I know the Car Dock comes with an insert for the phone if you do, or don't have a case on it. Confirmed today that the laptop dock does too. I assume that all the docks have this, but haven't seen an entertainment dock or standard dock. If anyone can confirm with pics, it would be greatly appreciated. Here's the laptop dock one in pics attached to this post.

I don't have pics but the Multimedia dock and Standard dock are the same way
I've got the MM dock and the car dock, and have played with the charging and LT docks in store. All have the little panel that pops out. The speck sorta works with the MM, charging, and LT docks, but not at all with the car dock. I now have the feather, which works with all 4.
I have the BodyGlove case from AT&T, and it works great on the laptop and car dock.
Son of a mother f*cking b*tch!!!!!! I already sent back my standard dock!!!!!!!!!
I have a Otterbox Commuter case, do you think that it would fit with the insert removed? The micro plug was really close to getting there, just couldn't make it work.
I know that even with my thin Body Glove case, the phone wouldn't even think of fitting in the laptop, but with the insert out, fits with ease. Could work fine, but I haven't dealt with the Commuter case yet.

I hate you... thanks for the info. guess I might re-order and give it a try.

Wait a minute... I'll run down to the local AT&T store, they always have the Atrix in the Multimedia dock (same dimensions as the standard dock). I'll pop out the insert there and see if my case will fit.

Yep, my store didn't get the multimedia dock, just the laptop dock. We haven't recieved the otterbox defender in either, only seen them online. Best of luck, let us know what you find.
Well, no dice with the otterbox commuter case... I went to the local AT&T store, took the insert out of the standard dock, and the micro adapter still wouldn't reach. You should have seen the look on the dumb ass sales persons face... haha priceless.
I'm also assuming the otterbox defender case will not work either, as it is larger than the commuter case. Thanks anyway, still good info. to know.
Well I hope I'm not a thread-killer as I posted this several days ago in another thread and never had any comments on it...
I searched around on many forums but found no discussions about the "larger case" insert documented in the manual, at least for the Multimedia dock.
It's listed in the manual as part number SJYN0722A. The manual indicates that it is included when purchasing the dock and is for use with a "ruggedized" case. This is also referenced at Motorola's FAQ on accessories for use with a "2 shot battery door fit plate", whatever that is/was.
The insert that is being removed is part number SJYN0723A.
Anyone have this 22A insert or know anything about it? Was it discontinued before the docks were even released?
I have the Incipio Feather case and have removed the insert as discussed to use it in the Multimedia dock. It works, but does not physically support the phone at all as others have mentioned.
Thanks!

Not killing the thread at all, more info is always welcome. I would assume that the other part number is just the dock connector with no insert on it.
Sorry to double post if you already put this up, hadn't seen anything and it was cool to find out.
Thanks link12245
The manual specifically speaks to two inserts. One for just the phone and one for "over-sized" cases.
I guess that it never made it to production and Motorola didn't change the manuals....
motorola forgot to add the plate
i spoke to motorola support @ 800-734-5870, they acknowledged that the plate (part #: SJYN0722A) should have been included. they will refund the full amount for the dock & advised me to repurchase it online. the newer docks now includes this part.

I was going to call support, but thought I would ask around first.
I purchased this from Amazon and got it last week. I'll see if they have new stock for a return and/or give Motorola a call to see if I can find out who has fresh stock that has the insert.
Hey,
has anybody already tried out the docking station?
Is it possible to fit the Note including a flip case into the station?
Does the station have an audio/video out or is it only for charging?

It has a speaker out port, but sadly is not compatible with the flip case; too much extra bulk around the side and back. Very nice if you don't use the flip case, though, the Note slips easily into the dock, and it looks elegant.

Wow, that docking is pretty nice. It looks like the leather flip cover will still work with it. Now the questions is where can I get one.
i received it today, its nice and much easy to put and pull the phone. in the box there is only the dock, they dont add nothing else. u can turn it landscape (with the phone docked). 49€ with shipping, in italy, expensive...

I wouldn't say it fits fine with the flip case; because of the extra bulk on the side, some pressure is required to jam it in, and because of the extra bulk on the back, the Note has to be tilted forward to mate with the USB connector, and you can't just drop it into the dock. You can make it work, but it's really not comfortable, and I'd be worried about damaging the connector. If they showed someone dropping it into the dock on the video, it would not look quite such a good combination.
That Dock would be just perfect if it came with an external battery fitted within it to be used as a stand while away from a power source.
Might still get one though.

http://www.android-hilfe.de/zubehoer-fuer-samsung-galaxy-note/162759-dockingstation-fuer-samsung-galaxy-note.html#post2238012
The official dock does not seem to allow use of an MHL adaptor on the back of the dock. Power still goes to the Note but no HDMI output. Tried several times, even tried internal/external speakers settings in "Dock" but no difference - still no video.
Can anyone else confirm?
PS. The dock does not come with a power supply, you just use you existing PSU/lead.

Have you actually experienced this, or are you speculating? I don't believe the Samsung flip case adds any extra bulk at the back, as it replaces the original back cover.

I have the cover and dock. I watched the video and though the Note did fit in the dock with the cover and ordered both, but it doesn't.
One the left side the back cover is thicker to allow room for the leather flap. You can still use the dock by titling the phone forward at the top but the the only thing supporting the phone is the dock connector.
Once I get a screen protector I'll remove the cover as I'd like to use the dock and it will be easier to use with my car dock.
The case does make holding the phone easier and it feels more secure in your hand.

Yes, I have. The back is more substantial than the rather flimsy original battery cover, making e.g., the camera more recessed, and the extra width of the flap doesn't help the device slide down, either.
So is the dock useless if you have the flip cover-case on? Or can you use the dock, although the phone doesn´t fit "perfectly"? I´m considering getting both accessories, but am a bit confused.

I wouldn't use them together. It's a really tight fit because of the flip on the left, so doesn't slide down as easily as the naked Note, and needs to be jammed in. Because of the thicker battery cover, when the microUSB connector is mated, the Note is tilted forward, putting stress on the connector.

I'm looking at the same problem here. I've been using a holder with the 2 amp charger for the past two years with my Incredible and absolutely love it. I've never been able to get an extended battery because of how tight it slides in, though. I'll email them and ask but I might have to just swap in the stock battery for rides I know I'll need the juice.
Pros of using this are great, though. Because it's 2 amp charger I would get ~25% in about 20 minutes of driving with my Incredible with fast charging enabled in the kernel. GPS and Bluetooth for Google Maps would slow the charge down but would still give me a full charge from 20% to full in an hour. With Cyanogen I would set my bluetooth to only turn on when connected to a wall charger so I'd slide this in and my buetooth would turn on and connect to my car automatically. Last but not least, your wires are all tucked away! Very clean look.
Does the mount hold the audio cable so it doesn't move and it plugs into the phone?
Any issues with the diztronic TPU case? Would it prevent the microusb or audio plugs from inserting into the phone completely?

If you get the universal dock, the bottom of the phone is completely exposed so you won't have any issues. I got my wife one of these (universal) for her iPod a few years back and the build quality is top notch.
i wish I didn't have to also plug in the cables separately, but maybe I can jerryrig something up.

If you don't want to remove the case, then you need to get the universal dock. I wish them made a version of the active dock that was slightly adjustable, but they don't.
My question is would the charging holder accommodate the extended battery given that it barely adds any thickness to the device. From the looks of the pictures, it looks like the device slides in and is held on to the sides only so it looks like shouldn't be a problem.
I contacted customer service and they said this:
Indeed the added battery won't make it work in 512324. Our adjustable holder listed with the Galaxy Nexus listing might work. Our custom holders are made for the device as it comes out of the box, and indeed any added thickness will make it not work in our custom holders.

Most extended batteries tend to add a lot of bulk (more than cases sometimes). The person who emailed you back may not be aware that the GN's extended battery adds about 1-2 mm of bulk to the bottom half of the phone.
Since the holder is a slide-in type, I can't see this being 'millimeter-tight'. Don't take my word for it but I'm willing to bet that this will fit even with the extended battery on.
I guess we won't know for sure until someone gets the fitted holders and try it though. I'd try, but I've a case so the fitted ones do me no good for sure.

80 bucks for that dock. Ouch. Good concept, but that is a bit rich.
I wish you could buy these at a store. I've already got the whole set for the Nexus One and I've been waiting for the GN mount. I just added to my cart and it's an extra $20 in shipping (to Toronto). So after duty at the border I'm looking easy at $60 just for that one piece of molded plastic. Yeah the mount is great, but that's seriously expensive.
I've used their cases for the last 2 years, nexus s and thunderbolt, and they are great. I still have my Nexus S holder and the picture of the one on their site for the GNex looks like the same style, if so it should work with the extended battery. The slide in case is tight on the sides but leaves a gap behind the phone, see attached pic. The phone slides into that groove and the groove itself is very thin so it doesn't appear it will interfere with the rear battery cover at all.
Proclips is a great solution. I've used it for my car for years. I used them in 3 different cars. Pricey however, it works very well. A+
Got a negative response =(
Unfortunately not. We only have adjustable holder with charging for our Apple line. These have all the same connectors in exact the same location.
For other phones there are too many differences in charging location and thickness of cases.

It was to be expected. They are not going to design a niche product for a phone until it sells consistently in the millions. That said... Creating a Micro USB small swing arm to make it universal should be too hard....
If I feel industrial, I might see what I can make on my own.
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.

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.
Sent from my SGH-T989
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.

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.

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 !

I made a custom car dock and docking station for the bionic- I was going to integrate HDMI & a usb hub (kind of like this ultrabook docking station) so ppl could use Motorola's Webtop Software more easily... but the # of ppl w/Bionics seems to have diminished extensively.
Anyway, I'm wondering if folks have any dreams for a sgs3 accessory that they'd like to exist.
I want the Mugen dock w/HDMI but it looks like it's out of stock until September... so I may design one myself. lmk any thoughts!

3D printers are amazing, and have really come down in price. I remember the first laser printers were in the $5000 and up range... ($5000 on the lower end as I recall)
And now, you can print in 3D ......... soooo cool.

In any case, here's something I'd definitely design and print for my phone if I had a 3D printer: End caps and/or snap-on housings for my right-angle 3.5mm stereo cable AND my right-angle micro USB cable. Why? Because I often have both plugged in and it's a pain to comfortably hold my phone in landscape mode while gaming with the nubs of each cable connector jamming into my hands. Would much rather have something with more surface area covering 'em. (KICKSTARTER?! $$$ )

if you give him the 3d geometry file he can print it providing the overhangs are not too bad or it may have to be done in multiple parts.

Just upgraded from my bionic to this sweet phone & ordered the 4200 mah extended w/nfc from amazon for $19.
I made a custom car dock and docking station for the bionic- I was going to integrate HDMI & a usb hub (kind of like this ultrabook docking station) so ppl could use Motorola's Webtop Software more easily... but the # of ppl w/Bionics seems to have diminished extensively.
Anyway, I'm wondering if folks have any dreams for a sgs3 accessory that they'd like to exist.
I want the Mugen dock w/HDMI but it looks like it's out of stock until September... so I may design one myself. lmk any thoughts!

I would love a docking station for this beast.
which 3d printer did you get? I'm pricing a few out right now as well if anyone has any pointers...
I desperately want a 3D printer. So many ideas in this thick skull. lol
You should do the inductive charging mod for your phone with the Pre back cover and fabricate a car mount for the S3 with a slot to slide a touchstone into it.
Oh yeah, I'd want one. I'm hoping for something similar when Samsung eventually gets around to releasing their official inductive charging kit unlike the Verizon only one that Big Red just released.
That's a really nice docking station for the Moto btw.
Responses for all!

So how would this work if you printed something for me? Not sure what yet, but I'm sure I could think of something that I've had in mind

Well if it's something that I think sounds cool I would probably just make it and send you one for free- the material isn't exactly cheap but it's definitely not expensive, either. The design time sometimes takes a while (2-10 hours), though, depending what it is. But yeah just throw down some ideas.
I'm also up to do custom orders for relatively cheap (~$20/hr design time, $3 per ounce printed). You can see some stuff I've done here, here, and here.

After I hacked my bionic for wireless charging I tried designing part of a phone back (my first print + first design ever, so it looks terrible). Even now that I'm pretty good with the printer & designing things, I don't think it has quite the precision for the fine interlocking mechanism required for the phone back to snap to the phone.
Also, you can see the fine bead of the print so it doesn't look as smooth as china-factory-printed-plastic. (see photo from first post) - so it's better for docks and things like that.

The makerbot replicator has worked extremely well for me! ($1700). It will do 50+ prints without an issue, and until last week the only fixes I had to do were replacing the tape on the platform and cleaning out the extruder's motor. (last week the motherboard blew, but they immediately shipped me a new one free of charge, and now I'm running again).
OK so let me get this right - you have right angle cables and you'd like something to snap onto the phone to essentially cover both cables so it is
a) more comfortable to hold in landscape
b) protects the jacks from damage
is that about right? or do you want it to snap onto the cables themselves

Yes I can print most things, even if there's an overhang (it just requires wasting plastic to print support material). Creating a design is pretty easy in Google's (actually Trimble just bought it) free program Sketchup. You can send me the file or an STL exported from any other 3d modeling software.

What kind of docking station? Power only? HDMI too? Landscape? Vertical? How many folks would also be interested?

I got the Makerbot Replicator for the customer support. With relatively premature technology, I think it's worth it to spend a few bucks extra to get awesome support. They answer requests on weekends and will replace any broken parts promptly & free of charge.
However, I would probably try out the Solidoodle, as it is super cheap and looks good. I do feel bad supporting the company as the founder used to work at Makerbot and literally just stole their business model.

Thanks man. You must have seen my other post where I hacked my phone previously for wireless charging?
Not really sure I see the value to it being wireless charging if it's gonna stay stationary in a navigation dock, though? Would it be for device flexibility (so I wouldn't have to redesign it when I get a new phone)?
I'd like a dock that accepts the phone in a case and also works in landscape

Actually didnt know about your previous mod lol.
Was more or less just thinkin aloud (or in text i should say) about a type of of car dock Id like to see for this and future devices. Im a little tired of buying 2-3 new docks (home, car, office) everytime I get a new phone in all honesty.
Would love for a slim universal car dock with inductive charging. Cable can be pulled from the inductive charging pad/touchstone for devices that require being physically plugged in. Makes things simple. Just get in the car, put the device in the dock quickly without worrying about fumbling wires or which side is your port on etc. When you get out just grab the phone. no worrying about wires, bending the usb connector cause you pulled at a wierd angle etc. you know?
Just figured the touchstone + mod would be a nice cheap base to start with for concepting over a $100ish inductive pad. Maybe even stick a laminated rewritable nfc tag in the center with a nice logo on it to program for carmode/ nav/ music or whatever as soon as you dock it. Maybe even make the dock itself detachable and usable as a desktop dock aswell... Ok ok lemme pause my brain for a lil while. I can keep going on and on about this stuff... lol
I am a mechanical engineer and do alot of 3D work in solidworks. I can sketch things up in 3D if people have an idea.
Could the OP use solidworks or step files to automatically print these? I would really like it to design docks and stand if I know the gap margibs from this markerbot

I have an idea for a case for the sgh-i747. Just a simple 2 piece snap together case. Nothing fancy. Would be nice to see how that material holds up to some of the others I have.
I guess any clamshell style case would work as a template if you could do that and send it it to OP. I have looked for 3d dimensions for them and can't find anything for it.
Thank you

Could you post some links or pics, in private or here of what you mean with clammshell? Dimensions i will get from my own device.

Think you could make a stand for me? I just need one that my phone could sit horizontally, and I'd just plug it in to my MHL adapter. How much would that cost?
