Found this browsing through ebay. Very tempting as the smart dock and mhl is sold out on samsungs site. What do you guys think?

I think this one looks pretty legit and decent quality. However the dock looks to form fit the phone whereas the official one from Samsung could take one with a case on the phone. If u don't mind taking off the case every time then this one isn't bad.
EDIT: in case you didn't see the other thread the official smart dock is available at Verizon

Trust me i know what you mean. I've been waiting to use my 50% off at Samsung too, but honestly I think they're waiting for that deal to expire before they say they're back in stock. Better to at least physically check it out at a Verizon store.

If you look at the ad description you will see it is advertised as having a removable insert so your note can be in a slim case. I have been pondering on getting this myself but hoped someone else would pull the trigger first
Anyone feeling brave?

I own this brand dock for my One X and it works great. It has the removable insert as this one describes and can house a small to medium sized case (One X has Micro USB on side).
I actually took it apart tonight to get the MHL to hdmi adapter out so then I can order the 5 pin to 11pin to get it to work.
it says that it doesnt connect to PC through the USB
does it?

KiDiGi Cover-mate HDMI Desktop Cradle For Samsung Galaxy Note 2
So I would be curious to know which one is true ???
http://ie.mobilefun.com/36734-samsung-galaxy-note-2-case-compatible-hdmi-charging-dock.htm
Looks the to be the same model and states sync, charge and hdmi connection.

Id actually like to see a mount/cradle type setup of this sort that you can mount the phone into horizontally. I want to use it in my vehicle but have yet to find a good mounting spot for the thing... I'd like to construct a custom bracket of some sort to hold the phone directly in front of the OEM radio, because I never really listen to the radio - only Slacker/MP3's... 2011 Mazda 3, non bose system, but not sure where to mount... If I found something that mounted horizontally, I could insert a bracket into the CD player and mount it to that.
whats the difference between the samsung dock and the allshare cast? except the obvious wireless
Anyone bought one yet and can confirmed it fit with a slim cover (bodyglove?)
Also curious about the fit. I have the dark grey TPU body glove case and want to know if this will fit.
Has anyone gotten this dock? Any thoughts?

Hey !
I have bought the USB Cradle with HDMI but it doesn't do anything when I tryed to plug my GN2 to a monitor.
Does somebody know a special parameter to change or something like that ?
Thanks

Looks good! I also like the fact you get the charger and the cables.
I bought this:

Apparently, this one can be used with the protective case on, but I really like the streamlined charging solution on the official charger... Probably gonna get that one as well
Wow, that looks really good. I may have to rethink going thats route. My homemade ideas are not working out.

I will take a few in a moment and add to the album. It was too dark when I mounted it last night. I do appreciate the auto brightness on the Tab, makes for an easy transition when driving during the day and night.

Thanks for the photo's.
It looks like it won't work for me and i think alot of others, you can't mount it for example coming up the side of a center console, judging by the shape of the arm? am i wrong has to be on a horizontal surface or windshield.

As described on their website, the headphone jack is accessible when the Tab is mounted. No audio out built into the mount.
The Tab stays clipped in at each corner. The mount grabs each corner. To insert or remove, you peel back each edge.

The design is a bit restrictive. Currently the arm is best suited for a windshield or dash via the adhesive base plate.
I plan on taking the mounting plate and fabbing my own bracket that will put the Tab in front of the stock head unit. It will have a slide mechanism so that the head unit can still be accessed if necessary.

For your information:
The german version comes without the base plate (got.mine today).
In Norway it comes without baseplate and without audio output !
It won't reach for a good position in my Range Rover with the stupid suction cup so I will have to fabricate some bracket for it instead.
The worst was it came without audio output.
I got both the car holder and HDMI desktop stand today and have ripped both apart.
Hopefully I will have time tomorrow to make some schematics of both.
And come up with a good solution so we can get audio output from the car holder as well.
Hmm, $70, it's a pricey wee beast. Looks like a good quality unit though. What're your overall thoughts of it?
The specs doesn't say anything about coming with an audio output, just that the standard 3.5mm connector is still accessible, are people expecting something more than this? (Bluetooth audio ala the Nexus car dock - which apparently doesn't work very well).

In my mind its too expensive just form a bunch of plastic.
Tought there would be an audio output via properitary connection so you are able to hide the cable and dont have to put on x connections to your tab with the looking of a cheap navi.
Really disappointed with this. The mount is by the way for the prototype SGT with a build in stylus on the right upper corner. They just dont change the layout, in my eyes needless ports that dont belong to such an expensive device. Other brands did a better job. Such as zenus with the leather case, the samsung original is bad build.
Yes, its really overpriced, even if you notice the quality of the mount. I didnt wanna wait for womething cheaper and didnt find any simple and cheap solution for this. And there seems to be noone selling a cable with two "angled" plugs in germany... Because the arm of the mount is very short, i have to use it in landscape-mode (makes no sense for navigation for example). Audio-out via proprietary port would make it perfect, as was mentioned above.
Anyways, in-car use of the tab as a navi and music player is really great. I synchronize my music from my desktop to my tab (fortunately i dont need any software for this), using mortplayer as player in the car. Works great, carmode automatcally deactivates suspension-mode with power plugged in.
Just received a Slacker G2 Dock ($15 with free S&H from eBay), plugged my Streak, and it works for charging and synchronization. I did not test A/V yet. A great, inexpensive and stylish alternative to a spare cable.
So this thing has the same PDMI connector? Does it work with a case on (i.e. Otterbox Commuter case)?
wow i might get two! Is there a regular plug for it or is the power from mini usb only?
wow very nice and cheap solution! Unfortunately, the seller shall only be sent after the U.S..
Wow this is good news! Let us know if the A/V functions work! And thank you for this find!
@ZodiacPhoto,
Could you please post a pic of the Streak in this dock and showing that it is charging. If the PDMI connector on this Slacker G2 dock matches the Dell Streak and it charges - you seriously just found a hidden jewel! So I am eagerly awaiting your reply so we can verify and order these bad boys
Thats that thing I was trying to remember the name of in the "Dell Please, we need a charging dock like this one" thread thanks!
Pity they don't seem to be available in the UK though.
Photos are here!

Hi ZodiacPhoto,
Thanks for the photo's like, though how stable/sturdy is the phone on the dock? The main body of the dock seem's quite low and no where near the phone, so it looks like there's no support for the phone and it looks like its hanging on the PDMI connectors....is that a correct assumption?
Thank you! Awesome! Does Streak feel stable in it? I am asking because there is not a lot of support in the back and I am afraid (after a while) the port maybe damaged under pressure of Streaks weight.
Looks like we're asking the same question
;0 Also do you by chance have any sort of case. I am usually have mine in a Commuter case so I wonder if the case may prevent it from connecting all the way.
I think one could glue something to support the back if necessary so it's not as big of a concern as the fitment with the case on.
Update on the dock
The dock has 2 outputs, labeled "Line out" and "Headphones (symbol)".
When I try to play music while connected to USB, I get the familiar message that SD card content is not available when connected via USB. I unplugged the USB cable and played some music. There is no signal on any of the two outputs of the dock.
---
Also, I can say that Streak is quite stable on the dock, the center of gravity is well within the area of the dock, and the dock itself, while small, is quite heavy - it feels like it may have lead weight inside, and bottom of the dock is covered by non-slip rubber.
@ZodiacPhoto,
Thanks again. Do you think Streak being in a case would not allow the PDMI connector of the dock to go all the way in and thus not charge the device (or even letting it stay in the dock)?
Streak in a case on the Slacker dock
I have to remove my Commuter case to fit the Streak on the Slacker dock.
However, it may be possible to fit an extremely "lean" case, which does not increase the dimensions of the Streak, if such case even exists.
Thanks for your prompt response. I was afraid that may be the case (no pun intended ). From the many high res pictures I was able to find on the web it looks like the bottom portion of the case (near the charging port) will prevent it from going all the way in.
Still at $15 - it's a very nice deal. I'll have have to learn how to remove the case quickly and without damaging the case

I was at CES this week and talked with a rep from Pro-Clip. The Nexus S car holders should arrive January 16th. No word on pricing yet.
Awesome news.
I'll reiterate the question I asked here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=899728
Is the headphone socket accessible when the phone is in the pro-clip??
Sorry - I didn't ask. I would be very surprised if that was covered. I have a contact there; I'll email and ask him.
I'll be very interested to know too. Thanks OP!
I'm sure it will be... I already ordered and have been running the fascinate model (because I can't live without my slingbox while driving) and although just a tad tight everything is accessible, charging plug & headphones.
I think they're all built the same aren't they... with the bottom portion open

jacksonj51: I'm actually talking about the active holder. It looks like your photo is showing the passive holder.
With the USB/charging port so close to the headphones socket, the design of the base of the clip is critical (http://www.samsungnexuss.com/wp-content/gallery/official/big3.jpg). Unless there is a special effort made to leave the headphones socket accessible, I fear it will be covered.

Purchased at Proclipusa. By far the best car phone holders around... I've tried alot. These fit perfect and the website gives the option to select the make and model of both your car and your phone.
I got the holder for the Fascinate because I didn't have the patience to wait for the official Nexus S holder.... it fits a tad too snug, I'd wait for their release of their nexus S holder as its supposed to be released in the next week or two
http://www.proclipusa.com/
Have these been released? Has anyone seen if the Active holder has a space for the audio jack?

Yes the fascinate holder as I said earlier is a tad too snug, I'd get the official Nexus S holder and there is no way you'll be able to use any type of skin for these because they fit absolutely perfect with no room to sprare.
Sure, there it is, but Brodit doesn't let you purchase products from them directly. And when I select "USA" as my country, it tells me the reseller is proclipusa.com, which doesn't carry item #512227 - the holder for the NS. Grrr.
I emailed ProClipUSA asking when they were releasing the holder for the Nexus S:
Thank you for your interest in our ProClip Holders. We do anticipate making one, however due to the large number of new products we are developing, we cannot give a specific date as to when this will be available. You will be notified by e-mail as soon as the Holder has been received at our warehouse and is ready for online ordering.

KiDiGi dock
I got tired of samsung taking forever to release a desktop dock, so I went and bought the kidigi and have been using it for a week now. I have to say the dock is amazing . It fits the phone perfectly and holds it in tight . My test for a good dock is if i can place the phone to charge when im drunk, and i have to say its a good dock. . I had a seidio and it was a pain getting the micro usb to line up.
maybe a few picture of the dock?

Sorry cant show you phone on the dock, i dont have a camera besides my phone.
Does the dock fit the phone very tightly or would there be room for a silicone case?
Looks good though. I wondered about mounting one of these permenantly in the car instead of using a brodit active holder

This fits really tight and no room for case. Would be a really good car mount, the phone doesn't move at all, but don't know about permanently mounting something to a car.

using this as a car mount is actually a good idea, just use some strong velcrow. but the downside is that you wouldnt be able to the 3.5mm headphone jack due to the design. what a pitty for people like me who use aux for audio
Does this dock cause the Nexus S to go into dock mode?
I have dock from Odds and Pods.
It looks exactly the same as one described in this thread but no KiDiGi label on it.
Few things which might be helpful for some.
Mine phone did not went into dock mode until I modified dock:

Dock working fine with Best Skin Ever attached - so there is some room for protection also.
I would not recommend this dock to use it in the car. Not in the place where I live.
If you have only smooth roads, no bumps at all - then yes - maybe. But your phone is not hold in docking station by anything but small USB plug.
Imagine what will happen with this on some bumps.
Consider buying this one for car instead:

Also I have a question to thread author.
Does your dock working OK in USB transfer mode?
Mine just showed up and I was pleasantly suprised of the build quality. Fits perfect.
I got the one with the spare battery compartment.
Best part about it is that it charges the phone, syncs usb, and charges the spare all at the same time rather than one at a time like some of my older versions i've bought.
If it only had an audio out jack in the back it would be the ultimate.
Ordered it here but can be found cheaper with some research: http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlineshop/online_shop_detail.php?pid=5692 showed up in 10 days

So the usb sync works, transfer files, on the one you got? Just want to make sure since the other person said it only charged his phone (unless I read it wrong).
Works perfectly fine.... They ship it with 2 different cables, 1 is obviously for data transfer and the other is for charging... you can tell because one is thick vs the other very skinny... so I hope whoever said it didn't work didn't get their wires crossed up!

Could you please tell us where you could find it cheaper ? Because, personally, I find that is has a very nice design compared to other alternatives, so I would really like to buy it. Preferably cheaper than 27$. So, again, please tell us where to find it cheaper. Thanks !
Also, on their site, it says that under DC and USB charging, the output is 500mAh. My Nexus S DC charger says 700 mAh. How is that going to affect the charging time ? Almost +1/3 of what it is right now ?
I also understood from other sources, that USB can only give a max output of 500 mAh, is that true ? So the only down-side for this dock is the 500 mAh DC output... it would've been better if it had 1A.

Can't help you out with the rest, but yes, USB ports can only output up to 500 mAh.

Bump. Does the phone enter dock mode?
Does this fit with the I9023 also?
So, where do you find it cheaper ?
Anyway, I found it on shop.brando.com (I think it's a replica of the KiDiGi model). Unfortunately, I can't post links here, so if you want to find it, do a search for "Google Nexus S USB Cradle" on their site. It's 18$ only for charging the phone and 25$ with a slot for charging the battery. That's compared to 27$ and 31$ respectively for those 2 from KiDiGi.
Also, apart from the KiDiGi models and these replicas, I've also found the chinese ones on eBay. Those are around 10$ each, but I don't quite recommend those. They also come with a 500 mA DC charger each, so there's nothing good here, opposed to the 1A charger that comes with the KiDiGi and those replicas on brando shop.
Hope this helps somebody.

Id like to know this as well.
Does it put the phone into Clock mode?

No, it does not enter dock mode. Tested on both ports.
I saw this posted on a Swedish website. Here are all the official Asus accessories for the Nexus 7.

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.

Mains Charger to Micro USB to POGO = Charge and Audio

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.

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?

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.
