the Tylt Powerplantl if I'm worried about running the battery dead. Endless gaming! Surprisingly though, I played a couple hours of GTA and still had quite a bit of battery left.
This is exactly what I've been looking for! Unfortunately now it means I'll need an extra battery or 2
Looks awesome. once a video goes up ill probably get one.

This looks very cool! Good job, good luck and thanks in advance for taking my money.
I would love this... unfortunately, sixaxis isnt compatible with sgh-999 (tmob s3)

I tried Kickstarter, but they rejected the idea unfortunately hopefully I can get the word out there on my own! They're available for pre-order on my site for $15
ordered it, cant wait
Thats funny..cause I think this is a great looking product.
can't say how much I appreciate innovative people...and not just innovative people..but innovative people that take action.
Patent this tech before apple steals it and sues you!!!!!!!!!!
I'm looking at the pictures of this device and I don't see how it is secure? it is just molded hard plastic in the general width of the phone. The plastic touching the phone is smooth. There is no tensioning device to squeeze the sides. i imagine if i put my phone in it and tipped it past level the phone would fall right out. Thats probably why that phone and hand that is "holding it upside down" is cut and pasted out of its original surroundings. I would imagine that it didn't get picked up by Kickstarter because they know it will be the cause of many a broken phone. Sorry to be a downer.

The phone isn't cut and pasted in the balcony picture. I held the phone with one hand and took the picture with the other I used a fill flash to light the controller, which may be throwing you off.
The material itself has a little spring to it and is molded to be just a hair thinner than the phone. The tabs hold it very securely. I can hold mine upside down with my S3 and shake it without anything coming lose or falling off.
I was looking all around for a clip with no success. Even tried to talk a Gamestop worker to give me their display clip! Found this the other day but seems so un elegant. http://imgur.com/a/sRiLs Thought about epoxying a case to the controller, but glad I found the GameKlip before I went that route.
Hey Ryan when do you think you'll start shipping? Good luck brother, I'll be spreading the word.

Thank you! I put 2 to 3 weeks on my website to be safe, but hopefully I'll be able to ship much sooner! And thank you for helping spread the word! I tried posting something over at AndroidCentral and got perma-banned for it. Oh well, xda is better anyway

Ha ha, I just posted it over there in the Accessory section.
Why did kickstarter reject you?
And it looks like it works even with a case on right
Would you be able to make one for the xbox controller?
I just hate using the ps3 controller.
