ipod and Orbit (case/covers) - P3300, MDA Compact III General

Just thought I would a point of interest. The fact that the 5th gen ipod and the xda orbit share a very similar shape and size. Why is that important? well if you are prone to crazy thoughts of going for a run or bike ride then the two can both utilise the same case/holders (just).
I have a nice sports arm strap for my ipod (out running etc) and now find it is perfect for my Orbit too.
On the 'case' subject, just got this leather case and it is a perfect item - can recommend.

I know, I stumbled over it by accident and like you say the price! plus the quality screen protector that normally sells for 10 euros alone.
It is very well made item, makes the Orbit for me.

Well I was thinking of investing in one of these kits - anyone any experience of the products within?

Hi,
I have the vertical flip case and their cradle. Both good quality and do the job.
I am changing my case to one of these

but that is purely a personal choice rather than because the case of poor quality.

Silicone Case for O2 Exec, SPV M5000, i-mate JASJAR, MDA Pro

I have many of this for sale. Please search for my username, chaiwat_t, if this item number has been sold. It got a good review in my country so hope you like it.
http://cgi.ebay.com/Silicone-Case-O...864428709QQcategoryZ48673QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem
I'm interested - are there any published reviews?
So am I. I'm curious what the white version looks like. Any pics?
They have it here : http://www.boxwave.com/products/flexiskin/flexiskin-qtek-9000_722.htm
In 5 different colors for 27.95$. Can everyone with experience in silicon cases comment about it being a dust hugger? I heard it gets dirty easily but i don't have personal experience.
If it is that bad (the dust) how come they still sell?
I am using one myself for my SPV M5000 and it's not a dust hugger. Anyway, it's normal that if you use the black color, you'll notice the dust easier. It's the same for everything in black color, I think.
I've not seen any reviews yet but you can ask tho who had bought it from me (via eBay).
It makes my life less heavy as other cases make this giant like a big brick while this siliconse case just adds a litte weight to it.
I'll be doing a review soon. And the alumium grey is the best one as far as Jasjar's are concerned as i was told the skin blends very well with the original color.
If you have an exec, then i suggest you go for the clear version, thats your best bet.
Docc.

How much are you selling them with shipping to Madrid, Spain included? In €uros preferably.
I've never used ebay. Where is your link? Thanks

Can you please post the link to the seller? Also is that 24€ international postage? I live in Madrid, Spain
I used the link in the first post. Check it out .You have to pay in advance with paypal. I paid 24 euros and am waiting for the delivery (tony_ix: any idea how long that'll take?). This includes postage to the Netherlands (price is GBP 9,49 and 5,99 postage: is about E24) . If I'm wrong, I'm sure tony_ix can give some more info, since he's selling them.
Please do let us know how it fits. One concern of mine is that some of the cut outs might not correspond to the actual holes. If you could possibly post some pictures, that would be very nice.
Yes, that's true. The photos on the boxwave site show that the videocam hole is not exactly in line
For more photos...
http://www.pda4thai.com/modules.php?name=News&file=article&sid=1333
There is no issue of cutouts not correspond to the actual holes.
ng, I have no picture of the unit with the white color at the moment. From the items sold, the black color is the most popular.
Is there anyway of getting one of these without using ebay or paypal?
Hi,
When I get this case, I won't be able to be of any use as to how the case will fit, since I don't have my device yet . I still have to wait some time before the end of my subscription before I can go get the universal. I bougth this case in eager anticipation. I thought the price was right and figured that by the time I get my device, they would be sold out.
So you'll just have to make do with the pictures online. Based on the pictures I expect it to fit well, also with the cut-outs. I was also not too fond of the flexiskin pictures showing the holes out of allignment. I do hope it will color ok, since I'm going to get the silver mda pro, but I that's just esthaetics.
I was wondering: based on the pictures of this silicone case, would it be of any help in the "keyboard marks" issue, since the case will add an extra strip around the border of the keyboard. This is pure speculation ofcourse, but an optimistic one. Any thoughts?
N
Regarding the keyboard scratchs, i wonder the same thing, any ownser of this skin care to comment?
Riceburner,
Please email me if you want to try paying in another way.
About the keyboard, I think if the skin covers the keyboard, then you'll find it hard to see the alphabet on it and that is pain. I like it to have the cutout for the keyboard.

Yes, but is it thick enough (the case) that the screen part doesn't touch the keyboard? Check this forum for xda exec case marks and you'll see what i mean. The upper part of the device (which is where the screen is) has shiny "dots" that correspond to the keys as they rub against eachother. Normally only the upper part of the screen. Just want to know if the "frame" of the silicon case is thick enough to prevent this to happen as there are a lot of people with the device for more than a month that have seen this symptom
its amazing... the screen is not touching the keyboard
the material feels very soft and strong at the same time
i did not expect it to be so perfect it fits like a glove
if yu guys want any particular fotos pls pm me and i'll try my best to provide
i would recomd this case to any one using the universal...
as i have the jasjar it looks a bit weird because it does not cover the hinge on the outside otherwise excellent case

Tripod?

With such good video, I'm really keen to get a tripod, or at least a tripod adapter.
Can anyone recommend something? I realize an 'official' tripod is probably not on the cards, but maybe a 'generic' model you can recommend?
Thank you!
http://joby.com/gorillamobile/original/
That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
Is that confirmed working? I ask because to me the textured back on the SGSII seems like it would be a problem for a suction cup.
Anybody got a tripod solution that is working? I really need an accessory for this, and all the ones I see on Ebay and similar only work to the width of 62mm.
I know I'm pimping it everywhere at the moment, but I'm really impressed with my Breffo SpiderPodium. Would work quite well as a tripod, I'd have thought,
Thanks, to be honest I was looking at it for just that purpose last night... hmmn, could be doable.
Unfortunately the Joby model is not avail in the UK - and buying it from the US would be a 12 quid shipping fee... on something that already cost 25 quids.
So I'm back to square one...
I need this aswell, but still couldn't find a good one. If I want to buy the joby, which one should I buy? I've only seen those for iPhone. Seen the universal, but I don't think we can use it for SGS II.

It is available from various places, John Lewis being one. However, the cheapest I could find is £25 from the below link.

Sadly, no, they have various models, and this is the SLR model. The model for the SGS2 would be the mobile one with the suction cup and the two adhesive pads. While you can get a gorilla pod in the UK (amazon), the mobile kit doesn't seem to be available.
Hi everyone - I finally found that Joby Mobile in the UK. cost was only 11.99 inc delivery. I must say I took a gamble, because the site doesn't look very professional - it's http://www.7dayshop.com.
But they charged my card correctly and I received the tripod within the week, so all is well than ends well
Now the question is 'does it work' and the answer is a resounding 'yes!'. The suction cup takes time to get accustomed to but once you get the hang of it works perfectly. I'm using a rubber phone cover, so I guess this helps. If you don't have any luck with the suction cup, it also comes with adhesive pads (non marking) and finally it also comes with the standard camera attachment so you don't have to carry two tripods.
I must say for 11.99 I'm very pleased!
thanks for sharing your experience.. might get one as well

Stilgut ultra slim case

Hey guys
Has anybody got the case below?
Any thoughts on it?
Is it worth the 45 quid?

I bought a case just like this one and I'm really happy with it . Only difference? I got mine for less then one third of the price (it is a no-brand... but it looks the same as the pictures in your link and it's really great).
For more info, look at the thread talking about the one I got (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1338546). Also, if you wish to check pictures/price here's an ebay link where I bought it from (http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123).
[Edit] Just spotted a difference on the pictures (at least I believe it is). The case you posted has leather on the "inside" of the case too, whereas my case has... dunno, something else . I'm guessing the all leathery look would be nicer, but that's the difference between a no-brand and a branded name I guess.
The best part about this case is that you can actually keep your Tab in it all the time, even when you want to use the camera or charge the device. This is very important to me as I carry it around all the time and my little brother and sister use my Tab from time to time, and of course they aren't as careful with it as I am. Having it in a case all the time definitely helps me relax when I see them handling my precious device

Check the forums, this same case is sold under many different names, so several people have started threads. II got it for $15 american (and they refunded that after I left a good review). Best case for the tab, but 45 quid (@$70) is insanely overpriced.
I have it. But as sad before you can have it for less money.
I've had mine about a month now,
Ok it's not the cheapest but considering what it's protecting is ten times the value of the case it's worth it. It's not the first case I've used but it's the best so far, well made, solid and sturdy.
The different angle positions are very useful.
As mentioned before it's not the cheapest but neither is my tab, so to me it's worth the extra few quid.
Hope this helps.
get the clip case from pyro skins, it's just the same one but much cheaper...
I got the one from Amazon branded Moko, but looks the same. Paid $18 US for it, and I absolutely love it.

Phillips AS111

If anyone is looking for a decent dock, I just purchased the Phillips AS111, and I LOVE it!
It got mixed reviews over at Amazon, mostly about bad bluetooth connection and the poor quality of the Fidelo app. The Fidelo app is pretty bad, it's the app thats used to pair the phone to the dock. It also has some alarm and music streaming features. I only use Fidelo to automatically turn on bluetooth and pair to the dock when it gets plugged in (so I do not have to press any buttons when I put it on the dock, which is cool). Other than that feature, I use other third party apps for my alarm and music.
As for the bad bluetooth connection, I could not disagree more. I've had it connected for about a total of 24 hours now, playing music, with NO problems.
Sound quality is actually surprisingly good for a small dock, not audiophile grade but good! Dock is great quality, not cheap. Clock is three stage dimmable, and the dock also had a cool orange night light, which is two stage dimmable or can be turned completely off.
One problem I had with this dock is using it with a case. I have the Speck Candyshell, and I had to use a saw to cut a little bit of the plastic away from the docking part itself, and it doesn't look the best... but its a small piece of plastic, and it functions, and thats all that matters to me.
If anyone is looking for a good dock, I recommend this one!
Heres a link to Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Philips-AS111-37-Fidelio-Docking/dp/B005HY4UOG
I have the bigger dock by Phillips and I love the thing.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I747 using xda premium
Yeah despite it's mixed reviews, I am very pleased as well. Glad I took the plunge and bought it! It's relatively cheap too... I am willing to buy one of the bigger ones now
I got the middle modle, bigger than the clock but not the 150 dollar one. The middle model is 56$ on ebay right now, a refurb seller has a bunch in stock. Refurbs are almost always superior to new, cheaper and the things that would have broken are broken and fixed already.
im thinking to buy one, but i think i will go for the as351
I got the AS111 on sale at target for $39.99 and couldnt be happier, pretty classy looking for the price, love the light ring that glows around it... I never used the app so I couldnt comment, but for the price and the size, the sound quality over BT is quite good. I have an SGP neo hybrid case and its too thick to be used with the dock... But I dont really mind as i have a Sony dash alarm plus a Griffin Ipad stand which works perfectly with the S3 (http://www.amazon.com/Griffin-WaveS...1347091244&sr=8-5&keywords=griffin+ipad+stand). I ended up placing the AS111 in my bathroom.

Which one would you choose?
Just in case anyone is interested I got the first one, Though I was really thinking about the one with the samsung logo.

I have the first one in green. Love the colour but it does have a single button magnet on the strip that serves to secure the flip cover. Overall very minimal in design, very slim and lightweight!
Not sure about the other two but the 3rd one is cool for its rotation. Just note that you need some space in front to lay out the support.
One X to rule them all
