Accessories - Xoom Accessories

This is for chat about the Motorola Xoom accessories

At launch the accessories will be hdmi cable, media dock, gel case, portfolio case and standard charger

There are two docks, a charging dock without speakers and a media dock with I think.

What I'd really like is a case with an embedded bluetooth keyboard.
I know... "just buy a netbook blah blah", but I'd prefer a convertible tablet.

I agree it would be cool does the Xoom have usb host? It would be a lot cooler if I didn't have to worry about recharging a keyboard.

I don't think it does, sadly.
Something like this would be just about perfect:

I'm working with a team that is developing this EXACT thing for the gTab and it's almost done. They are wanting to do the same for the Xoom and are wanting specs. I don't own one so I can't give him any specs on dimensions and such. Does anyone know where I can find some white papers with full blown schematics, dimensions, ect to allow someone to be able to design this?

I'd call Motorola. Who knows, they may be able to help. Or ask on their official forums since some of the XOOM development team reads and answers questions there.

Docks made for the OG SGS II...

Just wondering if anyone knows if they would work with our version...
Send from my SGSIIE4T using the XDA app for Android
Epic 4G Touch has slightly larger dimensions and is a bit more curvy. So more than likely not.
OK, so now that the phone has been out for awhile, someone certainly has tried a dock for the SGS2 to see if they work.
I know that our phones are 1mm thicker but there must be some docks that only support the back of the phone. If the usb port is in the middle of the phone then it's only .5mm thicker from there to the rear of the phone, that means if a case has just a wee-bit of slack it should work for our phones... right??
I'm about to start ordering some SGS2 docks from Amazon and see if I can find one that works. If you have already done so then save the rest of us some headaches.
Thanks!
Chad H
I own both phones, and the E4GT is not only slightly thicker but slightly wider (see dimensions comparison on this page).
You might be able to find an Infuse 4G dock that fits the E4GT though.
Thanks for your input. It's nice to hear from someone who actually owns the device (s) in question.
I'll keep looking and maybe find an infuse dock to try.
Thanks again,
Chad

I am using a Seidio innodock JR that I had from my palm treo pro. It is a charger only I think. Its OK but not a custom fit by any means. I am happy to recycle it though.
http://amzn.com/B005NJ6EPI <--- this from Amazon is the kind of idea I was thinking of. It should work for any device with a micro USB on the bottom of the device. There are even tablet stands that would work in a pinch. I think I am going to order one from Amazon and report back.
Thanks,

Custom 3d Printed Car Dock

So just like Cray Talk, I got tired of waiting on Samsung and designed and built my own Car Dock. It took me 3 designs/prototypes but the final outcome is quite nice. It has the POGO pins (only 2) and a micro USB plug. It was built on my Objet printer so I'm not sure how durable it will be long term but so far so good. The material tends to get soft at higher temperatures so fingers crossed it will be OK this summer . I would love to tool this thing and mold it but with how fast things change in the tech world, I doubt I could recoup my investment. I would be happy to share my CAD files of the car dock and/or the Gnex phone solid I used to create it for anyone interested in having a go themselves or if they want to build one. BTW this fits the CDMA with extended battery version.
Awesome work! Those objets make things look easy
I'd love to give the cad files (sold and the dock) a try - I have reprap myself, but hopefully I can convert them to something printable on my machine. (I'd like to try for a desktop dock as well)
What software did you design in?

AWESOME. I love it. Now if only Samsung sold a 3 pin connector or simply a dock that accommodated a case, then I would be in heaven. Seriously, the Droid Razr dock is by FAR the best dock I have seen out there. It used a spacer so you could remove it to fit the phone, WITH A CASE, into the dock. And then a simple sliding micro USB connected to the phone. No fiddling with wires, no head ach.

It's a shame there are so many cases out there with different shapes and sizes. Can't possibly account for everything.
Indeed but the most common is the silicone/TPU cases, so even if the dock worked with them, it would be a step in the right direction
Are you selling these yet?
FYI - if you want, you can start selling your desgin @ Ponoko. Maybe with a little more tweaking you could make a slot for the 3 pin pogo connector.
I'd bet you would sell quite a few of these.
As a side note, I'm kinda surprised no 3rd party has made a pogo pin car dock by now.
Im not selling them because they are expensive to build given the material costs $0.50 per gram.
Regarding the pogo pin question, they are in the design and are working great.

Let your customers incur the cost.
I am getting a 3d printer at work and the cost of the material will be much cheaper than yours...lets talk. How many grams of material does it use? Are you using ABS? Did you use a tutorial for the pogo part? If so, which?
For anyone interested in the dock I made...
You can grab the files from here.
FTP://novelideas.homeftp.net
User: XDA
PW: XDA
There are several different formats including .stl. I bought the POGO pins from DIGI-Key, PN-ED8182-ND and the Micro USB from SparkFun, PN-BOB-09614.
I do not take any responsibility for it's functionality when built from your 3d printer or other prototyping methods. I built mine from an Objet 30 and it works great.
This is designed to fit CDMA version with the extended battery and cover. I designed it to snap on an existing Motorola suction cup mount from a droid bionic car dock.
Have fun!
Thanks a lot this will certainly come in handy.

I PM'd you the info on getting my files. I don't remember the exact weight but I think it is around 150 grams of build material and 200 grams of support material. I have an Objet machine so it uses photo polymer material specific to Objet.
The pogo pin design and usb design is my creation, no tutorial around that I know of.

OEM Car Dock

Has there been any news of an OEM car dock? Missing the superior fit and function from my GS1 dock. I want to just be able to slide the charge plug in without a fuss. You can't plug two cables in easily when driving down the road.
Yes and it's a disappointing offer from Samsung:

Actually someone mentioned in another cardock thread that they spoke to a Samsung rep who confirmed that's the only OEM cardock they plan on releasing for the Galaxy S3.
When it comes to accessories, Samsung is far from the leader.

It's not, when you look at the video from that site it is a Samsung dock but a universal Sammy dock for 4 inches to 5.3 inches. Lame.
Yeah, you're better off getting a cheap Infuse dock - it holds the phone very securely, and the charging port / audio-out connections work very well. You'll need to take your phone out of its case, but if you have a Diztronic or other TPU-type case, that's not so difficult.
Well...crap. Every other Galaxy S has had dedicated car docks. They finally release a Galaxy S that is the same form factor worldwide and then don't release a car dock. Yet, they will release like 4 different ones for the S2. Stupid.

I have a 3D Printer. Any requests?

**UPDATE 8/17/2012**
I've been working on many of your suggestions and am really enjoying hearing new ones. Please keep them coming!

Just upgraded from my bionic to this sweet phone & ordered the 4200 mah extended w/nfc from amazon for $19.
I made a custom car dock and docking station for the bionic- I was going to integrate HDMI & a usb hub (kind of like this ultrabook docking station) so ppl could use Motorola's Webtop Software more easily... but the # of ppl w/Bionics seems to have diminished extensively.
Anyway, I'm wondering if folks have any dreams for a sgs3 accessory that they'd like to exist.
I want the Mugen dock w/HDMI but it looks like it's out of stock until September... so I may design one myself. lmk any thoughts!

O_O man that printer is just insane. I've seen one in action and in some cases they have them in stores where you can just go an pay a certain amount for the object your printing
3D printers are amazing, and have really come down in price. I remember the first laser printers were in the $5000 and up range... ($5000 on the lower end as I recall)
And now, you can print in 3D ......... soooo cool.
So how would this work if you printed something for me? Not sure what yet, but I'm sure I could think of something that I've had in mind

Awesome. One day I WILL have to buy/build a 3D printer, but they're still currently either way too expensive, or way too janky (MakerBot). And then one day a little further down the road: true desktop molecular manufacturing for everyone (nanotechnology).
In any case, here's something I'd definitely design and print for my phone if I had a 3D printer: End caps and/or snap-on housings for my right-angle 3.5mm stereo cable AND my right-angle micro USB cable. Why? Because I often have both plugged in and it's a pain to comfortably hold my phone in landscape mode while gaming with the nubs of each cable connector jamming into my hands. Would much rather have something with more surface area covering 'em. (KICKSTARTER?! $$$ )

You should do the inductive charging mod for your phone with the Pre back cover and fabricate a car mount for the S3 with a slot to slide a touchstone into it.
Oh yeah, I'd want one. I'm hoping for something similar when Samsung eventually gets around to releasing their official inductive charging kit unlike the Verizon only one that Big Red just released.
That's a really nice docking station for the Moto btw.

Well if it's something that I think sounds cool I would probably just make it and send you one for free- the material isn't exactly cheap but it's definitely not expensive, either. The design time sometimes takes a while (2-10 hours), though, depending what it is. But yeah just throw down some ideas.
I'm also up to do custom orders for relatively cheap (~$20/hr design time, $3 per ounce printed). You can see some stuff I've done here, here, and here.

After I hacked my bionic for wireless charging I tried designing part of a phone back (my first print + first design ever, so it looks terrible). Even now that I'm pretty good with the printer & designing things, I don't think it has quite the precision for the fine interlocking mechanism required for the phone back to snap to the phone.
Also, you can see the fine bead of the print so it doesn't look as smooth as china-factory-printed-plastic. (see photo from first post) - so it's better for docks and things like that.

The makerbot replicator has worked extremely well for me! ($1700). It will do 50+ prints without an issue, and until last week the only fixes I had to do were replacing the tape on the platform and cleaning out the extruder's motor. (last week the motherboard blew, but they immediately shipped me a new one free of charge, and now I'm running again).
OK so let me get this right - you have right angle cables and you'd like something to snap onto the phone to essentially cover both cables so it is
a) more comfortable to hold in landscape
b) protects the jacks from damage
is that about right? or do you want it to snap onto the cables themselves

Yes I can print most things, even if there's an overhang (it just requires wasting plastic to print support material). Creating a design is pretty easy in Google's (actually Trimble just bought it) free program Sketchup. You can send me the file or an STL exported from any other 3d modeling software.

I got the Makerbot Replicator for the customer support. With relatively premature technology, I think it's worth it to spend a few bucks extra to get awesome support. They answer requests on weekends and will replace any broken parts promptly & free of charge.
However, I would probably try out the Solidoodle, as it is super cheap and looks good. I do feel bad supporting the company as the founder used to work at Makerbot and literally just stole their business model.

Thanks man. You must have seen my other post where I hacked my phone previously for wireless charging?
Not really sure I see the value to it being wireless charging if it's gonna stay stationary in a navigation dock, though? Would it be for device flexibility (so I wouldn't have to redesign it when I get a new phone)?

Actually didnt know about your previous mod lol.
Was more or less just thinkin aloud (or in text i should say) about a type of of car dock Id like to see for this and future devices. Im a little tired of buying 2-3 new docks (home, car, office) everytime I get a new phone in all honesty.
Would love for a slim universal car dock with inductive charging. Cable can be pulled from the inductive charging pad/touchstone for devices that require being physically plugged in. Makes things simple. Just get in the car, put the device in the dock quickly without worrying about fumbling wires or which side is your port on etc. When you get out just grab the phone. no worrying about wires, bending the usb connector cause you pulled at a wierd angle etc. you know?
Just figured the touchstone + mod would be a nice cheap base to start with for concepting over a $100ish inductive pad. Maybe even stick a laminated rewritable nfc tag in the center with a nice logo on it to program for carmode/ nav/ music or whatever as soon as you dock it. Maybe even make the dock itself detachable and usable as a desktop dock aswell... Ok ok lemme pause my brain for a lil while. I can keep going on and on about this stuff... lol

Experiences with ebay Wireless Charge Cover?

New Wireless Charge Receiver Back Case Protective Cover Skin For HTC M7 ONE 801e
http://www.ebay.de/itm/161058907579...eName=STRK:MEWAX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1423.l2649
It seems to be essentially a plastic backcover with taped-in "wireless charge receiver" and a micro-usb plug to use for charging.
I really want wireless charging but this left me extremely cautious... is there by chance someone around here who actually owns such a thing and can share some experiences? I mean it doesn´t even say if it´s QI compatible and such minor facts, seller doesn´t respond :-/
Or is there maybe an alternative I haven´t found yet?

Honestly I think this thing looks really shoddy...I mean it looks like the kind of thing I could whip up in my workshop with a spare case. That said, I almost want to buy it, test it, and dissect it to use on a high end case.
exactly. That thing looks easily 100% fake. I pity anyone who believes in the product or that it'll work as advertised.
It looks really cheap. The wires stick out. I can see the wires getting torn from the port very easily

If it worked I would use it with an Otterbox and carve out the rubber charing port cover so the plug would be hidden. I think that would be pretty near perfect. The only part that really worries me about that thing are the wires that go to the plug, they don't look near the correct gauge.

Too bad, thought some experimental kind of guy already had this and could say if it really is as shoddy as it looks :-/
Well.. Even if it works, what kind of charging station would it work with?
QI? Powermat? Touchstone? doesn't say..
Bought this and I thought I'd share it with you guys. I haven't received it yet though so I can't comment on its quality but there is a xda thread where people have received it. It shipped in 6 hours after purchase btw. I know it's not the same thing but it's a good idea and for the price with free shipping u can't beat it. I have a wireless charging orb with my n4 so I'd love to find a qi compatible case for the H1.
