- the plate for attaching to the dash (i wont use this ever - dont want to ruin car), the vent holders (they suck.. at least in my car), suction to window
- the green part is where the picture was (you can replace with your own or add that foam pad they supplied (which i did), the red part is where the clear plastic was suppose to be - cover for picture.
- phone w/ silicon case. fits fine. *put the phone in and close the sides to a slightly tight fit. im able to take out the phone and put it in quite easily.
- the red part is the button you press to release the sides (just push the sides in to tighten). the green part is the part the you would want to adjust to your liking and then super glue the hell out of so it wont move. haha im going to do that. (all 4 of them)
-silicon case from ebay if you haven't seen it. fits quite well but not SUPER tight so iono. not really using it yet. only the pouch. i ordered the hard rubber one. and im waiting for the invisible shield (tomorrow)
- on my car... i put it at a really weird angle so it will be low and closer to the dash. the suction is really strong (so far). but toward where the phone is, it will move but not tested while driving yet.. will have to update later.. but from what i can see. if you tighten the phone down (by sides) and tighten everything else. it should be fine even if it moves a bit.
- fits fine like this. works fine ... as i can tell. it kind of does fit landscape mode? but i WOULDNT reccommend it.
*Im using Garmin Mobile XT.. (should have taken pics with it on but oh well) its raining outside and im too lazy to drive around.
anyways... im kind of mad.. i was fixing the sides and what not.. so i had the thing in my room .. and had it on my closest mirror.. and when i went to take it off.. it was stuck so hard .. i broke the handle that releases and tightens the suction cup... i figured out that i can take it apart and still use it but now i cant take it off and put it on easily... oh well.. i dont really care.. ill just put it on my car and leave it there.. no real need to move it anyway.. .. it shouldn't break so easily if your careful but i went at it like it was nothing hahah.. but if you move it a lot.. im sure it will break..

Finally got the bugger mounted on my 94 mecury sable.
I had to tear out my center console a bit to get at some bolts. I removed the cup holder/coin holder as well as the bottom slide out container with cigarette lighter.
I purchased A ram mount for the base and a ram cradle for the tablet.
Finally got the video up! please check it out and let me know what you think!

Dude, I like that! I think I will go this route. Being able to swivel like that is cool.
Good job, the RAM gear isn't cheap but it's quality.
So how'd the roadtrip work out? Any issues using the phone as a wifi router to update the GPS on the Tablet? I'm looking at doing a similar thing on my scooter...
Some might say distraction, I say a MUCH bigger screen to look at instead of trying to look at a small GPS screen for updates.
Thanks!

wow..really nice..great job and even better job posting videos..
would you mind giving us the pn of the ram mount and cradle?
also does the cradle claw thingy have rubber or something..since its right up against the tablet i'm wondering about scratching the side of it..
thanks for the post.

You can actually just go to the website and it will find it for you but here is the pn's:
Cradle: RAM-234-6
Mount: RAM-B-101U-C
It comes with 4 different types of clips. The ones I am using have rubber covers over them. You don't have to use them, they are optional but obviously, use them. I use two long holders for the bottom and two short on the bottom. but because the cover don't go in all the way on the short grips, I just cut them.
Works great! There is a little play but thats because I move it around a lot. But I love the GPS on it now and music. Although more of a distraction, its worth it
doubt
Hi. I'm a portuguese guy and don't wonderstand very well your apresentation. I have a jeep and due to the ups and downs of walking on the hill, I love the support. I do not understand very well how to assemble it or where to buy the parts I need. If you give me some more tips, thanked immense.
So, my streak took a tumble. Gutted isn't the word
Anyway, I've ordered a new one from ebay and in preparation, I stripped the streak down...

What I was wondering is, as I cracked a lot of glue/sticky tape etc on the disassembly, what exactly do I use to replace it?
I'm particularly concerned with properly securing the new glass/digitizer/lcd assembly to the main body of the phone, and also getting the and bezels to stick properly.
any hints appreciated
You dont need anything the 5 little clips keep the screen attached to the board, the back cover clips over the side to keep it all in place, and the side panels just stick back on the double sided sticky tape. Maybe! I think keeping it apart for a longperiod of time dust will collect on the double sided tape, and might make it less sticky, id maybe put the side bits back on until the new screen arrives.

Sick glue? Do you mean plain ole elmers glue stick? Like my kids use in school? Please elaborate...
another source for screen
BTW,
Got my screen from amazon. $49.99 free shipping with amazon prime. Most importantly have the reputation that amazon will have their customer's back if there is an issue.
Thanks for the tips guys, I will try reassembling without tape/glue on the screen and let you know how I get on. Hopefully my screen will arrive today
It's Alive !!
All went together fine although the bezels aren't as secure as I'd like so will (at some point) clean off all the old tape and replace with new - once I find some suitable.
It's not desperate though as I use an Otterbox commuter case, and they're held in place by that (not that they're falling-off loose, just not quite stuck firm).
VERY pleased to have my streak back.
cheers everyone,
malty

Sorry - yes normal glue sick (used in school) - I have used that and no problems so far
Don’t know if this is where this goes or not but it’s about accessories..
So I have the Sprint car dock and it works great (even if it only launches the dock half the time). I went out and bought the Otterbox commuter case and I love it. The good news is YES the case does if in the dock…. The bad news is the flap that covers the UBS port does not. So I had two choices, one cut the rubber that protects the USB port off and risk all kinds of pocket lint and dust getting in there or modify the dock… SO
I modified the dock… all I did was take a Dremel (best tool ever) and cut away the plastic edge. Now you have to be careful because it would be easy to “slip” and cut into your USB port. Also the LED power light is right there so watch that too!!!
Here is what 10 minutes of work look like!!

I will sand it a little but I think it turned out great!!! Now I can use my case and dock!!! I would take a picture of the phone in the dock but the phone is all I have to take pictures at the moment lol.
Let me know what you think??
Well done, problem solved. Looks fine to me. And yes, dremels are awesome ! Dremels, 5 min epoxy, and duct tape. I can do anything!
indeed nice! I bought mine today and was thinking.. just a little more room and I could totally Dock my otter box! but, I thought I would just cut off the little flap to the Charge port. instead, You've inspired me!
Thanks guys. I did not want to hurt the case as I get way more use out of it then the dock. But with the usb cover out it actually covers up the cut on the dock so you don't see it anyways. Looks great!

You made the right decision.
When you have to mod something , you want to avoid reducing functionality if you can. Cutting the dock doesn't change its functionality (even if it didn't fit after the cutout) , while removing the USB cover removes a feature.

As the nook isn't available where I live, so are accesories. Found I needed a sleeve for my NST GlowWorm, and went shopping for material.
Ended up with a sheet of thick felt (like 5 mm) and a wide velcro band.
Measured the nook, and cut the felt.
I took out my wife sewing machine, and sewed the velcro on. The furry side went all around the "body" of the sleeve (even tho it's only needed on front) and the other on the flap.

Then I folded front and back, and sewed the two open edges together. Broke a needle where passing the velcro part, but after a second pass, it all came together.
Result: A sleeve with perfect fit, and a distinct look with the velcro all around it.
Pictures, please?
IMO, it looks much better IRL than on these pics, but you get an idea of how it may look.
I'm minimalistic, so I went for all black, but I guess you could spice it up with felt and velcro in contrasting colors or something.
Wow, looks neat and protective. Really thick felt too.
Congratulations on your DIY project.
This is the 2nd time this week I've been impressed with DIY cases. I'm pretty handy with technology, but nobody in my house sews. It's good to know how to make things.
I've got a nice zip case for my NST, as well as a slip cover. Both work, but the zip case adds bulk, and the slip cover is a bit large. A case like yours with an internal stiffener board to protect the screen against pokes would be ideal. I'd like some notches on it to protect the 'n' key from being pressed in my bag.
pretty cool, I LOVE DIY stuff
Nice! I would say - mind reader, I was researching exact same thing today!
wouldn't the velcro scratch the back of the nook when you get it out?

Good point. Never seen any scratches tho. Also, the way I pick it up, my hand is between the nook and the flap, so it doesn't touch it. Perhaps putting the "furry" vercro on the flap would have been a better idea.
A while back I got one of these really cheap desktop phone stands given to me. It's actually very sturdy, but I didn't have much use for it, so it went into a box of misc. stuff in the closet.

More recently I picked up an inexpensive wireless charging puck that works quite well
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00F6SPZWO/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
So I wondered if I could stick the puck to the back of the stand, and make a poor man's Tylt Vu charging stand. Sadly, the answer was no. The thickness of the plexiglass stand, added to the case for the charging puck, was too great for the Qi coils to bridge. But, I thought, what if I remove the thickness of the puck's case, and put the charging coil directly on the back of the plexi stand? So I disassembled the puck, and low and behold, that worked just fine.
Not wanting to give up the puck, I decided to order another. Being cheap, I saw a bunch of similar looking circular pucks for an even lower price, and thought they're probably the same thing. So I ordered one of these:

Well, it's not the same. It's definitely cheaper than the PowerBot, but it worked fine, so I took it apart. Combined with the freebie stand, I bring you..... FrankenCharger. :laugh: Ugly as sin, but it works, and a total outlay of about $10 can't be beat. Similar looking pucks are available from ebay for $3 to $4 bucks.
The bumpers that the phone rests on are soft plastic, and are extras from kitchen cabinets, intended to keep the cabinet doors from slamming closed. I may try to figure out a better way to hold it together than electrical tape, but there's something honestly cheap about that solution that appeals to me.
Here's a shot of the back, and sitting next to my work PC. I may stick some thin cork dots, or something similar, on the bottom to keep it from sliding around, but where it's located it's atually pretty stable.
nice i did something similar, but i also use a laser cut, its good to have one
