Has anyone seen a dock that will accomodate a normal case?
I have the case-mate POP case, and cannot seem to find a dock that will fit it.
I know the Seidio case will fit in their "innodock Jr." but the dock is pretty tiny and doesn't stack up to the standard Innodock (which isn't available for the S3 that I could see).
This is the case I'm refering to:
http://www.case-mate.com/Samsung-Ga...te-Samsung-Galaxy-S3-Pop-with-Stand-Cases.asp
The oem Samsung dock works perfectly with my speck candy shell... It seems made for cases because the usb is on a spring and pushes down when you dock it.

Here are some photos with the OEM dock and a seidio case.

Thanks for the Pics.. based on that it appears that it will in fact fit.. I wonder if a local Sprint store might have one in stock I verify with... I hate dealing with returns.

Actually I was referring to seeing the dock in the store
Thanks for sharing the pictures. Is that the Seido Surface in royal blue? It looks like a darker color than the pictures on their site. Also did you just put a android sticker on it as well?

Here is a aluminum bumper in the dock.

Oh, nice! How do you like that aluminum bumper? I was thinking about going with one of those and a leather or CF battery cover.
How did you get the front to get that carbon fiber look?

Well, according to users feedback in this thread, Both the Case Mate Barely There and the Incipio Feather don't fit quite good on the GSM GNex with standard battery. And as much as I hate starting yet another thread about "whats the best case?", can anyone confirm a good fit of any slim case on the phone??
Rearth ringke slim case
There is a thread on here with pictures but I can't copy the link because I am on my phone
Hmm guess I can!

Thanks. The matte one looks good. I'm ordering one tonight
I have the matte black ringke slim and it fits my gsm nexus perfectly. Great case.
You can find some decent TPU's on ebay for pretty cheap. I went w/ the carbon fiber full body kit by Ghost armor w/great results

Isn't that just a sticker to change the look. I don't see how that brings any additional protection for your device.
Personally I think it takes away from the looks of the device without providing anything in return but to each his own I suppose.
check out this case i got on amazon >>>
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0062V9UWU/ref=oh_o01_s00_i00_details
fits the gsm gnex very nicely. dont mind the low rated reviews, they came from ppl with the LTE gnex and therefore did not fit properly. I highly recommend this case. its relatively thin, fits snug, and has a great feel. gl.
i got the Rock Barely Hard case of Ebay. It fits nicely, but it took a while for it to get her because it was coming from china. (about 2 weeks??)
The reaerth slim is great. Few months in with many drops. Quite nice protection with minimal added thickness

You won't get scratches on the device.
Has anyone been able to find a nice stand that they use while charging the phone in portrait mode? I currently am using the UAG case, so the normal docks won't work. Thx in advance.

I am using the basic black dock labeled "EZO" with the two piece Incipio Silicrylic case. Fits fine. Dock came with a plastic sizing adapter.

Thanks for the replies. I think I am going to have to become less frugal and convince myself to spend more than I had originally hoped. Nice stands!
these work
I have this one and it works well http://www.ebay.com/sch/m.html?_nkw=dock&_sacat=0&_odkw=&_ipg=25&_osacat=0&_armrs=1&_ssn=supermom28
Also my wife has this one and my s3 also fits in it with a slim case that snaps on, but it has some room and would fit a tpu case as well http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...734459?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item19cbf0bdbb
yeah i use a dock as well
I wonder if it will fit my Incipio Faxion.
I found a nice little stand with a sticky front at the container store that works perfectly. And ya, cases force you to rethink stand choices.

I've been using this Thought Out ped3 universal steel stand ($22) for a couple months and I still love it. I had to return the first one I bought, though, because it was warped and wouldn't sit level.
EDIT: Wait, you looking for a DOCK or a STAND, because there's a difference. Your thread title says "stand"...

I ordered 2 of these under a different brand name and got 2 for the price of this one. Nice and portable.

I bought this too. For 4 bucks I think it solves my lack of desk stand quite well.
The original Samsung dock takes a phone in a case. The bottom part around the microUSB plug is spring loaded, pretty clever.
I bent a gift card to use as a stand when I go to sleep since the phone is in landscape (it won't support portrait) and I have a mesh business card holder at Office Depot on my main desk at home for portrait/landscape.
I have a custom skin on the back of my phone and am looking for a case that has a completely clear back but perhaps tpu sides or bumper to have some grip. Anyone have ideas? I can't find any

Even yesterday i did a massive search on ebay for S3 cases. Went over 50 pages with 200 hits each. I can't tell you specifically where but i can tell you there're definitly cases like the ones you want there. Seen plenty of clear ones hard and soft sillicone, maybe there's one you'd like.
Hmm...I was hoping for a clear solid back to protect it as well. Most of them have a frosted back ;___;
i hate to have a thicker device, but the bumper has already protected my device 3 times from getting serously damaged.

Look at Tech21, they have a bumper/clear back that sounds like what you are looking for.
for a quickie five below stores have S3 cases including a tpu case with a rigid mostly transparent back which would "show off" custom backs quite nicely. REALLY good fit and quality for $5 review coming soon.

If your looking for a good quality bumper, I'll sell you my Draco bumper for $40+Shipping or you can offer. I have the Flare Red with the original box and all the original parts. I used it for less than a week. No scratches or dents. In perfect condition.

Didn't know bout that. Switching it to $40+Shipping
I'll pass on the alumnium since I hear aluminum reduces radio strength. Thanks though!
So I decided that I got tired of Samsung's infamous glossy polycarbonate fingerprint-magnet casing and decided to do something about it. I think you'll find the results below are quite stunning if I do say so myself.

That case looks pretty much identical to the Poetic case I got from Amazon - http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B008YZ8VL8. I get on very well with it as it is not too bulky.
Have added two pics for you guys of the front and my case and carbon fiber stylus as well.

Hey mate, the skin looks awesome and I'm thinking of getting one. Question, what weather widget are you running?
I've had the skinomi brushed steel skin on my note for about two months now. After about 5 weeks, the thinner strips along the front bezel and sides started to slip and the adhesive seemed to be breaking down. I have since removed them and now only have the pack pieces on. I did contact skinomi via amazon and I believe they are going to offer a replacement. Just a heads up. I'll be curious to see how yours wears on...
Anybody purchased a plain ole thin, lightweight tpu case for their Note? Recommendations? I see one for sale on ebay, but it's only shipping from China right now.
I plan on using my Note in a Ram Mount in my car, so I don't want a flip cover, or anything too heavy. It needs to be grippy/sticky so it will stay put in the Ram mount too.
Update: I found this one on ebay today and bought it. Will let you know how it is.

Nice, I just ordered this too. I have a Fosmon TPU case for my Nexus 7 and it's excellent.
Awesome, thanks for the info, Colchiro and 30Seconds. I was not familiar with the manufacturer.

For us Canadians, Amazon Canada has the same case linked by jkwjkw, but with free shipping instead of the $11 shipping with eBay (for me at least, in Ontario). Shipped and sold by theWireless USA, who I've bought from before several times and had no troubles.
(Sorry, can't post links yet. Just search on Amazon Canada "Fosmon Galaxy Note 10.1 2014 case" and you'll see it, sold by theWireless USA).
Seriously, love me some TPU cases. Especially for a tablet like the note, where I have to lay it flat on a table to write on, I have to tape the camera lens so it doesn't get scratched. I have a folio cover case as well, but I find it lifts the tablet too far off the table if I try to lay it flat. Looks like this TPU case is the answer.
Got my case today, and love it. Perfect fit, all of the holes line up, case is snug, and it's lightweight. Recommended!
