Hey Guys
Do you know if there is a dock for the Focus out there or if the dock for the Galaxy S will work?

lol - that's why I edited my post - I had asked the same question. Turns out it goes in landscape so the plug fits on the side.
This is the only thing I could really find for a car dock
Lego Dock for Focus
One of the guys at Microsoft built this with 100% lego parts. Very cool! At least until a real dock is released. h**p://bit.ly/dnZSCb

Ok, perhaps not 'docks' yet these are viable stands. The one with the adjustable 'gooseneck' is from Wal*Mart in their car accessory section ($8). You can use a section cup only or, in my case due to wood desk, use the included 3M tape 'coaster' that then the suction cup attached to. You WILL have to remove the foam on the inside of the holding 'arms' to make the phone fit. Works great.
The other is a Samsung "Mobile Phone / MP3 Player Desktop Cradle" P/N:ET-CS01SBEGXAR (around $10). On the bottom of this cradle are places to run a cable as needed.
And yes, i know my phone needs cleaning
I can confirm that the Galaxy S dock does work with the focus. I have both phones and becides the camera and outer plastic they seem hardware identical.

What sucks? He said the Galaxy S dock DOES work.
I went and bought the galaxy s dock today and I can say that it does NOT work with the focus. The connections are in the same spot, but the depth of the connections are off (the dock's connector is deeper than the focus's port).

So, that prevents the Focus from connecting or just doesn't allow it to sit right? If it's just a problem with how it sits, it may be able to be customized. Maybe you could take some pics?

Thanks for the pics. Looking at the pics, I think I could easily modify that to work. Oh well, I'm not really looking for a doc. But, now I almost want one just to modify it! LOL
I have looked at all the docks for the various Galaxy S devices. From what I have seen, I think the Epic 4G dock may just work for us. The Epic 4G has a hardware keyboard and I'm thinking that will locate the microusb connection in a better position to connect with our device.

I'm not much of a modder, so I guess I'll have to wait for a focus dock.
toothpickj, i looked @ a couple of videos for the epic 4g dock and the micro usb connector is a lot higher up the side than w/the galaxy s.
Anyone using a car mount with this yet? I've seem some generic looking ones on ebay. Hoping for one that will work in a cup holder rather than suction cupping to the window. I also dislike the idea of using an adjustable goose neck (like the floor mount uses) because of past experience with an eeepc on one of those. It didn't hold the eeepc still.
Anyone using one?
if you look about 2 pages back youll see a post where a guy made a car mount.

did a search and didn't find anything. I saw a video on youtube but I couldn't make out how it mounted. I'll look for that thread.
couldn't find the thread... link?
Ordered this:
http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=400192057990
Hopefully it will work. The guy selling them said it is very sturdy and shouldn't be a problem and comparing my eeepc to the nook, the nook is much much lighter. maybe it will handle the gooseneck.
I'm curious, are you using it as a GPS? Or perhaps as MP3 player? Both? please let us know how that mount works. I'd love to turn my nook into a car navigation and mp3 player.

yes I am. I have to rig up some car charger power for it now.
I worried over how I was going to mount mine for quite a while, then I realized I could use a storage compartment already built into my '05 Altima. It's the perfect location above the radio, right where I'd want my navi to be anyways. The compartment door opens up all the way and allows the Nook to sit right in between it and the bottom of the compartment. I use a BN silicone case so I don't scratch it, but it's the perfect fit and there's no way it can fall out. Just thought I'd show off with a pic, it looks really sweet at night especially.

Awesome, thanks!
Recently bought a Nook Color, and already have a 32GB microSD card for it and have a pack of anti-glare screen protectors coming in on Saturday. I'm looking to add a plain case and a keyboard case (if possible) to complete my "accessory" set for it.
For the plain case, I'm just looking for something along the lines of the Otterbox Commuter case for it - something that will look nice and be able to protect it should it fall; I want to comfortably carry it on the street and not worry if it falls out of my hands. Just wondering, though - is it worth ~$40? I don't care about it covering the microSD card slot (I don't intend on removing it much), I'm just talking purely about protection and whether there's a better case for the price that would offer a similar level of protection. I don't need a "folio-type" case that will actually cover the screen, and I'd actually prefer that it isn't.
As for the keyboard case, I'm looking at something like this:
http://www.amazon.com/dp/B004OB0EBQ/
And I remember seeing one with a microUSB connector at the end, but I can't find it at the moment. Anyway, I'm wondering if there's such a keyboard case that would work via USB with the Nook Color (and if there's anything specific I need to do in terms of software - I have CM7.2 on it right now), since I've read that certain such devices won't work without a powered USB hub, and I'd rather not deal with that. I'm not too interested in Bluetooth keyboard cases both due to price and the hassle of Bluetooth (pairing, battery life, etc.), but if somebody knows of a cheap one that works well with the Nook Color then I'd be very interested.
Thanks!
I too have given up on bluetooth keyboards and I'm using this case:

I found that case here, with a microUSB plug (meaning the miniUSB plug and converter is unnecessary):
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170783937772
Great to know that it only requires an app to work. Think I might go with that and the Otterbox, since it seems like it should still fit according to the specs.
Nobody makes a micro usb female to usb male adapter that I've found so you won't be able to use that keyboard and a mouse and usb drive using a usb hub.
Good find though.

I thought about that (after I bought it =P), but I don't even have a wired mouse at the moment, or the need to plug in a flash drive. Just the keyboard plugged in is fine for me.
So I finally received the case this week and I've been using it a bit...I love it. My only two complaints are that it doesn't hold it well enough to prevent it from slipping out on the sides, and that the Nook Tweaks app to enable USB host doesn't always work properly (might have to re-enable settings and refresh a few times) - but certainly not a dealbreaker.
I'm still looking for a decent regular case, though, as the Otterbox is kinda pricey at ~$45.

The one I linked to:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/170783937772
From what I understand, the full-size USB version that can be bought on Amazon is identical in the way it holds the tablet. Again, I certainly wouldn't call it a dealbreaker especially since you can probably make some DIY straps to hold it better or something.
eBay has lots of cases. Got mine from a seller named letsshopdirect. $10 shipped. Whoo.
I bought a keyboard case, even with Nook Tweaks app and both USB settings checked, it wont work with my NC. I know its not the keyboard, cuz it works with other tablets. What am I doing wrong?
Oh, this may help: http://www.ebay.com/itm/310961491593?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649 its the link to the listing on ebay for my keyboard

that's kind of interesting. Although, kind of expensive. I believe the DiNovo Minis still go for around $150.
I happen to have one I use for HTPC. I'll see if I can sync it and if it'll work or not.

It's just a bluetooth keyboard. It has a flip cover when not in use, the Streak is just sitting on the cover. The streak is slightly bigger than the note I believe, so this would work as well.
I was able to sync the DiNovo Mini to the GN2 without issue. The GN just saw it as keyboard input device with a mouse input. I'm on the US Sprint variant, which is rooted, and running a deoxedized stock rom.
Here's a YouTube video showing it working and in the blue tooth synced device list.
Here are some pictures, with some being comparison shots (click on the image for larger image):
The issue I could see with the setup, especially in regards towards the OP's youtube link, the Galaxy Note does not have a landscape home screen mode. There are some apps that can do it; at least from what I found on a quick google search.
I still think it's a bit expensive for it's use. Plus, you would need to come up with a way to secure the GN to DiNovo, especially for environments such as train rides and so forth.
I use a case with kickstand and this rechargeable backlight Bluetooth keyboard with track pad I got for like $20-25.... works great.

I'm sure the Viimote, I think that's what it was called, works great. I've seen it referenced quite a bit for HTPCs. Unfortunately, doesn't seem like an altermative solution to what the original OP's link was to:
As once can see, the GN would be attached the DM's cover. This would be ideal for situations where you don't have surface to place either the GN or keyboard or when one is on the go. This is similar to what products like the Gameklip and trying to solve in regards to gamepad controllers.
that looks epic!! How securely does it attach?

Looks very tempting. Amazon has the keyboards for around $70, but that's still kinda steep. As for securing the device I was thinking thin tpu case and industrial velcro, but I would have to have hands on to figure it out. Thanks for your input!

Sent from my SGH-T889 using xda app-developers app
I was thinking if you're going to secure it, one could try some kind of suction cup thing or maybe whatever something like the Rockfish Pivotpad uses. In the pictures, I just had it sitting on the DM cover. In the video, I just set in a PivotPad I have.
I had the same though about securing a second TPU case to it, but I would be concern about stretching the corners of TPU case(s) or damaging the phone from taking it on and off in cases where one is using it on their daily commutes. The biggest concern I would have, the weight distribution is not even by a long shot. I'm not sure if the weight, in the long term, will damage the hinge. It would be something to look into from the Dell Streak project.
I use my DiNovo for HTPC. So I just did to see if it worked the GN2. I figured size comparison shots between the GN2 and DM would be helpful for someone who wanted to take on the project. I think that is what the other person did, see if it works at all. $70 isn't bad for a blue tooth keyboard that is portable.
Like most things when using DM, you kind of have to figure out which functions work and how. I found escape (fnc + tab) was the back key. I didn't try any of the media keys. The mouse moved kind of slow for my liking; I have it set to max on the HTPC.

Might be useful for anyone after recommendations, if you want to know how I found using any of these let me know!
32GB OTG Flash disk - (Yet to receive)
http://www.tinydeal.com/ssk-32gb-usb-20-to-micro-usb-flash-drive-otg-flash-disk-p-115334.html
This is amazingly compact and can operate in a normal laptop and phone.. Also will be useful for Windows 8" tablets. This is about a third of the regular price of these drives and seems to be a rebrand of the PQI drive.
3200mAH Battery Case
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121231899528?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
With integrated kickstand! This is no where near as good as a Mophie case but it works good enough for the money that was paid. The first thing to mention is that your phone will be ALOT bigger so only get this if you really must have the battery endurance you will notice the size difference. Also you will notice the buttons on the back not being there and how much you actually used the volume controls... To toggle the screen I recommend removing an icon in the middle of your screen so you have an easy place to click for activating knock on. This also doesn't have a lip to protect the screen however this could be useful if you are after a glass screenprotector (see below) All in all the case isn't too bad for the money if you use it top up your phone battery on the go.... This will also cancel your USB OTG functionality, I haven't yet figured out a way to for example use a memory stick or tv out with the case on...
Quick View Case with Stand
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Rock-High...t=LH_DefaultDomain_0&var=&hash=item4acab9e626
A bit ugly if im honest but has really good grip, dont worry at all about getting phone out of my pocket when out and about... more importantly it doesn't cost £40 like the official one!!
Slimport Adapter
http://www.dabs.com/products/startech-com-slimport---mydp-to-hdmi-8ZCR.html
Best price I could find, Slimport does 1080p instead of MHL 1080i, however you will need external micro usb power to use it which will also charge your phone... No probs with picture or sound, makes good use of XBMC... Despite what you read, you do NOT need to have this plugged into a charger to work....
SteelSeries BT Gamepad
http://www.dabs.com/products/steels...etooth---ios--android--windows--mac-8KRK.html
Expensive but best reacharable mini gamepad I could find... warning the analogs are quite stiff.... Also i think i prefer the new samsung gamepad coming out
BT Keyboard / Mouse
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Bluetooth-Wireless-Rii-Keyboard-Touchpad/dp/B004KFFQ5K
Very responsive and excellent battery, the light up keys is a nice touch... also features a tab button for form filling etc which apparently is annoying for alot of air mice as you have to keep turning it over etc.
Keyring Micro USB cable
http://www.culcharge.com/product.htm
Very small and hangs off my keychain quite comfortably, not yet really found a use for it but it's nice to know it's always there I think possibly the iPhone 5 version would be useful to alot of people.

USB OTG Micro SD Reader
http://dx.com/p/2-in-1-usb-micro-usb-otg-tf-memory-card-reader-white-silver-241505

Until they start shipping them out it's going to be hard to really rate them, however I don't think there is anything similar on the market despite all the delays... and it's alot more subtle than the galaxy gear with more battery life.... Apparently Kreyos are showing them off at CES, wish they would just ship them out already... but when I get mine I will post how I'm finding it
Just got the battery case delivered I mentioned above.... my first impressions is that it creaks a bit but I think it will do the job, it seems to be fairly responsive to charging etc....
The integrated stand seems to be ok but is quite a pain to try and get out of the case!

Hi, I will post some pictures perhaps today, however I am having a major issue with charging both the case and the phone at the same time which suggests no pass through capability. I am going to try an ipad turbo charger as it has a larger mha as I want to rule out needing a high capacity 800-1000mha charger to be able to handle dual charging. Otherwise the case will be going back
The length I can mention is the same as an iPhone 5 that has been equipped with a mophie juice pack as the G2 case is much slimmer at the bottom.
Wait, so the length(height) of the G2 with said battery pack is the same height as an iPhone with a battery pack case installed? That is great news. I guess the only downside for me the lack of access to the rear keys. Also, I take this should fit the Verizon G2 with little to no issues?

In the link I posted it states:
* Please Charge the Battery Case before Usage.
* Please Charge the Battery Case and LG G2 Separately. (Do Not Charge the Battery Case and LG G2 At the Same Time)
If this is the same case, then you can only charge the case and the phone separately which is indeed a hassle.
Yup same length as the iPhone 5 with Mophie, I noticed this as my phone was lying next to my gf's and realised how much the mophie battery pack adds to the bottom of the case, the G2 is pretty slim by the dock port...
Ok now that I've had the case for a few days it seems that you definitely need a really good USB charger to use it properly, it seems (and according to the instructions as well) that you can either charge Phone Only or Case Only. This is very different behavior to other battery packs that are able to charge both simultaneously, however these also generally cost 3x the price and are not sold for the G2
I have uploaded some pics of the case etc... sorry the flash on my tablet wasn't working as it needs a charge... I hope they help out a bit...
My only other point is that to get the case on is an absolute pig, as it doesn't come apart at the bottom so it took me a while to figure out how to get it at the right angle to fit....
You think you can post a picture of the bottom of the case?
Sure, I will take some more tonight... The only thing I can really add is that you definitely have to be proactive about charging the case, it's more of an external battery pack that's always on you instead of the mophie where you can pretty much just treat it as part of your phone and not think about it..
You think if enough people message Mophie they will make a case for our G2(even if it's a short case with 1200mah battery)?
They do offer cases for the Galaxy S4 but I don't think the G2 has been selling that well for Mophie to want to, can always try emailing them?
Yeah I noticed they make it for the S3 and S4. I'll email them and see what kind of reply I get.
So, the 32gb OTG micro USB flash disk, did you receive? Works fine?

I've not yet got the USB disk, it's been sent as shipped but I will put up details of it here when I receive it... I will be surprised if it turns up / not be a fake
I have also ordered the microsd reader which I have listed which looks very interesting for a few quid.
