I know that many of us here are looking for a desk type dock that actually will work if the Note has a thin case on it. Anyone know of any? I can't see having to take the case off and put it on every time i want to use the dock.
I just ordered this.
http://www.ebay.ca/itm/D018-Desktop...381241?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item27c4142d79
I've got a Momax iCase Pro on my Note, so we'll see how the dock works with it (if at all).
I ordered the same thing. Hopefully it works.

How do you like the Momax? Its a toss up for me between that abduction the Yoobao.

The Elago G4 slim case works fine with docks but has open top and bottom.

I'm liking the Momax so far. It's got a lip on the front, which I love, and the fit was ok. The phone is much more comfortable against my ear now, but I had to trim the inside of the case where it touches the power button. I think the international note had a little more inset on the power button, so this case was over compensating with a little bump there. Quick trim sorted it out.
Bringing this back on topic, I can say for a fact that this dock (http://www.ebay.ca/itm/220923137856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649) which I bought prior to the Momax case, is not at all compatible. It is however a good fit without a case (not that that's any use to me now).
Curious about the doc that the OP is talking about. Definitely want to see more pics of docs with cases.
Just thought I should follow up on this now that I have the dock.
It fits great with the Momax case, and looks much better in person than I thought it would. Also the ebay seller was very good, they screwed up and sent me the wrong dock at first, but they caught the error, and shipped the right one within a day (and told me to keep the wrong dock when it got here, no charge).
I'll see if I can take a few pics in a bit.
Sorry to revive the thread, but could you put some pictures of the dock ?
I have a case mate Tough..I guess I'm screwed for now ?
I have one of these from Seidio, and it's GREAT. Small footprint, easy on, easy off. Works just fine with my mercury gel case.

As my attempt to organize a group buy was closed I might try the tegratab forum to start one there.
The case is still in the mail but I hope to have it soon.
I will post pictures of the original dock later today because I have to run out for a bit. The dock I hope will be in the mail soon but as I mentioned before.. it's expensive.
Here are the pictures of the official malata dock.
Sorry, forgot to post them yesterday.
I like the looks of the dock. What types of connections does it have on he back?
it's the same connections as the copy version on taobao.
1 x ethernet (10/100)
1 x HDMI 1.2
1 x USB
1 x Power
I hope to have more info on this soon.
looks nice....i am about to buy the tab from Sears, would love to know the price of the dock, is this the official dock ? how much did it cost and from where?
It's the official malata zpad dock but I don't have it yet. Unfortunately the pricing is like $65 so I don't know if I will order it because that's a but on the high side for me too.
The sample case will be arriving Thursday (Dec 2nd) if customs doesn't slow it down any more.
I'm sorry..
Sorry my friend, maybe my mistakes Caused your post has been closed.
You will be get the sample tomorrow?please give me a
information.
The case was just delivered but UPS!
All the work has paid off!! It's a perfect fit for the g-tablet.
Will get some pictures online tonight and start a group buy at a different place.
Here are the pictures with the g-tablet in the case.
Case is made out of real leather (smells better then chemicals) and the inside is a soft suede to protect the tablet.
The viewing angle works perfect for me and when I am looking at the screen I don't have any problems with the bad viewing angles of the g-tablet which is a big plus.
It's very sturdy and even sitting it on books or an uneven surface won't make it tip over.

Is there a version of this without that click flap/strap thing? I'm looking for something really simple like the apple made one for the ipad which is similar in design but doesn't have that clumsy clasp thing. Thanks.
If you want one without the strap then I think that would be possible yes.
It's a fairly custom product.
I'd also prefer without the clasp. Since you have one, can you see whether it is easily removed or unstitched?

It's the sample..maybe have the one without click flap/strap.instead of Built-in magnets.and,the part of the standing can also be changed into scaffolding. cut into the bottom bracket from the case.
I would love to get one which is custom made for the tablet? How much is it to get it delivered in Florida/USA?
It's not allowed to sell here but send me a PM and I can give you more info.
Case looks great Agreed. Smaller clasp with magnet instead of snaps would be ideal.
How long would it take to get a batch made in such a way?
I'll arrange for one without the clasp/strap.
I would like one without the clasp/strap also
I'm curious to see what it looks like without that clasp/strap. I'm very intrigued by this case, it looks really good.
I'll try to get more info on the options and if without is actually possible.
To give my 2 cents. I wasn't crazy about the clasp either from the first pictures and that it sticks out when sitting down. Now that I actually have the case I wouldn't want it without it. It feels solid when closed and looks very nice. Everyone their own choice
I'll see what info I can get.
I'm trying to get a place together to organize the group buy so hang in there.
For more info just PM me and I will try to get back to you as soon as possible.
Thanks!
I ordered my G Tab from Woot as many others did. I really like the thin iPad 1 case and have been searching for one for the GTab but haven't been able to find one. I'm not really looking for a big leather case. I'm looking for something similar to this forum post on the Galaxy site: ht tp:// forum.xda-developers.com/ showthread.php?t=893697 (sorry I can't post links)
The Galaxy case that is sold at hand held items (link to hand held in the above spaced out link) looks very similar to the iPad one too but is better because it's not an "i" product.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Steve's cases look much better than the Case Crown cases. I got one of the CC cases and it stopped "fitting" after a few weeks. Opening and folding the front back behind the tablet caused the bands to stop gripping the tablet and I just stopped using it overall.
I'd highly recommend looking at Steve's store: http://electroniccrap.com/store/ind...cription=1&keyword=viewsonic+g+tablet&x=0&y=0
I'd have gotten one of his, but he was out of stock so I ordered one of the cases with the keyboard built in (came out to be $35). I have to go pick it up at the post office, as it was delivered via registered mail and has to be signed for.
It's a great case but still not as good as a custom case

I was one of the early adopters of the CaseCrown case for the Kindle DX for my gTab. It looks pretty classy even though it's not real leather. Good quality construction. Some people were reporting that the elastic tabs at the top were getting lose with time but I've used mine for over three months and didn't notice that on mine. I have to say thought I didn't leave my gTab in the CaseCrown case when I was using it but only really had it in the case for transporting it from home to the office or some other away from home locale. The one thing I will report that is a slight negative about the CaseCrown is that after three months of use I did notice the side of the case that is up against the back of the gTab was getting slightly bent and the felt lining was beginning to bubble up a bit. Even with that slight issue this case I would highly recommend it. If you can part with the cash I would strongly direct you into the direction of one of the custom cases as those are more tailored for out gTabs.
I hope you enjoy your gTab as much as I do mine. I've basically replaced the need to lug around my really heavy beast of a work laptop and now do my off site work from my gTab accessing my laptop remotely via LogMeIn Ignition.
Since I've purchased my CLIP from it2steve I have put away my CaseCrown case. I have no use for it now so if you're interested I'll be happy to unload it on you for next to nothing. Send me a PM if you're interested.

I hope for your sake you didn't get the one that I had before I unloaded it on eBay. It does work but that's where the positive ended for me with that case. The case really looked CHEAP and I was embarrased to take it out in front of other people at work or at a client's site. Also, the keys are hard plastic (not silicone) so I was afraid it would rub against the gTab's screen and do damage since the case also didn't hold the gTab snug but rather let it slide around in there.
This case may be good for students but really is not suitable for a professional environment. It will definitely give the Apple fans something else to snicker at if you work around them.

Just picked it up from the Post Office today, works great but they sent me one with the wrong clip locations, even though I specified Viewsonic Get Tablet as they instructed.
I am going to fix it on my own as others have done because it took 3 weeks to get it.
Overall I'm very happy with it for the price of $35 total.
Hey~ I just brought a gtablet from woot last week~ it is cool~
1. now I want to buy a case for it? so which case most of you are using now? and where I can buy it?
2. I want to buy a keyboard too...and now I am using the rom TNT Lite 4.4.0~ so which keyboard can be supported by this rom (including the usb keyboard and Bluetooth keyboard)? and where I can buy it?
thank you very much!!!
You can read up on this thread for info about several custom cases for our gTabs.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1013799
And then go to Steve's web store at http://www.electroniccrap.com and see if he has them in stock to order. I would suggest you get on his mailing list there so you will know when he's got new stock coming in.
As for keyboards, there are several that work. About any usb keyboard will work but certain bluetooth keyboards require extra software sometimes to connect.
Take a moment and use the SEARCH feature of this accessories section and you will find all the information you are wanting for this.
At the moment I am using the CLIP case and love it.

Do not buy the case in your eBay link. I've had one before and it is a piece of junk. While does work, it looks and feels really cheap and doesn't hold the gTab securely at all and let's it slide around a lot.

If you're asking about the CLIP case I mentioned in my earlier post then the answer is yes. It holds the gTab very securely.
If you're asking about the usb keyboard case in your first post then no. It lets the gTab slide around a lot.

Well, the holding pieces are made of metal. So, you can bend it until it fits your gtab. You don't want it too tight either or you can't take it out. You need to find your happy medium.
You know why it feels really cheap? Because it is really cheap. For some of us, it works just fine. I go back and forth between a lab and my home. I don't need something that looks like a $300 case to impress anyone.
But again, if it doesn't fit your gtab, all you need to do is bend the metal pieces until it fits. Be creative, man. Isn't that the spirit of modding?

If you get lucky and receive the one that has the left tab moved down so it doesn't block the usb port then sure you can bend the metal to make it hold a little bit better but not much better. Most of the people that have ordered this case from eBay or another site get the one that you have to remove the left tab to access the usb port so there's nothing there to tighten up.
I don't need a $300 case either. I'm pretty happy with a $45 case I got from it2steve's web store.
Amazon was selling them (gtab case with keyboard) but ran out. I spent way to much time, but found the Manufacturer in Chine. They have fixed the tab possitions. Now the left tab is about the center of the gtab, and the other one is on top. They sell for $24.95 with free shipping. Note that it may take up to 30 days go get it:

Sorry, you will have to add a : and a . to the above url to make it work (I can't post links yet).
If you poke around on their site, you will find that they are still selling the ones that have the left tab up high for $14. I figured I could easily move the tab (I've see several posts about doing this), so I was going to order two of the $14 ones until I found that the shipping was not free. So I ended up ordered the one with the corrected tabs. Will see how long it takes to arrive.

Some of them were made for another tablet, so I'll give you that point about the tab not being in the right place. But your original criticism was about the gtab not fitting nice and tight in the case. My post was a response to that point and that point alone. The tabs are made of metal, so instead of throwing your hands up in the air and cry out "o lord o lord why hast thou abandoned me!?" you could have been a little creative and bend the metal tabs to your liking. Again, being creative is exactly what the modding community is about. 5 seconds to bend the metal tabs too long and hard work for you?

You don't know what brand, do you? A search for that brings up literally like 400 things in Amazon, and they're all similar but none that stand out. ideal features:
-Can charge and/or use headphones
-Easy in/easy out
-Relatively slim
Sorry for the late reply, was out of town.
This is the case I have, HTC HC V701 is the model number, if you search on amazon/ebay you'll get some results. It comes in black and white covers (although I only found the black one at 25 bucks on amazon), shell is always white/semi transparent.
It has all those features you mention, only drawback is it does not feature a magnetic clip to close the flip cover, as some wallet/book cases do.
I uploaded some pics here after I got it, hope it gives you a general idea.

Thanks man! Only issue is that it doesn't look like it includes the "wallet" portion for me to store some cash and credit cards in when I don't want to carry a separate wallet, but I might give it a shot.
If anyone has recommendations for cases that include wallet slots I'd be interested in hearing them, too.

I went through my amazon history and I bought this one february 20th and its still going.
Its less than $2 and $3 for shipping so its pretty cheap I might buy another.
The corners of mine cracked about 3 weeks in with the case but are still holding the phone in. I have dropped it a time or two and the phone has never fallen out.
At the max you can fit 4 cards and 5 bills so this might be the only drawback.
I would recommend this im deciding if I should buy another or just use it till my contract expires this fall.
thanks! the one on amazon looks nice!
I'm starting this thread because I'm interested in finding covers and cases that attach to the phone as a replacement for the backplate, thus keeping it as trim as possible. The only one I've heard of is Samsung's own original covers, but I'm hoping there'll be others.

Sorry for being the third thread on this topic. I did a search, but didn't find anything specific on backplate replacemnt cases. Did find various on wallet and flip cases. Even if Samsung is taking forever, hopefully other manufacturers will jump in. But perhaps the backcover is patented?

I've been spending ages looking for the same thing. Definitely not a patent issue. There are literally hundreds of pages of various Note 3 covers on Amazon, many of which are replacement battery doors. Problem for me is that most are window cases claiming to be "S-View", none of which actually work with the s-view functionality. If I can't get a working S-View then I'd rather not have a window at all. I'm not sure about the official Samsung cover because it looks like it makes the phone much bigger by thickening the back to extend over the camera, and I want it slim as possible.
Best options I've seen so far look to be these:

There's also this:

Final interesting one is this, which is the first 3rd party case I've seen which claims to properly support S-View. Looks pretty much identical to the Samsung case though:

Please let me know if you turn up anything else interesting, as it sounds like we both want the same type........

Thanks for all of your suggestions.
S-View support in the case would certainly be nice, but it is not a top priority. My priorities are:
1) Back cover (battery cover) replacement, not an outer attachement.
2) Some pockets for cards and bills, actually the outer front cover could come with a foldout for more cards and bills.
3) S-View support
I have an original Note and the case has two slits for cards and a long slit for bills, but it also comes with an outer attachement cradle, and that is a little too much bulk to be really comfortable. Since the Note 3 is thinner it would be real nice to utilize that for a better case experience this time around. Hence, I'm not that particular about price, although I believe the original Samsung S-View cover is waay overpriced, I have ordered one just to establish a base line for what is available out there.
I have started to encounter vendors that lets me use the NFC for payment, but lets face it, this will take at least a decade to take hold. In the meantime I still need to carry around some credit cards and bills. Some day I can hopefully start my car and open my doors with my Note 6.

I ordered and received a S-View case. The backplate is removed to attach the new case, it has two connectors that will allow you to use the S-View feature and charge it with wireless Qi chargers. There are no pockets for cards or bills, but the S-View window is a usable feature, it has two windows, swipe from right to left, the first shows time, date, weather and in my case a step counter, the other is for music, action memo and camera. The material is a leather like plastic that feels sturdy enough to withstand a smaller drop (not planning on testing that) and an added benefit is that the Note will fit in Samsung's multimedia dock with the covert attached.
Hopefully, third party vendors will come out with even more usable covers over time.
