I just saw this posted. I picked one up. I have been on the fence for a smart watch. This pushed me over!
https://store.google.com/product/moto_360
Me too
I just saw this on Phandroid. I'm on my way home to order one.
Just saw this on Droid Life. If you root the watch, what can you do with it? Is it an improvement?
Just picked one up as well to try out Android wear. Been using the Microsoft Band for about a year and want to try something different.
Picked one up too. Why not? For $100, I'd say win win.
some carriers (Verizon, AT&T) also has this price listed on their webpage now.
I bought a silver one and a steel monolink band for $135. I've been wanting one since they hit $150, but now its perfect.
After just one day of use I can't imagine not having the Moto 360 on my wrist.
After buying a couple of cheep clone u8's (I gave them to my brothers sons) I got a moto 360 and got it figured out. It is very cool. now just waiting on the glass screen protector to get in. Now I just have to find a used 360 on the cheep to mod and play with.
I have one for sale
I picked one up too, just got it yesterday. I am pretty impressed. I actually put it to good use today at work and ended a 12hr day with 32% battery left.
This isn't my first Smartwatch, but I think this one might end up being my favorite one.
SONY MBW-150 - very awesome with the OpenWatch application designed to run on Android 2.3. Sadly all MBW-150's were prone to a fading OLED display. I still have this watch and it works, but the display is so faint it can't be seen.
Sony LiveView -Biggest piece of junk ever. Never did work right... constantly lost connection.
Wimm One Great watch, I had high hopes for them, but Google bought them and they ceased all operation. Probably a lot of what the Wimm One was, ended up in Android Wear. The watch eventually bit the dust after about a year due to sweat eating away at the back.
And now I am onto the Moto 360. It's good to be back!
As an owner since last October, I'd say it's definitely worth it
Darn...out of stock.
I wish I would have seen this... I am debating right now between the Asus Zenwatch 2 and the Moto 360 1st Gen as they are both $150.00. I really like the Champagne / Brown Leather one on Motorola.com right now.
Anywhere else have them on sale for $100? If I can get one for $100 that would definitely make up my mind for me. I like the Zenwatch 2 better when the display is off, but those damn bezels are making it hard on me to decide.
I picked on up on black friday from best buy to test it out; the battery didn't last 5 hours not sure why. I do love the way that it looks on my wrist...absolutely beautiful. Best buy price was $145
Just got this one for 79.00 shipped . I have the sport i just needed a dressier one.

Hello Folks,
So the GumDrop Drop Series case for the Galaxy Tab 10.1 is currently in preorder status on GumDrops website but I recieved a response from them indicating that the cases will be in stock on August 25.
Wanted to let everybody know who is interested in a Rugged type case for the Galaxy Tab and is shaping up to be one of the better rugged cases but were hesitate how long they would be waiting in preorder status....

$60 bucks is expensive though, wish there was a flap for screen
Yeah, but I guess a positive is that the price includes a integrated screen protector which can be snapped out and replaced or not used at all for ppl that may not like screen protectors or already have one installed.
That and the similar style otterbox for the iPad 2 and Xoom is around $89.00
They've turned the Tab into a Toshiba Thrive!

Anybody heard anything more about when these are due to ship? Wanted to order the military case but wish it came in a color other than the ACU green. So I just ordered Black/Black. Really hoping they ship these soon.
Yeah, that is pretty hideous.
On the GumDrop website it just says "Late September" so not sure on the exact date.
It looks like both the regular and the military style have been delayed a bit so I hope it isnt pushed back again.
Also, I wish they would have gone with a Coyote Brown style for the military color as they would look extremely cool as opposed to the "Nickelodeon Slime Green" for the current military version.....
Agree...a flat dark earth or coyote would have looked better. Or multicam lol. Just hope they start shipping soon. Dont feel like putting too much wear and tear on the tab yet.

That case sure looks like it'll add quite a bit of bulk and weight to the tab. I'm still considering between using a case and caseless.
Are these cases for children? Looks like it.
They are for anyone that might drop their tab on a hard surface from 2 or more feet up.
If that includes children, then I guess you could say that.
BTW, the Black color one is now shipping with the other colors coming in September 30th.
I ordered yesterday and will post a review for all the children of the world to read when it comes in.
I remember someone was looking for a Note 2 portable stand. I just got this one for my Nexus 7, but it works great for Note 2 as well in both landscape and portrait modes. VERY sturdy design, and folds nicely into a compact stick. High quality construction, lightweight, and will work for any large phone and tablets from 7" to 10"+.
http://www.arkon.com/tablet-accessories/tablet-stand.html - and you can actually get it at Amazon for $8 plus change where it has over 1k reviews with an average 4.75 rating.

I was just getting stands for my kids tablets, and went to order more Arkons stands from my above review. Been using those for Note 2, Nexus 7, and noticed my wife using it for cook books. These holding up really well since March and took a lot of kids abuse. Its on amazon for $7.15, great deal I thought to share with you guys.

I can back this up. I have one of these and although it isn't the smallest, it's fantastic. very stable and adjustable for a wide range of sizes and positions. I have had it for over a year and travel daily with it. I'm not gentile but not abusive. It's well worth the money IMO.
Nift idea. Have one for my tablet but never thought about using it for my note ii.
Btw, as a warning. Make sure when you shop on Amazon you check who is the actual seller. It gets so confusing with different choices. Apparently there are counterfeit Arkon stands sold under the main listing from other suppliers (especially from sellers in China). Those come in a white box with some graphics on it. These knock offs are of a poor quality. The real Arkon product will come in a clear package. I didn't even realize that until start reading some of the comments on Amazon and contacted Arkon with a question. That's how I learned about knock offs
I have a silly video of it in action:
Notice the "trademark" blue coat hanger that I use. I will release pictures of the second generation soon (I actually made it more than 6 months ago, but never got around to sharing it).
Should I make a tutorial? I kinda came up with this specific method of mounting the phone myself, so I assume other people can DIY a mount their own way.
wow .. nice
Here is the second one. I am moving away from the Bluetooth Mini Keyboard, mainly because it doesn't have any shoulder buttons/bumpers/triggers. I will make one for the PS3 Sixaxis controllers next.

I may have been a year too late with this post...
Did you use hangers?
A tutorial would be fine. I have a Bluetooth keyboard rolling for my room since a year
Yes, I did use hangers. I might make a tutorial next week.
In the meantime, here is another picture:
Bump
Here is an all in one picture of all the generations I have made since late 2009. I bought a pack of 10 coat hangers back then, and I finally used them all up yesterday. I used two hangers for the hinged 2nd and 5th generations, and wasted two in failed attempts.
The number in the top left corner indicates generation.

Yes, that's why I specifically buy the bendable ones.
^This is the 4th gen without the Galaxy S2 in flip case
Looks really awesome and creative!
It's great fun! Both to make and to use.
I hope it's not too late to post in this thread, but this selfmade case is great. :good:
I'm also working on something likle this for Android devices. In my opinion flippable cases with an integrated keyboard/controller are the best for gaming, since they are portable, which "GameKlip" controllers aren't - just as an example.
So like I said, I'm working on such a case for the Nexus 5. Any advice, what gamepad might be flat enough to fit? The whole construction should work like Nintendo's "DS" consoles (except that the phone doesn't need 2 screens, but I guess it's clear what I mean all in all. ).
Well, I think the whole thing should still be closable, which seems to be a problem at the moment, but finding a solution might be a big step for portable gaming.
Thanks for any reply and opinions.
Finally a smart watch that takes style in consideration, more here http://www.androidcentral.com/hands-moto-360 the concept of a watch that connects with your phone is a bit frivolous i suppose, but it's kinda like a kid's dream come true in a sense, if you were a kid that watched too many James Bond flicks like myself.

But of all the models released so far the only one that actually pleased me design-wise was a freaking case for the iPod nano, all the android variants looked cheap or clunky until this one. Sadly there's no price, release date or even concrete details on hardware but it's already a winner judging by the looks to me.
I must add that mororola has grown so much in the last few years, the Moto X/G/E line of phones is fantastic and if this watch is a sign of things to come I can't wait to see what's next for them.
I looked at the LG and Samsung Watches which are available now I think, I thought they looked really ugly. But this one looks proper classy. Might have to purchase I think, depending on the price.
Sent from my Moto G on MoKee, using XDA app.
Looks the best of all options I have seen so far. I could be tempted. The rumor running around it that it will be released same time as the Moto X+1, in the August to September timeframe. Since I'm due for a new work phone, I'm actually more interested in the X+1 than the watch. Funny I always wore a watch daily until about 6 to 8 years ago when I started to rely 100% on my blackberry. Now I'm considering a watch to support my phone? I will probably resist the temptation and spend the $ on beer.
any confimation how it will charged ? (QI wireless)
how long it will last on one charging ?

Yes, QI from people that saw it at Google IO. No battery tests that I know of yet, but I would imagine they would shoot for 2 to 3 days of light use.
leather and metal bands
yeah, not much else to add so far
patiently awaiting news
can't wait to have one :silly:
Holy ****, shut up and take my money !
It probably won't be waterproof.
So I'd go with the pebble steel... But on the other side, I want android wear... However, the 360 and the G would be an awesome duet, ironically the watch will probably be the more expensive device....

Ip67 means it's immune to water for about thirty minutes in water with a max depth of four feet.
You can't go swimming with it, whilst the pebble is totally water resistant.

Read at PCMag that Best Buy has leaked the specs and price (around 250$). Anyway, Motorola will announce it as well as 2 new smartphones (2nd Moto G? and Moto X+1 probably).
Any release date yet ?
On the IFA they said in October for 249 €.
I am currently rocking Pebble and I am completely in love with the idea of smartwatch.
360 looks aweeeesooome, but I have concerns.
The first one is battery. The Pebble works for around 3-4 days normally, which I think is ook. But if the 360 will be able to run only for a day (as nost smartphones do) I think it will ruin the smartwatch experience.
The second one is that I live in Latvia and moat of my communication happens in Latvian. Seeing that google concentrated on bringin Google Now as the main interaction way, voice input unsupported languages will miss a loot of the functionality of the device and generally will lack the functions in different regions.

That's about the pricing I was hoping for, so that's a definite yes on my half. Can't wait! Even if that's not the pricing for it, I'll still probably fork over the extra for it.
Hell yeah!
How did you find that? Good catch...

This is a great price, I was thinking it would be in the $300 range but this is just icing on the cake for the features it packs!

Yes indeed. Hoping to get it the day the become available!
For a smartwatch? Ehh, I'm a bit more on the border about dropping 250 for that. It's cool, but certainly not worth it.
Eh.. it looks really nifty, and I'd love to have it. But if I were to spend $250 on this, I would feel kind of devastated inside because for $250 (and $50 more), I can get something like the new Nvidia Shield Tablet, or a Nexus 7.
I was pretty damn happy with $250 [emoji33]
Do you think this will be available in stores the day of release?
$250 is the right price point for me i hope its available day of announcement
$250 was the amount that I decided would be cutoff, anymore than that didn't seem worth it, so I'm glad it is right on point. I will be getting this watch the second it is available.
I think I'll end up visiting the local BB on release day in the hopes of getting one. $250 isnt a bad deal IMO. I love my tech toys.
REALLY hoping there's not a delay for retailers such as Best Buy.
Know there have been rumors about multiple options via Moto Maker. I just want the silver one, and I have my own bands to change if I choose to do so. BUT, if Moto Maker gets a significant exclusivity-window, I'll be annoyed. A day or 2 is ok, but week+ is ridiculous. They've delayed this enough. I just want to use my $50 Best Buy gift card!! hahaha.
On the Android Wear G+ community, someone "in the know" posted that the watch would be ready for internet order only on Sept 5th.

I wonder if that will be for pre-order or if they will be shipping..?
The only thing that makes me think that the Moto360 won't be physically available on announcement day is this...
I got bored and searched Amazon for accessories for the Moto 360. About 10-12 screen protectors popped up from different venders. All of them had the same date for product shipping availability... October 18. I wouldn't care otherwise but they all picked the same exact date.

Maybe Production hasn't started for accessories... i doubt they would send a dummy to then yet... maybe specifications but I dunno...
Looks great, but in my opinion is expensive for a watch that will get old in only months.
That's like saying your phone will only get old in months
