Hi
Just saw this Thanko 10x telephoto lens:
http://www.xperiablog.net/2011/06/10/xperia-arc-gets-10x-telephoto-lens/#more-1407
Sure its a gimmick, but if it is only about €17 (quoted in the article) I'd be interested in trying it out and the stand could be handy anyway. It looks a lot easier to set up than the other one in the Accessories sub-forum here.
Trouble is, I can't find any info about where to buy it (or any Thanko products). Googling brings up some products by Thanko but nothing that helps me get any further.
If anyone has any info or tips about where to get it, I'd appreciate it.
As far as i got with it was at this site:
http://cs-epoch.com/
You will have to contact them for pricing and delivery.
Thanks for the link Macr59 - looks like the one.
But my bad, I didn't realise that the product I'm talking about (the Thanko one) is the same as the other one in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1078413
I didn't notice all of the gubbins to clamp it on to the phone at first. It looked a lot simpler and less ugly in black when I first saw it but I think it is the same one.
Anyway, will post back if I get my hands on one.

Nah, those are two different products. The body kits and lenses look completely different.
I'd wait to see some sample pics of the thanko one before i purchased. The one linked to in the other thread has some sample pics, and theyre appallingly bad.

I know it looks silly, but im a nerd and a gadgeteer, and i almost want the thing just so my family and friends can lol at me when i break it out. But really, has anyone tried this? If so, how was it? I just might drop $15 on it to see.

I bought one. It works pretty well for what it is. Very inexpensive but effective. I was trying it out recently. Here are two videos taken with and without from the exact same location, one after another.

wow, that is actually not bad at all for a $15 lens. Thanks for the comment
It looks a little....goofy. I came across one a while back, though for iPhone, I would assume it would work.

I'm looking for a good book/diary/wallet style case for my new T-Mobile Galaxy SII. Something like the BookBook case for the iPhone:
http://twelvesouth.com/products/bookbook_iphone/
or this case for the international Galaxy SII:
http://www.bizwinkorea.com/tablet-p...ine-leather-diary-wallet-type-case-cover.html
I'd kinda want it to look like a leatherbound book, but that's not as important as it actually being leather. I do want it to have pockets opposite where the phone sits to hold money, cards, etc.
Anyone seen anything like this?
None? Nobody's seen anything like this?
Honestly bro I looked high and low for a case like this and it just isn't out yet. There's an OEM product called "Samsung d30 t989 leather slip cover" coming out sometime in the next few months that can be found with Google if you search the quoted phrase. The one case I found like what your asking turned out to be an incompetent eBay seller labeling **** for the international gs2 like it would work for ours.
Sent from my SGH-T989
eeeewwwwww.......
i don't like those cases, yes, they have their good uses, but... not my type
i can see many scenario and situation when & where i might want to use one, but it's not worth the cost
just search for something similar, you don't need an exact fit for those type of cases, look for another phone with similar size spec, and find it
any updates on this case?
bump for great justice. i really like the twelve south case
I've been looking at this
http://www.pdair.com/catalog/product_info.php?products_id=34089
just ordered it few days ago waiting for it to show up
---------- Post added at 10:28 AM ---------- Previous post was at 10:26 AM ----------
dont buy for talkietech or wirless age or something like that, they both dicked me around for two weeks and told me not in stock, there is a guy on ebay from hong kong that has stich color options for pd case, but i got the original from the website above
I ordered a "black Napa leather case" off Amazon. Nice quality but so thick it could hold 2 sgs2's and way too wide. Clearly not made for our phone.
http://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0075/8682/t/1/assets/phonefoldgrey-full07.jpg?111878
This case is exactly what I want but it's only for iPhone and the measurements don't match.... our phones are too wide
I've been searching for the same thing. I found this one and I really like it. Although the camera and speaker holes are wrong. Might get it and try it out anyway..

I actually might have found it on ebay.

The picture shows an iPhone but the description says it's for a galaxy s2. It's a bit on the pricey end and I'm not sure about the quality since it's not a genuine Twelve South. But they sold 12 of these so far without negative feedback.
EDIT: New link since the other one ended: ebay.com/itm/Twelve-South-BookBook-Style-Leather-Case-Wallet-Samsung-Galaxy-S2-/200706984428?_trksid=p4340.m444&_trkparms=algo%3DCRX%26its%3DC%252BS%26itu%3DSI%252BUA%252BLM%252BLA%26otn%3D5%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5992036502526272942#ht_571wt_1348
got the pdair really happy with it, but can only fit two credit cards in each slot, otherwise it looks like sh... i will post pix if you guys want

I guess, given that there's no hole on the back for camera or speakers, it should work just fine. I don't know how much different our phone is from the original GS2.
Still, at $40, I guess I'd like to hear from someone who has my phone and has bought the case.
I emailed the seller and asked for some pics of the actual item. I'm sure it's an i9100, but here ya go. Looks nice none the less. I may pick one up.
I axially bought one of these and I really like it. It doesn't line up with the holes for the touch buttons perfectly, but my x-acto took care of that easily. Seems to be pretty good quality. I've been using it for about a month.
Do you ever used your GT - P7500 with a kneeboard? If yes what kind of experience you had? I'm going to buy one to use while flying to check charts, checklists, etc. Do you have any suggestions about products? Are there any special product for p7500?
Wait ... what? By "kneeboard" do you mean something like this: http://www.avoswatersportsden.co.uk/shop/kneeboards/kneeboards/images/main_kneeboard_justice.jpg? (for those that don't get it from the picture, it's like a surfboard, only that you don't stand on it, but you put your knees on it and then "kneel" on it)
I believe I have a fairly good imagination, but I still can't imagine any reason why someone would want to buy one of those things to "use with their tab while flying"
So, what exactly do you mean? A keyboard that you can put on your knees?
No I mean something like this: http://www.sportys.com/pilotshop/product/16742
And like I said I will be using it while checking my flying charts, checklist...
Ah, this makes way more sense then what I had in mind .
Can't help you there though, never saw a product like that before ... maybe someone else knows where to get it and it is useful, best of luck!
I'm sorry for pushing your imagination's limits. :-D
And thanks for your good wishes, I hope so.
Kneeboard
Hey.
I ordered a Ipad2 Kneeboard,
and tried it for my galaxy tab.
It looks pretty good, same like with an ipad,
only 1 point is different, the charging dock is mounted on the longs side, that means when you use it in horizontal view, you have to mount the holder a little bit downward (take a look on the photo)
Quality is pretty good, and very easy to use.
I am not allowed to post links or photos in my post, take a look here, i posted here some photos:

best regards,

Now I'm getting answers. So you're happy with that product, except from one point, ha? There is no special products as an kneeboard for P7500, it's a little bit boring, but as long as it usefull no problem. Thank you for your answer.
If you are even a little bit handy I think it would be very easy to attach an elastic strap to the back shell of a Pyroskins 360 case.

Just wanted to share this, can someone here confirm if they already used this product? I think this will answer the terrible screen protection options for the galaxy nexus. =) Might grab one and try it for myself =)
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_detailpage&v=JUbt3Y0Lh8M
i am really interested in this product , but i couldn't find any review or a real test
only see unboxings and scratch tests
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JUbt3Y0Lh8M
thats a scratch test
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XxQno3R4Ixw&feature=related
manufacturer video (how to apply and such)
s'all i found anyways
edit: found it on amazon and ordered it. i hate all the options for screen protection atm so why not
I just got some from Amazon too, I'll post back when I get it.
Any first hand reviews (other than those on YouTube) would be great. I have a GhostArmour shield installed right now and I don't mind it so much, but this looks amazing!
I am just a little nervous that this doesn't seem to be removable if I don't like it... which with the GNex screen isn't good at all!
hmmm, this looks really good. I'm gonna go ahead and order some for myself too.
I just ordered an XO skins screen protector. But this looking intriguing! I wonder if I can return it and pickup a bottle of this.
Would love to see more!
Hey guys just did a quick look around online and also found this company making a similar product, the company is Liquid Defender.
http://liquiddefender.com/main.sc
interesting , i am skeptical though.
Ill keep an eye on thread.
Can you post the amazon link plz, seems I'm too dumb to find it
EDIT*** I don't know if I would trust liquid defender... From their website: "but it also featuring the ability to form a protective coating" do they proofread? Also their instructions state to apply the product in a clockwise motion while their video shows them applying it in a counter clockwise motion (why would it matter?)...
i'm interested aswell, ill keep an eye on this thread.

All the videos and directions I saw said do NOT apply in clockwise OR counter-clockwise... Only apply in ONE direction, up to down, down to up, left to right, right to left.... no circles...
I think they might have pushed this to market a little quick and might be getting their PR and documentation a little mixed up.
The emergence of another product with similar performance makes me wonder if we are seeing the next "wet-apply" style revolution. Someone figured out the next best thing and this is the beginning of the new trend
on their website there is a "hard-shield" and a "liquid armor".
both the same?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think they are the same, the Hard-Shield is apparently the new name they've given for the "Liquid Armor."

yup they are same..pulled this frm their site:
(Note: HARD-SHIELD formal name is LIQUID-ARMOR, HARD-SHIELD packs by clamshell with same formula as LIQUID-ARMOR)
the scratch test uses the same items to scratch a naked GN as in the other youtube videos that say the nexus won't scratch. Key/ screwdriver. so why is this better? How do you replace it?
Can you remove this if it gets scratched?
I want to see them do a real scratch test.
1. Apply the liquid-armor.
2. Scratch it with sandpaper (to simulate sand getting in your pocket or something)
3. Remove it???
4. Show that the screen underneath the liquid-armor has not been scratched.
5. Apply new liquid-armor.
If you cannot remove it after it is scratched, it is worse than an xo-skins or plastic protector, which are removable.
If only I can have the item as fast I can, I can try making a review and test using different kinds of camera lens filters. Can someone post a link from Amazon? I've been searching for it and to no avail =(

There you go, I ordered one already as well with the free shipping. Expedited or 2 day is way too overpriced...

Thanks will try to order one as well. Hopefully the youtube user above can post more videos.
So i broke the screen on my rear camera (gti9195), where would be the best place to buy a replacement?
i have found 2 on eBay i'm dubious about whether they will be the correct megapixel or the same quality, ( they are listed on ebay for £5...seems a bit low...i don't know).
Any one know of a good place to buy from on line, ..any help much appreciated.
Thanks
Here is 100% original part. I'm ordering parts for my service from them. It's Polish store so there is no point for You to order from them but You can look how original part should look and there is part number. Here I found exactly same part as in my local store for less than 30$ with shipping. It looks like original - sealings, part number etc. so this should be right.
Thanks, i have bookmarked the links for future reference. Turns out it is just the lense that is broke, found one on

UK based for any one interested.
