Finally ordered one!!!
not cheap, actually very expensive but if you have used brodit before i think you will agree they are the best docks avalible especially if you dont want them on your windscreen and want the phones held securely.

ive ordered all my previous brodits from them and they have always been top notch.
i will get a few pics up when it arrives.
just a heads up
Damn that's expensive tough
Any word on when it would be available?
I placed my order two days ago and received an email indicating backorder status. I ordered mine to be shipped next day air so hopefully I will have it soon. I can't handle not having a car dock.
I totally agree its very expensive. But I know it will work as advertised unlike other docks ive had nightmares with (1 broken screen, 2 phones had usb ports broken. 1 cracked windscreen when I tryed to remove a sucker when it was about minus 5).
Ive also selected next day. From experiace with the hox it was here within a few days when on back order. I will kepp you posted.

If you're in the US, you can go to Proclipusa.com it looks like you can order these for immediate shipment.
As you said they're not cheap, but these look like really high quality mounts and docks.
Just ordered mine from proclips. I have bought one for almost every phone I've had. Hopefully it arrives quickly I feel lost without somthing to slide my phone into every time I jump in my truck. Best vehicle dock I have used by far.

I'd much rather see Samsung make one just like the original note. I prefer my gps in landscape mode, and haven't seen a car dock with this option yet.

The brodit allows both!. You just twist the dock to your desired orientation.

I ordered mine from proclipusa yesterday and got an email today saying they are on backorder... Hopefully it won't be too long. Ordered two of them and one vehicle mount. Ouch... BUT, one of those setups with a Note II is a badass GPS device imo. Also, as soon as they come out with radios with BT supporting Apt-X, I'll be able to have an awesome CD quality music source, sans wires...
Proclip thats who I ordered mine thru and it's backorder 1-7 days according to my email.

I loved my ProClip mount for my Garmin iQue, it's a quality piece. My only decision is where do I want to mount it? I've got a Toyota Camry, I'm leaning towards the angled mount, but that console with tilt looks good, too.
ETA Back after unloading a total of $104 - about three times as much as the first one I purchased. Sheesh. It's a good unit, though.
I ordered arkon slim grip for galaxy note and it still works for galaxy note 2.

I too have had excellent service from Brodit, no problems there. I currently still using Brodit Note 1 holder. The micro USB is still in the same position if not a big awkward to locate straight away. Because the Note 2 is slightly narrower than its predecesor it does rattle round in the holder a little bit but is perfectly usable.
Does the Note 2 have a car dock mode that can be enabled?

I'm not sure what the best way to enable it is, but I just use CarHome (I think that's what it's called). When I plug it into the car, I just launch the app which takes literally zero seconds. There may be better options though.
This is my first ProClips purchase and I've got to say, it's an out-freaking-standing mount. Very solid and the range of motion is great. Worth absolutely every penny as long as it doesn't become loose in tolerances or anything. As long as it endures like it should, I'm glad I purchased this. I ordered mine on the 5th and got the backorder notification as expected. Shipped on the 8th, arrived on the 9th, and was at home as I returned from picking up the phone. Great timing.
the only problem i can see is it doesnt look like u can adjust it for cases.

Nope and that sucks a bit, but usually the components that make a mount adjustable are ones that can detract from the stability of the setup, so I'll take it. If you've got a difficult case to remove like a Defender, it's going to be a bit more of a hassle.... I am just buying a Body Glove case for very basic protection, and should be easy enough to remove/replace when needed.
But yeah the fact that it won't accommodate a case will be a deal breaker for many I think.

"Item number 521432 is not currently in stock, but it is scheduled to arrive early this week; once we have it since we ship from Madison WI shipping to you would take 1 business day.
This holder is designed with the bare phone in mind, so unfortunately it will not fit with even a very thing case."
Kind of disappointed because I was going to jump on this so long as it fit with the Samsung flip case.

Saw something similar on eBay, isn't the "claws" way to big? looks like you could hold a brick with that.
I got the above in car mount as part of the modaco superetrader offer, it's very good and versatile considering the price but the longer arm is almost too wide, so it's a bit fiddly when mounting the brackets on the short sides of the tablet, and there seems to be no way of mounting the brackets on the long sides of the tablet without them pressing the power and volume buttons

I have the RAM holder for my old Samsung Q1U's, I found that the SGT w/ the soft case on it wedges rather nicely into it w/o risk of falling out. Because the Q1u is longer than the SGT, the mount does stick out about half an inch on each side.

Doesn't look like it has anything to hold it in place, so it's more of a perch than anything, any sudden acceleration and it looks like the tab could fall off.
Shame if that's the case, as it looks good otherwise.

NOT BAD.. seems like it will work with a gel case, im using the ebay one i bought for my ipad and it works great just tends to cover the volume buttons on the case depending how i place it on there. , im still debating if getting the one by slipgrip is gonna be worth it.. depending on if there a holster case that comes out later down the road, i have a slip grip mount for my otterbox defender case on my hd2 and its perfect so im sure the slip grip one for the tab with a gel case would fit perfect just worried if i switch cases later down the road then can't use the slip grip anymore.
heres the slip grip

The case is displayed on their wbdsite. Looks like smaller version of the good Ipad case.
Had a yoobao case on my sensation. The case is actually flame resistant and honestly had a great fit and look.
Looks like the case is out:
http://www.aliexpress.com/product-f...Case-for-google-nexus-7stand-wholesalers.html
$30 with free shipping. A much better deal than the Official case for the same price.
also available on eBay for $5-10 more.
Has anyone used Aliexpress or Alibaba? I think they're mostly direct to retailer/wholesaler shop out of China.

oh, and does anyone know if these will have the velcro strip on the inside to keep the flap that holds the tab in place from slipping out? I LOVED the Yoobao case for my iPad, except for the lack of this feature.
I looked a lot before I settled on the Yoobao case for my iPad and haven't seen a nicer case. Their N7 case looks like the same design which is great. The only thing about my iPad case is that it is a version 3 meaning it took 3 tries before they ironed out the issues. Version 3 of the iPad case corrected some issues with the smart on features as we'll as add magnets to hold the front flap in place.
I suspect that this N7 cover may not have the smart on/off feature yet and if they follow foot steps of the iPad they will probably produce a v.2 in short time with the smart on/off. At $30 plus, I'd wait til they produce one with the smart feature.

It's actually $30 with free shipping, so just flat $30. I think it's a much better deal than the official case which costs the same (if you add shipping).
I'm actually assuming that they've incorporated all the things that they learned from the various versions of the other cases and implemented them into the first version of their newer cases. I know that my Yoobao ipad case had the smart on/off but not the magnet to keep it closed. It didn't fling open though. The one feature it lacked was the thin velcro strip to keep the flap that kept the ipad in the case from slipping so it constantly needed readjusting. Did yours have this?
I just ordered one of these from mobile fun.co.uk

My Version 3 Yoobao iPad case did not have the velcro to hold down the flap, however, I never found the iPad moved around and needing adjustment.
Your assumption about Yoobao incorporating all the things they learned from other cases for the N7 case is sort of right. They actually already have a Revision 2 case for the N7 with a "fixed Sleep/Wake" and Magnetic Closure.
The review from mobile fun.co.uk seems to indicate the case puts the tablet asleep when folded all the way over. Waiting for reviews from here before I take the plunge.
I've just ordered this from the kevikev ebay store. It's cheaper to do that with shipping than to order here in UK. Here's hoping the version 2 has the magnet issue resolved. The case looks very nice.
I'm having some difficulty identifying a stand that matches my requirements. Been Searching a lot but haven't found anything perfect yet. Most are too big and not pocketable.
What I am looking for:
-Very small and light, but sturdy. Preferably pocketable easily.
-Resistant and fairly stable to hold the phone on the food tray on airplanes.
-With some angle adjustment if possible, but around 45 degrees should be good enough.
-Capable of holding phablets and phones (Note II, Galaxy S2), no need to support Tablets.
-If it can hold a Note 2 in a case or with an extended battery, that is a plus, but not essential.
-Able to pass airport security checks (if in your pocket).
-Can be bought in EU (or from somewhere else with fast delivery)
I checked several but most of them look either too large (made for iPads) or too flimsy. Some are not adjustable at all and others have a layout that cannot be pocketed.
This one transforms into some sort of USB Pen and looks interesting, but I'm unsure if it can hold a Note 2 (in the right angle).
Anyone has this one?
Or can suggest any other models?
Thanks
The official stand/battery charger works. It holds well in turbulence.

step 1 - find an old audio cassette case.
step 2 - open the case all the way back and place on a flat surface.
step 3 - put your device on/in it depending on orientation.
it works surprisingly well.
For the best value mutli-purpose holder, see post #9 of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2118979
In case the suction cup does work on the airplane tray, you can lower the phone down to sit on the tray directly.
For a simple device, this one http://www.tinydeal.com/one-hand-adhesive-washable-ring-holder-stand-for-mobile-phone-p-58445.html works well too. But the ability to adjust the angle is very limited. This is also a poor man's Flygrip. This device stick to the phone by a sticky pad, you can attach/detach it to and from the phone repeatedly without leaving any mark on the phone. One little trick. Wash the sticky pad with warm water,shake off the water and attached it to the phone. It adhere to the phone surprisingly well.

Ahaha, I see what you mean. But it works best for portrait. I want to use it in landscape for movies... there's less grip that way and it will probably fall off in a plane.
I just use a dollar bill (or any kind of bill actually) and origami a stand: http://pockethacks.com/how-to-build-your-own-phone-stand-from-a-dollar-bill/
It works well, very sturdy, and once you're done, you just pocket it away.
Or better yet, get a case that has a built-in kickstand

I am still using both credit card size stands to this day (think about four years). Absolutely love it...so thin...and adjustable. Serves me REALLY well on business trips (used it w/ N1, HTC Sensation, Note 1 & 2).
Think you mentioned you were currently in Europe? Not sure how long it would take to get to where you are, but it wouldn't hurt to contact them?
I actually found out that good old Lego is very suitable for building a stand.
I usually find a useless hotel card or a any expired credit card to use as a temporary kickstand.

For some reason the link above continues to redirect to m.cnet which is broken, even after clearing cache. Combination of cnet, adobe, android, dolphin (for having flash support but turning it off with no user override) and the internet as a whole, sux.

The one thing I used to use as a kickstand is a good ol business card holder. I just happened to find an unused one at my former workplace and it works perfectly. Granted its not adjustable (maybe adding a few business cards for thickness to prop it forward more could do the trick) but its perfect for my phone. Its a black metal mesh kind but heres thr link for it.

there is newer version out now. it's simular, but has a few changes. How you use it and what it does remains the same.
ZDNet just did an article on a couple weeks ago: linky. I found it all over the net. Amazon has it too. Finding it at $5 like I did, well someone else did and shared the link, will probably be more difficult.
I don't know how well it works with an extended battery case, but I have the icarpus stand, it works quite well:

By the way, the stand you posted in your original post is horrible.
I own it, and It completely can't handle the galaxy note's size.

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those? (I currently just have a sleeve I keep mine in that slides into a pocket in my shoulder bag, but I think a case/cover might be better.. less parts to have to deal with. Lol)

The cheap Poetic case can be found here: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-StrapBack-Protective-Function-Manufacturer/dp/B00AAKLDN8.
I hate cases that cover the bezel. This one fits the bill, has the magnetic on/off, and does well as a stand. (side rant: I never understood manufacturers who place the inside surface of a cover on a table when in stand mode. Great way to pick up all sorts of debris and possible scratches. This one doesn't do that, thankfully.)
I'm happy with it. Looks sleek when closed. One potential caveat : it will have that new car smell for a week or so. Didn't bother me, but may some. I would have been happy with this case for 4x the price.
By the way - While I highly recommend this for the HD+, I just as highly don't recommend it for the HD. Given the way the HD is made, it will have possible problems.

Cheers for the heads up on this Just ordered the 360 degree HD+ case and matte screen protector.

Ahh OK. Hadn't really noticed that one for some reason. I had been looking at these: http://www.amazon.com/Poetic-Slimline-Portfolio-Manufacturer-Warranty/dp/B00B20N9XW Which, as you you mentioned have you putting at least part of the inside cover against the table. While the only time I'll probably be using the stand feature is at work.. those break room tables can definitely be nasty at times.
Actually now that I look at it, I remember why I'd skipped over this one, there seemed to be several complaints on Amazon of this cover damaging people's Nooks??
The Nook HD version can damage your device. The HD+ one is fine.

Really disappointed in the Lautner case. Adds a lot of bulk and not anywhere near as light as I expected. Luckily it was only £5,the original £35 is daylight robbery.
Thanks for the heads up, picked up two USB cables and chargers for less than the price of one (planned to get one anyway and handy having a spare).
they don't ship oversea (from B&N-UK-website to France/Belgium/Netherlands...)
They do from B&N-US-website, but the prices are higher and the shipment cost also (which is logical: US -> EU)
I've just ordered a Nook HD+, to start reading/try annotating texts on a tablet, thanks to their current low prices (I had to look for a place shipping overseas). It's a pitty I can't do the same with the accessories. Well, I'll have to look further for those. Or maybe see if no one I know is going to the UK anytime soon

Lol. Yeah. I was kinda wanting to go with the Groovy (in blue).. like having the option to use it as a stand for video and reading on breaks. Guess I'll have to check out some of the Amazon ones. Only thing I noticed on most of those is they all seem to have that frame around the sides of the screen.. not sure if I'd like that. Does the auto sleep thing work ok with those?

Aaaand then there was one. Thanks for spotting that @adam_ky ! Sure beats the $32 "clearance" one I found at Wal-Mart. Lol
I'd been watching eBay and Amazon hoping for just such a find but since eBay's search ignores the "+" I found myself using 9 in the search terms to narrow it down.. this one flew right under the radar. Had $18 in my PayPal account from Ebates so this one will be free!
Nice.

Glad to help. I have found ebay to be the best solution when searching for a good deal on a case. I only have the hd not the plus but i really like the groovy case looks good and works nice. I hope you like it.

I'm liking it a lot actually. Works good, not a ton of options for angles, but you only really need two anyway, ya know? I love the auto sleep/wake feature too.. the cover keeps it from coming on in my backback and draining the battery down. And it looks very nice, not cheap and plasticy.
eBay is definitely my first stop, then Amazon, then from there I go poking around the different sites .. but I'd say 99% of my online purchases are either from eBay or Amazon.
Why UK only?
Can someone buy me some things and ship them to Germany?
Bought the T-Mobile S6 yesterday and went looking for the keyboard case. The store did not have it.
I noticed all the best buy stores in my area did not have it. Amamzon shows 1-3 months shipping.
Yes I can order online, but I don't see the case available in the shop Samsung app at all.
Just made me think, with all the bad reviews, maybe they are going to release an updated version.
Could just be wishful thinking..lol.

Still available on Samsung UK.
I spoke to someone on their live chat the other day who said there are currently no plans to change it.

Ahh well... Wishful thinking..?
I haven't got mine yet, I held off at first because of the long shipping delays. But the other day it was about $50 usd off on Amazon and "only" 2 weeks to ship so it's on the way now. Design looks fine to me, I think I understand the limitations enough going in but I shall find out soon.
I did just receive my Keyboard case from Samsung.US. It was on back-order for 4 weeks.
I am using this now for 1 week and it sticks really well. No issue at all. I did not have to clean the back of my tablet or anything.
I also removed it several times and it did stick really well. Also after I but it back.
I have no issue at all and am very happy with it.
Maybe they did change something?
So the Amazon delivery estimate has been saying a few months, but it was at my door within a week of ordering, so I would recommend to go ahead and place the order.
As for the case sticking, I've had no problems either. The instructions also clearly state the back needs to be stuck on and left for an hour to adhere properly, so keep that in mind. Also I would clean the surface of tablet just incase before applying unless Its brand new like when I applied mine...
I wish there was a redesign. The body case seems to un-stick randomly and it provides not protection around the sides nor does it keep the screen's edges protected with a "lip".
Otherwise, if someone would make a case that would cover at least 3 sides of the tablet and leave just enough of the side with the keyboard pin connector exposed to attach the keyboard, that would be great. Either that or that side of the tablet is a flap that can be opened to attach the keyboard.
I purchased a $6 silicon case for every day use since I mostly just use the Tab S6 at home sitting in my recliner. But, I wanted the keyboard for those times that I didn't want to swipe everything.
However, the back piece of the keyboard case just doesn't impress me since it's not an easy auto-on/auto-off in any respect. So, I've been considering getting another silicon case that I can attach the keyboard case back cover to, then cut the silicon case just enough to allow the keyboard to attach.
So, what do you guys think? Will the keyboard case back cover's stickyness adhere to silicone better than the back of the tablet?

It looks like the silicon clear case works.

Samsung will never have the integrity to do a redesign for a product accessory, especially a device in their tablet lineup that they don't give two ****s about.
Hello ,
I have the book cover Galaxy Tab S6 by Samsung , it's perfect , finally ! I don't buy cover Samsung for my Tab S4 , Spen outside , it's a big problem ! I buy on Amazon a simple cover to have Spen inside , it's better to go outside with my Tab S4.
