I though that it looked familiar!
Why couldn't they just make a SWR50 holder.. why push the price up and package the bloody watch with it?!?

Because they have to make it look like something *THEY* made.. who would buy it (for a no doubt inflated price) if you knew you could get the same function for less than $200 straight from Sony...

superstition springs or fiesta mall?
either way, if you work there or have connections you need to tell them to open earlier.

Was the Fiesta location... not an employee, phone guy just showed me the memo cause I asked.
Yeah, 10am sucks... but my appointment isn't until 11 anyways, so not a biggie for me.
Do you have any idea of prices on them?

they called me today, apparently they are opening at 7:30AM for the phone. which is considerably earlier then the 10AM they told me before, which probably means they have had significantly more preorders then anticipated.
and im numero uno for my 7:30 appointment.
i had chance to look at the case, they had seidio case purple and black and listed at $29, they also had zagg invisible shield.
My store in Miami is opening at 7am. I have a 715 appt. The rep told me they'll only have the BodyGlove case and another item i cant remember now but it was not big deal. No 3rd party cases/docks/screen protectors/etc.
my best buy sucks i preordered the same day they were taking preorders and in my yellow receipt it said pick up in the 5th of june.
I preordered my EVO at the radio shack at arizona mills mall. They are letting people pick them up at 9am. Radio shack will also have accessories available.
Anyone get a call from their Best Buys about accessory bundles being made available and a free bluetooth?
Best buy called me today to confirm my reservation then tried to sell me a Zagg invisishield, by telling me they would install it for me before hand so it would be ready for me when I picked it up. First I was pissed off by the sales pitch...
$20 for the shield and $7 for the installation (bubble free from what they tell me)... worth it?
Chris
i got my invisible shield for my Hero installed at Best Buy, it was worth it, esp for the full body one. They guarantee their work, witch is why i did it.

idk, i watched a bunch of videos of an install of zagg shield and it seems very easy to do and get right, considering you can re-lay it if you need to, unlike the sticky ones.
I would have them do it for $7...
It's annoying as hell imo...
Every Invisible Shield I've had started to come up after a while... what about that? Does BB fix that or say "that's your problem"...
Yup BB says I'll get a free bluetooth (that i wont use) and if I buy the zagg on launch day they install free.
So Best Buy has the Seidio Innocase for the EVO?
EDIT: Yep, they do. Not called Innocase Surface, but under the name Platinum Series case. Great case!
Not so much of an Evo accessory, but I picked up the Jabra bluetooth speakerphone from BB along with my phone. It does speakerphone and FM transmission. I'm really impressed with that bad boy. The media navigation buttons even worked with Pandora. When you select "FM", it tells you what station to tune to.
It's cool but it's an uncool $99! (seems worth it to so far for anyone without bluetooth already in their car)

A NEW accessory!

I was torn on posting this in the accessories or the Q&A area, but, here goes.
We have an "exciting" new accessory for the Note. Now you can legally work
"hands free" in your car or office, without using a bluetooth, or wired headset!
Saw this on TV, so it must be a good one. And, act now, and you'll get TWO for the price of ONE (just pay separate process & handling of course)
It can even hold the weight of a FIVE POUND laptop! Wow! You can "hands free" your laptop to your ear! Cool!!
(If you don't understand humor, that is what I think of this)
LOL...probably only works with the iJunk, since our phones have a textured
back hahaha.
https://www.gojohandsfree.com/
hahahahaha.....is a good idea....i would buy this lol=))
You've shown the deluxe model, you should have given us an option for the cheaper model, picture attached. LOL
Maybe that is the "standard" model for phones other than iJunk LOL.

Haha, I was certain this was a joke...
I guess only in America can something unintentionally be a perfect parody of itself.

not sure if its true.. its supposedly a scam?
Imagine the Note stuck up on your face with that
Armor plated cheek FTW!!
Hm...you still need to pick up and answer your phone before attaching that thing and that is still illegal when driving in The Netherlands.
It still looks like a smart design though
LMAO ... nice accessory it really compliments the NOTE's size
Btw, muslim women have this feature built-in, I've seen them tucking it inside their scarf/burqos.
LMAO.. holy hell...
Will it hold a bottle of vodka?

UtorCase Controller mount for PS3, PS4, 360 and One mini review and pics!

This review is for a Sony Xperia Z Ultra, but UtorCase is tailor made for over a thousand other smartphones at https://www.shapeways.com/shops/utor-case where you can search for your phone name. If you cannot find your phone just shoot an email to the UtorCase designer, that is how I finally got one made for my extra large Phone. :laugh:
Disclaimer:
I have been nagging the designer for a Xperia Z Ultra version for a long time and finally he did it. I bought it on my own money first but after chatting with him as he wanted me to let him know how I liked it, I commented that I was going to post a review of it and he offered to refund my money for me taking the time to post a review. So, I like to make this clear because even though I am a LONG time member here and never have tried to do shady businesses, well..someone is always going to be a smart ass about it.
So with that said...Greetings!
So, as I have a BIG phone, the Xperia X Ultra, I have been looking for a way to play my games with a PS3 controller (specially emulators). Unfortunately the ones like MOGA that I was using before cannot hold my Phone plus I much prefer the PS3 controller.
So finally I found this UtorCase design which is simple and effective. As you can see by the pics, you just wrap this around your controller and it locks in perfectly.
If it can hold my phone when lying on bed to play games then it can hold any phone!
Please notice in the close of up pictures that my phone wont fit perfectly because I have a glass protector which adds .4 thickness and YET, as you can see on one of the pictures, it is so good at keeping it in place that even when not fully fitting, I can play with it lying on bed without it falling off. :good:
The material is also very light and gives the impression of not being tough yet it is.
Of course with anything designed for one single device there is always the situation of when you upgrade the phone you must buy another but to me, I dont upgrade right away since usually you need to wait a generation after yours to get real improvements and for all the enjoyment I will get from it, it is well worth the money.
Thanks for reading! :good:
Honestly I think this product is over priced, as a brand new Linx 7 only costs £39.99 in UK and this piece of plastic will cost £23 includes shipping, bearing mind, it is only a pure piece of plastic regardless how awesome this idea it is. I'm not going to buy one but good luck if you have already god it.

mmmm considering you are replying to this TWO YEARS later, things have probably changed on the market.
Plus I dont see how first one item relates to the other because I dont see that tablet you are mentioning holding my controller. At the time there were pretty much no alternatives for this phone and a controller so you know...supply and demand.
Also, I dont see how shipping charges are at the sellers fault. You live in UK and I doubt international buyers were his primary target.
In any case, not sure why you say "good luck if you already got it"...I mean I provided photos of it holding my phone and did a review of it which I thought you have read before posting but looks like you didnt read much...

Moto 360 bumper case 3D printed

I haven't seen anyone post this on XDA and I thought this is was different. sorry if already posted
below I have the quote from the original posting from the seller. DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation to the seller nor do I know him!
ogdobber said:
I've designed two simple snap on cases for the Moto 360 that I hope will offer some extra protection to the glass face. Right now there is a short and tall version. The short is just 0.3mm over above the glass and the tall is 1.5mm above.
I've been wearing the short one in black since Thursday and have been happy with it from a fit and look standpoint. The matte black next to the stainless ring on the front looks great. And the tall version should be here this week and as long as it looks OK i will likely switch to it as i feel like the short one is mostly appearance and not helping to protect the glass at all. Can you tell I'm phobic about scratching the face of this watch?
I have only ordered the black and polished metallic. The black looks great but the metallic looks cheap and I wouldn't willingly wear it.
I'm open to suggestions for changes to shape and design if people would like some other versions. And while i make a few dollars off each of these, this is not a business and I'm never going to open tooling and make these commercially in volume. But i would be really surprised if there are not a dozen phone case makers turning out similar products in a few months. I'm actually wondering why they are not there already? Maybe Motorola didn't release outside dimensions ahead of release like they do for many phones.
If other are interested you can order from here: www (dot)shapeways(dot)(Com)/shops/Raelx[/url]

Great find! I may order the white one.. The only thing Im iffy on, is its covering up the beauty of the silver
Love the idea. but then again, its just more bulk to the watch (which is already big on my smaller wrists)

Like I said, I may order the white one as I feel it looks more like what a watch would be. So maybe get a white band too. More options to match an outfit too.

Short or tall version? This looks very interesting.
This is definitely interesting, I like it. To bad the shipping is almost as much as the case itself. Any discount codes for the site? I think I might just have to order one.
I ordered the matte black one today. I already have a few scratches on the side of the watch and bezel, but I managed to buff them out for the most part. This will help keep it from getting more scratched up I think. I'll post pics once I get it.

Short.
Looks great, I was ready to buy one, but it shows $19.99 for shipping, too much for a package that small.

I just ordered one with USPS First Class shipping total out the door $12.99
That's a reasonable price, the problem is i live in Puerto Rico and it shows $19.99 for ship to a total of $27.99, and some sites think we are international shipping. We have in PR USPS, UPS, Fedex that I use always without problem. Sending a small like that would be like 5 to 6 bucks on USPS.
For example: Yesterday i was going to buy a Amazon Fire TV for my boss, and I was unable to buy, even calling amazon support they told me they cant be shipped to Puerto Rico, and the crazy thing its I have a Fire TV since launch that I bought directly from amazon and received via UPS next day and she saw the order on my history he don't even know how i do it. I have prime and I receive the diapers for my toddler second day via UPS. Crazy stuff LOL
I live in NY so I have asked Shapeway if there is any way I can come pick it up. Their website does mention the fact that they are cool with personal pickups.
Shipping 2 to Florida and only 4.99 for USPS First-Class Shipping

The New Motorola 360 qi enabled watch stand pre order!

Hey xda members, we at Artifex Design have developed a new way to charge your moto 360 watches. Currently there is no stand on the market that is compatible with this watch. We plan on creating the same solution for the moto360 as we did for the huawei watch. The stand will look very similar to our huawei stand ( see attached pics) but will have a qi coil and chip installed inside, allowing the watch to be charged and displayed very nicely at the same time. We plan on releasing this design in full within the next 30-45 days. We have been very successful selling our huawei watch stand, which at its peak was within the top 50 smartwatch stands sold on Amazon! The stand also includes an microfiber pad to protect the hanging band and rubber feet to prevent it from sliding. We will be adding pictures of the actual stand in about a week or so. If you would like to pre order please email us at , the preorders will run 38 USD which includes shipping. Regular price is scheduled it run at 45 without shipping. Looking foward to hearing some feedback from the moto 360 community!
mod edit
Sorry, but why buy this if we can have an already perfect moto360 stand (which looks way better) for the same price and even less than half the price if we buy it from China ?

We appreciate your opinion but that's what it is, your opinion. I personally dislike the factory moto360 stand and there is a demand for other options. It's funny how the first post for our products is a negative post... anyway not everything has to be made in china! We thank everyone who has already inquired about the pre order!
