Official desktop dock

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.

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.

I personally am using this:

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

Portable battery charger

Anybody have recommendation for a good, portable battery charger that's not too big? I don't want those big square ones. I was looking at this one from this deal site...http://casepapa.com/deals/universal-2600-mah-battery-charger/
There's no brand, but it's only $13, so not much risk involved

Get a Pebble XT 5000maH you can get 2 or 3 full phone charges out of this before it needs charging again.

There are even smaller versions of that particular model called smart sticks. They have good capacities but charge slowly.

I can't live without my pebble, even my wife has twigged onto the fact I have one and it works with her iphone. I've known her go out with it in her handbag

I bought this one.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/39061239557...eName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
It's trustable and good.
Bye,

I use this, it's cheap but it works well.

First I bought a cheap external 2500 mAh charger with solar panel that it gave me enough juice to make many photos and keep internet on all day on travel holidays. But I bought an MacBook Air 11" and now I use it as external usb charger anywhere I go. It's to small to not take it with me when I make trip longer than a battery charge.
So if you have a mini laptop you can use it as external usb charger with a lot of juice for your phone. I keep always the MBA on a backpack or a messenger bag and the phone on my pockets with a charging cable connecting them.
And never felt since the need for another external charger.

QI Charger stand. Difference?

Hello there fellers...
Is there any difference between last gen. wireless charging stand and the new one released together for S8?
Does the new one have faster charging speed?

If you mean this one,

I got one and did not like it. Unlike the Samsung Qi charger I had purchased for my car, this one seems to cycle constantly. So it goes on battery, and the phone discharges for a while, then it starts charging, then you get a full charge and it turns off and the cycle starts over. I found it too annoying to use.

Thanks. The new convertible stand looks great but is a bit expensive for now.
Edit: I read on a review for this model that "the correct power supply must be used for it to function properly."

If you mean that it should use the cables/wall plug that it came with, yes, that's true. I have two of them and without a quickcharging cable/cable, it doesn't charge/work as a quick charger.

Sindroid,
Here is the one I have been using
https://www.amazon.ca/Wireless-Char...24826&sr=8-1&keywords=spigen+wireless+charger
Works very well, not high speed but 3.5 hours for full charge and very sturdy. Also has the rubberized grip so very sturdy for the phone to sit on as well. Highly recommend it.

This looks very cool. Does it come with cables and a wall plug? I see "a" cable, but not sure if comes with all the necessary cables. I found it on the US site for $25 (guessing that's what it is at the exchange for CAD).

I'm using the new convertible charger. So far so good.

Benuo Leather Card Case

Hey guys, I recently got hooked up with the sweet case. It's made by a company called Benuo. I got the black version.

I really liked it. It definitely will come in handy on a vacation or short get away. I tested it in a few different scenarios. It doesn't work with Samsung Pay if you have two cards in it (which is the purpose of the case.) If you don't use Samsung Pay, this won't be a big deal. I use Samsung Pay for nearly all my purchases so the case will only be used when going somewhere where I'd like to have less in my pockets.
I also tested it with wireless charging. That was a hit or miss. It worked with my stock Samsung Wireless Fast Charger but didn't with my off brand wireless fast car charger. Also, when I did wireless charge it, it retained a lot of heat. (I'd recommend not using the case while wirelessly charging.)
Overall, I think the quality of the case is decent. It gets the job done while providing its purpose, to hold two of your cards. I don't see myself using it unless I will be on vacation or going out. That isn't to say that it isn't a great case cause it is. I'd definitely recommend it to someone who would like to save some room in there pockets.

Link leads to lola who is one of amazon's dogs. Nice dog, but otherwise, probably NOT the product you are hoping to show.

Lol, Now that's funny . But would like to see case pictures...

I too picked up this case. I have to admit... I really like this case. The fit is good but the corners are not snug. I thought that was a flaw until I needed to use Samsung pay. It came right off with no issue and came back on.
The leather is legit. Stitching was strong. While it won't be my daily driver, its good when I go out.
