Hi there, does anyone have any experience concerning bike mounts for our hero? Preferably with somekind of case or other type of protection (against rain, not falling on concrete [my hero survived that without a case a few times already ])?
Have a look at these. I personally think the universal ones are more secure, however, no weather protection.
Thanks, I thought as much.
Though I would love to hear from somone who's had some experiences with weather protection.
no such bike I'm afraid,, design your own is the best way. What happens to the gun cases and guns when you drop the bike ?
universal weatherproof case
I have a "universal weatherproof case" for my hero. Do a search for it on youtube and there's a decent video and also a link to it on the buybits.com website. Only £20. Can't find it on their site at the moment, sorry.
Only mod I made was to cut the zip handles off because when you're riding, they "jangle". The touch screen works through the transparent plastic and it's definitely waterproof and mudproof!
I'm happy with my purchase.
@Janzomaster: any luck finding it?
@Esspee_London: many thanks for the hint

No, I didnt search on as I won't be needing the mount as soon as I thought
But the mount recommended above definetly looks promising: http://www.buybits.com/product/8174.aspx

Looks good
Will there one of those funky skins soon too?
The way it holds the Device looks very good.
But you have made the same mistake as proporta with the magnetic strap You put it on the back so it acts like a really annoying claw on top of the device. When you take a call it really gets annoying as it first tries to cover the speaker when you put it to your head. Then after you have moved it out of the way it rubs on your head getting even more annoying.
IMO it would be better to have the strap on the front panel so it then fixes on the back (just like original XDAII case). This gives a lot cleaner look on the front and stops the annoying claw effect.

Hello sparkyxda,
a JAVOSkin (with strap) is coming in the near future, but unfortunately we do not have an ETA at this time. So please stay tuned!

Hello Dingo,
Thanks for your awesome suggestions and comments! I do agree with you on the strap, I will forward this to our product manager and bug him some more about the strap issue
I will keep an eye out for a new version :wink:

I really like the four bracket design but the magnetic closure is a pain - I'm never confident about leaving one of these near my wallet!
Does anyone have any pics of the device in the actual case?? Javoedge you know that alone would help people make up their minds.
also can you slide the keyboard out with this case?? include pics of that also
Hello everyone,
Thank you for your inquiries.
I believe the review of this case linked below will answer most of your questions.

Please do let me know otherwise.
Thank you!

I am afraid the keyboard cannot slide out while inside the case.
I apologize.
since you are asking our advice maybe you could give us a discount?? :lol: then it might get around the board a bit more :lol:
As well as looking smart, for my money a case must protect your device. It would appear from the pickies that the top left and right corners aren't protected (certainly not with any wrap around from the case). My XDA2 was seriously damaged after I dropped it - it inevitably landed on the top left corner and the on/off switch would no longer function (case cracked too). The aluminium case looks as if it would do the job (sorry to report that I bought a Proporta ally case - but only for the protection offerred - not for its looks). Fuctionality is also better with the ally case - I can use my phone and any other button assigned programmes without having to open the case. I would still much prefer a leather case if it offerred protection.

really, this is pretty much like a "small group survey" ... in marketing jargon
Not good case. protectionand accessibility. This case have 80% protection and 0% accessibility. I need to open front cover to access the buttons and make a call. Who need a credit card slots in PDA case? I think so far most successful case is Brando. If you would make the same idea but with transparent front, your case will beat up every other models, because is no any really good one on market today.
Anyone tried this one ?
http://www.ion-factory.com/htc_01.html?gclid=CIew9ayX_5kCFRISzAod63lREQ
Would be interested as well. Especially how thick it makes the device. Unfortunately there are no hi-res pictures on the website.
Photos do not really show a lot of detail. So like Georgeous2008 interested to hear from someone who has parted with the cash and tried it.
Point of view design, it pretty much reminds of the Vaja Cases, however, I'm a bit disappointed that the camera part is so much revealed. A little hole would have been sufficient and would provide more protection...
Ordered it

why not, if i may ask? I think the touch hd cases made by ion are pretty good, from first impressions...
the reviews will be coming soon...
but let me say......
i know i said it was nice in the first video....
but...
this is probably one of the cheapest build quality cases out there....
wait for the video review for more.

First of all the price (did you check?). The leather case I am now using was half of that. Secondly the 2 flimsy strips that hold the front cover look bad, and I doubt they will last long.

Once or twice - one day you must count them!
the impulse buyer side of me recently won this battle -- i went ahead and got the case (that video review was taking a while) hehe
my thoughts ..
1) love the front. simple but very classy pattern. sleek. not bulky at all.
2) hate the button on the back. makes the case bulky and it's not very easy to open every time. it would've been a whole lot more sleek if they found a way to make the case without a button of that size (perhaps a magnetic snap mechanism or something, i dunno).
3) too expensive. i say it's not worth the price. times like these make me regret being too impulsive when i shop online haha.
Agreee

I totally agree with "Vince B" The case is really good but it doesn't worth the price at all. I don't like the button either, anytime I open d case, I'm always scared of it ripping out (which will happen one day) since it's attached to a thin leather which is glued to the plastic back.
Hi
Does anyone know if there is someone that makes a bike (handelbars) holder for the Blackstone?
edit
I did find some on with google search, but does anyone have any experience??
yesterday, i have ordered this:
http://www.dantotec.de/shop/Richter...HD-T8282-Blackstone-100-inkl-Halteschale.html
now i have to wait for delivery
Please post your experience when you have tried it.
bike holder
Hi, I am interessted in a solid Bike holder too and was looking for the whole day. I found this in ebay germany, the producer is Haicom, tomorrow I will order.
I want to use it only in landscape mode and for me it looks appropriate for this. The only thing is that I don't trust the connection between the HTC cradle and the Handlebar attachment, so perhaps I have to stick it with instant glue, but all the other holders I saw don't have such big retaining clips in the cradle like this one.
also interested
Guys
I'm very interested in this too, looking forward to hearing experiences from you. I need to retire my Ortleib pouch!
my experience so far
The cradle i ordered is a little bit bigger then the touch hd and the connection between handlebar attachment and the cradle is a little bit unsteady like i thought but no problem. I sticked felt pads on it and its very very solid now, also a good method to avoid scratches. I've made a little video that you can see how solid this is now. So I think this is a good one only after you stick those felt pads.
Sweet it looks pretty sturdy.. If you can get it to stay in one place on the handel bars then thats the one for me
handle bars
I've mounted the cradle on my bicycle, it doesn't move from its place.
There is a rubber layer at the attachment.
Today i have received my bike holder (http://www.dantotec.de/shop/Richter...HD-T8282-Blackstone-100-inkl-Halteschale.html)
it looks realy safe (not testet in action)
i have "shaked" the holder with my touch hd over my bed and it dont pull out (i hope you know what i mean ^^)
and the size is very good, not too small and not too big "like a second skin"
in the package you get also 3 rubber for more security...
i think i can recommend this bike holder
i wait for this (cause its not in stock): http://www.dantotec.de/product_sear...417fff&query=HRI01686&x=30&y=17&channel=001_0
this product is recommended from the manufactorer, it should guarantee more stability...
I have combined this:
http://www.amazon.de/Motorradhalterung-für-Lenkstange-inkl-Schwanenhals/dp/B000RGVNK8/ref=pd_cp_ce_2
(I do not have the space for the HD directly over my handle so I needed some distance...)
with that:
http://www.amazon.de/HR-Klemmbacken...=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=ce-de&qid=1274939042&sr=1-3
(Had this one already for my car.)
I did not buy them from amazon (I forgot where I got them), but they are original from HR.
Just an advice: The first time I used my device on the bike, I lost my stylus - it must have gotten loose due to some vibrations, and it was only on a paved bike path, not cross country-like vibrations...
So better remove your stylus or find some way to fix it.
I had the luck that it was on my way to work, and it waited for me to pick it up on my way back not far from my home...
The Whistler
Ebay is perfect for this stuff.

A cradle for a bike with exposed screen like that is asking for trouble. If you go over a bad road or bump etc it can become lose or if you are in a crash there is no protection. I found its safer to get one of them arm band phone protectors and strap it down. seems to work for me

I ordered my G Tab from Woot as many others did. I really like the thin iPad 1 case and have been searching for one for the GTab but haven't been able to find one. I'm not really looking for a big leather case. I'm looking for something similar to this forum post on the Galaxy site: ht tp:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=893697 (sorry I can't post links)
The Galaxy case that is sold at hand held items (link to hand held in the above spaced out link) looks very similar to the iPad one too but is better because it's not an "i" product.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve's cases look much better than the Case Crown cases. I got one of the CC cases and it stopped "fitting" after a few weeks. Opening and folding the front back behind the tablet caused the bands to stop gripping the tablet and I just stopped using it overall.
I'd highly recommend looking at Steve's store: http://electroniccrap.com/store/ind...cription=1&keyword=viewsonic+g+tablet&x=0&y=0
I'd have gotten one of his, but he was out of stock so I ordered one of the cases with the keyboard built in (came out to be $35). I have to go pick it up at the post office, as it was delivered via registered mail and has to be signed for.
It's a great case but still not as good as a custom case

I was one of the early adopters of the CaseCrown case for the Kindle DX for my gTab. It looks pretty classy even though it's not real leather. Good quality construction. Some people were reporting that the elastic tabs at the top were getting lose with time but I've used mine for over three months and didn't notice that on mine. I have to say thought I didn't leave my gTab in the CaseCrown case when I was using it but only really had it in the case for transporting it from home to the office or some other away from home locale. The one thing I will report that is a slight negative about the CaseCrown is that after three months of use I did notice the side of the case that is up against the back of the gTab was getting slightly bent and the felt lining was beginning to bubble up a bit. Even with that slight issue this case I would highly recommend it. If you can part with the cash I would strongly direct you into the direction of one of the custom cases as those are more tailored for out gTabs.
I hope you enjoy your gTab as much as I do mine. I've basically replaced the need to lug around my really heavy beast of a work laptop and now do my off site work from my gTab accessing my laptop remotely via LogMeIn Ignition.
Since I've purchased my CLIP from it2steve I have put away my CaseCrown case. I have no use for it now so if you're interested I'll be happy to unload it on you for next to nothing. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I hope for your sake you didn't get the one that I had before I unloaded it on eBay. It does work but that's where the positive ended for me with that case. The case really looked CHEAP and I was embarrased to take it out in front of other people at work or at a client's site. Also, the keys are hard plastic (not silicone) so I was afraid it would rub against the gTab's screen and do damage since the case also didn't hold the gTab snug but rather let it slide around in there.
This case may be good for students but really is not suitable for a professional environment. It will definitely give the Apple fans something else to snicker at if you work around them.

Just picked it up from the Post Office today, works great but they sent me one with the wrong clip locations, even though I specified Viewsonic Get Tablet as they instructed.
I am going to fix it on my own as others have done because it took 3 weeks to get it.
Overall I'm very happy with it for the price of $35 total.
So I'm looking for a bicycle case for my Z3. You know, a case that has a mount you can put on your bike.
Now the iphone and other phones have tons of options, like this .
I have been looking around but haven't found anything for the Z3. So I hope I'm lucky here, and find someone who has come across one.
Thank you! :good:
Found a bunch, is this what you're looking for?

I use one like the first one above. Works great, I just needed to apply a bit of dampening tape between the phone holder and bike mount to eliminate rattle. Used a similar one for my XZ for 18 months and it was great. The phone did pop out twice when I encountered serious puncture inducing pot holes but I try and be more careful nowadays
I might bite on this one
