What's on the side of Verizon's GNex? - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

Just got my grubby mitts on this. It can't be an antenna, and I've never seen it on the side of the phone. Help? It could be a car dock, it's just sad that it uglifies the side.

It's not mine, I just came across one of them. Silly that they dock to the side. Hide that stuff.

I actually like it.

It is not just Verizon's GN.
They are called pogo pins and they're used for desk or car dock connection.

Those pins on the side allow you to snap it in and out of a dock like a car dock without having to deal with the USB port at all.

[Verizon] desk top cradle charger

Found this on amazon while looking for a new battery door. It doesn't specify whether or not it uses the pogo pins. Maybe some here will be interested in this. I will be ordering next week and I will post up a full review.

Overprices USB cable, no pogo pins.

I think the case is the hardware you're referring to.
Yes charging wirelessly requires either a pogo-pin or a usb-connected back-case. And I can assure you it will charge slower than a pc-usb connection
I am trying and looking for a qi charging receiver like this kit http://product.madeinchina.com/2012-Newest-Portable-QI-Wireless-Charger-Cable_14117282.shtml

YSK: The Nexus 5 sits nicely in an old Droid 1 stand

I'll probably get a Qi charger eventually, but this works well in the meantime. It doesn't detect the stand as a stand, sadly, but it's still a handy spot to put it. Crappy pics taken with my Droid 1.

Wow, well, thats an idea! I've got one flying around from my old Milestone 2, it even has the removable inlay to use it with cases, so it should have space enough for using it with my Nexus 5 with a case on.
As soon as I'm home, I'll try it out, let's see, probably going to re-life this old thing

There should be a lazypod for tablets that's universal, I ordered one before but it broke as it was fake and weak. But it did fit and work. I don't think there's a specific one for the tab S but a universal one should do.

this is the first one i see supporting this size, too bad it is very expensive and not the best for bed
holy **** the shipping is $90 to Europe xD

Desktop Dock (I found one that works)

Granted, it took a bit of Dremel work to get the OPO to fit in the cradle, but not a lot. After shaving some off the sides and doing a little cutting at the point where the bottom of the phone sits in the cradle, it works like a charm. And since it's a universal dock, you can orient the connector any which way. And, as a bonus, it has a Bluetooth handset.
I found this at Target. It's a Sharper Image product and was on sale for $9 (down from $30).
