Motorola HS805 for $25 direct from motorola.. also comes with a free belt clip/holster thingy
http://motorola.digitalriver.com/DR...stor&Locale=en_US&Env=BASE&productID=36081600
again, can't vouch for the quality here.. i've got the 700 and i love it..
For those of you that have the Jawbone (www.jawbone.com) you are probably like me and don't like the ear "gel" that comes with it. My personal favorite is the ear gel that comes with the Jabra headsets. Well, take the one that came with the Jawbone off and put the one that came with the Jabra on. It fits great and also allows the sound to channel right to your ear like on the Jabra. I can now say I'm totally happy with my Jawbone. Just needed the right ear gel adapter. Hope this post helps others out there. ;-)
Does Jabra gel fit exact as Jawbone one? I am have same problem as you with Jawbone.

It fits very snug and doesn't "rotate" like the stock one that comes with the jawbone but it fits. I went to Jabra's website and ordered a pack of gels just for my Jawbone.
If you're concerned and you have a buddy with a Jabra. Borrow one of the ear gels that he's not using and give it a try for yourself. I think you'll be happy with the results. I've already gotten replies from others that have tried this and everyone that has tried it is happy with the results. One of my buddies even uses his Jawbone without the wire that goes behind the ear. His stays in his ear without the wire since he's put on the Jabra ear gel.
Interesting And I gave out my jabra

You can order a kit of the gels from www.jabra.com, they are cheap. I ordered two sets to have spares.
http://www.jabra.com/Sites/Jabra/NA-US/pages/Search.aspx?k=Gels
Do you have the model number of Gels you ordered?
I searched on Jabra with Gels or miniGels and their site shows nothing.

This is weird. I ordered them directly from the website but now i can't find them. I have to head out for a little while but I'll search again when I get back and try to get you the part numbers. Damn Jabra keeps changing their website. Leave it along JABRA...leave it alone! LOL
L8r
I found my order. The item number, description and price are as follow:
13059, Jabra MiniGels, $5.50
Hope this helps. Not sure why I could no longer find it on the site but I purchased it directly from Jabra. I ordered two kits for myself.
Just looked over the invoice. Jabra is using Hellodirect.com for their sales site. I just checked Hellodirect.com and they are there. Just go to the site and do a search for the item number 13059. The page will come up for you.
ltxda,
Thanks a lot.
I will check it out today.

Looks like it from the pics. I hope they work for you.
I've ordered them, just in case...
But I find the Jawbone fits comfortably with the oval shaped gel supplied, and stays in my ear without using the earloop.
I'm liking it so far.
Different Ear Gel Mod
I just purchased a new Jawbone and I too think the ear gels supplied from Jawbone are horrible. My problem is not comfort, it is that these ear gels do not seal off the ear very well and let in a lot of ambient noise. It works fine in a quite room but add some ambient noise and it becomes very hard to hear. I have a Jabra and I tried the ear gels from it and I could not get the Jabra ear gels to fit at all. I think it is because the Jabra's speaker faces 90 degrees different then the one on the Jawbone. I need an ear gel the faces directly into my ear, not sideways. Maybe the Jabra gel works great for some people but everyone's ears must be different. I tried something else that worked great for me.
I took off the supplied ear gel and bought some heat shrink tubing. I cut off a fairly short piece and fitted it over ear piece where the original gel should go. After heat shrinking the tube using a lighter, I ended up with a fairly small diameter tube coming directly out of the Jawbone speaker. This ended up small enough that I was able to slide the old ear gel right over the top of the shrunk tube. The tube now coming off of the jawbone speaker is a similar size to the one found on many of today's in ear headphones. I ended up taking one of the gels off of a set of headphones made by skull candy and slid it over this new tube. Now I have an ear gel that fits very snug into my ear canal and does a great job of eliminating ambient noise. It does not come off the Jawbone at a right angle like the Jabra gels do. I love the way it fits and I can wear it all day.
So I had this old swiss army slim vertical messenger bag that I got from target years ago for $20. It was used to lug maps, water, and camera while touring italy, but now re purposed to lug my new gtab. I also picked up an even smaller one from Ross for $9 the other day. Both have 2 large main compartments with the smaller front compartment full of little pockets, clips, and zippered areas for nicknacks. The cool thing about this new man bag is that the rear compartment is actually padded (it didn't say it was for netbooks or anything) and it fits the gtab like a glove - like it was specifically made for it...
oh great, I'm too new to post links. just add the www in front...

That's a good looking bag. Not as much "man-bag-esque" as some of the other bags I've seen folks here posting. When I need a bag I've been using my Targus CityGear Netbook Bag.
On my last trip to Italy 3 years ago I got my wallet pick-pocketed while exiting a subway car in Rome. I knew the moment I stepped onto the walkway that my wallet was gone. Ended up wasting a whole day on the phone with my credit card companies to cancel the cards and to have them express ship replacements to me in Florence and then dealing with my bank to wire me cash. It sucked. That event forever tainted Italy for me. Since then I've avoided Italy like a rash and instead enjoyed the rest of western europe.
That's a good bag too. I tend to like the more vertical ones because they stick out less and you don't bump people as much in crowded situations, but you have to dig down further to get little stuff at the bottom. That sucks about loosing your stuff. We had been warned about pick pockets and used those slim necklace wallets that you wear under your shirt for money, credit cards, passports, etc and a cheap decoy wallet with monopoly money in my back pocket. I guess we looked like bums, cause no one stole it...
I've been using a Timbuk2 D-Lux Messenger bag for the last several weeks. It's a little bit pricey (about $90) but it is made in the USA, and it feels REALLY solid. On top of that, it has all kinds of cool features, like a cinch clip for the strap, so you can easily tighten the strap up so it's not constantly bouncing off your backside, and a retainer strap that goes around your side, so it stays in place on a bike. I keep my G-Tablet, some big Sennheiser can headphones (I'm an audio technician), snacks, pens, extra cables, etc. in mine.
Here's a link: (Mine is the black/grey/lime scheme)
http://www.amazon.com/Timbuk2-Strip...1?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1303417129&sr=1-1
Edit: Mine is the small size, which still has a decent sized main compartment. The laptop slot is where I keep the G-Tab, and there is plenty of room for it there, since it is designed for a 13" laptop.

I have the Targus bag mentioned above and I like it. It holds the G-Tab perfectly and has a second compartment for a book or papers as well as other pockets. It works well and is inexpensive. Not the most stylish though.

Where did you get the Ross $9 bag ? Can you post a link. I'm assuming that is the one that fits the Gtab like a glove?
Sorry, I don't have a link to the one at Ross. My local store just happened to have it next to a bunch of discontinued computer bags and iPad cases for $8.99
this is a better picture of it when fully stuffed, but I certainly saved a lot by rummaging through Ross...

This is what I use for my man purse:
http://www.irvsluggage.com/David-King-Distressed-Leather-Laptop-Messenger-Bag-Brown/DK-B-6111
Pricey, but I love the distressed leather look, and it's extremely sturdy.
I also have the Targus bag mentioned above, works great and lots of room for other stuff. I originally bought it for my gateway netbook, which is now for sale since I love my gTab so much
still a man-purse if I'm not a man? ... yes, I think so.
I am using a "FINATEX EXTRA SMALL - Multimedia Vertical Messenger" from Tucano, and really like it.
The padded and fuzzy-lined pocket fits the naked gtab well. (If cased, would fit fine in un-lined area.)
Very slim bag, but I can squeeze a cased kindle 2 in there also in a pinch.
Standout feature: handles earphone cord to an mp3 player extremely well.
tucanousa.com/PhotoDetails.asp?ShowDESC=N&ProductCode=BFITXS-C
Pros:
+ very slim vertical form
+ quality materials, well constructed, excellent stitching
+ earphone cord from mp3 pocket snakes up inside strap
+ I thought the $35 price was good in light of the quality & 'look'
+ available in black, coffee, or red (the red struck me as more feminine) all the same size, despite the confusing descriptions on the website.
Cons:
- smaller zippered area has only the small mp3 pocket to help organize the slim vertical space. no other pockets or loop attachments for wallet, keys, pen, etc. can be a bit awkward/snug since it's only accessible from the top.
- slim flat shape does not accommodate bulky items well. (However, the charging brick fits fine, especially if I un-clip the plug.)
This is not a 'kitchen sink' bag by any means, but is excellent for carrying the essentials... including the gtab of course!
By way of example... what's in my bag today:
1. large zippered section has room to spare: gtab, lens-cloth in pouch, (no charging brick today...)
2. small zippered section is fairly full with: wallet, 3x5"-ish moleskin notebook, cell phone (in mp3 pocket), house key, random girl-stuff
3. water bottle holder is clipped to the external loop. my giant supplemental keyring clips here too on the rare day I need to carry it.

Thanks for the link - 4 inches - a little deeper than I thought but I guess that means lots of room for other things.

Love the look of this! And thinking leather might be the way I want to go. Is it too big for the gtab? I want a serious man purse that fits my gtab and a few other odds and ends (phone, portable charger, hdmi cord, pens).
http://www.irvsluggage.com/David-King-Distressed-Leather-Unisex-Bag-Brown/DK-B-6452
- Wondering if this one would be big enough. Hoping to go check it out in person as this website looks to have stores in my area!
I went w/ a folio case w/ a built in stand and that $5 neoprene case that was at target or something. Folio cases are the way to go.
Man Purse for GTab
It's A Satchel!
I have an old bag that used to hold a now non-functional cordless screwdriver case that fits the Gtab well. Not nearly as nice as some of those listed here but the price was right and it does the job. It is certainly "manly" enough with the "Black and Decker" logo emblazened on the side. Haha.
Man Purse, LOL.
amazon.com/gp/product/B0014LTYQK
Just got this for an upcoming trip. Fits the GTab like a glove. Handy side pocket works great for my G2.
I've loved this topic. I ended up getting the Swissgear bag with a sling type strap from Target. It fits the Gtab perfectly. I'm using it as a purse (I'm not a man) and on days I want to take the tab with me, I just slide it in the back zippered pocket and take it on the go,
Anybody have this Bluetooth speaker?
On ebay they are 10$ cheaper from same seller.
thanks!
http://www.musemini.com/
Its a tin can....with a cheap speaker on one end.
I've got a Veho360 bluetooth speaker which is the same thing but a plastic casing instead of metal.
Sure its a cheap speaker in a can, a very small can.. But it also gets pretty darn loud, and sounds surprisingly good for what it is. Plus, it cannot be beat for portability/quality of sound.
The Veho's are available on amazon typically in the 30 dollar range.
I've thought about ordering one of these before just because of the color options, and the metal casing.
This looks ok?

Got this.
I know most people who try to exersize with their note...well find problems haha.
Here's a convienent solution I use when exersizing/running with my note:
Motorola S10-HD Bluetooth headphones...sweatproof and they don't annoyingly bounce. I use power AMP pro with my note and the equalizer does an excellent job in bringing crystal clear quality to the headphones:
http://www.amazon.com/Motorola-S10-HD-Bluetooth-Headphones-Microphone/dp/B004BHCSQC
For running/exersizing wih my note I use a Nathan running pack. It has plenty of room for a naked note and with a casemate tough it fits snug and DOES NOT bounce around. If you use a bumper it might..probably won't fit because bumpers have large protrusions. Otherwise your TPU cases and whatnot will definately fit and can be found here:

those headphones are great... only my damn head is too big. they don't fit comfortably...
I'm going to order one of these for running:

http://www.obostore.com/armband-arm-case-pouch-for-samsung-galaxy-note-p-4174.html
When I wear long pants I carry it in my pocket just fine. With shorts it swings around too much because of the partially detached pockets in shorts. I've been carrying it in my hand when I run but my luck will eventually run out doing it that way.

Can you post a pic of it on? Does it sit on your arm or what? I've been held to the treadmill because of the size of the phone, LOL....and with a rubberized case, it doesn't slide off the treadmill, but I miss the streets! As a chic, it's kinda hard to strap this thing to my arm! LOL!

Rather be fat then wear a fanny pack
I never had good luck with those moto headphones. To me they sounded like crap and bounced all over the place with the weight on the headband. I ended up going with a cheap pair of rocketfish which have served me wonderfully for a couple years now. I do all my PT in a gym so I leave my phone with my bottle and towel on the floor beside whatever machine I'm on other then an eliptical or treadmill which have cup holders. But I leave my note in my truck locked up and use my old unlocked Vibrant. Has a ton of music and if it gets stolen I'll remote wipe it and be find an alternative.

To be honest man, I have a completely different experience. The weight of the headphones hover like...they gently rest on the back of your neck when you run, the only way you notice them is the feeling on your ears. I've done situps with them on so there is absolutely no interference. I think this works universally for women, although for men our head sizes greatly vary so it "kinda" depends
Also about the music:
power amp pro changes your entire music life, the equalizers really really REALLY enhance the music quality enabling you to get crystal clear quality. I do admit their not stunningly crisp but their sweatproof workingout bt headphones. If u want bt quality for not too expensive I HIGHLY suggest anybody to buy artic Lansing bt headphones (I have them and they sound better than my wired planetronics with bass boosters)

I just couldnt get used to them. Maybe my head was too narrow , maybe I had a previous version before some adjustments were made, and maybe I just had a bad pair. Who knows. I really wanted to like them as the low profile seemed perfect. But that's why there are more then one of just about everything, no such thing as a true one size fits all.
PS...your still wearing a fanny pack
