I bought the Samsung cradle...

[anon(19758)]

... that charges a spare battery, and it is fantastic. I love that instead of having to worry about keeping my phone charged I can just swing by my desk, swap out for the (included spare) battery, and I'm good to go. It came in very handy on vacation this week, since service was spotty almost everywhere I went. If my phone died, I popped in the spare. It completely eliminated any low-battery stress. And on vacation... who wants stress?

My 2?.

It's available from ShopAndroid.com, or for a bit less from Amazon.

Love mine as well. Keeps me free from having to keep plugging the phone in. Also useful when I am cycling and want to use the gps, no worries about battery!

It would be nice to have the dock, but it is a bit pricey for me. I do like to have a spare charger, if it drops in price, then i may get it. i got a spare battery charger for my tbolt for $5 direct from Verizon a while back. works on my rez as well. But if it is something you use often, then it could be worth it.

My work involves walking around work sites with poor service, all day long. I was in the market for a spare battery anyway, and they typically seem to run somewhere in the $40-$50 range. To find a cradle that includes and will charge a spare battery is freaking gold. Haven't had one since my old BlackBerry.

I bought the Qcell 2 battery (nfc capable) & spare battery charger package from Amazon for $25, shipping was free with Prime. I am very happy with this set up. I basically always have 2 fully charged batteries standing by and never have to obsess about keeping my phone plugged in.

yeah, if you need a spare battery and charger, then it is good. I just wished that it worked in horizontal mode, i don't have much use for vertical mode.

I only use it in horizontal. Used it yesterday to watch movies on the plane. I think you're picturing the regular dock that charges a phone, as opposed to this which charges a battery.

I bought the Samsung Galaxy Universal Multimedia Desktop Dock and the Samsung Galaxy S III Spare Battery Charging System
. Both are good at what they do. I have them sitting next to each other with a Micro USB Dual Male Y Adapter, so I can grab my phone and spare all at the same time. It really helps my system. Makes me love the phone even more.

Thanks for the information. Does it work with a case?

 

[anon(19758)]

I don't have a case, so I can't say for sure. It does have a little bit of wiggle room, so it MIGHT work with a tpu case.

The Samsung Galaxy S3 Spare Battery Charging System. does not work with my SEIDIO ACTIVE Case for Samsung Galaxy S3.
