Default Docks made for the OG SGS II...

Just wondering if anyone knows if they would work with our version...

Epic 4G Touch has slightly larger dimensions and is a bit more curvy. So more than likely not.

OK, so now that the phone has been out for awhile, someone certainly has tried a dock for the SGS2 to see if they work.

I know that our phones are 1mm thicker but there must be some docks that only support the back of the phone. If the usb port is in the middle of the phone then it's only .5mm thicker from there to the rear of the phone, that means if a case has just a wee-bit of slack it should work for our phones... right??

I'm about to start ordering some SGS2 docks from Amazon and see if I can find one that works. If you have already done so then save the rest of us some headaches.

Thanks!

I own both phones, and the E4GT is not only slightly thicker but slightly wider (see dimensions comparison on this page).

You might be able to find an Infuse 4G dock that fits the E4GT though.

Thanks for your input. It's nice to hear from someone who actually owns the device (s) in question.

I'll keep looking and maybe find an infuse dock to try.

Thanks again,

Chad

I am using a Seidio innodock JR that I had from my palm treo pro. It is a charger only I think. Its OK but not a custom fit by any means. I am happy to recycle it though.

http://amzn.com/B005NJ6EPI <--- this from Amazon is the kind of idea I was thinking of. It should work for any device with a micro USB on the bottom of the device. There are even tablet stands that would work in a pinch. I think I am going to order one from Amazon and report back.

Thanks,

Chad

Default Nice but Expensive, I think

Not really a docking kind of guy, but I remember coming across this one and thinking that's nice but expensive, I think

I agree on the expensive part! I like the idea of the one above better because it allows for landscape use also.
