Anyone know if the airdock 2.0 holds the n6 very well?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2946839
The Indiegogo site says that it works with the Nexus 6. Since it has not been released for anyone to verify, I would trust the maker of the Air Dock 2.0. It is an amazing dock that is built a good reputation, I would not think that they are going to make claims that they can not backup. Ordered my Super Early Bird, will let you know as soon as mine arrives.

The 2.0 version ships in February. I have the original (ordered it from Indiegogo too) and it does not hold the Nexus 6.
The video they have up on the site shows the N6 being used, shows him taking it off and putting it on. Of course that doesn't exactly show us how strong the hold it, but it at least holds...

I won't disagree with you when you say it doesn't work with yours, but I got my n6 on nov 30 and have been using my airdock without issue so far. granted, I would never put money behind it never falling off, but after thoroughly cleaning it the first day with an alcohol wipe it's been working and has never slipped/turned/fallen off so far.
it's not vertical though, I have it on the extended arm airdock sells and it's tilted back a bit.. ymmv
The 2.0 looks cool, but it's going to have the same problem as the original - it's a flat surface and the N6 is curved.
I'm hoping the rumors of the AirDock creator making some type of adapter for the N6 are true.

Nice. Please keep us posted on what you find out. I have the original AirDock, and would rather see if he's releasing some kind of adapter that would work with the original before ordering the 2.0.

Yeah, if it's the case that I have to buy a whole new dock then I'm going with the new Tylt car charger, at least that has some flexibility for the future.

Here's the email that I received.
If you are going to be using the Nexus 6, then we ought to get you the Nexus 6 version of Air Dock 2.0 We are just about done developing a curved face for the Air Dock. That curve would match the N6 perfectly and hold it much better. It's going to be a little while before we have these units ready to send out, but it would be much better for you if you have the N6
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
I got my super early bird redemption code this morning and ordered my dock.
Anyone else?

Only thing I don't like about the tylt is there is no place to plug in a charger at the bottom for when I wanna charge my phone faster than wireless and use my quick charge 2.0 charger. Bummer
At $110 I have left the Airdock far far behind. There are equivalent docks out there for less than half that price. iOttie for one, itian for another, and even the over-priced Tylt is less than this. I suspect airDock is not long for this world.
Does anyone have the Airdock 2 yet? Does it work as well as they say it does?
I'm also curious about how stable the long flexible arm is. Does it jiggle a lot?
My Airdock 2.0 finally came in today after a long delay.
It seems to stick to the Nexus 6 very well. I was a bit worried considering the N6 doesn't have the metal discs in the back like the N5 did. Asticker with metal discs embedded is provided, but I'm not sure I want a big sticker on the back of my phone though...
The dock is concave to fit the curvature of the back of the N6. The one downside to that is you can't put the phone is landscape unless you rotate the dock 90 degrees. Since the ball on the mount fits into a 45 degree elbow connector, I haven't figured out a way to angle the dock so it sits level. I may have to play around with it a bit longer to find the right setup.
I can update this post with some photos if anyone is interested.

Did you get a tracking number/shipping notification? Which mount did you get for it? Pics please! Do you have a case? I'm planning to put the sticker in my case...hopefully the sticker isn't too thick, is it?

Yes, I got a tracking number.
I went with the CD mount as I don't use CD's in my car. I also have the long flexible mount and the standard mount from my Air Dock 1.0 purchase.
I don't use a case so I can't comment on how that works.
The sticker is as thick as a normal sticker.

I had gotten one of these...It works, but not great. It is made for a netbook, so when it sits in there it is very low. On mine the only way it was useable was to balance it on the swivel point.
I ended up getting the BookGem (Also available from amazon) and I love it. I actually have two of them!

Just in Michael's I think. It's nothing special to behold. Just a typical picture frame holder. It looks something like this: http://www.salinepictureframe.com/showroom/products/8in-ebony-wooden-stand/
They have those at Walmart for $3.50 or so I believe. Do a quick search on this forum on my username for a picture of the one I got at Michaels for $3.99 (actually $2.00 with the 50% off coupon!) the other day. I like it because it is completely adjustable, which is important in light of the comments regarding viewing angle in portrait.

The bookgem looks like a neat and portable stand. Will have to try it out. The photo stand is one that I think I will buy for home use. Great idea indeed. Can't see myself luggin it around to the office lol.

I bought a BookGem from amazon.com. I love it. It clamps (spring loaded) onto my gtab so that it is securely attached and moves when I move the gtab around. It can be clamped on the top as well but that doesn't work as well because the gtab border is narrower there and so it is actually clamping onto the screen a little bit which interferes with tapping, i.e., the gtab only supports two finger presses at a time and it thinks the clamps are finger presses.
It has rubber pads on its feet and on its clamps.
I also like that it folds up flat so it fits in my carry-all for convenient transport.
Anyway I like it so much I bought a second one for my other gtab.

Oh I am glad to know about this. I am using mine as desktop replacement too, and I went ahead and got a USB keyboard since I will mainly be using the keyboard when I have the tablet on my desk and plugged in. I figure I will get one of those things that lets you plug a bunch of stuff into one USB and then I can use my old mouse which is still good.
I am also using a "cheap" rubberized wire book holder that I found 2 for $5 or something like that at amazon. I think the postage cost more than the holder but it works GREAT and I can still fold it up if I needed to put it in the tablet's carrying case or something.
My Microsoft wireless does not work, I am thinking about the HP BT keyboard.
Here is my g-tab on a $3 stand.

Received mine today from Amazon. Wow, what a great little piece! A lot more solid than you would think. I can type and tap pretty hard and it doesn't budge at all. Very adjustable and works horiz and vert.
Highly recommend this!
Nice.. I just ordered this from ebay.
This custom mount is what I'm currently using .
I got one as well. I like it, but it was a little bulkier than I was expecting. Still a great product.
I agree it's a good product. Tried the plate stands

Thanks S2W for the review. I have a question for you. I also have the bookgem but don't know if mine is defective. When opened the gem sits on the front spring rather then the the two front feet. It seems like there should be a rubber pad on these (to stop it from sliding and holding the gem above the spring hub). Does yours sit this way?

Your welcome... The spring hub is aligned with the 2 front feet of my stand. I did notice that when I closed the rear legs, the spring hub is no longer aligned. Standing the bookgem this way will give you a bit of that teeter-totter action since its meant to stand on an angle. But don't care for it as much in this position since it becomes no longer use as a stand but closed to put away.
Overall, I like the stand. Hopefully you're within your timescale and can return it back if defective. IMO, Its kind of useless to me, if you dont have the front feet stabled and aligned because of the spring hub dropping lower.
We have to trust that our Gtabs are secured. So if your unsure I would return it.
Glad you you caught the video.
Book Gem
I've had my book gem over the weekend and had to make one mod.
just above the book gem sticker there were are two pyramid looking stubs.
I took an excacto knife (a box cutter knife should work as well) to reduce the stubs and filed the remain flat.
Other then that I love my Gtab Gem. With the legs in, it's easier to hold with one hand, imo.

Black leather case delivered
Thank you for your excellent YouTube review. I'm now enjoying the leather case that arrived today. An excellent fit, no problems with port access or power/volume buttons. Definitely adds class to the G-Tab experience. I highly recommend it!
Stand and Case Together
Great videos!
I really like both the case and the stand, but would like to use them together. Is it possible to use the gtab with the stand while it is still in the case? Maybe you could do another video review of both together
Anyone know of a Kindle DX case that folds over into a stand in landscape mode? The only ones I have seen the stand is in portrait mode.
Thanks!
I must thank you. I was going back and forth between getting the Kindle DX case and the Zec case. I was on the fence about the Kindle case, but your video review totally solidified my decision. Got mine in today, and I couldn't be happier.
Thanks, man!
Saw your review of the Kindle case on YouTube. It was instrumental in my decision to order it for every day use. Thank you for taking the time to put it up there.
I had ordered and received one of those cases with the built-in usb keyboard before I made this decision as the keyboard is not silicone and will damage my screen if I decided to use it every day. The other case also didn't really keep my tablet secure at all and I felt it would slip out of it at any given moment.
I stopped carrying my powerhouse laptop with me when I travel on business (with the power adapter it weighs about 20 lbs). Now I just carry my G Tablet and use LogMeIn Ignition for Android to remote in to my laptop I keep at my office. I kept the other case so I can use it when I travel on business and need to type a lot. But I am really looking forward to receiving this Kindle DX cover so I can use it every day.

In the video, it looks like the wings come in contact with the touchscreen itself when placed in portrait. In light of how strong those springs look, I wouldn't want them in contact with the touchscreen at all. Perhaps this case is more for landscape only?

After reading this post I tried to place the gtab on portrait and carefully examine what you stated above... with mines it doesnt touch the screen, I will say that the paddings are close by the border of the touch screen but does not effect it. I can only speak for myself on this.
Hope that helps.
Thank you SIR!

I'm with the gentleman above. I would love to purchase this one but can it adequately be used as a landscape stand? That's really the make or break decision for me. I currently use the cheap carrying case from Sears to hold it so I may opt for the Bookgem or another case.

Thanks for the heads up. I ordered one yesterday. They haven't shipped it out yet so I could cancel but I think for $20, I'll take the risk. They do have great return policies.
I know the one with the keyboard is comparable priced but after putting aaron's back cover on mine, I don't really want to stick velcro on the back of it to keep it in place.
I guess I just should have opted for the Book gem and continued to use the Sears carrying case.

I was just coming on to post this because it seems as if this company is selling a different case now. My case doesn't have the same sheen on the outside, nor do I have the larger pockets on the inside like the one in the video. Never the less, it seems to hold the tablet the same, so I'm fine with it. Best option I've seen for the price I paid. ( $18.50 with free shipping.) I should add that I'm fine with the smaller inside pockets, as they don't push on the screen like the one in the video, but I do wish I had the outer cover as it does look like a better quality than the case I have.
hello guys! As I go through my research on getting a case that is just meant for my g-tab, finally after a long browsing and searching, it is already available in Amazon! (mostly good for U.S. consumers)
Attached are the pics which I uploaded for you guys to see. Also, it looks like it just came out so there's no reviews yet or maybe I'll be the first one who will write the review!
Will give this a try in Amazon.

Funny they are apparently relocating the tab just like everyone has been doing here. So you pay $10 extra to get someone to mess up with your brand new case with an exacto knife and hot glue
Hope they pre-modded some in advance and you guy don't need to wait for them to get it all the way from china do the mod and then pass it your way.
thats true...at least if I'm not satisfied I can return it easily to Amazon.
I also got the skinomi skin protector so if this case will scratch my screen,I'll be able to tell. I also hope it will hold the tablet well enough.

Thanks for the heads-up on this. I thought about ordering one from ebay, but Amazon is so much easier to deal with, and Florida is soooo much closer than China!

Wenger case
Bought a protective soft carrying case at Best Buy that fits perfectly - it's a Wenger (has the red cross logo). Just took my G Tab in and experimented till I found the right fit. http://www.wengerna.com/search/results.php
Great for travel, but sounds like the Amazon deal may be better.
Purchased the one on Amazon. Ordered Friday and received Monday. Works as advertised. Tab moved from blocking USB. Patch looks great and well done. USB cable more than long enough. This is a WINNER!!!

This case holds the G-tab well. It has the magnetic snap so it won't fall on you. Got mine today, Im satisified with it. Keyboard works too.
here's a quick review i wrote up for androidforums.
-nice material, well made
-keyboard works flawlessly with VEGAn (i didn't even get a prompt, just plug and play)
-keyboard functions will run android commands (i.e. windows button = android menu button)
-stand holds it at a great angle for viewing (this is a must, especially with our screens)
-does not cover any accessory ports (micro/mini USB, headphones, charger) or buttons (power, volume, etc.)
-DOES cover part of left side speaker and all of right side speaker (although you can still hear them)
-no plastic bracket to hold top of tablet (uses the magnetic closing strap to keep it in while upside down which concerns me slightly, although the magnet is fairly strong)
-included stylus does not work (duh)
all in all, i would certainly recommend this case. i am pretty sure that the only comparable ones out for the g-tab right now are $10-15 more than i paid through amazon, do not include a keyboard, and ship from China.
i have much better pics than the ones on Amazon, but i can't post them yet. [email protected] newbie mode!
Case Update

LOL! I hate that snow! See that's the thing, I am a bit skeptical doing online purchases outside US... not that I don't trust them but might as well wait till it's available in US market, plus on top of that is you can track them but I hope u'll get yours on time! Give an update if it works well on you.

Received it today! (17th of January to the 2nd) Looks good, keyboard works, modified for the Gtablet (http://witglobal.com/goods-2286-10i...for+Viewsonic+Gtablet+10+-+Free+Shipping.html) so the tablet slides into case from right to left. The left support covers the mini-USB but the USB port is available. Keypad works fine. Case sits a little too upright but I can deal. For $25 delivered it works pretty well. i also received my suction cup holder (http://witglobal.com/goods-2005-Car...nic+Gtablet+10+Car+holder+-Free+Shipping.html) and it is a little less impressive. Currently suctioned to my desk. The arms cradle the unit securely but stick out about 1 inch beyond the face. I will probably put a little velcro to secure it a little better. Not overly happy about the fit but for $20 I might be able to modify it to work. It does swivel nicely which helps for viewing angles.
These along with the dock I received, I think I have all the accessories with the exception of an HDMI cable.

So this is the same case from witglobal but $10 more?
correct me if I am wrong but the case witglobal looks to good to go with no modding needed now right?
Thanks for the help

Amazon case
Looks really good, BUT Amazon now says on-order, unknown when back in stock. I am very new to the gtab and still using as it came from the box, a little afraid to try and do to much to it. May just wait for honeycomb.
CaseCronw is releasing standby case today and it looks promising..i see that the other cases they sell for other tablets have gotten pretty good review.. i just wanted to get some opinions before i jump on this..anyone else thinking of getting or ordered it already?..

Looks nice and under $20. Assuming this is fulfilled by Amazon like their other products, I might have to pick one up.
edit: There's a video in the reviews for the iPad version. Looks great! Tight fit and very thin.
http://www.amazon.com/CaseCrown-App...Y8CR6S3G5&s=electronics&qid=1308957186&sr=1-1
checking out shows $26.56 with tax and shipping.. can this item be fulfilled by amazon at some point? i think i still might jump on this, its still cheaper than most other cases.
Damn, I'm tempted to get this. I've been wanting a good case and I already have a carrying case by case crown. But Roocase's case seems like a better option because its multi angle.
Ill probably pull the trigger on this sometime this week. I just want the thinnest stand case possible. The multi angle is less important to me than being thin and light. Most of the others are bulky and if I wanted something an inch thick that protects the screen I could just just carry the keyboard dock.
The pics on Amazon of the CaseCrown look identical to the case (Jazz) I bought from Steve over at electroniccrap.com..
http://electroniccrap.com/store/index.php?main_page=product_info&cPath=34_36&products_id=51
The flap on the back and the way it tucks, along with the viewing angle and case material seem quite comparable...
I'm happy with the Jazz...fit is good and material is decent, especially given the price point....is rather difficult to type at the given angle...I think I would prefer something with multiple viewing/typing angles and a little better quality material...but again, for the price paid it is a good option...I'm betting the CaseCrown will give similar results...
Ryan...should give you the thin, light case you are looking for...that was my main need and am satisfied from that standpoint...
Is this about the thinnest and lightest we can expect from a fold over case like that?
I'm getting tired of not being able to bring my transformer out due to not having any protection. Stingray, you're making me want this case even more so I hope I'm not disappointed after I order it.
Actually now that I look at it the pictures, it seems like the jazz might even be thinner than the casecrown? It's hard to tell but maybe I'm just seeing things?
Went ahead and pulled the trigger, worth trying for 25.
Finally a case built specifically for the transformer that looks decent! Definitely looking to get this. Can anyone confirm whether or not the tablet docks correctly WITH THE CASE ON?
None of them are built with the case accommodating the dock. It would pretty much require the entire bottom to be cut out.

TuffLuv will work with dock but is expensiveand the bottom is mostly cut out.
Looks right for the price. **Purchased!**
Has anyone got this shipped yet? It says in stock july 5th?
just thought i'd throw in my 2 cents here. i just bought 10 CaseCrown iPad2 standby cases for upper management at work and they are really nice cases. one of my friend had one and after messing with it, i liked it enough to recommend to the execs. as soon as the case came up on amazon for the TF i ordered one immediately.
i highly recommend CaseCrown.
Just got an "out of stock" email. They said resupply by Jul 8. Debating cancelling my order.

Got an auto email Friday stating they will ship Jun 27th but got nothing so shouted email to them and they stated they did not have enough stock to meet the preorders, next stock they receive is no later than July 8th. I threatened to cancel so they are willing to discount $3 if I wait till then. I preordered Jun 15.
I am in Canada and don't know how these guys ship so I may get this case by August. HA, HA!
Weird, just checked my email and they state it has been shipped.?

mine shipped out today, can't wait to get it!!
The dock compatibility has the downside of exposing the bottom to possible dust and impact. Only way I see a case supporting dock to be fully protective when undocked is if it had some kind of detachable bottom for when you need to actually dock, Probably would be good if it was held in by tiny pop-in buttons of sorts and with a as small a presence as possible so it doesn't cause any discomfort in holding the tablet.
So a while back I ordered two moto stands because they were on sale. I hardly use one of them so I decided to modify one.
This is what I came up with because I had been wanting a qi wireless stand. It was a lot easier than I thought.
Took apart one of the stands. Under the pad are just four lil screws, then just clipped off a couple of tabs so that it can lay flat on the back of the qi charger.
I didnt want to use super glue to stick them together, then I remembered I had some adhesive for cell phone screens and that stuff is strong, for being super thin (i think 1/16)
Here are some pics. Works awesome and looks good.
Looks nice. I like it. Props on the creativity.
oh btw i took the pics with my N6 lol
I might try this with mine, I mainly use it for holding my phone when I do work but this is a good idea.
This inspired me. I just bought all of the stuff to do this.

haha awesome
With this setup, it only charges while it's standing up. I wanted it to charge both ways standing and laying on the side. But now I like that I can lay it on its side after its done charging, without it continuing to charge.

Yeah I might see if I can't change the position of the charging pad a bit so I can charge it on its side. I'd like to use it as an alarm clock type dock.
links to the parts you used?

It's possible, the charger would just need to be lower. Or if you had one of those rectangular ones that have like 3 coils. I think theres one on amazon that I saw thats the same thickness as this round one.

Could put the charge port at the bottom and run the cord through the back of the stand?

I dont think it would make a difference with that charger, I tried it that way and it wouldn't charge the phone sideways.
Just got a nexus 6 and i see that this stand is on sale.
Does the charging pad work with the N6 in that position?
I like the subtle plug for FKupdater.
How well does it work with a case? My nexus 4 qi charger works while the other I got for my Sammie doesn't. The nexus charger is just very difficult to find the sweet spot and get it to stay there. I'm currently is using the supcase unicorn beetle heavy duty case, awesome case by the way. Thanks

with this setup, it will only charge in the portrait position and yes works perfect with the N6
