$12.00 dock on ebay

Just wanted to share this dock i found on ebay. Looks way better than the samsung one as it has a simpler design. Looks like an iphone dock.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GAL...ccessories&hash=item19cbf0b955#ht_10221wt_905

If you look at the picture closely you can see that's an international galaxy s2 in the dock our phones have different dimensions than that of the other versions of the galaxy so that dock may not fit your phone at all. A good trick for looking for the proper accessories for our phones, since there are so many versions of it, is including "t989" in any search on eBay or Amazon you do.

Well the dock is made to fit our phones, so of course it will fit the international version as well. I saw a couple of reviews on youtube and the s2 was able to mount with a case. Thats good enough space to fit the extra thickness of our phones. I ordered 2, I will give feedback once I receive them.

Please do. I'm intersted & would like one at the house

I have had this dock (actually 3 of them now) for a few months. Used it with my AT&T Samsung Infuse then with my AT&T GS2 and now with my T-Mo T989.
Fits and works perfectly with the T989 even with the Diztronics case on it. Well worth the price.

You shot the OP down without even reading the ebay description. T989 is one of the compatible devices.

Correct, and it will work with just about any brand "bar type" phone with the jack centered on the bottom. You either use or don't use the rubber insert that comes with it to adjust to size or with or without case. For $12 it's a great buy. If you want it faster there are some US sellers selling it for around $20.

This looks great !! Quick question though. Do you have an hdmi adapter for yours ? I'm looking to basically be able to charge/hdmi out by dropping it in a cradle lol
1 more question. Does the phone feel sturdy enough in it? I'd like to get 1 to modify into a car mount too
Thanks !

Since all this is is a charging dock, there is little for it be "better" or "worse". Essentially, all it is is a USB cable, with large head. personally i would go for the cheap one. If you were looking at a multimedia dock, it would be different.
personally, i would go for the hyperion one (also on amazon, and I cannot post links, yet because new members aren't allowed to help people directly, so you have to search for it) and save 2 bucks more.

thanks again
I found it. I had a bad experience with the wall chargers from them One didn't work. took awhile to get a refund
It looks ok tho.
1. It looks case compatible, don't you think?
2. The title says GS3, but the description says Galaxy Note. I do think it is for the S3
3. I did find the Kidigi which is more than that, the original Samsung, or the EZOPower, the Deluxe Piano Black Charging Cradle Dual Purpose Case Compatible. I dont know where to get it.
Thank You

I actually like this dock. Would LOVE to hear from anybody who has it if it would fit a thicker case like the Incipio Silicryilc. It's still fairly thin but not quite the skin-like cases that many love.

My thoughts:
1. case compatible? probably not... unless you have a dremel... if you do: yes it is.
2. with that shape, if it works for the note, i BET it works for the S3, as the S3 is thinner... but it might be "floppy"
3. kidigi says that the only US retailer is hypercel, but hypercel's website does not have it listed....

Bluetooth Keyboard and Stand

I mainly bought this tablet for school. I was looking into a good bluetooth keyboard with Android specific shortcuts like Home, Recents, Back and Menu. I was looking at the Motorola Wireless Keyboard with Trackpad seeing that it also has a trackpad. But I notice that it has a search button instead of Recents. Would I be able to remap the search button to work for Recents instead?
Also I was looking at stands. I prefer to have a stand alone stand and not a case/stand combo because I love the sleekness of this tab. I was looking at the Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand but it looks kinda flimsy. Last thing I want is this thing flipping over and breaking.
Can anyone give me some thoughts or other suggestions if need be?
Edit: I just seen the ErgoPROP Ergonomic Display Stand. I think I am sold on this one. Has anyone ever used this stand before?

I have this keyboard http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-...089&sr=8-1&keywords=logitech+android+keyboard, and I love it. It's case doubles as a stand.

I agree too, i bought ithe logitech and love it. I haven't tried other keyboards, but im pretty happy with the logitech so i dont think theres really a need to try a new one

I have two of the Arkon stands, which I use with both the Note and my ThinkPad - a heavier, bulkier tablet. The stand is not flimsy at all and has held up well in constant use. I've had the two stands for more than a year. Very portable, but also very sturdy.

I was going through the Website for Samsung India and found something which I would like to have.
Its not made for the Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 but was wondering whether this will work?
Bluetooth Keyboard with Book cover(P750) - BKC-1B1USBGINU
Please let me know whether this will work for us and i'll be very thankful.
Thanks.

You'd been saying a no, reason being the weight of the product?
The price is not the prime issue, my reason to vouch for it is it being the product by Samsung for Samsung...
I'm confused because there aren't a lot of products directly available in India

My reason is based on the size of the Note. It is bigger than the model that item is made for. That said, it's your $.

You were right.
I did little checking too with the local dealer.
Besides that, I even mailed the Customer Care at Samsung and asked them for details.
They have reverted back saying it is not compatible.
What would your suggestions for a keyboard case be like?
Are Samsung Guys at all planning for something like this?

I'm looking for one myself. Haven't found one I like, yet. Check out this thread for help. The first couple of posts are not helpful since they talk about one for the Tab, maybe even the one you found. The rest of the posts may be quite helpful, just depends.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1865546

Hmm...
Its kinda sad but Samsung ain't taking a lotta effort it seems.
Hundreds of options (After Market) are available.
Belkin, Kensington etc... have organised accessories but I think / rather I would wait for Samsung.
Hope its not a LONG one...

Thing is, it's still kind of early. Could be Samsung is letting the aftermarket handle things. Who knows?

Think you're right.
Anyway its nice to know I'm not the only one on the lonely road.
I'm pretty sure though the options will be available in Europe / US markets comparatively earlier than India (Asia).
If so, can you be kind enough to inform me of the product?
Thanks.

Sure, if I find one and if I remember. I do taxes and we're heading in year-end and tax season. It's brutal.

I have an identical stand sold under a different brand name. I stopped using it when I got a ZAGGFolio for my old Tab 10.1, but since I don't have a proper keyboard/case combo for the Note 10.1, I'm using the stand again.

Because it is for the Tab 10.1, not the Note 10.1.
It's VERY well established that any case specifically made for the Tab or Tab2 10.1 will NOT fit the Note 10.1.

Thanks I ordered my arkon the other day I'm waiting for it to come in. I went ahead and got the motorola bluetooth keyboard with trackpad and I am in love with this keyboard. The build quality is great it feels nice and solid. Pairing is quick and easy and the mouse pad works great now i just need to find out how can I map the call button on the top right to bring up recents and ill be set

Yea thats it. Its a great keyboard so far. the only con so far is that it uses AA Batteries instead of having a built in battery. But I got a ton of rechargeable batteries so idc too much

Need recommendations for Keyboard/Case combo for Note 10.1 (2012 Ed)?

I've spent the whole day researching on which keyboard/case to buy and to my conclusion, there's none that's exceptional in the market.
-Samsung's standalone keyboard has awesome reviews but it sucks that it's not embedded in a case.
-Belkin's version has horrible reviews on it
-The ones on amazon and eBay have issues with magnets interfering with S-Pen capabilities.
-The aluminum one also has horrible reviews
Not sure where to turn to, I'm a college student (pre-med) and I just got the Note recently because i love the multi-window function as it'll allow me to type the lecture/draw diagrams(anatomy etc.)
Does anyone here have any experience with a keyboard/case combo?
Thank you

There's a $99 bt model I've had my eye on for awhile. I want to say its a case logix or logitech. What makes it so great in my mind is the 4 corners are velcor attached (very strong velcro), plus 2 different types (tab thickness) for the corner pieces. I saw it at microcenter.

Tips for a pleasant XDA:
Search before asking. Someone has likely already asked.
Spell your words completely, and use punctuation. It confuses people when you use "u" and "ur" and "dat", or when you wrongly use "there/their/they're/your/you're".
Be nice. Don't be rude, just move on to another post without leaving a comment. We are not 7 years old.
And PLEASE, do not ask for the "best" anything. We all have our preferences.

I agree, it's hard to find one that's worth anything. I managed to find one where I am now. It's OK and pairs using Bluetooth. You sometimes have to go back and tap a letter a second time, which for a college student, might not be the best thing. I have Swype on my tablet and it works just as well as a keyboard. That's what I use when I'm at work. Whatever you get, make sore you look at what holds it closed and go for Velcro. The one I bought had magnets and they were strong enough to distort my screen when I was using writing apps (S-Note, Papyrus, etc.).

My solution to this was just to use an apple bt keyboard with my samsung note. I have limited desk space in class and it really helps to be able to keep my keyboard in my lap. I just discovered this case while trying to figure out a way to carry my note and my bluetooth keyboard easily. Its designed for ipads and it was a bit of a squeeze but my tablet is nice and snug now and the s-pen is not blocked

Do you have a model name and/or supplier you can mention?

Here are three models I am considering, two on eBay/dx and one at "TVC-Mall". Since I am a new user, I can't post links to them or pictures, but here's enough info to find them, I hope:
1) "Seenda"
On ebay - seller named globalsucceed01
Also on DX.
DX has it in several colors. It says it uses magnets, which some people have commented can be a problem. Cost is close to $30.
It says the keyboard is removable.
2) at TVC-Mall :"Ultra Thin Bluetooth Keyboard Leather Stand Case For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1"
Never bought from TVC-Mall, but web reviews are mostly good - they take PayPal, which provides some measure of protection. This one looks pretty sleek. Shipping is a mite expensive - brings total cost to about $31.
3) "Generic"
A seller named "wfei_shop" has it listed as "Bluetooth Wireless Case Keyboard Cover For Samsung Galaxy Note 10.1 N8000 N8010"
This one has flap in front that looks like it might get in the way. On the other hand, it looks like the keyboard is removable. I've seen this in several colors, too. Cheaper - only $23
Anyone ever tried any of these? Anything to watch out for? Any opinions on any of them (from experience or reviewing the listings)?
Thanks!

Do you want to see a keyboard case from Anker?

Hey guys, so Anker is a well known accessory maker for many devices. They are mostly known for the batteries and chargers but have recently (in the last year or so) pushing into the keyboard maker area for tablets. They recently got back to me in one of their forums that they might look into making a keyboard case for the Galaxy Note 10.1 2014! From my personal experience, they are really good at listening to their customers and are quick to innovate.
So I'm proposing a poll here to you guys to see if you would be interested! They have made this type of keyboard case for the iPads: http://www.ianker.com/product/98APIPAD5-BFA , which I think would be perfect for the Note 10.1. Please also feel free to comment on what kind of keyboard cases you would like to see or think are most useful.
Disclosure: I am not an employee or related to anyone at Anker, but I am in their Power User program for reviewing their products. I was not paid or prompted by Anker to post this. I just really want to see some manufacturer to finally make a nice keyboard case for the Note 10.1!

Thanks for the tip.
Anker makes realy good quality things, i have the 40 watt charger and its awesome. build quality is beyond anything i have seen. We need more quality things.

Agreed. i wish that they or someone else would actually make a nice keyboard case for the note 10.1. but since i only got a few responses from here, i dont think anker will acutally do anything.
Currently, i have tried stand alone keyboards, like the K480, anker slim, etc. also have tried the periduo 880 from perixx, which has a touchpad and i think is a fantastic option for those who don't mind lugging it around. However, I've realized that I really want a keyboard that I can put on my lap and type away with the tablet attached. Iknow this adds a lot of bulk, but i don't mind it. I'm currently using a keyboard case from ebay (one of those alumnium ones that have the case with it).
There are rumors of a galaxy note 10.1 2015 coming out, i'm hoping that they will have better accessories.

I don't think there is any chance that this will happen. The Note 10.1 2014 did not sell well (it was much too expensive) so the numbers never justified it and now, more than 18 months after its release, there isn't a cat in hell's chance anyone is going to start making new accessories now.
