Paper Dock - G1 Accessories

Saw this on Gizmondo, it's for a iPhone but don't see any reason why it wouldnt work for the G1
http://www.dessinemoiunobjet.com/iphone-and-itouch-paper-stand-dock/
As soon as I can get to a printer I'm going to try it out.
Use CARD not Paper though (despite what the title says)

nice!
the G1 might be a bit heavy but let us know how it goes, i wouldn't mind trying this either!

Will try on Saturday at the earliest, don't have access to a printer ATM.
I guess if its card it'll be ok

I've tried this for my G1 and I'm very pleased with it. Slight modification is needed as the G1 is a little thicker. All I did was widen the top of the 'T' shape that needs to be cut out by about 1/2cm and then it was perfect. I also cut out a little square underneath the dock to accommodate the charger lead.
I'm really happy with it! And I thought it was a tad ironic that I used the box from my Apple keyboard for the purpose - worked great!

I'm currently working on a modified template fitting the G1.
For the iPhone and iPod touch it looks awesome already.

Got any photos mate?
Breen - Excellent work! will you be posting the modded version on here?

Here's a little photo of the modified dock. Note I've bent the back flaps a little bit as well as that seems to support the G1's weight better:

Check out this case!

I finally found a case that covers the phone and you can still use the keyboard without removal. I never seen this case before and ran across it on ebay HERE.
I just order the smoke colored one I will let you know how it is when it comes in! I will use it without the clip and just throw it in my pocket.
make a picture how the wizard looks in it when you get it! look good but I wonder how much it adds to the depth of the device.
here some pics they not that great but they will do. the case doesnt add much to the overall size. fits well too.

will this case work with the 8125 also...?
it wont work because the button layout on the 8125 is different than the mda.

blah thats what i thought. I don't understand why you can't just make a jell case that covers both pieces seperately! HOW FRICKEN HARD WOULD THAT BE!?!?! Honestly! It is so frustrating. I wish I knew how to make jell cases like that and I would do it myself and make a mint selling them on eBay.
Fantastic

Wow this is exactly what I was looking for! Only is it tough? I am using the Aluminium one and believe me it has really protected the phone from some nasty drops. Though makes it bulky.
This one for 8125...

Tablet car mount - with video!

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

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.

Car Mount (Custom)

After looking around for a while, and not finding anything, I decided to make my own car mount for my transformer. It came out much better than I expected. I will probably remake it a little nicer at some point, but it works very well as it is.
It does block the A/C and volume knob on the radio, but they can be effortlessly reached without moving the tablet from the top and bottom. For audio, I have a bluetooth receiver in my deck, as well as the ability to plug in an 1/8th inch jack as well.
I haven't worked out how I am going to charge it yet, but with 8.5 hours of life, I haven't had a great need for a charger yet.
The material is 1/8 x 1/2 aluminum bar and stainless countersunk screws. Material cost was about $15 from the local hardware store.
The first two pictures are the prototype.

Very nice but you should plastic dip the alu bar for a clean look.
Where can one get plastic dip? That's what I wanted to use, but I couldn't find it at the local hardware store...

Nice clean unobtrusive mount (do not like big clunky looking mounts)
I was also able to find it (Plasti-dip) at Harbor Freight tools, and Lowe's (in the paint section) Home Depot's seem to be a hit or miss
Thanks! I'll see if I can pick up some at HF after class tonight.
If there is one near you, Harbor Freight sells plastic dip.
If not, you can find it in some auto parts stores.

Brand new hard case

I really like the look of the blue case. Cheers for showing us these.
Looks like from doing a bit of research on google they are roughly a good $15-20 to buy so not too bad (that's Aussie dollars)

i also done search,it is only more than 8pounds with cute gift
Which is 12.50 Australian.
Sent from my MT15i using xda premium
amazing... where i am buy in indonesia ?
Great case (I have one) although it doesnt cover much of the front of the phone ie front edges or buttons when lying face down on a surface and the camera/mic area is also exposed when lying down on a surface - otherwise excellent case.
Oh yea the right hand side of mine pops off and the case moves slightly back and forth over the phone causing scratches - the movement is solved with sticky tape between the back of the phone and the inside of the case.
I have incidentally since bought a Krusell case which is far far superior in many ways (see post) but does increase the size of the phone a lot more than this slim fitting profile Imak case.
P.S - dust/dirt getting between the back of the phone and the case can cause a sandpaper scratching effect between the hard surfaces and I used some sticky tape to stop the slight movement as the case moved over the phone to also stop the scratching (and the movement).

[Review&Pictures] Seidio Active Combo Case

Hi Everybody this is my "Review" of the Seidio Active Combo Case that I got from Amazon this is the case without the Holster and its way cheaper hehe heree about 3 days after I got my EVOLTE well I have been using Seidio since the original Evo, I don't regret purchasing this Case it does what its suppose to putting it on the phone was easy the rubber was easily installed, while I had some trouble with the plastic because it would press against the rubber on an area, I think with time that gets better since the case is brand new.

Also the kickstand is not as durable as the one onthe EVOLTE but it does whats its suppose to, it stands just in one way contrary to the phone that you can even stand it up, for me that was not an issue since I never use the kickstand.
I wanted to show everybody right when I got the case.
Here are some more pictures
Thanks for the pics. I have the red version of this coming soon and really wanted to know what it'll look like with the phone inside.
I can barely feel the new Evo in my pocket but wanted to know if the case is bulky in your pocket?

I have the all black and it does add some thickness to it but i dont feel it makes it too bulky. Only thing I have encountered it since the screen is so darn big and goes right to the edge of the phone I sometimes miss the letters closest to edge when typing. Doesnt really bother me since my swift keyboard usually corrects. I LOVE THIS CASE!!!
it doesnt add much bulk at all, it protects the camera aswell when you put it on the table or anywere, its great
