My car dock - Galaxy S III Accessories

Hey guys. This is just a quick look of my car dock for people to see. I got this off eBay like a year ago and its still functional like new. I'm sorry if I'm only demonstrating inside the house, but you guys should get the point. I also use it as desk dock to hold my phone at the moment.
You can get them off eBay or amazon around $3
Here is a video showing the features

Couldn't even hold my phone in place when the car was moving...

hmmmm. Mine holds pretty well so I dont know about that.
You couldve exchanged it instead for a better one instead of throwing it away

$3 item shipped from China...I don't think so. Again, this was just my experience and opinion that's all. If it works for you all power to you.

Lol. Yeah, that's true. But it doesn't really even take much effort to send them a message.
I'm sorry about your experience with it though

I have the same one and I'm happy with it. It will have the phone droop down occasionally if I'm on a really bumpy road but that's fine for the price, only takes a second to pick it up again.
I'm going to put an nfc tag on it so that my Bluetooth will turn on when I dock it. I already have tasker start music when the Bluetooth connects.

Going to run by my sprint store to confirm this.
The SKQ and price have been known since launch, hopefully though they are finally shipping though. If it looks anything like this, I will be pleased.
So how do we know its really going to be here monday then?

I have the clingo in hand.
My phone fell off 3 times already and that was on the way to work in the AM. Not happy at all. And the Evo in case is too heavy for it...it droops...
60 bones! What does it come with? It doesn't even plug in when cradleing the phone. If I'm going to pay that much I'd at least like it to be dock like, not a suction cup wih arms!
Sent from my AVAEVO using XDA App
For $60 bucks it better suck my.... Yeah anyway it better have a USB port in the unit.
I have to wait until Seidio's is available, since it will be designed to work with my extended battery. Still, that one does look nice if your stock. But $60? Seidio's isn't even that expensive.
They even have pics up, and its a real dock. http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/ck17hev4c04.htm
I think the Seidio will beat this one hands down. It has a telescoping, adjustable swivel with locking screw, its a charger dock and it will fit with innocase, innocase II and extended batteries.
Tried to order and they said the SKU is valid, but there are NONE available and havent been yet....
so I highly doubt anyone is getting this monday.
Maybe next time.

not bad i guess but im keeping my soundgate for 5 bucks thanks to a member here that posted about it.
the soundgate i think is the best because in my truck the phone would be too far out of reach with the suction cup. i would literally have to lean up against my steering wheel to reach it. i like to lounge when im driving and watch a movie
So, did ya get it in today?

Extended battery skins (For clip) or case

Hey guys,
I know a lot of you are looking for this.
I have found a site which has these in stock and is selling. I bought two.
http://www.mrcellphoneunlocker.com/V2/products.php?product=TB_EX
Pretty cheap if you ask me.
They all look pretty poorly cut... maybe if they done better it would be worth it, but looking at all the jagged cuts on those skins... it would be cheaper to just buy one of ebay for less and poorly cut the thing myself.
Im lazy

True. But I rather save $10 bucks. and get 2 if needed.
Money should always trumps lazyness. $3 vs $13...

Those look terrible. I cut mine and it doesn't look that bad.

LMAO this is some sort of joke right? What moron would pay $13 for that?
I had done my own cut back 15 days ago, photos are outdated but you get the idea. In addition, I had ran a lighter around the freshly cut edges to smooth out the lines. It's better looking in person, that's for sure.

Shrug. I just buy from by buddy. I have 2. He only sells black though.
So far, Ive had mine from his pre-release ones. and its holding up quite well.
They can be seen on: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320689127257&ssPageName=STRK:MESELX:IT
Those are the ruff cut pics. I dont think hes had time to update pics because hes had some family and whatnot. But, for the price. $13 vs 25.
I'm also selling them for $10 shipped.
-Mobile on my Bolt sportin' some goodies-
I'm actually waiting for this:
http://www.seidioonline.com/category-s/5448.htm
Seidio is going to have their active case for the ThunderBolt which will cover the battery more than likely because they just released pictures of their SURFACE case and it covers the battery. Check it out and let me know what you think.

PowerMat for Our Vibrant!

This looks great! Anyone getting it?
No, but Radioshack needs to learn how to make a advertisement properly...if anyone clicks on the link and sees the picture they know what I mean
Yep......Vibrant/4G =/= i9000

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.
If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).
it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy
____________________________________________
They had this at walmart. Fits vibrant and galaxy s 4g. Was considering it but it adds some thickness to the phone so decided not to. Only $40 tho

I thought someone posted that the fit was terrible on these? That people had ordered them, but ultimately returned because they were too loose.
EDIT Scratch that... I'm thinking of these http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html
My powermat had finally come in and mine seems to fit fine.No wobble or anything!

I would pick one up but $30 seems expensive for what it is. I do like it tho.
Thanks for bringing this product to my attention. They also have a deal on a free case with a order. I just placed my order. Thanks again man.
Thanks for posting, I ordered it.
The free cases were unavailable
I cant believe people are paying $30 for that.
Pay me $25 and I will train you on how to hold your phone. Deal?
I think this is great. Ordered 2. Couldn't leave the gf out. She saw it and said "i need that for my galaxy note".
Sent from my SPH-L710 using Tapatalk 2
I wanted to see the free case that comes with it. However, I really like the idea. I could purchase an extra back for my phone so I could just swap backs when I am leaving the house. I WISH I could see this in stores first as I have watched the video on how to tell which size to use, but I am not sure as to how far down on my fingers I would hold the phone. I also would like to see how easy it would be to pull the adhesive of; I would hate to substitute this as a case and then be out in the Texas heat with this thing on and the adhesive wear off, sending my $600 phone plummeting to its death. However, pretty good review I will keep my eyes on this accessory.
Oh, and I am also curious as to much thicker the small and medium
TL;DR: I need to see this in person first before I spend $30.

Nice woulda been nice to have know about this with the Samsung Galaxy Note.
It's good that there is free shipping but after watching the videos the guy did say that they are available at Inmotion stores...mostly
in airports. Here is a link to the site.
http://www.inmotionstores.com/locations.html
Put that good phone to use and give them a ring to make sure it is in stock before you go.
Just got this today. The thing looks quite functional, but I wonder how durable it is in the long run?
The case seems like generic black TPU, feels a bit rubbery. Although, I haven't owned a phone case in a while so I can't say. I'm on the fence about it, but will put it through its paces before passing judgment.

Training us to hold the phone is not the point. I can't even reach the Menu button or a lot of real estate on this phone much less hold it without the threat of dropping it while trying to operate one handed. With one of these my thumb will be able to reach all areas of the screen with no danger of me dropping the phone. There are many times when one-handed usage is ideal, but this phone is so large for most it's not possible. I bought one just the other day and only wish I had happened upon this thread first to get the free shipping. Did get a free case, though.

Just wondering if once on is there any method to loosen the adhesive to take it off. Due to dropping my first phone I have an extra case as well as an extra battery. I'm planning on using both cases-will place Flygrip on one and leave the other original. I'm just thinking I might not like the color (I ordered white for my blue S3) and may order another color and take the first one off.

UK Case

Good afternoon
I live in the UK and I'm wondering if you could recommend a nice case, slim-ish with easy access to the s-pen.
I have a book case type but finding it a bit annoying...

One quick question - the pictures of this with the SGN in semi-horizontal position show the table with the screen upside down. Can you flip the SGN so that the screen is the right way and still be able to get the s-pen out ? Sorry - stupid question, I know, but I think this is exactly the case I'm looking for. I need something that can be (almost) horizontal and still be able to plug the charger in at the bottom.
Thanks !

The orientation is with the bottom of the tablet to the hinge of the case. As far as charging. No problem with case open. With case closed Ive taken a scalpel and cut a small slit to allow the power connector access. No biggie.

Thanks, bocosrs. Sorry to be a dummy, but does that mean that, if you have it lying semi-flat, the screen and whole tablet is upside down with the power connector at the 'top'? I really like this case, but have my sgn on my desk charging all day and want it lying flatish. It's not much good if that means it has to be upside down.
Good idea about the scalpel, btw.
Thanks again.

Only if you have the "smart cover" folded like shown in the picture. Otherwise just open like a book and lie flat. Also dont forget that even if the tablet is upside down the orientation sensor will flip the image.
