I'd like to have a stand to watch movies with as well as so that I can maybe play vertical shooters in portrait mode.

Does anyone have one they'd recommend?

So far, I've been looking at these:

-------------------------------------------------------

Basically I am looking for something sturdy, steady and adjustable. Portability is a plus but not really necessary.

One thing about portrait mode is the power or volume buttons may sit on one of the supports and I'd obviously like to avoid that.

I thought about making one out of coat hangers but I tried it, plus I figured I've spent enough on this thing so an extra $10 or so wouldn't bother me.

Here are some more accessories I am thinking about getting:

I use my USB flash drive a lot (good also for backing up through Titanium Backup) and would like something that holds it upright instead of it dangling to the side.

This seems to be something cool to go along with the stand for watching movies or playing games with an external controller.

I've got a wireless mouse that works great with the device (works well with ScummVM).

I got this stylus for $1 from ebay, with free shipping. Haven't gotten it yet but they seem pretty handy. I play a lot of NDS games and for certain ones like Trauma Center and Crossword DS it would make them easier and a little funner to play, IMO.

This is the case I got, thanks to Volcano's recommendation:

Maybe this thread could also be for accessories you guys want, have bought or were wondering about.

Well I'll contribute!

Starting off with a great SD card: A 64 gig Sandisk SDxc... LINK!

Of course it will NOT work out of the box, due to the way it's formatted. the fix is simple enough, you need to format it in fat32 which can NOT be done through windows normally (Microsoft thinks this card is too big for a fat32 partition thus the option is not available by default. only ntfs and extFat). Formatting the card can be accomplished using Fat32format... those needing instructions for this can use the following link: http://lmgtfy.com/?q=fat32format You linux users are laughing right now (as I am) because you can do this with mkfs.vfat... you know how to mkfs... right?

Next up...

An SD card holder for those of us with multiple swappable cards: LINKEY!

another OTG adapter: right angled adapter! Link

This one is very similar to the one posted previously by darklight1138, but this one is set on a right angle. in the jxd s7800 this will lay the adapter and usb stick/mouse dongle/whatever right up against the top of the tab (laying across the hdmi port). I know this is not going to be ideal in EVERY situation, but between this and the regular OTG adapter, I think you can accommodate most desired layouts... the only reason I'd want this one is when I want to game on the go and I have need to have my thumb-drive/dongle/whathaveyou attached as I go.

---

power solution: the default power cable! link...

Because... well... seriously? why wouldn't you get this?!?

---

power solution: a VERY nice power brick! LINK!

I like this power brick because it not only works in with the JXD in the house, but it's good in the car too... unfortunately it seems this is for AC/US/CANADA power only... not sure if works with UK power...

---

OK, now we are starting to get into the more eclectic accessories...

An audio add-on: This cheep bluetooth audio adapter...

I don't know man... it's small alright, and it SHOULD work with any bluetooth headset and I see absolutely no reason it wouldn't work with just about ANY device with a headset jack... but I have ZERO experience with these devices and while I will be acquiring one for my kit... I'm not just not willing to flat out recommend something this... "patchy"?

---

tablet case: this fabric/neoprene solution from willgoo: link

I'm sure it will fit around the s7800 just fine, but it doesn't really have any hard support for the sticks... I'm sure it will keep the tablet safe from scratches and dirt. but the "side loading" manner of inserting the game tablet CAN'T be good for the joysticks...

---

tablet case #2: this hard case solution from Willgoo... link

Well... we're scraping the bottom here... this case is designed for the s7300 which has the same length and width (ish) dimensions as the 7800... but the 7800 is decidedly thicker and has those thumb sticks sticking up... Willgoo recommends this case for the s7800 so there's that... but I'm not willing to test it myself... any brave dum--I mean "crafty consumers" out there willing to give it a go and let us know how it fits?
NEVERMIND! someone did this... I'm not too fond of it, but SOMEONE out there likes it! More power to them!

---

I'm not sure about the hard case recommended (first by Volcano then by darklight1138) I personally prefer using a nice backpack to lug my stuff around. but I have a LOT more than my s7800. Still... as long as the shell is sturdy, I'm sure its a GREAT case for the s7800.

The backpack I use:


However; being the rudepeople I am , I have to make another suggestion: THIS ONE!!!

Citywolf makes a WiiU gamepad case that looks to fit the bill just as well. the reason I would preferr the citywolf case is simple: I like a console case over a "briefcase" but that's just me... granted the WiiU is a good centimeter bigger in all dimensions (2cm wider) but the case is not formed to the WiiU like most other cases are and so adding some additional padding to protect your gamepad is not only possible, but adds to the overall protection offered by the case.

a look in the case:

---

In closing: stands... I'm partial to the willgoo solutions this one or this one, which were covered by darklight1138... I just like them... no real reasoning to it other than they are metal and seem sturdier than the plastic tripod.

---

EDIT:

OOH!! I forgot to add these: Analogue stick caps/grips (Woops! out of stock, try these instead)... these were covered in this thread. so far I can't tell if anyone as gotten/tested these out to confirm they fit, but I'm pretty sure that a little ingenuity and a heat gun will see them properly applied.

Those are not the same case. The one on the left is the Willgoo S7300/S7800 case and the one on the right is a case for a 9" tablet that I bought specifically so I could have room for peripherals and cables. By the way, I've much improved that setup and it works great. I can pull out the tablet or I can hook up everything and have a pseudo-laptop. I still need to find time to set up DOSBox properly so I can run Windows 95 on it.

I had typed up this really big long rant on this subject... but then I realized I'm too lazy to complain.

Plus, I really like my s7800... It's formfactor, button placement, and even general feel and build quality are GREAT, dispite not having proper bluetooth support, an easily swappable battery, multiple sd card slots, or a tegra... *COUGH-JXD-KAFF-HINTHINT-SPUTTER-S7900-COUGH* Sorry, I have a "head cold"...

 

I thought about making a wish list for the next iteration. Here are a few of my wishes. I agree with the ones you mention so I won't put those down.

- Illuminated buttons. I like to play in the dark and this would be no doubt a battery drainer as well as expensive. But I think it would be neat. Of course you could turn it off.

- Full sized USB port. They are becoming obsolete but I'd like to have one. These things are so big I don't think it would be an issue.

- Charging through the USB port. I like to have an alternate option in case the included charger dies or the port messes up.

- Aluminum frame. Yes, these things are already heavy but I'd like some metal on the edges of these things.

- Replaceable thumbsticks. Perhaps they could simply unscrew. Then they could be replaced if they break, taken down for storage or simply replaced by different kinds if people don't like them (e.g. the texture of the tops).

- Sectional pieces of the face that can be removed, around the buttons. This would allow replacement of buttons, membranes, etc. This would be a bad model since I know JXD would rather you just buy a brand new unit.

- Composite outs. Not everyone has HD televisions so this would be nice so that it can be hooked up to any old television.

- Capacitive stylus with built-in slot for it.

- Some kind of all-in-one data port on the bottom that allows you to plug it into a dock. Through this dock, you can connect to your PC or television, connect it to external speakers and of course allow for charging. This dock could also function as a stand so you can watch it if you're watching a movie or something.

- LEDs! And plenty of them! I don't like that you have to hit the power switch to see if it's charging. I'd like three LEDs: one for power, one for Wifi and one to indicate charging (like the S7300). Maybe even an extra one that can be customized, say for example when a download completes or you get an email. The more LEDs the better

Don't get me wrong, like you said I love the build of the thing. It's almost everything I was looking for in an emulator.

This is a pretty nice case from ebay.

Also this one's not bad:

Yep, hose are both City Wolf cases... same as the one's I suggested above... but CHEAPER!

Just thought I'd show the citywolf case in case anyone needed reference

Also, have you guys got a dollar store or anything over there as we have a poundland and 99p stores and these places do various accessories for tablets including upright stands, universal screen protectors, USB cables, universal cases and also a 2 pack of styluses for 99p. Cheaper than eBay as theres no shipping involved

Poundland et al are ace! Got a stand for my JXD from there and it works perfectly, get all my computer gear from there as they do everything from USB hubs/cables to laptop sleeves.

The stylus is just ok. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. If you hold it at a perfect 90 degree angle from the screen it works most of the time. When you tilt it is when you start to run into problems. Also, if you try to trace slowly across the screen, e.g. a drawing program, you get dots instead of a line. You need to be quick with strokes. Maybe that's how they're supposed to be. It's my first capacitive stylus.

I prefer the longer pen style ones for tablets, you can also get them with wedge shaped tips which some people prefer. Annoyingly resistive screens are far more accurate when used with a stylus and properly calibrated.

I have a neat stylus which has a laser pointer on the other end, I can use my tablet and wind the cat up at the same time!

I agree, dollar stores are no good for electronics over here. I came over from England 7 years ago, didn't go in many poundlands but yeah, no chance of anything quality in dollar stores.

From what I've seen the touch screen accuracy is garbage, don't think a fine point will do much for you.
If there was a good quality after market touch screen that didn't cost half the units price I'd be interested.

My sisters 40 dollar Azpen does circles around my jxd in this department.
