Man, I'm buying this for sure!
Meh. Still waiting for official car dock
It's gonna be a while...
Cool that they made it able to accomodate their big-battery back. Nice design, perhaps a clip of some sort to allow horizontal mounting.
I don't like it, it's too bulky. Especially considering you have to plug your usb cable into it from the side. They should have moved to usb port to the back flush with the case so it's hidden from view. And there's no audio cable management.
It has a 360 degree ball in the back to allow for this. I absolutely love the HD2 dock... but we'll see how long it's gonna take for the OEM dock... I'd rather have that than this.
lol, 50 dollars

The ball join will allow for horizontal use, but it's not secure. I'm thinking that's why in the description they say..
"Charges and securely holds your HTC EVO 4G vertically".
When horizontal, the only thing holding the phone in the holster is the connector on the cable.
Hopefully this isn't Seidio's only solution for a car mount, to me it's very dissapointing. The only advantage it has over any other car mount on the market is the fact it works with the phone case.
I was hoping for something that was fully compatable with a bolt in system, last thing I want is another suction cup holder. Funny thing about the update to the site is that there is still no estimated date, when I spoke with one of their reps the other day they said that they are having manufacturing dificulties with their fabricator.
if I buy a car dock its going to work in landscape mode... end of story

Hey,
has anybody already tried out the docking station?
Is it possible to fit the Note including a flip case into the station?
Does the station have an audio/video out or is it only for charging?

Sorry... docking station ? More details please?.
It has a speaker out port, but sadly is not compatible with the flip case; too much extra bulk around the side and back. Very nice if you don't use the flip case, though, the Note slips easily into the dock, and it looks elegant.

According to this video starting at the 10 sec mark; it fits fine with the flip cover.

Wow, that docking is pretty nice. It looks like the leather flip cover will still work with it. Now the questions is where can I get one.
i received it today, its nice and much easy to put and pull the phone. in the box there is only the dock, they dont add nothing else. u can turn it landscape (with the phone docked). 49€ with shipping, in italy, expensive...

I wouldn't say it fits fine with the flip case; because of the extra bulk on the side, some pressure is required to jam it in, and because of the extra bulk on the back, the Note has to be tilted forward to mate with the USB connector, and you can't just drop it into the dock. You can make it work, but it's really not comfortable, and I'd be worried about damaging the connector. If they showed someone dropping it into the dock on the video, it would not look quite such a good combination.
That Dock would be just perfect if it came with an external battery fitted within it to be used as a stand while away from a power source.
Might still get one though.

Is that a BROWN flip case???? I thought they all Black?
Here are some nice pictures by a German fellow:

The official dock does not seem to allow use of an MHL adaptor on the back of the dock. Power still goes to the Note but no HDMI output. Tried several times, even tried internal/external speakers settings in "Dock" but no difference - still no video.
Can anyone else confirm?
PS. The dock does not come with a power supply, you just use you existing PSU/lead.

Have you actually experienced this, or are you speculating? I don't believe the Samsung flip case adds any extra bulk at the back, as it replaces the original back cover.

I have the cover and dock. I watched the video and though the Note did fit in the dock with the cover and ordered both, but it doesn't.
One the left side the back cover is thicker to allow room for the leather flap. You can still use the dock by titling the phone forward at the top but the the only thing supporting the phone is the dock connector.
Once I get a screen protector I'll remove the cover as I'd like to use the dock and it will be easier to use with my car dock.
The case does make holding the phone easier and it feels more secure in your hand.

Yes, I have. The back is more substantial than the rather flimsy original battery cover, making e.g., the camera more recessed, and the extra width of the flap doesn't help the device slide down, either.
So is the dock useless if you have the flip cover-case on? Or can you use the dock, although the phone doesn´t fit "perfectly"? I´m considering getting both accessories, but am a bit confused.

I wouldn't use them together. It's a really tight fit because of the flip on the left, so doesn't slide down as easily as the naked Note, and needs to be jammed in. Because of the thicker battery cover, when the microUSB connector is mated, the Note is tilted forward, putting stress on the connector.

Handtec.co.uk is a lot cheaper on all the Note accessories.
Just got my OEM car & desk dock from eBay (they aren't easily available in Canada yet).
First off, I have a T989D aka Galaxy S2 X (from Telus in Canada) and it fits (of course, as the hardware is the same).
Long story short:
Car dock:
The car dock is fantastic. It's a hard rubber that flexes easily enough to get the phone in and out without much trouble. It has a tab on one end to assist.
If you need a car dock, don't think twice, buy it.
Desk Dock
I wasn't sure how they were going to deal with the "chin" on the bottom of the phone. Basically, the dock doesn't have any front-to-back support for the phone... it's not a "slot". However, there is some friction so the phone doesn't flop around. That said, don't be tossing it around with the phone in it, as you'll risk breaking off the USB port that the phone is docked to.
Otherwise, it's great. It doesn't have an active speaker (like some pics show), but a little duct so the phone's sound can get out.
Photos please?

How do you like it so far?
Add me to the list of satisfied customers for the car dock. As soon as you plug in the USB port, it goes to Car mode (VLingo leaves a little bit to be desired though). The dock is a perfect fit for the phone (probably won't be able to use a case with it though) and seems to be of good quality. Very sturdy.

+ 1 and/or a video ?
I have both of these as well. The car dock is a VERY tight fit. So tight that sometimes I can't get the phone out of it without hitting one of the buttons. I don't like that for some reason when the dock is connected and an aux cable is used sound does not automatically rout to the car speakers and instead still tries to go through the phone speaker. Is that normal??
The desktop dock I love. The USB port has just a little bit of give so that I can pull the phone out from the front without using the sides of the phone and hitting a volume button or unlock button.
are you talking about this one?

I bought the multimedia desktop dock about a month ago at the T-Mobile store for $50.00+tax. Looks like you got a better deal online. To tell you the truth, I'm not that impressed with it. I think i bought it because I had just got the Hercules and I wanted all the cool accessories to be even cooler. Lol. Its basically a very expensive phone charger. Just my thoughts, don't let my opinion change your mind. I actually put it on Craigslist yesterday for $30.00. Lol...

Agreed an the tight fit. I'm always hitting buttons when taking the phone out of the dock. For your speaker issue, check off the box for audio output mode in the dock settings .

I'm sure you've figured it out by now, but for others it will output sound from anything. Notifications are still through the phone. I thought I saw a setting to change that somewhere but I can't find it now.

How does it automatically go into car dock mode? There isn't a magnet or anything in the dock that trips a sensor is there? I'm assuming that is a software setting?

Not sure. There's a docking part of the mount that slides into the phone's microUSB. Could be a magnet. I don't think it's solely software, because you put any other microUSB into the phone and it won't go into car mode.

This "car mode" you speak of is using the stock launcher I presume which doesn't go into landscape mode without it(car mode). if I'm correct, do any of you know how to unleash landscape mode without activating car mode? I'm using go launcher because it's the fastest launcher I've found that has landscape mode but I'm wondering if the stock launcher is faster.

Hello.
I recently bought a Xoom HD Speaker Dock, and it's pretty cool.
However, I can't consistently dock the tablet. It takes a bit of work to get the USB and HDMI plugs into their sockets.
The Standard Dock only has USB, so getting this into socket should be easier.
So, my questions:
1) How do you find the coupling when you insert into your dock?
2) My dock audio settings are greyed out when tablet is inserted. What does this do?
Thread is more discussion than question.
Nice i´ll buy one
Hello, When docking your Xoom in to the HD speaker dock make sure to align the dot on the bottom of the Xoom with the dot on the dock. Wwhen this is done it slips straight in.
Its not really smooth on the speaker dock, because there's two plugs to orient.
love my speaker dock
I have the same problem with mine. Not really a problem but more of a procedure..
Sent from my Xoom using XDA Premium HD app
I have to pick the dock up and hold it sideways in order to line up the connections. (it works for me )
I have both docks: speaker dock and charging dock. Generally when I want to dock my Xoom on either of them, I first align the dot / charging light on the Xoom with the dot on the dock. Then holding both sides of the Xoom near the base, I gently wiggle it from side to side until it "slips" onto the connectors.
This may also seems silly to suggest, but I will do it anyways just in case: make sure you are using the proper attachment plate if your Xoom is "naked" or has a TPU case on it. I've found that using the wrong plate will negatively affect how the tablet connects to the dock. When the correct plate is on the dock, just put the back of the Xoom right up against it, and just slide the Xoom down onto the connectors with the wiggle motion.
With a little practice it should become quite easy. I'm able to put my Xoom on my speaker dock in the dark!
Thanks for replies.
Yeah, I wiggle mine too.
With the otterbox case it just slides in easily

I'm looking for an inexpensive charging dock for my T999 that will be compatible with my slim case because I'm hoping that having the phone semi vertical will resolve the issue I'm having with intermittent missed calls when it lays flat on my metal nightstand.
The case adds ~2mm side to side and ~2mm front to back, both measured at the base of the screen. Any functions beyond charging would be great (activating dock mode, extra ports, etc).
Thanks!

OK, next question. Just what is dock mode? I can't seem to find any pics, vids, or a decent description of it. The only info I can find seems to indicate that aftermarket apps are better than what Samsung gave us.
