Lots of goggles in Amazon. The really good ones, like Zeiss are way too expensive. I bought Pop Tech 3D VR glasses. Had a cheaper pair, Joy Geek.. Returned them. My new glasses being delivered on Wednesday Dec. 30.[emoji2]

This is what I am using. Fits nicely and has a remote control..not sure if we can just use Bluetooth remotes (wiimote would be nice) haven't really tried them yet.
Do any of these work for a Nexus 6 with a thin cover, such as a Seidio Surface? I'd love to try one, but don't want to have to remove my cover every time I use it.

I was looking to get this one. Can you see everything on your screen? Our phones are pretty big.

Yeah it fits very snug in the headset...comes with some padding to situate it correctly...the volume buttons kept getting pushed until I figured out where to put the sticky pads...
As far as the viewing ...I can see everything...you have to move the eye lenses around to make it clearer but I can see the corners very well.
Overall I would highly recommend. Pretty cheap so no reason not to.
Make sure to check out the Star Wars app for some very cool VR stuff.
Also there is NO WAY to use any case as the phone BARELY fits as it is....it does fit but has to be naked.
What good software goes with specific pair of VR goggles? Do not want to spend bucks on a headset and find nothing useful to run using it.
You gotta pay to play

Not much yet mostly slightly interactive videos...some games but its in development still. Don't buy if you don't want to but it will only get more development as time goes on. If you want something to google while your looking for software...try this
https://www.google.com/search?q=tri...id-tmobile-us&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8
It let's you remote your PC with a vr headset
Can confirm it works pretty well with gta5 in first person.
As long as your PC and WiFi are above average.

Could you please-please-please post some photos of the phone inside? Is it a set it and forget it setup, where you can adjust everything once and then just easily drop the phone in or do you have to align the phone centrically each time you drop it in?

Just curious, why would you want a cardboard when you can get a proper VR headset made out of plastic, which also you don't have to hold with one hand for about as much?
For the remote -- search aliexpress or gearbest for "bluetooth vr remote".

I would rather have a plastic one with head straps, but previous posters have said that the Nexus 6 doesn't fit in them. I have asked and searched for one that will fit, but no luck. Ideally, I'd like to find one that will fit my phone with a case, but it might take a next generation for that to happen.
I want to buy one for my Nexus 6. Those with experience with these gadgets, which one would you advice ? Price isn't a concern as long as it is not more than 50$.
Thanks.

I have another model which I bought a year if not more ago for my Nexus 5, but for Nexus 6 the VR Box 2 seems to be the winner features-wise. Last I checked it could be had from aliexpress for less than $30 with remote and shipping all in.
Hey all,
Just stopping in to say I purchased the VRBox 2 from Gearbest.com about two weeks ago. It should be arriving today according to the tracking number. I'll post an update when I get it and try and take some photos and give you guys details on how the Nexus 6 (not 6p) fits in there and how the VR is.
It cost me 25 USD and I ended up paying 10 dollars extra for express shipping which still in my opinion took way to long.
Will post an update tonight after I mess with the headset.

Hello all!
So, if the winter storms allow it, on Thursday I will have my Xperia Ultra to replace my beloved Note 2. Shame on you Samsung for the "amazing" .18" display size increase of Note 3!
Anyways, as always I like to have my phone ready with some accessories.
I am still a bit confused about this whole magnetic charger thingy so please provide any feedback, recommendations etc or something I might be missing as well! :good:
For first...a basic cheap case for normal use..unless I change my mind and get something with a flip.
Cheapo case
Or maybe this one too for now as a battery and more protective case:
Case and 5000mAh battery
Car mount:
Mount
Finally for now this one confuses me: the dock/charger thing:
Are either of this the same and do I need something else besides the doc...? Like I have read about a magnetic cable too.
Doc1
Doc2
I am still wanting a stylus but I would like some sort of case with a thin stylus that I can hide into the case...yes, I am used to my note spen
And also I was planning to get my usual Zagg screen protector but not sore sure if anyone has tried it since a search for Zagg showed no results.
Thanks for any help!
dealxtreme
I have deleted my long list of Xperia Z Ultra accessories found of dx.com/dealxtreme.com because they are utterly useless.
I ordered five things and ensured that they were not marked out of stock. A week later they sent me an email saying they couldn't send because something was out of stock. It proved impossible to respond to them: email bounced, phone numbers didn't work or were never answered, website chat didn't work. Their online ticketing system didn't allow creating a ticket to discuss order, you had to enter a SKU code and I didn't know which item was in doubt. Eventually I stumbled on a ticket type I could create (problem with paying) so I sent them a message and they admitted there were three items of the five they couldn't get! They asked for more time, after five days I told them to cancel the order with a full refund.
So, stay away from DX.com / dealxtreme.com as they are clearly utterly utterly useless.
This is the dock I got and have had good experiences with it. It is slow to charge but works well as a stand for you to charge your phone overnight.

How slow? The original DK30 uses around 2 hours to charge from 0-100%.
I see that Brando also have a bunch of X Z U accessories:
http://mobile.brando.com/shop/Sony-Xperia-Z-Ultra
they're more expensive than DX, but Brando in my experience are usually good quality and offer good customer service.
I've still not seen a car dock that I want to buy, I want one that will hold my XZU whilst its in its case, and attach to the windscreen. So far universal tablet holders designed for smaller tablets have looked like the best option.

Regarding car dock, I got one from infiniapps, really like the design and you can use it with a case, works better with a thin case. I would recommend the tablet version and then buy 2 of the phone metal inserts.

I bought this windscreen mount. Works really well as was designed specifically for the Ultra
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItemVersion&item=360722447342&view=all&tid=441532569023
I'd stick with the DK30 dock. The maglock cable i used from DX.com wrecked my ultra. (after plugging in the magdock cable it started playing up. charging and discharging irregularly. Had to have a full mainboard replacement.) So its been 6 weeks and my ultra is finally being sent back to me after a major repair.
Link not working, can you try again?

Good call, ordered some stuff for my Z1 while some month ago. Got a mail saying everything was shipped however the tracking number went nowhere. Waited some month, nothing and tracking number still a dud. Have emailed them several times with no response. I will never order there again. Is Brando more reliable?

|'ve bought things a few times from Brando and not been let down but not for a couple of years as it's often easiest to buy off ebay. I've not heard bad things about them, so I would be happy to buy off them.

Hello!
I have been using the ZGPAX S5 watch. It is very powerful, not sure if you have seen some of the videos I uploaded but it runs emulators like MAME, Dreamcast and can even use the PS3 controller
BUT, the company that built it is as good it if did not exist because forget about any support from them.
So if no dev picks it up, you are not going to get much from it.
It is more of a Standalone watch than a companion to your phone. Currently only using an app called TableTak is how you can get text messages and reply from the watch.
For charging I bought the original DK30 magnetic charger. Expensive but well worth it.
As for protection, I bought some "explosion proof" glass protector for the front and a regular film protector for the rear and just some cheap plastic case from ebay just for when I am carrying it around. At home etc I just like the feeling of it naked so no cases there
Also about the watch, I returned it as the GPS was not working and right now I am undecided between buying it again or waiting for one to have ALL the features without having to fight to get things working.

I did see the videos yes did look pretty good. Apart from using a very small screen lol. I take it you use emulators on your xzu though. I think my best bet is getting a smart watch 2 at some point then. Do you actually use the dk30 dock or you taken the cable out? I can't see myself getting 1 as I always have a flip case on the phone as too worried about the phone. And wouldn't want to keep taking it out of case etc. I would like to find a genuine Sony magnetic charger though. If I do keep my xzu I would like to get some good accessories. But at present my xzu is in repair. So I have been debating about getting a HTC one max. Just not sure. I do want a good power flip case though would like the cp12. And like the look of the sbh52. that screen protector is it a glass protector and if so where did you get it from? What apps do you currently have on phone any useful/interesting ones?

I used the DK30 all the time. I prefer the phone without a case...only phone that I actually have done this with..it just feels to awesome to hold.
That is the reason I added the glass in front and film on the back though.
This is what I got Glass Protector
As for apps, gosh I got too much stuff to name
From lots emulators to music apps like for tuning my violin.
Folder Mount which I used to same big game data to the external card is a must for me.

hahaha I have a youtube channel of tons of covers (singing) and some piano but for violin.....give me 20 or 30 more years plese :laugh:
Since I'm in a pretty rural area in Germany and the next customs office is pretty far away and it's working hours are far from compatible with mine, I'm searching for good screen protectors available directly in .de or from somewhere where I don't need to worry about customs(UK, FR, etc). Amazon or another well known shop is prefered, if I absolutely must, I'd be willing to create an ebay account.
So, what I want is good front and back protection, for which I don't want to remove Sony's shatter protector. A matte finish is prefered and finger-print resistance should be as good as possible. I've read a little about protectors made of some special class here on the forums, but I've got no experience with it.
Viewing angles shouldn't get to worse with the protector(s) applied and I'd be very happy if the scribbeling on screen with a pen would still work after applying.
Of course, cheap is always better, but quality trumps price for me. So, would you please give me some suggestions, preferably with links since some products seem to be the same but sold under various brands.
I'm using Folix Crystal Clear ordered from amazon Germany.
It's front + back and cost around 8€
Sadly I cannot recommend their Matte covers
Edit: and normally it's not getting send as package! Which means they probably will drop it inside your mailbox!

Thanks for your reply. What's the problem you're seeing with their matte ones?
The problem with Matte protectors in general is, that the picture quality gets compromised and I didn't find any good one (tried many).
And with clear protective covers folix is the cheapest. They last long enough (around 2 years) but I didn't have any problems with them. Also they got nice stuff like cleaning cloth and "bubble remove" cards included.
Sorry if my English is misleading or wrong

Thank you, I just ordered a set, we'll see how they hold up.
Any good tip for a case, too? I'm only finding ugly and bulky ones so far and none of them seem to allow charging in the DK30 dock, which is just madness. I'd like to try Sony's CP12, but it's out of stock - or I'm guessing even production - anywhere I looked.

Its probably as slim as you can go on a wallet case (trust me its slim)
you can close the flap on the front and still carry on talking on the phone
it has a stand function as well
I dont know how to describe the material but it looks really expensive
Id give this case a 11 out of 10
I have no idea why there is no hype about them on this forum as everywhere i go all i see is spigen/ringke/orzly/caseology and these guys are still taking pre orders which is a pathetic if they are the market leaders
great video on youtube which im not allowed to post but just type in nexus 6 casebase wallet case
good luck and i hope this helps.
exactly the same as the $30 case
ok i just opened the above link on the google play store
to me it looks like the casebase wallet case i received is identical to the case advertised on the play store called :-
Stand Folio Case for Nexus 6

Does this case have a wake/sleep function with magnet? And does it drain the battery?
Any recommendations? I have only found one made for the N6 but there maybe one fit for the note series our iPhone 6+ that will work.
This is what I found: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00OHFHOZ8/ref=cm_sw_r_udp_awd_.WRCub1FY0X05
It's not an armband but i'm a large fan of the flip belt. It has no problem holding my iPhone plus, and i was able to keep using my current case.

Interesting. Do you run with it? Do you track your runs if you do, and is it accurate? Otherwise, for less than $10 the arm band in the OP looks decent to me.

i ordered this one and it will arrive soon. I will come back and report in when it does. I like the hard case design because my experience with the pouches is pretty mediocre

I have not ran with it yet, too big to keep in the pocket and don't care for the idea of holding out.

Thanks for the info. I just ordered the running armband. I like the design of it better than the generic one I have for my Note II
Another Belt- based option.: http://www.amazon.com/SPIbelt-Small...e=UTF8&qid=1416851897&sr=1-1&keywords=spibelt
I grabbed one of these from a Running store a while back and have used it with my Galaxy S II (T989), Nexus 4, and now my Nexus 6. The nexus 6 is a bit of a tight fit but it works perfectly and does not fall down so long as you tighten the band correctly and have it above your hips, and not on them. I pair this with a cheaper BT stereo headset while running because I can't stand cords at all while working up a sweat.

I do run with it and it does track my runs rather accurately.
Just came across interesting alternative to running arm band: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00PUO6KCI?psc=1. Ordering right away, hope it will go well.

@krups I'm curious about this one too. Please report back on how well it stays attached to your pants/shorts. Thanks!

Just had a 3 miles run with running buddy 6+. It attaches very well with my track pants. Nexus 6 snugs nicely (seems like it will fit well with snap on case) and do not bounce while running. It do feel awkward mainly due to how big phone is. I think will get used to in a while. Its definitely better than arm bands. Attached few pictures.
I was running yesterday with the Google Nexus 6 Easy Fitting Sport Case and Armband Combo from SUPCASE.
I'm really happy with the armband. It holds the Nexus 6 perfectly in place.

Does the rubber case part of the armband easily come off or is it pretty tight on the phone? I was thinking about getting this one.
On the front the case covers all the non-display area. The Phone sits tight in the case. To get the phone out I always pull on an edge on the bottem (2nd photo). So I have no problems to get the phone out of the case. The whole case consits of rubber.

Awesome. Thanks for the detailed reply and photos. Looks like I'll be purchasing one then!
I've always used TuneBelt. I went through AB86 for the Galaxy Nexus, then AB88 for the Nexus 5 (I had to order the AB88 from Germany because it was not available in the UK at the time).
As again, the TuneBelt is not available in the UK yet, I found this one on Amazon and gave it a try as it was so cheap http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B00QV6849G?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 although knowing it was going to be crap.
Well, it's not completely crap, but you get what you pay for, no surprise, and it's too tight. It came with the cardboard insert for the Note 4. It's even tight for the Note 4! (tried with my son's)
So I just went ahead and ordered the AB92 from the Netherlands http://www.ipodhoes.nl/tune-belt-ab92-sport-armband.html
I probably won't be using it as armband at the gym as the phone is so big for my arm it looks ridiculous , but it's still more protection than just the case and with BT earphones I don't need it on me but I like to be able to see the screen for the HR monitor (with a pouch style it would not be possible).
I'll post pics when it arrives.

Following from my post above, I have just received the TuneBelt and here are the pics (lots so I'm linking to my G+ post).

I'm using a Spigen SlimArmour case which is still quite big and it fits very well, it would even take a bigger case.
If you don't use a case, it might be a bit too big, maybe the AB91 would be best.

awesome! im getting my nexus 6 this week and i already have my seidio case for it. this is perfect! 16" max so looks like i gotta get the extender (i hate having to spend more money!). so i take it the headphone ports won't work, but i guess i can use my bluetooth headset instead
http://www.amazon.com/Armband-iPhone-Plus-5-5-display/dp/B00NMWWIJY/ref=pd_cp_cps_2
is this the one? looks like it's a little cheaper than their actual site, and i do have to buy the extension piece as well, so if i can save a few bucks here and there that would be great
I have the same one that xaraxx posted and love it

I just ordered a G pad 10.1 and need a case what is everyone using? I ride the train back and forth to work everyday so I want something reasonably light weight but able to take a small amount of reasonable abuse.

I decided to try the above case. It was cheap and I really wanted to try a rotating case. I will let you guys know what I think after I get it.
So I got the case yesterday overall pretty nice the tablet snaps in and is held by friction I am not sure the tablet would be protected from a fall or not as I think the tablet would pop out and I am not ready to test that theory so I will just try not to drop it for now. The rotation is nice it holds the tablet for me when I am eating lunch makes reading and watching movies a little nicer. I would recommend this case for the price it is pretty good.

So the cases meant for the v700 will fit the LTE VK700 version? I have been looking everywhere for differences but I cant find them. The measurements are the same but could be sensor placement differences. I know the G Pad 8.3 wifi and LTE cases do not fit due to sensors and thickness.
