Looking for one or two decent ones. Not planning to use a case all the time, although I did order a cheap TPU case off of ebay to use occasionally.
This one looks interesting. Like the combo of the metal look with the black. And I like that I can charge a spare battery. Anybody tried it?

Sorry. I had seen that thread awhile back, but didn't pop it up in search for some reason. I don't see this particular cradle in that thread, though.
Ya, that thread has fallen a few pages in, but figured it might help, lots of discussions of different docks in there. I posted in there about my experience with a dock from ebay seller nakedcellphone, which ends up being the same thing from oriongadgets in the androidcentral forum link I posted too. It's also a cradle with a spare battery charger, and I really like it. Has a nice support that holds the phone (no case) instead of some of the docks that don't have much more support than the micro usb connector alone, which I would worry about with that dock that you posted. Just got some cheap Chinese ebay batteries from tuttoit today that lots of folks have said good things about, so this will be my first time trying the spare battery charger, but all in all, I think it's a great dock.

I purchased a universal car charger from Frys for $6.00 the week the phone came out and never really used it till today. While it was charging it felt really hot, I looked at the temperature and it went from 89F. to 129F. in less than five minutes. Has anybody else had any luck with a non Samsung car charger? I really don't want to pony up for the Tmobile one and prefer to buy one under $10 if possible. Or do you think the temperature is fine on the current one I have?
i got this one for like $5 a while back. works great.
Also, check out monoprice.com. you can essentially build one for cheap.
Inexpensive and Car Charger is never a good combo. I never understood why people would drop so much on a phone then cheap out on the charger. Cheap chargers don't last very long and can actually damage your battery.
+1 to what speoples said...although it was a while back, i once fried my phone's charging circuit using the cheap car charger. i never use them after what happened.
I got few of these when meritline have them on sale for 80 cents/each. Forgot how much voltage it put out when I measured it but it's good enough for a USB charger and stable.

Does any one know if there are conductive chargers compatible with the Vibrant? I love the idea of having a power mat next to my bed to reduce some of that cable clutter.
Sent from my SGH-T959 using XDA App
I think you mean inductive, and I don't think so. That would need to be built into the phone somehow to support wireless charging. Perhaps a replacement back cover? The only known power input is the usb though, so it would be difficult to build.

They have cases for it to adapt it to the iPhone. I don't see it being too hard to produce one for the vibrant. Maybe even a back cover adapter...

The iPhone cases cup the bottom and plug in. Not sure I want to add more length or width to my phone, personally. A replacement back that patched directly to the battery would work, for me. Of course, the phone wouldn't know about the charging, that would be a little weird - wonder if it would mess with the battery calibration.
Shoot i thought it was conductive. Well that sucks, I think I might just look for a dock then. =(
While browsing through some korean video that lead me to their site , I saw the following cases:

Having a Nilkin barely there case already, I quite like the idea and would like to find a "wallet" that can hold my phone with the case on, and some credit cards.
The idea is to avoid going to business meetings holding a phone, a wallet, a laptop, a namecard holder. I also think it's pretty cool to show off that a phone can fit into such a wallet.
I tried the original samsung leather pouch, but it's such a tight fit for the phone with a case on, that it's impossible to use any other of its pockets.
However, I've no idea how I can order or buy from the above site, so would like to pool everyone here for suggestions on alternatives.
Any suggestions on pouches/wallets or manufacturers that I may look at?
Currently thinking of even looking at Prada's lady long wallets (that looks more masculine)..
I've always kind of been intrigued by the idea of a phone wallet too, but they always end up looking a lot like a clutch purse, like here, or put the card holders in the back, which blocks the camera.
it looks nice but i will probably drop the phone while getting out the cash.
Nice if you're a lady.
I want something that will plug directly into a micro USB phone. I'm aware of the multitudes of this design:

I had one, thought it was garbage, it made an irritating noise both charging and discharging, its connection was hit and miss as bumping it might disconnect it, and eventually less than 6 months later it stopped working. It was advertised as a 2800mAh but its charge was extremely poor. Yet, those are the only type of chargers I can find, all from various companies using the exact same design.
The Motorola P790 is ideally the type of thing I'm looking for, it even comes with a slide out USB so it can't get damaged, but it's no good since it's a mini USB and would require packing around cords:
I'm not looking for a mega charger, one charge or so is fine as I'm not trying to carry around more than a second phones weight in a charger. I find it extremely odd that with so many phones out there, there hasn't been a decent micro USB charger without cords that I can find.
Does anyone have any suggestions?
Hello,
inspired by a thread I saw last week in the LG XDA forum where a guy was showing a custom cradle + charger made by LEGO for his phone I decided to find the old LEGO box and to create something for myself, remembering the old days 2 decades ago when i was young and played a lot with these ingenious small bricks and pieces So, here's the outcome, tell me if you like it and be inspired to do something by yourself and share it here, I'll be very glad if I make at least one person to do the same and feel the nice nostalgia to the old days
P.S. The QI charger part is actually working very well and charging the phone fast enough, even though the positioning is not the best. I used a cheap flee market QI charger, which i disassembled and took only the charging unit, totally removing the casing. It's sandwiched between the LEGO plates and is pretty well held in position, not requiring any additional fixing. If you want to, i can make more detailed pictures of how i fixed it into place.

Very nice! If only I still had my massive bucket of bricks, I'd make one of my own!
HAHAHAHA!!! Too cool!! :good:
