I know the Car Dock comes with an insert for the phone if you do, or don't have a case on it. Confirmed today that the laptop dock does too. I assume that all the docks have this, but haven't seen an entertainment dock or standard dock. If anyone can confirm with pics, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's the laptop dock one in pics attached to this post.

I don't have pics but the Multimedia dock and Standard dock are the same way
I've got the MM dock and the car dock, and have played with the charging and LT docks in store. All have the little panel that pops out. The speck sorta works with the MM, charging, and LT docks, but not at all with the car dock. I now have the feather, which works with all 4.
I have the BodyGlove case from AT&T, and it works great on the laptop and car dock.
Son of a mother f*cking b*tch!!!!!! I already sent back my standard dock!!!!!!!!!
I have a Otterbox Commuter case, do you think that it would fit with the insert removed? The micro plug was really close to getting there, just couldn't make it work.
I know that even with my thin Body Glove case, the phone wouldn't even think of fitting in the laptop, but with the insert out, fits with ease. Could work fine, but I haven't dealt with the Commuter case yet.

I hate you... thanks for the info. guess I might re-order and give it a try.

Wait a minute... I'll run down to the local AT&T store, they always have the Atrix in the Multimedia dock (same dimensions as the standard dock). I'll pop out the insert there and see if my case will fit.

Yep, my store didn't get the multimedia dock, just the laptop dock. We haven't recieved the otterbox defender in either, only seen them online. Best of luck, let us know what you find.
Well, no dice with the otterbox commuter case... I went to the local AT&T store, took the insert out of the standard dock, and the micro adapter still wouldn't reach. You should have seen the look on the dumb ass sales persons face... haha priceless.
I'm also assuming the otterbox defender case will not work either, as it is larger than the commuter case. Thanks anyway, still good info. to know.
Well I hope I'm not a thread-killer as I posted this several days ago in another thread and never had any comments on it...
I searched around on many forums but found no discussions about the "larger case" insert documented in the manual, at least for the Multimedia dock.
It's listed in the manual as part number SJYN0722A. The manual indicates that it is included when purchasing the dock and is for use with a "ruggedized" case. This is also referenced at Motorola's FAQ on accessories for use with a "2 shot battery door fit plate", whatever that is/was.
The insert that is being removed is part number SJYN0723A.
Anyone have this 22A insert or know anything about it? Was it discontinued before the docks were even released?
I have the Incipio Feather case and have removed the insert as discussed to use it in the Multimedia dock. It works, but does not physically support the phone at all as others have mentioned.
Thanks!

Not killing the thread at all, more info is always welcome. I would assume that the other part number is just the dock connector with no insert on it.
Sorry to double post if you already put this up, hadn't seen anything and it was cool to find out.
Thanks link12245
The manual specifically speaks to two inserts. One for just the phone and one for "over-sized" cases.
I guess that it never made it to production and Motorola didn't change the manuals....
motorola forgot to add the plate
i spoke to motorola support @ 800-734-5870, they acknowledged that the plate (part #: SJYN0722A) should have been included. they will refund the full amount for the dock & advised me to repurchase it online. the newer docks now includes this part.

I was going to call support, but thought I would ask around first.
I purchased this from Amazon and got it last week. I'll see if they have new stock for a return and/or give Motorola a call to see if I can find out who has fresh stock that has the insert.
So it's time to find a car mount for the SGS2.
For the HD2 I used an air vent mount (this). I don't like the windscreen suction mounts (just my preference, even though they tend to be more flexible in terms of positioning the device), and the positioning of the air vent mount is almost perfect in my car. The only thing that is a little annoying is that the fixed one obviously don't allow any turning at all, which can be annoying when it's sunny as I'd prefer to have the screen point more directly at me.
Therefore I'm looking for an air vent mount that has some sort of swivel included - basically something similar to this for, or perhaps something more generic like this or this.
Has anyone used any of these (or the windscreen suction mount equivalents) from either Ultimate Addons or Arkon? How well made and durable are they? How well do they hold their position?
Are there other ones I've missed that I should consider?
Thanks in advance for any input!
I'm looking for the same thing, preferably specific to the S2 (much better to slip it into a custom holder, rather than placing it in a generic one then tighten the grips etc).
Something like this (no link allowed.. see gripmount on mobilefun) on the air vent would be great.
I also like vent holders! I just buy a cheap generic one and modify it to fit my needs.
Obviously this involves taking apart my vent and drilling holes in the phone holder, put you get just the thing you need! Plus its also wayyyy more stable as you use cable ties to get it solidly in place.
The mounts that usually come with the vent holder are flimsy and usually end up falling off!
The gripmount on mobilefun looks great, but I can't see how it manages to fit the SGS2 both with and without a case! I'm using a silicone skin with mine and would rather have something that will work without me having to take it on and off. Is the mount slightly bendy so the phone just clips in? Anyone got any experience of these?
I've decided to just hold fire until the official Samsung mount comes out - it looks pretty good on their website and I can order the desktop dock at the same time.
Breffo multi-fuctional Car-dock/Cradle
I saw this product last year and thought this might be interesting?! My apologies for not yet have those for review, didn't need it yet. But when i have a car this i would definitely buy.
The brand is Breffo and the product is Spiderpodium, there website is www.breffo.com
Interesting idea . . . on fleabay for £13 (item 200603319280)
Might pick one up and see how it works as a vent holder . . .
Edit: The reviews are great, so ordered a black one off ebay. There are white ones for just £8 on Amazon if you're not fussed about colour! Will return and let y'all know how well it works . . .
Spiderpodium looks superb, definitely getting one of those. One of the ebay sellers is only around the corner from me, so I've contacted to ask if I can collect. Will report back once I've got hold of one.
I've made my own:
robbiekhan that looks awesome, good work. How much would you charge to make more had to ask lol
It's simple case (hah!!) of sticking and cutting a few bits together really so i couldn't charge to do such a thing as you'd be much better off doing it lol, plus it's fun, something you've made and it can be a conversation piece
My HTC Desire mount DIY article can be found on LifeHacker, method is exactly the same, just omit anything Desire for Galaxy S II

Just bought this: http://www.dealextreme.com/p/car-windshield-mini-holder-swivel-mount-for-cell-phone-5-0-7-5cm-41529
It's just under 4€ :O So you can't go wrong whit it.

That looks very good actually! Going to buy! If anything it means I don't need to take my phone out of the case
I'm going to pick up a Griffin Windowseat I think, as I need something compatible with other phones too.
I have got one one the magic mounts (aka Dash Genie), but due to the textured back the SGS2 doesn't stick
If you wanted universal vent mount, have a look at this by Herbert Richter. If you however want a device specific, and if you want a small project, than I see that Brodit holder for Samsung Galaxy S II seems to be listed, you can covert this into a vent mount or windscreen suction mount using this adaptor plate.
Nice - thanks. For now I decided to take a punt on the £8 white Spiderpodium for its uniqueness - when it arrives I'll see how well made and durable it is, and if that doesn't work out I think a custom/self-made solution might well be the way to go.

I wonder if this will work if you attatch it to the windshield...
On the left of the SGS2 there are the volume buttons. And the miniholder, is really, ehhhh, mini... So I think the phone will hit the window, or if you place it in the holder in a way the phone does not hit the window the volume buttons will be pressed all the time...
here you can have a look at the upcoming official htc one x accessories. thought it was a good idea to put them in a seperate thread
http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_phone.aspx?i=229814
heres some detailed info on some of the neat things http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/blog/2012/02/htc-one-x-accessories-available-first-from-mobile-fun/ but the one that catches my eye is the HTC One X Speaker Dock CR S650 can just keep my fingers crossed that someone releases a case which extends the pogo pins.
strange is that when i search for more images info etc on the s650 i get this dock http://www.parrotshopping.com/us/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884 its the same on this this page http://www.htcaccessorystore.com/uk/p_htc_item.aspx?i=229884&phone=229814 and on alot of pages so i guess they got the images mixed up..

ohh that one..
was wondering why is it call a hard shell when there is a flip there...
no way am i getting a casing with a flip cover on it.. hate those designs..
I ordered this case and it came this morning: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Rubberised-...MCYA/ref=sr_1_7?ie=UTF8&qid=1331982985&sr=8-7
First impressions- I don't like the way it's not going to completely cover the top or bottom of the phone, it also seems like the kind of case that clips on - not a big fan - (I'll see how it fits when I get the device) - material seems good though (hard plastic).
May be a good stop gap until casemate get their tough cases out (loath to pay 30 quid though, but always found them to offer A+ protection)
@jermx i think this is a stand becouse this case is transparent

but noticed something, and maybe its just me having a complete lack of sleep (long story), but it seems the dock uses micro usb port of the phone, but if you think about which way you dock the phone, wouldnt that be the wrong side of the phone?
can someone confirm, or am i going crazy?

I thought the exact same thing earlier. The location of the micro usb plug on there would mean that the micro usb port on the phone would have to be on the right hand side, but in all pictures it's been on the left hand side.
Perhaps it's a mirror image, for some reason?
the phone has 5 metal dots on the back. these are the dock connection. not the micro-usb port.
Hi,
I'm new there, get Galaxy SII about a month ago. Since the beggining I'm using the Otterbox Commuter case and trying to connect charger in the total darkness makes my angry too often, I wanted to get wireless.
I know that there are some topics on xda already but none of u decided to go that way - IMO the easiest way.
I've used my Otterbox case and Powermat Wireless Charging System for Blackberry Curve 8520/9300 (u can find it at Amazon, search for B00462QB4W at really nice price ~6 pounds). Basically, u just need to take out coil and electronics from the blackberry cover with the socket (yes, that tiny socket on side of the cover) & pull out micro usb<->electronics connector. Now u can bin blackberry cover as ts useless now.
Next the worst thing, I have to cut out some more plastic on the hard part of the case and connector, to make the usb plug more in the middle(it not gonna fit as u get it) - making all fit properly was the hardest thing.
Easy - stick coil with PCB on the middle of your case, remember about socket which have to be exactly in the middle of the cutout for charger. I have used some super glue to stick this socket to case.
Now easy - X-acto knife and cut out srubber part of the case - need space for electonic - until I did it there was no chance at all to put phone into case.
Everything done - time to test wireless case for SGS2 and... it doesn't work
Quick check and the problem was between plug & socket on the case - the solution was to put some rubber from the case on the connector which isn't too thick.
I've put phone again into case, put on the Powermat plate and... it's charging finally
All that work took about 25-30 minutes.
U need just some super glue, sharp knife, sandpaper, site cutters can be also helpfull
If u don't feel too much in DIY stuff this way gonna be the best for u - No need to solder anything
Any questions? Feel free to ask
Yeah, nice work, but I wish to see video or photo because it is easy way to understand the idea my friend

Hello all,
the guys from Rhinosheild launched a new product on Kickstarter. Currently it's only for IPhone but if we gather some people around here, they might do a bumber for our Z3C, too!
Anyone interested? Just post here and let me know if you would want it or why not!
If you want to know more about the bumber just look at their Kickstarter page:

Just a small side note:

Guys, posting here that "you would like this too" accomplishes nothing.
If you want to see this made, email them at [email protected], they're recording the number of requests they get.

The preorder started! Let's get it funded!

Fantastic! Please, cover all flaps area leaving accessible only the magnetic connector.

That's actually a great idea. I like it

Looks great but I'm not interested unless the bumper becomes a case for the back too - remember my phone is MADE OF GLASS what use is a bumper when the back is exposed (and I'm not going to class a *stick on* film as a suitable protection for the rear)

I've already asked about this. Had the same idea. I would like it optimal and the user should be able to add or remove it when he likes to.

"cover all flaps" +1
I'll by it :good:
Problem with makers is they're looking for volumes which is why you see gazzilions of things for iPhones & Samsung galaxies, which all sell by the boatload. Lower volume selling devices don't get a look in.

and headphone jack please. I'm interested. I already have placed order for front and back rhino shield so a bumber would complete the set nicely.
+1 "cover all flaps"
but it should be magnetic charger compatible... :good:
I would love one as well. With just headphone and magnetic ports exposed.
Same here, I saw that the other day and thought it was a shame they didn't make one for the Z3c. So yes definitely would be interested if like the others said before me it has the jack and the magnetic port accessible.
Yep me too, as others have said, keep it covered, and just expose the magnetic port , there seems to be no good cases made for this phone.
If they had one of these for the z3c, I would buy it in a heartbeat. Cover everything except the headphone port (even the mag port if that's what's needed to make this structurally sound). Popping off the bumper at night to charge wouldn't bother me a bit.
I've just emailed them about it, see if I get a response...
Yessssss! Do it! Thank you for taking the action ?
