Just to share an excellent QC 3.0 car charger. I bought it along with the Axon 7. It is fast, even when using an old micro-USB cable+adapter, and it doesn't heat up even after more than 30 mins of charge. It also has another USB port for standard 5V USB allowing up to 3.1 amps at the same time through the second USB socket. It is also inexpensive and fits perfectly into the 12V car socket, with that I mean that It doesn't come out with vibrations. So no no-battery surprises when using navigation software. In my case the blue light ring fits perfectly to the color of the rest of the dashboard lights. And it is also very small.

I am quite happy with it and I wanted to share this very positive experience with the community.

Is anyone familiar with a charging stand, either a plain dock or a clock/radio unit, that has a long enough microUSB end that can charge the Note II with a case? Two cases that I have are extremely thin, but I haven't found a charging stand of any type that will allow a connection with a case on the phone. The Samsung Multimedia dock works fine with a naked phone, but I don't want to have to take a Dremel to it to get it to connect to a phone in a case.

Do you mean this kind of dock station? My mum bought one from DSstyles. It is easy to use and charge up the phone quickly.
So, I got bored of waiting for a wireless charging dock and took matters into my own hand. Used:
Nokia DT-900 wireless charger
3 sheets of cardstock
Glue
It doesn't looks too shabby:

Holds the Nexus 7 well:
Side piece can be pulled to the side....
So the Charging pad can be removed/replaced if need be.
Can't wait to get a case in and test it with one on
I should have been more detailed in starting, only the supports were planned out, the rest was done on the fly, but I might try making a blueprint of it in a few days if it stands up so others can make one and just modify the charging port for other Qi chargers.
Ever since I did the "mod" and installed my Super Engineer II band on my Moto 360, I was trying to find a way to charge the watch at the office and not have to keep bringing my stock charger back and forth.
And this is what I came up with...
Nokia charger 18USD. Random bracket, I think from a window blinder kit, free... Double sided tape [free-had some in my drawer] and this is what I came up with. Pretty cool travel charger imo. You can substitute double sided tape with Velcro to quickly detach the bracket from the charger. Quick and cheap, especially if you have a nokia charger collecting dust lol.

Just done a test here in mid-January's California hazy sunshine. I took a 30% charged N5 and began charging off a 2A mains charger and let it run for a while, then unplugged and plugged into a solar panel and let that run then from the screenshot you see the steepness of the charging is the same, so solar can be as fast as mains power. Look in detail you see a small dip in the charging when unplugged it but the before/after lines are parallel.
This solar panel on sale for $43 at the moment.
Works on my N7 2013 too, charged it fast.

This wall charger hasn't disappointed me and I'll bet it wont for you
Its a really good up-to-date kind of charger with not only a advanced look but for the fact
it charges your devices faster up to 75% then your normal regular charger. I'd say this is better :good:
then the original chargers I got for my LG Realm and Alcatel One Touch f2.
More to the fact this wall charger has ,not one, but TWO usb slots. Two devices charging faster then
just one. Its like killing two birds with one stone. :highfive:
I strongly recommend this! It even comes with a cute blue LED light in the usb slots.
