Found some docks on Amazon for the Galaxy Note and just wondering if anyone else has seen these or if people think they'll work with the Nexus.
This one looks like it charges in portrait and can also hold the phone in landscape, and has a spare battery charger but probably won't work on the Nexus. It's hard to tell if the Nexus would fit this.
This one looks basic enough where the Nexus should fit even with a case.
Ended up buying this one and it came in today. Haven't played with it much but it will work. There is enough spacing for the Nexus even with a case (diztronic). However the plug is a little short and will only fully connect with the case off. Since the platform is flat there isn't the best stability being the Nexus bottom is rounded. I'm gonna try to put a little curve to the platform so I can keep the case on and hopefully give it better stability.
I think its just disgusting that the Galaxy Nexus has been out for almost 4 months now, and the Galaxy Note, which has been out for about a month or two, already has an official Samsung dock as well as multiple third party docks as well. OMFG >.>
EDIT: and the most appalling part is that the Galaxy Nexus literately has pins SPECIFICALLY for a dock, yet the Note still has a dock! LMFAO

Actually, the galaxy note came out in October last year. The nexus was December I think?
So it's had a 2 month head start.

Just wanted to share this dock i found on ebay. Looks way better than the samsung one as it has a simpler design. Looks like an iphone dock.

If you look at the picture closely you can see that's an international galaxy s2 in the dock our phones have different dimensions than that of the other versions of the galaxy so that dock may not fit your phone at all. A good trick for looking for the proper accessories for our phones, since there are so many versions of it, is including "t989" in any search on eBay or Amazon you do.

Well the dock is made to fit our phones, so of course it will fit the international version as well. I saw a couple of reviews on youtube and the s2 was able to mount with a case. Thats good enough space to fit the extra thickness of our phones. I ordered 2, I will give feedback once I receive them.

Please do. I'm intersted & would like one at the house
I have had this dock (actually 3 of them now) for a few months. Used it with my AT&T Samsung Infuse then with my AT&T GS2 and now with my T-Mo T989.
Fits and works perfectly with the T989 even with the Diztronics case on it. Well worth the price.

You shot the OP down without even reading the ebay description. T989 is one of the compatible devices.

Correct, and it will work with just about any brand "bar type" phone with the jack centered on the bottom. You either use or don't use the rubber insert that comes with it to adjust to size or with or without case. For $12 it's a great buy. If you want it faster there are some US sellers selling it for around $20.
This looks great !! Quick question though. Do you have an hdmi adapter for yours ? I'm looking to basically be able to charge/hdmi out by dropping it in a cradle lol
1 more question. Does the phone feel sturdy enough in it? I'd like to get 1 to modify into a car mount too
Thanks !

I'm looking for something like this
mophie (dot) com/mophie-juice-pack-air-iPhone-4-battery-case-p/1145_jpa-ip4-blk.htm
but for the GN... I've searched around a bit but couldn't find anything. Or should I just wait a bit longer.
I would love to find something like this.
No, there isn't something like that yet. The galaxy nexus is still new, it took a couple of months for someone like Mophie to make something like that for the iPhone. I'm not saying it won't happen but it might take a while.
That would make your Gnex look like an iphone!
Seidio makes cases for the extended battery.

I don't care if it looks like an iPhone, just as long as I can make it about... 11 hours with moderate to heavy use I'm happy!
You might want to check this out. I know this is a iphone case but the Solmate did annouce in FAQ that they are going to start a Galaxy Nexus case. I am bugging the hell out of them to start the Galaxy Nexus case. These cases are solar, inductive, and battery. I also ask them to make sure it will work the extended battery.
would love this

That looks great and should work better with the Galaxy Nexus as there would be no need for that huge iPhone connector, they can just use the dock pins on the side.

I didn't think about charging the Gnex through the doc pins. I use heavy use so making some like and I think is totally awesome.

Wow that is sweet...
The iphone market for this would be so much larger than that of the Nexus. So realistically I don't see this happening. However, I would be a buyer.
Has anyone tried this car dock from Griffin?
http://store.griffintechnology.com/windowseat-3-handsfree-car-mount-for-iphone
Yes, I know it says for iPhone, but it is compatible with the Galaxy S II
I bought one of these for my wife's iphone. I couldn't seem to extend it far enough for my GNex to fit - height wise I mean. I must admit that I didn't try very hard though, as I feared it might break.

That will block the camera also... Not a big deal but sometimes I like to use iOnRoad or Wikitude Drive
Curious if anyone has one or knows of a manufacturer that is selling them. I would like to start running and biking with a bit more comfort as I find the screen to large to keep in my pocket when doing these activities.
Thanks!
You might look into the Tune Belt AB85. There's a video on YouTube where the guys shows how it holds a Galaxy Note so surely the S3 would fit. The AB86 is designed for the Galaxy Nexus so you might look into that too. I own a Tune Belt that works with my Galaxy S2 and I found it to be a good product.

Funny you mentioned Tunebelt, I just received a message from one of their customer reps that the Galaxy Nexus model should fit the S3 perfectly.
Can be purchased directly or through Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Tune-Belt-Arm...2572943&sr=8-1&keywords=Tunebelt+galaxy+nexus
Similarly I managed to make my Droid X Tunebelt accommodate the S3 (after some minor alterations )

Has anyone tried the AB86 model? I have a smaller TuneBelt that I used with my HTC Desire, and there is no way that you can get headphones in with the S3 going in to the holder top-first (as I'd want to use it), as the neoprene covers exactly where the headphones are. There are only gaps in the corners and middle. It would work going in bottom-first, as then the headphone access would be at the open end.
Does the AB86 model improve this to allow headphone access from either end with the S3?
I've been happy with the build quality of the TuneBelt. Another cheaper but similar looking alternative that I've seen is from iGadgitz http://www.igadgitz.com/products/fi...for-samsung-galaxy-s3-iii-i.html#.UEi0oo1lQs4
That's specifically for the S3, so should definitely have the correct headphone access, as well as labelling where buttons are. Has anybody got any feedback on this?
I wasn't too happy with how the TuneBelt fit, so I returned it and picked up a Belkin EaseFit Plus. It's a much better fit for both my arm and the phone. My only complaint is that, despite it's claims, it is most decidedly not sweat-proof. Maybe it is from the front, but not so at all from the back. The TuneBelt seemed to do a somewhat better job at keeping the phone dry from sweat, probably because the fabric is heavier/thicker.
I had bought this stand way back in the Viewsonic G tablet days and I've used it with the Samsung Galaxy Tab, Acer A700, Nexus 7, previous Note 10.1, the new Nexus 7 and now the new Note 10.1. It useful for those that like to cook and use their tablet as a cookbook or entertainment in the kitchen. Or just somewhere to stand the tablet during or after using it. It has various adjustments, its thick plastic so it can take a beating, you can fold it up and it doesn't cost that much. And it will continue to outlive this tablet and others in the future, one stand for all eternity.

man, i bought that same stand for the same tablet! that was my second or third android tablet. sylvania, then either the g tablet or the archos 101 was next. oooh, the memories:crying:
that was a great tablet with the worst screen i've ever had.
Oh that screen was awful but the tablet had so much potential at the time. It did start my love of tablets and tweaking them!
I bought this stand from eBay but a white one. Best stand out there and cheap price. The only thing left is finding a case for it with no cover.
