I really want to get a dock station so I can use the Desk Home and maybe watch some movies at work.
Does anyone know where to get one?
samsung accessory page - but they're not available yet

Nah, screw the Home Dock, who needs features like
'charging' and 'audio output' when you can have this little piece of genius:
most useful invention evar
When you're done using it to prop up your phone at work,
you can use it to clean all the **** outta your desk when your boss catches you.
How would you dock a phone that has its power connector on the top... LOL
It slides in sideways. Hence the desk app.
Make a paperclip stand!
I made one of these and it works great for my Vibrant. I have it on my desk at the office and plug the usb into my computer. I've been watching videos during lunch using this thing with no problems.
Can't beat that for $0.01. I did have to make three before I got it just right, so maybe the cost is more like $0.03.
Look at my paperclip stand. Its perfect, I just have to be carefull don't scratch it with the edges.
Ignore this. I dont know how delete a post
I made 3 or 4 of the paper clip ones and just never felt that it was that sturdy. Oh well. Off to the supply room to rumage for supplies.

You could use pencil erasers on the ends to not scratch it
Nice I like the idea
Now the price goes from $0.01 to $0.02

I was thinking something like bending the tips down or something
I've been wondering about this dock for a while now. Supposedly someone said they saw it in a video on Samsung's website, but I haven't seen anything. I hope it comes out soon, though. I really want one!

could use electrical tape as well, then you could make it in a variety of colors
I like the idea but its not very portable. I was thinking of getting one of those batrest stands.

Found this with a google search http://www.seskimo.com/batrest.php
Looks interesting. If you click the amazon link on that page it pulls up some other low cost stands.
I just ordered this last night http://www.amazon.com/elago-Stand-A...?ie=UTF8&s=electronics&qid=1280882983&sr=8-42
For $3.99 plus shipping, I figured why not.
I think this is it?
That's the one.
I'm surprised that our 4" SAMOLED phone doesn't have this option.... or a case with a kickstand. I'd love one for the sheer fact that I can view media and have it as a clock by my bedside.
Maybe we can suggest it to samsung? anyone know how?

You stole that idea from my mind! I would rather see two small feet at one side of the case then the large feet.
cristorb said:
Hey guys check the link on my signature.
This is a stand that will fit any phone, with the case or without it.
It has multiple viewing angles, and you can rotate it to set the phone on any of its four sides.
You avoid blocking any ports with the rotation.
It is removable or you can keep it on the phone. It is also very small that u can bring it with you anywhere.

I like it, how many different angles are there for viewing?
You could always find a really small hinge, a spare battery door and a straight thin piece of metal with teeth/notches that lock it in place when it's open or closed and make a prototype. And then sell it to Samsung

I think that it is a great idea, but I am hesitant to think that Samsung would use it for the Captivate. They may use it for the newer phones though.
if this happens i expect to see another patent war between HTC and Samsung.
If only those aftermarket creative directors would just sneak into these forums, I would buy one for sure. My arm gets pretty tired sometimes when lying in bed.

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.
from ebay
http://www.ebay.com/itm/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=270831391457&ssPageNam e=ADME:L:OC:AU:1123
review:
After my first disapointing buy from ebay i bought this "sexy"
synthetic leather case.
Its weight is 290 grams.
Is a very-very slim case and when it closed, the case is tightly fixed on the tablet.
It has 3 deep grooves for standing and the tablet is very stable in these positions.
The philosophy of this case is "to not hiding nothing from the tablet when you use it."
On the back side there is a gentle opening for the camera.
It smells like leather.
The close clip aplly a good force to keep the case closed.
Every button or socket of the tablet is accesible with closed case
And finally i am happy, and this is the most important
Looks good, does it have a typing angle? What is the name?
also are you able to charge the tab without having the case open? i have one such and i need to have my case open each time i charge which is a pain
This is maybe the case I'm looking for. Can you please share the name and the link for the case. Since you can't post links, replace for examples the dots of the url with spaces or some other characters.
Maybe this one:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=320786081962#ht_2592wt_1165
You have to open the case when charging (if I remember right).
I bought this. Premium quality indeed.
EDIT:
cheaper one

The Style is the same like "PyroSkins and Vipertech" but what about the leather quality?
How much did you pay?

I must say the case looks really nice!
I was wondering about the 3 viewing angles though - do they firmly support the Tab? Would hate to buy it and then find out it slips and falls out when I set it up on one of the angles (I saw that happen before...). Also, is it possible to use this case to prop your Tab up when you put it in your lap (in bed or something similar)? Or is it too flimsy?
And do you feel the extra weight when you carry the tab around? I really love how light it is right now, you don't even notice you have it in your bag (with the standard samsung pouch on) and it's really easy to hold it in one hand and typing with the other if you're walking around the house.

The gaps for the 3 viewing angles are deep enough, and yes you can use it in your lap, my wife do it often.

is still light it is just 290 grams more.
but if you want to use it with one hand, i think that the best way is
to hold it in portrait like a book because the total weight is about 850 grams
Well you got me sir, just ordered one myself. Hope it works as well as you described
Will report back once I have it and test it out a bit ^^
Can anyone confirm if this will fit tmobile galaxy tab 10.1?

Isn't it the same size? If it is, it should fit... can't help you out there though as I have a 7500 one.
The same case, with a new name, posted once again in a new thread. This was $12 on amazon last week.
Really? I sure couldn't find it when I looked (didn't look really hard though)
Doesn't really matter though, if it's a good case I'm more then willing to spend $23 on it. The most basic samsung pouch costs 25€ (about $35) here :S.

You definitely didn't look very hard. Here's my post from last week. Link to amazon where you can get if now for $19.

Aye, you're right. Wouldn't help me though, since amazon tells me that "there is a slight problem with my order" (they can't ship it to my place for some reason).
Still, good to know a cheaper option might exist for some people, thanks!

Yes the size should be the same. I'm just worried about button/port placement.

For people trying to find one from the UK...
I purchased a look a like case from here:
http://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B005ECHQ4C
I was struggling to find it as cheap as in the US for example.
The one from the above link, seem to be very good so far. All viewing angles work great, both on a flat surface and on my lap. The typing position is my most used.
'Leather' quality seems good so far. Of course it is going to add some weight, but not really an issue for me. ALL ports/buttons are fully accessible, inc charging when case is closed.
its a great case
Challenged my cousin to make me a stand for my watch and phone and this is what I got..... :laugh:

Not bad to say that it has both chargers built in.

That is awesome. Looks like it fits the phone great. I want to build a QI charger where it has a bottom ledge and sides so it is a perfect fit and aligned every time.
While I like the Lego look, you could even paint it a solid color.
