Can anyone reccomend a case that will allow the phone to charge while on the dock station?
Having to take mine off now when I want to use it is becomming a nuisance, besides causing wear and tear on the case.
I currently have a 2 pc TPC case that lets it sit on the doc station to charge, but doesnt allow the connector to get in and allow the phone to synch.
Thanks for any assistance.
hijack...I have the Case-Mate Barely There case...anyone know of a compatible dock for it?
Same question, I have a hybrid tpu case and I'm looking for a dock/cradle that will work with it... The closest thing I've seen is the seidio cradle, but I'd like one like the anker/kidigi one...

yeah i noticed that part, but when i looked at the pics with the removable insert it didnt look like that much of an increase in space.... i guess the only real way to find out would be to order 1 and test it lol

Is there a car dock that fits the otterbox defender? I got the iGRIP a week prior, and of course it doesn't fit. Only with tpu cases. So does anybody know of a car dock that will fit it? Yes I could probably hack the **** out if the igrip, but thats not what I'm looking for.

your best bet is to go universal dock
Had anybody found a universal dock to fit the with the otterbox defender? Or any dock that would fit it for that matter? I just got the mountek universal today in the mail, and you guessed it. Doesn't fit in landscape position.

Yes, I have a universal dock that I used with my Evo 4G with or without my Ballistic HC case, and now my Evo 3D with or without my Defender case. I'll try to find it and post a link. It attatches in to a power outlet(charging port) and also gives you a power outlet built in to it so you dont lose an outlet. Depends on your car though as to whether this would work for you or not...

This is the exact one that I have. Mine has padding on the bottom, sides, and on the back. I dont see this one showing any padding on the back, but I imagine that its there. I've had it for a year and have no complaints. The only modification I did was took a black zip-tie and sercured the power port on the dock. You actually dont even notice it, unless you are really looking for it, but it does blend in really well, and you can secure it to face which ever direction works best for you.

Oh, and this is cheaper than what I paid, I spent over 20 for mine, would do it again too. This mount works perfectly in my car, just the right location

I would also love to hear about your experience with this. I am more than likely getting the Defender for my 3VO, but really want a car mount that'll handle it.
Really wish I could find something like the Defender, but instead of a holster it had a belt clip with an attachable knob for the case to attach a belt clip, like http://www.amazon.com/Body-Glove-Elements-Snap-Sprint/dp/B002XIWKQ4 for the CDMA Hero.
It's just going to be really uncomfortable to still be wearing the entire holster on my belt while the phone is in the dock in my car. Gonna be a slight hassle also if I had to take the holster off every time I got into and out of the car.
I may be nitpicking, but I suppose everyone has their quirks.

Have you carried a phone in a holster before? Maybe is just me, but i never even notice the holster, assuming it's in the right spot. I carry my phone in a Defender, holstered, Mon-Fri and in pocket on weekends.

I've used these things on my Evo 4g and the work great. I just got one for my 3d with the defender case and my only problem is it's a little snug with the usb cable plugged in. I basically have to remove the cable before I remove it from the holder.
goto ebay and search slipgrip 3d otterbox defender and you'll get all the options
now all I have to do is find a new holster for the defender because I broke off the belt loop
Hey all,
I found this on amazon. Thought maybe some might be interested. It's a cheap alternative and I've already placed my order for it. 9.58 isn't alot to spend and that's all i figured I'd lose. I ordered the brown one but there's a black one too. Might be a cheaper alternative to the tuf-luv case since some were worried about the bulk. I'll update this once I receive it and give you some pics.
Since it won't allow me to url tags or give out the url, search for Navitech + Asus and you should see what I'm talking about.
Let me know what you think!
This looks JUST like the Elsse Premium Synthetic Leather Case (there's a thread about this elsewhere in this sub forum). They were having a discussion there about whether or not the case would work with the dock as well, and I guess the answer would be yes, if you unfasten the velcro?
Can anybody confirm?
Is this what you mean? Looks good if not a little thick when all combined.
Anxious to hear any reviews.
Yeah...that's what I was talking about...apparently they must have had a huge messup with the price because I got one yesterday for 4.99 + 4.49 shipping....they've sent it and it looks like it's coming from the UK...anyhow...the 4.99 are gone and they've got only the 19.99 left. I'll give a review once I get the case...even if you undo the velcro, you can still to a material store (joanne fabrics, etc.) and get a longer velcro strap to hold it together. Thanks!
Wouldn't the rooCASE Slim work the same way?
http://goo.gl/V0RMe
roocase does not do the samee thing at all; this has a case for the tablet, then also for the docking port and then they finally work together somehow.

Looks like someone gave it 1 star on the Amazon product page. According to the reviewer it does not accommodate a docked tablet too well.

Looks like the reviewer may have a legit point. If you look at the sideways pictures, you can tell the tablet is not docked. The tablet hangs over the edge of the dock by almost an inch. Anybody who has the tablet with the dock knows that when it is closed, there is almost no overhang. I know I won't be buying it.
With that said, if anyone knows of a better case. Even one that would store the dock and tablet separately, I'd like to know about it.
ilgadets,
If you're interested in a sleeve case, I recommend this one:
http://www.overstock.com/Luggage-Bags/Wenger-Swiss-Gear-Legacy-10.2-inch-Tablet-iPad-Netbook-Slimcase/5804731/product.html
It has two zippered pockets, handles, a removable shoulder strap, and pockets on the front and back,
and it fits the Transformer and keyboard dock (separately) perfectly.
The handles can be slipped into the pockets, but that adds "bumps" that I didn't like.
I wanted the thinnest possible case, so I cut off the the handles and the triangular clips for the shoulder strap.
I think this is one of the best solutions for carrying the tablet and keyboard separately.
Regards,
Eric
FWIW - I grabbed one from best buy for an HP Mini 10 and it works perfectly. Fits very snug with the dock, and i feel safe carrying the tab around in it. Also has a zip pouch for a cleaning cloth, HDMI adapter, headphones, and other small items.
Was about $25 iirc... so a little bit more than what you're looking at here.

I have the exact same one, mines black and kinda has a 3D cube kinda pattern on the front. Anyways, I'm an employee, so mine only set me back $7. BBY employee discount is changing though, so that won't be the case in the future.
Anyways, case fits great, holds tab or tab+keyboard excellently.

Are you guys taking about a case or a carrying bag? Unless I'm mistaken, I believe the OP is talking about a folio type case for both the tablet and dock - kind of like this Tuff-Luv combo case.

Yes that is the exact case I have it has been great so far, also if you turn the phone facing the other way the audio jack is mostly uncovered. I think you would still need to cut it out just a little but not near as much.

I've actually found that with this holster if I push the phone up a little bit from the bottom I can use the headphone jack.
The phone would be in the holster WITH the cover closed and basically just not touching the bottom of the holster.
But I don't know if the only reason that works is because I have a bulky (d3o) case.
Other cases or just the bare phone might cause the phone to slide down and sit on the bottom anyway.
Also was just on T-mobiles site and I noticed a D3o pouch as well

Just checked it out after you mentioned it, looks like that holster has d3o technology built in.
However I don't think it would hold the phone with a case on it.
Looks pretty slim.
And definitely does not cost 4.57 with free shipping lol.

Anybody know of a good case that works with the stock extended battery, preferably a hybrid case something like a Seidio Active series with a silicon and plastic combination that has a belt holster? I know about butchering the Otterbox to make it work, but would prefer not to go this route if possible.

I've got the Supcase as well (I have the white phone and got the grey/clear case). So far, I like it a lot. Wireless charging works through it, just barely; it's almost too thick, so you have to be careful how you position your phone to avoid the "slow charge" warning.
The only issue I have with it is the weight; it's heavy enough that my Infinniapps magnetic car mount doesn't work with it. I could have moved the magnet to between the case and phone and it probably would have been fine, but then the plate would have blocked NFC or Qi. I just went and bought a different mount unit instead with clamps instead of magnets (this one) - the reason I went with magnets was because of the clamps hitting the buttons on the sides, and since the G3 doesn't have those it should be fine.
