im looking for something like this http://www.discountcell.com/cellular/p/htdroid-dna_clunipodium_4
that one loses stickiness after short time according to reviewers.
anyone know of a stand/podium I can buy? just something to stand it up, for example at computer desk. I got spoiled from the kickstand on my old T-bolt.

Verizon sells these for $12 in store. Now if you use it the way it is intended it will cut off a small portion of the bottom of your screen, plus the viewing angle is a little steep. So what I did was if you notice in pic 2, that bottom flat piece is a sliding shelf for stability. I peeled the rubber foot off the bottom of it and stuck it on top, so now I can rest my DNA fully exposed backwards against the stand, and the little rubber foot keeps it from sliding off. This gives me more of a 45 degree viewing angle and looks nicer imo.

I made an aluminum stand for my gTablet today. Its nothing fancy, you can buy them online for about $30, but I'm learning to work with metal and happy with the results
I made it tall enough so that it is stable in portrait mode.

Next step will be to get our favorite green guy on there...I'm thinking acid-etched, but a sticker may be a lot simpler
Very nice.. maybe a duct tape hinge at the top bend (with a retaining piece across the middle of the two uprights) for portability?

I have a Lego stand for portability...
I can't take credit for the design - I saw something similar online and then gave my 10 year old $5 to make me something similar
Wow. That's really creative. I like both of them but especially the lego piece.

anyone plan on using Sugru instead of a case? idk how practical it would be with those 4 corner rubber pieces, if they would make it tough to put the Note in and out of my pockets...

you can order Sugru here: https://sugru.com/us/buy
anyone think that it's practical or no?
Wrong thread and I rather put a thick rubber band around it.
if an admin could move this to Accessories i'd appreciate it

Sugru corners are the best phone protection. You can't drop your phone on a regular surface and not have it hit one of the 1/8" raised corners first. The material is bouncy but stiff and takes up a ton of shock. You can peel it off and redo it. Best of all you aren't turning your 8mm thick phone into a 1" thick brick and get to keep the aesthetics that the company intended.

So presumably as long as you drop it on something flat, the thick corners will absorb the shock? Interesting. Still ugly, but..

DecalGirl has a lot of nice skins, including several wood variants:
The Skinomi is the only one with the 'n' cutout in the back, which is nice. I didn't care for the screen protector. DecalGirl provides the matching wallpaper, which can be very effective. This is my favorite for nostalgic effect:
Dang, nice. How long did it to you to put that on yours? Any problems with readjusting to find the right alignment?
Those decalgirls skins look decently affordable. I might get one of those.

The NST is a pretty simple shape, so it didn't take long. Once you get everything aligned around the major openings, use a blow dryer to get the corner bits to wrap.
You'll notice I didn't bother with the button cover and some other fiddly bits. The little 'n' button is easy to align on, though mine is a tiny bit crooked. You can adjust them before you press down, but they do stretch if you remove them once in place.
Like so many folk, the band on my Moto360 Sport tore. Pain in the ass. I got it fixed/replaced once, but of course, it tore again. No such luck the second time around. But I love my watch. Its not perfect, but I love it. So with traditional fixes out the window, I moved to non-traditional fixes. I believe that the pics below illustrate an elegant solution:

interesting. My strap just broke out of warranty. I was looking for a silicone glue but even for a tiny amount it would cost 20$ for something thats a 50/50 fix.
I cant beleive Moto designed something like this, its the first thing I said when I recieved it as a gift "what happens when the strap breaks?"
Im going though different repair mods in my head. Im debating if I can cut out a space in the the rubber the size and shape of a regular pinned ban and then use either a pin or long thin screw to hold it in.
nice job but where did you get that little metal piece an does it ding into your arm?
I just got my new phone after using an S8 for 5 years. But I had the LED View case on that one, keeping it together with duct tape when it started falling apart and the LED feature broke. The reason being the auto smart wake and sleep when opening and closing the cover.
So since Samsung stopped making those covers for this generation and their only official wallet cover has a big hole in it, which I am a bit on the fence about, I was wondering if anyone else had found any other decent ones with the feature.
I don't personally care about storing cards in the case but mostly just being able to cover the screen. Don't need it to magnetically shut either, honestly, I would prefer if it didn't since I heard it can mess with the S Pen.
The auto/smart wake and sleep feature isn't really advertised often so unless I can find a video where I see it working I have no idea if the case has that feature or not, so does anyone else have a case that does it they would recommend? A bit desperate atm. with how slippery it is, and not laying flat on tables as well..

My S8 case was a trooper.
