Slacker G2 Dock

Just received a Slacker G2 Dock ($15 with free S&H from eBay), plugged my Streak, and it works for charging and synchronization. I did not test A/V yet. A great, inexpensive and stylish alternative to a spare cable.

So this thing has the same PDMI connector? Does it work with a case on (i.e. Otterbox Commuter case)?

wow i might get two! Is there a regular plug for it or is the power from mini usb only?

wow very nice and cheap solution! Unfortunately, the seller shall only be sent after the U.S..

Wow this is good news! Let us know if the A/V functions work! And thank you for this find!

@ZodiacPhoto,
Could you please post a pic of the Streak in this dock and showing that it is charging. If the PDMI connector on this Slacker G2 dock matches the Dell Streak and it charges - you seriously just found a hidden jewel! So I am eagerly awaiting your reply so we can verify and order these bad boys

Thats that thing I was trying to remember the name of in the "Dell Please, we need a charging dock like this one" thread thanks!
Pity they don't seem to be available in the UK though.

Photos are here!

Hi ZodiacPhoto,
Thanks for the photo's like, though how stable/sturdy is the phone on the dock? The main body of the dock seem's quite low and no where near the phone, so it looks like there's no support for the phone and it looks like its hanging on the PDMI connectors....is that a correct assumption?

Thank you! Awesome! Does Streak feel stable in it? I am asking because there is not a lot of support in the back and I am afraid (after a while) the port maybe damaged under pressure of Streaks weight.

Looks like we're asking the same question
;0 Also do you by chance have any sort of case. I am usually have mine in a Commuter case so I wonder if the case may prevent it from connecting all the way.
I think one could glue something to support the back if necessary so it's not as big of a concern as the fitment with the case on.

Update on the dock
The dock has 2 outputs, labeled "Line out" and "Headphones (symbol)".
When I try to play music while connected to USB, I get the familiar message that SD card content is not available when connected via USB. I unplugged the USB cable and played some music. There is no signal on any of the two outputs of the dock.
---
Also, I can say that Streak is quite stable on the dock, the center of gravity is well within the area of the dock, and the dock itself, while small, is quite heavy - it feels like it may have lead weight inside, and bottom of the dock is covered by non-slip rubber.

@ZodiacPhoto,
Thanks again. Do you think Streak being in a case would not allow the PDMI connector of the dock to go all the way in and thus not charge the device (or even letting it stay in the dock)?

Streak in a case on the Slacker dock
I have to remove my Commuter case to fit the Streak on the Slacker dock.
However, it may be possible to fit an extremely "lean" case, which does not increase the dimensions of the Streak, if such case even exists.

Thanks for your prompt response. I was afraid that may be the case (no pun intended ). From the many high res pictures I was able to find on the web it looks like the bottom portion of the case (near the charging port) will prevent it from going all the way in.
Still at $15 - it's a very nice deal. I'll have have to learn how to remove the case quickly and without damaging the case

They don't ship outside of the US I'm in Europe And no one has them on eBay, nor on amazon!!! Arggg

Ok this sounds great and i want/need 2 of them.
Where am i looking for on eBay because i can not find anything on Slacker G2 Dock or any combination from that.
Ok never mind i found it with google and they don't ship outside the US.

What have you purchased in preparation.

I purchased a case a stylus, a OTG cable, and a 32GB USB Flash drive(micro), some velcro (hook and loop type) .
Now the Velcro is to attach the otg cable and the flash drive to the case and ill probably make a USB pass through device so it can always stay plugged in. The OTG cable will run on the corner of the inside of the case and to the inside flap in the corner there for it will stay hidden most of the time.
My other option was to cut away into the case putting the flashdrive and the OTG cable actually inside the case (to either the side that opens to cover the screen or behind the tablet) and then putting a thin layer of the cover back in place to hide it and only being able to see the part that plugs into the tablet. I also have shrink wrap tubing that i will layer around the entire OTG cable to make it more sturdy so it can handle the plugin and out for charging.
So people what have you done in preparation for your Nexus 7 tablet to get here.
will be posting it on my websites update service blog @ blog.cmsjr123.com

I bought the $6 Blurex case. Was thinking of getting a neoprene sleeve before but figure this has more use and is cheaper.

I bought the 7$ moko one. I will buy one of the offical ASUS/google ones once they become available. But i have a cover than i can get multiple ones of if my little project fails.

Just an OTG cable. Patiently waiting for the official case/covers to be available for purchase.

i ordered this OTG cable
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005GGBYJ4/ref=oh_details_o02_s00_i00

I bought 3 pouches. I'm going to imbed magnets in there to make a smartcover. I also bought two 3.5 to 3.5 cable for computer headphone with mic.

I'm going to use one of those thin magnet behind a picture frame that stick on the fridge. You can buy tape magnet from Target.

Im going to wait and hope Zagg carries a screen protector for the nexus 7. That is my go to screen guys because with my evo that protector went through some shiz and barely had any scratches what so ever.
also i was going to try that same tape but from walmart. I live in a small town so they are pretty close. I was going to insert them all into my folio case/cover i bought for it. WIll post the project on my blog and on here. With pictures etc.
PS i was in the shower here at 1.44AM and well my notification went off on my phone. and not my text ringtone but my MAIL/VMail notification and yea... It was the SHIPPED EMAIl.
Now back on topic. Anyone use the amazon basics stylus? or Did any of you already have one?

I brought:
Screenshields
Dock
Going to buy:
Gel Case or
Official Google case
Depends what the reviews are.

Just a couple of things. No idea if the case has a magnet for the "smart cover" thing but if it doesn't it was pretty cheap so no biggie.

I recently traded in my OG PSP and got a HP Touchpad Bluetooth Keyboard for use with the Nexus 7.
I also brought a solar charger/battery, mainly for my Nexus S when I've been tethering.
Also my wife went and got an iPad 3 the other day that came with a case and a really nice stylus. She has let me steal the stylus.

I bought a USB OTG cable which arrived a few days ago. 99p! :3

I've just ordered a Navitech case for it, which I think already has a magnetic catch in it, which hopefully will work with the Nexus 7, if not I'll get some thin strip magnet and put some of that in the case.

I bought a Spiderpodium to use as a stand for both my phone and the Nexus 7.
Works really well, so many potential uses for it too, rather than limited to just this device.
I've got a case and usb otg cable on the way as well.

Oh, I got a generic slip case from Poundland. NO EXPENSE SPARED.

Kidigi Portrait Desk Dock *Review*

Hello everyone, I recently received a Kidigi desk dock for my Nexus 7 and decided to write a review. Here are my thoughts on this dock along with some pictures.
Shipped from China, here's the packaging (exciting, huh?)

The box:
Whats in the box? The dock and a usb cable (no wall plug)
Front of the dock and cable
Back of the dock
Bottom of the dock
USB connector inside of the dock with the spacer in place, for using your Nexus 7 without a case (naked).
Spacer removed, to use the dock with a slim case, such as a TPU case.
Closer shot of the dock with the spacer out. The USB connector sticks up and this causes a slight issue that I will cover later.
Spacer in, front shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock without a case. Fits perfectly and is level.
Spacer in, side shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock without a case.
Close up shot of dock with spacer removed. Since the USB connector is raised (to make space for the spacer), when you use the dock like this with a TPU case on, it may tilt slight to the left or right.
Front shot of the Nexus 7 in the dock with a Nillkin TPU case on. It's a bit hard to see in this picture, but the Nexus 7 is tilted slightly to the right
I had the same problem with an Ibolt car dock for my HTX One X (slight tilt to one side) but that car dock came with a small piece of sticky foam to make up for this space. I figured that was the best fix for this dock, so I put two small strips of thin foam (sticky on one side) on the sides of the USB connector, so that when the Nexus 7 is in the dock with a case on it sits level. This was a simple fix that works. Kidigi might want to consider including two small pieces of sticky-back foam for this purpose like Ibolt does.
All in all I am very happy with this dock. If you prefer your Nexus 7 to display on your desk in portrait mode, like me, then I think you will appreciate this dock. I would recommend that Kidigi include some sticky back foam and possibly a wall charger, but I understand that anything additional would bump of the price, obviously. Please feel free to ask me any other questions or request any other pictures about this dock.
You can find Kidigi authorized sellers here:
http://www.kidigi.com/wtb.php

Thanks for the review. How much did you pay for it?
I liked their dock for the gnex, unfortunately they are not in the us, so it is not compatible with the vzw model.

Yes, it only comes with a USB cable. I purchased from 4u-mobi.com. $32.99 shipped to the US.
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlinestore/...=nexus+7&filter_category_id=79&product_id=156
I am in Pennsylvania, as you can see under my name on the left.
Lastly, I hope that you understand that the world does not revolve around us Americans, even if we might think it does. Just because that link does not list the United States hardly makes it useless since there are many members here from other countries that might find the link useful. Thanks for reading the review, though.
BTW, If you had chosen "Other country" on that link, you would see that their worldwide reseller is 4u-mobi.com.

In case anyone is interested in one of these, I listed my spare one for sale on eBay. Just do a search for Kidigi Nexus 7.

I think this one looks pretty legit and decent quality. However the dock looks to form fit the phone whereas the official one from Samsung could take one with a case on the phone. If u don't mind taking off the case every time then this one isn't bad.
EDIT: in case you didn't see the other thread the official smart dock is available at Verizon

Trust me i know what you mean. I've been waiting to use my 50% off at Samsung too, but honestly I think they're waiting for that deal to expire before they say they're back in stock. Better to at least physically check it out at a Verizon store.

If you look at the ad description you will see it is advertised as having a removable insert so your note can be in a slim case. I have been pondering on getting this myself but hoped someone else would pull the trigger first
Anyone feeling brave?

I own this brand dock for my One X and it works great. It has the removable insert as this one describes and can house a small to medium sized case (One X has Micro USB on side).
I actually took it apart tonight to get the MHL to hdmi adapter out so then I can order the 5 pin to 11pin to get it to work.

it says that it doesnt connect to PC through the USB
does it?

Id actually like to see a mount/cradle type setup of this sort that you can mount the phone into horizontally. I want to use it in my vehicle but have yet to find a good mounting spot for the thing... I'd like to construct a custom bracket of some sort to hold the phone directly in front of the OEM radio, because I never really listen to the radio - only Slacker/MP3's... 2011 Mazda 3, non bose system, but not sure where to mount... If I found something that mounted horizontally, I could insert a bracket into the CD player and mount it to that.

whats the difference between the samsung dock and the allshare cast? except the obvious wireless

Anyone bought one yet and can confirmed it fit with a slim cover (bodyglove?)

Also curious about the fit. I have the dark grey TPU body glove case and want to know if this will fit.

Has anyone gotten this dock? Any thoughts?

Qi Wireless Charging Kit for Sony Xperia Z

just found this, would be nice, if more cases will get this function
http://au.mobilefun.com/38074-qi-wireless-charging-kit-for-sony-xperia-z.htm

nice!

Too expensive for a charger, but it's great they're already working on accessories like that

So it uses the pogo pins to charge? That's clever. Hopefully we see some cheaper versions around, otherwise two docks (One for home, one for Work) would be easier.

Not a good idea for people who wants to keep the phone naked.
I'm more interested in the dock I think. Not much difference in placing your phone on a pad or sliding into a dock

Probably to make it stay sexy for a long time.
The phone will still look great with a case/shell on it. Helluva lot better than with a used up fingerprinted scratched and cracked housing ever will.
