SEARCH is your friend. Several threads about this.

I'm using that one found on Ebay : Sinjimoru stand Dock Station. It fit my previous Galaxy S3 and now I'm using it with the N4

infuse 4g desktop dock
the infuse 4g desktop dock fits it perfectly to the T. the only bad thing is that it fits it so well, that you can't have any case with it when you dock the nexus 4 onto it. anyway, lemme know if you want one, i have an extra one that i have no use for. just pm if interested. from boston btw

Some Galaxy S3 docks can fit the Nexus 4 and work fine.

I found this one, it looks really nice, but they don't ship to the US

The infuse dock... Is it hard to get the N4 in and out? Do you think or would scrape up the sides of the phone?

Just got mine today. Wont work with the diztronic tpu case

I'm currently using this one
http://cgi.ebay.com.sg/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=261142893578#ht_4554wt_1139
Fits even with my nillkin case on

Looks like the same dock. Mine fits. Sits on the dock, but the prong needs to be just a bit longer as it wont charge.

Any charging docks that work with the Diztronic TPU case?

I just got this dock for around $12, it fits just fine w/the poetic bumper on it...it doesn't have the spare battery charger, but with the n4 its a moot point
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00A8W68BK/ref=oh_details_o00_s00_i00
its a knock off of the offical samsung one thats $32
http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...620327&sr=8-1&keywords=samsung+galaxy+s3+dock
also there are a couple chinese sites like aliexpress that have the same charger i bought for around the same price, but the one i got ships from New Jersey so it took less than a week to get to my house instead of the international shipping...so far ive just used it for charging, i am not sure if it does anything more, but thats exactly what I wanted it for.
here are a couple aliexpress listings for it..you may find a better price, i just searched for "samsung galaxy s3 dock"

I love my infuse 4g dock. The nexus 4 is a bit loose when its in the dock. I used a few pieces of electrical tape on the inside of the dock where the phone slides in the dock. It made it fit pretty nice a tight and u can't really see the tape. The dock was 13 on amazon.

Can anyone recommend a dock that works with the Google/LG bumper?

I've find this cases compatible with the Docking Station: :good:

the problem is: does aluminum scratches the phone?

it does not look like it has the cut out for the pogo pins ,so that would be useless

I have the dock (was in the box in Japan) and have been looking around for a case compatible with it.
The truth is that even 0.35mm thick cases are not compatible.
I am of course talking about cases that covers the sides and back of the phone.
Cases of this thickness have been tested and reported as non-compatible by Japanese users. They still require to push very hard on the phone to fit into the dock and it is hard to take it out after that.

I've also got a brodit car holder that uses the pogo pins.
So for me its even worse, not only does the case have to fit with the dock, but also the car holder.
And all these superthin cases are not cheap, don't want to drop 30 bucks USD on an experiment.

Case compatible dock
I just came across a dock on Ebay UK that has a removable section to allow the extra width needed for case's.
Ive ordered it so will report back when it arrives, from Hong Kong so may not be quick.
Excellent idea tho, something Sony should pick-up on maybe.

Wow, nice, have got an link for us?

Looks awesome, but do the ...prongs reach the phone thru the case? All my googling found nothing on this particular on this dock. Can't wait for the link, as well.

Cant post links yet, search eBay UK for "xperia z case dock" it'll be about 3 down

So I'm sure some of us have seen the aluminum cases/bumpers for the Z. Well, this is the first time I've seen one with the docking port (or whatever) exposed.

Except that I don't want gold, and rather'd have the bumper, not the case, this looks promising.

Thats weird...the other colors have theirs blocked off. Even though it has the holes in them, question is will it still fit the dock?

Exactly. I think I'll see if I can contact them to find if they have others like the gold one (maybe w/o the back). And, if anything, the aluminum bumper/case might fit into the expandable dock, mentioned on here, earlier.

Expandable dock won't be shipped to the Netherlands

Dock arrived this morning, and looks pretty impressive.
Dimesionally, it is exactly the same as the DK26 dock from Sony, the removable sleeve (to allow extra thickness for cases) is approx 1mm+ thick and very nicely
built into the unit - and easy to remove.
The charging pins are more than long enough to cope with a case as they are spring loaded.
Also, this dock also allows for charging from my laptop (DK26 does not work from a USB) which is handy.
TBH for the price difference - 6.99 compared with 25.00 for the DK26, and the abilty to charge from pc, and use with a case ......its a no brainer really.
Only critisism i can make really, is the springy prongs (Not the charger ones) that hold the phone are a little stiff, which may case problems with gel cases etc. that will try to drag rather than push. Although these will probably free up more with use.
overall, for seven quid, you cant go wrong.
I also own the DK26 and thouroughly wish id of seen this first.
EDIT:
Just took it apart and pulled out the springs, now its smooth as. A highly recommended mod.
Phone now just drops into place nicely, regardless of case.

The bumper cases still wont fit, it has to be a thin profile case.
Removing the insert only gives you just over 1.5mm of clearance, so cases still need to be thin as can be. But there are quite a few out there with the slot for dock pins.

I would have to say the ibolt xprodock I was iffy about paying $40 but it's so worth it. It fits any case. I'm using it With cygnett workmate. It can fit a note 2 with otterbox and still have room for more. It has charger and automatically starts car dock mode when u download an app for it. This seller I bought from is amazing I had a problem and fixed it and credited me a few bucks back . I wouldn't buy another dock. You can even use it as a dash cam because it keeps camera exposed

I agree with all of this. There's a iBolt thread in this forum where a bunch of other GS4 users have made posts. It's an excellent product, and their customer support is great.

Samsung does have one and it is available at Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/Samsung-Galax...TF8&qid=1369347219&sr=8-1&keywords=ECS-K200BE
However you have to pay the Samsung price if you know what I mean

Another vote for the iBolt dock. Secure, functions well, doesn't obscure the camera, lets the S4 in a Trident Kraken/Otterbox Defender fit, etc... pricey but worth it IMHO.

I was looking at that one too. Is there any chance someone has the neo hybrid case and could check to see if the usb can even be connected on the dock?

I can confirm that case does not fit charger...only problem I did have you can just change usb on the dock itself tho

It does not fit, but you can shave down soft plastic of the iBolt connector pretty easily with a x-acto/hobby knife. Or any sharp knife really. Took me 1-2 minutes to do. See my post with pictures here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41503354&postcount=35
There's also a bunch of other useful info about the iBolt dock in that thread.

I'm a big fan of these
http://www.amazon.com/cell-phones-accessories/dp/B002K9IPOC
It mounts securely and it solid and it's easy to clip and unclip the phone one handed. Adjustment is also one handed via push buttons and you can rotate it to and from landscape without changing your adjustments. My S4 will be my third phone to occupy the mount.

I've tried all the better model of car docks and the Craigsdocks dock is by far the best, IMO.
http://www.craigsdocks.com/samsung-galaxy-s3-s4-note-ii-car-dock/
Charges, secure holding. Can put the phone in and remove it, all with one hand. No putting it in the dock and then plugging in the USB cable. Nope, this one is all done in one easy motion with just one hand.
A bit more $$, but it will work with any Samsung Galaxy phone. S2, S3, S4, Note II. So it's pretty much future proof as long as Samsung keeps putting the USB port on the bottom of the phone.
It also works with extended batteries and large cases. And billet aluminum. I just can't really say enough good things about this dock.

That's exactly what I was going to do, right flat on the base with industrial strength Velcro tape - don't use screws, just Velcro that thing right to it and it should work just fine that way, the CraigsDock has a very flat base on the back of it and would work great with the flat face of the ProClip vehicle mount! Just make sure to get all the screws set first, obviously, or else you'll have to peal back the one side of Velcro just to get to it. Use Velcro tape and not double-sided tape because then you can't work with it quickly or switch out components when you get a new phone as easily! PROTIP :good:

Has anyone here tried out a magnetic mount?

I really like the iOttie One Touch XL that I just got. It has a very strong suction cup and an easy one click lock/release mechanism.
I got it on a sale from Meritline.
I'd also tried another iOttie that's more compact. While the S4 fits it, it's near the end of the range so it's more of a two handed operation to put the phone in the holder. I much prefer the Easy One Touch linked above.

I've had an iottie. Works ok but with my galaxy s4 my phones has fell out a couple times. Worth the extra money for ibolt

I never had a problem with support. Between the usb connector going into the bottom and the back lip the phone is pretty sturdy when docked.
