It fits good on the port on the phone ( unlike the majority of chargers) and it has a fairly strong magnet. I've got mine for around 5$ from ebay.

Well, i have never used ebay.com ,i dont trust ali express , i have ordered a case ,it has been almost 2 months ,still case is not delivered
Amazon has them as well, and if there is any issue it would be easier to deal with them.

Looks like its not in stock yet though.
None of them are currently available though

Don't bother
I've tried a couple of the MicroUSB adapters from AliExpress/eBay and I wouldn't bother again. They are difficult to connect/lineup in the dark, and the magnets aren't strong enough to keep the cable attached if there is any tension on the cable at all. Mine connects in the hand, but as soon as I put the phone down they fall off. You would need a very very thin and flexible cable for these to be practical.
I think almost all are like that.
I've had 3 magnetic chargers from ebay. Out of the 3 , the strongest one and the one that lines up easiest is the one from the picture I posted in the 2nd post.
the magnector x ones are very strong and very well reviewed on the whole, although one or two are claiming that the magnetic ports have been ripped out of the phone, and sony are refusing to recognise it as a manufacturing issue - I have both magnector adapters, although I've since switched to a more generic tube shaped third party product, which is more fiddly to connect but which potentially puts less strain on the socket - aim for a compromise, and they're not all crap

I got my Magnector X delivered today and it fits really well. I find it hard to believe the magnet pulled out any part of the port, the magnet isn't really that strong. If for any reason it did damage it, though, after reading what you said (cheers), I wouldn't even mention I used it and would demand for my phone to be fixed under warranty.
Edit: Since posting this I have read the other thread where the ports have became lose and pulled out. I didn't realise it was a separate part that slots into the side.

Hi I send this one back, terrible fit... overprized too... tried several version from ebay and only one fits fairly nice...
it's not perfect but thats sony design flow... Tip : a silicon case helps fixating the magn. charger in place....
I got the magnector x2 and it works great with my case.

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!

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

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)
Hey
I was wondering for a recommendation for a HTC Desire Z desktop dock with a AC adapter to use it as a clock and also free up the USB cable that came with the Desire Z. I perfer official but I dont think there is any for the Desire Z, only the G2.
Thanks
Desire Z and G2 are the same thing.
this isn't legit once
but this is one i've been using and it works pretty well =]

This is exactly what I did. Though, once the lights are out its surprising how much light still gets through even that. Granted its barely noticeable but just shows how bright the damn thing is.
I have that dock, it's so messy to attach the phone that I stopped using it - scared of damaging the USB port.
This is the "Official" one from T-Mobile. I love it. Works great as a daily alarm clock. Matches great with the phone.

Just get Spider podium bend it the way you like, and use the cable that came whit the phone to dock, since this is just a phone stand. And since you need a micro-usb cable for smth, just crab one from a local store for couple bucks.
http://www.breffo.com/product-information/product-info/
And here is my Spiderpodium: https://www.dropbox.com/gallery/11374881/1/Spiderpodium?h=d7c0f4
Best part, works whit every phone out there. so when you get a new phone, this is compatible whit it.
Rubber coating is great, and crabs on nicely. You could use this to mount your phone to bike, at least that's what they say, and it really is so firm that it would probably hold just fine. tough @ first glance it totally looks like its not going to hold it that well.
ust purchased a G2, waiting for it to arrive, but I always look around for accessories and gadgets. Those official T-mo ones are on ebay for decent price. Have some Hk knock-offs for cheaper as well.
I've got the cradle charger that was shown earlier on ebay earlier. It's also on Amazon: http://www.amazon.com/GSI-Quality-Desktop-Charger-Data-Sync/dp/B004H6N7XA/ref=cm_cr_pr_product_top
It worked great except for the problem with plugging it in every night. There are no guides to help aligning the USB plug. I have to fiddle with it for a little while before it seats. This has done some very minor damage to the usb port over a year.
I upgraded to an extended Seideo Innocell 3500MAh and now the phone can not dock in the cradle. Also the 2nd battery charger can not accomodate the extended size battery.
Docking this phone is an absolute nightmare. Had a car holder for mine. Took some nerves the first couple of times to fit it.
Has anyone recently bought the genuine T mobile dock show in this thread? Tried eBay, Amazon and google but just get many knockoff versions - any help appreciated thanks.
The one mentioned in this thread is kind of clumsy as you all say.
The spider one not only looks weird but not sure if it can do landscape.

Thanks, but I think the genuine one is exactly the right size so should be easy to use. The knockoff ones don't appear to have any guide so the lining up the phone with the power jack is guesswork. I think the genuine one should work fine.

Xenomix. A brand from Korea which has really impressed me with it's quality of products. It's a pain to wait for the products from overseas, but it's well worth the wait IMO. My first product was a Xenomix car mount that can be used with BOTH my N4 and N7 with it's respective cases. Granted you cannot use the car mount with the N4 and charge at the same time, but I am ok with that sacrifice. Search for my threads on the Xenomix car mount in the Nexus 7 threads if you want to look at pics there.
Then I was sent a Xenomix stand. It's a generic phone or tablet stand meant for the Galaxy S3. I told the seller to send me one of those whereas I had an idea of using it for my mad scientist reasons lol.
This was before xmas so I knew I would be getting this by the middle of January, but alas, it came in today (1/10/13).
I excitedly ripped the packaging and I found the great generic phone stand. Inside the package was a bit of rubber that looked like it was a cut piece of the soft rubber from manufacturing but I figured I'd keep the piece just in case I needed it.
Next I slid the underside of the stand out. This is meant if you place a tablet in the stand to prevent it from tipping over or falling back due to the weight distribution. I slid the LG wireless charger in the stand.
Next I put the phone right on top of the charger and guess what?!?! It holds in place and charges!!!!! Remember that rubber piece I was referring to earlier? I used a glue stick and stuck the soft rubber piece (Same material used to hold the device in the stand-its really soft) in front and used it as a anchor mount. It's not needed, but it works! Check it....

The stand can be found only on ebay that I have seen. It's a generic Xenomix Smart desktop stand (in black or white) made for the galaxy tab or ipad. model SHG-DK100.
I forgot to initially mention that I have a Diztronic Ultra Hard Shell installed. I will try using TPU cases tomorrow to ensure that this setup can still be used with something a little more thicker like the Diztronic TPU case.

LOL I know I'll probably just cover the entire bottom with electrical tape to cover up the 'booster' lol.
I did the same thing at home with the Energizer qi charger lol. I have another landscape version of the this dock for the Sensation and put the Energizer pad landscape as well so that the dock won't easily tip over. Then put a rubber band to keep the charger from slipping off and viola! Another ghetto rigged stand for viewing the phone in portrait rather than layin down lol. I can post pics for that too. Not that pretty either. LOL
BUMPERS!
Edited OP with NEW stuff!
Normally I don't understand bumping accessory topics, but in this case, thanks! If I decide to blow the money on the charging pad I will definitely follow in your footsteps and make one of these, seems awesome

Well the thread was initially created when I ghetto-fitted a dock to fit the LG pad, but looked really really tacky lol. This looks a bit more cleaned up and more like something I would buy if created lol.
For sake of saving face a bit, I just deleted the old pics and lil write up I did on the ghetto-fitted dock, I replaced it with the write up you see today .
Thank you!! I ended up picking up two of these docks and I'm now using them with my LG chargers. $30 for both stands and now I can use my charger as I always wanted. The cheapest charging stand I could find that had a decent angle was a Nokia on Amazon for $67 at only 750 mA. This solution was PERFECT for me! Thanks very much for posting!

I have the orb at home... Works well, but the angle isn't steep enough at times. I looked at the Tylt VU and had the same issue. Angle was a little low for my needs. Plus, I have the LG chargers just laying around, so they can now be used again!
So after picking up my S5 and absolutely HATING the USB3 connector on it, I decided I would go to a wireless charger. Read reviews and everyone has a different opinion so I got what I could find easily on eBay.
I picked up a charger for my wife's S4 and my S5, though not from the same seller (Neither seller had charge cards for both phones)
Wife got a pink one (to match her Otterbox Defender....more on that in a minute) and I picked up a blue one for my S5
Hers arrived and I went to work putting in the card. Worked flawlessly even through the big Otterbox. Awesome!
Mine came a few days later. Put the card in my phone (no case) and plugged in the charger. First thing I notice is the light to let you know its plugged in is VERY dim compared to the wife's. Weird but ok. Put the charge card in and put it on the charger.....nothing. Move it around some...finally find the exact spot it needs to charge (which happens to be 180 degrees from how you use the phone) Just a slight touch and its not charging. Also noticed her charging indication light on the pad is green, the one on mine was a very, very dim red.
So, thinking its the charge card...I test with the pink Qi charger. Works fine no matter how I put it on.
Contacted the seller, they told me to take the case off my phone, after my initial complaint stated I do not use a case on my phone. That was it..all communication stopped after their first response. I eventually won the case and got a refund. Seller was "findmall".
Anyway, the wife found she doesn't use hers as much as she though so I swapped insides (I can't use a pink charger lol). Here are the pics...the one I ordered for mine (blue) looks quite a bit different, both in quality of the charge coil solder connections, and the circuit board. Both look identical on the outside other than color.
Hope this helps someone. The good charger came (very quickly) from "accmonster" on eBay and was about $3 more.
Pics of them opened up before the swap:

Close up of the pink with different board, better solder joins, and nice coil

From my shopping I'd think there are very few factories actually making these things, My LuguLake one is very similar externally. It does work fine for all my Qi capable devices. Amazon/ebay sellers often have 8-10 Qi chargers, probably the same internals.
I also have a raw Qi transmitter ordered from China that works ok, very bright LEDs. I haven't installed it in a case or whatever yet but the LEDs are almost too bright. It is a different design from your 2.

The coil was pictured as a separate piece on ebay, wired to the board. I was a little bummed to see it sandwiched as it doubles thickness making the existing car mount I wanted to mod not feasible with out weakening it to much. I may make a nightstand or desk top with it embedded. Need to test how well it works through a thin veneer. But it does work fine in basic testing.
The Lugulake QI charger has the identical back as yours also, gotta be same case maker and probably same factory.
Hello, I'm searching for covers for audio jack and type-c ports. As long as I don't use them at all I don't want the dust to get in.
So, first I would like to have some plastic (I suppose) covers (just the covers) to use them with my Samsung Clear View Standing Cover.
Secondly, one case that have the covers.
Any suggestions, please?
Thanks,
Bill
Offhand the Otterbox Commuter is the only case I can think of that has port flaps.

It's rated for water resistance & even then,don't count on Samsung backing up that claim.
Here's an excerpt from the Samsung US Warranty terms:
https://www.samsung.com/us/Legal/Phone-HSGuide/
What is not covered?
This Standard Limited Warranty is conditioned upon proper use of the Product.
This Standard Limited Warranty does not cover: (a) defects or damage resulting from accident, misuse, abnormal use, abnormal conditions, improper storage, exposure to liquid, moisture, dampness, sand or dirt, neglect, or unusual physical, electrical or electromechanical stress; (b) scratches, dents and cosmetic damage, ........................
TLDR:
Count on Samsung not covering repairs due to water intrusion.

Can you use this case without the screen protector, or do they offer an option without it? I like the idea of using a case with covers for the USB-C and headphone ports but not with a built-in screen protector.
