Dock?

Has anyone bought this?
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/USB-Sync-Cra...751912?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3cbfabe768
After using a similar dock for my Nexus One, I think I'm hooked to them. mainly because I can use the phone as a desk clock when I sleep and it's also easier to debug/run apps from Eclipse and not pick up the phone to use them every time.
All I'm concerned about it that because there's no reinforcement at the front, it might be a lot of stress on the mirco-usb port. Any thoughts?

I would rather buy this cradle from Kidgi
http://kidigi.com/product_lv2.php?pid=1356
Looks geat and I know quality is good. Already own acouple of dock from them for a Defy and HD2. Pitty no pogo pins though. I sent Kidigi an email asking about futre docks usng tem and their prompt reply wasthat they are looking into it.

Those both look really nice for portrait docks... And I seriously can't decide if I'd prefer a portrait or landscape...
If I go for landscape, I think the best, although definitely not cheapest, solution would be to stick the official battery charger and cradle together with plastic velcro so that I'd have them together all the time, then when I go on a trip and need a second battery and stand, I'd just disconnect them and take that part.
...oei I overcomplicate things, haha.

I need portrait since I'll then probably be using it to test out apps without picking up the phone. A landscape dock would defeat the purpose

Looks really good. I'll probably buy this one instead. I think I saw one like this for the NS on ebay some time ago too.
Thanks!

They have it up for pre-order now:

A bit steep though

mh, $40 ... expected it to be cheaper, but so far the best dock I have seen around

i wish they offered HDMI on the dock that charges the 2nd battery as well really looks like a quality product though

Does the GSM version fit in the one wihtout the 2nd battery charger ( US$ 27.99 ) and some who know when it is in stock?

Verizon makes a desktop cradle with HDMI output
A store associate showed me the picture of it last month when I was purchasing a case for mine.
They said it should be available around launch time of the device.
I just looked on Verizon's website and didn't see anything

Got case on phone, is there a desktop charger that will fit?

Got a TPU case on my phone and love it. Is there a desktop charger other than the seidio one that could fit it?

Just use a USB cord with a case with a prop, works great

I got a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-II-I9100-ZENIS-DESKTOP-DOCK-CHARGER-CRADLE-/220883609072?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270865448058%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5859734319996833550
and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.

Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Someone just posted a review of the RND Power Solutions dock in this forum.

Looks like his LTE phone with a thin case was a tight fit, so this may not be what you are looking for :-(

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..

That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

Galaxy Nexus-Tapatalk

I finally got the charging dock from 4u-mobi and can confirm that the GSM model with a casemate barely there case will fit..
I also got a s-curve TPU case, that fit this dock as well....
In both combinations you need to take off the insert

what about the clingo desktop stand. i;ve been looking at getting a universal desktop dock so that i can use it with a case and future phones.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.

Dual Case Compatible Charging Dock

Obviously Samsung is more well known, but has anyone heard of EZOPower. They have the exact Dual Case comp dock, they look almost alike except for labeling. Is it as good

Since all this is is a charging dock, there is little for it be "better" or "worse". Essentially, all it is is a USB cable, with large head. personally i would go for the cheap one. If you were looking at a multimedia dock, it would be different.
personally, i would go for the hyperion one (also on amazon, and I cannot post links, yet because new members aren't allowed to help people directly, so you have to search for it) and save 2 bucks more.

thanks again
I found it. I had a bad experience with the wall chargers from them One didn't work. took awhile to get a refund
It looks ok tho.
1. It looks case compatible, don't you think?
2. The title says GS3, but the description says Galaxy Note. I do think it is for the S3
3. I did find the Kidigi which is more than that, the original Samsung, or the EZOPower, the Deluxe Piano Black Charging Cradle Dual Purpose Case Compatible. I dont know where to get it.
Thank You

I actually like this dock. Would LOVE to hear from anybody who has it if it would fit a thicker case like the Incipio Silicryilc. It's still fairly thin but not quite the skin-like cases that many love.

My thoughts:
1. case compatible? probably not... unless you have a dremel... if you do: yes it is.
2. with that shape, if it works for the note, i BET it works for the S3, as the S3 is thinner... but it might be "floppy"
3. kidigi says that the only US retailer is hypercel, but hypercel's website does not have it listed....

HTC One Car Kit Unboxing

Hello everyone. I am still trying to get the hang of doing videos so please be kind. I just did a video of the HTC One car kit. I love the HTC car kits and this one is as nice as the others I've had in the past. Actually, I like all the OEM car kits that are specifically made for a device. Normally this thing costs $60, but I had a 20% off coupon code from Lets Talk so I bought. I have now put it into my car and it is nice. If you like the automatic connection to Car Mode, it will do it immediately when the phone is slid in. There is a setting though that stops the Car Mode from launching. The one thing I noticed, after I did the video, the Car Mode isn't launched from sliding the phone into the holder, it actually initiates when the phone is connected to the connection pins.
Anyway, if you'd like to view the video, just click here
I hope you like it.

It would be nice if they designed it to work with cases... That's about the only drawback.

I agree. It can be a pain when it comes to removing it from a case. I love how compact it is.

I bought this recently and got it just 2 days ago

its awesome, sleek and generic and fits almost any phone even with the case and its very low profile.

That Airframe looks pretty cool. Is it easy to take off and put in different cars?

Genuine LG Smart Cover?

This cover exists! http://goo.gl/WwipqL (bottom of the link).
Who can track it down?

I think the genuine smart cover (which we can see on that screen and on IFA) is the Single-stage from VOIA. But that dock looks good too.

No, official case is not VOIA one. Offical case is :
http://review.cetizen.com/LGGPad8.3/view/1/5484/rview/5/13816/review
Very expensive from now : 89000 won/84 dollars/61 euros/
http://www.techdatamall.co.kr/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=518&category=

But the VOIA one is the closest to the genuine. I'm wondering if there are any authorized LG-only shops, they could have that genuine LG case... could...

Agreed, why save $90-100 off the regular price of the tab this week, if you just tack it right back on with a case?!
Still, it DOES seem like a spiffy case. Am I right in that it's a two-part - you can take the cover part off if you wanted? The Cetizen page seems to indicate that you can!

There is now a pre-order case on Amazon for this tablet.
I just ordered mine last night for $279 on NewEgg w/a $30 coupon, so paid $249 out the door shipped.
Going to run the gamete of my usual app's on this and see if it bogs down like my GT 8.9" in my truck does.
If it doesn't then I will re-do my Dodge RAM tablet fabrication and this will be the one to use.
Any one know if that dock has an HDMI out, USB or Audio jack out port like the Galaxy Series usually have?

Looks like it's only a simple charging dock, as it's name says..

@1miracle2 , what case are you talking about - this one? Please post a link when you have a second, thanks!

I really don't understand why any company would invest $$ in a dock w/o it being a charging dock or a media pass-through etc...
I mean this is built/sized specifically for this tablet right?
Crazy right! Or is it just me?

Well, in practice a TV out dock should by default have a Slimport adapter as part of its kit; I haven't seen any dock for any tablet incorporate a Slimport into it, so they probably just don't want to do it or don't see a market for it.
That said, if this dock is really just a pass-through, in practice you SHOULD be able to plug a slimport adapter into the dock and do your TV out that way. So for those who do want one, they'll have that option. Personally, I'm getting this tablet because I want to do my work demos on it so I will be needing a Slimport adapter, but I'll also have a case which pretty much negates the usefulness of a dock.
Back to the case thread, the one you linked to is not an official case but one of the others which has the issue of blocking the speakers when in stand mode. I'm hoping the official case, or a knockoff close enough to it, shows up on eBay on the cheaper side in the next few weeks...

Oh yeah, I didn't even notice the speakers are blocked.
This will still work for me though, I don't use it much out of my truck, I just remove when I'm out of it! LOL!
My Galaxy 7" 2nd gen, 7.7", 8.9" & 10.1" 1rst gen all work with an official OEM dock that has audio out, mini HDMI out and 30 pin to USB connector.
There are cheap knock off's that don't have the mini HDMI out option.
With this I'm able to connect to another monitor if I wanted but more importantly 30pin connector to USB would allow me to connect to a HU.

Was looking for the genuine LG case as well, seems like its on sale in hong kong for $258 (around £20).

Good find Sckc. Crazy how resourceful this community is. Took me long time to find what l little info I did. Keep up the good work! 100 internet points to the first person who finds a way to buy one of the genuine covers right now

That's not the LG genuine cover. That's the VOIA "Premium Standing Case" mentioned in the second post. You can tell from the "for GPad 8.3" branding on it.

Not a clue as to why LG hasn't released their own official case a month after the tablet came out. It makes no sense at all.
The VOIA case looks nice, but I'm not a fan of how it stands up.
