[DIY] Nook Color "Stand in a Can" - Curiously Strong! - Nook Color Accessories

Here's a Nook Color stand that is perfect for Altoid lovers who need to travel!
I wanted a stand for my NC for watching movies on a plane and for use on the road - but didn't want to spend money on it. So, here's my DIY "Stand in a Can". Materials are an empty Altoid can, 1/4" piece of wood and a couple of pencils. It works well and is surprisingly stable. The Altoid can itself can be used to change the viewing angle and add stability for portrait viewing.

What shell/case is that?

It's the Trident Aegis case. Best price is at Merit Line. I've had it a few weeks and really like it.

Like it! Makes me wish I knew tools. I'd make the oak base a little thicker and drill in some grooves to hold the pencils. But good solution for the masses.

I like it -- That is pretty darn clever!
ps. +1 for the Cafe Du Monde coffee tin in the background. We have one in our kitchen too

please let me know about this product if anybody has got one. I ordered one, will be receiving tomoro.
i have this.
I like it when i use it but thats only on trips usually.
The design is a little bulky on the sides but on the positive side its very padded so as not to scratch the device.
I like the little flap/clip things on the bottom. it provides a lil extra support because when my phone is still in its stock case it fits a little wierd but has never falllen out of the holder. The flaps are also far enough apart they don't get in the way of the charging or 3.5 jack.
The base fits snug in my cup holder which is a plus...
You will need to slide the right side of the case down as it wil continue to hit your volume keys but overall, though the design is not the prettiest, its functional, i trust it to hold my HD2 and was pretty cheap considering some of the other holders i've ran into.
I bought mine expecting the worst and it's came in handy quite a bit, i don't think you'll be disappointed.

Case for A7

My A7 arrived this morning.
So far I'm very pleased.
I looked around and found a case for the unit on amazon for $11.00.
"CaseCrown Faux Suede Zip Sleeve Case (Black)"
It seems to be made for the tablet. I'll post a review when it arrives.
Alright! So i just received my A7 Case from CaseCrown in the mail. Thought i would post a few pictures and show ya what you get for $16.98.

This is the Navy blue. Very nice on the eyes i might add!
Fits very firmly, It's solid and feels padded. I've got a more secure feeling in the event that i drop my A7. The zipper's have a nice curve to them, Allowing them to fit nicely between the thumb and pointer fingers.
I found that the liner material leaves a imprint on the screen, But it's better then fingerprints an scratch marks!
The front zipper pocket has about enough room for maybe a few bucks and your Photo ID. Don't expect to fit your charger cord in there.
Overall (9/10) I'm VERY happy with the product i got for the amount of money spent!
Well thanks for checking out my review!
9 out of 10 not bad maybe Ill order one. Thanks

Portfolio Case

I would love to see a case like this for Adam. Pictured is Xoom with portfolio case accessory.
agree... I'd buy one.
I'd be happy with something like this... or any other simple, clean case that had some sort of stand built into it.
I'd buy smth. like this too.
Any of these Malate Gtablet cases fit?

Those G-tab cases wont work. Adam is the same width (landscape) as the G-Tab. But, it's also a head taller because of the speaker/camera bezel at the top. I have both tablets.
rooCASE Executive Portfolio Case for Sony S1 Android Tablet
What about the "rooCASE Executive Portfolio Leather Case Cover with Landscape / Portrait View for Sony S1 Android Tablet"? (Copy and paste the title over at Amazon to see it... apparently, I'm too new to post the link.) It's got a bit of extra width on one side... probably won't allow access to all the slots and whatnot but it looks like it might fit. Anyone tried it? I probably will once I get my Adam and come back and share my findings.

I got one about 4 months ago
Its great for me keeps the phone firmly in position for many hours at a time and only on a few occasions has it fell off.
Well worth the couple of £'s spent imho
But does it vacuum strong enough with the not smooth surface we have at the battery cover ? cause the iPhone 4 has glass in the back.
LMAO thats a great little thing to have. Even if it does not work well I would like to have one just for kicks. :]
hahaha!!! this thing its funny!! i think it will hold well on the steel surface on the back !!
Its just a $1 in focalprice.com with free shipping but you have to bear with the 2 weeks delivery time as it ships from HK.. Also it doesn't hold my HD2 for long.. My HD2 has a shiny back as I have full body Zagg shield..

[Review] EasyAcc Black Leather Protective Folio

Hi guys and girls!
Today I received my case for my nexus 7 (http://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B008ORA2FY/ref=noref?ie=UTF8&psc=1&s=ce-de)
It came without packaging (only a plastik bag), so here are photos without "packaging":

The pen can also write on REAL paper...

The case has an integrated magnet, so the device gos into standby if its closed. The cover of the case is made out of 3 parts, so i can make a triangle out of it, so the nexus 7 stands like a screen:
All in all, the case doesnt look like high quality, but it does his job, protected my nexus 7 from a scratch in the screen and i love the feeling of the synthetic leather.
Hope you enjoyed the pictures, if you did, leave a thanks
Hello,
how are you satisfied with this case after some time ?
I am interested mainly in magnet strength. How strong is it ? Wont it "self-open" when i put it in my bag ?
Also some tearing and damage after use ?
Do you reccomend it ?
