Has anyone used this product.
I am thinking of getting this product (just the case version), I am wondering if it will still work if I slap a TPU case on top of it.
Any kind of feedback would help. Thanx.
if you're going to spend that much money, why not just do either the palm touchstone mod or get the qi wireless receiver and transmitter instead? they'll end up cheaper and in the qi case, it'll be reuseable for future products that uses qi standards..
EDIT: You probably wont be able to add a case of your choice on it as well since the size will be very different from the original s3 size.

I like the option of just getting into my car and placing the phone on a the dock. It immediately holds it and also charges it. No messing with wires and a dock holder. I thought I will take it one step further and put a TecTiles on it, so it can start my bluetooth connectivity and other options. All this would be one step.
It also come with a case version, which I am probably going to get. Just did not want to add bulk.
if it works it works, but you will be stuck using it with only their product line and no one else's.
It's up to you though.. i'd rather get a universal option rather than something that is limited to one company only. (I can use chargers from nokia, energizer, oregon scientific, etc while you're going to have to buy from magnetyze) Also to note, once you change your phone, you would have to wait and see if they'll create a case/backing for your next phone if you want to continue using the set or you'll just have to ebay it off or toss it in the trash.
Well... i also don't trust magnets to hold my phone in place while i'm driving as well... I'd rather have a dock that grips it nice and tight rather than a magnet, but that's just me.

I just got mine yesterday. I'll try and get around to a full review within the next week.
Cliffs: Charges well. Holds device well. Will not work with a case. Looks and feels to be nice quality. Mine won't sync the phone.

The back cover. No car mount. I couldn't find it listed on their site. I don't think I'd trust a magnet holding my phone in the car.

I'd like something that would clamp on to my dash wall. Think cop car laptop.
I like this idea, I would especially love if these guys would drill holes for the camera....augmented relaity navagation has already come to Rt. 66, just a metter of time before it comes to Android. Have you seen an ipad mount reviews?
i work for a company who makes high end video products for the automotive world. We we're looking at making something for my XOOM today but in the sun...the XOOM screen is just very big which causes a lot of glare and with the sun hitting it at angles we couldn't see the screen very well.
Going to give it a shot anyways...we'll see.
The glare is an excellent point.
Looks awesome! Let us know how it goes when you get it. However, in CA, I think there is a law against operating a screen like this in the front of a car. If it actually got mounted, we would probably get fined for it unless we could work a GPS angle or something.
My car's windshield isn't big enough to mount a tablet to it....
This might not only be illegal, its likely very dangerous because of how much of your field of view it blocks.

Was thinking about replacing my old car dvd player for the kids with the xoom, mounted to the headrest. There's one on Amazon, I'm too new to post links.
Would definitely need an anti-glare screen protector though
Sent from my Xoom using XDA App
I don't think the glare would be any worse than my Droid X. I have learned how to angel it for best results. I have also held the Xoom up to see where it would work best and only block a view of the top of the dash (don't look much at that anyway ) I would only use it for longer trips and in the motor home anyway. The Droid, in it's dock, works fine for local destinations.
Isnt it alittle bulky to put on a dash?
This is the only way I see Xoom in my car:

no offense but putting the xoom on the windshield is the dumbest thing i've ever seen.
other than the glare issue, i think a car mount solution could work for certain cars. definitely not a windsheield mount though. it would have to be a variation on the Proclip style thing that is specifically designed for your car and specifically designed for the xoom (i have one of these for my galaxy s, and it is absolutely hands down the best car dock ever).
one of the downsides of living in an apartment is i cant weld something like this out of sheet metal as i would have in my old place... on the upside it probably saves me from higher insurance fees from the inevitable car crash that would result from having such a setup in my car.
http://www.amazon.com/RAM-Mounting-RAM-B-316-1-AP8-Non-Locking-Universal/dp/B0042HLMYK
This is one of the ones that I want. They just need to make it for the Xoom...you could probably buy the one in the OP and this mount and piece them together just fine. This would put it in an area like a cop would use their laptops for.
thought I'd revive this thread
Has any of you early adapters ordered a car mount yet? I would love to do that in the near future (including a car charger) but I don't know what to get. It would be great if it didn't cost $50+ though. Main use would be navigation.

I'm planning on installing the standard dock underneath my HU. The dock has an integrated power and aux out so it perfect for this application. The only problem is it will block the IR (not to mention all the controls) of my HU so ill need to hard wire my HUs remote to the IR... but I thinks it worth it. Best carputer you can have on your dash right now, and you can take it with you when you are not in your car!

Looks pretty good and has room to charge another battery while your phone is docked and charging.

Hm.. nice find. That is tempting. I wish it was a bit cheaper.
I'll probably pick one up anyways to use at work. Looks like it won't fit a tbolt with a case.

Yeah looks like the TB will have to be naked to fit in this dock. Please post your review as soon as you get it.
If you wait a bit, I'm certain you'll be able to find it cheaper on ebay. You should start seeing other chineese companies selling them for much less, but shipped from China (slower to get here though).
I have the Incredible dock that is similar, and hacked it up to hold the phone with a case on it (doesn't look pretty, but it DOES work).
yep i bought one from amazon...listed that its for the merge but it fits....its tight but it fits...also it has to be naked..which sucks, but the for the price its a good deal

I had that problem on my charger for the DInc, and it ended up the actual USB plug housing had split apart, and the plug was sliding back into the housing. I ended up fixing it (mine came from china, so no recourse there), and it still works fine. Just curious if that was the problem with your unit or not.
Also looks like you can get it cheaper on ebay now. As with anything from China, you take a gamble on quality... I might pick one up and see if it works with my pop case, although the USB header might be a tad too short to reach and some plastic will definitely have to be shaved off to get it to fit the back.
Anyone find a charger without the big extra battery back?

Yes, it has to be naked in order to fit into the dock.
I have 23 of these in stock... tested one and it works great.
Any questions let me know.
I ordered one too - figured not too big of a risk for that $$ and my TB will be staying naked anyway. $25 shipped on Ebay vs $60(!) for the official one.
Edit:
Funny, as soon as I posted this, the dock arrived - FAST shipping! The dock is not bad, works fine. The only complaint I have is that the phone is held almost completely vertical, no angle at all really. So that makes it a little awkward for watching video but not too bad. Charges fine, USB works fine, insertion and removal is easy. As stated before, you cannot use a case with this dock, it is a snug fit. Slot on the back for charging a second battery.
Time will tell with the durability, but it serves my needs well - easy place to plug in and charge at my office desk. Recommended especially considering the price. If the HTC dock has HDMI (I doubt it) then maybe it will be worth $60. In the meantime this is shipping and shipping fast!
I'd buy one of these if the extended battery would fit on the dock :/

I ordered one as well, and your complaint is the same as mine...
The phone is almost vertical when docked.
I will not be using it.
In fact if anyone wants it, I'd sell it for 20 bucks shipped (US only).
FWIW Newegg has them for $28, but they are out of stock right now....
Dock
Just thought I'd share this. It was so easy. I couldn't stand how using the holder as it comes because it was always in my direct line of sight while driving. Its kinda dangerous to have something block that much of my view. So what I did was take the tab holder and took off the pivit part of it, slid it into the car holder I had for my phone and it fit almost perfect. It clips into the heater/AC vents.
I'll get all the info on it later tonight when I get home.

Yes it is. Combined with a phone holder that I bought a while back from Walmart for around $20. Sorry guys. Got busy. For sure tonight with details and a video.
Hello...i am looking to buy this one...could u please post some pics and may be a video?
Neat idea. This would be great if the tab was a 3g and you get a good GPS app. Or I suppose tethering your tab to your phone to use for gps. With a nice big screen to look at, it could make things convenient.
I'm desperate to find something like this, can you give detailed instructions for how you did that?

I wouldn't recommend the dock as a stand-in dock, where you plug it in on the go, or quickly. The phone is only supported by the actual USB plug! So I'd be REALLY worried about the port getting loose over time, so I'd skip that. I had that happen to my SGSII. But on the other hand, you can lay it down and it was made for this, too! So there is no need to worry about the usb plug getting loose. I really like it for this. Just look at the last 2 pictures.
I hope you like it! It's a decent dock, I guess. It's more of a stand now. Haha.

Am tempted by this dock... but don't understand what you're saying here. I mean... in the images it looks like there's a rear-support for the phone to lean against. Do you have to faff with this or something, or does it remain up, so you can just drop the phone on and have it lean?
Alternatively, does anybody have suggestions for docks that work with cases? I got the iGadgitz case (link), which I'm totally pleased with... it doesn't turn your pockets inside-out when pulling it out.

Tap it to the right or to the left, and it'll put some kind of strain on the phone's port. That's what I don't like. I have a dock that DOES support the sides, and still ended up busting the port. I don't use the inbuilt charging feature. I just put it in the landscape orientation and use a normal microusb, and that also allows me to grab my phone while I'm waking up in the morning and unplug it correctly.

Ah, gotya. Yeah, my Streak sits in landscape, with a fat connector, so never realised the difference with the Note and a tiny connection.
And bugger... your port has already been wrecked? So it's a real issue. Bah.
Mmm... not exactly swamped with options that allow for cases though, but don't think I can risk it since I've gotta stick with this baby for 23.75 months yet
That said, this thing does last an entire day, unlike my Streak... so maybe I'll just get a spider-holder or something without charge/usb.
I use the dock daily. I just don't use the built in charger. I turn it on its side and use the regular charger. I think the angle's great.
But this does make me miss the blackberry dock. Blackberry's have metal connectors ONLY for docks that will never mess with any ports . Fantastic idea in my opinion. Oh well. This is a monster of a phone! hehe. Sold my 9900 for it
Awesome.
Thanks for the info, I've gone a head and ordered one.
I guess it'll be safe on my desk, as the odds on knocking it are near zero. As an alarm clock though, I totally get you... I'd wreck it in a single day.
Ah, charging all day at work... I'll probably save a million* in electric bills.
*Ok, maybe $0.01 per month, lol.
been working on this for awhile. this is my render of the part.

and this is a simplified prototype to test fitment and other things.
it fits the GSM and LTE Nexus with a case on it. the touchstone goodies are inbetween the case and the phone itself. opening the phone was unnecessary.
right now the phone is a bit of a tight fit. need to get that sorted out and try again in a few days. also need to verify the touchstone will work with the gap i gave it. (.050ish)
look forward to hearing any comments you guys have.
looks awesome!

Only issue I see with this is that the placement off the touchstone would have to line up exactly with where you place the coil.
From what I see it wouldn't work on mine since my coil is much higher to avoid interference with NFC...looks very promising though!

Pretty limiting in that you've blocked off the phone's speaker and the headphone jack. Sure, some people use bluetooth for everything - but some don't. Just some food for thought.
Looks cool. Any way you can share a cad file of this. I drew a few up myself and I'd like to compare dimensions.

Does the thickness of the material interfere with the cam at all? IIRC it has a pretty wide view. That said, dude, it has a hole for the camera, good stuff
Let's start from the top
Charging through the pogo pins. charging rate appears to be around 750Ma, or around 40% an hour. It was good enough to keep my phone charged while tethered streaming a movie. So its good enough for me.
I realize I didn't leave any provisions for the internal mics or speakers to do their thing. Much less room for the headphone and USB port. I'm only making a few of these for me and some friends willing to conform to my apple-esque control over how their phone is setup.
The NFC works fine, planning on using an NFC tag to launch the car dock.
Not sure about the camera, I should check that...
T-Keith, PM me your email and I'll try and send you some files when I get it to a point where I'm happy (it fits kinda tight right now)
Thanks for all the kind words, I'll get some nicer photos up soon.
Thats just good stuff - would love to see this extended to a home landscape dock.
I'm confused about how/what is holding the phone in the dock.
looks awesome. You could start a Kickstarter to get funding. I want one!
Definitely looks promising. Great inspiration, I might see what I can come up with if I have some free time. This is just begging for some rapid prototyping fun.
I'd also love to take a look at your files. Great work.

Agreed! If you post up the cad files when you're done I can probably whip one up in my company's makerbot. I can try and figure out the cost and go from there. This is an AWESOME project!
Question.
If you've modded your case so you can charge using a Touchstone, haven't you already got magnets in there to hold the handset in place when using the Touchstone?
If so, then what does the plastic bit achieve?
I'm not trying to criticise, I'm just confused is all.
Did you ever make more progress on this? I use a touchstone in my car now but something to keep the phone a bit more secure would be awesome!

Most people are afraid to use JUST a touchstone in their car because if you hit a big bump then your phone could go flying. This is EXACTLY what I was looking to do, integrate a touchstone into a regular car dock so that you can just drop it in for wireless charge and not worry about your phone launching across the car when you make a quick turn. I think I'm going to try to modify an already made dock to fit the touchstone as the back plate, as I don't have access to a CNC machine or a 3D printer =(
EDIT: Sorry if it's a bit off topic, but I found a dock that looks like it'd be perfect to cut out the back and integrate a touchstone. What do you guys think?
