I wonder if this case will fit? I may just have to order one and find out.
Link: www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.40971
UPDATE: Just ordered one... So we'll see.
UPDATE: Case just arrived. the case is nice and works well. Mine seem to have the right lower strap sown in a little off. The right strap doesn't fit as well as the left. Still I like it better some some of the other options I've seen and for the price I can't complain.
some pics here:
Note the case is a little lighter in color than it appears in the photos.

Sorry, I forgot to add the link. Fixed that.
it looks like it will work but it the headphone and power plug might be blocked
Hoping it will arrive next week. I'll update on how it works.

I also have the case crown case. I'm a freak about keeping the screen clean, and I can see how easy it would be for fingerprints to transfer from the screen to the inside of the case.
I've had it 2 weeks now and have yet to see the imprint on the screen that looks like the lining. Just keep the screen clean before putting it in the case. I keep a silk wiping cloth in the front zipper pocket just for that purpose.
Did you get it Yet? How is it?
Nope not yet.... I didn't ship until Jan 10th.
It may arrive any day now (I hope). I'll have to check with my post office to confirm they don't have it, then contact them to see what's going on.
DealExtreme has great pricing but....
It takes forever to get their stuff. My first order took over 30 days. There was some problems with that order and the second order was placed in November and I just got it last week. I hope you have better luck than me.
Good Luck!

Well, what do you know.... It arrived today.
Will link pics to the original post.
This is the case I'm using. It is a Targus case at Best Buy. Had to modify it slightly because the power button is covered. I used an Exacto knife and cut a small square to use a stylus to turn the power on. Another small mod I need to do is to figure out how to recharge the A7 without removing it; a slight inconvience but the case is very protective and secure for the A7. High quality leather. $29.99

Apparently the link does not work. So here is a picture of the Targus case for the Nook.
I got my from another site. It's a white case with keyboard. I really love the keyboard design. Really user friendly.

I bought a black keyboard case for my A7 tablet on eBay and it works!
My tablet was bought this month and the usb port works with the keyboard case. You have to bend the holders to fit the A7 since it's smaller I'm now waiting to get screen protectors for tablet (using my trimmed my iPad screen protector, will try the Galaxy ones and see if they fit).
I paid less for it - hxxp://cgi.ebay com/7-Case-USB-Keyboard-Epad-Apad-MID-Android-PC-USA-/250786642546?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item3a640c7a72#ht_5229wt_907
I´ve had the Crown Case since Thursday. Stop the search...this is the one. Fit. look and feel is pure greatness! Side pocket is perfect for spare Micro SD and earbud\mic storage. Perfection!
I'll do a more detailed review tonight and switch out the photos with better ones too.
First impressions: Holy crap this is huge!
It is very reminiscent of the commuter series for the HTC Hero (of course). However, this one feels a bit more "rugged".
The case has the standard plugs for the headphones and microusb ports. It also has the raised areas for the volume rocker and on/off button. The front is well protected and thick enough to not really have to worry about placing the phone face down.
It was much easier to attach than the Sedio Innocase! And conversely, it's a PAIN to remove (which is a good thing!)
It takes about the same amount of force to slide open the keyboard. It's borderline too hard for me.
Oh, the keyboard lights aren't completely covered either! Granted you still can't see them looking directly down at the phone, you can see them if you tilt the phone back a little.
My initial qualms are:
1) The case is slightly too long for the phone. The top of the case that is around the keyboard is loose. Not just a little, but it looks like it wasn't even meant for this phone.
2) Like the mini-usb plug on the Hero's commuter series, the micro-usb plug on the Shift's commuter series doesn't want to stay in.
3) Since the back side is beveled and it's semi-hard to slide out, it sometimes takes a couple tries because it keeps slipping out of my hands.
Nit-picks:
1) Backside cover is off-center (flash/camera/speaker aren't centered in their respective cutouts)
2) No silicone on the front so when it's face down it slides around easily (compared to the hero which had silicone bumpers on the front)

It's does a very good job of covering up the phone and not being loose.
Got mine today, as wizputer noted the mini-usb isn't snug enough to remain in the port. Otherwise, very impressed with the design and construction of the case.
got mine in today, very pleased. although it was a little bit of a b*^&h to put on. After getting it on I noticed the usb plug being a pain, and the power button seems to need a lil extra force to actually click, but other than that love it. I feel safe now
Good review, disappointed, love my Otterbox's for my EVO and HD2. The split covers though, Shift and Tilt (from experience), just do not seem to provide the same kind of coverage but I do not know what else they could do to make them better.

Actually you just have to know how to make it stay there's a little trick to it when you close it. You have to kinda pull the thing up a little bit and then slide it in and stays. That's how mine works anyways ..

I just always wiggle the flap into the port, best case by far would definately recomend. ORDER FROM OTTERBOXS WEBSITE, when it first came out I tried it from amazon (it was $10 less) but the expected shipping date was in june.
No I'm not using Tapatalk... I'm using the XDA Premium app, cause I got balls.
Be careful with the otterbox guys, dropped mine for the first time today and 3 of the 4 clips to hold the back on broke, making the case absolutely useless..... waste of 30 bucks!

+1 to that . They have like you said Replaced mine about 4x's. Never once asked for anything but my address. Best company ever . Have since bought Otter Boxes for all my Devices.
I got this case mid August, and about a week ago, I dropped it. While in free fall, the top of the case just fell off my phone and broke in half. Sad thing is, I dropped it from about 2 feet. But yes, I called it in, and they are sending me in another, just have to watch out for my phone a bit more! (At least I get to replace the screen protector, put it on kinda bad, XP
I've been waiting for week to get my materials to make the home made stylus, finally the most important piece arrived. This took hours to get it to work right. It was a lot easier to get a working stylus for an iPod Touch, but after some tinkering, screaming, sweating and fails I got a pretty good working one. Check out my youtube video (sorry for the bad quality, did on a digital kodak camera very baaad):

I just use a chop stick. Must be hundreds of them floating around my house of different styles, materials, points. Same at work just not so many. I hang on to one for a while, lose/misplace it and it'll take me a day or two to settle on another. No muss no fuss.
Quick question, can you please tell me where you got all the materials?

The most important piece, the conductive foam, I got it from ebay. Just search conductive foam, I got a 4" x 4" still have more than half left. I'm thinking that the wire and metal casing are unnecessary, so any pen or pencil casing should do. What I have discovered so far is that the Nook stylus I made requires a large surface, like you see in the video. I wanted it to be really thin at the beginning that's why it didn't work, since the NC screen isn't as responsive as we would all want.
Anyways, the wire I used, I got it from an old coaxial cable (TV cable). Also, I got the idea from this video, which is a lot more instructive than mine...I just wanted to test it in the NC:
http://youtu.be/4YE8rGuLCtU
I think im going to try a sponge before i get conductive foam.
Very nice! Did you tried to slim the tip of conductive foam?
What is the notebook software are you using on the video?

At first I was trying to get the tip to be the thinnest possible, so it would mimic a ball point pen, but apparently the LCD in the NC need a bigger surface to respond to touches. I was able to get a thin version working on an iPod Touch 3G no problem. I'm going to try to make a new following the video that inspired me, I just need a more flexible wire to make it. Anyways, the app I used is called Handrite
I'm not sure why you'd go to the trouble when you can get a stylus for a couple of bucks on Amazon...
Because of curiosity and creativity and inventively spirit?
These are what moves us, geeks, ahead. I did some styli myself and be proud of this.

This experiment cost me less than 2 bucks, since I used everyday materials around the house. The only thing I had to buy was the foam, which I still have more than half left, maybe for making more or using them for other stuff like transporting cpus xD
Edit: Oh and you might find the foam in everyday electronics too, like HDD casings, tv remotes, etc. So you could get a working (proven to work on NC) stylus for free.

it works and it was really easy to make
Yesterday I had my Nook sitting open on my desk, and plugged in my phone.
The cord dragged over the screen of the Nook, and the keyboard happened to be open. Everywhere the cord touched it tapped a letter.
I tried it again with the cord plugged in to AC, but not the phone...and nothing.
Plugged the phone back in, and was able to tap keys again using the cord.
Maybe we could get a battery-operated stylus that just runs power down to the tip .
I'm thinking triple-a battery, small insulated wire down to, then acting as, the tip, and simply return up to the other end of the battery.
No clue if this would be bad for the screen or not, but as long as it's a low level of power, can't see why it would be.
We have some very creative people here who have the skills to not only make something like this happen, but regulate the flow of power through the wire from the battery.
My thought is that since the screen isn't so great for a stylus on the Nook, maybe enhancing the tapping power of the stylus would help.
For anyone who has no clue what they are doing but wants to try anyways, DO NOT use exposed wire, and in any event i'm not responsible for what happens with the use/misuse/abuse of this information.
Any thoughts on this?
ETA:
Maybe a small triple-a flashlight would make a good starting base for this project, a lot of them go real cheap anymore. Just do away with the light itself, and replace it with a wire. You get a switch already built in and all that way.

Without the phone, there is no current flow on the cable, and no magnetic field around it, and so, no capacitance distortion.

Yea, this I didn't know until I found out by accident. I had always just assumed there was, but now know that unless something is drawing power it's in a static state.

That is the question that I posed. If no one else is curious enough to find out, i'll get around to this eventually.
I have a handful of pen-light flashlights floating around here, it would be a simple matter to replace the led with a wire and find out.
When I find time to solder one in i'll let you know how it goes. My job is taking up way more time then i'd like in my life at the moment, so who knows when that'll be.

If you replace the LED by a wire, you will get a short-circuit on the batteries, what means that even if it works as a stylus, you will get your batteries hot and discharged very quickly.
Not to say that is dangerous if the batteries get hot!
Another way would be apply the Ohm's Law and calculate a resistor to replace the LED, but I don't know if this idea (a powered stylus) would be an energy efficient circuit...

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.

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!

It's small, feels like a decent quality piece. It's glossy black with rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. It keeps the Note 2 supported nicely when it's dropped in. It's got a floppy rubbery insert that you can take out if you have a case.
One con is that a few times when I've yanked my phone out, the rubber piece has either partially or completely come out. My advice would be to decide on a case of not and, if you leave the rubber insert in, put a drop of hot glue or something to keep the insert in place.
See pics below. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, it works with a slim case for me without even taking the rubber insert out. When you take the rubber insert out, there's a good 0.5-0.75cm around it, particularly the edges. A case with a big beefy back probably would not fit.

Sheesh guys. Think a little more outside your own world.
I have this dock connected to my computer at work. I walk in from a meeting, drop the phone in the charger (instead of setting it down, picking up the cable, jamming it in, etc) and it's immediately mounted as a drive on my computer and is charging anytime I'm at my desk. Need to run to a meeting? You just pick it up...no fussing with cables.
Nope, no spare battery. Surprise, most people don't need one. I spend half my day working at my desk, meaning my phone is charging half the day. In fact, I don't even feel like I ever "charge". It's just sitting in its stand. I never need to plug it in at home.
Nope, no USB or HDMI. Surprise, 99% of the people that use this phone care about that, so why pay for a $100 for a dock with it (that's the wrong color, BTW).
20 bucks? Wow, they saw you coming a mile off.
It's the same dock as this, which is in black or white.

Yes, it works with a slim case for me without even taking the rubber insert out. When you take the rubber insert out, there's a good 0.5-0.75cm around it, particularly the edges. A case with a big beefy back probably would not fit.

Thanks man, that's the piece of info I needed. Ordered. I've got the Samsung TPU case, will report if it fits when the dock comes in. If it doesn't fit, I'll fix it up with some polymorph plastic.

Just received this dock and have been using it for a couple of days.
Only $10 -- a cheap alternative so some of the 40-50$ options.

It's small, feels like a decent quality piece. It's glossy black with rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. It keeps the Note 2 supported nicely when it's dropped in. It's got a floppy rubbery insert that you can take out if you have a case.
One con is that a few times when I've yanked my phone out, the rubber piece has either partially or completely come out. My advice would be to decide on a case of not and, if you leave the rubber insert in, put a drop of hot glue or something to keep the insert in place.
See pics below. Let me know if you have questions.

Just picked one up, and thanks for sharing man :good:
While their prices aren't always the best, I do like Smartphonepedia's video reviews on youtube (the full shows, not the 30 second blips) and the guys there are very pro-android and know their devices. I would throw business at them vs a random guy on ebay any day.
May be ordering one of these. Thanks for the tip!

Just bought 2 of the $9.99 ones. I'll try to post my thoughts when received but it will be in a long time 14 to 30 days of expected delivery.
i'm thinking of getting this for my note http://www.mobilefun.de/36639-samsung-galaxy-note-2-dual-dockingstation.htm, this dock also charge an extra battery.
sorry for the german website, you can click flag above to change into uk/us site for mobilefun.
I got the dock in the OP this past Friday, and so far so good. Very nice looking, no cheap feel to it, and the Bodyglove case fits perfect on the dock. No complaints over here folks :good:
Nice find OP. Rough crowd lol.

You can just plug the phone into the dock without having to pick up the charge cable and plug it into the phone. Same for removing it from the dock. Since we have to charge the phone everyday, I would say the dock has a value.
