Accessories for MediaPad - Huawei MediaPad, T-Mobile SpringBoard

This is a placeholder post!

hi folks
just wanted to let you know about my experience with these items i've received yesterday.. since they're mostly made in China, they're very cheap but most of the things that i've ordered in the past from this site, are OK and works..
- Micro USB -> USB OTG cable (Price: $2.10) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/usb-fe...a-cable-for-samsung-i9100-galaxy-s2-5cm-67186 - works without a problem.. USB flash drive, mouse and keyboard connects and works flawlessly!! it's really cool to see a mouse cursor on the tab screen and control your device with it
also tried external USB drive (2,5") but it works only with a powered USB hub (i've ordered this one - USB 2.0, 7 ports, and it works OK - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/high-speed-7-port-usb-2-0-hub-100-240v-ac-adapter-21799)
- Micro HDMI -> HDMI (Price: $6.60) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/1440p-v1-4-micro-hdmi-male-to-hdmi-female-connector-adapter-48136 - it just works
- Leather case for Samsung P1000 (Price: $6.90) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/protective-flip-open-pu-leather-case-for-samsung-p1000-black-50608 - it's for Samsung P1000 tab, but it's almost perfect fit for our MediaPad.. left side (speakers and headphone jack) is OK.. right side (HDMI, USB, power) is OK too.. up side (power button, volume buttons) - OK.. the only "problem" is the opening for the front and backside camera.. they're not positioned like the Samsung p1000, so they're covered by the case.. but overall, for the price it's a great case if you don't care about the cameras! i think the backside camera opening can even be created manually if you want
similar cases cost MUCH more in my country, so for me this is a great option..
- Screen Protector for Samsung P1000 (1,52$) - http://www.dealextreme.com/p/screen-protector-guards-cleaning-cloth-for-samsung-p1000-49782 - again, this is for P1000, but the dimensions seems to be pretty close to MediaPad and it's so cheap, i just ordered it for the sake of trying..
horizontally it's about 2mm short on both sides..
vertically it's about 4mm short on both sides..
if you have the MediaPad inside some sort of a case (like the one i mentioned above) it's OK, because the black border is covered by leather parts of the case so it looks very good..
hope it helps..

I went ahead and bought the only case/protector that Tmo had listed for the springboard, and found it is actually really good. The case around the tablet is formed hard plastic and is good protection, with the cover that doubles as a folding stand.
Worth it at this point.

I'll add one to this list: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007KQHXOS/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00
It's an anti glare screen protector. Unfortunately you pay dearly for it but it's available.

I am quite happy with my Sandisk microSDXC 64GB class 10.
2 steps to format it to FAT32 in order to get it compatible to ”dload”: exFAT 》ntfs (Win7) 》FAT32 (mediapad)

Need some advice for the Vario 2 I just ordered.

Hi,
Ok I have a list of accessories I need for my Vario 2 but would like some advice.
Here is the list of stuff i want to get:
1) Docking Cradle
2) 1 GB MicroSD
3)Case
4) Screen Protector
5) Bluetooth Headset
1. - Found the docking cradle no problem.
2. - Is it really worth getting a Ultra II MicroSD to a normal MicroSD card? Or should I wait and get a 2GB MicroSD as seen them for 50 quid now.
3. - Gonna wait for a case as the ones I have seen so far arn't appealing to me.
4. - Found these screen protectors are they any good?? - http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/11349.htm
5. - Help have no clue don't really want to spend more than £35 if possible but want it comftable and have clear reception.
Thanks for any advice you can give.
screen protector
i have never used the martin fields screen protectors but the one i always use is the EXIM Spuc screen protectors....i have used these on all my htc devices......very recommendable as they are crystal clear and you wont notice its there at all.....plus you dont have to tap the screen extra hard while the protector is on compared to the other brands ive used......
1Gb Micro SDs here for £17.99

Thanks for the info.
I went ahead and ordered a few things from mobilefun in the end to save on postage. But I got my memory from mobymemory as they were doing a special on a usb reader which is gonna come in handy as a pen drive as well.
So here is what I bought from Mobilefun:
Docking Station - was not in stock so won't get for a while
Martin Fields Screenprotector - also wasn't in stock, really hope it gets here soon as I can't stand the one that came with my Vario 2
USB Car charger - has a USB connector and a cigerette connection the other end, havn't tried it yet will do today
Jabra BT500v - Not really used BT headsets before so just getting used to it. Larger than I thought but quite comfy so far. Only problem is I can't get it to do Voice Commands on my Vario 2 so looks like I am gonna have to try some hacks.

G Tablet case with USB Keyboard

Greetings all,
I saw this auction, and am honestly surprised I haven't seen anyone bring it up here. I'm honestly curious about it (specifically, how tight it fits), so I'm wondering if anyone is willing to bite? I already bought a different case through the same seller, so I'm strapped to purchase another one, but if someone picks this up and reviews it, I wouldn't mind selling my current one for this bad boy.
Anyone??
When I bought my G-Tablet it came with this case/keyboard combo. Here are some quick thoughts on it:
-its a great combo and does exactly what it needs to do
-build quality of the case is pretty good, materials feel a tad cheap
-stand on the back is VERY useful, held to the case with a magnetic enclosure
-tabs that hold the tablet in place are metal, tablet is held loosely in place on 3 of the four sides, it IS possible that it could slide out if you carry it wrong
-hidden magnet in the "spine" holds the USB plug in place
-keyboard keys are a little small, some keys are tightly crammed into the bottom right hand corner (. , / and shift plus direction arrows)
If anyone has any specific questions, just send me a PM.
Notice the tablet they are showing is not the Gtablet
You can buy these on Amazon for about the same price, if you don't want to mess with an auction.
I ordered one and it was shipped really quickly. It is about worth what you pay for it. It feels a little cheap, but the keyboard seems well-made and sturdy. The keyboard works perfectly fine (Vegan) and it is pretty easy to get it hooked up. The only potential problem I see with it is that there is nothing other than the clasp at the top to hold it in. I certainly wouldn't turn it upside down.

I mean granted. But they had the other G Tablet case that doesn't have the G Tablet shown in pics, and one of the XDA board members showed it off, and it's a nice, snug fit.
i purchased this case directly from the sellers website. i used it often. it is china-based, so i did wait about 30 days for delivery.
i am completely satisfied with it given the price.
Do not buy
This case looks and feels really cheap. It is made from shiny plastic. You will have to remove the metal tab that is on the left side of this case to access the USB port. It doesn't hold the gTab secure at all, it will slip around a lot. The keyboard is plastic and not silicone so it will constantly rub against the screen.
There's already a thread here that people have been discussing this case for months and it is a piece of junk.
Ordered and returned two of these
Each case with keyboard I ordered was defined as specifically made for the Gtab, but in order to use the usb port, I had to bend the left tab out of the way. Each vendor did issue a refund.
I thought the case was ok, and the keyboard worked fine. But having to adjust the tab was unacceptable.
I' m patiently waiting for the bluetooth keyboard and case to arrive at electroniccrap.com.

i got it . keyboard works very well . But tablet doesn't fit tight and you need an other cable to connect from keyboard's cable to g-tablet's usb ^^ it's not really good
Here is a video review of this case made by moi.
Before you roll on the floor laughing at my Asian accent, damn it I'm trying the best I can.
Ok, here it is.
I recieved mine from Amazon a few days ago. Tablet didn't fit in it at all until I bent the Tabs in to hold it better. And you still have to be careful that it doesn't fall out the end. Turns out I don't think I'll use it that much at all anyway, since I mostly use my tablet on the job site. Unless you REALLY need a keyboard, you're better off spending a couple of bucks and download thumb keyboard.

Bluetooth keyboard support is "iffy", at best. Good luck though.
I have one that I got a few days ago from Amazon.
I am not having any problem with it fitting correctly, so it may be that they are just not very consistent.
You do have to be careful about it sliding out the one side when carrying it around and the one clasp does cover the small USB in port for connecting to a computer.
In my case the USB cable had no problem reaching.
The kick stand is a nice feature.
All in all am find it useful but it does have some short coming, so it would not be for everyone, and there are probably better ones out there, though for the price and am happy with this unit so far.
Case/keyboard on Amazon
Newbie here. Got my gtab a week ago and have been looking at this case/keyboard combo. Am I crazy? I thought these were $30-$35 a few days ago. Now $127.50?????
[I tried to post the link ..... but newbies can't.]
THAT ...... is no bargain.
And a big thank you to all who post the good info here!
I just received mine from an Amazon seller...they said it was the Gtab model...
It doesn't work. I plugged it in...can't figure out how to get it to work.
Anybody have any ideas?
I'm running Corwin's GB CM7 RC4 rom

Did you plug it in before booting up the tablet? It seems to not work sometimes if you plug it in after the tablet is already booted up.
Just got this case. nothing but praise:

That worked...I now have a G-TableTop
I got one of these but it was the one marked for Apad/Epad/Gtab so needless to say it doesnt fit exactly but it wasnt a big deal. I am not having to many problems with the case in any way infact my stylus clips on the band quite nicely. I have noticed that the caps lock doesnt seem to work but thats another issue for another day.
Anybody find another case?
Been checking this thread and I am wondering if anyone has found a good keyboard/case? I would appreciate a link if you have found one. Thanks.

[Q] Car holder for Xperia Neo?

Hi everyone,
can you recommend me a good sturdy car holder for the Xperia Neo? I have bought this one http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-car-swivel-mount-holder-black-81053 as it had positive reviews, but the holder is really useless. The swivel section does not hold in place at all, so after several minutes the phone starts facing a direction where i cant see the display.
Basically i need the following:
- holds phone from 4 directions
- does not cover any of the buttons (incl. volume buttons)
- does not cover the loudspeaker
- can be turned horizontally
- (ideally) can be mounted on dashboard as well (my car has the lighter connector way to far from the windshield).
Well I'm searching a car holder too but I can't find anything that please me. I'll let you know if finally I found something worth to buy!
so far this is the one that looks the best, but 20 eur for a noname car kit seems to much for me... http://www.ipshop.sk/sony-ericsson-...p-2000.html?osCsid=ctachbj3vmfhjumbgagr828l45
I can't see your link but 20 € is really too much, I don't really use my phone as a navigator every day...
I bought one for 5 dollars but the only issue I have with it is it covers the volume buttons. Would like to see a good car holder for this phone too.

I read good things about exomount, and i think i'm going to buy this one.
But it will cover volume buttons.

looking at the design of the exomount i am afraid it will not only cover the volume buttons but will also permanently keep at least one of the pushed... it seems to be overpriced as well. but anyways if you decide to get one please share your experience
With my current (cheapy) holder the phone is a bit hard to get into place and if i center it, it's touching one of the volume buttons and always playing around so I have to put it off-center which, when driving can make the phone jump around a little. hope to find a better car holder soon.

I bought this one http://www.dealextreme.com/p/universal-plastic-car-swivel-mount-holder-with-suction-cup-for-cell-phone-gps-black-81246 cause I'm also using a TPU cover on my Neo.
But you could also try this : http://www.ebay.nl/itm/260770628331?ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
it should fit the Neo.
Last night, I ordered the Neo on Amazon (anxiously awaiting arrival now
While I was at it, I looked around for a car holder. I ordered this:
amazon.de/gp/product/B005EXHJ66 (Saugfußhalter = the suction thing). As I just ordered it, I don't know if it's really good - I'll post again when I have it.
It seems like it's not too ugly (I hate these 'universal' holders - they are way too bulky), and one can order extra parts to mount the phone on a bike or on the car venting holes too (search the site for Haicom and you'll find these). That also means one can just mount another bracket (for another device).
It's also available on Amazon.co.uk under another name: amazon.co.uk/dp/B005F2U32S (lot of pictures there).
While I was searching, I also came across something that can be attached to the screen or placed on the dashboard - like the topic starter asked - but I don't have the link for that anymore.
Regarding the Clingo: I considered that too - but then I read some reviews which said it left residue or the phone falls off under some temperature circumstances - so I didn't dare to try that one anymore.
I have a media that is installed on the grid certral the air outlet, it took two years and I have taken this stand Nokias, LG, Samsung .... all perfectly anchored and comfortable
I bought it at The Phone House and has never given me problems

Ok, so i got it today and it doesn't press the volume buttons.
Can recommend Griffins universal holders.
Doesn't block any buttons, ok price but if u want to charge in the same time u need to be careful with the cover. But it works
I use a generic iphone car holder from the carphonewarehouse, my neo fits it lovely.
I bought this, and still wait to receive it
it looks nice

in your opinion, car vibrations can cause problems to the phone? can brake?
It´s expensive for me 20€+shipping cost!!!!!

[Q] Bluetooth keyboard + case?

I understand the Jetsream is a fesh product at this point with few accessories.... but
Its coming down to me purchasing an HTC Jetstream or Galaxy Tab, and my loyalty with my EVO has me swayed one way. My roommate has a Galaxy Tab though with the Zagg Keyboard Case. Its pretty hot. It bumped up the functionality of the Tab quite a bit.
If something as sleek was released for the Jetstream, I would be willing to wait in order to get it. Does anyone know of such an accessory? I like the way the Zagg case for the Tab is very hard and protective and turns into a stand as well. I want to see this same concept for the Jetstream.
This is a deciding factor for me. Anyone have any news on Jetstream keyboard cases?
Thanks!
this "may" or "may not" Help
So i check out my Favorite Tech Accessories manufacturer [Logitech]
and found two keyboard that may solve your Prob.
Logitech® Tablet Keyboard for Android™ 3.0+
Logitech Keyboard Case for Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 10.1
Both can be found in on the Logitech Online store under "Tablet Accessories"
BTW in theory any Bluetooth keyboard & mouse would work just need the right
Case + Mouse + keyboard and your all set
The more I've used the tablet now, the more i like the virtual keyboard. I may wait on a hard keyboard.
i modded the $80 (at Walmart) iPad2 Kensington leather case that includes a Bluetooth keyboard. Of course had to do some cutting for the camera, cutting so the volume buttons were not being pressed, etc. Works great.
Remember... when looking at the REAR 8 Meg camera (not screen side) there are two small holes openings at the top of the unit. These seem to be light detectors for the camera, so you need to be sure the case does not block those two small diagonal holes.
Also, the center spline has enough space to velcro the HTC Scribe pen device for storage.

[Galaxy Tab 2 7.0] TPU cover - screen protector - USB otg adapter

Hi people
I wanna show my new items purchased on ebay,all cheap items, sorry for the quality, my LG O1 it's bad with cloudy day
First, the screen protector:
They aren't made for our tablet, because they are for the previus version (galaxy tab 7.0), so we need to cut a piece of layer before apply in the display because if we don't remove we can't hear from the speaker and we have problem with luminosity/proximity sensors.
In the pack there are 3 screen protector, they aren't the best because sometimes there's a scratch in the layer before you put it in the screen but it's okay for the price.
Here you can see the cut for the speaker grill, the hole for the camera is already made:
Second, the TPU cover:
It's just a silicon/plastic cover for protect our tablet from scratches in the rear case and some little knock in the angle, it prevents a lot of micro-scratches (I always put my tablet above a cloth if it is without his new tpu cover)
Third, the USB otg adapter:
This isn't the original but it has VHBW standard quality so it's perfect, I use it sometimes with flash drive, or my mouse or my keyboard for serious business LOL
Here you can buy this article:
Screen protector
TPU Cover (if you search you can find 2 other colors than black in the same seller: clear (it's semitrasparent) and pink for ladies
USB OTG adapter
Sorry dude for my english, have a nice day
This is the one I bought months ago:

I know this cover but I don't buy it because it has tpu over the volume/power button, it hasn't a hole for the microsd and the sim and it has the irda hole.
And I don't like the X style
But it was my first dream
For the USB: you can connect what you want in the female USB that came out from the adapter.
Yesterday I tried with an USB hub but tablet stop current out if you plug more than one USB (I tried with flash drive and wireless receiver for mouse) so you need to plug an USB hub with his wall socket for more current.
I suggest you a wall socket with at least 2 Ampere.
Sorry for my english
With this method you can connect more than 6 USB device (I tried with wireless receiver for mouse, 3 flash drives and a keyboard that required 2 USB port)
Is your TPU cover provide sufficient space for headphone plug?
I bought TPU in another place and need to make bigger hole, so headphone plug stays in place
