What accessories did you guys buy with your Fascinate?

I bought the desktop cradle/dock and the black holster. I'm tempted to go without an actual case because I don't want to have to bother with the case every time I want to dock the phone. I get to pick my Fascinate up from Best Buy in t-minus 8 hours!

I ordered the desktop charging cradle, and the windshield mount. Both look very cool.

I ordered the windshield mount kit. It is pretty nice after I figured out that the charge port moves to make it easier to mount the phone in it. The only problem so far is that when I ordered it online it stated it included the car charger, but when I received it earlier there was no charger so I guess I will be calling customer service when I get home. Not sure if I will use the anti-glare protectors either because they only cover the actual screen and not the entire face of the phone.

Where did you see that it came w/ a car charger? All I see is this:
"Samsung i500 Vehicle Mount transforms your device into a multifunctional navigation tool! Easily and safely gain access to maps, voice search, your contacts and more with a single touch! This custom fitted mount includes a built-in power port for convenient in-vehicle charging! "
No picture of a charger either. For $40, you'd think they'd give you a charger along w/ the piece of plastic.

I picked up the desktop cradle and screen protectors. i got them both for $34.00 they had a sale for 20% at my verizon. Love the dock!!

The spare battery charger (the one Verizon sells) comes with a second battery, right? I thought I saw it for $29.99
Don't think I need it but I may pick it up next week.

Yes it includes another battery. BTW, the spare battery charger does not have a plug.

If anyone knows of an extended battery that is the same size as the stock battery, please post where you have found it. I would love to get one that doesn't add a bulge to my phone.

i got the clear plastic case and have ordered both the Realook Screen Protector (from Korea) and one of them InvisibleShield-type protectors for the back

I got a car charger, second wall charger and usb only cable bundled together at amazon

Fascinate Accessories
Given that my Fascinate is an upgrade from my old Moto Droid I decided not to buy the dock\car mount again. (I sold that equipment with the Droid). Instead I found a hard(ish) shell case that the VZW store carried, added just enough thickness to the phone to no longer feel like i was gonna destroy it. The Droid was a tank so the Fascinate felt a bit thin to me. The case is nice though leaves everything super accessible and has a kickstand built into the back of it so at night, i just pop that out and tap the dock icon. Sure i have to start the Dock and Car mode manually but it's not like it takes long.
I am tinkering with a few different universal car mounts till I find one i like.

I purchased the extended battery - I'm not much of a case guy so I didn't want to buy one... I came from a touch pro2 so I absolutely love the extended battery's added weight and thickness. It also has a ridge, even if it makes it look "pregnant". Ridge makes it feel better in my hand and also makes sure that the lens of the camera will not be scratched (as much).

Selling my Gtab

So I am selling my tab and all the goodies.. no particular reason.. I just dont use it.. I bought it to travel with and I wont be traveling.. so.. time to move it.
$325
Comes with Box - paperwork
I will also throw in the following:
zpad malata leather case
zpad hdmi dock
carbon fiber skin for the back (already installed)
and free ups ground shipping to non-po box addresses
I had a few scratches on the back of mine - thus the reason I wanted the carbon fiber skin. The dock has hardly been used and the leather case I have only had since janurary.
The battery charging light doesnt come on any more - but the screen shows its charging.
The device has Vegan 3 or 4 on it and I will throw in a 4gb memory card (for those of you that dont know - this is the same rom that lets you use a wiimote for emulators)
I can accept paypal or credit cards through my company website.
If I have no takers by Thursday morning its going on ebay for the weekend

Do you have the roo Case in yet and are using it? I am curious to the fit, because I also would like to use this same case for my TF700. Thank you for posting this info for us.

Oops, just saw that you already returned the car mount, my bad :angel:

Yea man, it was really bad. It's basically a RAM Mount knock off, but it has a single flemsy bolt down piece. The holes were all too small to fit the seat bolt through and had to use a smaller bolt. The arm it'self wobbled and swayed and the jaws to hold the tablet were too small to even fit the tablet. Seemed like a great deal at $20, but was too good to be true. I'll probably go look at what ProClip has thought up as far as positioning tablets in my truck and just make one.

Docks and Prices

So after reading around various other older threads and using my google-fu, I came to the realization that if there was a specific desk-dock (not to be mistaken with the lapdock [has its own thread] or the vehicle dock) for the A2, that it was already long gone from the market. What I was able to find however is that there are still plenty of 89511N and 89512N available out there.
The Motorola HD Dock is currently $18 w/free shipping for Prime. It has an HDMI port.
The Motorola HD Station Dock is currently $30 w/free shipping for Prime. It has an HDMI port as well as 3 USB ports.
These are the only 2 'desk' docks that I know for certain are compatible with the A2. The Bionic dock, while compatible in terms of function, just looks plain awkward, and at least in my case, trying to reverse the cables just left me with a non-functional dock.
Also available is the Motorola Atrix 2 Vehicle Navigation Dock, also at $30 w/free shipping for Prime.
I'll keep my eyes peeled for other A2 'dock deals' and post them here as I see them.

Thanks for the effort.
I wanted to Buy HD Station (with Remote), it is not available on Motorola website and Amazon is selling it for $ 105.
can you use your Google-Fu skills and get good deals :laugh:

I built my own dock with a nice piece of wood and a router attachment on a Dremel. Just routed out a groove and beveled the edges nicely, then drilled a hole in the right spot for the a usb cable to stick up and sealed it in with epoxy.

Will do when i get home later!
I have to say that I would have made some modifications doing it again, mainly in my choice of wood. what i used was way to hard and was extremely difficult to route out, causing some burning.

Cheapest I could find at this point was Micro Center for $72.99, but only available in store. Otherwise, yeah, eBay and WalMart both have it for 105, as you noted. The model number for that specific one is 89522N.

While watching ebay a few days ago i found this lapdock for the original Atrix , they usually go for $50 used! so this one is going for almost $16 with $2.99 S & H and its brand new in the box! there is 9 hours left on this auction yet,but here is the product # 230975680637 for any one who is interested.
Modding one of this puppies was fun and a great addition to my A2.
