I'm looking for a thin lightweight stand for my Nexus 7 for use on a train, ideally, something that fits easily in a pocket.
I have an Anker stand for home use, but it's a bit thick and heavy for travel.
I've also looked at cases, things like the Poetic or Moko don't seem stable or sturdy enough and add too much weight and size.
What do you recommend?
Look up Square Jellyfish on amazon. Works very good, small and light weight.
Just noticed the nexus 7 is much bigger than the average phone. But still give them a try.

Both of those stands seem less pocketable than my Anker stand

I was hoping for something smaller and lighter weight.
How about this one? Fits in a wallet easily size of credit card. Saw one on Incipio. My droid case didn't include one and I asked them how to get one and they sent me it free.

Nice little kickstand, but it seems one can't order just that, only a set that includes it?

As the Official car mount isn't out till January and currently costs £50 (no way am I paying that much) I decided to go down the cheapo route. So as the Nokia CR-115 proved popular with GS2 users and the Nexus is only 1.8mm wider I ordered one at £5.88.
Can't get any pictures of it in daylight till the weekend so here they are at night.

Out of the box it's an extremely tight fit with the Nexus, but trimming down the generously sized 'cushions' allows for a better fit.
As you'd expect of a Nokia product, it's well designed and built well.
Looks pretty good. I much more prefer the official case design, but not $70 more. haha
Looks like a good idea for me until Brodit release their model. Does it not press the volume button though?
Got this here. Works fine. I personally cut the rubber a bit on both sides.
I thought I take a risk on one of the clingo mounts. My worry was as the back of the phone has rubber texture it wouldn't work well, but very impressed so far..
Do you think I could use this case with a Diztronic TPU case if I cut the rubber enough? Thanks.
I'll be looking for a decent car mount soon
Not seen many good ones about

Yeah I had room to spare with the rubber using this case.
Hi all - I'm eagerly awaiting my HTC One from Costco, and it appears as if it comes with a bundled accessory pack. However, the photo on the Costco website leaves a lot to be desired - I'll be posting details once I get it, but if anyone else wants to jump-start the thread, that would satisfy my curiosity...

Looks like pretty generic essentials from the the pic. Nothing to be overly excited for.

They give you a nice case. Looks and feels exactly like Diztronic. Mine came in smoke color (I got it in store). Also a car charger that doubles as an in wall charger. Some screen protector which I haven't tried. And lastly, a big ass case to put everything in.

Yeah I was surprised at how nice the case actually was, I switch between it and the cruzerlite case I have

Suprisingly the case is pretty slim and looks sturdy , I really like it . Thats the only case i use. Screen protector is very generic though its not even cut to size you have to manually cut it , A generic car charger is included too .
I just ordered one of these universal clip style mounts. I get my N5 tomorrow and the mount on Tuesday. I'll let you guys know how well it works.

Update: Here's an overview of the mount and my thoughts:
My first impressions are good. Good enough that, for about 11 dollars, I ordered a second one just now.
It mounts to smooth surfaces via a very grippy suction cup. It has some sort of sticky coating on the rubber. Once it's stuck it's not going to come off very easily. The phone itself is held by a giant spring-loaded clip, which has a nice amount of tension.
(excuse the quality of my GNex camera )

All the ports and buttons are still accessible while mounted.
I'm using it in conjunction with a Spigen Slim Armor case. The angled edges of the case fit the clamp very nicely.
There's a swiveling ball-joint on the back that lets you position it how you please. You can even tilt it far enough so you can use the camera without it being blocked.

Overall, it's a pretty good mount for the price. It is all plastic, though. So it might wear out or break over time, but it's so cheap that replacing it won't be a big deal. As a cheap universal mount, I recommend it. :good:
Them type thing I found wobble around a lot, hope it OK for you though

Here's hoping.
It was cheap enough to give it a try.
I received the mount today. Just updated my original post with a quick review.

I got both bumper cases mentioned in that thread, and they're identical. They're also cheap plastic junk.

Well I had also the one but I did not have nice experience with it...I found it quite cheaper one and just looking to replace it..with some hard case...very bad experience....
It claims " Increase antena reception of Nexus 5". I wonder how that is? Then again it also says Verizon nexus 5 lol.

I blason and abacus, yes.
This case just arrived and I'm certainly disappointed. The buttons are devoid of any click feel and the back of the case where my fingers rest feels a little rough around the edges. On the flip side it will keep the phone elevated off flat surfaces while offering marginal protection. My favorite aspect is how minimalist it looks, it's a plain unadorned bumper case that works with the Nexus 5's design aesthetic.

I bought a case from eBay and want to make everybody aware of it. I'm always buying cases and this is my favourite by far!
Has a very nice feel to it, perfect fit, very strong material and looks great.
It came from Hong Kong so took about 2 weeks to come to me in Northern Ireland bit it was well worth the wait.

Is that the soft jacket xpose case? Capdase makes decent cases, I've owned their cases for my iPod and iPhone and look great too is it hard enough to scratch the corners while taking off and putting back on?
Looks really similar to the cruzerlite cases.

I'm sure this case looks and feels great, but I seriously would not want to drop my phone while using that.
I don't worry about dropping it, never dropped a phone before.
I have it on and off on a daily basis and no scratches at all or else I wouldn't use it.

Here's my exact link. Took a few weeks to come though

Looks ugly imo. Sorry case manufacturers, I don't want to see your name from your $10 case on my $450 phone.
the last picture is very bad photoshopped! :laugh:
