Hey guys, I have appreciated the video reviews posted here so I thought I would do one myself. This video review is for the New Trent Bluetooth Keyboard with touch pad. Here is a link to the video review
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tym3BoEhQwc&feature=youtube_gdata_player
And here is a link to the product on Amazon
http://www.amazon.com/New-Trent-Mul...36&sr=1-1-catcorr&keywords=new+trent+ishuffle
My full written review is there as well. In short, its the best wireless keyboard I have used. Definitely worth the asking price of $55.
This is my first YouTube video, so there is much room for improvement. I plan on continuing to review various android hardware and accessories should you wish to subscribe. Let me know if you have ideas!
Very excellent

No where does it mention N7 in the description. I know it's bluetooth but I'm talking about how well it will hold the N7. Looks like it will work but I'll like to see it confirmed. Been there done that!
Thanks for the links...
How's this? Works just like with the note in there. Functionality wise, same. They probably didn't mention it because it's designed for 10 inch tablets but I think any keyboard smaller than this is too hard to type on

Interesting sounding keyboard. Trouble is that it's sold out on Amazon.

True. I was told on another forum that new trent responded to an email from the poster saying it should be back in stock soon.

I think its better due to the fact that the stand is built in and the slide out track pad. I am a little biased though because I haven't owned that other one.

This idea came about after my brother was held up at knife point for his Note II. He was just commuting home at night but thankfully nothing really bad happened to him.
I commute and I hate the idea of losing my new Note II. So, I modified my old wood covered planner by cutting out the paper layers to form a niche for the Galaxy Note II. I considered including the silicone casing to tighten secure the device into place.
I control the device with a smart watch like the old Sony Ericsson LiveView and my wireless stereo remote earphones. My main line is another common smartphone. The Note serves as my secondary line. I can quickly make calls, read & reply sms (pre composed) via the smart watch.
You just need to use the Note in safer places and not flaunt by using it while in the mod planner for long periods of time. It would also help that you install a screen dimmerv app so as the light will not to give away that you have the Note in it and keep your phone in discreet mode with just vibration alerts.
While most are flaunting this great device, it's less likely that the would-be robber will suspect that the Note is in the planner. The secondary phone is your "smoke-screen" device you will surrender.
In this way, there's no need to do any struggle especially when he has a gun pointed at you.

The previuous post are shots after I managed to cut the inside of the planner. It took me 2 hours to cut and an overnight of drying out the Elmer's glue with a small paint brush on the interior side of the cut out edges.
Choose a planner/notebook that has flexi-band to keep it closed.

Wouldn't the light from the screen give it away?

Oh, I check the forum and we are all talking about gun control?
Sigh. Ok, back on topic - the screen light would give it away at night. I imply the screen filter to dim it down at 20%. I recommend that you put your browsers at negative or dark backgrounds. I guess you have a settings when you have it in there. It isn't going to be 100% elimination of light bouncing off the opposite page.
The point of going through this trouble is concealment of your device while you travel or commute. It's about an extra layer of precaution. Keeping it out of sight will somehow lessen the provocation of a hold-up. And in the event of a hold-up, be it with whatever threat of life, just give your cheap secondary phone.
There is no point of dying for something you can replace.

Of course not in the dark. I meant at night in a lit place. The point is - concealment; stealth; secret; not obvious; discreet; hidden; disguised...
I put the Note II in the planner when I am traveling or commuting to another place. I remove the Note entirely from the planner without showing that I have taken it out for long use in a cafe, or safe public places. You can conceal this process of taking it out or putting it back in inside your bag.
When you do need to do something with the Note's UI, it should be brief enough and unnoticeable. Backing up to a wall is one way. With the first S Pen on a holder accessory, you would look like you're jotting down something.
Other than concealment, the planner keeps the Note damage safe from drops.

Mxyzptlk, yes, the reading light is plausible. I have one, but that would be attracting attention more. But I certainly can see the long time usage of this deception. Yes, I can do this too.

I was really thinking of using it only in situations where your handset's light would otherwise ruin the effect. But I can see the reading light drawing attention too. I guess it's use would have to be occasional and with a judgement call.

My further development for the planner is to use a page and cut it exactly the Note II's screen profile and to cover the rest. I seem to be able to trigger the back and option capacitive buttons through the paper. The front paper can be held in place by using Blutack.
I still have 2 extra planners to experiment on, probably integrating the first S Pen with the holder accessory into the niche. Any further suggestions are appreciated.

Damn, that's really unfortunate. My friend had his iPhone taken in the middle of the day. The guy asked if he could make a call, then walked out of the store, and when my friend followed him, he said he had a knife and to walk the other way.
I understand where you're coming from with this mod, but in all honesty, the best way to prevent getting into a situation like this is to be smart. Of course I don't know the full story, but my advice to anyone is keep your phone concealed whenever you can and be mindful of your surroundings. May seem paranoid (Hey, I'm kinda tall for my age but I'm also pretty skinny), but I'm always watching around me for anything/one suspicious - especially when walking down a dark/sketchy side street.
Glad your brothers safe though. Situations like this can turn ugly fast.
I still have my old HTC Amaze 4G, so I'm working on finding a VNC server app for my Note II and a client for my Amaze, and then simply tethering my Amaze to my Note. Then I can leave the Note in my pocket connected to my headphones, and control it with my Amaze.
Allan, what does VNC stand for? I was thinking about doing some remote interface contro

Chris82o, even first world countries aren't immune to robberies. I opt to be safer and without fear of losing an expensive device.

SwiftLegend, thanks. I do the same defensive precautions. This concealment is another layer. I wish for an E-ink version to kill off the strong light.
Anyway, i got some new ideas for the 2 extra planners I have. I will post them soon.

Agreed. But if they did....I would like to give LG a spin I think.

Never had much loyalty to any brand. Whatever is the best, or one of the best phones in two years will be my upgrade.
I know it won't be a Samsung though. Unless they do a 180 in regards to phone build quality.
not lg if i could id get a sony phone they have very good support for devs, but then again the note series is awesome...
I would probably go nexus and GSM carrier
I would also hold onto to my one until it stops working

T-Mobile and Nexus probably, although I wouldn't mind holding onto my One to use it as a voice/text (+bad 3G) phone.
hmm, maybe Moto once Google does their thing....
Wouldn't matter, my purchase is not dictated by brand.

How about making a ONE Max 10" tablet first
Lol cuz never going to happen.
But if they sold out, then my next phone will certainly be an HTC One Max
Nexus or moto or Oppo. Samsung's phones have gotten so flimsy looking and feeling.
Sony's phones are laggy as hell. I've never really trusted LG, but I have no reason for that, so that would be my fourth choice.
Nexus or Moto as well for me. Might go that way even if HTC doesn't sell out.

Nexus, moto, sony, oppo. LG seems like too much of an also-ran to me- maybe the G2 will change that, though . And Samsung is just... Just no.
No OEM loyalty, though.

Similar suits have been filed for shipping poor hardware (ASUS Transformer Prime GPS). Has any such class action lawsuit been mentioned for this? From the poll on this site, it seems like this is a widespread issue.
If such a suit were ever filed, the payout if any would be so miniscual because the lawyers would probably eat 90%
Why don't you just have your phone replaced?

Great idea !! But most of the time the phone will be in your pocket. I would not dare to leave my phone out in the sun while in public place so some thief can snatch it.
True but i suppose just leaving it on a desk at work etc would still add charge to it.

Screen is pretty much biggest drain so even if it helps to slow it down whilst in use, its a good thing

It's light photons, not heat that charge solar panels. The problem is the sheer inefiency of them, though this is getting better

I doubt anyone would want to leave their phone in direct sunlight for too long, mostly because of how hot it would get. Otherwise, if you're using it while you're outside it'll be able to lower the rate that the battery drains, so that would be a good thing. Otherwise, having it dedicated just for solar charging would not take off IMO
Absolutely useless with current technology.
A solar cell the size of a phone left out in the sun all day wouldn't even charge the phone's battery halfway.
We have awhile to go before solar cells are efficient enough to do this.
As a hiker and someone who's planning some long distance backpacking, I've been looking into purchasing one similar to what's shown in the OP's thread. There's one available on Amazon that's 10,000mAh, can charge itself in sunlight or be plugged into a wall or USB port on a computer. With a carabiner to attach the solar charger to something (belt loop, backpack, etc.) and a long enough cable, you can easily keep your phone out of direct sunlight while leaving the charger sit in the sun. In occasions such as these, I can see how useful they'd be. It's on my "wish list" so I can't speak for how well it works but it has good reviews.

I approve, always nice to have something supplementing your charged battery. I don't see it doing any harm, if it was built in to devices as standard just to give you that extra boost or the chance of emergency power.
