I was surprised how perfect the fit was so I had to post. No interference with any buttons. Not loose or tight at all. Best of all, IMO, no bulkiness. This forum has been very great in helping me decide on accessories for my new phone. Don't know if there is a way to get it by itself, but hope it can help. I am not allowed to post pictures in this forum yet but I posted them on PPCGeeks Epic Touch 4G Accessories forum. Will update this post with pics once I am allowed.

Yes, it fits perfectly with tpu case on or probably any case that is not too thick. I like it so much I ordered several to mount it at home and at work using the suction cup and disk. I got the $5 on Ebay that has all the mounting option. Without the phone and just the vent mount, it doesn't block the vent much either and it is easily removable.
$4 on amazon
awesome fine. i, too, have the 255w. though i use the dash mount. so its the perfect find for me, since thats what i wanted. gonna try it out.
Will it fix with just the phone without the case? I'm one of those that don't use case. Thanks.

I doubt it, doesn't seem it would be wide enough.... but I'll try to verify for you. in using the body glove case now, its a bit thinner than the toy and seems to just make it ok.
Can anybody post a details/links and pictures with phone in. Thank you.
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.

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.

If you are one of the owners of the new Samsung Galaxy Note, you can now order some accessories for delivery by the end of the month.

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.
I want a dock with pogo pins, but the original samsung dock is too expensive in my opinion. I mean... there is almost nothing inside and they want >40€
So are there any docks with pogo pins, which are not from samsung? Our chinese friends are known for cloning these kind of products, but lower price.
I am monitoring this thread...
BOOM.
I'm wondering why there haven't been more. Perhaps because the GN isn't as popular a device as other manufacturer's halo products?
I sure would love to give someone my money for building an adjustable dock that can accommodate my small TPU case while still connecting to the pogo plugs.
Not yet. Seeing how even Samsung and Google can't get it right after 6 months, I wouldn't hold my breath. Build your own, you'll save money and feel accomplished.
You would have better luck with this and this

+1 for this, doesn't take much effort to make one.
This looks really nice to have. I'm in sales and drive around all day long. Having a mount like this that will also charge would be great to have. Anyone have one, gonna get one or have previous experience with a different phone?

Some are talking about it in the car holder post .
jje
thanks JJ. I need to learn how to use this forum better! lol
I'm also currently looking at getting the active holder for the S3, currently have one for the HTC HD2 and it's been fantastic, much better than any of the vent mounts and windscreen mounts I've tried over the years!
However, my wife has just upgraded to the HTC One S, so I got the Brodit Active Holder for that phone and I'm just in the progress of sending it back! It is a poor fit for the phone and very difficult to align up the usb into the phone, possibly due to the usb being on the side of the phone. I don't have that problem with my HD2 with the usb being on the bottom and hopefully not with my new Galaxy S3 when it arrives!
I'll buy the fixed mount version if it works with a slim TPU case.

If it's anything like the one Brodit made for the HTC Desire HD, it's a perfect fit so it doesn't leave any room for a case. I loved it for the DHD but I think a really need a case for the S3, so I'm looking for something different this time.

Yeah, what Brodit/Proclip USA generally do is make perfect fitting holders leaving little to no room for cases. However, in very popular devices (iStuff for example) they make different variants suitable for different sized cases. Hopefully the GS3 will fall into this category in a couple months when it's in full force globally.
--edit-- just checked proclipusa and it appears they only make multiple designs for iDevices. Even the SGSII was a one design case. Hopefully all variants of the SGSIII will be the same dimensions and they will realize there is a market for a holder for this device with TPU and or other slim cases. But, I think your best bet would be a dremel lol.
Is The only way to get one of these right now form the UK? doesn't show a clip available for any of my vehicles.
You can check at Brodit's website who are the distributors in your country. Also, I don't think it's actually out yet, even in the UK.
Brodit S3 holder resistor?
Hello, I'm using my S3 really often in the car. I've made me a cable with the resistor to automatically activate car mode and enable full charging (bridge from USB Data+ to USB Data-) :good:
Now I found this really nice active car holder from brodit and want to know whether these mods are there, too? Or if there is any possibility to add them?
nice car holder for s3 with skin
This is what I have been after brodit holder for s3 with case on. http://brodit.se/product.html?id=512409&pn=prod&brand=Samsung&model=Galaxy S III i9300 hhopefully available soon.
I have the brodit active mount, although it was originally for an iphone 3gs, i just modified it slightly to fit my gs3.
---------- Post added at 11:55 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:51 AM ----------
I will post up the quick guide I have written and the photos when I have 10 posts. It was fairly easy to do, and the main reason I modded the iphone one is because A) I already had it and B) as far as im aware brodit dont make a dock which is adjustable to fit phones with cases for the gs3, whereas they did/do for the iphone.
Will post the guide when I have permission.

Hope its of use.
So, I dusted off my Infuse 4G Car Dock and voila! The S3 fits! Height is perfect but the S3 is a tad narrower than the Infuse so some very minor side to side alignment prior to sliding the connector in is required. Other than that it fits like it was made for it! Enjoy! :laugh:

Audio output works as well!

Dude, you are my hero right now. I've been spoiled by my Epic 4G dock for the past 2 years and I really didn't want to spend close to $90 for the brodit stuff.
Thank you
EDIT: Does the phone pop back out too easily? Gravity probably helps yours stay in but I keep my dock on my windshield and just wanted to know to avoid having it fall out forward. Thanks again

Yea snaps in firmly and pops out easy. No worry about it falling out.
Great find ookba and thanks. Is that the exact dock u linked to with the charging slider too,?
Also, does this come with the wiring harness?
I'm guessing that being slightly narrower might mean the phone might dock with a thin case on? Ie case mate barely there, incipio feather case etc.

Just to be 100% clear, we're talking about THIS car mount, right?
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-INFUS...8949&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+infuse+car+mount
I was JUST about to order it until I realized.... I already have the OEM Samsung one for the D710, here are the dimensions to compare:
i997 - 132 x 71 x 9 mm
D710 - 130 x 70 x 10 mm
The D710 car dock doesn't output audio for my SGSII Skyrocket, but that's okay because I have Bluetooth audio streaming in the car now if it doesn't.... going to keep the mount ready to install when I finally get my SGSIII in hand to test it and will report back with the findings! Wouldn't that be awesome if I didn't have to buy another car dock.....
EDIT - I also just realized you said the SIII is a tad narrower than the Infuse, so this being 2mm narrower might be a better fit!
MAJOR EDIT - I just received the SIII today, and while driving home with it, I tried it out on the D710 dock - it works just the same as the Infuse dock, so if you can't find the one for the Infuse, buy the Sprint Epic Touch 4G (Galaxy SII, D710) dock here:

Yea the SGH-i997 is the one I tested this with. Works like a charm. Outputs audio, etc. Does not come with any harnesses. The one you see is something I wired up. The dock has audio output and microUSB charge input.

I can also confirm that this works. Snapped right in, S3 went into dock mode and everything works great. Also as someone else mentioned in the other thread I used velcro and attached it to my Proclip vehicle mount.

Audio out through the 3.5mm audio jack integrated into the dock works beautiful.
Turn my car off, then back on and the music starts playing again right away.
Wish I could say the same for bluetooth.
USB *might* sound better than bluetooth too, btw.
That thingy on the top is my bluetooth microphone.
CZ - how much 'wiggle' would you say that it has when you are plugging it in as OP mentioned? Any danger of scratching the bottom as you try to get the USB in? Something that might be cured by a little electrical tape on the insides of the dock, or a very thin case?
great info.
I can confirm it too. I had an old Samsung Infuse car mount in my drawer, just took it out and tried it. It fit really perfectly, so surprised. I just cancelled order for new one. It was tested on road. Perfect. Saving a lot money and making me smile a lot. It made my day.

Absolutely no wiggle at all. The phone kind of clicks into place in the dock, even without the USB plugged in.
It does take two hands to put it in and remove it. It's that tight. But not TOO tight.
I haven't had any issues with the USB plug. Seems to be about perfectly aligned to me? But then I do have a body wrap on my phone.
No case will work on this though. It's too tight for that. Not that I've tried, but I really doubt any case will fit.
Fantastic - I'll get my order in
Just got my mount today.
All4cellular shipped really quick.
Thanks to op for the tip the mount fits great with my s3 , with Nfc tag attached it's perfect !!!!
as a bonus this mount also works with my galaxy nexus . This the best 17$ I have spent
