I've just ordered an N700 (won't be here for a few days but i'm excited) I've been looking for any kind of desktop docks but can't see any, so i'm probably going to make my own.
Does anyone know the the pad contains a dock sensor ? (pins / magnetic etc.)

so I've been using the generic ebay evo 3D dock that doesn't have any guide on the side and require one to wiggle the phone around to insert the charge tip into the phone. Getting a bit tire of this, and wanting to buy a new dock.
Does anyone know, beside the Seidio and the new Kidigi HDMI dock (too expensive) any other alternate options for Dock that would work with a case (typical TPU case)?
Yes I searched, there were a few thread discussing docks but no answer to my question.
No, I don't want to use a car dock like iGrip (i use that in my car already)
Thanks
Does anyone know of a case that would account for/allow connection to the keyboard dock without taking the case off?
Skinomi works
I have the one discussed in this thread. Works great. I posted some pics of it in use with the doc as well

I found a Verteks one on order from Amazon that permits the Tablet to be used with Dock without removing case. it cannot be closed with the dock on it though
there were other branded ones that looked the same as the Vertek
Does anyone know how the skins for the back work with the dock? seems adding thickness would interfere with the docking mechanism
I have just bought a Thinkpad Tablet (the original andriod version)
Was looking for a thinkpad tablet dock here in Australia as I remember that they were selling for $40 at one point. However couldn't find it online anymore.
On the online chat with a lenovo rep, he tells that dock 2 will work with the the original thinkpad and more interestingly.... HDMI will work from the dock as well.
Can anyone confirm this? HDMI was a major missing thing from the original dock
I think it will work. The port for the tablets is the same and I found out the original android dock was supposed to have HDMI out but they removed it before release.
You can see it in the picture I just took.
Just found this picture from the Lenovo site.
Is the original dock compatible with the Thinkpad Tablet 2?
I don't need all the ports. I just want to charge faster. The original dock is much cheaper.
Neither dock is immediately cross-compatible.
I had a TPT1 and still have its dock. My TPT1 was upgraded by Lenovo to a TPT2 after numerous warranty issues. They also gave me a free dock since I had purchased the TPT1.
To this question, I'll caution owners from buying the "other" dock for their device. Neither is 'out-of-the-box' compatible with the other tablet's physical dimensions.
The TPT1 dock is intended to be used in portrait mode, and the trough in which the tablet is seated on the docking connector is "boxed" on all four sides. Since the TPT2's connector is on the bottom landscape-wise, it cannot reach the TPT1 docks' connector as-is. You'll have to cut pieces of the plastic and metal dock off at the ends of the "box" to allow the TPT2 drop onto the connector.
Here's a pic of the TPT1 dock's "boxed" trough:

I also estimate that the TPT2 dock will not work with the TPT1-- if someone is doing so successfully, I will be happy to be proven wrong! :laugh:
The reason I think it won't work is the comparative width of the TPT1 vs. TPT2. The TPT2 is significantly slimmer than the TPT1. While the TPT2 dock is not "boxed" on the ends like the TPT1 dock, the trough looks to be too narrow to allow the TPT1 to slide in to it. The TPT2 slides in snugly, and it is much thinner than the TPT1.
This pic is not as clear as I'd like, but it is attempting to show that the trough of the TPT2 dock (held upright in my left hand) including the plastic lip in the front is still narrower than the TPT1 trough.

Hope this is helpful.

Is there a source for the TPT1 docks? seems scarce on ebay and internet
Wow... they have become a little scarce.
Amazon - http://www.amazon.com/Lenovo-0A3395...65591584&sr=8-1&keywords=thinkpad+tablet+dock
Also the connector on the TPT2 Dock is a little bit different than on tpt1

I have a Tab 2 10.1 and the Samsung Universal Desk Dock (not Media Dock). I want an always on cover that I can flip over to show the screen while docked (and being charged). What case would work? A thick case probably won't fit in the Dock.
Thinking about the Samsung Book Cover or a IVSO Smart Cover.
Would consider others that work without removing the cover before docking.
Any thoughts on what will work?

Depends on what type of case you like, I got this one
http://www.amazon.co.uk/Samsung-Clip-In-10-1-inch-Galaxy-Tablet/dp/B007UQRI3E/ref=sr_1_1?s=computers&ie=UTF8&qid=1355414411&sr=1-1
Samungs own case, expensive £38.00 but works OK on the universal dock charger. What model is your tab? It took a lot of time searching for the correct case, so many models numbers and most cases do not confirm which one fits which model etc. This one is for the tab 2 10.1 P5110 all cut outs, plus a nifty crometty thing for audio jack when in place.
cover case...

Has anyone found a suitable car dock for the dual screen? It seems like most of them don't open wide enough to accommodate both screens (6.5")
Wireless charging would be even better but since the pad would be near the side I don't know if anyone makes something like that
I use this one with a custom bracket to fit my dash.
You can adjust the bottom supports to suit the folded or unfolded size.
I use the LG dongle for charging.

I stuck a metal plate on the inside of the DS case and im using a magnetic holder. Works well, but you'll lose the wireless charging capabilities with case on. For me it was worth the compromise.
Magnetic holder on the air vents, get two if you want to put it more secure, I left the metal plates inside the case and not on the phone itself
anyone consider using microsuction tape? haven't tried this yet but it seems like it could work.
I would like to use a QI Car Charger.
Anyone has an idea which one to use for the Dual Screen Mode?
The left grab-arm must be way shorter.
Or does anyone know a QI Charger which grabs the Phone from Top and Bottom?
Ali got it
I ordered this one for the price of 4 $ and 42 cents. that is including shipping from China to Holland LMAO

Should be possible to have the phone opened up, do 2 or more things on the phone AND driving at the same time
Seriously! Don't do that!
