Where is the dock/charger connector on the tablet? when you connect it to the dock will the tablet be in Landscape or Vertical mode?

It is on the botom, right by the samsung logo. The tablet will be in Landscape mode when you connect it to the dock

If you put the power button on the top (landscape), the power dock is on the bottom almost center, but a tad towards the left. This is how I prefer to use the tablet. The kit also comes with a power plug, which I use most the time. This way I can plug it in and use in bed. What I love about this bundle is the flexibility of the keyboard. Makes it esier when I type things such as this comment. But when I am shopping or on Pinterest, I just use the tablet without the keyboard. Keyboards can cost between $99 to $200. I am a keyboard snob, so I am surprised i liked this one, but I do. It's thin & love the hot keys. I luv my tablet. I got it because my samsung Galaxy S III was too small. This was before the 4s were out. At the time, I thought I'd wait to upgrade to the Note II, but got this 10 tab. Glad I did. I like touch screens, but as a writer, I move much faster on a keyboard. I do have a 10-inch laptop, but this is perfect for on-the-go or flexible in-the-home use.

It is the receiver slot under the name samsung on the tablet; the same slot you connect the power cord to. The power cord also connects to the front of the dock under the name samsung. I dock my tablet and charge it at the same time.

I've had my unit for 4 months - it's never been knocked over and I haven't noticed any damage to the port. The slot into which the tablet fits is quite tight and this accounts for most of the "holding properties" of the dock - in other words, the tablet doesn't simply stay upright in the dock because of the charging port connection.

It has a usb dock that you can connect a charger to if you have it. it is not included.

When the tablet is docked you plug the charger into the dock and it charges both the keyboard and the dock. When undocked you can charge either the tablet or keyboard separately. Hope this helps. Don

Yes, there is a mini USB port on the right side of the tablet, when in landscape mode. We have this tablet sitting quite comfortably in a 7" tablet case with a USB keyboard connected to it.

Docking port ... lower right corner back side... conveniently located yet very stealth

Yeah. All of the ports are accessible. I just found I had to pull the case away from the tablet a bit to charge it.

Just in landscape, portrait its standing on the edge of the bottom of the nook and it would sit on the charger head if you plugged it in.

There is no access hole in the cover for charger slot.We need to keep the cover open while charging the tablet.Otherwise we can detach the keyboard while charging.Then we will get sufficient room for charging the tablet in cover close position.Keyboard is attached by 4 magnets in 4 corners.So we can detach and attach the keyboard from cover very easy.

It's suppose to. I only bought it for the cord. I've never actually set it up. I have a cover on my Nexus 7 and I'd have to remove it every time I want to charge it so I just plug the cord into the tablet. Sorry, I don't have any positive feedback about the dock. Have a good day.

No, the cord is on the bottom...an inconvenient place even to use when plugged in. I tried using the tablet as a stand with the plug on the edge and still would not stay up in the stand.

The cradle will hold the tablet in portrait mode, but it will NOT charge in that position. The charging contacts are on the lower left edge, below the power and volume controls. The charging contacts on the cradle are only on the lower left of the frame.

Yes. When the Tablet is connected to the Dock the Tablet is charged by the Dock and the Dock is charged by the Power cord. I often recharge the Dock and Tablet with it close. The charging port is on the side that is exposed. I did not connect the strap on that one side because it sort of blocked the port enough to bother me but that will not affect its security in the case.

I had the same problem before I realized the charging port was damaged. The port gets shoved back into the unit and no longer takes connects to the charger. I can't say this is what is wrong with yours for sure. The unit I had was a piece of junk. We rarely used it and it was just over the 1 year warrantly when mine broke. If yours is still under warranty, I would return it and get a different tablet.

The dock doesnt charge your tablet. But u can plug in your tablet while your using the keyboard

Yes, the keyboard is the dock. That said, both the keyboard and tablet have ports where you can plug in the charger. Therefore, you can charge the tablet or keyboard separately, or attach the tablet to the keyboard and charge them together. On a side note, I would recommend passing on the keyboard. The reason I say this is that the keyboard often becomes null and you have to detach and then reattach it in order for it to work. Also, the mechanism that holds the tablet to the keyboard isn't snug, so the tablet wobbles - thus disconnecting you from whatever you are working on or watching.
