Inexpensive Dock for GSM with Case on - Samsung Galaxy Nexus

I've been all over the web, searching for an inexpensive dock that may fit with a case on.
So far I've found a few, has anyone tried these?

I can only speak for number 3 definitely and it will fit with a thin case (TPU) although the stand isn't the most stable. If number 2 is anything like what I had for my Evo it won't fit with a case.

Thanks for your reply. I decided to go a completely different route actually...
I'm gonna write up a DIY Nexus dock that should be dead easy to make with $10 in materials to complete.

Link for Pic #4 is the same as Pic #3 link.
Corrected link for KR-Net Dock. Doesn't look like it'll fit with a case on. For $13, I'll give it a shot with my caseless i515.

Cool thanks!

#1 doesn't charge with a case (sgp neo) hybrid).

Wow, that's the exact case I've got and # 1 was my very first choice for docks. So that answers that question. Thanks!

No worries. It's a shame 'cos it's a nice dock and there's only a couple of mm lacking I think. No way to mod it cleanly either (yes I levered it open and looked :banghead: lol)

i think the best bet for a dock that will fit a gnex with case is the seidio innodock. it has a micro usb that is raised and pivots. seidio says that it works with their active.

I have a phillips fidelio dock for android and I wish manufacutres would build a case that is able to fit into the USB slot. It BARELY fits, but the Micro usb is just a tad bit too short to actually connect and charge the phone!!!

[Q] Are there any cases that will fit in the samsung dock?

I have a SGP silke case and the samsung perforated one, but they wont fit the samsung dock. Are there ant ultra slim cases that will fit in the dock?
Not being able to just put the phone in the dock without taking of the case kind off spoils the whole purpose of using a dock...
I've been wondering the same thing. My Amazon order for the dock was recently cancelled due to no stock. As I've recently fitted a Case-Mate Tough Case I can't see me taking the two layers off each time I want to place the phone in the dock, so I don't think I'll be re-ordering. The dock looks so nice too.
Just got the official Samsung cover and nope, doesn't fit there either. Sucks badly
Unfortunately most mainstream docks don't support cases (from what I've seen, could be wrong). Last phone I had I actually ended up buying two docks and cutting a section out of it due to the case being heavy duty LOL. I tell ya it was a comfy fit for the phone. Quite hard to get out haha

I will be receiving another dock after a week or so. Maybe I have to try and modify it.
BUT I just noticed that I have the official Samsung pouch too and when having that back cover it just gets too big in the pocket and quite hard to get out from it.
Maybe I just go naked. Too bad because I like the feel of the back cover.
Why not just buy the Zenis dock? It fits my phone with casing on perfectly fine.

Because its ugly. The original dock is the only one that's good looking.
It should be really screen protector thickness to fit in that silly non-sync "original" dock. It's pretty for sure but definitely not enough space for any decent case...
Hi!
No, there is not any. Sorry.
I use dock with SGP case Ultra Silke and works OK!

Excellent cheap sync cradle for the T-989

I got 2 of these off eBay: http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-SAMSUNG...159056?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f0f089010
They are meant for the "standard" (AT&T or International) GS2's but it fits my new T-989 perfectly even with the DIZTRONIC TPU case on it. It probably fits most any device with a bottom micro-usb port on it. It comes with a removable rubber adapter for smaller devices. Not bad for $11 from China. Got it in about 10 days. It's a knockoff of the iPhone Universal base. No audio out ports. Just sync/charge.
i purchased the Original from Samsung only $40, and it comes with extra 1850 mAh original battery with NFC

Any pictures? How long did it take for you to receive it?

Ok, but that is $29 more than $11 and most people don't need a $29 battery and NFC is useless for the most part. Plus it doesn't work with a case. Other than that, GOOD DEAL!!

Can you post pics of your T-989 w/ TPU case in the dock?
Do you know if the USB transmits audio and if it has a back 3.55mm jack?
I ordered two of the Sinjimoru Sync stands. They're cool looking and lightweight. I removed the two lock tabs on the cable that make the cable stick in tighter. I'm planning on mounting them to something that won't lift up easily when I try to remove the phone. Overall, worth the $22.

Looks awesome but does it tip over easily? looks unstable

The stand you are linking to doesn't charge or sync. That stand is just a holder with no connection directly to the phone. 2 totally different things with totally different purposes.

It fits my T989 with the Diztronics case no problem and will fit any similar "thinness" case. Snug, but no problem. I looked at the D30 case the other day and put them up against each other and while the left to right size are identical the front to back on the D30 is a bit more and my guess is it wouldn't fit. I was surprised when my Diztronic case fit but it did NOT need to be forced, just a slight push. For $11 you really can't go too wrong.

No audio capability, just charge and sync.
thanks I ordered one
They are still tight on the base, and would tip over if you pushed them. They're fairly stable, but it is kind of a pain to use one hand to hold the base grab the phone.
I did fix that today. I went out into the alley behind the loft and grabbed a brick. A few minutes after meeting the dremel and a little bit of epoxy, they're stable.
http://farm7.staticflickr.com/6233/6366960059_565143ef63_b.jpg
That's what the stands look like mounted to the brick, and in the Body Glove Diamond cases. I did play a little with some LEDs and lighting the bases up, since they're clear/black acrylic and the light travels through them. I'm going to hold off on that for now, but maybe soon.
to choking am a bit confuse on ur pic is that just a stand whit out the option of charging or a stand whit charger?
There is a cable that comes up behind the stand, and snaps into the stand. It charges, and I bet you could use the stand for other phones, but I can't guarantee that. I know it works fine with the T989.
Well thx for ur response ill see if i get my hands on one this on up coming week

Cheap cover from Amazon

Just received a cheap cover from Amazon and very impressed. perfect fit. gaps where gaps are needed. all for a couple of quid !
www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0062M08W0
you can get 5 of them on ebay for about £7 in 5 different colours.

If you want 5 .... in different colours ....
never sure if these all come from the same factory or whether everyone just makes lookalikes....
Just pointing out that this stockist has cases that actually fit. cant vouch for any other suppliers.
(and im in no way linked to the vendor !)

Thanks! ordered one until I can get something better (although it really doesn't look bad, especially for £3!!!)
Ordered! There are many similar cases on the internet but I bought this because this case fits perfectly.
Thanks!
Got one of these for a couple of quid off ebay and was pleasantly surprised. Wish it didn't have the shiny bits on it but it's a good case, fits perfectly.

Got the same case from same seller as the OP.
For a temp case it's bang on. Fits fine. Not too ugly. Dead cheap. £1.89 total price paid, shipped same day in a plain small jiffy bag.
Don't think there are any premium options at this stage either. The Casemate gear advertised on MobileFun and Expansys isn't in yet.
Now about an official charging dock and car mount...

I am using exactly the sam case, it seems to be of decent enough quality. All the right holes in right places and right size. Like you say it fits absolutely perfect. I particuly like the bits over the power and volume buttons and the texture for extra grip. This case is an absolute bargain costing me less than £2
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using xda premium
Got the same case as op bought off ebay all of the cases looked exactly the same.
why are all these cases making access holes for the dock connectors, when if you have a case on your phone, it will no longer sit in the dock?
I got this case in the post today and it fits perfectly.
Not too shabby for a temp case. Definately makes the phone easier to hold. Doesnt feel like its gonna slip out my hand anymore!
Think I am going to have to get a few.
Another positive experience here. Mine arrived today. Phone feels so much more solid in the hand. Thanks for the tip.
mine arrived today. Used link from the OP. Well pleased with the fit and look of the case for the price. The added grip is also MUCH appreciated!
Thanks again to the OP.

I guess there could be third-party docks that can fit the GN with a case on. Just need to make the fit loose enough and have long pogo pins.
Ive got the same case too and can confirm its a great fit and will do me until a proper good case comes out.
Quick update ... a few days in (and several times taken off and put back) and it hasnt stretched or warped at all ! very impreesive for the money
ive bought cheap covers before and usually regretted it but this ones a keeper

Find This Case: Recieve $5

Here's a little something interesting for you guys. I'm looking for a very specific type of holster and I am in need of your mass searching skills to come up with one that meets my requirements. The first person to find one recieves $5. However, it must match EVERY requirement that I will list below. If even one thing is off it does not count but I would like to see it anyways. If nothing is found that meets every requirement, I will award the $5 to the best one I see fit here.
Here are the list of requirements:
All leather (preferably genuine but will accept cheap if it's the only option out there)
Must be a minimum of a horizontal-only holster *No Vertical-only*
(Even better if it has a swivel belt clip but it has to be able to fit horzontally on the belt)
Must have a cut out for BOTH the headphone jack AND the micro-USB port *No Exceptions*
Must fit extended battery with extended back cover
Preferably black leather but may consider other colors
Phone must not be attached to the holster
(Must be meant to easily slide in and out and not made to use in the holster)
Phone must be held in from all sides (no unprotected openings on one side)
If you can find this match I think you well deserve the $5. Best of luck to everyone. Find me something nice.
I can't say for sure about extended... but extended isn't that much bigger, and considering leather stretches more than plastic... it would probably fit

I actually saw this just before and there's a few things I can't tell about this case. Is the phone attached to the case to use it (or is it meant to slide out easily)? Does the headphone cable slide out with the phone or do I have to disconnect it everytime I slide the phone out and then reconnect it again while it's in my hand?
The one almost appears to be more of a case with a belt clip rather than a slideable holster. I will consider it but let's see what others can find. Oh and direct links to cases only, no search result lists.

4th pic shows the accessible earphone and ability to remove from pouch without disconnecting earphone... as for charging, cut out a small slot?
I've looked at more holsters than I ever thought I would.. it seems in all of them you would have to cut some sort of slot to get all your features.

First one was direct. Second one wasn't really (there's a bunch of cases on there not just that same case in other colors).
Something like this is almost perfect: Link
I just wish the front didn't flip out and it didn't have that clear screen protector built-in.

I actually also saw this one. This is also almost perfect I just wish it had the charging slot already there (I don't want to do any modifications, hence why this is not such an easy find).
Something like the mix of this one (no flip front) and the one in my previous post (cut outs for headphones and charger + rotating belt clip) would pretty much be exactly what I need.

As for this... you can (ghetto, I know) glue the flip out part to the leather border, then cut the straps on the right side (not the securing magnetic strap but the ones connecting the frame to the back) this way you have a pocket and can remove the phone from the side.
Not ideal - but yep, definitely can't find the ideal one

i like noreve cases, been using them since i had a nokia 6630, and have one on order for the galaxy nexus as well
i wouldnt recommend going with the top 2 class of leathers, since they do take some effort to maintain them, although they do look nice

Hmm, very interesting case but boy what a price. I can't tell if this is a case or a holster though. It looks like it's just a case with a belt clip. Also although they mention access to the charging port but I don't happen to see that on those photos. Unfortanatly there are quite a number of things limiting this for me but thank you for showing this anyways. I appreciate your effort.

Good quality, I have used them on my last 3 phones

Think they are closed for chinese new year at the moment, but check them out, might be what your looking for

I'm not after your reward, so you can keep it, i'm only here to help in all ways.
I will be going to shenzhen china in about a weeks time, they have plenty of these, i'll have a look for you, but as mention, finding one that has the openning for USB and headphone socket at it's right place isn't easy, but find a leather holster that hangs horizontal that fit's the gnex isn't hard, but no promises.
As for cost, sholdn't cost more than USD 10 not including shipping.

I was happy until I read this :
*Note: Case does not expose 3-pin connector and is not guaranteed to be compatible with any other manufacturer's products unless otherwise stated
WHYYYYYYY!
Well it's not like it would fit into the 3-pin car dock with this on it anyways

But this gets rid of any hope I had of any dock. Even a Seidio dock would of been nice. I do not like to cover up features that are on the phone with a case.
ok good thing I waited. This will likely be the case I order. sooner better be real soon though
looks too thick, just get a pouch and go naked
