Does anyone know if this clear case is any good ?
http://www.pdamods.com/products.asp?cat=70
I have an aluminium one but would like to change it to a clear one.
I like it very much
Ordered one with Proporta
Unfortunately theyre still out of stock there (price 14,95 GBP)
I rang pdamods.com this morning and they said they have them in stock and it would be delivered to my home tomorrow - Can't wait for it !!!
i rang proporta today to cancel my order but when speaking to the guy he said:
they come in this morning do i still want to cancel my order so i changed my mind he said hell get mine sent today 1st class so i should have tomorrow also cant wait nearly 2 months of waiting lol
i just wrote them a mail awhile agoe and got it back the server said it could not resolve the addresss then i went to their site
to look for another adress
and saw that my case was marked as ready to ship aswell
hope it gets here one day
Woohoo! Good news that i might finally recieve my order. Darn shame the phone is on its 2nd visit to the xda service centre
what is wrong with your XDA 2 (again) ?
Hanging a lot, first time i sent it back they apparentely reflashed the bootloader, but the same problems were happening when they returned it.
:lol:
jeeeha!! Mine is ready to ship as well.
Gues I just ordered mine just-in-time
(I canceled my previous order to express my anger form waiting more than a month)
just got a mail that mine had ship'd
now i can finaly change number without having to pull out the whole device
because i did try to map the play next and prev to the inc and dec and inc vol button on the side but it dont always work so sometimes it change the song at sometimes it inc the vol
Mine has shipped too. Delivery in approx. 7 days. Pitty (for that) I am on holiday then . . .

here you go, i got my new case this morning! pics were taken with the xdaII!!!
how is it ?
does it feel bulky?
does dancing riverdance on it break it ?
does it dec the gsm signal str ?
does it reflect light making it diff to see the screen with lights around?
and does the beltclip from the std case fit the hole under the cam hole ?

it doesnt feel too bulky at all, in fact it is the slimmest fitting case i have found so far for the xda. I used to use the proporta aluminium case which is a little bit bigger and thicker and heavier than this.
i have given the front a good squish test and even sat on it a few times and it seems vers strong. not as solid as the aluminium one but pretty damn close (has a little more give in it)
yey, yey, yey, i get full gsm signal with the case on as oposed to half signal that i used to get with the alu one!
a little light reflection from the case, however the screen is very visible and totally clear and colourful. I havent tested it in bright sunlight yet, however with a spot lamp it is fine!!!
there doesnt appear to be a belt clip attachment at all (unlike the alu one), so this might be an issue for people
Hope this helps guys!
to sum up i think this is the best case i have found yet for the xda II, all the buttons are easily accessible and the flip over top design is much easier to hold than the side opening alu one. It is a brilliant case!
2 possible draw backs that dont bother me at all :
1) no belt clip
2) no sd storage slots
brilliant design i recommend everyone who is looking for a small case for keeping their xfda in their pocket gets this. i am very impressed. was worth the 2 month wait!!
well from looking at your pictures there is a hole under the hole for the cam
on the std case there is a hole like it and you put in the org beltclip in it and it locks
are you positive that you cant just plug in your org beltclip
i dont really use the beltclip for anything other then stoping my xda
from moving to the buttom of my front pockets, so the clip in on the outside of the pocket
(yes i have abnormaly large pockets )
Hi guys,
ive found some bike mounts for the s2, but none of them looked solid enough to be ready for my mountainbike.
The phone should be completely covered by plastic, plexiglass or another material solid enough to survive light blows, dirt and light rain, and it should not fall of after passing the first curb.
Any suggestions?
i´ve seen mountainbike mounts for other mobile devices wich could work perfectly for the SGS II, maybe you shouldn´t look for a specific mount for the SGSII, just look for a mountainbike mount for a mobile device with a similar size as the SGS II.
Another interested here ^^ When i got the phone in a few weeks, i´ll look for that mount too.
Be very careful.
If you are MTBing versus riding on the road. The vibrations are too harsh and cause issues with the internal connectors.
I personally have lost a garmin GPS and my HTC Polaris phones. First ride and within 15 mins started rebooting etc. Garmin stated to reboot with just fine knocks.
Warned a mate when he was mounting a iphone, decided to risk it and 5 mins his touchscreen failed. Another mate his iphone started to reboot.
this may be ok... :
for_bike
I bought one but still waiting for delivery
Agaryt, please report when you test it. I'm rally curious if this will do the job.
no problem
I should have it before Thursday , so no late than Monday I let you know how does it work
Very interested too!
Looks exactly like what I was looking for, looking forward to hands-on report.
I was thinking about buying this one:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B004Q4Q6QS/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&tag=stdscaba-21
but one found by agaryt looks better, although it is bit more expensive.
Was biking the other day and wondering this very thing, however...

...this post does worry me. Biking can lead to very sharp knocks while riding along the trails, and even a phone in a lined case would be at risk.
Normal city and tour riding would likely be fine... but proper mountain biking? The potential something to be concerned about imo.
The one agaryt linked to on Ebay does look great though... if I was to get one out of that one and the one posted on Amazon i'd definitely spend the measly few pounds extra and get that one.
im also quite worried about vibration on the bike even without any connector.
i'd much rather have something to snap the phone on my (inner, up, to protect it) arm for example. you can see still the track etc quite easily (not as easily as if its mounted on the bike, but much better than in the pocket..)
I think ill buy one of the allready mentioned universal mounts where the s2 is put into a "bag" (the one from ebay looks great).
As there is no solid connection between handlebar and s2, i don`t think that those fine vibrations are a problem. Maybe theres even enough space in the bag to add some extra, soft material to absorb vibrations.
Also i think that the phone is safer on the bikes handlebar than on my arm, as i landed in hospital twice while my bike was undamaged ^^
Hmm, I would be a little nervous about the connector from the case to the mount.
Also, I assume you can feed a charging cable in where the two zips meet?
I would love to be able to use my phone on my bike and do away with my seperate SatNav. After a mount I would just need a bluetooth helmet!
Have you looked into these? I have universal mount for my iPhone and works perfectly.

Hello
Do you remember it ?
for_bike
I've got it for couple day now .
I have to say , It is really waterproof , I don't mean you can swim with it but I was running when rain and my galaxy was safe . After finish was totally dry ... That the most important for me .The problem is when you want to use headphones . There no hole for it . But to be honest if you biking better option is bluetooh headphones anyway . Quality is really well .
I took some pictures for everybody.
Any questions just let me know .

Thanks for the update Gary.I have to say that I wouldn't want to use my S2 in the front of either my road or mountain bike even if these holders do look fairly secure.
I have a Garmin 705 which is a dedicated unit for cycling. Routing is way easier to sort out and I also get helpful stats such as cadence and HR too. A bluetooth HR monitor is quite expensive for what it is.

this looks good
orderd one
i made a mountenbike trip last week from 400 km in 4 days
and i whas using a universal bike holder but the weather was dry and sunny.
i used Osmand to navigate and its realy great i think its the best app for the bike.
The bad thing whas my battery (only 4 hours of navigation)
so i need a 3500mah or more battery for a minimum of 8 hours navigation.
Thanks Agaryt!
Few questions:
1. Is the screen remains visible under the cover?
2. Can you use the touch screen?
3. What about the vibrations during the ride? Is the phone OK inside?
Some general advice from someone who used a mount with his old SGS1:
Most of these mounts have a mounting part that is attached to the bike and then some kind of click-lock system to hold the actual device in place. If so, then that is a very important weak point that you will want to look out for! These point can get loose and will sling your phone into the air if you don't secure them additionally with some straps or whatever fits your specific holder.
My I9000 had to experience that several times (albeit with no permanent damage outside of scratches) and this was not on something as wild as a MTB but something as "smooth" as a racing bike (on flat asphalt, although you need some kind of bump to make the phone fly off)

Hello .
Screen is visible very well and touch screen works more than good . Honestly I didn't ride with it yet . I was running twice so far included once when rain and both times phone was dry after .
I used two different arm band for my galaxy and galaxy 2 but nothing protected as good as this one . I mean protection against damp (sweat ) or rain .

Anyone knows a good bike mount that fits the SGSII?
I tried the Endomondo bikemount as it listed SGSII as compatible: http://store.endomondo.com/eu/endomondo-phone-bike-mount.html
but that is a lie, the phone doesn't fit the SGSII. Well, it fits if the power button is pressed <.< which obviously is a huge problem because that would turn of the phone... Also, there is no access to the power button, back/home/menu buttons if you are lucky to get it to fit without pressing the power button >.>
I also tried an armband "Belkin Dualfit Armband for Samsung Galaxy SII", guess what, the SGSII doesn't fit in that one either...
Take a look at spiderpodium.

I saw that and I can't imagine any way of that being secure on a bike? I don't ride at 10km/h on asphalt, I'm more like the fastest I can at 40km/h on mixed terrain, and I can't see how that wouldn't fall of on a minor bump or something?
I was gonna suggest the spiderpodium, and if you shop around you can pick one up for £5 on ebay, so might be worth giving one a try, does seem pretty strong.
Hi,
I'm also looking for a serious bike mount for my SG2. I remember that I've browsed once this forum and saw a serious holder where you are sliding your S2 inside and it closes like a drawer.
If someone can reference me it will be great.
Regards,
Bright

Im using this
SlipGrip-1-Bike-Mount-Samsung-Galaxy-S-2-i9100-N-C, find it on ebay
It's a heavy protector for bikes !!
http://www.dealextreme.com/p/plastic-bicycle-swivel-mount-holder-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-68133 maybe? Some extra glue on the place where it mounts and the chance it falls of is minimal. I use it and it works great, however, I speed bike (I think thats what it's called) so no real bumps in the road for me.
Haha wtf.. Spiderpodium on a bike... It's a nice stand for a desk, not for a car or a bike... It will fall. I have it and I won't trust it to hold me sg s2 in my car, can't imagine it on a bike even at low speed.
Sent from my GT-I9100 using xda premium
Ok I just got my spiderpodium and to be honest, I was extremely surprised with it, it actually holds the phone to the bike whatever I do . All my physic senses tells me otherwise by just looking at it on the pictures, but it actually works
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.

Okay to make the long story short i bought one of these cases and fell in love with it. So decided to sell these in India as there are hardly any cases available for Oppo Find 7/7A. This is the first time i am selling something online and i hope this is one of the right places to share as it can reach the right kind of people. Check out the pictures below and PM me if you are interested in buying one. I am from Bangalore, India and i will be listing this one on ebay.in in a couple of days on our yet to be started ebay store izealTEK and also will be doing a short video review of the case. The best thing about this case is its amazing premium quality material and its anti knock case cover. Yup you heard it right !! i was actually surprised when i saw these in the pictures and dint know how the buttons would work, but when i received it i was so dam happy with its functionality. Its basically a better alternative for the touch sensitive buttons. These are not clickable buttons but it works as touch sensitive buttons and also its got beautiful design to show the skyline notification light. Over all i would rate it 10/10 and thats the very reason i want to easily make it available to others who live in India. Let me know what do you guys think
Cheers !!
