eeekkk. that's asking for a road kill LMFAO!
I used my Hero on the bike.
Great when going for long cycle rides to track the distance/elevation...etc.
Never even worried me as the holders are very good.
Trying to buy a carkit now, well at $0 I thought "why not!" .....
Just trying to pay but Paypal is in Japanese or Chinese.
It would be fun on a bike but I think I'd be scared. Maybe in a few months I'll be less precious about it.
Change Paypal language to English in top right.
Just bought the Cradle with 2nd Battery Charger + Stylus + Anti-Static and UV Treatment.
Stylus? And how's the anti static and UV thing work?
Will try post pics and write a review when it turns up.

Nope, but I'm not that bothered about a stylus. Should be interesting to see how sturdy it is. Don't like the look of how close the track ball is to the base, for $26 it's worth finding out though.
I know this has probably been answered elsewhere, but the dock connections on the bottom of the Nexus, are we to assume they do charging and data connection without having to have a plug go into the micro USB port?

yeah. im guessing your guess is as good as mine. but for some strange i believe that the dock that you ordered will be charging using a USB connection. but like i said ill keep my eye on this thread to see how you make out.
It appears they do that unfathomable thing of shipping free worldwide like some Chinese companies seem to be able to do. Mine's being shipped to the UK.

Ive had the official one since the day it was available. Although i do like it, it isnt perfect. The phone doesnt sit as well as i would hope so. Its fallen over many times for me, enough to warrant a case purchase....which doesnt fit in the dock. In the end, it wasnt worth the extra coin i paid for it. So i say spend your 25$ on the one you see and dont look back
I'm getting a similar dock..... 4phoneaccessories.com/product_info.php?language=en¤cy=USD&products_id=3555 - supposed to be getting it hopefully next week, so I'll let you know how it is.
Also, xda wouldn't let me post the full URL, so I had to remove the http and www
You can use adb with it, you can't do that with the official one.

which one the first link or the third?
I'd really prefer the microUSB connection to enable easy data transfer and adb, so I may have to try this one. Most docks with microUSB use the connection as the only vertical support but this one has a molded plastic guard to reduce the strain on the port. Worth trying for $25, imo.

It works perfectly and even the phone sits firmly in the dock, much better than in the official dock. The only reason to get the official dock is if you want the clock app to activate automatically or hook it up to a stereo or something. Otherwise, get one of these 3rd party apps to charge your spare battery and phone and manually activate the clock app before you go to bed.

Hey Jak - can the Nexus fit in the cradle with a rubber/silicone case? How is the back support? I'm thinking about getting one of these but in looking at it, I'm concerned that there is not enough support to take off the strain from the USB port. Like it would cause the charging port to become loosened over time. Please let me know.

I'm thinking about getting this one also due to it appears to give more back support which may take the strain from the usb charging port. Did you ever get this and if so, how do you like it?

I've got this cradle and that's exactly what I do. I take off the lower part of my Seidio Innocase II Surface case before sliding it in the dock and then open the clock app myself. Been using it for about 3 weeks now without a hitch. I had originally ordered the official N1 dock and decided I didn't like the way the phone sat in it within 15 mins of opening the box and returned it to HTC. With the microUSB plug in the bottom, the phone never falls out and holds it in position for clicking on the screen when in the dock. The only down side to the dock is it has an extremely bright blue led on it that acts as a night light in my room. I've since started taking the bottom part of my case and laying it over that light. Overall, I'd say the 3rd party dock is way better then Google's.
P.S. - One other nice thing about the dock is you can charge your phone via USB or the power cord that comes with it. USB will not charge the extra battery and a phone though, so if you want to do that combo, you have to plug it into the wall.

I haven't tried it with a rubber case, but it doesn't fit with a hard case. It supports the phone around the base and slight in the back. It feels very stable.
Oh, the battery charger has 4 pins, so I think it's an intelligent charger.
I bought this one
http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.34205
And it's Fu**ing great. In my night stand look beautiful and if you want, it can connect to your PC also.
I recommend this one for sure, and is the cheapest. Quality is good, really nice feel - does not feel cheap.
I bought from 4u KIDI extra battery witch was broken. Now I ordered two extra ones with charger on ebay for 20$, So I didn't check if extra battery charger works on my stand.
Great...thanks everyone!

Just arrived. So far it's exactly what I wanted. The plastic support is perfectly molded to the Nexus, so the phone snaps solidly into place. There's a bright blue LED on the front, so that may be bothersome if you're using it as a nightstand but it could be covered up easily. Charging and sync work as expected. Definitely worth the price.
I agree. Mine came in yesterday and I'm really glad I ordered it. Definitely meets my expectation and has the support to reduce the strain on port - which was my initial concern. Highly recommend. I got mine from here:

I was looking for a simple dock that could let me set my phone on my bedside table to act as an alarm and charge, and I came across this guy that might do the trick...
-- I can't post links, apparently, but a google search for "ezestand" will bring it up --
Have any of you tried it? It looks like it could be great, but I also have a feeling that the usb port on the phone will be blocked by the support portion of the stand. In the websites FAQ, they mention that another phone (the HTC droid incredible) could not be supported without shifting it off to the side, due to the location of the usb port. I have no experience with that phone, but I get the impression that the mytouch 4g would have the same issue. Does anybody here have experience with the incredible, and could you compare its usb port location to that of the mytouch?

I do agree with you there. It is pricey.
The ezestand is universal so it should fit a wide variety of phones. For roughly $13 I would say give it a try and report back here with a review and your thoughts.
I have a really strong feeling that it won't work, but that is not going to stop us from getting the info. There is a member of the t-mobile forums who bit the bullet and bought one. Their "shipping department" (probably the same one person that runs every other department) is closed until January second, so they are not going to get the dock for a while. If I find anything out from that member, I will post it here too.
Great. Will keep a look out for it.
You could place the phone in the dock with the USB port facing up (buttons to the left).

I had not noticed that. The clock app does indeed seem to rotate when you put it into its simpler modes (that only show the time), but it does not rotate in the normal position. That is not really a big deal, though, so this is definitely a possible solution. Thanks!
I used my X2 as a night clock, and I dropped the $20 on a dock and loved it. Now that I have the HD, I would like another dock.
The Moto flip stand deal is $40 with cable, and that sounds awful.
Do you guys have generic docks? What do you use?
This is what I'm looking into. As long as I can charge Landscape, I don't really care.
Thanks in advance
I'm also looking for a nice dock. The BlueLounge one looks slick, but I don't like it that I would have to separately attach my charge cable. I don't think one exists yet for the HD so I'm just waiting. I'm sure they'll release something that has charging built in. (and it will be expensive I'm sure... )

I'm actually doing just that. Partial prototype turned out nicely, I'm printing the full version right now. Files will be on Thingiverse and GitHub as soon as I've verified the design.
Now I only need to find someone who can measure the resistances on the USB cable so it will go into dock mode automatically.

Most of the HD docks were for the OG razr, not the "razr HD".
The pins are reversed, so you'll have to dremel it, hack it, hot glue it, cyanoacrylic it, duct tape it, etc.....
Let us know how that works out!

I had a razr XT910 before and at least for the european device, the direction of the pins are the same as on the XT925. For example, a customized atrix lapdock for use with a razr does also fit for the razr hd.
My apologies if this has been covered many times before but for those using it as an alarm clock, are you worried about / have you ever dealt with burn in? I'm coming from a Samsung Galaxy Captivate (i896) with an amoled screen and after two years there was a distinct swiftkey layout that remained (most notably on black or white). Brightness spent the majority of its time at the minimum and time outs were short.
I use my phone as an alarm clock, just with the screen off. It turns the screen on again when the alarm goes off anyway.

My question was not so much about enabling the screen to stay on while docked but if anyone has had screen burn in issues with later generation AMOLED screens (since I had troubles with that on first gen Samsung Galaxy).
Been using mine as a night clock since I got it, no problems. The clock fades in and out of different parts of the screen to avoid burn in.

Be aware that the RAZR HD-dock is not for the RAZR HD, but rather for the RAZR to output HD. Confused yet? The dock for the old RAZR has the connection on the top of the phone, not the side. Might be able to mod it to work, but won't work stock.

I have that Logitech case but I don't recommend it. The brackets that hold the tablet will place constant pressure on either the volume rocker or on the power button unless they are lifted (I used a cork) and the plastic they are made out of are pretty weak.

I think this is the right size for your tablet: https://www.amazon.com/Cooper-Touch...=1&keywords=cooper+case&qid=1596044247&sr=8-4
You, sir, are amazing!!! I don't know how many times i've searched amazon for such a thing but could never find it, and I'm known as "The finder" by friends, family, and co-workers!
Problem now is that the tablet I wanted to use it with (the Fire HD 10) is in parts. Need to open her up to recover her after a failed upgrade attempt, but ONE BLOODY SCREW is really foiling my efforts to proceed. The star-head is stripped and I cannot figure out how to get it out!
Still, I just picked up a Samsung tab with volume issue for $20 yesterday. Installed volume widget and works fine. Think this case is going into the Amazon basket. It's $60 Canadian after taxes.
Thanks!

Actually, I ALWAYS check some Chinese shopping sites before buying from Amazon because A LOT of those sellers have started to sell their products on Amazon for much more than though sell those same items on the Chinese sites. First thing I came across is:
https://www.aliexpress.com/item/400...earchweb0_0,searchweb201602_,searchweb201603_
Will have a look around some more before ordering from Amazon.
