Dell Streak Stand

No cables were harmed in the making of this stand!
A mobile phone display stand, the back circular plastic was originally bent inwards to hold a phone in the vertical position.

The plastic was first heated and bent back flat and a hole was made to accommodate the PDMI connector.
Attached cable and glued into place.

Nice stand.

it was a display stand was from a phone store, had to pester them for it. its worth asking in any stores near you.

here is my "Crap-Stand"... (made from crap I found in my desk)
I took 2 large binder clips and 3 rubber 'things' that I found in a drawer and once pieced together it made a great little stand
As soon as I can find a knife I'll open the lip of the middle rubber thingy so the cable can be attached while in the stand

Sam and Radimus!
your work is very nice!!
Good job in beating the million dollar stands there !!
Rest can always improvise with the ideas,
and work further up with HDMIs or speakering the docks.. (!?)
Nice work!
:thumbs up:
care,
Sony.
P.S. Sam,
a lil of matte paper wrap could make the look very classy too! (just a thought..)
Nice work again.
<like> lolz.

Im using the same exact stand from my dlink router

I really thought that apart from hdmi, why do we really need the dell dock? besides its better for our pocket if we can be resourceful and make use of what we have or can get for free.

How do you like this holder and belt clip combo?

WOW there's some nice stands in here, my slacker G2 dock still holds up and uses the usb mini cable to charge but I guess these are all good second options to consider.

I'm also considering the g2, do you currently have a case/silicone on your streak...if so, does it fit well or does it have to be removed?

i have begun to love this very much...
I had tried few others and dint like this.
THis one i am kind of having it on all the time.
Also when i use it on my belt it stays put together and not buldging out too much...
The downside i noticed is that putting it back on to the clip after i remove it from the clip attached to the belt is diffcult at times..
I also have an attachment for the holder from addon for my car

just got the g2 dock. i like it but i just hate having to take out my otterbox case to make it fit.

Here are some pics of the G2 Dock being used with the Streak. I had to remove the plastic around the connector on the top cover of the dock to get it to work with the TPU case. This is not enough clearance for the Otterbox case to work. Here's a video showing how to dissemble the G2 dock.

The Router stand is a nice idea!
There is a business opportunity here people!
Modded-Stands with a _out_ for HDMI and Nice Wood or Matte finish!
Can be aptly priced..
<As it is, most of us do have the HDMI cable already by now..>
And we have at least a hundred folks here who can use a really well priced stand/dock for our Streak_Machines !!
care,
Sony.

thought I should share my other cool stand..I got this from Target for 2 AUD. Its a business card holder. Does the job well, always have it on my night stand. The other one is the DLink Router Stand.

Like the dock .. $50 will, of course, translate to £50
I'll wait for a Chinese clone for £10 inc shipping :laugh:

I'll probably buy the travel cover if they ever make it to a store.

Does the dock use the pogo pins?

It has to use the pogo pins for charge and music.

Travel Covers are garbage.. Would like to see a review/unboxing on the premium covers tho.

I love the dock!:good:

The dock says it uses Micro USB to charge, not the pogo pins.

Do hey realize how much money they lost not having the Premium cover at launch?
Or any of the travel covers?

Prefer OEM accessories over third party any day but lately a lot of them have been pretty lame (Apple's offerings included)... don't even start with the Verizon Galaxy Nexus.
The POGO dock looks real sleek... $50 is a bit high but I would still probably buy this. Thank you ASUS for coming through with these accessories and hey we even got street dates!

Looking forward to the premium case. Perfect

Premium case is still worthless if they do not add the smart cover. If they include the smart cover than I would love the orange one.
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app

That dock will replace the iHome

No speakers on the dock, so it's a fifty dollar piece of angled plastic? For 20 I might buy this, without speakers it seems kinda.....bleh. I guess I will have to wait for some aftermarket accessories. Anyone know of any different docks, other than the backward facing dock and the Gear 4 dock?
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda premium

Dock does look nice, but bit overpriced for just a "stand".
I really hope that premium cover has the smart function built into it or else it is just as worthless as the travel cover.

does anyone know if the dock has mhl support?

if the travel cover = the cover on the nexus site, no thanks, if it = the cover on the nexus site + smart feature, maybe, if it = the cover on the site + smart cover + some sort of magnetic latch I could be very interested.
the dock would be nice, $50 is a bit steep but really to not have to plug my device in each time, it might be worth it, if they were $25 or $30 I'd probably buy 3....
Hopefully more info comes out about the premium case, looks like what I'm looking for, book style, clips to hold it in, smart cover that can be a stand.
Can't say i'm that hopeful though, looking at the Target Date of the travel cover it was 7/16, so there at least 2 weeks late on that, hopefully someone comes through soon, i've got a sleeve coming just for protection until a nicer case comes out.

The dock is expensive for what little features it offers, personally I probably still will buy one (or a cheaper 3rd part equivalent) to be able to charge the N7 and have an OTG cable plugged in at the same time.

Since the micro-usb port doesn't support MHL it's a very good bet that the dock doesn't either. In that regard I'd wait for the Miracast standard to be finalised, afterwards it should be a simple matter of a software update to the N7 and a HDMI dongle that can be plugged into a TV or monitor.

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:

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.

iOttie Car dock, not bad for $20

Got myself a cheap temporary dock for my Note 2 until I get the ProClip one in a month or two (waiting till after xmas). Found this one on Amazon for a nice $20. http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B007FH716W/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
I like it so far. Very stable and has a good range of motion to it. No vibrations at all, (does start shaking a little bit when doing 150).
Also works nicely to hold it as a dash camera.
Also holds my phone with no problem with the Body Glove case on it.
Oh and that white square isn't part of it. Thats one of my NFC tags to start Waze and CoPilot whenever I put it in the dock.
Feel free to ask any questions and I'll answer them as best I can.
Anyway, here's some pictures:

This dock is technically one of those "universal ones", but it works well because of the spring loaded lock.
When you press the phone in, it hits this little button and snaps the side grips closed on your phone.
Then once they are closed, to release, just press these two and it unlocks the phone.
And nice thing is, because of how you have to release it, the phone will fall into your palm and you can just grab and go.

thanks for posting this, looks like a nice mount, the only thing i wish it had was a built in microusb cable to automatically start charging without me having to connect it lol

+1 for STi
/highfive

The nice thing is that it will grab textured dash just as well. Mine has been on my dash for over a week and it is not losing it's grip.

Do the holders at the bottom block the mic?

Thanks for the pics and the review, I've been looking for a cheap dock. The phone falls out of the cubby holes in my car's dash. lol

can you show a picture with the arms at their WIDEST with the phone in it ? IE how much "wider" can it go? (my cases add a lot of bulk to the phone)

I don't know why you guys buy car dock for. Its big and ugly. Its always in the way. It looks like a cawk sticking out from the windshield. Its best to get a 1 inch rubberband and 3 dollar case and modify it. I had it done on my sg2. I'm waiting on my case and will post pictures later.

because in order to use the phone case as a dock you need to use the phone SANS CASE and that is not acceptable to me
as for why a dock? thats easy. fumbling with the phone while driving is a good way to die and possibly kill others ie don't do it.
dock makes it convenient. Slip Grip made a case for the impact case I use for the S3 hopefully they will make an impact case for the Note II and hopefully slip grip will make a grip for the Note II in the impact case

Newegg has this one on Black Friday special for $10 with coupon code BLKFRIDAY27. I wish I live in the States
Sorry, the $10 with coupon is for the iPhone model, the one for Note 2 is $25 and am not sure if the coupon code applies.

Your bulky case couldn't possibly be bigger than this behemoth:
There is still a couple of mm on each side so it wil accomodate even an otterbox defender is my guess.

actually that's what I call a slim case the cases I use feom case ology are quite a bit thicker in both thickness and width
Though this jelly tank korean case I got today is pretty impressive

Nexus 10 Poetic Durabook Case - Now $9.99 on Amazon

On Amazon right now you can find the Poetic Dura Book leather case with auto-sleep/wake function for $9.99. That is a $20 - $30 dollar savings. I have an Amazon Prime account, which means I bought it yesterday at 4:00PM & received it today at 2pm for an additional $2.99 for next day air saver shipping via UPS.
You can find the deal here: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00AAKLMUC/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
There is no picture on the page, but I can confirm receiving the DuraBook, which is nice as it doubles as a removable device sleeve & has a handstrap on the back of the insert for easy reading in portrait. It attaches via Velcro, which allows for the device to sit in the stand/cover portion of the case in either landscape or portrait.
This has all of the camera & speaker cutouts with open access to the buttons, pogo pins & ports. It is a GREAT case & would be worth 30.00 in my opinion, which it normally retails for (the Note 10.1 DuraBook is 25.00 on sale right now) so it is an amazing deal for $9.99 USD. Prime Members get free second day shipping as it is Prime eligible, don't wait only 11 left!
BTW, I am in no way affiliated with Poetic. I am not receiving anything from them, nor have I ever reviewed or been asked to review any of their products.
As the Amazon page lacks pics, I will up a few for you to check out.

I found a review of the Nexus 7 Durabook. Is this pretty much the same case, resized/recut for the N10? If so, sounds like a great deal.

Hi, thanks for showing the case, it looks really good!
Just one concern, is the case material strong enough to hold the tablet in portrait mode when you are working on it, say typing or tapping on the tablet?
Some of the rotating cases (for ipads) that I've used in the past wobble quite a bit when in portrait (and to some extent in landscape mode as well) when you press on the tablet.
Thanks!

Really wish those straps inside the case were blue instead of red :/

Seems like they went out of their way to make this thing ugly. Good deal though.

Leather...?
Not a bad case for the money,,,I just wish they knew the difference between Leather and Pleather. Don' call it leather when it's clearly NOT!!!

Can someone enlighten me as to what the point of the strap at the bottom of the case is? Mine has a piece of velcro on the one side but not the other, and since there is no cloth on the inside of the case I had to use some Velcro circle stickies I had laying around in order to get it to stay shut...maybe I missed something?
Pictures of what I am referring to are attached.
