Looking for Swivel Hand strap case for Note 10.1(2013)

There was a case I saw a long time ago that seemed like it could be nice to have. As of today I started craving it and want to buy it.
It is case with a swivel hand strap on the back. This would allow for comfortable holding while drawing or carrying around. Allowing for working in Landscape or Portrait without any hand discomfort.
I had put the case on a wish list on Amazon, but I have since deleted it. Does anyone know of one? I am not having any luck finding on today.

I recently switched from a Note 10.1 to a Windows tablet, but also use it for drawing. Currently I am using a standard leather case with something called "hand-e-holder" attached. I got mine on Ebay, but Amazon sells it also. There is a pad(sort of like velcro) that attaches to the case or tablet. The handle then sticks to the pad, so the handle can be removed it needed. Whats also good is that it is very comfortable, and does not freely rotate when trying to draw.
I looked into a couple of other "handles" that either stick on or wrap around the device, but I think will fit your needs the best. When searching Amazon for the Hand-e-holder, if you look at the related products you'll find similar handles.
I tried cases that rotate but there's no resistance to it tends to rotate in every direction when trying to draw.
Hope that helps. Us artists, got to stick together.

Yeah, I have seen those around. Guess that is what I shall end up going with Thanks!
I was wanting to get a Windows Surface Pro 2. I think having a drawing tablet you can ACTUALLY install Photoshop on... man... would be nice. But the setup is not quite in my budget right now heh.

I went with a manufacturer refurbished Samsung Ativ 700T. It has the same specs as the Surface Pro 2, but is lighter, does not get as hot, a bit better battery life, and a 12" screen. That extra 2" makes a difference when using Photoshop with palettes. I got mine from an online retailer off off Ebay for $600. I use a wacom pen and it works the same as it would with the standard drawing tablet.
Just for preformance reference, I use Photoshop CS6 (64bit)on it. My files are around 80mb, with around 30-50 layers, and a dpi of 300. No real lag unless using a large brush. If you a fast sketcher you might get some lag, but at that sketch stage my image rez is usually at 72dpi so I don't have an issue.
If you have any specific question about my setup don't be afraid to ask. I'm always willing to help out a fellow artist. I did a lot of research on all the competing tablets. Plus I had the same decisions to make when purchasing mine.
On a side note, the best painting apps for Android are, Layerpaint HD, Sketchbook Pro, and Infinite Painter(note edition). LayerPaint HD is probably my favorite because of the tool set and the interface is the most similar to Photoshop. Sketchbook Pro and Infinite Painter have brushes that simulate actual brushes more realistically. Clover Paint is also interesting. Its the only one where you can set up the interface with custom shortcuts(to brushes and such). Its not very intuitive though.
Also if you didn't know you can use a actual wacom pen (UP-801E) with the Note. The eraser functions as an eraser and some of the apps use the side switch. Plus because it is bigger it is easier to hold for long periods. The pen is discontinued but you can still find some on Ebay and other online retailers.

who has the watch?

Like the title says, has anyone even preorded and received this watch?

I picked the only one I could find in a Florida bby today, haven’t opened it yet.

Let me know what you think of it when you get a chance

So far I love the style. Will check battery life today.

Just got mine. I don't understand all the haters. I actually really like this one. Of course no nfc, heart rate or speaker but I never used a watch for them anyways

lol I agree .
I bought leather and metal straps for mine and now use this watch whenever I am dressing formally or for events only.

Received this morning from Slovakia, bought on ebay for 150€ New in the box. The Guy seem have many W7 to sell.....
I love the look of this watch. Just to see how is the battery life ? no good review see for this watch

I am a bit late but I received mine today. I am so happy!!!

Haven't ordered yet but yes interested

Recently bought such a son. There are no claims for quality. We can easily contact him

Not currently on my list...

Is it worth buying or no?

Nice but bad battery life. Only if you do not want play a lot with the watch.

The watch is 2 yrs old, and officially discontinued.
I have had this watch since its release, and I really like this watch, still use it, though not as my main watch for one reason I will mention below later. I mainly wear it when am going to events as my other watch is just too casual-looking. I have tried a few different bands with it and it looks great with all of them. Now on to the issues with the watch:
- No heart-rate sensor. Might be a bummer if you want to use it for fitness-tracking.
- No updates anymore, since it's discontinued. Last major OS version update was to Android Oreo.
- BIGGEST PROBLEM: Battery life is extremely short when it is fully on, I am only able to squeeze out just under a day with a single charge. I don't even have any extra apps on it which could be blamed. I do have the always on display enabled all the time though. There is a mode where the 'smart' watch is off, just the analog hands are working, and in that mode it can run for months on a single charge, but that defeats the purpose of a smartwatch for many. Now this is the reason I don't use it as my main watch. My other Huawei watch, much more loaded with apps and with a heart-rate sensor is able to survive 2 days on full charge.
- Analog hands might annoy some people, as it does get in the way when viewing a lot of notifications. I don't use it as my main watch so I am not bothered with it.
EDIT:
- Oh, and also, it does not have NFC, so no touchless payment in the era when we need it the most.

Worth it?

I've got a OPO 7pro, is this phone worth it as an upgrade? give me your honest opinion please

I have been using it 3 days. So far it's great but I am worried about what will happen between now and the time I get the case I ordered. I will report the condition of the device after a little longer on a post here. The little screen is a productivity powerhouse, every app so far has worked with the exception of Chrome and Google Search oddly. I'm not sure why they don't want us doing those apps on it.

I'm personally happy with it. This is the first Android phone I've ever owned that I haven't felt the need to root. The small screen in particular is useful when I'm at work
I hope Motorola keeps a regular nearly-Pixel update schedule with this thing

Man I hope it gets at least one major OS update but they seem dedicated to foldables so... who knows...
Another week on with this thing and I am still very impressed. The screen hasn't changed in terms of the bumps and still looks great. I keep this in a jeans pocket and so far the hinge hasn't attracted lint. The small screen has been amazing and discreet.
I have taken up playing Pokemon Crystal on the small outer screen. You can offset the controls to one side and play one handed. I feel like a kid again playing on such a small compact device. I have also found that Among Us works on the screen with no issues but might be too hard to see for some.
So far so good!
Oh, and I ordered a case for it but isn't coming for another couple weeks.. I can't find any decently prices case for this in the US.

I'm waiting for Spigen to come through

Wow

I've owned (and still own) quite a few tablets in this life of mine. Most made by our friends at Samsung. A Lenovo here and there for good measure but mostly all Sammies. My favorite up until the last purchase was my 12.2 inch Tab Pro but I have to say this Galaxy Tab S7 Plus has easily become my all time favorite and not just that but I stand in awe of this f*&([email protected]!^ thing...First of course is that jaw dropping screen. I have the 49" ultra wide 144Hz pc monitor so I know of Sammie's Display Prowess but Holy S*(% I can't stop looking at it! Next was the ease that I was able to get the thing rooted and refilled with my Google apps and crap, no hassles.Hey Im sure that Samsung has a reason they asked so much for their Keyboard Folio for this tablet but I passed on that and picked up an RGB Backlit, Stylus Holding beauty off Amazon for about 50 bucks. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08DHNRGYC/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 (and not a minute too soon I'm sure) as me and glass/breakable electronics have a terrible history together, I always buy cases...now I just cant wait each day to use it for jotting down production lists at work or playing "Table Tennis " like games on it .
Samsung, as one of those "weirdos" who even though I've spent a sh*&load on my PC and I have the latest Android Phone I still find a need for a device "in-between" with Tablet properties ( I always have loved tablets) I'm not quite sure why but THANK YOU for scratching that itch so well with the S7+!
Ps: I also own an Intel core i7 2019 made Lenovo Laptop that I still use frequently. Its a Windows environment , the tablet is Android, all bases covered LOL.

Does the keyboard you purchased have a mouse pad? The link you provided didn't work for me.

Galaxy Watch 4 Classic has arrived (Germany)

My Galaxy Watch 4 Classic arrived this morning at 10:30.
It was a surprise for me, I was expecting a parcel from Samsung with a new case and Smarttags for my S21 Ultra so was not really paying attention to the DHL emails, but an additional box came with 4 Classic inside.
I thought it may be just luck because I am 5 minutes away from Samsung Germany head office but looking at Reddit seems a few people have them today or shipped today.
So far it is very nice, cannot choose Google Assistant yet but happy so far.

Cool. Looks sharp

Yeah my 46mm Classic in Silver arrived today, a week early.....
Not complaining although the straps havent arrived yet and I hate this silicon white one!

I have the standard strap but think I might get the leather one when it's available.

My black Watch 4 has arrived and it's a definite upgrade from my Watch 2. Good to have a blood oxygen monitor. And great being able to use Gpay instead of the clunky Samsung Pay Plus. Also useful having Google Keep Notes and Google Maps on the watch. Not sure about battery life...seems to drain pretty quickly. But I've been playing around with it a lot and it's early days.

Yup, happy to have Notes and Maps.
Still would prefer Fit over Samsung Health but not everything will work in there directly even if you can install and choose as primary.
Batter has gone from 100% to 58% for me in 6.5 hours..
Including setup and play time, 20 minutes tracked walk and always on screen.

I was going to order the Classic in Silver but didn’t like the white straps. I noticed on the main page there where two silver options. The other silver option was for the watch with no straps. I ordered it and the black leather strap. Both watch and strap arrived yesterday. Two separate boxes. The watch box was sealed but inside the watch had fingerprints all over it. There was no protective film on the display.
Has anyone else received a grubby watch and do was there any protective film over the display?
I cleaned up the watch and fortunately there were no scratches. Attached the straps and it looks good. Not sure about the battery life but I will give it a few days.

Maybe because you did the choosing watch and strap thing?
Could be lack of watch on its own at launch so they have to remove band manually?
Although should not make them take film off.
Mine had plastic film over screen and box fully sealed.

Mine had protective film on screen.

Congrats! Looks sweet!
I have the black 44mm pre-ordered and due August 27... can't wait!

i agree with you, google pay , maps and keep are really welcome but also google messages and gboard are great additions
unfortunately after a couple of days i must say that the battery drain is increased compared to the active2 but it's worth it!
