Dock Station

I really want to get a dock station so I can use the Desk Home and maybe watch some movies at work.
Does anyone know where to get one?

samsung accessory page - but they're not available yet

Nah, screw the Home Dock, who needs features like
'charging' and 'audio output' when you can have this little piece of genius:
most useful invention evar
When you're done using it to prop up your phone at work,
you can use it to clean all the **** outta your desk when your boss catches you.

How would you dock a phone that has its power connector on the top... LOL

It slides in sideways. Hence the desk app.

Make a paperclip stand!
I made one of these and it works great for my Vibrant. I have it on my desk at the office and plug the usb into my computer. I've been watching videos during lunch using this thing with no problems.
Can't beat that for $0.01. I did have to make three before I got it just right, so maybe the cost is more like $0.03.

Look at my paperclip stand. Its perfect, I just have to be carefull don't scratch it with the edges.

Ignore this. I dont know how delete a post

I made 3 or 4 of the paper clip ones and just never felt that it was that sturdy. Oh well. Off to the supply room to rumage for supplies.

You could use pencil erasers on the ends to not scratch it

Nice I like the idea
Now the price goes from $0.01 to $0.02

I was thinking something like bending the tips down or something

I've been wondering about this dock for a while now. Supposedly someone said they saw it in a video on Samsung's website, but I haven't seen anything. I hope it comes out soon, though. I really want one!

could use electrical tape as well, then you could make it in a variety of colors

I like the idea but its not very portable. I was thinking of getting one of those batrest stands.

Found this with a google search http://www.seskimo.com/batrest.php
Looks interesting. If you click the amazon link on that page it pulls up some other low cost stands.
I just ordered this last night http://www.amazon.com/elago-Stand-A...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280882983&sr=8-42
For $3.99 plus shipping, I figured why not.

I think this is it?

That's the one.

PowerMat for Our Vibrant!

This looks great! Anyone getting it?

No, but Radioshack needs to learn how to make a advertisement properly...if anyone clicks on the link and sees the picture they know what I mean

Yep......Vibrant/4G =/= i9000

Actually the body of the Vibrant and the i9000 is the same, so it wouldn't matter.

If it was slimmer like the "pebble" some phones have, than I would definitely consider it. But I'd prefer a small cord you can easily move to the side, rather than the mat. Plus, if your texting while charging and you prefer to actually hold your phone while texting, there would be a lot of "plugging/unplugging" so to speak. (Not literally plugging in, but you know what I mean. Lol).

it looks interesting i would buy it but i would have to see what people have to say first seems kinda iffy
____________________________________________

They had this at walmart. Fits vibrant and galaxy s 4g. Was considering it but it adds some thickness to the phone so decided not to. Only $40 tho

I thought someone posted that the fit was terrible on these? That people had ordered them, but ultimately returned because they were too loose.
EDIT Scratch that... I'm thinking of these http://www.power-skin.com/battery-cases/ap1505i90/samsung-galaxy-powerskin.html

My powermat had finally come in and mine seems to fit fine.No wobble or anything!

I just got mine today fits with no problem at all and it is snug.... it works great i love it....

How's the thickness of it tho? Does it add a lot? I was looking at getting one also, but wanted some reviews first.

it isnt much bigger, the bump on the back is still there all it does is replace the back cover on the phone i can always take before and after pics if you want.....

I would love to see some pics. Also that tab that sticks up on the top, is it removable? Not really digging that. Thanks.

Aluminum /plastic case

Just joined the SGS3 forum, not sure if it's been posted, just want to share this new case that I have just purchased, it's good for the looks, thin and very light weight, but will not take much of a drop, the clips that holds the aluminum are rather thin.
Anyway here are some picture.

Beautiful, how much does it cost?

hmmm
intreested in more info/pics

It cost me HKD 128 (USD 16)

How secure is the connection between the bumper and the back? From the pictures, seems like it would disconnect if you dropped it.

Ahhh. I've been searching ebay, no luck in finding this

there are many cases for mobile phone sold in china and hong kong that you won't find on ebay, and many more that's only available in china only.

Looks good. I like aluminum stuff, but doesn't it affect signals somehow?

Nice I really like the look

Waterproof case that allows camera use

Hi All,
I'm going on holiday soon to a sunny island and will be out at sea...
Was wondering if there's a case on the market with a see through back that would allow me to use the S3 under water? If so could you please post me a link to where I could buy one?

You can only use it once though and i think you can have it underwater for around 30 min.

I have this on my watch list. hard to know if you can really trust it tho

Ive never heard of that company "Protector F" the one from amazon ive seen several videos on people actually test it so if it were me i would go with something i trust if my phones going under water.

Easy old trick is a sandwich bag and a little silicone. I know fishermen friends who did that with the Motorola bricks back in the day. But your real issue is the capacitive touch screen. It'll probably not pick up your fingers. Ever tried to use your phone with a drop on the screen? Tends to throw it off.

This one looks promising. I like the idea of the vacuum seal, I will probably be ordering at some point. You can find them cheaper if you look around.

Geez, $40? IMO, for that kind of price, I think it would be beneficial cost wise to use the sandwich bag gimmick as stated above but find someone with one of those airtight bag sealers to protect the device furthermore. That's pretty much what that dry case is anyway, just in a more easy to use, continual usage, professional looking wrap.

iFace Anti-shock Case

What do you guys think?
Here's a link to the shop on ebay: Link.
I'm looking for something a little stylish in design and came across this.
I'm trying to favor Form over the actual function of a case. I'm almost tempted to get this one, but I wanted to see what others had as an opinion on it.

This case looks very similar to the iOttie Macaron case (see here)
If it is similar to that case as in feel and fit for the phone then I will buy this case immediately. I loved my iOttie for my iPhone 5 when I had it.

im really digging this case. might get it when funds arrive lol. anyone wanna buy a cruzer lite case? lol

If you are interested in the iFace case, you can get the Tank version that looks the same for less, only difference seem to be it doesn't have the "Gold Electro Magnetic Wave Blocking Sticker"

No way, the iFace looks like a normal case with nothing crazy. The other one looks like a kids phone.

I got my case in the mail over the weekend. I'll post pictures later.
Overall, it's very nice. The grip feels very good in the hand, and the case itself makes a perfect fit around the phone. The buttons aren't too tight like I've seen on other cases, but they make good enough contact that they work with every press. I'd even go as far as saying that pressing the buttons in the case feel more tactile than pressing the buttons on the phone itself.
My one complaint has to do with the rounded back. Oftentimes when I'm at restaurants or sitting at my desk, I'll set my phone on the table to use it. The rounded back makes the touch screen awkward to use as the case tends to slide the phone around a bit, or spin in place. I'd also gripe that the "iFace" logo is upside down when the phone is in proper landscape mode for camera use. No big deal though.
I got my case in the Android shade Lime-green color, but it comes in many different colors.
Also, Shipping took exactly two weeks for me, but YMMV.

It's not a whole lot to look at, but hopefully it helps. Excuse the orange paint stains on my kitchen counter. It's really bothering me in these pictures.
The back. Ample enough protection for the camera lens.
Spoiler
I really like the rounded contours along the perimeter of the phone. it feels good in the hand. It's got a soft rubbery grip. I actually nearly dropped my phone while taking one of these pictures, luckily for the grip...I managed to catch it in time.
Spoiler
The space for the MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack: Could be a bit tight for some, but works for all of my cords. My largest USB has quite a snug fit.
Spoiler
EDIT:WHELP, spoiler tags don't work like I assumed. Also, If you notice the ruler in the background, I was going to try and get some measurements, but a paper ruler doesnt do me very good when trying to figure out a difference between a couple milimeters. As far as thickness goes, the case doesn't even add a full milimeter. The sides are a bit of a different story, due to the rounded edges.

iFace case is strongly recommended for the Optimus G. It is very good quality with excellent grip.
Here is a link;
iFace first class Optimus G case

I've had a number of....accidental drop tests. This is truly a great case. The rubber bump-edge really does an excellent job protecting from falls. These aren't just little baby falls either, for instance, last night, my poor little phone fell from my hand, about 5 feet onto hard brick flooring. I've yet to acquire a single scratch anywhere on my phone!
