This appears to be an OEM version of the official HDMI charging dock. Doesn't come with cables. Uses a standard HDMI cable. Beats the $45 retail price. Perfect timing for full HDMI capabilities.

EDIT: Looks like the seller jacked the price up by $5. But there's still the option to make an offer. Some have mentioned getting it as low as $15. When I first posted this and ordered mine, best offer was not an option.
EDIT: Now up to $40 You can still try to make an offer. According to others he has accepted as low as $15.
Bought one of those a few weeks ago - doesn't include the micro-USB or micro-HDMI cable but it's an awesome dock. (Monoprice.com has the cables for a few bucks)
Big recommendation for this dock.
$20? Dock? HDMI? SOLD!
Anyone know if this will fit an Evo with an extended battery?

No, it specifically says it won't in the auction description.
Nice find! Ordering mine now.
Great find, thank you.
I got this in the mail today. It's definitely the HTC brand. Very high quality. It rests in the dock very snug. You can operate the touchscreen with one finger easily without pushing it over.
Sweet deal, just ordered one.
Just got this for $15 through best offer. Have not even received my Evo and ordering accessories already.
Anyone know though if the phone fits in this with a case like the Innocase or Barely-There case?

No, I really don't think any case will. There is absolutely no extra space in the cut-out for the phone when it is in the dock.
Not a bad price at all. I already have a dock for charging, and I have an HDMI cable for watching movies. I just dont see the benefit of this. I'll just keep my phone laying on its back while I'm watching movies instead of sitting in this dock.... and spend my $20 elsewhere
I'd be all over it if it fit with the platinum case. Don't see the point in removing the case just to dock.
thank you for the tip
Picked one of these up. It works for me because I have a bunch of cables hanging in front of my PC. Have the micro usb hooked to the PC for transferring files, a micro usb plugged into an outlet for faster charging, my micro hdmi cable to hook into my monitor and a mini usb for a camera. This dock eliminates two hanging wires and replaces them with a pretty cool dock =P
just got mine in the mail, perfect condition... and it is HTC oem... its great!!! need pics anyone?

Wow, that sucks. You might as well spend the extra $5 and get the retail version that comes with cables. Of course, I would still try using the make an offer option if anyone wants one.

Just threw the guy a $15 offer...lets see if hes still willing to go that low
It's on the clearance rack in the 28th St, Grand Rapids, MI store. There was one left after I got mine. Somebody might find this useful...

Good Luck
I'd post a pic of the receipt but it got soaked on the condensation from my lemonade bottle. BTW, Simply Lemonade is also on sale.
How do you find the case? I've been lusting over this and $10 is so ridiculously cheap! I live in Australia and I can't find any of these here. It's $40 on Amazon, but they won't ship here. Even if they did, the shipping would probably cost more than the case itself
Unfortunately, the deal is very YMMV as I can only confirm it to be working at one specific Target retail store. Regarding the case itself, I find it slightly underwhelming as I must undo the Velcro flap in order to use it with my docks (even after swapping for the case adapter). My concern is that by opening the flap so frequently (3-4 times per day) it will wear out.
For US$10-$20, it might be worthwhile but it lacks a closure and it is not not dock-friendly so I would not recommend it for above US$20.
EDIT: The case also lacks 2 articulation points shown in the photos. If it was really capable of all of those different bends, it would never be able to hold the Xoom up.
Went to one of my local Target stores and it was regular price still.
how does it hold the zoom in? it looks like a glove frame holds the xoom in.
It has a Velcro flap that covers the bottom. It has cut touts for all of the connectors but it adds too much thickness to use it with the cradles (even with the case adapter) unless you open the flap.
This video shows the flap: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=etm0UFI5Dj8
I got mine for $7.48, which just means the one i purchased had been on clearance longer at that particular store.
I'm finding I like this case enough that I should have bought both that my store had so I could have a spare when I wear this one out.

Hey guys,
I got the tab at i/o and I've been waiting for months to get some accessories. Now it's finally available in Canada and I still can't seem to find any. The source has the book cover case for $65 but that's it. Does samsung sell them? I can't find any way to buy them from their site.
Maybe if best buy ever gets this thing in stock, they'll carry some accessories..
Thanks,
Sam
I haven't been able to find any either. I'm thinking I will prob buy online.
I haven't been able to find any accessories in Canada either. I ended up getting one of those slim TPU cases online through eBay, and a 10" netbook sleeve makes a great carry case I found
I think ebay is your best bet. I was forced to by the book case from the Source yesterday but didn't want to wait 2 weeks for it to be shipped from the UK.
I also bought the Samsung case from the source yesterday. At first I hesitated because it was so expenice, $73 with tax. But I'm glad I got it, as I really like the case. It was the thinnest case I've ever owned, after using many for my ipad.
The material also seems very durable, and does NOT show any finger grease! So no cleaning is required. Also I love the "4 clip at the corners" design. It doesn't cover any basel and I can clip my GT "upside down", which I am currently doing to also better access to the buttons. (I will never use the rear camera so don't care that its covered).
expansys.ca
Has all you need. Cables, adaptors, docks and cases.
also, the source has the book case for $54 right now, i bought it. So thin and light it barely adds to the tablet.

Nooo, don't order from expansys! They list items in stock and once you proceed through their checkout the item then shows out of stock. Google their reviews and judge for yourself. I was going to buy my tablet from them. Their website said IN STOCK (more than 100) and as soon as I placed my order it showed out of stock. I cancelled my order then.

The samsung case is nice, but sometimes you need to clip it in upside down if you want to use the low angle position (where the flap fits in that groove). Quite a few apps that require landscape mode will not run upside down - so if you don't flip the tablet, your view is upside down. Using the camera is also a HUGE pain with this case. Really, this should be priced at $30, not at an overpriced $65. I still like the case and it's thinness is very nice.
I really want the usb connection kit now...

I hate the source. How can they not automatically adjust the price when the sale is not their own flyer!!! To make it worse, I realized that the sale is not for all stores. Depending on which store your select when you lookup the online flyer, that last page of the flyer may or may not have the $10 off section. Wired, huh?
Luckily, the store where I bought it from did have the sale. I did have to drive back there, and get them to look up their own flyer to give me the $10 refund. The saleperson had no idea what's going on. I wouldn't say she was particularly nice during the process.
The only other store in town that still have stock for the book case was NOT part of the sale. If I pick their store when looking up the online flyer, that bottom section disappeared from the flyer on p. 18.
Once again, I hate the source. Stupidest way of handling their own sale. The whole process felt like I'm getting their to price match a competitor's flyer.

Yes, if you want to spend $40 on the back, and another $47 on the Energizer charging station, and have a phone that is thicker and heavier. That's a very good solution to save five or ten minutes! That's assuming you can even find one!

Couldn't you do these mods and sell them for profit?
I'd rather pay an extra 20-30 bucks on top all other costs than do it myself. Though it would have to be a solid build, not something put together with a car kit.

I could, but it's not worth it to me, and it's really pretty easy (and fun). Also, the battery cover is not so cheap, so by the time you added up all costs, and made a decent profit, the kit would cost $50-$60! (And people are doing it on Ebay already!)

Car kit was meant to be duct tape. I have no idea what I was thinking about at the moment.
But yeah. I'll check ebay and probably buy one if it was that cheap (relatively speaking - 90 bucks from verizon and it looks like ass).

thats what I bought (or one like it same pictures same price)
Grr its from china of course Grrr have to wait. already got the touch stone. MAN that is an insanely tiny cavity the stinking usb cable has to fit in. samsung charger cables should fit fine though they are nice and skinny.
I will report back with results once I get it AND report just how "thick" a case will work with the touch stone. I don't care if the magnet holds or not (I will design a holder around it) just need it to charge through my hybrid case. fingers crossed
A few fine points

a couple of points:
1. The Samsung cable and charger probably WON'T work. The Touchstone is very picky about chargers and cables, I suggest just buying the Touchstone charger, they are about $4. See the link in my main post.
2. It works fine with my Rock Case, and also with a thicker TPU case. It may not work through a very thick hybrid case, although some have cut a hole in the inner silicone over the charging coil, and gotten it to work.
Let us know how it goes.
interesting. I have actually "stocked" up on oem samsung cables because they have proven SO reliable in working with "everything" same with KINDLE cables (but they cost 2.5 times as much but are VERY nice cables)
I won't use the stock charger I have 2amp chargers I use for all my usb stuff.
I will check the link for the OEM cable $4 is well worth it. I ordered a few cheap touch stones but ones that come with cables are MUCH more expensive
I will try it and see what happens. sadly between case and wireless charging case is more important to me (expensive phone) so fingers crossed
maybe I can "make do" with a thinner but still protective case most of the time and just use the hybrid when I am getting into "rough" activities we shall see.
while it won't work with my HYBRID cases that I use it will work with an otterbox. I could put the coil under the poly carb layer of the OTTER BOX case (I don't have an otter yet so not 100% sure of this) and then run that to contacts on the cover and THEN run contacts inside the cover to the phones contacts. that would move the coil right to thin case distance from the touch stone.
we shall see.

It should work fine, although you may have to wave the upper part of the back of your phone over the NFC tag, as the coil may block the lower part of the phone.
That's why I revised my instructions for my mod to move the coil lower on the phone, so that NFC would be less finicky.

Wow, no need to be a jerk. Some people don't want to lose NFC or compass. Also, some people would rather not tamper with their phones.
By the way, its not $40 and $47, its $20 for the back and $20 for the palm charger.

I got back cover from ebay for $29.99 + $5 for palm touchstone. My Galaxy s2 charger works perfectly for touchstone. If not, you can buy it for $4. Not bad for $35 - $40.

I wasn't being a jerk, but simply correcting your misinformation. NFC is not lost at all, nor is the compass function if you use the original Palm metal disks. And the cost of the Verizon back is $39 not $20. (See the link below.) Also, it is very hard to find, and isn't in stock online. Amazon lists the Energizer Qi for $47 unless you buy it from a dubious seller. By my math that's $86 total for a mod that costs less than $20 if you do it yourself. I completely understand your last point, which is that some people don't like DIY solutions, and if that's true, then it makes sense to go your way. Or if you have two SG3's, and want to use the same Qi pad.

Pins lined up well. However after putting the cover on, I noticed that the back of the phone is not flat. It has a slight curve in the middle which you can notice when you put the phone on a flat surface and it wobbles.
I also have a slight gap between phone and cover (on right hand side only). Because of the added mass of the charging circuit, the cover does not sit flush with phone. This doesn't bother me though as you'll only notice it if you look for it.

I just bought one at Walmart for like $38, but I'm taking it back. Didn't care for it too much, just my opinion. The phone fit well and it seems really protective, but i have to have something that slides in and out of my pocket easily for work, and it wasn't happening with this thing. I have a friend that just bought several cases at an at&t store for $5 apiece, originally $50 and more, might check there?

I really like my uag case, its slim, yet protective, although not as much as the bulkier cases. You should check out amazon.com.
