All in one media dock?

I'm looking for a media dock with hdmi and charging capability. I'd like it to be all in one piece but from what I've read the Samsung one isn't what I'm looking for. Is there something that's a comprehensive solution or is this going to be an a la cart thing?
I thought I had read Samsung was releasing a new all in one solution some time back.

The desktop dock and the hdmi adapter are two products but will do what you want. The desktop dock has a connector on the back to plug the hdmi adaptor into and the hdmi adaptor has a power passthrough.

links? amazon?

I tried to post links on my original comment but my post count isnt high enough and it wouldnt let me.
Just go to the samesung site. They're official Samsung accesories and there are only a few of those. Once you know what you're looking for they should be easy to find on Amazon.

Best desktop dock for Galaxy Nexus

There are several for car docks, but I didn't see any for desktop docks. I don't want to spend the $90 on the pogo dock for the Galaxy Nexus, so I'm wanting to know what's the best alternative? I want something that has an mhl port that can be used for mirroring and charging port. I don't care about a headphone jack too much.

My experience with necessary accessories

So I switched from a Motorola Xoom, which I have loved, to a modern, lighter, Note 10.1 from Costco.
I immediately rooted via Darkman's method.
What I really liked about the xoom was the HDMI adapter and OTG.
I travel a lot and being able to hook up to a hotel TV and stream Netflix or episodes of shows has been great.
I found the lack of HDMI port and 30 pin rather frustrating.
Anyways, these are the accessories that I bought and here are my comments:
Samsung Electronics Book Cover for Galaxy Note 10.1-Inch, White (EFC-1G2NWECXAR)
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Electronics-Galaxy-10-1-Inch-EFC-1G2NWECXAR/dp/B008X46QTO
Review: Great Case. I like the white for my white tablet. I know the camera is not useable with cover on easily, but the magnetic and antislip hold in the 2 positions has been great. In my opinion this case comes the closest to an ipad cover without actually being an ipad cover. The magnetic hold had not affected my S Pen and the cover is skinny and great texture to hold. Worth the $50 IMHO.

Review: The first one did not work, the little button broke and the seller on Amazon sent me a free one, it had worked great so far and I have been able to transfer files back and forth including moves and pictures without a problem. Kind of bulky, and I fear it will break off if any abnormal pressure is applied, but for $4.99 I paid for it it was well worth it to just have around.
ZEEESTM Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 HDTV Adapter:

Review: Now this is interesting. I was pissed off that it didn't work the first time. I read the instruction and realized that you need to have the power connected to the HDMI adapter for it to work.. The Note will detect the adapter, but the TV would not unless power is supplied to it. Which is very frustrating compared to the Xoom. I was used to mini HDMI out on Xoom that worked without external power. Now here is the silver lining. You do not need to use the Samsung 2A adapter, I used a 0.5A USB port on the TV and it works, I used a 1A iPhone charger and it worked! The super-silver lining is that generic 0.5A and 1A adapters which cannot usually charge the Note directly, do actually charge the note when connected though the HDMI adapter, even when not connected to an HDMI TV. Can I a get a Hallelujah! Fogetting my Note 2A adapter at home is not an issue, specially when I can run USB and HDMI straight to the TV!!

Review: Great to match my HDMI cable so the Xoom can be 6ft away from the TV.
Lastly, I had a left over Xoom screen protector which I cut around the front camera are and stuck on the Note screen and it works fine with the S-Pen, no bubbles. In other words generic screen protectors work and you dont have to buy a special S Pen friendly one.

Thanks for this post. Just added all this to my wish list

Yea. Thanks for the tips.
Didn't like the 30 pin connector and was concerned about the HDMI connection. Your post helped.

very useful tips，thank you.

thank you for your recomendation

Micro USB / USB Connector - For Mouse/Keyboard capability

Hey Guys,
I just found this cool Accessory at Best Buy its the Micro USB/USB Connector Model: EPL-AU10WEGXAR. Like many of you I wanted the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 to be a full fledge Computer with its super fast processor and Multi-Task capabilities. The way I have mine set up is as so. I bought the Moko Leather Case from Amazon flipped it around since don't really use the camera plug the Micro USB and then at the end is a Female USB that I use to plug in my mouse. I bought a HP Keyboard that I assume was meant for some windows device but I truly only got it because of the size. Like me I most of you guys know the struggle of not being able to find any accessories. The Adapter was only $20. Now I know we all could prefer the Samsung Media Dock with the 3 USBs PLUS charging to work but for now this a inexpensive workaround. Wired Mice are like $5, Bluetooth Keyboards go as cheap as $20 on Amazon, and the Adapter is only $20. So There you have $55 for the hardware not including the case. Im sure theres plenty of cheap options for cases. If you guys have any Questions feel free to ask.

Let's see some pics of the setup.

Will this cable work in place of a dock station?

See the above link after reading this post. Basically, I have the Samsung Universal Smart Dock. It does work w/ my phone well in putting the screen onto an HD monitor. The problem with it is, though, I have a ZeroLemon extended battery, and with that, it will not fit on the dock. I'm going on vacation, soon, so I'd like to be able to mirror my phone onto my TV in my hotel room, which has an HD dock embedded into the furniture. I looked into a micro USB extension, but I believe in this case, there are more connectors on the smart dock than what is available on extension cords, therefore I may not see both audio and video.
That said, can I use a MHL cable (the one linked above) in place of the smart dock? I'm on the Verizon Galaxy Note 4 Retail, KitKat, not rooted.
