$4 buy a sim cutter on ebay. Save urself the hassle
the package will take too long to arrive. do you know of a template thats made for letter sized paper?
I cut my sim to micro sim using these measurements and a ruler: http://walyou.com/how-to-make-a-micro-sim-card-for-your-iphone-4/
Remeber: cut a little bit at the time, it's easier to take off than put back on!
Lol...i cut mine looking at a photo with my pocket knife...shaved the sides til it fit. Not saying do it but im not sure how much margin for error there is as the contact plates are quite large

Just cut the sim from a bold 9900 to size for an s3 with kitchen shears, worked flawlessly and only took about 5 minutes... if you heave steady hands it fairly easy, no rocket science to this.
A lot of phone shops have a SIM cutter, got mine cut for free, but best to also order one from your carrier as well
cut mine with a pair of scissors.

It's just a normal micro-SIM slot. Ask your carrier for a new SIM card, because maybe the next phone you'll get, doesn't support micro-SIM, but USIM and then you're buggered

Has anybody found a credit card enabled Wizard case?
The closest I've seen is the Krusell case - www.krusell.se - but this is just too small...
This is seriously hampering my impulse gadget buying!

Not a good idea. If you have the credit cards next to the PDA the GSM transmitter could erase the magnetic stripe.
Not forgetting that the Wizard uses a magnet for rotating the screen...

Hmmm...I've been using an XDA2 for 2 years with credit cards in a Krusell case. Have not had any probs with demag of cards from GSM transmitter of XDA2...so why would this one?
Where is the magnet situated for landscape?
This too is the thing which is holding up my switch from xda2 to Wizard...hope somebody makes a case with that in mind.
To anyone in or out of the US, we have a show called mythbusters on the discovery/learning channel. They did a test on credit cards and found that it takes quite a bit to clear/damage the data on the mag strip (the new credit cards especially (ya know, anything past 1990)). Hope it helps!
the only magnetic strip i ever had that got erased by my phone was a room key at a hostel in Melbourne. Most hotels throw them away after one use, but this cheap hostel reused them to keep costs down and constant reprogramming made them tempermental. If I forgot and shoved that key into my pocket with my T28 I would have to get it reprogrammed everytime.
I had a magentic money clip which ate credit card strips if I dropped it onto the wrong pocket. Mind you, that was a long time ago, and it was a strong magent. I've always kept credit cards in the case next to my other XDAs without problems.
I've been using the Krussell case for the Wizard for a couple of months now, and it's great.
A really good clip and release mechanism, well crafted, and it now takes 3 credit cards after a bit of stretching. Easily the best case I've ever had.
I have had cards (lotsa cards with mag strip) in my wallet which also have a contact-less card. If you know the workings behind the contact-less card, you would know that there is a magnetic field on the reader that gives your card the power to process and send the signal. I think that would be much stronger than a mobile phone signal and also the freq would be much lower, hence easier to disstort any magnectic strip. However, I have been using the card for 2 years+ everyday and I don't have problems with my creditcards.
BTW, I've did a test on floppy disk on those magnetic telephone book (those that use two pieces of magnet as cover). And it seems impossible to erase the stuff on the disk. I guess you need a much stronger magnet.
Hello. I have used my wizard intensely for about an year or so and I am sad to say its looks are awfull now(i forgot to mention I work in sales and I have a very strong relationship with my phone). As I am from Bucharest, it is very hard for me to find a genuine original case, and not an aluminium or leather protective one. Is there any chance I could find one of those cases and what would the costs be?
Thanx

Credit card mag strip
Mythbusters proved that simple magnets (even neo) eel skin and a lot more things wont affect a magnetic strip. They ended up using a really strong electro magnet and only partially damaged the strip.
Here's one I wouldn't mind parting with.
This one works with the Cingular 8125
It has 2 SD card slots and 2 Credit Card slots on each side of the wallet section.
The only flaw in it is a rip on the side. But it still will function normally, to hold the device.
I would sell it to you for $10.00 US Dollars plus S/H.
If your interested, let me know.

Do not know who they are kidding with such a small watch band would like to buy a larger watch band. (Adult size)
I am on the last two holes of the kids size (small wrist size) band.
Anybody know where I can order large watch band? (Canada)
Yeah the band is ridiculously small. As long as it fits though, I'm fine.
Me I can not decide if it fits,
Wear it slightly above the wrist, even on the last two holes I see a imprint where the watch was attached when I take it off.
Should be slightly snug (for the heart rate), it is.
I will keep my eye open, eBay should start selling larger straps soon.

You must have massive wrists. I'm 6'2" and weigh 205 and I'm not having an issue with the band size.

I concur. I have two additional notches left and I am a big boy.
Have you tried the other wrist? Perhaps your non-dominant one.
I am a big guy myself, got one hole left and I changed my mind.
Just needed to get used to it, I hardly know I am wearing it now.
If I get a new watch strap it maybe just for a different colour.
Inspired from the commercial showing the fit, I think it'd be possible to get a leather cuff/bracelet and cut out a hole the size of the Fit face and wear it that way. I'll look around for just such a thing
I think you first have to be fit before you can wear the gear fit
But true, it's a really kids size wrist band. Would love to see a all leather variant with decent size. Even a metal band would be great! Are you reading with us Samsung?

You can buy standard an XL size.
Okay but here in Holland there was a great offer where you got the gear fit for free with your galaxy s5 you didn't had the choice in size...

You can buy new strap in every official Samsung Store in country. In my small country (Slovakia) we have 3 official stores and also in other shops you can buy it. I have one standard size in black color and one XL size in orange color. But XL is too big for me.

Maybe they like Europe?
Canada has 3 stores, all out west and I am not driving 4000 or 5000km to see if they have wrist straps, me I bought one from eBay orange, standard size. Like I said the strap was not to small just had to get used to it.
Too small?!?! I'm dying for a smaller one! Yes I am a woman a not so small woman but these really aren't designed for us no smart watch right now is. I got the fit because it was the smallest of them all and mine is all the way in with the loop almost doubled!
The goof!
I wouldn't mind if the band were two notches larger.
I found the band too much hassle to fit quickly so got hold of a folding buckle, trimmed the band lengths, made holes for the spring pins and now the gear fits like a watch, just the right side of snug. Simple DIY job as I couldn't find anything in stores.
KMD19, That is a nice solution. I think I've seen those metal bands that have a pin for the watch band holes to still make it adjustable.
dwwright. Yes they are easily obtainable from the Amaz - Bay. I plan on making some more using the standard straps in various colours. It's the raised bumps on the underside of the standard strap that provides the space/thickness for the holes required. I used a cork board pin from both sides to make mine, after I'd cut off the excess strap, that was the only tricky bit.
In the UK I waited a but as the Samsung site was only shipping large bands, called said wait for small no stock, then emailed and got told for Europe only the Large band would be sold ???
It's way too damning big

This isn't exactly for the Nexus 6 but since it uses a nano sim I thought i would have to shelve my N5. I got these adapters so I could keep my nexus 5. The nano to micro works well.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00G26XWDI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Yeah i bought the same one, was hoping it would be an easy swap. Because i use different phones and this is the first time encountering a nano sim, however i found it a little difficult to swap, first the nano SIM sits very tightly on the adapter, second the adhesives that is used really keeps that Sim in there really tight, i had to use an exacto knife to pry it out , yes it works but i don't know about constantly switching it out between phones every week, kind of bummed because i don't know of another solution, I'm curious you didn't find it difficult to get out of the adapter? Then i thought the adhesive isn't going to last long., I'm hoping to find a better or faster solution ,i also puchased the Note Edge i thought with the adapter kit it would make it easy to switch between the two .but that hasn't been the case for me.
I don't use the adhesive. It's pretty tight so I don't think the sim is going to go anywhere. Been pretty easy to switch the couple of times of done it in testing.
Those are GARBAGE!!! Check these out:
I am not sure if this is the case for the n5 but for the HTC one m8, there are custom Sim trays online that take nano Sim. Its more useful than that adapter.

Does anyone know where I can get an actual Motorola SIM tray for the N6? I've ordered two from Ebay now, both fit poorly (they don't sit flush). As you can see in the attachment, the metal portion of the SIM tray is quite a bit thicker on the silver tray (the knockoff) vs the blue tray (the original Moto tray).
TIA!
Justin
I ordered this one from an Amazon marketplace seller and it was a perfect fit for my N6:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00WW21VS4/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_KLNrwb8D31W3B
The seller is in China so shipping took forever but it was worth the wait. I believe he sells blue and silver colored trays but there's no way to specify which color you want at checkout so be sure to send a seller contact email asking for your color preference.
Perfect, thank you, I'll give that one a try!

I know really. I've heard of people losing their sim trays.
Didn't loose it (or break it) i swapped my frame to the cloud white frame, and need the matching sim tray!

Hi guys,
I purchased my U ultra in Taiwan about 3 weeks ago. My cousin (who lives there) sent on a gift pack that I received as a result of the purchase of the phone.
It was presented nicely in a big box, (no pics cuz I asked him to dump it for shipping's sake).
Here are the items:
https://goo.gl/photos/iJAfArr95rLYsdkv8

Case is made well, smells of rich leather. Has multiple card slots inside, with 2 larger full length slits, for folded bills, or receipts. On the rear of the case is another card slot, perfect for travel cards, or a tap and pay credit card.

Best of the three is the powerbank imo. Supports QC 3.0.
Very nice! I like that power bank.
is there anyway to get those for the international version I really wanna get both lol idc how much it is as long as its below 60$ case I just prefer HTC man equipment with my phone
Got mine from HK - got that pack too. Key chain, power bank with usb-A to usb-C cable & the leather flip case
