Samsung Infuse Vehicle Mount Dock for Skyrocket for DESKTOP use

[CZ Eddie]

Works GREAT as a desktop dock.

It stays put on my desk. I can poke the screen all I want and it doesn't budge. I can whack the sides or top and the phone doesn't fall out.
It's quick & easy to use one hand to put the phone in and remove it and connect it.

I just need to find a widget that allows me to turn on/off the 3.5mm headphone jack on the phone. And then this will be perfect. It synchs with your computer & charges the phone.
There is also software that turns it into "car mode" but I didn't install that.

Get it here for $20 shipped. Mine arrived in two-days.

Pic of the micro USB and 3.5mm audio output jack. You can also see the knob that tightens or loosens the swivel function.

You can see that the mount is a tiny bit big for the Skyrocket, but it's a bonus since it allows you to easily put the phone in there. But it's not loose enough that it will fall out. I use this in my car also and once the USB is plugged in, the phone is not going anywhere!

Landscape mode + cables.

I gave up on the suction cup and connected the sticky pad it comes with. Been in one spot for a couple hours now and I've banged away at it and the phone hasn't budged. It's a very solid surface when poking the screen with your fingers.

Does the 3.5mm head phone jack on the mount work with the SkyRocket? I noticed you have it hooked up in the pictures so I was wondering if you have a way to make the jack on the mount work with the SR insead of the jack on the phone?

BeastMOD ROM has an audio-out dock option in system settings.
But I have no idea how to get audio output from the 3.5mm headphone jack when docked. I've tried a couple things but haven't figured it out yet.
It hasn't been a big deal because I use bluetooth audio. But it would still be nice to get that feature working.

Since the skyrocket looks like it fits with some room into the fuse dock, would it work if I had a case or skin on the skyrocket?

Ditto what yspetner said.

The Skyrocket with TPU/Diztronic case will fit. But it's a very tight fit.
And the USB plug is too short to slide all the way into the Skyrocket when the case is on. So it won't connect.
So if all you want is a stand, then it would work. But you won't be able to charge/sync with the TPU case on unless you can figure out how to make the micro USB plug longer.

The Impact case and SGP cases will not fit at all. Well, the SGP case will fit but it just pops out. It won't stay in place. I haven't tried any other cases.

I like the Infuse OEM mount posted above but can't find it on Ebay right now. I went to the Sprint store and looked for the Samsung Epic Touch mount but they were out. The Epic is even closer in size to the SR than the Infuse was...only 1 mil shorter. So I ordered one on line and will post how it works. Sorry, won't work for those with a case but I keep mine bare.

Don't know why no car dock on the Samsung website for our phone!
