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!

Just bought a similar one, hope it arrives soon to my country. Being used to connect my milestone to a dock is can't of weird now that i have the phone laying alone on the desk.

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.

If you want to see both in action, I found a Danish video from a while back which happens to show the hdmi accessory

this is the same one I reviewed, too steep an angle, looks nice but uncomfortable to use.

HTC Desktop Dock

found this on Amazon last night. Picked it up for 18 bucks. Ive really wanted one but never found them any cheaper than 60. for anyone that doesnt have one or didnt get one because they were too expensive this is great.
http://www.amazon.com/HTC-Transfer-...AUI0/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1335701399&sr=8-1

Thanks for the info. I just ordered one.

Think this thing'll work with future HTC products?

Probably not, as they'll be different sizes and the microusb port will be in different spots.
Giggity

I figured I have at least another year with this phone as I am a firm believer not to upgrade when under contract due to the exuberant cost. So I figured WTH might as well get it while it's super cheap.

Indeed.
I was explaining it to my wife the other day. In another year my contract is up, and I'll see what's out there in terms of phones. I feel like my days of forking out nearly $300 with contract are over. I'm going to wait until a good phone is nearly free with contract, even if that means spending more time with the bolt.

I never really used a docking station - plug it into my speakers on my PC instead. But it is a nice little thing. I picked this one up just to try it.

I hesitated to pull the trigger, and now it's back up to 45 bucks.
However, on e-bay:
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.com/view...cmd=VIDESC&index=3&nav=SEARCH&nid=57516831989
I have never used ebay. It says it has free shipping, but it mentions something about "bulk" packaging and explicitly says it's not "retail." It does, however, claim to be new. I'm also a bit worried that there are no pics of the accompanying cables.
Think it's a safe buy?
Also, has anyone seen that amazon has 10 dollar rezound batteries? They're OEMs, not some aftermarket BS. Unless I'm missing something there too. Did anyone pick one up?

GSM Car Dock

I checked the Google Play store and the car dock says it's "coming soon." Does anyone know when it will be back or where I could buy one? I've checked Ebay, Amazon, and anywhere else I could think of. Thanks.

I would also like to know this...
Anyone that has gotten one... are you happy with it? Was it worth the $54?

I just spent 1 hour and 11 minutes on hold with Google to find out nothing. When I asked if was eventually going to be available he said it should be... very reassuring. He did say if it was discontinued that it would not be on the store - so here is hoping.
:highfive:

In stock
Check the play store now. I'ts listed as in stock.

Here's a site I haven't tried personally yet but intend to very soon.

From what reviews I have scoured off the internet the company looks legit, but do your own research. As far as I can tell this is the pogo pin version as well. If you cheap out on the shipping(what I intend to do). It goes for about $70 total.

No reason to go there when you can get the one right from the playstore for a total $68 After taxes and 2 day shipping.
I went to checkout but then didn't proceed because it came to $68.....tax and shipping kills it for me.

It's the best you can get, but it needs a few tweaks otherwise it is rubbish. First you must cut away the rim of the dock for the volume and power buttons.They forgot to cut out recesses for these buttons. It is rubber material and is very easy to cut with a sharp knife.
I also bought a right angled micro usb cable as I didn't want a big lead sticking out from my dock. I then tucked it in the car trim out of sight before into the cigarette charger.

Wow they do kinda sock it to you with taxes and shipping but that did not stop me. Should see it in about 2 days.
:victory:

I can't decide on the official GSM Car Dock for $68 or Verizon Dock + NFC tag for $35.
Are those pogo pins really worth it?

Multimedia dock for the 10.1 == $5

For those that want a dock, or just the piece that pops into the front of the HDMI dock (for the GT7). Literally sold my GT10 yesterday; I'd buy one right now just for the plastic piece.
http://www.hhgregg.com/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-multimedia-desktop-dock/item/D1B1BEGXAR
Probably my last post in this forum by the way. It's been a fun year (*found my receipt dated 7/30/11). Got the nexus 7 and I honestly can't imagine turning back. The GT10 is a great tablet and will be for some time; I just can't spend all of my time flashing ROMs on 2 devices! Anyways, enjoy your tablets, especially now that you'll have working cameras within a few days!

thanks for the link. price is very good.

is this site legit? 4.95 seems almost too good...

LOOOL. HHgreg is legit. xD :good:

my local store had two of them. bought them both. still need one more. the guys at the counter were annoyed that they had no idea of the price. so i feel kinda lucky they were there.
the downside... there is no charger. so they expect me to use the short three foot cord that came with the tab. that thing barely reaches from the plug straight up on a table.

anyone know the difference between the multimedia Desktop Dock in the OP with (Model: D1B1BEGXAR)) versus the this one (Model: EDD-D1B1BEGSTA) sold on amazon. They both seem to be for Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 original. I remember the Original galaxy 10.1 was thicker before the US version of the 10.1 came out. no way of telling if this is the case here.
I missed out on this awesome deal. No longer available in my area nor am I able to order online and ship to Washington DC.seems to be sold out or in-store only if available.
Thanks,

Nice deal but how about shipping to germany... ?

anyone know if i can get this one to africa ?

This is great, its only $3.82 now w/o shipping! I bought the media adapter from the original tab 7, which had hdmi, was just proping up the tab 10.1 with a piece of wood behind it, now I can buy this and just use the plastic base piece keyboard is also on sale 17.47, in case any one is interested

I realy want to order one toobecause in europe they are about at least 20-30 €..

just picked mine up in store, apparently they dont ship the dock, you have to do in store pickup. the guy at the store told me it was being discontinued, and I got 1 of the only 2 they had. I also picked up the SD adapter for the tab(official samsumg adapter) for $8.37. I had previously bought a cheap chinese 2 in 1 usb/sdcard adapter, its very ****ty and you have to hold it an exact angle, and not move the device, otherwise you a disconnect...

To bad they dont ship to Canada I'd pick it up then.

Its out of stock. It will let you put it in the cart, but when you go to checkout during the entering of the billing/shipping address it then says its out of stock and must be removed from the basket. Otherwise its a good deal.
If you're a Amazon Prime member its $9.72 shipped for the EDD-D1B1BEGXAR model.

iOttie Easy Flex Wireless Qi Car Mount

Looks like iOttie is taking reservations for their Qi car mount. Spoiler alert: It's $80.
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
I was hoping for a $40-50 price point. So, yeah, I'm a little disappointed.

Yeah $80 is way too high especially when you can get more "Premium" Chinese Qi Car docks for about $45. I figured the price was going to be more than we requested when the "Rep" that had the iOttie post suddenly went silent. $50 was just the high end of Purchasable range. $80 is high even if there were NO other options on the market. Heck the OwlPad sold for LESS than that much when it came out...over a year ago. So yeah makes me feel the company is trying to fleece the N5 owners.

Hey guys,
We did not go quiet on the postings - we were just advised from XDA moderators that that kind of posting is not permitted within the forums.
We do appreciate the constructive feedback with regards to our product & pricing. We will pass that information onto our management team for more detailed review.

I would buy it for around $40-50 but definitely not at $80.

80? This is why I've refused to buy the tylt vu. I have zero problem shelling out cash for accessories but that's ridiculous.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app

80? Probably cost 15 to make at those quantities. I'll pass, thanks.

the air dock is better than this, and it costs less at $69, but even that's still way too expensive for this kind of thing. $80 is just ridiculous.

We are actually giving away a Nexus 5 and some Easy Flex Wireless mounts on Facebook today - be sure to check it out.
Also, the price you guys see is MSRP - but the MAP price that it will be sold at on Amazon and other resellers is $69.95.

$70 with that 20% off offering that you all are sharing via Facebook if you sign up for the contest is pretty solid considering how much everyone likes the car mounts.

yeah the retail price isn't what it'll be on amazon. Funny I wrote in to them when I first got my nexus 5 asking if they were making one. Glad to see they did.
I'm curious on final price. Been using their mounts for awhile and find it pretty good.
I do have 2 of the indiegogo airdocks coming though. Which in the end is a better solution if it works.

Looks nice to me, I'd be all over it.

The contest says it ends the 47th of April? I tried to enter but apparently it's closed already.

Curious, I see that people are upset at spending $80 for a modern and functional mount that also wirelessly charges your phone. I think it looks awesome and I would totally buy it, but I'm curious, what other alternatives exist?

Other than the Air Dock which was a Kickstarter but now goes for $69 now and the OwlPad which has been out for OVER a year which sells for $57. There are others on Amazon and Aliexpress from $35-50 depending on quality. $80 for a plain old QI charger is just over priced. For $69 at least the Airdock has the Magnets for the N5 included in the design.

One thing to consider with a wireless charger dock for the car is how much flexibility in positioning it offers, cause most of the time, you'll probably need to put it where it can get some direct air conditioning. This Easy Flex Wireless, if it's like the Easy Flex 3, can be rotated 360° and put the phone hanging in front of the vents of my car.

Does anyone know if this will work with case on. I would get it but I wanna know if can have a case on my nexus and it will still work. If you know the answer please let me know. Thanks

It does, like any other Qi charger. IIRC Qi can do something like half an inch distance. In any case, it should be fine for any cases that are not battery cases or metal ones.

Not bad, but bouncy....
I pre-prdered this dock using the Facebook coupon, and it arrived over the weekend. I tried it out in the hopes that it would not exhibit the bounciness that the other wireless charging dock I ordered had.
I used my phone, both with and without it's TPU case (my phone is an LG G2) in this dock and on all but the smoothest of roads (I live in Michigan, so "smooth road" is almost an oxymoron) the bounce is very noticeable. There is just too much flex in the arm of the dock.
I have written to them via their facebook page in hopes that I receive a reply and hopefully a solution.

The pricing is now $69.95 on amazon
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IRHQZTI/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A2FE6D62A4WM6Q

I have one and it doesn't charge with my case off. It will with case off. Maybe I should have it replaced
