Is there one out or could one from Tab 10.1 be used instead? Accessories selection seems rather light at the moment so I thought I'd ask. Thanks.
I used a jigsaw to take off the corners of the tab 10.1 desktop dock (bought it for $3.82 @ hhgregg). It works great.

Can you take a close up pic of the modification u made? I'm not beyond a little hardware hackery to make an available dock work.
Do you guys think this Tab 2 10.1 Desk Dock would work with Note 10.1 by any chance?

The old universal dock EDD-D100 fits. It has an audio jack, but no HDMI builtin. But you can link the HDMI-Adapter EPL-3PHP between the power supply and the dock to add HDMI output to the dock.
I haven't tested the audio jack, but HDMI output works.
(As a new user, I'm not allowed to post links here yet, but you can easily google the items with their product number.)
Here's a few picks of both the regular desktop dock and the keyboard dock. The keyboard dock required some sanding to get the note to fit but the desktop dock just required trimming around the edges. The tools I used were a jigsaw and some sandpaper.

I find it disappointing that Samsung doesn't create a dock that has HDMI out so you don't have a cluster of cables/adapters. USB ports would be nice too.

Seems I saw this keyboard/dock for the Note 10.1 on the european site. I have the one for the Tab10.1 and am still deciding whether to mod it or not.
I also want a replacement for my samsung folio/keyboard.....no mod will make that fit right
In the meantime, bought a folio/keyboard off Amazon by iLuv. Unlike on the iLuv site, the seller on amazon lied and said it was for the note as well as tab 10.1 and tab 2 10.1. It works but really doesn't fit right and I will probably return it.
Early adopter hell, eh?
Yea I'm just buying a sleeve for now until we have some quality keyboard cases out

Did you take the black part off to cut it? There doesn't seem to be an easy way to take this thing apart unless there are screws hidden under the friction pads (which I'd like to avoid removing). Can you specify where and how much you had to sand to get it to fit? I trimmed the edges quite a bit with my Proxxon (like a Dremmel) but it doesn't seem to want to go down all of the way and I'm not sure what's keeping it from connecting.

I was just going to edit my post with that...let's see what kind of damage I can do now =)
Update: It seems that the "sanding" (or carving with a Proxxon) needs to be done at the bottom of the tray. I kind of regret carving off a few layers from the back support.
The additional work need for this mod beyond the giving it more horizontal space only makes me dislike those litigious jerks at apple even less. The squared off edges have to be a result of that for this and the tab 2.
Finally got around to modding mine. used a dremel. Didn't just chop the ends off, as I was trying to preserve the look. but having to dig that groove out was a real pain and lead to various other scuffs. Would love to have a fresh go at it after learning what it took, to do it more cosmetically pleasing, but with the note in it, it still looks pretty good

I,too, am using my old galaxy 10.1 universal dock for my note. Works well.
I just cut the edges of the guide(that black thing) from the P7500 keyboard dock but that connector doesn't fully go inside the tablet, any ideas?
Does the HDMI from the Tab media docks work with the Note?

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.

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...

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.

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.

This is a follow up to my 'Where are the car docs?' Thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1341625 )
Rolled the dice and I got this one:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/viewitem?itemId=120801509015
To summarize my purchase: meh, it will do for now.
For starters, I have a mini clubman and there aren't tins of mount locations for a dock. Basically look at the pics to see where I put it. I knew going into the purchase that I might wind hacking and grafting the phone tray on to a mounting arm that I use for my N1 and then SGT.
One bright spot about this doc is that it isn't an exact fit tray; so it should work OK once I get a case for my SGN. That is, I don't think I will need to take my SGN out the case to put in car dock.

The best kind.
Funny, I have a r56 and the official samsung mount for my note, have it in the same spot. Its .. ok.. I would like it to be a bit lower, it certainly broadcasts whatever I'm looking at to any cars in the area. I have the same problem, nowhere else to mount.
I have the official car dock for my SGT. The fixed mount arm appears same or very similar to the pics I have seen of the SGN dock. I couldn't find a good way to position my SGT dock on speedo where it didn't totally obfuscate the speedo. Thus I grafted the tray to a 6" flex mount I had from my n1.
I didn't opt for the real one as I only really want the phone tray and didn't think the SGN one would be any more flexible about where I could mount it.
So does yours totally block your view to the speedo and guages?
(I too feel near by cars can totally see my screen, maybe less so with my SGN than SGT)

Ya totally blocks the use of the speedo, gas, and warning lights. I use the tachometer LCD for sleedo. Its just to high and in my face, I don't really use my CD player so my plan is to ditch the suction cup and arm, use the mount/dock horizontally infront of the CD and just covering the volume a little. Zero idea how I'm going to do that haha but if I do I will post up some pics.
Small update : been using this setup for a week or so. . . Working well. . .
I got a case recently :

O_O man that printer is just insane. I've seen one in action and in some cases they have them in stores where you can just go an pay a certain amount for the object your printing
3D printers are amazing, and have really come down in price. I remember the first laser printers were in the $5000 and up range... ($5000 on the lower end as I recall)
And now, you can print in 3D ......... soooo cool.

You should do the inductive charging mod for your phone with the Pre back cover and fabricate a car mount for the S3 with a slot to slide a touchstone into it.
Oh yeah, I'd want one. I'm hoping for something similar when Samsung eventually gets around to releasing their official inductive charging kit unlike the Verizon only one that Big Red just released.
That's a really nice docking station for the Moto btw.

Well if it's something that I think sounds cool I would probably just make it and send you one for free- the material isn't exactly cheap but it's definitely not expensive, either. The design time sometimes takes a while (2-10 hours), though, depending what it is. But yeah just throw down some ideas.
I'm also up to do custom orders for relatively cheap (~$20/hr design time, $3 per ounce printed). You can see some stuff I've done here, here, and here.

After I hacked my bionic for wireless charging I tried designing part of a phone back (my first print + first design ever, so it looks terrible). Even now that I'm pretty good with the printer & designing things, I don't think it has quite the precision for the fine interlocking mechanism required for the phone back to snap to the phone.
Also, you can see the fine bead of the print so it doesn't look as smooth as china-factory-printed-plastic. (see photo from first post) - so it's better for docks and things like that.

The makerbot replicator has worked extremely well for me! ($1700). It will do 50+ prints without an issue, and until last week the only fixes I had to do were replacing the tape on the platform and cleaning out the extruder's motor. (last week the motherboard blew, but they immediately shipped me a new one free of charge, and now I'm running again).
OK so let me get this right - you have right angle cables and you'd like something to snap onto the phone to essentially cover both cables so it is
a) more comfortable to hold in landscape
b) protects the jacks from damage
is that about right? or do you want it to snap onto the cables themselves

Yes I can print most things, even if there's an overhang (it just requires wasting plastic to print support material). Creating a design is pretty easy in Google's (actually Trimble just bought it) free program Sketchup. You can send me the file or an STL exported from any other 3d modeling software.

I got the Makerbot Replicator for the customer support. With relatively premature technology, I think it's worth it to spend a few bucks extra to get awesome support. They answer requests on weekends and will replace any broken parts promptly & free of charge.
However, I would probably try out the Solidoodle, as it is super cheap and looks good. I do feel bad supporting the company as the founder used to work at Makerbot and literally just stole their business model.

You should do the inductive charging mod for your phone with the Pre back cover and fabricate a car mount for the S3 with a slot to slide a touchstone into it.
Oh yeah, I'd want one. I'm hoping for something similar when Samsung eventually gets around to releasing their official inductive charging kit unlike the Verizon only one that Big Red just released.
That's a really nice docking station for the Moto btw.

Thanks man. You must have seen my other post where I hacked my phone previously for wireless charging?
Not really sure I see the value to it being wireless charging if it's gonna stay stationary in a navigation dock, though? Would it be for device flexibility (so I wouldn't have to redesign it when I get a new phone)?
I'd like a dock that accepts the phone in a case and also works in landscape

Actually didnt know about your previous mod lol.
Was more or less just thinkin aloud (or in text i should say) about a type of of car dock Id like to see for this and future devices. Im a little tired of buying 2-3 new docks (home, car, office) everytime I get a new phone in all honesty.
Would love for a slim universal car dock with inductive charging. Cable can be pulled from the inductive charging pad/touchstone for devices that require being physically plugged in. Makes things simple. Just get in the car, put the device in the dock quickly without worrying about fumbling wires or which side is your port on etc. When you get out just grab the phone. no worrying about wires, bending the usb connector cause you pulled at a wierd angle etc. you know?
Just figured the touchstone + mod would be a nice cheap base to start with for concepting over a $100ish inductive pad. Maybe even stick a laminated rewritable nfc tag in the center with a nice logo on it to program for carmode/ nav/ music or whatever as soon as you dock it. Maybe even make the dock itself detachable and usable as a desktop dock aswell... Ok ok lemme pause my brain for a lil while. I can keep going on and on about this stuff... lol
I am a mechanical engineer and do alot of 3D work in solidworks. I can sketch things up in 3D if people have an idea.
Could the OP use solidworks or step files to automatically print these? I would really like it to design docks and stand if I know the gap margibs from this markerbot

I have an idea for a case for the sgh-i747. Just a simple 2 piece snap together case. Nothing fancy. Would be nice to see how that material holds up to some of the others I have.
I guess any clamshell style case would work as a template if you could do that and send it it to OP. I have looked for 3d dimensions for them and can't find anything for it.
Thank you

Think you could make a stand for me? I just need one that my phone could sit horizontally, and I'd just plug it in to my MHL adapter. How much would that cost?

Looking for a good keyboard/cover for my Note 10.1 that lets me use the docking connector (charge/OTG while typing) but so far nearly everyone one I've seen has the note rest flush against the bottom of the case so I cant access the port. Is there one on the market that keeps the note raised up enough to use the connector without turning the note upside-down (which makes the wake/volume buttons and the headphone jack inaccessible)

Did you consider the Samsung keyboard dock. It works great for me!
You do know that you can position it so the port is on the top?

yeah but they stopped making them due the fact that they weren't as popular. i purchased one off of ebay and i think it's amazing
I am just using the Universal Dock - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B007UOXV3W with a bluetooth keyboard and mouse as a compromise. I have the Poetic cover - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008YZ8VL8 which can stay on with the stand in use.

That's what I do, too. Also, I have the Samsung Book Cover and the Note fits in the dock with it on.
I only wished I'd've bought more than one of these when I had the chance: Motorola Wireless Keyboard and Trackpad. It's perfect for traveling (I keep one in a keepcase that I carry the note around in). It's thin, has a cover that doubles as a stand, integrated trackpoint mouse and charges via MicroUSB. Picked up one on sale for $40 and haven't seen it that cheap since.
I had a galaxy tab 8.9 and still have the original Samsung keyboard dock. If you take out the black plastic insert (it pops out along the top edge), the Note10.1 fits in relatively well with the bookcase cover still on. The extra thickness of the cover actually works pretty well to support the tab given that the custom insert isn't in there.
Not perfect, but you can still pick up keyboard docks for the 8.9 or 7 relatively cheaply on Amazon. ($30 less than perfect vs. a $100 import from Asia)

I saw one of these on eBay, I agree it looks great but they wanted $100 for it, I coudl get probably 8 or 9 bluetooth keyboards for that cost...

This is basically what I'm looking at doing, except my folding case lifts the charging port off the table if I turn it facing out, watching some normal BT keyboards/mice on eBay (average cost $20-$30)

If that had an actual trackpad on it, I might bite, but I absolutely *hate* the "dots" (one of my laptops actually had it's dot missing the cover so it was unuseable - I never noticed I jsut used the trackpad)

I might try this, I've seen the Tab docks cheep, didn't know if they used the same pinout for the connector or not. (and now wondering if it's somehow using the USB OTG and a usb keyboard with a pass-through for power... might be able to take it apart and mod in a micro-hub connection if their room...)

Heh. Touchpads and Trackpoints are apparently polarizing; I'm quite the opposite (I can't stand touchpads and tend to disable them unless I don't have an external mouse )
Galaxy tab 8.9 works great!

Picked one up used off of Amazon for $16. With the book cover one, it is well supported. Android specific keys are great. Thanks for the suggestion!

Quick question - Does the blue light on the keyboard stay on when your Note is docked and charging? I thought mine did initially but now it doesn't consistently stay on. It also seems to charge slower (but that could just be my imagination).

I'm not sure - I never charge while it's in the dock. The blue light seems to come on intermittently for me - not sure why. At first I thought it was strictly for caps lock, but it is not consistent.

Can someone recommend a good, sturdy stand that has enough clearance to allow charging in portrait mode? I was looking at the iCrado Neo but from the pictures, it doesn't look like there's enough height/clearance on the bottom and the connector would hit the surface since the connector on the stock S3 charging cable is pretty long.
Would also prefer something that's pretty stable and won't tip and slide all over my desk when I'm pressing the screen. Also, not looking for a charging dock - just a stand. Any recommendations?
Anyone?
I think you should check craigsdocks.. i havnt got one myself yet but i only read good things about it.. they are handmade and very customizable.. u can make it fit for phones with cases or without, with extended battery,.. kinda everything you want.. and very good quality i think. Hopefully someone can confirm what i said

Looks nice but $68 is a little pricey for a desktop dock. Anyway, I'm not really looking for a dock - just a stand that allows you to charge the S3 in portrait mode.

The nice thing about the CraigsDocks dock is that it's customizable. If you get the Galaxy S4, it will still fit. Heck, it even fits the NOTE II and smaller phones.
So you buy one dock for the next several years & phones.
I have one in my car and it's far & away the best dock I've ever used. You just have to make sure you tighten down the adjustments real good so it doesn't loosen up.
