I bought my GameKlip Mount from Dhgate.com because it was the most affordable option for me ($10). It doesn't come with the micro usb male cable so I purchased from eBay($2). The official Gameklip site didn't release a new case for Nexus 7 (2nd) gen model so I went ahead and bought a hard case from eBay. There is a soft silicon case alternative that costs a bit more than the hard. Everything costs pretty much under $20 which is a great bargain. Shipping takes awhile. The downside is waiting for everything to come.
Have any pictures? How does it feel in the hand?
Just FYI, the PS3 controller you linked to is counterfeit and I don't know how good those are in terms of quality compared to an official one.
If you live in america you should be able to find an official one at a decent price the next few days due to Black Friday sales and the release of the PS4 pushing prices down.
The gameklip is pretty neat. Hopefully they can release something similar for the PS4 controller soon.

Exactly why I buy quality reputable items from reputable sources instead of searching for the cheap bargain. Wasted time is also money in my book.

It works? Fit the GameKlip with the Nexus 7?
Gesendet von meinem Nexus 4 mit Tapatalk
gameklip works awesome with both the 2012 and 2013 N7. Not sure why he hasn't sourced a 2013 N7 case yet.... I got mine from mobilefun in the UK... took a couple weeks to make its way to me but works well... very similar to the one that Gameklip bundles for 2012.
Has anyone ordered from DHgate or Aliexpress before? I only want to buy one and I'm not sure if there's a minimum order etc?
Other options are too expensive to post to the UK!
so there are 3 things at play here:
1 -- the gameklip itself -- you're only going to find it in one place. Do the poor bloke a favor who designed and drove it to market and buy it from him.
2 -- cases for the 2013 N7 -- mobilefun is a UK company -- need a spoon too?
https://www.mobilefun.com/40828-tou...hell-case-for-google-nexus-7-2013---black.htm
3 -- as of others have said buying anything other than a legit PS3 controller is hit or miss. it took myself a bad china order before I finally broke down and bought a real one.

Need a spoon? Read my question properly!
The original poster has links for the Gameklip on sale at DHgate anbd ALiexpress. I'm asking who has had good experiences from either DHgate or Aliexpress?
I understand exactly how it works, I already own a N7 2013 shell and a PS3 controller, I'm looking for the cheapest place to buy a Gameklip..
Again I would only buy a gameklip from gameklip... Going the China route you are screwing the guy that took the time to bring it to market.

Dont forget the Limelight app so that you can stream all of your Steam games to your Nexus 7. It works RIDICULOUSLY well. You do need a relatively new Nvidia GPU in your desktop and it certainly helps not to have a garbage wifi router, but if you pass that pretty low bar than its gaming nirvana.

19.95 + 14.30 (shipping) to get to me? 40+ bucks? That 10 bucks with free shipping from china is looking pretty tempting if you ask me, specially if I don't live anywhere near the US..
Don't get me wrong though, I love to support people and their products if I like them. I've bought stuff from the US and had it shipped here, but most of it are electronics though..
If you want to support outright piracy that is your call... You won't be the first and certainly not the last.

You'll be happy to know then (I hope) that I've found a seller locally (2nd hand but still)
A bit overpriced at 75+ bucks (coz he included an original dualshock 3 controller, but I think he's making up for the delivery of the gameklip), I'm negotiating getting the gameklip only as I know a friend who's selling two original dualshock 3s for 30 bucks (coz he's bought a ps4)
You guys can save yourself a lot of money if you root and use the SixAxis app in the playstore. The app lets you pair an existing PS3 controller via bluetooth and only costs $2.53.

I have the WiFi xoom. Today I went to the Verizon store to get a charger for my xoom and the camera connectivity cable (USB Host Cable). The guy kept trying to sell me a usb charger and swore it would work. He also couldn't find the cable in the system because it wasn't listed as an official xoom accessory in the verizon system. After I laughed derisively at him I went to best buy where they had an endcap of 6 xoom accessories. The cable I was looking for (now only 19.99, heck yeah), the dock (49.99, much better), keyboard 2 cases and a screen protector.
OK so six isn't a lot of accessories but since six is greater than zero best buy sadly won my business. Plus the verizon rep there actually knew **** about the xoom (if they know what rooting is you are talking to the right guy).
So my question is, to avoid all this nonsense in the future, where do you all go or buy from (if online)?
Try eBay and Amazon that charger at best buy I got for 28.00 new. The gel case I got for 6 new and got a knockoff stand case leather for 15 and it works great.

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).

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?
Sent from my Galaxy Nexus using Tapatalk
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.
For those that want a dock, or just the piece that pops into the front of the HDMI dock (for the GT7). Literally sold my GT10 yesterday; I'd buy one right now just for the plastic piece.

LOOOL. HHgreg is legit. xD :good:
my local store had two of them. bought them both. still need one more. the guys at the counter were annoyed that they had no idea of the price. so i feel kinda lucky they were there.
the downside... there is no charger. so they expect me to use the short three foot cord that came with the tab. that thing barely reaches from the plug straight up on a table.
anyone know the difference between the multimedia Desktop Dock in the OP with (Model: D1B1BEGXAR)) versus the this one (Model: EDD-D1B1BEGSTA) sold on amazon. They both seem to be for Samsung galaxy tab 10.1 original. I remember the Original galaxy 10.1 was thicker before the US version of the 10.1 came out. no way of telling if this is the case here.
I missed out on this awesome deal. No longer available in my area nor am I able to order online and ship to Washington DC.seems to be sold out or in-store only if available.
Thanks,
Nice deal but how about shipping to germany... ?
anyone know if i can get this one to africa ?
This is great, its only $3.82 now w/o shipping! I bought the media adapter from the original tab 7, which had hdmi, was just proping up the tab 10.1 with a piece of wood behind it, now I can buy this and just use the plastic base piece keyboard is also on sale 17.47, in case any one is interested

just picked mine up in store, apparently they dont ship the dock, you have to do in store pickup. the guy at the store told me it was being discontinued, and I got 1 of the only 2 they had. I also picked up the SD adapter for the tab(official samsumg adapter) for $8.37. I had previously bought a cheap chinese 2 in 1 usb/sdcard adapter, its very ****ty and you have to hold it an exact angle, and not move the device, otherwise you a disconnect...

Thank you, really cheap prices a little worried
While looking for a desk dock I found this one from Samsung:
http://www.samsung.com/us/mobile/galaxy-tab-accessories/EDD-D100BEGXAR-gallery
Looks like it does come with a separate power adapter, which is nice. Amazon doesn't sell that one yet though.
I was thinking about getting this stand instead:
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000CKVOOY/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&smid=ATVPDKIKX0DER
Should be compatible with Note 10.1 I take it. $10 is hard to pass up on too.
Do you guys like powered desk docks or stands better? Thanks.
The EDD-D100 does not come with a new power adapter. You have to use the power adapter and cable that came with the Note 10.1. The EDD-D100 package contains only the dock itself.
The dock should be widely available as it was sold for the older Tabs already.
Thanks for clarifying that. Odd, can't seem to find it on Amazon.
Yes, that's strange. Amazon.de (Germany) has it, Amazon.com not.

Been using Arkon for a couple of days now. Sticky padding that tab rests on started peeling off. Probably gonna send it back.
Also got Samsung's dock but haven't opened it yet. Just thinking it might not be convenient using it as a main dock due to that connector. So, I think I'll keep looking.
Just buy some padding and replace it.

Looks like iOttie is taking reservations for their Qi car mount. Spoiler alert: It's $80.
http://www.iottie.com/Product/ProductDetail.aspx?ProductID=1058&ProductType=321
I was hoping for a $40-50 price point. So, yeah, I'm a little disappointed.
Yeah $80 is way too high especially when you can get more "Premium" Chinese Qi Car docks for about $45. I figured the price was going to be more than we requested when the "Rep" that had the iOttie post suddenly went silent. $50 was just the high end of Purchasable range. $80 is high even if there were NO other options on the market. Heck the OwlPad sold for LESS than that much when it came out...over a year ago. So yeah makes me feel the company is trying to fleece the N5 owners.
Hey guys,
We did not go quiet on the postings - we were just advised from XDA moderators that that kind of posting is not permitted within the forums.
We do appreciate the constructive feedback with regards to our product & pricing. We will pass that information onto our management team for more detailed review.
I would buy it for around $40-50 but definitely not at $80.
80? This is why I've refused to buy the tylt vu. I have zero problem shelling out cash for accessories but that's ridiculous.

80? Probably cost 15 to make at those quantities. I'll pass, thanks.
the air dock is better than this, and it costs less at $69, but even that's still way too expensive for this kind of thing. $80 is just ridiculous.

Other than the Air Dock which was a Kickstarter but now goes for $69 now and the OwlPad which has been out for OVER a year which sells for $57. There are others on Amazon and Aliexpress from $35-50 depending on quality. $80 for a plain old QI charger is just over priced. For $69 at least the Airdock has the Magnets for the N5 included in the design.
One thing to consider with a wireless charger dock for the car is how much flexibility in positioning it offers, cause most of the time, you'll probably need to put it where it can get some direct air conditioning. This Easy Flex Wireless, if it's like the Easy Flex 3, can be rotated 360° and put the phone hanging in front of the vents of my car.
Does anyone know if this will work with case on. I would get it but I wanna know if can have a case on my nexus and it will still work. If you know the answer please let me know. Thanks

It does, like any other Qi charger. IIRC Qi can do something like half an inch distance. In any case, it should be fine for any cases that are not battery cases or metal ones.
Not bad, but bouncy....
I pre-prdered this dock using the Facebook coupon, and it arrived over the weekend. I tried it out in the hopes that it would not exhibit the bounciness that the other wireless charging dock I ordered had.
I used my phone, both with and without it's TPU case (my phone is an LG G2) in this dock and on all but the smoothest of roads (I live in Michigan, so "smooth road" is almost an oxymoron) the bounce is very noticeable. There is just too much flex in the arm of the dock.
I have written to them via their facebook page in hopes that I receive a reply and hopefully a solution.
The pricing is now $69.95 on amazon
