I think I found the perfect stand!

http://placewiz.com/Stand.php
Just got it set up with my GT 10.1. The beauty of the stand is the fact that I can have my Samsung Book Cover Case installed on the tab, have the charging cable plugged into the bottom of the tab, and have the tablet on the stand with the volume controls and 3.5 jack on the top. Almost every stand I have found did not have enough room for the connector to be installed while placed on the stand, but this one fixed that for me, at a grand total of $10 on ebay!

Galaxy Tab with stand, charging.

wow that is so awesome!

seems nice... how sturdy is it? did you try any other stands or was this the first one you got?
personally I dont need the ability to charge it while on the stand, so sturdiness is the name of the game for me, so i've been thinking about the Arkon but maybe this is even better... just curious if you tried the Arkon out also?

Regarding how sturdy it is... for me, it's perfectly fine. The problem I found is I keep my desk clean with pledge, which makes the surface too slippery and the stand itself doesn't have any way to grip. I think I will just stop down at the local hobby store and find some sort of rubber strip I can put on the feet of the stand to have it stop sliding. Besides that, I only get a minor wobble when tapping the screen, but only at the top, and only if I press abnormally hard. For $10 you can't beat it.

nice 10char

Just bought one.

That looks really nice.

I have the Arkon, it's very sturdy, very adjustable. It's made of some sort of hard plastic/polymer, with foam cushion layer on the bottom so it doesn't slide and where it touches the tablet. The only issue is the tablet sits too low for the charge connector in landscape mode.

lol, it is a rabbit

Droidax EzyCharge Wireless Charging Kit Review

Got this in the mail a few days ago and decided I'd write a summary review for you guys just in case you're looking to charge your GS3 wirelessly. The kit includes a protective case that doubles as a back up battery for when you're on the go. The color is deep blue that matches the GS3 pretty closely except its done in a matte finish. Its a bit slick but not as slick as the phone is without anything on it so overall its not too bad. Has a button on the back that when pressed once checks the charge of the internal battery and when held down activates the actual recharge so you can juice up whenever you want.
From a protective viewpoint its not the greatest considering some of the sides are exposed as well as some of the top, not sure why they did it that way but its not great for face down protection. I would definitely recommend a screen protector. The charging pad itself uses the Qi standard so you can use it with the new Nexus 4, Windows 8 phones or if you decided to hack the back cover and insert a coil you can use it to recharge as well. They do sell the pad seperately if you don't need the case so thats always good. The pad itself feels great and smooth just like the GS3 does and the finish is nearly identical in color and touch to the capacitive button area of the phone. It only fits one phone at a time and obviously you'd probably like to find one specific spot to keep it so you don't have to lug it around from room to room or between work and home. I did a full review with a ton more details at the link below but that pretty much sums everything up.
Full written review can be found here: http://bit.ly/T4crrk
Check out pics of the kit below:

By the way, just found out Droidax is going to have a massive Black Friday sale with up to 75% off its accessories. Took a screen grab of the details.

I guess the Black Friday sale was extended.....you can buy this guy for $60 right now.

[Idea] Wireless charger mod without altering the phone at all

I dont know anything about electronics but.... Can an power bank case be modded by attaching the wires of the inductor module to the male micro usb part of the case .... http://www.dhgate.com/product/3000m...battery-case/140149386.html#s1-8-1|3772011264 I think something like this would be a good candidate.... or better yet is there a case for n7000 like the iphone ones that act like a dock with built in speakers....etc it would be even better
Note: if any one goes commercial with this ... I want a cut of the action..... LOL

I just bought exactly that case with modding in mind, as built-in battery is almost non existant. I'm waiting for Palm charging kit and soldering iron - will be reporting progress or failure as soon as possible.

After some dremel action and removal of original battery.
The hole needed to be a little bit bigger than battery, to allow some space for sliding into "craddle" inside the case without breaking anything.
With said battery for comparision. Producer claims it's 3000 mAh. I respectfully disagree, after few days of regular charge/discharge cycle this sleeve battery as able to add about 30% to original Samsung cell. Not good enough.
So I jammed in extended Mugen pack and am a sort of crossroads here.
I can connect to the cases old wiring another battery pack or wireless charging coils or maybe, somehow, both. Anyway, it's work in progress and at least my Notes usb port is save >]
On semi related note, this is tempting..

Any updates?

No update still now.

Want to say anything?

Could Galaxy S3 use Qi wireless charger?

Anybody use it, please give some suggestion.

I use it on my S3. The charging speed is not that fast compared to USB, which I think is well-known. The back cover gets a bit warm also, and I have an Otterbox Commuter case as well, which gets a little bit warm also. It charges just fine through the case.
This is the one that I ordered, as it came with the charging pad and receiver for the phone.

Hope this helps!

I have one of the first gen receiver pads and it charges faster than USB but slower than AC.
check ebay. use search terms like "i9300 qi reciever"
just get the reciever pad.
the best charger pad imo is the nokia ones. they're regularly on sale from 20 -25 bucks for the most part. just do some searching online.

Any Wireless charging system or standard that has the two contacts to fit the contacts that are in the Battery compartment and fits will work....A wireless Standard isn't built into the phones, just the Transmitter and Receiver Coils....

QI wireless charging is nice... However I notice the connector from the QI receiver will interfere with the smart cover slot anyone?

look what i found^^

You can find a quality charger kit on ebay... just to be safe... look for "Top Rated Seller" and someone with high feedback score to be safe..

oh, and because i'm such a sweetheart:
http://slickdeals.net/f/6904263-nok...e-in-black-or-white-new-bulk-18-free-shipping
18 bucks for a really decent charging pad. I have 2. one for my bed side and one on my desk.

This one works great with mine and I have the lifeproof case on it.

Of course you can not break yusb port, only one drawback - the phone longer charged

Can I mount the phone to a magnetic car mount with no magnet?

I've read the S8 versions are pretty magnetic and doesn't need to stick an extra magnet on the back. Is this true for the S9/+?

most likely. my s8 sticks without a metal plate on the phone. im pretty sure its the wireless charging coil in the phone that is magnetic and allows the car mount to work without a case or metal plate added. since the s9 will have wireless charging it should be the same way.

I have one of the cheap ball type ones, this type is definitely not strong enough and my S9 glides right off (with or without slim case). Maybe a more expensive one with better magnets would hold it.

I have a S9 case, which has metal plates embedded so that I don't need to stick anything on the phone back and use magnetic car mount, also it's wireless charging friendly.

Yes https://www.ipitaka.com/collections...m_source=XDA&utm_medium=lily&utm_term=S9 case, to be honest, it's my favorite case so far.

Seconded on the ipitaka case - I just got it and Love it, before I had a SUPCASE ($15 off amazon) with the metal ring in between the phone and the case and it bulged the case out a bit. The ipitaka case has a very premium feel, I like it a lot better, and it sticks to my wireless charger MUCH better
