Anyone seen/tried this?

same as the official Nokia one(dunno the model)... the pull out leash is the PLus and the Minus of this pouch..
minus: pulling it accidentally makes the phone eject and fly out!
pluses: good make quality...stitches etc.

post any accesories that you want hopefully some manufacturer will read this as as yet there is little avaiable except screen protectors so heres an idea
how about a case that protects the shift but heres the clever partwith a solar panel built in so it will charge and thus extend the battery life of this amazing machine?
any other ideas ?

how about also shrinking it to size of athena and when bac in use makes it same size. would make it pocketable though
i dont know if any one is fammiliar with the company called incase...
they have great cases for iphone.. hard rubber silicon. I hope they can come out with something like that for athena....
or most phones.
My family own a plastic manufacturing company in middle east. i might have to check with them to see about manufacturing some accessories....

Or do what the rest of us Athena Owners have done, get yourself a
"Tuff as Nuts" case.. Much better build quality.
Solor panel bag

HOW MUCH !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
First, there has got to be a slick docking station similar the one for OQO 2. Lan port, 3 usb, optical drive, vga out, PCMIA slot, and throw in a big ass battery to charge the Shift from when the onboard goes dry. Long trips you can bring the docking/charing station. A shoulder bag for this would be great as well, 7" screen isn;t going to fit in the pocket so nicely, but a minimal stylish shoulder bag could work pretty well.
Of course, accessories won't matter if nonbody buys it cause the GPS and voice are disabled Really, without GPS, voice, and the ability for both OS's to access all the storage resources you are going to have to carry a phone anyway so why would you buy this and not a cheap mini-laptop for half as much?
For in-car use
a car charger
a car cradle
case
how bout a hard case with a flat bottom and holes for vents and ports on sides so its usuable on lap, and solar panel not so much to get it 12volts id have to cover the whole screen and even then id tske hours to chage like 6 or 7 so id basically be usuless in less u sit outside in bright sun all day and dont want to see anything in less it flipped up that might work then i block sun out too to cut black glare,
a bigger internal battery
i would love..
a battery around 4000 ma even with a bigger cover.
...maybe an official upgrade of wm side, by paying the full licence but with a good implementation of qualcom grafic drivers
finaly.. if ppctechs could provide a 256 ram update , plus a micro sd slot . they can do it
I believe HTC Shift will have probably a short life cycle... As this is their first "rather mature" product of this kind. They are surveying the market, know the design flaws and specification mitakes. The next one should be now specified at 80% already.
I'm confident we will see lot of improvements on the device itself (but this is not the topic of this thread). Let's focus on accessories as this is also a weak area when comes to HTC Shift offer. From HTC, I just see the following:
- Extended Battery (for heavy user and because... this is a great margin generator. ).
- Docking Station (more USB ports, VGA output, Ethernet).
Third party manufacturers can take care of the rest (Car Craddle/Charger, Cases, ...) but they will do it only if the next product has good sales or benefits from strong HTC support. Due to short HTC SHift life cycle, I dont think HTC is pushing hard for having partners making accessories.
Hi , I get tired of holding the device at reasonable level in front of me while watching episodes/movie during flight.
It seems possible to bend some plastic to fix the HTC to the raised eating tray (jam the "holder" between the closed tray..)
did you see something like this before ? - or any similar solution ?

Not seen one but sounds great!...sounds like you have the idea.
It isn't too difficult to make something like this from aluminium, or even perspex plastic just some considered bending.
I am a steel fabricator(amongst other things!) next time you are on the plane take some cardboard with you and make a dummy one with it, then you can use it later to make one from something more substantial.... and sell them all over the world to Iphone users!
yes, it would need to be a flexible material, yet hold a device without acting too much as a a spring.
I don't think "one size fits all" - it have to be adjustable in height/distance to the user.
Too bad a suction cup won't work.
I use one of these in my car. Works great.

I found !
It's sold as accessory for a certin crappy, censorship, survelliance-device.
- but it works great for Touch Pro2 too !
it's called "in your face" viewbase
you can find it on Ebay
perhaps i am being a little too demanding, but i wanna know what phone most closely resembles my "TrIXteR" as far as button/jacks go....the Atrix is my first smartphone and still works "perfectly"....but i do realize it won't last forever.....i also understand the quad-core device choices are limited, and more will come....i just want a phone has tactile features that are similar'...i am using go launcher & widget locker, so the screen layout means nothing to me, i was and will be rooted again but do not use any roms...point is any stock android will suffice as far as UI...i just know what is inevitable ...my phone will be replacedd, and wanna plan ahead...that said, screen/demention/hardware don't matter as muc as where the volume, charger, headphone, and power button are located.
Personally I'm really disliking this pattern of newer phones getting bigger & bigger.. The new GS4 has a 5" screen??!?!?!?!?!
I've grown accustomed to Atrix's 4" screen but am willing to go up to 4.5-4.7" for the replacement. Keeping other features in mind too, I'm kinda liking the HTC One X+ or the full blown HTC One. Smaller still is the slightly older HTC One V & it still has nice features
i agree...size does matter....especially when an otterbox defender is on it...
It's a tough call. I personally pay close attention to accessories, which the Atrix 4G has many.
Not having to fiddle with cords is why I liked the Atrix 4G standard dock. Wireless charging will likely be a favorite accessory as that's what most of us use the most.
In-car use is a winner also using the car dock. For new phones, having an easy to use dock will help, or perhaps a wireless charging surface, which will stop the phone from sliding around, therefore doubling as a suitable dock surface.
I would only buy a phone with a maximum screen size of 5" for one handed use. It's amazing that a human thumb can stretch that far as it is.
Outer casing is critical in my mind. This is where the Atrix 4G fell short with it smooth plastic sides. As soon as your hands are dry, holding a smooth plastic phone in your hands is the same as clutching a melting ice cube. Therfore a phone with some amount of texture wins in my mind. In addition, the material that the outer rim to the screen is made from will determine if a shock is transmitted directly to the point of impact or transmitted evenly to the device.
I'm --> <-- this close to choosing my next phone, but knowing that the Snapdragon 800 is coming to market makes it hard to settle on something today.
I replaced mine with a galaxy note i717. Big phone. I like it. I think the galaxy s2 is basically the same phone but smaller. I replaced my wife's matrix with a pantech burst. You can get one on eBay for less than $100 USA. It has official ICS and there is development going on for cm10. note is on cm10.1. Burst screen seams better than atrix to me. Burst battery not as good and charge port is oddly placed in middle of right side
Hi
maybe u can try, nexus 4 or LG L7 that are good phones and have almost the same ergonmics
Anyone think we'll have the option for wireless sometime?
You'd need a power adapted case which would add a lot of weight and bulk, not worth it in my opinion.
Ok. Sounds logical. Thanks!
A slip-up like this tells you everything you need to know about the likelihood of this phone ever making it to you front door! x5 emails, not one ever getting a reply! So much for marketing advice? Put an external aerial port, a micro surface mount IPX pop connector and cable out to either a Yagi or a Cantenna. What use is either 4g or 5g when you have no signal bars to connect with? I would happily find a quiet place to work, then sit on a hill with a directional external antenna to make a good connection to update my project for the day. But these guys don't care! I want my money back, 30-05-2022! Except how? Crowdfunding? NEVER again!
