I saw this yesterday when I pulled into a parking lot. I wanted to get right up to their window and take a better picture but I didn't want them to be watching me from the restaraunt and think I was plotting a break in with their vehicle.
It might be hard to see with all the reflections, but it is a vent phone holder WITH A CORDED PHONE RECEIVER! I have never seen anything like this before.

Looks to me like it's a gag. I've seen quite a few corded car phones, especially in older cars... but I've never seen something like this : -)

I can't decide. Is this post more funny or more disturbing?

Probably for better reception. I've never seen one that big though.
I suspect that it's either one of those Bluetooth handsets that looks like an old phone, only this one has a cord on it, or, more likely, one of those old phone looking handsets that plugs into the headset jack of the phone.
Walmart sells the latter for about $7.
LOL..
it was probably this guy...
(hotlinked)
Seen them around here too.. mostly Hipsters... Phone and the portable record players..
You too can own one for less than 20 bucks.. http://goo.gl/bXq61 .. that is if you don't mind people making fun of you.
You can pickup an old style handset with a 3.5mm plug on it many places.
Heck, some Walgreens have them.
Hard to see from your picture, but here is a possible....http://www.shopandroid.com/cartel-ct-1000-car-kit/3AA6027.htm
How cool is that, watching this guy on the phone...

Her's had a little 1 foot curly cord hanging off the end.. looked like it was pulled from a phone booth, but it was a working bluetooth 'handset'

Can you imagine a car body made of that plastic
Damn...I had no idea how decent it was. I guess Samsung really know their hardware.

Yea, I figured it wouldn't be that brittle.

Normally when you bend plastic , it goes white at the bend point as is damaged/weakened , no sign of that here
This grade of plastic is more expensive than aluminium, and for good reasons. Im happy I have this phone and not one with an aluminium cover.
Great, I thought mine was going to break when taking it off lol
that's pretty damn impressive.
Not even fatigue
im amazed, but has anyone else tried this with theirs?

I was about to but then i looked inside my pants and realised my balls are not big enough.
Before people go trying this are we sure this is not third party? Don't recognise the logo under the camera, unless it's a carrier one?
I've tried it with mine, no problem at all.. It pop's right back to it's original state.. Did it however when temperatures were high (>25 Celcius), somehow i get the feeling that matters also a bit..
By the way.. The logo is of Anycall, it's the Korean telecom division from Samsung.
thats awesome, seems better than the SE Vivaz battery cover (my last phone)...
there's been no day i havent found something new and awesome about my SGSII =)
lmao nice one tbh first time i took it off was like omg its gonna break now i just rip it off lol but put my mind at rest im not gonna damage it
Has anybody tried bending their backcover like in the video, just in case it was a special rubber one
No way.. I wont try it
When I first took the cover off my new SGS2, I was extremely disappointed to see how flimsy the back cover was and was handling it like it was going to snap at any second..
Very nice to see that it is pretty strong, although I have no intention of testing the hardiness of my own one
Gutsy
It definitely took balls for that guy to try it on the video the first time. We can't even try it after seeing a demonstration!
I got so relieved when i saw that video xD
Got so scared the couple times i had to remove it
"Oh god, need to open the case again, its totally gonna break now!"
My thought every single time xD

Coming from the child carrying a 5.3inch phone...
You're an effing idiot...you know that?
1. Its not that big at all.
2. Do you just throw all your junk into a bag while traveling and hope it doesn't break?
3. You're still an idiot
This is what the wife's purse is for.
I really can't find any reason to carry this for. To each there own I guess

Lol, you tool, I think it's a great little bag. Currently I just have an old bag I shove everything into and hope for the best. Personally, I think it could be really helpful to have stored in your backpack or pack for traveling, like they said. Not necessarily to just carry around every day all by itself.

this thing is a bluetooth that play music wirelessly via a2dp all you need is to have aux from your stereo plug into this thing. i just got it today and it is great! i could have just stay with the aux input line but that was too messy, i like things clean and neat looking, so if you like me and want a cool solution, get this thing, dont mind the amazon reviews its the best thing out there right now.
yes you can make call from it, and I test it with my friend, mind you my car is not the quietest (02 rsx = rattles) and yet he can hear me clearly.

thats similar to the kensington liquidaux bt kit i bought. it was on a amazon for about $25 but looks like its not sold anymore.

Works really well if you asked me, and also good reviews.. and there is a usb port for you to plug in your micro-usb to charge the phone at the same time.

But how is the streaming quality?
I tried the Griffin mentioned in the OP and ended up returning it because of audio quality being significantly degraded compared to a wired connection (I'm talking about music here, not the calling quality).
Just thought I would share this. I spotted one of these Saturday @ Bed, Bath and Beyond. It really sparked my intrest, as something us Android fans rarely see the price is decent. I currently have it sitting on my desk @ work next to my monitor with my HTC Sensation on it.
I purchased this for my GS3 that arrives tomorrow, due to the center bottom port.
I will say without a case on it, it has a little lean in it. But nothing bad. I even tried my gf's HTC OG EVO last night and it had a little lean, but charged her phone and was quite sturdy.
Check it out!

Edit: I also had Best Buy price match Bed, Bath & Beyond. Saved me $10. Total of $50.00.
On a Rated Scaled I would give it a 4/5
Sound quality is great for an alarm clock or desk radio. Do not expect to listen to in multiple rooms.
Don't you have to plug in an AUX cable to utilize the speakers? Not much of a dock if you still have to plug another cord into the phone...
I hope the plug rotates.

Yes, it actually does. They tried to make it a little more universal for the broad amount of Android devices.
As previously stated. It does require the 3.5mm to be plugged in for Audio. I agree, it could have been a better design. But this will replace my need for a $20 Office dock and $20 desk radio. Just thought i would share, as i have never seen one before.
After a little research Phillips makes some also. But are much more pricey.
i've been looking for speakers for my bedroom for a while now. i want wifi, though. no cables or docking.
I cant believe there isnt much intrest for this?

The 3.5mm plug requirement kills it for me and for most others is my guess.
It's gotten bad reviews, and the fact that you have 2 wires coming out of your device is ridiculous. I really want to buy the official Samsung speaker dock, but it's too expensive for what I want.
This one may be worth looking into though: http://www.samsung.com/us/video/home-theater/DA-E570/ZA
Haven't seen any reviews for it yet though. But it comes with an S3 dock and an iPhone dock built in and connects to audio via bluetooth.
Agreed. But that option doesnt have an alarm clock or radio. O well. Im actually pretty happy with mine. Regardless of the addtional 3.5mm needed. It works great. To each their own.
I'm not a big fan of having to plug in the audio jack as well, I'm looking at possibly getting the bluetooth Philips alarm clock
http://www.bestbuy.com/site/Philips...87&skuId=3044077&st=philips alarm&cp=1&lp=12
A lot of complaints are about the app but you can use your alarm on the phone and connect via bluetooth and it comes through the clock from what I've read. A bit more expensive
looking for where to put my phone while jogging i have found "arm-bands" which i find annoying... the question is, does a similar accessory exist but that can be strapped to your leg or waist in a similar manner to gun cases for example, but for phones?
Sent from my GT-S5830 using Tapatalk 2
Hey! It's an interesting question. I, as far as i'm concerned, do not know about those leg-bands. I don't think they exist. I mean, just think of the forces applied to your phone while jogging; it would eventually break. I hope i helped you somehow.
I have one of those armbands, but rather than have it hooked to my biceps, I actually strap it to my left forearm so I can look at my info when I'm running. (I have it paired to a Zephyr HxM HRM so I can see if my heart rate is too fast or not). it also allows me to switch music tracks easily as well)
Maybe that will help out if you hook it so it's right above the widest part of your forearm.
EDIT: come to think of it: some of these armbands also sell an "extension" band.... i guess if you get 2 or those extensions, you can wrap it around your thigh so it works as a "leg band"?
I guess you are right, but then guns would have a similar problem (jumping out of place or something like that)
But I after looking around a small hip bag might do the job...
I think a hipbag designed for cell phones might be an interesting idea.

I used to use a Nike Wrist Coach with my Sensation. It's one of those playcard forearm sleeves that quarterbacks wear that has the plays on them. It work pretty well for jogging; I would have My Tracks and Play Music running and I could glance it my phone to check my pace, distance and change songs. I could even use voice to text to send messages.
Then I lost my Sensation in a cab.
You might want to go to a sporting goods and check it out. The GS3 is much thinner than the Sensation, so it might work.
