Desktop cradle for UAG mount?

[johnsonsteven1986]

Can some one recommend a good cradle for use with the UAG case. I want to be able to use my phone as a click at night. I want something I can put a NFC sticker on and automatically put it in clock mode when I put my phone on it.

Been looking for something like this as well. Unfortunately most of the cradles with a high back have a slim opening at the bottom where your phone in a thicker case won't fit. Slim flip case or tpu case works fine, but when you start getting in UAG/Convert/Defender category - those won't fit. Maybe others can chime in if there is another cradle to fit Note 2 in a thicker case, but I have seidio cradle coming to me next week for review and they supposed to guarantee fitment with Active and Convert. Don't quote me on that yet, I will not know until I get it next week and test it out with various cases. Will post pictures as well. The drawback, it doesn't have a high back for NFC tag I want to see if I can stick it on top of it or a side or something. In theory, you just bring it close to activate night or whatever mode you need and then place it in the holder.

Business card holder. Got a metallic one from Staples for a few bucks. Even use it in my car since I'm low on windshield space to mount a cradle.

Oops, I might off missed the original question. Were you looking for a cradle with a charging port or just a cradle? Cause that seidio cradle thingy I mentioned about is actually a charging base that can take Note 2 with a thick case. For just a cradle like it was mentioned above, you can find just about anything that will fit

Charging port would be nice but I already counted that option out. I could probably easily just bend a piece of aluminum a few times and make it work but I was trying to see if there is already sometging available I can just order and be done with it.

Hey all I'm still looking for something that will work. It has been a while since anyone responded to this thread, and also since it's been out, but Maybe something has changed in that time. Any new news? The Seidio Dock works for the Active, but not for the UAG

Seems quite amazing, pretty much covered the requirements needed to accommodate the note 2 with a case. As to whether it will actually accommodate the Note 2 with a UAG case, I can't say for certain.

It doesn't have a high enough back support to allow for the use of a NFC tag, but perhaps one could glue a piece of wood/plastic to the cradle in a way that acts as a back support and slap an NFC tag on it. (probably won't look as nice though)

Looks nice! Is this a dock in just a cradle sense, or dock in the specific pin shorting to trigger "dock" mode?

Not 100% sure, but it states that it is capable of data sync and charging output at 1A.

If you wanted to trigger 'dock' mode, then best bet would be to use a NFC tag or learn how to trigger dock mode by modifying the micro usb with resistors.

The 2nd option is something I plan on playing with in general. I was hoping for something "out of the box". If you get this, please let us know what you think. That 1A sounds lowish.
