Nah that mouse pad win. Using one myself for a couple years. Never ever run out of pad space with that baby.

Funny enough, I'm using one of those myself

Been a huge fan of a "hard surface" (everglide) yet somehow this massive steelseries cloth pad has become my primary gaming pad.

Very smooth.

My last purchase was the following:

Mini Folding Stand for my Galaxy Note 2 (not big on the cases with the kick stand, so this is a go between solution)

An arm band for same so I can track my workouts and runs with endomondo. Getting tired of running with it in my hand (my galaxy nexus arm band was understandably too small for the note 2)

And last but by no means least, an awesome MHL cable to connect the Note 2 to my big screen LCD TV. (Bloody thing runs XBMC as good as my full fledged desktop HTPC system. Amazing)

The Arkon holder does WORK! A piece of advice though. When you release the phone from the grip, it widens so quick the phone liable to fall right out so be sure to brace the phone from falling.

Also be careful when using it in horizontal. The whole grip can come off the mount with a bit of ease if trying to adjust phone position in crip

Have that using with my Galaxy S2 for months now.... don't know how I did without it...

Good looking out Sax. I would cry if meh ting fall.

My phone has fallen quite a few times out of the Arkon holder due to the exact same phenomenon Sax described lol.

Still, it is so epicly useful, I don't care.

And thankfully, the flooring / mat in the car isn't exactly going to shatter the screen.

Ever fall out in the road though?

I can vouch for that Arkon mount as well.

Easy solution for the phone falling out phenomenon...just tilt the mount up a few degrees so that when you release the clip, the phone is leaning back against the support and won't fall out. Simple

No @ falls out of car

It is mounted on my windscreen, to the right and never fell out the car.

Would take a freak accident with the right door wide open or something for that to happen.

Of recent, I've taken to placing and removing it in the mount without using the release mechanism altogether.

There is enough play with the foam grips to squeeze the phone in and out. No falls since adopting that technique.

My last purchases were as follows:

SPIbelt

Don't let the diminutive size fool you....this little belt's storage compartment can stretch to hold my Galaxy Note 2 (no more running jokes about having a laptop strapped to my arm)

Slip the Note 2 into the belt and hide below my vest/-tshirt for non intrusive sporting action. Endomondo ftw.

An Original Nokia E71 charger

Believe it or not, this actually charges my XTG bluetooth headset. lol. My kids broke the original charger that came with it.

GoGroove FlexSmart

Was never a fan of FM transmitters but this one has built in bluetooth. Works like a boss with my Galaxy Note 2.

No more transferring songs to the car, I can just maintain one epic music library on my phone and as an added bonus it doubles as a "hands free" setup and a charger.

Long Sleeve Rash Guard

For some NoGi grappling action. MMA to the world.

Lihixxxxxxxxxxxx

Last but not least....a new case to replace one of my old faithfuls.....been literally using the same case for over 10 years in two of my desktop machines. One finally got an upgrade to this beauty.

Been jones'in for an alienware-esque case like this for years

Machine increased its performance by about 20% just from the case upgrade. I swear. lol
