Just got my Moga Pro Power today and the first thing I wanted to do was figure out how to mount my nexus 7 to it and I think I have found a very easy and simple solution. Now, it's not complete because I need a case to do this, but the concept is sound. I have an old GameKlip that I don't use anymore so I modified (read: destroyed) it in order to attach it to my Moga Pro with some industrial velcro, and likewise attach my N7 to the GameKlip. Gonna order a hard shell case for the N7 and glue the GameKlip to the case and I think I'll be good to go. Yes, the velcro is strong enough to hold the N7. Check out the pics for my proof of concept.
Nod to @aznduk and his thread for the idea- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2534009
Why not just use the gameklip with the ps3 controller?

Just wanted to come up with a way to attach my N7 to my moga since the built in clip isn't big enough. The gameklip I butchered was an old one I had laying around so I figured why not.
Well I'll be interested in seeing how this works out for you. Looks like it should work out :thumbup:

Because the Moga pro will charge his tablet simultaneously.

Also, if you could share the details of how you cut the gameklip and what kind of velcro u used (brand, make), that would be great. I use a TPU shell case to attach the gameKlip to the Nexus 7. It fits pretty well., but i have a Moga Pro controller too that i use with my Note 3. I'd love to have a mount for my nexus 7 so i could use it with my Moga controller.

Hey everyone,
I'm looking for a case that would hold the Xoom while also holding stuff like a pen or two, a small notepad, and some business cards.
I would be using the Xoom at the office for work and stuff so I need a kind of folio case that would hold those things along with the Xoom.
I'm looking for something like the following items:
- http://www.amazon.com/Black-Leather...F2/ref=sr_1_19?ie=UTF8&qid=1301190300&sr=8-19
- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846 (this case looks like it would work best, but it's made for iPad specifically. do you think the Xoom would fit okay?)
- http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...&pf_rd_t=101&pf_rd_p=470938631&pf_rd_i=507846
The closest I've found for the Xoom specifically is this:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-Xoom...TF8&coliid=I3ANDC09VLZQHO&colid=2AUBBS7RLVML5
I was just hoping to find something a bit more focused than that though as far as physical document storage, seeing as the Xoom would not be used exclusively for note-taking and such quite yet.
Anyway, do any of you know of a case like those that is made more specifically for the Xoom?
I'm a happy booqbags customer, here's something I'd like to see for the Xoom:

I am also waiting for a case like this, best with a built-in bluetooth keyboard. Until then I bought a netbook carrying case:
Targus 10.2 netbook case
I tried to slip the Xoom in at a local best buy and it fitted perfectly. There's also plenty of space for accessories.

OOooooh! That is a nice concept! But I don't like the zipper style too much. Reminds me too much of my childhood when I kept my table tennis rackets in those zipper bags But the idea with the separate Xoom skin is sweet!

Thanks for the link, I think I'm going to pick that up and just slap some Velcro stickers on the back of my xoom rather than use that inner case. Ill post pics when i get it.
The power of search...
So I'm still looking for some type of case for the Xoom that will also hold documents and possibly a few business cards and a pen.
Anyone found anything like that?
I picked it up at BB, it's an Incase Nylon Sling Sleeve for MacBook Pro 13". I like that it has room for not only my Xoom, but also the keyboard, a few cables, and even a few file folders. It has handles that tuck away if you want to, as well as a nice padded shoulder strap. Just got it yesterday, but I think it will work out great!
Now tied in with Sugarsync and the new Quickoffice Pro HD, I have ALL my work files everywhere I go!
How much was it looks great
Great job. You took all the right pictures. Incase makes fantastic products. Their only problem is they mostly cater to apple.

Just bought the bag. Best buy online has it on sale for 47.99. Had to make the store price match it.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
I feel like there's too much room in that bag for the Xoom. Is that true? Like... will the Xoom slide around or anything inside of it? Also, what kind of case do you have on the Xoom?
The pocket where you'd put the Xoom is a little bigger, but not much. It does not slide around cause of the thick felt padding it has. Feels very secure.
The way the bag is made keeps it from "sliding" around, it is larger than the xoom (a file folder fits in there perfectly), but no excessively so. I think it works, for now, until something Xoom specific hits the market!
Nice Find atoy74! I paid like $60 for mine, but had some Reward Zone money so didn't pay that much out of pocket. I know they have it on Amazon too.
Oh yeah the shoulder strap is long enough to use the bag like a messenger bag too!

Do you guys think that this case would fit the xoom? The iPad 2 dimensions are 241.3 mm(h) x 185.67mm (w) and the xoom is 249.1mm (h) x 167.1mm (w). The case is made for the iPad 2 camera to fit in the right places, but do you guys think that the xoom would fit in like an iPad 2 sleeve? Let me know your ideas.

I bought it in store, for 30 but will be going back today to get my 15 dollar refund, it is super nice to get me by until a good portfolio case comes out.
i got the $15 HP case in store at Best Buy Tuesday night. Not bad, little too big for my taste (I used to have a very snug iPad case that I LOVED)

Im thinking of either the Official Samsung Book Case or one of the belkin cases.
Any reviews or pros/cons of the official case? I bought a cheap one from ebay, but I haven't received it yet, so I'm thinking of buying this case or another quality case.
Looks like an awesome case. But even with the 30% off, I think I'm going to pass.
I bought a similar case for my iPad. And liked at first. But I often took the tablet out of the case. Eventually I just got so lazy I stopped using the case all together and just use a sleeve instead and get out a foldable stand when I need it.
get the keyboard dock and a neoprene sleeve ;p
I think we should start 3 more threads about this case.

I'm getting it because I use a big satchel designed for a 13" laptop to carry it out of the house. I probably will not use the case at home, and use the case when I'm out and about.

OP, I say buy it and try it. If you don't like it, there's always Craigslist. That's my plan.

I was interested in whether the official samsung case was worth it or if it would be better to go with the belkin one from best buy. Has anyone tried out either of them?

So the GameKlip is compatible with the first generation nexus 7 but apparently not the second. Does anyone know whether this will change any time soon or if there is an alternative?
Thanks

Well, you could ask them here. Otherwise the Universal case mount would work with the 2013 N7.
fantastic case mount, but the case will be sticked permanently so I need to buy another one...

^^This!!
I actually bought a GameKlip made for my Evo 4G LTE, before they started making the universal kit. Once I got my Note 2, I just cut off the tabs that held the Evo, applied some 3M double sided tape, then stuck a slim hard case (that I had already purchased from ebay for less than $2 shipped) to the 3M tape. Works perfectly! I considered mounting a case for my N7 FHD to it, but I think that the N7 might be a little too heavy, so I haven't bothered. I'll probably just use a case for my N7 and have it sitting in front of me while I'm playing, like I do with my Asus Infinity.
Anyone tried mounting their N7 to a GameKlip yet, and give us your thoughts on the weight of it? I'm 6'2" 200lbs, but still think it may get uncomfortable after an extended period of time of gaming...

I have. I used the gameklip mount that came for my S3. Removed the cover adn scratched the 3m tape clean. It took me a while to get the adhesive off though. I bought a Fosmon sleeve for my Nexus 7 FHD and attached it to the GameKlip using a 3m double sided adhesive mold tape. ITS ROCKING FOR ME. I don't do too much of gaming, but i have gamed for an hour or two at stretch and I find the setup pretty comfortable. I don't even feel the weight once I am into the game. I have my sixAxis wired to the N7 and have the USB adapter stuck to the back of the Fosmon as well using the 3m double sided tape. I love the gaming experience on this one. I wish someone came up with a mount for Moga Pro Controllers too.

So the GameKlip you had for your S3 was already universal then, correct? I'm assuming so since you didn't have to cut anything off of your GameKlip like I had to. My GameKlip was made specifically for a Evo 4G LTE, so I couldn't stick a case to mine without first cutting off the ends.
I'm thinking of removing the Note 2 case that I mounted on to my GameKlip with 3M tape. I'll remove the 3M tape and any residue leftover from it, then stick velcro to the GameKlip. Then I can stick the opposite side of the velcro to my Note 2 case, and a separate piece of velcro to a TPU case that's made for a N7 FHD. That would allow me to easily swap cases on my GameKlip, thus allowing me to easily switch between which device I want to mount to my GameKlip at any given moment! I think I'll first use some painters tape and attach my N7 FHD to my GameKlip just to see how the weight feels, and see if having my N7 FHD mounted to my GameKlip is even something that I would want to do. I'd hate to go through the all of the hassle just to find out that I would rather just use my Moko UltraSlim to hold my N7 FHD while gaming.
If I decide that I do think I'll like my N7 FHD mounted to my GameKlip and go the velcro route, I'll post some pictures of it in case anyone else is interested in doing the same thing. Don't know why I didn't think of doing this before now! It will be pretty awesome to have the ability to quickly and easily switch between devices on my GameKlip!! I'll just need to get some fairly strong velcro to be able to hold the weight of the N7 FHD securely to the GameKlip without ever having to worry about it coming loose and falling off. I'd imagine that shouldn't be too difficult though, and worse case I can just use a couple long strips of velcro to give me a worry free attachment!! If anyone else decides to do the velcro method before I do, please post up some pics! What velcro you find to be the right strength would also be very helpful to myself and/or anyone else thinking about going the velcro route!!

That is correct. I was using the universal gameklip with the S3.
I would be interested in seeing the velcro setup pictures too. Sounds cool. My only worry is that would it be able to hold the device. The 3M works great, but then you lose teh ablity to swap devices. Let us know how it goes. GOOD LUCK !!!!!!:good:
hi guys, any success with the velcro route? some images would be very much appreciated
