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

[Q] Folding smart case with secure closing cover?

I'm looking for a thin light attractive folding smart case for mt G10.1
Ive narrowed it down to 2 but I am open to others.
some of the things I am looking for..
Hard case back. and the ability to prop it at a slight angle for typing on a desktop or 45 ish degree for watching movies ect.
well protected edges
also the ability to prop it with the tablet upside down so i can use the Dock connecter for USB/Memory cards
the 2 that fit the bill are the Samsung hard case and the Ebay Smart covers.
I really Like the looks of the official Samsung case & the way it shuts securely though I am not sure how the areas it bends at will hold up over time, especially at the price they go for. It also doesn't seem like its very stable when propped up on a desk at a slight angle ( for typing )

The alternative are the Ebay smart covers with a hard back.
not really fond of the color schemes they come in but they arent bad. the price is good, I like the way it props up but I dont know if Ive seen any with a cover that shuts securely. Does anyone know of any ?

I have this one from Amazon and it has held up fine for the last 4 months...
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005PC7VG4/ref=oh_o02_s00_i00_details
I don't know if it meets all your criteria, but the price is good, the quality is very good, and it works.

The ebay one doesn't, I have one and the cover just flaps around but at the price it is what would you expect? The covers magnetic for creating a triangle for upright viewing but doesn't hold itself against the screen when covering it.

Thanks. Mine just showed up today. fits nice and snug. all the cut outs are where needed. I like everything other than it not closing securely, but as you said for the $ its still a good deal.
Im sure I can come up with something. I just need to make sure it looks nice and not slopped on

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

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^^

I
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

[How-To] Use Magtron adapter with Devilcase

So I bought my red and shiny Devilcase after my screen shattered while using a beloved Rockit flipcase.
This is for anyone that want to use a Magtron adapter with a cover that is not compatible.
Tools needed:
- Sandpaper/Dremel tool (see picture)
- Patience
Optional:
- Fine grain sandpaper
Step one:
- An image is worth a thousand words so follow instructions in the given picture.
Step Two (optional):
- Use fine sandpaper (800 to 1200) to apply desired level of polish.

As you can see my result is not very polished because I don't really care about the look of the adapter, I need it to work and I don't wanna risk to damage the goddamn flap every time I charge the phone.

TESTED IT WITH DEVILCASE AND Z3C.

hey mate, I've got the black devilcase on my Z3C atm and was actually just the other day considering purchasing one of these adapters. So thanks for posting this, looks like a simple mod. (I've already got a dremel).
Do you have a set of verniers handy? It would be cool to know how many millimeters I need to shave off, although in your photos it looks like about 1mm?

Glad it helped! 1mm around the plugs and 0.5mm below the plugs. Make few tries, if you sand too little you can sand a bit more, if you sand too much you may face a problem. It takes 5 minutes with a Dremel.

Nice!
Im now buying the Z3C and havent got the magnetic adapter/cable yet.
Im planning to use DevilCase too..is there any cable or adapters(preferably) that fits well without enhancements?

I am currently using this cable with the devil case. Fits perfect. Only reason I'm looking at the adapter is I'm planning to make a car cradle that charges the phone

Expensive! aren't there adapters maybe?

Sure is, the ones referenced in the first post.
