I just received this from eBay. I paid $19.99. Buy It Now was $24.99 but I was the only bidder. I'm hoping this post will help others that might be looking for a decent dock at a great price with flexibility.
This dock is nice but for Naked phones only as there is NO room for any cases sitting either in the charger vertical or laid down horizontal. It has a 1.5V power adapter and can simultaneously charge both the Note and an extra battery. You can also add the included USB cable to the back and charge right from that. It comes with the charger, USB cable and dock. Packaging does not read Hyperion but the included "instructions" do. It also features automatic end on full charge and an LED that's Blue when done and Red when charging. Data sync can be done as well with the included USB so you can sync in cradle while it charges.
I've included many pics for your viewing pleasure. Of course none with the Note actually in it but you'll get the gist. Any questions let me know.

Ebay seller was: inventoryexpressonline. I have no affiliation with said seller nor can I vouch for them. The item was shipped quickly and FREE! This is a US seller shipping out of California.

I almost bought a similar dock from Dealextreme (I like the 2 docking-positions combined with extra battery charger), but I also was looking for a cheap dock with audio-out to use beside my bed as charger / alarm clock (combined with compact speaker).
I found this dock on ebay (seller is i-mail, as is more than clear from the included picture...) for $ 24 / € 18, which combines these functions with a charger for a spare battery.
It looks as a knock-off from the official Samsung dock, only with the extra battery charger included "hidden" behind the docked Note.
The dock can be placed in portret and in landscape position and the phone slides in easily.
Limitation is that only the naked Note really fits.
It misses the extra usb-port from the Hyperion dual dock, which would have been very useful in my situation for keeping the connected speaker powered (now I have to charge its included battery every 2 days).
Another impractical point I just experienced is its size. I wanted to take it with me for the weekend as I expected intensive use of my Note and would need to recharge it and a spare battery. The above described Hyperion dual dock is flat, so easy to pack, whereas this dock is as high as it is wide.
I got the same deal as the OP. I am very happy with the quality and the price. Thanks for posting all the pics. Nice job!

No problem! It's my pleasure. Just hoping others can get a better sense of what they may get if they decide to pull the trigger.

Ok so one concern with this dock. Although it shows AC charging on my battery widget, it never goes into deep sleep after charging. I've even tried the old turn on and unlock prior to removing the phone. Only way it deep sleeps is to reboot after removal.

It probably won't. I had their EVO 4G version with the slot to charge the extra battery and that didn't either.
if you have a case on your phone do you have to take the case off to make it fit when charging?
Seems like it, may work with the stick on decal skin though. Why can't they make an removeable insert like the iGrip car dock is beyond me....
I would like to know if it will activate dock mode on the phone.

Thanks for the info! I actually think I like that one better than the one I ordered off of ebay a few days ago. I may get this one too and then have one for work and one for home, but I use the Defender at work so that would be an issue...I dont know, just thinking out loud...
I had my eye on that one for about a month and kept searching for a US seller to buy it from as it would be easier to return if anything was wrong with it. I finally found one last week at Amazon that looks like the same one, but rebranded: "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle / Desktop Docking Station for HTC EVO 3D".
Search Amazon for ASIN: B005DIJOZQ and you'll find it.
The one I ordered arrived today and I am now testing it. So far, so good. It does a good job of charging the phone and holds the device at a good angle for watching shows, etc. I watched two episodes of 'Game of Thrones' on HBOGo using this cradle tonight.
I like the spare battery slot because it holds the battery upright instead of horizontally and uses less desk space. I'm still charging a battery in the slot now, so I can't tell you how well the spare battery slot works yet, outside of noting it is a bit of a snug fit, even for the OEM battery that came with my Evo, but it does seem to fit.
There are two LED lights on the front. So far, the left light remains blue and the right light remains green. I haven't seen them change as I've charged batteries or removed phone or battery from the phone, so I'm not sure they do anything significant at all.
I'll report back when I've had enough time to charge the spare battery in the slot now. I am very interested to hear reports from anyone who buys the Kidigi branded cradle too. I need a second cradle so I have one for the home and another for work, and I'm waiting to buy the second until I've had some time to test this one.
Oh yeah, I can confirm that the RND branded cradle I ordered from Amazon only fits the phone in the original case or at least cases that add no extra dimension to the Evo 3D. Also, the spare battery slot would not fit an extended battery that is larger in dimension than the original battery.

The RND model I bought does not activate dock mode automatically. If it truly is the Kidigi model with rebranding, then I expect the Kidigi model doesn't either.
It looks nice...not a bad price either...

My eBay dock came in today and I love it! Big thing for me is charging an extra battery, which the eBay dock does. Also, my phone fits in the dock with either the HTC silicone case or the Otterbox Impact, but the charging nipple doesn't go in deep enough to trigger charging. I'm sure that could be modified to work quite easily though if anyone cared to, I don't....

After testing the RND dock I posted about yesterday, I have found that the spare battery slot doesn't work very well. You have to fiddle with a battery to get it to make a good contact and it's pretty unreliable for charging the spare.
The dock section for the phone works well, but if you are like me and want a dock that simultaneously charges a spare battery, pass on the RND model.
If someone has a better experience with the Kidigi model, I'd be interested in hearing about it. I still think it likely these are the same cradle branded differently, but I could very well be wrong. The pictures just look too close for comfort for me.
supposedly, the Seidio model, which does NOT have a spare battery compartment, does activate dock mode, and since there are removable inserts, will fit phone with some cases still on them..I ordered one, and hoping for delivery today or tomorrow
copped the kidigi model finally after going back and forth
I really wanted that one as well, but, I don't want to have to take my case off constantly to dock the phone when at my desk; I hope the Seidio dock allows for my otter box to stay on while docked..
I tried to order that Kidigi dock when they first posted it, but even a month ago, they were only saying "tentative" shipping in August...Let us know how it works for you!

Do you have a link or a brand name?
http://www.ebay.com/itm/USB-Battery...818692?pt=PDA_Accessories&hash=item43aa59c504
Looking to pick one up for primarily charging/syncing but most likely will be just charging since USB charges slower than the wall but I'm not sure if this charger charges at 1A or not.
I just ordered one yesterday. I need it to charge the fat extended batteries in the back slot. I am hoping that that if it doesn't come with a 1.0ma charger, I will be able to use one that I already have and get a decent charge time.
ive bought many ebay docks for many phones from many chineese dealers. these days i only buy from nakedcellphone
Only see one pic in the link when viewing on my phone, maybe there's only 1 pic, not sure. Anyway, from what I can tell, it looks just like the one I have. Mine works great for charging my phone and my HTC and Anker batteries. Phone docks nicely naked, and actually also works with some silicone an tpu cases. Seidio Surface w/kickstand case works, and even my Otterbox Commuter which really surprised me!! The charging tip just barely goes in deep enough to initiate charging with the Commuter. That's the only issue when trying to dock with thicker cases: The phone/case fits in the dock, but the charging tip isn't long enough to initiate charging. I assume that if it was much longer though it would cause the phone to not sit flat because the charging tip wouldn't bottom out in the phone (hope I'm making since here where you can understand me, lol, trying to explain it where it makes since).
Anyway, bottom line is the dock works great and well worth the money. I bought a generic dock for my Evo 4G and it never gave me a single issue. To my knowledge its still working great for the guy who bought my Evo 4G an all accessories... I'm gonna buy a generic Ebay dock for whichever phone I purchase next too. I have yet to see the need to spend more money on a dock with a name printed on it. Most of those don't have a spot in the back to charge an extra battery either, which is an absolute must for me! I probably use the battery charger more than the dock itself. Go for it, you won't be disappointed!!

the desktop/full site will show more pictures if you scroll down. can you confirm if it's the same item you have and at what mA it charges at?
Site: Amazon Link
Sleek Design
Support phone while sitting at an angle
Charges spare OEM battery while docked or otherwise
LEDs to show charging status
Will not fit with a case on the phone. Best buy - buy a quickly removable case (such as TPU Cases)
I don't have stock rom so I can't verify this triggers the phone for Dock Mode. Somebody will have to verify!
Once the spare battery is charged I flip it over to just hold the battery until I'm ready to use it.
PS: Does not throw my phone into a boot loop!!!
Love the purchase.
I waa looking at buy this charger too. I was wondering if it has any options for size adjustment as i hate to remove the TPU case.
I was plannning on getting one for the office and one for the bedroom.

Not familiar with those batteries but most aftermarket batteries fir this phone cause it to boot loop when plugged in via usb or docked. Best bet is just to buy another oem battery. Can be found for $25 on amazon.

Thanks. I went ahead and just got the dock. See how that goes before dropping the cash on extra batteries.
First let me make it clear...
This is strictly a recomendation for fellow Note owners.
I do not have anything to do with sales or anything near..
Wanted to share good stuff for as I really truly find these to be awesome.!
I just received (2) of these from AMAZON. Only $15 bux a pop. Ya Cant Beat It!
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B006L9K16W/ref=oh_o00_s00_i00_details
Dual USB / AC Plug Desktoop Charger.
Charges via AC while SYNCS USB (leave single or both jacks plugged in)
Bothwork together. Comes w/AC Adapter. Cradle has built in USB cable (so cant lose it!)
Very tiny footprint. Fairly Sturdy. Phone does not tip over.
I actually place one in the ashtray dashboard of my car (wired USB)
Easy feel ... for locking phone on and off of cradle (thats important!!! )
They are the most ALTERNATIVE affordable pricing compared to the OEM desktop chargers which in my opinion are not that good and are about $50 bux or so.
Support Car / Home docking software when phone docked.
Only Con is...BRIGHHHHHTTT blue LED light. Extremely bright.
Had to place a piece of black tape over LED
Thought I would share the 411.
Its hard to find a good alternative these days.....
Thanks for sharing this, just ordered two alongside the OEM Sammy car mount.
Thanks for sharing! Just ordered mine.
How quick does it charge?
Thanks for the tip. Just ordered one that I want to use to make a custom dock that I can fit in my cup holder in my car, as this phone is too big for my cup holders and that's where I like to keep my phone when driving. Was looking for a good/cheap dock, so thanks again for reporting back on the quality of this one. Definitely a nice price. Free shipping with amazon prime too.
how snug fit it is on the back? is there any room for the case? Will it fit if I have a thin case on?
I see that they also have the one with spare battery charger for $2 more. Interesting.
Hmmm you could probably MHL output while also USB host moding a keyboard/ mouse with this. Gonna buy one to give it a shot
Does it fit when i have a TPU case?
Actually the Samsung OEM dock is great. It's $40 at the ATT store. But I paid $20 with my premiere account.
I bought another on ebay as a back up, but haven't received it yet from here:
http://www.ebay.com/itm/220923137856?ssPageName=STRK:MEWNX:IT&_trksid=p3984.m1439.l2649#ht_3363wt_1270
This does not actually come with the charger does it? \ Igt says can be used with charger that came with note.
Im confused. \/
so sorry for the delayed response! yes this desktop charger comes with one ac adapter in addition to a usb cable that is a cable built into the charger itself.
it allows you to keep the phone plugged into to both pc & ac wall at the same time with out the need to switch cables
it has a overload protection so no fear of charging burnouts.
it is definetely a snug tight fit onto the cradle itself. never worries about falling over or lose connections. i can say it works super super tight . real happy w/purchase.

1) Genuine HTC CC C500 charger (does AC-speed charging at 9V from a cigarette lighter). Like-new, used once, works perfect. $10
Actual HTC OEM, will ACTIVELY charge the tablet even when on full brightness (unlike most others) because it outputs the same 9V as the AC charger. If you're going to leave your tab on (for GPS, e.g.) then you will need this to last more than a few hours. I had my tablet on for an entire iron-butt (1000 miles in 24 hours) and it was still 100% charge at the end of the ride. If it weren't a HTC-specific thing, I would be keeping this.
2) RAM X-Grip Universal Mount (holds the tablet well, like new, used a few times on my motorcycle). $20
This grips very well, I never had it fall out even with the worst bumps. You have to position the grip nubs of the X-Grip between the buttons on the Flyer, but once there, it'll stay fine. I had to use a RAM universal TAB mount for my new Galaxy Tab 2, because the X-Grip would press the power button.
3) MountGuys MFX070-2 Sun Shade Anti Glare Visor for 7" Tablet and GPS Screens (new, never used). $15
I had it on the bike, works fine, but decided to get an anti-glare film instead. No complaints.
4) On unused Photodon MAXI antiglare screen. $10
I'm VERY pleased both with the matte screen and the writing feel. Much nicer than an Invisishield before. This is UNUSED one of two I bought.
Buy all four and I'll ship (US) free
