Not sure if you mean Type-A (type B is the house shaped one that plugs in the back of older scanners). Type-A is the most common USB plug that have been on computers and most wall chargers forever. Mini Type-B and Micro-Type B are the types of plugs that were on phones before type-C, if that's what you meant.
Anyway I picked up a 4-port charger with 3 Type-A and 1 Type-C (with 60W PD) so it can charge my phone, camera, and whatever else plus charge my Laptop. I keep that in my bag all the time (just need to throw in an appropriate outlet adapter if I'm going international)
You don’t have to use the 5W charger ya know.

Also, swipe down on any page of the home screen to access a search widget that is full system search + web search. And Hey Siri is a thing. Also I can only assume you knew going into it that you were getting an LCD screen so I feel like you shouldn’t complain about it.
Naw. The purchased one is cheaper and it's made of TPU so it's soft and flexible.
I printed on in PLA and was always worried that it would scratch something.
Plus I have to say that there are better stands - the watch sometimes doesn't connect with the magnet.
This Spigen stand gives a much more reliable connection to the charger and it's only $8.
Here's my OnePlus One 64gb version in its case, tempered glass screen protector, and Qi receiver.
Everything works fine. The glass catching fingerprints still, though not as easily as the screen did. Edges weren't done great so I imagine they'll collect dust.
The case fits well and even allows for my Pressy unit (which is compatible) to be inserted without any flushness issues. Honestly fits it like a glove.
I'm using a microUSB "B" style Qi receiver to charge. On my TYLT unit, I can have the phone vertical or horizontal and it'll charge still.
I included a photo of all the packaging so you know what brands I bought. If you want to know the specific vendor I bought (and not shop on your own.. I was in a hurry so I paid a premium on all of them, at least 25% over what I could have gotten them if I had the time to wait).
Wireless Receiver
Nillkin Case - Black
Tempered Glass Screen Protector
TYLT Wireless Charger
EDIT: Charging Update!
At 25% charge, I put the phone on my TYLT dock from 12AM-5:30AM; phone was fully charged by the time I woke up! So yes, the charging is at least fast enough to fully charge my phone.
EDIT 2: 2nd Day Charging
At 14% charge, I put the phone to charge at around 11:30PM. At 5:30AM the next day, the phone seemed to have overheated at 76% and had stopped charging. Battery temp showed the phone was overheating at a ghastly 49 Degrees C! I will try one more night to see if it was just a fluke. Anyone want to buy me a new battery? Ha.
EDIT 3: 3rd Day Charging
At 53% charge, went up to 100% overnight. I made sure the receiver was right in the center of the TYLT dock to avoid poor connection.
In the afternoon I hit 17% because the phone was being ridiculous. Put it in the dock vertically without giving it much attention. Went up to 38% in 90 minutes, but the phone was pretty hot. Will charge the rest. If no new edits appear, it means I've stopped having issues with charging.
EDIT 4: ?? 7/15/14 Update
For those of you who want to use the TYLT to charge, be careful. My phone repeatedly overheats using this, going as high as 43C. Some research today shows it may be due to the metal in the phone activating ALL the coils, causing the phone to roast. I will try this official post by TYLT tonight to see if that helps. I have also installed this app from Google Play to monitor my battery and make sure the temperatures don't go too high during my testing, as I don't want to completely destroy my phone's battery in the first month. More reading on the heating issues here
EDIT 5: 7/16/14 Update
I added a block that's 1/2" tall to the bottom of my TYLT unit and then set my phone on top. Additionally, I removed 'High Accuracy' mode on the GPS to Battery Saving and disabled data (because those also generate heat inside the phone). Doing this, my phone never exceeded 38C. Charging overnight, when I awoke my phone was sitting at 100% charge idling at 36.5C, perfectly acceptable!
Tonight I will try to charge using the bottom wedge but leaving Data and High Accuracy on. I have installed Battery Temperature Guard to play an alarm if temperatures exceed 40C (still acceptable as you can reach this while gaming, but I don't want to have my phone sitting at that temp for 4-5+ hours!)
Possible items to use as 'blocks':
EDIT 6: 7/23/14 Update
So it seems sometimes I can charge without any issues, other times the phone will charge very slowly. I've experimented with height positioning with the block mount to lift the phone, it seems anything from 2cm-3/4" will prevent the phone from heating. While charging I do not exceed 36C.
I've also pulled the receiver out just a little so that I can pull the microUSB out of the port in case I need to charge via cable or connect to the computer. Time will tell if that will damage the cable, but for now it looks like it's fine.
11/17/14 Update:
If you're visiting here still, please note I have STOPPED using a Qi charger in lieu of an actual dock with microUSB connector. The charger worked, yes, but my phone was constantly warm, resulting in shorter battery life on a regular basis. Since removing it, my phone has been cool to the touch, and keeps its charge longer throughout the day.
I bought one of these and have been fairly impressed with it. The first one I got would just power itself down every 15 min or so, so I exchanged it. The second one has been good (one stuck pixel but I don't mind).
The all-metal case is good without much flex. The IO is pretty solid, with two USB-C ports, one USB A 2.0 port, MicroSD, and of course its own small barrel port for the power brick, but you can also optionally charge it over USB-C including with one of those breakout USB-C hubs with Power Delivery and that simultaneously gives you HDMI out, Ethernet, and such (I do this currently using this USB-C PD charger and this hub. There are cheaper USB-C hubs but I wanted one with HDMI and Ethernet output as well as Power Delivery input so I could plug everything in with the one cable).
The keyboard is decent and the layout is right to me, although it's not backlit. The touchpad is basically garbage but I don't mind since I use an external trackball. The screen is IPS and glossy glass with sharp text, but coming from a MacBook or my PowerSpec 1510 laptop, it's rather dim with low contrast. The speed of the machine is fantastic for the price, and the SSD can be easily changed out but I don't know about the RAM. There's no compartment to open just for that and I don't know how to get to it otherwise. (I may never actually need to, but I did look into it when I got it.)
The touchscreen works, but I disabled it because I wanted it to still work with the lid closed and plugged in over HDMI, and when I would close the lid it started clicking spots all over the screen. After disabling the touch screen input driver in Device Manager, no more issues with that. I don't really know what the battery life is like because I mostly will plan on keeping this plugged in. No bloatware at all. You get prompted to buy/install ESET antivirus when you boot, and if you choose no, it will uninstall even that, leaving you with a 100% clean OS with just drivers and a Winbook wallpaper.
You can probably run some form of Linux on this fine, although I've got no idea whether things like the touchscreen, sleep or the battery meter work. The wireless chipset is Intel and the sound is Realtek so I imagine those are fine but don't know for sure.
Trendy:
"upcycled a Huawei watch box as an Apple watch charger".
Fancy:
"repurposed a Huawei watch box as an Apple watch charger"
Plain old English:
"used a Huawei watch box as an Apple watch charger"
Regardless, I think it looks pretty cool, although I'm too lazy to deal with that everyday. I just slap my watch on a $10 Apple Watch charging stand for 30 min a day and call it done.
It's on Amazon for $499 but its currently unavailable.
I should probably know based of what you are saying, but I don't really. So when I have the following Powerbank and I bought a USB-C Cable i shouldn't charge my Switch with it? Or would it be fine?

Edit: Now that I'm taking a closer look at the Cable I was going to order I don't even know if that fits to my powerbank.

Can anybody help a brother out? :'D
This Spigen Apple Watch stand is great. Simple, minimal, and cheap. Gets the job done. People have complained about the tape on the bottom of it, but I just left the plastic on and don't have a problem with it sliding around on my wooden table.
and at 30$, usually it's more effective to just buy one off amazon. I get that this is DIY, but I bought a 7200mah solar charing battery for 35$

This!! This is the same case for my 15” MacBook Pro which come with 87 watts. If you use the 13” adapter at 65 it works, but slowly drains the battery under load as u/mixmastakooz states. Then Mac OS kicks in to keep it powered on; you get huge performance hits which are understandable.
As an aside, I always travel with just one adapter for everything and this works for my laptop on planes.
As an aside, u/mixmastakooz does civ 6 have good touch support? I’ve been looking at an XPS 15 or 13 with the 4K touchscreen option.

How cheap do you want to go?
The Obsidian is on sale at walmart for $40. It's a very impressive device for $40 or $60 though my key complaint about it is that my particular device's screen is fairly dim when it comes to its auto-brightness feature. At least it does auto-adjust its brightness, unlike the LG Leon. Its speaker also punches way above its weight.
Carrier aggregation is a flagship-level feature for the most part. I don't think it's enabled on the snapdragon 210 devices though I know the modem supports 2x10 carrier aggregation- not that it'd be all that useful for most markets. IMO carrier aggregation isn't a very useful feature for most people/locations on tmo... I wouldn't call this a must-have at all, especially if you want to go cheap.
---
My recommendations:
Diminishing returns due to having less than 1.5 GB of RAM
with VoLTE(Edit: no VoLTE and band 12 has to be manually enabled if so desired) and WiFi calling: $40 ZTE Obsidian. It might not be available much longer since ZTE is launching a very similar phone soon that occupies basically the same part of the market with similar specs.Honorable mention: the $150 Blu Life One X and similar 5.5" Blu Vivo XL (releasing in the next month-ish) perform better than all mentioned except the Nexus. The only real caveat is that these don't have VoLTE, otherwise I'd have purchased >4 already.
Notes:
monthweek, Walmart retail options (same phone, discounted price) generally follow in a few weeks. Some features will be better but you'll still only have 1 GB of RAM :(I did the same thing! Grab one of these guys and you're set:

It's like having the WiiU tablet right in front of you. The sticks have a slight deadzone that I'm not thrilled with, but it works great for stuff like Skyrim, Portal, or Darksiders.
Yup. I use this one and it’s great. Sticks on the nightstand well and allows for night mode. Plus it’s under $8.

Anker FTW

Remember folks, the battery is literally the stomach of your moeblob. Battery stress will be directly voiced as stomach problems, so avoid stressing your moeblob with deep charge cycles and rapid charging; carelessly crashing below 30% is just really rude anyway. Make sure she's relaxed and cool before and during charging. If she's a brainy one, ensure she's not overthinking anything as that alone will heat her up.
Use a high-quality charger and/or cable with a good powerline filter/power surge protector. I like to use ones from Anker. If you have to feed her on the go, I recommend this right here. This will provide her with tons of clean, tasty power.
When it comes time to replace her battery, ensure you can get a replacement from her manufacturer, or an OE equivalent from a reputable company such as LG, Panasonic, Sanyo, or Duracell. You might also want to look into Li-Fe batteries as the lithium-iron phosphate chemical is a lot more stable and has 4x the number of charge cycles. Unfortunately, the Li-Fe batteries aren't as compact and don't have the same voltage as Li-On batteries, so I can only run these in my two larger moeblobs that can compensate for the voltage. They tell me all sorts of good things though, especially that they aren't exhausted and as ravenously hungry, even when being feisty at 20%.
I hope I helped someone. All of these tips will prevent your precious moeblob from being BURNED ALIVE IN A MOLTEN BALL OF LITHIUM ION FIRE

Does this fit the XL?
EDIT: Here's the link to the XL version

I'm a huge, huge fan of the ipega PG-9023. I even went as far as to do an in depth review on it after I bought it and used it for a few days. I liked it that much; it's a great controller. This one holds the phone in the center though, not above it. On the plus side, I found it has no issues holding a phone while the phone is protected in a case, and it can extend far enough to even fit a 10" tablet if that's your thing.
If you want one with the phone on top, the Moga Pro and supposedly the Madcatz C.T.L.R. are good choices, but I don't have hands on experience with those. I have the ipega PG-9025, but I don't like it. It's very small with poor grip, and with the phone on top it's unbalanced and cramps my hands after a short period of time.
I use one of these - it's nothing amazing but it looks nice and works really well for night mode: https://www.amazon.co.uk/Apple-Spigen%C2%AE-Charging-Premium-cradle/dp/B0109I9W24
Don't be lazy, link it! Here, I'll do it for you.
In fact, I'll just link to one of the best tempered glass protectors (as agreed on in that thread and from personal use).
Also, I know you said w/o a case, but here's a really awesome slim case that adds barely nothing to the footprint and feels great in hand.

All I wish was for it to be a little less slippery. I have mine in a case so it's fine, but I pull it out once in a while to clean out the dust (and to marvel at it's beauty). Every time I do I'm sure it's going to launch itself across the room and end up embedded in the wall.
A regular USB-C power bank at 15W won't keep up with a lot of use cases of the laptop. It'll charge the laptop while asleep. Otherwise it'll hold the line or slow down battery drain more often than charge while you use.
No power bank currently on the market will match the power needs a 15-inch laptop with a 90W power adapter has. The upcoming HyperJuice will, as it outputs up to 100W. But it is not released, expensive, and untested by third parties so I wouldn't rush into that.
Your best option right now is a 45W output power bank. They work well with 13-inch laptops, charging while in use. They are still 15W shy of ideal for a 15-inch laptop, but better than any other option. They'll charge while in use under more conditions, but not all conditions. They'll charge fast enough when the laptop is asleep.
I would recommend looking at two specific power banks:
dodocool 20100 45W Type-C PD
ZMI QB820
For efficiency try one of two charge approaches and see which works better for you.
I'm glad you asked, I'm still trying to figure out my battery pack and wall charger for the AZT/PCT this year so I'll be watching for responses. Right now I'm leaning toward the Anker Powerport Speed II and Anker Powercore II 10K If anyone is aware of a 10k battery pack with power delivery let me know! So far the only PD packs I've found are massive 20k+

It is magnetic so if you are trying to quickly grab your phone and slap it back into place that can be done as if it is not even mounted. It works very well imo
I always buy Anker stuff as the quality is great. I have two of these (I'm in the UK)

Anker makes the best cables I currently use this with my Pixel XL in my 2016 civic. Also the 1.5 is just the charge it puts out, it doesn't affect anything else. If you buy this cable and it doesn't work, it's most likely a setting on your phone that's messing with something.
Just wondering, is this cable going to be okay? I can't find the omh resistance on the specs.
https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B01GN0M6NE/
edit: nevermind, found this FAQ in the website, it should be okay then.
> Are your cables equipped with 56K Ohm resistors?
> Only USB-C to USB-A cables and USB-C to Micro USB adapters are equipped with 56K Ohm resistors.
Battery solution is a top priority, the cheapest solution i ve found is using a battery marketed to tablets and cell phones; the one i got was around $40 and can power the bmpcc for 10hrs. Edit: This, and recently also picked up this
Tylt Vu 3 has worked great for me. Looks nice, can use the phone while charging, the fact that the charging point for the nexus 6 is off center doesn't matter, and full charge takes about 4 hours.
looks like the Poweradd Apollo. Pretty inexpensive for the 7200mAh model

i have this . Slightly expensive in my opinion but good quality.
Works well for me in my Hyundai. you have to stick the magnetic plate, either directly on the phone or inside of your case. The magnet is strong and phone sticks even on bumpy roads.
One of the major advantage of this is it gives me access to the power and volume buttons.
Magnetic cell phone mount, I believe.
Yeah, that is really lame of them - thanks for the heads up.
I decided to give this one a try as I'm not about to give up my fast charging.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016GNYZIC/
This is the mount if anyone is interested. I tried a few different suction cups/air vent mounts and none really worked as I wanted.
The magnets are strong, and the phone doesn't move/jitter around whilst driving.
The Spigen Thin Fit is pretty sweet
Spigen Thin Fit, its really thin!

If it doesn't work with the Spigen rugged armor case, then 99% it will not work with the Diztronic TPU cases as well .. both of which i own.
Dang it! :(
Most covers that aren't "ultra thin" or "snap on" will do the job just fine. I'm using the Spigen Rugged (not Hybrid) case from Amazon and it suits your requirements. It's probably also one of the best covers I've had for a phone.
Maybe, but I would recommend the Anker anyway. I trust them not to burst into flames when placed under a continuous load. Anker does have a different model with the plug rotated 90 degrees that might fit your outlet better, but it is also more than twice the cost.
Also, a cheap, noisy power supply coupled with cheap speakers without filtering might end up yielding you a lot more noise.

Yeah I should have been more clear. All the functionality besides the battery bank already exist in a single device like this 60w can charger most of the USBC laptops out there.

Just go with the Spigen Rugged Armor. It says it is for the Oneplus 3 but it will also fit the Oneplus 3T. It looks like a hard case but it is actually thin and malleable while still offering good protection.
Have you tried [this one] (https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01N63XLQ6/ref=mp_s_a_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1510150301&sr=8-3&pi=AC_SX236_SY340_FMwebp_QL65&keywords=glass+screen+protector+pixel+xl+spigen&dpPl=1&dpID=51OJh6AMGgL&ref=plSrch) by Spigen?
I charge my laptop using a USB-C wall charger. It's the same wall charger that also charges my phone. Being USB powered doesn't mean there has to be computer involved, so why wouldn't a hardware synth be able to charge over USB-C (provided manufacturers were to release new models with the port)?
I use the ZMI USB PD Powerbank for all of those items. It is the recomended powerbank for the guys in Wirecutter. It is actually 20000 mAh but is really small for that.

Wirecutter recomendations
> I read good reviews about Logitech keyboard but it maybe too thick to I went w The official Apple one.
I have the Smart Keyboard and the Brydge keyboard. I like the Brydge at home but usually, switch back to the Smart Keyboard when on the road.
> Where do you guys stash the pencil while Traveling
Either on the side of the iPad or in a bag with some other tech pieces (cables and chargers).
> Do you have a privacy screen on it for flights ?
Nope - but I also usually have a window seat and can angle the device more towards the corner if there's an issue. But I'm not working on anything top secret and if someone really wants to watch a film over my shoulder without audio then that's fine.
> if you found a good charger w multi usb c plugs
I personally have and use this Satechi charger though the more powerful port is meant for my laptop (I can and have charged my iPad through it though).
> backup battery w juice for this and iPhone
I have an Aukey Powerbank which is 10000mAh and a ZMI one which is 20,000mAh - which one I take depends on the trip.
Got this one with great reviews. I checked the reviews on fakespot and it says the reviews are 90% genuine. https://www.amazon.com/Protector-Maxboost-Tempered-Protectors-Accurate/dp/B073DLZWX7
I messed up the first one, but then I with the second figured out how to do it and get it to look perfect. No bubbles and a 99% perfect fit. Still have one extra since it’s a 3 pack.
I prefer to have a cutout for the camera area and I’ve been using iPhones and screen protectors since the iPhone 4S. I’ve never had any damage to the camera area. That way there aren’t any light reflections or etc messing with the light sensor, Face ID, and the selfie camera.
I would avoid this one because the cut out for the notch is wrong. https://www.amazon.com/iPhone-Protector-amFilm-Tempered-Installation/dp/B074ZNLM9J
Just buy screen protectors that come with an alignment tool and they end up costing about three bucks each.

What you are doing is dangerous, I strongly recommend you just throw that dongle away.
You CANNOT go from USB Type-C to any other type of port with a dongle. That is explicitly forbidden by the USB spec for good reason, as USB C can supply such high amounts of charge, converting blindly to other ports can cause fires.
The short answer to your problem, is you're going to need to buy a USB Type-C to mini/micro USB cable, and not a dongle. The cable will know it's only a mini/micro port and be incapable of charging at the full USB Type-C speeds, but it will charge your speaker properly.
The dongle you own is trying to trick the USB C cable into working with a different type of port, which is why it could be very dangerous because the USB cable itself doesn't know what type of charge to properly send.
If you want to use a dongle, you have to go the other direction, with micro/mini to USB C, which will then limit USB C to the slow charge speed that the cable can actually handle.
EDIT: Just to note, since your pictures are very vague. If that Samsung charger does not have a detachable cable, you'll also need a different charger, where the USB C cable is detachable.
Here are some suggestions to get you down to just a single charger and 1/2 cables:
Chargers:
Cables:
As a final note, you can also find dongles similar to what you have already, but they need to be the opposite of what you have. The dongle should always have the male part as USB Type-C, with the female part being Mini or Micro, such as this dongle. Just be aware whenever you do that, you're giving up some potential charging speed, as you're then limited to the older cable's specs. For example, that Samsung charger you have might be around 18w if it came with a phone or 30w if it came with a Chromebook, but if you charge with a micro cable, it would be limited to somewhere between 5-15w.
I have the AMVR arriving tomorrow and Amazon says they will back in stock the 14th
Mine is arriving much faster than their shipping date.
Edit: used it for a couple hours playing Gun Club VR. Everything fit perfectly. I’m pleased with my purchase. I don’t wear glasses, so I’m not sure about that fit.
I've tested out several different ones. Honestly, I didn't like any of the silicone covers. Silicone is supposed to be breathable, but these did nothing for stopping sweat from wicking the sweat to the cloth Quest covering, and they feel 'sticky' after just a bit of use if you take them off and put them back on, even with an alcohol wipe-down (the silicone absorbs a bit).
Also, I don't recommend any of the cloth covers. From my tests after a single wash even in cold-water by hand, they end up stretching in all the wrong ways and tough to get aligned right without leaving gaps or interfering with vision.
My favorite has been a leather cover. The AMVR cover comes with a replacement bracket with velcro attached and two different thickness leather covers. It also has notches in the top corners for the glasses arms. It comes with a nose guard that sticks with double-sided tape at the bottom to block out light, but I don't use that. I got mine on Amazon for $30.
If you do really want to go with silicone, the best of the bunch that I've tried was the "VR Face Silicone Cover Mask & Face Pad" from a seller named Devansi on Amazon. I had to trim around the inside a bit so it didn't interfere with vision.
Here are the links to Amazon (Sorry MOD if it's against the rules; let me know and I'll edit them out)
Best leather cover that I tested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07VT3BM7P
Best silicone cover that I tested: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X6DJQS1
BTW, the reason why I have tested so many different Quest products (covers, batteries, cords, cases) is to recommend setups for VR training. I wanted to find the best ones that would allow easy wipe-down in-between sharing among different user.
OP would you mind confirming that this is the TYLT dock you purchased? Thank you for the quality pictures and post. :)
TYLT Vu
Expensive, but solidly built and stylish. Wish the angle was a little but sleeper, but it's still pretty nice to see my phones display at a decent angle.
RAVPower Qi Charger/Portable Batter
Also kind of pricey, but worth it because it's useful and practical.

I keep one of these in my kit. I just plop it down in the sun and let it sit. I spent a good part of last summer at NTC as an OC and never ran out of power, I just zip tied it to my truck, and left my phone plugged in a majority of the time.
I also have a ram mount aqua box to protect my phone while it is charging, and I use this on my motorcycle while camping/travelling
I would get the Spigen Rugged Armour case 38mm/42mm and it's apparently it's got impact protection and is made of soft TPU that should protect the aluminium.

The reason I recommend this is because I have used Spigen cases on phones in the past and they don't scratch the devices from my experience. Some clear cases are subject to yellowing due to exposure from the sun.

There really aren't that many things that are specific to apple watch for $10 or less. If you broaden the scope to all Apple branded things, you could buy him an apple mug or poster or something like that. Gift cards are good too
This one since I bought my AW last year. It is very cheap but has held up this whole time. The charging disc fits snugly in the dock and the sticky tape stuff on the bottom has stuck to my stand, come off, and stuck to a different stand. It doesn't budge and supports night stand mode. For $7.
I have this case as well. I'd say it feels similar to a nexus 5. It adds some grip for sure. Makes one handed operation easier.

All I see is that you can only get it in black for $99, white is $150, but it looks like that because the white one is out of stock. Nothing about storage/RAM here.
Usually they'll have one of those small honda generators. They're really quiet. You're not supposed to have generators in GA, IIRC, but lol rules. They're hot items for theft too, so be careful.
Alternatively, I've seen people use the power packs like for car emergencies that have the regular plug outlets. They'll die pretty quickly with continuous use, so sometimes people bring a fee, but they're easily $100 each(example: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07FYJVFNK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_i_LemSCb8F83D33) .

I don't have it but people seem to be very pleased with it.
Also, you can get some sort of grip if you get cramps in prolonged gaming sessions.
I use the CTA Digital case. I also have the official Sony Travel Pouch for keeping the 3 parts of the charger, though to fit the Vita in there with the brick and USB cable, I have to take the part that plugs into the electrical outlet (the figure 8 cable) out or else it's too tight of a fit. Also if you've got Sony's official external battery pack, that can fit where the bricks goes in the pics.
I also have the following 2 cases made by HORI which I'm not using atm. The blue I'm intending on using with the Aqua Blue slim I'm planning on getting in July so I have both the OLED and slim Vitas, and maybe sometime the pink one if I want to carry games as the blue one unfortunately doesn't hold any.

Planning on also getting this Smatree case for that Vita slim for holding the 3 parts of the charger and if I ever want to bring everything at once. According to reviews, all 3 parts will fit, but it'll be a bit of a tight fit.
You can already use powerbanks such as this one. If you search this sub you can find a lot of info and ideas for mounting the batteries together with the basestations. For example, this battery caddy by /u/MissStabby looks very cool.
If you like to tinker with stuff you can get a close (but rough) imitation of a DIY laptop using the Motorola Atrix Lapdock with a board like the Odroid XU or the Odroid XU Lite.
If you google "raspberry lapdock" you'll find many guides that will help you to get started.
If you want a "full" DIY experience you'll have to hunt down the parts. Example:
You'll need some decent electronics knowledge, linux experience and lots of patience.
Recently i wanted to build a 11.6" laptop with a UDOO Quad board (since i could get one from a friend for a low price), after choosing all the parts i wanted, the cost was about 220€ (270$).
The hardest part is putting everything togheter in a case. I would recommend a 3d printed one or laser cut one but remember that it won't ever look as good as a manufactured laptop.
This will be by no means an easy or cheap project. You're going to put much time and money into it. If you value the experience itself above everything else, go for it. If you just want a laptop, buy one.
P.S. Probably i made some mistake here and there, so forgive me. Also, i'm no expert, iìm just a guy that likes to put projects on paper and never actually build them because i lack the money or the tools. So, take my word for what it's worth :)
let me preface this with: You do this at your own risk, while I haven't had issues does not make me responsible if anything of yours breaks.
The camera technically uses a 7.2v battery even tho the bottom of the camera says it accepts 8.4v. I'm not sure why there is a discrepancy.
Any battery bank with a 9v dc out would work. XTPower 10000 mAh has 4 LEDs on it to indicate power.(There are multiple sizes in that link too) or if you need even more power the RAVPower 23000 mAh has lots of juice, a display for remaining % and voltage options ranging up to 20v which can power some laptops.
These a-hole jacked the price way up. So don’t buy this one. The other colors are still higher priced but not fucking $60

Nothing shield official... But, there are ones like this, this, and this.
You'll find the same 3-4 designs sold by like 5 different companies. All of them claim to do up to about 10 inch tablets... So the Shield should work in them. I do not know their quality, but they're bluetooth so they should work as a regular x-input style controller.
Yeah I use the iPega PG-9023 which is big as can be, no where remotely pocketable, nor durable enough to be thrown in a bag. It basically makes my devices like a giant PSP, but I'm good with just playing at home or a long road trip where I don't have to worry about stuff.
(PC Controller) PS4 and/or XboxOne Controller $55
(Smart Phone Controller) MOGA $30-80
(Tablet Controller) Side Mounted Tablet Controller $30
(Keyboard) Cheap Bluetooth Keyboard ~$15
Roughly comes to 230 if you got everything . Since you get all that in a little package, the price tag is understandable IMO.
I recently got this iPega from Amazon for $30. Never heard of the brand before but I decided to spring for it since, like you, I don't like using touch screen buttons for playing classic, emulated games.
I've only tried it with Snes9x so far and it's been great. You don't have to download an app, just hold the controller's home & X buttons simultaneously to sync via Bluetooth. I like the design of the phone sitting between the controls, rather than the standard of the phone being elevated above the controller, since it makes it feel like one game system rather than a phone and separate accessory.
The buttons and joysticks are all responsive and feel pleasant to press, although the Start/Home/Select buttons are small, easily overlooked, and awkwardly sit under your left hand, but otherwise the layout is comfortable.
The only problem is that the Nexus 6 is so thick in the middle that the controller can't secure it if you have most cases on. But what I did was take off the grip pad that the phone is supposed to sit on, which removes without difficulty, and that gave me just enough room to tuck both sides of the phone into the nooks on either side of the controller. That plus the clasp in the middle/bottom of the controller and the locking mechanism for the slider give you enough security to play even while lying down with the phone elevated above you.
So far, I definitely recommend it, especially given the reasonable price, although as I said I have yet to try it with other emulators or games.
If you're serious about emulation you might want a decent D-pad. In my opinion the Moga and Sixaxis have subpar D-pads. This is the best one I've found:

Same concept, only $30 bucks, better reviews, and seemingly also better build quality for the buttons.

I bought this one this past weekend and it will be delivered tomorrow. It's good to hear the positive reviews on it. So many reviews on amazon nowadays are paid reviews so it's getting hard to gauge what's a good product.
I use a small dock for my watch and a wireless charging pad for my phone. Both are on my nightstand.
Looks definitely cool. But I'm always wondering if the material costs are lower than the 8$ stand from Spigen (this one).
Or is it more like a "I created this by myself" thing? :)
I have this one. It's a magnetic mount, so you need to stick a metal plate inside if your case.

Spigen Thin Fit! Great premium feel and great grip!
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Nexus-Premium-Finish-Coating/dp/B01761J26I
I use a Spigen Thin Fit case which is close enoguh to the natural profile that a DBrand Skin fits over it perfectly.
I use a black carbon skin with red carbon text and camera inlay. Looks fucking amazing, adds very little to the size of the phone and adds a basic protective value.
Check out the skins and see if there's one you like. Another bonus is you can get multiple cases and multiple skins and swap them with minimal effort.
Also if you're into wood grain Toast has some nice looking stuff, but you'd need to put that on the phone it's self since it wraps.
I bought both of these cases myself, actually. I didn't like the Rugged Armor case, the hole on the back is very small, with steep edges, which makes the angle your finger has to be at to unlock the phone rather unnatural, and hard to reach. I really liked the SUPCASE, the hole on the back is really big, so very easy to unlock, and it's good protection for the phone, as well as the clear back looking nice. It does add a bit of bulk to the phone, so I have opted for another one, a different Spigen case, which is on my phone now. It's a lot better than the rugged armor one in terms of the fingerprint scanner, but still not as easy access as the Supcase. It is very low-profile, though, which isn't a huge amount of protection, but if you're like me, and rarely drop your phone, it's good, and looks nice. If I'm traveling, or in a situation where my phone might be used a little more roughly, I would definitely prefer the Supcase over anything else.
Hey OP, hope I can help you out. Here are some terrific options from Blu:

I'm also a Moto Maker with Motorola and so I would be happy to give you a 10% discount on any Moto device if ordered through MotoMaker.com. If you designed and built a 3rd Gen Moto G (w/ 1 gb Ram, 8gb Storage), it will be receiving Marshmallow very soon and so buying a 32gb Micro SD card and formatting it as Internal Storage when Marshmallow drops on the G 3rd Gen will effectively boost the Memory to 40gbs.
Edit: That^ custom designed Moto G (with 10% discount) comes to $162+tax. I'm looking at the checkout screen right now to confirm.
Edit 2: The Moto G 3rd Gen is also Waterproof... :)
Let me know and hope I helped in any way! PM or comment if you have any concerns or questions!
Yes, When I had my EV I would drive under 50 miles almost every day.
Regarding the product i couldn't find a data sheet or specifications on your website.
That said from photos, and comments here, it appears to be a 5kWh external battery pack, able to be charged from a standard wall outlet (using a tiny wall wart), and with an integrated inverter powerful enough to run a factory volt EVSE (I assume something like 15A at 110V?)
Your website shows a slim female carrying the device with one hand, and you advertise the price as USD999. You state on reddit the current charge time from a wall outlet is 6 hours.
There are a few technical issues with the above that you really should look into.
Weight As an example, the chevy bolt battery pack holds 60kWh, and weights 440kg. Your pack is to be 12 times smaller, so weight will be at least 37 kg (prob more as packaging in a smaller pack will be less efficient. A 2kW inverter will be 5 - 8 kg, therefore your minimum weight will be 42 - 45kg's. No way your slim female is carrying that with one hand wearing heels.
Cost A 6.4kWh powerwall runs as USD3000. Your price is under a third of that, and you need to include an inverter & charger that will run to hundreds of dollars...
Wall Wart To charge in 6 hours, you will need to charge at 830Watts. I don't think any wall wart goes that high.
-------------------------------------------------
Take a look at what is already on the market:
0.4kWh, 300W output battery bank for USD390, 12.36 pounds
Anker 0.4kWh, USD500, 9.36 pounds
1.1kWh, 1100W output, USD1,749, 20 pounds
You specs require something about 10 to 12 times the capacity / inverter power as the first two items, and about 5 times the capacity / inverter power of the last one.
As such I would expect you would need to price your device at around USD 6000, and expect it to weigh 100pounds (roughly 50kg).
With those numbers the proposal is a lot less attractive. 50kg's is very hard to move by hand, and $6000 is a lot of money to tie up in a battery bank. (I wouldn't want to leave that unattended as I charged during the day). Also that money would go a long way in terms of just buying a longer range EV in the first place (Price jump from a 30kWh Leaf to a 60kWh Chevy Bolt in the USA is $6000) and that buys you a 6x the additional range of your 5kWh power pack, with convenance to boot... (no charging car and power pack each night (just charge car), no lugging around heavy power pack. no need to change except at night (every second night) for your 40/ 50 mile days)...

Pros : Minimum bulk, adds grip, easy to install/remove as it's flexible.
Cons : It hides the nice Aluminium back of the phone and logo. But there is the Ultra Hybrid case which is transparent.
Coupled with the Orzly 2.5D TGSP V2. Some people notice the dotted layer on the TGSP, but I don't, at all... Have to make sure that it is perfectly applied and centered so it doesn't interfere with the case.
Spigen Rugged Armor. I have the OtterBox too, but the Spigen just feels a lot better. It's cheaper too.

I bought it here
Honestly, i'm still using the screen protector provided by One Plus. Haven't found a reason to install the tempered glass yet. :S
I was looking into this today. Both aukey and anker seem to be making fairly compact dual port quick charge adapters.
Also found a 10,000mAh battery from ravpower that has quick charge input. Anyone using these adapters or battery?
Can someone tell me the difference between these 3 10,000mAh Anker external batteries? One
Two
Three
I don't know the difference between Quick Charge 3.0;PowerIQ, PowerIQ, and PowerIQ II.
This is the wall charger I have. Which one of those external batteries will work best with my wall charger??
Pixel
Pixel XL
Minus the battery, this is as close as I could find. I ultimately gave up on having it combined with the battery, and I think that was for the best, actually. To include a battery and circuitry cable of delivering 45W+ would be too heavy. There is shit like the Omni Ultimate (and they have delivered successful projects before), but it's just not worth the huge weight and space.
I go with the Nekteck and a small USB C battery pack for my phone.
This one is better I'm with 45W output vs the 30W linked in the other reply. Less bulky too.

Dunno how big your pockets are, but this is what I use. It's kinda big but it'll charge your phone for several days:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/
Whatever battery you opt for, make sure it has "PD" in the description. This means it'll fast charge your phone.
Wireless charging probably isn't the best bet for travel; you wanna be able to stuff your phone + battery into a backpack, airplane seat back, etc while it charges, and get the charging done rapidly.
I got the Diztronic case in matte black for my gold XS. I’ve owned diztronic cases for the iPhone 6, 6s, and 7. I’ve owned a couple of other cases but I somehow always go back to this brand. The matte blue used to look amazing with the phones with white faces, but this is the first time I’m opting for the matte black. Hoping the gold shows through the camera cutout.

Unfortunately it’s out of stock right now, but I got the AMVR facial interface and it has helped a ton with this issue. I don’t get the red marks that I used to, and the face pad doesn’t “scratch” so much. Hopefully it’ll be back in stock soon!

The reviews for that case are saying that it doesn't fit right and the there's not enough room for the headphone jack. One of the reviews suggested Spigen. I've been looking at this one
I'm currently rocking this Spigen case it's really slim and still has protection where it's needed. Plus it looks good.
Try the Spigen rugged armor case. I'm using it right now on my 3T. It looks much better irl than in pics, and it feels very protective and thin. Spigen is also a trustworthy brand.
I've decided to go with the Spigen case and 5 pack Orzly screen protectors.
I figured with the case protecting all the edges, these screen protectors would protect the face that is exposed, and that's perfect for me.
If you're going to spend that much on a charger you may as well buy an Anker with more ports.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G
Samsung sell this for 7 USD.
Else, pick up an Anker charger & cable, they're a trusted and reliable brand. They even sell multi-port chargers, so you can charge more than one device at a time.
This has two quick-charge ports.
 
This has two quick charge ports, and then 3 additional USB ports.
Op I recommend you buy this https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=emc_b_5_mob_t and use the supplied cables to charge the controllers usually charges fully from dead in about an hour or so
If you need two ports:

If you only need one:

I have the 1-port charger and love it. Like u/TheRipePunani (lol) said, anything Anker or Aukey and you can't go wrong.
I hate to break it to you, but Anker's USB-C charger does not fast-charge the iPad Pro. Here's the response I got from Anker when I asked them about it.
'Glad to hear that you are interested in Anker products. Since the OEM charger of 12.9' iPad Pro uses Apple's Power Delivery technology with an input of 14.5V/2A, sorry to tell you that we have no charger which can charge as quickly as its OEM charger. However, our PowerPort Speed 2 (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUSYF8G) can take 4:57:26 to fully charge 12.9' iPad Pro.'
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01IUSYF8G
I use this, charges both of them at the same with with fast charging.

Spigen Full Cover Glass Google Pixel XL Screen Protector with Tempered Glass for Google Pixel XL- Black https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01N63XLQ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_6cLFyb7PNC01H
I have heard nothing but good things about the Spigen full coverage protectors. They're inexpensive, try one and see if it works out for you.
https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Protector-Tempered-Coverage-Hardness/dp/B01N63XLQ6/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1495140113&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+pixel+xl+tempered+glass
Also, I highly recommend pairing the phone with the caseology parallax case and spigen full coverage screen protector. The spigen goes edge to edge and doesn't cutoff any of the lcd. Have not experienced any lifting or rainbowing due to the 2.5d glass design on the pixel. Also the screen protector goes right up to the edge of the case and leaves virtually no gap.

I would definitely go with a Spigen screen protector if you're going to go with one. It covers the whole screen, and also works with the Caseology Parallax. I have the same case, with the Spigen screen protector here's my setup: https://imgur.com/gallery/Szvz1 the screen had a bubble but it's normal and went away in a few days. I've gotta say it's been my favorite screen protector I've had. Here's the screen protector: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N63XLQ6/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_7XVLybWQ5M6QT
Do you bubbles disappear when you put pressure on them and then re-appear after you remove pressure? If so, then the curvature of the screen is your problem. I used these on the Pixel's that my GF and I both use. No bubbles, perfect fit. I trusted the online review of other screen protectors and it really paid off.
They make them for the Pixel XL as well.
I second the Spigen glass screen protector. This is the one I use.

I bought these:
Screen protector
Case
Had them since Oct 2017 and still going great. Case is tight, not stretched. I cracked one screen protector with my keys and bought another.
Only issue I've had with the screen protector is it doesn't adhere to the screen, it just sticks around the edge.. so I get dust under it occasionally. But, it's also easy to pull off (intentionally mind you) and clean, so you can re-apply it and it works great again. Looks great.
I am using a Coosa 72W USB-C charger with my T480s. This model ("PDS75-4UTO1") is sold under different brandings for around €30-€40, e.g. this Nekteck charger on US Amazon. It can charge at 20V and 2A, i.e. 40W.
I also bought a RAVPower 26800mAh Powerbank which can charge the laptop at 15V/2A, i.e. 30W without any problems.
The /r/UsbCHardware moderator team is at your service providing information on all USB C hardware, even in other subreddits. In other words, you can run but you can't hide :D
Anker, as mentioned, is a great choice, it's one of the trio we always recommend especially for cables (AmazonBasics-Monoprice-Anker), however to give you better advice, I'd need to know what wattage do you need from the PD port. If you only want to charge Pixel, may I recommend the Xiaomi Mi 60W Fast+QC+PD usb charger CDQ06ZM? Here's a test from a highly reputable test site. If you search aliexpress (or just google 32857580730) you can find it for just 25 USD which is a great price for this many ports on a quality charger. I won't link to avoid spamming.
Should you need to charge a laptop, https://smile.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ has only three USB A ports (but you said you only needed three) and these three USB A ports are sharing 2.4A (the previous one had four sharing 4.8A plus a fifth completely standalone) however the USB C port is 60W, the charger is UL and USB IF certified and still < 30 USD.
Awesome - thanks so much for your help + the follow up!
Great photo reference :)
Yeah heading to Tokyo, so on a long flight + trains throughout the trip - but trying to keep things light / somewhat minimal, thus leaning the QB820 for flexability + usb hub etc... but it is a close call! As I wont be using the power bank the full flight time - (10ish hrs) I think the 20,000 should do the job + will be able to recharge it at the hotel on arrival etc...
On the topic of recharging, I prefer black / darker stylings - do you have any black/dark wall AC usb PD chargers that would work well with the QB820 ?
Also - would this adapters USB C power outlet work to fast charge back up the QB820 ?
https://www.amazon.com/Lightbeam-Worldwide-Universal-International-Countries/dp/B07CZXC2QQ/
( Bit confused on what specs I need a wall AC / charger to have to enable fast re-charging of the power banks)
thanks again for the help / info!
EDIT: Or would this be better for travel + recharging the powerbank via usb C ?
https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/
If it's the xps 9370 just buy a 45w USB if certified charger from amazon. Like this

Or

Why not use a multi-port charger so that you can charge your phone and tablet without having to go through the Chromebook?
Something like https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ
Zimi makes a 45-watt USB PD enabled laptop charging power bank that works well with Spectre x360. The laptop can be charged at up to 45 watts on the 15V/3A PD profile. It has a small form factor for a 20000 mAh battery with its size: 6.31 × 3.22 × 0.83 inches.

This battery bank I got recently is cool because it can also charge laptops and power the Switch dock (if you'd ever want to do that for some reason).
For a case, I have a rebranded version of this case that I've only ever heard good things about. It's pretty great... they also made a larger version apparently that can hold the AC adapter.
Edit: There is a matching AC adapter for the battery bank that's good for travel. I use it to charge the Switch and power my Nintendo dock that I moved to smaller plastics for travel and bringing to friend's houses.
This is what I use with my Pixelbook + other devices, it works really well: https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Powerbank/dp/B072BD98CM

iPhone X Screen Protector, Maxboost (Clear, 3 Packs)https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073DLZWX7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_xDVhAb0MZ6DE9
For those interested, these tempered glass protectors are amazing.
Got mine in today and application was streamlined, quick, and perfect.
What’s more, they go around the notch and wouldn’t end up causing any kind of issues with the sensor array.
I bought this one on amazon for $10 and it comes with an alignment tool which is nifty.
I didn’t get it 100% perfect but I think it’s more because I wasn’t paying attention to what I was doing...
I’ve used cheap and expensive protectors and I haven’t noticed any differences. I’m currently using a Maxboost protector that’s been on my XS since last November and it works flawlessly.

These screen protectors are a bit more expensive upfront, but I got codes for a lifetime warranty, as well as for a free screen protector for my next phone when I decide to upgrade. Works great too. Had a frame guide for putting it on with all the tools you need and theres 3 of them so if there’s anything at all wrong, you have plenty more.
No not a case but a screen protector.

Like this one for example. They will break but your screen will be fine!
I bought this one and really like it. It was also the easiest screen protector I’ve ever had to put on. It comes with a frame that fits around your phone that allows you to easily perfectly align the protector. Also didn’t have any bubbles or anything.
I got these and am happy. No weird rainbow effect. No distortion. Not bad with dust. And come with easy install frame for lining up

I was actually thinking the same thing, but for those who don't need to charge up a smaller laptop, this lil brickwill do the trick too. On that note it is also a great choice for those looking to match that "Apple Aesthetic."
Adding on, do you need two usb ports/type-a?
https://smile.amazon.com/AK-A2017121-27W-PD-1-Port/dp/B07DFGKFM3/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=gan+18w&amp;qid=1565216004&amp;s=wireless&amp;sr=1-1
this is still 30w charger but only 1 port. 2oz vs 4.6
Get two of these. You would need a usbc to lightning cable to use the mini, but not with the pro. Also these are 30w so they’ll charge both devices fast. Bonus if you have iPhone 8’s or newer, as those could benefit from the fast charging as well.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DFGKFM3/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_wKsoDbJ2DGJM8
Now I understand what you’re saying, and I know that it will charge the phone fast, so maybe I shouldn’t have said charge fast because I know the difference. However, since iOS doesn’t really indicate any other way your phone is PD charging it’s really hard to tell
Far from ideal... consider PowerPort Atom PD 1 with a USB-C to Lightning Cable.
There are some chargers that are really small and light, completely worth it if you carry your charger around a lot.
Like for example this:
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B07DFGKFM3/ref=sspa_dk_detail_3?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07DFGKFM3&pd_rd_w=A92K2&pf_rd_p=4b7c8c1c-293f-4b1e-a49a-8787dff31bcb&pd_rd_wg=nV57x&pf_rd_r=2AP65MAFAT3G1YJF2NCD&pd_rd_r=b2e879f1-c748-4b2c-b1f9-c61144951085&spLa=ZW5jcnlwdGVkUXVhbGlmaWVyPUEzRUFZTTRLTUFCQThVJmVuY3J5cHRlZElkPUEwMTgxMDQ0MlNaSVc3N0FCMEM0TCZlbmNyeXB0ZWRBZElkPUExMDEzNzUyM0pMVkI2U1JHNThMJndpZGdldE5hbWU9c3BfZGV0YWlsJmFjdGlvbj1jbGlja1JlZGlyZWN0JmRvTm90TG9nQ2xpY2s9dHJ1ZQ==
Don't buy cheap, buy good. The difference in price is minimal but the benefits of a good and light charger are well worth it. And you can never have too many chargers.
Anker Atom. Uses GaN instead of silicon so it can deliver 30W in the rough size of the iPhone’s 5W brick.

I’d recommend the newer version of what /u/Duglitt recommended.
Anker Atom PD
I'm pretty happy with this one https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07DFGKFM3/ and picked up this cable https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B071WNXY1R/ to go with it. Fast charges my Samsung Chromebook Plus (v2) and also my Note 8. If your CB is 30 watt or below, it should do a fine job. It's pretty small, doesn't take much room in a bag even though the prongs don't fold. I would guess that any PD charger that supplies at least what your old one did will work fine as well.
When I search for this now it doesn;t show anything however the link below shows the product (just that it's currently unavailable). I purchased this when it said delivery for 21st Aug, hope they honour that!

Gap doesn't bother me, but if it really bugs you get a small microfiber cloth for cleaning glasses, fold it once or twice, and place it on the bridge of your nose. Then, put this on your amazon wishlist and order it when you get the in stock notification...
The XL gets pretty good battery life. I average about 7-8 hours of play and 3 days in standby.
The only extended XL battery I've seen is the Mugen, which is both unnecessarily expensive and bulky. I'd say you're better off buying an USB charging cable and a portable USB battery pack if you really need more play time. I travel around with two PS Portable Chargers. They are small, very light, work very well for my HTC One, 3DS XL and PS Vita.

http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1396973159&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ps+vita+portable+charger
I was considering picking up the Sony one until I found I could get twice the capacity with two ports for 7 bucks more.
Do you know how that charger compares to this one?
I'm curious as to which one would give more battery charge
EDIT: Just answered my own question by Googling. At 10,000mAh, the one you listed has more than double the battery capacity of the charger I listed (5,000 mAh).
For reference, the PS Vita battery is 2,210 mAh, so more than 4X the battery life with the charger you listed!
A portable battery, like this? http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8
I use the Official Battery Pack because it's way smaller than most external battery packs and it fits inside my PS Vita pouch.
What's to troll? This link on Playstation's site has April 1st. Gamestop and OP's Amazon link have a release date of April 30th.
You really think Sony started an elaborate April Fool's Day joke when they announced this product months ago? Sony's not that clever.
Don't forget the portable charger.

I have one but it also doesn't hold much of a charge.
I use a different grip now and have been considering the portable Vita charger.
If battery time is a big enough concern for travel, I'd consider picking up one of these bad boys like I did. I've used it while traveling and I've never run out of battery. It's enough to get the vita up to a full charge.

The vita is picky with where its taking power from, It’ll only accept 1.5v! I had a anker power bank that was 2.4 and it wouldn’t accept the charge at all so i purchased the official portable charger battery for the vita and it works just fine. Pretty cheap right now too! https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006JKARP8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1517772043&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX236_SY340_QL65&amp;keywords=ps+vita+power+bank&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41CJmuKxLGL&amp;ref=plSrch
Engineer here, but I do lots of reports (Bluebeam for PDF, Office 365).
Scaling is a real thing - it's annoying but not show stopping. When you dock/undock certain things are likely to not work 100% correct. (1) if your scaling is difference, the scaling on apps may or may not work right. 99% of the time it's still usable, but 1% of the time it is not. When you dock, your USB ports may not sync up right (I have a Logitch G13 Gaming pad I use for CAD shortcuts...it's hit or miss). When you undock, the audio might not work exactly right.
Logging out and immediately back in (not rebooting, takes ~6 seconds if you aren't running programs) fixes all of it. Both on dock and on undock. The bad news is that you have to exit out of everything that is running when you log out. It's a pita for me as I have ~8 chrome windows open with multiple email and web apps. If it's word and Drawboard it's nothing - they will offer to bring you back to where you were when you last exited. I run 2 - 4k, 42" monitors off the dock. It took some fiddling, I'll be honest. I've heard lower res monitors are not so fussy.
The active adapter seems to be somewhat funny - some people need them, some don't.
Accessories: I still prefer a real mouse, and the MX Master is very nice. Also, I have a MS Designer BT keyboard. It matches (mostly) the layout on the typecover and, as such, is very easy to switch back and forth efficiently. Since my 2 monitors are so large, I've taken to putting my SP4 in front of one of them, and the keyboard and mouse in front of the other. Lazy? sure. Efficient? yes. You're probably billing twice what I am (maybe more), every second counts.
Nothing on the market is faster, lighter, and has a digitizer pen. Which reminds me - you're going to want some external batteries if you have to spend all day in court and don't have a power outlet. 6 hours is going to be the outside of what to expect from the battery under your loading conditions. You can extend that by force sleeping more frequently (close the lid - it wakes in a fraction of a second), but your screen time is what it is. You might have 3-4 units in the office you can share and take with you "just in case". Even something small like this: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00935L44E/ will give you an extra 4+ hours of "on" time if paired with a SP4 charging cable (~$10-12)
I have a ton of liPo's for RC toys. HERE is my travel setup. All you need is 12 volts +- 5%. There are also POWER PACKS on amazon that are plug and play with the base stations.
You can even use a battery for the HMD. Which I did for a while but ended up going with a boost from 5v USB to 12v.
So, I have found an item on Amazon that a lot of HTC Vive owners are using to power their Lighthouses, sadly it is a bit on the expensive side but it supposedly works great and lasts a long time!

Hello,
So I work Support for Teradek so obviously there is some bias. I can give some insight on the solutions as from my perspective as some of the pro's vs the LiveU.
Battery requirements would need to be 6-12 volts and I would suggest having a battery that has barrel connection outputs similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/XTPower-MP-10000-External-10000mAh-included/dp/B00935L44E/ref=sr_1_4?s=electronics&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1521828393&amp;sr=1-4&amp;keywords=power+bank+with+12v+output
As another note, if you are going to do switching between cameras, you need to have a seamless switcher, maybe something like this: https://www.amazon.com/HUIERAV-Multi-Viewer-Seamless-Function-Support/dp/B01M8I6SKL
I pm'ed vk2zay (Alan Yates) a while ago. Initally, I wanted to go with eneloop batteries + casing. I changed my mind.
Me:
(...) I wanted to ask a question which has been @reddit for several times, but there's no exact
defintive: I want to use batteries to power the Lighthouses. (...) Will the AC port still be the same
on the consumer version and do you think this will work fine with the setup I am going for (12V)?
vk2zay:
Yes, it is still 12 Volts. It is better to use a regulated supply like these:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00935L44E I've never tested a simple
collection of cells, it may work fine.
That is a 5V battery pack for cell phones and tablets. You need a 12V source to charge the solo.
Something like this:
http://amzn.com/B00935L44E
http://amzn.com/B005NGLTZQ
You could also buy a 12V solar panel and charge the solo that way.
The best vapes for off-the-grid use (except at altitude) are butane powered vapes (Hammer, Lotus, Wispr 2, etc.)
Since everyone else is telling you it isn't possible, I'm just gonna recommend an actual wireless charger. TYLT VU. Looks great on my desk and any time my phone isn't in my hand, it's on the charger. Bonus that the stand is tilted and I can see notifications at a glance. Haven't plugged my N6 in once since I got it. I can confirm the black and red colors look great in person.
Tylt vu is by far my favorite.

I also have ankers charger but it is single coil so it is finicky on placement. It charges as fast as whichever adapter is used. I also us a QC 3.0 charger on that

The anker is faster, both gave fairly low heat input, I have the anker on my desk and the tylt vu at work.
yea nexus charger wont work.
I know of 2 that work for sure that I have bought.
This one
and This one
I got both for about 45 bucks at the time when I bought them. From what I am seeing shooting for a charger wiht 3 coils is your best bet for something that works properly.
One of those in on my desk at work, and the other at home so I use them both daily. Which they also charge my nexus tablet fine as well.
This one looks promising and cheap.I would try it if i didn't already have 2

TYLT Vu Wireless Charger. I love this charger! It's really easy to make sure it's centered on the charging spot.
I have the Samsung back, this charger and this windshield mount for my car. It's convenient, but I find that my phone overheats a lot. I oscillate back and forth on whether to keep the back on the phone or not. I also find that it makes it impossible to use some of the battery packs like the mophie case.
Kingston DTSE9 - Small little metal 16GB USB drive that's meant to go on your keys. I've had mine for 3 years and I love it. It's gets this really nice beaten-up, stonewashed finish after rubbing on your keys for awhile. You can see how small it is on my keys here.
Fenix E12 - Compact single AA flashlight that is a great size for putting in your pocket/bag. I have the previous model, the E11, and I love it. Fairly bright for a single AA.
Leatherman Bit Set - I just recently bought this for myself, and it's amazing. I have a Leatherman Wave and a Skeletool CX which use Leatherman bits; some of the lower end Leathermans don't use these. This comes with torx, phillips, flat, hex, and small eyeglass bits.
Solar Panel Cell Phone Charger - I keep this exact model in my backpack with a 6" USB cable. It's basically just a small solar panel with a USB port. Really nice build quality for the price, and it works great. It can charge my phone twice without needing to be charged via computer or sunlight.
I think all of this is under $80 cumulatively.
I bought this one. But I guess it's discontinued now. It worked well enough for me. I put it on a window sill more often than I put it in direct sunlight and it still charged.
Or for 15 dollars cheaper:

No. Not much of the US population lives in areas of the US that are consistently sunny, or windy, to use solar or wind power. Some areas can use both, but the expense is way too high right now to use both. If I got solar and wind systems for free would I use them? Of course! I think they are neat! I simply cannot afford them, nor can I afford to put money out on cheaper systems which will break in 5 years.
My little solar charger to recharge my phone takes 7 days to recharge itself in a Michigan winter. That is not useful in the winter. It takes about 8 hours in the summer. That's a huge difference of energy coming from the sun. And I can't afford any bigger PV panels.
I'd LOVE to have that chip that converts waste heat to electricity directly but it seems they can't get it off the ground. It's a lab curiosity only.
Oh no i forgot to mention the controller. There's a telescopic Bluetooth controller i use with it that stretches over it. Lettme find the link and show you it

Emulators. I got THIS controller a while back that can actually hold the tablet. I've used it to play GBA, SNES, N64, PS1, DS and PSP games all fantastically well.

I've been using the Spigen dock since I got my S1 and it's been great. It's dirt cheap and enables the desk clock/nightstand mode. Soft touch, rubberized feel and takes up very little space on my nightstand. Both include a little bumper to adjust for the 38mm, as they're setup for the 42mm out of the box. Cheap, simple and they get the job done.

I bought the Moko brand for my wife and she has used it with no issue on her S0 for some time. I think the cable management is a tad cleaner on the Moko. Otherwise it's almost identical to the Spigen.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B010LFIXMA/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_dtfrybKGBNYQF
You can get a perfectly decent charging stand that supports nightstand mode for $10.99. It's not worth butchering your watch case (and decreasing potential resale value) for that little IMO.

One of these cheap and cheerful and does the job
I personally don't like the vent mounts, but love the magnetic mount concept. I also don't use optical media, so seemed like the perfect use for my CD slot.
I remember it being cheaper, and the one downside is it doesn't seem to work in all CD slots equally - works great in my car, not at all in my truck. I would avoid this thing tho, it broke within a week.
I found the vent mounts were the same, did not work equally in all vehicles (different vent designs work better than others for a mount).
Edit - found a cheaper one that looks similar to the one I have.

Does your car have a CD player and an aux input? In my old car these two products were excellent:

If you're already happy with the mount you have you don't need the second one, I really liked mine though. When I was car shopping I really put a premium on Apple CarPlay but now I realize it's still shitty if your car is powered by an underpowered Android tablet from 5 years ago, which it appears most new cars are.
Magnetic a gizmo that slides into the CD slot - I have a gen 1 volt. Don't think gen 2 has a CD slot.
I just ordered this one. I'm not expecting very much but maybe I'll be surprised.

Here it is on Amazon. I bought it and it's definitely my favorite so far.
I'd recommend the Spigen Thin Fit. Pictures here.
I bought one, and I absolutely love it. The material is similar to the soft-touch back on the Nexus 5 which helps make it grippy while staying minimal. The exposed buttons are my preference for cases and I now hate the adopted case I originally bought with the phone. I agree with you that almost every 6P case is extremely ugly, but not the Thin fit.
Still allows the white to peek out but with added grip/protection compared to the bare aluminum.
Also preordered a Rhino Crash Guard bumper.
here you go: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01761J26I/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
2 best cases, in my opinion, are the Spigen Rugged Armor and the Spigen Thin Fit. They both fit perfectly (even with a screen protector) and look and feel great. Just depends on the amount of bulk/protection you want.
Hey, welcome to Fi! I got my sim chip, but I have to wait until Feb. 22 to switch over because I'm still on contract. I'll join you soon though ;)
There is a great thread about a modular stand. Also, I just bought this case, it's on a 70% discount right now.
I am an avid biker, and have tried MANY different mounts. The only one that I have found to work perfectly is the Quad Lock Bike Mount. I use it attached to this case, which I only put on while I bike. I highly recommend this setup.
I have an Aluminum 6P, and I went with the black Spigen Thin Fit case. I really hate bulky cases, so this one is great for me. It's the bare minimum protection, so it doesn't add much bulk. And it actually improves the phone in my opinion. The power/volume buttons were so easy to hit accidentally, now they're recessed and that never happens. Adds more grip to the phone as well. And I've dropped my phone a few times since getting the case, and haven't experienced any damage. Protects the corners, lifts the screen. (though I also have a tempered glass protector) Can't recommend it enough!
I been using the BLU Life One X for a few months and I'm happy with it.
https://www.amazon.ca/BLU-Smartphone-GSM-Unlocked-Canada-Compatible/dp/B0189RMNTG/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1469555607&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=blu+life+one+x
First of all, do not buy a T-mobile phone or an ATT phone company phone.
Tand A go out of their way to limit the phones by hiding bands and other crap.
Save yourself lots of headaches and get an UnLocked phone with both ATT and Tmobile
Unlocked phones just optimize your options for the future. Swithch between various Tmo and Att Options.
At this point, I'd say the $150 Blue Life One X is the best bang for the money.
the $150 Blue Life One X easily looks and performs like a $300 + phone.
Looks good, 5.2 beautiful screen, very slim, Full HD Screen, etc.
the $150 Blue Life One X is not perfect, but an overall good buy.
http://www.amazon.com/BLU-Life-Unlocked-Smartphone-Black/dp/B0189RMNTG/
Contact prices definitely are cheaper right now with their new promotions. Some phones are really priced low for their commitment prices and the monthly plans are lower than they previously were ($70 vs $75).
However if you look outside of the phone offerings that Tbaytel has, you can definitely turn the table on those figures. OnePlus X for $329 CAD, Sony M4 Aqua $270 CAD, Moto G (2015) $245 CAD, BLU Life One X $206 CAD
Bringing the total cost over 2 years somewhere between $1406 and $1529 vs $1680 if one was to take a 'free' phone on a new contract at $70/month.
EDIT: There are some 'free' phones Tbaytel is currently offering that are way better than the above listed ones. HTC One M9 for example; $560 cheapest price online for new + $1200 ($50 24) = $1760 vs $1680 ($70 24). Other free phones, not so much. Moto X Play at $420 outright is cheaper to buy outright, Moto E at $200 outright is a rip off in the first place considering it's $160 from Motorola directly but even at $200 is still cheaper than on contract.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0189RMNTG/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1457895954&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=SY200_QL40&amp;keywords=blu+life+one+x&amp;dpPl=1&amp;dpID=41YBLg94dIL&amp;ref=plSrch
Blu Life One X seems to fit the bill. Great bang for your buck.
I'm sorry I meant the Blu Life "One" X. I was confused because it is the same price as the Moto G 2nd Gen. The only reason I would pick the Moto G is because of the unlockable bootloader. If you want to do VR I highly suggest picking the Blu because of the higher resolution.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B0189RMNTG?ref=olp_product_details
First one that comes to mind (that IIRC just got released) is the Xiaomi Redmi Note 3. Though I'm not a fan of MIUI (rather, it's slow and dubious update history), it'll be similarly sized and well priced in typical Xiaomi fashion.
Though it's not a "future" release, Blu just released their Life One X (2016) for a staggering $150. Despite the price, it has a 1080p 5.2" screen, 13mp camera, is on 5.1.1 and is confirmed to get Marshmallow in early 2016. It'll probably have significantly better band support in the US than Xiaomi's offerings - hell, it even has Band 12 support. That said, I don't know if it has NFC support or not.
Edit: Apparently Alcatel was planning a One Touch Idol 3X (with an AMOLED display and a more "premium" feel than the Idol 3), but it was cancelled. What a shame, I bet it would have been a marvelous phone for the price.
> AMAZING at taking photos
yeah, not going to find that in anything ~$200
> one plus 2
looks like you're not shooting that high. this should do the trick, and only $150.
With some searching around, I was able to find a good phone.
Pros:
16 GB of memory
2 GB of RAM
13 MP camera
Runs 5.1 lolipop
1.3 GHZ Octacore processor
Has Corning Gorilla Glass 2
Has dual sims
Cons:
Cost 138 Euros, 38 over your budget - but you would have to be a fool to not get it
*Has no modding community, although it runs Lolipop and has great specs, so I don't see how it would be an issue
While this one won't meet all your desired specifications, at a mere $149, consider the Blu Life One X (2016). It's compatible with T-Mobile and has Band 12. So unless they work with T-Mobile, HD Voice and VolTE and Wifi Calling won't make it in. Supposedly Marshmallow will come to the device around March 2016. It does have a MediaTek Octacore (roughly around the performance of the Snapdragon 801 often used last year), dual-sim slot, MicroSD card support, 2GB of RAM, 13MP and 5MP cameras, an aluminum frame, and 5.2" 1080P display. But reading some reviews, it lacks in some areas that some may find crucial
It's not an amazing device that'll blow your socks off. But at the price point (especially if you got it for $99 when it first launched 2 weeks ago), it's a great device–definitely better than a Galaxy S3.
I did manage to pick up a couple of ZTE ZMax's for $45 at Walmart (under Family Mobile) before they first stopped selling them. That's also a great low-mid end device (great battery life).
I also have used the Moto X Pure. Currently, no Wifi-calling (not sure about HD Voice and VoLTE, either. Does have Band 12 support on Marshmallow now.
The best device that meets your requirements is the Nexus 5X. For the price of $329, you get timely updates directly from Google, you get HD Voice, VoLTE, Band 12 and Wifi-Calling, fast charging, USB Type C, a great display, and more.
Realistically, it all depends on how much you want to spend and what features you want.

I've been intrigued by the goal zero generators for a while, but then I found this. Seems to be significantly more powerful for the same price, still has solar inputs. I do lots of car camping and am really considering something like this eventually.
Someone above posted about the goal zero, its a great product! for the budget savy person, i went with a cheaper route that i keep in my van that keeps me running smoothly on my weekend shoots granted i shoot motorsports, but it keep my laptop charged, battery packs, audio equipment, phone and gimbals all charged up. its the Anker powerhouse, decent price and its on sale, lightweight enough to take with me if needed, and its dead quiet check it out. https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM
I just got a Anker Powerhouse (https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493417945&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=anker+powerhouse). It is expensive but good for all sorts of emergency power. I can run a full night with the humidifier on, or multiple nights without. I was considering the deep cycle marine battery and all in the DYI ideas, but chose something more expensive, but more flexible.
Apparently you can charge it with a 120 w solar panel (16-17 volt, 8 Amp). See the questions at: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Powerhouse-120000mAh-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM
This is not the cheapest option, just the best known one.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0196GQAKM/_encoding=UTF8?coliid=I24XAD72I4220&amp;colid=1TMGWJRFITCSB
Seems really damn solid and reliable. However, I haven't used it before. Expensive too. About 15 laptop charges, might be overkill for you if it's only for the weekend.
This is one of the larger sizes that Anker makes.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0196GQAKM
This is the one that I use. I think they have a shorter one available as well. I'm a fan of Anker products. I do wish they offered a 10ft one of these though. I used a 10ft micro usb for my last phone at my bedside and loved it for that little bit of extra freedom it allowed me while charging. This chord though, works great although doesn't charge as quickly as the pure C chord, but I think that's the case with all USB-C to USB-A (I might be wrong)
This cable fixed all the problems I was having been working great about 6 months now. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B01GN0M6NE?psc=1&amp;ref=yo_pop_mb_pd_title
anker powerline + works great with qc here is the amazon link.

Just a heads up it's showing as £0.99 on the uk site, so may want to buy it now!
Maybe pick up one of these external batteries. They're supposed to be pretty good. I have a nyko grip and that does enough for me.
I'd rather drop $25 on a battery than dim the screen. Personal preference.
Mine was a day one purchase and I'm only starting to look at replacing the battery now. The process seems easy but first you need to find a new battery and that's not so easy... well, we'll see.
I travel quite intensively and my flights are usually between 4 to 10 hours.
I don't have any issue with the vita's battery as it is as I don't use BT and always put the plane mode when needed and of course make sure that when that I have less than 50% left, I charge it.
Also, if I may suggest, buy this. It's really neat. It can give you two more charges and it's small enough to fit in a travel bag / backpack.
I would say go for the first gen and enjoy. I don't plan to upgrade to the 2000 simply because I like my Vita as it is. We'll see for the next model which will be released in 18 months :)
In your opinion which of the two is better? I'm on the fence about this. If I get the battery packs everyone is referring to, battery doesn't factor in as much. I'm sure I will gripe about it when flying to India but that's another issue.
How did you feel with the difference in screen quality? Did you feel there was enough positive change to justify getting the slim PSVita?
*edit added question and corrected spelling.
Here: http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8
this is the official playstation portable charger.
$70 is kinda expensive.If it had battery extension and thumbstick extension for that price it would be ok.But thats very pricy now.
Also video of a working prototype would be better.Also an idea..
Grip looks like its quite thick.You can make a place for http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8 and it would be awesome.
Yeah I think there is a certain current requirement of the Vita, I'm not sure what it is though. Sony makes an official one but it has a pretty small capacity: http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/
There's actually a real, sony released power bank made specifically for the vita. I mean I guess you could charge it with anything but if you want the real McCoy click here. If you have prime it's priced pretty well and has good reviews. http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/ref=sr_1_4?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1458165275&amp;sr=8-4&amp;keywords=vita+charger
It's not the voltage, it's the amperage. You need at least 1.5mA to be able to charge while playing.
I use the official PS Vita Portable Charger from Sony.
https://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8
It's not a great charger though, you can find external batteries with way more capacity than this one out there with a better price. When I bought mine it was only 10 dollars, that's why I bought it.
Sure, best thing ever. http://www.amazon.com/PS-Vita-Portable-Charger-Sony/dp/B006JKARP8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1418700581&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=psvita+battery&amp;pebp=1418700592940
I'm able to game on the Vita off Wi-Fi for 5 hours or so if I remember correctly. Pretty long for sitting there constantly gaming. You could always get this as well.
But shipping is the factor as I feared so fair enough.
I'm pretty sure the available external battery marketed for the vita can charge other usb devices as well, so single purpose may not be a concern.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006JKARP8/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1377393780&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SX110_SY165
Im thinking you can pretty much use any recent battery pack that has a USB port on it. Might need to be 5v out put I think
Anker is a good brand
Here's a Reddit post about it https://www.reddit.com/r/Vive/comments/42271m/comment/cz74ynb?st=IYHFF1VZ&amp;sh=5aaa93d7
Update: that post says they are 12volts. So you need a pack that can do 12volts
Looks like people are using this one https://www.amazon.com/XTPower-MP-10000-External-10000mAh-included/dp/B00935L44E/
Solid, thank you!
Do you know if I can use the regular m4/3 metabones adapter with the bmpcc? I know there is a specific one for the bmpcc but right now I only have the regular adapter for my gh4.
Also I was thinking of this for a battery solution: http://www.amazon.com/XTPower-MP-10000-External-10000mAh-included/dp/B00935L44E?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=ox_sc_act_title_1&amp;smid=A1F3RS3IOEG1Z2
Is there something else you'd recommend?
> Do you know if I can use the regular m4/3 metabones adapter with the bmpcc?
Yes, it will work. The major difference between the two is that the BMPCC-specific adapter has a 0.58x focal length reduction.
> I was thinking of [this] (http://www.amazon.com/XTPower-MP-10000-External-10000mAh-included/dp/B00935L44E/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) for a battery solution. Is there something else you'd recommend?
Yes, instead I recommend a [$19.80 LED NPF-Series Battery Plate adapter] (http://www.amazon.com/ILED-Battery-Adapter-BMPCC-HDV-Z96/dp/B00WLEKQS4/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20) with a couple of [$8.14 Sony NP-F550 batteries] (http://www.amazon.com/Generic-Replacement-NP-F550-Digital-Battery/dp/B0007Q9PWQ/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20&amp;linkId=4957cd4e6b39f1b168a7bcc6dc3f30fd) (and a [$13.99 dual charger] (http://www.amazon.com/CyberShot-DSC-RX100-DSC-RX100M-HDR-AS100V-HDR-AS100VR/dp/B00W8BWNFO/ref=as_li_ss_tl?ie=UTF8&amp;linkCode=ll1&amp;tag=battleforthew-20)) [Referral Links].

POWER BANK. Needs 12V DC output. And the size of this one or less https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B015VDLWZW/ref=ask_ql_qh_dp_hza
Couldn't find many options, that or this is all I could find
https://www.amazon.com/XTPower-MP-10000-External-10000mAh-included/dp/B00935L44E
It's gonna go in my heated jacket gadget this winter so it really can't be over 6" and has to have the 12V DC plug port.
I think something like this would work since it has a 12v dc output port and would charge the mighty. I don't know that other USB battery packs output the 12v that the Mighty requires to charge.
The dimensions look like its slighty smaller than the Mighty itself.
https://www.amazon.com/XTPower-MP-10000-External-10000mAh-included/dp/B00935L44E/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510634288&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=battery+pack+with+dc
What external battery do you have? You need one that's capable of 12v output. USB 3.0 standard is 5.0v I believe, so any external battery capable of 12v output will probably use a barrel-type plug for power output, like this battery: http://www.amazon.com/XTPower-MP-10000-External-10000mAh-included/dp/B00935L44E/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1462827268&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=12v+external+battery
So you'd need a SP4 to barrel connector cable + a 12v output external battery. Or an S3 that charges using conventional usb standard connectors
This and a dummy battery. Works great so far and I had them because they worked for the pocket too.
Hello Devlin,
There are many options for batteries to use with lighthouse.
&nbsp;
Smaller battery Options:
Amazon: Anker 2nd Gen Astro Pro2 20000mAh
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B005NGLTZQ
-OR-
Amazon: XTPower® MP-23000 Power Bank
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00935L44E
These two battery options have everything you need to plug right into the lighthouse basestations in the box. And should last about 6 ish hours. They no longer sell the exact unit that we have which is the "XTPower MP-10000" which was the cheapest option.
&nbsp;
Large Battery Options:
1: V Lock Battery:
https://www.globalmediapro.com/dp/A00TS6/Globalmediapro-Li160S-Lithium-ion-Battery-160WH/
-OR-
2: Anton Bauer Battery:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/700043-REG/Anton_Bauer_DIONIC_HCX_Dionic_HCX_Li_ion_Battery_120WH_14_4V.html
And you will also need:
http://www.bhphotovideo.com/c/product/1041878-REG/litepanels_8375_0176_anton_bauer_qrc_lg_gold.html/prm/alsVwDtl
These are the two larger batteries we use for lighthouses when we need them mobile. The V-Lock batteries are the best because they normally have D-Tap connections built into them. However I have not found a nice battery mount that attaches to a lightstand for V-Lock batteries. But if you buy Anton Bauer batteries you can get a mount that goes directly on a light stand easily with D-tap ports as listed above. However it is the D-Tap connection that we need in the end.
&nbsp;
D-Tap to Lighthouse Cable:
Amazon: D-Tap to Lighthouse Cable:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00D0HPTRO
This is the cable we specifically got because it is the cheapest and is long enough to reach the batteries with the mounts we have on the light stand.
You can create your own custom setup of batteries as long as there is a D-tap connector that comes off the battery/batteries. I can post links to another idea/cheaper idea for a D-tap solution.
Sorry, late for the party...
I will soon be getting the BMPCC 4K and thought I'd ask about my current power solution for my Canons. I've been using the following combo for the past 4 years and have had zero problems. The unit has a switchable output of 12v and with the dummy battery it works great...at least for Canon bodies. Anyone see any reason it shouldn't work for the BMPCC 4K?
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00935L44E/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s01?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IU8OZK0/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
While it sounds like you have the batter already, there are batteries with 9-12v along with 5v.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00935L44E/ref=oh_aui_search_detailpage?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I have used that to power a PI2 and a 5inch 9v screen.
I got you Fam
Selectable 9v/12v. Remember to flip polarity though (using one of the Voodoo Lab cables with the white end or similar)
Guess you could even use the USB 5v outputs for board-mounted LEDs ?
I wondered why I hadn't seen an external pack like people use for their smartphones, so I googled. Turns out someone has found a way to use a specific external Lithium Ion pack with a "dummy" battery on a cord. Here you go:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00IU8OZK0
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00935L44E/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B006IPL8FC/
Should give you significant uptime compared to a grip. Here's the video I found it from:
https://youtu.be/4OXD3ENA_UA
I've had good experiences with these off-the-shelf packs:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00935L44E/
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00XMM4ZZE/
This one isn't regulated but works fairly well with some loss of sync range as the battery depletes:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016BJCRUO/
Many similar ones are suitable. Better to use regulated ones than simple "12V" battery packs, which are typically 12.3-12.6 V fully charged and drop off as the batteries discharge. The slightly higher voltage is fine, as is the drop towards 9 Volt, but their management ICs will normally cut off the load before the cells might be damaged by excessive discharge. The low voltage cut-out in the base will turn off the base station before it might get confused by too low a voltage if the battery pack is unprotected - such as with primary cell holders.
You don't have to go that expensive Plus based on his budget I don't think op needs to. You can get away with using this guy https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00935L44E/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I'm not sure what kind of cable you'd need, but you want a portable battery pack of 9V@2A (or more). This one seems to be appropriate. https://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00935L44E/
There's also a car charger accessory from Firefly, if that's useful to you.
The FF2 can charge via USB, so any battery pack will work, just get a silicone wristband to hold the unit in the cradle. It performs significantly better than the FF as well.
I have the same jacket and I'm trying to find a solution to replace the batteries.
Do you think this type of usb power bank will work?
It can be regulated to 9v and 12v
In addition to the above, not all wireless chargers are created equal. Cheap ones may not work with all phones or may require very precise positioning of the phone (which kills the convenience factor compared to wire). The one that is really good but expensive is TYLT. There is also a cheaper alternative which is supposedly a Chinese copy of Tylt.
I have a Tylt that I am very happy with. I heard that Itian A6 works fine, but I don't have personal experience with it.
I got this charger back in April and it has been working wonderfully . No problems.
https://smile.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Phone-Charging-Pad/dp/B00DG8NUC8/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1510738166&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=tylt+wireless+charger
I have one for my desk at work and one at home...
I did some research on wireless chargers for my N7 earlier today, and found that the Tylt Vu charges at an equivalent rate to a 1.0A normal (5V) charger, though it does so via 12v output at .75 amp. Based on its charge speed and other features, I decided to purchase it this morning -- despite a couple of small flaws.
Drawbacks are:
Overall, I like the design and reviews claim that it charges as fast as a wired charger. What put it over the top for me was hearing that Leo Laporte uses this as his N7 charger, and he appears to be very happy with it.
Keep in mind that I only just ordered mine today from Amazon, so the above information is just info I gathered through research earlier this morning.
I've been using this: http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Charger-Galaxy-Nexus-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
I have one of these and love it! I can put my phone, or watch, on it in any orientation and it still charges. The only problem is that the watch has to sit a little higher than just on the bottom in order to charge.
http://smile.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1410562215&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=tylt
ahh my bad, I didn't even realize that there was a link :P Also, I guess it could depend on the charger. Mines a Tylt Vu
I've had very good luck with the Tylt Vu:

One more thing, Qi chargers are pretty picky about placement. This charger has multiple coils so you can just slap your phone anywhere on it and it should work. I haven't bought one yet because I heard the placement thing was annoying, but I just saw this one last week and was thinking of giving it a try.
These aren't docks, but they function like them:
http://www.amazon.com/TYLT-Wireless-Charger-all-Phones/dp/B00DG8NUC8
http://www.amazon.com/Vivis-trade-Knight-V3-Smartphones/dp/B00LJCI53M
This is a pretty solid charger. Some users report a little heat but I've never noticed anything I wouldn't already get from a regular plug-in charger.
This one is popular but expensive. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00DG8NUC8/ref=mp_s_a_1_34?qid=1416407708&amp;sr=8-34&amp;pi=AC_SX110_SY165_QL70
I'm using this one cause it was cheap enough and I prefer the slight angle. http://www.amazon.com/gp/aw/d/B00KMJ5QFS/ref=mp_s_a_1_1?qid=1416407902&amp;sr=8-1&amp;pi=AC_SY200_QL40
Here is a link for the amazon reviews. Seems like there are reports of it, but most people are not having any issues. Plenty of people on this sub recommend it.
I'm very tempted to pull the trigger on this but I might wait until the version 1.2 chargers are out.
No problem. Thanks for Gold :)
Also another charger I really like is this one: http://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DG8NUC8?keywords=tylt%20charger&amp;qid=1451921490&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1
I one of those on my desk in my office and it works great as well. It's a little big since it will hold the nexus 6 but I have never had a single connection problem with it no matter what case I've had on it.
perhaps this?

Borrow Lenses is a great company.
I rented a 50mm f1.2L for and a 24-105L a while back for an event, great customer service.
However, make sure you don't get garbage speed SD cards and make sure you rent more than enough. Double what you think you will use.
Use a calculator on the internet to calculate how many hours you want to record and then double that.
A battery Bac-Pac or two is pretty much required, get however many you can afford.
Get one of these to charge them and you're set.
Ahem. I'm sure there's a more rugged model available for outdoor usage though.
Incase you're not super familiar with battery terminology - AA batteries have between 2000 and 3000 mAH's. Depends on what type of battery and what application it's used in. Your typical Alkaline or Lithium batteries run about 3 am hours (1000 milliamps = 1 amp), however Alkalines have a high internal resistance so if you try to use any high power uses, like a digital camera, the resistance converts a lot of the potential energy into heat, effectively wasting it. Using alkalines in a digital camera you can expect to get maybe 200 mah's out of it, if you're lucky.
Rechargeable nicad's will run about 2 amp hours. So 4, AA's will net you about 8000 mah's. My smart phone will last a good 12 hours of e-reading on a single charge and it's battery holds about 1.5 amp hours.
If I were to use that charger, I would want a USB AA charger to go with it to power my headlamp too and/or any other devices I might want.
The charger I linked has an internal battery pack that holds 7.2 amp hours, so that alone would run my smart phone for about 60 straight hours on a single charge.
The current generation of rechargeable batteries (eneloops), can be reused around 2000 times as well, with a low self discharge. Guaranteed to hold 70% of their charge after a year, 50-60% after 3 years iirc.
A dedicated e-reader will be a lot more efficient at battery usage though. This one can last up to 2 months on a single charge. It's just a simple black and white reader though.
A gopro is a good choice since they are very durable and waterproof if kept in the plastic shell
Option 1: Bring a bunch of batteries (annoying and probably expensive)
Option 2: Gopros charge over USB, bring a small solar panel USB charger to keep it topped off, something like this one looks decent and the internal battery alone would charge a gopro many times over even without the solar panel
Or if you want a really beefy panel that can keep the gopro plus a few phones charged have a look at this one

Is there a way I can test if it is charging? The indicators blink but there hasn't been a change in the battery test (25%/light)
Possibly grab one of these?

Get one or two of these and be sure to charge it in advance, leave it in the sun, and leave your phones in APM when you know you're not going to be using data. You'll make it through the whole fest no prob.
What are you going to do if you go camping in the woods, or get stuck on a mountian, or if there's a weeklong blackout at your destination. You buy one of these http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DLUYSPO/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1 and never worry about finding an outlet again.
Here's what I'm bringing. The solar panel seems to work fairly well.

This one can charge my s4 about 2 to 3 times before a recharge is needed! plus its on sale right now for $20
Check this one out.
Found this on Amazon.com. Fairly cheap and does the job; negative customer reviews have complained about battery life, but if you read the top review it clearly states that it should be fully charged before any use. Also stated in the directions that came with the device.
This USB solar charger is currently on sale for $30 on Amazon.
Should get you through the weekend, no problems.
thank you so much ..............aaaaaaaaam if you are intressted in wii u and it's games :https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8X48jQ_Nq84 and http://cemu.info/ if you want to emulate it you can use this
and if you want the best experience use this controller http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Telescopic-Controller-IP117/dp/B00MUG3JPU/ref=pd_sim_107_5?ie=UTF8&amp;dpID=41lYRZGQlML&amp;dpSrc=sims&amp;preST=_AC_UL160_SR160%2C160_&amp;refRID=154JFNXHZ3ZRG671BN4W
and set you phone as a second monitor there some apps that do that and the emulator will recognize it as the gamepad touch screen ( use some cheap stylus ) yet again if you like wii u games mario maker and pikmin bayoneta 2 moster hunter zombi u are pretty ok
enjoy !
sadly this wont work for all bluetooth controllers, it worked fine with my xbox 360 controller but then i got the idea to use my Ipega extending controller and after a little modification my 3ds fit since its made to hold a tablet, but the input client just detected as i was pressing left on the joystick, and i couldnt remap the stick to fix it, it really hated that controller. but it looked bad ass and i wish it did work.
Welcome back!
Here's my list of suggestions, why, and links to where to get them. A few are only available on computer, but you'll see which ones:
As for if you should give 1 or 2 gifts, I think 2 might be a lot of fun! But it might depend on what the "1st place" person has on their list and what you want to give them! I'd say make the decision based off of what you want to give the main winner! =)
===========
EDIT - 3DS Games to consider:
edit 2: P.S: I'm new. I'll be making an intro post hopefully tonight! So hopefully it's alright that I posted here first. I was just excited, as I'm a gamer and love helping people with what to play next. In any event... HI!!
edit 3: I just made my [INTRO] post. It's here if you/anyone's interested.
Ipega telescopic or one of the Moga Powers. Hero Power would be kind of uncomfortable with the big phone (unbalanced, should use a 5" or smaller phone with it), but the Pro Power can be expensive.
Meanwhile, here's a telescopic BT controller for thirty bucks that will probably perform about the same.
Is there a Samsung or ASUS tablet that is comparable or better than the NVIDIA Shield for emulation? I'm specifically talking about N64, PS2, and PSP emulation as I'm pretty sure just about anything can handle NES, SNES, GameBoy, and Sega. But I'd also like to have a nice tablet that I can use as, you know, a tablet.
I'm going to use this gamepad HERE
Actually yes I have plugged a KB+M into my phone, usually I use an xbox 360 controller though with this
http://www.shapeways.com/product/GHA4J4BVJ/xbox-360-controller-motorola-nexus-6?optionId=42933531
and I also have one of these on the way
http://www.amazon.com/Wireless-Bluetooth-Telescopic-Controller-IP117/dp/B00MUG3JPU/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1425668994&amp;sr=8-1&amp;keywords=ipega+pg-9023
Yea the graphics are mostly the same for these games, some of them are indistinguishable like Five Nights at Freddy's or The Room, maybe Vice City too. The source code is not an exact match no, but neither is it the same for Linux/Windows/Mac, although a lot of these games use Unity and other engines like that so the development of the different versions would have barely any differences. Keep in mind most of the newer engines work on Android, like UE3 and 4, Unity, even Crytek with Crysis 3 being ported to Android. Some of the games on Steam were actually mobile first anyways.
Get one of these (check first if it fits) and enjoy whatever game that supports Xbox 360-style controllers. I have something similar for my HTC One and I play whatever I can stream from my PC (and also emulators) using Limelight/Kinoconsole (Limelight is based on same protocol as Nvidia Gamestream, Kinoconsole is the best indie app that does the same).
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00MUG3JPU?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00 This fits both my Nexus 6 and 7 horizontally, it should fit a 8-10 inch tablet either horizontally or vertically. The right stick on mine isn't 100% perfect, but it doesn't bother me, though I don't know if it's a specific issue for me, or a poor quality issue.
No i mean the 9023 it's just a bluetooth controller it isn't tablet specific. The 6p is huge so it's perfect for it. I used one for a bit and it works well. takes some getting used to having your hands further apart though. It just solves the button issue. I already owned a moga pro so I dont feel the need to buy a new controller but if i didn't own the moga i'd buy this one.
iPega Wireless Bluetooth Telescopic Game Controller Joystick maybe more appropriate !

I wouldn’t dare edc my Apple Watch without some form of protection, main reason is because I accidentally hit my previous edc watch on the corner of my marble countertop and I’ve been paranoid ever since. You’re wild for running a spartan race without protection LOL.
And the reason I carried fmj its difficult for me to acquire special ammo like hp so I figured it’s better than nothing, but luckily I recently found a seller of 45 hp so I’ve taken the liberty of loading my mags with those.
agreed, had a gshock aviator before. I use it caseless with a zagg shield on the screen i had them put on in the local mall. looks like new, i swap the silicone bands often tho. Seems to hold up well. i'd probably recommend something like the case my friend has below, if your in a foot pursuit prone area or generally rough area.
My buddy works in another dept and has this rugged armor case on it: http://www.amazon.com/Apple-Watch-Spigen-Rugged-Resilient/dp/B00UVSNQPM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1465247925&amp;sr=8-3&amp;keywords=apple+watch+case

This is the case. I don't remember where I got the band though. Sorry
Apple Watch Case, Spigen [Rugged Armor] Resilient [Black] - [Include 2 Screen Protectors] Ultimate protection from drops and impacts for Apple Watch 42mm (2015) - Black (SGP11496) https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00UVSNQPM/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_OrxIxb6ZM0V4Y
Yeah, this one. Series 1 and 2 are same form factor, so there is no variance in case size/ shape between watch series. You have to use the screen protector that comes with it, though. Any other screen protector that wraps the edges will not work with the case. Just a heads up ;)
I've worn G-Shocks most of my life. I iust love how bulky they are. I highly recommend Spigen! The case is sold separately from the band but I have piece of mind when wearing it. My only real complaint about it is that the band requires a bit of dexterity to securely fasten. Nothing a little practice won't fix.

My friends is an airplane mechanic and uses an Apple Watch with a protective case. He's banged it up quite a bit and hasn't had any issues.
I'm pretty sure he has this one:

I just got this one in the mail yesterday, like it so far!

I use this case and this band on my S0 when I'm doing more active things currently. Most other times I just have it naked. I'll use the same on my S3 if it ever finally comes (thanks a lot Best Buy).
Thanks all for your inputs. I ended up ordering [https://www.amazon.de/gp/product/B00UVSNQPM/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1]
I order these protectors (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07MS1CJBM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o05_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1) and this case (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00UVSNQPM/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1)
Haven't tried that particular one, but I have the Spigen Rugged Armor and really like it.

The general attitude towards cases on this sub is generally no, but given certain environments I can see why it's a good idea.
Unless you're going swimming (full watch submersion for long periods of time), you probably won't need the catalyst case for the Apple Watch.
For rough physical environments, I recommend using something like this Spigen case. You'll save a great deal of cash compared to the catalyst but also have adequate impact protection.
Ah, I didn't realize the dock worked like that. It is expensive for what it does, though, I agree. I just connect my puck charger to $8 Spigen plastic dock. Even it wasn't so expensive it's still too big for what I'd like to do. I wonder if the magnetic puck is licensed by Apple in the same way that the lightning port is?
If you can incorporate this for your watch out will look more streamline . Spigen S350 Apple Watch Stand With Night Stand Mode for Apple Watch Series 3 / Series 2 / Series 1 / 42mm / 38mm, Patent Registered - Black https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0109I9W24?ref=yo_pop_ma_swf
Ah ok. Not bad for 8$. The one I got is small and unobtrusive. Stays put w the sticky pad on the bottom but it's not stuck w adhesive so it can be moved easily.

https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0109I9W24?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
10$ and no issue at all. No problems with any bands. Nice because I can use nightstand feature and tap the table to see the time.
Yeah, I just ordered this watch stand. It's an Apple Watch stand but it looks like it will fit. If you remind me on Wednesday I'll tell you if it works or not.
Edit: That's gonna be a no on the watch stand. The charger fits but the watch doesn't sit right for it to work.
Charge your Watch every night, treat it well, and it'll treat you well. :)
A cheap little nightstand dock is a good purchase, makes it a regular place to charge the device overnight and keep your charging puck stationary. This is the one I have, but you can find others that work just as well, and its from the Spigen offical eBay store: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Spigen-Apple-Watch-Stand-S350-Compatible-Apple-Watch-Night-Stand-Mode-/252020890753?hash=item3aad9d9c81
I also picked up a spare charger for travel purposes, so I can leave the other attached to my dock. They're not cheap, but having a spare is worth it in my opinion!
Edit: You can also get this stand on Amazon for slightly cheaper, looks like: http://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Charging-Premium-Compatible-Nightstand/dp/B0109I9W24
There are definitely less expensive, yet still very functional watch stands on Amazon. I was using this Spigen one and had no complaints at all (https://www.amazon.com/Spigen-Apple-Watch-Stand-Night/dp/B0109I9W24/ref=pd_lpo_vtph_107_bs_lp_t_2?_encoding=UTF8&amp;psc=1&amp;refRID=E0GQMM062GEM532MJY2N)
That stinks man. I’ve put mine on my desk charger when I get out of the shower which keeps it on it’s side. Maybe that’s helped mine from getting messed up from my carelessness
Here it is if your interested:
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0109I9W24/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_I3nSDbEM0E9Y5
A charging stand. Even just the most basic ones like this or this. Obviously it's not a big deal to stick on the charger normally, but when you have to do it every day/every couple of days its worth streamlining and a stand will make it practically effortless to just drop it on the charger.
Alternatively also worth considering a combined watch + phone dock, if that appeals to you - when I got my stand I didn't want one of those because they almost all hold the watch vertically which would negate nightstand mode. Now as of watchOS 4.3 there's a vertical orientation nightstand mode, so a stand like that is more viable.
Been really happy with this Black Stainless Steel Link Bracelet I got on Amazon, it's my new default. Only downside is that the Spigen dock I bought to use with my older lighter band is mildly incompatible -- the weight of the band causes the watch to rotate down off the charging surface (I have to prop it up to keep it horizontal).
I grabbed one of these the other day and I really like it. It's very very simple (and very inexpensive) but it does make connecting and disconnecting the charger really easy.

This thing is perfect. It stays in just the right place to not block buttons too much and who wants their phone in front of a vent? Was recommended to me here when I asked the same question.
While it's not a dock, I use this for my car and it works great. The magnetic plate (it comes with 2) holds it on there real solid.

> i've seen some cd-tray mounts that might be good (i pretty much always stream from my phone via BT anyways). Anyone have any experience with those?
Yes, I just started using one. People recommended the "iOttie", but I found one that is magnetic and includes little metal plates that you can stick to your phone or case. I put mine on the inside of my case, and it works fine:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B016GNYZIC/
Easier to just "throw" it on the mount, than to use some clamping cradle, and certainly much cleaner looking while not in use...
Honestly not worth having to worry about the port breaking your phone incase someone mistakenly jerks it or pushes on it.
I got this for my 2017 and is much better than the TechMatte one as the screw for it would block the screen a bit.
Currently if I have the phone mounted it still blocks the view but I can remove it for complete visibility.
Did you just bought the 2018?
For my phone holder, I use this: https://www.amazon.com/Koomus-Pro-CD-Cradle-less-Smartphone/dp/B016GNYZIC/ref=sr_1_14?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1493212591&amp;sr=1-14&amp;keywords=magnetic+phone+car+mount
Cause who uses CD's anymore? I also put the plate inside of my Otter Box phone case, at the bottom of my phone. I have an iphone 7 plus. When its at the bottom of the phone, you have full view of the infotainment screen, and your phone is very handy.

I have a magnet mount on my CD player. Just slap the phone on it, looks like a gps from outside of the car, best 20 bucks I ever spent.
http://imgur.com/wur4GWm
I'm using the Koomus metal plate that came with the car mount:
https://www.amazon.com/Koomus-Pro-CD-Cradle-less-Smartphone/dp/B016GNYZIC
What you see is black duct tape over the plate on the interior of a Spigen Neo-Hybrid case, because I don't want it to possibly scuff up my phone :)
I have this guy and so far I love it!
I should mention I don't think I have ever used the CD player in my car.
I use a mount that fits into the cd player: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016GNYZIC It looks like this might work for you in the Elantra.
Koomus CD mount works great.

depending on your air vent this one is ok, go for the one that goes in a CD slot - this is a million times better than the air vent one
I use this on my r56s and love it

I've liked the vent mounts but the positioning of the vents in the MINI make it difficult to read the screen on either the right or left of the wheel.
I just picked up a CD mount that's magnetic and I am loving it so far. It makes reaching the right most radio buttons a little tough but doesn't completely block them. All in all it was inexpensive so even if I didn't like it I didn't mind giving it away.
This is the one I went with
Been using this one and it works great and you don't have to deal with clamps.

I have one that sits in the CD slot. I don't even own a CD anymore so no problem. It's magnetic so the phone slaps on and off quickly. I love it.

I ordered the Spigen Rugged Armor. Seems to be a favorite, after they fixed all their sensor-blocking issues.
If that one is too bulky or grippy (like collecting all dust from my pocket, not coming out of pocket easily, etc), I'll probably look at the Spigen Exact Fit.
We just had a similar discussion in this thread.
My recommendation would be the Nilkin case that you can pick up for ~$5 from eBay. It's extremely thin, fits great, and provides ample protection (even from drops).
I purchased the Spigen Thin Fit case from Amazon but didn't like it at all. Gave it a 2.5/5 in the thread I linked in my first sentence.
that's a nice decision keeping both phones. i am going to purchase one too next month
about the case
i like this one http://www.amazon.com/Nexus-Spigen%C2%AE-Exact-Fit-Premium-Finish/dp/B01761J26I/ref=sr_1_2?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1451857356&amp;sr=8-2&amp;keywords=6p+cases
but it's not leather. i can't find a good leather case.
I saw someone say the same thing on Amazon. It's $12 there right now.

I use this one:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01761J26I?psc=1&amp;redirect=true&amp;ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00
so far so good. Hardly any bulk. I typically use my phone without a case, but i got so used to the soft touch nexus 5 back and this feels just like it.
Spigen thin case because the texture provides a grip on my $400 phone.
I have had the black one for many months and love it. It is starting to crack just a bit and I think I will order a fresh one soon. Go for it!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016CBFBVI is the one I love. I ordered 4 different cases. and the two spigen ones are my favorite. The other spigen one is a hard plastic one here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01761J26I
You should, it's a great phone and I'm planning to keep it until the successor to the initial Pixel phones. Camera is great all around, HDR makes low light scenes great. The display is AMAZING, I use the multi-window option to do two tasks at once since the display is big enough. Updates will still be flowing in a couple more years and maybe a few more for security updates.
If you also decide to get a case without adding too much extra surface area, this Spigen thin-fit case IS AMAZING! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01761J26I/
Replacing a Galaxy S5 on AT&T that is plenty fast for everything I do. It just won't charge. Considering the following...
What say you?

BLU Life One X (2016)
http://www.amazon.com/BLU-Life-Unlocked-Smartphone-Black/dp/B0189RMNTG
Go buy a BLU Life One X:
http://smile.amazon.com/BLU-Life-One-Smartphone-Unlocked/dp/B0189RMNTG?sa-no-redirect=1
I got fed up with paying for a $500+ dollar phone. I need a good screen size. Surf the web. Play music. Good camera. I ended up buying a BLU Life One X for $150. Android. Some complaints but very happy considering price.
Just got one of these BLU life one x
Been pretty good so far
Staples had probably the biggest selection locally
Could you help me out with some links? I can't seem to find anything that is for the most recent Blu Life One X. Here's a link to the phone I'm talking about: Amazon Link
I guess there has been a Life One X Quad Core model and a Studio X that I can find cases for.
Thanks!
I'm really curious if this continues to work for you, I'm going through the same thing.
I put tape on the back of the daughterboard connector and that seemed to fix it for a few days, but it's gradually get worse again now. I'll probably try your fix soon, but I'm not very hopeful.
As a side note, I ordered a Blu Life One X to replace it since I doubt any fix I do is going to be permanent. It's $100 if you get it today (goes up to $150 tomorrow) and is pretty similar to the N5 in specs/etc. It's not a nexus device of course, but since the N5 isn't getting any more major updates this won't be much different in that department either.
You might be interested in the Blu Life One X. This website will help you make sure that the phone you choose will fully work with a given carrier (so your not having to check what bands they support).
If 5.2" is acceptable it's easy, Blue Life One X 2016.
I'm not sure if it's available were you are, but as I said in another comment on this thread, the BLU Life One X kinda stomps the Moto G.
I'm probably going to buy it soon to replace my first gen Moto G. It's better than the current Moto G in almost every way and it's cheaper, too.
I can see that you don't like expensive phones, otherwise I would've recommended the Galaxy S7. I also uncommonly recommend to others any phone that is not made by a large manufacturer because I feel as they are the best. But, a brand named BLU has caught my eye recmently and I really like what I've seen of their phones.
Two that I'd recommend for you is the Life One X($150) or the Advance 5.0($60). I am unaware if a Advance 6.0 is coming soon, because I'm not as much of a phone geek as I used to be.
I'd check out the BLU One Life X, only $150 so it's below your budget, it comes with a flipcase and a screen protector. It has 2GB ram unlike some other lower end phones, and 1080p 5.2" screen for great one handed use, also band 12 support and Ive been getting great battery life, but no removable battery.
Other wise I'd keep an eye open for used LG G4 if you want to spend more but get something more powerful, hopefully the price will drop now that the LG G5 is coming out.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0189RMNTG?keywords=BLU%20one%20life%20X&amp;qid=1457198980&amp;ref_=sr_1_1&amp;sr=8-1
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0189RMNTG/ref=s9_al_bw_g107_i3
It's $150, but it's one hell of a budget phone. If you search for reviews, it's being very well received.
At $200, you can't beat the Honor X from Huawei.
Honestly, I would wait if you can. I bet at CES (early JAN) there will be some newer stuff announced by these two companies. Also, if you do need a phone the BLU Life ONE X is a great deal at 149 at amazon (http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0189RMNTG/ref=nav_timeline_asin?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1

I would have made use of this battery.
Use only portable electronics when absolutely necessary.
You can charge it with this USB power bank that came out in May:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Recharges/dp/B0196GQAKM
This might be more in your range. I caught it for $180 on sale. Normal price is ~$220. It can run my laptop for a total of 20-25 hours. Granted, my laptop draws 9W from its internal battery under max load. I purchased it specifically for its low power consumption. If your laptop is running anything serious, you'd be looking at quite a bit less on-time.
When I first got it, I used it Saturday through Wednesday after work as my laptop's only power source until it died, running off my laptop's AC adapter. I'd probably get more out of it with a DC-DC car charger instead.
There's also this guy for $170, but it's half the capacity of the Suaoki.
You might also want to consider other things, like portable phone power banks. Ravpower's 34WH banks are $15 on sale and $20 full price. If you picked up 2-3 of those, a cheap usb powered tablet, and some usb string lights, you'd still come out under $150 if you picked up the tablet used from eBay.
And for $500, there's also the 400WH Anker PowerHouse.
Something like this?
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Powerhouse-120000mAh-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM
Get this instead. haha https://smile.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM?sa-no-redirect=1
I suggest the Anker Powerhouse. It should suit all your needs because its made for outdoor camping or as an emergency portable power bank.
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-120000mAh-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM
Not much different from https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM though, and it's actually smaller for a higher price.
That can easily be solved with duct tape and a 120000 mah battery.
The gopro becomes slightly more unwieldy if you wanted to carry it in your bike helmet.
Well I hate to burst your bubble but I live in the most expensive neighborhood in the city limits (Old West Austin - 78703) and we haven't had power for about 27 hours as well. God bless Anker
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM
This may do the trick......... :D
50Ah is old hat nowadays. Even Anker themselves sells a 120Ah powerbank these days, and that's on the low end of the scale.
Probably the easiest way to quickly get going is to get something like this: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-PowerHouse-Generator-Alternative-Rechargeable/dp/B0196GQAKM
I know it costs a lot.. but if you can get paid 50usd/second for the timelapses, it is probably easiest way ! Probably runs a D700 for at least a week. This is of course if you cannot get an extension cord there. With an extension cord or even the Anker PowerHouse, you could use something like this too: http://www.ebay.com/itm/AC-power-adapter-f-Nikon-D90-D300-D700-D3000-D5000-as-EH-5-EH-5A-EP-5-coupler-/180952806542
Not cheap but should meet your needs. Option 1 Option 2
Enjoy
not sure what the recharge rate is but i would imagine unless your directly tethering to the terminals then you would be limited to the fuse amperage, typically like 15 amps on a cigarette plug i think?
back on the main topic, maybe something in this article might help? https://teslatap.com/articles/12-volt-battery-compendium/ they dont mention exact rates that i saw but it says "
>The Gen 2 DC-DC converter in the refreshed Model S accepts 220 to 430 VDC at 15 amps, and outputs 9 to 16 VDC. When outputting 12 VDC, it can deliver about 200 amps.
>
>The Model 3 integrates the charger and the DC-DC converter into a single package, the PCS (Power Conversion System)

IMHO i would just invest in one of those Portable power stations from the likes of Jackery, Anker or Goal Zero especially seeing as how the replacement battery is going for about $500 on Amazon.
God only knows what your problem is. Get yourself one of these and two of these and you're sorted
I'm sure you could trust one made by anker. I used their micro usb cable for over a year, jamming it into bags and bending it everywhere. Still works beautifully. Unfortunately their usb-c premium cable only comes in one color (red) and length (3 feet). I'm holding out for a 6 ft black version to roll out sometime.
amazon link if you're interested.
Give this cable a try. I had a ton of disconnecting issues with a ton of different cables. This one finally fixed the issue

Sound like your cable has developed a fault, a lose wire inside perhaps. Try another cable that is capable of fast charging to see.

I'm using this USB plug and this cable to charge my Switch when I'm not at home.
If there's no power outlet where I'm going, I use this powerbank, which is a bit older and isn't sold anymore, but works nicely. Doesn't charge very fast, but if the Switch is on Standby, it's alright, considering that powerbank was very inexpensive.
That is quite odd. I haven't used the included A-C in my car as I decided to leave that at home for when I need to plug my phone into my computer. But I bought this Anker cable and it works great in my Civic. My only complaint is that the C end of the cable is quite snug to the port. This is good because the cable won't pop out on its own but it takes a little extra force to plug it in and unplug it.
Nope, you got a dodgy cable. I had this problem so I got a new cable and it fixed
Anker PowerLine+ USB-C to USB 3.0... https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B01GN0M6NE?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
This one works great for me
This will work, right?
I overlooked this tiny detail too, not all cables were created equally. Here's a link to the one I bought that was correctly spec'd as USB3 type C. Soon as I opened it I found how much thicker it was so more power delivery.

Seriously. The cables I had kept disconnecting. No idea why. People kept suggesting these cables so I tried it out and it worked like a charm. Again, no idea why, but it works.
What about this cord?
When was this "Benson" thing confirmed by Nintendo or tech specialists?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B01GN0M6NE
Works fine. Good quality and comes with a wallet case.
this is the one i got
Yeah I agree, the wood cases look cool, but I don't think they will do much to protect the phone. This case also does put a lip around the screen like the otterbox cases which should help a lot too - but i love this phone so much i'll do everything i can to not drop it, the case is just there for daily protection from scuffs and etc lol - i also love how the buttons are covered so they don't get liquid in them and stuff (nexus 4 got a tiny drop of water under the button and the volume rocker started working very randomly)
Yea I've tried these as well and the same issue persists. Upon reflection maybe my case is causing it to be nudged in some way. It's this one https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01H3PEWDK/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_lShHAb3SENHE6

Can't find any reviews for it.
Sadly Spigen haven't made anything for the OP3 yet. Edit Apart from this
I thought the same, but a quick search of the product number brought me here, which kinda makes me a believer.

edit: nvm, this looks fake too (see edges on the back left)
and idk why I'm digging the web for a case smh.
Yeah I agree, I don't like the issue with the camera bump either on the Flexicase. But another case that has caught my eye was the Spigen case thats available for purchase soon, it's not a clear case like the Flexicase or anything but it looks clean and looks promising. Check it out and tell me what you think!

Was mainly asking for apps cause I see alot of people on this board talking about different updates and such but have no clue as to what they are; any kind that enhance the phone really.
Is this the case you were referring too - https://www.amazon.co.uk/OnePlus-Impressionante-Meccanica-Durevole-Protezione/dp/B01H3PEWDK? Looks simple design which is nice.
Ill look into a TGSP at a later date then, definitely dont want the rainbow effect really.
I did compare the size of my IPhone to a OP3T in a store and it was ridiculous, I find the IPhone screen way to small now making it hard to text.

Here's a good one: https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/
You can only charge via USB so fast unless your device supports one of the technologies that negotiates faster charging. If your battery doesn't have that, then it can only charge so fast.
thanks for the reply bro. how is this one compared to the one you linked?
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=sr_1_5?keywords=anker+fast+charger&amp;qid=1565751557&amp;s=gateway&amp;sr=8-5
So if I were to get an Anker with 39W with quick charge 3.0 (Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Wall Charger, PowerPort Speed 2 for Galaxy S7/ S6/ Edge/ Plus, Note 5/ 4 and PowerIQ for iPhone X / 8/ 7/ 6s/ Plus, iPad Pro/ Air 2/ mini, LG, Nexus, HTC and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_weLfAbGAW8G9E) would it work?
Also I won't be playing there most likely. It's mainly for the plane ride.
I recently bought this along with a couple of these and they seem to work fine at the moment even though it does not charge rapidly.
I am curious about the fact the that brick is Quick-Charge and not Power Delivery and how that could play out later on, but time will tell.
hey /u/psychojunglecat3 , /u/vv0rm , and /u/kananjarrus
i got a response from anker...
First of all, let me thank you for your great support to Anker products. To your requirement, we would recommend below wall charger model for you, and you could use the blue QC port to recharge our PowerCore II 10000, and you will still have other 3 Power IQ port to charge your other devices:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01N2HIR9R/ref=sr_1_11?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495091165&amp;sr=1-11&amp;keywords=Anker+wall+charger
If two output ports are enough for your needs, you may also consider below model:
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=sr_1_2?s=wireless&amp;ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1495091165&amp;sr=1-2-spons&amp;keywords=Anker+wall+charger&amp;psc=1
Hope this helps and let me know if you have any further concerns. Thank you!*
I get that. But there are other anker adapters that use USB-A, such as this one that's 39W. Why not just use that and save yourself the price of the cable?
Do you know if this wall adapter would work if I plugged the USB charging cord into it and connected it to the charger that you recommended? I think it would, but I'd like to double check.

Anker Qualcomm Charger
https://www.amazon.com/Anker-Charge-Charger-PowerPort-PowerIQ/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
Thanks for contacting them.
I feel like it's worth noting, to get the quick charge input, you do need to use their QC input adapter. Assuming one would want a two port charger, Amazon has the QC 3.0 two port listed at 4.6 oz.
The older 10k (6.2oz) will charge a bit faster, in my experience, with my 2.4ax2 port (3oz) at around 6 hours. That is about the same listed on the newer 10k's amazon page of 5hr 40m with a 2a charger.
Assuming that the 4.6oz is accurate, there is a 2.6oz difference total for a savings of 2 hours if the 4hr charge time holds true as well. Still significant time savings but at a price.
This is the one i got, purely because it had good reviews and was the biggest I could find:

There are however some other alternatives if you don't like the price or bulkiness of the zerolemon;

And another thing, it's not widely stated but the LG G4 supports quickcharge/fastcharge so it's totally worth every penny to scoop up a quickcharger if you don't have one. I like the company Anker as I've been using them for years.
Anker Quick Charge 3.0 39W Dual USB Wall Charger, PowerPort Speed 2 for Galaxy S7 / S6 / Edge / Plus, Note 5 / 4 and PowerIQ for iPhone 7 / 6s / Plus, iPad Pro / Air 2 / mini, LG, Nexus, HTC and More https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01IUSYF8G/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_LdRwyb94QRH6K
There are some other anker quickchargers as well if you only want 1 USB socket or if you want something like 8. And they vary from quickcharge 1.0 to 3.0 which is pretty much just different charge speeds.
I bought this yesterday during the "cyber monday" deal, it was only $2 cheaper than that one at the time.

Any good charger and cable will do. These are the ones I picked up. I needed the longer cable, but if the one that came with your Nighthawk works for you, no need to change it.
Charger
Cable
I have an iPhone XS regular size.
To charge I have an Anker wireless charging mat that sits on my bedside table. Its connected to an Anker 39 watt brick with 2 usb slots. My watch charger is plugged into the other slot. I'm not sure if the charging mat is capable of fast charging, but it doesn't really matter because I put my phone on the mat at night and when I leave to workout (s3 cellular watch, thing is awesome) so I never really get to a point where I'm hurting for battery.
In the car I use this Kenu wireless charger. I kinda splurged a bit on the car one, but whatever. In the past I would have it sit on my leg and it would sometimes fall off and generally be a pain in the ass, so the fact that it holds it up is great. Benefit of upgrading from a touchid phone to a face id phone with this kind of setup is that you just have to tap the screen and it wakes up and a glance unlocks for any notifications.
I'm doing my best to embrace this wireless future. If I gotta spend a little extra to get there, that's cool with me.

I’ve seen some posts asking about the Spidgen Full Cover Glass tR Slim. I'll try to answer some questions today.
Rating: 9.5/10
Thoughts:
The reason I gave it 9.5 instead of 10 is because of the inside coverage not being 100% accurate (See album). The top and bottom of the screen is perfectly fine and I understand the cutouts needing a little bit of extra space (camera/infrared sensor), but the left and right side of the screen are not completely covered. I heard that the other brands actually cover it a bit too much, while Spidgen's actually is a tiny bit short (preferable, but not ideal).
---
That's it for the glass protector. Here's some bonus pics of some skins:
Slickwrap's Hemp Skin
DBrand's Concrete Skin
Note: I cut out the Hemp sensor area because I had trouble with my Concrete skin before where it would interfere with the laser focus.

I have one for my regular pixel, though only for a few hours now. Sofar it's fantastic.
This is the protector I have: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N63XLQ6/
It covers the full screen, and current one has survived since November. The previous one (same model) lasted only 3 months before it got a crack in it, which I'm not sure how it happened.
(Edit: grammar)
I'm on my 2nd Spigen and it seems to be very prone to scratches. It covers the phone extremely well fitment (sp?) wise but it seems a little on the fragile side. I just ordered the IntelliArmor so I'll see how that one works out. I'm in the united states and picked it up for like 12 bucks. Worth a shot.
I love my Oreo Pixel XL! Slapped this on my white/silver Pixel XL as soon as I got it :)

This is the one I have that has the black edges. There's also a version with white edges. Some people complain about air bubbles in the middle, but I believe they were just applied poorly. I put mine on, waited 20 minutes, and decided to pull it off to adjust it. Fit perfectly with no bubbles.

I had a Spigen tempered glass screen protector on my Pixel XL, and absolutely loved it. It only had adhesive around the edges, but if it was dot matrix, you wouldn't know it. Or maybe it wasn't dot matrix, I don't know, but I couldn't even tell I had a screen protector on.
I have not found anything similar for the 2XL. I have the Amfilm one on now, and it's not bad, but the dot matrix is clearly visible and I think touch sensitivity has suffered a bit. I am disappointed to see that Spigen doesn't have anything for the 2XL. Based on what I've read, it seems the Amfilm is the best TGSP out of all the mediocre options, but I would love a TGSP just like the Spigen one I had. Anyone know if Spigen has plans to make one, or if there's another one that is very similar?
This is what has been on my phone since January. It went on without any issues and I don't even notice that it is there. I'm very happy with it.
I got a Nekteck charger for my T480, and it works great.
When you shop, the primary thing you are looking to match up is the video resolution you plan to connect with for any video monitors. Just about anything works at 1080p, but things start to get hairy with 4k, 5k, etc. (Had a grand adventure trying to get a 'legacy' 30" dual link DVI monitor to connect. USB-C > mini DP, mini DP > dual link DVI dongle daisy chain)
Just about anything I picked up handled USB-A and SD cards.
For my own workflow, one of the things I did was buy something just for power. One USB-C @60W for my i9/32G macbook keeps up at home, and I mostly use the USB-A ports for charging other gadgets - not for data. (https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ for $35) Picked up a few uniquely colored cables so I can see data vs power. I'm a developer, and that silly power supply has been keeping up with fan spinning power draws for almost a year when I'm at home.
Anker (Not Aukey) has had very well-reviewed MBP chargers for a few years now, and they are a reliable brand. Now that there's an actual certification, USB-IF, we can tell if they're safe. I've also been using https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ with my OEM apple cable for about 2 years. Also fast charges my iPad and iPhone.
I got this one https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&amp;sr=1-3&amp;s=wireless&amp;keywords=usb-c%2B61w%2Bwith%2Busb-a as a secondary charger for my 13" MacBook Pro a while back and I also use it with my Matebook X Pro.
I like it because it's full 60w USB-C, but also offers 12w for 3 USB-A ports if you need to plug in a phone or tablet or other device. Wirecutter recommended it and it's been a fantastic travel accessory. I literally got one that I just leave in my carry-on because I travel so much.

https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/

I'll be replacing that cable with the Volta XL, it's then only USB C PD magnetic cable I'd consider using.
https://www.indiegogo.com/projects/volta-xl-the-only-charging-cable-you-ll-ever-need#/
It should, but I haven't gotten another charger yet to test it. There's a charging dock on Amazon I'm thinking of getting so I can charge the laptop and my phone.
Just make sure you look at how many watts the charger is putting out. If you're getting a little guy meant for phones it'll take forever to charge, if it manages to charge at all. This is what I'm considering, but I'm waiting until Black Friday. https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&amp;qid=1542039254&amp;sr=8-7&amp;keywords=usb+c+charger+macbook

This is a pretty good one, with 60W USB-C PD and a couple of USB-A ports, and it comes with a USB-C to USB-C cable as well.
I got this one, works fine, if you get a longer USB C cable make sure it can handle 100W.

I know it's not on your website, but have you had a chance to try the 60W Nekteck 4 port charger? Link It looks like the Monoprice 60W charger is out of stock for awhile and I was looking for something similar!
Doesn't plug directly into the wall, it's a bit too big for that
Has been reviewed by Benson and tech journalists very well and is USB certified
https://www.amazon.com/Certified-Charger-Nekteck-Delivery-Station/dp/B0712252ZQ
Slightly cheaper version of the same thing, comes with a USB-C cable that's USB IF certified for up to 100W (the Pixel 2 XL tops out at 18W, but maybe you've got a laptop or Nintendo Switch). I just replaced like 6 chargers in my house with this, they're great and affordable...

If you only need 1 more USB-A port, and don't mind slower charging for larger laptops...
https://www.monoprice.com/product?p_id=24426
The USB-C is rated at 60W.
This is the charger.

I use this one for my 720S-14IKB and it's worked great so far: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o06_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
Not sure if the 15" model needs more juice, going off other comments here, but this definitely does the trick for me.
Well since I never received a response I went out and bought one. This one works well it charges the laptop with no error messages and it also charges my pixel 2 it is IF usb C certified with PD specs, which was important to me. I ordered some longer cords that have full PD specs. These cords will handle up to 100watts so everything is working smoothly these USB c specs are confusing now I am labeling my cords since I have some lower wattage cords my phone uses. The Dell one is $100 geez incredibly over priced. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B075WQQG7C/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1 Their wall charger also works great. https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
Here's the link I used at Amazon https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/ to buy it. I will be buying a second one for international travel as well as this 60W charger (https://smile.amazon.com/gp/product/B0712252ZQ/) for recharging the things (right now I only have 18W chargers. I'd like to be able to recharge one quickly while at the airport or whatever.
Is that just for the E495? Im picking up a X395 and looking to get a good power bank.

I dont know if wirecutter is still reputable (bought out a while ago), but they reccomend these:

Found a few that are cheaper and should work (even stating support for the X1C).

However, for the T490, in benefit of having USB-C charging port, you could utilize an external battery pack to charge up the laptop on the go.
There are an assortment of battery packs out there with high capacity and high output to be able to charge the T490 multiple times over. As well as if needed, can charge during use. While the battery packs may not be able to create net-positive charging, it will extend the laptop usage time at least twice over. Especially if you arent utilizing the dedicated graphics.
Here is a couple battery banks you could look at:
Here is a video Linus did about a battery pack used on a Razer Stealth Pro while gaming. (You will experience FAR better battery performance in comparison):
In my opinion, I prefer to have a sleek and slim laptop, with the OPTION to have extended battery life with a battery pack. Lenovo did have the neat design to have an internal battery, and a swappable battery slot so you could swap on the fly, but that required that you had to charge each battery IN the laptop seperately for each battery you have. Here, you can charge it outside, and use if for multiple different devices when needed! A win win in my books!
My powerbank still works. Using a qb820 with a Benson approved cable.
I tested it playing on docked mode.
Aim for a USB PD power bank with 45W output (the max iPad Pro can accept).
I have this one by ZMI. Great build quality and comes with some cables.
I am using this, work like a charm
I use a ZMI (brand under Xiaomi) QB820. It's rated for 40W at 20V output.
Amazon
N.B. MSRP in China is 299 CNY, which is quite a bit cheaper than the price on Amazon. Buy it from Taobao if you can.
I have this one from ZMI https://www.amazon.com/ZMI-Pixelbook-Nintendo-External-Powerbank/dp/B072BD98CM/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1537989136&sr=8-3&keywords=ZMI+USB+PD+Backup+Battery It can charge the Pixelbook at the same rate as the charger it comes with which is nice. It gets one full charge from dead from it.
&#x200B;
Some of the Anker and Aukey ones can't charge the Pixelbook if it is dead for some reason. You have to change a setting that pops up on the screen to use them. To me that defeats the purpose of them then so I passed on them. I don't think the Omnicharge one has that problem either but it is like 3x the price of the ZMI one which is why I went with it instead.
I currently use a RAVPower USB C Battery Pack 20100 since it's USB-C and can power my MacBook (bought in 2017). If I were to buy a new one today though, I'd probably look at this ZMI since it's a bit thinner/lighter and the power output is higher.
I use these:
Compact single port
Dual USB C
Smaller Dual USB C (untested)
DO NOT USE (when two are plugged in, limits both to 30w)
Battery pack, USB C (gives warning but still can charge a Dell XPS 13). Can double as a USB HUB when needed:
Hi, this is not that hard to find if you search. The only tough part about your requirement is the Macbook requirement. Even though you didn't mention it, I assume you have a Macbook that charges via USB C? Take a look at https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B072BD98CM/
A Redditor PM'd me a link (Don't wanna call you out - Yell if you want public credit for it) to This Previous thread saying that the ZMI QB820 can power a switch dock. It's currently available on Amazon US for $69.95 (Complete with the seller confirming Switch Dock compatibility.
Amazon won't ship lithium to the UK, but can get it from GearBeast for £41.69 in a flash sale for the next 24 hours.
I'd prefer the razor pack, but it's three times the price, out of stock in the UK, and doesn't have confirmed Switch dock use out in the wild. Likewise, a power pack with standard outlets would definitely work, and give more flexibility for other uses, but they're still more expensive and a lot bigger and heavier.
Unless you fine redditors know a reason not to trust ZMI Kit, I think this is the one to go for. Hoping to order the TV, Battery, Hotspot, and simcard this week - Happy to report back on what does/doesn't work with that setup.
I designed and built an entirely battery powered "portable" docked mode switch console-thing for car trips and smash tourneys. Before anyone says it, yes, the switch is already portable, but 4 people can cram around this thing and not go blind and the whole thing will run on batteries for about 8 hours. That includes the monitor, which is now a 12 inch display and looks much nicer.
I am using this battery to power the switch while docked:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/
Which naturally also charges it. and lasts a LONG time.
I'm not sure if my Switch's current battery drain is normal. I've read it somewhere that when the Switch is put in sleep mode with no game running in the background, it should be able to maintain 100% charge for about 1-2 days. I unplugged my fully charged Switch overnight and when I turned it on late afternoon, it has 98% left. Is that normal, or should it be able to hold 100% longer? I use the official charger for my dock, and use this ZMI wall charger next to my bed. Occasionally, I also use the ZMI power bank. Both of them seem to have good reputation and work well for the Switch.
Edit: words
I can't speak to the converter situation, but I did just buy this power bank for charging my usb-c laptops.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B072BD98CM/ref=ppx_od_dt_b_asin_title_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
It seems like it is cheaper than some of the other options out there. Doesn't max the airline capacity, but has a solid 20k mAh. It has a 45W output that should charge your chromebook without issues. I haven't had the power bank very long, but I am really happy with it so far (and reviews are positive).

Maxbost Screen protector, it will protect you screen against you cumming on it
Buy this one, it comes with a guide to lay on the phone for perfect alignment. Here.
I bought this one here and it works great
I got a screen protector from this company for my iPhone 6s https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073DLZWX7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_LszeAbVZFNEQH
When I got it they had a lifetime warranty which I used once with no problem but you're gonna have to check for this one. It comes with an install guide you put on your phone which is so easy and it's 3 protectors for 9$. Worth in my eyes. The quality is awesome
I dropped it a lot on the screen and not even a crack.
The time I broke it was a really serious drop
This is the screen protector I use, I have had the first one on since October and have noticed no scratching, 3D Touch works easily and it doesn’t reach to the edges of the screen.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073DLZWX7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_lHZzCb3YBM77J
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073DLZWX7/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_J481BbNFYW70F
I just got this one last week for my new iPhone and it works wonders!
I’ve had good luck with this screen protector and it comes with a plastic alignment tool you place onto the phone and you drop the screen protector right in place. I’ve used it on two iPhone XS and they’ve been perfectly aligned. It comes with the sticker for the dust removal too.
I just installed this screen protector: Amazon Link
This was the first tempered glass screen protector that I've ordered which came with a super intuitive guiding system. The protector leaves space around the bezel for a case, which is exactly how I intend to use it. It also doesn't cover the notch. The guiding system was ridiculously easy to use, and I got a perfect fit the first try. Plus, it includes 2 extra protectors, just in case. Highly recommend it, especially at the price I paid.
Coupled it with a Spigen Hybrid Armor and my phone feels well protected now.
ummm...I dont know? haha. I just generally buy cheap ones through amazon - my only screen is an anti-fingerprint coating (which doesnt last forever but w/e).
Literally the determining factor on this one was the fact that the pack included a guide to help get the placement correct (first time I have seen that).
FWIW this is what I got: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B073DLZWX7/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s00?ie=UTF8&amp;psc=1
I don't put too much thought into the protector. Mainly there to prevent light scratches - I dont expect it to save my phone from certain death. So with that in mind, the cheapo ones tend to do a great job. If it gets busted, no brainer to just slap a new one on.
ok, some people don't like your question. I would suggest doing it yourself. get a protector with an install kit, they make it very easy, and alignment is no longer an issue.
&#x200B;
This is the one I got: from amazon

Try this Anker Atom PD1 instead https://www.amazon.com/AK-A2017121-27W-PD-1-Port/dp/B07DFGKFM3
I strongly recommend 30w Aukey usb-c charger as a travel companion. It is true that it is slightly underpowered (compared to 45w) but it is ridiculously compact(size of a lighter) and lightweight(50g).
https://www.amazon.com/AUKEY-Delivery-Ultra-Slim-Compatible-More-Black/dp/B07LBG1C3Q/ref=mp_s_a_1_9?keywords=aukey+usb-c+charger&amp;qid=1558882956&amp;s=gateway&amp;sprefix=aukey+usb-c+cha&amp;sr=8-9
It is rated 30w max but you gonna get 27w as XPS supports 9V x 3A and not 15v x 2A.
Seems like Anker has a model even more compact, but I haven't tested its compatibility with xps13

This should be a good option and will likely charge at half speed.
I have a 13" 2017 MBP, and wanted a combo charger for travel that would charge both my MBP and my iPhone. I went with this one that outputs 30W on the USB-C port for the MBP.
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07FCFCRX6
I've been using it for a few days and it works amazingly well. Even when I'm doing all of my normal work stuff with tons of Office apps open, web meetings going on, etc. it still provides enough juice to top-up the battery.
It's no smaller than the Apple 61W charger, but packs more functionality. Anker has a single port 30W charger that would be significantly smaller than the Apple 61W - it's tiny.
https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DFGKFM3'
I'll probably pick one up once it's finally in stock in the coming weeks.
The moral of the story is don't overlook the 30W chargers, they work just fine for a 13" MBP unless you're doing stuff like gaming or video editing for long stretches of time.
I looked into the Ravpower GaN charger and saw some reviews that it can be a problem with some outlets while traveling. It's thin but really wide, so if your hotel/airplane/work outlet is in a tight spot you may not be able to plug it in.

As someone who has scratched their lenses with their glasses, PLEASE buy some sort of lens protectors! I bought these in black https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3653631
And while not needed I also purchased the 3D printed brackets for the DAS mod. I bought the first design, but I think they have improved a bit since then.
I would also highly recommend the AMVR facial interface, it has a cut out specifically for glasses and it is super comfortable. https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Interface-Bracket-Leather-Replacement/dp/B07VT3BM7P
I also bought the VR cover DAS padding because the DAS started to hurt the back of my head. the VR cover padding is AMAZING! https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0749JN5G7/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o04_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

Hope this list helps!
I got mine off Amazon a few days ago and it's absolutely horrendous, the nose pad doesn't keep the light out, it's supposed to be attached with a sticky pad that wasn't included, the face plate is a bit loose and doesn't attach properly on the bottom and if you wear glasses it pulls your glasses of when you take the quest off.
Fingers crossed yours isn't like the one I got.

Swap the sweat absorbing face cover out for an AMVR leather face cover. No more sweat and dirt build up. I can't believe that not a single comment mentioned this
Amazon Link
i can vouch for this
https://www.studioformcreative.com/product-page/go-quest-deluxe-strap-black
suprised not to see this. i prefer it over the silicone cover. the vrcover ones are probably similar but i read complaints
https://www.amazon.com/AMVR-Interface-Bracket-Leather-Replacement/dp/B07VT3BM7
i got those both for free , used and bought other similar stuff that was shipping was suprised to end up liking the free (valueless) stuff i would only keep for the eventual resale value.
Cases and batteries come down to the preference. i prefer nothing but velcro ties to hold the battery at this point. to fit in travel cases easier and to swap with different sized batteries
vouch for kiwi grips too

I have 3 others on the way.
These two - simple. one was super hot - and also required you to stick a nose guard in with adhesive.. granted it came with an adhesive sticker - but I don't want to do that.. plus it really made me hot.
The other - was flimsy - and felt like just a lite cloth.. that didn't really do anything at all....
So I sent both back -- and ordered 3 more...
I will let ya know if any of them are good.
There seems to be a sale on Anker chargers. Would any of these be a great fit for the Switch? I don't want to run the chance of ruining it. Also if they are what would be a recommend charging cord? 4 Port
Quick charge 3.0
Seems like the perfect place to ask!
As /u/afjeep says, the Spigen gets good mentions.
I can definitely recommend that you NOT get the Zerolemon. It doesn't fit the curve at the edge of the screen, and leaves an 1/8" "halo" of un-adhered protector. It hasn't caused me any problems, but it isn't a good design.
I've never seen a fingerprint sensor protector. I don't think it's a capacitance sensor, and I suspect that it might not function if covered. I'll go cover mine with Saran Wrap and see if it works...
EDIT: Wow! It works! I'm amazed! It reads my fingerprint and swipes through a single layer of plastic wrap. It correctly rejected my other fingers, but responded to the ones I'd previously stored. When a little piece of the plastic folded over and created a bit of second layer, it stopped working. So. One layer good, two layers bad.
