I got tired of standing my tablet between my monitor and a stapler so I went looking for a stand. I just got the Arkon Portable Fold-Up Stand from amazon and it works great. It can be used in either portrait or landscape and it wasn't too expensive. It looks great on my work desk!

Thats a great idea! I have the very same issue while trying to play my emulators. Love this! Thanks for sharing!
Stand for A7
Hi All,
I've looked at a number of stands for my A7, but ended up using an old camera tripod I had, and it turned out be be great idea!
the Joby GorillaPod is a flexible mini tripod for cameras, but I just molded mine to look like a stand (bent the front 2 legs upward to hold in place), and I couldn't be happier. The best thing is you can adjust the back leg to fit whatever viewing angle suits your needs.
This is a link to Amazon for around $13.99, basically same price as a regular stand (that isn't flexible), but you can probably find one for a little cheaper even and they come in all sorts of colors.

Hope you find this helpful!
I also ordered this on your advice and must say this was a excellent find.
Thanks for the info. I love mine it works perfect and for a great price.
You are welcomed!

Does the keyboard work with the A7 as I understand some of them don't work properly?
How is the quality of these cases and keyboard? Thanks.
Looks nice would get one
Looks like AT&T is listing a charging dock for the Vivid now. Has anyone seen one in a retail outlet?

I saw that on their site, too. (LINK) At that price I'm going to pass and wait for the aftermarket ones to show up on eBay.

Has any one tried this dock, just wanted to see if it would work if I had a case around. The last time I got one for Desire HD it fit perfectly but then I could not use a hard/soft case.
Well call it a test.
So, although there are not any charging docks out there for the HTC Vivid, there are charging docks out there for similar phones. That being said, I'm going to purchase this...
generic looking charging dock...for the HTC Thunderbolt and see how well it works. I figure I might have to give it some support in the back, but all in all it should be a good fit, not to mention the extra battery charging slot will be useless. I'm also going to pick up one of these...
window mount charging docks...and modify it so the Vivid will fit. The Vivid is .2" wider than the thunderbolt, so I figure it'll just make for a more tight fit.
charging dock and Car Mount
I bought few months ago this car mount (Exomount) from Amazon, I use 2 of them one at home and one in the car, It can hold anything so I use it as dock station too, So far it never failed me I drive around 6 hrs a day and its always sticked to my windshield never had problem with it, plus its cheap $ 15 sorry cant post links just search at Amazon "Exomount Universal Car Mount".
Vivid and dock or on the way from AT&T. Will post pics ASAP and answer any questions. I work for AT&T so I will report back on which cases still fit in the dock, if any, that we sell.

As an update to my original post, I received the window mount that I listed and after cutting off the far left side (the part the wraps around the top corner of the phone) it fit perfectly and it initiates the car mode when I put my phone in. The only downside is that it doesn't work with my TPU case in, but I think I have a plan to fix that

In a weak moment, I coughed up the $50 for this dock. At lease it comes with another wall-to-USB plug and a micro-USB cord. It works great, but I don't use a case. It is a snug fit. I doubt that it would work with any but the thinnest cases (without modification).
do you have a dock that automatically enters dock mode?
Does anybody have a dock, Car or Desk that automatically places the phone into dock mode? As I understand it other docks use a resistor between pins 4 and 5 to place the phone into dock mode. If you have a dock that automatically places your phone into dock mode, could you measure the resistance between pins 4 and 5. I've tried the 365K ohms suggested in another thread but it does not seem to have any effect.
Thanks.
I will try and post this tomorrow.
I have a resistance substitution box so I ran through a bunch of values. What I found is from about 12K to 9.8K Car Dock Mode is selected. From 1000K to 500K Desk Mode is selected. So I selected 10K for Car Mode and build a cable that seems to work. For Desk Mode I'd like to use 680K.
Then again. looking at these numbers I'm not too sure about the Desk Mode numbers I think they may be off by an order of magnitude, so I'm going to run those tests again. Ignore the Desk Mode number for now.
Bought the dock from AT&T (online) today after I got tired looking for one. Free 2 day shipping plus the cords included so that helped feel not so bad for it. I'll let yall know if it fits with the TPU case.
I just made this makeshift stand for mine for free with little materials.It may not be the prettiest but it does the job.Im going to glue rubber to the bottom and fill it with something heavy like sand or lead tomorrow.Works great here at home!Beef Jerky can,zip ties,and paper clips.Works for now!I decided to use the can so my volume button can be placed at the top while plugged in.Holds it in landscape or portrait mode.
^ lol
I was supposed to get a free Titan but the store screwed up, I had already bought a cheap titan dock from ebay for like 9 shipped. fits the vivid great!
HEHE!

Hey guys
I tried looking it up anyone know any good dock and other accessories that fit nexus s with a case (the really thin feather one)?
b ump
Anyone try either of these ??
This might work with a case
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sync-Charge...ccessories&hash=item43ad96c95f#ht_2842wt_1140
This should definitely work.

Dock is a problem
I don't really think that you need a case. You can always change the back cover of your nexus s from time to time. And the screen is very good, mine doesn't have any scratch. Take a look at this link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-ORIGINAL-HOUSING-BATTERY-BACK-DOOR-COVER-SAMSUNG-NEXUS-S-i9023-/160697790437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256a55afe5#ht_1248wt_1037
About the dock, nexus s do not have a multimedia dock like Motorola atrix, for example. The dock only charges and holds your phone. Even this being said I have a dock just like the one in the link bellow. It's good to have at work, you always have your phone charged.

I bought a cheap dock. My nexus s almost fitted with the case on. Took it to myself to disassemble the dock, heat the region around the port and move it slightly and angle it a tad differently. After letting it cool and putting back some hot glue it fits perfectly. ;-)
I have a TMOUS HD2 and am using the silcone skin that comes in the box. I like to use a desktop cradle and purchased one on eBay but the phone only fits on the dock with the skin off -- I noticed this with the official HD2 car dock, too.
Is there a desktop dock that works when the skin is on?

That is a portrait mode charging dock, not landscape one - there is a billion of them out there and it's nothing like the 2 docks I posted, which are landscape mode docks. Also it's for the wrong phone...not sure what's the point of your post
I'm with you, I'm looking for a landscape charging dock similar to my Captivate dock. I'm hoping something will come along soon.
I too would be interested, particularly in a landscape car dock, and just to make it particularly difficult, want to be able to leave the Note2 in the gel case.
I too have been looking for a landscape charging dock this is closest I found
http://item.mobileweb.ebay.co.uk/viewitem?itemId=170938617225&index=9&nav=SEARCH&nid=57027534825
It charges your phone and a spare battery in portrait it also has a second micro usb socket for data sync. But atleast it also holds the phone in landscape mode when needed. I have this dock and 2 of the batteries and its not bad.

I had the landscape one for my S3, cheap as well, broke apart and it was so cheap that u could twist it to make it fit with a case
You could infact but this one and remote the stand which has the USB input and slide back into ur liking till it lines up with the note 2 bottom

like you said - it holds the phone in portrait mode and it's not what we're looking for...there is a million docks just like this one out there, including official accessory from Samsung, posted on samsungusa website. This doesn't really help....
The links I posted in the OP are for the type of dock we're searching for.
This dock for original Note 1 can be used in both, portrait and landscape mode. This Indian eBay seller insists it fits both Note 1 & 2....Thoughts?

I have one, and when you plug it in the Note 2 recognizes that it's plugged into a dock, but it's loose. This phone is skinnier than the original note, so you have to be careful inserting it and i don't think it would lie on its side well. Maybe it would fit if you had a relatively thin case on your phone.
bump....has anyone seen any new aftermarket landscape charging docks out there yet?

I want one also. Don't like the portrait kind.
I've had landscape docks before for other phones but this is harder to find.
I don't think there are any yet for the Note II. I just looked overseas.
I can have one made but I'd have to explore how expensive it is.

I run DBA Cases.
I have people looking into it. If I can get them and carry them I will since I want one also
Here is a UK seller, which claims this dock is compatible with Note 2: http://www.amazon.co.uk/KitSound-Galaxy-Charging-Compatible-Samsung/dp/B008GJT6ZM
It also has a recent review from a guy, who mentions using it with Note 2. Any takers?
Landscape Dock
Right now all there are is portrait docks.
I can get a Landscape dock made but it's very expensive to make. I don't know what the demand will be.
Would people rather have a landscape dock?
