Just got my dock in the mail from a Japanese eBay seller. Nice build quality. Recognizes when you plop it in and asks if you want it to play your music.

However, all you get is a dock. No charger or even USB cable. My original cable is so worn that it barely holds in the N7 any more. That was the main reason I wanted a dock... so I didn't have to keep plugging in that damn micro-usb. That all being said, the micro-usb port on the dock is way better quality than the one on the N7. No wiggle at all.

I've got a couple spare on order from Japan. Not looking to make a profit, but with the broker fees it will probably be around the $60 mark if you want it from me. I'll probably have to post them on eBay or something, since it looks like we are not allowed to buy/sell/trade on here any longer per the marketplace forum closing (just found that out the other day).

If you want, I can give you my broker's info, or maybe you can find a person in DE to broker it for you.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
Nowhere yet, soon hopefully.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] IRX120:
I've only got 42$ so thanks for the offer, but I'll pass, saw one on eBay for around 80 or so
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dissmadismz:
I don't see what's the hype about this dock? It would be nice if it had some speakers, maybe a bluetooth keyboard. We'relacking some good aaccessories support from Asus. They need to step it up
[Nexus 7 Accessories] durajim:
They seem incapable of a smooth country wide launch of a single product... Let alone world wide - I'm not sure wishing for more accessories is the best plan just yet!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] AceKingNYC:
Hey yall, longtime lurker here..

SlashGear just posted an article this morning saying it will be available January 10ish. The article says that B&H photo (Huge camera, electronics store here in NYC) has it listed for pre-order on their site, but no concrete shipping date.

I agree with some of the replies here - it looks really nice, but it leaves much to be desired.

I'm sure others are really hype to tear it down and find out about the pins!:)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] durajim:
I just spoke to Asus UK and I quote: "No exact date, but it's looking like the end of January"

Laughable.

I will not buy it anymore. Dont understanding this philosophy.

My Nexus Dock has arrived today. External Audio is working, AC/USB charging is working, but USB OTG + AC/USB charging at same time doesn't work.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
These are still available, but at a premium.

I almost ordered one yesterday for £43.93 (US $70.99), but then I saw sense :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] shapka78:
Just ordered mine at asus shop in France. 29.99 euros + shipping. Normally it arrives in less then two weeks.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
So thats 29.99 euros plus 7 euros for shipping. I wonder how much it will be on Asus UK when it's released; either £25 at the current exchange rate, plus £6 shipping, or more likely, it'll be £29.99 plus shipping!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] rm79:
This is probably one of the most confusing/frustrating product launches I've ever experienced. I really want one of these, but so far all I'm hearing is "It's available in this country right now, maybe... Should be available in that country in a week, maybe... Sold out in that first country now, not sure if it will be coming back, etc". Seriously, how can something like this not just be available for order from any country through some official channel (eg. Play Store / Asus website)?

Where can I buy pogo pins?

Beamed from my Grouper
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Foggy79:
Seriously?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
Are you confused and trying to make your own pogo dock? Because to use this dock you just need to look at the left side (bottom half) of the tablet.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] pradeepvizz:
LOL :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Mutedfaith:
+1 It's just a glorified charger that you have to pay $50 extra for the privilege of using. Also a pain in the ass if you use a case.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
Please excuse everyone, your wording made it seem like you wanted to buy pins to use this dock.

I believe there was a thread on here following somebody trying to build their own, might want to give that a look.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ynrozturk:
I'm not paying $50 for a glorified and at the same time, bland charger.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ofiaich:
Hi everyone!

I will arrive in Japan on Thursday morning and my friend will give me this when we meet! :D

Ofiaich ;)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] PsychoMcSatan:
I agree that it's totally overpriced. But this is something I now can't live without. I use my N7 as an XBMC remote so it's always being picked up and put down and it's nice to just drop it into a charger rather than fiddling with that awful micro-usb.

Now that the official dock is out, I'd figure that somebody should be able to make a reasonably priced knock-off soon.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
I hate you.

Just picked these up- http://www.amazon.com/ARCTIC-Sound-...=1357580727&sr=8-1&keywords=arctic+sound+s111

You know, in case this comes out in the next five years.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
Do you fancy picking me one up while you are there?? I live just down the road from you (M1 and A19) :D
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ofiaich:
I'll try but no promises! Wedding speech to do and lectures at university to do all in Japanese. I will post here when I get back, away from this Wednesday for 10 days.

I might be able to get one for you from here for 3480 yen..

Yodobashi Camera is same price

It's about 25.00 pounds! I will do my best....

Murphy's Law UK will get whilst I am away!

Send me a PM of where along the M1 A19 you are.. I live on the other side of Hull near to Holland! :)

Ofiaich :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
^ PM sent :)

Even if we get them in the UK while you are away, I will still buy one from you if you do manage to get me one. One for home, and another for work ;)

Woo, it's popping up on the usual suspects in the UK -

http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/official-asus-google-nexus-7-audio-charging-dock-p37683.htm

And nxtab.co.uk appears to think it'll be available "in the next couple of weeks" Not holding my breath.. ;)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] zAm1987:
Mine (ordered from Asus Germany a week ago) got shipped today. Hopefully it'll arrive tomorrow :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Steve3581:
Mine has been shipped today! Asus web store (France)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] vorcers:
Mine also shipped today :laugh: (Germany)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
Tomorrow is the first rumored release date here in the US, keep your eyes peeled everyone.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
Where? B&H bumped it back to the 16th.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
B&H probably has no idea themselves when it is coming out.

Believe me, there is a 99% chance we don't see it tomorrow, but Jan 10th was the first day several online retailers had it listed (and a couple still do). I'm just saying of all days to keep a watch out, Jan 10th is it. Followed by the 16th. Then probably the 23rd. Then.........

Google and Asus sure don't give a damn about our money....
[Nexus 7 Accessories] bd177:
I pre-ordered one from anorama.com . $39.99 with free shipping. ($3.50 tax if you live in NY State). They don't charge your card until it ships.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] vimmer77:
So it's finally coming out?

Better check this thread daily...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MMeester:
I just got mine. :good:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Steve3581:
Try the ASUS webshop, they might still have stock

I just checked the tracking on my order and I will receive my dock tomorrow! :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ynrozturk:
I've waited so long for this thing that I don't even want it anymore.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Steve3581:
and.....?

What is your first impression!? Maybe a few photos? :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MMeester:
The dock is heavier, more solid than I expected

It holds the tablet in landscape mode and connects via the pogo pins.

The tablet fits in perfectly without applying any pressure.

I didn't try the audio out yet.

Looks pretty sleek on my desk (which otherwise is in creative chaos, so no pictures atm...)

[Nexus 7 Accessories] zAm1987:
My dock arrived today, too.

As MMeester said, the dock has a nice weight and is quite solid.

The Nexus 7 fits just perfect and can be docked in way easier than the Galaxy Nexus in its pogo pin dock. Im very happy with it :)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] durajim:
That's awesome, glad Asus have gone for an honest price, £24.99 is a good price.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] daddyh:
I'll get my dock in the next few days.

Bought it with my early-adopter-discount in germany for only 6€ :)

Sounds fair, doesn't it?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] warface:
Does it have speakers built in? I've seen a couple of sites that seem to imply that it does.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Steve3581:
I received my dock this morning, it is a nice weight and very easy to just slot the nexus 7 into it. very pleased with it!

As for a built in speaker sadly not, it just has an audio jack on the rear to allow you to connect a speaker etc...
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Aleemz:
No, it has a 3.5 jack to connect active speakers to it.

Hey fellas, haven't really been following the thread, but i'm wondering if the micro USB on the dock support MHL for streaming or is it purely just for charging?

It's purely just for charging.

I agree. What a missed opportunity!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
The NEXUS 7 does not support MHL, no chip.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] teeth_03:
I'm assuming that means you can't use OTG with the docks USB either?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] MMeester:
The tablet itself connects to the dock via the pogo pins. If you really need USB on the go you could still use the mini USB port.

Gesendet von meinem Nexus 7 mit Tapatalk 2
[Nexus 7 Accessories] vorcers:
not really. If you connect a usb-otg cable (even without usb-device) the nexus 7 stops charging. But it shows, that it charges. :eek:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] StephanV:
Looking good, this dock. Not sure about the price though. It's not that expensive, but compared to the Nexus 7, it's too much to be considered a no brainer.

It still baffles me there are literally zero no-name (read: Chinese) N7 pogo docks around. It's probably the most hyped Android product of 2012, and these docks are really inexpensive to make. Maybe now, with Asus releasing one, they'll soon follow suit..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] desire1234:
I have a question concerning the audio output function of the Nexus 7 dock, maybe someone who already has one can answer it: Is it possible to use the audio output without having a charger connected to the dock?

Thanks!
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Flowyk:
no its not ... if you disconnect charger (at least +5V line) you cant use pogo for audio out ... but even with charger you can use jack/bt/microusb so your question is irrelevant

Had to update to 4.2 to get it to work

Audio out is odd on the box it says speaker but its a speaker out

[Nexus 7 Accessories] RED_:
Has this been officially released yet? Looking really good and hearing more and more about the release. Probably take longer for us in the UK too I guess. Compared to the USA anyway.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Tom Fagerland:
Depends on what you mean by officially. They're not going to hold a ribbon cutting seremony ;)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
It's currently leaking its way out across Europe and Japan. US launch is within 2 weeks, UK should be soon as well.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] RED_:
Ah good. I just assumed that it would eventually show up on google.com/nexus7 and then we could say it was officially available. I guess since it's an accessory its ASUS's prerogative.

I had a look at it and they state "The delivery time for this product is 14 days after the receipt of payment".

Think I will wait until physical stock hits the retailers.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] redmongoose:
Their delivery time is normally quicker than this - stock rumoured to hit other retailer shops at the end of Jan. So at worst it should be the same....but £6.00 for delivery.....steep.....

They're dispatched from Germany, that's why - Normally gets here in about 7 working days, though - Happy to wait, I've waited this long :p

Glad people are starting to receive it. Haven't yet had my order acknowledged by ExcaliberPC.

Has anyone yet confirmed exactly what the audio out is? Is it a combined analog pre-out and optical digital out, like some other similar-looking docks (e.g. the Nexus Galaxy), or something else?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] dp917:
Really? Placed my order yesterday and had a tracking number within a few hours.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
They *may* be out. When I ordered it said they had 20 in stock. Doesn't seem like much to me. You can check order status on their website if you are unsure.

Mine should arrive Friday. My long nightmare will soon be over. (joke) :laugh:
[Nexus 7 Accessories] styckx:
$40 for this thing? GTFO.. No thanks..
[Nexus 7 Accessories] marcrandom:
I completed the order via Amazon Payments without creating an account in ExcaliberPC's system; Amazon has acknowledged payment but I haven't gotten seller confirmation. Could mean anything or nothing.

Let me know how that works out for you when your micro-USB goes to **** and you can't charge your tablet.

Are people really willing to pay over 10 bucks shipping for a $40 item? And then by FedEx ground aka DHL or 13 for priority mail?

I think I'll pace myself and wait for a discount or a place that isn't trying to make another 5 bucks on shipping (that's an extra 12.5% profit)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] redmonke255:
Are people dumb enough to break their micro usb port?
[Nexus 7 Accessories] vorcers:
Well, the micro-usb ports are looking in common very fragile to me... My mother has a galaxy nexus and needs to charge it every day. She got a dock with pogo-pins and now she can charge the nexus without to put much stress on the port. She can use the smartphone for years thanks to changeable battery . (OT: thank you apple with your "battery isn't replaceable philosophy"....

In that manner I don't like the non-changeable battery of the nexus 7.)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] aiiee:
Who said they were? You are not a native English speaker are you?

---------- Post added at 10:11 PM ---------- Previous post was at 10:07 PM ----------

Yep, I've had 2 GNex usb ports go to **** on me. I have heard others have problems. Is it them or the quality of the usb port? Who knows who cares. All I know is there are companies that put weak, fragile micro-usb ports in their devices and when it comes time to get a pogo dock to replace the charging via micro-usb, the docks are gone!

EDIT: Kindle Fires also have the problem.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] styckx:
So I should spend $40 for a piece of plastic so I can charge it differently to prevent something happening to it that has no track record of actually taking place on a consistent basis with this tablet? You're implying it's some wide spread time bomb just waiting to happen. People breaking MicroUsb ports is as common on any device that has them and isn't any more prone to happening on one device over another.

You can Google "Android Broken MicroUSB" and find a buffet of devices from a span of years it has happened to.. Now.. I'm going to step out on a limb made of military grade armor plate and say 95% of these broken ports are the fault of the user. I've had a Samsung Moment, Samsung Epic 4G, and have a Nexus S, Galaxy Tab 10.1, and now a Nexus 7. Five devices, never a MicroUSB port break. (Ok, the Galaxy Tab doesn't have a MicroUSB but same point)
[Nexus 7 Accessories] Nospin:
Or you can buy it to put it on your desk with a pair of speakers and turn it into a mini cloud based stereo system. Or as a replacement alarm clock.

A dock is a dock is a dock. Some people like them, some don't.

Never had a USB port of any kind break/fail on me, ever, and I've owned plenty of devices across various manufacturers, some of which are the same devices that people claim have junk micro USB ports.

[Nexus 7 Accessories] throwbot:
Man, I am dying for some type of pogo dock to come out. My stereo in my cobalt is trashed, and if I can figure out a way to hook a 3.5 mm audio port straight to my speakers then I want to permanently install one in my dash where my stereo used to be. My friend just paid 800 bucks for a unit that has navigation and video and stuff. Hell, tethering off of my g. nex, the 7 would do anything that thing could do, plus play angry birds, and with a way nicer screen. Then when you get out of your car you can just pop it out.

Saw someone do something like this, but using Bluetooth for audio and with no pogo goodness. There'd be a couple of hurdles to cross, and there probably won't be a dock that holds it in very well but IF AND WHEN THEY COME OUT (please not another device with wasted pogos) I definitely would love to try and make it work.
[Nexus 7 Accessories] ydoucare:
Yeah it's disappointing that it still hasn't been released. I really want one of these so I can fabricate a nice dock for my car.
