I'm not a fan of a case that has a "sleeve" to hold my cables...those are lost cables waiting to happen.
This one looks promising: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B002N7QWMI/ref=ord_cart_shr?ie=UTF8&m=A174CY8CR6S3G5
The dimensions seem perfect for the Archos 101. Its a harder shell case for better protection and the front pocket zips shut for the cables and crap.

Micro Center Case
I like the one you posted. I prefer the Soft case. I'm not sure why you think the cables would get lost. he case I got also has a zipper on the front pocket. My cables are fine. he Neoprene also stretches well so if you have to stuff more in that pocket.

nice case been looking for a case

Great for a girl... It's a shiny and girly bag if you ask me, but I really like the hard case.

I will try making a case for my 101 by myself... who wants to follow?

I will try making a case for my 101 following this guide.
Thanks to BRANDON that put it online for us.

I saw this article as well. One thing I posted (I think on Lifehacker or Gizmodo who also ran the article) was that a better way to do this might be to go to your local Goodwill (or other thrift store) and buy a hard cover book. It would probably cost like 50 cents and and you won't feel as bad if it fails miserably than if you dropped close to $20 on this project. LOL

ExploreMN,
I think the advantage of doing this one is that you can take the exact measures for the covers and the spine and make the archos fit perfectly. As you say you could also buy a hard cover book take out the pages, cut to measure and re-tape the covers. It has to be a book with a slim spine, though.
I was also thinking in doing the "cutting a hole in a book" thing but I really think that one looks ugly.

A bamboo or wood tray like the one in the picture would make this project much more interesting!!!
First thing would be to get the exact measures for the Archos 101it.

Mom knows best
So as everyone else has probably noticed, all the cheaper universal cases seem to be made with dimensions to accomodate the ipads and laptops. The one that I bought fit width-wise, but was about 3 inches too big height-wise.
Luckily...my mom is pretty handy with a sewing machine and was able to rip it apart and put it back together so that it fits snugly now.

My wife just made me a very nice little sleeve with just a swatch of cloth. Nice accessory for when I want to put it on a portfolio or some other thing that could cause scratching.

I will try also make a casing... Tom i'll buy lether do some cutting and pasting and let see what will happen... mine is Archos 101

I really would like your work

I carry mine in a 10 inch netbook bag with my hard drive and misc. cables but I have noticed it copes pretty well with going around in my jacket pocket and no scratches in site, really sturdy device this is

Case for LapDock

Do any of you have a case for the lapdock to recommend?
I travel a lot and use my lapdock everyday and I want to prevent it be scratched up.
Cheers

I just searched "Atrix Laptop Dock Case" on amazon. I ordered the one at this link because I liked the color scheme (slime green on black). It's your standard neoprene case with a zipper pouch, a bit overpriced, with no handle. It makes me comfortable stuffing the Lapdock into a backpack though (which is all I really wanted). I'd buy it again if I lost it, but not if I could find (a cheaper) one with a handle. Good luck.

might consider getting this.

There's the official one, but it's pricey.

Try this company for the OEM case, I found their price and service to be excellent

I haven't checked the exact dimensions, but you could also try a neoprene sleeve for the 13" macbook air (the laptop dock has that extra bar at the back, which may add the extra couple inches) or even the 11" air.

I got the motorola one, looks and works a treat, cost more than the rest but worth the money.

I bought a Kenneth Cole Reaction bag from Fry's. Below is a link to what the bag looks like.

I have the motorola one. It works great and looks very nice.

Plastic case, pouch, screen protector?

My box of Xperia Play didn't include a pouch so I must buy something to protect the phone.
I saw a cool plastic case: http://www.accessorygeeks.com/oem-t...-plastic-silicone-case-ag-xper-py-bk-blk.html and I thought it's good for me, but after a while I realised it turns the phone into a brick, something I don't really want to.
So then another option is to get a pouch, searched and found a few, but pretty expensive ($35 - $60). I just want something good, good looking and for a price of maximum $15.
Optional: An invisible screen protector which theoretical protects the screen for scratches.
I need some help here. What should I buy?

I don't know if you know this but, the Xperia Play comes with a preinstalled invisible screen protector. So you're half covered already.
I can't recommend you a case/pouch since I don't have one but I don't even want to know how bulky it'd be with one when it's on my pocket.

I got the official sony ericsson executive hardcase and i love it - http://www.amazon.co.uk/Sony-Ericsson-SMA7110-Executive-Xperia/dp/B004S5CP0Q
I don't really like the snap on case because I hate adding bulk to an already bulky phone and also I have the DK300 dock and it would require me to constantly take off the other cases.
I also bought the official pouch that came with the European models from here - http://www.netimes.com/shop/sony-ericsson-xperia-play-pouch-ca850-p-3255.html?cPath=70_808

Off-topic but how trustworthy is that site? I see they have a lot of accessories and ship worldwide, so far I've only used DealExtreme but they don't have many phone-specific stuff (except for the iphone).

Fast and efficient and supply tracked shipping.
I was amazed they had tracked shipping with signature approval for something that was just an envelope.

I bought my macbook sleeve/pouch from there a few years ago and it was awesome for keeping scratches off etc. Then When I got my play I measured up the iphone sizes for their iphone cases and on a whim just bought one to see if my would fit in it. was a bit tight at first but after a while it now fits as snug-as-a-bug-in-a-rug! and it looks cool aswell, hardly adds any bulk and even if it does at least when I pull it out I don't look like I have a brick for a phone but just an awsome pouch/sleeve thing and i pop my phone out of. defo recomend.
So to make sure you guys are aware, if you're up for it, buy the iphone sized one, thats the one I got. They are designed to fit iphones but plays fit fine ;oP lol. They're Australian based but post all around the world, i got mine within a week in the UK.

I got the second one with my phone. I generally hate phone cases but this is nice since it's not making a brick out of phone and it's not taking away it's style. On the left is a cut-out so the headphones plug isn't covered, and it makes easier to take out the phone.
Pouch on first link is a bit ugly.

bought a cheapy gel case of Amazon and noticed there is not openings for the stereo speakers , I just looked at the case in post 1 and it has not speaker openings as well

This item, on ebay, has the speaker ports open, and is slimmer, and better than the Gel one I tried:
Search for that item number: 190527208284
I've got one of these, and it's well worth a few quid more.

Your case looks like the one i was going to order from Amazon for £2.99 , but is only £1.99
Thanks
John.

lol..It's a nice case, fits well, is slimmer than the crap one I had(prepaymania £2 gel case, and another from local phone shop, both identical to be honest), and I had given up on cases for it, as well, I thought most were the same(people even have issues with otterbox, etc..)
It's semi transparent, and it allows the sliding motion well, better than the other two I tried, i felt they were prising the phone apart, but this one isn't an issue.
well worth £1.99, IMO.

Exotic Accessories for the S3 ?

I am seeking to compile a nice list of "exotic" accessories for the S3.
truly cool exotic strange things.
They can be strange in look and style strange in function or strange in what they are made of (no gem plastered covers very boring unless its REALLY freaking cool
on ebay you can get really nice Bamboo cases. I have one coming in the mail will post better pictures later. search galaxy s3 bamboo
I also got a nice 3D silicon STITCH case !! ordered that too. (pictures of both attached)
I found a silicone Cassette Tape cover. not a tpu with picture of cassette but silicon in the SHAPE of a cassette too. very neat. for $4 why not. ordered that too.
On the forums right here found this Game klip holder to physically mount a sixaxis controller and s3 together.
http://buy.thegameklip.com/
This company
http://usshop.freshfiber.com/?Product Group=Samsung Galaxy SIII&_lang=en
has several interesting 3D cases. I especially like the "book" case (very elegant looking) and the dictaphone is quirky
on ebay you can also find other cases like stitch but of teddy bears etc..
I found a bunch more odd ball silicon cases on ebay and another wood veneer case (looks like its not bamboo) pictures attached.
Can't forget the Gameboy Case oh and there is a calculator one too (non working pity)
Found a case with built in "lights" (remember those lights that flash when your phone rings? that!) I think it only works with GSM though.
Here is an interesting one. I have a bunch of those little lenses you attach to phones wide angle macro etc..
this is a 4x lens !! a little steep in price for an impulse buy but I will be keeping an eye on this one
280774520126
This one is actually kind of cool.
130780971906
its a case with a 3D LEAF On the back but its actually a place where you can wrap and store your head phones. thats actually pretty neat. a bit expensive though.
That's one way to put a mirror on a phone
280964614237
While not exotic its certainly not common
261109686186
a Galaxy SIII SHIRT
OK now this 120985261306 is actually pretty cool looking. wish they made it in ORANGE
HAH found it 120985263426
Interesting if your a cyclist. designed to look like a bicycle helmet 180994575165
ok I am done for now. that just the first 40 pages next 12 hours of auctions.
its mostly cases. anyone find any other neat things?

Max 20 per post so here is the rest
OK some of these are just hideous ! its certainly exotic ! 130781376064

Definitely not my cup of tea. It will make s3 so ugly.

I like them
Very Nice, Thanks
Via mon nouveau S3

victor I said exotic not expensive.
exotic as in "strange" or "unusual" or "not typical" etc.. etc.. that is what exotic is. not your typical tpu/otterbox/leatherbifold type accessory.
anything strange fun exciting etc..
because the S3 is so nice and most importantly the "SAME" across the board we are seeing a lot more accessories made for it since they can make ONE accessory and it will fit "ANY" S3.

I wrote to these folks to inquire about a S3 version of their case. They said once production starts on the iPhone version, they will begin the S3 design. If I move to a new case from my white UAG \ Spigen Modello duo I currently use... it will be to this one. It has a knife, screwdriver, thumbdrive... just look, it's damn neat! The camera lens attachment looks awesome as well!
http://www.indiegogo.com/TheReadyCase

hey that is pretty slick. I like the built in lens ring I use those lenses quite a lot!

Ok here is some more "cool" ones
found a lego style one. got it for $2 so yeah I bought it
the fake camera doubles as a kickstand one is neat.
then you have the hard feline one and the "purse" style one with strap.
Now this one is actually REALLY cool. 251158308395 the USB cable has a built in hiding spot inside the case. but its rather expensive at $38 more than I am willing to pay. if anyone finds one cheaper please post. Great idea!
HEY almost forgot this one a NON CASE gadget!! not S3 specific but its cool and strange and works with the S3 so it counts old school HANDSET Headset. I love using this I have the orange one of course you can get them for $10 on ebay

nice info mate..but ill just stick to my slim hard case...

Haha some of these are pretty crazy. Still trying to figure out if I even want a case yet. So far I've been very delicate with this one.

i would at the minimum get a bumper case or tpu case. about $4 on ebay. it only takes "ONE" time to not be careful and that's all she wrote for $500 poof. I can not afford not to have a case so I might as well have fun with em.
