lol bastards! i ordered the clingo car dock kit 3 days ago!

Going to run by my sprint store to confirm this.

The SKQ and price have been known since launch, hopefully though they are finally shipping though. If it looks anything like this, I will be pleased.

So how do we know its really going to be here monday then?

OOO
I have the clingo in hand.
My phone fell off 3 times already and that was on the way to work in the AM. Not happy at all. And the Evo in case is too heavy for it...it droops...

60 bones! What does it come with? It doesn't even plug in when cradleing the phone. If I'm going to pay that much I'd at least like it to be dock like, not a suction cup wih arms!

For $60 bucks it better suck my.... Yeah anyway it better have a USB port in the unit.

I have to wait until Seidio's is available, since it will be designed to work with my extended battery. Still, that one does look nice if your stock. But $60? Seidio's isn't even that expensive.
They even have pics up, and its a real dock. http://www.seidioonline.com/product-p/ck17hev4c04.htm
I think the Seidio will beat this one hands down. It has a telescoping, adjustable swivel with locking screw, its a charger dock and it will fit with innocase, innocase II and extended batteries.

Tried to order and they said the SKU is valid, but there are NONE available and havent been yet....
so I highly doubt anyone is getting this monday.
Maybe next time.

Don't know what to tell any of you...call the spokane Washington Sprint store on Sullivan, the regional mgr said it was showing in stock, ready to ship to the stores next week...

not bad i guess but im keeping my soundgate for 5 bucks thanks to a member here that posted about it.
the soundgate i think is the best because in my truck the phone would be too far out of reach with the suction cup. i would literally have to lean up against my steering wheel to reach it. i like to lounge when im driving and watch a movie

So, did ya get it in today?

just found a supa good deal...

well...I guess it's all relative what a "good deal" is, but I got married on friday, graduate school in 3 weeks, and have yet to find a full time, salaried position with benefits. I'm currently turning a wrench in a shop as much as I can on weekends to make some $$, but the GI Bill has helped wonders.
In short, I stay strapped for cash. Never broke, but always lookin for a deal
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0...t=301&pf_rd_p=1263465782&pf_rd_i=898334029848
Came across this just now, and didn't even hesitate to order. I figured even if the whole package sucks, I paid under 10 bucks for expedited shipping. If it works out, I've got a case til I decide which nice one to get (OB or Seidio prolly...) and car charger (already have a decent screen protector). For 10 smackeroos, I'll take that risk
Either way...not trying to advertise, hope this isn't interpreted as such, I just figured this deal had to be shared!

Looks like a good deal to me. I don't like cases though. I like my.phone like my women... naked. The captivate is too pretty to hide behind a case.

I got this one last week, will be writing a reveiw soon. The case is good, the charger is ok but is not for a Captivate, the bag says is for a Motorola Razr and the screen protector can't say nothing because I am using a different one.

thanks for the info. that's pretty much about what I expected. I wasn't gonna worry about the screen protector, as I, like you, am using a different one, mainly i bought it 'cause i figgered it might work out to a cheap, halfway decent case, and a bonus charger

Ruggedized battery cover

Ok so I was asked to update this post. Some of the information found throughout the thread is below:
The battery cover can be found at: cnn.cn
(thank you NoNameAtAll from this post)
The cnn.cn part is just the case, no retail packaging (ie. no media dock adapter.)
jjwatmyself in post says that you remove the insert in the car dock and it will fit the atrix with the battery cover.
digital.aaron in post has some pictures with the cover on the phone.
jjwatmyself has some pictures here.
digital.aaron says in this post: it's very different from Otterbox's rubber. It hasn't picked up any fuzz from my pocket, and I've got on fleece sweatpants. Used to be a nightmare for my 'Box'd iPhone.
Some problems people were are having, the sides are flimsy (you get used to this) and the different colors seem to have different textures.
=============OLD POST===========================
I bought the atrix from AT&T and I ordered a ruggedized battery cover from some website for $30 w/ shipping. My question is as I have neither yet, does anyone have the cover and is it good? Does it feel like it will protect the phone a bit and help hold the phone in the hand?

I'd be interested in this too. Asked a while back and it seemed no one has tried them, because there were no responses. I don't want to spend $30 on one if it feels cheap or doesn't fit right

Well, if no one else has tried I already ordered it so when I get both phone and cover in I will update this thread. It might be a while as I am stationed in Japan so my mom will be sending me the phone Tuesday or Wednesday and it may take a week or two to get here.

oh by the way I ordered mine from After market Cellular. Anyone have any dealings with them, are they honest?
This is the specific one I bought:
http://www.aftermarketcellular.com/ic/89490N.html

I've been looking at one of these batter covers but several sites that I have checked show an estimated ship date or out of stock. Have you received a shipping confirmation for the battery cover yet?

These are rubberized battery covers and thus replace the stock plastic cover. They are from Motorola and are rumored to be out about April 15th. This is why several places show "out of stock", because they aren't out yet.

I have not recieved a shipping confermation, but the store was not showing them as out of stock r estimated shipping date. Now that a320ca said they are nto supposed to be out until the 15th I am worried that the store is a sham because it never told me that.

FYI, I just called them and they said they are out of stock of the Blue one. She asked if I wanted her to check stock on the Green one but I already knew what the answer would be. Store doesn't appear to be a sham but then again, you might want to look into your order if are expecting it sooner than later.

I hope there will be pictures of the cover when people get them. I an intensely eyeballing the green one.

I've also ordered one, from 123cellsupply.com.
I don't have a shipping confirmation yet, either. I've put in several emails to find out the status, but no response yet.

Does the ruggedized battery cover wrap around the front at all, to provide a small protective lip around the screen?
Has anyone actually seen one of these in person?

These are in stock in my local bell store for 29.95. I might consider getting one of these

Really? Where's your local Bell? In the GVA by any chance? I ordered one from Bell online, because it didn't seem like there were any in stock in the Bell stores here in Vancouver... Admittedly, I didn't try very hard to find them.
But my order is still pending, turns out they're out of stock online...

Can someone show me a link?
I have googled and not found nothing related to what I think you guys are talking about.

Yes it wraps around the entire phone

They do look nice.... but to be honest, if it's actually silicon.... i dunno if i'd want it. That's basically my issue with the Otterbox cases. That outside cover attracts dust from alternate dimensions of your pocket. I can't imagine what the rugged battery cover might look like if it's the same material.

i want!! thats simply awesome. i wish amazon had green dangit

[Update 5.16.12] (Magnetic) Steelie Mobile Device Holder W/pics

Anybody heard of this new car mount yet?
Steelie Mobile Device Holder
They also have an iPad tabletop stand.
Just ordered the car kit cause It looks like a great product. I love this idea!!!
The best thing is that if you send them your case. They'll punch a hole in it so that the magnet can mount straight to the phone and is a little more discrete.
They were originally on Kickstarter and almost doubled their goal.
Just wanted to post/support a (what seems to me like a great product) that is MADE IN THE U.S.A.
What do you guys think?
And no I am not affiliated with them in any way.
*****Update 5.16.12*****
Just received the car kit!
Includes:
1 x STEELIE Ball
1 x STEELIE Socket
1 x Alcohol prep pad
1 x Primer stick
1 x Instructions
Uploaded some photo's to show all that is included with instructions.
Also dims of "STEELIE Ball" (for dashboard) and "STEELIE socket" (for phone).
Will update in a few more days with results in
*Ease of use
*Ease if installation

Im not 100% positive, but i think this will mess your GPS and NFC obviously.

That's unfortunate. Did you try to email them to see if they can help you with possibly offering different shipping options?

Saw these guys at a small town fair in Louisville, CO a week ago. Looked like a good product and the guys who own the company were very enthusiastic and helpful. I specifically asked about GPS interference etc. and they said they'd evaluated several phones with no issues.
I also expressed concern about the size/thickness of the engagement point on the phone and they said that they were working on a lower profile version.
Would really like to see these guys do well. Another small business emerging from middle-class America. Gotta love that.

Similar idea to tetrax, but may be easier to find a mounting spot since it looks like it doesn't need the same sq inch spot if you're not using the vent mounted version.

Wow, this is awesome and perfect for my needs! Just went in for one!
I have a window mount currently but it's a pain if I want to rotate it at all because you have to loosen the ball joint and then tighten it back up. And it's almost impossible to do it with the phone in the holder while keeping it at the angle you want.
That, and the suction cup will fall off from time to time. I've also gotten "yelled at" by a cop for having it up as well, so this will "obstruct my view" way less!
This is so much simpler to use, even though it will add a slight bit of bulk.

Thanks for posting about this here, Iv been researching this product everywhere that I can, but its a hard product to find info about, and whats even worse is that the company has not returned my calls or emails in 3 days since contacting them. Either way I found the steelie product on sale here and I already bought it. http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/ST_C.html and now Im hoping it can be used with my galaxy note i717. Now this is a big phone, probably the biggest and heaviest on the market and im worried it will not work. Does anyone know if my phone will work? Also the steelie on this website looks different than all the other steelie pictures iv found, is the one I bought an older or newer version of the steelie? I already contacted 123 ink cartridges and they assured me that its not counterfeit.

Let us know how the thing feels with a big ol', honkin' magnet on the back of it. I'm intrigued, but think having a magnet the size of a 50-cent piece on the back of my GNex would make my having a pretty custom case rather pointless.
The site also says it doesn't interfere with NFC. I'm dubious and would love to hear from some third parties.

NEVER MIND! the one i bought was a counterfeit... lame. oh well im getting a refund on it.

Any updates?
I see that they offer the Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket for purchase by itself, but dont see it listed for sale anywhere. Would be nice for different cell phone uses that drive the same car. I guess you could always mount it to a easy to swap out phone case if you have the same phone as other users.

I think this is the same one:
http://www.amazon.com/TPCROMEER-Key..._sbs_pc_3?ie=UTF8&refRID=1QFPG3VDBQTSDJ9WTDH7
One purchaser says that after a couple of very minor mods he is happy with this one. I'm thinking of getting one.

first time seen a really good keyboard case, ordered it from ebay will write back review (eta 30dec-15jan)

I purchased it and absolutely love it. I ended up reviewing it on Amazon. You have to make two modifications to really make the case work. First, punch a hole where the charger is so that you can charge while it's closed. The second thing you likely will want to do is cut the area by the power button. I noticed that I couldn't easily turn the tablet on and off until I did this. It's a great case. Pretty light. The only negative I have is that I wish it "locked" into standing mode a bit better. If you are typing with it on your lap, it will fall forward and close sometimes. Other than that - I've pretty much replaced my work computer with my Note 10.1 plus this case. Hope that helps!
