idea: Battery door with built in kick stand - Captivate Accessories

I'm surprised that our 4" SAMOLED phone doesn't have this option.... or a case with a kickstand. I'd love one for the sheer fact that I can view media and have it as a clock by my bedside.
Maybe we can suggest it to samsung? anyone know how?

You stole that idea from my mind! I would rather see two small feet at one side of the case then the large feet.

Hey guys check the link on my signature.
This is a stand that will fit any phone, with the case or without it.
It has multiple viewing angles, and you can rotate it to set the phone on any of its four sides.
You avoid blocking any ports with the rotation.
It is removable or you can keep it on the phone. It is also very small that u can bring it with you anywhere.

I like it, how many different angles are there for viewing?

You could always find a really small hinge, a spare battery door and a straight thin piece of metal with teeth/notches that lock it in place when it's open or closed and make a prototype. And then sell it to Samsung

I think that it is a great idea, but I am hesitant to think that Samsung would use it for the Captivate. They may use it for the newer phones though.

if this happens i expect to see another patent war between HTC and Samsung.

If only those aftermarket creative directors would just sneak into these forums, I would buy one for sure. My arm gets pretty tired sometimes when lying in bed.

Dock Station

I really want to get a dock station so I can use the Desk Home and maybe watch some movies at work.
Does anyone know where to get one?
samsung accessory page - but they're not available yet
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...one-accessories/index.idx?pagetype=accsubtype
Nah, screw the Home Dock, who needs features like
'charging' and 'audio output' when you can have this little piece of genius:
most useful invention evar
When you're done using it to prop up your phone at work,
you can use it to clean all the **** outta your desk when your boss catches you.
How would you dock a phone that has its power connector on the top... LOL
It slides in sideways. Hence the desk app.
Make a paperclip stand!
I made one of these and it works great for my Vibrant. I have it on my desk at the office and plug the usb into my computer. I've been watching videos during lunch using this thing with no problems.
Can't beat that for $0.01. I did have to make three before I got it just right, so maybe the cost is more like $0.03.
Look at my paperclip stand. Its perfect, I just have to be carefull don't scratch it with the edges.
Ignore this. I dont know how delete a post
I made 3 or 4 of the paper clip ones and just never felt that it was that sturdy. Oh well. Off to the supply room to rumage for supplies.

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.
If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).
it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy
____________________________________________
They had this at walmart. Fits vibrant and galaxy s 4g. Was considering it but it adds some thickness to the phone so decided not to. Only $40 tho

I thought someone posted that the fit was terrible on these? That people had ordered them, but ultimately returned because they were too loose.
EDIT Scratch that... I'm thinking of these http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html

Looks promising, I just don't like the part you slip the Tab into. I hate the way the Tab looks in cases like that. I much prefer the case holding the Tab in place at the four corners or like a true smart case like Apples.

hi, here:

After three days of using it, do not buy, the material stretch so bad i can't reach the volume or power control, can't plug the power with the case close. But mostly is a price of cap, don,t waste your 20 bucks.
My humble opinion

Since when does a ziploc bag constitute as a waterproof case?!

yeah, i can't imagine that it has the wake up and sleep option, and if it does, why on earth don't other covers take advantage of this feature...

anyone have this yet? real curious about the sleep wake functionality.
Quite honestly I have to wonder how hard it is to tap the power button when people want to use the Tab?

it's not hard, but
a) on some cases its on the bottom if you open it a certain way
b) if you can avoid pressing buttons, you can avoid wear and tear on them, I know many people have problems on many different smart phones with the power button wearing out...
Regarding the fact that the button is on the bottom on some cases, what does that have to do with this case if the button isn't on the bottom? Just wondering?
What is everybody talking about? There is no sleep/wake on the Tab

Of course there is. If you check the dealextreme website, a highly reputable distributor of Chinese manufactured stuff, you will see that the product information clearly states that it has the sleep/wake function... Although, come to think of it, I'm guessing most cases come with the ability to operate when you are both awake or asleep... Hmm...

Waterproof case that allows camera use

Hi All,
I'm going on holiday soon to a sunny island and will be out at sea...
Was wondering if there's a case on the market with a see through back that would allow me to use the S3 under water? If so could you please post me a link to where I could buy one?

Easy old trick is a sandwich bag and a little silicone. I know fishermen friends who did that with the Motorola bricks back in the day. But your real issue is the capacitive touch screen. It'll probably not pick up your fingers. Ever tried to use your phone with a drop on the screen? Tends to throw it off.

Geez, $40? IMO, for that kind of price, I think it would be beneficial cost wise to use the sandwich bag gimmick as stated above but find someone with one of those airtight bag sealers to protect the device furthermore. That's pretty much what that dry case is anyway, just in a more easy to use, continual usage, professional looking wrap.

Bike mounts?

Good day all. So, I have been browsing bike mounts and wondered if anyone had suggestions on what would work great for the 7 Pro. Armor-x and Quad Lock were the two I saw. Quad Lock has a great reputation but only a universal mount. Anyone familiar with them? If anyone has other suggestions I would greatly appreciate it.

I had the quadlock for my Note 9 and loved it. I looked into getting the universal adapter but it seems to be picky with what kind of material the case is made of. I instead went to a top tube bag/phone holder just to keep my phone out of my pocket and backpack. Let me know what route you end up going.

Will your phone lie flat on a table with the armor-x case? The quadlock case looks like its bulging at the attachment part, so it seems like the phone will be raised up in the centre, and if you tap the left side of the screen, I would assume the phone would be wiggling.
I like to have my phone lie flat on a table when I'm using it (too big to hold all the time,lol), so if the phone is wiggling while using it, thats a no for me then.

I agree, I am waiting to find out what others have tried before I make a decision.
any update on this? It's been hard for me to find a phone holder for the bike because of the size of the OP7P
https://www.amazon.de/Handyhalterun...nfahrräder-Mountainbike-Schwarz/dp/B071XZHK27
This one holds really well. It will cover up some of the edges though. I don't remember if I already tried the OnePlus 7 pro on it but the OnePlus 5 easily fit it and as the OnePlus 7 pro is merely bigger im pretty sure it will fit.
This model is sold by many different brands but it's really strong and survived all my Mountainbike trips.
Hi all! Do any of you have any more up-to-date ideas about bike mounts? I'm searching for a bike mount that be flexible with rotation and allow me to also take videos with the OP7Pro.
Not sure why, but the results are not that much on Google search and it seems that these guys pay Google a lot to be on top:
https://www.armor-x.com/bx3-pl-7p-oneplus-7-pro-shockproof-rugged-case-w-key-mount-carabiner.html
If the mount case is waterproof, that would be awesome, but I'm not sure if there's such a case that can be combined with the ability to allow video capturing.
I have on my motorcycles, the techmount and the rammount. Both work well.
I use rokform...
That's the best kind of bike holder: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/32610266632.html - it's safe, waterproof and it also includes room for power bank.
