Hi all
I noticed today that some games don't fit the screen of my phone. Some part of it is cut. Like this

I picked up the official Samsung S3 Desktop Dock today, and really like it.
I almost passed right over it, as it has Galaxy SIII in big letters on the box, but in tiny print underneath it says that it is compatible with the SII and Note.
I've got a few cheap plastic stands that I have been using to stand my phone up to view on my desk, but the S3 dock is a lot better (and also cost about 10 times the price).
What I like:
1. It still works with with my Capdase soft jacket rubber case on. (I tested this in the shop before buying it)
2. The front edge is low enough that it is still easy to use the menu, home and back buttons. Some of my other plastic stands have a higher front edge that means I have to lift the phone up with one hand to press the menu or back button.
3. The shortcuts on the dock homescreen are customisable. (this would be the same with any dock though that puts the phone into dock mode)
4. Audio out works well - if you are playing music and take it out of the dock, it continues playing through the phone speaker. If you then put it back in the dock, it continues to play via the speakers connected to the dock. This means that if I pick up the phone to do something that I'd rather have it in my hands for, and then put it back in the dock, I don't have to go into my music player to restart the music playback.
5. It is pretty much exactly the same width as my Note with the Capdase cover on. This makes it look really neat and tidy. Like it was made for the Note, rather than the s3.
6. The stand folds down and into the body, so the stand is flat on the top and bottom is you need to chuck it in your bag. Also, the stand is a decent weight, so it feels sturdy even if you are tapping at the top of the screen.
Pics attached for reference.
Is there some place for the thicker back that is integrated with the flipcover?
I don't have a flip cover, so I'm not sure. The Capdase cover adds 2-3mm thickness, and it still fits.

Where did you buy it and how much?

I bought it from a shop here in Thailand. It was 900 baht, which is about $30US. It's probably cheaper online.
I now have the Note 2 and it fits fine too.

I'm really excited about the prospect of using this phone to replace my pad of paper at work, but I'm wondering if it works as well as advertised.
Is it possible to write small characters using the S Pen and S Note (or third party app)? In the reviews I've seen they always use gigantic letters when demonstrating S Note.
What happens if I rest my palm on the screen? Do I have to keep the pen close enough to the screen (so it detects it as hovering) to avoid picking up touches from my palm?
I used it to take our menu order last night for 9 of us without any issues if that helps?

U can write small letter, thre is a slider that can change how thick/thin the lines gonna be and also can rest u palm on the screen while using s-pen writing. Its a new features on Note 2, there is a icon at bottom right that can activate not to react while a palm touching the screen while using the s-pen. Search for spen in youtube and watch the magic of s-pen.

Thanks for the info!
Did you consider buying the note 10.1?
I use it for note taking in lectures and the bigger screen is definitely an advantage there over my note 2!
Though the possible functions are nearly the same

Hey guys just saw a review by QBKing about this keyboard case and I was thinking of ordering one
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=oD0NDYgn058&feature=g-high-c
I thought I might as well sharing it with the community and I found it on amazon for $26 only which is not bad and it has a good reviews
http://www.amazon.com/Logitech-920-...keywords=Logitech+Keyboard+Case+for+note+10.1
note that on the item description it says custom cut for the note 10.1 wifi version which is the one I have
From reading the comments on Amazon, I believe that is for the Galaxy TAB 10.1 which means it probably won't fit the Note 10.1. The final picture listed also shows the box stating Galaxy Tab 10.1.
In my experience looking for a Bluetooth Keyboard Case the only one that I've found that actually fits and does a very good job is the Kensington model however it will set you back a hefty chunk unless you find it on sale like I did. The Office Depot in my neighborhood was moving and had it 50 percent off so I got it for 50 bucks

I'm looking to replace my Toshiba Thrive with a Galaxy Note 10.1 and I already have this keyboard. I loved it with my Thrive, but it was nowhere near going to fit it. I'm wondering if anyone with the Note 10.1 has modified the keyboard to fit. I understand you can easily prop up the tablet, but I'm looking at it as a protective case as well.
Thats for tab 2

I get that it's not for the note 10.1. I was asking if anyone has modified it to fit, such as taking a dremel to it to adjust the shape.
I could see modding the base to hold the tab would work but since the note is slightly larger doubt it would work as a case like with the tab2

amPen New Hybrid Stylus
Sometimes I hate having so many fingerprints/smudges on my devices so I use a stylus. And I know most of us have tried to those super cheap stylus that comes in like a 5 or 10 pack with the rubber ball ends. Then they break after a short time and the metal underneath comes close to scratching the screen.
These aren't the normal ball rubber ball ends. It uses this capacitive mesh and best yet, the mesh ends are replaceable instead of buying a total brand new stylus if something were to happen to it. You can simply unscreen the mesh tip and screw on a new one.
Performance/Testing
It works just as good or better than using your finger. Testing it on:
Ipad mini retina
Ipad 2
Ipad 4
Nexus 7 2013
Nexus 5
S3
S2
Galaxy Tab 3 7.0
There wasn't a time that the device didnt register the stylus. Playing games, apps, web browsing, reading books, scrolling between home screens. It worked perfectly.
Conclusion
The best stylus I have used so far.

Looks great, I'm just worried that the fat tipw on't feel right. I believe I need a thin one.
I am not sure what I have here and sorry I don't have a picture as my unit is boxed up at home but I noticed last night that along the left hand edge of the screen right where the screen ends up near the top of the tablet I can see what looks like a fine line crack or maybe even stitching it runs very straight and looks like fine stitching. It is right at an inch long. I notch the same effect along the bottom of the screen more towards the right center of the bottom edge and it is longer in length at around 2 inches.
I have had my tablet since release day but haven't used it in a month since I purchased the Surface Pro. Any ideas what this is?
Could just be the wagon digitizer matrix but without pics can't really say.
