Aloha from beautiful Hawaii

that bulge on the side is a serious buzz kill

Yeah wtf its the bulge about?
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App

just a guess here but I'm thinking the bulge is the micro usb connection to the backup battery in the case.

Looks like the skin is happy to see somebody while in a speedo.

The Mytouch4G 'Boner Skin'.

where could i get this case?

Too bad the MT4G doesn't have an alternate way of charging aside from the usb port so that a case like this could use a less intrusive, low profile, way of making contact. Like charging pins or something maybe...

Ignoring the side pins for a moment... Why is that bulge so large? It's like the designer has never seen a right angle plug on anything before.

I found this site with a review.

Recycled one piece silicone case with a comfortable non-slip cover and full protection. Smart sensing, rechargeable built-in battery that keeps your myTouch powered automatically. LED lights that show your current battery strength and charge status
Patented XPAL battery chemistry providing twice the power and ultra thin profile.
Still waiting for something that uses the pins on the side... *sigh*

are talking about the case or a boner

I got this case for 70 bucks from T-mobile store. I have used it for about a week and love it. The bulge is a micro USB connector underneath. You charge the case from the oppisite side when installed on phone. Can't computer doesn't read phone with case installed. The budge doesn't get in the way though. Almost adds a better grip. I would buy it again.

I just got the case today adds a lot of bulk and the case is slippery.

i saw it at the tmo store but unfortunately i'm not fond of rubber skin cases so i had to pass since i couldn't see it outside of the box but i'm really considering trying it out

That's the one thing I hate about mytouch 4g is the side usb connection!
Can't hold the darn thing while charging !

Case is a piece of crap because it lacks a power switch. This means it charges the phone whether it has to or not. Returned it today.

My mobile office - Gel case & dock

Some of you may have read my previous posts and know I'm no fan of the portfolio case from Motorola. I just recieved my Moto gel case and dock and am very pleased. The gel is very light and keeps the device feeling thin and portable. The dock comes with an additional accessory so the Xoom w/gel can fit.
All thats left is a screen protector which I've already ordered from PhantomSkinz.

Looks good minus that keyboard haha

Nice setup. The keyboard is a little too big to be portable though. Can you buy these gel cases in stores yet?

It's actually a little smaller than the moto official keyboard. And, i'm not sure you can tell, but it's very thin. Trust me, it's very portable and light.

Yes, the dock comes with a charger which is huge. I used the Chad Ochocinco coupon code to get 25% off the order so my total was $75 with next day air.

Sweet thanks

To clarify, $75 with next day air was for the dock and gel case.

I have the dock and Moto bluetooth keyboard and the combo works great.
I'd say the XOOM is really getting close to being a short term laptop replacement, but still falls a bit short. I was really hoping to be able to use the XOOM for presentations with the HDMI out, but the positioning of the port on the bottom of the device is pretty useless. Even if I buy the $129 speaker dock with HDMI out, there still is no simple way to convert the digital HDMI signal to VGA...

Not sure if one of these will work or not with the Xoom but it could be an affordable way to connect the HDMI output to VGA

Found a Tripod Mount that fits!

After lots of searching for a tripod mount I found this cool little mini tripod on Amazon that works great. It's like fifteen bucks and change. Getting my Seidio Surface case in a few days and going to see if it fits. Might be a tight fit though.
Link: http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0085MGNQA/ref=mp_s_a_1?qid=1341792138&sr=8-1
Picture of the S3 to show you that it fits on the mount attached to my tripod:

I sometimes carry this though
Is much smaller than tripod and can "almost" always fulfill the need. If the above head could be fit on this it would be awsome

My "real" camera is a 5mp Casio point and shooter from the year 2000 so when the family came over and I needed to film the firework show from the college the S3 did fine. Even if I had a real camera from today's age I wouldn't carry everywhere I go (well maybe for the first week to play with it) so the camera built in my S3 will do. Hell if I had a real camera I'd actually use a real tripod, not this 15 dollar tripod I bought off Amazon that I can just dump in my trunk and take it everywhere and not care of it gets scratched up.
So this will do for now. :thumbup:

The best camera is always the one you have with you, so no shame in a tripod for your phone! I actually quite like the idea. I have a canon t3i that takes breathtaking photos, but it never seems to be with me when I see the perfect shot.
I actually might pick one of these up to toss in my car, how stable is it? Will it fit the phone with a case on it?
+1 for you being the one amazon review lol

Just got my Surface Case from Seidio today and was pretty nervous that it wasn't going to fit but it fitted perfectly no problem. It's actually really stable I was surprised.
Edit: I attached an image with proof that I have the Surface Case due to companies who send trolls to forums trying to sell people stuff that don't fit our work. Especially since the products website said its for phones up to 4.6".

OP, was curious if the tripod you linked come with the mount or if it was purchased separately? Amazon product description doesn't say if it comes with or is an optional accessory. Thanks in advaance

Griffin Car Pod/Dock

Where the heck can I get one? Been out of stock/coming soon for weeks on Motorola site and Griffin site. Think it might have actually been taken off Moto site now.
I really want one, where can I turn?

They stopped making them, and from what most people say, they were hardware-defective, and not very well made. Your best bet is hoping for Motorola to make their own (which is unfortunately quite doubtful).
Otherwise, try to find a non-****ty universal dock (and do some NFC magic with it), or wait to see if a company like iBolt makes one which supports the phone.

What mounts are people here using? Any recommendations?
Sent from my XT1060 using Tapatalk

I've been using the RAM Mount Universal X Grip - http://www.rammount.com/Products/XGriptradeMounts/tabid/4687/Default.aspx. I found mine on Amazon for $10 less than the official site. It's quite good, and I can obviously use it with my next phone just fine. I really just needed something to hold the phone to my windshield if I want to use navigation, not too worried about built in charging, etc.

I second the RAM mount. Got mine early this week and its the best built mount I have ever used. Ordered mine from Amazon as well.

This universal mount doesn't charge or turn the device to car mode automatically but while I wait for hopefully ibolt to make one or the griffin one to come in stock I use this one and to be honest it works really really well.
iMagnet
Its obviously made for the iphone but I have used it with my Moto X, S4, and Note 2 and never had a problem. It comes with 3 metal plates to put either in between your case and phone or you can use the adhesive tape and stick it to a case or the phone (I wouldn't do that though). I use the round metal plate and I stick it between the back of the phone and my case and it just sticks up there and it doesn't move around at all.
If you could find a way to stick a piece of thin metal above the camera and another right below the camera and stick it on the imagnet mount it will activate the car mode. The Moto X (like most of the other Motorola phones in the past) use magnets to activate the car mode.

Real wood backed cases

So I saw this on Amazon and am very tempted to check it out. Some reviews for an older version say its not very well made but this looks like a revised version. Anyone got one? Love the official wood backs on the moto x but they aren't available in the UK.

http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/810qJa9x8GL._SY600_.jpg
So my case finally arrived from boxwave. Its very well made, it has a silky texture on the plastic edges and the back has a rubbery feel texture over the bamboo. All the cut outs are precise and neat, boxwave logo even looks pretty good. It snaps firmly onto the phone and I think it looks really premium.
The plastic is slightly raised above the screen at the front, leaves the top and bottom open like a lot of hard cases.

That looks pretty awesome. I would like to see more pictures from the front though. Really need a case that can protect from a fall unfortunately.

My coworker has that case on his Nexus 4. It's pretty nice. I just don't like the logo on there.

Yeah agreed about the logo. I'm waiting for pay day to order one. I'll post some pics when I get it ?

Ha very true! Also I read that all bamboo dies after about 10 years because it is degraded from the inside out by a fungus.

Wow, didn't know that. Learn something new every day.
I'd go for Cocobolo Burl. Coolest looking wood I've ever seen. Of course it's super rare and probably costs more than gold haha.

Yeah that stuff looks amazing! Very regal, type of thing you'd find on a baroque period dresser or something. I think really I want a moto X but moto maker (which you use to order custom colours and wood backs) is USA only right now.

Yeah, if they made a case out of that, I would jump on it so quickly.
I want to like Motorola, but after the hellish experience/treatment/neglect/no updates/etc I had with the Atrix 4G, where they just abandoned it after less than a year and pretended it didn't exist.... I don't think I'll ever buy another Motorola phone ever again. That cost so much (bought outright) and was so disappointing, it just turned me off to them (they do have the best USB cables out there though!).
