Hello, I was wondering if anyone had seen this yet.
http://www.4u-mobi.com/onlinestore/index.php?route=product/product&product_id=156
I have Kidigi desk and car docks for my One X and they are pretty nice. I like them because I can keep the TPU case on my phone and still use the docks. It looks like they did the same thing with this N7 desk dock.
Edit: found a video for it too:

If you can ask them to take a pic of the usb port in the dock to ensure that the plug is facing the correct way when you dock the N7. There was a dock that was backwards that I have seen in the earlier accessory threads.

I brought this stand from ebay -
http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/NEW-USB-D...1551658547733956827&pid=100011&prg=1005&rk=1&
- and although the one that arrived looked different from the picture it's actually smaller and neater and the (annoying?) blue led is behind the Nexus when it's in it's stand. I think it was good value for the money - oh and the USB is the right way round for the Nexus and much easier to insert on the stand than the OEM supplied charger, (as I think the usb is the "wrong/other" way round on the Nexus compared to all my other devices!)

Noticed that Amazon.com sells 3 docks for the Droid BIONIC at significantly lower than MSRP.
[Prices as of 03-07-2013]
**The docking stations are compatible with both the standard battery and the extended battery. They are only compatible with a few cases. [Thanks, Underwater Mike]

Any idea whether the standard dock will fit a phone with extended battery installed?
Thanks for the heads-up.

I think there is an insert in the dock that can be removed to fit the extended battery. This isn't explicitly stated in the item description on Amazon, though, and Motorola's product page for the dock is less than helpful. :-\
Also worth noting that a number of reports indicate that it will not fit the Bionic with any sort of case installed, though.

I have the extended battery and the standard and vehicle docks. The bionic with extended battery fits in perfectly with the insert in place. Actually it fits a little better because the insert is designed for both the extended and regular battery.
Also, if you remove the insert, some cases will work. In particular I have used a casemate case and a generic polyurethane case and it worked fine in both the standard and vehicle docks. This only applies to the standard battery though (I haven't used or seen a case for the bionic with extended battery).
Thanks for all the tips.
Just a heads-up that the lowest Amazon-fulfilled price on the car dock went up to $23.89.

Thanks. Updated the OP with today's prices. Still much cheaper than when they came out!
Bought the car dock and the standard dock. Both fit with the extended battery AND an aftermarket TPU case -- nice and snug, as it should be. All you have to do is remove the insert.
Thanks again for posting this. Great deal!

Thanks for the update. I'll add these bits to the original post.
Good links, should also add the navigation mount sans charger is $11.45 as of today which kind of irks me as I ordered it 2 days ago and it was $16... ugh anyway it is good for ppl who already have a car charger and don't need the spiffy USB charger with the 3.5mm audio jack. I already have that charger from my D3 car dock or someone might just use bluetooth to link which is going to be way better quality anyway.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B005NARB7W/ref=ox_ya_os_product
Oh and the lapdock is $69.99 at Ben's Outlet, free shipping
http://www.bensoutlet.com/products/motorola-droid-bionic-lapdock
Just picked one of these up too and the extender cables on amazon so I can use it with a case.
Interestingly, there was an Amazon Lightning Deal on the car dock as a part of their Black Friday promotion. The problem was they jacked the "normal price" up to $39.99 and offered the "sale price" for $25 or so... If I hadn't been keeping up with this post and updating it regularly, I'd have thought it was a great deal!!

All of the accessories (and the Icarus ROM) are what keep me in my Bionic (got the Costco deal on launch day and have added two more standard docs, and HD doc and a moto BT mouse and keyboard)
Updated OP to reflect most recent amazon prices with links. Added Lapdock, which is now available on amazon.
Does the lapdock have it's own battery, or will it suck power out of the phone while it's unplugged?
Also -- I've been away from developments as of late -- does it work with the JB custom roms or is that on a per-rom basis?

The lapdock has its own battery and I think it will charge the phone while not plugged in.
Not sure about the second part, I think it depends on the rom

Hey everyone, not sure if people are still on the fence with some of the Wireless charging pads out there but, here's a solid solution.
ChoeTech Qi Charger
I had purchased a couple of the Durcell Powermats and only 1 of my 3 cases would charge with it. So, I decided to try another one.
All 3 are working flawlessly ....
Obliq Slim
Spigen Ultra Thin
Verus Card Slot Case (This is the one I really wanted it to work with).
Obliq case poly bumper
Some may not be as pumped as myself, but it's nice to see a decently priced pad work so well. Figured I'd share what I found out, since it might help others considering their options.
I got the same thing for my diy car mount and it works awesome. 3 coil is the only way to go in my books.

Thanks OP! Really appreciate that. Just ordered myself.
Did it work with the slot case while cards where inside? I bought two of the disappointing PowerMat chargers and it's annoying to have to remove it and then place it just perfectly on the charger. Defeats the entire purpose of wireless charging for me, convenience.

I can confirm it charges with two cards in the slot (Debit card and Driver's license). Really loving this wireless charger.
Those durcell mats really let me down... I should have known better with them being so cheap. I hated taking my case off to charge the phone.

Yeah my duracell powermat has a hard time charging through all but my thinnest case. And even then I have to reposition the phone precisely for it to work at all. I got a couple of those CHOE Qi chargers and they work through all the cases I've tried so far.
Just received mine and it works flawlessly! I've got 3 cards in my slider case and it still charges without issue. Haven't had to mess around with placement of my phone either, super convenient. Thanks for sharing!

Awesome! Glad it's working! Go Cubs and Go Kris Bryant! haha.
I have a Ravpower wireless charger/stands. These are also 3 coil chargers as well.
http://www.amazon.com/RAVPower-RP-W..._1_1?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1429553662&sr=1-1
The real pain in the ass is that the Speck Candyshell Grip case is spotty to charge on it. It stops charging at random intervals and then picks up and charges again. If the case if off, I get no interruptions when I wirelessly charge.
http://www.amazon.com/Speck-Product..._1_2?s=wireless&ie=UTF8&qid=1429553865&sr=1-2
Be careful if you get this Candyshell grip case. Its a great case, but the issues with wireless charging suck.
yup, 3 coils is the way to go hands down. stronger charging and also you can place anywhere, no need to fiddle around on where to place the device which was annoying on the Duracell mat.
Also having issues with the Duracell one not going through the case.. will pick up one of these!

I can check when I get home from work, but googled it and it's 10.6mm (0.42 inches). According to Choetech
I know I have mentioned these previously in this thread, but I have a pair of these and they are nice if you want to have a stand.

There is a bit of a price premium, but I like having my phone standing up facing me here at work and at home. They also convert to laying down as well if you would like. The triple coil works wonders as well. I highly recommend them.
Has anyone had any luck finding a decent dock for this phone? Alternatively, does anyone know if the G3 docks are usable?

I buy at amazon last year
here!
What kind of dock you need? with or without charging??
Where did you buy that case ?
Not sure if you found your answer, but I just purchased and received the MOTONG Dual USB Cradle with Battery Slot Charger Dock.
http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B010E4ASDU?psc=1&redirect=true&ref_=oh_aui_detailpage_o00_s01
The dock fits well with the leather back and seems to stabilized while in the dock.
There seem to be many versions of this dock so take your pick.
It's inexpensive and it works...what more can you ask for?
Hey everyone, I have just seen these usb adaptors that clip into your usb port. Then magnetically connect to a USB cable for data/charging. Anyone using one? Would you recommend?
Here is an example
WSKEN XCable Magnetic USB Cable
https://www.amazon.co.uk/WSKEN-XCable-Performance-Compatible-Smartphones-Silver/dp/B00XJQHBOA
Interesting. I didn't know those were available. I wonder how well they'd work with the M8...
Looks like its a standard friction fit in the USB port, but you leave it inserted all the time. The magnet is only used to connect the cable to the port adapter.
The perk of wireless charging because it doesn't wear out your port, but it should be a lot more efficient and run a lot cooler than using a wireless charging adapter.
I may have to order a few. I wonder if it will play nice with quickcharge2.0... hmm...
Hi, yes, interesting. I can see a big advantage from not pluging/unpluging.
But from the photo it looks like the flat magnetic part will cover the headphone socket.
Anyone tried this (or similar) yet?

I don';t think it will because if you look at the picture you can see the "plug" you put in your phone is the same width as the other end of the cable, I just compared that to a USB cable I have here, seems to be enough room, but not for big 3,5mm plugs I think, I think it would leave like 2mm space
Hi, had a quick look on Amazon and they have similar ones with the plug in part that looks smaller. only thing is some reviews say they fall out too easily. Also needs to be checked with clearance for your own case (if you use one).
If I see one in a shop I would like to give it a try though.
It has really bad reviews. I am looking for a good replacement cable. Don't know why HTC doesn't sell them for the M8 or M9. I have tried different brands Anker and they are junk. Can't find a good cable that doesn't wear out. Any advice would be great.

I hate waiting for non-domestic orders, so I try to avoid them as much as possible. Magnetic usb charging is now my favorite new unnecessary luxury in my gadget life.

Is the cable part reversible? It looks like it would be, but there is no info in the listing to indicate definitively if the mag part has to be in a specific orientation.

Yes it is. You can flip the magnet end either way (upside down/right side up) and it will grab and hold pretty firm. Notice it has an even numbered amount of pins (10 - two rows of 5) this is key to a "flip-able" attachment.
Hi,
Well, nearly 8 weeks later and my magnetic cables just arrived. From China to Dubai with Christmas and New Year in between so...
The good news is they are excellent. Very tight to get in the usb port (which is good), very small and fits with my phone cases. As said above, its reversible.
Bought from tim-hpx on ebay.
