Just wanted to post a brief review of the RND Power Solutions Deluxe Cradle. I saw another thread on their synch/charge cradle, but not for this cradle.
I purchased it via Amazon for $25 + $3 shipping. It arrived quickly.
It holds the Note 2 in a vertical position and also holds and charges a second battery at the same time. I bought one in white. It is a brighter white than the front of my white Note 2, but it certainly looks like it was made to go with my phone. I think it looks sharp. The phone is sturdily held; it's easy to use the screen while the phone is in the cradle. I have not measured the charging time for either the phone or the second battery. However, they both seem to charge at "normal" speeds.
Overall, I'm very happy with my purchase.
Does it come with a charger?
Samsung sells a really nice similar bundle that comes with a second battery but I don't think it charges the phone while docked
swyped all these spelling errors from my galaxy note 2
Yes, it comes with a charger.
I saw the Samsung one. As you mention, it doesn't charge the phone. That's why I bought the RND one.
What amperage does it charge at? How about the battery recharger? If you use the Samsung OEM power cable the Samsung OEM charger will charge at 1.7 amps which is the highest I've seen. Fully recharges drained battery in 2 to 3 hours. These 450 mah or lower chargers take FOREVER and if you are suing the phone will drain faster than they charge. Unless the main charger is 2.1 amps it isnt worth it.
I am experiencing the wireless charging feature on my Galaxy S6 Edge for the first time. The Wireless Charger I am currently using is the one comes with Galaxy S6 Edge. So just curious to know if i could make one DIY for my car to experience wireless charging on the go! is it a good idea?
How about this Iron Stand QI Wireless Charging Pad, a new version from CHOETECH for pre-order:

There's lots of available Qi car docks, just go on Amazon.

Seems nice! I would love to buy one for my S6 to keep it on my office desk!

Yes,there is a lot wireless charge on amazon or ebay.
There is a suction up wireless charger for S6E. But I don't have one. So no more detailed information for you right now.
Ordered the S7 Edge and eagerly waiting for it to arrive... My wife has a S6 and we realized with some disappointment that she has to remove her case every time she wants to charge wirelessly.
I have scoured the case reviews here and on Amazon, but no one mentions whether their case would support wireless charging.
Are there cases for the S7E that allows wireless charging without removing the case?
It really isn't about the compatibility of the case itself. It comes down to whether or not your wireless charging mat will allow charging from that amount of a distance away. Some of the cheaper ones have to be almost directly touching the mat, but there are ones that will allow charging through up to twice the thickness of the thickest cases. Also, be sure you're purchasing the high watt quick charge 3.0 compatible Qi chargers as any Qi charger will work, but the low watt ones will charge much more slowly. I hope this helps.
All of the cases reviewed in my OP work with wireless fast charging. There's a link to it in my signature
Thanks! I guess the charger I got for my wife is a cheap one that cannot charge through a case. I will look at the charger recommendations thread now.
I have the official Samsung clear cover case, and it works fine with wireless charging. no problem at all.
I have the Samsung fast charge wireless charger (got it on amazon for 35. Can be had for 25 "like new used") and it will fast charge my S7 with a Spigen Lite armor case no problem. it's a TPU/PC combo case so its not very thin.
I was fortunate enough to get a chance to review and test drive this unit.
The product is solidly built, with rubber parts on the bottom that prevent the charge from moving once you place the phone on the unit. The LED bar gives you an "at a glance" update on the charging, btu may be an issue if its near your bedside. In a darkened room, it may be a minor distraction. I use this in an office setting so the led bar was not a distraction at all.
The fan built into the unit is silent. I did not even hear a whisper of it, and in fact, had to place my hand back there to see if I felt any circulation (I did--it really is quiet).
With my Galaxy Note 8, I have the OEM Samsung Military-grade rugged case Samsung Galaxy Note8 Rugged Military Grade Protective Cover with Kickstand, Black and this charged was able to charge the phone THROUGH IT! I took a photo to show this. On the Samsung Convertible Fast Charger, it would not reliably charge the phone through this case. I knew this beforehand that the Samsung would not charge the phone through this style case but I tried it anyway. The Choetech charger was successful in doing so.
This charger also charges my old school Moto Nexus 6 (photo attached). the back is curved on the Nexus 6 but the Choetech had no issues providing a secure and stable platform.
The product comes with a usb cable and operating instructions and in a minimalist design box. I am not a fan of fancy boxes because they add unnecessary cost to the products price, so I thank Choetech for continuing this trend on their products.
The unit charged the phone from 18% to full in under 3 hours. I had the screen on at times and I have the galaxy Note 8 in High Performance mode. The charge time is comparable to Samsung's Convertible Fast charger unit that I also have.
In closing, if you are looking for a simple, no-frills designed charger that competes with current industry leading fast wireless chargers, give the Choetech a serious look.

can't ever have enough photos...
How cool does it keep the phone while charging vs. a charging pad without a fan or USB-C charging?
Picked this up as well. Works just as well as the OEM Samsung one. Actually prefer this one because it has the fan. Short video on it here: https://youtu.be/WUoNYd3hjEs
The convertible wireless Sammy charger has a fan also.
As you know since you have it, the Choetech keeps the phone comfortable. The fan is not loud.
For the price, the Choetech is really a great alternative. Same consistent charging , fan...
I got this one from Choetech...

There's no fan, but my Note 4 doesn't seem to be any worse for that. I'll look to put up a full review once I've had a chance to use it with my Note 8.
I haven't upgraded since my note 4 so I haven't been paying attention to when accessories come out. I'm wondering how long it takes or are we stuck with what Samsung is currently offering. I'm specifically interested in the keyboard cover and the battery backpack that I saw for the note 7. The keyboard cover seems to be available overseas but can't buy it so does it mean it's coming here. We're the accessories for the s8 or note 5 released immediately or did they come out gradually.
I ordered yesterday the Anker PowerCore Speed 10000 QC which seem to have pretty large capacity and is also very compact. Planning to use with the FosPower USB 3.1 (Gen 2) Type C to USB Charging Cable hoping that I will get some fast charging times.
I'm expecting to receive these tomorrow so I'll let you know
I ordered the case with the built in battery from China. Just got it today, pretty heavy and bulky but I prefer no wires attached to a battery in my pocket. It seems to be able to charge the phone once fully. The claim one and a half. We'll see. I just ordered the Korean keyboard case from ebay.
