Dear forum members
I'm the least qualified to make this short-list and if anyone more competent would care to open a new thread on this subject or add your suggestions bellow then please feel more than welcome to do so.
As I'm new to this forum I'm unable to provide any links or pictures.
Without further adieu here is imperfect short-list:
Case: Case mate tough galaxy Note - release date mid January
Temporary case for the mean time: NILLKIN TPU CASE COVER - Ebay china import £7.33 Estimated within 11-23 working days
Can anyone recommend an affectively disposable ebay case for under £4 until case mate is released?
Screen Protectors: Martin Fields Screen Protector - Mobile Fun £12.95
Cheap Screen Protectors: atFoliX FX-Clear Invisible screen protector - Amazon £6
Cost effective charging dock: Dual Desk Dock for Samsung Galaxy Note - Mobile Fun £19.95
Sales pitch: Keep your Galaxy Note and spare battery fully charged with this Dual Desk Dock.
-I don't know if using anything other than a Genuine Samsung Galaxy Note Battery charger may cause damage?
Alternatively:
1:Original Samsung Galaxy Note Holder and Battery Charger - expansys £14.99 or Amazon third party £10.96
2:Original Samsung Desktop Dock for Galaxy - Amazon £30
There may be better prices else where but given the high percentage of fake goods on the market Amazon direct seems like the best bet for the following:
Samsung Battery for Galaxy Note - Amazon £19.99
SanDisk microSDHC 32GB Card class four - £29.00
I've heard that class four is apparently better in terms of performance and that Sandisk have good reputation but one wonders if it'd would be better to use a Samsung make?
In my opinion the pricey leather-ate type cases are less than optimal protection but from what I have seen this is the best looking one:
Zenus Samsung Galaxy Note Masstige Stripe Print Diary Series Brown - MobileFun £29.95
Disclaimer I've featured MobileFun extensively here but can't vouch for their trustworthiness.
And as many of you can see this thread is biased in favour of the UK for this I apologies.
This has to be a record for me,
I'd understand if people here knew me personally but for complete strangers to find me this obnoxious within such a small time scale.
Perhaps it's time for some deep self-contemplation?
Na I'll just get pi##sed on Captain Morgan's Rum again & watch reruns of buffy.
Thanks man
Thanks. Interesting list and a good starting point for discussion.
This thread is intended to gather and organize the docks, chargers, and other accessories we have built for the Galaxy Nexus. (Sorry, but I got tired of digging through the "Der, which case shud I get, yo?" trash threads). Some of were frustrated with a lack of proper manufactured accessories, others love to tinker. Whatever the cause, I hope it serves as inspiration to others. I will try to keep it updated, but feel free to post any I missed. Here we go....
Update: adding some off site projects and resources (droid life, droid forums, gnex forums, rootzwiki...)
Update: added descriptions and compatibilities

If you have experience with any of these dealers, let me know so I can rank them!
Heh looks good!
Great idea, now it will be easier to follow some of these threads rather than looking for them all individually.
I don't think this warrants its own thread so I'll stick it in here.
I was tired of my VZW Gnex slipperiness (I came from a Droid1) and I stumbled across this youtube.

I sprayed on a few clear coats of Plasti Dip on my battery cover and now it's really grippy. It also peels right off if I ever get tired of it.

I suppose we can start a tips & tricks section with that.
Updates....
Are there any accessories you would like to see, but don't exist, that idle hands could be working on, list them up here. Hopefully projects can collaborate and inspire one another.
Bump for coolness... Also pm'ing for a sticky.
good day.
Thank you, good Sir Chopper.
Updates and some reorganization. I also have some more of my own projects in the works...stay tuned.

I like the nice thread of all the stuff i might buy a car and desk dock
One thing i would like to work on is a case probaly an inexensive TPU case some how incorporate a fan in to it to keep the phone nice and cool when charging and working it to the bone.
I saw some special casing for a tablet that you can fit stuff into on youtube, maybe i could make my own.
I know there are usb powered fans like this and this. That's the easy part. The hard part will be making a heatsink for it to blow across. Just blowing on the back cover wont help much unless its a metal (thermally conductive) cover. But I'll roll it around my noggin' to see what I come up with...
OP here's a new USB charging dock llennium modified from the Nexus S desk dock.

Yupdates! A special one from me too!
I periodically seach for "Gnex + DIY" for new material for the workshop. Sometimes, I come across **** like http://www.ebay.com/itm/DIY-Bling-Diamond-Rabbit-Mirror-Hard-Case-Cover-Samsung-Galaxy-Nexus-i9250-/280915422107 . Thoughts?
That doesn't belong here
P.S. Great job on the thread :good:
This saved me hours of search. thanks!
I must say it's an honor to have my DIY dock included in this sticky. Thanks!
No prob. Without builders making the content, this would just be a catalog of....nuthin
I have recently reviewed the Kidigi dock for sgs3 and highly recommend it. My review unit was not the dual one with second battery slot but the base one.
Forgive me for not going into more detail here but the full info including images can be found on my site

If you also have this great dock then feel free to comment below with your thoughts
