Seeking an easy slip-in car dock with integrated USB jack - Galaxy S 4 Accessories

I had a nice car dock with my bionic that allowed me to put the phone in on-handed. It held the phone in a landscape format. I would love to find the same for my S4, although the USB on the S4 is at the bottom so that might be difficult. I'll settle for one that can hold the phone in portrait format also. I have seen some nice looking car docks, but they all seem to require a two handed operation in plugging in the cable. I want a one-handed drop-in and flip-clip to secure it against inertia.
Right now, I have jury-rigged a desktop cradle and it works somewhat well, until I drive on a really bumpy road... hence the "inertia" part.
Has anyone seen such a beast?

I've had the ProClip, iBolt, Infuse and Craigdocks dock. I like the Craigsdocks best of all. By a long margin, actually.

I initially balked at the price, but the craigsdocks are hand made solid aluminum.. I might need to get me that one. It looks solid. Thanks for the tip.
Edit: Look at the videos. Craig is not a vendor. He's a craftsman. These are well worth the price.

Yeah, he seems like a really nice guy too. I've chatted with him by email several times about his product. He's totally enthusiastic about his designs and implementation! And listens to suggestions/ideas as well.
I'm very happy knowing that this one dock is going to work with several future generations of Galaxy products and it's built so tough (aluminum) that it'll never wear out.
Definitely a long-term type of purchase!

I received my craigsdock today and it is exactly as advertised. I am now able to use my otterbox defender case full time. It would not fit even with docks that had removable shims to accommodate larger cases.
I wholeheartedly endorse craig's docks

(Universal) Dock useable with protection cases?

Hi there,
I am looking for a charging dock that accommodates my DHD without me having to remove the protection case (Case-Mate Barely There).
Does anyone have a suggestion for me? I just need it to charge the device, no further USB connectivity features needed.
I guess the usual Desire HD docks are all fitting so tightly that a case won't work with them, right?
Anyway, if you have any tips for me, I'd appreciate it
I'm looking for the same thing.
I'm signing up under this one as well

I've just received my Spiderpodium which does the job and is futureproof.
Its basically a rubbery type material which you can bend into various configurations and I am using it in the car right now and it works wonderfully.
I have bought a black one, it may not look as nice as custom made docking stations however is very practical.
Here's a link where it is demonstrated on an IPOD Touch however, I am using it with my DHD with a Otter commuter case attached and it works brilliantly.

Spiderpodium looks nice, wish there was something like that, but with the option of those sticky,sucky things that most gps use to attach to windows etc

My main reason for going for the Spiderpodium was because I did not want to get the windscreen "sucky" thingy. With this it leaves no marks, just sticks into the grills of my Mk5 golf which has the grills at a decent level to use sat-nav at a good viewing angle. It also holds the Wifes i-phone 4. If there is a need to, I can easily remove it from the car and use as a dock too.
Nice but I need one that I just slide in and it will charge my phone without need of connecting usb cable manually

Yup, same here - I just want to plug my phone straight in without fiddling with cables..
I have one of those cheap Chinese-made docks, I used a dremel tool to make the recess a bit bigger. It's not pretty but it fits in nicely.
I would be amazed if someone made a dock for a case. It's hard enough to get a dock for a phone, which sells millions, I would be really surprised if someone made a dock for a case which sells only in it's thousands.
Take a look at the Clingo -

It does require you to plug in the USB charger, but as I say, I think you'll have to live with that.

Hmm that doesnt look too bad , neither does the spiderpodium though..
So, has anyone found an active dock that will work with a protective case on the phone.
I really miss having a cradle for my phone at work, but cant be doing with taking it in and out of it's gel case all day long...

[Q] InvisibleShield full body cover and the Touchstone

Hey gang. Like many of you, I picked up a Touchpad during the sale. I'm mulling over accessories, and I'm definitely looking for something to protect that glossy-black back. I figured the logical route would be to throw on a full body cover, but I'm concerned about if it'll affect the inductive charging with the Touchstone.
I doubt it would cause that much interference, but I admittedly don't know very much about them. Does anybody have a full body cover and a Touchstone? Or can anyone confirm that they work together okay?
On my old pre it didn't effect it much. Was a little picky on the placement at times... but it worked just fine.
Sent from my HTC Glacier using XDA App
I saw a video review where they places the Touchpad on the charging dock while it was in a case and it started charging fine. So you should be fine.
I got a case on ebay for a little over a great price. I think it a better investment than a full body shield.
See here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/130566283923?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649
Thanks for the input.
I have thought about picking up a case, but I despise adding extra bulk to tablets. However, I'll probably pick up HP's just because of the built-in stand.
With my iPad, I usually have the smart cover on when I'm out and about, but rely solely on the full-body shield when I'm at home. I'll probably do the same with the TouchPad.

So far it seems like only the Astro 3 outputs the 12v all transformer devices need. You will need to buy a USB 3.0 female to female adapter as well at the bare minimum. I have a keyboard dock but I am very active with my infinity and it will run out of juice within a day if I forget to turn off my tablet at night (it'll be like 30% in the morning). The Astro 3 guarantees that I won't run out of battery in an 8 hour work day when combined with the keyboard dock.

Thanks a lot! very useful, already looking for options.
Great resource, thanks.
My opinion, but it just seems that ASUS is dropping the ball on cases/accessories for the Infinity... it's their flagship tablet and is prolly the best one on the market currently. It'd be nice to head into my local Best Buy, Office Depot, etc. and see a selection of cases available to choose from.

I totally agree, it would be refreshing to see cases for Non-Apple devices at BB. Do you think they will release another transformer before the holidays?
A little sidetrack but I heard Samsung has something up their sleeves with a crazy ass display but i forgot what it was called. Anyone know the name? Thinking about switching my TF700.

Do not get this rooCase slim fit case!

I ordered it because I wanted a thin case but this case did not fit! The corners were so snug I gave up because I didn't want to scratch up my tf700. It went straight back in the mail.

I purchased the rooCASE Executive Portfolio Case Cover (100% Genuine Leather) and I LOVE IT! Because I will be using my Infinity to help sell my photography for different vendoring events, this rooCASE will stand my tablet up in either portrait or landscape mode which most cases don't do -- it's usually one or the other, not both! It also has 2 small slots holders for business cards, a medium sized slot that holds the micro-fiber cloth that came with the tablet, and a large slot which holds my note pad. There's even an elastic band on the spine which holds my Bamboo Solo Stylus.
I nice complete package of high quality (including the zippers) which goes anywhere from $29.99 to $39.99.

RND Nexus 4 dock review

Hey guys, I bought this Nexus 4 dock on Amazon and received it today. It's specifically designed for the Nexus 4 and fits like a glove. It is currently OOS but this dock looks exactly the same and is $10 cheaper than what I paid. D'oh! The dock works with or without a case thanks to a little insert that changes the size of the dock port. I tested the dock with my Diztronic TPU case and without.
What I like about the dock:
Plain and understated design with no logos or blinky LEDs
Matches the Nexus 4 with or without case perfectly
Works with or without a case
The N4 slides onto the micro usb port with little hassle. I think this will end my attempts to put in the micro usb cable upside down in the dark before falling asleep.
Surprisingly, the speaker doesn't sound too muffled despite being covered by the dock. I was able to comfortably have a conversation over speakerphone and watched a couple YouTube videos without issue.
You can lightly tap things on the screen without it tipping over
Charging works fine thus far. You can also plug it into a computer USB port to sync stuff
Cheap, at least compared to a Qi charger
What I don't like:
You need to hold the base with one hand to pull out the N4. It's made out of hollow plastic. A heavier, more solid feel would be nice, but the base would probably have to be made out of iron to slide out the N4 with one hand.
Included USB cable is short, around 3 feet long
Included wall charger works, but looks and feels cheap. I just plugged in my OEM charger instead
Here's a flickr set of some additional pics I took of the dock.
I'd highly recommend this little guy. IMO, current Qi chargers aren't worth the high cost for the extra convenience they provide. This dock strikes a better balance of convenience and price, and doesn't scrap too much on quality where it counts.
Looks decent. I had something similar for my old Evo. Be interesting to compare to the new Orb one. I just like the idea of magnets doing the work and not worrying about misalignment of the usb port.

Agreed, the orb charger looks ideal. That said, I don't think that this dock will hurt my micro usb connector - I can dock it with far less fuss than connecting the wire manually. But maybe that's just me and my poor hand-eye coordination. :highfive:
This looks ideal. Does anyone have a link to order one from Hong Kong? I have much better luck ordering from there to Canada than I do from the US...
Not sure if this is the same dock, but looks almost identical: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/KiDiGi-Ne...520772?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item2327426fc4
A question to the OP, I noticed from your pics that you were able to use the dock whilst the Nexus was in a Distronic case...was this a comfortable fit? I have bought the Ringke Fusion which is similar in shape to the case you're using.

Yep, the Diztronic case fit perfectly. Not too snug, not too loose. The phone slides down to the USB connector just by gravity alone. You then push the phone down a little and it locks in.

I own 2 of the RND docks, one for an HTC Inspire and one for the Galaxy Note. I went to buy one for the Nexus 4 but it was out of stock then Google had the Orb so I ordered that instead (a lot more expensive but I need to keep the phone for 2 years at least so might as well enjoy it). I really do like these docks, they are very easy to drop your phone into, holds it at a very nice angle and I have never worried about damaging my USB port with it (unlike the Samsung Car Dock which always worried me).
I may still buy one of these for travel as they are small and seem to pack up well. I cant speak to this one specifically as I don't own it but if it is anything like the other two I have it is a very well build product. The one thing that has me a bit concerned is the statement about the cables. The cable they shipped with the old ones were definitely not short, I use one in my bedroom and it is about 6' long. They used to ship a long charge only cable and a shorter data cable, maybe they stopped doing that.
@rmgill Just wanted to thank you again for the recommendation. I bought the cheaper version you linked to in the OP and it appears to be the same as the more expensive one you bought. Very nice dock and killer price. Unfortunately, they're out of stock or I'd pick up another one for my desk at work.
I have a Ringke slim case on it and it slides into the dock with just the right amount of tension. Doesn't feel flimsy or particularly cheap and the back supports it well enough that I don't worry about the microUSB port getting damaged. Definitely recommend it.

Galaxy S 5 Car mount

Recommend the best car mount here for Galaxy S 5.
A bit more expensive, but the CraigsDocks Dock is billet aluminum and low-profile and is true one-hand operation and adjustable to work with S2, S3, S4, Note series and now the S5.
http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-2-3-car-dock/
I've had mine a year and won't have to buy a new one when I upgrade to the S5 because it fits all large Samsung superphones.
It's also adjustable to work with ALL cases, including the extra large cases that have built-in batteries.

The air dock is what ultimately tipped the balance for me getting an S5, after seeing it I knew built-in Qi charging was a must have and since Sprint only offers the Nexus 5 in 16GB flavor (not nearly enough, I've got 15GB of stuff on my SD card today which easily exceeds the 12GB formatted capacity, not to mention 2 years from now).
Hope they will make something like this one :

I got one of these a while back and its quite good, just make sure to hold the back of the phone whilst removing or sometimes the back cover comes lose on a clip or two with S4, the magnetism is quite strong.

Because its so hard to plug in USB lol, is it really worth an extra $75? Also there's no way that thing could output 2A so charging is going to be much slower, just my opinion.

notice my cd changer is curved out but the rubber "fins" still fit snug and very sturdy. They are rubber and do no damage. if for some reason it just will not fit in there on your car model, you can always send it back worry free (with Prime) but it shouldn't be a problem. the grip has a light rubber pad and is controlled by a spring action adjustment. I love it because i can easily place my phone into it by pushing my phone up and in. I take it out with the same motion, press up and pull out. it is made in Korea and the material and parts are very well made.
I really don't know why some of the people here are buying 50-70 dollar suction phone mounts. that is a total rip off.

Upon inspection of both of my vehicles, it looks like it will work really well and actually sit at a great height (within arms and eyes reach) and not block any controls to anything else (only blocking a clock in my Civic and a clock/temp screen in my Highlander)

notice my cd changer is curved out but the rubber "fins" still fit snug and very sturdy. They are rubber and do no damage. if for some reason it just will not fit in there on your car model, you can always send it back worry free (with Prime) but it shouldn't be a problem. the grip has a light rubber pad and is controlled by a spring action adjustment. I love it because i can easily place my phone into it by pushing my phone up and in. I take it out with the same motion, press up and pull out. it is made in Korea and the material and parts are very well made.
I really don't know why some of the people here are buying 50-70 dollar suction phone mounts. that is a total rip off.

thanks for the detailed write-up and pics! I have the phone and iPad version sitting in my Amazon wishlist right now... maybe will push them to checkout next payday
Upon inspection of both of my vehicles, it looks like it will work really well and actually sit at a great height (within arms and eyes reach) and not block any controls to anything else (only blocking a clock in my Civic and a clock/temp screen in my Highlander)
thanks again :good:

I ordered a similar one, well basically identical, and it fits superbly in my 2008 honda accord exl. It sits just below all the controls. I was some what worried about it not reaching out far enough as the cd player is recessed when compared with all the radio and nav controls. But it's about as perfect as possible. The best part about this mount in my opinion is that it keeps a person like myself from having to many items on the windshield. Without this I'd have- Radar Detector, Phone, toll tag, and gps, way to many things, phone being the largest of them all. Anyway, I'll take some pictures and maybe a mini review later. I highly recommend to anyone who want a good out of the way docking solution.

thanks! I'd love to see pictures. I have an '08 civic ex... by looking at my dash, it seems like it would sit above all my controls and only cover up that little screen that shows the radio station and the time.

I'll take pictures when I get home this afternoon. I forgot my camera at home today. Was a bit flustered this morning. But I'll get you some pics for sure.
