Mugen Desktop Dock with Second Battery charger - Galaxy S II Accessories

I just got a confirmation email for shipment for two of these docks
http://www.mugen-power-batteries.co...sb-desktop-cradle-with-2nd-battery-slot.html#
Anyone try them out yet? If they're decent enough, i'm probably going to get a third.

please give us a review once you do receive it. I'm still looking for a good dock w/ battery slot for my SGS2.

Mugen are nice but beware of their free shipping option
i order a battery for my old Desire Z, it's been shipped on Feb 7th
i received it last week...
after they refunded me 3 weeks before + 5% coupon LOL

KiDiGi products are quality products. That 's for sure, I know because I have bought some of them during the last 1 year.
The only disadvantage that someone could find in this desktop craddle, is that the spare battery slot is made only to exactly fit the original 1650mAh samsung battery.
So if you later want to buy an extended battery it won't fit in the slot!!!
Otherwise it is one of the most beautiful and quality docks out there!

I got the battery docks and one issue. Adapter that came with the kit is not for US power plugs

Look at the label on the wall wart and see if it says 110-240 VAC input range. If so, all you need is an mechanical el cheapo adapter like eBay 260826060985. (Sorry, can't post links yet.)

This is exactly the type of destop charger and sync I have been looking at an UK website: http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-s2-dual-desktop-charging-cradle-p29886.htm
But did not know if they ship to the USA, so I had sent them an email asking them this question but have not heard from them. Can anyone confirm if this are exactly the same models?

Just ordered this one, and returning the official samsung dock as i found it to be very jerky. This looks wayy better, can't wait.

It seems to be identical but it's definitely not the pictured kidigi unit. It's a knockoff
ignore the picture quality. I took it with my BB

The cradle for the Wizard / Cingular 8125 works...
I purchased a BoxWave desktop charger for my Wizard and just tried it with the Touch and it fits perfectly.
http://www.amazon.com/Wizard-Cingul...6630?ie=UTF8&s=wireless&qid=1185404711&sr=8-1
The charge jack can also be flipped around (remove 6 screws and reinstall) to work with a P3600, P4350, TyTyn/Hermes.
i bought 2 of that cradles... Price for one Cradle is 14,80€, i think thats ok!

Any other cradles out there, specifically available to ship in the US?

I registered for an update on BoxWave (for upcoming HTC Touch accessories) and received an email today. They now have a cradle....
http://www.boxwave.com/products/easyfinder/buy-best-htc-touch-accessories_2727.htm
I found like 3 or 4 different cradles now, all suitable for the touch, but what I'd really like to see is a cradle with integrated 3.5mm jack
Actually the following as a cradle...
(from amazon)
Do you think something like that will be available anywhere soon? I already thought of purchasing that and somehow "build" a cradle areound it.
I've got the exact same functionality in my >5 year-old MDA (I?) cradle and it's really useful.

I'll second that thought!
I'm going to crack the one I got from Brando (see my earlier post here) with a penknife and plug my HTC adaptor into it myself.
I have two different HTC Touch cradles available: one with spare battery charger, and one without (see pictures attached).
The small cradle (no additional battery charger) is US $15.
The cradle with additional battery charger is US $20.
Shipping to just about any country is US $8.
PM me if you would like more details / would like to order one.
Looking for folks that actually own a cradle and can report back what they like/don't like... and which one they ended up buying?
The cradles for the touch don't look very - how you say - sleek? Very old school for such a nice phone
I like the looks of the boxwave cradles but here's another one that charges from the usb.

Who was the British seller on xda that was selling the usb jigs please?
why are u insisting on a British seller there are many who are selling them
It was just the one i had seen on ebay, the ones i searched for earlier were from hong kong and 30+ days postage. Im not bothered who makes it and not discriminating, just worded wrong

I really want one (from the UK) that allows payment other than PayPal, I don't have an account and for £4 not really worth signing up for. I normally pay by debit card when buying from eBay shame can't do the same with this. Anyone have a spare they want to sell me? Thanks

Edit:
Crap, just noticed it's for the 1650, but the picture is of an 1850 mah.
i still think the offer on ebay for $40 for the Docking+1850 NFC battery is way better than buying the battery by itself
i got 2 of those
1 for home , and another for the office
and as usual i always carry 2 extra battery pack with me
because i know i can burn through 1 really fast, on my down time
in the doctor office waiting room, i can easily burn the battery down to 30% in 3 hours
that's on the Nexus S and I9000, so i'm expecting similar performance on the SGS2
I just got 2 extra OEM batteries the other day, I've got to say it's pretty sweet to turn up the screen brightness and not worry about battery life.

a bit off topic but yeah... i don't even know what's the point of having an Appointment! with the Doctor, if you arrive on time or even early, and you still need to wait an average of 2 hours give or take a few
so i really hate going to see a doctor unless i'm in dying needs for some prescription medicine
like what's the point of having an "appointment" if it's like a walk-in clinic?

nope, it barely holds the phone on it's own. I felt like I had to force the phone in it and felt it was gonna scratch the Bezel with continued use. I wouldn't buy it again after owning it already.

Where to find spare battery charger?

I just bought this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/330698068250?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I just needed a spare battery, Usually I come home from school with like 65% left but for some reason I like to spend money on my GNeX accesories, so I bought this battery. I hope it has NFC but for 4$ whatever.
So my question is, anyone know where to find a 1750MAH battery charger like those ones that samsung sells where the batter just slips in and the lid closes? I need one but not prepared to pay the 20-30$.
Any cheap ones that you guys use that work well?
I found this one on Amazon and it's in the mail now. Seems cool because you can adjust the charging pins to fit lots of different rectangular batteries. Haven't received it yet but if you're interested I'll repost after I do.

The pic on that listing shows nfc on the picture of the battery, but like all fake Samsung batteries, it won't actually have it. I say when you get it, report that the item received was not what was listed and get a refund. It won't be worth anyone's time or money to pay for return shipping, so you'll end up with a free battery and the person who listed that will hopefully learn from their attempted scam.
Sent from my HP Touchpad running ICS
Hmm yeah I'll see it it supports nfc and if it doesn't, I might get the 3.99$ back but eh, it still didn't say anything about nfc in the description and this guy has a good eBay reputation so whatever
