Recommended Dock from EBay

Hi There!
Has anyone got any experience with particular cradle/docks from Ebay?
Ideally I think I would like a horizontal dock, but can do portrait.

The "USB-Sync-Cradle-Dock-Charger-Samsung-i9100-Galaxy-S-2" on eBay. (Since I've posted so little, I'm not yet allowed to post links).
I bought one'o these. Don't expect much of it, but I think it'll do what it's supposed to. I just hope there's some anti-slip rubber feet on it, so the phone can be used while mounted. Droidstuff.se (swedish site) has a very nice, special made Android universal dock in black metal (which everybody knows us scandinavians are very good at! ). It's pretty expensive, though, and availability is scarce.

Here is the one I ordered: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170633167683
I still haven't gotten it yet (even though I ordered nearly 2 weeks ago)... I will let you know what I think if / when I get it.

When it arrives, I'd be interested to know whether it looks like it'd work with a case on

ebay dock
I ordered that ebay dock, it came pretty quick, its ok for the money, it doesnt give a snug cutom fit but does just fine, i might actually order a sceond one as you can charge it from your pc/laptop or hook in a wall charger.
It look like theres enough room to work with a case but im not a big fan of cases so im unable to tell.

Thinking of that one, looks pretty good and it also charges a separate battery at the same time, however not in stock yet any thoughts?

I'd really want my device lied horizontally. Comfortable while watching movies But no such a dock in the offing.

1 already bought this one, two days on ebay. I dont like it at all as the phone sites in it almost upright, there isnt enough of an angle on it to use the phone comfortably, the angle is just too steep.
If you don't mind the angle the build quality is good otherwise.

I ordered one of these. Will report back when I get it.

Isn't that the one that doesn't actually charge the phone, though?
It charges a separate battery, lying flat in the base. But the phone simply sits in the base. Seems mad to me.
Edit: Yup, doesn't charge the phone. More pictures here. Removed link as I wasn't sure if linking to a retailer was permitted. Is copying their images ok?

I remember having a very similar dock to that for the M2000 (htc blue angel), battery charged in the back, but you could plug a mini-usb cable in to charge the device as well.....
Thats a big step backwards!

I'm waiting for the 1st dock. I'd rather get a samsung approved dock plus it looks well built and has line out and usb connection AND works in portrait/landscape.
Also eager about the car dock, until you linked this site I didn't know where to get the official Samsung one, so thanks man.

PowerMat for Our Vibrant!

This looks great! Anyone getting it?

No, but Radioshack needs to learn how to make a advertisement properly...if anyone clicks on the link and sees the picture they know what I mean

Yep......Vibrant/4G =/= i9000

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.

If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).

it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy
____________________________________________

They had this at walmart. Fits vibrant and galaxy s 4g. Was considering it but it adds some thickness to the phone so decided not to. Only $40 tho

I thought someone posted that the fit was terrible on these? That people had ordered them, but ultimately returned because they were too loose.
EDIT Scratch that... I'm thinking of these http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html

My powermat had finally come in and mine seems to fit fine.No wobble or anything!

I just got mine today fits with no problem at all and it is snug.... it works great i love it....

it isnt much bigger, the bump on the back is still there all it does is replace the back cover on the phone i can always take before and after pics if you want.....

I would love to see some pics. Also that tab that sticks up on the top, is it removable? Not really digging that. Thanks.

A realy perfect Leather Case

from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123
review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important

Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?

also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain

This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.

Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.
EDIT:
cheaper one

The Style is the same like "PyroSkins and Vipertech" but what about the leather quality?
How much did you pay?

http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123 - just a link that's easier to click then yours
I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams

Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described
Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^

Can anyone confirm if this will fit tmobile galaxy tab 10.1?
Sent from my SGH-T859 using XDA App

Isn't it the same size? If it is, it should fit... can't help you out there though as I have a 7500 one.

The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.

Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

You definitely didn't look very hard. Here's my post from last week. Link to amazon where you can get if now for $19.

Aye, you're right. Wouldn't help me though, since amazon tells me that "there is a slight problem with my order" (they can't ship it to my place for some reason).
Still, good to know a cheaper option might exist for some people, thanks!

For people trying to find one from the UK...
I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.

its a great case

New case arrived today! thought I would share

Ok so I got this case off eBay http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/ws/eBayI...ssPageName=ADME:L:eek:C:AU:3160#ht_2990wt_754 and she just arrived today. I previously owned a tab 8.9 and had an official Samsung case for it, and this one is of exact build quality, obviously though this one has the spen and ir sensor exposed with the lid closed. It also has a small amount of magnetism where it locks close. If anyone wants some better pics let me know and I'll take some with a dslr.
Made my day, $16AUD and now my tabs not naked!

Hi there thanks for sharing, you have a nice one there. I also have a case but I think the price is a bit of a rip-off, cost me $36USD...well my brother bought it on my behalf without telling...hope u don't mind me sharing the picts, it's a rotating case.

This is the first Ebay seller I have seen who is actually selling what he has pictured, e.g.. flap on bottom. I ordered two black ones with flap on top as pictured from this ebay seller but I receivd two white ones with flap on bottom. LOL

I have the same one. Bought from ebay aswell not same seller mine was $13USD , there is another seller as i was searching that had those as well but in green, pink, white blue and black.
Got the black myself.

sidenote. the case in the first post has a "silk" like front cover that scratches by virtually anything.

Nice, OP. I was thinking of getting one for my Note, but I didn't really like the stand. I prefer one that's a bit more stable, I guess.

I have it in white. Very very good case!

Can you share seller?

Moto 360 bumper case 3D printed

I haven't seen anyone post this on XDA and I thought this is was different. sorry if already posted
below I have the quote from the original posting from the seller. DISCLAIMER: I have no affiliation to the seller nor do I know him!
ogdobber said:
I've designed two simple snap on cases for the Moto 360 that I hope will offer some extra protection to the glass face. Right now there is a short and tall version. The short is just 0.3mm over above the glass and the tall is 1.5mm above.
I've been wearing the short one in black since Thursday and have been happy with it from a fit and look standpoint. The matte black next to the stainless ring on the front looks great. And the tall version should be here this week and as long as it looks OK i will likely switch to it as i feel like the short one is mostly appearance and not helping to protect the glass at all. Can you tell I'm phobic about scratching the face of this watch?
I have only ordered the black and polished metallic. The black looks great but the metallic looks cheap and I wouldn't willingly wear it.
I'm open to suggestions for changes to shape and design if people would like some other versions. And while i make a few dollars off each of these, this is not a business and I'm never going to open tooling and make these commercially in volume. But i would be really surprised if there are not a dozen phone case makers turning out similar products in a few months. I'm actually wondering why they are not there already? Maybe Motorola didn't release outside dimensions ahead of release like they do for many phones.
If other are interested you can order from here: www (dot)shapeways(dot)(Com)/shops/Raelx[/url]

Short or tall version? This looks very interesting.

This is definitely interesting, I like it. To bad the shipping is almost as much as the case itself. Any discount codes for the site? I think I might just have to order one.

I ordered the matte black one today. I already have a few scratches on the side of the watch and bezel, but I managed to buff them out for the most part. This will help keep it from getting more scratched up I think. I'll post pics once I get it.

I just ordered one with USPS First Class shipping total out the door $12.99

That's a reasonable price, the problem is i live in Puerto Rico and it shows $19.99 for ship to a total of $27.99, and some sites think we are international shipping. We have in PR USPS, UPS, Fedex that I use always without problem. Sending a small like that would be like 5 to 6 bucks on USPS.
For example: Yesterday i was going to buy a Amazon Fire TV for my boss, and I was unable to buy, even calling amazon support they told me they cant be shipped to Puerto Rico, and the crazy thing its I have a Fire TV since launch that I bought directly from amazon and received via UPS next day and she saw the order on my history he don't even know how i do it. I have prime and I receive the diapers for my toddler second day via UPS. Crazy stuff LOL

I live in NY so I have asked Shapeway if there is any way I can come pick it up. Their website does mention the fact that they are cool with personal pickups.

Shipping 2 to Florida and only 4.99 for USPS First-Class Shipping
