i am looking at this:
Galaxy S Battery Charger w/ Stand
samsung.com/us/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/mobile-phone-accessories/ET-CHGPKNVGSTA/index.idx?pagetype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&tab=accFeatures
but i can't quite tell how it works. does that flat part flip down to cover the spare battery as it charges? or is that the back of the stand? do you just set the phone up in that groove toward the rear of the device? is there a charging connector built into the stand part, or do you still have to manually plug it in?
sorry for the stream of questions - does anyone have experience with this?
I have the battery stand and it can hold the phone only if the cover is tilted. When you do use it to hold up the phone, battery is exposed

hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have any questions
so you're saying you take the back off for this?
Thanks for the pictures. I ordered mine last week and hoping it would come before end of the week.
Being mobile and on the go during and after work, 1 battery wont be enough for me and an external charger will help greatly.

Ph00ny...perfect, now I see how it works. Sitting in the stand, there is no integrated charging solution since the micro usb is on the top, right?
Well that's great for an extra battery, but the phone just sits there and doesn't get charged. Some body must have a better solution.

Samsung has another Dock that holds the phone Horizontally and charges it:
They call it a multimedia dock
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=accessories
ph00ny, can you lay the phone horizontally, or does it have to stand up?
It works great in horizontal orientation. You don't even have to open the battery cover
I will take some more pics tonight

Thumbs up for Top Gear!
Cool, I don't know how I missed that as I had been through their accessories pages quite a few times. Does it actually have a media out of some sort? I can't tell from the pic but it looks like there is another port on the back of it. And ofcourse it's out of stock.

I like the car dock even though they did not set it up to activate the car dock mode.
My car dock from them puts my evo in car mode every time.

Let us know how it is. It's so ridiculous that Seidio comes out with one before HTC/Sprint. I've lost hope that the official dock is ever going to materialize.
I ordered the kit, it shipped yesterday but USPS tracking sucks so I have no idea when it will be here... Hopefully by the end of the week.

here is my problem, fitment issue ....
if i put the evo on the dock this is how far i can push the case down be it touches the bottom of the dock ... so the phone is being held up by the usb plug
if i insert the evo as you normally would i can rock it back and forth a little, not a soild stop at all
I got mine today. Looked great. I have a problem with mine. When I plug the phone into the cradle, my phone rings randomly, every few minutes, & sometimes it's an extended ringtone! Please tell me there's a setting that's making it do this, but I think mine is defective as well....
Hey guys...just got mine today.
I like it except one thing.
Shouldn't it put the phone in desktop dock mode?
Or did they not ground the wires the right way...
The battery info just shows a/c connected

If the wiring is right, hypothetically it should put the phone in dock mode...meaning the phone understands that it is docked, not just charging.
Unless I'm missing something...that is an option.
Sorry if this has been posted before.
I have been looking around at desktop docks for easy access to my phone while its on a desktop under my window next to my sofa, I have been looking at this one
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it or could suggest something better, I will want to charge it via the dock and possibly connect it to my PC/laptop without having to remove the phone.
That'd be awesome to have.
The only thing bad about docks like the one posted in OP, is that your phone case might be too thick, and you wouldnt be able to connect it properly. there are other non specific stands out there that can hold any phone size, and then you just plug in a micro USB cable.
personally, I use this on my desk. works perfect, and it allows me to set my tablet or whatever device im using, on the stand, and then i just plug it in.

might not be the prettiest thing, but it works exactly how i need it to. and you cant see the stand at all once a device it sitting on it.

I personally am using this:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B008KP4ZFI/ref=oh_details_o02_s01_i00
EVERYWHERE.
you have to add a metal plate (i put mine between the battery and the cover.. it is pretty darn thin) and then have one of these at my desk at work, my nightstand and in my car. I just slap the phone on it, and grab it off. secure, doesn't slide around, but super quick to take off. for tha cabling part, yeah.. i have a cable ziptied to it to charge if i need to.
I bought this one http://smartphonepedia.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-desktop-charging-dock.html It SUCKS. Waste of $20.00 IMO
I like the Samsung one but It needs a spare battery charger for me to pay $50.00
This is the one I'd buy right now. http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com...ery-slot.html#
Nice to see some suggestions, of what, and what not to get. I saw some bad reviews of the official one so I decided to see what this wonderful community can say about this and other options, for the charging docks another thing needed would be it needs to know when the phone is charged as well (like the normal adapter) so I don't destroy the battery lol.
Keep the options coming

If that's a universal charger with movable connectors, don't get that. It wont charge your battery to 100% and might mess up your connectors on your battery.

He's asking for a charging wich charges your phone, AND spare battery at the same time.
Kidigi has that kind of charger, and also other companies offer one, just copies of this one

both chargers above have an extra USB port...so you can connect a USB cable from the charger to the phone while a spare battery is charging..

There is also this one from Kidigi as well.
It features dock/sync mode button, audio out via usb.
It has a bit less physical support but both Jeurum_92's suggestion and this one have a removable insert to help accommodate a case. It's also a bit more $$$.

Yes, it has an insert wich you can remove so if you have a slim case it will fit
Looks like you need to use a USB Mini cable and not the cable it's supplied with to get both to charge at the same time though.

What do you guys think?
I bought the same one. Had it for about a week now, and with no problems charging the phone.
My only issue is trying to find a case for the phone that doesn't slide off the charger. Both spigen cases I have bought, the phone slides off after a few minutes. Without a case, the phone stays on beautifully. However, I like to keep my phone in a case all the time. Any suggestions?

Try attaching some thin magnets on the surface of the charger. You could alternatively buy some magnet tape and apply that.
I also found this one that looks fine but there are no reviews so I'm a little bit hesitant. http://www.amazon.com/PThink-Qi-Ena...e=UTF8&qid=1390259691&sr=8-6&keywords=qi+coil

That really depends on where the coils are located on that device. It looks like it should work, if you are going by the qi mark in the center, because the coil on the N5 is close to the center of the phone.
EDIT: I see they say it has three coils. If that is the case, then it's like the Tylt VU where it has three or so coils.

Those specs are good. It's the same 1000mA output as most Qi chargers. If the output is rated below 1000mA then don't buy it.
That's odd. I have the same off-brand (bought mine on NewEgg, but it looks to be the same one) Qi charger and I've not had any kind of slippage issues with mine.
Took it on a trip recently, and it held up just fine without slipping when I was using my Ringke Slim case. And-- needless to say-- I have no slipping problems when I'm not traveling, and go caseless on my N5.
I always did prefer the Nexus Orb charger look!
I picked up an inexpensive wireless charger ($12.50) to put on my nightstand but I've bumped my phone in the night a couple times so my phone didn't charge. I drew up and printed a little stand for the wireless charger to sit in and hold the phone while it's charging. This really isn't anything special and I'll be tweaking a few things to make it less bulky but I'm pretty happy with how it turned out.

Does the charger work with fast charging? As far as I've heard, fast charge only works with the pixel stand. Unless you found one?

This does not fast charge. I'm using it on my night stand and actually prefer that it slow charges overnight. I'm really not a fan of fast charging since things get so warm and LiPo batteries do not like heat.
Id be interested in buying two of them if you could make a square cutout for my charging pads. I can send you dimensions etc if you're interested.
