Homemade game clip - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

This is my homemade game clip.... Cost 15 dollars and an old ps3 controller.. (technically it cost me nothing cause I had the car mount already as well. )
Pics on second page
Will need :
Ps3 controller
Scosche car mount
Tin snips
Hot glue gun
About 10 min
Instructions:
1. buy 5 scosche flexible neck car mount.... Cause they are the best. The not the ratcheting adjustable ones. The but the one that I have in my pictures
2. Rip of the suction cup and trim the base to fit well with the back of the ps3 controller
3. Hot glue the car mount to the back of the ps3 controller
Tada!

No pics?

I use http://imageshack.us/ but it does need an account. It does, however, support multiple uploads at the same time via a desktop application to make things faster.

For now I put links instead of attached pictures

The reason I used the flexible next car mount instead of the game clips that you can buy for 15 dollars because I like the screen brought forward so I can see better instead of having to bring a controller forward

It sounds like a cool idea, I'd love to see some pics.

Adding this to the DIY workshop. Mind throwing up some instructions or parts list for others to follow?

Question after doing this does the controller still work with the PlayStation 3 without having to hook it back to a computer?

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

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.

I'm assuming that those clips are adjustable but I cant say for sure. It is a pretty neat controller though...

since the note is 83mm wide, im guessing no, it does not fit it.
it was not hard at all to find their official site and specs.. http://gametel.se/index.php/explore/specification
I have one, and I even did a review of it over on swartz.de You certainly can't fit the Note in it, although I'm pretty certain you could hack the holding bracket to get it to fit, via 3-d printing a longer part. The other problem would be Samsungs button placement. If inserted, you'll be constantly activating the volume button rocker unless you angle it exactly right. Of course, if you're already designing a new holding bracket for 3D printing, you could probably get around that problem as well. That said, it's still a very nice bluetooth game controller.

Car dock

Anyone has any luck finding a decent car dock for the Ion? I enjoyed using my Atrix for my car, but without a car dock, the option does not exist for my Ion.
I have used Arkon in the past with subpar results, so I would prefer something made for the Ion.

This a Garmin Nuvi mount which was modified to fit a Samsung Captivate and I've used it since then for my Thrill and now my newly acquired Ion. You can find the thread in the Captivate section.

i found this to work quite nicely! The only thing about this is that you cant have it grip horizontally while using the air vent mount (I dont think it says in description but they also have a window mount attachment and a air vent mount) air vent mount is not very good in my opinion as it does not fit in some cars.
I cant post links since i am still under 10 posts but search this in amazon:
Mivizu Universal Windshield/Dashboard Car Holder Cradle for Samsung Galaxy S3, S2, Note, Nexus, Motorola Droid Razr Maxx, iPhone 4s
Does anyone know if Xperia S accessories can work for the Ion? I think I remember hearing that their dimension are pretty much identical, otherwise I will look into that Garmin dock

Made similar holders for my HTC Desire and SGS2.
There are instructions on the internet - http://goo.gl/jNjzi
With Desire it went perfectly. When I made same holder for SGS2 I purchased hard case which was too stiff and therefore it was a bit hard to take the phone out. Also suction pad of second Garmin mount had to be of lower quality because it stopped sucking on to the wind-shield.
If you are lucky with parts (Garmin mount and hard case) then you'll have excellent car colder for a very low price.

Now for my XS (which is yet to arrive) I'm thinking about universal Clingo car holder.
Anyone here has experience with them?

Not sure about wireless charging. Case connects to micro-usb port inside to activate touch pad like otg usb peripheral device. And it provides an external micro-usb port connection for charging.

Was just asking bc there were some wireless charging cases (same design using the microusb) so I thought maybe they might have killed 2 birds with one stone for Note 2 (on Verizon etc).

How is this helping anything? Maybe this would be handy if you had no thumbs to reach the front of your device.. lol
If it an issue of not being able to reach spots of your Note2.. use Nova launcher and configure it with swipe actions to do things.
I agree.. redundant.
Plus.. do you see how HUGE this case is?? it adds a massive hunk of case below the phone. The pics are very cleverly making that somewhat transparent so it doesn't look like the phone is any bigger.. but damn.. that's HUGE.

But in all seriousness, you gotta agree this is one of the most original and innovative accessories we have seen for Note 2 so far. Also, making case longer has its advantage to lower your grip for index finger to have more room to control the pad. What I would add to this since micro-usb connection already in place, a built-in external battery and to offer a custom case with some bumper/lip protection.
I keep coming back to this to figure out what problem it solves. with one hand I can reach just about everywhere on the screen that I would under normal non-gaming solutions.
Just not the right product for me.
But if you only have 3 fingers or something, great idea!
For those who are curious, this is basically the answer to the Pantech Vega 6, a korean only phone. I'm sort of surprised something like this came out so soon for the Note II, here it is. You may see more similar stuff like this being common as phones get larger and larger.
here's a short ad for the pantech vega 6, but all in korean. http://youtu.be/QwYhG4E3iiY

Haha, I can't unsee that. I might be inclined to get one for this very reason, but I like having the cable closer to my ear, and the phone move less, especially when running. My forearms move much more than my upper arm, and I usually listen to mixes/playlists and rarely have to toggle things on the phone.
