What accessories did you guys buy with your Fascinate?

[eleazar123]

I bought the desktop cradle/dock and the black holster. I'm tempted to go without an actual case because I don't want to have to bother with the case every time I want to dock the phone. I get to pick my Fascinate up from Best Buy in t-minus 8 hours!

I ordered the desktop charging cradle, and the windshield mount. Both look very cool.

I ordered the windshield mount kit. It is pretty nice after I figured out that the charge port moves to make it easier to mount the phone in it. The only problem so far is that when I ordered it online it stated it included the car charger, but when I received it earlier there was no charger so I guess I will be calling customer service when I get home. Not sure if I will use the anti-glare protectors either because they only cover the actual screen and not the entire face of the phone.

Where did you see that it came w/ a car charger? All I see is this:

"Samsung i500 Vehicle Mount transforms your device into a multifunctional navigation tool! Easily and safely gain access to maps, voice search, your contacts and more with a single touch! This custom fitted mount includes a built-in power port for convenient in-vehicle charging! "

No picture of a charger either. For $40, you'd think they'd give you a charger along w/ the piece of plastic.

The spare battery charger (the one Verizon sells) comes with a second battery, right? I thought I saw it for $29.99

Don't think I need it but I may pick it up next week.

 

[emvious]

Yes it includes another battery. BTW, the spare battery charger does not have a plug.

If anyone knows of an extended battery that is the same size as the stock battery, please post where you have found it. I would love to get one that doesn't add a bulge to my phone.

Fascinate Accessories

Given that my Fascinate is an upgrade from my old Moto Droid I decided not to buy the dock\car mount again. (I sold that equipment with the Droid). Instead I found a hard(ish) shell case that the VZW store carried, added just enough thickness to the phone to no longer feel like i was gonna destroy it. The Droid was a tank so the Fascinate felt a bit thin to me. The case is nice though leaves everything super accessible and has a kickstand built into the back of it so at night, i just pop that out and tap the dock icon. Sure i have to start the Dock and Car mode manually but it's not like it takes long.

I am tinkering with a few different universal car mounts till I find one i like.

I purchased the extended battery - I'm not much of a case guy so I didn't want to buy one... I came from a touch pro2 so I absolutely love the extended battery's added weight and thickness. It also has a ridge, even if it makes it look "pregnant". Ridge makes it feel better in my hand and also makes sure that the lens of the camera will not be scratched (as much).
