I have the samsung universal desk dock and it works fine with my note 10.1. With that said I found what works best for me as a more solid and stable stand is called the I pad loop made by Griffin, kind of a slanted rubber coated circle with two notches in it. When i place my note in the notches for upright use i can fit my mini blue tooth keyboard where the note would sit if used in the flat position for nice stable typing. For speakers I use a Jawbone jambox which I think sounds great or my LG bluetooth headphones. I purchaced the loop several years ago at mu local Target store so im not sure it this is still avalible but its simple, cheap and works better for me than the samsung dock.
