Mine should be getting here on Friday so I'll post a review once I put it through its paces.

I wasn't expecting to receive mine until tomorrow, but it arrived today.
I'm unable to take any pics atm, but when I get my backup phone back from my buddy tomorrow night Ill be able too. He needed an unlocked phone for his trip to Israel so I loaned him my POS Focus. :P

For now I will say that my GS3 with a Gimmick Five Triobump BARELY fits, but it does fit and charges fine. The bottom curvature with the little slot removed is just slightly off from the curve of the bumper. I can slide the phone with case in and with a little pressure it sits perfectly, however if you move the dock around too much the device will be pushed up ever so slightly causing it to disconnect from the USB port. A light tap on the top of the phone and it'll sit right again.

Ill find out tonight how well it actually charges my phone since it was already at 100% when I received the dock. Now as for the battery compartment in the back, it stopped charging my QCell 2300 @90% sadly. Ill see if this trend continues after a few charge cycles. /crosses fingers

The content of my package consisted of the dock itself, a us DC adapter and 1 USB-micro cable not 2 and the dock only has 1 micro USB port so you have to choose to connect to the DC adapter or to your PC not both unless I'm really stupid and overlooked a 2nd port. I was under the impression that I would be able to have the dock plugged in with the DC charger while also running a USB from the dock to a PC or other device for syncing. Nope, Guess not...

I don't have much more to say at the moment. Gimme a couple days with it and we'll see.
PCs are very much like Air Conditioners.
They both become utterly useless once you start to open up Windows.............

After awhile, Gnome 3 kinda grows on you... tho so does cancer... x_X

I got mine today too, like you I was surprised there wasn't another usb port, but looking at the youtube video there really is only one port. My spare battery also stopped charging at around 93%, I think it may be due to the protection circuit in there. In terms of charging, I had it plugged in with usb and it charged my s3 from 40% to 100% in about 2 hours, but bearing in mind that I was also charging another battery in the second slot. I think charge times are good given that the USB max is 500mA, the thing I am wondering about is that the ac adaptor that comes with it has a output of 1500mA (even 500mA more than the samsung supplied one), I haven't tested it as both my batteries are full atm but ill let you know whether the charging via ac adaptor reduces the charge time by a third.

Interestingly enough, my phone now sits in the dock PERFECTLY with the triobump on. It sit in there nice and snug. Doesn't pop loose anymore if I jostle it around. Very nice

Just for reference, took about 50min to bring my QCell 2300 from 61% to fully charged using the DC adapter. No secondary battery chargin.Just the phone. Not a very heavy battery use day today. I was actually busy at work... lmao

Same here. Just charged my phone from 41% to 100% in about 2 hours. I can live with that. Don't have a spare battery yet so I haven't had a chance to try that out yet. And the my S3 with a Cruzerlite TPU case fits perfectly in the cradle.

I'm using the stock S3 AC adapter and usb cable btw.

just to let everyone know, charging with the supplied ac adaptor is 2.5x faster than using usb, the only issue being is that the supplied usb cable is a bit short, so ill have to buy a bigger one
Please Help out with my petition to get the Griffin Survivor Military Case for the Samsung Galaxy S3

By "supplied ac adapter", you mean the one that came with the Kidigi dock right? Can't you just plug the S3 usb cable into that?
