Boondock *10/28/10* New Design Up

Check it out. Made it with some sold scrap metal I had around the shop. I will get more pics when I put some spray on it.

Here it is all finished. The bolts make it so I can tilt the phone more forward or back by loosening or tightening the jam nuts. Comes in handy when watching video. I put some VW lug covers on the head of the bolts to protect the case of the phone. Not bad for a days work.

Sweet!

wouldnt really consider that ghetto. have you seen the ****ers around here using the cardboard box the phone came in? or the guys using paperclips?
he could probably market this to iphone owners as some industrial steampunk phone stand, get "Made for iPhone" stamped on the box and sell these for $200 all day long.

You know, I was thinking the same thing. Im going to make another for my touch pro 2. I will post pics asap.

What case is that on the phone? I just ordered a Vibrant (it'll be here tomorrow. Can't wait!) and I'm looking for a good case to put it in. That one looks pretty nice. I was a bit disappointed to find that Otterbox doesn't make a case for the Vibrant.

Its just a rubber case from the T-mobile store. I got it when I got the phone. It was only like $15 and it fits real nice.

love to see it. i'm a car guy too. buddy of mine made some lamps out of old cams, cranks and turbine housings from some shot turbos he had in his garage.
i like to see stuff like this. lots of people dont have an open enough mind to figure stuff like this out.

Nice Job. Money tight? I hear ya.

New Dock
This is my new one, for my touch pro2. Same basic design as the first, but a little rougher around the edges. It also fits my vibrant really well. I think Im going to play around with fiberglass and see what I come up with. I did body work for awhile, and I can sling mud with the best of them.

just found a supa good deal...

well...I guess it's all relative what a "good deal" is, but I got married on friday, graduate school in 3 weeks, and have yet to find a full time, salaried position with benefits. I'm currently turning a wrench in a shop as much as I can on weekends to make some $$, but the GI Bill has helped wonders.
In short, I stay strapped for cash. Never broke, but always lookin for a deal

Came across this just now, and didn't even hesitate to order. I figured even if the whole package sucks, I paid under 10 bucks for expedited shipping. If it works out, I've got a case til I decide which nice one to get (OB or Seidio prolly...) and car charger (already have a decent screen protector). For 10 smackeroos, I'll take that risk
Either way...not trying to advertise, hope this isn't interpreted as such, I just figured this deal had to be shared!

Looks like a good deal to me. I don't like cases though. I like my.phone like my women... naked. The captivate is too pretty to hide behind a case.

I got this one last week, will be writing a reveiw soon. The case is good, the charger is ok but is not for a Captivate, the bag says is for a Motorola Razr and the screen protector can't say nothing because I am using a different one.

thanks for the info. that's pretty much about what I expected. I wasn't gonna worry about the screen protector, as I, like you, am using a different one, mainly i bought it 'cause i figgered it might work out to a cheap, halfway decent case, and a bonus charger

Tripod?

With such good video, I'm really keen to get a tripod, or at least a tripod adapter.
Can anyone recommend something? I realize an 'official' tripod is probably not on the cards, but maybe a 'generic' model you can recommend?
Thank you!

http://joby.com/gorillamobile/original/

That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!

Is that confirmed working? I ask because to me the textured back on the SGSII seems like it would be a problem for a suction cup.

Anybody got a tripod solution that is working? I really need an accessory for this, and all the ones I see on Ebay and similar only work to the width of 62mm.

I know I'm pimping it everywhere at the moment, but I'm really impressed with my Breffo SpiderPodium. Would work quite well as a tripod, I'd have thought,

Thanks, to be honest I was looking at it for just that purpose last night... hmmn, could be doable.

Unfortunately the Joby model is not avail in the UK - and buying it from the US would be a 12 quid shipping fee... on something that already cost 25 quids.
So I'm back to square one...

I need this aswell, but still couldn't find a good one. If I want to buy the joby, which one should I buy? I've only seen those for iPhone. Seen the universal, but I don't think we can use it for SGS II.

It is available from various places, John Lewis being one. However, the cheapest I could find is £25 from the below link.

Sadly, no, they have various models, and this is the SLR model. The model for the SGS2 would be the mobile one with the suction cup and the two adhesive pads. While you can get a gorilla pod in the UK (amazon), the mobile kit doesn't seem to be available.

Hi everyone - I finally found that Joby Mobile in the UK. cost was only 11.99 inc delivery. I must say I took a gamble, because the site doesn't look very professional - it's http://www.7dayshop.com.
But they charged my card correctly and I received the tripod within the week, so all is well than ends well
Now the question is 'does it work' and the answer is a resounding 'yes!'. The suction cup takes time to get accustomed to but once you get the hang of it works perfectly. I'm using a rubber phone cover, so I guess this helps. If you don't have any luck with the suction cup, it also comes with adhesive pads (non marking) and finally it also comes with the standard camera attachment so you don't have to carry two tripods.
I must say for 11.99 I'm very pleased!

thanks for sharing your experience.. might get one as well

Waterproof Pouch WP-320

Anyone tried this Waterproof pouch?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=271017216379
Comes with both a lanyard and armband. It's made for the Galaxy S3 and it has a window on the back that allows you to take pictures while the phone is in the pouch.
I ordered one. Will review it when it gets here in a couple of weeks.
I've seen the same thing on dealextreme and some other sites. There are some color options as well.
Looks nice, I just hope it keeps the phone dry.

I use these.. personally i see it as a better deal.

Not sure if you guys are kidding or not. I don't think you'd take your phone inside a Ziploc bag into the water and it didn't have a lanyard did carrying around your neck or an armand for biking or running.
So has anyone used the item I posted or I'm going to be the guinea pig with it?

Been using electronics in them since pagers in the early 80's. Never a failure, never a problem, and cheap.

Honestly not joking. I have been doing that for years (started back when people didn't try to scalp you for expensive bags for your phone.)
they have everything i want:
cheap (if it gets worn, i can afford to toss it)
full visibility (i can see if water gets in, unlike ones with non-transparent parts, that can hide water that might have gotten inside)
positive sealing confirmation (yellow and blue make green!)
holds sammiches!
Now, if you need a lanyard... then maybe a sandwich bag is not for you.. unless you want to duct tape some string on it.... but for running, and biking and such i don't want my phoone slapping around.
if you want something to keep it handy without using pockets, get an armband, and put the phone in the baggie, and then in the armband. secure, and cheap as heck.
lets cost it out:
a cheap armband (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1813803&highlight=arm) : $3.50
a single ziplock (gotta be a sealing one, not one of the fold the flap ones...) $.06 (i rounded up)
total: $3.56
win.

I really just want to know if anyone has used this particular pouch and how they feel about it. I'm not looking for alternatives at this point.

i think what these guys are getting at is that if youre going to trust your 600 dollar smartphone to a chinese ziplock bag, you may as well just get a ziplock bag.

I used this one snorkeling all day during my cruise and it worked great. I used it all week. Put it in bathing suit cargo pocket and looped the string through the hole in my pocket and tied a knot on the outside so even if it came out of my pocket it couldn't float away.

Moto 360 bumper case 3D printed

I haven't seen anyone post this on XDA and I thought this is was different. sorry if already posted
below I have the quote from the original posting from the seller. DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation to the seller nor do I know him!
ogdobber said:
I've designed two simple snap on cases for the Moto 360 that I hope will offer some extra protection to the glass face. Right now there is a short and tall version. The short is just 0.3mm over above the glass and the tall is 1.5mm above.
I've been wearing the short one in black since Thursday and have been happy with it from a fit and look standpoint. The matte black next to the stainless ring on the front looks great. And the tall version should be here this week and as long as it looks OK i will likely switch to it as i feel like the short one is mostly appearance and not helping to protect the glass at all. Can you tell I'm phobic about scratching the face of this watch?
I have only ordered the black and polished metallic. The black looks great but the metallic looks cheap and I wouldn't willingly wear it.
I'm open to suggestions for changes to shape and design if people would like some other versions. And while i make a few dollars off each of these, this is not a business and I'm never going to open tooling and make these commercially in volume. But i would be really surprised if there are not a dozen phone case makers turning out similar products in a few months. I'm actually wondering why they are not there already? Maybe Motorola didn't release outside dimensions ahead of release like they do for many phones.
If other are interested you can order from here: www (dot)shapeways(dot)(Com)/shops/Raelx[/url]

Love the idea. but then again, its just more bulk to the watch (which is already big on my smaller wrists)

Like I said, I may order the white one as I feel it looks more like what a watch would be. So maybe get a white band too. More options to match an outfit too.

Short or tall version? This looks very interesting.

This is definitely interesting, I like it. To bad the shipping is almost as much as the case itself. Any discount codes for the site? I think I might just have to order one.

I ordered the matte black one today. I already have a few scratches on the side of the watch and bezel, but I managed to buff them out for the most part. This will help keep it from getting more scratched up I think. I'll post pics once I get it.

I just ordered one with USPS First Class shipping total out the door $12.99

That's a reasonable price, the problem is i live in Puerto Rico and it shows $19.99 for ship to a total of $27.99, and some sites think we are international shipping. We have in PR USPS, UPS, Fedex that I use always without problem. Sending a small like that would be like 5 to 6 bucks on USPS.
For example: Yesterday i was going to buy a Amazon Fire TV for my boss, and I was unable to buy, even calling amazon support they told me they cant be shipped to Puerto Rico, and the crazy thing its I have a Fire TV since launch that I bought directly from amazon and received via UPS next day and she saw the order on my history he don't even know how i do it. I have prime and I receive the diapers for my toddler second day via UPS. Crazy stuff LOL

I live in NY so I have asked Shapeway if there is any way I can come pick it up. Their website does mention the fact that they are cool with personal pickups.

Shipping 2 to Florida and only 4.99 for USPS First-Class Shipping
