Looks awesome! Great job!
I wouldnt be surprised to see people asking for these...
love it man. i bet you could sell them through xda easy
I'd buy one! You should put it on the XDA market. Looks amazing! Great work +1 +1 +1
Thanks...I could of made it nicer, I just did it during some free time at work today. But appreciate your commments thanks....maybe ill add some carbon fiber to make it more flashy
No kidding - you should sell those. Pretty nifty looking!

How do you get your Vibrant to display that screen when in landscape mode on the dock??? Is that some special app? Thanks.

I would pay for one. How much would you want?
Looks badass!
How much for one?
Thanks!
Thanks! I dont know if I would have time to make them to demand....but Ill try to make a couple just for fun...Ill keep you guys updated on that...as for price..I really wouldnt know...I figured whatever is cost of shipping plus a couple bucks.
Also only way I could make them is to set it for a naked vibrant since any cases would not aling with the micro usb due to size differences.
Edit 1: Also, Would you guys use your stock vibrant usb cable?
Edit 2: I could actually make simple docks without the charge port like this
Yea I'd use the stock usb cable, update when you have some available for sale

Yea same here
I would buy one. If your original one uses the stock USB connection I'd prefer that. I use the invisible shield so naked fit is fine as well.
On It!
Ok guys, I have started to work on some of these, I might have some done next week but not sure yet. Im also gonna make a couple simple ones like the one from a couple posts up... Ill update when I have some ready, thanks
nice dock, unfortunately my stock cable SUCKS. After a short while of using it, the cable no longer maintains a proper connection. I have to hold the connector at a certain angle or else it will disconnect, and sometimes even switch back and forth between connected and disconnected really fast causing problems for programs trying to access the sd card. I had to go out and buy a blackberry cable.
Sweet im definetly buying the one in your original post. honestly you've put the dock on samsung's website to shame lol

I kinda like the $1 one better for my desk... Clean, minimalistic look I guess.
dam that looks legit!
The angle is not steep enough to be useful for bedside though IMO. For a desk, yes...
Nightstand, no.

This one actually sucks!! Holds your Captivate great for the first couple of weeks, then you have to wash it and let it dry and then re use it else it keeps falling off... I have the Car mount and it is a serious waste of money!
cool. but ill stick to a shoe box
Three words: business card holder. At work I use a plastic one for my phone. I know the dollar store has wire mesh ones, could easily cut up an old mouse pad or something for padding/non-slip.

Everyone, I can not find a leather case with a built in bluetooth keyboard anywhere. Am I the only one looking for such a thing? The only things I have found after scouring is below. The first one would do but you have to buy in bulk.
Sorry the below are not hyperlinks as I am a new member and can not post them.

Thanks !!!
I was looking for the same thing. Give it some time. Companies don't want to release accessories for products that might not make it to the mass consumer. I'll keep my eyes peeled as well. Did you check the other posts about cases?
Sent from my Xoom using Tapatalk
no, you're not the only one. I want something like this too. I finally broke down and picked up moto's keyboard, which is good enough for now. It is pretty small.
still waiting as well... I started a thread about it a while ago too
How about this version?

Hey! Do you have any update on the case?
I found this on amazon, but of course it's for the iPad2... I sent an email to the seller asking if a Xoom version is planned. That might fit into a netbook bag still.
This is exactly what I am looking for. I have looked every where but haven't found anything yet. I'll post when I find something.
Gonna get involved in this post too since I've been looking for one. Emailed a couple manufacturers for current ipad keyboard cases but no resppnse yet.

Yeah, I get the feeling they don't care about a few hundred to a thousand Xoom users when they have hundreds of times the users with iPads... However, the first one brave enough to make a good quality case might get all the business!
This is what I'm waiting for, but I might return my Xoom if one doesn't come out soon or if some other easily portable keyboard solution isn't available. If that happens, I'll just get the Asus Transformer.

awesome!
Keep us posted on how things go!
Sorry, but that is ridiculous that that is 20 dollars. You can find one of those Bluetooth gamepads for that much, though I realize it can't be used with actual xoom games that use an onscreen d-pad.
If you could use this on a game like PewPew.... Id be in...
holy ****!!! we can finally buy these now! Ordering now!
definitely interested in a full review of this with the Xoom.
When i saw these a few months ago all I could think was:
This will be sick when i finally get a honeycomb tablet.
well, i got one now so....!

I ordered two of these a couple of months back for my GTablet. Works great on the Xoom, you will not be disappointed, though sometimes it takes a couple of tries to get it centered/setup the way you want. But I use mine daily.

They are made of plastic and are suprisingly sturdy for how much abuse I throw at them, I now use these every day.
on my Galaxy Tab for good measure, I hope they come out with a smaller variant for phones, I would buy them in a heartbeat.
i ordered better looking one from think geek. They are all metal and work great on my friends I pad. Once they get it tuesday ill take pics.

( lame, can't post links but google for JOYSTICK-IT )
Works awesome on huge variety of games! Got the double set for playing pew pew. Money well spent.
Thought I'd start a thread where we can discuss portable stands that you can carry with you all the time. This is the one I use and it works just fine with the Note in landscape mode. Link here.

I'm thinking about making a much thinner stand though which can be stored underneath the TPU cover I'm using.

Cool. I just tried with the paper clips I have at my desk, but they are way too small.
What is a "butterfly paperclip" ? Can you post a photo of one in its original form?

I have the icarpus which is pretty nice. Works great with the note.
And yea, that ebay stand was a complete dissapointment.

Totally agree. I have this one. Looks solid but not usable at all.
I use this as portable stand

And this as "usual" stand.

They hold Note very well.
Don't see reasons to spend much. The cheaper stands are quite satisfactory.
I love it...
This is what I use, simple, lighter and with thousands of different ways to use

Sorry if this has been posted before.
I have been looking around at desktop docks for easy access to my phone while its on a desktop under my window next to my sofa, I have been looking at this one
I was wondering if anyone has had any experience with it or could suggest something better, I will want to charge it via the dock and possibly connect it to my PC/laptop without having to remove the phone.
That'd be awesome to have.
The only thing bad about docks like the one posted in OP, is that your phone case might be too thick, and you wouldnt be able to connect it properly. there are other non specific stands out there that can hold any phone size, and then you just plug in a micro USB cable.
personally, I use this on my desk. works perfect, and it allows me to set my tablet or whatever device im using, on the stand, and then i just plug it in.
http://www.bracketron.com/products/mobile-dock-dash-mount
might not be the prettiest thing, but it works exactly how i need it to. and you cant see the stand at all once a device it sitting on it.

EVERYWHERE.
you have to add a metal plate (i put mine between the battery and the cover.. it is pretty darn thin) and then have one of these at my desk at work, my nightstand and in my car. I just slap the phone on it, and grab it off. secure, doesn't slide around, but super quick to take off. for tha cabling part, yeah.. i have a cable ziptied to it to charge if i need to.
I bought this one http://smartphonepedia.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-desktop-charging-dock.html It SUCKS. Waste of $20.00 IMO
I like the Samsung one but It needs a spare battery charger for me to pay $50.00
This is the one I'd buy right now. http://www.mugen-power-batteries.com...ery-slot.html#
Nice to see some suggestions, of what, and what not to get. I saw some bad reviews of the official one so I decided to see what this wonderful community can say about this and other options, for the charging docks another thing needed would be it needs to know when the phone is charged as well (like the normal adapter) so I don't destroy the battery lol.
Keep the options coming
