Desktop Cradle with ability to charge spare Anker/Chichitech - HTC Sensation

I'm looking for a cradle with an extra battery charging slot that can hold the Anker or Chichitech extended batteries. The cradle I got off the Mugen site has a slot that is only thick enough for the standard battery. The Chichitech and Anker batteries are the slightest bit thicker, and won't slide into the battery charging slot. My HD2 cradle allowed the spare batter to lay flat behind the phone, so I'd imagine that style would fit the extended batteries.
With my current cradle, I can't charge the Chichitech/Anker batteries outside of the phone unless I use the travel charger.

Bumperoo...anybody know of a cradle that can support an Anker or Chichitech battery?
Gracias.

I know that the Kidigi docks do NOT charge the Anker/Chichi batteries . The slot
for the extra battery is barely big enough for the stock battery . Since the Anker
and Chichi batteries are thicker its a no go .

Yeah, I have a cradle currently that taught me that lesson the hard way. It isn't labled "Kidigi," but it looks the same, and I'm betting it came from the same factory.
My problem with kpjimmy's referral is that I tend to avoid buying products from web sites that I've not heard of before. I'll probably try to find kpjimmy's pictured dock on Amazon or eBay (as if that were more reputable) and buy it from there.

Edit: Just got a discount code HTCP11 10% off

Sorry to bomb your thread, but I just purchased a cradle. However, with my case on the phone the plug isn't long enough to go past my case into my phone. is there some sort of mod or something I can purchase to make it longer?
Edit: nevermind I think i'll start my own thread, found a major problem with my new cradle =\

My Home Cradle/Charger

I recently saw this and made sense to me to get the sucker. I have my N1 in front, my iTouch in the back and my wife's SE can be charged on the last remaining slot.
This unit is really small, pretty well belt and comes in black/silver/pink. And they have the 3 or 2 charging slots and come with either a 6 tip package or you can pick and choose 4 tips, according to what you want to charge.
Here's the unit, I got the silver 3 slot version. It has a on/off switch on the back as well in case you want to just turn off the unit when not in use.

The seller, idaptweb.com. Its a great site, but communication is lacking. I received this unit in about a week. Ships from Spain I think.
There's no possible way that can be good for the micro usb port of your nexus. Or any device for that matter. Get your rma ready!
What privacy screen do you have on that iphone in your pic?

That's what I initially thought as well. But to me its pretty sturdy. I have the OEM cradle at work as my backup anyways. But I will continue to monitor it just in case.

It's an iTouch actually. The privacy screen is from proporta.com. They do have iphone privacy screen protectors as well. Its a very well made product IMO.
UPDATE:
I continue to use this "universal" charger at home and have the OEM one at work. I have NOT had any issues with the bottom of the headset. The unit is well made and so is the N1.
Here is another "universal" charger as well. About 100 bux USD on this site but looks pretty contemporary as well. I have not used this one, but from the looks of it, the base is a cushion type base, that gives a bit to hold the devices.

the first charger dock stand thing is almost the ugliest thing i have ever seen posted on the forum, and the pic of the glass one with the PSP on it looks stupid as well..
these types of stands will wear out the micro usb port over time
my .02
Damn, a little malicious, no? LOL
For the asthetics, its ok in my book. Each his/her/it own. You can rub your
.02 up your collective tight twat and ask for change at your local KMart.
As for the wearing down of the port, it may but by the time that happens, I may be on to my next handset. Just my .02

If not for the apple accessories, I would have told you to wait until Energizer released one of those pad-charge-capable batteries for the N1.
Also, if you use the pins instead of the microUSB connector a la desktop/car dock, the phone charges RIDICULOUSLY faster. I've had data, GPS, music, etc. with my phone docked and it still went up 20% in charge during a less than 10 minute trip. I wish I could make something like that up. (It was uncomfortably warm, but definitely usable)

Galaxy S4 Power Case (Protective & battery case)

I recently bought the "Power Case" for Galaxy S4
The product is made in China but "seems" to comply with FCC or CE requirements
This version of "Power Case" has a simple cover on it but doesn't turn On/Off the Galaxy S4 screen like the official Samsung Cover Flip does.
The protective case looks robust and you have to stretch it ton insert your mobile inside.
It also has a stand in the back.
The male micro USB position is not perfectly adjusted to the GS4 female micro USB which position is little lower.
Once retracted the case fits pretty well the GS4
The battery is 3200 mAh which is 123% the capacity of the GS4 stock battery.
Few leds indicate the remaining charge.
On/Off Power button is set on the front
No USB cable included
the price is around 30 USD or cheaper
Would rate this 7 out 10

Hi
any usage feedback ?
all the time i got a Power case for my Galaxy phones
did not get more than 50% battery usage
hope they improved
Thanks
Can u put a pic with the phone on it. Thanks.
Sent from my SGH-M919 using xda app-developers app
3200 mAh of external battery means about 2000 mAh of actual capacity since these batteries loose at least 30% due to efficiency conversion through usb port. Plus 500mA of output charge will mean a very slow charging equivalent to you charging a phone from laptop usb port. For the reference, it will charge 4-5 slower than your oem 2A wall charger.
Just keep that in mind
Iam looking at a similar product
hey i think i saw this product without the flip though
looking to buy this myself
could we get more pics with the fone please ?
My local mall sells this exact case comes in same package and everything for $65 and near by fleamarket sells them for $45 feels very cheaply made but it does do its job which is charge the phone, bro picked one up for his s3 and it charges the phone from dead to about 60% before case dies
I bought the case and now I am looking for a protective case that will fit it. Any suggestions?

If you have wireless charging, I can highly recommend the Nokia DT-910.
Furthermore, ATT.com is closing 'em out:
http://www.att.com/shop/wireless/ac...arging-stand-sku6290330.html#fbid=X3oNkaehCXw
Only $10 online if you can find a local retailer that has 'em in stock. I got mine about a week ago and love it. There's even an NFC tag in the base, though it's kinda hard to get it to trigger with many of the third party wireless charging cards.
Charger Stand
I wouldnt get a stand with charger in base, i already had bought one, and the floppy cover for usb doesnt extend all the way out. So basically u would have pop the port cover off everytime, or leave it off, buttttt run the risk of water gettin inside. Wireless charging is the way to go.

Yeah, I would like a stand but this is what I worry about. I see some stands have little extra space for the usb cover but that would require turning the floppy cover 180 degrees while I can safely turn it only 90 degrees. Sure, I can bend it more but I'm afraid (as I often use it in/near water and paid small fortune for the phone ).
Maybe I could buy something like this www.dx.com/p/2-in-1-charging-station-stand-w-battery-charger-for-samsung-galaxy-s5-black-317337 and "dremel" a hole next to usb port to keep the cover 90 degree.
EDIT: I guess I will end up with something like that http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Univ...for-iPhone-Samsung-Smartphone/1854869990.html as I already have similar stand for tablet.
i agree with the cover, it needs to point down, not 180 degrees. if down cases would also work when there is no chance to do 180 with the flap in a case.
Stand mentioned in my previous post. I think I'm getting another one to work.

The back says 4200mAh: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/4800-mAh-...lePhonesCasesPouches&var=&hash=item3cec204d9d
So probably will be far from even 4000mAh:

Not bad when you need it in pinch. I've used these cases before.
Never understood why the people who make these batteries do not like protecting the front face of the phone. Only one that does it is molphie
I got it today, it says 4800mAh on the back...
Mine came without any retail box...
I will test it now.
That pretty much alters the protective mechanism of the device against drops. Not only does it not protect the device, I would say its a pro-damage case too. It seems to increase the likelihood that you will damage it.

I am really interested to see how it tests out for you. I saw some on Amazon and was thinking of purchasing one. I use my Note 4 from 7am to 11pm, almost none stop. The battery does last me all day sometimes but having that extra juice would be nice. Can't wait to hear how it goes.
Any update on the power case?
Sorry for the delay.
The battery charger charges from 0 to full charge in about 3-4Hours...
It charges slowly, but it works.

Nice. I was looking at this case for while. I wanted a extended battery case that wasn't so big and this fits the bill.
Why turn your N4 into a heavy brick when you can just carry a spare battery?

Same question can be asked, why carry around two items in my pocket? Rather carry one. Mostly for laziness, just hit the switch and phone is charging. Besides, this isn't that bad compared to the ZeroLemon case., now that is huge.
I don't understand this attraction of humongous batteries. We live in the modern age, where industrial design and manufacturing elegance has come a long way. To take these very elegant and slim phones and duct tape gynormous batteries to the back seems counter intuitive to me.
How hard is it to charge your phone every day? I am sure keeping a car charger for the charge on the way back home isn't a huge inconvenience. Or keeping a qi pad at your desk at work and just tossing your phone on it when you get to work.
All you big battery guys are going to look like this

[Q] What you own and what you want.

I'm curious..
Simply, what accessories do you currently own, and which specific accessories do you desire?
I personally only own an aluminum placement battery cover.
I would like an extended battery case for that extra juice on my weekly snowboarding trips!
Zerolemon 10000mah

How bulky is the zerlomeon case, and how long does it take to charge to 100% from dead?
Honestly it's not as bulky as I anticipated. The video tutorials call it a brick but u feel their is a slight chunk added to the original weight of the phone. Now if you compare that with the benefit you are getting I believe it's a small price to pay for. I have done a single charge till now of around 10+ hours which I was supposed to do it till 12. But the current status of my phone battery right now is that I have used it for 24 hours and it has just dropped till 64%. It's going pretty smooth I believe. Give it a shot.
It's pretty damn big and heavy, but I can use it fine on a daily basis. I recently took it off and put back the regular battery and back. Wow, it's so light and thin.
The battery thickness is actually about as thick as the phone if not a little thicker. So you'd be walking around with 2 Notes in your pocket size-wise.
The battery is hard to gauge though. I'd suggest getting GSAM or something that can monitor your battery voltage. It screws with the phone. I think my fast charger once said it was done but i checked the voltage and it wasn't done yet, so I plugged it back in another charger just to be safe.
I once compared my Z3C and Note 4 with the zerolemon in GSAM and they had the same voltage but I think the Z3C said 73% and the Note said 50 something. I don't remember, but I do remember I felt something was wrong with what I saw
I almost forgot about the buttons. They are so sensitive. I've accidentally locked the phone when viewing landscape so many times.
Edit to add picture if I can figure out how.
Note 4 inside the case, you can see the tabs to push the volume buttons actually sit higher than the phone.

What am I supposed to do from here?
Take a look at the Zero lemon thread here before you decide to purchase. Some issues reported with it not accurately showing the correct battery level, etc. Be sure to check out the Hyperion battery thread too and compare.
