if you have a look on amazon they are selling for £30 (including postage)... a few more dollars (9) than the offer from the U.S but still a good deal if that's what you want?

Arrived on time. Works great. On cm9 (turls v9) it auto loads car mode. Using carhome ultra from the market. Audio works great out of the included USB audio adapter. Also fits my phone with a mesh case which is awesome.

Got mine from Amazon about a month ago for about $35 shipped overnight.
LOVE.IT.
I run Car Home Ultra and Mort Player for music. Sweet.
Especially nice if you use high-quality MP3s and have a decent head unit. Couple of weeks of non-repeating tunes to carry with me.
Jamming along on the highway and the music softly ramps down to mute when a call comes in ... then unmutes when they hang up.
Sound through the speakers is amazing (use GOOD cables.)
Oh, and get a nice 2.1A USB socket (I like Satechi.)
I have just received my car dock today after ordering it from amazon (uk).
The dock itself is easy to assemble and you have the option of either attaching it to the windscreen or there is an enclosed disc which you can stick on your dashboard and then attach the car dock assembly.
There are two usb cables suppiled (one LONG and the other short) and the long one has an audio adapter joined onto it at the base. There is also a usb charger included.
My phone has a mesh cover and, leaving out an included spacer, I am able to fit the phone into the dock without having to take the cover off.
I have had a quick try out whilst driving and it is an enjoyable experience and that is with using the motorola 'car' app.
This is the first time I have had a car dock and I would recomend this item.
Just a heads up to all you new car dock owners: sure, you could use the window mount and that plastic mount for the dashboard.
But, if you wanted to, you could also use this following product that lets you use the car dock in your vehicle's air vents:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B0015A6YN6/ref=cm_sw_r_an_am_ap_am_us?ie=UTF8
If you use this adaptor for the air vents, it'll also help in keeping your phone cool while it's on the dock, especially on those hot days where having it on the windshield mount exposes it to the sun's heat even more so.
I've been using this for months now and it works very well and fits the car dock as if it were made for it.
Enjoy!
Love this dock, but it overheats in summer. Also it loses suction occasionally... might break the screen on my transmission stick.

I'm just responding to your overheating/suction issues by saying "you can solve both of those issues by doing this:...".
but if you don't want to put your phone near the vents, that's fine, too.
Just read the post about the vent clip. Looks sweet. Got out for $2.59 shipped on Ebay.

This mount looks to be made specifically for the EVO and also has 3 separate places to hold the phone in snuggly. On sale today for 5 dollars and free shipping (it's always free shipping though)

I have this dock (got mine off eBay). I don't have a cover and it fits nice and snug. It's actually an iPhone 4 / EVO mount, so don't be surprised if the box is labeled as such.
It does not have built in USB charging (no biggie, buy a cable) and will not be recognized by the phone as a "car dock". For me this was a non-issue, I just devoted one of my home screens to car apps (Google Maps, Trapster, etc.)

wow! for $5 I'll give it a try! I've been wanting one of these for a while but wasn't going to spend the money on sprint's car dock!
Just ordered one. thanks for the link!! i've been looking for a car mount and this deal is greatness. thank you!
just ordered mine too! this baby will go right where my gps was. gotta love google nav!
This probably won't work with the otterbox commuter case right?
Good question. Using the commuter case too.
just looking at the case I highly doubt it. That is one thing I've never been a fan of cases for...but for 5 dollars and free shipping how could you go wrong!
Just ordered mine.
Just received my order confirmation today. Looks like they are shipping it from Singapore and state that it might take 2-3 weeks.
I dont have this mount but just looking at the design...this will scratch your phone for sure..just my .02
Ill give one a shot before I order the one from Sprint off eBay its going for around $40 -$45.

I agree with you. plus i'm rockin' the OB Defender. I figure for $5, it'll give me a working platform and i can fabricate something better(read: JBWeld)
This mount is garbage you have to be EXTREMELY CAREFUL when taking the phone out of the Mount the two clips are very fragile and will break VERY easily.
also adjusting the car dock takes a little bit to get it right where you want it, also make sure to clean the suction cup with alcohol prior to use to get all the gunk off of it so it doesn't fall off the windshield when it warms up.
My first one broke so i called and complained they sent another one so i gave it away and bought the HTC Car dock, and haven't had one problem with it yet.

You called Singapore from California over a $5 part?
I ordered the same one, but it has a vent mount instead of a suction cup. The mount holds the phone perfectly. It does not scratch or marr the phone at all. Only bummer with the vent mount is that it isnt adjustable. Its just straight out. Im working on modifying it so I can tilt the phone towards me while its mounted.
Here is a picture and link to it on ebay. Super cheap! Took a few weeks to arrive though.

My car dock has the same "clip" portion, but a different suction base--but generally I'm extremely pleased with it. It was $5 shipped as well, took about 3 weeks to arrive, and has held up for the last five months or so perfectly.
I actually wrote an app for the market to get "dock" functionality out of car docks that don't actually cause a phone to "dock"; if you're interested it's called "Car Kit" in the market.
With the cheap dock and the app, my phone automatically does everything I want in the car just like the hella expensive official docks. No way I'm spending $50 on what less than $10 can do just as well.

i mean come on you wait almost a month to get it then it breaks days later that's BS
just got mine in the mail today! only thing that stands out right away is that you have to be careful putting in and taking out your evo. other than that, this thing is perfect for what I need and at $5 you can't go wrong!
I'm going to try it out tomorrow but with all the snow and ice moving through the midwest tonight I'll have my eyes glued to the road!
It's good to see these things are actually shipping. i'm STILL waiting on mine. I ordered parts for my ecig from Cyprus and even it beat the car dock here. wth?!
Looks pretty good and has room to charge another battery while your phone is docked and charging.

I'll probably pick one up anyways to use at work. Looks like it won't fit a tbolt with a case.

Yeah looks like the TB will have to be naked to fit in this dock. Please post your review as soon as you get it.
If you wait a bit, I'm certain you'll be able to find it cheaper on ebay. You should start seeing other chineese companies selling them for much less, but shipped from China (slower to get here though).
I have the Incredible dock that is similar, and hacked it up to hold the phone with a case on it (doesn't look pretty, but it DOES work).
yep i bought one from amazon...listed that its for the merge but it fits....its tight but it fits...also it has to be naked..which sucks, but the for the price its a good deal

I had that problem on my charger for the DInc, and it ended up the actual USB plug housing had split apart, and the plug was sliding back into the housing. I ended up fixing it (mine came from china, so no recourse there), and it still works fine. Just curious if that was the problem with your unit or not.
Also looks like you can get it cheaper on ebay now. As with anything from China, you take a gamble on quality... I might pick one up and see if it works with my pop case, although the USB header might be a tad too short to reach and some plastic will definitely have to be shaved off to get it to fit the back.
Anyone find a charger without the big extra battery back?

Yes, it has to be naked in order to fit into the dock.
I have 23 of these in stock... tested one and it works great.
Any questions let me know.
I ordered one too - figured not too big of a risk for that $$ and my TB will be staying naked anyway. $25 shipped on Ebay vs $60(!) for the official one.
Edit:
Funny, as soon as I posted this, the dock arrived - FAST shipping! The dock is not bad, works fine. The only complaint I have is that the phone is held almost completely vertical, no angle at all really. So that makes it a little awkward for watching video but not too bad. Charges fine, USB works fine, insertion and removal is easy. As stated before, you cannot use a case with this dock, it is a snug fit. Slot on the back for charging a second battery.
Time will tell with the durability, but it serves my needs well - easy place to plug in and charge at my office desk. Recommended especially considering the price. If the HTC dock has HDMI (I doubt it) then maybe it will be worth $60. In the meantime this is shipping and shipping fast!
I'd buy one of these if the extended battery would fit on the dock :/

The phone is almost vertical when docked.

Seems sorta pricey- i got my sgt one for 39 before a 20% discount. order directly from sammy....
Fwiw the arm/suction aparatus on my sgt dock is rigid and didnt rotate. this really limits mounting options. . this oem gnote one looks like the same (just different tray).

I got the answer that they do not have any plans releasing a holder for Galaxy Note, due to the fact that it has not yet been released.

If anyone wants to email them to create a buzz/demand for the holder, please feel free to do so...

I have been told by one supplier on eBay that the official dock is not compatible with the Note while encased in a gel type skin. It's the same story with the desk dock too. That's put a bit of a dampener on them for me, as they were both on my xmas list. However, weighing up pros and cons I'd rather keep the case on the phone than have the convenience of the official dock. A universal dock and a loose lead will have to do for me, which is what I'm using at the moment.

Official G Note car dock should have the micro usb plug on the dock itself so it's possible to just attach the phone to the dock and you get also the power supply without connecting manually the power supply cable . Finally they made it...

Car Dock
I've been using a bracketron vent mount with my galaxy S2 when I got my Note the mount was able to hold it horizontally but not vertically little too much weight up high. When I got the flip case cover I thought this would never work but to my surprise when put the flip top all the way over I can clip the case to the bottom of the mount and holds perfectly in the vertical position. The phone is still supported by the 2 feet at the bottom. The small clip that I used was from Home Depot think it was $.99. Pretty good temporary solution for me.

Not true. I ordered on Friday and the date was and still is 6/6.
I can confirm they have stock, mine has been dispatched and I can track it with the courier.
Amazing. I can't believe it's really available.
Only Samsung would start to release accessories, promised at launch, six months into the phone's life. The same time that many are considering jumping ship. They'd have had my money closer to launch but that window has closed.
For those who are sticking with the GN I hope the dock will prove worth the wait!

I'll be ordering this + some sandpaper for my LTE Nexus
It will fit
So the POGO pins transmit audio as well as power? Just looking at the base of the thing and see what looks like USB and audio in, and there doesn't seem to be room to plug an audio cable to the phone with the lip of the dock impeding it. Definitely interested in this, shall await reviews. Looks like it'll be a tight fit, so will have to remove my TPU case, which isn't a big deal, but I'm afraid of dislodging my screen protector with constantly taking case off and on.

The LTE & GSM versions? Yes, the LTE is slighlty thicker. Given that the car dock is already a very tight fit for the thinner model, it's going to need to shave off a few micrometers to make it fit.

Now they changed it to "Stock Usually Ships In 4 Days"
It looks more promising. The only problem is the price. It is so expensive.
Just Ordered mine w8 for it to come :-D
So I placed a preorder for this on May 10th and haven't received any emails or updates from Expansys saying that the product is now shipping.
Should I order another dock from the link in this thread and cancel/return whichever dock comes second? Has anyone else had this same situation?

So the POGO pins transmit audio as well as power? Just looking at the base of the thing and see what looks like USB and audio in, and there doesn't seem to be room to plug an audio cable to the phone with the lip of the dock impeding it. Definitely interested in this, shall await reviews. Looks like it'll be a tight fit, so will have to remove my TPU case, which isn't a big deal, but I'm afraid of dislodging my screen protector with constantly taking case off and on.

So yeah, how does audio work?
I remember reading in the other thread the pins DO NOT transfer audio. It would make no sense how if it did. Magic?
Why is there a aux port next to the usb slot?
(maybe i'm just retarded?)
from what i know, the dock uses bluetooth to send audio.
So u put ur phone in the dock, the dock turns on bluetooth, then the audio is transmitted from the aux port to your cars aux in port.
Hi,
This arrived from Hong Kong today. Took about 2 weeks from Hong Kong to Singapore. A short show and tell.
I've been looking for a dock that I can use with the case on and this answers it. I'm using it with my Nilkin hard cover case.

Simple packaging. Sent via Air from HK.
This is what is inside the package. Note that the extra plastic thing is originally attached to the dock as a buffer to ensure that phones without cases are held firmly. If you are using the dock with a case, you remove that. It is quite easy to remove. Just pull it forwards towards you (not upwards). Comes off easily.
My One X with its Nilkin case being held in the dock.
It has quite a huge bump at the back. This is where the cable is connected. USB cable is provided.
The One X w/ Case plugged into the Dock which in turn is plugged into a MHL to a Dell U3011 monitor.

==========================================
Overall this product feels solid and does its job. Hope this little post helps.
Thanks for the review. Just ordered. Yes it's a bit of plastic that stands the phone up but I do like the dock mode and this will be ideal. Just have to configure tasker now...
they have one with hdmi also. awesome for the price

It really is a great dock, I just got mine today from a UK seller for £10, 2 days late mind you because I forgot to change the address at checkout... Phone fits perfectly and it's actually cheaper than some of the far worse quality docks I've seen around. Usually I worry about scratching the body with the connector but the phone finds its way beautifully.
Just curious, does it activate desk dock mode on its own?
It doesn't activate dock mode. I'm guessing the things that will activate dock mode are those that connect via the pogo pins.
How do you get the dock mode up? is there an app in play store?
What app is that you are using for a clock mate?

You can use an app from the market called AnyCut to create a shortcut for Dock mode.

There is also an app called dock simulator which works fine

Can you use this dock to connect to a tv?

I have a HC C704 case, and as lovely as it is it's too big for this cradle with the buffer on and is loose with the buffer off, so if you're buying this cradle and case be aware you'll have to have a loose wonky phone or prop it up with a bit of blutak or something.

That's my home screen. The clock is a widget from Minimalistic Text.
The launcher I am using is Nova Launcher.
Icons are from AndroidPhone7

Yes.
There are 2 versions of this dock. One with built in HDMI and one without.
I didn't buy the HDMI version because I had my own MHL.
So the HDMI version (or mine with an attached MHL) can connect to your TV/Monitor/etc via HDMI.
