It probably won't. I had their EVO 4G version with the slot to charge the extra battery and that didn't either.
if you have a case on your phone do you have to take the case off to make it fit when charging?
Seems like it, may work with the stick on decal skin though. Why can't they make an removeable insert like the iGrip car dock is beyond me....
I would like to know if it will activate dock mode on the phone.

Thanks for the info! I actually think I like that one better than the one I ordered off of ebay a few days ago. I may get this one too and then have one for work and one for home, but I use the Defender at work so that would be an issue...I dont know, just thinking out loud...
I had my eye on that one for about a month and kept searching for a US seller to buy it from as it would be easier to return if anything was wrong with it. I finally found one last week at Amazon that looks like the same one, but rebranded: "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle / Desktop Docking Station for HTC EVO 3D".
Search Amazon for ASIN: B005DIJOZQ and you'll find it.
The one I ordered arrived today and I am now testing it. So far, so good. It does a good job of charging the phone and holds the device at a good angle for watching shows, etc. I watched two episodes of 'Game of Thrones' on HBOGo using this cradle tonight.
I like the spare battery slot because it holds the battery upright instead of horizontally and uses less desk space. I'm still charging a battery in the slot now, so I can't tell you how well the spare battery slot works yet, outside of noting it is a bit of a snug fit, even for the OEM battery that came with my Evo, but it does seem to fit.
There are two LED lights on the front. So far, the left light remains blue and the right light remains green. I haven't seen them change as I've charged batteries or removed phone or battery from the phone, so I'm not sure they do anything significant at all.
I'll report back when I've had enough time to charge the spare battery in the slot now. I am very interested to hear reports from anyone who buys the Kidigi branded cradle too. I need a second cradle so I have one for the home and another for work, and I'm waiting to buy the second until I've had some time to test this one.
Oh yeah, I can confirm that the RND branded cradle I ordered from Amazon only fits the phone in the original case or at least cases that add no extra dimension to the Evo 3D. Also, the spare battery slot would not fit an extended battery that is larger in dimension than the original battery.

The RND model I bought does not activate dock mode automatically. If it truly is the Kidigi model with rebranding, then I expect the Kidigi model doesn't either.
It looks nice...not a bad price either...

My eBay dock came in today and I love it! Big thing for me is charging an extra battery, which the eBay dock does. Also, my phone fits in the dock with either the HTC silicone case or the Otterbox Impact, but the charging nipple doesn't go in deep enough to trigger charging. I'm sure that could be modified to work quite easily though if anyone cared to, I don't....

After testing the RND dock I posted about yesterday, I have found that the spare battery slot doesn't work very well. You have to fiddle with a battery to get it to make a good contact and it's pretty unreliable for charging the spare.
The dock section for the phone works well, but if you are like me and want a dock that simultaneously charges a spare battery, pass on the RND model.
If someone has a better experience with the Kidigi model, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I still think it likely these are the same cradle branded differently, but I could very well be wrong. The pictures just look too close for comfort for me.
supposedly, the Seidio model, which does NOT have a spare battery compartment, does activate dock mode, and since there are removable inserts, will fit phone with some cases still on them..I ordered one, and hoping for delivery today or tomorrow
copped the kidigi model finally after going back and forth
I really wanted that one as well, but, I don't want to have to take my case off constantly to dock the phone when at my desk; I hope the Seidio dock allows for my otter box to stay on while docked..
I tried to order that Kidigi dock when they first posted it, but even a month ago, they were only saying "tentative" shipping in August...Let us know how it works for you!

Do you have a link or a brand name?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...818692?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43aa59c504
Looking to pick one up for primarily charging/syncing but most likely will be just charging since USB charges slower than the wall but I'm not sure if this charger charges at 1A or not.
I just ordered one yesterday. I need it to charge the fat extended batteries in the back slot. I am hoping that that if it doesn't come with a 1.0ma charger, I will be able to use one that I already have and get a decent charge time.
ive bought many ebay docks for many phones from many chineese dealers. these days i only buy from nakedcellphone
Only see one pic in the link when viewing on my phone, maybe there's only 1 pic, not sure. Anyway, from what I can tell, it looks just like the one I have. Mine works great for charging my phone and my HTC and Anker batteries. Phone docks nicely naked, and actually also works with some silicone an tpu cases. Seidio Surface w/kickstand case works, and even my Otterbox Commuter which really surprised me!! The charging tip just barely goes in deep enough to initiate charging with the Commuter. That's the only issue when trying to dock with thicker cases: The phone/case fits in the dock, but the charging tip isn't long enough to initiate charging. I assume that if it was much longer though it would cause the phone to not sit flat because the charging tip wouldn't bottom out in the phone (hope I'm making since here where you can understand me, lol, trying to explain it where it makes since).
Anyway, bottom line is the dock works great and well worth the money. I bought a generic dock for my Evo 4G and it never gave me a single issue. To my knowledge its still working great for the guy who bought my Evo 4G an all accessories... I'm gonna buy a generic Ebay dock for whichever phone I purchase next too. I have yet to see the need to spend more money on a dock with a name printed on it. Most of those don't have a spot in the back to charge an extra battery either, which is an absolute must for me! I probably use the battery charger more than the dock itself. Go for it, you won't be disappointed!!

the desktop/full site will show more pictures if you scroll down. can you confirm if it's the same item you have and at what mA it charges at?
Site: Amazon Link
Sleek Design
Support phone while sitting at an angle
Charges spare OEM battery while docked or otherwise
LEDs to show charging status
Will not fit with a case on the phone. Best buy - buy a quickly removable case (such as TPU Cases)
I don't have stock rom so I can't verify this triggers the phone for Dock Mode. Somebody will have to verify!
Once the spare battery is charged I flip it over to just hold the battery until I'm ready to use it.
PS: Does not throw my phone into a boot loop!!!
Love the purchase.
I waa looking at buy this charger too. I was wondering if it has any options for size adjustment as i hate to remove the TPU case.
I was plannning on getting one for the office and one for the bedroom.

Not familiar with those batteries but most aftermarket batteries fir this phone cause it to boot loop when plugged in via usb or docked. Best bet is just to buy another oem battery. Can be found for $25 on amazon.

Thanks. I went ahead and just got the dock. See how that goes before dropping the cash on extra batteries.
I can't believe for any reason that all this would come cheaper than $10.

It's true. I got same case for $2.95 and it's a great case. For the rest I can't comment. Anyway, you can't go wrong with this deal. China shipping baby...

It's true.. just some cheap stuff from China lol =P but ships from the US instead.
Purchased! I can't believe that price lol. Well to anyone who is interested, that is a deal to jump on.
I bought some stuff from itrimming years ago, yes cheap, I don't remember if I bought the radio transmitter, the case for my zune, charger, extended battery or what, but something I bought "broke" and something I bought "worked" so I should it was
What's a good rating on chargers for our phones battery? mAh rating etc. I'd like to get a car charger that won't quickcharge the battery but do the same "full" charge like an AC/USB charger
I just received my order from them. I got the same one execpt without the ac charger. It all works good. The case fits so well that the rockers are almost invisible on the sides. The clear shield is cut very accurate but a little small all the way around. Having not used any other shield that may be the way they all are cut. I don't work for them as everyone seems to point out.
I got one, I figured "tough case" incase I decide to go do or be somewhere where my phone might need it instead of my "pretty" SGP Neo Hybrid. + I needed a car charger. 8 bucks ain't bad.

Haha yeah I really wanted one of those cases but when I saw this deal i couldn't resist. I'll let everyone know how it fits etc. and if the accessories work once it all comes in. I ordered yesterday, shouldn't be too far away!
Ended up buying one myself. I'm sure the chargers will break sooner or later, but for the price . . . why not?
I have the same case, just got it on Friday. I've bought accesories many times from Itrimmings on e-bay and have never been dissapointed.
For that price i couldn't refuse....Nice case by the way doesn't add weight to the phone.
I have this case from itrimmings and LOVE IT.
I got the case and a different chargers in the full package today for 8 bucks it's alright but I don't feel comfortable dropping the phone in this case

I guess now it is too good to be true.
"This listing was ended by the seller because the item is no longer available."
pics anyone?
For the $8 bucks, I'll tell you this. . . Well worth the $$ I paid. I got an extra wall charger for work, extra USB cable for the computer/lappy, extra car charger for trips.
The case, VERY NICE for what it cost (I think with everything else, the case would come out to $4) I am having some trouble getting used to the power button being harder to press, but other then that I can't say anything bad about it.
All the holes fit perfectly, it *kinda* sticks in your pocket, so its hard to pull it out while driving if needed. Other then that, I'd have to say its good enough for my needs.
A cheap case is fine, but your phone could flame up or explode using the wrong battery or charger. I think someone died once because of a pocket explosion.
Nice case for a decent price. Like the looks of it, but can't stand the feel of TPU.
Can anyone comment on whether the car charger (and wall charger) works with i777? I got a generic car charger when I upgrade the phone, but when I plug the phone into it in the car, the battery level _drops_ instead of increases! That basically makes it impossible to use the phone as GPS...
Amazing deal. Thanks!!!!
Just bought it
Seidio has released there 5,000 mAh battery. It is on there site for $79. I'm gonna try it, just wish it had the extended battery door like the n7000.

this thing is huge!
No offense but, that thing is hideous. It takes less than 30 seconds to swap out a battery. For $80 you could buy the OEM charging station (includes OEM battery) + 2 spare OEM batteries. You would in effect have 10,000mah of battery power at your disposal.

Don't buy it. I had an extended battery on my Captivate that had a hump too and I hated it. I would just rather have the whole door be big then just the bottom part.

They designed it that way to keep NFC intact. Look at the backdoor of your Note and will see two contact points on the NFC antenna that need to make contact with two contact points next to the microsd card slot. NFC compatible extended batteries on eBay have the same design. Also might explain why Mugen is taking so long with their variant because they could not find a work around.
However, that battery might fit with one of the non NFC compatible back covers on eBay. So you could sacrifice NFC for a better look with the extended battery.

Not only is the battery expensive but it makes your phone ugly as sin. The phone is big enough but when you add this battery it turns it into a brick. Don't know why anyone would buy this.

I would love this battery. The only reason I havent purchased it yet is because I cant find a damned case that will accommodate it. I could give 2 ****s about NFC or the size of my phone (in fact i have always used extended batteries and I think it makes me drop them less). Does anybody know whether there is a case for our ATT version that fits around the camels hump?

I have one of these extended batteries on my Note. I also had one on my Blackberry before I switched to the Note. I require a long runtime with my phones, and I am not going to carry multiple batteries around with me to do so. Tried that with the BB, and hated it, and went the extended battery route.
So...I agree with the previous post about the battery door being stupid looking.
When I bought the extended battery (from ebay), I received a door for an international version of the note. I knew that was what I was getting since the extended battery door for the LTE version was not out yet, but I wanted to see if I could make it fit somehow. I also was aware that NFC would not work with the new door, and didn't care, since I haven't found a need for it yet.
I got the battery and international door in. battery fit fine, but door did not. I tried trimming the tabs a little and was able to make it fit, but not *lock* in place like the door should. The company I bought the extended battery from said they would send me the LTE door when they got them in, (that is another reason I was willing to try all of this).
I got the LTE door in. Yes, it is ugly. I like the style of the international door MUCH better. I am using the LTE door for now. Battery life on this "cheap" 5000 battery has been awesome. Previously, I was getting only about 6 hours per charge. Now, I am getting 10-12, which gets me through my day. No...it probably isn't a true 5000 battery, but for $12, and a company willing to work with me on the door, I was happy to try it out, and I am happy.
As for protection for the phone with an exteneded battery door, I have this coming in:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/120841214598?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1497.l2649
I am hoping that this will give some slight bumper protection but allow the battery bump to stick out. It only surrounds the very edge of the phone, not over the speaker like some of them do, which won't work.
Ok...to make this post even longer....
Anyone know of an extended battery door that looks like this one:
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-GT-N7000-Extended-Capacity-Replacement/dp/B006W4JNZ6
that will work on the US LTE? I know it won't have the NFC antenna, but I don't care. I just want one that is shaped like that instead of the ugly bump one I have now.
