sdcardolder.com Has the coolest MicroSDHC card holders for around $7USD. the size of a credit card, it can hold 10 MicroSD cards and a SD to micro adapter. Multiple colors and even a hole for a keycain/lanyard. Now that Dalingrin has the video working so slick on CM7 this could be a helpful item for juggling cards for video.

This is a very interesting design. Right now i have 3-4 micros in their own cases with adapters in my back pack. The design worry's me, how well does it hold the cards id be afraid they would fall out.
I'm with the previous poster. Looks like it would be too easy to have a card slip right out on accident. Otherwise, I'm always looking for a better way to hold my cards than the 4 different boxes I already use.
the site mentions that center tab on each slot...think it is supposed to act as the retention mechanism.
ya i saw that, but im still a bit weary. if you buy it let me know. if it holds them well, and does not feel like it will get loose with age i might be game to buy it.
Yeah..gonna buy a few cards and one of these soon...got the call to go back to work Monday...yay money!

I bought one of these a few weeks ago to keep track of my growing supply of uSD cards. I can attest that it's very handy and size-efficient.
I can understand the concerns that the cards may fall out, but the center-tab latching mechanism seems pretty secure, as it is reinforced on the underside. I actually bought 2 other models (one to hold multiple SIMs and one to hold multiple full-sized SDs). They all work as expected and I'm pleased with the purchases.
Other than this model, I haven't seen anything which holds a large # of uSD cards in a small space.
Cheers

any chance you can post a pic?
When I said that it was reinforced underneath, I misspoke. They do seem to be more than adequately rigid, given that they don't need to travel far to release the cards.
As requested, here are some pictures of the retention mechanism.
I just bought one of these at amazon, with the intention of sticking some velcro on it and attaching it to my B&N Industriell Easel.

Looking forward to more feedback. It looks like either of the 2 posts would help as far as storage is concerned but I am also having trouble keeping my cards straight. I have the NC and 2 android phones.

I ended up picking up this reader/holder, and I expect it will remain sufficient for my needs for some time to come. In addition to the 2 uSD, 1 SIM and 1 M2 storage slots (all cards I currently use, though only one of each and usually in their respective devices), 1 more of any of the above can be stored in the reader slot.
I hadn't considered it when I ordered, but the reader is slim enough to slip in the cover flap of my NC case, which I had thought impractical for anything but a wiping cloth or a few sheets of paper. In a lot of cases, it would fit neatly in the ID pocket (fits mine, too, but makes the cover bulge there when closed).
About the only con I see is that they probably could have made it smaller still--I suspect the center 1/4-1/3 of the width is wasted space inserted for that credit card form factor.

Did you order directly from the company or via their store at Amazon?
I think I will order the SIM card holder. They have a buy 3 get 4 promo via Amazon. It would be overkill to buy the SIM Card Holder, SD card holder and the micro SD cardholder. What would I do with a fourth card holder?

It works fine for me... I'm thinking of how to best slap it on my case, at present. I think I'm going to sew some magnets into a fabric pockect, and just use the magnetic stick in the case to tether it in place. As to keeping track, maybe a bit of paint on the cards? Be it nail polish, poster, marker, etc? Keep them color coded and easily sorted .

Hi all, the best part of this holder is it is designed to fit right in the pelican (!) ( secure digital case which makes it not only secure, but also waterproof, and if I do say so, very cool. I bought mine from amazon.
Just received this dock and have been using it for a couple of days.
Only $10 -- a cheap alternative so some of the 40-50$ options.
http://www.ebay.com/itm/New-Data-Sy...531363?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item3f1de5aea3
It's small, feels like a decent quality piece. It's glossy black with rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. It keeps the Note 2 supported nicely when it's dropped in. It's got a floppy rubbery insert that you can take out if you have a case.
One con is that a few times when I've yanked my phone out, the rubber piece has either partially or completely come out. My advice would be to decide on a case of not and, if you leave the rubber insert in, put a drop of hot glue or something to keep the insert in place.
See pics below. Let me know if you have questions.

Yes, it works with a slim case for me without even taking the rubber insert out. When you take the rubber insert out, there's a good 0.5-0.75cm around it, particularly the edges. A case with a big beefy back probably would not fit.

It doesn't come with a cable -- you use your phone's provided cable or anything else, so whatever those deliver. I just have a usb-to-microusb running from my computer to it and it works fine.

Sheesh guys. Think a little more outside your own world.
I have this dock connected to my computer at work. I walk in from a meeting, drop the phone in the charger (instead of setting it down, picking up the cable, jamming it in, etc) and it's immediately mounted as a drive on my computer and is charging anytime I'm at my desk. Need to run to a meeting? You just pick it up...no fussing with cables.
Nope, no spare battery. Surprise, most people don't need one. I spend half my day working at my desk, meaning my phone is charging half the day. In fact, I don't even feel like I ever "charge". It's just sitting in its stand. I never need to plug it in at home.
Nope, no USB or HDMI. Surprise, 99% of the people that use this phone care about that, so why pay for a $100 for a dock with it (that's the wrong color, BTW).
20 bucks? Wow, they saw you coming a mile off.
It's the same dock as this, which is in black or white.

Different dock and doesn't ship to the US. But yes, I see your point, there are cheaper alternatives on ebay. Thanks for trying to make me feel like an idiot, Baron. You are very thoughtful.

While their prices aren't always the best, I do like Smartphonepedia's video reviews on youtube (the full shows, not the 30 second blips) and the guys there are very pro-android and know their devices. I would throw business at them vs a random guy on ebay any day.

You can just plug the phone into the dock without having to pick up the charge cable and plug it into the phone. Same for removing it from the dock. Since we have to charge the phone everyday, I would say the dock has a value.
Can some one recommend a good cradle for use with the UAG case. I want to be able to use my phone as a click at night. I want something I can put a NFC sticker on and automatically put it in clock mode when I put my phone on it.

Been looking for something like this as well. Unfortunately most of the cradles with a high back have a slim opening at the bottom where your phone in a thicker case won't fit. Slim flip case or tpu case works fine, but when you start getting in UAG/Convert/Defender category - those won't fit. Maybe others can chime in if there is another cradle to fit Note 2 in a thicker case, but I have seidio cradle coming to me next week for review and they supposed to guarantee fitment with Active and Convert. Don't quote me on that yet, I will not know until I get it next week and test it out with various cases. Will post pictures as well. The drawback, it doesn't have a high back for NFC tag I want to see if I can stick it on top of it or a side or something. In theory, you just bring it close to activate night or whatever mode you need and then place it in the holder.
Business card holder. Got a metallic one from Staples for a few bucks. Even use it in my car since I'm low on windshield space to mount a cradle.
Oops, I might off missed the original question. Were you looking for a cradle with a charging port or just a cradle? Cause that seidio cradle thingy I mentioned about is actually a charging base that can take Note 2 with a thick case. For just a cradle like it was mentioned above, you can find just about anything that will fit
Charging port would be nice but I already counted that option out. I could probably easily just bend a piece of aluminum a few times and make it work but I was trying to see if there is already sometging available I can just order and be done with it.

Hey all I'm still looking for something that will work. It has been a while since anyone responded to this thread, and also since it's been out, but Maybe something has changed in that time. Any new news? The Seidio Dock works for the Active, but not for the UAG
Found this by Kidigi, http://www.gadgets4geeks.com.au/pro...er-usb-sync-samsung-galaxy-note-2-n7100-n7105
Seems quite amazing, pretty much covered the requirements needed to accommodate the note 2 with a case. As to whether it will actually accommodate the Note 2 with a UAG case, I can't say for certain.
It doesn't have a high enough back support to allow for the use of a NFC tag, but perhaps one could glue a piece of wood/plastic to the cradle in a way that acts as a back support and slap an NFC tag on it. (probably won't look as nice though)

Not 100% sure, but it states that it is capable of data sync and charging output at 1A.
If you wanted to trigger 'dock' mode, then best bet would be to use a NFC tag or learn how to trigger dock mode by modifying the micro usb with resistors.

The 2nd option is something I plan on playing with in general. I was hoping for something "out of the box". If you get this, please let us know what you think. That 1A sounds lowish.

Hey everyone, not sure if people are still on the fence with some of the Wireless charging pads out there but, here's a solid solution.
ChoeTech Qi Charger
I had purchased a couple of the Durcell Powermats and only 1 of my 3 cases would charge with it. So, I decided to try another one.
All 3 are working flawlessly ....
Obliq Slim
Spigen Ultra Thin
Verus Card Slot Case (This is the one I really wanted it to work with).
Obliq case poly bumper
Some may not be as pumped as myself, but it's nice to see a decently priced pad work so well. Figured I'd share what I found out, since it might help others considering their options.
I got the same thing for my diy car mount and it works awesome. 3 coil is the only way to go in my books.

Did it work with the slot case while cards where inside? I bought two of the disappointing PowerMat chargers and it's annoying to have to remove it and then place it just perfectly on the charger. Defeats the entire purpose of wireless charging for me, convenience.

I can confirm it charges with two cards in the slot (Debit card and Driver's license). Really loving this wireless charger.
Those durcell mats really let me down... I should have known better with them being so cheap. I hated taking my case off to charge the phone.

Yeah my duracell powermat has a hard time charging through all but my thinnest case. And even then I have to reposition the phone precisely for it to work at all. I got a couple of those CHOE Qi chargers and they work through all the cases I've tried so far.
Just received mine and it works flawlessly! I've got 3 cards in my slider case and it still charges without issue. Haven't had to mess around with placement of my phone either, super convenient. Thanks for sharing!

The real pain in the ass is that the Speck Candyshell Grip case is spotty to charge on it. It stops charging at random intervals and then picks up and charges again. If the case if off, I get no interruptions when I wirelessly charge.

Be careful if you get this Candyshell grip case. Its a great case, but the issues with wireless charging suck.
yup, 3 coils is the way to go hands down. stronger charging and also you can place anywhere, no need to fiddle around on where to place the device which was annoying on the Duracell mat.
Also having issues with the Duracell one not going through the case.. will pick up one of these!

That is something that should have been invented years ago... They need to have a bulk purchase, I'd need a dozen sets.
Definitely yes, now they have way more money to launch the program so its definitely coming out. I always been jealous of Apple's lightning cable, now we have one ?
That is so awesome, I ordered a couple microsd kits. Keeps crud out of your microsd port, and easily snaps and charges like macbooks. What a great idea!
I was a backer and now waiting! Order a type - c, lightning for iPad and of course micro USB.
Tapatalked with my Note 5
I am also backer and waiting for the release now. Ordered 3 different sets: Micro USB, USB type c and lightening. They specifically mentioned that it should not affect the speed of fast charging, so I really look forward to it. I also think it may be a good idea to make a stand out of cable so to place the phone on a stand to have it charged...
I saved the campaign site for later but forgot that I save. Now I have to pay more to get it that sucks :/
I am a backer of this as well. Looking forward to getting the product. I ordered several.

I believe you can find a lot of these on Amazon now too. I don't think I have seen one as thin as the znap ones though
I've seen it before but it's too big compared to znaps and I am using case on my note 5 so don't think it will fit on. Maybe in future I'll remove the case until I adapt the phone's size. I always used 4.3" or 5" and the naked note 5 is also too damn slippery I don't want to break it.
