Found a dock that works with TPU Case - Samsung Epic 4G Touch

Ok ... So after much searching, and not being happy with what I found out there, I finally came up with a solution to a dock that works with the TPU case I have for my E4GT ... Photos attached. The links below are to the case I have, and the dock I bought.
The only thing extra I had to do was take a dremel and widen the sides a bit, took me about 5 min to do each dock( did 3, all working fine ). Let me know what you think, could be a solution for those out there with this popular case and want a working dock that both charges and syncs
I may clean it up a bit, right now my only gripe, and it's a small one, is the phone sits a little to "straight up", which I'm sure could be fixed with a little more dremel work, but for 5 min and $11 it's a good solution in my eyes
TPU Case
Dock off Ebay

How much wiggle room ya got? I've got a Casemate on mine, which adds substantially more bulk than your TPU seems to add.

Yea, that probably wont work for you then ... I can take as much as I need off the back, can take about 1/8" more off each side, but the bottom is pretty tight...

Thanks RubenRybnik, i bought the this cradle off ebay, from your recommendation, for my Sprint ET4G with an extended battery (3800 mah)...works great! I have no TPU case...just the extended battery and back cover. The seller shipped it fast from Korea...product only comes with the dock only-no usb cable or ac adapter. No problem for me since I have many micro usb cables around. He lowered the price to $10.90 (i paid $11.30)...

Galaxy 10.1 Starter Bundle (15 Items)

Just purchased this... I'll post a review upon receipt. I was going to purchase the ArmorSuit screen cover and rooCase Executive, but thought I'd give this bundle a shot... surely once of the cases will pass The accessories are a nice bonus, especially car adapter & retractable cable.

What a great deal. I look forward to your review. I agree even if the cases suck you get some great accessories.
I already had a post on this. I think I was the first to recieve one. I paid 9.99. I have some pics and was very impressed with the silicone and you case. Although the flu was supposed to be black and the clear silicone. They were the opposite. All the holes were cut and lined up very well. All accesories were 2100ma.
Too many pics to post so here's an album.

Whoa, did you get this same package that's linked to Amazon for only $9.99? If so, where? $10 is worth it even if it's to have an extra USB cord/charger for the office. I hate carrying my one proprietary cable around to make sure I have enough juice wherever I go.

Definitely looking forward to your review. This looks to be worth it for $35 although the leather case looks pretty ghetto and I bet the quality of the chargers, cables will be sub-par.
What the heck is the fishbone for???

Yes I did get this same one. I caught it the first morning they posted it. A few days later amazon picked it up for $19.99. Now it's at $35.99. The two skin type cases fit perfect with the slimmest profile. The leather case as stated in my post is backup purpose type. The fishbone is for rolling up your headphones where they don't get tangled up. Shipping was two days and they shipped the same day I ordered it.
I got this when it was $9.99. I wish I'd bought more than one!
I had originally purchased the flip case at Best Buy when I bought the Tab for $49. I like the flip case in this bundle deal much better!
Funny as it may seem I've grown accustomed to using the stylus. I like it a lot.
The two power supplies included, car and wall, are both 2100ma so they're strong enough to charge the Tab.
The two snap on cases, a black gel-like one and a hard plastic clear one, fit perfectly. In fact, the clear one fits so good it's hard to get off.
The ear buds included are smaller than normal. I normally hate ear buds but these fit my ear canal much better and are really comfortable.
I'm amazed at all the stuff that I got for $9.99. This is better than a Woot Bag of Crap!
Even at $35 it's an excellent deal. Go for it.
Quick update to what has already been reviewed:
1) Silicone cases are great, both black (favorite) and white
2) Portfolio case is great, especially if you carry business cards
Pretty much everything else is junk The car charger doesn't actually charge the TAB. The retractable plug would be awesome if it charged from a computer USB or car outlet, but it doesn't. The fishbone was a neat idea, but it actually kinks up your headphone cord (and is a PAIN to unravel).
My screen cover didn't align with my Galaxy - the 'hole' was offset to the camera (it aligns with the light sensor - weird).
The only other thing I used was the aux cable - it is good for plugging the TAB into my home stereo system.
For the three cases, its still a good deal - but don't get your hopes up
Ghost
And, now it's up to $50. Not worth it at that price.
So I went in for one of these..
Initial impressions:
The 3 cases.. Eh.. the leather book case makes the tab SUBSTANTIALLY heavier.. However, since I'm using a netbook bag to carry everything around, this doesn't bother me. Its sturdy, and as long as I have a level surface, I can stand it up.. The rubberized covers fit nice, and I've not decided which I'm going to stick with (using the bookcover for now)..
The stylus works
The car charger WORKS..
The screen protector: Someone had mentioned fitment issues, but I had none of that.. All the holes lined up where they should, on the cases and the protector itself.
The extra 30-pin non-retractable cable is basically a duplicate of the stocker.. works for power charge in the car at least, I've not tried a data connection..
I've not tried the retractable one for anything, nor the AC adapter. Total cost was $57, and while not cheap, the cases and the working car adapter helps me justify the cost.. the rest is gravy.

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

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.

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

Case mate pop case review

Hello, I have been searching for a while for the best case and purchased several cases, and I think for me, the pop case is the best of all. (I have some TPU cases from amazon, case mate tough case, and pop case ( I wanted to try the otterbox, but after using the pop case I am going to just use this case)
Picture qualities are pretty bad, but it gives pretty good idea how it looks life overall. I have a white one, and it really makes my Gnex much more fancy and its really rugged with dual protection, so no worries about dropping the phone. All the buttons works perfectly all ports are working great as well.
Does it add much bulk? I'm looking to get it.
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using XDA App
Does the USB cable that comes stock still fit with this case on? Reviews on Amazon say it doesn't.
also interested if the usb cable fits.
thanks

Yes the USB cable which came with "GSM unlocked galaxy nexus (which I have) does not fit but I have a OEM cable which came with verizon galaxy nexus which fits perfectly...(never used the cable that came with this..) so I never really knew untill now lol well if you have any other cable it fits well
I wonder if it works with the exttended battery?? Looks good
Yes it does fit very well with the extended battery. USB charger is not an issue if you have one that fits. Looks like Casemate removed the Pop and Tough case from their website. Could it be because they are looking into these issues?

Dang right when we get confirmation that it fits with the extended battery they take it off the website? DOH!

Please and thank you
sorry mine is GSM and have no extended battery.
You can find them on eBay in Black, White and Pink. $28 and free shipping. Just search "galaxy case-mate pop!". I ordered the Black but it hasn't arrived.
My Case Mate Pop case is arriving today as well, if you are looking to buy it for $16! check this company out shipping is dirt cheap as well from them. http://www.thecellguru.com/Phones/Samsung/Galaxy_Nexus/Cases
I got the black one, great fit, great protection, great case. Bit of a bugger to get off in a rush though !
How is it pressing the power button and the volume rocker is it easy or do you really have to press it in to get the effect?
Easy peasy to press power and / or volume buttons. I sent back a case mate tough as I couldn't activate the buttons freely enough, the case mate pop is much much better, just a bit of a pain to get off
I just got my white pop case today. I am using it with the extended battery on the verizon cdma version. The case is amazing! Great protection, doesn't add much bulk, buttons work great, fits perfect with the extended battery, adds extra grippyness. Highly recommend. I got mine on ebay as well.
I can verify that the STOCK cable for the VERIZON GNEX does NOT fit the port in the case. I got the black/grey case today from my local Verizon store for $19.99.
My old HTC cable from my EVO 3d does fit though.

jeez the Pop case winds up covering one of the mics? that's kind of a downer... wish I came here prior to purchasing the case on Amazon especially since it's supposedly arriving today.
Is there a hole for the camera microphone? Seems like the Barely There and Tough case has a hole for it, but not the Pop! case.

Any Desktop Dock / Cradle that would work with a TPU case?

Hi,
I was looking to pick up a desktop dock. I am using a Seido charger from my Treo pro days. It seems to charge very very slowly (it is plugged in via usb). I was looking for a nicer cradle/dock that would fit my E4GT with a TPU case.
Is there anything out there?
Thanks,
Rich
Here is the Samsung stand/spare battery charger. It doesn't charge the phone but comes with a spare battery and cable to plug in/charge. I have a generic TPU/Hybrid case from eBay and it fits the standard in both portrait and landscape trouble free. Quite like it.

I was just snooping around for a cradle/dock that would work with a case. The one I found seems to fit the bill. Search for eBay item 220936397990. Anyone have any hands-on with this cradle?
Might check the fine print on that ebay cradle. It clearly states that cases must be removed from most US models of the GSII in order to work.
Not to say it won't...
EDIT: Nevermind, I don't read to well. You have to remove the cushion from the cradle.
Well I just purchased two. If you want to hold off, I'll let you know how it turns out with a TPU case and a Body Glove case
Please let us know how it works with your case.
How did that go for you? Did you get it yet?
I guess we will never know...
Search my posts, I posted the exact dock I got, that works with my TPU case and posted pictures with links to the products I used. I did have to take a bit of the sides with a dremel tool, but I got 3 docks and did all 3 in about 15 min and they all work perfectly.
Hey, I just wanted to say thanks - I ordered the dock, did the mod with the dremel & it works great!
if you want a car mount (suction cup) get the nuvi 200 mount on ebay (around $4)
WITH tpu case fits perfect snug enough to hold but not damage. Very nice.
won't work without TPU case (too loose a fit)

HTC One case with dust port covers

Im looking for a slimline case for the one that includes covers for the headphone jack and charger port. It seems the bulkier cases like otter box defender come with covers but trying to find a more slimmed down case that has them.....

Get the Otterbox Commuter. It has covers for both ports, is a lot slimmer than the Defender and also keeps the shape of the One plus it still offers great protection. It also comes with a separate screen protector. I usually only get Defenders with my phones but I am loving this Commuter. It protects without taking away all of the beauty of the One.
check this out, looks good and has ports covered

I did that for my HTC ONE M7 and i kept loosing the charging port cover, and eventually lost it, it`s better to have it attached to the case.

I agree 100% but the way I carry my phone in my pocket I'm more concerned about the earphone port cover as its located at the top of the phone and I rarely if ever use earphones to begin with, I highly doubt I'd even use the charging port cover.
http://www.tridentcase.com/shop-products/htc-one/aegis-case-htc-one.aspx
this is the case I have. Covers the headphone jack and micro usb port. The power button/IR is let open too. I would consider it just like an Otterbox Commuter case.
I don't like the look of that camera opening
