Am I just nit picking or does mine seem like something is applying downward pressure on the plate? I can't slide it straight in, I have to angle it down. It's like I had to work it over and break it in.

Because highly OCD. I replace OEM chargers if someone else plugs their phone in. It's pretty severe. I could continue using it, but I keep back up. I mean stock pile of back ups.

you might not want to do that with this phone, its a 2 amp charger. most are only 1 amp. If you use anything but the one it came with or an oem one your phone will charge slower.

Charging slow isn't a problem. I have all day. The wall charger I keep, it's the cables that I swap.
As bad as I am with all of the above, I keep an arsenal of these.

I got myself covered.
I got really lucky on ebay and got 2 new chargers, a headset and a new battery for 15.50, all oem.

That is a steal.
I have issues. Maybe. Counted 14 OEM USB charging cables. Have more upstairs on my night stand, my day bag and some for the car. I sold off a bunch.
This is just the S3 stash. I only have one S3. Then there are different styles of Samsung chargers in a plastic bin + HTC and LG stuff as well.

i am looking at this:
Galaxy S Battery Charger w/ Stand
samsung.com/us/consumer/mobile/mobile-phones/mobile-phone-accessories/ET-CHGPKNVGSTA/index.idx?pagetype=acc_detail&subsubtype=chargers&tab=accFeatures
but i can't quite tell how it works. does that flat part flip down to cover the spare battery as it charges? or is that the back of the stand? do you just set the phone up in that groove toward the rear of the device? is there a charging connector built into the stand part, or do you still have to manually plug it in?
sorry for the stream of questions - does anyone have experience with this?
I have the battery stand and it can hold the phone only if the cover is tilted. When you do use it to hold up the phone, battery is exposed

hopefully this helps. Let me know if you have any questions
so you're saying you take the back off for this?
Thanks for the pictures. I ordered mine last week and hoping it would come before end of the week.
Being mobile and on the go during and after work, 1 battery wont be enough for me and an external charger will help greatly.

Ph00ny...perfect, now I see how it works. Sitting in the stand, there is no integrated charging solution since the micro usb is on the top, right?
Well that's great for an extra battery, but the phone just sits there and doesn't get charged. Some body must have a better solution.

Samsung has another Dock that holds the phone Horizontally and charges it:
They call it a multimedia dock
http://www.samsung.com/us/consumer/...index.idx?pagetype=prd_detail&tab=accessories
ph00ny, can you lay the phone horizontally, or does it have to stand up?
It works great in horizontal orientation. You don't even have to open the battery cover
I will take some more pics tonight

Thumbs up for Top Gear!
Cool, I don't know how I missed that as I had been through their accessories pages quite a few times. Does it actually have a media out of some sort? I can't tell from the pic but it looks like there is another port on the back of it. And ofcourse it's out of stock.
I got a good deal on the Motorola rapid charger on ebay, shipped for $6. It charges fine and everything is good performance-wise, but there seems to be a problem with the micro-usb fitment with my TB. When I'm unplugging the phone from the charger it seems like it's stuck in there pretty good. Rather than just pulling on it and risking damage to my phone I just tried wiggling it out. That seemed to work and after about only the 5th use the usb end of the charger came apart and part of it was actually still stuck in the phone. Well of course I almost **** my pants because that's obviously not a good thing. I did get it out of the TB with no damage done to it, but now I'm confused as to why it's so much trouble to remove the charger from the micro-usb port. I see that it has 2 little hooks on the end and I don't see any release to push in as I'm unplugging, so what am I doing wrong? I read all the rave reviews on here and Amazon both about how well the charger works, specifically for the TB. The weird part is that I don't see anyone mention having this problem, can someone help me out here? I'll attach a pic of the charger just so we're on the same page here.

Yeah I don't know what the deal is. I tried it in my Nook Color when I still had it and there was no problem at all. So that would make me think it was the TB somehow, BUT... any other micro-usb I have ever tried in the TB has ever done this. I guess I just got a defective charger, I think I'm gonna try Amazon this time and just get another. Who knows where the ebay one came from. But the weird part is the hooks on the micro-usb end, I swear I think those are not releasing like they should or something.

You're an effing idiot...you know that?
1. Its not that big at all.
2. Do you just throw all your junk into a bag while traveling and hope it doesn't break?
3. You're still an idiot
This is what the wife's purse is for.
I really can't find any reason to carry this for. To each there own I guess

Lol, you tool, I think it's a great little bag. Currently I just have an old bag I shove everything into and hope for the best. Personally, I think it could be really helpful to have stored in your backpack or pack for traveling, like they said. Not necessarily to just carry around every day all by itself.

I'm a bachelor. And I don't carry it. It goes in any bag I travel with.
For anyone else who has had trouble with their charging port.... I replaced mine last night with a $8 one from eBay. Easy repair... just need torx screwdriver and a small Phillips one like for glasses... no soldering... just a ribbon cable and it works perfectly now. Just thought I would let anyone interested in doing their own know that its a easy fix.

Thanks for this info
The fact that my charging port may just stop working one day (like it has for others) scared me. And I thought that I may have to return to stock (on possibly a low battery) and send it in for a repair. I'm ording one now so that when the day comes I'm prepared.
Although it is worth mentioning that I have never ever had an issue with my dinc 2 and that its in the same condition that it was a year ago.

I replaced mine a while back as well and the procedure was super easy. My only thing is I have 6 batteries and two chargers so I still rarely use the port unless I'm transferring something.
I still have my jaw on the ground after watching this video!!!!!!! WOW!!!! Now, that what I call a must have accessory for Note 2 From http://www.diosystems.com/ Sixth Sense case with a built in touchpad on the back:

Not sure about wireless charging. Case connects to micro-usb port inside to activate touch pad like otg usb peripheral device. And it provides an external micro-usb port connection for charging.

Was just asking bc there were some wireless charging cases (same design using the microusb) so I thought maybe they might have killed 2 birds with one stone for Note 2 (on Verizon etc).

How is this helping anything? Maybe this would be handy if you had no thumbs to reach the front of your device.. lol
If it an issue of not being able to reach spots of your Note2.. use Nova launcher and configure it with swipe actions to do things.
I agree.. redundant.
Plus.. do you see how HUGE this case is?? it adds a massive hunk of case below the phone. The pics are very cleverly making that somewhat transparent so it doesn't look like the phone is any bigger.. but damn.. that's HUGE.

But in all seriousness, you gotta agree this is one of the most original and innovative accessories we have seen for Note 2 so far. Also, making case longer has its advantage to lower your grip for index finger to have more room to control the pad. What I would add to this since micro-usb connection already in place, a built-in external battery and to offer a custom case with some bumper/lip protection.
I keep coming back to this to figure out what problem it solves. with one hand I can reach just about everywhere on the screen that I would under normal non-gaming solutions.
Just not the right product for me.
But if you only have 3 fingers or something, great idea!
For those who are curious, this is basically the answer to the Pantech Vega 6, a korean only phone. I'm sort of surprised something like this came out so soon for the Note II, here it is. You may see more similar stuff like this being common as phones get larger and larger.
here's a short ad for the pantech vega 6, but all in korean. http://youtu.be/QwYhG4E3iiY
