My gf and I have 5 of these and they work well for any phone/tablet that we have tried with them. They are adjustable and allow for multiple configs. http://www.amazon.com/dp/B00N1VDCGO/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl?_encoding=UTF8&colid=31FDGNP3BEYKX&coliid=I2ESZGJMUGAQTC&psc=1

I have it. It's a great stand and I use it daily.

I'll probably 3D print a stand/qi charger for my Nexus 6. If I do I'll be sure to share the 3D files with everyone.

**** IM A NEW MEMBER SO IM NOT ALLOWED TO POST LINKS***
you can find it on usa amazon if you type in nexus 6 case basezip
I use a Flygrip. It works as a horizontal and vertical stand and keeps me from dropping the phone. I having been using one since my Note 2 and always the first accessory I buy.
I use a plastic business card holder on my nightstand. Cheap and simple. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B001E6EWVW/ref=cm_sw_r_awd_iapCub1KJB7Y8
But seriously, just google DIY phone stand, you'll get a zillion of them you can do for nothing. Personally I think the second one is just funny as can be...

This would be a cool starting point ( no, I would not personally use the Pringle can ) for an amplifier type one, since we have a bottom firing speaker...

I like this one as it is natural small and portable
or if you like bigger one
you can search on AMAZON for MINIMAL PHONE STAND
I bought this Anker Stand from Amazon a couple of years ago and have used it for 3 different phones and 4 different tablets. Still works great, and the ability to change the angle is a really nice bonus.

Hey guys! I just bought a Palm Folding Bluetooth Keyboard for my Note. I thought it would be the perfect companion for my Note especially since I have a case with a kickstand. Do any of you have one? How well does it work? Mine won't get here until next week so...

I bought it used for $29.99 + $5.00 shipping, they seem to be MUCH more expensive everywhere else on eBay.. funny I believe these were cheaper before the iPad came out and "Tablets" became popular.
The issue with my by keyboard (not palm) is that every time I connect it makes me switch to the Samsung soft keyboard. Total pain.

My Moto BT keyboard switches the phone to Samsung kb also. It must be either 2.3.6 or TW doing it, rather than our hardware. But it is a pia to switch back every time.

have the same one, but branded HP. It works well, i wrote a guide somewhere here (topic titled "just got this for my note!") the only thing is, the note wont stand up in portrait mode of the stand, and to make it work in landscape you have to clip off the two protruding tabs on the flip up stand.

Mine no longer does anything when I press and hold the BT pairing key in the top left; oddly at first at did give me blinkies and my N7 saw it, but had trouble pairing. I've tried numerous batteries and even voltage tested to make sure they were good.Anyone have suggestions?
I know this seems odd, but does anyone here have an old Samsung Infuse car dock that they could test and see if the Optimus G will work in? According to the dimensions, the Optimus G is in between the Infuse and the Galaxy S III. The GS3 fits into the Infuse car dock, so I bet the Optimus G will fit. If so that would be awesome since the Infuse car dock is dirt cheap.
Also, I noticed the Optimus G floor model at AT&T came pre-loaded with the Car Home app. So maybe they are working on an OEM car dock anyways.
Thanks
Shawn
I'd like to know as well; it actually might work with a case based upon the thickness specs.
I'll let you know, I ordered one for 5$.

Cool, thanks!
My optimus came in today and I was able to modify the car dock to make the optimus g fit. It took a good amount of dremilling to make it fit and isn't the prettiest job, but it works and the usb lines up and charges the phone.

As you can see I did a hack-job on this.... I think I need some better/different dremel attachments.
But, this shows that it is possible to get the Samsung Infuse car dock for next to nothing and you can make it work.
By the way, the extra hole in the dock was for the speaker on a SGS3.
Thanks for posting this.
Where did you get the dock for cheap?
Does the aux out function from the dock work with the optimus?
Sent from my LG-E970 using xda app-developers app
It looks like you got it to fit without a case. Do you think there is enough material in the dock to take more out to get it to fit with something like the BodyGlove case?
Update:
Found a Infuse case at an AT&T store. Paid 5 bucks for it. The phone will fit the case if you take a pair of pliers and bend the corners back a bit. I find it works best to bend the corners close to the charging base more than the corners on the other side.
Also, there is no audio out from the mount. You have to plug the aux cable into the phone to get it to work.

I don't think this will work with any case. There really is not a whole lot of wiggle room, and the micro-usb part of the dock that slides into the phone has to align perfectly.
I bought my tablet Z with a couple of docking stands for around the house but I didn't buy the case as I couldn't find anywhere on how well the two could work together.
I can't see how the tablet could be docked with the case on but has anyone got both and had a play, is it a fiddle?
I generally don't use cases, as I prefer the dock options but my previous tablet, the HP Touchpad you could do both if you so wished and as I've spent a boat load more than the £99 for the Touchpad I'm feeling I should get used to a case.
I'd spend the rather hefty cost for the case if they worked together nicely or I'll just buy a cheapy for when I'm travelling.
Thanks, Manic.

The bottom part of the official case flips out, so it looks like most other cases will not fit. Frameless cases have a better chance of working.

Poetic StrapBack Case will suit it perfectly.

Most of the carrying cases that are built by the company have a very smooth surface and texture thereby giving an exceptionally elegant look.
That one, are one of those elegant case.:good:
Check out the review here:
This mount is very solid! Doesn’t rattle when driving and holds the wireless charger with two openings for the USB port to be plugged into.
The charger is fantastic. Charges up at a decent rate. Obviously not as fast as USB, but good enough to top you off at the end of a trip.
It is also great as a desk stand now that my car is away for the winter.
Been using this on for my nexus 4 and now for my nexus 6

This is a very solid one. I wanted to get it when it is as released but wanted to wait for the price to fall. But it never did. It went up.....

after I had purchased mine, a few weeks later it was discontinued. And some were then selling on ebay for up to $300.
Eventually the price came back down to $50-$75 again. This has been the best car mount i've ever used.
From time to time they pop back up on ebay

Have you used this in your car with the Nexus 6? I had the Choe with my Nexus 5, worked great. Nexus 6 works while stationary, but when driving there's enough vibration the curved back doesn't make consistent contact so I'm looking for a new solution. Thanks.
Used it for about one full day of shopping with the nexus 6 in and out of new jersey. Kept contact the whole time. Could it be the case you were using?
The fact it will charge a hairline under the volume buttons so I have to adjust it, this has been a great charger. Why Motorola is placing the battery at the same line as the volume buttons is a mystery to me, been like this with the droid maxx as well. Using it with a Ringke Max Case this gives me no issues
my experience is the same. i can just clear the buttons and still charge.. very happy about that
really like this. gonna have to give it a try
I've search eBay and Google and can't locate one yet. I'm going to keep looking for this because it looks very promising and easy to set up.

I'll keep an eye out for it.
I just got the Nexus 6 as a replacement for a defective device. Long story, it's not a size I would have chosen, but I'm falling in love with this beast against my will.
I'm not a large person, but I'm pretty active. Obviously my old jogging armband doesn't work with the 6. Has anyone found one that will? Ideally with the case on it? I have this case on it. It's a PITB to get off.
Thanks for any advice you have.
I have this one I got from Amazon.
I like it a lot, but you won't be able to use your case with it.

I have a little fabric armband that a friend gave me the other day. It's actually for a iPhone 6+ so the headphone jack hole is at the bottom. No biggie I can flip the phone upside down in the case. It stays in there fine. I used it for the first time today to work out. Um.. well during one arm rows whenever I'd pull up the weight the volume would go down. At one point I'd somehow booted into the bootloader screen. It was insane. I couldn't help but laugh at myself. I almost hardcore factory reset my phone while working out with just my left bicep.
Moral of the story? Try to find an armband that is made for this phone. I'm sure I can use the armband my friend gave me for running but nothing else. For those wondering this is the armband. I hope I can post this link.

I have the supcase armband as well. Have had it for several weeks and gone on several runs with it. It holds great and you can actually remove the band from it and use it as a case as well. My only complaint, which I don't know if you would even call it a complaint is that the velcro on the armband holds REALLY well. To the point where it is a little bit of a struggle to pull it loose.
Thank you all very much!
