power or otherwise?
You get a charger with the standard dock. It works with the dock or standalone like a travel charger.

Thats was the only reason that I picked up the Standard Dock. I figured that it was easy to make the case for an additional charger and for a few bucks more you get a dock.
At first, I thought that the dock would be difficult to use (placing the Xoom correctly on it and removing it), but after a few weeks of usage, it has been INCREDIBLY easy.
I'd recommend the dock to anyone / everyone that has a xoom...
I have the dock, and after a couple more weeks plan to find a speaker dock on sale somewhere.

http://www.mycellworld.com/Samsung-OEM-Vehicle-Navigation-Mount-P182792874-P93056.htm
They both only list compatibility with the i515 so I wonder if they will work all the same with the i9250.
The car dock (second link) is the same one that's been on Samsung's website for a while:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/cell-phones-accessories/ECS-K1F8BEGSTA
It DOES NOT have the pins for use on the side of the Nexus.
I'm looking for one that does have the pins so I don't have to unplug everything when I want to take the phone in and out of the dock.
The description for the car dock says you can plug your car charger directly to the mount. I'm so confused. I just want the pins...
Honestly I'd be happy just to use the desktop dock in my car. Double sided Velcro and stick it right to my dash. It's what I do with the car dock anyways (using the disk thing it comes with) and there's no annoying suction cup to worry about when the temperature drops. Plus it's lower profile and much easier to drop the phone in and out of. Especially when the suction doesn't want to play along.
I posted this mainly because I hadn't seen the multimedia dock available yet anywhere else, I just included the car dock link in case someone wanted both.
Seriously? $64.95 for a piece of plastic with USB headphone jacks wired to the prongs. Did Samsung subcontract this out to Monster Cables? Nice to be able to insert/remove phone wihout plugging/unplugging, but pricing is obscene.
Yes I made a thread asking about this about a week ago about a 3 pin charging cradle. Its finally coming out! .....and then I seen the price of the damn thing -.-

That is exactly the same thing I first noticed. As much as I want a dock for my phone there is no way I am going to spend 65 bucks on it plus another 10 dollars or so on shipping the stupid thing to me.
but does the official pogo pin car dock support VZW models?
i don't think it was made for the vzw models.

and why would you say its the old crappy version? just the price? the picture and discrption are of the good one. part number is even different although that could be their internal cataloging number. still no evidence of this being the old verizon model.
as for the price on the desktop dock, i'm assuming it has to do with the internals. has an hdmi output while only physicly connecting to the phone via 3-prong connector. supposedly the car dock sends audio to the mount via bluetooth and the mount is able to give you the aux output line from there. wondering if it is sending data to the home version the same way.
Well I know its no iPhone 4s in terms of volume, but how hard would it be to be for an aftermarket company to make a car cradle that works with pogo connectors? All you have to do is have raised spring loaded prongs so that it would work with a tpu case.

Desktop dock is pretty awesome, but a little too pricey. Nice find
The description of the desk dock looks pretty off. That thing DOES NOT have an HDMI port unless it comes with an extra wire to hook into the micro USB port. Take a look here for all the official dock options which may or may not arrive. http://www.droid-life.com/2011/12/02/samsung-galaxy-nexus-docks-and-chargers-get-a-proper-fondling-prongs-put-to-use/#more-54594

Try to find two DV casette cases and make this: http://imgur.com/a/wruWi#0 I'm going to add in Micro USB to HDMI® MHL Adapter soon to the bottom case and boom you've got yourself a media dock for less than $12.
guys did you think about one issue,that power button is at the same side as 3 gold pins ?? so inserted without root it would be pretty useless

I never used the power button on my Nexus S when it was docked.
Has anyone tried these docks from mugen?
Seems like a better alternative to the very expensive (including shipping) Official Samsung Docks. Any Disadvantage?

Wow I can't believe how much the price goes up with just an hdmi port.
In Europe that HDMI dock can be a little cheaper:

Those docks are NOT from Mugen!
They are from a company called Kidigi, which the logo says on the docks...
I have been using the dock with place for a 2nd battery for a month and it is really good. Fits perfectly and feels high quality. It can charge a standard sized battery, but not the extended battery. And they only fit the GSM model, not the VZW model...
If you have a MHL-adapter you do not need the HDMI dock, just plug the mhl adapter into the dock and you will be able to transfer the picture.
I bought mine from 4u-mobi.com
Can certainly recommend those docks!
Posted about this a while back, seems there is a little more interest now that people realize how expensive the Samsung option is.
I have the dock with the spare battery charger as well.
It fits nice and snug both with and without a case, though that may also be a complaint for some people. I used to have the Nexus One desktop dock, so it's a little annoying that the dock stays so well attached when I'm trying to take the phone out of it. If the Samsung dock wasn't so stupidly expensive I probably would have preferred to go official just for ease of docking/undocking.
The best feature is that the dock will actually support data through the USB port on it, so like others have mentioned you can transfer files while connected to a computer, or turn it into a HDMI dock with a MHL adapter.

I have a mhl adapter but two questions/concerns.
1) Can you charge the phone and output hdmi if you connect the MHL adapter?
2) The mhl adapter also needs power. If I am using this in the car, not sure how I will provide power to the MHL adapater and phone at the same time. Does the MHL adapter also charge the phone when it is plugged in?
Ugh another gsm only option. I think I've finally had it and I'm going to try making my own.

1) Yes, but you will need to plug a charger into the mhl adapter.
2) Have not tried, but I guess that may be a problem since the mhl cable requires enough power. Maybe a cable from 12V to the MHL is enough, but I cannot guarantee that it will work.

hey guys i have a gnex with an otterbox defender on it. i want to get a dock for my computer preferably with an hdmi and a charging port possibly sound output. is there such a thing? i dont want to have to take the otterbox off everytime i want to dock my phone
I highly, highly, highly doubt it.
Well there some aftermarket docks that work with phone in cases, and you can use MHL adapter for the HDMI thing..
It will be a bit of work, however, I'm planning on doing something similar. (otterbox commuter)
I have a slip-grip car mount, I'll be frankensteining a charging circuit onto it. I will extend out the pogo pins to small copper tabs on the back of the otterbox, have matching contacts on the slipgrip. Since i sync blue-tooth with the car, I don't care about hdmi/audio out. When all said and done, it's going to be a "no wires" connection to the car dock.
The electronics are being figured out here.
Alternatively you could by a standard OEM desk dock, take out the electronics and rebuild your own desk dock with somehow extending out the pogo pins, this option would give you SDPIF out.

Yes, some docks do work with phone cases but we're talking about an Otterbox here. Those and, say, Ballistic cases don't usually fit docks without outputs. Of course, OP could go with a simple dock and an MHL adapter, but I don't believe it's that exactly that he's looking for.
Can anyone recommend an inexpensive dock for Nexus 5 with built-in USB charging? I need one for my office where phone stands most of the time in dock unless I need to use it. I currently have a cheapo dock for Samsung Galaxy Nexus (bought for like $5) but it does not fit N5 and USB connector on N5 is turned around.
What I would like is something similar - form-fitting, affordable, unobtrusive, stable to use phone while in dock and with built-in charging.
Any recommendations would be welcomed.
It's too soon for bespoke docks and the universal ones don't work for the reason you mentioned. I'm checking every day for the Kidigi dock that will come to market but it's not on sale yet.
An alternative is to buy a desk stand and plug in a charging cable as normal.
I hope Kidigi know it too... Look at the Dock, the USB Connector is not in the right direction.

I'm sure they'll get it right. That's the one i'm waiting for btw. I really like the look of it so i hope it's out soon. I did drop them an email asking when we might expect it but haven't heard back yet.
First generic ones that can be applied to any phone:
1: USB charging cable. The OPO's stock cable is WAY too short for me so Im currently look for a additional one. My old HTC charger don't seem to charge as quick.
2: Car charger and charging cable. I would use the same cable (buy it twice) and I need a car charger. It needs to be able to feed the OnePlus One while in GPS mode
Now onto OnePlus One accessories:
1: GPS window car mount. There are a lot out there. Im looking for one that is easy to add and remove to the window, sturdy and I can put the phone in and out quickly. Must be compatible in both portrait and landscape and obviously it must be compatible with the car charger above so I can charge and GPS.

For the car charger i suggest this one http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Belkin-...876?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item19e62c23fc
it's more than perfect for 7 euros and it has good quality also
a solution for car mount is this http://www.ebay.com/itm/361209224197?_trksid=p2060353.m2749.l2649&ssPageName=STRK:MEBIDX:IT it doesn't apply on the window but i find it more convenient
For a 10' cable, I bought this (purple, yes), comes in many colors: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00JZHE3N4
Works really well for charging. Was recommended by someone else on the boards.
In the car I'm using this: http://www.scosche.com/usb-car-charger-dual-port with a stock cable.
Monoprice makes great cables, too, if you need one bigger.

Rip off of the centry?!?!
On eBay Its at 23.11 EUR and I still feel like it is a ripoff.
At this price, I would only buy one.
Alternatives?
StarTech.com sells one for about 11 euros...
The two things that most worry me are the cable and the dock. The charger is pretty much decided as I looked at revolt as well...
Still looking for car dock and cables...
I need a car mount, but I cannot stand how hideous they all look! Why can't we have a very clean car mount like the one that's built for the HTC HD2 or the Galaxy Nexus. See these pictures. This is what a car mount should look like. Nice and sleek!
