yesh the wireless charging is like the palm pre you have to put on a replacement battery door BUT im going to buy this charging kit anyways cos the battery door is said to feel more premium coated in a rubber the induction coil is in the door.
the charging is like the palm pre you just put the device on a flat peice of plastic vola its charging

Is there any sample pic of it?

That's the million dollar question!! I guess we could ask some palm owners on their experiences

It'd be awesome to have. Until your cat knocks it off in the middle of night. Plus it's easier to plug it in then set it on something when I pass out

I'd heard that the stand was around £35. For a moment I thought Clove had got one, but that turns out to be the normal desk stand (I think, see http://www.clove.co.uk/accessories/samsung/samsung-galaxy-s3/cables-chargers)
Like the idea of the wireless charger because I've seen how easy it is, based on the three HP Touchpad's we've got in the house.

The Touchpad folks in the house haven't noticed any difference in charge time (apart from the initial one) between wired and wireless charging.
That said, the difference in the initial charge was quite long, (one TP was wired charged, the other two wirelessly), in the order of an hour if memory serves me. And if the Samsung charger is anything like the HP TP one then you don't have to be too precise with your device positioning.
Just wish that the Samsung S3's charger also allowed a headphone out - kind of like the old (?) Apple iPhone/iPod dock (the one with the remote). It'd be nice to give that Wolfson DAC a spin by using S3 as an iPod replacement.

The important questions are, is it compatible with my current PowerMat that I own. Also, I have read about PowerMat's new NFC charge card that should be out sometime this year. You swap out the NFC card with their NFC+Charge card and there is no need to switch phone backs.

September? WTH!

Yes what is the hold up?

What I've heard is that basically it was a last minute addition and was never going to be ready on time - it wasn't delayed, it was always expected to come this late after launch. Might get the LG Optimus LTE2 instead, as that also comes with wireless charging apparently.

Verizon Dock for GS3

I just got two of the desk top docks for the GS3.

verizon?? did you get it from a local retail store? how much is it?
edit: never mind, i see the price tag $49.99 each, damn expensive for just a dock imo.

I got it over the phone. Item SKU: SAMI535DTC

that's awesome. it'll work for all models

I can't find the SKU on the Internet.
It looks like the OEM SIII dock charger to me.
Does it charge a spare battery in the rear compartment?
Btw, here are three "OEM" batteries for $29 shipped.
Killer deal if it's legit. IMO.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/3-x-2100mah...545508?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item231e42bca4

Confirmed as OEM dock
I got one too. Verizon gave it to me for $15. It is the OEM dock in a Verizon box. FYI - It won't output audio from the G-Nex, but I assume that is because stock ICS doesn't support USB audio host well and the GS3 and this is one of the features of the GS3 that I'm most looking forward to.

How did you get it for $15?

I whined about my crappy DX2. This was one of their concessions.

AT&T Nokia DT-900 QI charger $24.50 + Tax/ DT-910 $51.75 + tax

***UPDATE*** there is an issue with some Nexus 4s and the Nokia DT-900. It appears to be an issue with some N4 implementation of the QI standard. Also does not semi affect all N4s. I don't own an N4 so don't know all the details. If you own an N4 this charger may not work for you.
I recently got a Nokia DT900 referb from ebay (white) for $24.99, and it works great. It includes a power source with a decently long cord.
I just saw AT&T is having a sale on the Nokia DT-900 (various colors):
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/accessories/chargers/sku6290260.html#fbid=BsyWhzJwki0
hope this helps those that missed out on the back-ordered Samsung wireless charger.
Just saw the DT-910 is also on sale for &51.75 plus tax. For those that want a charger that works as a vertical stand. That's the best price I've seen on the DT-910. personally a littler more than I'm willing to spend (money's tight right now).
UPDATE: Someone pointed out that is you have a Premier accout you can get an additional 25% discount if you order two ore more, that's $38.95 after taxes for two ($19.48 each after taxes).

Great find, I'm going to pick one up at my local store tomorrow! Thanks!

great catch! Just ordered 2 of them for the price of one, on top of that if you order 2 accessories, there's an additional 10% off. So for 2 chargers with the discounts and taxes came to 47 bucks.

I like the idea of wireless charging, but can't bring myself to pay $40, $50 or $60+ for a single wireless charger. $25ish is the reasonable area for me, maybe a little more for a charger that stand the device up for use while charging. Alas, all
those are still too pricey for me (Nokia DT-910, Tylt Vu).

wireless charging is less efficient, so all things being equal it will charge a bit slower.
I saw a chart someone made comparing the charge time of their phone, wireless (inductive) vs standard plugged in charging. It took that particular device (a Nexus 4, I believe) and additional 40 minutes to charge completely. I would assume the nexus 7 would take a bit more than that because of it larger battery. I would guess, and it is just a guess, a little more than an hour extra (75 to 90 minutes extra).
Maybe someone else who has done it can give you better info. I personally like to charge my device befer the go below 50% if it all possible.

I had the same thought you did at first but then someone pointed out that all Micro-USB ports are flimsy and that if you use them every day for charging, the can eventually wear out. So I could see it as an investment. Still haven't seen my way to forking over 50 bucks for the thing, but I may pick one of these up.

I'm not that worried about the usb port breaking. I mainly want the wireless charger just because I think it's cool I've yet to have a usb port break on me. I think I'll try picking one of those up at the att store since 25 seems like a more reasonable price for something I don't really need.

I have the Nokia 910 and it takes 5 hrs for a full charge. Approx 20% per hour. They work great for overnite which is what I use.
-----------------

Went to my local store today and was able to price match their website. So far it seems to be working great! It is even charging through an older folio case that I have that doesn't fit the nexus. So it's good to know that function will still work once the cases I ordered have arrived.
Now, did I need to buy this... no... But like most of my technology purchases I buy them because I want it. I like the ease of just placing it on the pad at night and letting it charge. Also it will keep one less wire floating around and protect the usb port for a bit.
Thanks again, OP!

Was it difficult to price match? I'm planning to pick one up today in-store. The website does say in-store pick up is doable so there probably won't be any issues.

Would they even price match the 10% discount if you buy two?

Tempting to get this. I had this exact charger that I used on my wife's GS3. The trickle charge kept us awake at night, so I sold it on eBay. My wife's GS3 would light up and make a sound when charging hit 100%. Then it would stop charging and restart when the device dropped to around 98%. Each stop and restart lit up the screen and played a notification sound. Not good when it happens next to your bed 8-9 times in the middle of the night. I guess its not a problem of you use a folio style case.
I don't think the USB port is going to break in the 1-2 years I will use this device before replacing it with something newer.

When I tried to select in-store pick up at checkout on the website there was no option to select a store, so I'm assuming I'll have to try to purchase it in-store.

Does the DT900 make the sound or the GS3?

The phone lit up and made a sound. The charger doesnt make a sound but it does have an LED light that turns on when charging.

Just got a black one from my local AT&T store. $24.50 plus tax, and they didn't have to price match it was on sale in the store for the same price. This was in Durham North Carolina near the SouthPoint Mall.
What I didn't realize before purchasing is that uses a proprietary cable, and not a USB cable. But for the price I guess I can't complain

I just picked one up from an AT&T store here in Los Angeles. I advised them of the online sale, but once they scanned it in, it showed up as $24.50. That part took less time than me explaining it to them what I was going to use it for!
Odd color scheme. I got the black one, but the actual power brick is white. Given the price, I can't complain...and it works perfectly.

USB C magnetic adapter

Did anyone found available now adapters like this:
http://www.znaps.net/#pre-order
I can't wait to January for shipping

+1 , was looking for similar products.

Wow, that is a great idea.

Wow. I wonder if it will be successful? It looks like a really good idea

--

Not so cool as charging speeds will be significantly low, as well as that extra 2-3 mm at the bottom. USB-C cable with magnetic frame instead of aluminum would be good, but this is like adding weight to your phone, size, everything.

the price tags a bit expensive tho.
but its nice i think so we just need 1 cable that can support many devices
interesting

I bought in a while back. It's worth a try.

So is they shipped this usb c adapter? At Now there isn't any usb c set

I've Got an answer from customer service. "We expect USB-C will come in mid 2016.*"

Nice idea. It would be pretty cool if they can make an adapter that somehow fits this
https://www.amazon.ca/dp/B01M11UT3V...m=A3DWYIK6Y9EEQB&pf_rd_r=1Q4P0V17WJYMSRC7QEZY
The adapter on one end connects to the phone, in the middle it connects to the receiver and at the other end it connects to the magnet which then further connects to the opposing magnetic snap on/off cable.
It would definitely add slow but convenient wireless charging to the OnePlus 2 along with adding magnetic adapter.
I think it would be a pretty cool idea

That being said, mine is working fine with the s8 Plus... unlike the $50 luxurious wood QI charger i recently purchased for my s7. which just pauses on the s8. This one performs as i would expect, hopefully it has some longevity to go along with it.

You guys must have the right touch.
I can't get my s8+ to work consistently on any of my Samsung Wireless chargers (The one from woot). Somedays they work fine, most days it pauses and drains the battery trying to charge. Not to mention they slide off as the lip doesn't seem really deep enough. I'm going to try the jet.com deal. Thanks OP!
Edit: FYI, select the Tan charger, then in the detail page, change the color to black. That's where the cheaper one is.

No, nothing in either one of mine rattles. It sounds like something may have broken off inside. Contact woot and see about getting a replacement. If you put the charge on your credit card, they should cover you as well.
