Dust plug?

Hi all,
I totally have no appropriate place to ask this nor is it your standard device question, but does anyone know if a rubberized mini usb dust plug exists for my beloved Kaiser?
Carrying it around is already starting to build up a little dust in the ports and all ...

I'd be interested in one of these too.

The T-Mobile Wing comes with a rubber cover attached to cover the mini usb port. I've always thought it was a pain to use but now I kinna see it does help keep debis out of it.
A friend at work has the Tilt -- he accidently poked his USB port trying to soft reset and it messed up the phone. A cover or plug makes sense. I will keep my eye open for one.

Debris namely your stylus, which can break your USB pins easily.

Hmm...
I'm not entirely sure if this is the right product. Can someone confirm? http://www.l-com.com/item.aspx?id=8134&cmp=ALSOS

Yeah thats the Daddy. Nice find.

Stupid question I know, but since I'll have to import them, thought I'd make sure. Is it USB A, or B on the Kaiser?

Actually, I don't think thats it..

Not the right one? Does that site offer the correct plug somewhere else? Isn't the Kaiser a Mini USB B?
Edit: Aah... that's it, isn't it? What we're looking for is a USB Mini B-type (5 pin) plug.
A positive confirmation is all I'll need ...

Yes, it's a MINI USB.
This is a normal type B, which is the product you found.

Type B means peripheral end, then there is the MINI connector (mini type b?) which cameras, phones, etc use. If you buy the product you found -- it'll work great for your printer as it probably has a normal type-B connector.
They've got to make mini-B type plugs somewhere. Imagine the insurance it will provide against stylus intrusion.
Fact is, mini connectors are more likely to be in the field where dust is present -- vs normal type B, which printers and scanners are. I'm sure they make them somewhere, but not sure where.

Nuts.
I tried looking for something else for a long time, yesterday with no luck. I'll keep looking and post if I find anything.

Well... I can't seem to locate a small port plug so I've resorted to looking for something like this (http://www.superufo.com/product_html/SONY_PSP_PSP_Port_Protector_Cap.html#) that I can possibly cut down to make it as small as possible.
Edit: I don't know why I'm so obsessed with this, but now I'm determined to find SOMETHING

Pictures of the various types towards the bottom.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/USB

Not a bad idea to have one actually, considering the reports we see here re: broken usb ports.
I have a number of dead devices here that use the same mini usb port. It would not be too difficult to create a silicone plug using one of their ports as a mold.
Just another thing to try when I'm bored I guess.

If you ever do get around to making a good mold, I'm definitely interested. I bet there are more than a few others who would be, too.
Otherwise ... after days of scouring the net, here's what I found.
I went down to the store to check out the port protectors for the PSP. The most common one I found is not a plug, but rather a cover that needs to other miscellaneous holes to pluginto. NOT suitable.
There's a port protector/silicone skin pack for the Nintendo DS. I haven't yet gotten a chance to take a closer look at it ... but it seems to be a mini usb plug. I think that should work after trimming off the secondary plug (used for a hinged mount). The cost is normally about $7.99 - $9.99 USD.
Seems like a bit of a waste to buy the whole thing for just the little plug, but aside from fabricating something new, this looks like the next best bet.

I would be very interested ion a solution for this too. I found this thread a few days ago and started looking for something. I haven't found anything either.

If the Nintendo DS skin pack you mentioned works out, I would be very interested too, even if what you found had to be modified. IMO even @ $10 it would be worth it.

Careful, nintendo DS does not have your everyday mini usb port. The shape is slightly different. A normal mini usb charger does not fit into the DS. Nintendo did this so they can make more money selling chargers. I hate proprietary shenanigans. Might as well be a Macintosh DS lite.

I have bought a non working display model for the tytn/til/kaiser have access to casting/molding facilities, so unless someone finds a product to meet this need, I intend on having one made fo myself.
This is going to cost me quite a bit, so I was wondering:
If we make plugs for this that work, would you guys be willing to purchase them through Ebay or something?
If so, how much would you be willing to pay?
I just want to offset some of the cost.
Or alternatively, has anyone found a plug yet? I spent a lot of time looking around and haven't found anything yet.

Quality decides the worth of the item you'll be offering. I'd pay no more than $5 for a single plug, which will surely offset any cost for you x20 probably. I can only see cost of materials being a couple cents each. A quality mold, however could be hard to come by.

Car chargers

Does anyone know of a car charger that fits in perfectly in the cig lighter in the car. All Incar chargers I have ever bought never fit in perfectly and with the slightest amount of touch lose power until I push it in again.
I want a nice snug fit just the the cig lighter has with its own lighter thing. I absiolutely hate the give/movement these incar chargers have.
Any ideas?

Hey there, i bought an adapter and just use my usb cable that came with the phone..
Its a tight fit with just a little movement. Never looses the connection, have had no problems

car charger
I use Igo chargers, never had problem, just buy new tip when you change phone. Don't have to carry charger for every phone. They have multi charger kit, comes with home,car, &tip, & retractable cord. Love it, they fit snug, with led lite. Quig

i got one of these for 3 bucks on sale. and for the price it friggin rules!!!

I use a dual USB car charger from Griffin Technology known as the powerjolt.
http://www.griffintechnology.com/products/powerjolt-dual-universal
No other car charger fits my cigarette lighter slot as well. I think this is quite tight but can still pop out. My high tech solution is to stick a bit of card in there with the cahrger. It works perfectly and doesn't need to be wedged in very far to create a rock solid connection.

Works well, snug fit too.

The leo ´s plastic parts are covered by some kinda smooth coating. I wonder if it takes damage if you use car holders (especially the brodit one - I think I might buy this one). What do you guys say? Has anyone experiences with this?

is 500mA enough to charge the phone + use navigation or play music?

I bought this one at walmart on our way out of town one day to run my HD2 and my daughters iPhone 3G...My HD2 always overheats when I use it (the LED flashes orange and green after about 15-20 minutes) Even if I dont have anything else plugged into it.
Mine may be an isolated issue (though I dont see how)...but I dont know if I would recommend this...as overheating the battery often cannot be good in the long run.

Does this sit flush on the top of the lighter jack?...that would be the perfect solution so I could unplug the cable but leave the adapter in and still be able to close the ashtray (change drawer) lid.

It looks like the price in your link has gone up to 12.99...but a quick google search gave me a price of 5.99+free shipping

Personal review of the Nexus S KiDiGi Desktop Dock

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.

Mine storage only so I'm soldering a microSD reader straight to a microUSB plug, which lets me make it a little smaller.
I'll solder the reader on backwards as in the photo so it hopefully wraps around the back of the device. Bull i'll fix it in place once I have the N10 and can measure it up etc.
EDIT: Electronics are done, just need to package it now, nice and neat.

Yeh, I have a few smaller ones myself but none that I wanted to sacrifice to this project. I've not heat-shrink wrapped the wires and will encase the connector properly tonight.

I also like the way you retained the female USB for game controllers, mouse, microSD, ect. I turned the female USB to the side, when plugged-in it's only half the size of the female USB.

Yeah, I considered putting the female usb port at a 90 degree angle, to keep it from sticking out too much, but I realized that would significantly limit the number of devices I could plug into it based on the width of their usb plugs. The one unfortunate thing about my adapter is that the female port is fairly shallow, so whatever you plug into it, tends to stick out an extra 1/8 inch or so. However, a deeper female port probably wouldn't have fit as nicely without using a larger lego brick, so its a reasonable trade-off.

After your inspiration im hopefully going to do something similar to you and one other member on here and go straight from micro usb to micro sd. Although it may be 4x2 lego brick size!

You might be able to fit that in a 2x3 if you can find a small enough microsd slot/board.

How is it limit the number of devices you can plugged into? It's only half the size of stripped female USB. It's perfect for small profile devices like a phone. The only downside is in depth it's twice the size as your when laying the female USB on it's surface. But the trade off is worth it because you'll be holding your device and you want it to be as small as possible. If you're using a stand, it's even better.

I don't actually have my N10 yet, but this picture using my Galaxy Tab 10.1 should illustrate the problem with the 90 degree design.
As you can see, this thumb drive i significantly fatter than the lego brick. If I had used the 90 degree design, there's no way I would have been able to plug it into the tablet with the thumb drive attached.
Now I plan to mostly use this adapter with really small devices like this:
http://www.amazon.com/elago-Mobile-microSDHC-Memory-Reader/dp/B002HGFKR8
For that device, the 90 degree design would probably work ok, but I wanted to still have the option of using fatter devices occasionally if the need arises, so I decided not to use the 90 degree layout.

Now, I understand what you meant but that isn't true. The device in the picture is Nexus 7, v.1 and v.2 works perfectly with any USB devices. These was build with a case-on in mind, it will take a thumbdrive.
aaaa
Since we're building for the smallest form factor of storage; Micro USB OTG to USB Adapter. It's only logical to buy the smallest USB microSD and it's only cost a $1.

case with built-in micro-sd reader?

Given that the Note 5 does not have a built-in microsd slot, i was wondering if there was a case available that hand a built-in micro sd reader that interfaced via the usb-otg.
Thanks

Maybe.
The S6 had the Incipio Offgrid, but I'd imagine it's gonna take a while. That case didn't come out for a good six months after the phone was announced. There aren't even any battery cases yet so

Maybe Incipio
It won't let e post a link yet but the article I read talked about Incipio offering a batter and SD case that connects on the usb port.
I don't see it on the Incipio website.
I had read an article on Engadget that showed it.
Had a battery or SD scenario. (Iguess only one at a time on the usb port)
I think it was priced at $80+

They have it for the S6, but not the Note 5 yet. I hope they do. That way it won't be so bad going forward.
http://www.incipio.com/chargers/off...-extended-battery-case-samsung-galaxy-s6.html

This looks great! Thw onw thing that almost stopped me from buying the note 5 was no sd and only 32gb available here. A case with sd slot would be perfect. A bonus would be to still be able to use the wireless fast charger.

Just picked my Note 5 Duos up...Went back forth between it and waiting for the Nexus 6P....glad I didnt wait....Love the Note 5...yet the biggest gripe is the storage....who here uses over 50gb on their phone?

Personally, I mostly use my micro SD for the 37GB of music I haul around =D
So whenever I'm not listening to music of movies, I don't need my micro SD. I thought long and hard about solutions I could jury-rig with an eventual Note 5 (only 32GB available in Canada...URGH.). I settled down on this:
- Meenova microSD OTG reader: http://www.meenova.com/
- 5-inch left-angle micro-USB OTG extension: http://www.angledcables.com/rrmcblextxxgo-usb-20-otg-left-angle-adapter-cab20.html
The reason for the cable extension is that I use rugged cases and the reader's connector is too short and the case will interfere (as tested with a Trident Case Kraken AMS on my Note 3 alas). What I plan to do is curve the cable and route it to the case's back and velcro the thing on the case's back. This will keep it low-profile enough near the USB port (and the left angle is essential or else the cable would get in the earphone port's way), and would not add too much bulk to the back.
Those with skinny jeans might want to avoid this contraption though, but I always wear military-grade cargo pants with huge pockets so I don't really care...!

I thought I wanted a microUSB SD reader, but then I happened across this:

For my use case, this handles the storage issue plus much more. My main use case being travel, 50% of the time including my family - with this everyone gets access to media, plus you can share an airplane etc. wi-fi access charge.

This works for storage too - http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00DBX37H6?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o03_s00 but I really like the Incipio case idea.

I was talking to a Mophie case sales rep at a Verizon partner event on Tuesday. He told me that they are going to be coming out with a battery and SD card case. The only downside is that he said it will most likely not allow wireless charging anymore.

Check out the Dash Micro for Android - http://www.meenova.com/st/p/mrg2.html
I have it and it's awesome, hooked up a 128 GB MicroSDXC card to it and backup/stream all my multimedia files.
Only real downside to it that I can think of is that it burns through battery a little fast.
Not a big deal honestly, just a slight compromise.
Also fits perfectly with my Spigen and Caseology cases on.

Make sure you post that when it comes out so we can also buy one. Thanks.
