I got a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-II-I9100-ZENIS-DESKTOP-DOCK-CHARGER-CRADLE-/220883609072?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270865448058%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5859734319996833550
and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.
Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Looks like his LTE phone with a thin case was a tight fit, so this may not be what you are looking for :-(

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..
That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

I finally got the charging dock from 4u-mobi and can confirm that the GSM model with a casemate barely there case will fit..
I also got a s-curve TPU case, that fit this dock as well....
In both combinations you need to take off the insert
what about the clingo desktop stand. i;ve been looking at getting a universal desktop dock so that i can use it with a case and future phones.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.
Anyone know of any intel on the OFFICIAL CAR DOCK for the SGS3???
I haven't come across any information about availability for it on the interwebz. There are many generic mounts, but the Sammy Car Mounts are the best and fit/function perfectly. I haz to have it with the SGS3 when I get it.

You can order the car dock from Samsung or at&t but either way it will be shipped. At&t doesn't carry it instore but the new one is universal. Works with the S3 and the Note.

I posted this in the international forum, but thought I would post here as well to give my thoughts to those of you thinking about the exogear "exomount".
just got my exomount today. its way smaller than I was expecting! I hope this thing holds like it is supposed to. Feels super cheap too. I thought everyone wanted the exomount because it was such high quality and stuck well. I dont have my S3 to put it in, but I have my Thunderbolt in it now and so far I'm not to impressed.
Has anyone ever used a Naztech 4000 Universal Car Dock? It says it's compatible with the S3 and it's pretty inexpensive. Here's a YouTube review:
http://blog.fommy.com/reviews/16042/naztech-n4000-universal-phone-mount-and-charger-review-in-hd/
I've seen it on eBay as well as Amazon. Thoughts?
The Infuse dock for $17 shipped is a much better dock.
Actually IMO, it's the best dock for the S3 right now.
Search the forum for info about it. Use keyword "infuse".

My only concern with that one was drilling out the holes for the speaker but it may still be worth looking into.

If you use the 3.5mm audio-out option then there will never, ever be a need to use the internal speaker.
Actually, I've been using the dock for the last seven months with a Skyrocket SII and never once used the internal speaker.
So my point is, don't worry about drilling. It's not needed.

Works for me! I'll probably get this one then even though I will still have to drill. I don't have an AUX input on my car stereo...

Yeah. If the Infuse Dock works (and it's $17) I'm fine with it. The Naztech looked like a good concept though.

What Car dock do you guys recomend for Galaxy S III?
Looking for something that would do following:
1) activate car mode (is there one?, my atrix had it)
2) must be in landscape
3) attaches to the window
4) will work with galaxy S III that has a case on it.
walmart dude
i just picked up a mount for my galaxy s II at Walmart yesterday. nothing special but it mounts to the window/dash. and it has PLENTY of room for even the bulkiest of cases. don't know what its called at the moment but it was down by the ipod accessories. it has an iphone in the display picture but it fits.
I went online today to ask if Samsung has any immediate plans to release a custom car dock for the S3 and the customer service rep claimed there are no official plans as of now. I'm sure they'll come out with one eventually and that this isn't any sort of groundbreaking news but at least it's some sort of "official" statement. I did not contact the number she gave at the bottom of the chat transcript though I may try later on if I get some free time.
Edit: I realize now this was an automated response system I was dealing with rather than 'Lisa'. Apologies.
so, noone can recommend a good car dock?

Derp, skipped over bullet point number 4.
Pretty sure you won't get card ock mode with any 3rd party dock unless you program a NFC sticker for the device.
I've used Arkon products in the past and they always seemed to work. As far a using one with a case attached to your device, I wouldn't know, but you may have to do some measuring to ensure it will fit within one of these mounts:

Unless you can find another dock that includes a magnet (I guess you could always add one) to force car mode, then yes.
I'm using a Garmin Nuvi mount and it fits my S III perfectly with its case on. Its small and very secure on the dash or windshield. The only downside I have to use a separate usb charger which doesn't activate the car dock mode.

Im in the same boat as you. I think the best we are going to do is getting just any we like and add an NFC sticker on it to change the mode for us. The iBolt will do this, but not sure I want to spend $50 for that, when I can get one with a charger for $20 and I have some NFC stickers already. Im not going to take the case off everytime I want to dock the thing for sure , otherwise Id grab the infuse one.
It looks like most of them will fit on my Garmin bean bag mount so I dont have to stick it on the windshield each time as I live in Texas and it wont stay on in the heat all day Im sure.
with ibolt you have to remove the case?
I went with the ibolt it does all you have listed but it is a bit pricey. So far though, it is sturdy. To answer the post above, no you dont have to remove the case. I hear it fits the otterbox so thick cases probably work too.

The GS3 dock modes aren't set by magnets but a specific resistance across 2 of the USB pins.
There is a different resistance for the car and desk modes.. There is a thread around that specifies those values.

I went with the ProClip Dashboard mounts for my Mustang GT and the Universal T3 adjustable so mine would fit with the Otterbox Commuter. I used them about 5 years ago and loved them.

Very well. Not sure what material the suction pad is made from but it sticks very well to my dashboard and window more so than any other car holders I have tried over the years.
Sticks a little too well for me. I can't reposition it.
