Nice find! I'll be interested in the build quality for $29.99 but it's exactly what a lot of us are looking for.

The quality of the plastic based on those pics makes it look like something you'd see on cellphoneshop.net for $5.
I would pay slightly more for a quality dock using the connector pins that has some weight to it, maybe even a metal base. Unfortunately nothing like that is out and I need a dock ASAP, so they'll get my $30
That's cool - too bad it has a bright blue LED to light up the bedroom at night

My point was that the designer of this put little thought into the use of the product. I have enough "night lights" in my bedroom as it is.
Too bad it will not work for me. I will not remove my TPU case nightly to use this. I wish somebody would come out with a doc that has few inserts (similar to apple docs) so phones with or without cases would fit. I would buy 2 of them if that was to happen. One at work and one for home.
I can't believe you can get this phone for 29 bucks with a new contract in some places, then have to pay 30$ for (what looks to be) a cheap piece of junk like this.
Anyone know of a good one? Just started road biking and I'd like to be able to have my GPS and Pandora and stuff within view. Can anyone suggest a good one?
Thanks.

It probably wouldn't be that hard to make one, just do a google search on homemade holders or see what others say on google, heres a good start

P.S I may buy sumthing like this also, thanks for the idea
i like that sealed waterproof one but when i got to the ultimate addons website i cant find it anywhere. actually i dont see any cell phone cases at all
A belt holster is under $10 on ebay or Amazon. Zip tie to your handlebars or neck.
Found this on a deals type website I often visit. It says its compatible with the Mytouch 4G. I cant comment on it personally though... Hope its still in stock by the time you see this message lol.

With such good video, I'm really keen to get a tripod, or at least a tripod adapter.
Can anyone recommend something? I realize an 'official' tripod is probably not on the cards, but maybe a 'generic' model you can recommend?
Thank you!
http://joby.com/gorillamobile/original/
That's exactly what I was looking for! Thank you so much!
Is that confirmed working? I ask because to me the textured back on the SGSII seems like it would be a problem for a suction cup.
Anybody got a tripod solution that is working? I really need an accessory for this, and all the ones I see on Ebay and similar only work to the width of 62mm.
I know I'm pimping it everywhere at the moment, but I'm really impressed with my Breffo SpiderPodium. Would work quite well as a tripod, I'd have thought,
Thanks, to be honest I was looking at it for just that purpose last night... hmmn, could be doable.
Unfortunately the Joby model is not avail in the UK - and buying it from the US would be a 12 quid shipping fee... on something that already cost 25 quids.
So I'm back to square one...
I need this aswell, but still couldn't find a good one. If I want to buy the joby, which one should I buy? I've only seen those for iPhone. Seen the universal, but I don't think we can use it for SGS II.

It is available from various places, John Lewis being one. However, the cheapest I could find is £25 from the below link.

Sadly, no, they have various models, and this is the SLR model. The model for the SGS2 would be the mobile one with the suction cup and the two adhesive pads. While you can get a gorilla pod in the UK (amazon), the mobile kit doesn't seem to be available.
Hi everyone - I finally found that Joby Mobile in the UK. cost was only 11.99 inc delivery. I must say I took a gamble, because the site doesn't look very professional - it's http://www.7dayshop.com.
But they charged my card correctly and I received the tripod within the week, so all is well than ends well
Now the question is 'does it work' and the answer is a resounding 'yes!'. The suction cup takes time to get accustomed to but once you get the hang of it works perfectly. I'm using a rubber phone cover, so I guess this helps. If you don't have any luck with the suction cup, it also comes with adhesive pads (non marking) and finally it also comes with the standard camera attachment so you don't have to carry two tripods.
I must say for 11.99 I'm very pleased!
thanks for sharing your experience.. might get one as well
So I needed a better way to catch my Pokemon, so today I made this along with an OTG adapter all from parts. Enjoy.
Lol omg this is awesome!!

This is the most genius thing I have ever seen.

That looks heavy duty. Awesome work. Might have to try something similar.

I'm glad everyone likes it so much.
I would consider selling these but I would want to find a better mount first, something with a smaller base so it could be attached to an assortment of controllers (sixaxis, snes, n64, wii, etc.). If anyone has that sort of info I would like to see it.
I'd say it would be about $50 for labor and shipping excluding materials. It's not really worth it IMHO because it is easy enough to make with just a Dremel and a soldering iron (if you want to shorten the usb cable like I did).
Also some differences in a new version would be
1) Use a micro b connector straight out of the controller (rather than go full sized usb down to micro b which is pretty bulky) and make a custom cable for use with a laptop/360.
2) Add charge port inline.
3) The area where the headset connects to the controller has a gap in the case due to the button head screw pushing it out. A smaller base would fix that.
4) I would like a mount specifically made for my Gnex just to make it look a bit cleaner.
That is pretty awesome.
do you have a link to the dock you used?
Sorry I don't I just happened to find it around the house. I am sure most of them will work exactly the same though.
Just looked into it. Apparently it is a generic brand, I found one on Walmart, looks identical to mine. Just put that at the end of the Walmart site to find it (to new to post links sorry).

That is freakin epic
WTF that is amazing. Wow.
This is really amazing. I'd like to reserve one to order when you've got the details worked out.
Awesome!!!!
Greets!
For those wondering about price here it is. Unfortunately the cost got pretty high as I was sorting out the parts list
One of them is an OEM Microsoft controller and a MUCH nicer mount.
The other is a knock off 360 controller with the same mount I have on this version.
Unfortunately the cost is pretty high since they are hand made. About $60 for the cheap one and $90 for the high end one plus shipping.
How about if you didn't include the cost of a controller presuming its not permanently attached and we use one at home?

I had just been getting a lot of PMs about pricing so I wanted to clear it up.
Instead of permanently mounting the controller, how about designing a suction mount or a clip-on mount? That way people can use whatever controller they like and it won't be included in the costs.
I checked the Google Play store and the car dock says it's "coming soon." Does anyone know when it will be back or where I could buy one? I've checked Ebay, Amazon, and anywhere else I could think of. Thanks.
I would also like to know this...
Anyone that has gotten one... are you happy with it? Was it worth the $54?
I just spent 1 hour and 11 minutes on hold with Google to find out nothing. When I asked if was eventually going to be available he said it should be... very reassuring. He did say if it was discontinued that it would not be on the store - so here is hoping.
:highfive:
In stock
Check the play store now. I'ts listed as in stock.
Here's a site I haven't tried personally yet but intend to very soon.

From what reviews I have scoured off the internet the company looks legit, but do your own research. As far as I can tell this is the pogo pin version as well. If you cheap out on the shipping(what I intend to do). It goes for about $70 total.

No reason to go there when you can get the one right from the playstore for a total $68 After taxes and 2 day shipping.
I went to checkout but then didn't proceed because it came to $68.....tax and shipping kills it for me.

It's the best you can get, but it needs a few tweaks otherwise it is rubbish. First you must cut away the rim of the dock for the volume and power buttons.They forgot to cut out recesses for these buttons. It is rubber material and is very easy to cut with a sharp knife.
I also bought a right angled micro usb cable as I didn't want a big lead sticking out from my dock. I then tucked it in the car trim out of sight before into the cigarette charger.
Wow they do kinda sock it to you with taxes and shipping but that did not stop me. Should see it in about 2 days.
:victory:
I can't decide on the official GSM Car Dock for $68 or Verizon Dock + NFC tag for $35.
Are those pogo pins really worth it?
