This cover exists! http://goo.gl/WwipqL (bottom of the link).
Who can track it down?
I think the genuine smart cover (which we can see on that screen and on IFA) is the Single-stage from VOIA. But that dock looks good too.
No, official case is not VOIA one. Offical case is :

Very expensive from now : 89000 won/84 dollars/61 euros/
http://www.techdatamall.co.kr/shop/goods/goods_view.php?goodsno=518&category=
But the VOIA one is the closest to the genuine. I'm wondering if there are any authorized LG-only shops, they could have that genuine LG case... could...

Agreed, why save $90-100 off the regular price of the tab this week, if you just tack it right back on with a case?!
Still, it DOES seem like a spiffy case. Am I right in that it's a two-part - you can take the cover part off if you wanted? The Cetizen page seems to indicate that you can!

There is now a pre-order case on Amazon for this tablet.
I just ordered mine last night for $279 on NewEgg w/a $30 coupon, so paid $249 out the door shipped.
Going to run the gamete of my usual app's on this and see if it bogs down like my GT 8.9" in my truck does.
If it doesn't then I will re-do my Dodge RAM tablet fabrication and this will be the one to use.
Any one know if that dock has an HDMI out, USB or Audio jack out port like the Galaxy Series usually have?
Looks like it's only a simple charging dock, as it's name says..
@1miracle2 , what case are you talking about - this one? Please post a link when you have a second, thanks!

I really don't understand why any company would invest $$ in a dock w/o it being a charging dock or a media pass-through etc...
I mean this is built/sized specifically for this tablet right?
Crazy right! Or is it just me?
Well, in practice a TV out dock should by default have a Slimport adapter as part of its kit; I haven't seen any dock for any tablet incorporate a Slimport into it, so they probably just don't want to do it or don't see a market for it.
That said, if this dock is really just a pass-through, in practice you SHOULD be able to plug a slimport adapter into the dock and do your TV out that way. So for those who do want one, they'll have that option. Personally, I'm getting this tablet because I want to do my work demos on it so I will be needing a Slimport adapter, but I'll also have a case which pretty much negates the usefulness of a dock.
Back to the case thread, the one you linked to is not an official case but one of the others which has the issue of blocking the speakers when in stand mode. I'm hoping the official case, or a knockoff close enough to it, shows up on eBay on the cheaper side in the next few weeks...

Oh yeah, I didn't even notice the speakers are blocked.
This will still work for me though, I don't use it much out of my truck, I just remove when I'm out of it! LOL!
My Galaxy 7" 2nd gen, 7.7", 8.9" & 10.1" 1rst gen all work with an official OEM dock that has audio out, mini HDMI out and 30 pin to USB connector.
There are cheap knock off's that don't have the mini HDMI out option.
With this I'm able to connect to another monitor if I wanted but more importantly 30pin connector to USB would allow me to connect to a HU.
Was looking for the genuine LG case as well, seems like its on sale in hong kong for $258 (around £20).
Good find Sckc. Crazy how resourceful this community is. Took me long time to find what l little info I did. Keep up the good work! 100 internet points to the first person who finds a way to buy one of the genuine covers right now

That's not the LG genuine cover. That's the VOIA "Premium Standing Case" mentioned in the second post. You can tell from the "for GPad 8.3" branding on it.

Not a clue as to why LG hasn't released their own official case a month after the tablet came out. It makes no sense at all.
The VOIA case looks nice, but I'm not a fan of how it stands up.

Hi There!
Has anyone got any experience with particular cradle/docks from Ebay?
Ideally I think I would like a horizontal dock, but can do portrait.
The "USB-Sync-Cradle-Dock-Charger-Samsung-i9100-Galaxy-S-2" on eBay. (Since I've posted so little, I'm not yet allowed to post links).
I bought one'o these. Don't expect much of it, but I think it'll do what it's supposed to. I just hope there's some anti-slip rubber feet on it, so the phone can be used while mounted. Droidstuff.se (swedish site) has a very nice, special made Android universal dock in black metal (which everybody knows us scandinavians are very good at! ). It's pretty expensive, though, and availability is scarce.
Here is the one I ordered: http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170633167683
I still haven't gotten it yet (even though I ordered nearly 2 weeks ago)... I will let you know what I think if / when I get it.
When it arrives, I'd be interested to know whether it looks like it'd work with a case on
ebay dock
I ordered that ebay dock, it came pretty quick, its ok for the money, it doesnt give a snug cutom fit but does just fine, i might actually order a sceond one as you can charge it from your pc/laptop or hook in a wall charger.
It look like theres enough room to work with a case but im not a big fan of cases so im unable to tell.

1 already bought this one, two days on ebay. I dont like it at all as the phone sites in it almost upright, there isnt enough of an angle on it to use the phone comfortably, the angle is just too steep.
If you don't mind the angle the build quality is good otherwise.
I ordered one of these. Will report back when I get it.

Isn't that the one that doesn't actually charge the phone, though?
It charges a separate battery, lying flat in the base. But the phone simply sits in the base. Seems mad to me.
Edit: Yup, doesn't charge the phone. More pictures here. Removed link as I wasn't sure if linking to a retailer was permitted. Is copying their images ok?
I remember having a very similar dock to that for the M2000 (htc blue angel), battery charged in the back, but you could plug a mini-usb cable in to charge the device as well.....
Thats a big step backwards!

My opinion...
If this would have been released with the phone or shortly thereafter I think it would have sold like hotcakes. I have no doubt that I would have bought one.
But now that the phone has been out for so long a lot of people have found other alternatives or have gotten used to just using the kickstand (like me).
For 60.00, I'll pass.

Yes I totally agree... I say that money can be better spent on the ext battery!
$60 bucks?? i will also pass
where's the HDMI out? boo!
Too little too late, htc. I am absolutely not paying 60 dollars for a cheap piece of plastic that does nothing my current wall charger doesn't do.
Frankly, that looks very similar, if not, exactly like the dock on the verizon website.
And they sell for the same price.
Looks nice and I might consider it if/when it drops to a reasonable price.
Looks great, but I';; wait until it comes down to about $25.
Pass as well on this. $60 is better spent elsewhere.
60$?!?!?!?!
this is the **** that pisses me off
$14.99 pls?
its cool i got a dock with my kickstand
Also, I'll probably wait until someone sells this on amazon for a really cheap price.
Only a matter of time I say...
EDIT:
It seems there are merchants selling the car dock for about 17 dollars new (at time of post). Plus other non-HTC desktop docks for about 30 bucks

That is one opinion. This was a great feature of my old X, I was disappointed the Thunderbolt didn't come with it.
I went ahead and ordered one, I had one for my old Droid and liked it when using it as an alarm clock.
Wish it would have been a little cheaper though.
Here's a 3rd part equivalent for half the price
Amazon
Really HTC? After months of waiting this is what you bring is this overpriced dock with no HDMI out on it? How about dropping this to $30 then I might be interested. Otherwise epic fail.
HTC y U NO PUT HDMI PORT?!?!1?!! =[
Because they really failed with this phone. I loved it at first, but now I am just beginning to hate it. With the issues like the stupid usb location, gps issues, no HDMI, random reboots, etc I am really beginning to regret my decision from launch day.

Seriously. When I heard the $60 price tag, I thought that this must have an hdmi to come close to making it worth it. I agree with the post above, this phone is ok, but no where near the build quality of the OD Droid.
Got a TPU case on my phone and love it. Is there a desktop charger other than the seidio one that could fit it?

and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.
Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..
That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.
Obviously Samsung is more well known, but has anyone heard of EZOPower. They have the exact Dual Case comp dock, they look almost alike except for labeling. Is it as good
which to go for? it is only 19 compared to $27

Since all this is is a charging dock, there is little for it be "better" or "worse". Essentially, all it is is a USB cable, with large head. personally i would go for the cheap one. If you were looking at a multimedia dock, it would be different.
personally, i would go for the hyperion one (also on amazon, and I cannot post links, yet because new members aren't allowed to help people directly, so you have to search for it) and save 2 bucks more.
thanks again
I found it. I had a bad experience with the wall chargers from them One didn't work. took awhile to get a refund
It looks ok tho.
1. It looks case compatible, don't you think?
2. The title says GS3, but the description says Galaxy Note. I do think it is for the S3
3. I did find the Kidigi which is more than that, the original Samsung, or the EZOPower, the Deluxe Piano Black Charging Cradle Dual Purpose Case Compatible. I dont know where to get it.
Thank You
I actually like this dock. Would LOVE to hear from anybody who has it if it would fit a thicker case like the Incipio Silicryilc. It's still fairly thin but not quite the skin-like cases that many love.

My thoughts:
1. case compatible? probably not... unless you have a dremel... if you do: yes it is.
2. with that shape, if it works for the note, i BET it works for the S3, as the S3 is thinner... but it might be "floppy"
3. kidigi says that the only US retailer is hypercel, but hypercel's website does not have it listed....

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.
We are actually giving away a Nexus 5 and some Easy Flex Wireless mounts on Facebook today - be sure to check it out.
Also, the price you guys see is MSRP - but the MAP price that it will be sold at on Amazon and other resellers is $69.95.

$70 with that 20% off offering that you all are sharing via Facebook if you sign up for the contest is pretty solid considering how much everyone likes the car mounts.

yeah the retail price isn't what it'll be on amazon. Funny I wrote in to them when I first got my nexus 5 asking if they were making one. Glad to see they did.
I'm curious on final price. Been using their mounts for awhile and find it pretty good.
I do have 2 of the indiegogo airdocks coming though. Which in the end is a better solution if it works.
Looks nice to me, I'd be all over it.

The contest says it ends the 47th of April? I tried to enter but apparently it's closed already.
Curious, I see that people are upset at spending $80 for a modern and functional mount that also wirelessly charges your phone. I think it looks awesome and I would totally buy it, but I'm curious, what other alternatives exist?

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

I have one and it doesn't charge with my case off. It will with case off. Maybe I should have it replaced
