Official Samsung/Google Accessories?

Are Samsung/Google going to be releasing official accessories for the GN? If so, anyone got any links to any?

I found this over at htcpedia.
Not sure if it's a rumor or not, but if it's true, I am happy, a car dock and multimedia dock are exactly the accessories I was hoping for.
(Sorry to the mods if linking to htcpedia is against forum rules, if it is, feel free to edit.)

I really want the dock with the pins. That's what I miss most from the Nexus One.
I'm always on-call and it's a hell-of-a-lot easier to pick it up off the dock in the middle of the night to answer a call when it's just resting on pins.

I'm actually after an OEM pouch/case. Always buy OEM as the fit is always perfect, couldn't care less about a dock as my phone is a phone - not a multi-media device
Thanks for the link btw

i want to see the official photos themselves and till then i won't buy any dock.
i'd like to buy the dock we all saw in the keynote, the dock that uses the pogo pins.

Car dock uses the pins, the desk dock uses the usb for the HDMI out both were due over a week ago and are now late.

Careful...... As I posted in the battery thread, the US version of the Galaxy Nexus & the UK version are different with different MODEL numbers. Verizon version is bigger (fatter) and the accessories are NOT interchangeable. Make sure you purchase the accessories for the model # you have.

Unlike other docks, the genuine Samsung Desktop Dock for the Galaxy Nexus has been designed to be used in both portrait and landscape orientations.

can i connect MHL cable to the mini-USB in the back of the desktop dock?
when the phone is in the dock, there is a space to connect the mini-USB cable in the phone itself?

Sturdy car mount for Galaxy S2, with Case mate tough and doesnt cover the camera

Hi Guys
I am really struggling to find what I am looking for and am hoping someone might be able to help me.
I have a Galaxy S2 that has an 2000mah extended battery installed and a Case Mate Tough case.
I am looking for a sturdy car mount that will allow me to leave the case on but also does not cover the camera lens.
Any suggestions?
(PS.. the reason I dont want to take the case off each time is that to get the extended battery to fit under the tough case you have to leave the phone back off or it doesnt fit.

No one had any suggestions at all?

Having used quite a few car mounts I found the Tetrax Xway by far the best. Takes absolutely no effort to put your phone onto the mount and you can also use it for any next phone / tablet that you buy. It's also extremely sturdy, yet easy to take out the phone.
Wanted to link to the product, but since I am a new user I cant.. Lots of stuff you can find on youtube though. Try the galaxy tab one if you really want to be convinced of its sturdyness
Only downside is that you have to stick something to the back of your phone(case). Hasn't really bothered me though, but some people are a little OCD on aesthetics.
Edit:
One thing I forgot to mention is that this mount is also very easy to remove and should fit in almost any car since it uses the car vents. Very easy to install + remove.

exomount here. had mine ages, no lack of grip, survives a car with 20year old suspenion (classic mini) driving over terrible pot holed roads (Wales...).
We even fitted it to my brother's Rallycross car for some in car footage.

There's a Garmin rubber Base that you could place upon the Car Tableau the good thing about it that the device won't shake and move a lot while driving

[Q] & [A]:Will GT fit in Keyboard or Multimedia Dock with Samsung Book Case Cover?

[Q] & [A]:Will GT fit in Keyboard or Multimedia Dock with Samsung Book Case Cover?
For those of you interested.
I bought my SCH-i905 GT used and it came with the Belkin case. I never really liked the Belkin case as it added a lot of weight and girth to the Galaxy Tab. It also never fit correctly and made the button hard to access.
With the HHGregg deal, I purchased both the Samsung keyboard and Multimedia Dock. To use these devices the GT had to be removed from Belkin case, very annoying.
From all the reviews and videos I had watched, the best case for me seemed to be the Samsung Book Cover Case. But no one could answer my question:
[Q] Will GT fit in Keyboard or Multimedia Dock with Samsung Book Case Cover?
[A] Well I can finally answer this question myself. My wife got me this case for my Birthday and here are my findings. No you can not fit the GT device with the book case cover in either the KB or MM dock. Poor design planning on Samsung's part.
Fortunately, there is a simple work around for the Samsung KB. The device will fit with the cover if you pull out the device holder.
As far as the the MM dock, it think I'm going to cut it up with a dremel to get the GT to fit with the cover on. I'll update this thread if and when I get it done.

Thank you for posting this. I came searching with the exact same question because I want to buy the keyboard, but only if it fits with a case. It's a shame the Samsung keyboard does act more like the ASUS Transforme keyboard...
Looking forward to your update about the charging dock

Update #1 - Multimedia Dock
I started looking in doing the modification to the MM dock but found a much simpler solution. The portion of the MM dock that holds the device can be easily removed. With the cover folded over it stabilizes the Tab.

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^^

notice there is 2 connection on the smart cover.. the QI receiver use same slot...
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

Sure, I am doing it since some weeks ago. I even designed and 3D printed and QI charging base:

Very interesting...
Can you tell me which of the two connectors on the left side is for plus (+) and which is for ground?
I am thinking about installing a Qi receiver.

Did you directly place the cell phone on the charger or you had installed a special cover (like s view cover) to charge the cell phone?

Is the wireless receiving plate already in the phone, rather than on the s-view cover? I dont see any special charging cover on the OP's phone, though I cant see if its charging or not?

I tried to install a charging pad in my Note 3 Neo.
After several tries I think the two connectors will not work as charging connectors.
In my opinion, they are used only to identify the S-View Cover.
After installing a Qi-receiver the charger recognized the charging pad, but there was no charging massage on the phone.
My S-View Cover didn´t work with installed charging pad.
The pictures above show only the charging station. On the display ist no indicator for charging.
So I believe, that it is not possible to charge the Note 3 Neo via Qi.
If someone has a wirking Qi-Charger I am very interested in this solution.

I can see in your Google Plus photo that you are using a Galaxy S III receiving module. How did you managed to make it fit. Does it fits natively, or did you have to make some adjustments to it? How is the back cover coming, any extra thickness in there? Please share more details (with pics:laugh.
