Had one of these from ebay for my vibrant and the phone holder bracket kept coming out so I would retighten the lock screw on the back and it broke the connection to the phone holder bracket

Just an update...
This holder is still going strong , well worth it imo..
The holder bits actually pull apart so there are 4 bits holding the tab in place not 2 like in the pics (if that makes sense lol)

Please dont think of this as thread crapping... but why do I see no one talking about the actual Samsung charging holder? Is there something wrong with it?

No it's excellent! A bit pricy here in the UK so I got mine from a US ebay seller. I use it all the time when out driving. It's well engineered and functional. I'll post a pic of it some day....

Got mine via amazon, but i am still using the air vent holder that used with my Vibrant, imo i will not use the windshield bracket as it it will not look good and blocks a lot of the windshield.

Bought one.. Out of stock, Back order. Hope its as good as you say !!!

Poetic Nexus 7 Case Mod

I hate dongles. There, I said it. I. Hate. Dongles.
With the OTG capabilities and the enormous (relatively) storage capability of SD cards these days, it seemed that using a dongle with the N7 was inevitable. So I took the plunge and got one. But what to do about strain relief and <sigh> that damned floppy dongle getting in my way all the time?
I added Velcro strips to the case and to the dongle in order to keep it in place and out of my way when I was using it. Two wide strips on the back of the case, and one on the front provide more than adequate anchoring so that the N7 can sit on my desk in landscape mode AND hold the dongle in place and out of the way without a problem. It also keeps the mini USB socket from sustaining any damage from the dongle flopping around.
Here's the photos of what I did and I'm very satisfied with the end result.

As long as it works for you admittedly otg cables and dongles are not very handy things, I'm sure someone could come up with an all in one solution that matches the base line of the tablet and looks like a short extension of it.

No luck yet but im hopeful
I have send email and a small drawing to a hand full of connector design companies . Asking them about a ribbon like micro usb connector something that would be very slim low profile.. IF i get someone willing to make them . i will start a thread asking for those wanting a low profile usb otg to buy into getting the minimum made. Its like to be about 300 connectors at 25 cents to 1.00 each... There is a unlimited use for such a plug for this and other devices ..
Just thought i would add it as i see the stressful post .. I have a similar thing for my nexus Its ugly tacky and i do not like it .
Nice pics thou

I did something similar to my Poetic case last night., I just used industrial strength velcro, and less of it. Here's a few pics. I'm at work, and in a low light environment, so the pictures aren't great...

Decent car dock from Platinum case/ Evo 3D car dock...

I could not find anything close to what I wanted, so I took some spare parts and made one.
I have the Best Buy Platinum case with holster and an old HTC Evo 3D car dock.
1. Heat and mold the holster so that the phone can be put in it screen facing out. Pretty simple using a kitchen torch and a spoon. Looking at it you would be hard pressed to see it was changed, but now the phone will fit either face in or out (we need it to face out for this purpose).
2. Remove the Evo 3D holster from the Evo 3D car dock. Simple enough, its just clipped on.
3. Remove the rotating/hinged micro USB plug from the Evo 3D car dock because it needs to be turned around the opposite direction of what it is. This took just a little effort as the actual hinged piece needed to be modified slightly and then the circuit board with the plug on it needed to be hot glued back in to the hinged piece. Put it back and and make sure it still swivels/rotates GOOD TO GO.
4. Now put the SGN2 in to the Platinum case that we earlier modified and "plug it in" to see where the holster and car dock need to be joined. I used a single short fat screw and JB Weld to attach the SGN2 holster and the EVO 3D car dock. I used the 5 minute set stuff, so it needed to be put in the correct position quickly. This stuff really is set in 5 minutes!
I also had to slightly modify the upper retaining hinged clip on the SGN2 holster because of the phone being reversed. The phone is held in VERY snuggly. It plugs in the the micro USB quickly and correctly every time. I added an NFC chip on the inside of the holster to launch my Car Home Ultra application.
Here are a couple pictures. I personally think Samsung would make a killing by doing this. But in the end, this cost me nothing beyond what I had previously spent.

Cheap Car Dock Alternative. Bionic Dock.

Being both cheap and a tinkerer I had heard of folks modifying Bionic desk docks to fit the RAZR M but had not heard of anyone who had done this with a Bionic Car dock. Some of you might say "But there is a perfectly good dock for the Razr M available"; however, at $31 on Amazon it was quite a bit more coin than the bionic dock for $6.
So I took the plunge and last night performed the minor surgery. Turned out pretty good. The plastic is pretty soft so I just used a utility knife (carefully) and lengthened the micro usb hole so I could slide over the plug. Had to trim off other stuff that holds the micro usb tip in place but the gutting was pretty easy. Then I had to secure it in its new position since I had to cut away all the mounting plastic so a couple drops of crazy glue to hold it where I wanted it and a good helping of hot glue and its secure.
Works great. Audio out through the combo cable is great. Phone goes into "car mode" when in it.
Pretty happy for $6.

Nice job! I'll be doing this before my next road trip!

Just a note for anyone doing this, 4.2.2 ROMs don't have working audio through the dock yet (at least none I have found so far). So if you want to reap the benefits of a dock, stay on stock or go to Clean Rom 1.1.

It is a good mod. A chore to say the least. I did it in a way to allow space for my favorite case. You have to mod the new also if you want the same.
Edit some moldable epoxy, crazy glue & black sharpie help.

Mountek nGroove
The best dock I've used is the Mountek nGroovel; price point its not terrible at like $20 and it utilizes the CD slot not the windshield.
Personally I hate taking up real estate on my windshield and the height that this dock puts my phone at is perfect IMO. It rotates and you still have access to charging and headphone jack, it also works for garmins, etc. as well

Review: Aukey Wireless Charger Charging Pad Qi-Enabled 360 Degree Rotatable...

Hi all. I purchased this from Amazon and it arrived yesterday. So far, it's just awesome. Small footprint, feels very sturdy, holds phone securely and allows you to adjust the angle it sits for optimal viewing. I did not notice my S6 Edge getting unusually warm like others have said about other chargers. For the money, I think it's great. Any questions, let me know.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00LJKIOSU/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01?ie=UTF8&psc=1

A few questions for you:
** Are you using a case with your S6 Edge while charging?
** Do you have to move the phone around to find the sweet spot to get it to start charging?
** Does it hold the phone well if you have the charger angled a lot?

Hi. Thus far, I only have a thin plastic screen protector-ish thing on the back of the phone, but I am guessing it won't work with a case on very well - if at all. I imagine it depends on the case in question though. I have not had an issue where I had to find the sweet spot at all. I place it around the middle of the back and it just works!
I do have a case arriving today though, so I will test it out with the case on and report back.
For $25, I am very pleased so far. So many others were upwards of two to three times the cost (although some were cheaper too). Hope this helps.
EDIT: Okay, so my new Kavaj Tokyo case arrived and to my surprise, not only does the charger still hold my phone, it charges it through the case! Now I really love this case!!

Looks like this is no longer available on Amazon. Here is one on eBay:
