Has anyone found a descent third party car windshield mounth for the Galaxy Tab yet?
Here is one.
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
Attached is the one Samsung shop gave me free with my galaxy tab and they said the desktop dock also coming soon and they will give me one for free as well .
exact one also on youtube

Aren't the side bits just fairly hard foam? Would it be possible to cut out grooves where the buttons are to stop it pressing on them?

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.
wow

Scosche do one as well: http://www.scosche.com/products/sfID1/337/sfID2/370/productID/2014
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.

That blue stuff you see is INCREDIBLY sticky, but leaves no residue when it releases. That Tab won't be going anywhere unless there's one hell of a frontal impact on the vehicle (or you own a Veyron with a strap-on rocket booster).

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

seems like they sell two types with case or without and a mount that goes on ram mounts.

Hey guys
I tried looking it up anyone know any good dock and other accessories that fit nexus s with a case (the really thin feather one)?
b ump
Anyone try either of these ??
This might work with a case
http://www.ebay.com/itm/Sync-Charge...ccessories&hash=item43ad96c95f#ht_2842wt_1140
This should definitely work.

Dock is a problem
I don't really think that you need a case. You can always change the back cover of your nexus s from time to time. And the screen is very good, mine doesn't have any scratch. Take a look at this link:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/NEW-GENUINE-ORIGINAL-HOUSING-BATTERY-BACK-DOOR-COVER-SAMSUNG-NEXUS-S-i9023-/160697790437?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_0&hash=item256a55afe5#ht_1248wt_1037
About the dock, nexus s do not have a multimedia dock like Motorola atrix, for example. The dock only charges and holds your phone. Even this being said I have a dock just like the one in the link bellow. It's good to have at work, you always have your phone charged.

I bought a cheap dock. My nexus s almost fitted with the case on. Took it to myself to disassemble the dock, heat the region around the port and move it slightly and angle it a tad differently. After letting it cool and putting back some hot glue it fits perfectly. ;-)
I'm looking for a way to attach the Nexus 7 to my fridge or to my kitchen wall, to be used with cooking apps, kitchen timers, etc, without taking up precious counter space.
I found a product called Hedgie:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/HEDGIE-Univ...905?pt=LH_DefaultDomain_3&hash=item43b2aaadd9
But $17 for a piece of Velcro seems exaggerated. Anyone know of a better solution?
Get the cheapest TPU case you can buy and attach adessive velcro on the back and on the fridge. Easy as pie.
Or... you can buy a sheet of magnet plastic and glue it to the case and then you don't have to glue anything to your fridge.
I agree with the above post. I always buy a few tpu cases to use for special projects around the house. One word of advice though... Before you adhere a magnet to the Nexus 7 make sure you know where the auto off-on feature is located. If you accidentally glue a magnet under it it will effect you nexus 7 turning on and off.

If you have a glass splashback, you could use a car mount and attach it to the glass. Just tried this with my exomount and Galaxy Nexus, assume it would work the same with the N7.

That should work well on the undersides of cupboards and large enough tiles too, depending their surface. I'd say a car mount would the best idea.

If you have an old 20GB hard drive lying around, the magnets in the old 3.5" drives are really strong.
You might want to try what I did with my phone, to attach it to the bottom of my monitor when I'm at my desk.
Take the magnet and the piece of metal that it's attached to and bluetack this to your fridge. Then cut the bottom flat piece out of a tin can and bluetack this to the inside of the Nexus's back cover (I am guessing that there is a suitable flat area).
If you want it attached for the long term than use something else more permanent than bluetack on the fridge.
OP - I am also looking to wall-mount my Nexus 7.
So far, the best options I have seen are:
1) TPU Case with PadTab (Link to PadTab HERE)
2) Wall-Mounted Tablet Dock (link HERE).
Did you already decide how to mount your N7?
Kind of a dead thread, but if anyone else is looking for a wall mounting idea, I'm looking at a couple of these: http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004Z88WSK/ref=ox_sc_act_title_2?ie=UTF8&psc=1&smid=A29AY3J0MGBUKJ

I got 2 sets of these when they first came out on some special intro deal and paid $20 delivered. For what they are, they work well enough. Just realize that is simply a pair of cheap plastic holders you glue to whatever surface you want. You only get 1 orientation and size depending on placement. Installing them level and at the correct width is up to the installer
The pad tab from the previous post to your stuck on a TPU case would give more options albeit at about twice the cost, 15 vs 20 + 8 (or more) for TPU case.

lmao. I use HDD magnets too. Guys are crazy strong and thin = perfect. I used 2 for a LCD drawing note clip board thing and it almost pulls the fridge over (not quite but you know what I mean).
For the Nexus, I would use 1. Glue it to a TPU case and done.
This probably the one you are looking for, it's a specific kitchen mount for Nexus 7, i got it on Independence Day, it's doing 20% discount promo again now, good time to get one.

Love the S cases been using them on every phone since the EVO3D
Any problems with charging?
I have a similar case and you have to take it off in order to charge as the bottom bit extends the length of the phone and the micro USB connector can't form a secure connection.

Nope no problem here. I did watch somebody do a video review of a similar case and his cut outs didn't look as precise as this one so maybe you have a similar case to his but this one gives me no problems at all.
I bought the same one on ebay for 3 bucks. Great case for the money.

exactly what i'm using now, only £2 from UK seller on ebay. includes a screen protector and a mini stylus lol
1 thing i like to add is the grip on the side is very useful!

You can use finger nail clippers to make the hole bigger if you need to (I've done this before with other TPU cases). This case looks nice but I need more protection on the corners in case my phone gets dropped.
I got exactly the same case, but in black.
Decent for the amount paid for it...
I picked up the version with the kickstand. Pretty sweet so far.

The Samsung keyboard is just a horrible design. The keyboard itself has a nice feel, but the way it attaches to the tablet and that backing that attaches to the tablet, it's just an accident waiting to happen. Mine was so glued to the back of my tablet I though I was going to bend the tablet getting it removed and in the end I had to use a plastic guitar pick to work it apart.
So I found this aftermarket keyboard (and case) on Amazon today:
https://www.amazon.com/Keyboard-Touchpad-Detachable-Wireless-Bluetooth/dp/B07X3D5H4R
Looks ideal to me. Going to take Samsung's keyboard back today.
I also picked up this case:
https://www.amazon.com/Infiland-Multiple-Samsung-SM-T860-Charging/dp/B07X1J2Y5Q/
I'm very pleased with it. I like that it folds over the end. A lot like the original Galaxy Tab S case that I had and that I really liked. Except this one protects the tablets edges and corners better.
I had one of those for the s3, the issue though they are nice keyboards is the battery doesn't last unless you turn it off constantly when not in use and you need to charge separately. With the s6 I want something that keeps the s-pen in place as well and all these cases rely on the magnet(poor design from samsung). I like the back kickstand piece, tho I agree the keyboard should have better attachments(better magnets and and a snap).
Keyboard case
Hi ChrisDos
If you have already bought the keyboard case with touchpad, kindly share your feedback on the same. Planning to buy one to go with my tab s6.

I actually came here to ask about that exact keyboard case. I also have the OEM Samsung keyboard case, and I actually like it (I'm using it to type on right now), but want some options with different style cases, since the OEM case isn't very protective, and I just like to switch it up every once in a while. Also the flexibility to move the keyboard away from the screen when I type would be nice sometimes, and i can use it with other bluetooth devices, such as my Note 10+ when I'm using DeX.
And yes, the OEM case is stuck on almost too well. Others complained about it not sticking...well, after about a day, I noticed it was just SLIGHTLY off center with the camera lens. It didn't hurt anything, but my OCD kicked. Holy shirt, I almost broke the hinge prying it off. I actually heard the hinge pop, and thought I had just broken my $180 case.
How do you like the aftermarket keyboard and case? How does the typing and the trackpad compare to the samsung version? Any complaints?
The only thing I think I would miss would be the kickstand from the Samsung case. I'm a police officer and can actually hang the tablet from my steering wheel with the Samsung kickstand and type reports (obviously not while I'm driving, LOL). I also use it as kind of a handle to hold the tablet in portrait mode when writing notes with the S-Pen or just surfing the internet.

First, thanks for being a first responder. Not enough people appreciate how hard your job is. Thank you.
As for the keyboard, I've very happy with it. Actually has a better typing experience than the Samsung keyboard. The keys have a scissor switch underneath. I found the case a bit too thick with the keyboard in there, but it was very well protected and there was a good gap to protect the screen. I'm carrying a USB-C to USB-C cable with me and I can use it to charge the keyboard from the tablet if necessary. Only down side to the keyboard is mine has a slight twist in it because it is so thin and it's made of plastic. Does not affect typing for me at all.
Since the keyboard can be separate from case, I'm actually using this case with the keyboard:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07X1J2Y5Q
There is enough room with the case for it to lay flat and for me to type just fine.
Over all, I much prefer this setup over the Samsung design.

Thank you, I appreciate that.
I was actually considering that same idea...USB C to USB C to charge the keyboard on the go when needed. The Tab S6 battery is big enough, I don't think it would greatly impact battery life for me.
And I actually have that same Infiniland case. Bought it as a temporary solution to protect the tablet until the keyboard case arrived (though as i said, it doesn't really offer much protection).
I think you've convinced me to pull the trigger. Now...black or grey...Hmmm....

There is no button for Dex on the keyboard. I just touch/click the icon on the screen. I think it's also possible to have Dex launch on it's own once it detects the physical keyboard as I think I remember turning on that option in the Dex settings.

So I want the "case" half of the keyboard case. I won't use the keyboard at all. I also don't have an issue where I'd need to protect the screen. The reason I want that case part 8s because of the angles we can have the tablet, could you tell me how well that kick stand works? Thanks mate

Each case is similar. The keyboard case though has a few slots it more or less wants to be put in. The Infinland case has grippy feet on the bottom to let you put it at many angles.
Have you noticed any issues with the S Pen while using this case? It seems like all the other third party keyboard cases I've seen have magnets in them that can pull the pen a little in certain spots.

Samsung's Keyboards are terrible and over priced. When I got my Tabs4 this is what I did. Got The Samsung Book Cover without Keyboard. Then I bought an Illuminated Logitech Keyboard and Mouse which have been excellent. Both are Bluetooth and have no problems. Got my S6 coming in tomorrow and planning on using Keyboard and Mouse with that as well. Both can control up to 3 devices.

Well, the big advantage of the samsung keyboard cover is the integrated keyboard solution... I don't want to run around with 3 seperate items . I do find it to work pretty decent and pleasantly...
Do agree it;s (way) overpriced though. Then again, spending even more on those seperate devices doesn't sound like the greatest solution for me...
Yeah I guess it depends what you use it for. I don't have a computer anymore so In the Morning I surf the Web and it really nice to have the seperate keyboard and mouse. And they can hold a charge for a week or two depending how how much you use em. Then when I go to work I just take the Tab so I can watch Football and Movies.
But really that keyboard is only a little bit wider than the tablet. It's not a full size keyboard but it's much nicer to type on. Just sharing my experience and what I use. Everyone will be different.

It charges with a USB-C cable. Keys are not back lit.
I've bought one off of eBay for £20 - I only got it today, so haven't had a lot of time to test it out, but it does seem pretty good. For £20 I thought I couldn't go to wrong. The only problem I've noticed so far is some of the special characters aren't where they should be, but that's not particulary a deal breaker for me. The backlight is pretty cool on it too and the case is perfect for what I needed really. Link below is anyone is interested.

There is a lot of hyperbole going on in this thread IMO.
I find the OEM keyboard has the following advantages:
(1) the physical connection via pogo pins allows instant response without worry about bluetooth sleep feature timeouts. For me this is a huge advantage over every bluetooth anything I have ever used.
(2) the kick stand is very dependable if you attach it correctly and the ability to keep the kickstand while also removing the keyboard is aces.
The OEM keyboard has the following disadvantages:
(1) The trackpad does not recognize a light double-tap as being a touch+drag the way a PC trackpad usually would. So resizing windows and dragging +dropping is awkward and best relegated to the touch screen (or an actual mouse).
(2) The number row is the wrong size.
(3) The arrow keys should be an inverted T and they are not.
Otherwise it is fine. Expensive for something which is only fine but I seriously cannot stress how much better the pogo pin connection is compared to bluetooth. Your mileage may vary but this keyboard IMO is fine and does improve the tablet experience.
anyone ever tried this case/kb? https://www.logitech.com/en-roeu/product/ultrathin-keyboard-folio-galaxy-tab4-10?crid=1221
