I used this guy for my Galaxy Nexus in an Otterbox --- perfect fit. N4 fits like a glove as well (obviously). Don't really understand how the plastic cover will destroy the phone, though.

[Nexus 4 Accessories] killerbicycle:
I would avoid taking this phone in general into any gym or any serious physical activity, even with a case. Personal opinion.

I know this doesn't address the issue of a Case for the N4, especially one specific to gym type, but have you considered the motoactv? I have been using mine on a daily basis for the past six months for running and lifting. Plus I never enjoyed using any armband of any sort. I really like the clip and the watchband, although I do worry about smacking the glass face into a weight or falling during a trail run and breaking the glass. So far so good.

Besides the motoactv, I do see some gym goers making use of the uh... waist band pack thing, I just see it getting in the way often.

I know its a relatively cheap phone, but i'd prefer not to expose my phone, which I do use from time to time as a phone and put up to my face, to a gym type environment, it just seems to beg for some sort of bad news, be it damage or otherwise.
[Nexus 4 Accessories] ragnarokx:
I use Bluetooth headphones, that way I can listen to music at the gym while my phone is safely off to the side resting on my bag. I used to use an armband, but this is much easier and safer.

Here are some : repack4pda V7, Rayonium, forsaken (and maybe more that i forgot?)

Your choice depends on what you personally prefer ...."boring stock, but no bugs, or more themed and tweaked, but higher chance of bugs.

Repack4PDA is as stock as possible, which means it has no bugs and is extremely smooth without any tweaks as it doesn't need any.

As Repack4PDA is like stock GB, for some people that is "boring", so if you prefer more theming you should use forsaken or rayonium :)

The more themed and tweaked roms need more maintenance, and have longer threads due to that , which result in regular updates for minor bugfixing en more tweaking.

I tweaked a lot on GB and ICS ROMS, but in the end it didn't help me much, which is "frustrating" sometimes. It's like tuning a car....you can put an open-air intake filter, another exhaust, a spoiler....but with the same engine inside you wont gain much in the end :) Theming is like painting the car in another color you like.

P.S. for ICS (also close to stock, no bugs) I would suggest Superleggera ICS, as it's smooth too and the only "odexed" ICS ROM.

just one

The best part of having a 1080p screen, is that its literally, 1 in 2,073,600. To notice it I have to set the screen to a certain color and go out of my way to look at. I highly doubt I will ever notice it in normal usage. I know this might sound like a stupid thread, but its a new phone and people are curious about crap like this, and this just helps make the argument for 1080p being an advantage.
[HTC Droid DNA] Amphibliam:
Same. White one in the bottom left, in the last row. I'll try pixel fixing. Knowing my luck, I'll try a return (I've had to return my last 4 devices (not including this) and get some crappy refurb with data drops. I'll try some pixel fixing apps when I have a couple free hours. It's not a huge deal, just annoying because I know it's there.
[HTC Droid DNA] MohJee:
As they say, ignorance is a bless. Don't dig too deep to find things that will just annoy without really affecting you.
[HTC Droid DNA] xartic12:
That is good to hear that it is barely noticeable. Is the statement saying "argument for 1080p being an advantage." really necessary? If you look at it that way, then also keep in mind that having more than double the pixels also doubles your chance of having a dead pixel (don't hold that to me).

Is it possible to snap picture of it?
[HTC Droid DNA] Amphibliam:
When my GSIII is back in a couple weeks I'll take a pic.
[HTC Droid DNA] Venekor:
With the pixel density surely it'll be a small cluster.
[HTC Droid DNA] nixta_72:
I have a stuck red one at the top right of my screen...it is pretty noticable if you know its there and it is a "single" pixel (perks of having an optical comparator at work). It comes and goes though like it has a mind of its own...any suggestions on how to remove it permanently?
[Asus Transformer TF700] markbraggs:
I was using my TF700 earlier, no problems. On Cleanrom 2.5.5, flicking through with buttery smoothness.

Just now, I picked up my tablet, clicked the power button, and then scrolled through 2 home screens until...boom. Total blackness.

The screen won't turn on. At first I thought it was the battery, but it's at about 40%. It will reboot when I press and hold the power button, but still no display.

I plugged it into my TV over HDMI and voila...there's the display. Is the backlight dead? I see absolutely nothing on the tablets screen -- it simply won't turn on. But it displays just fine on my TV. And this is the weird part: I can touch the screen and it still registers touches and I can guess where to touch to try to use it through my TV.

What happened?! :crying:

[Nexus 7 Accessories] bladebarrier:
Windshield mounts are illegal here, which is fine considering it's not an SUV/truck, and vision is limited.

On my phones I use a small mount that clips into the central heater vent. It's not pretty, but it works very well.

Has anyone found a solid version of something like that, for the Nexus 7?

As nice as some of the custom installs here look, I'm not interested in replacing my stereo or any panels.

I'm just at a loss for if there is something like what I use for my cell phone, but on a larger scale. It would have to clip into the heater exhaust, and be solid enough to safely hold a tablet, but also crush down when not in use. Or if there's a good alternative, I'd be glad to try it.

If the mount can support a small case as well, and crush down into place, that would be a bonus.

Many thanks!

Mountek!

Goes right in the CD Slot you can still use the CD player without any issues. I just leave that one cd in there and normally use bluetooth for all videos and music.

They don't make it official for tablets yet very slow company. But the current one they offer can easily be used for Nexus 7 with just opening and removing 2 parts (very easy) and secure.

This does not block your heating vents or the windshield :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] taffypride:
Looks interesting....can you elaborate on how to mod it to fix the Nexus?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] adamhlj:
I don't think that the nexus 7 could be attached to something that would clip into the vent. I think it would be too heavy. I have one of those kinds of mounts for my phone, but it seems to have worn out after a while.

Couldn't you put some sort of a plastic disk onto your dashboard and mount it there? Or would that still be considered obstructing your view and not allowed?

Pro-clip makes mounts specific to your car with very little "install"

http://www.proclipusa.com/brodit-device-holder/asus/nexus-7-google.aspx
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bladebarrier:
My dashboard is much too rounded to allow for that.

However, I just watched a video in the XDA forums that gave me an idea. I could probably mount one of those disk style setups underneath my dashboard, and rotate it upwards. I'm just not sure how well it would hold the weight.

My car is identical to the one here: http://www.carparts.com/roadtests/hondaciviccoupe/photos.htm

The center area protrudes out a fair bit, and while it's hard to see, it's not flat right above the radio. But it is flat underneath the center console.

Maybe I'll give the exomount a try, and see if it holds in place ok.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Uronlyfriend:
I saw a while back a clever use of a metal coat hanger and shrink wrap tubing to make a mount for an ipad. Simply bending it to hook onto your heat vents and then shrinking the tubing so it doesnt scratch the crap out of your nexus is the only real setup to it.

I cant put the link cause I'm new to the forum, but its on instructables and just search tablet car dock coat hanger. Its one of the first few results. The title is "How to custom tablet car dock for under 15 bucks".

I guess sheet metal was involved too, making it more complicated than i thought. But, that was for a 10-incher, perhaps with a lighter tablet that isnt necessary? Just a thought, figured I'd put my two cents in.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Awexit76:
Hey blade. Do you have that little opening right underneath the radio? The one with the little door in front? I've seen cool installs using that opening and a dash/window mount attached inside. either suction cup to the inside, or using the dash mount disc thing
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bladebarrier:
I sure do! That's where the line in to the car stereo is running.

That's some good thinking right there.

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
If you have a few air vents, you can try the breffo spiderpodium. The normal size works. There is a tablet version, but those are meant for larger tablets. The normal size works fine. I had an imitation spiderpodium, but the concept was the same. You wrap around to hold the device and then use a few of the "legs" to stick into the air vents.

Here is a pic . But I can attest to that the arms will hold and because the arms are pretty long, they can slip into the air vents and are pretty stable. YMMV. :cowboy:

Here is one with a HTC Thunderbolt and spiderpodium

The Windshield mount is not the way to go, and nither is the vent mount.

This is what you are looking for. http://www.amazon.com/Kropsson-Univ...&qid=1343154299&sr=1-1&keywords=Kropsson++800

Its currently sold out at Amazon, but a quick Google search of the products name, will find you one.

I have this products big brother, sold through ExoGear, to hold my old Xoom tablet. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006JJZCAO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00

Its actually quite a fantastic mount and is very customisable in terms of articulation, height adjustment, and vibration.

Im eventually going to do a full in-dash modification of my BMW E46 with my Nexus7, but until then, this is what Im rocking.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] kpjimmy:
LOL my 4 yr old loves it. She counts with it haha....

The app I use is Ulysse Speedometer app, the free version.

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.binarytoys.speedometer

I may get the paid version because it's a good app and doesn't need an ODBII Bluetooth, which I have lol. And saying that, for all you that have Torque (pro or free) there is a HUD function there as well. You have to play around with the different themes and dials to get the set up you want. However, the torque app requires the OBDII BT dongle depending on what you want to monitor. Not too sure if you can run it without it. I have the OBDII in my Tribute but on my 6, I do not so this app works well and the color can be changed to closely match your dash lights if you prefer, which I do lol.

Oh and to report back. I was using this HUD from the N7 in the 6 last night (Mazda 6 sedan), which I have modified a bit so this fits perfectly lol. But nonetheless the dash didn't accommodate the tablet too well and in this instance the tablet did move a tad. Not too much when going around the corners, but will move if you corner at 50mph lol. So in that case, I suggest a cheapie sticky pad to grip the tablet in this case. YMMV, in your case, it may work fine depending on your dash. Have fun!

I was looking at that a few weeks ago but opted for the Kroppson Aero that fit both my sensation and N7, but just barely. I wouldn't recommend the Aero FYI, the mount you have works better IMO. Now that I am getting a N4 added to the family, which is a bit longer, this may fit both devices as well.

I ended up ordering the ExoGear through Ebay (there are some sellers in the US, and they give free shipping, at the same price Amazon used to sell it for). Should be here today or Monday. Will post a pic of it once I decide how I'll set it up in the Civic.

What's the car app you're running there, or is that a modified UI of widgets? It's a nice setup.

Wow, this looks amazing! :good: :fingers-crossed:

I actually wanted to use Carhome Ultra on my Nexus 7, but to be honest, it's quite ugly.

Your design just looks 1000% better, I am really really impressed! However, I'm quite new to new the Android world, so I guess it will take a while for me to port it to my Nexus. I've already bought ADW-EX and downloaded UCW and Desktop VisualizeR, but what exactly do I need to do to set this design as my homescreen layout? I've managed to set the UCW widget to my home screen without a problem, and the functionality of DV also seems clear to me. But how do I get the actual layout to show up? I tried it by using the wallpaper setting, without luck :( It just doesn't scale right. I'm sure there is some kind of plugin or setting I am not aware of? :confused:

Thanks for your help! :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ritalin:
Wallpaper can be a ***** to get scaled correctly depending on the launcher.

The fix is to not use the default wallpaper crop tool.

This setup in fact will not work with it, because there are multiple wallpapers with different items.

Download Multipicture Livewallpaper from the market.

Btw, this is made for a 1280x768 display or 1280x800 minus the navigation bar, so it will work with your Nexus 7 or any other device of that resolution.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bladebarrier:
So, I tried the Exogear mount out.

It fits the nexus 7 perfectly if there is no case on (or if the case has no real sides to it). It sort of fits with a proper case on, but you may ruin the case or the mount, over time, because it just doesn't spread far enough.

It's kind of junk, considering the price, but it works.

Next time I'll probably just go with a custom bracket, or design one myself. I would only recommend the exogear mount for people that don't mind that you will probably not be able to use it with many cases, and will probably not be able to use it with a lot of other devices because the range that it can grab is pretty limited.

I dunno, I guess I'd give it a 3/5 rating overall. If the reach range was better I would probably give it a 4/5.

/EDIT: I removed the rubber bumpers on it, and now it fits very well with the case. It might be a little rough on it, over time, but it fits quite nicely. Because mine has the grippers on the shorter sides of the Nexus, instead of top/bottom, you do have to line up the USB port a smidge, to charge. It's really not a big deal though, as it's right in the middle. A top/bottom gripper would have been more convenient for that, but at the same time would have drawbacks for cases that flip open (as mine does). So, in the end, I'd bump it to a 4/5. Obviously only custom ones would be worthy of a 5/5, or if this only cost say $25 instead of $50.
