Docks made for the OG SGS II...

Just wondering if anyone knows if they would work with our version...
Send from my SGSIIE4T using the XDA app for Android

Epic 4G Touch has slightly larger dimensions and is a bit more curvy. So more than likely not.

OK, so now that the phone has been out for awhile, someone certainly has tried a dock for the SGS2 to see if they work.
I know that our phones are 1mm thicker but there must be some docks that only support the back of the phone. If the usb port is in the middle of the phone then it's only .5mm thicker from there to the rear of the phone, that means if a case has just a wee-bit of slack it should work for our phones... right??
I'm about to start ordering some SGS2 docks from Amazon and see if I can find one that works. If you have already done so then save the rest of us some headaches.
Thanks!

I own both phones, and the E4GT is not only slightly thicker but slightly wider (see dimensions comparison on this page).
You might be able to find an Infuse 4G dock that fits the E4GT though.

Thanks for your input. It's nice to hear from someone who actually owns the device (s) in question.
I'll keep looking and maybe find an infuse dock to try.
Thanks again,
Chad

I am using a Seidio innodock JR that I had from my palm treo pro. It is a charger only I think. Its OK but not a custom fit by any means. I am happy to recycle it though.

http://amzn.com/B005NJ6EPI <--- this from Amazon is the kind of idea I was thinking of. It should work for any device with a micro USB on the bottom of the device. There are even tablet stands that would work in a pinch. I think I am going to order one from Amazon and report back.
Thanks,
Chad

Nice but Expensive, I think

I agree on the expensive part! I like the idea of the one above better because it allows for landscape use also.

Would the docking features work in this dock? I don't want it just to charge......

Got case on phone, is there a desktop charger that will fit?

Got a TPU case on my phone and love it. Is there a desktop charger other than the seidio one that could fit it?

Just use a USB cord with a case with a prop, works great

I got a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-II-I9100-ZENIS-DESKTOP-DOCK-CHARGER-CRADLE-/220883609072?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270865448058%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5859734319996833550
and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.

Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Someone just posted a review of the RND Power Solutions dock in this forum.

Looks like his LTE phone with a thin case was a tight fit, so this may not be what you are looking for :-(

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..

That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

Has any of you bought from 4u-mobi??
Galaxy Nexus-Tapatalk

I finally got the charging dock from 4u-mobi and can confirm that the GSM model with a casemate barely there case will fit..
I also got a s-curve TPU case, that fit this dock as well....
In both combinations you need to take off the insert

what about the clingo desktop stand. i;ve been looking at getting a universal desktop dock so that i can use it with a case and future phones.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.

Dual Case Compatible Charging Dock

Obviously Samsung is more well known, but has anyone heard of EZOPower. They have the exact Dual Case comp dock, they look almost alike except for labeling. Is it as good
which to go for? it is only 19 compared to $27
Thank YOu

Since all this is is a charging dock, there is little for it be "better" or "worse". Essentially, all it is is a USB cable, with large head. personally i would go for the cheap one. If you were looking at a multimedia dock, it would be different.
personally, i would go for the hyperion one (also on amazon, and I cannot post links, yet because new members aren't allowed to help people directly, so you have to search for it) and save 2 bucks more.

thanks again
I found it. I had a bad experience with the wall chargers from them One didn't work. took awhile to get a refund
It looks ok tho.
1. It looks case compatible, don't you think?
2. The title says GS3, but the description says Galaxy Note. I do think it is for the S3
3. I did find the Kidigi which is more than that, the original Samsung, or the EZOPower, the Deluxe Piano Black Charging Cradle Dual Purpose Case Compatible. I dont know where to get it.
Thank You

I actually like this dock. Would LOVE to hear from anybody who has it if it would fit a thicker case like the Incipio Silicryilc. It's still fairly thin but not quite the skin-like cases that many love.

My thoughts:
1. case compatible? probably not... unless you have a dremel... if you do: yes it is.
2. with that shape, if it works for the note, i BET it works for the S3, as the S3 is thinner... but it might be "floppy"
3. kidigi says that the only US retailer is hypercel, but hypercel's website does not have it listed....

Armstrap for running/biking

Curious if anyone has one or knows of a manufacturer that is selling them. I would like to start running and biking with a bit more comfort as I find the screen to large to keep in my pocket when doing these activities.
Thanks!

You might look into the Tune Belt AB85. There's a video on YouTube where the guys shows how it holds a Galaxy Note so surely the S3 would fit. The AB86 is designed for the Galaxy Nexus so you might look into that too. I own a Tune Belt that works with my Galaxy S2 and I found it to be a good product.

Funny you mentioned Tunebelt, I just received a message from one of their customer reps that the Galaxy Nexus model should fit the S3 perfectly.
Can be purchased directly or through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Arm...2572943&sr=8-1&keywords=Tunebelt+galaxy+nexus
Similarly I managed to make my Droid X Tunebelt accommodate the S3 (after some minor alterations )

Has anyone tried the AB86 model? I have a smaller TuneBelt that I used with my HTC Desire, and there is no way that you can get headphones in with the S3 going in to the holder top-first (as I'd want to use it), as the neoprene covers exactly where the headphones are. There are only gaps in the corners and middle. It would work going in bottom-first, as then the headphone access would be at the open end.
Does the AB86 model improve this to allow headphone access from either end with the S3?
I've been happy with the build quality of the TuneBelt. Another cheaper but similar looking alternative that I've seen is from iGadgitz http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...for-samsung-galaxy-s3-iii-i.html#.UEi0oo1lQs4
That's specifically for the S3, so should definitely have the correct headphone access, as well as labelling where buttons are. Has anybody got any feedback on this?

I wasn't too happy with how the TuneBelt fit, so I returned it and picked up a Belkin EaseFit Plus. It's a much better fit for both my arm and the phone. My only complaint is that, despite it's claims, it is most decidedly not sweat-proof. Maybe it is from the front, but not so at all from the back. The TuneBelt seemed to do a somewhat better job at keeping the phone dry from sweat, probably because the fabric is heavier/thicker.

Best place to get accessories for the Note 10.1?

Now, I know that the SGN10.1 is compatible with pretty much all of the Galaxy Tab items. But, the thing is, where would be the best place to get them? I haven't really looked past amazon, yet. But what I have found that would work with the Note 10.1 (taking in to account all the docks for the Galaxy Tab are smaller in size than the SNG10.1) is a simple USB and SD Card reader that plugs into the device. It looks rather good, but does anyone know if that's worth it? Or is there better options? The link for it is here: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Gal...MG/ref=sr_1_14?ie=UTF8&qid=1348269326&sr=8-14
A website that ships internationally is claiming to have the Galaxy Note 10.1 keyboard in stock. Found here: http://www.clove.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-note-101-keyboard-dock
Also, a great looking case would have to be found here! http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/samsung-galaxy-tab-10-1-rotatable-leather-case-and-stand-p32309.htm
It's similar to the swivelling iPad one. Essentially a copy. Wish I seen this before getting my one!
What accessories have you found, so far?
I'll post anything I find that seems note-worthy! Excuse the pun.

I have those two adapters, not from that seller, and they work fine... The OEM samsung ones.
And my purchases are a mixture of Amazon and EBay for my tablet needs.

Yeah, I ordered it from Amazon themselves just to be sure. Was only two quid extra. I didn't even think of ebay lmao. I was googlingi t and I found a lot of nice stuff.

I ended up going for the Terrapin Pu-Leather Folio Case. It adds a bit of bulk to the tablet, but it does keep it well protected, and looks really good. You can take the case off of the folio part to make it lighter, or to change the angle of the note.
