I spent a bit of time looking for something for the Honor Note 8 (similar size) about a year ago and couldn't find anything big enough, so I ripped out the lenses from the google cardboard and 3D printed a body to hold the lenses and the phone No idea if there's anything now.

What am I supposed to do with that?

Well I have actually a Xiaomi Mi Max wich is around the same dimension and using the "Fiit VR 2S", it's fit perfectly in it, event if part of the screen is hidden. I stop using it because the pixel density was not enough on my phone to be really usable. But otherwise I was pretty happy of the results.
I'm sorry I cannot give you a purchase link as gearb**st as stopped to sell it and I cannot seems to find it with a really short search... Hope you could find one.

[Q] can Note 2 (iSmooth) screen protector be used with Note 3?

I never thought iSmooth is that strong after 4 months of use and now I still have 5 in the inventory, so I am getting curious that can anybody use screen protector for Note 2 with Note 3.
If so, this will be definitely good.
No

are you serious they are not even the same size, the dimensions are different you better off not using a screen protector. the button placement is wrong also
Let's just limit it down to only the front. Since the dimensions of Note 2 and Note 3 (same length, 1mm difference of width between these two according to phonescoop) are pretty close, I have been wondering that.
If a user have both Note 2 and Note 3, please take a picture to verify that instead of just saying yes or no. This can help others who have the same question.
That is like saying if I can put diesel in my car. Of course not.
I would think that you could use it until you got a proper N3 screen protector, but it would not fit right

VR Goggles

Anyone found any goggles on ebay (or elsewhere) that will fit the Nexus 6? Would be fun to try out...
Wonder if these would fit?Samsung VR Goggles
Knox labs said that they will make a Google Cardboard version for the Nexus 6
was hoping someone would make a plastic one with the headband for more long term use...

Whaaaattt??!?!?!
When did that happen? I emailed them and they replied saying they had no intentions of making one for the Nexus 6
http://www.archos.com/us/products/objects/cself/avr/compatibility.html?#menu saw an article that specifically mentioned it would fit the nexus 6. Only 30 bucks

Knox Labs has this new one that works with the Nexus 6 and they specifically mention that they increased the lens diameter. I didn't see any information about that from I Am Cardboard so I left a message asking about it. Their parts kit has 25mm, but they might have changed it for this build.
http://www.knoxlabs.com/products/cardboard-2-0-vr-kit-nexus-6
The design also is tweaked in other ways. It mentions microsuction as well, probably instead of rubber band which isn't in pictures.
(The Google design kit doesn't mention lens size.)

Google Cardboard Virtual Reality Kit
I have purchased google cardboard from getcardboard(dot)in and my Nexus 6 phone fully fit to it. They are also selling Virtual Reality box on amazon for international orders.
Okay, the Knox ones didn't ship, but now they are releasing an updated version called Knox Next that works with more than just the N6 and is officially Google Cardboard certified.
Has anyone actually tried any of these?
My wife bought me a Dodo case Google Cardboard VR headset. It was a complete PITA to put together (not helped by the fact that one of the parts was missing) and, although it just about works, it gives me a headache after about three minutes. It also doesn't have a headband so holding onto it for more than a few minutes gets old very quickly.
Some of the eBay ones are very cheap (< £10) so I might just try one of these and see how well it works.

i've used the cheap $5 cardboard one and it is actually pretty cool...but it's obviously too small for the nexus 6

I just bit the bullet and went ahead and ordered the Knox Next. Has anybody actually received one and tried it yet? I am curious how Knox Labs is at product quality and delivery. I know, it's cardboard, can't expect too much, but man, $27 for it, better be worth it. When I placed my order, there is no information on whether there was stock or any other availability status.
For the Nexus 6, there are only a few other options and based on some reviews from Amazon, they are not very good, for example cheap lens that fall out.
Hey guys!
I'm an owner of the Nexus 6 since 1 month and now I'm interested in virtual reality cause with my old Nexus 4 i think there was no possibility because of the low screen resolution
And now I'M looking for VR Goggles. I can't really find one for such a big screen. Does somebody have an idea where to get one? Mybe a plastic one.
a quick search led me to xingear by imcardboard
pricey but does it work/hold up well?
I saw an article on CNET about the Homido headset. Rick Broida said it was comfortable.

I recently purchase VR Box and so far it's not too bad. It fits the Nexus 6 (barely) but it's not able to run Google cardboard apps. You can purchase an NFC chip, which I did, to run them. Hopefully it'll work.

I purchased the VR Box 2.0 on Amazon and it works well with N6. I purchased it from this particular seller because of the better Wii style Bluetooth remote that it comes with. The smaller key fob style remote didn't work as well.

I bought a pair of cardboard goggles by Minkanak (never heard of them). They're well constructed, but the way they have the setup specifically for a N6, the power button turns it off. It takes a bit of tweaking, but I got it to work. For under 20 bucks you cant go wrong. It's very cool. I tried porn with it and it is bizarre LOL! The effect of flying and roller coasters are very cool too. Be careful with what you buy because that button issue is a pain in the ass.

Initial Reactions to Note 8 (those with the phone)

How is it?? Discuss here! I don't even have the phone but I want to hear what you lucky people are thinking and feeling about it upon receiving it!! ?
It's nice. It's kinda like the Note 7 what with it being tall and slim and all. I still wish it didn't have this edge display and I still wish it had the fingerprint reader on the front (heck put it front and back so it suits everyone). I would not have purchased it if it didn't have iris unlock and voice unlock. It's fast of course. So far so good. It's a nice phone.
I upgraded from the s8+ (I know, I'm an idiot). My first impression is just how similar the two phones are. It really is an s8 with an s-pen, which is enough for me.

It's funny you said it's "of course" fast - that's easily my #1 concern, haha.
Well, I am coming from an S7Edge which was horribly slow.....

At least you can disable the edge feature on the Note 8! I hated it on the note 7 and was pleased to see we can get rid of it now. It was the first thing I noticed in settings.
I just received my Note 8's (4 of them) today Tuesday September 5th. I'm pleased with the feel and overall quality of the phone. After lightly using the phone off and on since I received it today I'm finding that everything runs very smooth. I don't really like the fingerprint sensor placement but it works really well especially compared to my Note 4 that I've been using for 3 years. I also have noticed that the sound can be adjusted to have a very nice quality to it. I am noticing that the battery life seems to be very good but I am just getting familiar with the phone so I have much more to discover.

You could disable it on the Note 7. One of the first things I did with my first and second devices before the final recall. I don't remember where the setting was a year later, but it definitely was there.

I'm tempted to do the same, would you say you're happy with the change, or do you think it was a waste of money?

Yes and no, the main camera is the same, it just has a second telephoto camera.
I'm curious if anyone has tried the N8 with the Gear VR. I constantly have overheating problems with both the S7 Edge and the Note 5 when watching movies while flying. With the faster processor I am hoping that the N8 runs a little cooler.

Can disable edge feature on the Note FE.
For those that think the camera in the note8 is the same as the S8, it might be the same Hardware, but the software is very much upgraded. If you search YouTube for video comparison between the note8 and the S8 you will

The S7Edge got boiling hot for me with the Gear VR, but the Note 7 only got warm. Hopefully, the Note 8 would perform even better than the 7.

Glad to hear it's in there.
Can't do it with screen off though, correct? That's a Google phone exclusive I assume?
I like the feel of the Note 8 a lot more than the S8+. The fingerprint sensor is better placed (for me at least, i have long fingers and the spacing helps) and the phone being less rounded makes it easier to hold. Surprised how much bigger the screen looks than the plus and the camera software is a little bit better than on the s8+. Solid comeback for the Note line. I think the Note 9 is where they are going to try and really differentiate the S series and Note again. They could have made the Note 8 screen even bigger if they wanted, but played it safe this time to get us back. Best phone out in my opinion.
My Note came today. I've had about 6 hours to use it. It feels a good bit faster than the Pixel XL and I like the longer screen. It's not as wide as I thought and it fits nicely in one hand. I have large hands so some may find it a bit large to hold with one hand. I've only played with the Camera for a few minutes but I'll do some comparisons to the Pixel XL camera.

Blur around notch

Anybody else notice halo blur around the notch area like black shadow kinda thing?

Yes I have the same effect. But it do not annoys me, in fact I was thinking it's part of the notch

Yer I think it's just the shadow from the notch was just curious as hadn't noticed it on the honor 10 or play, long as its not just mine then not concerned it's a one off fault, cheers for confirming [emoji106]

maybe its a feature to help the notch blend in to the screen ?
Anyway guys slightly off topic but what do you think of the phone so far ? I'm looking at it as a possible upgrade to my honor 9

Well so far I'm very impressed with the 8x grate battery life awesome screen performance is lightning not much to grumble at really, my only con was the the fact they used USB 2.0 rather than type C nobody is using USB now and for a 2108 device makes no sense at all I don't think it would of made the device cost more I personally would of paid a extra £10 for type C, but personal preference and not really a deal breaker, I've owned the honor 10 and play and is on par with them at fraction of the cost camera is pretty well on par with honor play also can get some nice shots, some bad as well,
Deff if on a budget of £230 then this is a must to get if want to spend extra £50 then the play isn't bad to if wanted type C that bad,

Yeah i was looking at the honor 10 but went for the 9 as i didn't want a huge screen and it was £100 cheaper , then i realised a 5.1 inch screen and fat thumbs don't go well together lol . Now if only i can come up with a good reason to buy another phone without disturbing the peace in the house :laugh:

Lol I know the feeling, 8x has very minimal bezel and tiny chin also the advantage of no honor logo on front, slightly wider then the honor play so good for movies and vids if wanted slightly narrower then the play would fit the bill but I've big hands so 8x is perfect for me [emoji16]

Doubtful seems to be shadow effect from the black notch you could reduce brightness or tinker with the screen modes see if reduces the shadow from notch maybe but don't think a software fix can help more of a manufacturing flaw or screen quality issue , the 8X max has bad light bleed take a look at frankietech video review on 8x max its not good ,

Anamorphic Lens for Mi 9? Ulanzi?

Hi guys,
I'm looking to buy an Anamorphic Lens for the Mi 9 within a decent price range. The Moment Lens for +150$ is too steep.
Any advice?
How about: https://www.ulanzi.com/products/anamorphic-lens-ulanzi

My advice is to buy one with supporting case, like what Apexel has. It might be pricier than Ulanzi one but at least it will fit right into the lens with no manual fiddling required.
The case: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33046103267.html
The lens: https://www.aliexpress.com/item/33045304187.html (pick one with universal clip, otherwise you will get the case as well, but none for Mi 9)

Thanks a lot!
Do I understand you correctly that I should:
1) Buy the case for Mi 9 in your first link
2) Buy the lens + universal clip in the second link
?
Would you know how the lens performs in comparison to an Ulanzi lens?
The case looks bad from the picture, the mounting system is only on the top lens it seems... (The top camera is actually telephoto) believe me, tested it on my device...

How did you resolved that? Bought the Ulanzi? Happy with it?
