I've bought quite a few cables from them. I have had excellent success dealing with them, and no problems with any of the items purchased.

I bought a couple of these USB cables from Monoprice. They work just fine. I also bought the micro HDMI adapter from them for the EVO. Works great too! Shipping is also very cheap. If you live in California they have overnight shipment for less than $5.

Great online store.....

I've bought a few things from them. No problems at all.

A) How the hell have you not heard about Monoprice before?
B) MetalHead is a moron. Their cables are awesome.
C) I never buy a single cable from anywhere else, and I have wired my entire house - long network cables, long coax cables, long HDMI cables - and have never had a single bad cable from there.

Wow... a moron? Really? I was simply commenting on the fact that gold plated connectors mean absolutely nothing as far as the quality of a cable is concerned.
Thanks for being a jerk.

I bought 4 of those from them. They work just fine and seem to be of good quality (cord is thick and strong)

Your post insinuated that the monoprice cable was a "pile of dog ****." That is absolutely wrong.

Actually, I insinuated that just because it is gold plated does not make it good quality. Made no comment on the quality of those specific cables. Sorry if there was any confusion.

My dog is quite proud of his ****. As a matter if fact, he ****s in my room whenever possible just to show me how terrific it is. Unfortunately, he isn't the goose that laid the golden turd ;-)
Seriously guys, its obvious you just have a misunderstanding of intent. No reason for a flame war over it. I can see what Metal was trying to say and I also see why the other guy misread it.
I agree that gold plated wire connectors are more marketing gimmick than anything else. The gold they use is probably about a molecule thick or they would have to charge $1000 for the cable. Even though the gold is on the surface, the signal still has to travel through regular old wire the rest of the way. Its just a way for them to spend 5 cents and charge you $5 for it.

I brought a Micro HDMI cable from them. Came to be a bad one. The connection was really loose and had to be held at an angle for my phone and tv would see it. Emailed them and they offered to replace it. Just haven't have the time to do it yet

Most monoprice stuff is very good. I have three of these cables and they work very well.

Bought a usb cigratte lighter charger and 4 micro usb cables from them under $10. Great site

thanks for the replies yea i just recently found it when doing a little googling for phone accessories.
normally i buy most stuff from newegg or google shopping
fyi
Depending on who you ask, some say that gold doesn't oxidize the way other metals do so you will get lower resistance and maintain max speeds, and it's supposed to last longer because gold doesn't tarnish. I realize that the latency on those 6 foot babys are not going to show any difference, but the connection is important to me. Being in the tech field for years, my own experiences tell me that I will get longer life from these. Thanks to all that spoke up about the experiences with the site.

What? Have you ever bought anything from them?
I've bought all my cables from Monoprice for years and the cables and prices are great. All my cables are from Monoprice and they are no different than the $100+ Monsters, or whatever other crap Best Buy or whoever, try and sell you.
P.S. Since you've just heard of Monoprice, this is another good site for random stuff including cables
http://www.meritline.com/

Monoprice had excellent stuff. I bought 4 of those cables and a few hdmi cables, all top notch.

Believe it or not there is a difference between $1 cables and $100 cables. I do agree that monster is a ripoff but there are benefits to investing more than just a couple dollars into your cables. Obviously $100 is excessive for almost any basic cable, but buying a $45 HDMI cable versus a $1 is not unreasonable. I work in the A/V and home automation industry and I can tell you first hand that there are noticeable performance gains from using higher end cables, especially HDMI. Aside from that, cables with better build quality just last longer and give you less problems. I'm not saying monoprice cables are bad, because I just don't know. I've never used them. My original comment was only directed at the "gold plated" comment in the OP. I was high as hell when I posted that and seriously the only thing I even remembered about the OP after reading it was that comment. My comment is a common saying in my industry and was the first thing that popped into my head. What it means is if a cable is made with sub par materials, overly thin conductors and bad build quality, gold plated connectors won't do a damn bit of good. It is still a crappy cable. Anyways, I'm deleting that comment because this is the end of it.

Official Xoom Cases, Docks, & Stands

So there are a few options available from Motorola. I've included the pictures here, but check out their site for the descriptions. No prices are available yet. I kinda like the portfolio case.

I would love to see a dock where the angle can be adjusted dramatically.

Any body have the detail pictures??

The standard dock is a waste of money IMHO. There is no micro usb connection to the computer so you have to unplug the power cord if you want to charge while uploading files.
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App

Don't waste your time and money on the Standard Dock and Port Case
What garbage. The portfolio case will offer none to little protection, plus it will scratch up the unit with use. The dock is silly, no connections to the computer and places the unit at a very inconvenient angle. I'm not a happy camper. I'm going to check into the return of them.

Yeah I noticed that and decided not to buy. We need a third party dock that allows adjusting the viewing angle and a portfolio case that is not cheap and will allow access to the available ports and power button.

That Portfolio case scratched up my xoom! Grrrrr!!! I am warning everyone I know about that damn case!!

I just bought the black silicone gel case from the verizon store. They showed me the portfolio case, but it just looked soooo awkward and poorly made. The silicone case barely adds any thickness at all and looks quite nice. Since the glass on the front is good, I think i'm good to go with just this case. Also, it says on the box that it is compatible with the docks in case anyone was wondering. $29.99 was a little high in. Y opinion, but at this point it is the only viable case and I'm getting paranoid about my Xoom getting damaged.

Yeah, that one was a little perplexing. Theres a damn micro usb on the dock itself, but none to output to a pc... wtf
Best I can figure, they're using the microusb tip to add stability to the device when in the dock and that there probably isnt anything on the backside of the tip. Maybe somebody will crack one of these things open to see what the deal is...
All in all, I saw it as a slightly more expensive way to get another wall charger.

Does the OCNNSB25 coupon code not applicable to the Xoom accessories? I tried purchasing the the silicone case and hd dock, but the coupon code wouldn't go through. Any suggestions?

That is indeed disappointing. I was expecting at least a usb connection - that way there'd be some hope of debugging from a docked device.

Really. See how far $50 goes now. I only paid $30 for my X's dock which has usb (for charging, but not limited to) and hdmi. I thought that was too high for what it is really.

The cheaper dock, while handy, is not good for debugging at all. I'll use wireless adb for a while, but it shouldn't be this hard.

Anyone ordered this dock?

Looks pretty good and has room to charge another battery while your phone is docked and charging.

Hm.. nice find. That is tempting. I wish it was a bit cheaper.
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 :/

I ordered one as well, and your complaint is the same as mine...
The phone is almost vertical when docked.
I will not be using it.
In fact if anyone wants it, I'd sell it for 20 bucks shipped (US only).

FWIW Newegg has them for $28, but they are out of stock right now....

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 know they aren't optimal, but I figured if it works it would be a good hold over until good ones come out for the G3 specific.

That one is on Amazon, Prime, and has 2 different models. Anyone seen a close enough photo to know which one we'd need? Port A or Port B?

No problems after all. Working OK with my F400K

So now its working? Awesome! Buying 2 right now.

Mine works as well, I have this one: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00IQ2GUFI/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o01_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1
BUT it only works if i have the receiver stuck on the back of the phone in between it and the phone case. If I have it on top of the battery the signal doesn't make it through.. perhaps because of the curved nature of the phone and the NFC receiver on the inside of the back cover.

I was always under the impression that NFC and wireless charging interfered with each other unless it was one integrated unit. That's probably why yours only works that way.

Well I got mine and tried it out, and while it does work, kind of, I'm sending them back. The cable ribbon is so thin it feels like it is going to rip, it would also need you to bend it at a bad angle to get it inside a case or inside the back. I can't get a GOOD charging connection with my TYLT VU chargers, so it is going back.

The cable ribbon is probably thin because you need to bend it at weird/sharp angles and it has to fit in the cracks of the back or case. As long as you're not constantly pulling on it, there's really no risk of tearing. Connections are fine with my $20 chargers, I can drop it on pretty much anywhere in the vicinity of the receiver and it'll charge.
Charge rate depends on which receiver you go with. Most, including the ones posted here, are 500mA which is kind of slow. I should be getting an 800mA one soon so hopefully that'll pick up the pace. IMO, these are still better than switching to PMA.

Its not so much the thin that bothers me, it is how flimsy it is. I mean it could have some reinforcement of some kind you'd think. And it leaves the pad really low on the phone, probably part of the reason it doesn't connect well even with a QI pad a good as the TYLT VU. Just removing the thing to root my device was scary, I thought the USB plug was going to tear off and stay in.
I just bought 2 battery covers with integrated Qi/NFC for $23 each on ebay (my wife got a G3 also) so that should fix the issues for me. Not sure what the VU charges at, but with my Nexus 5 it was always great, for a heavy user like me, I was satisfied (Qi dock in my car too).

What kind of qi car dock do you have? I love the wireless charging and have seen a few posts you put on XDA. I ordered that back plate from eBay, hopefully it works OK and I had ordered the sticker from China but it seems like a pain in the ass ripping off the old one.

Its not so much the thin that bothers me, it is how flimsy it is. I mean it could have some reinforcement of some kind you'd think.

Do you have a link to the ones you bought? Also could you post some pictures when you receive and install them?
