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.

If you'd used the official s2 dock you wouldn't be asking that question! Awesome piece of hardware with fantastic integrated charger and audio out.

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

I just have a hard time believing that blue material is "sticky" enough to prohibit my tab from flying off there should I need to accelerate suddenly.
It's REALLY tacky. You can lift a bowling ball with that mount. Really.
Downside, that stuff is a grit magnet as well.

clingo makes products with same sticky stuff, i have couple of their products , it does get dirty and losses its "stickyness" but all you do is wash it with tap water and its back to the original sticky strength.

** tested the grip strength on the back of a sprint tab seems to work very well.
The mount shown has two adhesive pads so it should be fine
Would it destroy my nice leather Zenus if I tried mounting it?
Is it like the stuff those little gecko-tongue kids toys are made out of?

I think the scoche would work great. Overkill really. I bought this tiny mount and it works great for the galaxy tab. My got it with an employee discount is the only reason I chanced it. That stick'em on it is surprisingly strong.
I have the Scoche mount and it works great. The suction cup is made from the same sticky stuff and really holds itself and my Tab in place.
There is a warning included that it may discolor certain materials, so it is recommended to use it strictly on glass or with the included dash mount piece. I have mine mounted to the dash using the included piece (which uses 3m tape) and it's solid as a rock. Was kinda worried about it discoloring my tab, and the Zaggskin that I eventually added, but no problem with either one so far. Holds the tab really well.
I used one of those ratchet clamp style window mounts for an old PDA that I had and hated how it gripped the PDA. It would also lose suction on the glass and fall off, especially during hot days during the summer, and really cold days in the winter. The Scoche mount stays put and holds the tab much more securely than that old clamp mount did with the PDA.

Is this the same as the one your using? Is there enough of the sticky material to hold it tight?
Thats almost exactly like mine. And it sticks perfectly. I was a skeptic, but no longer. honestly it could hold the tab upside down if needed.
dugg67, where'd you buy your scosche mount? can't seem to find it anywhere except the scosche site.
Bought mine at Walmart.

OMG! The sticky stuff melted in my hot car and dripped down on my stereo buttons clogging them! I live in SoCal so it's not that hot! If you live in the US South West, don't buy this item. If you live in Alaska or Siberia, you'll have no problem with the sticky material melting and dripping.

i just bought one very similar to this at walmart for $20. i have the gs3 and i took of the side clips of the mount and i have the body glove tatic case which is a candy/gel caze and it sticks right to it. its ridiculous how secure it is and i highly recommend it. it is a very well made and designed piece. looks super clean also. the model of the one i have is:
IPH3GRR
though i cant find it online anywhere, only the IPH3GR which is different? the one i have is just like the one in the original post although the flex shaft is longer, about twice that judging from the pics. my kit from walmart consisted of this: http://www.scosche.com/consumer-tech/product/2097 with the exception that it also included the window mount.

The roocase is nice. I'm using it now. I good quality and durable, a bit on the thick side, it has multiple angle viewing for portrait mode, and will hold itself up in landscape too. Overall I like it better than any other cover available. You do have to unplug from power to open the case, this is very annoying. I I wish it moved the the plug to the side, but beggars can't be choosers.

I know that a company called Abas (do a google search for Abas Accessories if you're interested) will be having some cases for the NookColor in the near future. They will be similar to their Tabbed Folio cases for the iPad and have the kick stand built into the case for 2 different viewing angles. I am really excited - I've bought several notebook & iPod cases from them and they're beautiful cases.

It'll fit in the first one, but the leather across the top will cover the top half inch of the screen. You could possibly trim the leather to fit, probably not worth it.

I use a Spiderpodium by Breffo as a stand, the original works just fine and is smaller to fold up and take with you, cheaper as well than the huge tablet version. Also can work as a tripod for a camera, stand for cellphone, etc.

I also padded the back half of the ledge with foam strips (the kind you put on car speakers) to put the nook in between that and the lip so it is nice and sturdy.
Folds up decently well. I will have to see how it holds up to travel.

Thanks for the pic so we could see the device on a NC. Question, do you think two of the arms would be able wrap around a headrest bar in a vehicle? I saw a sample of that option in an amazon picture with a cell, but wasnt sure if possible with a larger NC?
Yep, the one in the picture is the smaller, orginal spiderpodium.
I'm using one I bought from Barnes and Noble that works pretty well and has a flip style with kickstand but after seeing the roocase I'm wishing I would have went with that.
Anybody have one of these from BoxWave?
There are zero reviews for it on Amazon. Looks nice, good price, and I want something w/ a kickstand.
Thanks.

Love how in the example pictures of this product, there is one Nook and its rooted.
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.
PDMI connector flush with the stand.

Switched on. shown in various views.
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

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 !!

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.

I am a loyal "tunebelt" fan and have used them since I had an HP Ipaq HX4700 about 8 years ago, I have an e-mail into them now asking what they have for the note 2. It will likely be their universal ab85 case but I will come back to this thread if/when I get an armband. i will also follow this thread to see what others come up with.
The items I see on amazon have a lot of plastic-y parts on the arm part, my tune belts have always been all neoprene with a plastic window, not the most "air flow" material. I cant bring myself to use one of these "packs".
Cant wait to develop the "note 2 farmer tan" lol.
I am waiting for my VZW Note 2 and I realized that for my kind of physical activities (Mtn Biking(Dirt Jumping specifically), Skiing, cycling) I am better off busting out my old iPod touch.. I dirtjump on my bike and I have broken 4 phones so far and I have learned my lesson.. I have an old iPod touch that I leave sitting in my car as my Music Hub with ~3000 songs on it that has turned into my "There is a possibility of killing this electronic device doing this activity" Device..
On my phones I use Spotify 95% of the time, but I figure I will just download a playlist of 200 songs I listen to most, on top of my already existing library and call it good.. If I am on the way to go ride, I can just kick up my hotspot and download music to the iPod then (less then ideal, but works)
Pros-
- I dont have to worry about breaking my pretty new N2.
- iPod is about half the size and the battery lasts 10x as long
- If I break my 6 year old iPod, I am not really any worse for the wear..
-Doesnt look like I have a cookie sheet hanging on my arm or in my back pocket..
Cons
- I cant use Spotify anywhere..
- Another device to manage..

HA! large phone joke. too easy. :laugh:
Does anyone else have any input on this? I really want to get a armband for this. I don't care how silly it looks. I get the last laugh while watching movies on my mini tv from my arm lol. I don't actually plan on watching anything but just having it secure on my arm rather then my pockets is what I am after.
i've been using one from ebay, seller named shimshop and the item is called "SAMSUNG GALAXY NOTE 2 II N7100 LTE SPORTS GYM RUNNING ARMBAND POUCH CASE COVER" and it works well. the only thing is that the headphone hole doesn't line up exactly with it, but you can simply fix that with a little cut with some scissors, the material doesn't rip more than what you cut, so dont worry about that.
Got this one for $5 shipped on Amazon.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B009VOISGY/ref=oh_details_o03_s00_i00
It recently arrived. Shipping took a little longer (2-3 weeks) than expected but it works fine. It's a little tight with a TPU case on so I had to take it out and slip it in bare. :good: The padding is sufficient for me.
17 - 31 days for shipping? Damn that's a bit too long for me.

I mentioned above an ebay seller who I recently bought my armband from, this armband came with a key slot, my key fits very snug.
I also bought the amazon one that kipghost linked. I bought this one first before the ebay armband. The amazon armband's velcro wasn't as secure as I'd like, but the phone does fit well without any tpu case. I ordered mine from the $0.01 +shipping seller. One problem I noticed was that my volume keys kept getting pushed while I ran, turning up the volume really high or off randomly.

Got this one for $5 shipped on Amazon.

It recently arrived. Shipping took a little longer (2-3 weeks) than expected but it works fine. It's a little tight with a TPU case on so I had to take it out and slip it in bare. :good: The padding is sufficient for me.

So I ended up buying this one, got it in 11 days, so quicker than I expected. Going to try it out tomorrow.
EDIT: The band popped loose on my first rep at the gym. I can see this thing maybe working for cardio workouts for me, but not lifting. I don't know how big my biceps are but if you buy this and you try it on and only have the end of the strap coming through the loop before finding back over, it's unlikely it will work for you too.

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.

Does it get tucked under tablet to keep it in? I have a BT case for a Xoom with a flap like that.
