Just received this dock and have been using it for a couple of days.
Only $10 -- a cheap alternative so some of the 40-50$ options.

It's small, feels like a decent quality piece. It's glossy black with rubber feet on the bottom so it doesn't slide around. It keeps the Note 2 supported nicely when it's dropped in. It's got a floppy rubbery insert that you can take out if you have a case.
One con is that a few times when I've yanked my phone out, the rubber piece has either partially or completely come out. My advice would be to decide on a case of not and, if you leave the rubber insert in, put a drop of hot glue or something to keep the insert in place.
See pics below. Let me know if you have questions.
Does it work with the slimmer cases?

This is basically a glorified charger. No USB no HDMI no speak out. Does it even charge a spare battery? Whats the point?

What voltage and amperes does it deliver?

I think it's cool man, it's just a simple charging dock. Great to keep at the office or your bedside.
So the only difference then my stock cable is my phone will be standing upward?...Lol...

Yes, it works with a slim case for me without even taking the rubber insert out. When you take the rubber insert out, there's a good 0.5-0.75cm around it, particularly the edges. A case with a big beefy back probably would not fit.

It doesn't come with a cable -- you use your phone's provided cable or anything else, so whatever those deliver. I just have a usb-to-microusb running from my computer to it and it works fine.

Sheesh guys. Think a little more outside your own world.
I have this dock connected to my computer at work. I walk in from a meeting, drop the phone in the charger (instead of setting it down, picking up the cable, jamming it in, etc) and it's immediately mounted as a drive on my computer and is charging anytime I'm at my desk. Need to run to a meeting? You just pick it up...no fussing with cables.
Nope, no spare battery. Surprise, most people don't need one. I spend half my day working at my desk, meaning my phone is charging half the day. In fact, I don't even feel like I ever "charge". It's just sitting in its stand. I never need to plug it in at home.
Nope, no USB or HDMI. Surprise, 99% of the people that use this phone care about that, so why pay for a $100 for a dock with it (that's the wrong color, BTW).
20 bucks? Wow, they saw you coming a mile off.
It's the same dock as this, which is in black or white.

You can just plug the phone into the dock without having to pick up the charge cable and plug it into the phone. Same for removing it from the dock. Since we have to charge the phone everyday, I would say the dock has a value.

I'll do a more detailed review tonight and switch out the photos with better ones too.
First impressions: Holy crap this is huge!
It is very reminiscent of the commuter series for the HTC Hero (of course). However, this one feels a bit more "rugged".
The case has the standard plugs for the headphones and microusb ports. It also has the raised areas for the volume rocker and on/off button. The front is well protected and thick enough to not really have to worry about placing the phone face down.
It was much easier to attach than the Sedio Innocase! And conversely, it's a PAIN to remove (which is a good thing!)
It takes about the same amount of force to slide open the keyboard. It's borderline too hard for me.
Oh, the keyboard lights aren't completely covered either! Granted you still can't see them looking directly down at the phone, you can see them if you tilt the phone back a little.
My initial qualms are:
1) The case is slightly too long for the phone. The top of the case that is around the keyboard is loose. Not just a little, but it looks like it wasn't even meant for this phone.
2) Like the mini-usb plug on the Hero's commuter series, the micro-usb plug on the Shift's commuter series doesn't want to stay in.
3) Since the back side is beveled and it's semi-hard to slide out, it sometimes takes a couple tries because it keeps slipping out of my hands.
Nit-picks:
1) Backside cover is off-center (flash/camera/speaker aren't centered in their respective cutouts)
2) No silicone on the front so when it's face down it slides around easily (compared to the hero which had silicone bumpers on the front)

It's does a very good job of covering up the phone and not being loose.
Got mine today, as wizputer noted the mini-usb isn't snug enough to remain in the port. Otherwise, very impressed with the design and construction of the case.
got mine in today, very pleased. although it was a little bit of a b*^&h to put on. After getting it on I noticed the usb plug being a pain, and the power button seems to need a lil extra force to actually click, but other than that love it. I feel safe now
Good review, disappointed, love my Otterbox's for my EVO and HD2. The split covers though, Shift and Tilt (from experience), just do not seem to provide the same kind of coverage but I do not know what else they could do to make them better.

Hello again, Nerdz.
This review will be for the all mighty docking station with built in battery charger and spare battery. I found it for $49.97 and received a 20% discount with the purchase of two other accessories. One of which was the Power and Protection Package that was aleady marked down by 25 dollars and I still received the 20% off of the damn box as well. I hope your experience will be as excellent as mine. (Father's Day weekend) I scored an awesome wife..
After a long hard day of work the last thing you wanna do is stare at your phone. So I give you the DOCKtor. It is your basic docking station with one micro USB port for the power pusher. It has a recessed area for the USB port protector and can also fit the phone with the expanded battery attached. The battery port is also equipped to fit the fat beast of a battery you may or have purchased. it has a light indicator for the charging battery. (Red, Yellow, Green) and a nice white LG logo that illuminates once the phone is docked. DESKHOME launches and automatically displays the digital time.
Let go of your phone and enjoy your much bigger monitor sitting on your desk. This works great with the HDMI cord plugged into my HDTV and the AUX from the sound system leading into the phone. It is a nice way to ignore the ROKU and tell it, "anything you can do my phone can do better!"

Very true. Just a heads up, Verizon sells it for $29.99 plus tax. Amazon? $17.00, no shipping. I love mine. I had on my phone for 20 minutes, then my twin 18 month old boys and I were playing, one little guy reached in my pocket and ran off in 2.5 seconds. Then it went across the room, and off the dining room table, bounced off the floor and out the door as my wife was coming in the house. It finally rested on my concrete patio. It was ridiculous! Phone? Perfect. Case? Barely a scratch.

I have that same case but I was having problems with the phone getting very hot. I was wondering if anyone else experienced this problem?
I haven't had the heating issue. My only complaint is they don't make that case for an extended battery. otherwise, I love it. fits the holster nice...Its good.
It claims to be case comparable by removing an insert
And at $32 bucks it's not a bad buy but it would be nice to find it cheeper. Anyway I was wondering if anyone had one and if it's any good?

I just ordered one. It should arrive in two days. In general I find Mobile Fun quite trustworthy. They seem to test all the stuff they resell so that they know its decent quality.
I'll let you know how the cradle works.
I have one on order from 4u-mobi that shipped Monday. I'll let you know when I get it. I already started a thread about this as well, called Kidigi dock for Nexus 7.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1849616&highlight=kidigi
Ok it arrived and my N7 is in it.
As Testaccount says above, it fits very well with the insert in place and no case. Without the insert it's a little loose, probably because with my case is just a gel back cover. Putting a couple of sheets of paper in behind the Nexus shows that the dock would be a good tight fit if the case was about 1 mm thicker so if you are thinking of a slightly bigger case, one of the wrap around maybe, the dock should work well.
Even without the paper it isn't so loose that it will fall out or anything. I just spent a hour prodding the screen to turn pages in Kindle and it showed no sign of falling. All in all I'm pretty happy with it. I don't see how they could have made it substantially better without mandating what case you can use with it.

Guys, I'm going to be launching a wireless charging phone sleeve on Kickstarter (Novelsys ampere) in January for the Nexus 6. The unique selling point will be the Smart app that communicates with the sleeve.
I'm doing research for the launch now to determine what features to incorporate in this app:
Display estimated battery life in hrs of phone and ampere
Control when charging starts
find your phone or ampere when one is missing
notifications to recharge at time or location
What other features would you like to see? I've recently posted in the S5 and Nexus 5 forums too, and I've been told not to dilute the product, which I agree with heartily. These are the features I've narrowed it down to. What other things do you think we need to bake in? It will probably be open to developers post-Kickstarter.
I myself use a Nexus 4 with Qi built in but I haven't found a satisfactory wireless charging solution yet... that's kinda why I worked on my own.
See more about the product: http://kickstarter.novelsys.co
Just subscribed on your website
Okay so this is meant to protect the phone and charge it at the same time? Im assuming there is a battery inside the case as well as a qi transmitter?
That's right. Paired with an app. And higher build quality than from your typical Qi charger. What do you think about the idea?
Subscribed as well...if you need a beta tester let me know.
Sent from my Nexus 5 using XDA Free mobile app
Looks excellent, but you need to figure out a solution to why sleeves suck, they either have no top and don't hold the phone well or are too tight.
As long as it comes in black so I can keep it on with my uniform!
I'll beta if I need to as well!
Would you like my wallet now, or later?
Seriously, I hope this will be as good as it sounds.
Yes its black, and the internal colour has been changed from orange to grey so its more suitable for corporate environments!
That's an interesting perspective on sleeves. Yes will take that into account when testing.
aiight, im jumping on the bandwagon too. :fingers-crossed:
just subb'ed and am following you cats on instagram...
I think I'm getting a QI enabled power bank for Christmas..... But a sleeve makes much more sense! I think its a great idea. Definitely more secure and will keep the QI aligned to ensure it stays charging.
Any info about the mah of the sleeve for the Nexus 6. Would need to be enough to charge the device at least twice in my opinion.
What about a using magnets to help secure the phone inside the sleeve instead of just tension?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Premium HD
honestly seems like a pretty good idea, the potential problems I see for this are targeting the correct consumer base. The phone is already big, this will make it huge, therefore its not going in anyones pocket. So, who carries phones around not in a pocket? People that have other places to put them, who has other places to put them?
1. Women (in their purse)
2. Older executives in a briefcase maybe?
3. College kids who might carry a backpack?
I may be wrong, but as much as I would like something like this, its just too inconvenient not to have my phone in my pocket. There's still some clip phone people out there, maybe adding a clip would help? Just my 2 cents, love the idea, just concerned its not being designed for the right demographic aesthetically.
The problem for me as others have mentioned is the bulkiness of the sleeve. When you add in the 3,000mah battery (assuming it would at least be this size) and coils for qi charging it's going to pretty thick. I'm Ok with that because this would be on my visor in my work truck, but wouldn't go great in pocket.
if you are taking the no idea is a bad idea approach, what if you incorporated this into a car mount with the display revealed, so every day I got into my car I could slide it in, and it would charge, then I could slide it out and take it with me, or if I KNEW i was going to need extra battery, I could detach the whole thing and clip it to a belt or throw it in a pack?

That's a pretty sweet idea! Maybe that could come as a stretch goal or in the next iteration of ampere. I originally included a pocket at the back of the sleeve for cards and cash but didn't like the aesthetics/ bulk of it. That could actually have been space for a belt clip. Hmm. I could find some way to hack around it maybe.... thanks for the brilliant idea.

Please, feel free to share. I've been searching tirelessly for potential competitors too so I can learn how to improve ampere's user experience.
You know what, that's where I got the idea for ampere too, but I think I've made ampere sufficiently sexy, slim, and seamless with alignment + smart charging app that you'll at least consider it over that? If you must know, that was what I put together for the MVP (prototype) to prove product validation. So I guess you can say you just recreated ampere v1.

I thought about magnets too, but the sleeve itself helps with securing the phone and alignment. Magnets would make it harder to get the phone out of the sleeve, and would necessitate some kind of strap to lift the phone out, which in turn adds some to bulk.

I completely understand, either way it looks like a nice idea, and a convenient way to charge your phone.
got this cheapo magnet cable from aliexpress (will find the link later) ordered it weeks ago.
seems to charge at 8.8V @ 1.6A so its not bad for us$4 shipped.
makes it difficult to use a standard cable now. although there are better designed ones for $12 which are thinner and don't stick out as much.

anyway $10 for the thinner better ones isnt too bad, here's the search link:
www.aliexpress.com/wholesale?Search...9&initiative_id=SB_20160316041032&needQuery=y
if this cheap one can carry the current then im sure the brand name ones can too.
i have sent msg to seller about why his not selling anymore, when i bought them i could select 10+ units, but it was actually more costly, so i bought one by one
the magnet is actually too strong as my tablet usb port is a little larger so the connector comes out with the cable, a little glue will fix it though.
where as the s7 edge port is tight, needs dental floss to pull out
overall very convenient for sure.
@h3ck $10 to much for ya?
heres another $4 one, looks thinner too... http://www.aliexpress.com/item/Magn...Charger-Charging-Cable-White/32624008438.html

This is the same one I'm using, small plug, cable is very soft, good for holding your phone while charging, so the cable won't snap off easily.
Btw i tried with QC2.0 charger can get 9v 1.5-1.6a

Are these connections such that direction doesn't matter? In other words, can you rotate the cable 180 degrees and it still connects and charges properly?
@meyerweb yes kinda like reversible usb-c but with needing to plug in, doesnt matter what angle, it will snap in the correctly - the whole point is the total ease of use.

Cool. Thank you. At home I generally just plop the phone down on a wireless puck, but this would be great for the car.
I saw this on ebay and bought it.

Got it and it's complete crap. The portion that goes into your device will not stay in the device. So the magnet is strong enough to pull it right out. Spent $4 on it and I don't think it's even worth that. I contacted the seller, we'll see what happens. Buyer beware!
I just ordered this one for $3.98. I hope the quality doesn't suck.
The other ones looked like they are too wide at 17mm width to be used inside a case.
SWEETLF one on Amazon is about the best you'll find. I've been using it for months now.
