For those that want a dock, or just the piece that pops into the front of the HDMI dock (for the GT7). Literally sold my GT10 yesterday; I'd buy one right now just for the plastic piece.

Probably my last post in this forum by the way. It's been a fun year (*found my receipt dated 7/30/11). Got the nexus 7 and I honestly can't imagine turning back. The GT10 is a great tablet and will be for some time; I just can't spend all of my time flashing ROMs on 2 devices! Anyways, enjoy your tablets, especially now that you'll have working cameras within a few days!
thanks for the link. price is very good.
is this site legit? 4.95 seems almost too good...

LOOOL. HHgreg is legit. xD :good:
my local store had two of them. bought them both. still need one more. the guys at the counter were annoyed that they had no idea of the price. so i feel kinda lucky they were there.
the downside... there is no charger. so they expect me to use the short three foot cord that came with the tab. that thing barely reaches from the plug straight up on a table.
anyone know the difference between the multimedia Desktop Dock in the OP with (Model: D1B1BEGXAR)) versus the this one (Model: EDD-D1B1BEGSTA) sold on amazon. They both seem to be for Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 original. I remember the Original galaxy 10.1 was thicker before the US version of the 10.1 came out. no way of telling if this is the case here.
I missed out on this awesome deal. No longer available in my area nor am I able to order online and ship to Washington DC.seems to be sold out or in-store only if available.
Thanks,
Nice deal but how about shipping to germany... ?
anyone know if i can get this one to africa ?
This is great, its only $3.82 now w/o shipping! I bought the media adapter from the original tab 7, which had hdmi, was just proping up the tab 10.1 with a piece of wood behind it, now I can buy this and just use the plastic base piece keyboard is also on sale 17.47, in case any one is interested
I realy want to order one toobecause in europe they are about at least 20-30 €..

just picked mine up in store, apparently they dont ship the dock, you have to do in store pickup. the guy at the store told me it was being discontinued, and I got 1 of the only 2 they had. I also picked up the SD adapter for the tab(official samsumg adapter) for $8.37. I had previously bought a cheap chinese 2 in 1 usb/sdcard adapter, its very ****ty and you have to hold it an exact angle, and not move the device, otherwise you a disconnect...

Its out of stock. It will let you put it in the cart, but when you go to checkout during the entering of the billing/shipping address it then says its out of stock and must be removed from the basket. Otherwise its a good deal.
If you're a Amazon Prime member its $9.72 shipped for the EDD-D1B1BEGXAR model.

I have the WiFi xoom. Today I went to the Verizon store to get a charger for my xoom and the camera connectivity cable (USB Host Cable). The guy kept trying to sell me a usb charger and swore it would work. He also couldn't find the cable in the system because it wasn't listed as an official xoom accessory in the verizon system. After I laughed derisively at him I went to best buy where they had an endcap of 6 xoom accessories. The cable I was looking for (now only 19.99, heck yeah), the dock (49.99, much better), keyboard 2 cases and a screen protector.
OK so six isn't a lot of accessories but since six is greater than zero best buy sadly won my business. Plus the verizon rep there actually knew **** about the xoom (if they know what rooting is you are talking to the right guy).
So my question is, to avoid all this nonsense in the future, where do you all go or buy from (if online)?
Try eBay and Amazon that charger at best buy I got for 28.00 new. The gel case I got for 6 new and got a knockoff stand case leather for 15 and it works great.

That's unfortunate. Did you try to email them to see if they can help you with possibly offering different shipping options?
Saw these guys at a small town fair in Louisville, CO a week ago. Looked like a good product and the guys who own the company were very enthusiastic and helpful. I specifically asked about GPS interference etc. and they said they'd evaluated several phones with no issues.
I also expressed concern about the size/thickness of the engagement point on the phone and they said that they were working on a lower profile version.
Would really like to see these guys do well. Another small business emerging from middle-class America. Gotta love that.
Similar idea to tetrax, but may be easier to find a mounting spot since it looks like it doesn't need the same sq inch spot if you're not using the vent mounted version.
Wow, this is awesome and perfect for my needs! Just went in for one!
I have a window mount currently but it's a pain if I want to rotate it at all because you have to loosen the ball joint and then tighten it back up. And it's almost impossible to do it with the phone in the holder while keeping it at the angle you want.
That, and the suction cup will fall off from time to time. I've also gotten "yelled at" by a cop for having it up as well, so this will "obstruct my view" way less!
This is so much simpler to use, even though it will add a slight bit of bulk.

Thanks for posting about this here, Iv been researching this product everywhere that I can, but its a hard product to find info about, and whats even worse is that the company has not returned my calls or emails in 3 days since contacting them. Either way I found the steelie product on sale here and I already bought it. http://www.123inkcartridges.ca/accessories-product/ST_C.html and now Im hoping it can be used with my galaxy note i717. Now this is a big phone, probably the biggest and heaviest on the market and im worried it will not work. Does anyone know if my phone will work? Also the steelie on this website looks different than all the other steelie pictures iv found, is the one I bought an older or newer version of the steelie? I already contacted 123 ink cartridges and they assured me that its not counterfeit.
Let us know how the thing feels with a big ol', honkin' magnet on the back of it. I'm intrigued, but think having a magnet the size of a 50-cent piece on the back of my GNex would make my having a pretty custom case rather pointless.
The site also says it doesn't interfere with NFC. I'm dubious and would love to hear from some third parties.

I see that they offer the Steelie Magnetic Phone Socket for purchase by itself, but dont see it listed for sale anywhere. Would be nice for different cell phone uses that drive the same car. I guess you could always mount it to a easy to swap out phone case if you have the same phone as other users.
While looking for a desk dock I found this one from Samsung:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EDD-D100BEGXAR-gallery
Looks like it does come with a separate power adapter, which is nice. Amazon doesn't sell that one yet though.
I was thinking about getting this stand instead:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Should be compatible with Note 10.1 I take it. $10 is hard to pass up on too.
Do you guys like powered desk docks or stands better? Thanks.
The EDD-D100 does not come with a new power adapter. You have to use the power adapter and cable that came with the Note 10.1. The EDD-D100 package contains only the dock itself.
The dock should be widely available as it was sold for the older Tabs already.
Thanks for clarifying that. Odd, can't seem to find it on Amazon.
Yes, that's strange. Amazon.de (Germany) has it, Amazon.com not.

Been using Arkon for a couple of days now. Sticky padding that tab rests on started peeling off. Probably gonna send it back.
Also got Samsung's dock but haven't opened it yet. Just thinking it might not be convenient using it as a main dock due to that connector. So, I think I'll keep looking.
Just buy some padding and replace it.

Hi everyone, I've FINALLY received this case from AliExpress:
http://www.aliexpress.com/item/1pcs...Soft-back-case-for-LG-G-Pad-8/1532446130.html
As promised, here's a YouTube Video Review.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=BV0AN_YhXpw
TL;DR verdict: It's cheap, it's black, and overall it works well. Fit is solid, all ports work out (except the SD card slot, which is covered - but that's hardly a dealbreaker), and it doesn't add any significant weight. Does not interfere with the speakers.
Would buy, but not from AliExpress. No fault to the vendor (who was pleasantly responsive to my inquiries), but on eBay you can now pick it up for $6 CDN shipped.
Thanks for reading and watching!

Mine was also sourced from the States as Newegg in Canada didn't have it at the time, Best Buy here STILL doesn't, and $259 USD on sale was worth the trouble of getting it brought up here by a family member.
The Quick Remote app DOES work on my Telus cable setup. I used the AT&T option and it works just fine. I don't know if Rogers, etc. would work, but one of the options just might be an equivalent. Good luck!

Did that and found 2cable companies that worked. Weird that thistablet still has not been released in canada where lg traditionally sells well.I imagine there will need to be a Canadian version of the lg software to include Canadian cable companies.

Drifting from topic, but my battery life is about the same as most reviews. I haven't put it through any rigorous testing, but when watching movies or YouTube on the unit it holds up any two hours in a row that I'd need it, I have it plugged in while at my desk at work, and standby time is awesome. I noticed the blue line, but I had to look really, REALLY hard for it so in practice it's not an issue for me. No appreciable light bleed either. I use it indoors so brightness isn't a huge issue, but for the list price it should have been brighter.
This is a keeper for me - I'm keeping this case as well and may get the IVSO in Red when it becomes available on Amazon.ca in a couple months. I miss a cover for the actual screen on this thing, but as long as I'm not outside or traveling (I *do* travel for work, so we'll see in the long run) this will do just fine.

Hey guys,
Nice review Mark! I was looking to get a silicon case quickly and this was the cheapest to do that so I got one from eBay, shipping from Germany to the UK and it's already been dispatched so should be here next week sort of time. I got it in red and will have some photos up when it arrives.
The VOIA case looks nice but, I will see how this one turns out before I get that guy, I have done the whole folding cover thing with the N7 and they never got used so I will stick with silicon this time around
Tom.
No worries Toyface! I've had the TPU case for a week now and have already taken it on a business trip with me. I find it unobtrusive and very comfortable to hold in one hand, with the grippy texture on the back. The volume and power buttons are not tougher to use at all. I've even gotten used to the fingerprints on the shiny parts. The ONLY downside is that on some of the USB plugs I've used since the video, some of them do deform the rubber on the lip a little. I doubt this will be a long term issue though, it springs right back when I unplug it.
On real-life bumps: when the tablet slid off of a chair during an airplane landing (my bad, it was sitting on my coat and fell off as the plane was braking), it landed face down and had no damage. Incidentally, my headphone jack was plugged in and while the jack was bent, the tablet was undamaged and kept working with the earphones. Point LG!
Finally, when I carry this thing around outside, I use a slipcase for an old Acer netbook. Not the most ideal shape, and I may get a more form-fitting one eventually, but it works. It's to the point where I may not get the IVSO / generic flip case after all, as this is working just fine for me.
Please post some pics of your red version when you get it!
Mark
So, my case arrived a couple of days ago. Post from Germany to England was very good and the eBay seller (phonenatic) was pretty great really.
So far,I think the case is pretty good, but I hate the color. It's supposed to be red, but in reality it's more pinkish than anything else. Cutouts are all good (as you see in the photos) and it has thick lip around the screen so landing flat shouldn't be too bad there. This one came with two screen protectors, I fitted one then removed it a day later, I just hate screen protectors. it was very easy to get on there though.
Tom.
Thanks for posting those pics! You're right, with the white version of the G Pad in there the red is muted somewhat to look more pinkish... I'm wondering if it'd look darked with a black version in there.

Looks like iOttie is taking reservations for their Qi car mount. Spoiler alert: It's $80.
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
I was hoping for a $40-50 price point. So, yeah, I'm a little disappointed.
Yeah $80 is way too high especially when you can get more "Premium" Chinese Qi Car docks for about $45. I figured the price was going to be more than we requested when the "Rep" that had the iOttie post suddenly went silent. $50 was just the high end of Purchasable range. $80 is high even if there were NO other options on the market. Heck the OwlPad sold for LESS than that much when it came out...over a year ago. So yeah makes me feel the company is trying to fleece the N5 owners.
Hey guys,
We did not go quiet on the postings - we were just advised from XDA moderators that that kind of posting is not permitted within the forums.
We do appreciate the constructive feedback with regards to our product & pricing. We will pass that information onto our management team for more detailed review.
I would buy it for around $40-50 but definitely not at $80.
80? This is why I've refused to buy the tylt vu. I have zero problem shelling out cash for accessories but that's ridiculous.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
80? Probably cost 15 to make at those quantities. I'll pass, thanks.
the air dock is better than this, and it costs less at $69, but even that's still way too expensive for this kind of thing. $80 is just ridiculous.
We are actually giving away a Nexus 5 and some Easy Flex Wireless mounts on Facebook today - be sure to check it out.

$70 with that 20% off offering that you all are sharing via Facebook if you sign up for the contest is pretty solid considering how much everyone likes the car mounts.

yeah the retail price isn't what it'll be on amazon. Funny I wrote in to them when I first got my nexus 5 asking if they were making one. Glad to see they did.
I'm curious on final price. Been using their mounts for awhile and find it pretty good.
I do have 2 of the indiegogo airdocks coming though. Which in the end is a better solution if it works.
Looks nice to me, I'd be all over it.

The contest says it ends the 47th of April? I tried to enter but apparently it's closed already.
Curious, I see that people are upset at spending $80 for a modern and functional mount that also wirelessly charges your phone. I think it looks awesome and I would totally buy it, but I'm curious, what other alternatives exist?

Other than the Air Dock which was a Kickstarter but now goes for $69 now and the OwlPad which has been out for OVER a year which sells for $57. There are others on Amazon and Aliexpress from $35-50 depending on quality. $80 for a plain old QI charger is just over priced. For $69 at least the Airdock has the Magnets for the N5 included in the design.
One thing to consider with a wireless charger dock for the car is how much flexibility in positioning it offers, cause most of the time, you'll probably need to put it where it can get some direct air conditioning. This Easy Flex Wireless, if it's like the Easy Flex 3, can be rotated 360° and put the phone hanging in front of the vents of my car.
Does anyone know if this will work with case on. I would get it but I wanna know if can have a case on my nexus and it will still work. If you know the answer please let me know. Thanks

It does, like any other Qi charger. IIRC Qi can do something like half an inch distance. In any case, it should be fine for any cases that are not battery cases or metal ones.
Not bad, but bouncy....
I pre-prdered this dock using the Facebook coupon, and it arrived over the weekend. I tried it out in the hopes that it would not exhibit the bounciness that the other wireless charging dock I ordered had.
I used my phone, both with and without it's TPU case (my phone is an LG G2) in this dock and on all but the smoothest of roads (I live in Michigan, so "smooth road" is almost an oxymoron) the bounce is very noticeable. There is just too much flex in the arm of the dock.
I have written to them via their facebook page in hopes that I receive a reply and hopefully a solution.
The pricing is now $69.95 on amazon

I have one and it doesn't charge with my case off. It will with case off. Maybe I should have it replaced
