Here is my second dock tear down and mod for use with my custom wave guide table radio. While the basic construction from the removed connection part integrated well, I had to do extensive dremel work inside and out to get the connector to protrude enough to work with my skin case on.
It also charges my little comet and other bottom mounted micro USB phones. In those uses, the audio cable in the phone is needed as the dock audio out does not work on the comet.
Awesome! I love the look! Great work!

I just bought an HTC box that plugs into the phone's USB, I wonder if it's the same deal...
My old G1 and MyTouch had no headphone jack, instead there was a USB adapter, and the sound is piped through the USB...
I wonder if that's standard, or just something HTC jerry rigged.
I'm hoping it's standard, so that I can hide this box in the dashboard of my car, run a line from the headphone jack on the box to the aux in on my stereo, and just plug the USB cable in to charge and get audio out of my phone.
...from your experience though, sounds like a no go.
Sounds like it could work, let me know!

Anyone use a good Universal Car Dock that will work with the GNex?
Amazon seems to have a decent selection. I just ordered an Exomount. The have a demo video on their site and it looks pretty good.

I ordered a Empire universal mount. Don't buy it. It's advertised with GNex compatibility, the side arms push down the volume keys, even worse, It broke what I was trying to extend the arm. It was only $8, I guess I got what I paid for.

Sure. Just got it. Gonna try it out tonight.

The mount is surprisingly small. The base has some type of sticky element that allows it to attach to multiple surfaces. I'll find out tonight how well it holds up on a car ride.

Hello Jerk82,
How do you like the car mount?
Thanks
I'm wondering if I would be able to mod this with my official GSM Car Dock. My case on the phone (a small/slim TPU case. It's really popular here, I just can't remember the name) has cutouts for the pogo pins, but my phone obviously won't fit into the car dock with the case on.
Something like this would be perfect if I could "enable" the pogo pins.

I dig it. Its been on my dash since I bought it and its fallen off twice, which I think is due to the heat from being in direct sun light for months.

Was wondering if anyone around these parts has given the $99 dock a shot. I was thinking that with hdmi and a couple usb ports it was worth every bit of what they are asking.
Responsiveness?
Quality?
Ease of use?
Mouse and keyboard connected helpful or a henderance, work at all?
Large sshd work with it?
Scaling on different resolution displays?
The s3 doc works nicely

Yeah thats great but they are not even close to similar! The only thing they have in common is that they are both called docks.

That was informative! I think I seen that review before but fell asleep about two minutes in so therefore did not remember watching it.
Thanks for the link.
Well not sure what you're definition of a dock is but. The s3 doc meets my definition very well

Not sure what your definition of Galaxy Note 2 is but your GS3 dock doesnt have anything to do with the Galaxy Note 2 dock but, thanks for sharing
The topic is docks not specifically the N2 dock. THE s3 doc works well for charging and the system recognizes that it was inserted into the doc. It has audio our too so I would say it is a N2 doc too.

Thanks for the heads up on using the S3 dock for the N2. I'm currently using the S2 dock with my E4GT, and will be much happier to pay $30 for the S3 dock, rather than $100 for the N2 dock. Personally, I doubt that I would use the HDMI or USB ports on the N2 dock anyway.
Exactly. Another benefit is that rhere is a special home screen that pops up when you put the phone in the cradle on the note 2 that allows you to launch your choice of apps that to run when docked

I searched on here already, but couldn't find anything about this.
I'm looking for a dock I could use with a silicone or tpu case (not a folio). I have a cheap 'universal' eBay one for my S3, but obviously it's a bit more complicated with the Note's proprietary charger.
Does anyone know of anything? I'd be fine with a stand that holds it up high enough off a table top to plug a normal charger in as well.
I found these two on Amazon:

http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B003QCOKGO/ref=ox_sc_act_title_3?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
I think this might be a better solution than a regular dock.
Any other suggestions would be welcomed!

Here are a few that may work for you, remember you can rotate the note 10.1 180 degrees and have the plug at the top and the screen will rotate for viewing.

Almost positive I'll be going with the Myrin. The one for the Note 2 would for my S3! That'd be great to have them both at work.

Hi all im looking for a case similar to the one listed here but i think this is a bit girly for my likings . I use my nexus for work everyday and i travel with my 2.5" 2TB hard drive, a set of in ear headphones and A USB charging and OTG cable. I already have a premium google case for the device.
Any ideas guys

Took you advise and got the Grid-It Wrap 7 CPG35. Everything just fits in. Thanks a mil. The case feels awesome and my nexus 7 fits in slot with the premium ASUS cover, tight squeeze tho.
My 2.5" 2TB WD Passport, USB OTG Cable, MicroUSB Charging cable and my Headphones fit in and the case manages to close, only just.
