Nice find! I'll be interested in the build quality for $29.99 but it's exactly what a lot of us are looking for.

The quality of the plastic based on those pics makes it look like something you'd see on cellphoneshop.net for $5.
I would pay slightly more for a quality dock using the connector pins that has some weight to it, maybe even a metal base. Unfortunately nothing like that is out and I need a dock ASAP, so they'll get my $30

That's cool - too bad it has a bright blue LED to light up the bedroom at night

My point was that the designer of this put little thought into the use of the product. I have enough "night lights" in my bedroom as it is.

Too bad it will not work for me. I will not remove my TPU case nightly to use this. I wish somebody would come out with a doc that has few inserts (similar to apple docs) so phones with or without cases would fit. I would buy 2 of them if that was to happen. One at work and one for home.

I can't believe you can get this phone for 29 bucks with a new contract in some places, then have to pay 30$ for (what looks to be) a cheap piece of junk like this.

Got case on phone, is there a desktop charger that will fit?

Got a TPU case on my phone and love it. Is there a desktop charger other than the seidio one that could fit it?

Just use a USB cord with a case with a prop, works great

I got a few of these: http://www.ebay.com/itm/SAMSUNG-GALAXY-S2-S-II-I9100-ZENIS-DESKTOP-DOCK-CHARGER-CRADLE-/220883609072?_trksid=p4340.m185&_trkparms=algo%3DSIC.NPJS%26its%3DI%252BC%26itu%3DUA%26otn%3D5%26pmod%3D270865448058%26ps%3D63%26clkid%3D5859734319996833550
and they have worked with all my Samsung Android phones WITH "thinner" type cases. When I put the Diztronics case on the GNex it didn't fit by a hair so I took a Dremel tool and ground down the front edge just a little. It looks a LOT worse in the picture (since it is close up and due to the lighting) then it does on my desk but it could also be done a lot neater. I kind of slipped with the Dremel. For the price, these docks can't be beat. They only make them in 1 size yet they advertise them as if they are different (and jack up the prices depending on the phone). There is NO audio or video out, it's simply a charge/sync/nightstand cradle.

Today I broke down and ordered the "RND Power Solutions Deluxe 2nd Battery Charger and Data Sync Cradle" from amazon.com (too new to post a link, just give it a search).
This may be what you are looking for, because it is described as having an insert you can put in/remove depending on the case you are using.
I should have this guy in-hand Friday and I can give you a more detailed review.

Not sure you´r correct, since they are saying in the reviews, that the sparepart charger doesn´t fit their type of battery, but its ment for the GSM version. .
So IMO this one on Amazon is for the GSM-version, but still wil work for the LTE versions phones, but not the spare battery they may want to charge..

That looks to be the same as the KiDiGi one listed on the Mobi site except the Amazon price is a lot less expensive. However on the Mobi site it is listed as a GSM (i9250) version.
I've been tempted as they also have a car dock with the same form factor but I'm really looking for something that looks decent but allows me to leave my Qmadix case on the phone.

I finally got the charging dock from 4u-mobi and can confirm that the GSM model with a casemate barely there case will fit..
I also got a s-curve TPU case, that fit this dock as well....
In both combinations you need to take off the insert

what about the clingo desktop stand. i;ve been looking at getting a universal desktop dock so that i can use it with a case and future phones.

I just ended up getting the gogostand and taping it to my desk. Works flawless. Yes it doesnt charge, but I couldnt find anything that I liked without having to remove my case each time. And I wasnt going to do that.

KENU Airframe + N5 Wireless Charger = SUCCESS!

Hello N5 owners! I had a curiosity recently of using a Kenu Airframe and a Nexus 5 Wireless Charger as my car mount build. I went and bought the products and finally as soon as they arrive and test them, I can proudly say this TRULY works as a daily driver!
Here are some pics of how it would look and hold up the N5 charger:
This is a video demo I uploaded so you can see how it would look in action:
Sorry for the poor quality.

i really wish there was something similar in functionality and ease of use, but doesn't cover the air vent. i hate covering up the air vent.

Thanks for the review. I have the Kenu I've been using. Looks like I have to get the Nexus charger. I already have 3 of the Nokia. I hope my Diztronic case is thin enough.

Where are you getting power to feed the charger. Does USB provide enough juice??

Use the same N5 wireless charger, but a different mount:

Great thinking! I was toying with something like this and you already did it! lol My only question is if any cases would work or not. I do not have the new wireless charger, now you gave me a reason to buy one and test it!

Nice solution.
Can easily be modified with this: http://www.ebay.com/itm/Genuine-Nok...3091?pt=UK_Holders_Mounts&hash=item5401f82763
But are stock magnets strong enough to hold phone on rough road?

thanks for the comments. I gave it a test drive today. Where I live, the roads are pretty messed up, so it managed its grip nicely.

This is a pretty awesome idea, this is pretty much exactly what I want. Hesitant over the air vent though.
Asking for one of these for christmas: http://www.amazon.com/dp/B008IOQ3K6/ref=wl_it_dp_o_pC_nS_ttl
But this is an awesome alternative, would feel bad ditching that mount though. The charging for it is an awesome idea but albeit a bit more on the expensive side.

This is really great clean and simple.

Beat me to it OP! I found elsewhere someone modded a qi car mount and it gave me an idea to do exactly this with my airframe! Unfortunately I don't have the Google charger yet lol. How well does the magnet hold the phone? I would like to be able to drive without issue, but with my case on as well. I drive on smooth roads but occasionally bump here and there (I dont slow down comoletely for speed bumps)

i have an airframe already (the best in car holder ive ever invested in) and aiming to get the wireless charger in the new year. Now providing the USB cable gets enough charge from the car its an amazing, no-worry way of chargin whilst on long journeys, plus it will ensure that i dont forget a charger again (i'm notorious for leaving chargers at home when going away)

It took me about 3 hrs to hunt down that design because I had no clue where to look. You can always commission someone to design it for you

Nah I got the design and have access to a few different 3d printers in class. Post your results of what you get when it's done!
Tapatalk Nexus 5 Master Race

Found a guy on Reddit who has access to a printer in his lab. Working on details to get one printed! Will post back once it's all done and received.

That looks great!
I'm also curious if anyone's created a version like this for the car.
I just got my Nexus Wireless Charger recently and have been looking at different options on how to mount it to my car dashboard without doing any permanent modifications. This printed dock/stand looks like the right idea.

I got a quote for this thing this morning and they want $300 to print it because it's a solid model rather than shelled.
Something to keep in mind before you guys get your hopes up.

Might contact the creator and see if he can edit to make it hollow?

Thanks Weston, I found a friend local who has one and I'm getting a lesson on how to use it Saturday to print my own. Once I do that, a designer friend of mine are going to sit down and refine the design to clean it up and make the stand as stable as possible

I just had one printed by a co-worker and love it. The most difficult part is getting the cable through and it cuts 6-8 inches off of the cable which is already rather short for the official nexus charger. Just keep that in mind.

prototyping right now and it looks like the angle is a bit steep but I'm just doing a rough draft

ive been thinking and i think it would look better and be cheaper if i could redesign it like the guy who made his own wood charger. buy some strong magnets for the nexus 5 back and use a cheap disassembled generic qi charger. then you wouldnt have to buy the expensive nexus 5 charger

[Q] Where to buy MagNector-X Adapter w/ shipping to Canada?

As the title suggests. I'm looking for a MagNextor-X Adapter seller that ships to Canada.
There was an ebay seller but ebay error shows this seller can't take payments anymore.
There there's the amazon one but doesn't ship to Canada. UGH

I found them on eBay from a California seller who shipped to Canada in less than a week. Ended up costing around c$60 for two of them (discounted shipping on 2nd item).

Wow that's expensive! $30 / each. Guess that's the rip off you have to settle with for living in Canada

or u can just buy it from the company that makes it

As long as you have the adapter you're good I suppose.

Don't buy the magnector. It doesn't fit flush into the charging port on the z3. U had to return mine and buy something off of eBay.
Sent from my D5803 using XDA Free mobile app

90% of what can be purchased on eBay doesn't charge at full speed and has an inferior magnet. I'd simply modify the adapter with a sharp knife or scalpel if if doesn't fit perfectly.

You can try but the thing that doesn't fit is the metal plate between the two charge connectors and I doubt you are going to be able to modify that. Someone posted a link to an official sony magnetic cable in another thread.

It "Fits" as far as the port snapping into place and charging. However, that's only the metal part, there's also the plastic from the charger that doesn't sit flush against the phone. This allows it to roll up and down and is very weak against this direction of force. So even when just picking up my phone, it slightly disconnects just enough that it stays on, but stops charging until re-seated. These are far from perfect, just acceptable...

Its a magenet, it charges my phone, is only a issue if I am trying to use it while it is charging which I don't. Works well. Personally planning to use a phone with a magnet stuck to the side isn't something I would expect to work perfectly as it is in the middle of the side of the phone and I would want to hold said phone.

One End is Micro USB, the other one is the magnetic charger.

Except these cheap adapters usually charge too slow to be useful. I have a pile of different ones lying around here and just one in ten works fine. The Magnector is actually reliable.
