One of the guys in the Zenis dock thread (international GS3 accessories forum) shared a link to this dock and I thought I'd post it here. I already have the Zenis dock and I like it well enough, but the addition of an aux port sounds great to me. That brand showing on the front is an eyesore, but at only $11.90, I can't resist.

using this disk the data transfer doesn't work. Is that possible?
Sorry guys. I've been meaning to update this for a while now.
Long story short... If I had it to do over again, I probably wouldn't buy this dock. Not for the GS3 at least. Maybe for a Galaxy Note.
It is very obviously a generic "one size fits all" desktop dock and while the dock does register as such (can launch clock, alarm, car dock app, etc) it's simply awkward to use. The phone sits on the very long micro USB pin and wobbles. Probably isn't good for the connector. Its as if a bumper should be used, but it didn't come with one.
The last picture (below) shows the phone with a case on and it's still loose enough to tilt though the picture makes it look way worse than it is. Lastly, pulling it off of the dock is not a one handed affair. I' not sure why that is, but... that's just how it is.
Cheap yes. A keeper no (though I am using it until I find a better one that has aux out). If you don't need aux out, the Zenis dock I linked to in the OP is not bad at all. I use it at work. It does not activate the dock function though.
Pictures below:
any time a seller posts a dock as an accesory for a phone, and the phone is photoshopped onto the dock, you should know to stay away.
(look at the pics.. the phone IS photoshopped on it.)

I bought this dock for galaxy S2 and I'm very happy with it.
The advantage is you can use with galaxy S2 cover.
You can put it horizontally and vertically (horizontally no connection)
it is not cheap

Thanks a lot for posting this! Finally a dock that I can use my phone horizontally with! Been searching all over high and low for a dock that lets me use my phone horizontally so I can dock it on the text, use a keyboard and then use Splashtop to control my computer at home. I'll be able to do some serious tasking now! Holding my phone is such a downer when I can control it with a mouse and keyboard. Might as well be a tablet now
One question guys...do you think it can charge while in horizontal mode?
From what i get in the pictures, the charging is only in vertical mode. Anyone knows more info on that?
thanx!
Hey this looks awesome! does it work with the extended battery kit from samsung?

Just search for "Sinjimoru Sync Stand for Samsung Galaxy" They're on Amazon and Ebay.

thank you friend
Do you reckon it'll work with an extended 3500mAh battery? It builds about 7-8mm extra on the back.
I did some searching and found a desktop dock that is said to work with the Verizon version of the Galaxy Nexus but I haven't seen any comment on it. If any one has gotten one of these or if this site is any good, I may want to get one, but its $65 so I don't want to just order it with out some feedback.

Well, if you bought one and reviewed it, then we'd all have a review to go by
We may even hit the Thanks button for you
This is the official Samsung/Google landscape desktop dock that uses the pogo pins on the side to charge.
It's been repeatedly delayed, so to the best of my knowledge no-one's bought one yet.
If you were to look on the website you would see that it ships on the 9th of February so since it isnt the 9th yet I dont think it anybody would have it yet for review. But once a date is confirmed for shipment (since it keeps on moving around and getting postponed) we will be seeing reviews pop up.
My phone was just ordered on Amazonwireless Sunday night so I don't even have it yet, also since it sounds like no one has this yet, how reliable is this site, has anyone gotten anything from them before?
Also ship dates and available dates are in most cases 2 different things.
Note that the picture is of the landscape dock that uses the pogo pins, but the textual description and model number refer to the "Multimedia Desktop Dock" with an HDMI port on the side, which is a completely different dock that doesn't use the pogo pins. It's anybody's guess which one you'll get if you order.
Hi all,
I'm new to the forum today, and have just reached 10 posts so now hopefully can post images.
I have read a few threads where people were trying to find a decent car dock for the GS3 with cases on, so thought I would write this brief guide on how I overcame the issue using my old iPhone 3GS adjustable Brodit dock, and modified it slightly to fit the GS3 with or without a case.
This case allows you to charge when docked, and adjust to fit with pretty much any case, and also swivel to view in landscape mode for GPS navigation etc.
Heres a link to the one I bought a few years ago for the 3gs so you can see what it was like originally. http://www.dsldevelopments.com/brodit/fitting_Instructions/Mounts.asp?Brodit=516042&Make=Apple&Model=iPhone%203GS
Heres some pics of mine now.
I turned the sides around so they were opposite as this meant it supported the phone further up, as the S3 is quite a lot taller than the 3gs. Due to swopping them over I had to file the groove so it went the full length for the phone to slide into.

I used a heat gun to bend the rear support bar back slightly, as on the 3gs it hooked over the top of the phone, whereas the s3 was too big so it just supports the rear now. This pic shows the back support and the adjustable turn screw things on the rear which enable it to fit with a case
I used a piece of rubber/plastic which I cut to size to hold the cable firmly in place.
Here it is with the phone in, it also turns sideways to allow the phone in landscape for satnav etc
Hope its all clear, im not the best at explaining but I try my best lol. If I missed anything just ask.
I hope it helps some people out.

Hey guys... so, I moved from the DNA to the HTC one about 3 months ago... Sort of have mixed feelings about the phone... Not a fan of the camera.. but MOSTLY REALLY miss my wireless charging...
SO, I decided to do something about that...
ANYWAY, im looking for anyone out there who might have a lead on REALLY shallow Micro USB connectors.
My current set is using a bunch of parts found on eBay.
USB Micro is about 1cm long (i need it about half that or less so it doesnt stick out from the case.
Im using a ULAK case (Somewhat bulky rubber/hard plastic... but it hides the Energizer/Blackberry Qi receiver fairly well)
And lastly, im using an old Energizer Qi receiver pad I had lying around.
I am happy to upload pics on how I accomplished this (it's actually relatively easy) and I am waiting on some S3 Qi pads to come in as theyre about half the thickness of the blackberry one Im using...
Anyway, if there's interest... id be happy to build some prototypes for people to try out.
I'd love to try it out.

I looked around for a bit and found this Chinese elbow connector.

If it's too thick, you could buy a cheap connector and remove the plastic. It looks like it could be flexible enough.
Wish I could simply stick the one processor in the dna. It has definitely been my favorite device.
We've had a number of Droids with desk and vehicle docks, but all of them were the keyboard kind (D1,2,3&4). It's been great being able to just plunk them down into their dock and not bother fiddling with cords. I'd like to accomplish the same thing with the Moto X, but the general feedback on the Griffin docks does not leave me encouraged.
Since we never had any of the portrait-oriented phones I don't have any of the side-connecting docks to test. Can anyone else confirm/deny if any of the older Droid vehicle docks might be 'close enough' to be made workable with a Moto X?

Well kinda, I use the, now cheap, Bionic dock by trimming the clamp & using the internal cable externally. You do need to trim plastic & use epoxy putty hold the female end of the new "power tether". It reaches nicely to the charge port. Edit: I keep my X in its Staples brand clear case while in the dock.
Efing iPhone will overwrite the first pic with the next!!

Yes those are wire wheels abrasions, my effort to have a case that sticks to my lap. Where is my old tire tread , all rubber OtterBox?
Got any pix of it? How well does it hang onto the Moto X, in landscape mode?
I will edit with my x, but the iPhone screen is stunning
