I've been looking for a solution that would offer an easier way to hold the TF with one hand and still allow full 360 rotation. I came across these two on Amazon and I was wondering if anyone here has tried them. Here's the quick pros & cons that I can see:

Hand-e-holder: http://amzn.to/jQ5jzc

+ Hold with one hand / 360 rotation

+ Comfortable wide neoprene backing for your hand

+ Size doesn't matter ;) Uses an adhesive disc to mount one side of the holder to the back of your tablet - so it should work with any tablet out there

- I see the adhesive as a con also - not sure I want to stick anything on the back of my TF. Plus, once it's stuck on there it's semi-permanent in that you can't take it off one day and then stick it back on the next (you'll need to buy a new disc for $6)

- Price is kinda high IMO at $40

HeloStrap: http://amzn.to/jKnO39

+ Hold with one hand / 360 rotation

+ Comes in multiple colors (red, green, blue, black)

+ Price: Only $25, so $15 cheaper than the Hand-e-holder above

+ Attaches to your tablet via elastic bands or grips so you can easily attach or remove it. Also will work while your table is in a sleeve.

- "Officially" only supports ipad, ipad2, & Xoom. I did a comparison and while the TF is longer on one side, it's shorter on the other. So I jumped into my wayback machine (and google) to figure out the "hypotenuse" and it looks like the TF is ~20mm longer. From what *I* can see of the HeloStrap in the images it certainly looks like the elasticity could accommodate that extra 20mm.

- The part of the HeloStrap that your hand fits into doesn't look as comfortable as the Hand-e-holder. Actually, that was the only con mentioned for it on the Amazon reviews - that it could be a tad more comfortable. But it also wasn't bad enough for folks to warrant it any less than 4 stars.

Video: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IpZ4-pdq3ag

I put in an order for the HeloStrap (black) because I like that I can pop it on and off easily - with or without my TF in the sleeve. I'll post back here when it shows up and let folks know how it works out.

I'd still like to hear from anyone else that's tried one of these - OR that has found another option that allows for the 360 rotation.

Please post up how you like it when you get it.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] frosty5689:
I smell a broken Transformer...
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pogul:
:D LOL

Ya thing so?? Why? The HeloStrap seems to hold fine on the iPads - and it will be a bit more snug on the TF.

Even on the other one, the adhesive seems pretty tight.

I'm not going to be doing any BMXing with it - I'm just looking for easier one-handed holding while couch surfing and swyping with the other.. :cool:

Unfortunately neither one was Amazon Prime so it may take a several days to get here. Hopefully before the weekend though and I'll be sure to report back!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Tenny:
Never even knew anything like these existed. Of the two I like the HeloStrap more... really tempted to buy one, but I've wasted too much money lately so ill wait for a review.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Tenny:
Exactly. Worst case scenario for me would be it falls onto me lol.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] skeeterpro:

I look forward to impressions
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] ryan stewart:
What? You'd likely shatter your pad doing that no matter what.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] MisterSlanky:
I went a similar but slightly different route with the Padlette (padlette.com) which I bought off of Amazon. It's not as fancy as the other options, but it's pretty heavy duty and I have little to no fear about it breaking or slipping off. You can either hold it in one hand or you can slip you hand in behind.

In either case, an option worth looking at.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nv88:
How comfortable is the padlette on your hand? Does it feel tight after an hour or two holding the Transformer? Is it equally comfortable in portrait and landscape? Also, how is the fit on the tablet?

Also, a question about the Helo, Do the straps at the corners mark/scratch the tablet trim or screen?
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] MISFITZ:
Excellent FIND...and I think I am tending towards ordering one too....

I will do more research as well and keep you'al updated...

Good luck with yours.

Regards,

Misfitz
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] MisterSlanky:
I find it very comfortable. I was participating in an event this weekend that required that I hold the pad for roughly four hours and I did so with no problems. You can either grab it with your fingers (my preferred method) by hooking them around the straps, or you can simply slide your hand in behind.

Because it's at the same angle in either portrait or landscape it's equally easy to hold it in either configuration. I also like that it's removable without leaving any evidence that it was there. The only (minor) problem I've seen is that I have to have it oriented in SW to NE because in the NW to SE direction it covers up the volume rocker.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] nv88:
Thanks. I'm very interested in the padlette... sounds like it may be worth $20.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pogul:
Sorry for the delay in following-up. I wanted to put a short video up, but my Sony Vegas just hasn't been cooperating with me.

I received the HeloStrap last Thursday and finally had a chance to play with it last night.

Overall, I think it's great. I definitely agree with the 4/5 stars rating on Amazon. The only con being that the hand part of the strap could have been more comfortable. It's not horrible by any means. You just notice it when you first start using it, but then quickly forget about it.

It still looks like the Hand-e-holder would win in the comfort category, BUT - I prefer the HeloStrap because of the lower price and the fact that I can slip it on or off easily vs having to semi-permanently stick the Hand-e-holder on. If I didn't have the Asus sleeve for my TF that probably wouldn't be as much of a factor.

BTW, the HeloStrap gives a nice snug fit on the Transformer with or without the sleeve. It's snug, but not so tight that it would be a concern (this is what I wanted to show in the video). It definitely feels very secure - I don't see the TF "falling out" of it or anything.

It certainly made the couch surfing MUCH more enjoyable last night which was my primary goal!

If I didn't have the sleeve I would be much more tempted to try out the Hand-e-holder, but the HeloStrap is the one that gives me the option of using it easily with the sleeve or without. Now i just need to see if my wife can come up with some idea for making the hand part a lil cushier! :D

I'll take another crack and getting a video together and will post that as soon as I can.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pogul:
I finally got around to shooting a quick video of the HeloStrap on my TF. Hopefully this will give you an idea of how it fits - with and without the sleeve.

http://sleeve360.com/

This looks great; wonder if it would fit the Transformer.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pogul:
Not sure, but given that it's a full sleeve/case made to fit the ipad, I don't think it would work for the TF. The dimensions are too different.

The HeloStrap just needs to stretch diagonally from one corner to another - whereas that sleeve360 would have to fit all 4 corners.

Let us know if you give it a shot though!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] EP2008:
That extra tension on the corners of my Transformer would amplify the screen bleed issue I'm having by 200%. Looks cool though.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] signops:
Know what - I think you can stick this to the outer part of your folio and use it. So that the TF remains pristine.

Even better - with the Techtree stand, you can create your own 360 degree rotating hand holder.
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Schroder08:
Just stumbled across this thread, now I'm debating between the Padlette and the HeloStrap. Not sure which way to go on that, though I do like the fact the Padlette has the cutout where the ASUS is in back. Grr, tough decisions!
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] pogul:
I'm using my HeloStrap right now and still living it! :-)
[Eee Pad Transformer Accessories] Schroder08:
Figured I'd put in my 2 cents with a follow up post here. I ended up getting the Padlette and am quite happy with it. It took a little while to get used to how it felt and how to hold it, but now I'm fine. It doesn't lay flush across the back which is fine since I need to stick my hand in it anyway. I'll toss up some pictures later (currently at work :rolleyes:) to show what I mean, but I still feel comfortable about how it's holding the tablet. I actually had it in my hand for half the time I spent at San Diego Comic Con, and the reason I didn't have it out the rest was because my wife was giving me the look which meant to stop playing with my toys and spend time with her. Ok, back to work. ;)

So, were you able to get some pics, as promised, please? ;-)

New Device To Hold iPad in One Hand

I saw at CES the coolest new device. The new Bakbone from holdyourtablet.com is perfect for holding iPads, tablets and Kindles in one hand.

The Bakbone is sleek, rotates 360 degrees, easily pops off when you don't need it, and very secure. Was a big hit at the CES show and one of the best things I saw in the new product exhibits.

Airplay SDK is unique in providing the

facility to build your application as an

entirely OS-agnostic binary file that contains

native CPU instructions. So no compromise

on performance, yet no need to port your

application between operating systems.

Airplay SDK supports single-click

deployment to all of the following operating

systems: * iPhone OS * Android * Samsung

Bada * Symbian * Windows Mobile * BREW

* Palm/HP webOS * Maemo Additionally,

Ideaworks Labs is working closely with

leading device manufacturers to open up

new distribution opportunities for Airplay

content. Airplay SDK fixes fragmentation

within each operating system by removing

the need for developers to worry about

individual device eccentricities. Here are just

five examples of the hundreds of per-device

problems that Airplay SDK solves: *

Dynamic portrait/landscape screen

switching handled identically for all devices

* Accelerometer API implemented

identically for all devices (despite the large

number of bespoke device drivers and APIs

in the market) * Device-application

interoperability handled identically for all

devices (i.e. your application is guaranteed

to 'play nicely' with the device software, for

example to respond to incoming phone calls

and messages) * Audio handled identically

for all devices (for example, by providing

advanced software sound mixing) * Single

drawing API supports OpenGL ES 1.x,

OpenGL ES 2.0 and super-fast software

rendering, allowing your app to run with or

without any form of hardware graphics

acceleration FEATURES: Save development

time by writing your Airplay app using

vanilla C++ in the IDE of your choice. Airplay

currently supports all versions of Visual C++

Great ROM. Thanks for the hard work. The only issue I have found is with Stereo Bluetooth headphones. The sound is not balanced. Kinda like it's not in stereo and the right side has 80% of the sound and the left has the other 20%.

Kinda weird but I only experience that with this build. When I revert to my midNIGHT ROM beta I have been working on I don't have the issue. This ROM is by far the best one I have used on the Nexus and sets the bar VERY high. Nice work

Once I get some money (unfortunately I'm a poor grad student), I will definitely send some your way.

I've only been playing around with the ROM for a few hours but I'll continue to explore and let everyone know if I run into any issues.

haven't used fastboot before so can someone please explain to me how to use it with the cwm 4.02 so I can flash this ROM? thanks
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] maxysuperpad:
After you download cmw 4.02, rename the .img file to something easy like: recovery.img.

Find where you have your android-sdk\tool folder and place the recovery.img in there. Plug your phone in and boot up your phone such that you are on the screen where you have the reboot bootloader/reboot/recovery/power off options listed.

On your computer, open a command promt and change the directory to the exact path where your adroid-sdk\tool folder is. Then type: fastboot flash recovery recovery.img

You should see some "OKAY"s and a "FINISHED" if everything went smoothly. If you don't, then the .img file may be corrupted so just re-download it and try again.

After that, on the phone, hit POWER OFF. Then reboot the phone in recovery and you should see that it is now version 4.02 (and in whatever color your chose).
[Nexus S 4G Android Development] maxysuperpad:
Update: So far this ROM is near perfect. However, I've been having an issue with Google Maps (that may or may not be related to the ROM). I was wondering if anyone else has noticed that when you install Google Maps from the market, and then check Battery Usage, you notice that the phone is always Awake?

This is the only additional application I've put on the phone thus far and now my Awake bar is a solid blue bar even when the screen is off. Also, my Android System usage has shot up to the first spot (around ~%40). I've tried force stopping the application but it restarts almost immediately.

I'll investigate this further but has anyone else run into this issue?
