A real holster that fits perfectly

Alright, I broke out my digicam (instead of using the phone) and took some detailed pics.
This is how you make a holster.
Not a single one on the market fits correctly and they are all made whimpy for people that are not concerned about function.
I absolutely require durability, I am a contractor and this thing sees extreme use DAILY.
I am by no means a professional leather crafter, hell, I've only really done 1 pistol holster in the past (granted it's pretty freakin nice *humble grin*).
I robbed a swiveling belt clip from a previous holster that lasted about 1 week and then disintegrated. 16ounce saddle grade leather for the exterior and doe skin for the inside liner (softer than a catholic priests fantasy butt). Stitched with real sinew.
I bought the leather (1 sq ft) from Tandy for 5$ as a scrap. I had the doe skin and sinew laying about from a deer hunt in the Northwest Territories (don't ask).
This is not difficult to make, it took about 1.5 hours total (that includes re-stitching it a few times to get it perfect) and I could have done it in 45 minutes if I really tried.
On with the pics.
(lets see some of you people do one too)
BTW, that is the T-Mo gel skin for the Vibrant in the holster (phone is on the charger right now) so you can see the fit. Note the stitching, I'm kinda proud it turned out so well.

Very nice!

Koolertron Aluminum Bluetooth Keyboard Case

Has anyone tried this keyboard case?
I've just ordered one !
Koolertron(TM) Aluminum Alloy Wireless Bluetooth Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab10.1 P7510 P7500

Looks nice,, will wait for your feedback before ordering one

I found this case on ebay : http colon slash slash three w ebay dot com/itm/New-Aluminum-Case-Bluetooth-Keyboard-Samsung-Galaxy-Tab-10-1-P7510-P7500-/220882228072?pt=US_Tablet_Accessories&hash=item336d9b5368
It's about $10 cheaper. Sorry but I need more posts in order to post links.

Looks really good. Waiting for your review

I tried this case. Returned it. Poor key quality construction - bad feel and layout. The space bar actually sits lower than the metal case edge, making the space bar practically unusable as your thumb constantly hits the case instead of the bar. Although the design is interesting, the case does not hold the Tab in place when closed. I was excited about this when I first saw it, but it's really not a good case.

I have the keyboard now (It arrived much sooner than anticipated).
I'd like to use it for a while so my opinion about it is well formed.
I had low expectations (due to previous comments posted), but I can say it's much better (construction/quality wise) than previously thought.
I used an Apple wireless keyboard ( till I damaged some keys - too much detergent/water in cleaning it) so that will form the baseline for comparison.
I'll post an update soon.
update:
The typing experience is not good. As previously stated....

That about sums it up... and I agree 100%.
It looks really good and exciting when first seen.
The experience of using it however, is really poor......
The spacebar is simply not accessible due to the way the thumb gets obstructed by the raised edge.
It's as thought no one tested the keyboard after the first prototype was produced.
or they expected it to be used with a few fingers only.... without resting one's palms.
You'll get tired easily with this, even if you manage to adapt to using it.

Arm Band

Has anyone came across any armbands for GN?
Will SGS2 ones fit our phones?

I tried a Belkin SII armband, didn't fit at all. Too short and struggled to take it out... Will keep looking.

I found this site - http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
But sort of looks a little dodge
& there is also this one - http://docteur-gsm.com/en/samsung-galaxy-nexus/9461-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-armband.html

I'm also interested in this. Saw a few on ebay.com and Amazon, but I am always a bit wary to buy from these sellers, especially when they claim a GN fit but have an iPhone or the like in the stock image.

I am interested in this as well.
thanks

Found this....
http://www.iarmbands.com/Arm-Band-Armband-for-Google-Galaxy-Nexus-CAB-nexus.htm
at least it has an android phone shown in the image rather than iphone....

yeah i found the same link (see above)
Who will be first to order from that site?? I might wait for them to pop up on ebay first

Someone said tunebelts fit. Dude said it fit the same as his Droid X did.
If that helps at all.

That one?

I am looking too...
A problem I see with most Armbands is the position of the headphonejack which is on the bottom on the Galaxy Nexus.
Fitting wise when I checked dimensions of different phones the Desire HD armbands should fit.
Desire HD = 68mm height
Galaxy Nexus = 67.94
So I'm gonna try the Desire HD one from igadgitz.com
It also has the jack on the bottom...

Yep, that's the one he claimed fit his Gnex just like his previous Droid X. He said he thought it fit because the Gnex is thinner than the Droid X.

I just put an order in for this armband. It's on sale for $14 with free shipping. I will report my findings once it arrives.

yes plz do!!

I have been speaking with someone at Tune Belt about their products for the GN and I got this response today:
Hi Adam,
I just got back from the Verizon store and this phone fit into AB84 pretty nicely. The AB84 has to stretch a bit to fit the length of the Nexus. There's a bit of extra depth even with AB84 but it is not too bad. AB85 is way too big.
Best regards,
Richard

So I think I will be buying one here shortly and I will let you know my experience. For reference, here is the product link: http://www.tunebelt.com/ab84

nice, thanks for the info!

Might have to try the TuneBelt product...

I got the same reply from Tunebelt, AB84. Said it's at the limits in length, but the headphone jack lines up nicely.

I have a suggested mod for any of the tunebelt products. The attached pics are from their waistband, but will easily work with the others as well. I don't trust velcro, and because the GN is slightly larger than other phones...even more so. I've used this belt for my OG Droid as well as my HTC Thunderbolt, but ain't takin' chances on this gorgeous new phone.
For $2 at Walmart, you can grab a kit of (I think 8) snap buttons. Very easy to install. You can do it right through the velcro, or use a sharp blade and shave the velcro patches right off/out (less to push through). Line up your rivets,etc on each side of the material and just tap with a hammer on a hard surface. Easy peasy.
LOVE it and don't have to worry about velcro coming undone and my phone flying down the street

I have the tunebelt from my Droid X and it fits, but the problem with almost all of these armbands is that the plastic cover never sits flush on the screen. Thus, the issue is that changing tracks or checking the phone is just all the more difficult while running, etc. Belkin made a great armband for the iPhone 3 (sister's) that sits very flush to the screen. I wish they had a SGN version.
Anyway, keeps us posted on iarmbands product. Would love to hear specifically how the clear plastic skin sits against the SGN screen. Thx.

Recently went to best buy and was looking for arm band case and found this:
[I am not allowed to post the link until I have 8 posts according to forum rules, but if you go to bestbuy.c*m and search for "Rocketfish arm band android" It will locate the product for you]
Although a 'generic' case, it actually fits the Galaxy Nexus (Verizon) pretty well (nice and snug) and the headphone jack lines up with the cutout. I also found it relatively easy to navigate the screen while in the case.
Just though this might help anyone looking for arm band case.

Since always, if you get away with it though then enjoy

Btw this case is horrible dont waste your money back button takes forever to respond to your touch if it responds at all , the touch sensitivity sucks , the only way you can talk to people is on speaker phone ,
When you try to talk to someone on the phone they can hardly hear you , and when your listening to them best way to describe it is they sound like robots
When you watch tv or your phone rings the sound is so muffed and distorted it vibrates the phone
Just prove that I actually do have this case pictures attached lol

Honestly, I only used this for when I went to the beach, pool, etc. I could never use this as an everyday case. However, I love this case for its intended purpose. It keeps the sand out and water out. I use it to take pictures underwater while snorkeling and it works great.
Found out it was actually stolen

I am already looking on swappa.com for a new one. I also called the renters policy to see if they cover it if it was Stolen we shall see what they say

When Seidio had their February giveaways I decided what the heck and posted on their blog. Lo and behold I won a free case. Now that I've had it for a couple weeks I figured I'd share my thoughts. Yes it's a beefy case, and it has protected against a few falls already. Some people say it's too "blocky", to each their own I guess. They (Seidio) say the audio is unaffected by the membrane, it definitely is, but is greatly improved with the bottom flap open. The screen protector is great. Nice and smooth, the dots that people complain about are quite visible at some angles, but never really bother me. The back button is tricky at times being in the corner where it is, but the menu button which is in the same "situation" seems fine. Touch sensitivity seems fine, rarely do I notice skipping swipes or missed taps. Dragging down from the top is fine from either side of the speaker cover. Speaking of that speaker, I haven't really noticed much difference on calls, maybe a little muffled but not much. No echo a few people mention and I seem to sound fine at the other end. All in all I like the case, it's not perfect, but a good compromise for the protection.

I just bought and started using this case and so far I really like it. Yes, sound is a little muffled but far from unusable, and the screen protector is great. I read lots of reviews and many said the screen was unresponsive and the menu and back buttons were hard to use...I say bull honkers to that. I'm not sure what those people are doing but the screen works without any issues and its actually better than the lifeproof case I had been using.
It's not any more bulky than a defender or the puregear case I had before, it doesn't feel overly large or bulky and it actually looks pretty good IMO.
It's not for everybody but if you want great protection don't be scared off by the negative reviews. I'll post up pictures of mine when I get the time and ill post back after I've used it a little while but initial impressions are really good.

Here's a somewhat long term use update, after a few weeks of use now I still really like this case. It is definitely "installation sensitive", I've opened the case a couple times now and if I follow the exact procedure and take my time things sound fine, but a couple times I've rushed the installation and the phone sounded terrible afterwards. It seems to be dependent on how the phone's microphone lines up with the openings in the case, apparently if you don't position the phone just-right the microphone will be covered and make you sound like Charlie Brown's teacher - wah wah wah...
When it's installed right things are great, and 3 days now it's saved my phone. I got caught in a down pour on my way home from work one day on the motorcycle, the phone would have been ruined without this case. Seidio has a 20% discount code somebody posted in another thread so now would be a good time if you want one.

iFace Anti-shock Case

What do you guys think?
Here's a link to the shop on ebay: Link.
I'm looking for something a little stylish in design and came across this.
I'm trying to favor Form over the actual function of a case. I'm almost tempted to get this one, but I wanted to see what others had as an opinion on it.

This case looks very similar to the iOttie Macaron case (see here)
If it is similar to that case as in feel and fit for the phone then I will buy this case immediately. I loved my iOttie for my iPhone 5 when I had it.

im really digging this case. might get it when funds arrive lol. anyone wanna buy a cruzer lite case? lol

I got my case in the mail over the weekend. I'll post pictures later.
Overall, it's very nice. The grip feels very good in the hand, and the case itself makes a perfect fit around the phone. The buttons aren't too tight like I've seen on other cases, but they make good enough contact that they work with every press. I'd even go as far as saying that pressing the buttons in the case feel more tactile than pressing the buttons on the phone itself.
My one complaint has to do with the rounded back. Oftentimes when I'm at restaurants or sitting at my desk, I'll set my phone on the table to use it. The rounded back makes the touch screen awkward to use as the case tends to slide the phone around a bit, or spin in place. I'd also gripe that the "iFace" logo is upside down when the phone is in proper landscape mode for camera use. No big deal though.
I got my case in the Android shade Lime-green color, but it comes in many different colors.
Also, Shipping took exactly two weeks for me, but YMMV.

It's not a whole lot to look at, but hopefully it helps. Excuse the orange paint stains on my kitchen counter. It's really bothering me in these pictures.
The back. Ample enough protection for the camera lens.
Spoiler
I really like the rounded contours along the perimeter of the phone. it feels good in the hand. It's got a soft rubbery grip. I actually nearly dropped my phone while taking one of these pictures, luckily for the grip...I managed to catch it in time.
Spoiler
The space for the MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack: Could be a bit tight for some, but works for all of my cords. My largest USB has quite a snug fit.
Spoiler
EDIT:WHELP, spoiler tags don't work like I assumed. Also, If you notice the ruler in the background, I was going to try and get some measurements, but a paper ruler doesnt do me very good when trying to figure out a difference between a couple milimeters. As far as thickness goes, the case doesn't even add a full milimeter. The sides are a bit of a different story, due to the rounded edges.

iFace case is strongly recommended for the Optimus G. It is very good quality with excellent grip.
Here is a link;
iFace first class Optimus G case

I've had a number of....accidental drop tests. This is truly a great case. The rubber bump-edge really does an excellent job protecting from falls. These aren't just little baby falls either, for instance, last night, my poor little phone fell from my hand, about 5 feet onto hard brick flooring. I've yet to acquire a single scratch anywhere on my phone!
